  You wished you could say you watched the other matches. You really didn't. All you heard was that Bakugo basically tormented Ochako, and Midoriya gave Todoroki a run for his money. That's it.

  And before you knew it, you were standing before Iida, who tried to look menacing. Honestly, if you squinted and tried to be afraid, he might scare you a bit. He was serious about this, but unless he truly had a reason to be fighting you, you weren't sure he could scare you.

"And now, after our intense match between Midoriya and Todoroki, we have our hopefully less destructive matchup of L/n, going against the one and only Iida! It's speed against agility, force against cunning! Now, start!" Present Mic's voice flew through the air, as flames blew up around you. You sighed, closing your eyes and lowering yourself to the ground, on all fours.

Iida's sweat, his nervousness, his fear betrayed his stone-faced facade. All of them made him an easy target for your smell. You gave off a light smile, hissing in delight, opening your eyes to face Iida, who was trying to circle around you. You crawled on all fours, staying opposite of him.

"I can smell your fear, Iida." You told him, smiling in delight as his look began to break up. Worry crossed his face, as he watched a string of your drool fall onto the platform.

"Was it the tail, Iida? The performance at the quirk examination? How I single-handedly took down Ashido and Aoyama during All Mights class? What makes you fear this little bug you face now?" You asked him. Iida began to step forward, something you answered with a light hissing chuckle, taking a step forward, towards Iida.

"Come on, Iida, I dare you to try and squash me. I. Dare. You." With each word, you shifted your body more and more, stepping forward towards Iida. He almost took a step back, but stopped himself. He was doing his best to face you, but his fear was a stench to you.

"Your fear stinks, Iida. It's like stepping in a room full of fresh dog shit, you know that? You don't have to be so scared of little old me, do you?" You cooed, decreasing the distance between you two, step by step.

"W-what's this!" Present Mic shouted, narrating your efforts.

"L/n's using intimidation tactics to scare Iida into submission! Incredible!" That seemed to snap Iida out of his fear. His face grew focused, angered even, and his boosters flared to life.

"Come on, Iida, I'm right here! Try and step on this bug, I dare you!" You shouted, delighted.

"Enough of your foolish tactics! I won't let myself be intimidated by the likes of you!" Iida finally spoke, taking a stance. He broke into a sprint, lifting his leg to kick you as he tried to jump up towards you.

"There you go! Just know..." you bent your knees, before leaping into the air, just over Iidas kick. Too slow.

"This bug bites back!" You grabbed Iida by his face as he passed, almost dislocating your shoulder when his momentum was suddenly halted by your grab. Not letting that faze you, you forced Iida's head onto the ground, wrapping your tail around his neck, similar to what you did to Shiozaki in order to defeat her. Iida would learn from her mistakes.

  He grabbed your tail by it's bladed tip, forcefully unraveling it from his neck. Physically, he was stronger than you, so there was little you could do other than let your tail resist his efforts. But it made for one helluva distraction.

  Iida gasped for air as he loosened enough of your tail to let him breath. In the moment of vulnerability, you broke your tail free of his grip for a moment, wrapping it back around his neck. Iida immediately grabbed for it again, as your forearms shifted back to their humanoid form. You cracked your knuckles, looking at his exposed torso.
