The first pair of the second round began, Shinso Hitoshi fought Shiozaki Ibara.
Many viewers expected that the girl from Class B would be controlled and walk off the stage like an alien-themed girl, but what happened on the field was that the vines from the priestess rushed towards her opponent. Almost immediately after the start, the signal ended.
The green thorns moved to life and trapped the purple-haired boy in bonds that he struggled to break free from until Midnight declared her the winner after Shinso was unable to move for a long time, but even then he received his word. Watch from viewers who were able to make it to the second round.
'It's like they already know Shinso's weak points.' Izuku looked at the seats in Class B who were cheering for their friends and looked back down at the field. 'You need more than that quirk to be a hero.'
The second match was a fight between Todoroki Shoto and Uraraka Ochako, Shoto quickly ended it by sending an ice wave that froze the girl in gravity before she could do anything.
Izuku had no opinion on this pair.
The third pair belonged to Hatsume Mei and Tokoyami Fumikage At first, it seemed like a victory for Fumikage considering how he was able to knock out a girl from the support course, but he was defeated by a flash blast that caused his Shadow Stand to shrink. He returns and loses his sight, which gives May a chance to counter with a combo from her own artifact, and she ends the fight by shooting a net that traps the boy and emits a beam of light. She repeated this to stop the shadowy duo from emerging and destroying the net, then advertised her creation before walking off the stage.
Closing out the second round with Midoriya's pair. Izuku and Kirishima The two Eijiro ran towards each other with their enhanced bodies. Izuku attacked him in the face, while Eijiro did the same.
They continued to punch each other.
Jump him and leave.
exchanging hands and feet
Showing the audience their bare-handed fighting abilities.
The exchange of fists seemed to have no end as neither side was able to deal any serious damage to their partner, so the viewers thought that it would depend on who would run out of energy first. However, they are all. However, he had to change his mind when he saw how the green-haired boy's punches were starting to cause his opponent to be pushed back and the red-haired boy's futile attempts to stand up to his punches. more violence
And the result finally came out when Eijirou was sent off stage.
The battle of the semi-finals immediately began, as the pairing of young Todoroki and young Shiozaki ended with another wave of ice, swift and decisive, trapping his opponent in a cold prison of ice. Cool; it's exciting the first time it's shown but becomes boring when it's used more than once.
Then, the second pairing of Midoriya and Hatsume caught the attention of viewers once again, as it wasn't every year that we saw students from outside the hero curriculum make it this far. This made them curious to know what the female inventor who had defeated two hero students would use against another hero student who seemed almost invincible.
"To be honest, with all my children, I still can't fight you," May said with a lot of equipment on her body.
"Are you going to give up?" Izuku asked.
"No, at least let me do my best first so that my child can shine!" May be announced with determination.
"Good, then come in with everything you have!"
Izuku launched himself directly at Mei but barely dodged her with his mechanical arms.
As the mechanical arm was called back, Izuku caught it and pulled it back, causing Mei to shake off the mechanical arm to prevent herself from being pulled along. She then began flying and drew her loaded gun. A rubber bullet came out to begin the strategy she used to take down Ingenium's younger brother.
But it wasn't a problem for the green-haired boy.
Izuku, who uses reinforcement, doesn't just have more physical power. But his senses had also been raised to match his physical strength, so he could dodge the rain of bullets without any problem.
May threw the gun away, picked up a flash grenade, and threw it at the ground.
Izuku creates a mask to protect him, but he still loses his sight and hearing.
Mei took advantage of Izuku's confusion and flew down, grabbing him with her mechanical arms and dragging him towards the edge of the field because maybe this was her only chance...
Before long, a voice came from behind, and a pulling force made her unable to continue flying.
"I'll admit, you almost got me."
When Mei looked back, she saw that Izuku was resisting the pull with his eyes closed. He slowly took a step back, causing her to be dragged along with him.
But this time, May didn't free her mechanical arms; instead, she pressed the jet full throttle to continue flying, turning into a game of tug-of-war.
The halting of the scene lasted only for a moment before Izuku did something that would decide the outcome. He relaxed his strength and caused himself to be dragged. But he used this opportunity to destroy the mechanical arm and then jumped out towards May, grabbing her in mid-air and slamming her to the ground in a straddling position.
"Alright, is there anything else?"
"No, I'd like to give up."
Midnight brought down the whip and announced the results.
"Hatsume surrenders. Midoriya is the winner."
Izuku got up first and helped Mei get up as well. Then they shook hands, smiling, and walked out amidst cheers.
After this battle, Izuku has a thirty-minute break for the audience, which is time to go use the bathroom or get something to eat in preparation for watching the unmissable final battle.
Thirty minutes had passed, and there was an announcement for the contestants to enter the arena.
***
[Todoroki Shoto fighting Midoriya Izuku] was projected onto TV screens throughout the stadium before cutting to them walking up. Come on stage.
The two stood facing each other at a considerable distance.
'It would be dangerous to let Midoriya move first, so be quick and decisive,' Shouto thought as he looked at Izuku.
'Todoroki would definitely open it by sending an ice wave. It wouldn't be a problem to dodge, but... Izuku looked back.
[Let's start!]
As soon as the signal sounded, Shoto opened fire by sending a rapid wave of ice towards Izuku.
But triggering reinforcement isn't slow either.
Izuku raised his right arm and punched out, then added his strength again, causing air pressure to shoot out of his fist.
"Air Cannon!" Izuku roared.
The ice wave stopped immediately before shattering into pieces and rushing back towards its owner with a howling wind that caused the person who sent the ice wave to raise their arms to shield their faces and create a pillar of ice to push their backs.
***
The entire stadium fell silent, and the audience's jaws dropped to the ground. That was crazy!
"He has such power! Why didn't you use it earlier?!" spectators in the stands commented.
"Dammit! He just swung his fist, and a gust of wind created it!" cried out one spectator.
[What? Midoriya destroyed the ice like it was nothing. What a brute force!"Present Mic spoke out. [Do you have anything to say? Eraser is your student!]
[I have no comments.]
"Okay, Midoriya's value has definitely increased now that he has shown both raw power and brains," one business student said, still stunned.
"At first, I thought he wouldn't be a destructive force, but that was obviously wrong. With this kind of power, he would truly destroy the competition. No one would be able to resist," another business student commented.
***
'Dammit, I didn't think I'd have this stick, so I mustn't have the chance to attack,' Shoto thought as he sent a second wave of ice towards his opponent, only for the ice shards and strong wind to be sent back at him. time
Shoto let out a cold sigh and sent another wave of ice, but the effect was still the same.
***
"Oh my gosh, they fire such large attacks like it's normal. You guys also explode with powerful attacks so often; you guys are too complete." Eijirou questioned. Katsuki
"Dammit, I can't do this often," Katsuki said, still unable to melt from the arena. "If I do it too hard, the muscles might tear. If I use it too often, I'll be exhausted. The quirk is that parts of the body have their limits."
As he spoke, Katsuki thought about his own battle and the reason for using support equipment to amplify the explosion.
"True to you, then this match is an endurance race." Eijirou expressed his own opinion: if both of them continued to unleash powerful attacks like this, whoever reached their limit first would. Lost
"I don't know," Katsuki said, annoyed. Part of it came from knowing that his opponent wasn't being true to him; the other part was that he wasn't strong enough to take the other person seriously; and the last part was just his personal nature.
"But Midoriya was unexpected. I didn't think there would be a secret move like this," Hanta said, remembering the first lesson in combat practice.
"Like All Might," Tsuyu said; everyone thought about it but didn't say it.
***
"You can do this all day, Todoroki," Izuku said.
"But I don't want that. So I'll end it now," Shoto said with a stern expression as he sent an ice wave towards Izuku, but this time he didn't stand still. After the ice wave was destroyed, he created a path of ice that shot straight up into the sky. His face was diagonal, and he ran up before jumping down in the position of punching Izuku.
Izuku jumped back in time, only to find a wave of ice rushing behind him.
"I'm not afraid," Izuku whispered before punching out a blast of wind that shattered the oncoming ice and pushed Shoto back.
"While I could do this many more times, you can't seem to take it anymore," Izuku said as he noticed that Shoto was shaking with ice covering part of the right side of his body, even though the other person kept a straight face but couldn't hide it from Izuku.
"Don't worry about me; I'll beat you no matter what," Shoto said sternly, glancing towards the audience.
Even though Izuku wasn't looking, he knew who he was looking at.
"win? Without using fire?" Izuku asked. There was a slight change on Shoto's face, but Izuku ignored it and continued. "What will it prove?"
"Prove that ice is enough to win this task; that is, I don't need fire to be the number one hero!" Shoto replied coldly and sent a wave of ice towards Izuku.
Izuku shook his head tiredly before destroying it like before. "I already told you that you couldn't take it anymore."
"Huh, you're pretending to say this, Midoriya, but you've already reached your limit too. The wind's been stronger these days than last time," Shoto said.
And Izuku just smiled when he knew the other person had finally noticed.
At this moment, his right arm was trembling with pain. After all, the power of this level of strong air pressure was still too much for his body to bear without any problems, and he did it six times. In a row, it will definitely have a negative effect on your arm if you continue to do it.
"It's easy to forget that a quirk is also a part of physical ability. Whether I, you, or anyone else has a limit to how much quirk they can use, you have the power to balance your own body. With the power of fire and ice, even though they conflict, they support each other. "Izuku said, alternating between clenching and opening his right hand before clenching it tightly. "But you didn't use it and said you would be a hero even though you limited your abilities."
Shoto gritted his teeth and growled slightly, but Izuku continued. "How would you tell people if you couldn't stop a villain that you could just use fire for, but you didn't and let it cause damage or escape? What kind of hero will you be?"
"Shut up!" Shoto shouted, cutting off Izuku's words. "You want me to use fire?! My father bribed you to say this, right!?"
Shoto ran in angrily, forgetting that Izuku also had close-range abilities, which caused him to get a hook punch to the stomach and be sent flying, but he got up and delivered. The ice wave returned, only for Izuku to destroy it with his left punch.
"True, my right arm may have reached its limit, but my left arm can still do at least five more hits. What are you going to do? Todoroki, your ice isn't enough," Izuku said.
"Shut up!" Shoto roared and blasted a huge wave of ice towards Izuku.
The stadium fell silent as the enormous ice cubes towered above the roof of the stands.
Young Todoroki gasped heavily as the bite of the ice became more intense than before, but his eyes widened when he heard the sound of cracking and saw cracks in the ice. He jumped backwards as a hole in the ice surface exploded.
It was the skill of Izuku who continuously punched forward to break the ice, preventing him from being pushed off the stage or frozen before being able to create a path out of the glacier.
Seeing this, Shuto shot another small wave of ice, but Izuku dodged it and quickly rushed towards the left side. Startled, Shoto drew out his left hand and burst into flames before he stopped and received Izuku's sculpture in his face, causing him to bounce off instead.
As the ice user was about to fall off the stage, he used the ice to support himself and create an ice slide, allowing him to quickly slide towards his opponent from the side, but was rushed into by the green-haired teen. A kick breaks a path through the ice, forcing you to stand on the ground.
'He's so fast, how could I forget?' The Son of Endeavor was soon shaken from his thoughts when he saw a blur of green light. He didn't hesitate and sent out a pillar of ice to the left because he knew that the other side would come at a weak point.
Only to find out how fragile his ice was...
Izuku's kick easily cut through the ice shield and into Shoto's midsection, sending the ice user's body rolling on the ground several times.
***
[Previously, Midoriya was on the defensive, but now he has begun to attack.] The present mic informs the audience.
Endeavor took a sharp breath and stared at the battle below, annoyed at his youngest son's bratty rebellion. "If you had used fire from the beginning, you wouldn't be in this situation."
It wasn't that he didn't know why his son did this, but if his masterpiece wanted to be a hero, he should use everything he had, not just to defeat other heroes but to help people as well, so he only had to accept his fate as the man who would defeat All Might and become the greatest hero.
Speaking of All Might...
'That Kid Midoriya's power is very similar to All Might's, although much weaker but still special.' Hero number two thought.
Including power, response, speed, and wind from the punch.
It was as if the green-headed kid on stage was a miniature version of All Might.
Maybe a secret child? It would make sense that All Might would suddenly become a teacher, and that would prove his superiority over All Might if only his son would win, but as shown today, his son is still very far from the target.
***
"You've had enough of me; if you insist on not using fire, then I'll end this fight," Izuku said as he watched his opponent struggle to get up. fight instantly
"Why?" Shoto said, his voice shaking. "Why are you trying to make me use that guy's fire?!"
Shoto couldn't help but grit his teeth and think of his own bitter past with the Flame and his father—how it had ruined his childhood and taken his mother away from him just because of his father's insane ambition!
"Why-"
"Because you want to be a hero, right?" Izuku replied. Shoto was taken aback, so he continued, "I was once like that stupid kid who didn't want to use his powers."
Izuku thought back to the day he said he would be a hero without using his quirk because the kids teased him that his quirk was just a copy, had no value in itself, and was not fit to be one. He's a hero, so he hates his quirk and wishes he didn't have it. But thanks to his mother, he has learned that his quirk is more than just a copy of being a hero. It doesn't matter if he has one. What kind of quirk is it? Just using it to help people is enough.
So he would say the same things he did when he was a child.
'Izuku, this power is yours; no matter what anyone says, it is your power. Don't throw it away; use it to become a hero.'
"That fire is your power. The fire that comes out of your body belongs to none other than yourself." Izuku said this to Shoto, who was shocked.
"Is it my fire?" Shoto whispered, remembering what his mother had said.
'It's okay, Shoto. You are not bound by blood. You can be anything you want.'
Shoto remained silent with all the information that came his way. 'It's my fire; it's mine, not my father's, and I am me, not my father!'
Suddenly, red flames erupted from the left side of his body, so hot that the spectators in their seats could even feel the heat waves radiating out.
***
"Ooh, the fire's hot all the way here," Ochako exclaimed.
"He finally used it," Tenya muttered in surprise, remembering when Shoto said he wouldn't use fire.
"Unbelievable! Besides ice, his fire is also very powerful and very manly." Eijirou almost shed tears.
"So what will Midori-chan do now?" Tsuyu said it with concern.
"But what happened? They stopped fighting for a while. Hey Jiro, did you hear them talking?" Denki turned and asked the girl with the best ears in the room. Everyone in the room wanted to know as well.
"I can only say that Midoriya got Todoroki through his problems," Kyoka answered as best she could, not wanting to talk about anyone else's personal problems.
"He helped his opponent? Midoriya, you're such a man!" Eijirou growled through tears.
"Shut your fucking mouth," Katsuki growled. "Shit, you did something stupid, Deku... don't lose."
"Oh, so you're worried about Midoriya too?" Eijirou protested.
"I told you to shut up," Katsuki hissed.
"Are you crazy? You came to help your opponent during the match," Shouto said as the ice clinging to his body began to melt from the heat. "Yes, I want to be a hero in my own right, and I can be!"
"But if you want to win, you have to go through me first," Izuku said.
They all smiled at each other, ignoring the sound of hero number two shouting happily.
"I don't know whether it will be from now on or not." Shoto slammed his foot on the ground and planted ice on the cement base as the flames continued to burn fiercely.
"Me too, but since you've broken your limits, I might need some help." With that, Izuku created a white glove and put it on his left hand. This was the equipment. Support that May made, which supported many times the normal bounce power.
Izuku then sent energy throughout his body at full power as wind and lightning swept around his body.
After holding back to stabilize his power, Shoto sent a large wave of ice at Izuku.
Izuku then punched out with his left hand.
Although this wave of ice was larger than the previous one, it stopped, shattered into pieces, and flew back to its owner with a strong gust of wind than before. Izuku's performance at a sports event caused Shoto to create a wall of ice behind himself to avoid being blown away and use fire to destroy the ice missiles before they hit him.
After the wind calmed down, Shoto saw Izuku running towards him, so he raised his left arm that was engulfed in flames and stretched it out, completely melting the ice around him into steam before raising his glowing palm, which was extremely hot. His face shot out flames that condensed into the shape of a large beam of light.
Before the final attack, he muttered. "Thank you, Midoriya."
Izuku, on the other hand, cocked his left arm and punched out.
What they do today will be talked about for days to come.
***
A cement wall rose between the two, but it was not enough to stop the pressure of the wind and flames.
They crashed through the wall like cement was just pieces of paper and collided with each other.
The explosion was so violent that some spectators were nearly blown out of their seats by the force of the wind. Many professional heroes had to rise to protect the spectators from the ice and cement fragments that were blown up. No one wanted to believe that this was the power of a child who was not yet twenty years old—the power they possessed—was insane! Many professional heroes could only dream of this level of power.
"Just destruction power isn't all good, but this is quite amazing," Cementos complained from the side of the stage.
[What is this? Your class is crazy.] Present Mic said to his partner while lying on the floor that many of them had fallen off their chairs.
"When the extremely cold air encounters a sudden burst of heat, it expands, and when combined with the intense wind pressure, we have a recipe for destruction." Eraserhead stated in principle
The huge cloud of smoke after the explosion concealed everything in the arena from outsiders. Everyone was waiting intently for the outcome this time, and soon the smoke began to clear, revealing the area in the middle of the arena. Destroyed until there was nothing left of the original structure. The other picture was of Shoto with his left shirt completely torn off, leaning against the ice wall close to the edge of the stage, and Izuku standing with his guard in the shape of a cross, just far from the edge of the stage on the other side. Just a little bit. His upper body was bare, and some of his pants were torn off.
[Both of them are still on stage! Even though the stage is no longer in its original condition!] Present Mic spoke out, followed by the audience's cheers.
***
Izuku lowered his arms slowly.
Shoto quickly got to his feet and swung. Both a wave of ice and a flame immediately hit Izuku. Of course, Izuku swept it away with the same air pressure as usual.
"Ugh"
Izuku clenched his teeth as his arm ached. He had to hurry and end this fight.
The green-haired boy formed a gym shirt over his body and ran out.
Fire and ice were released in return. But he dodged and continued running without missing a beat.
Shoto quickly created a wall of ice in front of himself, but it was meaningless.
The wind pressure in the melee destroyed the barriers and hit those hiding behind the walls, flying them off the stage.
"Todoroki leaves the stage."
[And we have this year's winner, Midoriya Izuku!]
The cheering sound of the audience echoed throughout the stadium.
Izuku looked around with satisfaction, knowing that one of his childhood dreams had been fulfilled today.
Before he collapsed from exhaustion, he tried to regain his balance and raised his clenched right hand to the sky like his idols usually do after big battles, then let himself fall. Trying to maintain consciousness so as not to expose yourself to the air.
***
Somewhere...
"Teach your successor well, all Might... It seems that our war isn't over easily... Yoichi..."
The King of Villains sarcastically said that once again he had failed to finish off the One For All user before transferring his brother's power to someone else.
"But it's not just you who have a successor; I have one too."
The over-100-year-old man looked into another screen that was showing a video of his apprentice.
