Todoroki vs izuku (Todoroki's POV)

"Come at me with everything you have Todoroki!"

Hearing that I retaliated with my ice.

Izuku placed his thumb in his mouth and launched another shock wave pushing me back.

Ice appeared behind me to deal with the recoil to stay in bounds. But more ice started appearing on me. Causing me to lose more mobility than before.

"Why? Why are you going this far?"

With a shout of conviction from part of izuku "Because I want to live up to everyone's expectations!"

"That's why"

"I'll win"

I remember crying in front of my mother

"I-I don't wanna be like dad, I don't wanna be someone who hurts people"

No, I can't I reject my father's left si-

"It's yours, your quirk not his!"

_________________________________________

"Honey you do still want to be a hero don't you?"

"Just remember to stay true to yourself"

"You are not a prisoner of lineage"

"It's ok to use your power to become who you want to be"

_________________________________________

I didn't realize how much I had forgotten.

Todoroki's left side went up in flames causing the crowd to look in a mixture of excitement and anticipation

"Amazing"

"Why are you smiling with those
injuries in this hopeless situation"

"You fool even though you want to win this battle"

"Now which one of us if screwing around"

"I want it too I'll be a hero!"

"Don't blame me for what happens next"

At that moment my father my past my hatred I forgot all about it right here right now none of that mattered all that matters right now is here in the present.

Ice that covered a good portion of my right side turned to gas

The fight was reaching its climax izuku powered up his legs todoroki was about to launch a devastating ice attack.

The teachers were trying to intervene in the fight. Cementos with his cement and midnight with her gas the effort was futile in the end.

Midoriya closing in with his injured body and todoroki intensifying both of his sides.

In one smooth swipe

"I see now midoriya thanks"

John's POV

During the conflict, a strong gush of wind came to the audience's direction enough to push most of us back. All that was left in sight was fog. not knowing who was the winner everyone just patiently waited for the winner some with their jaws dropped.

I was even covering my face to shield myself from the wind.

I looked down just to see izuku leaning on a wall injured dropping to the floor soon after. todoroki still standing with half of his shirt gone.

Many thoughts were flying, todoroki mostly uses exclusively his ice it'd totally make sense that he's way more skilled with ice than with fire. But it's still impressive.
