Horns For You!

Chapter ten: shocking victory

" Great job Midoriya! you beat Todoroki!". Ashido waved away Midoriya to an open seat next to her and Kirishima. The recent match was himself versus Todoroki Shoto. With quick thinking, He attacked the bi-haired boy with a flaming defense, no pun intended.

At the very end, Shoto had used his fire as a last stitched effort. Sadly, It wasn't enough. Midoriya was able to catch the flames, barely, before it hit him. Todoroki has been pushed out of the ring and Midoriya won.

When going to talk to Shoto, He got a negative reaction. Was he mad that he lost? No, he wouldn't. Would he? It was questioned that popped in his head as he thought. but for now, he needs to focus on winning this festival. It's the least he could do for Todoroki and himself.

" Th-thanks Ashido-san. Though, I'm a bit concerned..." He spoke, sitting and scratching his head. Kirishima poked from the side and asked, " What's on your mind?".

The face of hatred reappeared, why was that the reaction he got from him? Midoriya simply wanted to shake hands for a good fight. Then that glare drove him away. Didn't he say his father was the number two hero? So then, could it be that Todoroki was upset that he beat him and didn't impress his father? Midoriya could only wonder.

" Todoroki gave me a weird look before I could say It was a good fight. So, I was wondering if I pissed him off beating him. Yet, Todoroki doesn't seem to be that type. Would you guys have any idea?"

Kirishima looked around for the half cold half hot quirk. He spotted him and stared for a second. The half quirked stone-cold face showed, creating ice then melting it over and over. Stress relief is what was guessed. Kirishima looked back at Midoriya and replied, " well, he looks colder than usual but that's it. Ashido?"

Ashido got this toothy grin and responded," He's probably jealous of Mido.".

" jealous?" he asked back. She nodded then explained." Since you have two parts of your quirk, more than that technically, He only started using his fire right now. And you have a head start on growing yours so jealously may apply to him."

a " hmm" came from him. She did have a point, a foolish one at that. However, she wasn't entirely wrong. Todoroki only used his ice during the USJ, even being in the freezing zone. It was clear he did not want to use his fire. But why was that? His power is amazing and yet he decided not to use it. What might be the cause of that? it is his quirk, after all.

" Jealous might be an exaggeration on that one Ashido. But I can see what point is."

" Glad I could help."

" y-yeah sure."

The next matches went up. Kirishima fought against Bakugo. What a surprise, Bakugo won. But Katsuki gave Kirishima some " advice?", you could say. but since Kirishima understood him well, he took it in with gratitude.

Ashido fought Tokoyami. You might think she at a disadvantage due to range, but, you're gravely mistaken. Once the match started, Ashido sent out the new move she learned, bubble barrage. she could create as many as she wanted, her skin protection flaw still applies. The speed is slow but there were many. touching one would result in an AOE splash. and if it is connected with others, acid chain.

Dark shadow was back off and had little space to fight with. She let loose of the bubbles and creating that effect herself, which she did. When all bubbles got close and surrounded the two, She popped one. Then the rest popped one after another. Dark shadow fended it from Tokoyami. The popping was done, Darkshadow was injured. And due to Ashido's flexibility and maneuverability, she took him out with no problem. Well deserved victory for her.

And now, Midoriya was up against the one and only, robot himself, Iida tenya. It would be a hard fight, as for Iida has the speed.

As he stepped on the arena and looked at the blue-haired male. He fixed his glasses and knelt. " I wish you good luck Midoriya-san."
