CHAPTER 68

-

"That's the end of the second round!"

Present Mic yelled as Gohru heard someone falling down the moment the event ended.

"Now, let's take a look at the top 4 teams right away!"

The hologram expands as it showed the leaderboard that covered all the teams for more tension, clearer for everyone to see.

"In first place, Team Todoroki!"

Glancing over at the main protagonist, he sees Kaminari with his brain fried, Iida with the engines on his legs steaming, Yaoyorozu with a sigh of relief, and Todoroki who was looking at his left hand.

"Even though we won. it felt like we were skating on thin ice..."

Yaoyorozu said as she crossed her hands under her chest, causing Iida to have a guilty face.

"Sorry, I cause everyone trouble in the end..."

"That's not true. In fact, it was your Respiro Burst that helped us get the 10,000,000 points, Iida-san."

"In second place, Team Jin!"

"Keikaku Doori (All according to plan)..."

Denji said while smirking at Bakugo who was fuming in anger.

"We almost lost though, and there's something that I have to tell you later in private..."

The Quirk that targeted him while fighting 1-B. That was not from the battlefield at all. Someone targeted him from the stands.

He made sure to take note of it.

"And in third place, Team Bakugo!"

"Ahh, we were so close!"

Ashido said annoyingly as Sero just shrugged.

"Well, third place isn't that bad. All's well that ends well."

"When did you get so smart?"

Kirishima grinned at the surprising last sentence as he glanced over at the pissed off Bakugo with a sweat drop.

"... But do you really think that's how he feels though?"

"Ah... I see what you mean."

"GAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

Bakugo yells as he slams his fist onto the ground, frustrated that they got 3rd place instead of 1st.

"Lastly, in fourth place, Team Midoriya!"

Midoriya slams onto the ground on his knees as he starts crying, causing the surrounding teammates to just smile at the boy (Except for Hatsume, she was tinkering with her "babies")

"These four teams... Will advance... to the FINAL ROUND!"

Looking at the phone, Gohru prays that whoever was calling him wasn't who he was thinking of before looking at the contact saved.

Toga Himiko (3 Missed Calls).

Cursing to the gods, he ignored the call and immediately opened a messenger app before hovering over Dabi's contact. Messaging him, he waited for a response.

-

Boss: I felt an intense surge of bloodlust.

Boss: What the fuck happened?

Dabi: You happened.

Dabi: Saw you touch a girl's tits.

Dabi: She's killing Twice's clones of you rn with the knife you gave her.

Dabi: I think it's the 7th one to die.

Boss: Fuck.

Boss: Damage control, man.

Dabi: Na, boss.

Dabi: This is funny to watch.

Dabi: Her fighting skills are improving too.

Dabi: Win-win situation.

-

Dabi then sent a picture of a blank expressio faced Toga slicing a clone's head off, making him shiver in place. He was so fucked.

Ignoring the problem for now (Tactical retreat), he met up with Denji who was eating with Ochako, talking about their (Midoriya's) version of their battle.

"And then Deku was like SWISH and FOOM, then Todoroki was all SHHHKKK and WHIIISH!"

"Uh huh... Then?"

"Then, Iida was like, Respiro Burst — Extendddd, and then suddenly they got the 10 mill — "

OK... he'll let them have their fun for now. Now it was time to plan.

If Shinso and one more joins the final round, then it will be 16 people. Should be either Aoyama or the 1-B bloke that Shinso brainwashed.

From his memories, Shinso and Midoriya fights the first round, then he will fight against Todoroki and loses. He just hoped that the placements would be perfect so that he and Denji could fight in the finals.

"Everyone, let's draw lots to determine the matchups! Once the brackets are determined, then the recreational games will start!"

Midnight holds onto a box as Yaoyorozu questioned. 

"But, sensei, there's only 14 of us."

"Yes, that's why members from the fifth place can join the final round!"

As she said that, everyone looked at Shinso, Aoyama, and the 1-B bloke. Raising his hand, Shinso glares at Gohru before looking at Midnight. 

"I'll join."

Quickly, Aoyama raised his hand and joined in. Midnight looks at the last person on Shinso's group. 

"... I won't join then."

"... Very well! Shinso Hitoshi and Aoyama Yuga joins the final round, moving up to make 16!"

Raising her whip, she points it at the same hologram as she showed the brackets. 

"This is the bracket based on the results of the drawing!"

Looking at the brackets, he nodded at the fact that the major events still happened. Hitoshi vs Midoriya, and he will face Todoroki in the second round. 

Finding his name, he sees that he was facing against Kaminari, and then either Iida or Hatsume while Denji was fighting Kirishima, and then either Aoyama or Ashido since the placements were different from the anime.

"S-Shit..."

Kaminari muttered as they locked eyes, making him pale. 

"T-This is karma, isn't it?"

Gohru just gave him a nod as Kaminari's shoulders slumped. You shall be remembered for making such beautiful women wear cheerleading outfits, brother.

"Yosh! Let's show them our manly spirits, Denji!"

Kirishima shouted out loud as Denji just gave a nod at that, thinking of ways to try and help his twin sister with... Him.

-

"Huh? Uraraka?"

Bakugo questioned as Ochako just slumped as well. 

"W-We've been classmates for almost a month..."

-

"I'll give it my all."

Tokoyami told Yaoyorozu who just gulped. 

"T-That's what I wanted!"

-

"Merci, Ashido. Too bad you got me as your opponent — "

Aoyama taunted but got cut off (As always)

"You mean, too lucky!"

-

Once they dismissed everyone for the recreational events, since he could just skip it, he went to one of the private waiting rooms before taking out papers to make his planning easier. 

He wonders for a second, looking at his wrists before dismissing it. The students were too weak to use it. Project: Hercules would make its debut another time then. Hopefully when he needed to, because if he used it...

His body would 100% break down.
