[Minutes Later - Tournament Ring]

{THE FIRST MATCH IS ABOUT TO BEGIN! HE'S CLASS 1-A'S PRESIDENT, AND HE'S GOT A TRENCH COAT FULL OF SURPRISES, IZUKU MIDOIRYA! VERSUS, A BOY IN DIRE NEED OF SOME SLEEP, LIKE MY FELLOW COMMENTATOR, HITOSHI SHINSO!} exclaimed Present Mic, wrapping up the introductions. Izuku glared menacingly at Shinso who just smirked, both had plans on how they would deal with the other.

{THE RULES ARE SIMPLE! YOU WIN BY KNOCKING YOUR OPPONENT OUT OF THE RING OR BY GETTING THEM TO SAY 'I GIVE UP'! DON'T BE AFRAID TO GO ALL OUT, WE HAVE RECOVERY GIRL ON STANDBY AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT FIGHTING DIRTY, IT'S AS THEY SAY; ALL IS FAIR IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE!} shouted Present Mic. Izuku entered a battle stance, when he heard Shinso begin to speak.

"You know, I've been waiting to get back at you for that punch. You don't deserve your spot in the hero course and I'll be the one to take it. Honestly, you don't deserve that inventor slut either" said Shinso, staring down Izuku.

Izuku's eye twitched at his last comment but he tried to calm himself down. When Kinoko dragged him aside into the hallway, it was to tell him about her time on the purple haired teen's team and she confirmed his theory about him having a mind control quirk. It seemed his quirk required a verbal response, meaning keeping quiet was his best option.

{START!} yelled Present MIc as Izuku ran towards Shinso.

Shinso dodged Izuku's first punch, immediately backing away from the viridian teen. He began spewing insults about Izuku's family, and his classmates but Izuku remained steadfast in his assault to get the sleep deprived teen out of the ring. Izuku continued to try attacking the teen when Shinso finally said something that he couldn't ignore.

Mei watched the battle from the support course students' viewing area, using her quirk to look closer at the battle. She picked up lip reading as she knew it would be a very useful skill to have with a quirk like hers. The inventor looked on with furrowed brows due to understanding all the vile insults coming out of Shinso's mouth.

Izuku relayed everything Kinoko told him to the girl when he returned from the hallway, she immediately suggested for him to wear earbuds as a simple solution but Izuku was too prideful to win that way, Mei had a bad feeling about the matchup as he entered the ring and this only furthered her anxiety.

"You know, that Mei girl, who was riding on your back earlier? She was quite the looker. I honestly wouldn't mind having some fun with her…maybe I'll just use my quirk on her and fool around for a bit after the tournament" said Shinso, smirking as Izuku's face darkened. Everyone in the stadium felt an immense aura of unbridled fury come from the green haired teen, who charged at Shinso, roaring with anger as he aimed a fist towards Shinso's jaw.

"I WON'T LET YOU LAY A HAND ON HER, YOU BASTARD!" shouted Izuku, before he suddenly stopped and his pupils blanked. Mei's face contorted with disgust, normally she was unphased by the lecherous gaze of her peers and random people on the street, but the fact Shinso said it with no remorse disgusted her completely. Even the R-rated heroine Midnight, who was refereeing, stared at the sleep deprived boy with an expression full of complete disgust but remained quiet.

"IZUKU, IGNORE HIM! W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MOVE!" shouted Mei from the stands, garnering everyone else's attention but she didn't care.

She couldn't comprehend why he fell for such obvious bait until it hit her, he was angry for her sake. A heartwarming notion in any other situation but the one he was currently in, Mei wanted to smack the crap out of the broccoli haired teen. She could do nothing but watch anxiously as her best friend creeped slowly toward the edge of the ring.

'TD! I need you to hit me with a jolt of electricity from the whip' shouted Izuku mentally to his stand. It popped out from his back and floated above him in a thinking pose, ignoring its master's panicked state.

"MASTER, I DON'T NEED TO USE THE WHIPS. I CAN JUST ELECTRIFY MY HAND" said the stand matter-of-factly, Izuku had questions about the newfound discovery but decided to save it for later. His stand tapped him as a burning sensation jolted Izuku back into control of his body.

From the perspective of everyone else, the boy glowed with electricity bouncing all over him temporarily as he turned around glaring with killing intent at his opponent.

The stadium filled with gasps, they were still trying to process that the boy recklessly shocked himself to snap out of his trance to wake up. Mei jumped out her seat, filled with childish delight that he managed to break free from his opponent's terrifying quirk.

"WOOOOOOOOOO! KICK HIS ASS, BUDDY!" shouted Mei from the stands ignoring everyone in the stadium's shock at her vulgar words of encouragement. Izuku blushed slightly before looking back at where he heard her voice smiling, with a wobbly raised thumb. Shinso growled while glaring furiously at the viridian teen.

"GODDAMN IT! Zapping yourself to break free, you're smart. However, I will become a hero, so I can't lose here!" shouted the purple haired teen angrily. Izuku, who was still in immense pain from the shock, slowly crept toward Shinso.

"You're so lucky! You're quirkless but you're smart enough to make your own gadgets!" shouted Shinso, smiling nervously as the boy inched closer to him.

'Shut up, you have such an amazing quirk' thought Izuku as he closed the distance between the two.

"Thanks to the fact I didn't have a combative quirk I couldn't enter the golden gates of the hero courses! Yet, somehow you got in! WHY DO YOU GET TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS BUT I CAN'T! YOU WEREN'T EVEN BLESSED WITH A QUIRK YET I WHO DID GET ONE, GOT T-THIS CURSE!" screamed Shinso angrily.

Izuku closed his eyes thinking back to all the people who have helped him get to where he was now. He envisions Mei's smiling face back when the two entered UA for the first time, Komori welcoming him to sit next to her, Iida chopping the air as the two teens chatted about school, Ochako's bubbly laughter whenever they chatted. Then All Might saving his life at the USJ, his parents telling him he could be a hero all those years ago, and Josuke & Jotaro giving him a thumbs up for good luck the last time they saw him.

'Your right…I was blessed, not just by my intelligence but the people in my life who have helped me get here! AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHY…', Izuku's thoughts were halted by him finally reaching the sleep deprived teen, grabbing his shoulders and kneeing him in the stomach with all the strength he could muster in his current state. Shinso retaliated by punching Izuku hard in the face causing his nose to bleed, however this didn't stop Izuku.

"I'll give you the honor of defeat, BY MY HANDS!" shouted Shinso as he grabbed Izuku's neck. The stand user summoned his stand to slap his opponent's hands away as he grabbed the boy's arm and tossed him over his shoulder, slamming him hard onto the ground. From his class's seating area, Bakugo winces remembering that move before the Battle Trial.

"I'M NOT GONNA LOSE!" exclaimed Izuku mentally as Shinso hit the grass, landing outside the ring. Izuku let out heavy huffs as it slowly hit him that he'd won. His stand appears beside him patting him on the back while striking a bizarre pose.

"SHINSO IS OUT OF THE RING! MIDORIYA MOVES ONTO THE SECOND ROUND!" announced Midnight smiling at Izuku, who looked dazed at his opponent on the ground. The stadium, which was filled with silence, erupted in applause at the outcome of the hard fought match.

Shinso laid in the grass reminiscing on why he wanted to become a hero. Which was to show that even though he had 'villainous' quirk, he wasn't what people claimed he was and by being a hero, he would prove them wrong. He is snapped back into reality when he sees Izuku's hand towards him, seemingly trying to help him out. He smacked his hand away abruptly before getting up on his own.

'Even after his horrendous injuries at the USJ, he's not letting those experiences hold him back, moving forward towards first place. Good job Midoriya, although I feel bad for Shinso as I understand his plight' thought the bandaged Aizawa.

"You two fought well, it got pretty hot and steamy in there, so why don't you both go cool off. Well put your hands together for our fierce competitors!" shouted Midnight into her mic as the crowd continued applauding. Shinso began walking to his corridor looking dejected.

'You wouldn't understand my struggle. Being quirkless and having a villainous quirk both suck but at least you can live somewhat normally. It's still unfair…' thought Shinso, but was stopped by Izuku asking him a question.

"Shinso…Why do you wanna be a hero?" asked Izuku, clutching arm which was burned by the electricity from his stand. The tired teen sighed before replying.

'His feelings…I'd probably be just like him..no he's just like how I felt before getting my stand. As I am now, what can I even say to him' thought Izuku looking at the dejected teen.

"You were awesome out there, Shinso!" shouted a girl from the general education area, who was waving at him. Shinso stared at her before a couple more students joined in praising his performance. The boy looked on in shock before smiling at the kind words of his peers. Even some heroes were complimenting his quirk!

"...They'll consider transfers to the hero course depending on the results here. Remember this, maybe I failed this time but I'm not giving up. I will show everyone that I've got what it takes to make it into the hero course, and I'll become a GREATER hero than ALL of you" said Shinso seriously.

"I can't wait to have you in our class" replied Izuku before his eyes blanked again.

'Oh, he got me again' thought Izuku as he was electrified again, making everyone in the stadium stare at him in shock, ironically.

"You're a real goofball for being so trusting, as if I wouldn't use my quirk on you again. Don't try to electrify yourself again, it'd be embarrassing for you to have to forfeit the tournament right now. So just promise me…you won't lose to anyone in an embarrassing way, it'd make me look bad" said Shinso, smirking as he walked away into his dark corridor.

Izuku only then realized he never apologized for everything he said, especially the stuff about trying something with Mei. Izuku shivered as he ran after Shinso in the dark corridor, leaving everyone confused as to what exactly occurred between the two teens.

{Intermission}

Quirk: Brainwashing

Student: Hitoshi Shinso

{Recovery Girl's Healing Station}

Izuku sat on the bed, resting after letting Recovery Girl heal him. He was going over strategies for his next fight when the door of the station burst open, revealing Mei and some members of his class.

"Izuku! You didn't follow the plan, a-and why did you get mad over..me?" asked Mei, who was both mad and confused. Izuku looked away, avoiding her gaze.

"It just pissed me off, I'm sorry" said Izuku. Mei walked up to him, pulling him in for a light hug as she ran her hand through his hair.

His classmates grinned as they now had more teasing material for their president. Izuku blushed profusely as he could smell her sweet bubblegum breath from how close she was.

"I forgive you silly. Just stick to the plan, plus you know I can defend myself with the babies we made together!" said Mei happily. Everyone else paled while Izuku chuckled in agreement.

"Anyways, amazing work Midoriya! You've set a good example for the other hero course students" said Iida smiling, while chopping the air. The others also congratulated him while he kept trying to stop Mei from poking his muscles.

"Yeah you were such an awesome, shroom!" said Kinoko clasping Izuku's hand, while beaming in awe.

"T-Thanks guys! So um, who's match is next" asked Izuku.

"Todoroki and Sero" said Ochako bubbly. Everyone grimaced at the fact Sero had to fight the most powerful student in the class.

"It's not that bad guys! I've totally got this…right?" said Sero, getting no response from the silent class.

"J-Just do your best!" said Kaminari with a weak smile. His attempt to reassure the tape manipulator was successful, but it didn't change the outcome of that match.

[Tournament Ring]

{THE FIRST ROUND'S HALF WAY DONE WITH THIS MATCH SERVING AS THE HALFWAY POINT! NEXT UP IS TENYA IIDA, THE SPEEDSTER WHO IF YOU BLINK, YOU'LL MISS EM! VERSUS MEI HATSUME, THE CREATIVE GENIUS WHO'S SO CUNNING THAT SHE SNUCK A TELEPORTING TOASTER INTO THE TEACHERS LOUNGE, WHICH MADE ME LOSE MY BREAKFAST THIS MORNING! I STILL HAVEN'T FORGIVEN YOU FOR THAT YOUNG LADY!} shouted Present Mic annoyed, Mei laughed as she scratched the back of her neck in embarrassment.

{WHAT'S THIS? IT LOOKS LIKE IIDA'S ALSO EQUIPPED WITH SUPPORT ITEMS?!" exclaimed Present Mic, shocked at what he was looking at. Iida gave a mini speech on how Mei persuaded him to try out her gear, managing to somehow win Midnight's favor. Izuku just chuckled at the absolute absurdity of what just occurred.

'Is Hatsume, really gonna do this…?' thought Izuku groaning, as he noticed the creepy smile etched onto Mei's face. She was definitely going to do it.

{START!} exclaimed Present Mic as Iida rushed toward Mei, who just began her plan.

"Testing, testing...Look at his incredible speed everyone!" shouted Mei into the microphone attached to her head. Aizawa groaned after realizing that she hijacked the speakers, while Izuku just grinned while covering his face with his hat.

'The problem children are multiplying' thought the mummy of a teacher who was trying to calm down his loud best friend who was panicking over the loss of control.

"Did you notice that your legs feel lighter, Iida? Well that's thanks to my custom Hatsubraces, which you're wearing! They can keep up with the user's speed, helping leave your foes in the dust! But that's not all, this baby right here is the Multigun! Not only can you freeze your enemies with it, you can also burn them as well!" exclaimed Mei as she proceeded to evade everyone of Iida's attacks whilst marketing her inventions to the world.

Only Izuku knew about the scheme beforehand leading to his class staring at him for answers, even Bakugo & Todoroki were puzzled.

"Don't look at me, she didn't tell me anything" said Izuku, whose face was still covered by the hat, before Kinoko yanked it off of his head.

"Yeah right Midoriya-kun. I heard you giggling as soon as she entered the arena. So, how long will she be doing this? You better not lie, I will choke you, shroom!" exclaimed an annoyed Kinoko. Izuku waved his arms frantically, trying to calm down the mushroom wannabe Darth Vader.

"Loook, she told me to enjoy the show! I assume it'll take 15 minutes at minimum…" muttered the boy as everyone groaned.

After the excruciating 15 minutes of self promotion were done, Mei bowed, walking towards the edge of the arena seemingly done. Iida panted whilst finally resting after the cat-and-mouse game was finally over,however Mei had other plans.

"Thanks everyone, I have nothing left to show! Well…one last thing actually.." said Mei eerily, as she pulled out a remote and pressed a button. Immediately, Iida went flying out of the ring and on the grass. Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead as a heavenly light fell upon her.

"Did that girl really just promote herself for 15 minutes…" said someone in the crowd. A few other people as well as heroes also muttered about it being such a waste of precious time.

"I can't believe your girlfriend pulled such an unmanly move, Prez" said Kirashima with a face full of disgust, as Izuku just shrugged ignoring his girlfriend remark while smirking.

"I'm just glad she didn't use the anti-matter gun on him" said Izuku cackling, which alarmed everyone in his class.

"I'll bite, what the heck is that, Midoriya?" asked Tsuyu with a finger to her chin. Izuku proceeded to stare at his class with the blankest expression they've seen on him yet before answering.

"So, you know how there was an article last week that the moon was missing a chunk of its surface…" said Izuku before everyone gasped at the implication, not needing him to finish.

"SURELY YOU JEST MIDORIYA! Even if she caused such an irresponsible thing to occur to the celestial body, she would never dare use such a devastating weapon on a student, would she? That's just cruel!" exclaimed Momo, who was uncharacteristically panicked. His fellow classmates nodded in agreement with her statement while Izuku just sighed.

"She would do whatever it takes to win, but she'd probably just cut the ring to disqualify her opponent instead of an actual attack" said Izuku matter-of-factly.

Everyone sighed in relief, as the next set of matches occurred. Izuku noticed Ochako shaking beside him as it was her turn and she had to face the demon of 1-A. Izuku followed her to her waiting room trying to reassure her.

[Ochako's Waiting Room]

"Hey, you've got this. You've done well to get here so being scared would just be redundant" said Izuku trying his best to help the gravity defying girl. She just sighed whilst clasping her palms together on a table in the room.

"Deku-kun, I really do appreciate what you're trying to do but I can't possibly win against a powerhouse like him.." muttered Ochako dejectedly. Izuku straightened up, pulling a notebook out of his trench coat.

"I came up with this on the fly but it just might be your ace in the hole! In here is a strategy made specifically for your battle" exclaimed Izuku confidently. Ochkao looked up at the broccoli teen and stared at the notebook in shock.

"I-I…Thanks Deku, really! I'll take you up on that, at least let me repay you. Y-You've helped me alot since the exam, you know" said Ochako, blushing as she held the notebook. Izuku was confused about what she meant.

"…You're welcome? We are friends after all" said Izuku, smiling. Ochako hugged him tightly before heading out of the waiting room.

"Wish me luck ok? I'll see you in the finals!" said Ochako with a determined expression, giving him a thumbs up. Izuku nodded before returning to the stands.

[Tournament Ring]

"ALL RIGHT! The bombastic powerhouse of class 1-A, Katsuki Bakugo! Versus the gravity queen Ochacko Uraraka!" exclaimed Present Mic before muting his microphone. He turned to his fellow teacher with a worried expression.

"Man, will she be okay against someone like him? We all know that kid's got anger issues and loves fighting brutally" said Present Mic, in an unusually quiet tone. Aizawa looked at him with a blank expression, he couldn't tell from the bandages, and sighed.

"Well see…" said the tired teacher, who was doubtful the loveable airhead could win against someone so skilled in combat.

"STARTT!" screamed Present Mic, as Ochako stood still staring at her opponent.

"What? You're scared now that the fights have begun huh, Round Face?" asked Bakugo with a serious face. She shrugged in response, which pissed off the ashen blonde, who rushed towards her and launched an explosion toward her side.

She dodged the explosion, touching her shoes to make herself lighter, she jumped into the air before launching herself at him. He grabbed her wrist twirling her around in a spinning motion, while setting off multiple explosions into her stomach.

Ochako winced in pain but managed to grab his shoulder with all of her padded fingers, releasing the hold of gravity on the angry teen. He suddenly started floating and was now floating above the grass outside the ring.

Ochako quickly released before he could propel himself back to the ring, however he managed to grip onto the outer edge of the ring while somehow keeping his body in the air.

"OH C'MON! That's not even fair!" shouted Ochako in an annoyed tone. The plan Izuku gave her was working so well but then Bakugo just had to know how to balance himself, she didn't even care to know why he learned to do that.

"Y-You're gonna have to do better than that to beat me! You're dead!" exclaimed Bakugo, who was now marching toward her, panting after finally climbing back onto the ring. Ochako smirked in response to his threat.

"Oh, so you're really trying to approach me again? Even after what just happened?" asked Ochako, with fake bravado.

"So, Deku gave you some tips on fighting me because there's no way you could have done this on your own. I'm gonna kill him after this, and to answer your dumbass question, of course i'm approaching you, cant kick your ass without getting closer!" shouted Bakugo maniacally. As he entered a close enough range for Ochako to act out her new plan.

"RELEASE! HOW DO YOU LIKE MY SHOOTING STARS, BAKUGO!" shouted Ochako, as a hail of rocks and debris fell onto her opponent. Everyone in the stadium was shocked at her genius plan, everyone noticed her gradually launching the debris into the air.

This seemingly planned out move would be her ultimate move to finish him off. Izuku grinned as he knew that was a faint, the girl was planning something interesting.

"A BUNCH OF SHITTY ROCKS?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" yelled Bakugo angrily, raising two hands into the air, shooting an explosion beam, effortlessly blowing up the debris attack.

Ochako used this opportunity to rush at him, removing his gravity and as he floated again, jumped into the air. She quickly retouched her shoes, making herself weightless as she launched a double roundhouse kick into the ashen blond's stomach. She then slammed him into the grass with an axe kick to the head, ending the match.

Everyone's jaw dropped as they just witnessed the explosive powerhouse get defeated by the bubbly kind girl in such a ferocious way. Izuku was the only one unphased as he gave her a thumbs up as she looked his way. She quickly turned away blushing for some reason that the stand user couldn't figure out.

Bakugo stood up from the grass then it hit him, that he got manhandled on national television by not even the strongest student in his class but her. She wasn't even on his radar as someone to worry about yet she somehow beat him. All thanks to Deku somehow.

'THAT DAMN DEKU, I'M GONNA MURDER HIM! He must be thinking this is hilarious, that quirkless loser is probably looking down on me after that' thought Bakugo angrily. He was snapped back to reality, by Midnight declaring the victor.

"ALRIGHT, quiet everyone! Bakugo is out of bounds. Uraraka moves onto the second round!" exclaimed Midnight, as Ochako fell to her knees due to exhaustion.

'Dad…Mom…I did it!' thought Ochako, who passed out smiling as medical bots came into the ring, carrying her to the healing station.

{Alright everyone, the first round is over! We'll move on to the second after a quick 15 minute break!} exclaimed Present Mic. Bakugo scowled as he walked to his corridor. Upon reaching the stairs, he spots Izuku walking presumably to see Ochako.

"…"

"See ya…I mean my match is next, so I'm heading to my waiting room!" said Izuku, quickly trying to get out of the confrontation but Bakugo wasn't having any of it.

"Nerd…you suggested that didn't you. That fucking annoying ass assault and the rock diversion. You helped her win" said Bakugo in a low tone. Izuku stared at him with a blank expression and sighed.

"Not completely. Uraraka-san came up with everything after the attempt to float you out of the ring. So if anyone's the cause of your loss, it was Uraraka's amazing plan" said Izuku matter-of-factly. Bakugo fumed but remained silent, walking back to the class's seating area.

[Ochako's Waiting Room]

Izuku walks up to the door, notices it was slightly opened and peered in. Ochako was talking to someone on the phone and crying, he was about to rush in until he noticed her smiling.

"…I can't believe I won!" said Ochako, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Your mother and I were watching it on the tv. We are so proud of you honey!" replied the person on the phone.

"Whether you won or lost honey, we know that our kind little astronaut is gonna be a great hero someday!" exclaimed the person on the phone, causing Ochako to erupt in tears. After hanging up, Izuku walked in startling her abit.

"H-How much did you h-hear?" asked a shocked Ochako. Izuku walked up to her, confusing the girl.

"Uraraka-san, you did even better than I thought. You kept your promise to meet in the finals and so did I, so let's give it our all!" said Izuku smiling, while putting out his hand for a fist bump. She blushed as she bumped his fist then motion cried into his shoulder, confusing the boy.

"I-I couldn't have done this without you! Thank you so much. Deku! I don't know how to repay you but..." muttered Ochako as she stared into his eyes.

He raised an eyebrow before being pulled in for a kiss. It lasted about a minute before their lips separated, and Izuku was close to passing out if he didn't remember about his upcoming match.

"U-Uraraka-san…that was.." muttered the green haired boy in shock.

He couldn't wrap his head around why she'd possibly kiss him. He really didn't feel like he did anything to deserve it. Izuku just stared at the girl in confusion. She turned away, trying to hide her beet red face but was failing horribly.

"I-I'm sorry for doing that! I'm just really grateful for your help, please forgive me" said Ochako running out of the room.

Izuku just looked at his phone for the time before heading to the ring, he could resolve that issue later, he just didn't have time for it. He had to focus on the upcoming battle because he had to fight the frosty powerhouse of 1-A.

[Hallway]

Izuku was lost in thought as he tried to process everything that occurred. Ochako kissed him! I mean someone who he viewed as a close friend, maybe liked him?!

The revelation was too much for the poor boy to comprehend at the moment. As he hit a wall and rubbed his head, looking up to see not a wall but the number two hero!

"Oh there you are" said the flame hero, standing menacingly, as the 6'5 man glared at the quirkless teen. It was one of the few encounters where Izuku felt true fear, while his stand was powerful, he didn't want to get burned to death.

"E-Endeavor?! Why are you back here, sir" asked Izuku, trying to be polite to the man. He scoffed before answering.

"I saw what you did out there, pretty good for a quirkless runt" said the man, Izuku decided to hurry to the arena to avoid the usual berating that he is always given due to being quirkless.

"My son, Shouto. He will surpass All Might, so he has no use fighting someone like you. It'd be a waste of his time, so I'd like for you to drop out of the tournament" said the number two hero, causing Izuku to turn back around to face the man.

"Wasting his time…? Sir, with all due respect, Todoroki-kun & you have underestimated me greatly. I'll give it my all, even though he is a difficult opponent" said Izuku, glaring at the man before walking off.

'That brat! Who does he think he is talking to? I was only trying to spare him the embarrassing loss from my Shouto. Whatever, it's his loss' thought Endeavor walking back into the stands.

[Tournament Ring]

{Both of these competitors have won top marks in the festival so far! However, there's only room for one of these two amazing students in this tournament!} exclaimed Present Mic, as the stadium erupted in applause, this match was going to be interesting.

The son of the number two hero versus a quirkless kid, who was turning heads the entire festival by getting first place in all the events.

'Izuku Midoriya…you claim to be quirkless but there's something off about you. During the cavalry battle, a wall prevented us from chasing after you & to my knowledge you weren't using any gadgets capable of doing that. What are you hiding, I'll figure out your secret…' thought Todoroki, staring at his opponent who was adjusting his gloves and tapped something on his watch.

{Shouto Todoroki, son of the flame hero, Endeavor! Versus, the number one underdog of the tournament, Izuku Midoriya, who's by the man with a plan for everything!} shouted Present Mic into the mic.

Izuku looked at the direction of the support course, seeing Mei eating a corn dog with a slushie on the side, waving at him with a goofy grin.

He then looked at his class; Kinoko waved at him smiling, Iida and the others gave him a thumbs up, Momo created a sign that said 'Good luck President' on it which was heartwarming.

Meanwhile, Ochako & him stared at each other awkwardly, before they both blushed and looked away. She managed to muster a wobbly thumbs up which made Izuku smile, giving him one last reassurance that he could do this.

[Unknown Bedroom]

A man sat in his chair watching the sports festival on his laptop. On the screen is Todoroki and Izuku having a stare off, the man sighed.

"Observe and Learn, they said. The flame hero's son will become an obstacle in the future, they said. Tomura, keep an eye on the green haired boy because he is hiding something, they said. What a load of crap!" exclaimed Tomura.

[Midoriya Residence, living room]

"LOOK AT MY BABY BOY! Tomoko, he made it so far! Beat everyone up dear, you've got this!" screamed Inko at the tv with a determined expression on her face. Tomoko looked at her little cousin smiling.

"Well I will say that he sure kicked that sleepy boy's ass! I am a little concerned that he is fighting the kid who created a damn iceberg just for one match" said Tomoko nervously with a worried expression. Josuke walked into the room carrying some popcorn and water bottles, placing them on the table.

"Nah mom, little Izuku's got this in the bag! I helped him train and everything, some ice won't stop him" exclaimed Josuke, striking a triumphant pose.

[The Kujoh Household]

Jotaro and his wife sat next to their daughter, Jolyne on the coach. Jolyne munched on some popcorn as her dad and mom stared at the tv.

"Dad, how the heck is Broccoli Boy going to beat Mr Freeze over there with no quirk? I feel like you're hyping him up for no reason" said Jolyne in a bored tone. Jotaro looked at her smiling.

"Your cousin is full of surprises, Jolyne. His intellect is his best weapon as well as the fact that everyone is underestimating him, giving him the upperhand" said Jotaro. Jolyne just raised an eyebrow as she shook her head.

"Jolyne, wouldn't it be cool if your cousin beat the ice kid somehow?" asked her mother, smiling, to which the problematic teen scoffed. She stared at her cousin on the screen wondering what the hell he could do against such a powerful opponent.

[Abandoned Apartment]

A girl with ash-blonde hair tied into two buns, stared at the tv in the apartment with a crazed expression. Her eyes staring at the green haired teen with lustful eyes as she heard the announcer say his name.

"Izuku Midoriya huh…he reminds me of that one boy. I've can't wait to meet him!" said the girl giddily as she put a knife near her face.

"I wonder what your blood will taste like…" muttered the girl licking her lips as she leaned against the wall panting excitedly. Bizarrely enough, police received reports about bystanders hearing noises coming from an empty apartment in Hosu later that day. However when they finally arrived at the apartment, all they found was a TV replaying the sports festival and the floor sprayed with an unidentifiable liquid forming a puddle near the wall.

[Back at the Festival]

{START!} shouted Present Mic.

'Knowing Todoroki, he'll come at me with ice to quickly end the match. I can't let him freely use that move so I should find a way to prevent that…' thought Izuku as he felt the air around him become colder. He pulled out some gloves from his trench coat, causing Todoroki's eyes to narrow.

"You've somehow managed to rank first in all of the events so far, I won't continue. You're place in the tournament ends here" said Todoroki coldly as he summoned a wave of ice towards Izuku. Izuku faked flicking his fingers when in reality The Day punched the incoming ice to pieces.

"I expected you to do that!" exclaimed Izuku, who escaped from the attack unscathed. The whole stadium is filled with an intense wind, causing everyone to gasp at the display from the quirkless boy. All Might watched from the boy's corridor in shock at what he just witnessed.

{WHOAAA! HE DESTROYED THE ICE WITH HIS INVENTION!} shouted Present Mic in awe at the feat.

Todoroki decided to repeat the attack before another gust of wind shattered the attack. The ice wielder groaned in frustration.

Izuku mentally took note that the boy was using big attacks to end the battle meaning that his quirks weakness was exhaustion from overuse, however something irked Izuku.

'Why isn't he using his fire!' thought Izuku.

"So, you're trying to wear me out? I won't let that happen. I'm going to end this quickly." said Todoroki, as he sent out an ice wall.

Izuku was confused before his stand mentally warned him that an attack was incoming from the right side of the wall. Izuku barely dodged the swipe at his torso from Todoroki's ice covered hand.

"Flame on!" shouted Izuku trying to get Todoroki back into his line of sight. As the wall melted from the heat of his gauntlets, Todoroki summoned ice on the ground causing Izuku to slip.

Quickly activating Full Cowling, he sped towards the ice wielder, hitting him with a punch to the stomach. Todoroki coughed blood on the ground at how powerful the punch was, sending out another barrage of ice but Izuku shattered every attack with his gusts of wind. Todoroki started to pant as he was growing more and more exhausted from the battle.

"ENOUGH!" shouted Todoroki angrily, as a fireball shot out of his hands towards Izuku. Izuku quickly summoned The Day to tank the blast but he still took a bit of the impact, as his arms were burned.

Izuku stared wide eyed at the teen as he never saw him use his flames ever, even if the whole class knew he could use fire. The boy never used that side of his quirk for some reason, meaning that Izuku was pushing him that far.

"Woah, look at his fire! It got through that Midoriya kid's defenses" said someone in the crowd.

"Yeah, why didn't he use that from the start, he would have easily won!" said someone else in the crowd.

"You've made me use my flames…" muttered Todoroki, looking like he had seen a ghost.

"Todoroki…you're shivering? Your quirk's reaching its limits, how about you use that fire to heat this battle up. Because Todoroki-san, the cold never bothered me anyway" said Izuku, smirking as he clenched his fist. Todoroki glared at him, furious about how he could joke during a time like this.

"I've never got to say this to you, Midoriya. Your jokes are unbearable, so do me a favor and CHILL OUT!" shouted Todoroki, releasing a mountain of ice towards Izuku, who just used his gauntlets to counter again.

"TODOROKI, EVERYONE IS GIVING IT THEIR ALL HERE! YOUR ONLY COMPETING WITH ONE HALF OF YOUR QUIRK! HOW HAS THAT WORKED OUT FOR YOU, HUH? One measly burn would?! SO STOP FUCKING AROUND AND COME AT ME WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!" screamed Izuku angrily, so loudly that it was broadcasted to the world. The stadium went quiet and people had various reactions to his speech.

His class was shocked to see their president so mad, while Mei grinned at her best friend's claim to be taken seriously. Heroes were baffled at why he wanted his opponent to fight him at full power, thinking surely the boy was joking.

"YOUR PISSING ME OFF!" shouted Todoroki, running up and punching Izuku in the gut, while Izuku grabbed his head and kneed his face, causing the ice wielder to stumble back, wiping the blood from his nose.

'Midoriya's offensive capabilities are incredible, as well as his defensive. However, he still hasn't showcased that mysterious power' thought Todoroki.

"Midoriya! How can you talk about me holding back when you're hiding that power of yours!" said Todoroki, punching Izuku in the side with an iced fist. Izuku coughs up blood as he backs up.

'HOW THE FUCK DOES HE KNOW ABOU-...' Izuku remembered when he told TD to block Todoroki's team and wanted to punch himself over that mistake.

"Alright Todoroki, I'll use it! However, you've gotta go all out on me!" exclaimed Izuku, grinning hard. Todoroki grinned as well, thinking back to why he wanted to be a hero. Izuku had finally gotten through to the teen as a flame emerged from the boy's left side.

"I will be a hero! Even if I have to use these cursed flames! Midoriya, after this no matter who wins, I want answers" exclaimed Todoroki, although he said the last part quietly.

"Fine, I'll tell you everything because I didn't expect you to take me seriously!" exclaimed Izuku with a crazed grin.

Throwing his trench coat to the ground, revealing his ripped gym uniform. Both teens ignored menacing lecherous stares from the female students aimed their way.

"You're insane for wanting me to go all out, let's end this!" shouted Todoroki. As he readied up his biggest attack yet, combining both sides as he raised a burning palm towards Izuku.

"SHOUTOOOOOOO! So you've finally accepted it! YES! EXCELLENT! YOU CAN FINALLY SURPASS ME, AND FULFILL MY AMBITIONS!" exclaimed Endeavor cackling maniacally, while walking closer to the edge of the stands.

{A SUDDEN PEP TALK FROM ENDEAVOR, HUH?" said Present Mic surprised.

Back in the ring, Cementoss got up from his chair and rushed towards the ring erupting pillars to stop the two from attacking each other as things were getting out of hand, while Midnight ripped her sleeve off releasing a gust of pink mist towards the two teens. Izuku leapt over the spikes of ice on the ground, floating above the spikes as his Stand pummeled through the waves of ice.

"Midoriya…" said Todoroki, about to release his attack.

'COME AT ME!" thought Todoroki. A few seconds later, the entire stadium filled with smoke. As everyone held their breaths at the fact the battle between a quirkless kid and the number two's son led to something like this.

"I love a good explosion, Izuku! You're so lucky!" exclaimed Mei, using zoom into the smoke and smiled once she saw who was left in the ring. Ochako clasped her hands together, hoping that her classmates didn't hurt themselves too badly.

"I don't believe that bigger is better but…that was something else, jeez" said Cementoss, wiping sweat from his forehead.

{I speak for everyone here when I say this, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TEACHING YOUR CLASS?" exclaimed Present Mic wh fell off his chair due to the intense wind released from the two attacks collision.

"All that air was heated in an instant, making it expand" said Aizawa matter-of-factly.

{What a blast. Though, I still can't see anything due to the smoke. Has the match been decided?" asked Present Mic, while Midnight got up from the ground.

The smoke disrupted, revealing the form of Izuku still standing, as his gym uniform was completely wrecked. Midnight quickly caught him as he began to fall, and grabbed his trench coat covering his manhood.

"Todoroki is out-of-bounds! Midoriya moves onto the Semi-Finals!" exclaimed Midnight, smiling as she looked down at the resting underdog. Medical bots came to retrieve Todoroki who lent on a wall, his gym outfit was torn in half, he was unconscious but smiling.
