Chapter 40: Chapter 41 ~ One For All Vs Rubber 1

My next opponent is the green-haired boy.

Thinking about this, he possessed insane power. I think his punch can kill someone. But he told me in the past that he couldn't control his own power.

This explains why his arm was broken after one blow. If he still couldn't control his power, that's for my good.

But if he had succeeded in controlling it, winning would be difficult for me, or even impossible.

I think one hit from him would send me flying out of the arena. this means...

I have to avoid all his punches!

"Stop thinking so much!" Daiki said.

I forgot that I am sitting among my classmates.

"That's right, you have defeated the strongest person in this festival. Everyone is waiting to see your next fight." Misaki said.

Ohara sighed and looked up at the sky, then she said;

"If Akari wins the next fight, he'll have to fight me. It would be a shame if I beat you in front of all this crowd, I'd look like a villain."

I smiled and looked at her and said;

"But your next opponent is the fastest person in Class A. If you underestimate him, you will lose."

"No... he doesn't have a chance against me" Ohara said as she looked with a smile on her face at iida who was sitting next to the class A students. iida was looking at Ohara too.

Then Misaki said out loud;

"Stop talking about the fights!" She sighed, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I want to participate too."

The class D students all started laughing. They have become friends in the past two months. Misaki is no longer the monster that Class D students fear from. And Akari is no longer the bastard who meddles in other people's affairs. The enmity in that class is over, or maybe that's what it seems.

Because Class D still has people who don't care about the festival, no... they don't care about the whole UA.

Akari will leave Class D soon and join the Heroes' Path, so what fate awaits the other students in Class D?

The intermission ended, and Yamada shouted:

"Alright, we will now start the first fight of the second round. Midoriya Izuku and Akari, please step forward to the arena."

Akari stood up and said:

"It's my turn, I'll go!"

Akari started walking, then Daiki said to him in a calm voice with a smile on his face;

"Gum is better when it's softer."

Akari smiled and replied:

"And this gum will be soft forever!"

Daiki meant that rubber is best in its natural state. Stress and anxiety will make the rubber harden and lose its bounce.

And so Akari headed to the arena.

[And at that time,

On the way to the arena.]

Midoriya was standing in front of All Might (in his weak form). Then, signs of shock appeared on midoriya's face.

"All Might! That's crazy! I can't do it." Midoriya said.

"This is the best way if you want to win," said All Might.

"Unleash my full strength on him… wouldn't that break my arm. What about him! If I use all my strength he'll probably die."

"Everything you said makes sense, but this case is an exception!"

"I don't understand what you mean by that."

"Do you remember the Nomu that I fought in the past?"

"Yes, I remember him."

"You told me your arm didn't break when you hit him. Do you have an explanation for that?"

"That's because that Nomu was specially made to fight you, it absorbs your blows," Midoriya said.

"Yes, that's right! It's the same with this boy you're going to fight. You can use your strength without breaking your arm. He won't be affected, but you will be able to make him fly out of the arena."

"Why are you so sure?" Midoriya asked with a tense look on his face.

"Because I fought him in a previous training."

A look of shock appeared on Midoriya's face, and he quickly looked down. He was hesitant, not wanting to use his power on someone as good as Akari.

All Might put his hand on Midoriya's shoulder and said to him.

"He will not die, and even if you use all of your strength, you may lose!"

Midoriya looked at All Might, shocked at the words he had just heard.

"Even Todoroki Shonen couldn't defeat him, so don't be arrogant about your strength. Remember to tell the world I'm here too, That's it, you have to go, you're late."

And so, All Might headed toward the stands, and Midoriya toward the arena, but he was immersed in thoughts.

Using One For All 100% on an ordinary person. This sounds crazy.

These were Midoriya's thoughts the whole time, so much so that he didn't notice until he found himself in the middle of the arena and Akari in front of him.

"Midoriya Shōnen? Are you alright?" Midnight asked, feeling strange that Midoriya was so distracted at such an important time.

Midoriya shouted:

"I'm... I'm fine!"

Akari looked at Midoriya and said;

"I haven't seen you use your strength today. You're probably afraid of killing someone. But don't worry, your punches are worthless in front of me!"

After those words, the questions in Midoriya's mind quickly began to fade away. And when Midnight raised her banner, he was ready to punch Akari with all his might.

        [Ready!.....

             ...Fight! ]

Immediately after the fight started, Akari put his hand on the ground and shouted:

         [ Gear Second! ]

commentator Yamada noisily said;

"Here it is! The strange steam coming out of Akari's body! His body changes color slightly to pink, and steam starts to come out of his body. When he did this in the first fight, his movements became so fast! But why did he use all his power so quickly!"

       [ One for All 100% ]

Red lines appeared on Midoriya's arms.

"One punch from you will be enough to make me fly out of the arena, then in that case. I just have to be faster than your punches." Akari said.

"I'm going to find one loophole, and when I find it, I'll be the winner here!" Midoriya said.
