Chapter 26

TITLE: Sports festival (6) – Finals

"It's finally time for the finals and we have, the ever dominating Sora Menhera

against the persevering Izuku Midoriya, who will win? LET'S GO!!"

Sora had a bored look on his face while Izuku took a fighting stance, a serious

look on his face.

"BEGIN!!!"

"One for all: full cowling 10%"

Immediately Izuku charged at him while thinking 'Sora is both a long range

and short range fighter and is very unpredictable. I don't know how am going

to do this, I can only brute force my way through it, let's go'

Arriving before Sora, he clenched his fist before throwing his fist at Sora's gut,

who dodged by bending his body. Izuku tried to shift his body and attack again

but he had to spin in the air just to avoid Sora's punch, the force of it caused a

small sized crater on the ground.

Izuku was able to avoid by spinning but he grazed himself as he rolled away on

the ground.

WHOOSH

Sora immediately lunged himself at Izuku as he created two huge gloves on his

hand then punched him. Though Izuku tried to dodge, he couldn't completely

avoid the attack thus he was thrown away.

Stopping himself a few meters away from the stage's edge, Izuku had a

surprised look on his face as he recalled what had just happened. His mind

racing at an unimaginable speed as he thought 'that attack, I wasn't able to

avoid it, does it mean all his creations or air-based attacks are invisible?'

Bam… Bam… Bam

Izuku groaned as he realized three holes on his shirt. He looked at Sora and

noticed the gun shape his hand was making, he could easily deduce Sora had shot him with air balls or something of the sorts but he couldn't think of the

matter as he felt himself being hit on the leg. Immediately, Izuku began

maneuvering about the field as he tried to avoid the Sora's attacks which were

practically invisible.

Sora seeing this, stopped shooting as he watched Izuku who was completely

unaware he had stopped.

Whoosshhhhh… Sora bent his head and avoided Izuku's kick. Sora was lightly

surprised by his speed but he didn't dwell on it for long as he tried punching

Izuku.

Bam! Bam!

Izuku was thrown a few meters back but when he stood up with his purple hand, he had a smile present on his face, reason being that he had successfully landed a

hit on Sora.

What happened?

At the instance when Sora was about to punch Izuku, Izuku went OFA 100%

and his speed increased greatly, Sora's brain wasn't able to react quickly to the

attack and thus created a low level shield thus Izuku's attack was able to pass

through it and hit Sora, though it didn't cause much damage.

Sora was baffled, he couldn't remember the last time someone had landed a

hit on him, each time it was the same routine but today things were different,

the pawn Izuku Midoriya, the guy he had underestimated the most had

landed a hit on him, he couldn't help but smile as he thought 'this might be

interesting'

Whoosh, Sora vanished. Izuku who was watching him the whole time was

surprised but sirens almost busted his head open as his mind warned him

of eminent danger. Instinctively, he rolled over to the right and was able to

dodge a punch from Sora which caused a huge crater.

"Phew" Izuku heaved a sigh of relief, if he hadn't moved at that instance

maybe the match would have been finished by now but he soon gulped as he looked at Sora. His former bored expression was replaced by a serious one, his

lazy posture had turned into one of action. Everything around him had

changed, it was clear he was taking the match seriously.

"Give me your best shot Izuku" Sora said as he took a stance.

Izuku had a wide smile on his face, for many years he had been seeking Sora's

approval and this statement meant Sora finally took him seriously, he was very

glad but he had to suppress his joy as now he was in for the hardest fight of

his life. He knew Sora more than anyone and he had hardly seen him get

serious but when he did…

Izuku took a stance and as though a signal had been given they both lunged at

each other, marking the beginning of the exchange. They began trading

punches and kicks, though Sora was clearly the one dominating as each of

Izuku's attacks were either dodged or blocked by an invisible shield, Izuku

could try landing hits as he received Sora's strikes, each more painful than the

next.

Having grown tired of being on the losing end, Izuku took multiple steps back

before buffing himself up, OFA: full cowling 100% his whole body ached but

he endured the pain, Sora seeing this smiled, he took a GAW stance as he

prepared to use one of the styles he had been working on but now, he got the

inspiration he needed

"Let's do this!" Izuku shouted before he charged at Sora who did the same.

Midnight seeing the rising energy shouted "Cementos again"

Immediately he raised as many pillars as he could, i.e. 10 before

Whoooossshhhhh

"DETRIOT SMASH"

"GAW 6th form: Dynamic entry"

BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM

The collision destroyed the pillars and almost threw the crowd away but

something blocked the impact, while it created a dust screen in the field.

A few minutes later, the dust cleared and everyone saw the winner, he had

brown-… yeah, it was Sora, his dress with a few scratches, a stoic expression on

his face as he looked at his opponent, his body on the wall, his shirt no where to

be seen exposing his pacts (if he had any), his eyes closed thus one can easily

assume he was unconscious.

"…S-SO…RA MENHERA WINS!!!!"

It took president Mic a few seconds before announcing the result which he

stuttered.

There was silence in the stadium but soon cheers rained as Sora fist pumped

the air. Everyone stood up and clapped just to show how they enjoyed the

match

"SORA! SORA! SORA!"

Sora sighed before bringing his hand down, an unnoticeable smile on his face

as he headed out of the stage.

.

Few moments later,

On three different podium stood 3 boys, on one was written 3 and it was on

the left, on another 2 was written placed on the right while in the middle was

the podium with 1 written on it. On These 3 podiums were Bakugo, Izuku and

Sora respectively.

Unlike in the canon, Bakugo wasn't chained, heck he had a slightly sad look on

his face but it was mostly a pissed off one, Izuku had a frustrated look on as he

looked at the ground while Sora had his usual bored look on.

"Now for the awards" Midnight said as she welcomed all might, who

first headed to Bakugo.

"Young Bakugo, you showed great prowess in battle and even though you were

unable to win your fight, you should be proud of yourself, many have learned

from you today"

He said before placing the bronze medal on his neck

"Tch" Bakugo bit his lip as he looked away

"Young Midoriya, you did great! Your fight in the final was filled with

ingenuity and at each instance, your valor and courage has surely inspired

many to always try their best. Don't be ashamed and stand strong with a

smile!"

He handed Izuku, the silver medal.

"Thanks all might" Izuku smiled brightly, he tried his best and even though he

had lost, he really tried.

"Young Sora, it is clear throughout this competition, you were outstanding!

Your strategies, your attacks everything you did was out of this world. You

showed the world what it means to be a future pro and you're on your way to

becoming a great one yourself"

He hanged the gold medal on Sora's neck and the crowd followed him behind

as massive cheers erupted in the crowd.

Sora smiled as he looked into the crowd, his gaze on his family and them

seeing their son's smile, smiled widely

"Our Sora is growing up"

"He sure is"

How ironic… anyway, with that the sports festival came to an end, with Sora

Menhera crowned champion.

And that's it, wow

Damn, I tried my best with this and I have to say, this fight was pretty cool, I

feel proud of myself as an author as I really tried my best when writing this

chapter, I hope you'll enjoy it just as I did when I wrote it.

Anyway, let's move on to the main business. Which should be his hero name?

1. Ace

2. Cyclone

3. Storm

Thanks for the suggestion.
