Chapter 77: CH 60: IZUKU VS KATSUKI

Ochaco stood and looked at the floor plan with Izuku. Once she finished, she began to speak in order to ease the atmosphere.

"It's a lot of work to memorize the building's floor plan. But, All Might is just the same as when he's on TV. Unlike Mr.Aizawa, it looks like there's no punishment, so we can re- You're not relaxed at all!!!"

She looked up and saw an extremely serious expression on his face. She was a little dazed by how cool he looked despite his weird costumes. 

"Sorry, it's just that there's some bad blood between me and Kacchan. This won't be easy. Also, Iida isn't an easy target. From what he told us he is from a family of heroes. So he was clearly trained since he got his quirk."

Ochaco, couldn't help but nod as she looked down. It seemed like she took this too lightly. She was never trained and it would be her first fight. To tell the truth, she was now a little worried. 

Suddenly, she could feel a weight on her head. She looked up to see Izuku patting her head with a large smile on his face. She couldn't help but blush a little as she heard him speak

"I'm sorry if I infected you with my unease. We should go gun blazing. The result doesn't matter. We just have to become stronger. Right?!!"

He stopped patting her head and curled his fist before stretched it toward her. 

"Right!!!!"

She also clenched her fist and bumped it with his extended fist.

[Now, let's start the indoor person-to-person combat training with Team A and Team D!]

She could hear All Might voice giving them the start,

"Now, let's go."

Under the encouragement of Izuku, they entered the buildings.

----

Kuroha was standing with the other students as they observed the feed from the control room. All Might began his lesson

"OKAY!!! Everyone, you all should think as well."

He could see the worry on All Might's face, well, Izuku was his successor and that Bakugo was no slouch. 

From what he understood, that guy quirk was extremely strong, and Bakugo Katsuki wasn't some stupid bully who only attacked the weak. No, he was a mad dog that wouldn't hesitate to tear everything apart. Izuku became strong after those ten months of training, but it wasn't like that Bakugo guy just stayed at home without doing anything.

Some people thought that just because they trained hard, they should win. Those people were utter fools. They forgot that other people also trained as hard as them. Some Even more so than them. 

The other students might not have received special training, but they had their quirks since young and were able to use it with no problem. Izuku on the other hand only obtained One For All roughly two months ago.

Still, Izuku wasn't a pushover either. He had already shown remarkable prowess. 

He looked as Izuku and Ochaco infiltrated the building. He also saw how Bakugo began to move by leaving Tenya alone. 

BOOM!!!

(Seem like things will become interesting.)

---

BOOM!!!

Izuku pushed Ochaco in order to avoid Kacchan attack. He wasn't surprised. No, rather he had already anticipated that something like that would happen. No way Kacchan would wait for them. That's why he was prepared.

"Ochaco! Now!!"

"YES!!"

Ochaco immediately touched his feet before bolting away. He knew very well that he shouldn't underestimate Kacchan. That's why he asked Ochaco to lower his weight and by doing so, boosting his speed.

"DEKU!!!"

"KACCHAN!!!"

(AN: NARUTO!!!! SASUKE!!!!. Lol, sorry if I broke the immersion. I couldn't resist.)

The moment came out, he rushed toward him at full speed. Izuku took a deep breath before also rushing.

Just as Bakugo was about to hit him, Izuku entered the gap created by his large swing before catching him with a judo technique.

BAM!!

The result was immediate. He bit the dust as he back slammed hard. He knew Bakugo better than he knew himself. 

"Kacchan. I told you didn't I? I'm not the old me. Let me show you, just how much I have grown."

He wanted to fight against Kacchan, He wanted to win. Still, he didn't forget their goal

"Ochaco, I'm letting the rest to you. Do as we planned."

Ochaco began to run away while hearing this. They had already made a plan for this situation.

Izuku, looking at the departing back of Ochaco, sighed before taking a deep breath.

(FULL COWL: 15%)

Red line marks begin to course through his body. The feeling of strength it gave him was so exhilarating. He smiled calmly at Kacchan who was slowly raising himself.

"Come at me with all you got"

"DEKU!! BASTARD!!"

Bakugo didn't rush this time. He hated the Deku who acted like hot shit even though he was scared. The feeling of being looked down could make him go insane. But this time, he saw no fear in Deku's eyes, only a thirst for fighting and winning.

A maniacal grin began to form on his face. 

(I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU.)

---

From a bird point of view, what happened next was a glorious display of martial art and ingenious use of quirk.

Bakugo Katsuki's style of fighting didn't only rely on a high destructive power. He also relied on erratic movement thanks to the manipulation of his own quirks.

Midoriya Izuku, on the other hand, knew basically all there was to know about Bakugo. What more, while he couldn't use high destructive power without breaking some of his bones, the mobility conferred to him by the full cowl was still astonishing.

Izuku and Bakugo. One whose talent reposed on using his quirk while the other one talent reposed on analyzing said quirks. They could have formed a gold team.

---

"Take this."

Izuku stopped another kick from Bakugo before trying to punch him in the stomach. Sadly, 

BOOM!! BOOM!!

His hit missed as Bakugo used his own explosion to propel himself and fall behind Izku. Just as he was about to continue the combat with another explosion directed toward Izuku, Izuku used punched the wall next to him and used the dust as a screen.

"I GOT YOU!!"

*Swish*

A hand appeared from behind the dust and was close to make contact with Bakugo head who was still floating.

"SHIT!"

Still, Bakugo reaction speed wasn't something that could be understood. He was fast enough to redirect his hand toward the ground and throw a large explosion at it, making the two of them lose their footing as they fell to the floor below.

Still, the two of them landed beautifully. Bakugo thanks to multiple explosions, and Izuku by relying on his agility and the boost he obtained thanks to Ochaco's power.

*Inhale* *exhale*

This time, after landing, the two of them were breathing hard and didn't launch a second onslaught.

"Hahaha. You bastard!! Was it fun tricking me all this time?!"

Izuku was stunned for a little while before understanding what Bakugo was talking about.

This silence was misunderstood by Bakugo as he gritted his teeth and continued speaking.

"Huh? Was it fun? You've got a flashy quirk there, don't you?!! You said shit like to come at you with all I got right?! Then...LET ME SHOW YOU WHO IS THE BEST!!!"

(Danger!!!)

[BAKUGO-SHONEN, STOP! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL HIM?"

An overwhelming sense of danger assailed Izuku the moment Bakugo finished speaking. He had three choices. 

ATTACKING BAKUGO WITH ALL HE GOT 

FLEEING

WAIT AND REACT TO THE SITUATION

He chooses option 3 without hesitation. 

The next events showed that he was right in doing so.

BOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!

A large explosion completely devastated the hallway and even the wall behind him. Bakugo's aim was so precise that had he moved a little he would have been blasted away.

[SHONEN, MIDORIYA-SHONEN, ARE YOU ALRIGHT.]

Izuku couldn't help but shiver as he looked behind him. Not because of the fright, he saw the attack way more devastating. But because he found a way to win this with the less amount of damage.

"AHAHAHA DEKU!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?"

"Ahaha, Kacchan, you're really strong, but this shows nothing. Again, one more time, this time though, I will show you that you aren't the only one with a powerful finisher."

"YOU!!!"

[BAKUGO, MIDORIYA STOP RIGHT NOW!!]

Izuku didn't listen to All Might, he wouldn't let go of this occasion.

Bakugo's quirk, allowed him to secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from the sweat gland on the palm of his hand and make it explode. For such a powerful explosion, the amount of sweat necessary is way more than he should be able to produce in one go. This means that, such an attack should be created from a reserve of sweat placed in those gauntlets and the number of times he can use this move should be limited.

"ARE YOU READY? DEKU!!!"

(As I thought.)

Izuku hides a smirk. The previous time, Kacchan used his right hand. But this time he used his left. 

"COME!!! KACCHAN!!!"

(It's time to try my own super move. Partial cowl: 50%)

The red vein in all his body dimmed down, while those on his right arms become brighter and larger. 50% was the limit he could use on a part of his body without breaking anything. He could only use this move twice with the same limb.

----

All Might was biting his lip as hesitation gnawed his mind. He didn't know if she should stop this fight or let them continue. Finally, he turned toward Kuroha and crossed eyes with him. 

(Can you do something?)

(Don't worry)

They didn't need to speak. They understood each other.

Now, reassured, he spoke,

[YOU CAN DO IT.]

The moment he gave his permission, everything happened in an instant.

"EXPLOSION!!!"

"DETROIT SMASH!!!!!"

BOOOOOMMM!!!!!

*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*

All the buildings began to shake as the different floors were destroyed one after another. The cameras couldn't show any image for some time with how thick the dust was.

When the dust finally settled, an incredible image could be seen. 

Izuku, with his costume completely shredded and heavily bleeding, could be seen destroying the two gauntlets of Bakugo. After that, he said something to bakugo, before activating his quirk and using the wall still intact to reach the higher floor who weren't destroyed.

This fight ended in Izuku victory.

The following was rather anticlimactic. Tenya was strong, but even though Izuku was wounded and had his right arm swollen and basically unusable, he still managed to pin Tenya long enough for Ochaco to use her quirk on him. Finally, with him out of the way, Team A obtained the victory.

----

Izuku sighed as he went towards the infirmary. He was happy about his victory, but he was also reminded that he shouldn't become complacent.

The only reason he won was because he understood Bakugo better. But, this didn't matter. He won this time, and he will again and again. 

Izuku didn't know, but for the first time, he thought of a personal goal that had nothing to do with All Might.

(AN: I hope you didn't think that just eight months of basic training + two months of quirk training would be enough to make Izuku crush bakugo without problems. He had to sweat and bleed for it. 

Actually in the Manga Izuku can use 20% and even another quirk despite that he is only barely able to make a draw with Bakugo. Worse he lost.

The reason he won this time is that thanks to the training he took an advance on bakugo and him knowing Bakugo very well.

Anyway give me your opinion on this fight.)
