Chapter 21: UA Sports Festival (END)... [edited]
[POV Reo]
I noticed that Todoroki was also moving like how Izuku was moving during his match. He must have noticed Izuku's movements during the match and copied them. Well again, it was nice much better than what Izuku did, because if I want to catch Todoroki when he lands he could just use his ice to block the sand.
No matter, I started to surround him slowly as I did with Izuku. Todoroki was becoming more and more frantic with each passing second. He also noticed that the sand was starting to surround him from all sides. As a desperate move, Todoroki made a huge dome around him to protect himself.
I have to say that this ice is much harder and denser than those he had made before, but it wasn't enough to stop me. I made several spikes of metal sand and launched them towards the ice dome. Those spikes turned into drill bits and started to rotate and soon the whole dome started to crack but before I reached the inside, a sea of flames erupted from inside the ice dome.
[With the Pro-Heroes]
'Finally, he accepted his power, now show everyone that you are the strongest!!' Endeavor exclaimed in his mind. He was really excited to see that his son had finally accepted his strongest side (according to him).
[Back in the Arena]
I saw Todoroki walk out of the sea of flames without any injuries.
"So you finally accepted your other side... good for you" I told him but Todoroki's face still remained indifferent.
Again I gather my metal sand and attacked Todoroki, but this time it clashed with a sea of flames. This time the flames were many times hotter than the previous one. I backed away slightly due to the immense heat. I have to say, this heat is too much for me.
He looked at the metal sand which I used to attack him which had now completely melted down. I just waited to see what he was going to do... I really wanted to see it.
He didn't let me down and attacked me with his ice. But the attack wasn't for me. The attack hit the molten metal which immediately released a huge amount of steam covering the whole arena. Damn... I already knew where Todoroki was because of the iron in his body. He seemed to be just waiting for the fog to clear, but isn't that stupid? He could have attacked me already.
The fog cleared and I saw Todoroki was now standing over a huge chunk of solid metal. Ooo... so he did all this so that he could take away my sand? Really a good plan... but it would only work of I hadn't mastered Metal Morphing.
"What will you do now?" Todoroki asked me with a smug expression on his face.
"Just this" This time I raised both of my hands and Todoroki's feet were grabbed by metal sand which I got from the chunk of metal. Soon the whole chunk was reverted back to metal sand. Todoroki was too shocked to even react, I used this chance to move his hands towards his own body using the metal sand. Now, if Todoroki wanted to use his power, he was going to hurt himself.
"Surrender, you can't fight any longer" I told him but it seems to have a different effect on him. He didn't try to escape like the others but kept his mouth closed. Fine... stubborn emo...
I tightened the metal sand around him successfully slowing down his blood flow, this time he tried to escape the binds. After a few seconds he passed out and my metal sand moved away from him leaving him unconscious in the arena.
"Shoto Todoroki is unable to fight any longer! Itsuki Reo is the winner!" Midnight announced as the crowd grew louder and louder.
While I was walking towards the stands, I was stopped by a certain red-haired Hero. What do fuck he wants with me? This ain't a cultivation world chump so it is highly unlikely that he came to attack me to get revenge for his son... but I still decided to be vigilant and the metal sand started to come towards me slowly.
Both of us did nothing and kept glaring at each other. "Thank you" Endeavor grunted out and walked away. Did he think that I made his son use his other side? He isn't wrong but I didn't do it knowingly. His son used it because otherwise he would be screwed... well whatever. While thinking these stuff I finally reached the stands. Ibara and Todoroki's fight had already started.
I sat beside Momo and everyone around us congratulated me for entering the finals. This fight was much quicker than compared to mine, I still remembered what Bakugo said and a flash of coldness spread across my face for a second before going away. I will crush him...
The match was over with Bakugo's win. After a short break both of us were told to head to the arena for the finals by Midnight.
"And now the for the finals of the third round! Itsuki Reo VS Katsuki Bakugo" Midnight yelled into the mic, I saw her eyes were completely fixed on me while see was announcing. She kept watching me while licking her lips seductively... wow, I must have really impressed her.
"Are you two ready?" Midnight asked us and my attention again moved towards Bakugo and I nodded my head. Bakugo also did that same, "Then START!!" with that the fight had officially begun.
Before Bakugo could rush towards me, my metal sand rushed towards him, Bakugo dodged my metal sand by using his explosions to propel himself. But I didn't give up... I was relentless and continued doing the same thing. The metal sand finally wrapped around his legs and before he could even do anything, his hands were also wrapped around by the metal sand.
The metal sphere formed two spheres around his hand, stopping him from creating explosions. As soon as I did that, the metal sand was completely retracted from him. Bakugo looked towards his hands and used his Quirk... he tried to get off the metal sand by explosions but it didn't work out like he had planned, as the metal kept sticking around his hand.
"Are you mocking me aga-" Bakugo started to yell but was cut off when a right hook made solid contact with his gut... Bakugo crouched down and emptied whatever food he ate in the morning on the floor. I looked down at Bakugo coldly and raised up my foot and a powerful kick landed on his chest. Bakugo flew away by several meters and landed on his back and he started to whimper.
"This is what happens if I try to seriously fight you" I said in clear disdain. I wasn't a fighter but I was strong enough to beat the shit out of Bakugo. After a couple of minutes, he was finally able to pull himself up from the ground... his face was filled with complete hatred, slowly, I started to walk towards him, as soon as I reached him, he swung his right hand towards me which was still covered by my metal sand, I simply leaned back and his hand passed by my head.
I retaliated with a left hook, followed by a right uppercut... this made him spit out blood but I didn't stop and kicked towards his left kidney. As soon as my kick landed, Bakugo spat out another mouthful of blood and dropped on the ground.
"You are nothing but a pathetic weakling who only knows how to bully weak people, now see what you are truly worth of" my words were completely calm.
The crowd didn't mind the display neither did the heroes, so is it common or they didn't react because they didn't seem to hear what I was saying.
"You were shouting about how I am a coward hiding a wall not fighting back and now when I start to somewhat seriously use my power you end up on the floor" I said loud enough so that only Bakugo could clearly hear me.
"You are just a weakling!" he tried to get up again but I slapped him down with my foot. "Stop dreaming about being the strongest because you would never pass me... and that is a fact weakling!" the metal sand morphed into metal strips and I started to wrap them around his hands and feet. After I was done wrapping him, I finally dropped him outside the arena.
I don't want to bully a weakling any longer.
"Ka-Katsuki B-Bakugo is out of the bounds! Itsuki Reo is the winner!" Midnight announced, I looked at her and her face was blooming with a huge smile and she was also clutching her thighs together. Looks like she is into both S & M.
As soon as Midnight finished the announcement the crowd erupted in another cheer. The crowd kept getting louder and louder. As I kept walking I heard the thunderous crowd and their cheers, some of them were even shouting my name to praise me for winning the first place. I was back in my usual happy personality and waved towards the whole crowd. I was really happy that they appreciated my win. I was also happy that my parents would be proud of me.
[With Reo's Parents]
Both Ai and Shomei were hugging each other while crying. They were really proud of their son. They knew how their son was and they knew that the other kid must have said or done something to make him act like that. So, they didn't mind that display that much.
[With UA Staff]
"That was really brutal" a teacher spoke.
"Yes, but nothing new. Many students use and have used this stage to get rid of their grudges" another teacher spoke.
"He could have done much worse" Aizawa said.
"I have read about that Bakugo kid's personality, arrange some sessions for him" Nezu said before looking back again at Reo.
"And what about Itsuki Reo?" another teacher asked.
"Not needed, he is usually easy going and mild mannered. Only other time he was brutal was when he fought in the USJ against the villians, Bakugo must have said or done something to him" Aizawa said.
"Yes, young Reo only used defensive and binding methods to win throughout the tournament" All Might said when he suddenly popped out from somewhere...
