Chapter 27

"And that's the end of the second round: The Cavalry Battle!" Present Mic yelled, bringing all participants to a stop. I landed with full force, making a small crater, jarring Midoriya at the same time. The students faces and expressions were varied.

Some looked relieved, some looked dejected, some were openly crying, some looked they went to hell and came back and interestingly Denki was just walking around with a stupid ass expression on his face, giving double thumbs-ups for no apparent reason.

Present Mic announced the battle results, "In the first place Team Monoma, the second..." I lifted mine and Midoriya's arm in victory. Present Mic's announcements were barely heard over the deafening cheer of the crowd and again the chanting started, "MONOMA! MONOMA!..."

"Before we start the next round we will be have a break for lunch. The cafeteria is open. And the students who have advanced please return to your respective waiting rooms." With that almost the whole stadium was emptying out, eager to fill their stomachs or taste the cuisine provided.

I was about to go inside when I was accosted by Todoroki, "*sigh* What do you want now? I'm really hungry you know? Don't waste my time" the guy kept staring at me, "Dude, don't take this the wrong way... I'm into girls. I'm not saying batting for the other team is wrong, its just that I-" he cut me off.

His face became intense and serious, "I witnessed your power and it reminds me of someone. Monoma.... are you perhaps...All Might's secret Love Child?"

"....." I could almost hear a crow cawing in the distance, "Ahou! Ahou! Ahou!"

"By your silence, should I confirm th-" "What?! No you fucking idiot! My dad left me and mom a few years ago, after cheating on her. Damn! you're way stupider than I thought you were." I retorted.

He gave a pause and continued as if nothing happened, "My dad is Endeavour. I'm sure you know he's been stuck at No.2 forever. If you have 'something' from the No.1 hero, then I have all the more reason to beat you. My dad has a strong desire...."

I stood there and slept with my eyes open. Honestly, I did not know I could do that... must be a new quirk or something. ".... heard of Quirk Marriages?" "Nope" I replied waking up, I had absolutely no clue as to what he was talking about.

He told me his story how his father forced his mother to marry him, not out of love but just to get her quirk and his mom pouring hot water on his face, the reason for his fucked up left-side. He reminds me of a character, especially with that burnt-ass face of his, of an anime I saw before I started watching Naruto. I think even he had power over fire and had daddy issues.

"I'll win and beat you without using my left-side and show that bastard that I do not need his quirk. No matter what you are to All Might, I will defeat you with only my right side. Sorry for wasting your time." He turned to leave when I stopped him, "You are very naive to think that you can stop me with half your quirk.

I understand where you've coming and your circumstances but such is life. If you're not going to give your hundred percent, then quit being a hero. Heroes... they are people who go above and beyond the call of duty, pushing themselves to give their 120% to be who they truly are.... heroes.

You come in here, telling me you will use half-a-quirk to beat me? Not even in your dreams. Infact after our match, if and when it comes, I will haunt you in your dreams- no, nightmares and keep beating the shit out of you until you come to your senses and forgot this stupid tantrum you're throwing your father's way.

You have a daddy issue? Well boohoo!! Half the world had it. So suck it up and do what you have to do. Even our school's motto expects you to do more than your best. To push yourself and break through your limits...PLUS ULTRA. Remember that when you are fighting me.

I said that and walked away to the cafeteria, with my mood soured. But that was quickly appeased with a nice hot steaming plate ouf stuffed Onigiris. Pickled herring, pickled vegetable, pickled plum, fresh tuna were the varieties I got today. I had one of each.

Lunch was over when Mic called us out to the stadium to assemble. Before the Third event started recreational activities that I had no interest whatsoever to participate.

Finally the event had arrived. One-on-one fights. It was about to start when Tail-guy from my class quit, stating he couldn't remember anything of the cavalry battle, blah blah blah. So basically the people on the Brainwasher's except him had quit, alongside some other who dint like to fight.

Because of that thw fight selection became unbalanced. So Midoriya quit telling that his objectives were more than over and he was satisfied with his performance today. I walked upto him before he left, "Midoriya, I have a small job for you.

The upcoming battles are going to give you so much information. This is your chance, record and sort through every quirk. Its strengths, weaknesses and how else it can be used, how it can be countered. Everything." He looked like I asked him to take all my money for free.

He immediately took out his notebook from literally no where and started his murmur writing.
