(Y/N)'s POV:

It was now the day of the final exams, the matchups being made in the last meeting, I found I was going to fight Aimee, whose quirk is metal manipulation; I should be fine if we stay within close contact but I don't really know her fighting style since she's new. I disagreed to her doing the finals since she's just joined, yet Nezu said it would be a good way to test her abilities and rank her against the other students; I also disagreed because I didn't want to bother getting involved in the finals and rather sit back and just watch, since it was less work but oh well.

My fight was second, right after Kirishima & Sato vs Cementoss and right before Yaoyaorozu & Todoroki vs Eraserhead; to say I was scared to disappoint Shota was an understatement, of course, I would love for Aimee to show her potential, but I also feel like I neither have shown my true potential, here as a teacher at UA; I feel as though I've come off as weak, which don't get me wrong there are a lot of teachers and students here who are more powerful than I'll ever be, but I feel like there's more in me than just this, I have to go beyond my limit. Why am I doubting myself? I've failed so many times before but I won't do it this time, I won't let her win.

"Hey, Pixie it's your turn to go now," Nezu says coming up to me and putting his paw(?) on my shoulder, as I was sitting down it was a lot easier for him to reach.

"Thankyou Nezu" I bow to him and walk over to Aizawa "Wish me luck"

"You don't need luck," He says as I kiss his cheek and walk over to take my position, hiding near to the exit in case Aimee decides to run so I can sneak out on her, that would be the most logical since a lot of my past fights haven't been published online as I like to stay away from the media, their intentions to pry into my life becoming too much in England when they started stalking me, publishing any article they could about me to try and get more readers, once an article was published when they spied on me swimming in my back garden, causing me to move for the 5th time that year due to press; the media may not be so bad and meddling in Japan, but I keep my guard up for the sake of my privacy.

Of course, Aimee Nonya is seen to be at a disadvantage being the only student who has no teammate to go up against a teacher, however, we've allowed her 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes like the rest of the students to try and escape or handcuff me. Her abilities may be unknown to be, metal manipulation being her quirk, has made it easier for me to understand by looking through her file, the information transferred to us by her normal school, allowing me to see her the basics of her fighting style and understand her costume more, which seems to have developed a bit more than the last time the file was updated.

3...2...1...GO

It has begun, I run through alleyways trying to be as quiet as possible close to the exit to try and seek out Aimee. Turning a corner I spot her, stopping in my tracks and turn back a little, seeing her already using the lamppost to bend it in order to help her, the metal melts down into a liquid form which she then moulds into little balls, changing their state back to solid and storing in one of her pockets.

"I know you're behind me," She says turning around as I reveal myself "Let's just get this over and done with," She says shocking me slightly at how calm she is.

I go towards her, blowing my dust in the air to try and reach her to control her, luckily I had a sugary meal beforehand to make sure there was enough dust made in time, see the way my quirk works is when the sugar is consumed, the energy gained has to be stored somehow and normally that storage is inside the fat cells, so the more sugar eaten the more weight I'll gain, that's why I try to limit myself for agile movement unless I'll need a lot of dust.

Taking a couple of metal balls from her pocket she melts and moulds them into a shield to protect herself from my dust, making it harder for me to hit her. Changing tactics, I come closer and engage in close contact with Nunya, who's defence levels are extremely high, but I quickly knock her to her feet, holding her arms above her head to stop her from grabbing more metal pellets from her pocket.

Abruptly, she kicks the back of my knee, making me fall on top of her; she quickly pushes me off and turns the many pellets from her pocket into a large boulder to hold me down, my hands however stuck behind my back, not allowing her access to handcuff me. She runs quickly to melt another lamppost to make into more pellets for her disposal, giving me just enough time to push the boulder off, making sure to not make enough noise for her to hear me loudly, and sneak up behind her, not giving her enough time to react, as I blow the dust onto her, coming into contact with her skin, now providing me power over her.

"You will pass me the handcuffs," I say to her as she passes me over the handcuffs; it's almost as if I can see the shock in the faces of the spectators right now.

"Now die damn it," I say throwing the handcuffs on the ground, trying to destroy them yet failing as my sugar levels start to drop from using so much at once. Luckily for me, I go in my pocket and find some pocky to munch on. Still, in control of Nunya, I decide to have some fun.

"Nunya, who're you crushing on, don't worry they can't hear us," I say smirking.

"Iida" She states simply.

"Nice choice, straight to the point I see" I smile and check how much time she has left.

"It seems you've only got 10 seconds left, time flies while you're having fun right? " I mock her, slightly feeling bad about it, I decide to let her out of my control by tapping her shoulder.

"5 seconds left, don't worry you've shown your amazing power here, I'm proud" I smile shaking the handcuffs to her to show I've won, while she still looks confused about what's going on.

"TIME UP, PIXIE HAS WON, NEXT UP MOMO YAOYAOROZU AND SHOTO TODOROKI UP AGAINST ERASERHEAD" I had won.

"Well done" I go up to her and shake her hand "You did well"

"I don't remember half of that" She states.

"Yeah, you'll remember within the next couple of hours" I smile.

We reach the others again, every one congratulating both me and Aimee; I look over to her to see her speaking to Iida as I wink and whisper to her:

"Your secret is safe with me"
