I, without any personality, become a hero!

However, just as they passed each other... Iida Tenya lost consciousness and collapsed onto the ring...

"The victor is Izuku Midoriya!!"

The referee announced the winner at midnight, and the audience cheered for the contestant who advanced to the next round!

In that instant, as Iida Tenya charged at his opponent, Midoriya also swiftly moved past and delivered a chop to the back of Iida's neck.

Posterior carotid artery

When learning Bajiquan, Master Weibai taught his students how to subdue an opponent without injuring them. He explained that striking the carotid artery with sufficient force could cause someone to become dizzy.

It's the result of Izuku Midoriya's long-term training that allows him to capture even the fastest movements of Tenya Iida!

Author's note: I've made some changes. Using steel wire is indeed too dangerous and has a bug.

Chapter 52 The Third Final Match: Round Two

After the first round of the finals, the advancing contestants quickly moved on to the second round, including the first group of contestants who won the first round.

"The general affairs officer is not only strong-willed, but also quite skilled in hand-to-hand combat!"

"VS, Ooshiro Sarutobi from Class A of the Hero Course, a seemingly ordinary boy, is unexpectedly a martial arts master?!"

Amidst the exaggerated and boisterous introduction by "Heroic Commentator" Mike, both contestants stepped onto the ring.

"Please advise!"

"...!"

At the start, Shinso Hitoshi bowed to his opponent with his hands clasped in front of him. Although Ooshiro did not respond verbally, he still bowed in the same way.

"Midori, Ooshiro, and Shinso look just like they're fighting in the movie!"

Ochako Uraraka watched the two fighters bow to each other in the ring, just like she saw in Chinese martial arts movies, where they bowed to each other before a fight.

"You're right, it really is a martial arts competition!"

"Ugh?"

Midoriya's reply, while Yue Shanyou, standing beside him, was puzzled: why would the sports meet use martial arts instead of Quirks?

"Both Shinso and I learned Bajiquan at Oshiro's family dojo, so strictly speaking, we are also fellow disciples."

"What! I'll go learn that too!!"

Upon hearing the important news, Yue Shanyou carefully remembered it and decided to go find Wei Baiyuanfu and learn martial arts at his family's dojo!

"So, the match between Shinso and Ooshiro is like a sparring match between fellow disciples?!"

Compared to Ochako, who was pointing her index finger, she asked thoughtfully, and Izuku Midoriya nodded to indicate that she was right.

"Because Shiro knows Shinso's personality very well, their fight is just a martial arts sparring match!"

"So who will win?"

Ochako asked curiously, and then Yuu looked at her like she was a fool, while Midoriya, standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch Uraraka's question...

"Forehead......"

Ochako was embarrassed after saying those words; she seemed to have asked a very stupid question... Shinso Hitoshi had only been learning Bajiquan for a little over half a year, while Ooshiro had been practicing it since he was a child.

While the people on stage were gossiping and chatting, the competition on the stage also began!

Knowing that he was no match for Ooshiro in martial arts skills and that his physical constitution was far inferior to Ooshiro's, Shinso was not discouraged. He clenched his fist and launched an attack on Ooshiro.

He easily deflected Shinso's fist, and then grabbed his arm, took a step back and pulled Shinso towards him, while simultaneously slashing his chest with his other hand in a chop motion.

As the blow landed, Ooshiro also released his grip on his opponent's hand, causing Shinso to stagger back a few steps, while Ooshiro simultaneously made a gesture of yielding.

"Is it just a brief mention?"

Izuku Midoriya, watching from the stands, saw everything clearly. When learning Bajiquan at the Bajiquan Dojo, students and disciples often sparred and exchanged techniques. However, because Bajiquan is a very dangerous style of martial arts, the sparring was always done to the point of injury, in order to avoid causing any fatalities.

Shinso Hitoshi rubbed his chest. Ooshiro's blow wasn't strong; it only had a knockback effect. But he knew very well... if this weren't on the arena, and if Ooshiro Sarutobi were an enemy, he would already be dead.

I surrender!

"Huh?... Shinsoto made his classmate forfeit, so Ooshiro Sarutobi won!"

Shin-chan's decisive forfeit surprised the head referee, Midnight Teacher. Was this student too decisive? She gave up after only one attack. However, as the referee, she had to be fair and impartial. Could she stop a contestant from giving up?

"You flatter me, Xincao!"

"Don't try that on me, a loss is a loss!"

Shiro Ape was grateful, but Shinso turned his head away, too lazy to look at him. After all, they were fellow disciples who had known each other for so long, and they both knew each other's strengths and weaknesses. Saying more would just be pretentious.

"But this looks so cool, just like in a real martial arts movie!!"

With her eyes sparkling like stars, Uraraka Ochako may appear to be a well-behaved girl, but she is actually a martial arts movie enthusiast who loves the plots in these films!

"Li Ri can also learn Bajiquan at Wei Bai's house!"

Incidentally, Izuku Midoriya was mentioned, and then Yuu Takeyama, standing to the side, looked on with wary eyes. As expected, Uraraka was an opponent to be wary of.

The next match... Yaoyorozu Momo vs. Todoroki Shoto, is also an internal battle between Class A, but it will also be a very brutal showdown.

All the spectators present, including the professional heroes, were not optimistic about Yaoyorozu, the female contestant. Although her Quirk was also strong and practical, it was too cruel to face an exceptional contestant like Todoroki Shoto.

The scene of Bomber's performance in the last match, where he eliminated Soy Face with an iceberg that occupied half of the ring, is still fresh in everyone's mind. Now, almost everyone hates and sympathizes with Yaoyorozu. It's really cruel to encounter such an opponent!

"Hong, classmate..."

"Eight million."

The two students who stepped onto the stage, Yaoyorozu was the first to greet each other, seemingly trying to relieve his pressure. After all, his opponent was a terrifying opponent like Todoroki Shoto, and he couldn't think of any way to win.

Hong simply nodded in response. His opponent was a girl from his class. Although he wanted to win the match, he couldn't treat Yaoyorozu like he treated Soy Sauce Face.

"The match begins!!"

With the teacher's announcement at midnight, the battle between the two students began.

"Launch an attack first!"

The only strategy Yaoyorozu could think of was to activate her ready-to-go Quirk, creating a flashbang and catching it with her right hand while throwing it to the ground.

A blinding flash of light appeared, and Hō instinctively shielded his eyes with his hand to avoid temporary blindness from the intense light.

At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Yaoyorozu rushed directly in front of Todoroki Shoto, holding the newly created stick in her hand, and swung it at Todoroki's head with no mercy!

The same strategy as that of Seiro Hanta, who has a soy sauce face, is to forcefully create an opening when facing an opponent like Todoroki who is not up to par, and then strike with all his might to decide the outcome.

Using a flashbang as cover, Yaoyorozu was preparing to completely stun Todoroki with this attack when her body suddenly stopped...

"Sorry, Yaoyorozu... I won't fall for such an obvious trick."

Yaoyorozu's lower body was completely frozen in ice. When she looked down at Todoroki Shoto, she saw the frozen ground spreading out from under his feet, a trap that would freeze as soon as she stepped into it.

"I lost..."

With things having come to this point, the eight million had no chance of struggling and decisively surrendered.

"The victor is Shoto Todoroki!"

After Yaoyorozu Momo voluntarily conceded defeat, Midnight Teacher decisively announced the birth of the winner.

"The result was as expected, but the girl's tactics were also correct."

"I heard her personality is creative? That sounds pretty amazing."

"Speaking of which, her name is Yaoyorozu, right?! Is she the daughter of the Yaoyorozu family?!"

After the competition ended, the spectators in the stands started chatting and gossiping. There were so many interesting things to talk about at this year's U.A. Sports Meet.

Chapter 53 The Third Final Match: The Second Round Completed

After the battle between Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, Todoroki Shoto emerged victorious without any suspense, and the rescheduled match followed immediately.

After the first round of fighting, both of them collapsed to the ground, Kirishima Eijiro and Tetsuya Tetsuya.

Those two are definitely tough guys; the fact that they could fight to this extent in a ring match shows that the audience recognized their passion and fighting spirit.

After the two contestants woke up, the head referee announced a new qualifying method at midnight: "arm wrestling".

It's impossible to make these two fight until they're exhausted like they were in the ring before, so we're using this quick, energy-saving, and most manly way of fighting.

Kirishima and Tetsuya said no problem. On the stone platform kindly provided by Teacher Cement Man, the two contestants sat down and held hands tightly!

"Ready! 3-2-1!"

As the referee counted down to midnight, both steely and hardened hands simultaneously gathered their strength and prepared to strike!

"start!!"

At a command, Kirishima and Tetsuya, their faces flushed, exerted all their strength to restrain each other's hands!

"Come on!"

"You two are both men!"

Loud cheers came from the audience, who were cheering for the two men, who were giving it their all in the arm wrestling match.

After a long stalemate, Tetsuya Tetsuya was finally defeated. His personality "Iron" allows his body to become like steel, possessing the advantages of being strong and tough, but also the disadvantages of metal.

"Metal fatigue"

Unable to hold on any longer, Tetsuya was finally overwhelmed by Kirishima's full force, who slammed his hand onto the platform, shattering the stone platform in the process. Tetsuya was also thrown to the ground by Kirishima's excessive force!

Are you alright?

As Tetsuya rubbed his aching arm, another hand reached out to him—it was Kirishima Eijiro.

"You bastard!"

Grasping Kirishima's hand, Tetsuchi stood up. He acknowledged the man who had defeated him, a man who had won fair and square.

"Don't lose next time, you're a man who's beaten me before!"

"I'll do my best!"

In the end, Kirishima Eijiro advanced to the next round and faced Bakugo Katsuyoshi!

————————————————————————

"Katsuki Bakugo of Class A in the Hero Course, despite his villainous face, is indeed a student in the Hero Course, and his Quirk is 'Explosions' released from his hands."

"VS, Kirishima Eijiro of the Hero Course, a man brimming with passion, his Quirk is 'Harden,' and I'm sure everyone knows what that means."

When Mike was giving a scathing introduction, Bakugo Katsumi was already giving the commentary room a thumbs-down gesture of contempt. Even if his teacher was saying bad things about him in front of everyone, Bakugo wouldn't give him any face.

"Bakugo, I really want to have a head-on showdown with you!"

"I'll kill you!!"

Kirishima, his face radiating fighting spirit, was one of the few students in Class A of the Hero Course who could be considered friends with Bakugo Katsumi; the other students couldn't stand Bakugo's bad temper.

Bakugo Katsuki, also sporting an arrogant smile, had the constant explosions on his right hand a sign that he was ready to fight. Since Kirishima wanted to fight, he would go all out and blast him away!

"The match begins!!"

With Midnight's command, the battle between Bakugo Katsuki and Kirishima Eijiro began.

The two charged at each other simultaneously, and Kirishima immediately covered his entire body with "hardening" before throwing a punch at Bakugo Katsuki.

The movement was too obvious. Bakugo ducked to avoid Kirishima's punch, and at the same time, he slammed his right hand directly onto Kirishima's body, causing a huge explosion.

"No!"

Amidst the black smoke from the explosion, Kirishima's resolute response rang out, as he simultaneously delivered a powerful jab to Bakugo with his other hand.

At the critical moment, Bakugo's fighting instincts made him instinctively turn his head away, but Kirishima's fierce punch still left a bloody mark on his face!

Meanwhile, Kirishima continued his attacks relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of punches—left hook, right hook, straight punch, jab—like a tempestuous storm.

At this moment, Bakugo Katsuki was also trying his best to dodge the attacks. Kirishima's offensive was too fierce, so he had to temporarily avoid the limelight. The scene showed Bakugo being suppressed and beaten by Kirishima.

"That's amazing! Bakugo was actually suppressed by Kirishima!"

Ochako was quite surprised by what she saw on the stage. Her classmate, who was like a powder keg, was being suppressed and unable to fight back. As expected of Kirishima-kun, no wonder he was able to become friends with Bakugo.

"That idiot didn't even fight back, that's completely unlike him!"

On the other side, Yue Shanyou, who was giving a live commentary, was quite familiar with Bakugo's personality. Being suppressed by Kirishima must have been frustrating for him.
