One-on-One Tournament Quarter Finals
Sora Higurashi vs Shoto Todoroki
Ojiro Mashirao vs Tenya Iida
Izuku Midoriya vs Fumikage Tokoyami
Ejiro Kirishima vs Katsuki Bakugo
Sora and Todoroki were now facing each other as Mic announced them, Sora and Todoroki weren't listening as Sora spoke "Todoroki-kun, if you could please use your fire side, I would like to have my opponent to fight will his full power instead of half power"
Todoroki shook his head "I apologize.. but due to my past I cannot do that.."
Sora was disappointed as he sighed and sat down on an invisible chair shocking everyone especially Todoroki as Sora took his phone out and started texting Midoriya, flirting with him as he tried to convince Sora to take the fight seriously as Todoroki yelled, somehow, he didn't know why but.. he was pissed that he wasn't taking him seriously
"Stand up!! Face me seriously" Todoroki sent a wave of ice towards Sora but Sora used his quirk and sent a high pitched yell towards the ice as the ice shattered
"No thanks, I'd rather text Izuku instead of fight against someone I know I'll win against, after all as long as you just use ice I can shatter it with my high pitched voice, that's why I wanted you to use your fire side"
Todoroki was silent as he gritted his teeth and was about to say something about Sora interrupted him
"Todoroki-kun, I'm asking you to use YOUR fire side, not Endeavor's, Not his fire, Not his Hell Flame but your Half Hot, Half Cold, Your fire, Your power"
Sora said as Todoroki looked at him surprised, Sora was right, He wasn't asking for Endeavor's power but his, He wasn't asking for Hell Flame but for Half Hot, Half Cold, Todoroki stood still for a minute as he activated his fire side, Sora stood up and got on guard as Todoroki made ice around his side of the arena then the ice started to melt instantly as Todoroki used his fire side shooting it at Sora, who was standing still as Cementoss made walls infront of Todoroki's attack to lessen the impact as Sora smiled like normal as the arena could feel the impact of Todoroki's ice and flame as dust covered the arena, the dust started clearing as they see Todoroki standing while Sora was gone, He wasn't seen as Midnight went to check
"Higurashi is absent, Meaning the winner by default is-"
Midnight was about to announce that Todoroki is the winner but they suddenly hear Sora's voice, singing, Everyone looked around but then they see Sora behind Todoroki, He turned around but it was too late, Sora punched Todoroki in the face, causing him to step back and Sora started to sing
"Ten thousand reasons to give up..
Too many words that piled up..
But you refuse to try and mend~
Your broken past before the end
Your heart's too hard to understand
That sands of time slipped through your hands..!"
Sora's other first was closed as he opened it, the sand and dirtbhe managed to get slowly slipped through his hand
"And no excuses can erase
The scars of time left on your face"
Sora placed his hand on his face where Todoroki's scar is, Sora smile and started to slowly walk towards Todoroki, who was listening to him sing but Todoroki gritted his teeth and sent a wave of ice towards Sora
"If it's too hard to forgive..
Then just give..?
Let go of the weight that won't let you live..!"
The ice hit Sora in his side but he didn't care, he continued to walk towards Todoroki as Todoroki slowly stepped backwards, needing to come up with a plan to stop Sora while Sora looked towards Todoroki then to the side at Endeavor as the cameras caught Sora singing, wondering why he decided to sing during a battle but Endeavor knew, He wasn't sure but he somehow knew that those words, those lyrics, were for him and Todoroki
"Why keep playing this sad game
Of who should really take the blame..
The mеmories will fade away
They'rе growing further everyday
You want the stream to change its course
Before it floods you with remorse
You only need to hit the brakes
To free yourself of your mistakes"
Todoroki continued to send wave of ice one after another, trying to stop Sora but no matter how many time Todoroki used his quirk Sora would either just take the hit or dodge, Todoroki saw that he was about to go out of bounds as Sora stopped infront of Todoroki
"If it's too hard to forgive..
Then just give..?
Let go of the weight that won't let you live..!"
Sora gently pushed Todoroki back and Todoroki didn't resist, He finally understood the words of Sora's song, He was telling him to forgive but never forget, forgive the person who hurt him in the past but never forget the experience
"Never forget your past.. because that experience, that will to fight, it's the will to live, the will of a hero"
The crowd cheered at the great battle, not understanding what Sora's song meant as Midnight announced "Todoroki is out of bounds, The winner is Higurashi"
Sora went to Todoroki and smiled "Why didn't you fight back?"
Todoroki was silent then sighed "I could ask you the same thing"
Todoroki was about to walk away but Sora place his arm around his neck, Sora smiled and they walked off with each other as Mic announced the next match would start as soon as Cementoss fixes the arena, Todoroki and Sora went to Recovery Girl's office to get healed while Endeavor went to the hall to make a phone call, His sidekick, Burnin' answer
"Burnin' Get me all the information you can get on a kid, Sora Higurashi, a student of UA, Class 1-A's representative and the musician known as Soar, send it to me now" Endeavor hang up and waited for a minute then got a text from Burnin'
