Half cold, half hot. With his right, he can create ice and, with his left, fire. If using too much of his right side, he will get too cold and succumb to Hypothermia." Izuku flips through the book. "Daddy issues, but who doesn't have those, right?" Izuku chuckles. "Your 18 years old princess stop acting like daddy and be your own man." A smaller wave of ice was sent at Izuku, but he just jumps over it. "Everyone is giving it their all to win. To achieve their goals to make it to the top. The general education kid got third place overall. Ochako beat Katsuki. And here you are, I watched your matches. One match after another, you never moved an inch. Never take people seriously." Izuku kept jumping around a Todoroki tries to pin him down. /p

Izuku motions to the crowd that was still cheering and watching the two. "If I knocked them out in seconds, then the festival would be a waste of time. Plus, I get to watch how their quirks work. How they use them." Izuku rolls his shoulder some. "If you want my full power, then turn on the fire and stop messing around. You're not your father, so stop acting like him." Izuku manifests his dagger, pointing it at the dumpster fire, glaring down at the boys with a familiar frown that was currently on Shoto's face. /p

Izuku leans forward, kicking Shoto in the back, sending him into his own Ice wall that blocks him from going out of the ring. "IT'S YOUR QUIRK NOT HIS!" /p

Then came the army he really didn't want to see again, but there was a problem. "It's grown… when did he get more soldiers…" His friend and colleague looked over slightly worried for his friend. /p

Walking into dungeons, not knowing what is on the other side or if he would walk out. "So my army vs. you… this didn't go well for the villains."

Igris's cold eyes staring down the Number two hero was quite funny as the crowd wasn't paying attention to them anymore but on the two student's fighting. Todoroki tries to attack Izuku, but Iron was already their protecting him, so he turns his attention to the army. Izuku would call back a shadow each time they regenerate as soon as Shoto cut them down. Soon enough, Izuku only had Iron, Igris, and his magicians. /p

Keep up the great work! I cannot wait to see the hero you make in the future." All Might places the medal over her head as she smiles and nods. She looks over to Shoto and Izuku. One looks like he was thinking over life, and one looks uninterested that the number one hero was just feet away. /p

All Might places the second-place medal over Shoto's head. "You held back. You didn't use your left side until the final match. Was there a reason for that?" /p

Todoroki looks down. "There's still something I have to settle before I can even try to become a hero like you." Shoto seems to relax while talking to the number one hero. /p

All Might hugs Todoroki, which Izuku watches the rage on the older Todoroki in the stands. "So say no more. Whatever you must settle, I'm sure you can do it!" All Might stands in front of Midoriya, who was writing in his Notebook before looking down at the number one hero. Izuku smirks. /p

Well," All Might grabs the medal and walks up. All Might has been in front of the most powerful villain and only felt hatred. The look on Midoriya's face was giving him chills that would make the villain he once face shiver himself. /p

Izuku places the Notebook away, smiling brightly. The other three, close to Midoriya, listens in. All Might coughs softly into his hand before standing in front of the man. /p

Helping your competitors realize their weakness even during the match. Helping young Todoroki realize what he needed. You changed lives today." All Might talks on. The plastered on smile on Midoriya slowly fell. "You will be a great hero Midoriya." All Might places the medal around Izuku's neck. "I'm sorry I doubted that when we first met." All Might steps back and turns to the crowd. /p

These are your winners!" All Might turns to the students of U.A. Some looking upset, they didn't make it far. Others looking relaxed now that the festival was over. "Everyone here today has the potential to be standing up here! As you all witnessed! Competition! Encouragement! Pushing each other to climb higher and higher! The sprouts of today will grow into the heroes of tomorrow!" All Might calls for the final cheer, not noticing some of the winners were looking at Midoriya. They overheard what All Might said, and now, curious what the number one hero once said to the overpowered young adult. Izuku himself already tunes everything out and just smiles. At least he thought he was./p
