Y/n POV
The three of us met in the room with Midnight and Cementoss.
"Since we have you three finalists we will draw slots for the matchups. The loser of the 1st match will get 3rd place and then the final match." Midnight explained. I'm ready. Let's get this show on the road. I walked up to the table to draw the name of the person i was to fight. Then the door slammed open.
"Y/n i need a word with you." I turned in agony towards the voice. Cementoss spoke before i could.
"Master Inei. What's the meaning of this?" Bakugou was looking around in confusion. Midnight explained that he was my uncle and a government agent in the quirk regulation division. He was pretty influential so we couldn't exactly turn down his request. I sighed and walked out of the room with him. We walked down the hallway a bit and he then turned to me.
"Y/n. You're going to forfeit. Tell them you accept 3rd place and call it a day." There's no way i heard that right. Not only does he want me to quit, he wants me to lose? I cleared my throat.
"W-why?" Dammit. You are not doing well today. All your fucking walls are crumbling and your world is going with it. Uncle put a hand on my shoulder and flinched it off.
"A very nice important person has offered me a deal and you winning the tournament, which lets be honest you would, would upstage the man and ruin the deal. You do understand y/n? Without you the plan is ruined." To hell with his vague plan. I've always done what he said but this is the first time in my life I've really wanted something, for no other reason than personal satisfaction. Money, power, fame i dont give a fuck. I just want to win this for me, and he wants to take that away from me.
"Uncle you must've lost your mind. There's no way I'm gonna—" SLAP. What? Did he just? A cinema reel ran through in fast forward in my mind. *Of my childhood, how he'd coerce me into being an obedient doll. The methods he used to make me docile. I thought it was over. He hasn't hit me since i was 12. But i guess i always played the part since then. I looked up at him and raised a hand to my face. It still stung, but the good thing about having dark skin is you cant always see redness. *
"Now darling you know i dont like resorting to violence, but i need you to see things my way. You understand, dont you?" He placed a hand on my shoulder and i didnt flinch this time. I took a shaky inhale.
"Y-yes Uncle." He smiled at me.
"Good. Now fix your voice and go tell them the news." I nodded and went back to the room. I took a few deep breaths. Put on a show now. Break down later. I exhaled and opened the door.
Bakugou POV
She came back in the room after about 5 minutes. What the hell happened to her? She looks..like she's barely holding it together. The words that were gonna come out of her mouth shook me.
"I forfeit." She said with a small smile. Both IcyHot and i approached her.
"What the hell do you mean you forfeit?"
"Y/n do you feel ok?" IcyHot reached out to her and she waved her hands in front of her face. She giggled.
"I'm fine Shoto, seriously. I'm just forfeiting. Ill still take 3rd place. Besides you two want it more and have better motivations than i do. So I'll let you guys duke it out." She turned to Midnight and nodded. Midnight looked at her and shrugged.
"Alright then. Bakugou and Todoroki you will fight each other in the finals. L/n you will receive 3rd place." And we were dismissed.
