"Anyhow, this is truly getting interesting, what with the pair-ups so far!" 

"Indeed, upupu! But it's about to be more heated, as we look at the next person set to take out the straw, Himeno Ayame! Partner to the great Hyakkihime, what kind of plays will this bishoujo show us?!" 

"Don't get carried away!" she yelled before walking over and pulling another straw out, "Erm, Shokubutsu Hanmo?" 

"Chlorokinesis is finally out of the waiting list! Will Ayame be able to brave the circumstances and get her target?" 

"May we have a good fight." 

"Likewise." 

They shook hands there, and Yuujin smiled. He enjoyed seeing people bond. 

"Moving on, we have our own Arihoshi Akinori! Youki user and esteemed member of the Arihoshi clan!" 

He gulped as he picked his own straw, and nervously read it, "Sōsa Mizu." 

"Interesting! Water against Youki! What kind of fight can we expect from them!?" 

"I hope for a fair fight with you, Akinori-kun!" 

"I hope for the same. Please treat me well," he answered while bowing in respect towards his senior.

"Let's not get hung over this! We need to check out the rest, like Amano Keisuke! Fellow Eyecon Sword holder, and amazing at drawing! Let's see who he'll get!" 

"I don't expect anything good," he sweatdropped, but took another straw out, "Tamashiro- Wait oh no..." 

"FINALLY!" Tamashiro's eyes were alit with fire. 

"Good luck, Kei-chan," Kenji patted his back. 

"Can someone call Dukun for me and say that I might come back with a million bite marks?" 

The group blinked, but they chuckled. It was still kinda funny.

"This is quite the match-up! Wonder who the next contender, our very own Kusanagi Yui, daughter of Epimetheus, will get!" 

"Do your best," Terumi gently smiled at her, and she smiled back before she took one of them, checking out the name. 

Then she walked over to Akinori and said, "We gotta support each other cause I have another Water Quirk." 

He hugged her, asking, "Who is it?" 

"Itzahaku Tokabashi," she replied while showing her own straw.

"Indeed, this is quite the predicament. She got Itzahaku Tokabashi!" 

"Don't hold back," Tokabashi told her without missing a beat.

"I'll try not to," she shook the other's hand.

"Anyhow, we only have three left! But let's go with Young first! Eve to Tsubaki, the Servamp of Melancholy~! I wonder how his fight will go!" 

"Beom-ah, don't be so stiff," he teased his boyfriend, who scoffed before the red-haired male walked over and took out one, leaving two inside. He then squinted slightly to read the name, "Ah, erm, James Claire?" 

"James Blair," he corrected, getting up to formally greet his opponent with a hand shake. "Don't worry, it's normal to have people who misspell my name." 

"I'll keep that in mind," he smiled, taking his hand. 

"And it just get heated! Up against someone with the Fae Quirk, how will he fare!?" 

"I do hope he gets through," Fuuko frowned. 

"He'll make it," Uju smiled. "I'm sure he will." 

"Upupu! And now we have two straws left as Beom and Terumi come out to take theirs! Beom with his analytical prowess and some brawns, and Terumi with his hissatsus and charm! Who will they get?!" 

Beom sighed and squatted slightly to take a good look at the two straws, then took out one after quite a long time, reading it aloud for everyone to hear, "Gensui Rōzu." 

"Then I suppose I have the last one," Terumi took the last one, and smiled, "Kontorou Kanjo." 

"You seem like a good fighter, so I expect the best you can give," Rōzu crossed her arms at him.

Beom ran his hand through his hair, and said, "Likewise. I won't hold back." 

"I hope to learn from you," Kanjo bowed at Terumi.

"Just do your best, and it'll be fine," he smiled back. 

"Well, this is quite the scene! But now we have finished up the first half of picking! Now it's time for Class 1A to pick who they're going to chase!" 

"I am so not looking forward to this," Nanao deadpanned.
