30- Shattered mask
Biscuit Krueger let out a sigh, Tsk, these children. She didn't understand what the fuss was about class 1-A, barely of them had much potential. And the ones who did squandered it, making the blonde haired hunter very frustrated. The one with the ice was impressive, for his circumstances at the very least. But he's still restricting himself, and limiting himself to only his quirk. In order to succeed you need more than just that. Her agile mind quickly analyzed each and every single one of the student's weaknesses and strengths as she watched the festival.
Overall, she concluded the person with the highest potential over Alluka was Katsuki Bakugou. Not only did that boy have strength, but he also had ambition. Although if he really wants to succeed in life, he'll need to learn when to cool his jets. She thought wryly, watching him shout at his classmates. It reminded her of another gifted brat she'd had the fortune of teaching. One she'd polished into a beautiful sapphire. "Next up! We have Yuga Aoyama vs....Alluka Krueger!" present mic announced. Biscuit's face pulled into a frown, a sharp contrast on her delicate features. She hadn't seen that brat in a worryingly long time. She watched as the contestants took their places, then she stiffened. Why is Alluka wearing her mask? What is that girl planning... "BEGIN!"
Biscuit scrutinized her movements, then gritted her teeth. That's not Alluka. It's Nanika. Why the hell is she fighting? Biscuit had interacted a few times with the black eyed entity. As far as she was aware, Nanika was like a puppy. Soft, sweet, and generally harmless on her own. A kindred spirit, who lived to please others. As she watched Nanika fight however, she couldn't help but be slightly impressed. I suppose she's more focused than Alluka. She'd noticed the young girl be fairly unsure of her actions, and a tad bit nervous. I don't know what's the matter with her, why she hesitates. Possibly the way she was raised. Biscuit tapped her chin, deep in thought. I'll just have to undo the training she received, Killua managed with that quite well.
Alluka was suspended in an inky darkness, warm and comforting. In the midst of the mindscape while Nanika controlled their shared body. It was warm, and comfortable. A state of half consciousness, neither awake or asleep. Distantly she heard explosions going off, at the very edge of her hearing. What's that? She stirred slightly, then rolled over and descended deeper into the darkness. It didn't much matter. Alluka I need- No...sleepy. Alluka replied, yawning and stretching her limbs. ALLUKA!
Light seared her retinas as she was suddenly ripped out of the comfortable darkness, causing her to let out a cry of dismay. Pain seared through her body, and her brain registered a firm hand clamped around her neck. "H-Huh!?" Alluka's eyes shot wide, meeting the firey red ones of Katsuki Bakugou. Her mask was shattered on the ground beside her, and the expression on Bakugou's face...scared her. He wasn't mad, or bloodthirsty. It was the alarm riddled look in his eyes that terrified her. "You're lucky...I was the only one that saw that" he spat, in a lowered tone. "Once this match is over...you have some fucking explaining to do."
A chill went down Alluka's spine. I'm sorry- This is bad, really bad! I knew this was a bad idea! Her breath hitched as she tried to shove her panic down. She was scared, in a way she hadn't been in a while. She didn't want to be put in a box again, she wanted to be free! Alluka grabbed onto Bakugou's arm, then with all the strength she could muster, threw him away from her. The crowd went wild as Bakugou went flying a few feet. Alluka had to do a double take, she hadn't realized how much she'd improved over the last few weeks. He landed quite easily, then spread his stance, eyes narrowing at her. Alluka stood up and got ready for combat, gritting her teeth. "ALLUKA KRUGER IS OUT OF BOUNDS! BAKUGOU WINS!"
She froze, then her eyes went down to her feet. Her heel was just out of the wide boundary, just by a few centimeters. Just enough for her to lose. Dammit... Alluka bowed respectfully, as Bisky taught her to do after a good bout of fighting. She mumbled a few words, before hurrying off with the shattered remnants of her mask clutched in her fingers. I really messed up didn't I...
