Haruki and Delaria stepped onto the stage and prepared to battle.

Delaria was the first to move. She ran forward and grabbed Haruki with her hair but he held onto it and used it to swing her around and made her fall over.

She quickly got up though and ran towards him again.

Haruki was persistent on not using his quirk. No one knew the true reason why, but he kept pushing on.

He fought with all he had against Delaria. But she was far too strong, especially with her quirk.

Haruki needed to use his quirk. But he wouldn't. He refused.

He ran towards Delaria again and grabbed her hair and tried to throw her out of bounds to win.

But she managed to grab hold of him and flip him over so he landed flat on his back.

He rolled over and looked up at his opponent who was beaming down at him.

"You're trying so hard. But now I need to finish this."

Haruki quickly grabbed her leg and pulled it so that she fell over again before she was able to do anything.

She screamed when she hit the hard ground and Haruki used this opportunity to stand up again.

In the stands, everyone was wondering what was happening.

"Why isn't Haruki using his quirk?"

"We've never seen him use it."

"Well, there is no rule that he has to."

"This is boring"

"What's he doing?"

Haruki could hear them muttering about him.

But he couldn't give up now. He had to keep going.

Delaria slowly got up and stood in a fighting stance.

Haruki charged forwards towards her and grabbed her and pushed her.

She kicked him and managed to slip away and ran to the side.

"Ha! Nice try but you're not going t-"

"Delaria is out of bounds. Haruki wins!"

"What?" Delaria looked down at her feet and then she noticed. He had pushed her towards the corner so that when she moved she would instantly step on the line no matter which way she went.

"Woah. You did it."

"I am very sorry if I have hurt you." He said, bowing slightly. "I will escort you to the nurse's office."

He then walked with her to the nurse's office.

"Why didn't you use your quirk?" She asked as they were walking.

"I... I don't want to talk about it."

"Eh? Why not?"

He looked at her with a hurt expression. She instantly understood and stopped prying.

"Delaria!" A voice called out. Delaria looked in the direction it came from. It was Lily running towards her. "Delaria! Have you seen Oji?"

"Oji? Your sister? No, I haven't."

"AHHH! WHERE iS SHE!?!?" Lily yelled. "If you see her, call me. Got it?"

"Got it," Delaria replied.

Lily then ran back in the direction she came from.

After Lily ran off they continued on their way to the nurse's office.

But there was a huge explosion and they saw Dere fly out of the room.

"PETAL WAIT!!!" She yelled out.

"YOU DID IT ON PURPOSE!!! YOU MADE ME FAIL!!!" Petal screamed at her as she walked out of the room and grabbed her by her collar.

"I'm sorry! I just... I really needed to win!"

"Well... SO DID I!!!" She shouted out as she punched the wall behind Dere, leaving an indent.

She raised her fist again about to punch Dere in the face this time.

But Haruki grabbed her and pulled her back while Delaria checked on Dere.

"LET ME GO!!!" Petal yelled and bit Haruki's arm. He let her go and she instantly ran to Dere and punched her right in the face.

Delaria gasped and tried to hold Petal back along with Haruki.

Petal screamed and punched and yelled and bit but they tried to keep a firm grip on her.

Dere only sat and watched as Petal tried her hardest to get to her.

"DERE!!!" Delaria yelled out. "WHY DON'T YOU RUN YOU, IDIOT!!!"

Dere got up quickly and took one last look at Petal before running.

Petal kept screaming, shouting for her to come back. But Delaria and Haruki kept a firm grip on her.

Petal ran into Boo and Sessha who came out of a room holding hands.

"HEY! IS THERE ANYONE IN THAT ROOM!? And what were you two doing?" Dere asked.

"We were talking," Boo replied. "And someone is in there. She said she wanted to be alone so we left the room."

"Oooooookaaaaaaay..." Dere decided to ignore it and keep running.

She thought if she went further down she could hide in a different room and Petal wouldn't be able to find her.

She found a room that was quite far down. She breathed on the keypad to find the pin. She quickly typed in the different possible combinations and finally, it clicked.

She ran into the room and shut the door.

She searched for a light switch but only found a torch on the floor. She picked it up and shined it to the other side of the room and saw... Ben and Oji....

"Uhhhhhhhhhhh... What are you doing?"

~~~A few minutes prior~~~

The villain fell through the floor and disappeared.

Oji landed on the floor with a thud.

"OW!" she yelled before getting up and rubbing her head where she hit it. "What just happened?"

"He fell," Ben said from across the room. He ran towards her and looked at the floor where the villain disappeared.

"Do you think he's really gon-" Just as Oji was about to finish her sentence the villain popped back up and grabbed her, pulling her down into the hole.

Ben grabbed her and pulled her back up.

He then made a lance and tried to stab the villain's hand with it. But the villain jumped up and tried to grab them.

Just then they heard the door open and quickly shut.

The villain quickly pushed them both over and disappeared into the ground again. A light suddenly turned on and pointed directly at Ben and Oji who were now in an awkward position.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhh... What are you doing?"

"Oh, nothing," Ben replied. "What are you doing?"

"Hiding... Now, what are you doing?"

'Oh my goodness, this day could not get any worse.' Oji said in her head.

Suddenly another explosion went off and blew the door down.

'It just got worse.'

Oof. I felt second-hand embarrassment writing that XD

But! I made a long(ish) chapter today! And we got to see Petal in a rage. That was.... Terrifying. And we know her rage hasn't calmed and won't calm anytime soon. I just might die.

Also, sorry I didn't update yesterday. I have no excuses. My apologies.

Anyways! See you guys next week!

Toodles! X3
