DEKU VS KACCHAN

Location: Mt. Northern Star (Izuku's Location)

*CLASH* *SHRINK*

The battle between Izuku and Katsuki had already begun. The sound of swords meeting each other adorned their battle. Between the two of them, Katsuki was the one who attacked the most while Izuku only defended and avoided Katsuki's attack.

"Oi! Deku! Stop avoiding and fight me!" Katsuki shouted who attacked Izuku with his sword.

Izuku only paid attention to Katsuki's attack and continued to avoid it without fighting back. Katsuki swung his sword towards Izuku's right shoulder and Izuku managed to deflect it. After his attack was parried, Katsuki spun around and swung his sword from the left towards Izuku's neck. Izuku dodged the attack by bending his body downward. That position was good enough for Izuku to attack Katsuki and intended to hit him in the abdomen. Knowing Izuku's intentions, Katsuki raised his leg and kicked Izuku right in the chest and then hit the head with his hand that was holding the sword. Izuku was slightly bounced off by Katsuki's punch and shook his head to focus his gaze which was slightly shattered by Katsuki's punch in the head.

Katsuki started to attack Izuku again. First, he aimed for Izuku's forehead, Izuku avoided him by leaning backward. After that, Katsuki spun around and kicked Izuku's leg so he fell to the ground. Katsuki then tried to stab Izuku in the chest with his sword. Izuku dodged the attack by rolling on the ground so that Katsuki's sword was stuck in the ground. Izuku started to lift himself to his feet after rolling quite a distance from Katsuki. Katsuki pulled his sword from the ground and ran towards Izuku while raising his sword.

"DAMN NERD!!" Katsuki shouted.

Katsuki swung his sword from above to injure Izuku's left shoulder. Izuku avoided the attack as Katsuki swung his sword following Izuku's movements but Izuku still managed to dodge even though the sword slightly scratched his left cheek. Izuku took a few steps back away from Katsuki. The two of them looked at each other seriously showing that no one intended to lose this battle.

"Oi! Deku! Do you want to fight me? All you do is avoid my attacks without counterattacking!" Katsuki began to get annoyed with how Izuku fought.

Izuku only looked at Katsuki seriously and ignored all the words he was making. Annoyed Katsuki started running towards Izuku to attack again. This time Katsuki attacked by swinging his sword repeatedly at Izuku from various directions. Izuku only avoided Katsuki's attacks, but Izuku couldn't avoid Katsuki's attacks forever. Some scratches were seen on several parts of the body such as on his left cheek, his right hand, and also his left side waist, and started bleeding.

"(I can't keep going if I have to avoid Kacchan's continuous attacks like this. I have to find a chance so I can attack Kacchan and make him unable to move so I can leave him and continue this contest)" Izuku thought as he rubbed the blood on his left cheek.

Katsuki and Izuku were already getting tired of this battle but none of them seemed to intend to stop fighting or surrender. Katsuki started attacking Izuku again and again until at last, he succeeded in stabbing Izuku's left shoulder and pushing it until Izuku fell to the ground with a sword still piercing his left shoulder. After dropping Izuku to the ground, Katsuki immediately stepped on Izuku's right hand which held his target sword so that Izuku could not fight. Izuku really can't move and fight with his current situation.

Location: Mt. Northern Star (Camping Site)

The royal officials who were in charge of the contest judges waited for the participants to return with their findings. Eraser Head and Cementoss waited while playing chess, Present Mic was away because it was his turn to hunt for their dinner, Ochaco was making magic potions for healing as requested by Midnight while Midnight was just sitting there relaxing reading a spellbook. The top brass of the kingdom was not worried about the situation of the participants because the contest venue was only inhabited by monsters with low price levels such as Slime and Goblin. They will only act when there are participants who do not return after their time has run out. But after a while Midnight got bored and pulled out her crystal ball.

"Ms. Midnight?" Call Ochaco who saw Midnight take out her crystal ball.

"Is the potion done?" Midnight asked, seeing Ochaco walking towards her.

"Yes, the potion requested has been completed. By the way, why are you take out a crystal ball?" Ochaco asked.

"Oh, I just want to see the situation of the participants. Do you want to join?" Invite Midnight.

"Is it true? I want to see someone. I didn't have the chance to say good luck before the contest began." Ochaco scratched the back of her neck.

"Is that your friend? Or your boyfriend?" Midnight teases her student.

"EH? No! No! We only met this morning before leaving for this place and chatting along the way. I just want to see the situation." Ochaco shook her head with her red face.

"Alright, come sit with me. Tell me what your friend's name is." Midnight gives room to sit with her.

"Izuku Midoriya, but I prefer to call him Deku-kun," Ochaco answered.

"OK. O great magic crystal ball! Grant my wish! Show us the whereabouts of a teenager named Izuku Midoriya on North Star Mountain! " Midnight recited the spell while stroking the crystal ball.

The crystal ball began to shine even brighter and finally gave a picture of Izuku's condition. Midnight and Ochaco focused their eyes on the crystal ball which began to clarify the picture. After the description of the crystal ball was clear Ochaco and Midnight were surprised to see Izuku who was lying on the ground with a sword stabbing into his left shoulder and another person standing on it while stepping on his right hand.

"Deku-kun!" Ochaco shouted in surprise at Izuku's condition.

"Don't worry, I'll preach this to Eraser Head." Seeing that, Midnight immediately ran to Eraser Head to preach the problem.

After Midnight left, Ochaco just paused and continued staring at the crystal ball worriedly.

Location: Mt. Northern Star (Izuku's Location)

Izuku was still lying on the ground while enduring pain with his left shoulder pierced by a sword and blood flowing out. He tried to move to free himself, but that only made his shoulder hurt even more. He looked at Katsuki with a serious look and began to feel angry when Katsuki started to say things about Izuku.

"Oi! Deku! Are you serious about your story, HUH? Are you serious about following this contest to become a royal knight? Because against me, you just avoid continuously without attacking using that sword. I also don't believe your story about that stupid sword and the legendary knight. I felt in vain last night that I listened to your stupid stories and wasted my time. You're just useless who dreams too highly without seeing your inadequate circumstances to achieve your dreams. You're just wasting your time. You better just work as a farmer like your mother." Katsuki said things about Izuku with an evil look and smile.

Listening to that, Izuku began to feel angry. He increasingly grasped his sword very tightly. He began to stretch to free his body even though it made the wound on his left shoulder worse but he felt no pain due to his anger. Katsuki who began to lose balance stepped harder on Izuku's hand and pushed his sword deeper to give pain so that Izuku stopped moving but Izuku acted the opposite. Izuku who was increasingly rebellious began to let out his anger. Izuku instantly emitted a bright yellow light on his body and finally put pressure around him, making Katsuki who was above him bounce away. Izuku started to stand up, pulling out the sword on his shoulder and throwing it to the ground. Izuku looks like he lost consciousness because of his anger. He began to lift the sword and held it with both hands above his head. The sword began to emit bright lights. Katsuki was speechless, surprised to see that with his mouth open. Instantly Izuku swung the sword down and the ground in front of him began to be destroyed by the strength of his sword and headed right where Katsuki was. Katsuki couldn't move because he was surprised to see that and just closed his eyes very tightly.

* BOOM *

There was a sound like an explosion at that place. The situation in the place is different from before. The land that was flat and overgrown with grass looks chaotic. Katsuki began to open his eyes. He saw the ground in front of him that had been destroyed and just realized that he was in a different place.

"You owe me an explanation for this." Katsuki heard someone talking beside him.

"E-Eraser Head?" Katsuki was surprised to see Eraser Head by his side and realized that Eraser Head's Bind Cloth was wrapped around his body.

On the other hand, Izuku was seen lying on the ground unconscious with a sword in his hand. Katsuki just paused remembering what had just happened. He realized that Eraser Head had saved him from Izuku's attack which might have killed him.

"I will take you two back to the campsite. Midnight will take care of your wounds. After you get well, you have to tell what happened in this place." Eraser Head said in a tone that sounded like he was angry.

Katsuki just quiet and nodded his head at the words of Eraser Head then turned his attention to Izuku. His facial features increasingly constricted indicating that he was getting angry at Izuku. He even bit his lower lip until he bled. Eraser Head helped Katsuki to his feet and began walking toward Izuku and lifting him in a bridal style. Katsuki walked behind Eraser Head with his Bind Cloth which he did not release from Katsuki in case Katsuki ran away or collapsed from shock without his knowing. Eraser Head also brought the two teenagers back to the campsite to be cared for by Midnight and Ochaco. Katsuki was silent to the campsite without saying a word to Eraser Head and Eraser Head intended not to say or ask anything until the two healed.
