[author- I have to apologize. This fight might not be so great. It's just that Mirio's fighting style looks so good when watching it, but for me it's difficult to write down and make it seem so interesting. :(
This chapter also feels rushed because it is.
Now I'm going to take a nap. I stayed up all night for two days in a row and now I'm starting to get a headache.

The moment Nighteye yelled start, Mirio had disappeared from his current position, but that's only what it looked like. In reality, he had used his quirk to go underground and instantly reappear near the position he calculated where his opponent should be.
Easily sensing this, Madara took a couple steps back and watched as a red glove popped off from the ground. He could sense it, and feel the air in his surroundings. Mirio had intended to instantly take him out with that uppercut alone!
Madara himself of course doubted that he would be unable to fight from that attack, but what he's seen from the anime, Mirio was able to do it to all of Class 1-A. With a single punch to the gut, defeating them with ease in mere seconds.
'It's something I will never understand. In this world, it seems like people have stronger bodies, despite it not being apart of their quirk. To me, it doesn't make any sense, but maybe that's just because I missed something. Even then, Mirio being this physically strong is the result of his years of training.
His physique is leaning towards All Might's from when he was younger as well, which just makes the fact that he got robbed from 'One For All' even more obvious.'
Madara thought to himself as he continued to flawlessly and efficiently dodge every one of Mirio's assaults, but it was obvious to him that the blonde wasn't trying his hardest.
Yet.

"Sir Nighteye, Mirio is going at it more intensely than what I'm usually used to seeing, don't you think?" Off to the side, the light blue skinned sidekick asked.
"It may seem like that for you, but Mirio isn't even using any of his techniques. Right now, he's only attacking straight on. So basically, he's either trying to determine where Madara's strength is at currently, or he just wants to enjoy this battle and let it last, but I'm leaning towards the first option." Nighteye said, not removing his sight from the two students.
He's the one who trained the blonde, so he obviously knew him the best and recognized his habits during a spar.
'This is it Mirio...Your biggest challenge yet.'
—————
"You have great reflexes for a first year!" Mirio suddenly commented with an eye smile after another one of his punches failed to connect. He noticed how the Uchiha wasn't attacking at all, but he didn't get aggravated nor did he feel insulted for being 'underestimated'. Instead, he used this to his advantage!
The moment Madara backed away once again, Mirio took his chances and instantly upped his speed to appear in front of him, but Madara was of course able to see this. Surprisingly, he had only crossed his arms in-front of his c.h.e.s.t, causing Mirio's fist to land on his forearms.
"POWER!!" The blonde yelled as he watched the Uchiha skid back, but he wasn't finished yet as he disappeared once again underground!
"You sure do pack a punch, but it's severely lacking compared to the others I have faught." Sensing Mirio appearing behind him to kick his head, Madara grinned and brought his hands together. "Don't get too excited..."
Mirio has watched the Sports Festival where Madara for the first time, showed the world his powers and abilities. From what the blonde got out of it, it was basically something eye related, strength related and even elements. So right now, what just currently happened was something he did not expect at all! Neither did the two people off to the side.
'Ninja Art: Needle Jizo'
Madara's once soft spiky long hair formed into spikes and became hard as metal! It had formed around his body like protective armour, making it incapable for Mirio to get a good hit in.
Before the blonde could got stabbed in the legs with the multiple spikes, he phased through Madara's body and disappeared underground, reappearing a good distance a way.
Unfortunately, the spikes had turned into projectiles, shooting their way towards him.
'This is definitely a problem, but it's nothing I can't handle. How long can he use this move for? If it has no limit then it'll be difficult for me to get a good hit in.' Mirio thought to himself as he stood there and let all the spikes phase right through his body.
Once they stopped, he took his chances once again and lunged forward, but that was when it happened! Shocked, he was unable to react fast enough when Madara's fist connected right on his face, blasting him back into the wall.
"Aghh!" He grunted in pain.
———
"A clone!" Bubble Girl shouted with excitement as she watched as the battle turned up more.
"Yes, I completely forgot he had such an ability..." Nighteye honestly confessed.
———
Madara dispelled his clone and canceled his hair Jutsu. It was the first time he has ever used it on an opponent. He's seen this before in his previous life during the 'Naruto' anime with Jiraiya and thought it was a good idea if he could use it as well.
Being someone who had such long hair, wasn't it best to give it another purpose other than to make him look badass?
Seeing the blonde walking towards him once more, Madara grinned. He saw the red mark on the side of his face, obviously from his earlier punch. Even if he didn't use the Tsunade technique, his normal physical abilities were still more than enough to do damage, and there was no doubt that Mirio was currently hurting.
Meaning, this blondie was just walking it off, and judging by his facial expressions, he was now going to get serious!
"Finally Mirio. Are you actually going to start fighting now?"
The blonde stayed silent. His only response was rushing forward with his top speed, with Madara doing the same. It looked like their punches would meet half way together, but Mirio had suddenly phased underground once again!
Reappearing right in-front the Uchiha, he used a faint, looking like he was going to poke Madara's eyes out, but unfortunately, the first year wasn't phased at all.
With the intentions of winning this spar, he went along and tried connecting a punch to the stomach. He was greatly disappointed when his first met a little wooden wall that protected Madara, but Mirio's strength was nothing to scoff at. He was able to break right through it!
But that wasn't a problem at all for Madara. With his insane speed and reflexes, his position had suddenly and instantly shifted behind Mirio, giving him a punch right to his back.
Mirio once again released a sound of pain and grit his teeth. To not give himself any further damage, he was able to phase before he hit the ground, reappearing away from the Uchiha.
'Dammit, he was able to perfectly calculate when I would use my quirk, making me unable to phase right through the wood to punch his guts. It's frightening, his ability to observe how my power works. I wouldn't be surprised if he already knows about my weakness, but I do bet it's because of those eyes of his.'
Mirio thought to himself as he stood still and didn't make any further advancement. It was clear in his face that he was frustrated, and it wasn't hard to tell why.
'This is my most difficult fight yet. It feels like there's nothing I can use to catch him off guard. No matter where I go, he knows, and no matter what I throw at him, he counters with something stronger.
I haven't felt this way since those times I would spar with Sir Nighteye...'
"Can you continue dancing? What's the matter Mirio?" Madara asked with a slight sense of derision, watching as the blonde contemplated on what he should do next.
This is just the affect he had all the time against his opponents. Constantly overwhelm them as their confidence in winning lowers and lowers until it reaches zero.
But Madara knew that his words wouldn't affect Mirio so much. The boy was just too stubborn and determined...If this was an actual anime fight, Mirio would suddenly feel a rush of power and start miraculously beating Madara, but unfortunately for him, this was reality, and this was the day he would lose to a student 2 years younger than him.
'No...I won't give up!' Mirio yelled inside his head as he came up with a plan. If it failed, then that means he lost the match, but even then, he won't grow discouraged from it. Instead, he'll ask for a rematch and better himself.
"Madara!!" He screamed out as he rushed forward. He phased once again, sinking into the floor, but this time he planned to make sure to avoid the hair and go right for his face as fast as he could!
Madara had to admit, it was a good effort from Mirio, but unfortunately for him, nothing would work to bring him down. Yes, his phishing ability was strong and unique, but against his speed, sensing, and lightning quick reflexes, he won't be able to land a good hit unless he let him.
"You did well Mirio, but I'm going to have to stop it right here." The moment Mirio popped up from the ground, with his Sharingan, Madara was able to capture the subtle details and he noticed how the blonde would always hold in his breath.
So with speed unseen from the others, as soon as Mirio appeared, a fist had already landed on his face, blasting him back down and forming a moderate sized crater as dust started to fill up the room.
One might find it strange how Mirio didn't just phase through the ground to avoid any further damage, but the boy had lost consciousness the moment Madara punched him.
——————
After that, Bubble Girl had taken Mirio in a separate room to rest since he was out cold. Before she did that, she wanted to ask Madara for his autograph, but she knew she would get in trouble with Sir Nighteye if she did. So reluctantly, she contained herself.
Although sour about the room getting wrecked, Nighteye congratulated the Uchiha for his win, even though he knew it was likely. Having no reason to continue staying at the hero office since he literally only came here to spar, Madara left the building after fixing the room up.
It was at that moment he used transformation Jutsu seeing just how busy the streets were with loads of people walking around. With that, he decided to peacefully walk towards the Yaoyorozu mansion, and maybe spoil Momo when he gets there since he knew that she was still alone.
He had already texted her, asking about her well being and she confirmed that she was fine and was still training, so Madara had nothing to worry about. Especially when he has multiple clones guarding the house.
So he continued along towards the direction of where he lived, but that's when he received a notification from Rumi!
The message? Well let's just say Madara had instantly disappeared from where he stood and starting running towards the usual place he hasn't been to since internsh.i.p.s basically ended.
Arriving at a short time, Madara used Shunshin and appeared inside. The room had only lights on and all the curtains covered the windows, but it was still easy for him to look around.
Easy for him to feel how a n.a.k.e.d Rumi Usagiyama wrapped herself around him from behind as she laid kisses on his neck.
"Well, that was fast..."
