A second clash of rising stars! Deku vs Kotone!

[Bare]

Deku had been caught off guard by Koto's impressive martial arts skills in their first bout. She was skilled, incredibly so and he would be the first to admit that. But he wouldn't be caught off guard by her skills twice in a row. No he had watched the tapes, not only of their first bout, but of Koto's other matches as well and he was fairly confident in his knowledge of her skills.

It was with this knowledge that he had managed to catch the girl with a vicious kick that clearly had her reeling. 'Sorry Koto, but I plan on winning this.' Deku thought to himself before promptly pulling the girl's legs up into a Texas Cloverleaf submission. Fully intending on trying to get the submission here and now before she could figure a way out!

Unfortunately for Deku however Koto wasn't so easy to give in. After only a few moments of her pretty voice crying out in pain Deku then felt the two moving, meaning that Koto was crawling her way gradually towards the ropes. 'Not good!' Deku thought to himself, pulling on the hold further, trying to make the girl give in but having no such luck. Instead Deku would focus on keeping the submission on all the way until Koto reached the ropes. Once she did he would of course release the hold and stand up, panting softly as he would turn and give the girl a bit of space to get back up.

From two matches that she's had with Deku, Koto already knew that he was just too much of a powerful enemy, he was smart, skilled and fast. For that, she wasn't willing to go easy on this match all until this point right here. Now she was feeling his strength while he bent her leg in a painful submission.

She tried to crawl to the ropes and get out of his grip, although this would only be countered by him, adding some pressure to her ankle, amping up the pain in her joint and making her drown a scream of despair. "GGGGRRRRHRHHHH!!! C-C'moooon...!" Still, if she wanted to get out of it, she would need to reach those ropes.

If she managed to do it, the second Izuku let go of her leg, she would reach out to her leg and rub it with her hands, sitting and feeling the soreness. Still, she wasn't intending on staying down on her ass all day. Koto was certain he would give her enough time to get up from the ground slowly.

Off the bat Deku knew how skilled Koto was. In terms of physicality and technique he felt confident enough to say they were relatively even with him having a slight edge. But Kotone had a lot more finesse, and whether he admitted to it or not much more confidence which could be a major difference maker in matches.

Still even with that in mind it only served as motivation for Deku to try and beat Kotone, and luckily he had a solid position to at least make that more possible with the cloverleaf submission he had locked on her. Even with the hold though Deku was finding it hard to keep Kotone down since no matter what he did she just seemed to keep pushing herself closer and closer to the ropes until she finally managed to grab them!

'Dang.' He thought to himself before quickly following the directions of the ref to undo his submission from Kotone. Getting up Deku would take a few steps back before bouncing on his heels, preparing himself for the match to continue the moment Kotone was back on her feet!
