Chapter 28 - The Final Act

"And there you have it, folks! Bakugo wins this match and will go to the Finals!" Everyone cheered for the round, but more on his opponent.

It was a clear state that the opponent of Katsuki Bakugo can't withstand his Quirk, Explosion.

Staring at the monitor and the match result, Izuku closes his eyes in peace. He was all alone in the room. Excluding the monitor with sounds, he distanced himself from reality for only a moment.

He recalls the final result of the match... between himself and Shoto Todoroki.

==Flashback==

The outcome was unbelievable. Izuku was there, lying on the ground, just inches away from touching the boundary line.

Wearing a painful expression on his face, his clothes are tattered up, exposing his scars, full six abs, and some blood pouring out on some of his upper body parts. But his right arm is heavily damaged. Purple and blood leaking out.

Due to his condition, Midnight, who finally got out of her cover, would've proclaimed that Shoto is the winner, but there's a problem.

Shoto was nowhere to be found.

There's still some smoke lingering around the arena, but it's clear to everyone that Shoto isn't in the arena.

That could only mean one thing.

Once the dust clouds dissipate, they found the bi-colored-haired boy lying against the wall facing down.

With some slight cracks crack on the wall behind him he fell on his knees for a fraction of a second before falling face-first to the ground.

On queue, Izuku twitched before slowly moving his body while gritting his teeth. Bearing the pain all over his body, mostly on his right arm, he wills his way to stand up. Using his left arm to support him, he adjusted himself before he's back on his feet.

"Todoroki-kun is out of bounds! The winner who'll advance to the finals is Midoriya-kun!"

Crowds cheered for a magnificent, intense match. Izuku was tired of everything as of now before he fell on his butt, heavily panting from the climax of the battle.

He tried to help Shoto who was stubborn to not use his left side, dodging every attack that can immobilize him, except that moment where Shoto froze him and everyone thought he's the winner despite the efforts Izuku did.

But in the end, it's all worth the trouble. The shackles that bounded Shoto from his past are finally broken. He can finally be himself, well only a little due to his father still there.

He can imagine the disappointed expression from the defeat of his son. Guess that supposed 'encouragement' of his is not enough. Literally.

"Job's... not... done." Whispering between his heavy breathings, Izuku turned his attention to his partner.

"(You okay, Shadow?)"

"(Despite me getting tired, I'm okay. I can heal you, but at a slow rate.)" Shadow answered.

"(Approximately?)"

"(Twenty minutes.)"

"(Guess I need Recovery Girl-sensei to recover most.)" Izuku suggested.

Then the paramedic team arrived for both students with stretchers.

Shoto was unconscious while Izuku stood up with his feet wobbling. The members helped on settle on his own stretcher before they all went to Recovery Girl's Temporary Nurse's Office.
