"Annnd.... Begin!"

Todoroki begins the match by sending a wave of ice towards you, hoping to either freeze you like he did Sero Hanta or to force you out of the ring completely. However, you quickly flew directly into the air and completely avoided his first attack, you respond by telepathically throwing 5 golden spears towards him, he runs away from the first two, but realizing he is too slow to outrun them he blocks the other three with his ice.

You send out 6 more, to which he barely creates another slab of ice to block. Todoroki then pushes that ice shield towards you, you swiftly create a rapier and cut through the ice effortlessly. Steam emits from the ice as well as your sword due to the heat from your weapon, it was like you sliced through thick butter.

Todoroki began to notice how easy all his attacks were to you, they were both predictable and overall not strong enough to even stand against you, let alone defeat you.

You use the same attack, and he shields himself the same way.

Todoroki is beginning to realize that I'm toying with him, I'm barely using any of my power, but neither is he. I'm simply treating him the way he's treating me, I'll show more effort when he does.

Todoroki increasingly gets frustrated, so he creates an enormous iceberg similar to when he was against Sero, to which the crowd goes wild over. He aims it towards you as well as your side of the audience, hopefully giving you no room to fly upward and have you trapped in a corner.

"This should stop you." Todoroki grunts to himself, as his body begins to frost.

I've beaten this attack more than 20 times, this time won't be any different.

You briskly forge a shuriken, which is able to spin around you and towards enemies telepathically. And simply to spite Todoroki, you retract your wings and countered on the ground solely to showcase how unchallenging his efforts were. You squint your eyes towards where you wanted to slice through, and pointed your arm to direct the large shuriken.

To Todoroki, there was momentary silence from both you and the audience, hoping that you were unconscious or out of bounds. But his wishes quickly dwindled as your shuriken cleanly cut the entire iceberg in half, as he was barely able to see your standing figure.

"You did that on the ground?!" Todoroki shouts with anger.

"Easily!" You yell back, as you fly back up and destroy your shuriken to then produce your golden gauntlet. You punch the upper half of the iceberg with such force that it shatters in pieces, all of which begin to rain down towards the arena. Todoroki hastily dodges the large ice pieces until none are left in the sky, while he sees you gracefully fly back towards the ground.

Todoroki, sweaty with his chest heavily rising and falling and a few scratches, balls his hands into fists at the sight of how unbothered you looked. Your pristine skin and untethered clothes along with that stoic expression you had the entire match thus far, made it sting all the more.

"At least try! I am worth all of your efforts!" Todoroki yells at you, using his ice as a way to slide closer to you. He then drops his hand to the floor, and then harshly swipes it upwards to try and immobilize you at a closer range.

You knew this attack was coming, and immediately did a backflip to get out of his range and spread your wings to fly directly into the air once again. You then fly around his failed attack and navigate behind him, before Todoroki had a chance to realize your new location you harshly kicked him by the side of his head, to which he flew across the field.

"I will try once you will! Apparently I'm not worth all your strength, so neither are you!" You shout back at him, flying slightly above the ground.
