Shoto's fire is something Noa hasn't really gotten the chance to see before.
Of course, she's seen a little bit of it, when he gives in and balances his temperature, or when he gets a little too angry. But this, this is truly amazing.
The flames dance along his left side, blowing his hair back and brightening his blue eye. His right side keeps producing frost on his skin that doesnt even stay there for over 5 seconds, it melted so fast.
"You're helping your opponent." He says, looking towards Midoriya, who stands with a proud and still determined face. "Even when you want to win this battle."
The fire grows, Shoto making a fist. "You fool. Now which one of us is screwing around?"
Shoto is standing up straight now, a new look in his eyes as his flames roar on his left side. "I want it, too. I'll be a hero!"
A smile grows on his face, one he hadn't even know he was capable of making. Midoriya returns the smile, eyes lighting with pride.
"YYESS SHOTO!" A flaming Endeavor walks down the stairs in the crowd, making his way to the front. His voice is loud enough for the entire stadium to hear.
"Have you finally accepted your purpose? Thats it, very good. This is the dawn of a new era for us!"
Shoto doesn't look at him, his smile doesn't falter as he continues to look at his opponent. Noa's nails dig into her palms as she looks at the flaming hero, who grips the fence at the end of the stands.
"With my blood in your veins, you'll surpass me. You will live up to the reason I created you!"
Does he not realize that he's on live television? That everyone within a five-hundred ft radius can hear him? Noa shakes her head, focusing on her brother. Midoriya is still looking at him with a huge smile on his face.
"Amazing." He breaths.
"Why are you smiling?" Shoto asks, wiping his nose with his sleeve. The bite in his voice makes Izuku's face fall a little.
"With those injuries, in this hopeless situation... you must be crazy."
Midoriyas face hardens, determination overpowering the pride in his accomplishment. Shoto bends down, his left side still ablaze as he uses his right foot to cover the ground in ice.
"Don't blame me for what happens next."
He braces himself, and Midoriya does the same, his quirk glowing under his skin.
