Izuku smiled at them. Both the people he had helped passed. Now what about the rest.
Kirishima has fast fists
Kirishima walked into the arena. He wasn't feeling nervous or anxious like the other two did. He was the opposite. Excited.
He looked at his opponent. Tetsu Tetsu of class 1-B. He basically had the same quirk as him. "Match...BEGIN!!!" Midnight yelled and Tetsu Tetsu immediately hardened and so did Kirishima. Kirishima dodged a punch by rolling and delivered his own. Tetsu Tetsu dodged his punch and went for the leg. Sweeping at his foot. Kirishima jumped over his foot and swung downward.
"You've gotten good huh?" Tetsu Tetsu asked. "What do you think!" Kirishima yelled as he grabbed Tetsu Tetsu's fist and twisted behind him. He moved his hands to Tetsu Tetsu's hips and picked him up before bending backwards. Giving a German suplex.
Kirishima backed off, and Tetsu Tetsu got up. "Screw all this!" Tetsu Tetsu yelled as he simply charged at Kirishima. He wanted to have an all out punch battle. Bad idea.
Kirishima's eyes widened as Tetsu Tetsu started throwing punches left and right. He began to do the same.ย Throwing a flurry of attacks at each other. But, neither of them were gaining ground. And he noticed this.
Flashback
"Hey! Leave him alone! That's not manly!" Kirishima yelled. "Oh shit! Did we get caught?" A guy with glasses questioned as he turned from beating a kid for money. "Oh, it's just shit faced Kirishima! I thought we were in real trouble!" The other kid yelled. "Shit faced Kirishima?" The glasses guy asked. "Yeah, his quirk is to harden his body. But, it only affects his face and makes his face seem like shit!" The guy laughed and yelled.
"I'd like to see that-" the glasses guy didn't get to finish as Kirishima punched him. The glasses guys glasses flew off and he looked at Kirishima angrily. He shot water out his hand and launched Kirishima back. "Hold him!" The glasses guy yelled. The other kid came and grabbed Kirishima. The glasses guy cracked his knuckles and punched Kirishima in the stomach. Kirishima coughed a little and the boy punched again. Kirishima closed his eyes as the beating continued. Then the guy behind him dropped him onto the floor. Kirishima opened his eyes to see the kid that had been getting beat before with his eyes open. Staring in horror at Kirishima's beating.
Kirishima's hand moved a little as it propped itself up and his thumb pointed up and the rest the fingers folded. It was a thumbs up. The kid got the message. And he started running. But, since Kirishima didn't see the kid properly, he didn't know who the kid was at school. Little did he know the kid was right under his nose.
Tetsu Tetsu ran home after the beating and cried onto his bed. He just hoped that Kirishima was okay.
You see Tetsu Tetsu really admires Kirishima because he did the one thing he couldn't.
Fight back
Flashback ended
Kirishima looked at his hands as he punched Tetsu Tetsu.
I'm different. My quirk has developed so much
Kirishima thought.
I trained for this moment
The speed of his fists picked up and he punched faster and harder. Tetsu Tetsu's eyes flew open as the punch got to him.
"HAAA!!!" Kirishima yelled as his body became harder. No, harder than hard. He went Plus Ultra hard.
(Not like that you perverts ๐)
Spikes formed from his body as he punched. The spikes tore through his clothes and kept growing. Tetsu Tetsu started to back off. Kirishima stopped punching and grabbing Tetsu Tetsu's shoulders. He started pushing while Tetsu Tetsu kept punching. Kirishima pushed as hard as he could as he tried to push him out of bounds. Tetsu Tetsu stared on confused.
His punches weren't doing anything.
Kirishima, you've grown farther from me once more.
Tetsu Tetsu thought as he fell out of bounds. Making Kirishima the winner.
"Kirishima wins!!" Midnight yelled and people in the crowd yelled and cheered.
"Call me crazy, but it seems like everyone from 1-A is going Plus Ultra in this competition! Aizawa what are you teaching these kids!?" Present Mic yelled. "Nothing, they became like this on their own" Aizawa said.
Izuku looked at the next battle. Bakugou and Uraraka. Not good.
He began walking toward Uraraka to give her a few tips. But stopped once he saw Bakugou move in his way. "You better not be trying to give her pointers you shit nerd" he said simply. "I'm just trying to be a good friend and wish her luck" he said back.
"Good friend my ass" Bakugou said and snarled. "You should know what that feels like Kaachan!" Izuku said. Bringing the nickname back. "What are you talking about you piece of shit?" Bakugou questioned. "Why did you tell Kaminari not to give up?" Izuku asked with a smile.
"Cause I hate losers and people who give up" he said and walked off.
Oh Bakugou, no matter how much swearing and bad actions you do to cover your heart. It'll always be there. You weren't trying to stop him from quiting cause you hate quiters you did it because you were trying to be a good friend, the only way you know how.
Izuku chuckled. Bakugou walked into the tunnel to the arena and punched the wall. He had a small blush on his face. Izuku had figured him out. Truth is Bakugou had started warming up to 1-A. Before, he saw them as stepping stones. But now, he kinda saw them as friends.
He calmed himself down as he looked at the ring.
Gotta fucking crush round face.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Even though I don't want to.
He thought as he stepped out of the shadows of the tunnel with his classic snarl. Uraraka was already there waiting. She was preparing herself. Mentally and physically as she stretched.
She stared at Bakugou with glossy eyes. Bakugou had his hands in his pockets as he looked at her.
Uraraka looked kinda nervous as she stared. Bakugou looked indifferent.
"Match...BEGIN!!!"
Don't forget to Smile Uraraka
Uraraka looked at Bakugou with a nervous smile. She ran at him, but soon jumped back to dodge an explosion. Bad idea. She turned to see Bakugou fly behind her, faster than he usually was. He lifted his hand to explode her and she quickly covered herself with her jacket. The explosion hit and she was knocked backwards. She quickly stood, only to be blown back once more by an explosion. She turned to see Bakugou charging up explosions.
He looked at her with a calm expression.
He's not taking this seriously
She thought as she ran around him in a circle. She then stopped and jumped to him. He simply lifted his hand and exploded her. She flew back and landed on her back. She rolled a little and stood with shaky legs. "Give up" was all he said.
"No" was all she said. Bakugou snarled as he activated his explosions. Making them crackle in his hands. He began to run to her and jumped. Allowing his explosions to carry him to her. Flying toward her.
She quickly got into a fighting stance. Bakugou formed a fist as he flew closer. Uraraka lifted her arms to block. Bakugou...flew right past her. And she soon began to fly backwards. Bakugou was pulling her out the arena.
If I don't have to fight you, I'm not going to
Bakugou thought as he held her by her jacket and pulled her. Uraraka saw the edge of the arena they were quickly approaching. She looked down and estimated about a metre fall. Not too bad.
She slipped her arms out of her jacket and landed with a roll on the cement floor. Bakugou stopped pulling and looked at the empty jacket with a snarl. Before throwing it onto the arena floor.
He flew down and landed before jumping toward her. He swiped at her face and hit her with an explosive punch. He wasn't done though. Following up the hit with a kick to the stomach. Using the momentum from the kick and a few explosions, he twisted and kneed her in the stomach again.
Uraraka felt herself quickly lose air as another punch came. She was stuck in Bakugou's barrage of hits.
People in the crowd looked on with pity.
"Poor girl"
"How can he just hit a girl like this"
"Jeez"
"That boy is merciless"
Bakugou once again punched her in the face and blood spewed out her nose. She fell backwards and landed with a thud. She quickly stood though. Getting back into a now sloppy stance from fatigue and pain.
"Why won't you just stay down!?" He yelled as he kicked her in the stomach. Making her fly backwards. Just as she was about to stand. She got blown back on to all fours by an explosion.
Uraraka looked at him with a determined look as she stood. Bakugou snarled at it. He punched her before throwing her in the air. He then rocketed toward her and punched her in the face.
She landed looking up at the sky. She slowly rose to her feet not facing Bakugou. Bakugou walked behind her and kicked her down. She landed with a bang and looked up into the crowd. She spotted her parents. She figured they would be disappointed in her.
But, when she looked at their faces...they were...smiling?
She looked confused until a memory came to her.
Flashback
A 12 year old Uraraka looked at her parents with teary eyes. "Daddy! Mommy! How can you smile at a time like this?!" She yelled.
She sat with her parents at their dinner table. She had been watching her favorite TV show, when her mother suddenly came and told her they were having a family meeting in the kitchen. She followed and found out that her father told them that they had no money. And that they were going to have to sell the house and move in with her grandma for awhile.
But, Uraraka knew this already. Without them telling her, she had deduced that they were poor. She wasn't stupid. She noticed how they had started buying less and less food from the store. Or how they didn't have power for a few days. That one was kinda hard not to notice.
But, the thing she noticed most was her mother's tears. Often she'd see her mother being comforted by her father in the kitchen when they thought she was asleep. They'd get letters. About bills, or debts, or outstanding loans to pay off and they'd discuss this when they thought she was sleeping. But, in reality, she'd be eavesdropping on them every time. Sometimes sneaking a peak at them.
She knew the situation that they were in. That's why she didn't ask for any sweets, or toys, or games. She was trying to show her parents that she understood their situation.
But, the thing that irked her. That nawed at her and made her angry. Was her father. Every time her mother would cry because of bills. He'd be there for her to cry on, but, he'd always be smiling. And it irritated her. Did he not see the problem at hand? Is he taking it lightly? What is he thinking to be smiling at this situation?
And now, she was face to face with this smile. But, this time. Her mother was also smiling.
This made things worse for her mood. She thought that they thought, that this was a huge joke. So here she is, yelling at her parents.
But, her parents just kept smiling. "What are you smiling at!?" She yelled again. Tears pricking at her eyes. "We're losing our home! And we have no money!" She said. Tears running down her cheeks. "What are you smiling at?!" She asked and turned away from them.
"Uraraka..." Her mother began. "What!" She yelled back as she turned around. She saw both parents had their arms spread out for a hug. She ran into their arms and hugged back.
"I don't get it though, what are you two smiling at?" She asked through sobs. "At the silver lining sweety" her mother said. "Silver...lining?" She asked. "Yes, you know what that is right?" Her father asked with a small chuckle after. "Yes, my teacher told us what it was in school" she said back.
"Good! There's something positive!" He said and she looked at him confused as she wiped her tears.
"You see Uraraka, there's always something to be positive about. Which means there's always something to smile about" her mother said, she rubbed circles on her back. "What's the positive about losing our home?" Uraraka asked. "Well, you won't bug me about visiting your grandma anymore, because you'll get to see her everyday and tell her your stories that she loves listening to" her father told her and a small smile appeared on her lips. "And, you'll get to eat grandma's treats anytime you want. But, don't eat too many. That's bad for you" her mother said.
Uraraka's smile grew bigger at that. "You see honey, there's always something to smile at. Because there's always something positive happening around you or to you. So you can choose to see the negative. Or the positive. It's up to you. And sooner or later, the problem will solve itself" her father explained.
"So, Uraraka don't forget to smile" her mother said.
After that, the next week. They moved out of their house to live with her grandma temporarily. And, when her father said the problem would fix itself, he was right. Cause after 2 months of living with her grandma, they won the lottery. And got 20 million ยฅ. Letting them pay off their debts and loans.
And getting a newer better house. From that day on she always smiled and was positive about life. Because, where's the fun in being
Negative.
Flashback end
Uraraka stood and smiled. She turned and smiled at Bakugou.
She knew what her parents were smiling at. Cause she could see the silver lining here as well.
She wasn't out
She hadn't lost
It's a nice sunny day
She can learn from her mistakes in this fight
But the most important one, was that. Her parents were here to support her
She smiled at Bakugou and he looked at her as if she was crazy. What is there to smile at.
She then remembered another lesson from her parents.
Doesn't matter if you win or lose, just matters if you tried.
She nodded and got into her stance. Bakugou shook his head as he flew to her. Throwing an explosive punch. She simply flipped out of the way and watched as he flew by. She even gave a wave as he did. Bakugou looked at her and shook his head.
Is she bat shit crazy
He thought as he flew back over to her. He threw a punch and she ducked. Once under him, she punched him in the gut. He flew upwards and tumbled a little as he landed. She ran at him and punched him in the face. He twisted and shot an explosion at her.
She flew back and landed with a thud.
This is good. I can learn from that mistake.
She thought and gave a toothy smile. She ran back over to him and ducked under an explosion. She then jumped and kicked him in the face. She hopped backwards to dodge a punch, and came back forward and punched him in the gut.
He looked at her confused as she twisted and threw him off the end of her fist. He landed on his feet and skidded backwards.
That's good. I thought I had really hurt him.
She thought and he ran to her. She tried to punched forward and he flipped over her. Shooting an explosion at her back. She flew forward and landed on her stomach. She felt her back burning a little from the explosion.
This is good. I was starting to get a bit cold without my jacket.
She thought and gave a sloppy smile. "What the hell are you smiling at!" He yelled at her and she just chuckled. "Your hair looks nice today. That's something to smile at" she said and shrugged. Still with that smile plastered on her face. Bakugou reeled back in shock at her answer. He shook his head and launched an explosion at her. She got hit by the the explosion and flew backwards. Landing on her burnt back.
This is good. The clouds look wonderful now. And I get to look at them now.
She thought as she stood. Everyone in the crowd looked confused. Except for her parents. Even Izuku looked confused at her happiness to be losing.
"Woo!! You go honey!! Your doing great!!" Her father yelled and everyone looked at him as if he was crazy. Your daughters getting the beating of her life and your sayingย "Your doing great"?ย
Is this guy out of his mind? "Woo!! That's it honey!! Don't stop trying!!" Her mother yelled. Uraraka smiled at her parents.
There's another positive. I haven't given up.
She thought and got an explosion to the face. She flew back once more. Landing with a thud and pain all over. But, she still smiled.
"Stop smiling!!" Bakugou yelled as he walked toward her.
He grabbed her and punched her in the gut as something black fell behind Bakugou. She coughed a little as she landed on the floor from the force of the punch. She kept coughing. Till it turned into...a laugh? What could she be laughing at? This is madness!
She slowly rose to her feet once more. "What's so funny!!" Bakugou yelled out. Utterly confused and irritated.
"You- You almost got hit by bird poop" she said as she pointed at the black and white thing on the floor behind Bakugou. He turned to look at it, then back at Uraraka. Suddenly, he heard more laughter. Coming from...Izuku? "You almost got hit with bird poop!" He yelled out and continued laughing soon a smile formed on everyone from 1-A's faces. And they all erupted in laughter. And as if it were a disease, the laughter spread throughout the crowd. And beyond the crowd.
At a hospital in Shinjuku
A patient sat on his hospital bed. He had bandages from head to toe from an accident. He saw Bakugou on TV and began laughing as well. And another was heard down the hall. Then another on the floor above him. Then another on the floor below. And when other patients asked what the laughter was all about. They spread the news.
"This kid almost got hit with bird poop!!"
"What!?"
"A kid almost got hit with bird poop!!"
And soon, almost everyone in the hospital was laughing. Some doctors that were in the rooms watched the scene on TV and chuckled with the patients.
On the street
Some people were crowded around a TV by a store window. "Man, that kid almost got shat on!" A guy yelled. Soon everyone watching was laughing.
In a prison
The inmates looked at old box TV mounted to the wall. "Hey! Did ya see that! That kid almost got shat on!!" A guy yelled as he hit another guy on the arm. The inmates began to laugh and soon they all gathered by the TV to see. Some guards even went to laugh.
At an airport
A man looked at his phone as he watched the UA Sports Festival online. He saw how Bakugou almost got shat on and covered his mouth from laughter. He walked up a random man and said "Hey watch this! This kid almost got shat on" the guy said and showed the man. The other man began laughing as well. "I gotta send this" the man said as he recorded the bird almost shitting on Bakugou on his screen and sent it to his friends and uploaded it to social media.
In a bedroom at a college
A college student sat on his bed when he suddenly heard a beeping. He looked up to see his computer. He had new mail. He went to go check it and saw the video. He had the same reaction as the other man. "Hey guys! Come check this out!" He yelled and showed it to his dorm mates. They all laughed as well. "Dude, I'm gonna send this" he said and sent the message to other people. And it got spread by others. And others. And others.
Bakugou looked around at all the laughing people confused. Before he gave a small smile and chuckled a little.
"I guess it was a bit funny" he said and he started laughing as well.
"See, now your having fun!" Uraraka said as she stood. Bakugou shook his head as a small blush appeared on his face. "I guess I am" he said. "But, I won't give up just yet" Uraraka said as she got into a stance. Bakugou looked at her with a smirk. She ran at him with all she had. Even though her body yelled at her to stop. She continued. She threw a punch and Bakugou dodged before shooting an explosion at her.
She flew backwards and landed outside the arena with a thud. "Uraraka is out, Bakugou wins!!" Midnight announced after trying to catch her breath from laughing too hard.
Uraraka lied on her back as recovery bots came and took her away.
This is good. Because I didn't forget to smile.
