Chapter : 59 To you, the incarnation of Power.

Stones.

[3rd POV]

A stunning sparkle of green lightning flashed across the arena and it reached its opponent faster than one could draw a breath.

Midoriya used 10% All for One as he charged at Bakugo with no hesitation. He was not holding back, he was not worthy of holding back against Bakugo. He had no right.

In response to the assault, Bakugo`s body exploded in golden glory. An explosion took place as they collide.

Scattering green met scorching gold.

*Boom!!!*

Thick smoke and dust came to life, Midoriya - still covered in green lightning - came out from the smoke.

He held his right hand that was burned and he crouched down like a leopard ready to pounce.

Bakugo waved his hand on his face to clear away the smoke. His right palm was leaking out smoke and a wider smile than before was plastered on his face as he looked across the arena and saw Midoriya.

"Haha!! Don`t tell me your attack plan ends there." He said, his voice was taunting but that was just his normal voice.

He was holding back, definitely. In fact he had never went full power though this whole competition.

It would`ve bored him to death had it not been his unusual liking towards beating up people.

Midoriya stood straight, fixed his posture and firmly planted his feet on the ground. The ground cracked under his feet and green lightning came to life, filling his muscles and tendons with strength.

Bakugo also let his power flow through his body, he decided to be more reliant on it than his usual flashy explosions.

They shot at each other, no warning, no hesitation. Then the fight began.

It was an exchange of fists. Bakugo and Midoriya had trained in the same dojo and this was not the first time they had fought, yet their current fight was on another level.

*boom!!*

*boom!!*

*boom!!*

Bakugo had his monstrous instinct and Midoriya had his genius battle iq. One could feel attacks coming even before they did while the other could predict attacks.

Bakugo used small explosions to boost his strength and Midoriya had a rough time keeping up with it.

Midoriya ducked under Bakugo`s hook by an inch, he sprung up and tried to counter with an uppercut but his fist made no contact.

Then a fist came flying straight at him, he tilted his head and the hand moved past him.

But the hand didn`t pull back, Midoriya thought it was a chance and tried to throw a counter jab but the hand exploded. It was right at his ear.

For a moment, he can`t think. His ear was ringing.

Then Bakugo hit him in his stomach and knocked out his breath. Midoriya felt like his internal organs were rearranged.

Another punch hit Midoriya on his chin and in his dizzy mind, he did all its best to retreat immediately.

Bakugo followed.

The ground was blown apart time and time again. The derbis from the fight erupted out but a shield protected all the audience.

Midoriya was barely hanging on.

'I can`t win.' Midoriya thought instantly when he got his sense back.

Even only in his genius mind, he never found a way to win.

It was impossible.

'I can`t win.'

'But I can fight.' He grit his teeth.

'I will fight. I will keep on fighting. In order to meet the expectation of All Might and everyone close to me!!!'

He was not about to give up. Not again. Not ever.

He needa to show everyone. He needs to show Bakugo how far he had come.

Suddenly the lightning around Midoriya`s body intensified. Now they were roaring with unadulterated strength.

"One for All : 100%"

His body ached. They screamed 'I am not ready. It's too much!!'

Midoriya ignored them but then his body tried to force him down with excruciating pain. Full Cowling 100% was too much.

Under all that pain, an ugly thought peeked it's head.

It's not his quirk, it's not his power. It's only borrowed strength.

'I know. But one day I will make it mine!!! I will make sure All Might did not choose the wrong person!!'

Now he was free from all shackles. He moved at a speed far too quick.

Not expecting a sudden increase power, Bakugo gave an opening, an opening Midoriya made sure to take.

He hit him right where it hurts, his face.

*BOOM!!*

The concrete ground could not hold against such attack so it gave up to the force and crumbled.

Bakugo flew away like cannon but even before he stopped Midoriya was already behind him.

He hit him again and Bakugo`s body changed direction.

The same thing happened two more times. It sounded like a consecutive explosion to the audience, all happening under a second.

Then Midoriya positioned himself, he got ready to hit Bakugo`s body which came flying towards him but bakugo suddenly turned around and faced him.

He was not happy.

"You!!!" Bakugo screamed as he threw his hand which erupted in explosion.

Midoriya smiled and bared the full power of the attack.

'It hurts.'

Bakugo`s eye widened when he saw Midoriya still standing with a bleeding and messed up body.

He tried to block the incoming punch but...it never came.

Then he realized, Midoriya could also kick.

'This is everything I have!!!' Midoriya launch his leg out, green lightning crackle encase his leg as it gave disastrous power.

'I have always wanted to catch up to you, the incarnation of Power in my eyes. I know I am still too weak but this is everything I can do at this moment.'

It was like a letter written in the language of body and violence. Everything he had achieved so far, everything he had overcome, he was determined to tell them all to Bakugo through this one attack.

The air quaked and the ground rumbled as the kick moved closer.

"Detroit SMASH!!!"

The air was still.

Then it wailed.

The platform was spit in half and a calamity struck.

'To you, the incarnation of Power. This is everything I got.'

*BOOOOOOM!!!!*

[MC POV]

You know what, getting kicked in the face hurts.

Like really badly. Who would`ve thought.

He did not hold back did he.

"Fucking crybaby." I mumbled as I got up and dust myself off. My handsome face feels like shit.

I swear to god if my charm decreases because of this there will be a funeral.

Damn it, It is always the easiest to cry who hit the hardest while playing.

Yes I am talking to you, the younger brothers all over the world. If you can hear me stop whatever you are doing and apologize to your older brother right now.

Chances are, you have wronged him more than you can count. If you are such a crybaby why do you hit me with full strength? It hurts for them too. And you cry immediately at 10% of their sttrength.

"Gah!!" I shook my head to disperse the weird thoughts in my head. I didn`t even have a sibling in this world, what`s wrong with me? Was the hit to my head more lethal than I thought?

With a head a little clearer I looked around and thankfully I was still inside the platform even though it was in five parts. Meanwhile...

"MIDORIYA IS OUT OF BOUND. BAKUGO WINS!!!"

The crowd was cheering again but everything just sounded muffled. Getting hit in the head with 100% OFA was no joke.

"Huh?" I felt a liquid leak out from my nose. It was small but I could feel it.

I brought my hand up and touched it. It was wet..

"All that for a drop of blood huh?"

.

.

.

.

I brought down my hand and looked at it.

"Just kidding. That was not enough to make me bleed." I said with a smile as I saw the liquid in my hand. It was transparent.

It was just my snot.

The upper part of my cloth was already torn so I ripped it off completly and wiped my hand with it.

Then medic instantly came to Midoriya whose body was broken and bleeding. A huge contrast to my body which was only dirty.

He did well, he has grown so much since the day I adopted him as my friend. He was way superior than his canon counterpart.

I am proud. It feels weird to be proud because of someone else but that's how I feel.

The medic then put Midoriya in a stretcher and took him away.

'Well if that`s it. I am leaving.'

I walked out of the arena and entered the hallway. The crowd`s cheer became sofer and softer as I go.

But that did not work for the peace of my mind as I saw a certain someone with hot temper and fire type quirk.

I will kill anyone who says we are similar.

It was Endeavour, the No.2 hero. I can already guess why he was here, I am going to fight his son in the final afterall.

I reached him but I did not allow down my pace.

"Can I talk to you for a few seconds." He said when I reached him. I did not answer as I walked passed him.

"Hey." His voice contained heat, "You-"

I threw the piece of cloth (my snot) in my hand at his face.

"Not interested."

Evil chuckles left my throat when I saw the cloth right at his face.

Ew...

And he did not like that.

Not one bit.

I felt his hand on my shoulder. His grip sink onto my muscle, it almost hurts.

"You better listen when adults are talking kid." He said with venom in his voice.

Now how should I deal with this.
