Flames sprouted from the sides of the cement battle field. Yuko had her feet rested on top the seat in front of her, while she watched Shoto and Izuku take their places. Everyone stared intensely at the two below, though Yuko only looked unamused, the same going for Katsuki.

"This first match of the second round!At this year's sports festival, both have shown top class performances! Midoriya versus Todoroki!"

Yuko raised an eyebrow at the growing tension between the two.

"It's like two great rivals fighting against eachother! Now!--"

Yuko's crimson red eyes shown with interest as the two readied their stances.

"Start!"

Right away a blast of ice was shot towards Izuku, who countered. Yuko ignored Present Mic's commenting as she examined Izuku. 'He broke his finger. He's willing to break himself to win? But he had no idea what Todoroki would do as an attack... but... he's planning something...' Once again a wave of ice was sent his way, only for it to be stopped by the greenette.

Yuko's attention was pulled to the red head that had arrived, "it started?!"

"Kirishima! Good job making it to the second round." Congratulated Denki.

"Yeah. I'll be up against you next Bakugo, be sure to put up a good fight." The red head grinned down at the blonde

"I'll kill you."

"I'd like to see you try!" The grin feel from his face. "But man you and Todoroki. You can both shoot out powerful attacks. Like 'bam'!"

Yuko frowned at the boys, "and you can do it with no time lag." Commented Hanta.

"I'm not shooting them off. Don't underestimate 'em." Began Katsuki, "if you overuse your muscles the muscle fibers tear, and if you keep running, you'll run out of breath." He leaned forward, looking down at his arm. "Quirks are physical abilities, too. They must also have some kind of limit."

"If I think about it like that, I guess that makes sense... then, against the instant killer, Todoroki, Midoriya wants... an endurance match huh?"

Ice was once again sent the freckled male's way, he countering, costing all the fingers on his right hand. Shoto created a ice ramp, and started running up it, advancing towards Izuku. Izuku sent another blast his way, Shoto jumping at Izuku, only for the male to dodge. Ice began to encase his foot, Izuku having to send a blast to stop it, though this time with his arm instead.

Shoto, fortunately was able to stop just before he made it out of bounds, creating a small ice wall behind him. Yuko placed her feet down, replacing them with her arms, leaning forward. Her interest was now on the fight.

Another wave of ice was sent towards Izuku, his arm broken, as well as the fingers on his right hand. Everyone thought this was his loss, but they were proven wrong when he blasted the ice and Shoto back. Shoto, at the right moment created another small ice wall, stopping just before the bounds.

Yuko's crimson eyes narrowed on the half-n-half male, raising an eyebrow at his trembling figure. 'Has Midoriya noticed?'

"Come at me with everything you've got!"

Yuko's eyes widened, 'he's... trying to help him?'

Shoto began to run at Izuku, except his movements were much slower than before. Jumping at him, soon as the scared male lifted his right foot, Izuku made his move. Powering up, he landed a punch on the male, sending him back. Though Shoto was able to freeze part of the male's arm, just barely grazing it. Once the ice and fire quirked male was standing again, he sent a wave of ice towards Izuku. The greenette was able to dodge, due to the slow movements of the ice. Shoto ran at Izuku once again, Izuku sending a blast at close range sending them both back. Wave after wave was sent, all slower than the last.

'Isn't he in enough pain with all those injuries? What's driving him to continue? Surely it's not 'cause he wants to win, right?'

Yuko's eyes widened as Izuku brought his thumb up to his mouth, as a wave of ice came towards him. Shoto seemed distant as Izuku advanced, landing a blow to his abdomen once again.

Frost began to cover his right side, he once again seeming distant. Izuku was closing in, before landing a punch once again.

Yuko gasped as fire sprouted from Shoto's left side, the fire filling the arena.

"Shoto!"

Yuko looked over towards the stand, finding the flaming number two hero.

"Have you finally accepted yourself! That's it! Good! It all starts from here for you! With my blood, you will surpass me... You will fulfil my desire!"

"Endeavor suddenly shouts words of encouragement...? What a doting father."

Ice, wind, and fire sprouted around the two as they readied a stance. Midnight and Cementos activated their quirks, hoping to stop the fight. Shoto sent a wave of ice, Izuku dodging and jumping at Shoto. Fire was launched at the greenette, a cement wall getting in between. Though that didn't stop it, as Izuku's and Shoto's moves clashed against the wall, sending a whirlwind of smoke, cement and wind, around the stadium.

Yuko covered her face, turning around as the wind clashed against her and her classmates. Once it began to clear, she sighed, turning to face back to the battle. The smoke cleared and everyone gasped as Izuku slid down the wall, unconscious, Shoto still in bounds.

"M-Midoriya is out of bounds... Todoroki advances to the third round!"

Yuko could only watch in shock as they placed Izuku on a stretcher, while Shoto made his way towards the tunnels.
