- THE ATMOSPHERE WAS tense as i returned to my seat next to iida and ochaco. the two smiled at me- ochaco's smile looking more pained than sweet when paired with her puffy red eyes and tear stains.
"are you... sure you're okay?" i lean down, eyebrows furrowed.
she laughs halfheartedly, wiping her eyes, "yeah, just- just allergies, that's all!"
iida and i glance at each other, but we say nothing as the entire class falls silent, all of us staring at todoroki and izuku apprehensively. i wiped my palms on my thighs in an effort to clean them of sweat, but my racing heart didn't slow down.
[ "IT'S THE FIRST MATCH OF THE SECOND ROUND! THESE TWO HEROES IN TRAINING HAVE BOTH BEEN FRONTRUNNERS IN THE SPORTS FESTIVAL!" ]
i sigh shakily, present mic's enthusiastic commentary doing nothing to calm my nerves.
[ "IT'S MIDORIYA!" ]
izuku stares ahead at his opponent, fists clenched.
[ "VEERSUSS... TODOROKI!" ]
shoto's eyebrows furrow.
[ "BUT WHICH ONE OF THESE RIVALS WILL ADVANCE TO THE NEXT ROUND?" ]
they both simultaneously step forward.
[ "... BEGIN!" ]
in a split second, a wave of ice erupts from shoto's foot- shooting straight for izuku. he extends his hand, his thumb and middle finger lighting up with his power as he flicks the glacier into small shards of ice. the sheer intensity of the power sends a wave of frost into the stands, hitting every single member of the audience in a cold front.
"woah- feels like this wind is gonna freeze me solid!"
shoto's arm shields his face of the flying blocks of his broken ice, staring at izuku dangerously.
i shiver, falling back into my seat, "he broke more bones."
"hey- look on the bright side! he might actually win!"
izuku winces, trembling as he holds his wrist. the ice clears, and the warmth of the sun finally shines through the cold air.
shoto sends another barrage of ice at izuku, who's pointer finger shines with illuminated power as he breaks the ice wall into minuscule chunks.
