The Final Eight Are Decided

"Strange, why can't I move my body?" Uraraka lay on the ground, forcibly prying open her curled-up body and crawling towards Bakugo. "But, but I haven't given up yet..."

Bakugo stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the girl who was struggling to crawl toward him with one foot on the ground.

In the end, Uraraka never encountered Bakugo, Bakugo slowly became a blur in her eyes...

After checking on Uraraka's condition at Midnight, he announced the match result, "Uraraka is unable to fight. Bakugo wins and advances to the second round!"

Upon hearing this, the robot carried Uraraka down on a stretcher, where Rui En waited.

Bakugo snorted coldly, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to leave the stage. For some reason, even though he had won, he felt no sense of satisfaction.

"Alright, Bakugo is the Bakugo. Let's start the next match." Mic also lost interest in commentating and sighed dejectedly.

The next match is Kirishima versus Ashido. Simply put, Ashido attacks Kirishima with concentrated acid while keeping his distance, and Kirishima dodges while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Ashido's Quirk, Acid, needs to be constantly generated within his body, but Kirishima's Quirk, Hardening, is continuous. Before long, Ashido, who was being chased and screaming, was caught by Kirishima with his arm around his neck and had no choice but to surrender.

Sounds easy, right?

However, Kirishima grimaced as soon as he deactivated his Quirk. He hadn't felt much during the Hardening, but in reality, his arm was corroded by Ashido's strong acid, leaving it covered in a riot of colors.

Ashido was startled and quickly apologized before taking him to see a doctor.

And so, once again, when the result of the match was announced, the stadium was empty.

Shiozaki versus Jiro.

"The seventh match features the unfortunate but beautiful Hero Course Kyoka Jiro against Class B's last hope, the Vines queen Ibara Shiozaki!"

Veins bulged on Jiro's forehead. "What do you mean by 'a regrettable beauty'? That old man clearly has terrible taste in music, yet he kept coming over and acting all familiar. If you weren't a teacher, I would have already taken action..."

Jiro took a deep breath, forcing herself to forget Mic's words. Her chances of winning this battle were not very high. Without any support equipment, she would need to fight Ibara Shiozaki in close combat to have any chance of winning.

She thought it and she did it, but Ibara Shiozaki's Quirk was simply too unstoppable in this one-on-one arena. Jiro dodged her relentless Vines attacks, and even the Earphone Jack that flew out was knocked away, unable to get close to Ibara Shiozaki at all.

Seeing that Jiro posed no threat to him, Ibara Shiozaki silently prayed. Several Vines burst forth from the ground, their thick Vines intertwining and roaring like a giant dragon as they charged toward Jiro!

"Is he trying to finish himself off with the final blow...?"

Jiro's heart sank, and her eyes suddenly sharpened. Instead of retreating, she advanced, heading towards Ibara Shiozaki through the Vines!

The moment the Vines Jiro, her Earphone Jack slammed against the ground, creating a shower of sparks. The resulting recoil propelled Jiro into a leap, landing her on the Vines and gripping it tightly. He then forcefully plunged the rebounding Earphone Jack into the Vines!

Thump! Thump!

The strong heartbeat traveled through the Vines from the ground to Ibara Shiozaki's hair and into her head. Instantly, Shiozaki felt an unbearable pain and collapsed to her knees, powerless.

Mic put his feet off the mixing console, grabbed the microphone, and excitedly began shouting, "Wow, everyone, what did we just see? When the odds weren't against us, Jiro actually pulled off a comeback, plugging his Earphone Jack into Ibara Shiozaki's Vines, turning those attacking plants into a weapon in his favor! Well done!"

Jiro breathed a sigh of relief; she was gambling that Ibara Shiozaki's Vines could transmit sound.

This was a characteristic of Ibara Shiozaki's Vines that she observed during the mounted battle. She witnessed firsthand how, after Jilan Jiyu pressed down on Ibara Shiozaki's head, golden Hamon traveled from her hair to her Vines, causing Vines to instantly swell. Jiro thought in reverse: since her hair could transmit Hamon to her Vines, then the Vines could also act as a medium to transmit her voice back to her body, right?

Fortunately, she won her gamble. Ibara Shiozaki's Vines dragon lay limp on the ground, motionless. Ibara Shiozaki clutched her chest, her face contorted in pain.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this either, but for the sake of victory, I have no choice but to ask you to leave!

Kyoka Jiro from the Vines; its length was enough for her to get close to Ibara Shiozaki. From her observation, Ibara Shiozaki lacked close-combat skills; if she wanted the Vines to grow, she had to stand still. Once she got close, it would be her victory!

Closer, even closer!

Kyoka Jiro rushed in front of Ibara Shiozaki was kneeling on the ground clutching her chest. Just as Jiro threw a punch, green Vines suddenly burst from the ground and struck Jiro in the stomach. She had no time to react and was instantly sent flying.

The Earphone Jack was forcibly pulled out of the Vines, and Jiro's body slid to the ground. She suppressed the urge to vomit and tried to retract the headphone cord, but the long cord did not retract. Instead, it floated in the air for a few seconds before falling limply, circling around Jiro and protecting her curled-up body in the middle.

Jiro's Earphone Jack wasn't made of plastic or steel, but rather, like Ojiro's tail, it was an organ attached to her body. She felt her headphones burning; the flesh-colored headphone cable was covered in scratches, shocking marks that made one wonder if the cable would break at any moment.

She came up at Midnight to check on his injuries and was shocked to find that Jiro was no longer able to fight. She decisively declared Ibara Shiozaki the victor.

Ibara Shiozaki clutched his chest, remaining kneeling on the ground even after the match results were announced, his expression of pain seemingly genuine.

Midnight hesitated. Had she also been injured? Apart from being attacked by Jiro's sonic waves, she shouldn't have suffered any harm.

Rui En had just finished treating Uraraka and hadn't had much rest when two more patients were brought into her white tent: a girl with long earlobes who was unconscious, and another clutching her chest in apparent pain.

Rui En couldn't help but sigh, wondering if he shouldn't have accepted this mission. The number of injured this year was equivalent to the total number of students from the first to the third year of high school in previous years, and this was only the first battle.

However, if it were that old woman, it might be a bit more troublesome.

Rui En pulled a syringe from her pocket and injected herself. When she opened her eyes again, all her emotions seemed to have vanished, and she had become a blank, emotionless tool.

She skillfully selected potions from the shelf beside her, her hands emitting a faint green light as she expertly prepared the remedies.

The final match of the first round was between Yaoyorozu and Fumikage Tokoyami.

At the start of the match, Tokoyami released Dark Shadow and launched a fierce attack on Yaoyorozu. Yaoyorozu created a shield and barely managed to block the attack, but his body was forced to retreat a distance.

Knowing that Yaoyorozu would be in danger if he were to free up his hands to create things, Tokiwa Tokoyami manipulated the Dark Shadow to launch fierce attacks on the shield. Yaoyorozu could do nothing but hold the shield tightly.

After several attacks, Tokoyami stopped attacking because Yaoyorozu had crossed the white line, and Tokoyami was automatically declared the winner of the match.

The first round of matches has concluded, and the top eight have been determined. The second round will feature Midoriya vs. Todoroki, Jilan vs. Iida, Bakugo vs. Kirishima, Tokoyami vs. Shiozaki.
