Arc 3 Chapter 5: The tournament continues

Later on Ochako went to the back and was greeted by Izuku.

"That was amazing Ocha! You actually beat someone you had a clear disadvantage against!" Izuku told her as he gave her a tight embrace.

"Hehe thanks Deku," Ochako said returning the hug, "But if anything I have you to thank for this."

"Me?" Izuku asked.

"You inspired me to keep trying," Ochako said, "You fsaced a lot of challenges, yet you refused to give in. You kept pushing forward. One day I'm gonna do the same too."

Izuku smiled at her kind words. Ochako's phone rang.

"Oh, my dad's calling, mind if I take this?" she asked.

Izuku nodded and walked outside. Ochako answered her phone.

"Sorry I missed your call Dad," Ochako said.

"Its ok, I know how busy you are," Maruki said, "Just wanted to say we saw your match. You did great."

"Oh! Thanks Dad! I must've had an adrenaline going on there." Ochako said, sheepishly, "I only won out of luck. But I'm a little closer to helping you guys out than before."

"What are you in a rush for?" Maruki asked

"You know I want to help you two financially so you guys don't have to struggle so much." Ochako said.

"Ochako dear there's no need to rush," Maruki said, "The fact that you feel this way tells me you'll be a great caring hero. I'm so proud."

"Thanks Dad. That means a lot." Ochako said.

The second round of matches was about to begin. Izuku went out to the stage to face his opponent. The hot and cold future hero, Shoto Todoroki.

"Ready Shoto?"

"I was born ready," Shoto Said, fire burning on his left side.

Izuku activates Full cowling at 25%, ready to give it his all. He put his two fingers together and aimed at Shoto.

"Delaware..... SMASH!!!!"

He flicked his fingers emitting a strong gust of wind aimed at Shoto pushing him back a bit. He used the ice to keep himself from falling over. He then began to skate over to him on ice.

"Not bad but not good enough!"

He came at izuku with fire in his hand. He shot a fireball. Izuku jumped over it and landed behind Shoto. He grabbed him and threw him over. Shoto landed on his hands and flipped over.

Izuku was charging at Shoto as he once again charged up 30% of OFA straight towards him.

"Detroit..... SMASH!!!"

The punch was blocked by a wall of ice. Small particles went flying everywhere. It was almost like a lightshow. Izuku was happy knowing his friend was using both fire and ice, giving it his all.

"Looks like my words reached you," he said.

"In more ways than one," Shoto said to him.

Ochako and Momo were watching from the stands.

"Who do you think will win?" Mina asked the two girls

"Izuku/Shoto" The two girls said at once then looked at each other.

"Kinda funny Momo, but I could've sworn you said Todoroki could beat Deku."

"And I could've sworn that you said Midoriya could beat Shoto while he has two quirks while Midoriya only has one." Momo said.
