Tiger didn't want Izuku to have time to think so before he could do anything he used the fist that he grabbed to pull Izuku in. When Izuku was lurched forward Tiger through a strong hook hoping to hit Izuku's head. Izuku was however no amateur when it came to fighting. As he was pulled forward Izuku quickly planted his front foot to catch himself and gain a strong fighting stance. Izuku then preformed an outward forearm block stopping the attack. Izuku didn't stop there though. He then wrenched his hand free from Tigers grip and did a double palm strike to both of Tigers ears.
This stunned the pro hero giving Izuku the chance to go on the offensive. Which he did without any hesitation. Izuku immediately put Tiger into a clinch. He then proceeded to plant knee after knee into Tigers gut. This worked for a little bit but not for long.
In response to the knee strikes Tiger waited for Izuku to throw another. When he did Tiger timed the attack just right so that he was able to elbow strike Izuku's knee as it was coming up. Just like when Izuku double palm struck Tiger and left him stunned, now Izuku was stunned and just like Izuku Tiger took advantage of this. Tiger picked up Izuku and threw him in the hopes that he would land hard and continue to be stunned. What Tiger didn't know was that Izuku was proficient in acrobatics. While in mid air Izuku preformed a cartwheel getting his legs under him. This helped him land and come to a sliding stop on the ground.

Izuku mind: no doubt about it this guy is a pro. That doesn't mean I'm giving up though.

Once again Izuku engaged in hand to hand combat with Tiger. As the two went at it though they were watched by the rest of the pros. While Aizawa showed no signs of any emotion to what was going on, the others were different. Vlad was talking about how good Izuku was doing but that ultimately he wasn't as good as his class. Ragdoll spent the whole time cheering on both Tiger and Izuku. She really didn't want to pick one over the other. The last to were Pixie-Bob and Mandalay. They both watched with intrigue. What Pixie-Bob was intrigued in however was different from what Mandalay was intrigued in.

Mandalay: how come Midoriya can just run around Tiger without him doing anything?

Pixie-Bob: now that you mention it that is weird.

Aizawa: it's a technique of Midoriya's.

Mandalay: a technique?

Pixie-Bob: what kind of technique makes your opponent not attack you?

Vlad: a good one.

That comment earned Vlad a glare from Pixie-Bob. Before Pixie-Bob could retort however Aizawa continued to explain to the pros what exactly Izuku was doing.

Aizawa: the technique that Izuku is using allows him to be rendered invisible to his opponents.

Vlad: so that's why Tiger doesn't attack him sometimes.

Mandalay: and is the reason we can see him because the technique isn't directed at us?

Aizawa: yes.

Mandalay: I see.

Pixie-Bob: where did he learn something like that?

Aizawa: he never said.

Back in the fight Izuku was once again on the defensive dodging attacks. Tiger was making sure to keep Izuku at a distance by attacking with his quirk. Tiger would be constantly using his limbs in a whip like fashion. This made it hard for Izuku to defend himself. In order to not take damage Izuku was forced to mostly dodge the attacks.
Izuku wasn't beaten though. Tiger preformed a whipping kick with his leg to attack Izuku. When he did Izuku rolled under the attack. Quickly getting back to his feet Izuku rushed at Tiger. Since Tiger was still in the middle of his attack when Izuku charged he was caught off guard. This was enough for Izuku to get in and tackle Tiger to the ground. Quickly taking the Mount position Izuku was about to drop an elbow on Tigers face before he was stopped by Aizawa.

Aizawa: that's enough!

Izuku looked over his shoulder at Aizawa who was walking over to them with the rest of the pros.

Aizawa: I think you proved yourself enough, plus we don't need any unnecessary damage being done. Especially since Recovery girl isn't here.

Hearing that he was done Izuku got up off of Tiger. Izuku then offered Tiger a hand up. The pro saw this and gladly took it.

Tiger: that was an impressive match young man.

Izuku: thank you.

Tiger: you really had me going there for a minute.

Izuku: you were hold back though weren't you?

Tiger: not as much as you might think. You really made me work. Give it a year or two and you will most likely surpass me.

Aizawa: why don't you go clean up Midoriya while we talk.

Izuku: yes sir.

With that Izuku left the teachers to talk to each other as he went to clean up. Getting his stuff Izuku made his way to the baths. Izuku not being one to wast time was in and out pretty quickly. After refreshing himself he began to make his way back to were he and the other boys in 1A would be staying. As he was a familiar voice called out to him.

???: Izuku, there you are.

Izuku turned to see Pixie-Bob walking up to him.

Izuku: oh hey.

Pixie-Bob: I've been looking all over for you.

Izuku: you have?

Pixie-Bob: yeah, I assumed you would have been at the hot springs baths but when I checked you weren't there.

Izuku: why were you looking for me?

Pixie-Bob: oh no particularly reason.

As she said this Pixie-Bob moved closer to Izuku.

Pixie-Bob: tell me Izuku, other then fighting what else are you good at?

Izuku: you'll just have to wait and find out. Now if you'll excuse me.

With that Izuku continued his walk back to the sleeping quarters living Pixie-Bob standing there watching him as he left.

Pixie-Bob: playing hard to get then is it, fine we'll see how long that lasts.
