~POV, third person~
Bakugo propels himself in the air, clearing the smoke while at it. He began to rotate in the air with the help of his explosion to build up oxygen and momentum. He decided that ending the fight as quickly as possible was the only way he could possibly defeat Akira. The former observed Bakugo and instantly realized his intentions.
'Well, he knows strength and endurance wise; he doesn't stand a chance. I would have done the same if I were him.' (Akira)
Akira is still calm and has already planned his next move. Bakugo's actions were within expectations. Akira smirks, already knowing what Jutsu he will use.
'I wonder what faces he will make' (Akira)
While Bakugo is preparing his attack. Akira draws a circle with water coming out of the palm of his hand.
"Howitzer…"
Akira finished his circle, resembling a mirror with Bakugo's reflection on it.
"Suiton: Mizukagami no Jutsu"
He took the mirror, lowering it down, making another Bakugo do the same thing as the original.
"… Impact!"
BOOOOOOOOOM
The two Howitzer impacts collided with each other with the same force. Creating a massive explosion that blew off half of the arena.
…
As the situation settles down. The silence of the audience is heavy.
"What the hell is going on?! I think I saw two Bakugos exploding each other. Eraser your dynamic vision is better than mine. What do you have to say about it?"
Aizawa was still trying to understand what happened exactly, but he still figured out the core of the technique.
"It seems that Akira's technique creates a double of his opponent in action. It appears that it also reproduces the opponent's attack, regardless of the attack's nature. It is probably incredibly effective against special and ultimate moves as it completely negates the attack and, like in this case, acts as an excellent counterattack." (Aizawa)
"This is quite the technique. So? What is the result? We can't see anything once again. "
The dust cloud gradually clears, reveling an unarmed Akira and a badly beaten Bakugo. The white in his eyes indicates that he fainted, and the blood coming out of his ears indicates that the sound was so loud that it damaged his eardrums.
'He fainted from the overwhelming shockwave created between the two explosions. Chances are that he has a hemorrhage as well.' (Akira)
As for why Akira is fine, he just used ninjutsu to bury himself 20 feet (6.1 m) underground. Thus remaining unaffected.
"Bakugo-kun is unconscious; Uchiha-kun goes to the final!" (Midnight)
The usual cheers echoed in the stadium.
"This was an impressive demonstration of counterattack. We will rebuild the arena and proceed with the last match! The final will oppose Midoriya Izuku and Uchiha Akira."
While Bakugo was taken to Recovery Girl, Akira stepped down from the arena and took a crossed-leg meditation pause sitting on the stadium's grass while Cementos rebuilt the arena. An action that intrigues the spectators.
In class A-1 box. The students are excited about the showdown between a powered-up Izuku and the class's strongest. After witnessing Akira's power all throughout the festival. They understood that the Uchiha is undoubtedly the first year's strongest. Not only is he the strongest, but he is also a great strategist, tactician, and skilled in combat, notably martial arts. As seen against Bakugo, he also has tricky techniques.
"I wonder why he is meditating like that?" (Mineta)
The others also had the same question, but their theories diverge.
"Maybe he is mentally preparing himself against Midoriya." (Kaminari)
Jiro as usual, gave him the "You're an idiot" look.
"Preparing himself? After all we have seen?" (Jiro)
"I agree with Jiro-san. I think that it has an effect. Remember what Midoriya-san said, Akira-san's special constitution allows him to recover passively at all times. Perhaps it is a way to increase his recovery." (Yaoyorozu)
Indeed, Yaoyorozu's deduction is correct. Akira can use natural energy to increase his recovery rate. Thought right now, he is just practicing the control of natural energy to increase the speed at which he enters sage mode. Sage mode is one of Akira's greatest trump cards. Practicing it is imperative; the shorter the activation time, the better.
"SHIT!" (Bakugo)
A distinctive cry breaks the class from their conversation. An outraged Bakugo arrived, silencing anyone who talked. He continuously spouts curses, thinking at who remains a mystery.
"I can't believe it; I didn't even go to the finals, and this damned DEKU is made it!" (Bakugo)
Surprisingly enough, he didn't curse his opponent. He cursed Izuku for being the one in the final. He knows that Akira is even compared to all the other first years in a league on his own. What he is really mad about is that Akira never took him seriously.
Midoriya's mother, Inko is crying tears of joy like a fountain seeing her son compete in the finals, while All Might is proud of his successor. Thinking to himself once again that he made the right choice. The only thing he feels bitter about is his own lack of teaching ability. Bakugo, Todoroki and the rest of their comrades want to see how well Izuku can do against Akira.
"I wonder if Deku-kun will be alright." (Uraraka)
"I think he will be alright. After what we have seen from his match against Ida, we can expect a good match." (Shoji)
"Shoji, it's rare for you to be the first to speak." (Mineta)
Mineta said, pointing his finger at him. Ida reprimanded the shorty.
"Don't point your finger like this; it is impolite! For Midoriya-kun's match, I think the class president will test him after his sudden increase in strength. Since he trained him for this event, he probably wants Midoriya-kun to draw the most out of this encounter. After all, we all understand that he can't win against the class president." (Ida)
Everyone nodded except Bakugo, who was still mad but heard something strange.
"What do you mean after what you have seen with four-eyes' match?" (Bakugo)
He understood that something happened, but no one explained it to him.
"Just watch this fight, and you will understand." (Yaoyorozu)
sad Yaoyorozu in a cold tone, making everyone understand that she doesn't like him.
"TSK." (Bakugo)
In the teacher's box, All Might is eager to see what his protégé is capable of after the treatment.
"This final is boring; we already know who the winner is." (Snipe)
"Even if we know that Uchiha-kun is stronger. We have seen unexpected turns before. Still, I'm not an expert in combat. All Might-san what are your thoughts?" (Thirteen)
Thirteen asks the person with the most fighting experience around.
"Honestly, I am unsure how strong he is. He doesn't talk much about his quirks. We know that he can reinforce himself with his "chakra," use elemental attacks, clones, and what he calls "seals" who can serve various purposes. His body has an innate regeneration factor that, according to Uchiha-shōnen himself, prevents him from dying unless he is dealt a decisive strike. If you don't kill him in one hit, he will eventually completely recover." (All Might)
The other teachers went silent. Since none of them have even never heard nor encountered such strong and yet versatile powers. They wouldn't want a villain to possess such powers.
"That sounds almost like cheating." (Snipe)
"It makes teaching him a real challenge, since the walls that the school erects are possibly not high enough. On the contrary, he teaches his comrades instead." (Ectoplasm)
For them, having a student whom you can't teach anything is hard for them.
"He is still inexperienced, and; he himself is aware of that. You also heard him in his previous match; he never had to use his full power against someone else in sparring. He is still aware of his limits, it seems." (All Might)
"In that case, what are we going to do about the final exam? In the practical part, we can't put him against robots; they would simply be destroyed." (Thirteen)
Thirteen concerns are valid. If Uchaiha Akira is as strong as All Might said, putting him against robots is useless.
"Yeah. The problem is, in my opinion: He is stronger than even most pro-heroes and teachers, so we can't put him in a single combat against a teacher. I discussed this with the principle, and he came up with an exam tailored for him." (All Might)
The rest of the break passed in silence. Cementos finally finished his repairs. The flame at the arena's corner ignited.
"It's finally the last battle of the UA sports festival! The top of the first year will be decided with this one match! The final, so to speak!" (Present Mic)
The crowd is more hyped up than ever.
"From the hero course, Midoriya Izuku versus Uchiha Akira."
Izuku activates his Full Cowl at 15%; this creates a gust of wind around him. Akira took his stance.
"Now, START."
The two stare at each other, waiting for one of them to move.
"I will do my best!" (Izuku)
Izuku said in a determined tone. A small smile appears on Akira's face.
"Show me how much you've improved!"
He said before activating his silver Sharingan
