My Hero Life!

Chapter 5: Bakugo vs. Uraraka, Round 2

Ochaco glared into the rear of her opponent's black tank top, observing him as he stretched, prepared and readied himself for victory. She sighed as she walked the last few metres towards the location of the match - Ground Beta - in total silence, ignoring the chatter of some of the classmates behind her. Aizawa had allowed them a slot of time just before noon on the Sunday, and the whole class had wanted to watch, with some wanting to make sure that it didn't go too far. Not everyone could attend, being on their internships already, but the people who had the choice to come did not want to miss this for the world.

Katsuki peered over his shoulder and eyed his prey. "This will be fun."

The students behind Ochaco joined up with the rest of the class, who were already patiently waiting along the sidelines with the recovery robot on stand-by. Izuku gave her a pat on the shoulder, unsure of what more to do. He trusted that she had a plan. And a good one. He just hoped it didn't involve any sacrifices.

"Hey Bakugo. I'll go all out and win."

He sneered, "I shouldn't have let you live last time. Little shit. Give up."

Even if she wanted to, she couldn't. Is there any other possible choice for her now? She cringed whilst remembering the outcome of the Sports Festival, lowering her confidence greatly, even though the same memory inspired her to go beyond just a few minutes before. How do you win against the high school devil? She looked into his stare and it answered, 'you don't'.

"You think I'm afraid of you?" Said Ochaco. "I'm just surprised it took you so long last time. All bark and no bite."

"Tch." A dark aura covered the urban street that the two were to fight on. "Then die..."

Ochaco was prepared to dodge, predicting a feint or a right hook, but she wasn't expecting Katsuki to propel himself straight into the air.

"...URARAKA!"

He hammered down onto the concrete with exploding fists, but he was taken aback as she dodged to the side. She smiled, now invigorated, as each fingertip pressed against the other.

"Is that your damn quirk, or your own training?" Wondered Bakugo aloud.

"Uraraka is definitely faster." Commentated Izuku from the side, "But I know that Kaachan is in a league of his own already... I know that first-hand. She gave herself the ability to dodge, but I don't know if that's enough to win."

Bakugo bashed his fists together, creating a small line of smoke before jumping towards Uraraka in an animalistic fashion. First came a right hook, followed by a kick and a flurry of punches that Uraraka managed to dodge.

"She's so good now." Admired Kyoka.

Denki nodded his head in agreement, "But she hasn't tried to attack once, yet."

Something, however, was off; Katsuki's movements were slower. Uraraka leapt backwards once her opponent finished playing. "I see it now." Said Bakugo. "You lightened yourself to make your movements quicker."

The upcoming rescue hero was disheartened at how quickly he figured that out, but she had to wear her brave face. She took an attack stance but was surprised to see Katsuki casually walking away like nothing could touch him.

"You're scared now. You're weak. You don't have control over your technique, you look like a balloon trying not to desperately float awa-"

BOOM

Katsuki silently pierced Uraraka's gaze from where he stood, with only his face turned towards her. "Did you just try to throw debris at me again?"
