Lap pillow

Two lights clashed with each other, causing everyone to be blinded.

"My eyes!"

"Ah, the light is too intense!"

Everyone covered their eyes subconsciously, but for Momo and Bakugou, it was impossible for them to stop.

Momo quickly made several walls to block Bakugou's explosion, and Bakugou also flew off into the sky, trying to avoid a confrontation with Momo until his eyes felt better.

Bakugou knew that his stun grenade might not be able to do anything to Momo since she was wearing sunglasses, but the impact was enough to give him time to recover.

Yet suddenly, he could hear a strange sound like a propeller, and when he recovered, he saw that several drones had surrounded him.

When Bakugou was in the sky, Momo created drones to catch after him, and naturally, these drones were moving on their own, automatically, and they were all following Bakugou's movement. She didn't intend to create those drones to attack Bakugou, but they were all used to harass him.

"Damn!"

Bakugou crossed his eyes when an intense light came from the drones.

Those drones might not have a weapon, but they were all equipped with an intense light, which was enough to close their eyes subconsciously.

"Ponytail!"

*BOOOOOOOOMMM!*

Bakugou released his explosion and busted the drones in his surroundings, destroying them into ruin.

Momo didn't feel anything when her drones were destroyed into pieces. Instead, she entered the next stage of her plan. When Bakugou was blinded by the intense light, it gave her time to create something, and this time, she created a giant canon once again.

In the waiting room, Mineta shook his head and thought that Bakugou might lose since he must admit that Momo's "Quirk" was quite overpowered. The only limitation of her ability was, without a doubt, her hesitation, inexperience, and her love for a close-range weapon and large canon, which made him speechless.

If he hadn't helped her before, she might still have fixed it by making a shield, sword, or lance, but she was different now and became one of the strongest in Class 1-A.

"It seems that she is going to win," Ibara said.

"It seems."

"Didn't you root for the one with the explosion?"

"Not really. I only want to fight with the strongest. If he loses, then that's it."

"So you're close with Yaoyorozu-san?"

"......"

Mineta looked at Ibara, who was looking at him with a smile. He wondered why this smile felt weird for some reason.

---

*BOOOOOM!*

Momo didn't hesitate and shot her cannon.

Unlike a ball of explosions, the ammunition she used for her cannon was a Nitinol Alloy Capturing Weapon. The ball, which was shot by the canon, suddenly spread out and was ready to catch Bakugou in place.

Bakugou saw all of this, and the thought of losing crossed his mind.

"There is no way that I will lose in this place!"

He released another explosion, which was more intense, blasting the Capturing Weapon away.

However, Momo didn't panic and kept shooting the cannon with various ammunition from sticky type, tear gas type, and many others, calmly and precisely, but Bakugou, as if he had another eye, could dodge and block Momo's attack with his explosion.

The fight between the two was intense.

Even though the scale of their fight wasn't as big as Ibara and Mineta, they weren't that much different.

Momo used her wit, creating one gadget after another, trying to take down Bakugou.

Bakugou also used his battle instinct and explosion, trying to seek a chance to defeat Momo.

The two kept thinking about how to get close to their victory.

'There's no way he can keep that explosion forever and stay in the sky all the time.'

Momo knew that every "Quirk" had a limitation. Mineta was the same, but Mineta was on another level. Bakugou wasn't Mineta, and she knew that Bakugou was almost on his limit.

When Bakugou was in the sky, she had spread the trap on the ground, and as long as Bakugou landed, the victory of this match was her.

'There's no way she can keep creating so many things.'

Bakugou knew that Momo had a limit, yet before she reached her limit, he was afraid he might be the one that might reach the limit first. He looked down and knew that as long as he stepped down, he would be the one who lost.

"You really surprised me, Ponytail!"

He had always thought that Mineta had always been his opponent, but it seemed he was wrong. He wasn't strong enough to look down on everyone in this place, so he was going to give his all.

"So I will give you my all!"

He didn't plan to use this move on Momo, but the situation forced him, so he was going to use his all!

Momo didn't answer and kept focusing on winning this match.

Bakugou roared into the air and created two explosions in his hands. While in the air, he spun himself around, building up momentum as he moved in Momo's direction.

"!!!"

Momo hurriedly created a giant wall to protect himself, but Bakugou had already gathered the momentum of his move and fired an explosive tornado at herself!

"Howitzer Impact!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!*

The intense explosion covered the entire stage.

Bakugou stood on the ground as he breathed heavily.

On the other hand, Momo was thrown off the stage as she passed out.

"The winner is Katsuki Bakugou!"

"ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!"

Bakugou roared since this victory was different from before. This was a victory that made him feel relieved and happy. He looked at his arms and hands, which were shaking from his explosions, before clenching them with all of his might since there was one more opponent he had to fight.

---

Mineta watched this match indifferently since he had expected this result. He sighed, but he didn't intend to walk to Momo. It wasn't that he didn't think to console her, but she passed out, so it might take a while for her to wake up. Instead, it might be better to visit her after the final.

"It will be your match soon."

"Oh."

"You're not going to prepare."

"I am preparing."

He moved his body to the side, facing her tummy and the side of his face pressed by her underboobs. He had to say it felt nice and comfortable.

"Geez, is this how you prepare?"

However, Ibara didn't force him to get up and only caressed his head gently.

Still, he wondered what he should do with Bakugou since this guy had hurt two women that he was familiar with.

---

Unlike Momo, who passed out, Bakugou walked on his own, but as expected, the previous fight took a toll on his body. His arms and shoulders were shaking since whenever he released an explosion, it would also cause an impact on his body. He didn't intend to go back to the audience area. Instead, he was going to rest in the waiting room.

The faster he rested, the better it was.

Similar to Momo, Bakugou knew that his next opponent wasn't someone that he could look down upon. He had to get serious, but suddenly he fell into doubt.

Could he win?

His condition was far from good, and all his moves were seen.

On the other hand, he was 100% sure that Mineta's condition was as good as ever, and he also couldn't think of a countermeasure to handle substance, which spread everywhere like a river. His head and body fell heavy, thinking of the countermeasure.

He stopped at the waiting room and opened it, but he was dumbfounded when he saw Minta lying on the lap of his girlfriend.

"........"
