ow these were the challenges Farrin was waiting for. A proper scrap. No gamified objectives. Just the singular goal of overcoming one's enemies in a contest of skill and ability. The ultimate test. 

He had signed up for the challenge several times over and had many matches orchestrated. It appeared the festival hosts were playing with him, dangling the carrot just beyond one challenge, then swinging it beyond another and another. No more. He had several matches today alone. And he couldn't have asked for a more fitting ally on his team for the two vs. two brawls. 

"Oi!" he waved to Freja, "Long time no see, lass." 

He had stories to tell, including how some troublemakers lured him into a trap using her name as a threat, but that would have to wait. Across the arena stood their opposition. One fella in a tailcoat or some such, and a woman in armor. Neither of them rang any bells, meaning their quirks were anyone's guess. 

"Eh, yuh' mind leavin' the fella ta' me? I dun' very much like hittin' girls." 

It was necessary in this line of work, but if Farrin could avoid it, he did. Some of those traditional values he was raised with turned his stomach when he had to take a swing at a woman, even if his mother hammered it into his head that villains came in all genders and makes. Unfortunately for him, even if Freja agreed, it wasn't entirely up to them.

The moment the bell rang, the armored warrior charged Farrin. She flung herself across the arena at absurd speeds. He didn't know her, but Farrin was certainly on her radar. Speed aiming for speed. "There goes that," Farrin muttered, cranking up his quirk and blasting toward the girl in kind.

[Freja Helt]

After her journey back to Denmark, everything she had been through, from confronting her past to growing closer with Sumi... Suddenly, standing in this Sports Festival arena which she had been so anxious about earlier in the year felt almost nostalgic. ''You can say that again! How have you been, Farrin?'' She waved back with her free hand while the other clutched her bat. She wished they had more time to sit down and talk and really just catch up on what they had been up to, but unfortunately that wasn't why they were here. ''That suits me just fine.'' She smiled, looking over at Farrin. ''Are you sure you're fine teaming with me? I might hold you back.'' She teased, knowing full well that unlike other students, he didn't subscribe to the whole 'your quirk is everything' sort of mindset.

She didn't recognize their opponents, but chances were they didn't know who she was either. Farrin? Well, he was kind of too talented for his own good. At this rate she was heading into the match expecting them to know who he was, or at least to have heard rumors about the time turner. ''I'm a woman so that'd make it fair, right? In here we can choose our opponents after all.'' The armor immediately caught her eye. Would it feel like sparring with Masao-senpai? If so, she might know of a couple ways to attempt to bypass the armor.

As soon as the bell rang Freja watched her desired opponent pivot and immediately head for Farrin. ''H-Hey wait a minute!'' She exclaimed, caught fully unprepared by such a simple bait and switch. Now that she was seeing her move, Freja was kind of relieved she wasn't squaring up against the armored one. Who would have thought she could move that fast?

''Guess that leaves us to fight.'' She spoke up, looking to the guy in the tailcoat. ''I'm Freja Helt. Let's do our best!'' She smiled confidently. Not because she expected Farrin to carry them to victory, but because this was one of the first times in a long time where she was fighting for fun and not for survival. She readied her bat and once the guy didn't come at her she simply started her charge. Only one way to find out what kind of a power he had, and that was by getting him to use it.

Assuming she even got within range, Freja would try to hit the guy with her bat once she got within striking distance.

atch up would have to wait. He had a dozen questions for her, and honestly, seeing another friendly face would do him some good. Every hour, every minute, every second was spent training. His progress was undeniable, but it felt like trading flesh for steel. Steel was stronger, and he often told himself that's all that mattered, but in quieter moments, he knew something was wrong. The more machine, the less man. 

And now excitement stretched his smirk into a full-blown smile. He wanted this fight, one where the stakes weren't people's lives. The duality was remarkable. A proper, friendly scrap with a good friend at his side. 

"Hol' me back?" He chuckled, "Yuh' stepped up when we were in the shite. Like real shite. This'll be nothin'."

Okay, maybe he shouldn't have said that. Before he could respond any further, the armored woman was on him, wearing a sardonic smirk. Pride and scorn meshed together into sheer determination. He knew the feeling, but she had her eyes set on him. 

"The name's Speed Demon," he shouted, launching a salvo of jabs with her armored gauntlet, "best remember it. I'll prove I'm the fastest on campus once and for all!" 

"Wha?" Farrin shot back, swatting her jabs away with his arm. 

There were a few solid runners among his peers, but he didn't know of any "Speed Demon." A pretty straightforward name. He would have to disappoint her. 

"Sorry, lass. You'll have ta' settle fer' a silver medal!" 

Farrin dropped low for a sweeping kick. His heel cracked against her shins and knocked her over. Zero hesitation, he pushed the assault, throwing a hard right jab her way.  

Meanwhile, on the other end of the ring, the student in the tailcoat would hold his ground as Freja charged. "A pleasure to make your acquaintance, lady Helt," he spoke with pristine punctuation and calm, yet was clearly a foreign student as well. He clapped his hands, "You may call me Terminus." Freja's bat would pass straight through him. He clapped his hand again, then threw a punch her way. If it landed, it would feel as though his hands were made of stone.

''Right?'' She chuckled right back, putting a hand on her hip. ''I can't help but feel like we did this all backwards, like shouldn't we have been doing big tournament fights like this one before having to fend for our lives.'' And although those fights they had been through together, fighting villains just to stay alive, had been traumatic in their own right, it was sort of nice to be able to look back at them and at least smile or joke about it.

Anyway, seemed like that was about all the joking around they got to do. 'Speed Demon'? But that armor looked like it would weigh anyone down who didn't workout like crazy! Maybe it was luck, no, fate that Farrin ended up facing her. If he played his cards right, he could most likely slow her down in some way and get the upper hand... Wait, she was zoning out in the middle of a fight.

''Oh, uh, pleasure to meet you, Terminus!'' Her own opponent kind of left her a bit dumbstruck. She wasn't expecting such a formal and polite answer, maybe she had really just gotten used to how informal people were in Denmark on her return trip? ''Huh-'' Either her eyes were playing tricks on her or her aim was off. In the instant she struck him she watched her bat phase right through Terminus. That was a surefire hit! How could she have missed? Was that related to his quirk? It was a surprise to be sure, but not too scary. After all, if he's becoming impervious to attacks, that also meant his strikes would go through her, right? Like a ghost that can drift through walls, but also floats through people as a result. Just in case she raised her bat to help defend herself, and she was glad she did as the moment his strike connected with her she was sent tumbling backwards.

''Ow, ow ow...'' She winced as she sat back up. It had to be related to the clapping somehow.

She needed to test further.

Jumping back up to her feet she aimed the tip of her bat at Terminus's midsection and fired, trying to strike him from afar. What he did next would determine how she was going to go about besting him.

here Farrin ran, the Speed Demon followed. The space between them was a blur of flying fists. She wasn't only fast but deceptively strong. All that armor would have weighed another combatant down, but she moved in it like a second skin. She wasn't infallible, though. Nobody was. Speedy left jabs only grazed her armored torso, and the hard-hitting right cross shots were deflected away. But, as difficult as it was to land a meaningful blow, her offensive proved just as fruitless. 

Farrin swatted every swipe. An open-palm strike stuck naught but air, Farrin dodging the shot, but shew as quick to spin into a kick. Farrin leaped above her leg and replied in kind with a kick of his own. The blow landed with a resounding thud, his boot against her armor. She recoiled and was knocked back two steps. An opening! Farrin pressed the attack, kicking off the air with the precise use of temporal acceleration to cause some thrust beneath his boots. It wasn't something he could do for long, but one kick shot him in her direction, a balled-up fist leading the way as he closed the distance. 

On the other end of the arena, Terminus lifted his hands and prepared to clap again. His eyebrows rose, and his eyes widened briefly as one hand was tugged away. He was heavy, for certain, but the grapple latched onto his arm and pulled him forward, off balance, before he could clap again. 

"Clever," he said, eyeing the grapple line.

Unfortunately, he grabbed at the cable and tugged at it. She was onto something with his quirk. The clapping was a prerequisite to something. If she wanted to disturb the process, he would try using her efforts to his advantage. He would attempt to draw her into a clothesline. He might take one of their fighters out early if it landed with enough force, freeing him up to help Speed Demon.

[Freja Helt]

Man, Farrin and Speed Demon were at each other's throats, or she had to assume as much since she was locked in her own fight and could barely make out what they were doing at the speed they were zooming around at. As much as she would love to sit back, watch and learn from their match, she had a feeling Terminus wasn't going to let her.

What bothered her about his power was that he clapped to seemingly make himself intangible when she swung her bat at him. However, the blow she took just now felt hard, much harder than your average person, almost like he was made of stone or something. Then... If he really was that durable, why even bother to avoid her attack? Was he scared of her bat? Maybe that was the key to beating him. Unfortunately for her, she wasn't exactly some quirked-up fighter who could throw punches that folded cars or whatever quirkers were up to. This meant that while her bat could most likely harm Terminus, it was also going to make all her attacks predictable unless she could out speed or outsmart him. So then why was she using her surprise grappling hook attack so blatantly and so obviously throwing away her element of surprise?

To put it simply, it was bait.

''W-Wait!!'' When he tugged on the cable she knew she was doing something right. If she couldn't overwhelm him with speed, she simply needed him to think he was winning until the very last second, make him confident that he didn't need to clap and use his power, but could instead strike her at full force. It was a stupid risky gamble, but it wasn't the first time she had fought alongside Farrin and taken big risks.

Pretending to be surprised by his sudden show of strength, she struggled for the first couple of seconds or so before he pulled her towards him at high speeds. This was the moment of truth. He hadn't clapped to make himself intangible yet, so there was a good chance she could hurt him. Once she was about halfway towards Terminus, Freja engaged the grappling hook mechanic on her bat and began reeling in the cable, it would give his hand the equivalent of a mild rope burn, nothing too drastic, but it would also speed up her advance towards him significantly. Then, skidding along the floor, she lowered her body to slip under his clothesline, having fully retracted the grappling hook by the time she slid up behind him and leapt forward to try and strike a blow against his back. If she was lucky, she could out speed the clap.

hunder struck. Or so it sounded. It was actually Farrin's fist slamming home against Speed Demon's armor. Cracks spiraled around her cuirass, and the armor crumbled, revealing the white tunic below. Awestruck, she eyed the metal fragments as they clattered uselessly against the tile ground. 

"Hope yuh' can take a hit without it," Farrin said, smirking.

His confidence was entirely on display. While Chronokinesis didn't pump his muscles with superhuman strength directly, stretching one hour of training out enough that it felt like a day certainly improved his physicality. Now imagine working out like that for a solid six hours, minimum, most days of the week. He cultivated his strength through superhuman training. Different means to achieve a similar, desired result. The point being: Farrin hit fecking hard. 

Still, the Speed Demon didn't wear the markings of defeat yet. Her gaze met his, and then she was gone. A sweep of the leg in that one moment he was focused on his handiwork, and Farrin lost his footing. He fell onto his back, her fist already covering the distance between them for a follow-up strike.

"Don't get cocky—this isn't over!" She shouted. 

Terminus's situation was quite the opposite. An apparent victory was snatched right out from under him. His arm swept through the air, ready to knock Freja's block off—or send her flying out of the arena, at least, but there was no contact. She slid right beneath his arm. Even if he wanted to clap and shift density, the receding grapple line pulled one arm away from the other. Then came the molly-whopping. The grapple line fully receded, but his hands couldn't reach on time. His stone-like skin was tough, but the bat smashed against his back, sending him tumbling forward into a roll. 

Terminus jammed his fist into the arena floor, cutting his momentum before risking any fall outside the arena himself. With the moment settling, the pain set in. His back felt like it was on fire, and the exact spot where the bat connected was a pulsating inferno. He grit his teeth, and pushed off the ground. "Credit where it's due, lady Helt. But I won't be making such a mistake again!" He shouted, biting back the pain. 

Terminus charged, but as he closed in on Freja, he spun, pulling off his coat and throwing it in her direction. He clapped three times, hoping the coat would obscure her vision. Then, he punched! If she tried to counterattack at that moment, he would wait for the bat to bypass his intangible state, then clap again and try to push the offensive, throwing another hard jab her way.

She was panting by the time Terminus stood back up to face her. All that work for one hit, this guy was insanely tough. She couldn't help but wonder how much better Farrin might handle this guy, but then again... One wayward glance and she could catch a glimpse of the speed hell he was going through and she knew she wouldn't last long against an opponent like that either. Was the fact that she was quirkless finally catching up to her? ''Oh yeah?'' She smiled, feeling a little cocky. Maybe it was the arena and the whole show of it but she couldn't resist. ''It'd be real nice if you did.'' She shouted back, taking time to respond to him so that she would get just a few more precious seconds to rest her body and catch her breath.

She raised her bat once more and got ready as he charged at her this time. What she wasn't ready for was the coat being thrown in her face. Her eyes widened as she realized what was about to happen, and rather than shield herself, she once again fell back on playing it reckless. Aiming the tip of her bat so that the hook would shoot past Terminus, Freja fired in what just looked like another missed shot to the observers. Then she held onto her bat for dear life and braced as his fist slammed into her, knocking the air clean out of her lungs as she collapsed on the arena floor. Gasping she looked up at him and through a weak smile she repeated what he had told her. ''Credit where it's due, Mr. Terminus... But I won't be making such a mistake again..''

As he laid there she wondered whether Farrin would be upset with her or not if she lost to this guy. In an urban environment she was a lot more of a practiced fighter, but she felt so defenseless out here in the ring. It took a bit of effort, but eventually she got back up to her feet too. ''Hey Farrin! If I hit you uh, sorry!'' She called out. Then she charged forward and took a swing at Terminus, expecting him to either tank it or go intangible. It finally occurred to her how she might have a shot at winning.

Multiple attacks.

After her first bat swing, assuming Terminus thought he could get her before she could perform a whole swing again, Freja yanked on the bat, manipulating the grappling hook wire to swing back up Terminus like a whip. It was rough, and way less practiced than her actual bat skills, but hopefully it would catch him off guard and make the fight way less predictable for him and his defensive quirk.

 whirlwind blew across the arena, Farrin and the Speed Demon moving like blurs across the field. The exchange was savage as it was swift. The Speed Demon laid into Farrin's shin and landed a few follow-ups against his chest and shoulders, but the Time-Turner returned fire, landing a cross jab right in her gut, then threw a head butt directly into her chin.

The Speed Demon stumbled, and there was his opening. Farrin pressed the attack. A flurry of left-handed jabs battered her defense and scored more meaningful damage. Her shoulders dropped, and her stance swayed. Farrin swept his leg for hers, ready to take her off her feet, but she recoiled. At that moment, he lunged ahead, latched onto her arm, then spun the Speed Demon about and launched her in Freja's direction. 

Hit him? Nope. "Batter up!" He was lining up their opponents for Freja so she could strike them both out.

Terminus had tried to shift again, capitalizing on the previous hit. He wore a smile, all teeth. "Play your best game, Ms. Helt. I guarantee I'll still come out on top!" He shouted confidently in his charge. 

But the cable Freja fired wrapped around his shoulders as he reverted to his sturdier form. As he was drawn in, he was met by Speed Demon, soaring through the air. The collision threw him off course, exposing the duo to Freja's bat barrage. They were hammered up and down. This time, there was no retaliation. One more heavy-handed strike threatened to knock both opponents out of the ring.

She felt like falling onto her back and taking a big nap then and there, but thanks to Farrin's words and actions she remembered why they were here. They were here to perform and do their best. To prove that they could become heroes too! Grinning, she called out to Farrin. ''Thank you, Oberon!'' Taking a step back she wound up her next swing as she smiled up at Terminus. In a fair one on one fight there was no way she would have won against him. Unfortunately for him, her ally in this competition was Farrin. ''Sorry!'' She called out before taking one, final, heavy swing at Speed Demon and Terminus, hoping to send them flying out of the ring for good.

Having put her all behind the swing also meant that the moment she had performed it she practically stumbled and fell over herself. It happened so fast that she couldn't make out the result of her swing, and thus the match in general. Panting, she felt all the pain catch up with her body as she turned to look over at Farrin weakly. ''Hey, Farrin...'' She held up a shaky thumbs up. ''Are you okay? Are you hurt?'' She was probably way more battered and tired than he was, but she knew he had a tendency to play tough too. She slowly pushed herself up from her stomach and turned her head to look at their opponents. ''Did we win?''

hunderous applause. A standing ovation even. The crowds stood from their seats in an uproar as Freja's bat caught Terminus and rocketed him away. Speed Demon entangled with her ally's stony form after Farrin threw her, and together, they were lobbed over the edge of the arena. A double ring out! 

Farrin exhaled, tenseness leaving his body. Adrenaline too. Pain pulsed in his arms and shoulders——everywhere Speed Demon had landed a blow. The body was a magical thing; it could mute pain so efficiently while taking a beating. But when it came back, it felt like a hammer had been taken to the bone. 

"Yeah, I'll be okay," he said, leaning back and pushing his hands against his lower spine until his back cracked—instant relief. "N' yeah, yuh' knocked that one... outta the park. We won!" he said, delivering the corny baseball pun before declaring their victory.

 He stepped into the arena looking for another challenge to overcome, but with the fight behind them, more than anything, he looked forward to catching up with Freja. As committed to training as he was, friendly faces were in short supply. It was pretty much Josie and Kenta, and now Freja again! 

"I think we should get ourselves look over ta' heal up any injuries, then maybe grab somethin' eat after?" 

Either way, the match was over. Another W pulled from the Sports Festival and one step closer to proving himself the hero he knew he could be!

Whew, she hadn't fought that hard in a while. Most sparring matches here at the school were friendly and restrained, and fighting David and his Debt Collector quirk back in Denmark was more about escape and survival than it was about victory. ''A certified homerun!'' She laughed at Farrin's corny pun, having missed not just hanging out with him, but fighting alongside him like this. To her there was a real sense that they were 'brothers in arms' or something like that, with all that they had been through... Only, she would be more like a sister in arms in this case...

Watching him lean until his back cracked looked both satisfying and painful, and Freja decided she should probably stretch some joints and muscles too. ''That sounds perfect! I'm not hurting bad or anything, but I'm definitely gonna feel it tomorrow.'' She brushed that thought aside rather quickly, though. In the end, hunger won out over her need to rest up. ''What are you thinking of getting? I like to get something with lots of carbs after a big day to celebrate.'' She grinned, finally having a moment to gush to Farrin as they walked and talked. ''Also is it just me or did you get faster?! I could hardly follow what was going on, on your end! Did the super move class pay off?'' She had missed this place. The atmosphere, the people... It was good to be back again.
