As they got back to the control room All might applaused for the three of them.
Akira was the only one smiling.
" Young Akira, Young Bakugo and Young Todoroki have shown remarkable performance. And for the MVP of the match, it's young Akira!! Anybody willing to take a guess on why?" All might exclaimed as he pushed Bakugo and Todoroki farward as they just stayed behind.
Momo raised her hand earning a nod from All Might.
" Akira san controlled the battle right from the beginning.
She completely hid the objective. And the moment Todoroki san froze the building, the bomb was made close to impossible to find in that limited time.
After that, she created a fake objective in the top floor by guarding nothing.
And the heroes team walked right into it.
Her attacks gave no breathing space for the hero team to properly strategize and she used their team status as a weakness by setting them in their own line of action.
She purposefully provoked them and escaped when the attack was too lethal. And she managed to use the smoke screen created by Bakugo san's attack to completely deny them of vision earning the complete control of the battle field.
After that, she wore them out mentally and physically by constant hit and run tactics while staying right under their noses.
From the moment she entered the field, she took complete control of the objective, battle and opponent's mind.
Todoroki san while he was extremely composed during the whole fight, was also the first one to cause heavy destruction indoors which is not a good decision on the hero side.
Bakugo san was very easily provoked and escalated the massive indoor destruction and was the reason the cards completely fell out of their hands.
Hence, the only logical MVP of the battle trial is Akira san. " Momo deduced.
" Akira chan, you're scary kero. " Tsuyu expressed.
" It's ok Tsuyu chan! My brother says that a lot too. " Akira beamed referring to Hawks.
" Akira chan, you're too good at playing the villain!" Tenya added.
" Thank you!" She chirped back.
" What do you mean impossible to find?" Todoroki asked disoriented.
" Oh yeah. I buried it before you guys entered. "
They just stared at her as Bakugo clenched his fists tightly drawing more blood from his already damaged palms.
' She had us right from the start... I was overwhelmed....' Todoroki lamented as he too got frustrated.
" And sorry for the taunts. I have chocolate if you want! "
They ignored her as they went inside the room and sat on the provided bench in a corner.
' I don't want to face her in a fight.
That was psychological torture.
Removing the vision while poking them whenever they stop attacking, no wonder Todoroki san and Bakugo san are quiet.
That would rattle anyone.
And spooking them in that high tension..
Objectively, they are stronger than her in power output, but they were completely toyed throughout the exam.
And her attacks....she only used one attacking move but....that itself looked lethal.
But neither of them got injured.
She is holding back... but still managed to overwhelm them.
And they are clearly the two strongest students in the class along with Midoriya san in terms of raw power output.
She's a dangerous person. Luckily, she is not a villain..' Momo thought to herself.
Aizawa and Allmight had similar thoughts running in their heads.
" Now for the next match!"
The following matches continued.
Winners of the second match:
Tenya Iida and Mezo Shoji.
Midoriya and Uraraka split up after entering the battlefield as Tenya and Shoji guarded the objective together.
Shoji was able to predict their location with his quirk as they made a similar tactic to Akira and kept relocating the objective avoiding the heroes until they ran out of time.
Winners of the third match:
Momo Yaoyorozu and Kyoka Jiro
Jiro used her heartbeat surround to force them away from each other .
Momo dealt with Aoyama and Jiro focused on overwhelming Sato with continuous barrage of the same attack giving him no chance to attack .
Once momo dealt with Aoyama with a stun gun she created, she claimed the objective.
Winners of the fourth match:
Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami
Tokoyami handled both the offence and defence against Kirishima and Kaminari acting as a distraction as Tsuyu secured the weapon with her long tongue.
Winners of the final match:
Mina Ashido and Mashirao Ojiro.
Mina melted Sero's tape everytime he attacked and Ojiro quickly dealt with Koda and captured the weapon. Koda failed to give much resistance due to being indoors.
The matches end and the day soon comes to an end.
Akira is ready to leave after packing her bag.
"Bye guys!!" She shouted at the entrance and ran down before they reply excited to tell about her day to Hawks.
" Young Akira!!!" All might catches up to the girl as she was about to launch into the air.
" Oh! All might! Hi!"
He rests his hands on her shoulders as he speaks to her.
"Young Akira... you are a mountain that the rest of the class must climb. But I fear that if you stay at the top alone, you will forget what it means to reach a hand down to those below. You have the strength of a Symbol, but do you have the smile of one?"
" Huh? What?"
" Young Akira, you have incredible talent. You will make a great hero. But you should also start behaving like a hero. While your tactics are very smart during the battle, it was way too overboard. Yo-"
" Allmight. I am not you. Everyone is different in their own ways. I'm not a smiling hero like you.
Nor am I planning to be one.
I'm Akira. Not a symbol of peace. This is how I do my job. This is my way. "
Bakugo leaves after the matches end.
He doesn't go home.
The match keeps replaying in his head.
The way she toyed with him, the way she never even once took him seriously during the entire match, she didn't even move to finish the match when she could.
She didn't see him worthy enough of even that.
" dammit. .... Dammit.... Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!!! Damn you blood freak!!! I'll kill you! I'll KILL YOU! I'll kill you! "
He kept repeating the same thing again and again as he went to an empty ground and started blasting everything he saw.
The moon rose.
He did not stop.
" Boo!"
His mind echoed the jab again.
" AHHHHHHH!!!! " He screamed into the void as he let out another blast.
" DIEEEEEE!!!!!! "
Another hour passes with Bakugo screaming into the void destroying the whole ground.
" Damn you....damn you.... how dare you..... how dare you look down on me..... always... again and again and again...die dammit! I'm strong..... I'm the best..... Take me seriously dammit!! Nothing changed!! Even back then ..... Die!!! Five years..... five fucking years.... nothing changed.... nothing ..... nothing!! No matter how much he tried.....no matter how much he trained...it was the same... I'LL KILL HER!!! DIE BASTARD!! DIE!! "
Tears of frustration trailed on his face as he punched the tree infront of him continuously.
He hated it. It was the same move from ten years back. She caught his right hand.
" DIE ! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! Die! Die...die.. "
It's already way past 10:00pm. His hands are bleeding. Parts of his shirt torn from the repeated explosions.
Scratches adorned him from the debris that flung to him with every blast.
He is exhausted but kept going.
He completely forgot about his routine of going to bed at 8:30 pm.
Bakugo only went home much later around midnight.
