THE FIRST MATCH WAS IZUKU VS A GUY WITH SPIKY LAVENDER HAIR. It was pretty uneventful, but I was happy that Zu won. He had to go to Recovery Girl, but when he came back he sat besides me. I gave him a high five as he sat down.

"Nice win Zu." I chirp. He seems flustered but gives a nod.

"A-Ah thank you Y/N.." He replied with a bright smile. I turned my attention back to the match only to feel watched. I brushed it off as I continued to watch. It was Todoroki versus Sero. Sero had quickly wrapped Todoroki with his tape and tried to swing him out the ring. Todoroki hit the floor and sent a huge wave of ice towards him. We all jumped back in response to a giant iceberg blocking us.

"So cold..." a girl shivered. Present Mic said something about taking a break.

"Y/N COULD WE BORROW RED FOR A MOMENT?" He shouted. I barely heard it. I got up and walked to the edge of the stands. I held up my right arm and summoned Red. He came out in a blast of flames. He roared as he begun to blast the ice with waves of fire. I sat back down next to Zu and watched my dragon do the work.

"Wow! That's so helpful Y/N!" Uruaka pointed out. I scratched the back of my neck.

"I try." I reply. I felt something touch my arm. I glanced down to see Zu poking it and rubbing it. He looked up and froze, seeing that he was caught.

"I-I'm s-so sorry Y-Y/N! I was just c-curious..." He stuttered with a blush. I giggled as I shrugged.

"Its all fine. I don't mind." I looked down to my arm. "It just glows like that whenever one of my dragons is out." He nodded and continued to inspect my arm. The markings glowed a vibrant red.

"Does it hurt?" He asked suddenly. I paused before shrugging.

"Only when either of them have been out for to long. It just gives me tingles." I reply. A Roark made us both turn. Red was trying to get in, but his head was too big. I went up to the railings and saw that the ice had been evaporated. I pat his head affectionately. "Good boy Red. Come back." He snorted flames as he turned around and flew away. I held up my right arm and held it as if I were holding a shield out infront of me.

He turned and flew full speed at me. People behind me shrieked but I was calm. He flew into my arm and disintegrated into red particles. When we were finished, I rubbed my arm as I sat back down. Zu was ecstatic.

"Woah Y/N, that was cool!" Kirishima said behind me, leaning over my seat. I gave a thumbs up as he went back to his seat. I looked to my side and saw it vacant.

"Where'd Ryoto go?" I asked, pretty much to myself.

"Its his match." Zu replied, pointing down at the stage. I facepalmed as I laughed.

"Thanks Zu, I'm just stupid." I chuckled. He flailed his hands.

"Wah! No you're not!" He said frantically. I smiled as I grabbed one of his flailing hands gently.

"Thanks Zu, you're to sweet." I smiled. He let his other one drop as he nodded, flustered. I let go of his hand and watched the next fight.

Ryoto won his match by using a really simple strategy. He never touched the floor and breathed flames to make Kaminari move back. Then, he burst through the flames and pushed him out of bounds. I felt bad for Kaminari, but at least he didn't look like an idiot. I guess that's something. I got out of my seat and gave a wave to Zu.

"Bye!" I waved. I walked to my side of the stage and waited for my entrance. The other girl was first so I didn't quite hear what Present Mic said. I walked out and was greeted by cheers.

"AND IT'S THE DRAGON WARRIOR FROM CLASS 1A, Y/N L/N!! MATCH BEGIN!" Present Mic shouted. I wasted no time in summoning Red, since he would be ideal for this. Red sparks flew from my arm as he formed. He flew back and picked me up. I hopped and flew up. Vines came shooting upwards. Red torched them as they came.

We flew down and Red blew a line of flames, forcing the girl back.

"Red, make a small fire ball and shoot right infront of her." I whispered. The serpent gave a nod as it spat a ball of flames. It collided and burst infront of her, making her jump back over the line.

"Shiozaki Ibara is eliminated from going out of bounds. L/N Y/N is the winner!" Midnight announced. I gave Red a pat on the head as we landed besides the girl. I walked over and extended a hand.

"Thank you for the match, you did well." I gave a smile at the saddened girl. She accepted the hand and shook it. We exchanged a few words before leaving. I summoned Red back and left the stadium.

I walked back to our stands and sat back down, gaining congradulations from my peers. I gave Ryoto a fist bump.

"Nice work partner." I grinned. He flashed a fang as he smiled.
