U.A high school, the principal's office, a day after Hikoori's recovery:
"So you're saying that she should be put under continuous supervision?" I asked the principal, raising an eyebrow.
The mouse like principal nodded then said: "You see, with the information you provided us with, it is clear that she has a relation to the league of villains. They might try to meet her or interact with her, so we should be careful."
I felt a little frustrated at his explanation. I knew my students, furthermore, she was not like the others. I saw her before, how she acted when someone was in danger. I saw her in her childhood, how she saved a kid from being bullied on. Damn, she risked her life to save me!! She was not the kind of person who would help evil or give up to it easily, I just knew it.
"Don't you trust her? Detective Tsukauchi and his sister (with a quirk that can detect lies) have already interrogated Todoroki. She was proved innocent that day." I defended her.
Nezu, the principal, smiled. "It's not that we do not trust her, it's just that we have to protect her. She is still endangered by her quirk, and the league of villains might try to kidnap her, and then do God knows what with her. They wanted her alive for something or someone; the supreme, which is probably the planner guiding Shigaraki; since he is too childish to make such complex moves. We have to be careful." He said, looking at me straight in the eyes, seriously. Can you do this, Ereaserhead?" The principal asked me, probably making sure I was up to the task.
I nodded, accepting the mission.
"Remember though, she is not allowed to participate in the Sports festival, to ensure that her quirk won't go wild and endanger students and people. But I won't ban her the chance to watch and cheer on her classmates, especially her twin." The principal implied.
"Sure thing." I said.
He then got closer to me and gave me a small device and a pill.
"What are those?" I asked.
"The pill contains a micro quirk measuring device, and the screen device over here shows you the data. When you have to be away from our dear student Todoroki for any reason, this device will warn you if her quirk acted abnormally. This will ensure that you can protect her at all times." Nezu said.
"Thank you."
.

The sports festival, after the end of the obstacle race:
I looked at the device another time, still sitting beside the loud Hizashi, commenting on the sports festival. The cavalry battle was about to begin, and all students were forming their teams. Seemingly, the p[passive quirk of Todoroki, after the U.S.J did not act in a an out of the ordinary way. I sighed through the strain of moving my arm, and looked back at the students under us. My students' performance in the obstacle race was better than expected, even that all of them passed that round.
'Now let's see how they pull themselves through this one.'
I looked at my friends from above, sitting on the edge of my seat. Bakugou had a sudden burst of popularity, even though (and I can bet my life on that) he did not know the quirk of any of those asking him to join his team. Typical, if you ask me.
The poor Midoriya was getting out of options, everyone was refusing to join his team.
'It's reasonable though... ten million points will make you the target of all other competing teams, and having a swarm of enemies ids not exactly a great plan. But he's not hopeless yet.'
Soon, Midoriya's team was formed; Uraraka, the support class girl and Tokoyami. But what really surprised me was that Iida did not join his friend's team, Midoriya, and instead chose to fight along my beloved twin, Shoto.
'Is it a friendly rivalry blossoming here?'
Most probably it was.
Now, back to Shoto's team, he had a very strong one. Iida in the front-great manoeuvarability and physical defence, Yaoyarouzu on the right to provide defence and attack against other teams in addition to manoeuvariblity with her creation quirk and wits, and Kaminari on the left to provide the attack power and prevent other teams from getting close to them. Finally, Shoto nii-san sat as a rider, with the abilty to block any attack with ice.
'Surely enough... by the slight feeling of pain I felt moments ago and the way nii-san looked at the heroes seats-particularly Endeavor- I could tell his teammates were being told about his decision of never using his fire.'
I touched my heart gently, as if my easing would reach him. Endeavor's presence, it's getting our nerves on edge... not the we are to be blamed for that.
And 3, 2, 1... the cavalry war started!
Most teams launched at Midoriya's aiming for the ten million, but his team was strong; they evaded all the attacks with their teamwork.
Shoto, though, went to collect other points first though, so that he can get his place secured. Bakugou aimed for Midoriya too (obviously) and tried to steal his headband detaching from the horse formation, but was cut off by Tokoyami's dark shadow. So, before he could meet the ground and lose Not only them, most of our classmates were fighting their way to get the ten million, even Hagakure and Mineta! But they all failed despite that.
However, this was not the real surprise. The real one was how the all mighty Bakugou had lost his headband to boy in class B that I could feel his negative vibe from here.
'Whoah... this is something...!'
But Bakugou was not goung to let that slide, if the deadly darkness he was emitting from himself was any indication.
'That class B kid... he's already dead.
Wait... seriously now?!'
It was the indigo hair coloured boy. He was making other competitors give him their headbands.
'Wow... amazing way to get through this, and not risqué!!!'
I had to admit, that boy was making me more and more interested to him.
On the other hand, my twin, was in blocking the way of the green valley boy (it's his name's meaning.) Midoriya. Less than six minutes remained before time's up. Shoto's team charged at them to take their jackpot, while simultaneously, he was being attacked from multiple teams.
'This won't need much work.'
Kaminari electrocuted them with his discharge, and nii-san froze them to the ground with the help of Yaoyarouzu's metal stick. The other teams got paralyzed. He took advantage of this and snatched their headbands.
Tokoyami attacked nii-san's team to take his headband, but Yaoyarouzu caught him beforehand.
'Nice reflexes!'
The next five minutes were spent between a hit and run on both sides, until they both were surrounded by a thick circle of ice.
'Midoriya knew how to play it right... staying on the left side of nii-san, so that his ice would endanger Iida. He probably fohured nii-san won't use his fire. He is pushing him to the corner.'
"You can do it, nii-san!!!" I cheered him on screaming, the burst of all those mixed feelings of ours letting me ignore the crowd around me.
Nii-san tensed up. He nodded and everything suddenly changed. It all happened in moments; a burst of blue light from Iida's engine, then the ten million points became in nii-san's hands.
Fast recovering from the shock, Midoriya's team shifted their gear to attack. And I felt it again, a strange longing inside of me, as Midoriya activated his power. The intensity of it, his fast approach to nii-san's left side, it was all like a moment rush.
I sensed a huge wave of adrenaline wash over my body and heart; it was the mixture of us twins feelings together.
Time had stopped for a moment, Midoriya getting too close to shoto, and the latter activating for a moment his fire. O felt an electrocution throughout my body, as I watched the small flicks of flames form on the left arm of my other half.
'Is he... is he going to...!'
And as fast as it came, it was gone, and Midoriya got himself a band.
"I got it! I got...!!" He screamed a hint of relief in his tone, but his words died.
Not that I paid much attention to that. My mind was focused on the fire.
The fire...
The forbidden fire.
'No way...! I can't believe it... he has sworn not to use it...!'
My breathing hitched and condensed, as confusion grew inside of me. I did not know what I was feeling at that moment, a weird swirl of positive and negative emotions that mixed leaving me neutral emptiness.
The burning in my body intensified, and my blood condensed, and pain stabbed me all over-
"Todoroki." A familiar neutral voice suddenly came from behind of me, and simultaneously the burning and pain were gone, only confusion remaining. I looked back at the direction of the voice, and the expression I was making probably took Aizawa sensei off guard. His hair was lifted and eyes red, indicating he just erased my quirk.
"Sensei..." I trailed off, looking at the floor, not sure what to feel.
'This was not self acceptance, this was the blurt of the moment reaction... this will not be good... he-he will end up...'
I felt a squeezing hand on my shoulder.
"Do not pressure yourself. Everything will eventually get solved, just give it some time, whatever it is." Aizawa sensei said.
'Is it really that simple...?'
"In first place is Todoroki!!! "
Ahhh, Aizawa being Dadzawa, I love it XD
I tried my best not to over do it since he still hadn't bonded with his class that much, after all the teaching time he had with his stidens is still a bit short. It's just so that he dies not sound so OOC you know... I'm trying my best!!
Thanks again for you folks'support, especially Christine Ryan for her nice reviews!
Hope you enjoyed!
