After Roboco won against Tenya, Ichika will be facing Momo in the next match. Meeting at the ring, Momo was very cautious of him. The match began with the two of them staring at each other for a minute while waiting who will attack first.
Momo's face turned red and she looked away.
"Momo, you can attack first." Ichika spoke and he tried to break the awkward atmosphere.
"I know that it's impossible for me to win this match against you. I'm trying not to get embarrassed when I lose to you."
Ichika scratched the back of his head, trying to figure out something.
Midnight at the sideline became annoyed of the romantic atmosphere she sensing between them.
"Damn it! Just start the fight already! Grrrrrr!"
Ichika finally thought something and he opened a wormhole as he took out two lightsaber.
"How about we settle this match with the duel we played together since we're children?"
"Huh?"
Ichika passed one lightsaber to Momo and she lit it up, taking a sword stance.
"This brings back memories. Hehehe... Even though, you created this thing, I'm using it better than you."
"Hey! You've been practicing weapon arts for a long time! Of course, I'm at disadvantage!"
Ichika lit up his lightsaber and the two of them cross sword in the middle of the ring, dodging while thrusting. Both of them are having fun fighting.
When Momo found an opening from Ichika's attack, she was about to point her lightsaber on his neck when her sword turned off itself.
"Eh?"
Ichika's sword was pointed close to her neck instead while smiling smugly.
"Momo, you still have a lot of things to learn. Do you think I will fight a losing battle?"
"Winner! Yagi Ichika!" Midnight declared.
When Ichika sighed and turned off his sword away, Momo turned red and she pouted.
"Ichika!"
She grabbed him in the collar and shook him.
"You tricked me! You're so unfair!"
"Hahaha!"
When Momo and Ichika left the ring, the next match was between Eijiro and Katsuki. The two of them will battle each other in the ring to determine the final contender in the top four.
Eijiro managed to give Katsuki a more troublesome time than Ochaco did. However, after Katsuki injured Eijiro with an Explosion, Katsuki realized Eijiro's Quirk weakness that Eijiro's Hardening weakens with consecutive strikes. Katsuki then assaulted Eijiro with a continuous barrage of Explosion which greatly wounds Eijiro and knocked him out, making Katsuki the winner.

The Top Four of the battle tournament event are Shoto, Roboco, Ichika, and now Katsuki.
The first match of the semi-finals is Shoto versus Roboco. The match began with Shoto launching an ice attack at Roboco, but Roboco dodges Shoto's attack by jumping into the air with the booster below her feet and palms.
Roboco shoots beam from both of her palm and Shoto quickly created wall of ice to cover himself but it was shattered easily.
"Tch!"
Shoto was about to create another ice wall when he saw several small missiles launching from Roboco's back.
"Eh?"
Roboco aimed at Shoto, pointing all of her weapon to him.
*Launching, Jericho Missile--*
"STOP! STOP! STOP!"
She was interrupted by Midnight.
"Roboco, you're disqualified from using unregistered weapons for this event! Todoroki Shoto will declared the winner!"
Roboco retracted all of her weapons as she descended down to the ring.
*I lost...*
She left the ring with sad expression then she met with Ichika who's waiting at the entrance.
*Sorry, Father...*
She jumped and hugged him
*
"It's okay. You already did well. It's purely my fault for installing too dangerous weapons on you. I'll take them off once when everything is finished and I will turn you into a normal girl."
*Mm...* Roboco nodded.
The second match of the third round begins. It is Ichika versus Katsuki. Unlike his previous matches, Katsuki is at a major disadvantage because he never once won against him in a battle. He always ends up losing and turning into a stool for Ichika.
"Ichika!"
Ichika was always confident of his victory against Katsuki but he something big is coming out and he was sweating profusely.
"Shit! Why it has to be now?! My daughter squished my stomach to hard with her hug." he mumbled.
His stomach hurts so bad that he has to go to the restroom quickly.
When the match started, Katsuki rushed towards Ichika while trying to predict his next move and counter it. Ichika smiled conceitedly which surprised Katsuki and he immediately stopped and moved away from him.
"Huh?"
Ichika turned around unable to endure it and ran down from the ring which made him out of bounds and lose the match.
"Sorry, I have to take a shit. Let's settle this next time, Kacchan!"
Everyone from the audience was speechless as Midnight declared Katsuki as the winner.
"Winner... Bakugou Katsuki..."
This pissed off Katsuki for unable to accept his victory and he went nuts at the ring.
"DAMN YOU, ICHIKA!!!"
Shoto waits in the waiting room for his final match to begin. Shoto thinks about Izuku's words that his powers are his and only his. Shoto admits that he did not think that way before he fought Izuku. The door slams open, revealing Katsuki, who barged into the wrong room. Shoto doesn't pay attention to Katsuki, much to Katsuki's annoyance. Katsuki complains about Shoto's attitude towards a fellow finalist.
Shoto continues to ignore him until Katsuki uses a small Explosion on the table to get his attention. Shoto says to Katsuki that Izuku is the type of person who is compelled to drag out peoples' problems and help them. Shoto asks Katsuki, as Izuku's childhood friend, if Izuku has always been the type of person compelled to help people's problems.
Katsuki remembers how Izuku tried to help him in their childhood, Furious, Katsuki angrily kicks the table over, telling Shoto that he does not care about Izuku and doesn't care about Shoto's problems or feelings. Before he leaves, Katsuki tells Shoto to give everything he's got and that he will make Izuku bow before him when he reaches the top.
The final match of the tournament event between Katsuki and Shoto begins. Shoto makes his move first and attacks Katsuki with a huge pillar of ice, trying to end the fight quickly. However, Katsuki thaws himself out with an Explosion. After breaking out of Shoto's ice, Katsuki uses some Explosions to somersault himself into the air. While in the air, Katsuki grabs Shoto's hair and shirt and throws Shoto onto the ground, but Shoto creates an ice wall behind himself to prevent himself from being thrown out of the ring. Katsuki immediately attacks Shoto again with an Explosion. Shoto dodges Katsuki's Explosion and he counters by throwing Katsuki into his ice wall while in the process throws himself out of harm's way.
Katsuki becomes angry at Shoto for not using his full power, telling Shoto to not stand in front of him if he is not fighting to win. Katsuki prepares his next attack by jumping into the air and spinning himself around with two Explosions in his hands. As Katsuki makes his preparations, Shoto is in deep thought of whether to use his left side or not having trouble deciding if it is the right choice to use it.
Shoto admits to himself that since fighting Izuku he is struggling with what to do and how he should proceed. Shoto is confused and conflicted from his deep thinking. After Izuku yells at Shoto to keep fighting, Shoto decides to get his head in the game and activates his left side. After activating his left side, Shoto remembers the trauma of his mother's reaction to his fire power and becomes disheartened, causing him to deactivate his fire power. Katsuki's preparations are complete and after gaining momentum for his explosions from spinning, attacks Shoto with his move, Howitzer Impact, an explosive tornado that hits Shoto.
After the smoke clears, Shoto is out of bounds, seemingly knocked out. A furious Katsuki walks to Shoto and grabs him by his shirt, dissatisfied with Shoto's performance. However, Katsuki is knocked out by Midnight's perfume before he can do anything to Shoto. Because he went out of bounds, Shoto loses and Katsuki is declared the winner of the final match and tournament event as well as the winner of U.A.'s Freshmen Sports Festival.
