“Wh--!?”

Just an instant Mio’s face BLOOMED red. What? WHAT? HOW DID--?! How on Earth did she know this?! Did someone see?! Were there cameras?! Uzu tell her!? (Oh, if he did he was in BIG trouble. Whatever happened to never ‘Kiss and Tell’?!) Suddenly being pinned back against this wall---even by someone far smaller like Miss Nonon---was becoming highly suffocating.

“...I...well, I...I mean, ah..I....” She stammered. No words would come. Nothing was coming to save her. Only adding to the sheer, hilarious irony of such a tiny girl easily blocking down her taller opponent. A girl who should’ve been perfectly keeping her composure locked in!

“Uzu...--ah, I m-mean, S-Sanageyama, I...” Despite her absolutely bashful stuttering that soft, overjoyed grin scarcely fades with its beaming brightness, “T...This is so...”

What on Earth is happening? The young lady usually knows how to keep her words so perfectly placed together. Till now. With everything inside her feeling as if it all woven together in a jumbled, jittery, yet fuzzy mess. Words have melted away, missing in the depths of her dizzy thoughts. Nothing will form properly. Somehow, by a miracle, she does.

“Was I truly the only 2-Star who did not honestly fight Ryuko Matoi because I had enough of a brain cell to know I would absolutely, positively, and utterly LOSE without question?” 

“...Not to mention the only one who did not debase myself or my already plummeting moral compass by attempting weak tactics such as---oh, gee, I don’t know---kidnapping poor Mako Mankanshoku for the umpteenth time every Goddamn week? Have some originally... ”
