Chapter 17: Ice, Gravity and Speed

Many people were excited for the next battle. After all Todoroki was the son of the number 2 hero.

While everyone was excited Mina entered the box rather dejected.

"Hey…" sighed Mina.

Toru came in and hugged Mina because that embarrassing loss she really needed it.

"Thanks." Said Mina.

She looked at both Ojiro and Izuku.

"I guess I have to help Midori." She said.

That was when Monoma popped his head up the 1-B box.

"That was really pathetic you know." He said.

Everyone stared at the blonde.

"You got defeated by a general studies student, what do you think is going to happen?" asked Monoma, "Just to show that Class 1-A…"

Before could finish that sentence he was suddenly knocked out.

"Sorry about him." Said Itsuka with a present smile.

"I really hate that guy." Thought most of the class.

"Hey shouldn't you two be getting ready?" asked Kirishima to Ochaco and Iida.

"Our match is next but we really should see who the winner will face." Said Iida.

"He's right." Said Ochaco.

Izuku nodded understanding what they were talking about.

"All right time of the next battle and hopefully it won't be as short of as the last one!" called out Present Mic.

"I think you just jinxed it." Said Aizawa.

"Well that might be, it's the tentacle menace of the hero course Mezo Shoji Versus the strongest of the Strongest of the Strong Shoto Todoroki!"

The two competitors looked at each other, read to fight.

Back in the Class 1-A Box, Sero came back.

""Hey!" he called out.

Izuku sheepishly looked at him.

"Hey Midoriya it's fine, I would have been more surprised if you didn't set loose a bunch of birds on me." Said Sero, "Even if they were humming birds."

"Oh come on they were just hummingbirds." Said Kaminari.

"IT was being stabbed with a lot of little needles." Said Sero.

"And begin the fight." Said Present Mic.

That was when the fight began, Shoji turned his tentacles into copies of his arms, ready to fight.

That was when Todoroki just trapped him in a giant glacier. So large that it almost went into the stands.

"Seriously…" sighed Shoji.

"Can you move?" asked Midnight.

"No." said Shoji.

"Shoto Todoroki is the victor!" said Midnight.

"OH COME ON!" yelled Present Mic.

"I told you would jinx it." Muttered Aizawa.

The crowd began to chant "Nice try!" due to the fact that well… it was so one sided as they couldn't help but to at him.

"Todoroki…" sighed Shoji.

Todoroki nodded.

In the Class 1-A stands Izuku watched Todoroki and especially his body language, he realized that the boy looked sad while defrosting their classmate.

However he was the only one who seemed to notice it.

"You know…" said Sero, "I think losing like that is more embarrassing than being pecked by a bunch of hummingbirds."

Both Iida and Ochaco watched at the glacier that Todoroki he created.

"Hey!" said Katsuki, "Good luck to whoever wins."

"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Ochaco.

"I'm trying to be impartial…" said Katsuki, "That's the best thing I can come up with."

"When was the last time you had a friend that wasn't Deku?" asked Ochaco with a sweat drop.

"Get ready for your damn turn!" yelled Katsuki.

Both them knew he was right.

Ochaco also realized that it was probably a long time he had another friend besides Izuku… but she wasn't going to say it out loud.

After a while, the stadium was once again ready to go.

"All right! It's time for the next battle! It's the astronaut from the hero course Ochaco Uraraka Versus the intelligent engines also form the Hero Course Tenya Iida!"

"No matter who wins no hard feelings!" said Iida.

Ochaco nodded.

"And begin!" yelled Present Mic.

Iida immediately sped towards Ochaco, who used her quirk on herself to dodge.

In the Class 1-A box.

"Hey, Deku who do you think will win?" asked Katsuki.

"Well it could go either way…" said Izuku who looked through his note book and began one of his mutter sprees, "Iida does have speed at his advantage however if Uraraka dodges at the correct time she could have the advantage. But Uraraka does have her limits, she might end up hitting them… if she doesn't reach them ad she managed to touch him though she might win…"

"This is going to take a while." Katsuki said with a sweat drop.

At the same time a very terrified Mineta left to get ready for his battle, as he knew he had to mentally prepare himself.

Momo decided she didn't want to leave at the same time as him. Besides she was already coming up with ideas in her head and she didn't need to prep that much.

Back in the battle field, Iida remember that Ochaco has a limit when it comes to using her quirk.

"If I continue to make her dodge she should reach her limits but should I report to underhanded tactics?" he thought.

If Ochaco reaches her limit, then she suffers from serve nausea and often has to vomit.

So yeah, pretty nasty drawback… in more ways than one.

However at the same time Ochaco was watching Iida carefully, "I have to time it perfectly" she thought.

He came at her a again, she once again dodge.

She realized something as they fought, that he could use high kicks because of his quirk, but realized he wasn't doing that because that would probably give her an opening.

"Dang it! Why did you have to realize it first" she said out loud.

"What?" asked Iida.

"Nothing!" said Ochaco with a sweat drop.

Iida once again ran towards her.

And she once again used her quirk to dodge him.

This went on for several more minutes.

However Ochaco's drawback began to hit her. She was trying not to vomit.

Iida knew it was time to finish it. He appeared behind her and began to push her to the edge, stopping himself right when she crossed the boundary line.

"Ochaco Uraraka is out of bounds! Tenya Iida is the winner!" called out Midnight.

"Uraraka I'm sorry!" said Iida.

Ochaco just gave a thumbs up, and then vomited up (producing a rainbow glitter affect)

"Clean up on aisle 6!" called out Present Mic.

"Please don't make fun of quirk drawbacks." Muttered Aizawa.

Back in the in Class 1-A's booth, Momo got up with an evil smile on her face.

"Go get him!" said Mina.

"Make him pay!" said Kyoka.

"Remember murder isn't allowed." Said Tsuyu.

"I know… but there's plenty that someone can live through." Momo said with an evil smile on her face.

Momo left the box. None of the boys wanted to say anything.

But some were brave enough.

"It's his own damn fault he did that you know." Said Katsuki.

"Well I think." Said Kaminari.

"You don't get to talk…" muttered Kyoka.

Kaminari froze when she said that.

And with that Round 1 was half way over. But who knew what the second half the first round would bring… beyond pain to Mineta.

Next Time: Momo and Mineta face off. IT not a question of if who will win, but rather how badly will Mineta lose. After wards Kirishima is dragged into a showcase of inventions... because that's what it is... not even a fight... so yeah... that's going to happen... what's going to happen? Find out next time!
