Spar

The class ended and Ryu immediately left without going to the cafe he planned. He took out the sugar pack and ate it to relieve his craving. He teleported directly into his room and hung the bag on the wall.

He then changed his clothes. He wore a compressed T-shirt and a grey pant. He waited in the room, meditating and thinking about the plan to beat Bakugo.

After a while, his phone vibrated. Ryu checked the messages.

[ I am in the forest and already placed the stick you gave me.]

Ryu closed his eyes and tried to sense his energy. His spatial was getting more potent as he locked on the forest. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Bakugo who was wearing a short.

" Let's get started. " Bakugo said with confidence. He shook his hands, producing a tiny blast.

He then launched at Ryu. He used one hand for mobility and the other for attacking.

Ryu vanished on the spot and landed on the tree brunch. Bakugo spun around and looked for him. Suddenly, Ryu appeared behind Bakugo and tried to throw a punch with his right hand.

His punch was dodged easily by Bakugo.

" You know it is cliche to show up behind your opponent. " Bakugo smirked and slammed the explosion into Ryu. He didn't care if he managed to hit Ryu, he just hoped to increase the range of the explosion.

" Die. "

Ryu yet again escaped from Bakugo but it was not without a wound. His right hand was hit by the explosion and now felt burning.

" Careful idiot. You will burn the forest. " Ryu cursed.

"Haha. " Bakugo laughed. " You can dump the water onto the flame with your Quirk. "

Ryu grumbled and continued attacking Bakugo with the same tactic. After a few tries, he noticed that Bakugo's battle sense increased by a lot. He could now use the explosion to change his momentum without thinking too much.

Bakugo became more adept with Ryu's power. And it was a good thing for both of them.

Ryu smiled.

" What are you smiling for? " Bakugo asked, wiping the sweat from the forehead.

" No particular reason. " Ryu answered.

Ryu grabbed a few solid rocks from the ground and teleported up into the sky. The gravity pulled down and Ryu let go of the rock. His spatial energy was already fused with them.

Nevertheless, he remained falling, feeling the wind brush his face, hair and soul. Bakugo found Ryu and smirked.

" There you are. " He screamed in delight.

Ryu also let out a small laugh to himself. He disappeared but the rock stayed falling. In an instant, Ryu was standing in front of Bakugo in a fighting position.

" Come at me, you bomb devil. " Ryu challenged. He wanted to gather Bakugo's attention.

" You think I am stupid. " Bakugo said and faced his palm to the sky.

Then a straight line of explosions happened. It was condensed and packed with firepower enough to burn wood into a crisp. Of course, it was also enough to make the rock into dust.

Bakugo smirked as he grabbed his hand in pain. " See. "

Ryu was amazed by the strength of Bakugo's performance. But he would let his loser partner outshine him.

" Amazing. But you should increase your range a bit more. " Ryu said and teleported three rocks in the sky to Bakugo. He placed the rocks so that Bakugo could only dodge by moving toward his direction.

Bakugo cursed at himself and advanced. Ryu was delighted and ready to throw a punch.

He decided to use everything in the punch since his brain couldn't make another attempt like this for a while. The punch was packed with strangely weird momentum.

Bakugo sensed the strength coming from the punch. He grinned his teeth and used his injured hand to push himself. He wanted to duplicate the previous explosion.

The two forces collided and both of them were sent back to the trees.

The fight ended.

Ryu felt like his body was on fire. His head was getting stabbed by invisible needles. Although he could teleport away from this shitty forest, it was a loss in his dictionary.

On the other side, Bakugo couldn't move his right hand. It was dislocated because of two consecutive strong blasts. He could use the left but it was not his dominant hand so It would probably end like the right after one blast.

Ryu stood up after a while and laughed. " This is fun. "

" Fun, my ass. " Bakugo said, clenching his right arm.

Ryu stared at him and said. " I guess, it is a draw. "

He took out a sugar pack and ate it. He walked toward Bakugo and checked the injured arm.

" It is only dislocated. I can detach it. It's going to hurt. " Ryu said. " Think about happy memories. "

Then he put back the bones.

" Ouch. "

Ryu stepped back and smiled. " Fast, right? I got the technique from my grandma. She taught me because I always ended up like this during my Quirk's training. "

" Whatever. " Bakugo said quietly and swung his arm a few times.

Then Bakugo turned toward him and asked in a serious tone. " You said Deku got his Quirk from someone right? "

" Yes, I did. Although it is just my guess. "

" Then you managed to get the person he got from? " Bakugo said in an uncertain tone.

" I suppose I got someone in my mind. Do you want to know? "Ryu said.
