Can't Hurt Me

Three quarter final matches are now set with Harper advancing to having the unenviable task of taking on Cry. She's gotta step up everything if she wants a chance to beat him, and that's including Jiro telling her his weakness. But I have something awesome planned for our main girl with her strategy of sleeping between matches. Her next dream will be amazing. But, we've still got 2 matches left before we get to the quarters. And this next match will finally feature a class 2 student. Colson(Quirk: Pain Reflector) does have one of the toughest opponents though. But, this was one of the matches that was determined by a coin toss, so you never know. Colson could somehow find a way to take down the mighty Bakugo. Now, let's get right back into the action! Enjoy!

-POV: Colson-

"Now that was a match!!" I shouted with excitement as the 6th match of the first round came to an end. Harper from Class 1 took the win over one of her temporary student teachers, Jiro. And next up, it's my turn. But, I also had one hell of a tough opponent. One of U.A's top students and last year sports festival semi-finalist, Bakugo.

"I don't have the knockout power to beat him, and with his quirk, he's definitely faster than me. But, I absolutely have the durability over him, so if I can outlast him, I should take the win." I said to myself as I took a couple of deep breaths and did some stretches. I wanted to be as prepared as possible because i'd need to give everything I have to surpass Bakugo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're quickly rounding out our top 8 with only two more matches to go!! And i'd like to say I know who'll win this next match, but with how the prior matches have gone, I wouldn't be surprised if another upset occurred!!!" Present Mic announced. 

"Indeed, we have fan favourite, Bakugo taking on first year newcomer, Colson from P.H. This is certain to be an interesting encounter as Colson has a very different style of quirk." All Might spoke as the P.A system came on. 

"Competitor Colson, please make your way to your entry gate. Your match will begin shortly." The voice said as it then cut out. 

"Looks like it's showtime!" I said as I stopped stretching and left my waiting room. I had only one strategy for this match, and it was super risky. So, I was praying that it paid off in my favour. 

"So tell me, gentlemen, out of the 6 who have advanced to the quarter finals so far, who's looked the most impressive in your eyes?" All Might asked his co-hosts. 

"All three top students from the international schools won their matches with relative ease, so they're my choice...." Eraser Head said as he looked as droopy as ever. 

"Well that's the obvious choice, but we can forget that the other three combatants are all from P.H academy. Phobos, Harper, and Josh all had impressive wins over U.A second years, some of them favourites to win this whole thing. I tell ya, these first years are something to behold! One of them may just come out on top of the whole competition!" Present Mic announced as I arrived at my gate. 

"I'm with you there too, Mic! But let's get back to what we're here for! The fights!! So let's introduce our next two competitors!" All Might shouted as the crowd got all hyped up once again. 

"First up, he made it to the top 4 of last years U.A sports festival, but this year he's looking to go all the way to the top!! The hero in training who won't be stopped by anything, he's looking to blast through any and all obstacles that get in his way!! Put your hands together for Katsuki Bakugo!!!" Present Mic shouted as my opponent made his way into the arena. He had one fierce expression on his face, like he wanted to murder someone. He didn't bother to wave to the crowd or anything, he was just focused on the match.
