Cheering for Todoroki

Most of the students began to walk towards the cafeteria, exiting the stadium as the teams that competed in the second round took a minute for a little breather.

Kyouka sighed in relief as she looked at the scoreboard to see her team had the same points they had originally started with. 'Todoroki taking the other headband was some major luck. If he had taken the other one, we wouldn't have had enough points to move on. We would've been done for. This is way too stressful.'

"That was a close one..." Izuku said as he wiped some sweat off his forehead. "I think my heart stopped for a moment."

Ochako nodded as she stretched. "Same here, but in the end we made it through alright."

"Yeah, you're right. But we really need to thank Hatsu-" The green haired boy began to say before cutting himself off, not seeing Mei anywhere. "Guess she left in a hurry, huh?"

"Good riddance." The purple haired girl quietly mumbled to herself before looking down at her legs. "I've barely moved my legs at all since the start of the festival. I need to stretch them before the final round."

"Oh yeah, that's right. You rode on Dekiru's back during the obstacle race and were our rider for the cavalry battle." The brown haired girl said to herself as she cupped her chin before giggling. "Maybe you can be known as U.A's great rider!"

Kyouka gave a fake laugh as she gave a deadpanned look. "Yeah, U.A's great rider... Very funny."

'Did she just accidentally insult me?' The purple haired girl thought to herself as she tried to resist glaring at Ochako.

"Well, let's go eat lunch now. I'm starving." Ochako said as she pat her stomach before starting to walk towards the cafeteria.

"Yeah, I could use a bite to eat." Izuku said with a nod before he and Kyouka began to walk behind Ochako.

Kyouka then felt someone touch her shoulder before turning around to see Momo. "Oh hey, Yaoyorozu. That was a crazy game, huh?"

Momo nodded as she smiled. "Yes it was. We underestimated you, Jirou. We didn't think you'd switch out the ten million point headband with the one on your neck. It was a clever move on your end."

"Well, I was a little inspired by seeing Todoroki hide the point value of his headbands." The purple haired girl said as she twirled around her earphone jack.

Momo began to respond but was tuned by Kyouka as she noticed Todoroki whispering something to Izuku, looking very serious before walking away. 'Damn, I couldn't hear what he was saying with all this noise around me. What the hell does Todoroki want from Izuku?'

"Jirou? Are you listening?" The black haired girl asked as she tapped Kyouka's shoulder, getting her attention back.

"Huh? Um, yeah..." The purple haired girl said in a distant tone as she glanced at Izuku to see that he began to follow Todoroki with a troubled look on his face. "I... uh, gotta use the bathroom. I'll see you in the cafeteria when I'm done."

"Huh? Okay, but what's got you-" Momo then cut herself off as Kyouka already started to run off before sighing. "Distracted...?"

Kyouka used other students as her cover as she followed Izuku and Todoroki from a distance before seeing them both enter a hallway that led to the waiting rooms.

'Looks like Todoroki wants some privacy with Izuku. I know he has it out for him, but is it really necessary to talk in private?' The purple haired girl thought to herself as she entered the hallway and hid behind a wall before plugging her earphone jack into it.
