The second match ended with Mirko's winning, although, in the end, both contestants fell unconscious.

Putting the two aside, the competition resumed after confirming that both contestants were receiving treatment.

The next match was a match between Hero No. 3 and Japan's number 1 Guild Master Guild. Hawks, a man known for his speed, will fight Ichirou, known for his defense.

The two men will compete in city areas. As he was about to go to the arena, Ichirou approached Hawks and asked him to shake hands. As usual, Ichirou put on his usual friendly smile.

" Hawks right? let's fight fair "

Seeing this, Hawks could only accept it with a slightly awkward smile. How could he not, when the opponent he faced was not what he expected.

Unlike the other Hunters he had seen in the competition so far, Ichirou seemed the most normal, despite being the guild master of the number one guild.

" Yes, of course "

The battle between the two was a battle between speed and defense. Relying on his speed and wing feathers, Hawks continued to launch attacks at every point on Ichirou's defenses, but as expected of the Guild Master, none of his attacks were able to break through Ichirou's defenses.

Their fight was stagnant for a few moments until Ichioru started to take out his sword and counterattacked.

Light covered Ichirou's sword, and with one swing of the blade, the path it hit shattered instantly. Both the opponent and the audience were shocked by his attack's impact. And shortly after, the fight ended in Ichirou's victory since Hawks said he gave up.

People didn't expect the result of this battle, but as for Hawks, he just said he didn't want to bother taking damage from Ichirou's attack.

After the match, there's a short break before continuing the match. Participants and spectators are free to do whatever they want while still in the stadium area.

During that time, Izuku gets an unexpected visit from an acquaintance. While waiting, Izuku was pensively thinking about how the fight would turn out when he heard someone call his name.

" Izuku-san, you have a guest "

" guest? who? "

" an old man that wearing a hero costume, he said to meet him outside "

Hearing the identity of this visitor, Izuku guessed as to who had visited him, and sure enough. As he came out, the person he expected was standing at the front waiting for him.

Grand Torino goes to visit Izuku during halftime. Ever since he saw Izuku's appearance during the opening he had been worried for the boy. Plus when he heard he had to compete against All Might, it made him even more anxious.

" Grand Torino-san you here? "

"Oh, kid, your expression doesn't look good. "

" Is it obvious? "

" How could you not when your expression looks so dark "

" I guess so, hahaha... "

"don't laugh kid"

" Sorry "

Seeing Izuku's half-hearted reaction made Grand Torino sigh.

" So are you really going to face that person? "

Hearing this, Izuku's expression once again darkened. For a moment he was at a loss as to how to answer since he wasn't sure either. Grand Torino also noticed this and he immediately hit Izuku with his staff.

Even though the hit didn't hurt him, Izuku was still taken aback by it.

" no need to think about it too hard, just beat him as necessary, as long as it doesn't kill him "

" ...Ah, yes, of course... "

Izuku who was still surprised could only answer by reflex. He was confused for a moment, but thanks to a hit from Grand Torino made his worries a little less.

Grand Torino then left the Hunter waiting room and was about to walk back to his seat. But on the way he met All Might who had just met his family.

Seeing his teacher from a distance, All Might immediately greet him, even though he was a little surprised at first.

" G-Grand Torino-san? you here? "

There was a hint of displeasure in Grand Torino's eyes as he saw All Might. He subconsciously clicked his tongue as he looked at him.

" So what? Can't I be here? "

" N-no, that's not what I meant, but did you come here to meet me "

" No, I'm here to meet someone else. "

" someone else? who?"

" none of your business "

Seeing Grand Torino's attitude that seems cold to him lately has made All Might curious.

" um, Grand Torino-san I was wondering, did I perhaps do something wrong to upset you? "

Instead of answering, Grand Torino just kicked All Might in his face, leaving a nice footprint on his face. All Might was quite surprised by Grand Torino's sudden attack. He looked at Grand Torino who still had an annoyed expression on his face.

" Why should I tell you what your mistake was? "

" oh no, that "

" think for yourself "

After saying that, Grand Torino turned and left, but before that, he glanced at All Might.

" Oh, right, good luck in the match, just pray that you don't die there "

The words Grand Torino left him confused. Even though he wasn't worried about the upcoming match at first, after hearing those words he became slightly worried.

After accompanying Grand Torino to go, Izuku happen to meet Fuyumi who was also going to visit her brother. Seeing Izuku at the front of the room, Fuyumi immediately greeted him.

" Oh, Izuku-kun "

" Fuyumi-san? Did you come here to visit Toya-san? "

" That's right, is my brother inside? "

" Yeah, he should be in there, but you'd better be careful, he's been making a terrible face since earlier. "

" Is that so... "

" yes, his face is hideous enough to give me goosebumps "

Fuyumi could only smile at Izuku's joke. She knew how close they are to making such a joke to another. But sometimes Izuku's jokes are often true if it was about his friend's bad side.

" I see, it looks like I have to get in before brother kills someone "

" Sure, good luck "

After parting ways with Izuku, Fuyumi went inside and saw her brother sitting pensively. As Izuku said he has a pretty bad face there.

" Toya-ni... "

Hearing a familiar voice, Toya immediately looked towards the door and was surprised to see his sister standing there.

" Fuyumi-chan? Why are you here? "

" That, after this, is Toya-ni's match isn't it, I'm just here to see how Toya-ni is. "

Hearing this, a small smile appeared on Toya's lips. The hellish image he had imagined briefly disappeared.

" Are you worried? "

" Yeah, a little "

" Don't worry, I'll do my best "

" no please don't do that "

" I am kidding "

Even though Toya said that his eyes said otherwise, even Fuyumi could feel killing intent radiating from behind that smile.

Fuyumi felt that Izuku and Toya's way of joking was very similar. Well considering the time they spent together it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Realizing this, Fuyumi had no other choice but to sigh with this cruel side of her brother.

' Brother, if you want to lie, at least hide the killing intent in your eyes '

Fuyumi didn't say it out loud and just kept it in her heart. They then continued talking until an officer entered the room and said that halftime was almost over.

" then brother, I'll go first, please don't go too hard during the match later "

" yes I'll try "

Shortly after the match resumed, the spectator benches were full again, and cheers were heard again.

The audience has been waiting for this match, how could it not be when the remaining match is hero no. 2 and no. 1?

" ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR THE NEXT MATCH?... "

The people cheered loudly again when they heard the host's words.

" It's time to summon the participants... from the hero's side, the hero number 2, the Flame Hero: ENDEAVOUR... "

The audience cheered again watching Endeavor enter the arena with fire burning all over his body. Coupled with the bad expression he was making added to the sense of intimidation around him.

" Next from Hunter's side, a magician who also uses fire-based abilities, the newest S-rank, Todoroki Toya... "

In contrast to the cheers previously heard, the crowd fell silent when they heard Todoroki's name being mentioned. Not long after, the figure of Toya wearing a black coat walked in. There was a strange smile on his face, which created a sinister atmosphere around him.

Endeavor stared at his opponent with narrowed eyes. Since he knew the identity of the opponent, he had no choice but to think about it continuously.

How could his son who he thought was dead still live without his knowledge, and how did he end up becoming a Hunter? There were many questions he wanted to ask him, but he wasn't sure whether Toya would answer them.

" Yo number 2, did you wait long? "

" What happened to you? "

" Well a few things happened since the fire at Sekoto Peak that day "

" What do you mean? "

" Save your questions for later. Endeavor, we fight to do. "

Endeavor and Toya will fight in the mountain arena where the first match took place. The place had been cleaned since the first game.

They stood facing each other, heat burning between them. When the countdown started Toya looked at Endeavor with a smile on his face.

" Hey Endeavor, let's dance in hell "

"START!... "

Blue flames revolved around Toya and he shot the flames directly at his opponent. The blue flames immediately engulfed Endevour's body but were soon extinguished by his flames.

Countering Toya's attack, Endeavor stepped forward and punched him using his fire fist technique. Toya nimbly dodged the attack and directly shot the flame spear he had prepared at Endeavor.

Endeavor dodged his attack but one of Toya's spears managed to hit him and made him take a few steps back. There was a slight burn where Toya's fiery spear hit him.

Endeavor had known this a long time ago, that his son's flame was hotter than his, but he didn't expect that his flame would be this hot.

In the eyes of the spectating onlookers, the fight between the two was the true picture of hell. The heat generated by their two attacks was even capable of melting the rocks in the arena.

The battle continued with each of them deploying their signature techniques. Toya continues to attack Endeavor using a pillar of fire which has turned the surrounding area into lava.

Endeavor also counters his attacks using ranged attacks. He formed a fire arrow in his hand which he then threw at Toya.

Seeing this, Toya smiled again as if he underestimated him. He lightly waved his hand creating a fire barrier that annihilated the attacks from Endeavor.

" You called that fire arrow? This is what you call a fire arrow "

As Toya's flame shield went out, around him were lined up many hot blue flame arrows and their destructive power was on par with the arrows just thrown by Endeavor.

Toya immediately showered Endeavor with dozens of his fire arrows which managed to knock him to the ground. Even though he fell, Endeavor tried hard to survive Toya's fire attacks by covering himself with fire.

The fire died out, and the figure of Endeavor fell to his knees in front of his son. His body was covered in bruises and burns, the flames that should have enveloped his body were also dying out, and it could be seen that his state was already overheated.

Seeing this, Toya slowly approached the figure he hated with a satisfied smile. He always imagined the day he would finish off his father whom he had hated. Seeing how the person he had always thought of as a failure appeared in front of him and brought him to his knees like now.

" Hey Endeavor, how does it feel to be brought to your knees by this failed product? "

" T-Toya you... "

"what's wrong? Are you surprised?"

Endeavor stared at Toya with disbelieving eyes. The child he had so far belittled reappeared in front of him with a power he couldn't even imagine. In addition, the feeling that continues to spin inside him makes his legs unable to move.

" You look quite a disappointment, I think you'll be better than this. Number 2, stand up, I'm not done crushing you yet. "

" Toya... why are you-"

" save your nonsense for later, I'm still not done dancing with you "

Simultaneously several fireballs formed behind him and immediately attacked Endeavor forcing him to move evaded.

Toya's attacks didn't stop there, he kept creating attacks aimed at Endeavor as if he wanted to kill him.

The audience was also quite shocked by the scene they were witnessing at this time. Most of the people couldn't believe that the hero they thought was the one with the strongest fire quirk could be pushed back by another flame user.

The screen displayed the figure of Toya smiling while continuing to launch deadly attacks on Endeavor. His smiling figure made him look like a villain destroying a hero, even though that's what it was(?).

Even Izuku who was watching him during their match could only shake his head as his best friend's voice came out.

' I knew that person would make that horrible face. I hope he's not killing him there '
