Chapter 19

So that I'm not wasting a lot of time writing them out, I will not be describing all of the battles in detail, only the important ones (Midoriya vs. Shinsou, Bakugo vs. Uraraka, Midoriya vs. Todoroki. Bakugo vs. Todoroki will not be described in too much detail though) And even then they'll just be shot summaries. The only matches that will be very in detail will be ones Akina is participating in.

During the recreational games, Akina was sitting in the trees just outside the stadium, munching on some of the leaves. She wanted to be at full power during the tournaments.

As she was sitting in a tree a familiar scent hit her nose and she looked down towards the ground, seeing a crouching Todoroki who seemed lost in thought. Shifting her body Akina swung upside down, hooking her legs around the tree branch she was on to made sure she wouldn't fall to the ground. At the noise the duel haired boy looking up and meeting her gaze. Akina just hung there, munching on leaves.

"What are you doing?" Todoroki asked.

"Eating school property." Akina said casually, putting another leaf in her mouth.

"You're eating... leaves?"

Akina nodded, "It's what gives me my power. If I eat anything that grows naturally in nature it gives me more strength."

"Why are you telling me this, I might have to use it against you in the tournament." He said, looking up at her blandly.

Akina flipped herself around and landed on the ground, crouching in front of the boy. "Well, you can't take away something I've eaten. Besides, I already have enough magi- energy stored up." Straightening up, Akina looked down at him with a wide smile on his face. "Along with that we both have to make sure we get far enough into the tournament to fight against each other."

Todoroki was quiet, and Akina turned around and started to walk away, stopping when she heard her name called.

"Hayashi. Why are you acting like you already know everything about being a hero?"

Akina looked over her shoulder, a carefree grin on her face. "Because I speak from experience." She said vaguely before continuing to walk away, leaving Todoroki to stare after her with a harsh look.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

The recreational games had ended and Akina had moved to where he class would be sitting while the tournaments were going on. The stage had just been created thanks to Cementoss, and Present Mic was announcing the first two competitors. Midoriya and the teen from General Studies, Shinsou.

Right after Present Mic announced how somebody could win, either by pushing them out of bounds, immobilizing them, or even just having them say that they give up, the battle between the two started.

Shinsou was talking to Midoriya down at the stage, but with the distance as well as the chatter around her, she wasn't able to hear exactly what they were saying. Though it was obvious that Shinsou was trying to provoke Midoriya, by the dark look on his face and the mixture of determination, surprise, and anger on Midoriya's face.

In the end, Shinsou succeeded in provoking Midoriya, because Akina watched as he ran towards the purple haired teen, starting to shout out. Though the next thing that happened didn't proceeded as expected; Midoriya had stopped in his tracks.

"I went through the trouble of warning him too!" Ojiro exclaimed, placing his hands on his head.

"What do you mean by that?" Akina asked, turning in her seat to look at the tailed teen.

"That Shinsou guy. He has some sort of Mind Control quirk. Activated when someone responds." Ojiro explained.

Akina looked from Ojiro to the stage. "If it's Mind Control... then maybe..." Standing up and leaning on the railing, she gritted her teeth. "Midoriya! Snap out of it!" She shouted, feeling the eyes of both students and heroes on her. Nothing happened, except that Midoriya had started to walk out of the platform's boundaries. Tightening her grip, she took a deep breath. Sure, she didn't know too much about the green haired boy, but he was still part of her family, and this was a competition.

Just as Midoriya was about to step out of bounds, a gust of wind blew past Akina, Midoriya now standing still just before the boundary line.

"He did it." Akina muttered, "He did it!" She repeated, joining in with the cheers that were being carried throughout the stadium, this time jumping up and smiling, her eyes shining down as she watched Midoriya push Shinsou out of bounds, winning the match and continuing on in the tournament.

The next match was between Todoroki and Sero— Todoroki being the one to win the match just by his overwhelming amount of power he held. Of course, Akina did think that using as much power as he did was necessary— practically freezing Sero in a glacier that towered beyond the opening of the stadium.

Of course... I think Gray would of done the same thing. She thought, letting out a sigh.

Next up was Ibara against Kaminari, Ibara winning by protecting herself against Kaminari's lightning and then trapping him in vines and holding him above the groun, of course this happened after he boasted that he would of settle the battle quickly and trying to flirt with her.

"What's that? Didn't he say he'd settle this in a second?" Someone asked, and Akina looked over towards the wall separating her class and Class 1-B to see Monoma looking over with a snide look on his face. "That's strange, he was defeated in a second, wasn't he? Class A is supposed to be better than Class B, so isn't that weird?" Akina watched as he was hit on the back of the neck by a ginger haired girl.

"Sorry!" She said before walking away from the wall.

"That was some... friendly competition." Akina muttered, staring at the spot where Monoma just was. But is it bad that I could see Natsu and Lucy in a similar situation? She thought, ignoring the muttering from Midoriya behind her.

Iida and the support course Hatume Mei, which ended up just being a ten minute advertisement for her creations, using poor Iida as a lab rat to use them on, eventually she stepped out of bounds allowing Iida to pass onto the next round.

"Hey, Mina. Good luck!" Akina said, giving the pinkette an encouraging thumbs up. She's against Tokoyami if I'm correct. But I'm right after her, against Momo. She stood up and stretched, heading to the waiting room so she could prepare herself for her match.

"I just gotta remember that she's not a wizard and that her probably body can't handle going through a wall or two." She said to herself. Once she got into her waiting room, Akina watched Mina's fight on the screen. She was sliding around on her acid avoiding all of Dark Shadow's attacks, and finally making her way to Tokoyami and pushing him out of bounds. "Hm, so if I win this round, I'll be going up against Mina." Feeling a smile creep up onto her face, excitement filled her chest. "I'd better not loose than."

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"In this next battle, we have an all knowing creator who was admitted through recommendations, so her abilities are certified from the hero course: Yaoyorozu Momo! Vs. A foreign girl with spunk and the power of nature, from the hero course: Hayashi Akina!" Present Mic introduced.

Knowing her, she'll create something that involves fire to wipe out my vines. But she has only seen my basic nature manipulation as well as Bursting blossom. A smile made it's way to Akina's face, determination burning in her eyes. So if I can get her out of bounds before she can create something, this battle will be done quickly.

"Sixth match, start!" Present Mic shouted.

As the words left his mouth, Akina watched as Momo's skin started to glow. Taking her chance, Akina started running towards Momo, pulling her fist back and feeling it meet with a sturdy sheet of metal as she moved to lunch Momo. Reeling back, she gritted her teeth and saw that Momo had created a shield to protect from her attack.

Jumping back, Akina spread her arms out wide while still in the air. "Nature Dragon: Wing Attack!" She chanted, slicing her arms through the air and watching as beams of green magic energy made their way towards Momo, pelting the shield and sending the girl back a few steps, cheers erupting throughout the stadium.

"What an attack from Hayashi!" Present Mic shouted.

Running up, a magic circle appeared at Akina's hands, and traveled up to her elbows, the skin that had been passed over by the circle turning into a tough wood. Reeling her hand back, she started to pelt the shield with punches, making sure to hold back a bit as to not send the girl flying through a few walls. One after another after another, each blow causing Momo to stumble back a few steps, but Akina made sure that none of them strong enough the break through the shield Momo had created.

Once she had forced Momo over the boundary line, she jumped back, watching as the black haired girl— who hadn't yet realized she had just been pushed out of bounds, summoned a staff of wood.

"Yaoyorozu!" Midnight exclaimed, "You're out of bounds! Hayashi moves onto the next round!"

A smile appeared at Akina's face and she walked up to the shell-shocked girl. "No hard feelings?" She asked, holding her now back to normal hand out in a gesture of friendship.

"Yeah, no hard feelings. You did what you had to in order to win. But I promise the next time we're against each other, I'll win for sure!" Momo exclaimed, determination burning in her eyes.

"I look forwards to it, Momo."
