The Epic of Leviathan

Chapter 20 - UA Sports Festival (VI)

I looked over to Izuku and sensed that my metal dust were stashed down the corner of the arena. Good thing that I stashed it before I left after the previous match. I don't want anyone to throw it out... maybe I should also start carrying a gourd or something similar like Gaara.

"On one side we have Itsuki Reo from Class 1-A who finished his previous fight with complete ease" Present Mic yelled and I noticed Midnight was making cow eyes at me. I would take that as she is wishing me good luck. ​​

"On the other side we have Izuku Midoriya who is also from Class 1-A with a mysterious strength Quirk! Now let's see who comes on top between these two!!" Present Mic yelled in the Mic and the crowd exploded in cheers. Well the audience seems to be pretty excited.

"Are you two ready?" this time Midnight asked us. Both me and Izuku nodded our heads. "Then START" Midnight yelled and with that the fight started.

Izuku really has a good head on his shoulders, he immediately tried to get closer to me but as he saw the metal sand have already reached me so he jumped at the side. Then he kept moving in zig-zag form around me, trying to get closer to me. I don't even want to know how the hell did he get that fucking idea... but honestly it too stupid.

I was completely bored and was unimpressed with his try, is this the best he could have planned against me? Some metal sand rose from my side and rushed towards Izuku. I was sure that, I was going to catch him but by a hair's difference I missed. What...?? I know how good my aim is... so that's what's happening. By moving from side to side he is keeping his momentum which he could use to dodge the attack.

Well... it was still the worst strategy he could have used... another volley of metal sand rushed towards him but this time it was going towards where he was going to land. He also knew that his pathetic gig was up and he was caught, if the fear had anything to say which marred his face.

Before he could even land, the metal sand gripped his leg in vice grip. Izuku knew that his chance was gone now. He immediately chanelled One For All, in the foot and was able to successfully break away from the grip but using One For All didn't bode too well of him. His left leg was completely useless now, because it was broken.

All of the metal sand I had rushed towards him, this game was getting pretty bored too soon. But Izuku someone managed to dodge my metal two times before he was surrounded from all the sides. Izuku didn't wait any longer and channeled One For All in his right hand and punched the wall of metal sand which was closing in on him. The wall immediately split apart due to the force of the punch. The ground beneath us was also ripped apart due to the immense force of the punch. Another wall rose up in front of me and stopped the attack completely before coming in my direction.

After Izuku attack was nullified, all the metal sand was dropped on the ground. Izuku was clutching his right arm with his left hand. It was broken too... he was now breadthing heavily. I wasn't even slightly winded. The next instant before he could even blonl the metal sand rose up from the ground and rushed towards him all again. Izuku tried to dodge but he was caught at the first try. He chanelled One For All in his left arm and was able to free his left arm before it was again engulfed by the metal sand. He wasn't able to oppose anyone before his whole body was engulfed in metal sand upto his neck.

"There is no way you can continue this fight any longer! Give up!" I told him. I know he is too stubborn to give up or too stupid to understand his situation. He kept trying to free himself but the metal sand didn't even budge. I just waited there, so that he could finally understand his situation. But he kept trying and trying... well I guess I waited enough... the metal sand coccon rose up in the air went out of the bounds and dropped Izuku out of the bounds.

"Izuku Midoriya is out of the bounds giving the win to Itsuki Reo" by the time Midnight did the announcement I was already leaving the arena. Ten crowd exploded in another bout pf cheer because they got to see this exciting fight. I have to agree that Izuku was the one who gave me the best fight... even though I wasn't trying that hard. Honestly, I didn't need to... So I finally reached the stand.

By that time Eijirou and Bakugo were already in the arena. Their match was similar to what happened in canon. Bakugo won the match gaining his position in top 4. Depending if his next fight is with Ibara then he would be moving up to the finals too.

[With UA Staff]

"The fights were pretty good" a teacher spoke.

Aizawa was thinking about Izuku who was taken to the infirmary for his treatment. The kid had enough determination but he was too stupid to know when he had lost. That stupidity might even cost him his life someday. Aizawa would be teaching that to him the first when classes resumes.

[With Reo's Parents]

"I don't have anything to say anymore, I could happily say that I got the best son I could hope for" Shomei wiped his eye to stop the tears of happiness.

"Don't be dramatic but I will say that after he wins the tournament" Ai said with full determination.

"You are right, honey" Shomei said and pulled Ai towrads him.

[With the Pro-Heroes]

"I think that Reo kid is going to win"

"He will be getting a lot of offers from a lot of heroes"

"Too true, I myself will offer him internship"

While all this conversation was going on a certain red-head hero was seething in anger.

[Back with Reo]

After another short-break the 4 of us were again gathered in front of Midnight. "Now, with the 4 remaining contestants we are are going to have the semi-finals! Now, let's check the matchups!!" Midnight screamed into the mic and the screen behind her flsahed a few times with our names. "And here we have the matchups for the semi-finals!"

SEMI-FINALS

1) Shoto Todoroki VS Itsuki Reo

2) Katsuki Bakugo VS Ibara Shiozaki

Just like I had imagined... Bakugo will be going to the finals. I don't see him losing against Ibara and if he loses then honestly he isn't even worth my time.

So now, both Todoroki and me could be seen climbing the arena from different sides.

"From one side we have the ruler of metals from Class 1-A, Itsuki Reo!" Midnight yelled in utter joy. Crowd also cheered after my name was announced.

"And from the other side the emperor of ice & fire also from Class 1-A, Shoto Todoroki" Midnight yelled into the mic. Todoroki didn't seem happy when fire was mentioned along with his name. In the canon I saw Izuku made Todoroki get the stick out of his ass so he would also use fire but I won't be doing that. Why would I?? It wasn't my responsibility to deal with someone's trauma.

"Are you both ready?" this time it was Present Mic who asked us and both of us nodded. "Then START" with that the match was a go and Todoroki launched a glacier towards me which was stopped by my metal sand wall.He again attacked me but this time it was from another direction, but before it could even come near me a spike made of metal sand shatted the ice attack. The previous attack which was stooped by my metal sand was also shattered.

The metal sand rose up like a sea wave and rushed towards Todoroki who used an ice wall to stop the wave but it wasn't enough. The ice wall was shattered like glass. Todoroki was even more determined and launched another volley of ice attack towards the wave of metal sand. This time Todoroki attack was huge and was able to freeze off the whole wave.

"My Ice is better than your metal" Todoroki looked at me in a mocking style. Is he that stupid?? And why does he need to do that?

I was somehow glad that I didn't had that attitude and thank my previous life for that. The ice Todoroki created which froze my metal sand broke apart, metal sand spilled out of the cracks and rushed twoards Todoroki.

This time I rose up my hand and the metal sand became more faster, before Todoroki could frezze them, the sand was reaching him. This made him dodge the attacks and run around. He could no longer create any ice attacks because if he did the metal sand immediately reaches him. He knew what would happen once if they grab hold of you once...

So just like this the battle continued... (Let's see what happens on the next episode of Drag *cough*cough* A Mutant's Ascension)
