Another Chance (My Hero Academia)

Chapter 13

*Riki's POV*

Kirishima and Tetsutetsu both passed out, Midnight calling it a draw which would later be settled.

"NEXT IS KATSUKI BAKUGO VS OCHACO URARAKA!!" Mic yelled as I snuck back into my seat.

The fight was explosion after explosion, Uraraka dodging all of his blows and moving through the smoke. Towards the end, everyone seemed to boo at Bakugo for going hard on her, but my dad interrupted.

"Will you stop that sexist commentary? This is a battle. You guys clearly haven't been paying attention. This whole time, she's been dodging hit after hit, hiding the fact that she was actually building up her attack." My dad said and I mentally agreed with him.

No one saw the hundreds of rocks that were floating in the sky.

When Bakugo was standing there, waiting for Uraraka to make her move, he finally looked up.

"Release!" Uraraka commanded and all the rocks fell down.

Bakugo rose his hand in the air and set off the biggest explosion I've ever seen come from his palm. The entire stadium was all hot because of it and people hounded Shoto for his ice quirk. Once the smoke cleared, everyone saw Bakugo standing there, his arm still in the air, all the rocks being destroyed. I watched as Bakugo's arm twitched, his arm being worn and burnt out from that explosion.

That's the first time I've seen him at his limit.

He called out for Uraraka when she stumbled to the ground and tried to get up. She failed and stayed on the ground, passing out.

"KATSUKI BAKUGO WINS!" Midnight announced after she saw that Uraraka was unconscious.

"OUR NEXT MATCH IS..A TIE BREAKER! A SIMPLE GAME OF ARM WRESTLING!" Midnight announced as the steel and rock boys wrestled it out.

The table that they were using cracked and crumbled as the two boys gripped it tightly in their hands. After a lot of grunting and screaming, Kirishima slammed Tetsutetsu's hand down, claiming victory.

"EIJIRO KIRISHIMA WINS!" Midnight announced and the crowd cheered.

I looked to my side, seeing Bakugo behind me. I moved and sat next to him, hearing him growl at me.

"Is your arm okay? Do you want me to heal it?" I asked quietly, knowing that he'd want this to be a secret.

"The fuck? I'm perfectly fine, get lost loser." He growled but I still saw his arm twitching.

"HEADING INTO THE QUARTER FINAL ROUND, WE HAVE IZUKU MIDORIYA VS SHOTO TODOROKI!!" Mic yelled but I paid no attention to him.

I sighed and rolled my eyes at the stubborn ash blonde. I took his ability to move and I took my left hand glove off. I gently placed my hand on his forearm, knowing that he can still feel things. A soft, white glow came from my hand and trailed through his veins, his arm slowly healing on the inside. I kept healing his arm until he was back to new, the glow slowly fading away to tell me he was all good. I pulled my glove back on and got up, walking up to the edge of the booth. I returned Bakugo's ability to move as I focused on the fight, ignoring the burning feeling of Bakugo's stare.

That little fucker...he didn't even bother to tell me! Oh wait, he doesn't know I know.

I was finally positive. Seeing Midoriya use his quirk, getting broken bone after broken bone made me 1,000% sure that this quirk was One for All.

All Might gave his quirk to Midoriya.

I inwardly shook my head. The kid has determination, but his body is weaker than the dam that holds back his tears. I wonder...I've heard that All Might and Midoriya have only known each other since that sludge monster...and Midoriya suddenly got a quirk before entering UA.
