Chapter 2

It wasn't a surprise, that a café wasn't too full – lot of people in this time of day were either at work, or in school. But for our heroes, it was a big advantage – they easily find a free table for themselves, and they didn't have to wait for too long for their order.

Finally, the time has come – three, whose face shows nothing, but pure determination. Every one of them looked directly in the eyes of his opponents, like trying to break their will for victory. But that wasn't enough – their will strong enough, to conquer the deepest seas, the highest mountains, and even withstand round kick of Chuck Norris. Finally, when it was clear, that battle is unavoidable, one them said:

- Let's do this.

Before Shouto, and his friends was next things: three plates with takoyaki, milkshakes, and ten packets of sauce per person. Since it was their last year in middle school, and Midoriya was applying for UA, Hokuto suggested to try a challenge, for sake of spending their time together.

And now, everyone was ready – main dish for sauce, milkshakes, to put down fire in a mouth, and most important, sauces. Every packet of sauce contained sauce of different degreed of spiciness – starting with mild "Hey gringo!" and ending with spicy as hell "El diablo macho". To make things look more epic, Hokuto put on his head headband with word "Banzai!" on it.

After Shouto's question, his friends exchange looks, and silently nodded, showing, that they are ready.


There wasn't a lot people in café – not like it worry Izuku. On contrary – he never felt himself comfortable enough, while being surrounded by people. Thanks to his not best childhood, and parenting of his dear "father".

Right now Todoroki was looking recent news of hero world, and videos of their fights, on his smartphone, while he waited for his order. While watching videos, he makes a notes in his notebook – sometimes he paused a video, and muttered, thinking, how any hero or villain could use his Quirk more effective, or tried to guess next move of opponents. And it worth to mention, he got it right a lot.

- Here's your order, thank you for your patience.

Izuku, deep in his analysis, slightly jumped, after hearing waitress voice, but quickly recovered, and, after thanking for service, start digging into dessert.

Dessert were truly worth of tittle king size – several ice cream scoops, each with different flavors, covered by biscuit, and syrup and whipped cream. Majority of people wouldn't even dare to look at this sweetness, caring for their figure – but thanks to his training and Quirk, organism of Izuku spend a lot of calories, so he was able to enjoy such desserts without too much worry.

- "Well, at least some compensation for all crap I have to come through," – gloomy thought Todoroky, sending into his mouth another spoonful of "compensation".

Process of sweetening of his life were interrupted by yell:

- Yeah-aaaaah, not that the stuff!

For sake of his curiosity, Izuku turns toward source of noise, and saw three teenagers, siting at the next table: guy, whose hair were white as snow, fatso, with short haircut, and black hairs, and a green haired girl, with features of mantis on her arms. Most notable feature of all three, was red faces, and fact, that they were sweating bullets.

- S-s-surrender! You (hic!) doesn't stand a chance, Edano! – said white haired to girl.

- Not… not… Not in (hic!) million years! I won't give up without a fight! – answered a girl, who was named Edano, and after this, took another packet with sauce.

- "Ah, friendly limit challenge," – thought Todoroki, who was observing them.

He had no doubt, about fact, that it was a friendly challenge – it was obvious by look on their faces, and tone of their voice.

In this moment Izuku felt a pang of envy – despite of being not the most talkative person, he did suffer from loneliness. But, thanks to his family tree, didn't even hope, that someone will become his friend.

Anguish of psychokinetic, and friendly challenge of trio, were interrupted by rude voice:

- Nobody f*** move!

Everyone, who was in café, turns toward entrance: three staying in it right now.

First was a huge man, who was look like Komodo dragon. He was dressed in blue jeans, and red sleeveless jacket with black t shirt.

Second was a girl, a little older than our heroes, with violet hairs, and lipstick of same color. She was dressed in shorts, and dark-red t shirt with word "Disobey!", with font of style of some heavy-metal band.

Third was a thin guy, whose most notable features was pair of extra arms, and several black dot eyes on his face. This person was dressed in black pants, grey hoody.

Looking at those three, everyone had a doubt, that they come her to grab come snacks.

- "Today is definitely not my day," – simultaneously thought Todoroki and Midoriya.
