The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 36 - Finals (III)

[IN THE VIEWING ROOM]

"Who do you think will win, Momo?" Mina asked Momo. ??

"I know that Mirko was teaching him but I don't know if he can fight Aizawa or not" Momo answered.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen. All of them also wanted to see how Reo would fight against Eraserhead. Most of them even forgot that Jiro was also in the match. Bakugo's face was smug now... he wanted to see Reo lose.

Izuku Midoriya was calculating about the probabilities like he always did. This match was so interesting for him that he had forgotten anything about his own match against All Might. He was saved by Reo from the Nomu, so he was pretty excited to see the results of this match. Subconsciously, he had made Reo a target he needed to pass.

Todoroki didn't have any hard feelings against Reo like Bakugo did but he was still interested in this fight. He had still remembered how he had lost in the sports & how Reo defeated those villians in USJ.

"Hey... Reo can even attack even when he isn't looking at the opponets like he attacked me and Jiro in Hero Basic Training" suddenly Denki said dashing everyone's hope to see an awesome hand-to-hand fight.

[WITH REO]

Fighting in this kind of residential area worked out for my advantage. The iron sand stored in my hero costume started to leave. Aizawa was in my range now, I knew exactly where he was. Everyone, because of my recent fights have thought that I need my to see my opponents to attack. Honestly, I somewhat forgot this myself... hehehe... I didn't even to make so many plans with Jiro.

The sand immediately rushed towards where Aizawa was, Jiro looked at me and a sudden realization hit her.

"You could have done that!! There was no reason to make so many plans!" Jiro said.

"Um... sorry. I have really forgotten myself that I could use it like that..." I said to Jiro then concentrated back on my attack. My sand had reached Aizawa and started to attack. Aizawa was able to dodge for a few seconds but he was eventually caught, he needs eye contact for his Quirk to work so I quickly covered his eyes with a strip of iron sand.

(A/N: Hehehe... last chap I built up so much suspense about am epic fight and now... hehehe. Some of you will curse me after reading how anticlimactic this was... hehehe... pranked...!!!)

[WITH AIZAWA]

Aizawa was heading where Reo and Jiro had taken position, he could have waited for them near the exit but doing that would give Reo and Jiro advantage to surprise him. Unlike Power Loader or Cementoss or Ectoplasm he didn't have any offensive abilities expect his martial arts and for martial arts to work he needed to get close.

So, he needed to ambush them like he had planned ahead, he was about to turn a corner when suddenly a wave of iron sand tried to engulf him.

"Shit...!!" Aizawa cursed, all of them had forgotten that Reo could attack even when he was not looking. He tried to dodge being able to dodge a few times but he was finally caught when the iron sand started to wrap around him.

'I still have a chance if he comes in front of me, I can cancel his Quirk, freeing myself' Aizawa thought in his mind but the next moment his thoughts were dashed as his eyes were covered by a strip of iron sand.

"Shit" Aizawa cursed again knowing that he had lost and had lost miserably.

[WITH THE PRO-HEROES]

All of them looked Reo sending all of his iron sand towards Aizawa.

Seeing this All Might suddenly remembered that Reo could even attack when he wasn't looking at his opponents or they were far away.

"All Might care to tell us something" Nezu gave him a stink-eye. All other pro-heroes also gave him a stink-eye.

"Hahaha... I kind of forgot that" All Might laughed in his usual pose and didn't even look embarrassed.

[WITH REO]

I walked up to Aizawa and the iron sand cleared freeing his hands only upto the wrists. Jiro quickly cuffed him and only after that I let him go.

With that our win was declared and walked back into the viewing room and the whole room was filled with gobsmacked students. Everyone wanted to see an epic battle but they only saw one sided win. Aizawa never had a chance against me...

Everyone congratulated me and Jiro for the win and the next match was announced. Team Uraraka & Aoyama VS Thirteen, their match was being held in USJ. It was similar to canon, Ochako and Yuga tried to leave through the escape gate but were stopped when Thirteen brought them closer, Ochako finally takes down Thirteen using martail arts taught to her by Gunhead.

After that match was over, the three of them returned to the viewing room. The sixth match was announced, Team Ashido & Kaminari VS Nezu. Their match was being held on ground gamma, like in canon Nezu plays with bothe Mina and Denki.

Nezu calmly destroys all of their escape routes except one and they weren't able to find that in time. So, they fail the exam when the time runs out.

The seventh match was announced, Team Koda & Todoroki VS Present Mic. It was being held in a forest inside UA High, damn...they also have a forest inside the campus. Pretty unfair... I was slightly interested in this match since it was original. Todoroki decided that he wanted to defeat Present Mic while Koda wanted to run away. I could guess that much by looking at the screens.

When Present Mic gets impatient and sends his first attack, Todoroki realises that Present Mic was much more stronger than he had imagined. After 15 minutes of dilly dallying around, a sudden barage a ice spikes attack Present Mic, he dodges the attack easily but unable to locate Todoroki.

Present Mic keeps sending his voice attacks but suddenly a sea of flames rush twoards him from one side and huge ice glacier from other side. Present Mic launches another attack to nullify them but Todoroki appears with his ears covered in ice and freezes the surface making Present Mic unable to move. Before Present Mic could do anything he is cuffed by Koda who appeared out of the blue with his huge body. With that they are declared the winners.

Wow... I have to say, that was a good fight. They could have at least pitted me against Present Mic, it could have been much more interesting that the fight I had with Aizawa, if it could be even called that one.

The next match was being held in some building filled with stone pillars. Damn... UA is surely well funded. Team Shoji & Hagakure VS Snipe. The match was exactly how it happened in the anime, Toru cuffs Snipe but by some chance Snipe unknowingly brushes his hand against Toru's breast. Toru flips and calls him a pervert and what not, well it was quite funny and amusing to see. With that Shoji and Toru are also declared winners.

The next match, the ninth match was between Team Sero & Yaoyorozu VS Midnight. This match was pretty interesting, my girlfriends were being pitted against each other. Let's see if Hanta can pass this time or still loses. Their match was being held at the same Rocky terrian where in canon Mineta and Hanta had their match.

As soon as the match starts Momo makes a mask to protect herself from Midnight's Quirk. Momo knew from the previous matches that Midnight would be guarding the escape gate. With that idea, Momo makes a net but I don't know what she was going to do with it.

They made some plan and started walking towards the escape gate where Midnight was waiting for them. Midnight attacks to both with her whip and tries to corner any one of them. Both of them dodged her started to run away from her. Since there wasn't any audio we weren't able to hear anything.

I could clearly see that Midnight's sadistic side has started to come out while she was following both of them. Suddenly the net Momo made sprung out of a tree and Midnight's left arm and leg gets caught in the net. Immediately from the other side Momo jumps out but Midnight was expecting this and hits Momo with her whip but it seemed that Momo was only a decoy and as soon as the whip hits Momo, Hanta also popped out front bushes and cuffs Midnight's left hand which was caught in the net. Midnight also trips to back out but Momo had grabbed Midnight's right arm and dropped on the ground holding it in submission hold. Hanta uses this chance and cuffs Midnight's other arm too.

With that... Momo and Hanta won the match. This time Hanta also wins the match. After getting out Momo's whip mark was treated by Recovery Girl. I just hope that they don't resent one other. After they arrived in the room I went to Momo.

"How is your hand?" I asked her.

"Oh it's ok... don't worry Nemuri said sorry to me after the match. Even if she didn't apologize I wouldn't have held it against her. It was an exam after all." Momo removed all my doubts with her answer. I didn't even ask her but she already knew what I wanted to know... good girl.

The tenth match was between Team Bakugo & Izuku VS All Might. The match was exactly same what happened in canon. They may have even spouted the same tripe... who knows. I watched the whole match with bored expression... but finally somehow Izuku and Bakugo won the match with the power of fighting together (I call it bullshit or plot armor).

With that the practical of final exams were fianlly over...
