And the Sport Festival ends, but with a twist. A special mission was assigned to the 1-A class!
The Match Duels resumes, at least...
The Yuuei's Sports Festival of this peculiar year was giving strange developments, both on mass media, or during several hero forums websites. The news about a vampire with powerful skills was hitting the scene worldwide.
The whole fray calms momentarily once the second round of duels resumes, once the fight between Izuku and Katsuki ends with a victory for the young warlock vampire, also knows as vryko-warlock. Still freshly burned on many witness memories, was the scene with the dragon summoning by the vampire was giving to entire audience, or even the entire world, that Midoriya Izuku, if he wants to fight at full power, they shouldn't drop the guard, or they face an absolute power unleash with deadly consequences.
Even so the next matches was also fast paced, like the second round between Iida and Fumikage, that ends with a smashing victory of the Dark Shadow user against the Engine quirk, that simply gets pushed outside the ring.
Next duel was a fight between the acid quirk user Mina and the steel quirk user Tetsutetsu, that gives a more prolonged match. During the long battle, and more classical on a quirked world, both teenagers clash as Mina spills acid against the Tetsutetsu's steel endurance, along a hit-and-run match ends with a trap created by Mina, and a powerful punch from her against a tired Tetsutetsu against a pool of acid goo, ending the duel, after seventeen minutes of fighting.
The last duel of the second round, ends with a blizzard, a wall ice, and a monumental freezing from Todoroki against Momo, ending the match in less than one minute.
Again Izuku wanders along the corridors during the entire classmate's duels, as himself thinks that some villains could lurking on some hidden corner.
Midoriya vs Fumikage battle...
"And now the semi-finals matches are defined...", Midnight announces the results, "The first duel are between Midoriya and Fumikage...", while still dares to poke fun about the result, "What kind of match will be ?", as the entire audience only gambles about how many seconds the crow-face student will survive.
Midnight quickly clear his face and throat from her own embarrassment, before resumes and announces the next duel after the vampire one, "And the second match will be the surprising Mina, and the Endeavor's son, Todoroki!", that gives from Todoroki, a disdainful smirk, and an hate glare against his own father.
Settled the two matches, Izuku stares the worrisome demeanour from his adversary, before notices the sudden strike once Midnight signals the duel's start.
"Damn it… Their Dark Shadow is insanely fast...", Izuku snarls, cursing his own distraction. Fumikage repeats the same attack, but Izuku shields with the Quen Active Shield Sign Spell, that was the second main skill of the Witcher Sign Quen, and also the signature one of such quick magic spell.
The Quen Active Shield spell enables Izuku to create a magic barrier that protects him for several seconds from some quirk, magic and physical attacks, and regenerate some stamina and vitality on the process. The major inconvenience was the time and damage reduction are very variable.
Meanwhile Present Mic notice the Sign activation, and the rune symbols, and asks to the annoyed older vampire Eraserhead, "More magic ?!", ignoring the fact that every Pro Hero, and everything else too, wanted to know the same thing.
It takes some time to Aizawa answers, "Along the Dark Schneider arcane magic powers, the young vampire also learns the Gwynbleidd magic, or Geralt of Rivia Witcher Magic..."
As the unpronounceable name echoes to the audience, or even the Pro Heroes, Aizawa coughs due to the embarrassment, while displays a crude handwritten page to the jumbo screens, and explains:
"This kind of magic was originally a collection of quick-casting spells, that is also called Signs, that some slayers, and swordsman use to defeat their opponents...", and takes some time breath, "And from my opinion, it's more akin to me to use, than the Dark Chaos of Destruction magic, that make my blood boil...", while points his finger to the Quen line, as resumes, "There are five main Signs, and each one had a skill tree, ranging from the base Level 0, to the maximum Level 4, ignoring some alternating evolutions...".
The older vampire pauses, "Either way Midoriya actually sustains the Level 2 for the majority of Signs, and there's a special sixth and seventh sign, where there's no known information about their real powers...", and resumes before loses focus on the battle, "Since all Signs acts like a standard quirk, then Izuku acts like a seven quirk user..."
The whole explanation was interrupted when Fumikage almost burns when a violent wave of flames bursts from the Izuku's body, "I… reached the Level 3 of the Igni Sign, Great Igni Intensity", making Fumikage a little worried, "At least, when I attack you swiftly, I forced you to use magic more speedy to cast... But even weaker that your terrible sorcerer powers, this disadvantage is quickly narrowing."
The chain of thoughts was breached when Izuku casts a Dark Schneider magic spell, "Wah-Ko!... I summon the Flight's Mage of the Mountain Wind!...", giving the ability to fly, "CELESTIAL FLIGHT RAVEN!...", making Fumikage shocked and disgusted by himself, "Gwah! Just a few seconds distraction, and this freak manage to cast that thing!"
Aizawa also makes a displeased outlook, but also annoyed, "And the most bizarre thing is the crow-like quirk student can't fly, while now that sorcerer can fly like a bird!"
Izuku now could dodge and avoid the next wave of attacks from the Dark Shadow lurking on Fumikage, since flying at will gives to ways to delivers magic attacks, "Skiss! Skurat! Shumega! Eni-Ono-In! Release the endless fire and brimstone from fiery Hell!", while the incantation chant itself makes a panic surge on Fumikage, before a swarm of blades made from magic fire energy encircles him, "SODOM!", making the Dark Shadow entrapped.
"Hold down… Midoriya-kun!", said Midnight, "That spell was too dangerous!"
While flying, Izuku stares Fumikage, just in time to the Dark Shadow reapers and makes a straight projection against the vampire. Izuku quickly notices the counter-attack, and decide to make an huge risk. In less than a tenth of second, the left hand of Izuku store and discharge the Witcher Sign Aard at the Level 4, releasing the Aard Telekinetic Shock Wave, blasting the Dark Shadow in pieces, and the the Fumikage itself was pushed against the fracturing cement ring. Aizawa was also stunned, "A Level 4 Witcher Sign already ?!", while scream during the live broadcast.
Izuku quickly flies downwards, as he wants to punch Fumikage from the blasted ground, before he could recover from the shock, or his Dark Shadow could regenerate first. First Izuku strike, "Slayerd! Slayerd!", while Izuku gathers above him an increasing globe of dark energy, coated by lightning, "Dark Thunder of Balmor, I summon you to honour your Blood pact!", and use the right arm to send the magic energy directly to Fumikage, "Come Lightning from the Darkness and Strike!", blasting their adversary far away, "BALVOLT!"
It gives another victory to Izuku, reaching the finals, while from their classmate's stand, their mood was also changing, "Jesus Christ!", exclaim Todoroki, "What terrible overpowered Izuku was during all the Duels!", and resumes once make a swallow dry, "Fighting against him… It his like fighting all Hero Class Students at once… No… It is like a hundred quirk user monster, even it was a terrible underestimation...".
The ice and fire quirk user swirls around his own strategies, and thinks a way to use the limited space of the duel ring to find a way to force Izuku out of the ring, as fast he can, "Or I will be instantaneously defeated...", since even Bakugou once tried and failed.
Once the mess was cleaned, the second duel of the semifinals begins, and Todoroki ice quirk quickly defeat Mina without much effort, leaving the final match between Izuku and Todoroki.
Secrets shared...
Since the final match was delayed about half hour, the two boys walked away to a more private room, much due to Todoroki wants to share some secrets to the vampire.
Izuku was a little nervous, and very oddly annoyed to this sudden invitation, specially they would soon be the ultimate rivals on the final match, "What do you want ?!", said Izuku with all fangs elongated to be visible.
Todoroki sighs, while tries to avoid the experience of being bitten by a thirsty vampire, "It will be… a little odd to congratulate you to reach the finals against me...", and shakes his weakness, "But the main topic is about me and my father Endeavor..."
Izuku nods without making an unpleasant smirk, "The infamous hero, covered by flames, and serious problems with the justice ?!"
Todoroki swallowed sweaty, and shakes his head while scans the vampire gestural mannerisms, to find some impeding bursts, like his friend Katsuki does when it was upset, "Even I don't like too much my own father, due to his own unhealthy ambitions to become the first hero..."
"Megalomania is the most nefarious attitude of every human ruler, no matter the historical era...", said Izuku just to be cut off my Todoroki, "And you vampires are both of you too stubborn and cold hearted, may be due to your absurd lifespan ?!", and makes a pitted remark, "Specially you, as a genuine 15 years old vampire! For me it's the beginning of a great career, but for you it's just an episode!..."
Izuku sighs, "My mother had about 200 to 300 years old, and some of my oldest vampires of my acquittance, some of them almost reaches 1500 years, but they are visible old…", and resumes, "For me, I can live several centuries, may be reaching 2000, 4000 years or more...", and make a straight point remark, "Basically, for your human perspective, we are almost immortals..."
The human boy shakes own running thoughts, and return to the real conversation topic, "By the way… Have you heard about Quirk Marriages ?!", making Izuku a little surprised.
Once the younger vampire waits a little, he answers, "I read some records about the abusive power of your father due to choose and reject several wifes just to raise a powerful quirk on some descendant… What a joke! He never knows about artificial genetic engineering ?!", making Todoroki shocked and with some enraged disgust, "A joke… right...", and slams his hand against the table, "And you, on their place, would make artificial quirks! A thing forbidden by international law!".
Izuku jumps due to yelling, noticing that he scratch a serious wound, "Calm down, Todoroki-kun!", Izuku waves their hands.
Even after such tense mood, Todoroki manage to calms down, without leaving all hidden revolted nature that still bubbles, before sit on the chair and resumes, "My quirk was created by the combination of an ice quirk mother, which due my father abuse, she lose her sanity and now lives on a psychiatric hospital", with a tearful and enraged voice tone, specially when pins the last sentence, "And my monstrous fire quirk father… And since then, I never use my father size completely, just to show on him that I can defeat you", and point shakily to the green-haired vampire, "Only using my mother quirk factor...", making a strange feeling on Izuku, "He's suffering a kind of traumatic stress", said to himself.
Todoroki then stands up and runs straight out off the room, with some tears on his eyes, while Izuku remembers some tips from Knuckleduster, "A fogged mind, darkened my own revenge will only destroy by himself, never let the despair consume you...", and he knows that how Todoroki could easily slide to be a revengeful monster.
Final Duel: Todoroki vs Midoriya !
Several minutes later, the stage are set for the final match between Izuku and Shouto, while both egos projection gives an insane amount of pride and blood-lust, like the ancient gladiators from the Rome Coliseum, where the final act ends with a fight between the best of the best warriors.
Midnight shout, "Fight!", aloud, and both the two boys runs to a mutual physical punch at the first launch. Quickly, Todoroki launches a vicious blizzard to entrap Izuku swiftly, just to seen him escape using the Raven flying spell.
The vampire smiles, "If you think that I'm weak with ice, even I don't have much affinity, you're terrible wrong...", just to witness the dumbfounded shocked face on the ice quirk user:
"King of Ice and Snow, I request your Ancient Pact...", Izuku eyes turns blank, and his hands casts a white ball, surrounded by black clouds, that form above the Coliseum, "May shall laid your Frozen Earth, and your Frozen Glaciers!", where quickly a giant snowstorm begins to form, magically, "King of Ancient White Deathly Destruction, Roll in furious Rage, and Destroy them all!", and the entire duel ring are affected by a giant storm that dwarfs the former Todoroki blizzard, "RIDE THE LIGHTNING SNOWSTORM!", since the Izuku ice magic spell also had a little lightning element support.
Endeavor himself jumps from the Pro Heroes stand in panic, "Unbelievable… This MONSTER also controls ice ?!", while their yelling also makes the other heroes stunned with both situations.
The magic spell impact freeze the entire audience, as Katsuki himself feels some genuine worrisome, and mild panic, "The Half-and-Half bastard...", while tries to rationalize, "Just launch an ice storm, and that Deku counters with a greater version!… This WTF vampire is a truly monster!"
Once the magic snowstorm appears to fade, Todoroki decide to use his ice quirk again, freezing the entire field with an impenetrable wall of sharp ice. The ice shards almost hits the upper Coliseum rings, where several spectators screams and panics with the impending disaster. Even as a child, the son of the second ranked Pro Hero had a bad reputation of their sheer ruthlessness, specially when he could freeze the entire building in order to catch their prays.
"That's one of my ice techniques!", Todoroki delivers proudly to the audience, hoping that could catch the sorcerer before the things go awry, "Ice Veil!".
A few seconds later, the giant ice mountain appears to shake and release an ominous aura while the nearest Pro Heroes, and Todoroki itself, could ear, "Hwahahaha!", Izuku pokes with the situation, since the Witcher Sign Quen could create a simple magic barrier to shield him from the ice, even it was a few centimetres gap, "It's everything you had ?!", spoke Izuku loudly inside the ice.
Before even the classmates from the Hero Courses in particular could reply in shock, the ice mountain began to shake, and resonate, while Izuku screams loudly, "If I wasn't a mage, this freezing tactic could seal me, and you would won this game... However..."
Endeavor taps his fingers while mumble, "Why my son always use this weak side... Fire is much better that ice!"
Todoroki don't react, when witness the ice resonates and break apart, "That's not possible!...".
"Deep Doomsday!...", scream Izuku manically when starts the spell incantation, just at the moment the entire ice breaks apart and explodes from the bottom to the top, at regular steps, like the floors of a building.
"That's magic was!...", Todoroki mind freeze when tries to remember the last time Izuku casts that peculiar Ancient Air Magic explosive spell.
"Spirits from the Air and Earth, I summon you to honour your Ancient Pact!... May the Earth and Sky explode to fulfil your duty on me!...", and the entire ice mountain explodes into shreds, leaving many Pro Heroes into a frenzy to block the ice icicles and shreds to fall against the spectators, or to minimize injuries elsewhere, "MEGADEATH!"
Izuku was now released from the ice, just to witness another ice stream against him, delivered by a bewildered Todoroki. But the young vampire will not fall on another ice trap a second time.
"Deadly abomination from Rotten Hell...", Even surrounded by two giant shreds of ice created instantaneously, Izuku manage to break and shatters the entire pillar of ice in tiny bits by casting a more powerful magic spell, "Fallen deviations of wicked souls...", while ignore the blanked faces of shock of every spectator, "Lord of Deathly Miracles, lean to me your wills, and strike down the enemy!", and the entire ice formed on the field explodes and shatters into a dark mist, crafter by dark magic energy matter, "DARK ANGEL!"
Facing an enraged vampire, Todoroki releases the fire quirk component almost in panic, throwing a pillar of fire straight against the adversary, "Phoenix Burning!", while shouts his somehow improvised pyrokinesis technique.
The vampire dodges the fire attack, and delivers a fire magic spell, as a compliment, "Legions of Ruby Ray...", as Izuku cast a ball of dark reddish fire, "Flesh rotten… Consumed by Death!", that forms an acidic firestorm, "May this deathly Curse burns the Enemy, and return them to Water!", that burns and melts the concrete, converting the entire ring into a blazing Inferno, "ACID DRINKER!"
Endeavor smiles a little when the battle course forces his son to use the fire quirk, but quickly becomes mild panicked when the vampire counters with a fire spell.
"I never thought that I was forced to use my cursed father size!", Todoroki enrages and curses to himself, as he notices that the concrete duel field ring was transformed by a sea of flames.
Meanwhile Cementoss dares to intervene, "Ouch! This match is not turning to be too dangerous lethal ?!", and create a new wall of concrete that slows the acidic fire, but not avoid to melt and turn in to lava. Todoroki jumps quickly along the cooler places of the ring unaffected by the spell, without avoiding some genuine panic, "Midoriya, are you insane ?!", while tries to freeze the ground, hoping that the fire slows down.
Mina was just retuning to his colleges while notices the last Izuku's magic spell, "OMG! WTF! It's like my own quirk, but much, much, more dangerous!", while Tsuyu corrects her, "In reality is like a mixture of Bakugou and Mina quirks, since it is a kind of fire mixed with acid, a would be terrible quirk by himself..."
Aizawa was the one most shocked, "You are going too far...", but hopes that he would slow down.
Once the acidic fire stalls, Todoroki still manages to fire a giant inclined stalagmite of ice, trying to reach Izuku by surprise, just when the flying vampire simply explode them at all, "Oh... My Ancient Demon Servants, Guardians of Burning Marshes!", creating a giant aerial burst explosion, that also making Katsuki dumbfounded, "Lend your Powers, and Reduce my Enemy to Nothingness!", ending with a massive firestorm, and a sequence of random explosions that increases the havoc and destruction, "NAPALM DEATH!", where even the ice shields created with Todoroki's quirk ended destroyed as well.
Present Mic was also hyperventilating, "What… what… what is now ?!", while Aizawa enrages, "Even you control the magic energy of some magic spells, Midoriya, this is not morally acceptable to use lethal techniques!"
Ignoring the increasing yelling of his own teacher, Izuku cast another ice spell, even less dangerous theoretical, "My Great Guardian of Arctic Thunder...", that send a wave of piercing ice icicles against the target, "I demand to the Ice Viper Strike!", that almost immobilizes his adversary, "CELTIC FROST!", while also freezes the ground like the Todoroki's quirk once does the same.
Suddenly, the ice quirk user blasts a flamethrower and an ice blizzard from each size, as he notices that Izuku magic was more weaker, since Todoroki expects that any magic energy supply is not infinite.
Izuku then casts the Level 3 Quen Intensity Sign, to shield and reduce damage from the desperate Todoroki, while also makes a devastating powerful punch against the Izuku's body.
"Take this !", scream Todoroki, almost desperate to throw Izuku away the Ring, that could give to him a tactical victory.
Izuku back flips, and land inside the ring, only less than half a meter off the line. Todoroki then launch another wave of ice shards against the vampire, but Izuku manage to counter with a stream of magic lightning missiles,"Taitoro!... Ancient spirits of Lightning to Thunder!... Blow this enemy away!...", hurting badly Todoroki, "ANSELM!"
Kaminari was doubled dumbfounded again, specially when notices another premiered lightning magic spell, "I think is my lost brother...", just to some college reply, "Midoriya is a vampire, that's not possible!"
The lightning spell gives Izuku a crucial second to him dispel any current magic spells that was draining is own magic energy, in order to stun Todoroki swiftly as possible, "Ji... Ef… Kiss…", as he meditates to increase the magic energy output to a finishing move, "Beware the False Prophets of Doomsday!", forming a lightning vortex, while their size and strength increases, "Upon the Sacred Altar, I pledge to Honor the Ancient Pact!", making Todoroki frightened, but with much greater determination to launch an all-powered assault of ice and fire, "Protect and Curse the Spirit's blood that shall not falter!", while Izuku new spell creates a plasma discharge from the magic lightning, hitting that stuff against Todoroki, reflecting inclusively the ice and fire quirk explosion from him against himself, "I command the Altar's Spirits and call down the Lightning to Obey me and Strike!", ending with a powerful explosion, "TESLA!"
The last Izuku's magic spell projects Todoroki against the Coliseum walls, outside the ring, making a strong impact, much due to the Tesla recoil.
Izuku quickly cast the Gravis spell to hold Todoroki, removing from the wall, and place safely for the medical assistance.
"And the winner is...", and Midnight still rubs her eyes, just to not mistake other students that, each one, had quirks similar for each magic spell that Izuku cast, "Midoriya Izuku!"
Seconds later, Izuku uses is own Healer Magic to treat the wounds of the former adversary, as himself had a grudge, and a guilt rush due to be so cruel during the duel.
And the Winner is (Nosferatu Alucard) Ezio Auditori di Firenze !
Endeavor not only couldn't believe that his son could be defeated so easily, but it gives a discount due to the freak. He also notices that if Izuku fight unrestrained, like the unexpected battle against the two intruders, even Endeavor would be killed almost instantaneously, once that dragon was cast. But also, he was shocked to witness that the vampire had a kind of healing magic abilities!, "Honestly, what kind of quirk similarities his freaking mage cannot replicate ?!"
Fortunately, the Todoroki injuries was light, but the entire 1-A class was somewhat angry, or even worried about the ruthlessness of the vampire, "Aizawa-sensei at the first day on Yuuei said that he dislike mages, and after all, he may be right...", said Tsuyu, "Kero... Midoriya's powers are too diverse to be fitted on the normal hero society...".
The television also interviews the former classmates of the Orudera Junior High School, where the unanimous opinion about Izuku was shock, and awe, since they ever don't know that the green-haired boy was a vampire, or had such destructive powers:
"This is a quirkless magic sorcerer ?! For me, he had at last twenty quirks! That's totally insane!...", said one of them and sighs, but without hide his sense of terror and panic, specially when he review the duels against some normal quirk users, even they are sons of Pro Heroes, they couldn't make a fair match.
" This is a Hero-in-Training ?!... That once shy green hair vampire ?!... During the classes, I thought it had a weak telekinesis quirk, but not that monstrosity !", said another, before hyperventilates, "If he ever manage to be an Hero, it will simply kill all the Villains, or destroy everything on their path!"
The Ending Ceremony was very lightened, and make comical by purpose, as demanded by the Magic Arts teacher Sakura.
Izuku appears on the ceremony dressed as the vampire Alucard, from the Hellsing franchise, "Please relax, and I send you to the Heaven!", as Izuku remembers and mimics with the toy Jackull 13 mm pistol-gun, while sighs, tiredly, and remembers the scene when Alucard destroy scores of vampires using that weapon. Todoroki, who gains the silver coin, was annoyed by such silly cosplay, "We are not on Halloween!".
"Victoria agli Assassini!", said Izuku, more happily, "I hope that the new Assassin's Creed games won't like a bad copy of Witcher 3, or become like Battlefield or Call of Duty in disguise with loot boxes!...".
Everyone was dumbfounded about the out-of-order references, "WTF was that, Nosferatu Midoriya Alucard ?!"
"Why I always remember Ezio Auditori di Firenze, the main character of the Assassin's Creed II, for each happy situation ?!".
Aizawa facepalms very hard, even staying alongside Present Mic, "For the God's Sake, Midoriya... Your idol is a computer game character, an stealth Assassin, not a Pro Hero ?!", while on podium, the staff decide to resume the protocols just to avoid additional embarrassments.
Once the ceremony resumes, some young people also gathers along the podium, just to see the winners, or to catch an autograph.
An apparent young boy, almost the age of a late teen approaches Izuku, asking for an autograph.
"Fine… There is it...", and once signed, Izuku feels the boy's fangs piercing his neck, "A vampire ?!", where also makes a sudden request, "Please, save my sequestered brother!", making everyone taken by surprise.
Izuku winced, since it was their first time, apart when he born, and his mother either drinks his son's blood, or Izuku drinks his mother's blood, what was bitten by a vampire.
"Why you don't call the police ?!", said Izuku, "We are not qualified or mandated to do law enforcement!", unless the Yuuei request him specially.
"Because...", the younger civilian vampire brims his eyes, "When I saw you so strong, and better than those quirk fashioned heroes… I thought… that you could handle this!", making Izuku shiver, "Oh boy… I spot an open wound...", while babbles some random sentence.
Midnight quickly reacts, and bring the civilian to her custody, and other Pro Heroes also start to move, while the Autographs Session could resume, and end as soon as possible.
Then Aizawa and All Might makes a full three-hours scolding, where also his mother, both proud, and both disappointed, joins the discussion.
The overuse of Dark Schneider's Dark Chaos of Destruction Magic during the Sports Festival would give a negative factor during the first semester evaluation, making a grade reduction penalty. However this can be reviewed if Izuku change is attitude, and also warns that Izuku's display of powers could induce a state of fear on the current society.
Once the long talk ends, the entire 1-A class gathers to their classroom, just to end the long day, but also a sudden request, "During the Ending Ceremony, a vampire make a request to save their brother, that was also a vampire, from a band of young delinquents, that was also around the shopping area of this city...".
The strange request makes Kiminari to ask, "My class was planning to bring Izuku together to the same place, just to teach him about socialization...", making Aizawa agree, "The police was already on the move, but it was aware that my class will make the final strike on those bullies!", and makes a challenging smile to the entire class.
With a Plus Ultra motto, the class was dismissed, and everyone takes the train to the destination.
The aftermath of the Sports Festival will be very interesting, since it would be the first heroic mission, after all.
To be Continued...
