A/N: (Looks as reviews) I was really hoping someone would comment on something about whole thing about the canon wizard name Todoroki... Oh well... enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 16: The Final Event Begins!
Izuku stood in the hallway, trying to steady his breath. After all it was the first match… granted he did have a strategy how to deal with Sero but he wasn't sure if it would work or be fast enough.
That was when All Might approached him.
"Hey!" he called out.
Izuku turned around.
"All Might…" sighed Izuku.
"Hey you're doing great out there." Said All Might.
"Not really…" sighed Izuku, "I mean I haven't that spell and all I've been doing really is use Accio. And the first round I stole the tactic from a legendary wizard…"
"Hey come on! Don't be that way!" said All Might, "It's fine even if you don't use that spell."
"I know… but it feels like I've only gotten because of luck… I mean if Accio didn't work I don't know if I would have gotten to this round and…" said Izuku.
All Might cut him off with a whack to the head.
"You're always trying your hardest." Said All Might, "You didn't become triple recorded with luck. You worked your hardest. IF it was just luck I doubt any of them would have recommenced you. And I have even met those three yet. You'll never be a hero looking so mopey."
Izuku had bit his tongue because of that whack.
He turned to his muscle bound hero form.
"If you're feeling worried or scared. Just smile. Even if you have to fake it." Said all Might.
Izuku nodded nervously.
And soon enough both he and Sero went into the stadium for their fight.
Izuku was clearly nervous, but was trying to look brave.
"Making a weird face despite his impressive performance! It's the hot shot wizard from the hero course Izuku MI doyra!" an announced Present Mic, "Versus someone who is as plain as they come Hanta Sero, also from the Hero Course!"
Sero was stretching his arms as they got ready.
"All right the rules are simple, the ways to beat you opponent: To get them out of bounds, to get them to surrender or to completely immobilize them." Explained Present Mic, "Bring the pain! We got Recovery Girl and a healer on standby. Also ethics aren't here so fight dirty if you have to. Well expected for killing. We have Cementoss on Stand By if need be."
And indeed Cementoss was acting as a judge in case someone crossed that line.
Sero looked at Izuku a little nervously, he knew that Izuku was one of the strongest students in his class, despite Izuku's confidence issues.
"no hard feelings Midoriya!" said Sero.
Izuku nodded.
"So let's begin this match." Said Present Mic.
Sero who had the ability to shoot tape from his elbow did so at Izuku.
However Izuku quickly took out his wand and aimed for the tape.
"Diffiino!" he called out making sure not to hit Sero with the charm.
The tape was immediately cut to pieces.
Then he transfigured the cut pieces of tape into little hummingbirds.
"What…" said Sero.
And then the hummingbirds began to attack. Stabbing him their tiny beaks.
The various classes had boxes to themselves they could watch the matches without having to worry about the crowds.
Of course they watched at the humming birds pecked Sero with their tiny sharp beaks.
"Hey Bakugo do you know why Midoriya tends to use birds?" asked Sato.
"Hey, he's right. I'm sure there's plenty of other animals he could make." Said Toru.
That was when the other members of the friend group froze at that.
Katsuki sighed. He knew that Iida, Ochaco and Kirishima were thinking of.
(Flashback)
A certain raven was dive bombing the group. The only thing they could do was try to beat her with a bunch of coat hangers, with Kirishima being the only using his quirk or ability.
Why…
"Why did she stick coat hangers to our hands!" yelled Ochaco.
"I gave up trying to figure out what goes on in her brain years ago." Said Katsuki.
"I think it's because most of us have to use our hands." Said Izuku then Tsubasa dive bombed him.
This lasted while… and it was the weirdest fight they would have during the training fights she would have with them.
(end of Flashback)
"Trust me to say you don't want to know." Said Katsuki.
"Also if we tell them she might take revenge." Whispered Ochaco.
Their classmate in the box didn't hear it, but realized that Katsuki was right they probably didn't want to know.
Back on the battle field, Izuku quickly went over several ways to beat him in his head.
Hoping that he wouldn't beat the hummingbirds by then.
Thankfully he didn't once he picked the best course of action.
"Depulso!" he called out.
Sero was pushed out of bounds really quickly.
"Hanta Sero is out of bounds!" called out Midnight.
Izuku ran over and checked on Sero.
"You okay?" asked Izuku.
"I get the feeling it could have been worse." Said Sero a he quickly recovered.
Izuku sighed.
"All right! That was a quick match!" said Present Mic, "But hopefully the next match will bring on the fight!"
All Might on the other hand just sighed.
"This kid." He mumbled.
In the stands… Tsubasa the member of the crowd cheering the loudest.
Izuku made it back to the hall and ran into All Might who was waiting for him.
All Might gave him the thumbs up and Izuku smiled.
As he wasn't injured he went to the Class 1-A box.
"Hey! Pretty Manly Battle!" said Kirishima.
Izuku laughed as he joined his friends. However when he did Ojiro took the seat behind him.
"Midoriya." Said Ojiro, "If he wins I'm going to have to explain his quirk."
"What why?" asked Izuku.
Soon enough it was time for the next match.
"All right first from the Hero Course, she might be pink but she carries quite the sting, it's Mina Ashido!" called out Present Mic, "Versus the guy who hasn't made much a showing from General Studites Hitoshi Shinso!"
That was when Izuku whipped out his quirk notebook.
"I was wondering if I would see that today." Laughed Bakugo.
"What is it?" asked Ochaco.
"Despite being a wizard his hobby is quirk analysis." Said Bakugo.
"Really?" asked Iida.
"That really cool!" said Kirishima.
The match had begun.
Those watching couldn't hear anything that was going on the stage, but Mina had used her acid to skate over to Shinso.
However as she did it was clear she yelled something at him.
However that was when she suddenly froze, then suddenly turned around and walked out of bounds.
Everyone in the stadium was shocked by this turn of events.
"What… what just happened?" asked Izuku.
"That guy brainwashes people." Said Ojiro.
"What seriously?" asked Izuku.
He watched as Mina snapped out of the brainwashing was shocked. She fell to the ground and it was clear she was crying.
"He's your next opponent." Said Ochaco.
"Yeah…" said Izuku.
However it was clear that many people throughout the audience were impressed by this turn.
Many heroes expressing the shock that he was put into General Studies, after all his quirk was impressive.
And Izuku was nervously, after all that would be his opponent in his next match.
But of course there was still the rest of Round 1 to go through. And six more matches until then.
Especially his friends' matches and who knew how the next matches would go for sure.
Next Time: The matches continue as Todoroki faces off against Shoji and Iida against Ochaco. Who will go to the next round and will one of the fights be incredibly one-sided? Find out next time!
A/N: I have no idea why I put in that Birdemic reference... it's stupid but I couldn't help myself...
