39: 𝐶ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔
A/N: Chose this song for the screaming💜
"I AM GONNA COMMIT SCOOTER ANKLE!!"
Kira yelled in her mind, mocking her uncle's entrance. Her mind screamed mentally as she casually crossed her arms and leaned against the wall.
"Really dude... Why the grand entrance all the time? Can't you walk into a room like a normal person?"
"Ugh him." Bakugou thought. "Never meet your heroes..."
Kira appreciated Bakugou's support in disliking All Might. Though he did still respect the man's career, which Kira understood.
"Hello young heroes!!!" All might stood with his hands on his hips.
"He's so cool..."
"Daddy."
"I'll never get used to seeing him in person... He's super manly."
"Oh yeah, I need to update my fic about him..."
"Ahh, loud."
"I didn't even get to the tournament round in the festival... I'm really nervous..."
Kira yawned and sat on the grass by Bakugou's feet. She couldn't really even strategize until she knew who she'd be paired with. Kira knew realistically there was about... Six people she was confident she could at least get close to beating in a fight. That left about twelve individuals she couldn't beat. At least not easily.
Aoyama she could take easy. His quirk had a big drawback and he had a very limited amount of moves.
Mina was a Maybe. It was definitely be difficult but Kira didn't think it would take too many hard hits to take her out. But she'd have to be really careful of her acid.
Tsuyu was smart and agile. But in a situation like this where she wouldn't be able to climb or hide Kira could stand a chance. Though Tsu used her tongue as a long range weapon Kira didn't see why she couldn't use that to her advantage. Considering the tongue was still a part of her body.
Uraraka was an almost definite no. Kira could only fight by getting close to a person and all Uraraka would have to do to win was touch her. Then she would just float away. The only thing Kira could think to do after that would be hold onto the girl for dear life as some sort of anchor. But that plan had a lot of holes.
Ojiro and her would basically just fight have to hand. The guy would definitely win, he was a black belt and was double her size. Not to mention he had a whole extra limb.
Denki Kaminari would fry Kira's brains. Immediate K.O.
The only possible way she could beat Kirishima was by playing on his hesitation over the fact that she was a girl. But with his quirk and overall strength he'd beat her easy.
Satou and Shoji were the same as Ojiro. They were huge and could totally body her.
Koda she could maybe take... Maybe. Depending on what animals were nearby.
Jirou she could totally take. She knew Jirou wouldn't every want to hurt her and would probably just "accidentally" step out of bounds to let her win. Even if she didn't and she took the fight seriously Kira was so used to loud noises the only thing she'd have to worry about would be the sound waves.
Kira could last against Sero but probably wouldn't win. He had a long rage quirk and was very agile and strong. She would have a lot of trouble beating him.
Tokoyomi was a no, without a light source of her own dark shadow would overtake her in seconds.
Todoroki was an obvious no, so was Bakugou really. Though she might be able to last a little longer against Bakugou.
Hagakure she could definitely take. Considering Kira's quirk would make it easy to locate her.
Midoriya one on one like this was also a no. One flick and she was gone, plus he had developed a whole new fighting style last week.
Yayorozu would underestimate Kira so much that Kira would be able to probably overpower her quickly, before she managed to create anything.
And Iida-
"Tenya Iida and Kira Kokoa."
Aizawa said, looking up. "You two are going after Uraraka and Ojiro.
"What?!" Iida froze up. But didn't say anything. Kira gave Aizawa a thumbs up saying she heard him.
"Kokoa?!... I can't fight Kokoa!! I can't hurt her, she's my friend! This isn't a fair fight, but it is random... It's alright Tenya, just push her out of bounds. That's all!"
He pushed up his glasses nervously and kept glancing over at Kira. Who was on the ground casually playing with the grass.
'Iida... Yeah I might be toast.' Kira thought with a small frown.
Normally she would just... Lose. If Kira knew she probably wouldn't win. As stated before she was a realist. She wasn't the type of person to shoot for the stars or too never stop trying. She wasn't passionate or tenacious. She gave up, she didn't see the point of trying hard if she didn't think even her best would win. She didn't sink energy into something unless she was sure it would work. And right now she wasn't sure.
'But...'
She glanced at her uncle.
But... Kira couldn't do that now. Not while he was watching. She couldn't just lose. She couldn't go down without a fight. She had to actually try, and Kira wasn't very good at that.
°.•.°•.°•.°
Kira stood across from Iida, who didn't have on his helmet anymore. Dispite Kira's calm demeanor and confident body language her thoughts sounded something like this:
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
Kira didn't often show fear. But she very often felt it, she dealt with it by just screaming in her head. It was ironic because if someone else did it while around Kira she'd probably slap them. But Kira was confident there were no other mind-readers that she would be torturing by screaming.
"She looks pretty chill. Maybe she has a plan."
"I don't know anything about her fighting style... Should I take notes?"
"Please win... Please please win."
"Does Iida like her? I think he does."
"I wish I could write this down. Or record it for later. It could progress their story."
"Iida's gonna win. Is that mean? I hope no one thinks that about me..."
Kira rubbed her temples and closed her eyes. She needed to focus. Like Aizawa told her constantly when he was training her. Focus of Iida's stream of thought, nothing else matters.
"Okay okay... Just run over, use your quirk. Then just... Pick her up and drop her outside the line. Easy enough... Pick her up... Wait how do you pick someone up?" Tenya's mind ran through every possible way to carry her. From bridal style to throwing her over his shoulder.
Kira wanted to scream. Which she did, in her mind. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH."
Mind screaming was a very nice outlet.
"Alright!" Her eyes looked over to her uncle. He put up the starting pistol and pulled the trigger, letting out a loud bang.
"Alright this is it..." Iida got into a running stance. Preparing to run straight at Kira. Kira lowered her stance.
She had about half a second. If she moved too quickly he would be able to change direction. If she didn't move quickly enough then he'd scoop her up and throw her out of bounds. Or rather "gently set her down" as he was thinking.
She grit her teeth and clinched her fists. She would not be picked up like a princess and set out of bounds. She refused to be embarrassed by Iida like that. If she was going out, it was going to be with a fight. She wanted to be taken seriously.
The reason no one took her seriously was... Was right in front of her. Iida had to open his big ass mouth and tell her classmates she was "quirkless" now they all thought she was fragile. Sure she couldn't really blame him, but Kira keeps SO MANY secrets. Why was it so hard for him to do the same?
"I'll run at an angle. Pass her on her left so I can just wrap my right arm around her waist and pull her too the line."
'Okay Kira. Jump to the Right, under his arm.'
She close her eyes and heard the rumbling of his engines.
"Damn it... Why isn't she moving..." Bakugou mentally cursed. "There's no way she's scared of the nerd... Right?"
He took off. She could hear him getting closer quickly. Too quickly. 'Not yet... Not yet...'
'NOW!!!!'
She threw herself to the side. She landed hard of her thigh and arm. If it weren't for her gloves she probably would have scraped her forearms.
"SHE DODGED?!"
Kira jumped back up, Iida slowly turned in pure innocent confusion. "Where'd she go-" Only to be immediately kicked in the face. Kira wasn't in a situation where she could afford to be nice to the guy. "Oh that's a boot-"
"Damn. Way harsh."
"Let's fucking GOOOOOO."
"Wow she dodged?! But he was just a blur! How did she know exactly where he'd be coming from?!"
"Focus Kira."
Kira tried not to glance over at Aizawa. Who was purposefully communicating with her via his mind.
'Right, focus. On Iida.' Kira had backed up several paces. Maybe she should have gotten in more hits after the first surprise. But she had chickened out.
"That kick... It almost came out of nowhere... How did she know exactly when to jump away?" He turned and wiped his nose. "I should have known it wouldn't be so easy to beat her. Even after she took down the hero killer I underestimated her. I thought that without a gun in her hand she was still weak."
Kira watched him carefully. Waiting for his next move.
"But she's never been weak has she?"
He thought, his engine starting up again. Louder.
'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.'
Kira thought, she had a lot of Adrenaline. She didn't quite mind the feeling though. It probably was the only thing keeping her from falling over. How did people do This?! Like how did her classmates just spar people??
Iida ran at her again, with little to no thought. But Kira knew he expected her to dodge this time. Leaning forward hands low, his speed slower than last time so her could move to either side. He was still trying to just grab her to force her out of bounds.
She couldn't go right or left. So she went up. Kira put a steadying arm on his shoulder and cleared him like a track hurdle. His arms closing around open air. Kira glanced down and then grabbed his glasses.
Was it a cheap move?
Yes it was. But Iida was taller, stronger and faster than she was. So if that meant she had to take away his vision to make things a little more fair then so be it. He can cry about it later. She shoved it into her pockets and then kicked the back of his knees.
He cried out in surprise and fell to his knees. Unfortunately soon after that he swung his leg around and completely took her out. Kira fell forward and landed on her chest with her palms to the ground. "Fuck-" She grunted.
"I can't let her ran away and start this process again!" He thought, scrambling towards her. Kira punched his throat and started to get back up. Iida held his neck after making a small choking sound but he still managed to grip her ankle and stop her from getting up. She stomped his hand and he let go in surprise.
But right as Kira was on her feet again he lunged over and tackled her back to the ground. "God she's quick." He thought in frustration. Gripping her wrists and pinning her. "Haha, now she won't... Go... Anywhere...
GOOD HEAVENS!!!"
He stared at the girl he was currently completely on top of. Kira raised an eyebrow slightly and his face became beet red from embarrassment.
"Damn Tenya. You're not even gonna take me out to dinner first?" Kira asked with a snort. Iida pushed off of her without hesitation and rolled away. Hands on his face, Kira stood up to fight again while still laughing but something caught her attention.
Bang.
Kira looked over in confusion but saw Aizawa point a flag at Iida. "Iida your arm has crossed the white line. You're out."
Iida slowly looked over at his extended arm, the hand passed over the line. He sprang up.
"T-that's not fair!" He stammered looking between Kira and Aizawa frantically. His mind was still trying to catch up with what happened. "She cheated!"
Kira snorted and covered her mouth. No one else had been close enough to hear what she had said to Iida, so they looked at them in complete confusion.
"Cheat? How'd she cheat?"
"Did she have a razorblade or some shit? How could she cheat like this?"
"Oh, and how did she do that?" Aizawa asked, frowning at Kira. Who was now cackling with her hands over her stomach.
"She... She distracted me!" He pointed at her. "That wasn't fair!"
"What did she do bro?" Sero asked. Iida went red.
"I..." Kira laughed. "I asked if he was gonna take me out to dinner first." She admitted.
"SHE QUESTIONED MY HONOR!!!" Iida screamed.
Kira laughed more, and after a few seconds... After everything put it together. They laughed too, Iida covering his face in embarrassment. "IT'S NOT FUNNY!"
"Oh come on Iida." Kira took the glasses of of her pocket. "It was a joke."
"Not a very funny one I'm my opinion." He thought glumly. "Cost me the match."
"Yes yes, a joke I see that now." Kira gave his shoulder a pat and stepped off the platform.
A lot of the students were still giggling among themselves. Koda was frantically typing on his phone in the corner and Jirou didn't know whether to find this funny or upsetting.
Bakugou was snickering over in the corner right where she and left him. "Really? That was your strategy?"
"Are you referring to me dodging him? Or that last bit?" Kira asked, shoving her hands in her pockets.
"I'm talking about you flirting with the idiot." He laughed and shook his head.
"I was in a pickle. He was gonna win." Kira shrugged. "I said the first thing that came to mind, never expected it to K.O him though."
"Guess she has more power than she knows..." He thought and then just shrugged.
"But her reflexes... It's like she knew how he was coming and exactly when to dodge. I think she might have a quirk that allows her to see the future. It would make sense. She came to school right after the USJ attack right? And she said Nezu personally invited her. I bet she saw something about the attack before it happened. Like a vision or some shit, she warned Nezu but it was either too late, or he didn't believe her at first. Then he gave her the empty hero course spot..."
Kira studied her nails. His guess wasn't half bad, and he had a lot of the elements of the story nailed down perfectly.
But her quirk... he was still completely oblivious to what it actually was.
"I wonder... If she saw something about me... About us being friends... Maybe that's why she sat with me. Maybe... she knew from the beginning."
