And just like that, Phobos takes down yet another high-tier student, making another huge upset!! And don't get the wrong idea, Phobos does not have plot armor or anything. Remember, we analyze both students and their capabilities with their quirks. And while Sergei is certainly strong in his demon form, it pales in comparison to Phobos' black flames. The sheer force, heat, and velocity he's capable of unleashing it with was too much for someone as tough as Sergei to handle, but the fight was still fairly close. And now, we move on to match 2 of the quarters. Will Josh keep his promise to Phobos? Or will Trini knock him out and spoil the moment? Time to find out! Enjoy!



-POV: Josh-

"YES!! Way to go, Phobos!" I cheered as I watched his match unfold on the TV in my room. It was much closer than i'd liked it to be but he ended up pulling out the win. He kept his promise to me by making it to the semi finals, and now I just have to keep mine so I can meet him there.

"I tell ya, guys, Phobos has certainly made a name for himself here in this festival! Even if he doesn't come out on top, having taken down Todoroki, and now top Gregorvsky Alpha student, Sergei is no small feat! Pro heroes be aware! There's a new kid on the block and his name is Phobos Martellin!" All Might spoke as he got the crowd all hyped up. 

"You got that right, Might! He's become the ultimate underdog in this tournament, but we can't forget about our other competitors! With Sergei now eliminated from the competition, Gregorvsky Alpha is now out of the running for top school. But Queen's Strong and U.A both still have their top students in the field, meaning they're both still gunning for the top spot!" Present Mic announced. 

"Persevering Heights still outnumbers the international competitors though. They have a great advantage, despite all being first years. Even with the top students still here, P.H has the overall advantage." Eraser Head said as his co-hosts agreed with him. 

"But even with 4 of P.H's students still in this competition, it's still anyone's game. One of them has already made it to the semi finals, and now, I think it's time to find out who's meeting him there! Let's move on to match number 2 of the quarter finals!" All Might announced with intensity as the crowd erupted into cheers. 

"Competitor Josh, please make your way to your entry gate. Your match will begin shortly." The P.A system said as it cut out. I got up from the table in my room and left it, heading down all the way to my entry gate. But when I got there, something unexpected occurred. 

"Oh bloody hell, I went to the wrong bloody gate." Trini said as she was here too.

"How'd you forget where your gate was? You only got two options and you're literally informed which one you go to before you're called down." I said to her with a bit of a chuckle as she just rolled her eyes. 

"I don't know why, guess my brain just went all fuzzy when I left my room. Ugh! Now I've got to run all the way down so I can make it in time to be called out." I said as she went to leave. But, before she could I reached out and grabbed her left arm to stop her. 

"Hold it." I said to her as she let out a sigh and then looked back at me. 

"What do ya want? I know you're my enemy and all but i'm kinda in a hurry." Trini said to me. 

"Look, just listen to me. It'll make things way easier for you anyways. Now hear me out, no one ever said we couldn't go out of the same gate, right? So, to save you some time and to make sure you're not late, why not just come out of my gate with me?" I offered to her as she began to think about it. 

"That would save me the run and some getting exhausted early.... alright! You got yourself a deal, Joshy boy!" Trini said as I let go of her and then rolled my eyes.
