   The whole class watching the whole battle in the monitor shivered in pure excitement, anticipation - as they watch Ako evade and destroy Todoroki's ice, and Bakugo's aggressive attacks. She is completely unscathed, while Todoroki and Bakugo are both breathless.

"Woah, two versus one and Ako is still in advantage?! How powerful can she be?" Ashido gaped in awe, the class nodded im agreement. Momo proudly smiled as she watch her sisterly friend fighting seriously for the first time.

  'All those practices has been put to good use, good job! Ako!' Momo's eyes gleamed in glee.

  The battle started not long ago. As Ako planned, she will fight Bakugo and Todoroki while Koharu hides at the ceiling, concealing both her body and her presence - just like thin air. Nobody would notice that she was there.

Ako ran off to the second floor and met the two, bickering and fighting about something which Ako didn't bother to listen to since it's none of her business. Just like how Bakugo attacked Midoriya, she launched a surprise attack by sneaking behind Todoroki - kicking his left side of his waist which blew him away quite a bit far from them.

Ako stood up and her appearance came into their view. Her cyan blue eyes' pupil were slit, and her iris were glowing in the dark. Her dark outfit made it seem like she's one with the shadow with only visible is her eyes, ears and her tail. "Get ready, desu nya!"

Without further warnings, she flew right towards the two of them. She is so fast she is barely seen in the naked eye. Todoroki didn't hesitate to attack, freezing all of the entire hallways.

Ako almost slipped, her heart almost leaped out of her mouth but her reflexes saved her from falling down. Immediately jumping with one leg up and her one leg down, she did a flash kick backflip - slipping on the ice cold floor, she crouched down like a cat would that is ready to pounce on an enemy.

  The only untouched hallways from Todoroki's ice were where Bakugo and Todoroki is.

  But Ako smirked, a slippery floor like this is nothing to her!

"I suggest you prepare a better one to disable me from moving, desu wa!" She grinned.

  Todoroki became alarmed upon seeing Ako's mischievous grin, "Bakugo!"

He shouted for his help to distract Ako.

"DON'T F*CKIN' TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Bakugo dashed towards Ako, ready to attack her. Ako secretly grinned when everything is according to the plan.

  Bakugo brought his left foot to kick Ako on her right shoulder. Ako evaded his attack by ducking and did a flash kick hitting his chin. While Ako is in mid-air, Bakugo grabbed Ako's foot - catching her off guard. Before she could do anything, she was slammed on the floor harshly.

  Ako choked on her saliva when she had difficulty breathing due to the impact. "Gah!"

At the corner of her eyes, she saw Todoroki starting to run.

Immediately rolling to the side and pushing her self up, she touched the telecommunication device in her ears.

"Koharu! I'll count on you to catch Todoroki!" Ako made sure that Todoroki heard her. His steps ran faster as he disappeared in the dark hallways.

Koharu smiled and got herself ready.

  Meanwhile, Bakugo and Ako still haven't finished their fight yet. While Ako is evading and shielding his attacks, Bakugo is attacking aggressively - like a beast.

"IF YOU'RE F*CKING GOING EASY ON ME, I'LL F*CKING KILL YOU! DON'T HOLD YOURSELF BACK! FIGHT ME WITH ALL YOU HAVE!" His shouts vibrated Ako's sensitive eardrums to the point where she almost had a headache, also did she mention that he is basically threatening her right now? She was beyond pissed.

  Nevertheless, she controlled herself to keep calm if she doesn't want to kill this dude infront of her. She is powerful enough to just crush him. Literally by using her ability, telekinesis.

But she doesn't want to use her ability right now. She wants to keep it as her wild card in case something happens in the future.

"What a foul mouth, desu wa!" Finally saying her comment about his way of speaking, she dodge his explosion that almost catched her face.

  'So close!'

Ako gritted her teeth to calm her heart, she quickly jumped into the other wall and brought her left foot to land a hit on Bakugo's face. Twirling fast, her feet landed on Bakugo's left cheek - the impact made Bakugo nearly lose balance and fall.

Fortunately, he has good reaction time, taking a step back - he launched another explosion towards Ako who was still on air.

"DIE!" He shouted in full vigor, he was sure that his attack would somehow damage Ako. She has no chance, she has to be.

The smoke slowly dispersed infront of him, looking for Ako's injured body to confirm his victory. He slightly gulped.

  "Ara~ That was a smart move Bakugo-kun. Too bad, I'm not too easy whom you can fight with such flimsy tricks, desu wa!" He flinched when he heard Ako's boisterous voice echoed throughout the narrow hallway. Her body, although still covered in smoke, it's clear that she doesn't have any major injuries. She's unscathed.

Bakugo is twitching in anger, he hates that she is looking down on him, which is obviously not true. Ako's proud eyes still locked into his shaking figure. Calculating his next moves. She got in a stance when Bakugo raised his head, his eyes full of determination, his body is in fire to beat Ako. But knowing how Ako is able to evade all of his attack by calculating his next moves, why don't he change his fighting style?

He grinned, "SAOTOME!"

  He ran full speed towards the smirking Ako.

  He stretched his right arm forward, faking to launch an explosion which tricked Ako who ducked. When she realized she had been fooled by him, it was too late already. Bakugo quickly brought his knee towards Ako's face.

Ako managed to shield her face using her right wrist.

  She felt the strong impact of his knees on her wrist and her chin, she's sure it would bruise. She didn't felt the pain because of adrenaline, she didn't hesitate to roll under Bakugo - going behind him.

She snaked her arm on his waist, bringing herself up to his shoulder - she used this chance to jump to the other side of the wall.

  Bakugo felt both of her hands on both of his shoulder, the full weight of her body weighing his body weight down, Ako did a backwards flip, all the way kicking the wall beside them before she launched her punch.

Bakugo blocked her punch, but Ako had other plan. She smirked and used her other hand to grab Bakugo's collar and pulled him towards her face.

   She didn't hesitate to smash her head on his forehead, the sound was not pleasant at all. She heard her skull broke, his as well.

"TCH!" Bakugo clicked his tongue and launched an explosion on both of his hands. It finally damaged Ako.

"Ack!" She felt burns on her ears and her left shoulder, the pain in her back is finally coming back as well. But even still in pain, she is smiling.

  'How is Koharu doing?'

   "Heh! Finally showing your weakness huh? You think you can beat me so easily!? Listen to me, Saotome! I'm gonna be number one! And you're just my stepping stone! I'll definitely surpass you, and beat All Might!" He gritted his teeth, but still managed to smile - her words really did knock some sense into him.

His personality wouldn't let him succumb to his disappointments, if this disappointment is a lesson for him - he'll gladly accept it and surpass his weakness! If this weakness manage to make him stronger - he'll continue to get stronger, because he is human, and he'll make mistakes over and over again.

He is thankful to her words, not that he'll say it to her though. Her head will get bigger.

  Ako rested her left hand on her waist, smiling gleefully. "I'll be looking forward to that day, Bakugo-kun!"

  Koharu gulped nervously as she waited for Todoroki's arrival to the room. Completely invisible and becoming one with the wind, no one would notice her, even her presence is so lacking. Nobody would be able to find her, except for the princesses.
 
Koharu is currently hovering in the air, because according to Ako's plan - Todoroki would probably freeze the whole room, so she should spread her wings and be careful not to touch the surface.

It didn't take long for Koharu to feel the sudden drop in temperature, she witnessed the whole room got freezed in a fast rate before she saw the door open. Revealing the cool and cold Todoroki.

  Koharu held her breath not to get caught by Todoroki. As Todoroki wandered his eyes around the room, he didn't saw the purple haired girl that was Ako's partner. He can't even feel her presence. The whole room is in ice, but nothing is seem to be stucked in his ice.

"Is she still searching for me?" He whispered to his self.

He took a step forward and paused for a second, scanning the whole area if there is a sign of Koharu hiding in the corners. When he saw nothing of Koharu's shadows or even her snall figure, he proceeded walking towards the nuclear bomb.

Just as he was about to touch the nuclear bomb, he felt a violent swirl of air behind him - he turned around and saw a winged purple haired succubi with glowing red eyes. In her hands is the tape for the capture.

Just as she was about to stick the tape to his hand, he launched multiple ice glazers to her direction. Unfortunately, she dodged all of it and just straightly punched the ice. All of the ice that was coming towards her shattered in pieces at the mercy of her brute strength.

Todoroki didn't waste his time to reach his hands to the nuclear bomb, but was met by a solid invisible shield. His eyes widened in shock.

"B-Barrier?" He whispered in frustration.

"Ahhh, Ako-chan is right... You really are such an impatient person..." Koharu whispered eerily. Her voice is still gentle, but it's weirdly scary.

Her face is blank. Her eyes is glowing in red, and her whole figure is exuding a sweet and intoxicating aroma all over the place.

  Todoroki clenched his teeth and tried his best to cover his nose to shield him from the weird smell. The weird smell made a very strong effect on him, he started to breath heavily, and his mind is starting to get hazy.

   'W-What is this? It's making me feel weird...'

Before the smell takes effect on him, he launched another ice attack on Koharu. But due to his hazy and blurry vision, the ice were slower, and it didn't reached Koharu.

Koharu sighed and walked towards Todoroki, "You're already under my control..." Koharu pointed her hands on Todoroki whose eyes is dull and lifeless. This is what makes Koharu hate her ability, the look in their eyes is making her feel guilty.

The cold Todoroki, bent his knees infront of Koharu. "Ahhh...I hate seeing these..." She whispered.

Nevertheless, she proceeded walking towards him and to his back, she grabbed both of his hands and brought them behind him before she taped them.

After she taped him, the buzzer blared all around the whole building.

"THE VILLAIN TEAM WINS!"

Ako grinned when she heard the cue to their victory, and looked at Bakugo who was also grinning evily. Both of them are panting, but they enjoyed their fight - a fight between two proud people.

  "Not bad, Bakugo."

"Heh, you're really bad. Pussy cat."

"HA?! You can't even land a hit on me,  desu no!"

"YOU WANNA DIE?! I LANDED A HIT, LOOK AT YOUR BRUISED UGLY FACE!"

Ako gaped when he called her ugly, "I'M NOT UGLY, DESU WA!"

Koharu sighed and dispersed the pink mist that was making Todoroki under her control. She watched Todoroki flinched when he was brought to his senses. "We won, Todoroki-san."

She returned to her original soft and gentle voice. Todoroki looked at her before getting up, "I'm happy to fight you Todoroki-san. You're really strong!" She praised him but she got nothing but his glare.

"What strong is it in me? Is it still a fight? I lost to you, is it still considered strong?" He was about to walk away, but he saw Ako on the doorway in her tattered figure. But she still looked beautiful. She crossed her arms and glared at Todoroki.

  "Saotome."

"Ako-chan.."

Ako smiled at Koharu, "Good job Koharu! I can really count on you! You're so strong!"

"No! I'm not strong! I simply followed your plan, it was not me!"

"Jeez, don't be too humble Koharu. You deserve a praise!"

"Oh, uhm...okay."

  Ako looked back at Todoroki who was staring at her, "Todoroki-kun. You are weak, desu wa."

Todoroku flinched when he heard Ako said that to him, it made him frustrated and angry, he glared at Ako who was unaffected to his intense glares.

"You are weak because you don't recognize your weakness. You are weak because you haven't embraced your true self yet. You are weak because you are hiding in your shadow. You are weak because you can't accept." 

Todoroki frozed on his place when he heard Ako's statement. He wondered why was her voice always seems to touch his heart, always seems to make him realize something he didn't knew he could do.

  But was her words truly enough?

No.

It's not enough to heal his scars.

  "I don't care." He growled and walked away, purposely bumping his shoulder with her.

Ako watched his figure slowly disappeared out of the hallway, her eyes although held some irritations, it was overflowed by worry.
