11: Trying to Murder Todoroki Apparently

Your POV

I was so lost in thought that I got hit by Tokoyami's first attack.

Dark Shadow rammed into me, knocking me backwards and off my feet. As my head hit the ground, I kicked myself internally.

Come on. You can worry about dear ol' dad later. Right now, focus on Tokoyami.

His Quirk was powerful, and effective at both offense and defense. I knew I would have to find and expose a weakness of his.

It had a physical body like humans did, so my attacks would hit it — but it was also almost invincible.

I did my best to sweep him out of the stadium with wind, but Dark Shadow kept just flying him back. What's his weakness? He's very strong...but wait...if he's a shadow...

My theory was proven correct when I covered myself in fire, sending up ripples of heat. Dark Shadow flinched. He was weak to light.

Of course! It's so obvious now.

I hurled streams of fire one after another, while dodging his attempts to grab me. With a wave of my hand, a circle of huge flames flared up, surrounding him. I manipulated the fire with wind, causing it to form a swirling mass of heat. Dark Shadow was no longer trying to come at me.

I condensed the fire, pressing it tighter and tighter against him.

I stepped through the fire, facing Tokoyami. Dark Shadow looked extremely worn out and small, and Tokoyami was starting to sweat from the heat.

"Do you surrender?" I asked calmly.

He tsked and looked away.

I upped the temperature by 100 degrees, using more energy. The fire got brighter.

He fell to his knees, starting to look dizzy and weak.

"Do you. Surrender." I repeated.

Hurry up. I need to go check on Mom.

"Fine. I surrender."

I called off the flames immediately, and doused the remaining sparks with water.

"Tokoyami surrenders! Y/N is the winner!" Midnight cried out to everyone's applause.

"I hope I didn't burn you too badly. You alright?" I asked.

"You did well. I'm impressed by your skills. Beat Bakugo, will you?"

I nodded at him.

He got up and walked away, and I went the other direction. Todoroki would be going against Iida next. But I had more important things to watch.

"Mom? You okay?"

She happened to be sitting in between Deku and Uraraka, and looked like she was intently looking at Deku's notebook.

I sighed in relief.

"Thank you guys so much. Sorry to trouble you."

"No problem!" Kirishima flashed me a smile.

"Yeah, our pleasure. And good job on the match! But are you going to tell us why your mother is here now?" Kaminari asked.

"Right. Well you see..."

After I had told them about the strange man at my house, and the situation with my father, they looked shocked.

"Y/N...you've been taking care of your mom all this time? And your dad — he's just now wanting to meet you?" Tsu questioned.
