The match is fast and furious!

"Begin!" Midnight shouted, and Iida immediately charged at Tokoyami, and the bird headed young man let Dark Shadow erupt to intercept him.

"Back off, fool!" the sentient Quirk shouted, taking a swipe at Iida. Iida however was determined to win, and swerved slightly, executing a perfect high speed maneuver to avoid a direct hit, though his face was grazed by the shadowy claws, leaving three long, shallow gouges along his cheek.

Iida, without slowing down, performed a sharp turn, avoiding Dark Shadow and going directly for Tokoyami, running past him, and grabbing him by the back of his shirt, intending to run to the edge of the ring and throw him out of bounds.

"I don't think so!" Dark Shadow cried out, immediately stabbing his claws into the concrete, and stopping Iida's momentum before he could get halfway, holding on tight. Izuku paused, staring intently, deep in thought.

"...I know that look, you're plotting something," Momo noted to Izuku, who shrugged and smiled.

Iida grunted as his engine Quirk strained, and he kept pulling Tokoyami, who grunted, feeling like the very unwilling rope in a game of tug of war between how own Quirk and his opponent. Iida then decided he needed a lot more ****. "Recipro Burst!" he roared, his engines erupting with burning blue exhaust.

Tokoyami yelped along with Dark Shadow as Dark Shadow's claws were torn from the cement, allowing Iida to keep running, and he flung Tokoyami out of bounds.

"Winner by ring out! Tenya Iida!" Midnight shouted as the crowd cheered.

"...what the hell are these gym uniforms made of?" Tokoyami grumbled, mentally calling bullshit over the fact that his top hadn't torn before Dark Shadow's claws had been torn from the ground, and saved him from the loss.

"Given how powerful Quirks are, and these fights, I'm not surprised that these uniforms are made extremely durable. Probably with the help of other Quirks as well," Iida remarked, extending a hand to Tokoyami, who took it.

"...your arm okay?" Tokoyami inquired, noticing that the one Iida had used to grab him was twitching slightly.

"...pulled a muscle and nearly dislocated it," Iida admitted, grimacing. They headed back up as Midnight called another thirty minute recess.
