"PARTICIPANT HEBERT ADVANCES TO THE FINALS!!! AFTER A SHORT BREAK WE WILL CONTINUE WITH THE INEVITABLE CONCLUSION OF THIS TOURNAMENT!! PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT!! "
I looked over at the ring where Taylor had approached Azula, who didn't seem particularly upset or angry about losing, in fact, she had a mocking smile on her face as she spoke to Taylor, Taylor still grimacing.
It took them both a few minutes to reach the stands once again. Ruby immediately hounded Azula.
"You can shoot lightning?! Since when can you shoot lightning?! Why didn't you tell us you could shoot lightning!!" Ruby squealed as her face was almost pressed against Azula's. Azula just shrugged.
"If I may, you've seen it. Since I was about 12 or so. And it was supposed to be some kind of trump card." Azula snorted in amusement before looking at Taylor with a sadistic smile, which made her grimace.
"Yes, no, please don't electrocute me again." Taylor said dryly, Azula laughed lightly.
"Besides, Izumi, you didn't seem surprised by my lightning." Azula said as she stared at me, I hummed lightly before shrugging.
"I had my suspicions, you've attended too many of Ruby's training sessions when she was getting help with her Thunder Breathing for it to be a coincidence." I said simply, Azula's eye twitched slightly.
"Wait what?" Ruby tilted her head in confusion. "If you wanted to learn Thunder Breathing so badly, why didn't you just ask him directly?" she asked directly, Azula sighed.
"Again, secret, trump card," Azula insisted before grimacing. "Although, now everyone knows, so…" Azula looked at me expectantly again. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, I'll teach you Thunder," I said playfully, Azula smiled slightly. "By the way Taylor, congratulations on making it to the finals, I can't wait for our match." I said with a smile. Ruby gasped.
"True! Congratulations Taylor!! That's amazing!! I can't wait to see you two fight each other!!" Ruby said, truly excited. She seemed to be about to continue speaking, but was stopped by the ringtone of a phone. We all immediately recognized it as Azula's phone and looked at her in unison.
Azula frowned and pulled out her phone, groaning loudly as she rejected the call without hesitation.
"It’s my annoying brother." Azula said simply before groaning once more as the phone rang again. Azula cancelled the call once more and quickly turned off the phone. "You'd expect him to get the hint right away." Azula huffed as she put her phone away. We all grimaced slightly, we knew what her relationship with her family was like so we didn't say anything.
"Is your family watching the tournament Ruby?" I asked suddenly, Ruby took the shot change without holding back, she began to bounce in place.
"Yes! Mom even attended! She must be somewhere in the stands! Too bad Aunt Raven was too busy to use her portal quirk to bring the rest of my family over, I wanted them to meet them." Ruby pouted.
"Oh? Is Summer around? We'll have to go say hi to her." I said immediately, Ruby nodded vigorously. Taylor snorted.
"Just try not to flirt with her again. She's still married," Taylor teased and I blushed lightly.
"Once! I only complimented her once!" I groaned in embarrassment. Actually the first time I met Summer I complimented her on her looks.
"I don't know, you looked at her a lot during that visit," Taylor added again. Ruby pouted to the side.
"Mom is off limits! Also! Everyone says I look like her, am I not enough for you?" Ruby asked, sounding slightly offended. I groaned loudly.
"Not you too Ruby." I looked at her betrayed. Ruby laughed lightly.
"Eeeeh, I didn't know you were a wife stealer and liked older women, should we watch out to see if you make a move against Professor Midnight?" Azula asked mockingly.
"Okay, I hope all three of you rot." I huffed annoyedly, the three girls laughed. I rolled my eyes as a smile also grew on my face.
"It's time." Taylor said as she looked at me, I hummed lightly before standing up.
"I suppose so, shall we go my lady?" I asked cordially as I extended my hand for her to take, Taylor snorted but extended her elbow for me to wrap my arm around.
"Of course my lord, allow me the chance to accompany you to your waiting room." Taylor played along earning laughter from Ruby beside us.
"Good luck to both of you!" Ruby greeted, Azula nodded in our direction. We both began walking towards the waiting rooms.
"I'm still upset that you used Shusui as a baseball bat, you even threw her." I scolded her, Taylor groaned.
"You did the same thing," Taylor replied dryly, I rolled my eyes.
"Do as I say, not as I do." Taylor snorted.
"Monkey see, monkey do," she replied, raising an eyebrow in her direction.
"Did you just call me a monkey?" I asked playfully, she smiled at me mockingly.
"If the banana fits," she added, letting out a loud laugh. Taylor blushed slightly, realizing the double meaning of what she had just said. "Not like that! Idiot! " She elbowed me in the ribs.
"Hey! I didn't say anything!" I said completely amused, Taylor groaned. I quickly calmed down while Taylor pouted. We both continued walking in silence.
"I want to fight against your full might," Taylor said suddenly, completely serious.
"Why?" I asked directly.
"I want to test myself against you, I want to see how far we are, how much further I have to go." Taylor said without hesitation, I sighed lightly. We continued walking in silence before nodding.
"Very well, I will do it," I said respecting her wishes, if that's what she wanted I could do it, it had been a while since I let loose in a fight. After all this wouldn't be completely boring. "Although, unfortunately I'm only allowed to use one sword." I added, it was really annoying, as an S rank, I had limitations on the items I could actually carry in order to give other people a chance. Nezu's orders.
"Still…thanks." Taylor thanked me with a small smile, I hummed lightly.
"I have to go to my room." I told Taylor, she tilted her head in confusion "Yubashiri would be completely destroyed if I started throwing punches at Shusui." Taylor's eyes widened.
"Oh" she said simply, I nodded.
"I'll go quickly, I'll be there on time." I said as I separated from her. Taylor nodded. With a small kiss we both parted.
I was practically moving at high speed through the UA campus, it took me just a few minutes to get to the dorms. Once inside I headed to my room and approached my swords.
Enma, Enma had to be the one. I quickly took it while leaving Yubashiri in his place. If Taylor wanted a fight without me holding back, Enma would be the one.
Then I took my time walking back to the stadium, I could hear Present Mic shouting, we hadn't been introduced yet so I had some free time left.
By the time I finally arrived at the stadium with Emma in hand, Present Mic's voice filled me once again.
"WE'VE ALREADY REACHED THE FINALS!! THE BEST STUDENTS AMONG THE UA ROOKIES WILL BE DECIDED HERE AND NOW!! "
"ON ONE HAND WE HAVE THE GIRL WHO CAUSES NIGHTMARES TO EVERYONE, YOU ALREADY KNOW HER AND YOU KNOW HER INSECTS, THE WALKING PLAGUE, THE BUG QUEEN, TAAYLOOOR HEEBEEEERRT!!!"
"ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE BOY OF THE MOMENT! UNDISPUTED WINNER SO FAR!! THERE IS NOTHING THAT HIS SWORD CANNOT CUT! HIS SWORD IS AN EXTENSION OF HIS BODY, SWORD PRINCE, IZUMII MIYAMURAA!!!"
"AND NOT ONLY THAT MY LISTENERS! IT IS NOT JUST A FIGHT BETWEEN CLASSMATES, BETWEEN FELLOW COMPANIONS!!! AMONG FRIENDS!!! NOT ONLY THAT THEY ARE COMMITTED!! THAT'S RIGHT PEOPLE!! A LOVERS FIGHT!! HOW EXCITING!!"
I snorted at that last bit , was it really necessary to reveal our marital status? From the roar of the crowd, it would seem so. There was no denying the effect I had on them.
Midnight approached as Taylor's bugs rapidly descended, Midnight glared at Taylor in warning but she ignored her. She focused her bugs on her sword. They quickly began to cut and eat away at all the web that had been covering her revealing Shusui to the world.
Once Shusui released the world, Taylor slowly pulled it out of its sheath.
"CONTESTANT HEBERT WILL FINALLY USE HER SWORD?! WILL WE FINALLY SEE WHAT SHE CAN DO?! THIS FIGHT PROMISES TO BE AMAZING!! AND IT'S A BLACK SWORD! "THIS IS A-A BLACK SWORD?! " I made a face at Present Mic's shriek. "I-ITS A BLACK SWORD! W-WITH A WAVY PATTERN, I-I NEED A MINUTE!! " Present Mic shrieked again.
Taylor was staring at me, almost saying 'I told you so' with her eyes knowing this would happen.
"I-I HAVE NO WORDS, PEOPLE! THE SWORD IN THE HANDS OF CONTESTANT HEBERT IS IDENTICAL TO SHUSUI HERSELF!! LEGENDARY SWORD OF SWORD GOD RYUMA!! WILL IT BE THE REAL SHUSUI?! "THAT SWORD WILL BE CONSIDERED A NATIONAL TREASURE THAT WAS THOUGHT TO BE LOST WHEN RYUMA RETIRED!? HEBERT IS RYUMA'S HEIR!?!?!"
The audience stood completely still, as if they didn't understand what they were seeing or hearing. Taylor took a deep breath and grabbed Shusui with both hands.
"Time to hunt, Shusui." Taylor said firmly, to my surprise, an aura completely enveloped the stadium, my eyes opened wide, it felt sharp, and I realized. Shusui herself responded to Taylor's words. Unbelievable.
The crowd finally got it all and erupted into cheers once more. Most of it was roars of joy, after all, Ryuma and Shusui were loved by the entire country, on par with All Might. Many people were devastated when he retired and practically disappeared. But I could hear some cries of outrage at Taylor, an American, who was using Shusui. But I ignored it, this wasn't the time to pay attention to them. All my attention went to Taylor. I took off my glasses and threw them out of the ring before tying my hair back.
I pulled Emma out of her pod. If Taylor did it, why couldn't I?
"Let's cut to the bottom of hell, Enma." The words came out of my mouth completely on their own, Enma warmed up in my hands and quickly her aura spread over the entire stadium immediately clashing with Shusui's.
My smile was painful because of how big it was.
"AA-DID I JUST HEAR CORRECTLY?! T-CONTESTANT MIYAMURA JUST SAID, E-ENMA!! ANOTHER LEGENDARY SWORD ESTABLISHED!! THIS IS AMAZING!! IT IS NOT ONLY A CLASH BETWEEN LOVERS, A CLASH BETWEEN TWO S-RANKS, BUT ALSO A CLASH BETWEEN HIGH QUALITY WEAPONS!! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT’S ONCE IN A LIFETIME!!! DON'T LOOK AWAY!! DON'T BLINK!! DON'T MISS ANYTHING THAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN HERE, LADIES!!
"Are you ready?!" Midnight asked, I noticed she was also excited for the fight, we both nodded. "Alright, com-"
"TIME!" All Might yelled as he fell from the sky next to Midnight. "LET ME REFEREE THIS FIGHT." All Might said seriously. Midnight looked shocked, she was about to retort when All Might continued speaking. "THEY'RE REAL, THOSE SWORDS, I WOULD RECOGNIZE SHUSUI'S FEELING ANYWHERE, IT'S THE SAME ONE THAT SHE GAVE ME WHEN I FAUGHT WITH RYUMA BY MY SIDE. AND ENMA'S AURA IS NOT FAR BEHIND. THEY’RE DANGEROUS." All Might said as he looked at us. "I'LL TAKE CARE OF KEEPING ALL THE DAMAGE OFF OF THE PUBLIC, SO YOU CAN FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH."
Midnight paused for a few seconds before nodding firmly, completely trusting in the decision of All Might, the No. 1 Hero, National-level Hunter and her co-worker, then quickly walked away towards the stands, though she immediately turned around to watch the match.
"AMAZING!! YOU HEARD IT PEOPLE!! ALL MIGHT JUST CONFIRMED THAT THEY ARE REALLY SHUSUI AND ENMA!! PLUS, HE'LL BE REPLACING MIDNIGHT AS THE REFEREE!!"
"ALRIGHT YOUNG PEOPLE, ARE YOU READY?!" All Might asked with a smile, we both nodded. "START!!"
