"Midoriya!!"
"Midoriya?!"
The scene on the stage made Ochako and Takeyama Urei extremely worried. The giant ice mountain occupied most of the stage, and Midoriya Izuku was frozen inside. Todoroki's ultimate move had undoubtedly hit and trapped Midoriya.
"What a pity, after all, the opponent is Endeavor's son, and the power gap is too big."
"Yeah, even most pro heroes can't withstand such a move!"
"Although the 'Steel Wire Death God' is also impressive, he's just a Quirkless person who reached this level with equipment alone."
...
...
...........
In the audience, people started chatting among themselves, almost collectively saying "Don't worry" to comfort Midoriya Izuku.
"Midoriya... can you still move?"
Midnight, shivering from the cold, asked. Todoroki's wide-range ice attack had affected her too, covering her in frost. As a fair judge, she didn't think Midoriya could still move.
"Midoriya... I'll get you out soon."
Breathing cold air, Todoroki Shoto, after confirming Midoriya Izuku couldn't move, prepared to melt the ice. After all, being frozen for too long could cause serious harm. Just as he was about to act, he heard a voice from inside the ice.
"Don't worry, I can get out myself!"
The bottom of the ice mountain shattered, and a figure jumped out, landing with the falling ice debris. Midoriya Izuku, covered in frost, skidded to a stop in front of the ice mountain.
"What?!"
"Sorry, I won't lose that easily!"
In Todoroki Shoto's surprised eyes, it was Midoriya Izuku, breathing cold air. He was covered in ice shards, with large chunks of ice on his arms, and didn't look in good shape.
"Amazing! Midoriya got hit directly by Todoroki's ultimate move and can still move!!"
Present Mic exclaimed, and the audience was equally shocked. To get hit by such a move and still be able to move, Midoriya was incredible!
"How?! Why can you still move?!"
Todoroki Shoto, shocked, asked why Midoriya could still move after taking his ultimate move. Midoriya kindly answered.
"Sorry, I used your attack."
"What?!"
Todoroki was still confused. Midoriya stepped aside and pointed to the ice mountain where he had escaped.
Following Midoriya's direction, Todoroki saw a layer at the bottom of the giant ice mountain, formed by the leftover ice barriers from his attack.
"Impossible, a wide-range ice attack should have no blind spots... Could it be?!"
Todoroki saw the frost on Midoriya Izuku's arms and understood how Midoriya had protected himself from his ultimate move.
The scene flashed back to when Todoroki released his wide-range ice attack:
Around Midoriya Izuku were tall ice walls. Todoroki had repeatedly attacked Midoriya with ice, leaving many ice blocks on the stage after Midoriya dodged.
Then, Midoriya used steel wires to cut the ice pillars Todoroki attacked with, leaving split ice on both sides of him.
When Todoroki released his wide-range ice attack, there was a clear path between him and Midoriya, but two ice walls had formed on both sides of Midoriya.
Finally, Todoroki used his full power to release his ultimate move, "Wide-Range Ice," covering half the stage in an instant.
The "Death God Gloves" activated, creating a dense web of threads on both sides of Midoriya in an instant. Midoriya crossed his arms in front of him as the ice mountain approached!
Let's explain Todoroki Shoto's "Wide-Range Freeze" technique. On the stage, to avoid causing fatal injuries, Todoroki's giant ice mountain attack wasn't a collision type but a strong frost wave that instantly froze into an ice mountain.
Midoriya Izuku kept this in mind. He had observed Sero Hanta's failure, where he was frozen under the ice mountain, which formed behind him.
The same happened with Ojiro Mashirao, confirming this information for Midoriya. Ojiro was also frozen from behind.
Facing Todoroki Shoto, Midoriya knew Todoroki would use this deadly move, so he kept thinking about how to counter it.
Midoriya considered dodging, but he dismissed it. Todoroki's attack covered half the stage, making it nearly impossible to dodge. So, he decided on a different tactic.
Stand firm!!
The "Wide-Range Freeze" was an attack formed by a frost wave, so as long as his body wasn't hit by the frost wave, he wouldn't freeze. This gave Midoriya a chance.
Sero Hanta was right. On the flat stage, Midoriya's performance was limited, and he couldn't set up his steel wire traps. But Todoroki's cautious nature solved this problem.
Todoroki wouldn't use his deadly move right away. After several ice attacks, he left ice barriers and pillars on the stage, creating anchor points for the web!
At the moment of Todoroki's attack, Midoriya used the steel wire web to protect himself. The ice walls on both sides blocked the frost wave, and Midoriya used his arms to withstand the frost that penetrated through the web.
After Todoroki's ultimate move ended, Midoriya used the "Storm King" to change form, breaking through the ice with one foot and revealing himself to the audience, who were all watching in awe!!
"I didn't expect my previous attacks to become your shield. Midoriya, you're really amazing."
"Don't say that, Todoroki. You haven't used your full power yet..."
The two faced each other, both breathing cold air. They were both in a tough spot.
Todoroki Shoto's ice Quirk was at its limit, and his body was heavily burdened. If he used ice again, he might collapse first.
Midoriya Izuku had taken Todoroki's ultimate move head-on. Although he escaped, he was still affected by the frost, and his arms were numb from the cold.
"Todoroki, do you mind if we chat on the stage... to recover a bit?"
"What do you want to say..."
Todoroki couldn't refuse Midoriya's suggestion. His ice Quirk was at its limit, and he couldn't just punch his opponent. He would be knocked out by Midoriya in seconds.
"Todoroki, why do you want to be a hero?"
"......"
Todoroki Shoto clenched his fist and didn't say a word in response to Midoriya Izuku's question. His eyes showed a dangerous look. Seeing that Todoroki didn't answer, Midoriya continued:
"Then I'll go first."
