Before we begin today. Quick thanks to Z75 here on this site. He helped me a bit with some basic tips. Please check him out. He makes good stories. Now onto today's story!
What it?
What if… Fire!
"ARE YOU READY~!" Mic yelled out as the stadium began to cheer. "Now we come to the first battle of the second round and It will be to equal parts the hottest battle in this round while also being the coolest to come!" He proclaimed as both contestants came out of their tunnels.
"On the one side, we have the ice-cold powerhouse of 1-A! Shoto Todoroki!" He said as the cameras zoomed in on the youngest Todoroki. His expression was unreadable like always but it seems to be much colder than normal. "He has won his prior battle in an instant by freezing his opponent in a giant glacier. He came first in the cavalry battle, managing to snatch the 10 million points from Team Midoriya and he came second in the obstacle course!" Mic explained again and the stadium cheered again.
"On the other side, we have the fire drake of 1-A! Izuku Midoriya!" Mic said and the cameras zoomed in on the other boy who was staring determined at the boy opposite to him. "He has beaten his prior enemy with a volley of flame-projectile but had enough control to only push him out of bounce without deep burns. He is the winner of the obstacle race where he managed to outsmart his opponents but came only in 3rd place during the cavalry battle as he had lost the 10 million points to team Todoroki!" Mic listed his past achievements and the crowd also cheered for him.
"It is save to say that both are evenly matched, in terms of achievements in this year's sports festival." Eraserhead, from beside Mic, said. "Both have shown a great number of their abilities and It will be fascinating to see which one of those two will win this battle." He finished and the masses agreed with him by cheering for their favorite.
"OK, Thank you for thrilling the people for the match to come, Eraser, Mic!" Midnight thanked her two colleagues from the center of the stadium. "I hope you both remember the rules of the battle for the last round?" Midnight asked and both boys nod to that, before returning to staring at each other. "Delightful!" Midnight exclaimed and Cementos, who was standing next to her, simply shook his head at her antics. "Good, are you two ready?" She asked and both broke their staring contest to look at her and nodded before returning. "OHH, Ken do you see that, they give me the cold shoulder!" She exclaimed before returning to her job. "Ok, if you both are ready then… READY! …. FIGHT!" She said as she let her whip crack to signal the start of the second round.
A few seconds passed and both continued their little staring contest, both kept their eyes locked even as Todoroki sent a small wave of ice from the right side of his body at Midoriya only for him to block that with a stream of flames from his left hand. Neither breaks eye contact as the fire and ice fight for dominance. The stream of flames then overpowered the waves of ice and forced the youngest Todoroki to break eye contact to evade being hit by the flames.
"OH! And it has begun! Our good Ice-Master starts off with his cold moves but is quickly countered by the Sun of 1-A!" Mic says as Todoroki sents 3 more waves of Ice at Izuku who quickly counters but this time with small fire projectiles. Destroying the Ice waves before they can hit their target. "What are you teaching your kids, Eraser? They move as pros would!" Mic exclaimed.
"I didn't teach them much, they have a natural affinity for over-the-top things." Eraser stated but smirks under his scarf/capture weapon.
"Here you have it heard first! Eraser doesn't teach these kids anything!" Mic exclaimed with a laugh and Eraser can be heard grumbling in the background.
Just as Todoroki finishes another valley of attacks Midoriya speaks up. "Are you done playing around, Todoroki?" He asked his opponent as he let his left side burst in flames.
"I will win without his powers, I don't need them!" Todoroki yelled back at him. "Has he paid you to convince me to use his powers?" He asked annoyed but his accusation simply annoyed Midoriya.
"Oh right! The mighty Shoto Todoroki doesn't need his full power to defeat the lowly Izuku Midoriya. He hasn't even gotten first place in the normal exam!' Fuck off, I have you on the run with only using my left hand to counter your whole right side." Midoriya countered with a mocking voice. "You know what, I will go full out yet and If you don't follow up I will blast you into the wall behind you!" He exclaimed before his jacket suddenly burst into flames as they burn it away to revile that his right arm and back are also now on fire.
"OHH, do you see that Eraser, your student is ON fire!" Mic began as they even felt the immense heat radiating off of Midoriya in the Announcement booth. "This heat is insane! You could think that a small star had just descended on the field." Mic said and the spectators could see the grass around the arena beginning to dry up and even some being burn away. Both Midnight and Ken were now visual sweating and so were many in the first few lines of the spectators.
"I will never use his powers!" Todokoki exclaimed as he also felt the heat and used his ice to cool him down. The frost that had built up on his right side was already gone, as was any remaining ice in the arena. The concrete of the arena began to bubble and melt.
"THAT POWER IS YOURS YOU DUMBASS!" Midoriya yelled back as he formed a ball of flames in the palm of his hand. It kinda looked like a star to anyone who didn't turn away from the immense light emitted. "SO ARE YOU READY TO GO ALL OUT!?" He yelled again and the star turned from orange to a shining bright white.
His answer came as the youngest Todoroki ignited his left side in a blazing firestorm. Ice is also beginning to cover his right side. "YEAH!" He yelled out. Shoto used his ice to cool the air around him repeatedly. Even the grass behind him begins to freeze but just as suddenly he used his fire to increase the temperature to send a shockwave of fast-expanding air at Izuku.
Izuku saw the shockwave coming and also used his Super-Move. "Corona-Flare!" He yelled out as he took the star into his hand before making a throwing motion with his right hand but instead of sending the small star flying a gigantic blaze of flames flew towards Todoroki.
Midnight and Cementos both sense that something big is coming and decided to step in, as this all happens in member secondes, Midnight's Somnambulist and Ken's Concrete walls don't do shit as Midnight's attempt is simply blasted away and the Concrete walls disintegrated upon contact with the flames but the have the unintended effect of sending pieces of the wall flying around.
So after the dust clean both boys are still standing, their attacks have canceled out each other nearly completely out but while Todoroki had burns all over his body and the wall behind him had black burn marks, concrete blocks, and shards of Cementos' Wall are stuck in the wall behind Izuku.
"Ho-How can y-you still stand?" Todoroki asked as he wavers in an attempt to stay standing. Midoriya stands opposite Todoroki, 2 large holes in his chest and his left arm are missing. The wounds burn-in emerald flames. All Eyes are on him as no one dares to speak in fear of causing the boy to die.
"Ha, this is nothing but a scratch!" He exclaimed before flames began filling the area in his chest and rebuilt an arm before vanishing to reveal that it looks like no damage was done at all. "Good as new!" He said as flexed his new arm before Todoroki lets himself fall with a smile on his face.
"WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE BATTLE!" Mic yelled out as the silence of the stadium was broken by him, they began to cheer for the boy who had just won.
"*cough*, AND THE WINNER BY KNOCKOUT IS~ Izuku Midoriya!" Midnight declared loudly as she knew that everyone had already come to the same conclusion.
"That was an Intense battle, Mummian-man! Are you sure that they are only first-year students, they could have fooled me into being 2nd or even 3rd-year students!" Mic began and Eraser's invisible smirk returned.
"Indeed, they all have great potential and I hope that they better not let it go to waste." Eraser commented. While they both were talking, Izuku had helped to place Shoto on the stretcher of the bots that would bring him to Recovery Girl. He would also go to her to see if he was ok. He had holes in his chest and lost an arm but it didn't feel like it had been ripped off like it should have when it was hit by the concrete block, but instead, as if it had only lost its form in the flames and could simply be reformed. That and the fact that he didn't want to give away a potential weakness were the reason that he didn't freak out when he saw his arm missing.
"Ehm, did I have a stoke or has Midoriya just reformed his arm out of flames?" Denki asked as he looked at where his classmate just stood. "Why didn't he do that when he was beaten up by that bird villain?"
"No, No!" Tsuyu appeased the blond. "You didn't have one, I also saw that. Now that I think about it. His costume was soaked in water when he was hurt by that bird villain." Tsuyu answered as she thought back to the Nomu.
"So we have his weakness figured out… water?" Kyoka asked as she looked between her classmates.
"I mean," Eijiro began, "It is pretty obvious that fire is weak to water. It is also not so uncommon, I mean we have at least one other person in the class that has a weakness to water." He began and a few looked at him strangely, "What?"
"Sorry," Mina began as she chuckled a bit. "It is strange to see you state something like that." She began and Eijiro looked offended at that but before he could continue she began to talk again. "And you are right, my acid can be diluted by water pretty easily." She said and he looked at her shocked.
"Really?" He asked and she nodded simply, "Ha, I didn't even have you in mind!" He declared. "I was thinking of Bakubro, his sweat is like nitroglycerin so I was thinking that if you simply make his hands wet with water he couldn't use it."
"I agree, even I would suffer from things like rain." Hagakure stated. "I mean it would still be hard to see me but in the rain, there would be a silhouette of me where no rain falls." She stated and many of them agreed that they had in some way, shape, or form a weakness to water… well everyone except the resident frog-girl.
"Hmpf!" Recovery Girl began. "It seems like your arm is in good shape. I can also detect no abnormalities in your torso. It looks all fine but I want to do a more in-depth check of you after the festival is over!" She orders Midoriya.
"Yeah, that sounds reasonable. I also want to know what happened and would have requested one in-depth check-up after I won." He answered with a smile, making the old lady laugh a bit.
"Aren't you oddly confident, wouldn't you say?" She asked and Izuku just shrugged at that.
"We will see, maybe I can see into the future!" He joked. "I will be back later, see ya!" He said as he left the nurse's office wing in the Sports Festival Stadium.
