I Fear That the Third Round Has Started

At that point, it was lunch, so it was announced that they would take an hour lunch break before the afternoon's activities.

Mikutori walked to the entrance closest to the school's cafeteria, meandering inside before grabbing her signature lunch. She sat alone in the corner, wishing Todoroki was there to cool her noodles. She hadn't waited for him, she had no obligation to, right?

What? No! You don't need friends, her brain told her. People are not trustworthy, and you shouldn't let them in. Ever. They wouldn't understand you.

Mineta soon approached most of the girls of their class, he and Kaminari telling them about having to wear a cheerleading uniform. Mikutori scoffed at them. It was obviously a lie, as Mineta claimed Aizawa had told the whole class, and Mikutori had no recollection of it.

She didn't say anything though, if they wanted to fall for his tricks, then they deserve to make a fool of themselves. She glared back down at her noodles. Luckily everyone was too invested in themselves to bother her, so she was able to eat in peace, for once. For after the afternoon activities, she wouldn't get much time to relax at all.

Lunch ended, and Mikutori returned to the arena, looking over to where a handful of girls were wearing cheerleading uniforms. Mikutori scoffed at them as they were sulking about being tricked.

They looked over at Mikutori as she scoffed, Jiro narrowing her eyes.

"Kumosora, you were there! If you knew they were lying, why didn't you tell us?" Jiro asked angrily, and Mikutori glared venomously back.

"If you're all dumb enough to fall for his stupid tricks, then you deserve to make a fool of yourselves," she stated her earlier thoughts, crossing her arms before walking away back towards the stage.

Midnight soon explained the setup of the last game, but before people could pick lots, Ojiro raised his hand, claiming that he didn't want to be in the finals, since he had no recollection of the entire cavalry battle. Mikutori narrowed her eyes, scanning for the purple-haired boy she knew he was grouped with. She found him, but did nothing. Another boy, from class 1-B, also dropped for the same reason. This, in turn, allowed for two people from another team to take their places.

They chose their lots, and were assigned to brackets. Mikutori looked up, she would be against Tokoyami in the first round. She quickly looked at the other bird-boy, his eyes already narrowed on her sky-blue ones. She hummed before turning back to Midnight.

The smaller games started, but most of the contestants for the final game did not participate, either resting, having fun, or preparing. Mikutori decided to do some last minute reading, sitting atop the lockers in her class's waiting room. It was a book on strategy she hadn't read yet, so she dove right in, leaning back while Iida attempted to tell her off for sitting on the lockers. She ignored him, for she was nervous about the battle, Tokoyami's Dark Shadow was powerful, she wasn't sure if she would be able to beat it.

While she was going to try her best, winning was still not her main priority, so she didn't fret on it too much. Being hit by Dark Shadow seemed painful, she wasn't sure how she would be able to handle it if she was hit multiple times.

The thought of her bones breaking made her grimace. Enough power-heavy hits to the same location, and her hollow bird-like bones could break in an instant. She gulped, she wouldn't let that happen.

She was in the middle of reading when a figure stepped up to the bank of lockers she was sitting on, and Mikutori looked up from her book to see Midoriya standing there, nervously wringing his hands together.

Mikutori closed the book before gracefully hopping down from the lockers, straightening up to look into Midoriya's large green eyes. They silently walked out of the waiting room, Mikutori leading the way down the hallway, turning a corner and stopping before facing the green-haired boy.
