Battle on, Challengers!

"Welcome back to the finals everyone!" Present Mic greeted, "Sorry for that long wait. The insane amount of ice from the second match has finally been cleared though. So it's time to welcome the new competitors!"

"Even beautiful flowers have thorns, it's the assassin from Class 1B, Ibara Shiozaki from the Hero course!"

A girl with vine-like hair stepped onto the stage. I was quite curious to what her Quirk was.

"Is it her hair? I bet it is her hair! Is it really thorny? What'll happen if she grabs me with her hair? WILL I BLEED?" I began to move in my seat, disturbing Tokoyami immensely.

"Midori-chan, I'll be asking you to stop." I blinked my eyes, listening to Tokoyami. "Stop."

"Sorry, Toko-kun~ It's a habit of mine," I tooth-grinned. He sighed and just looked back at the battlefield.

Present Mic moved on to the other fighter, "Versus— the boy with an electric personality, another hero in the making, Denki Kaminari!"

I saw the familiar yellow hair with a unique black streak in his hair walk up to the field. He had a smug grin on his face, which, I was sure of, would be wiped away instantly.

"KEEP THOSE EYES APPEALED! I WANT TO SEE A SUPER FLASHY BATTLE THIS TIME!" Present Mic yelled, hoping to experience some excitement from the sideline.

However, the man was cut off, "Excuse me! Please pardon my interruption." Shiozaki had her hand up to catch the man's attention. She had a somewhat worried look on her expression, which made me curious.

"I'm not sure why you called me an assassin. I've come to the festival in search of victory, not to take an opponent's life," she spoke innocently, which I believed, was also her true nature.

''True nature'? My puns, really...'

"That wouldn't be in line with the values of heroes at all." Shiozaki got cut off.

"Right! Sorry!" Present Mic apologized to her.

"Gentlemen, I didn't enter UA for wicked or selfish reasons." A light was then shining down upon her, making her look like a holy maiden. "But to deliver salvations to others! It is my humble quest to spread good across the world."

I was speechless. Not like I wasn't expecting that from her, but at the fact that she pulled that off even better than in those animes I watched. She reflected justice in a kind way. And, seemingly that she hates violence, she'd be some sort of rescue hero, in my opinion.

"LISTEN! I SAID I WAS SORRY! IT WAS MY BAD, OKAY?" Present Mic apologized again.

"I thank you for your kind understanding," she bowed down in gratitude towards the male. Very graceful, she was. Like she carried dignity so modestly.

Kaminari looked quite astonished and seemed to mumble something to himself — which I couldn't hear from where I was sitting. It also seemed as though he was having a mental fight with himself, which made me come to the conclusion that the fight was 100% about the girl, Ibara Shiozaki.
