You think you can control me?...

Just at that moment, a blasting chill swept over them. Hanako turned and saw ice layering the outer walls of the stadium. Spikes of ice pointed threateningly at the spectatirs in the front row.

" C-cold!" Uraraka wrapped her arms around her, teeth chattering. 

She faintly heard Present mic's voice under the loud exclaimations of the spectators, "What was that??"

Hanako crushed the spikes of ice in front of her to gain a view. Leaning over the wall, and saw Todorki with his arm out, and an enormous boulder of ice that was the height of the stadium and even leaning over the building, overshadowing the outside

Looking closer, she realised that Sero was partially stuck inside the ice.

Hanako turned to look at Todoroki.

"He looks pissed," she said. After some thoughts, she continued, " Although he normally looks like that. More pissed that usual I guess."

Midnight sensei pointed her whip at Sero. "Sero, are you still able to move?"

Sero stared at her like it was the most stupidest thing she could say. " O-of course not—" he winced, skin twisting under the tight hold of the ice.

" Sero has been immobolised! Todoroki advances to the second round!" Midnight sensei concluded.

Despite the cold, the spectators clapped loudly.

Hanako hummed to herself as she watched Todoroki unfreeze Sero. 

" But then again, he looks sad—no, miserable, too." She muttered.

The next few matches passed by quickly. 

Before Hanako knew it, it was the seventh match. It was interesting to see the match unfold between Kirishima and Tetsutetsu. They both had the ability to harden their skin to make their bodies literal armour. The winner would be the one who has the most endurance.

In the middle of that match, Uraraka stood up, ready to go to the waiting room.

'Oh right, her match is coming up soon,' Hanako thought. ' Against....'

Hanako hummed. Uraraka would be going against that ruthless pomeranium.

" Good luck," she said to Uraraka as she was nearing the exit.

Uraraka halted and looked at Hanako. She smiled at her, unknowing of Hanako's knowledge of the waves of nerves deep in her heart.

" You'll be fine. Just keep calm and have a strategy in mind." Hanako said comfortingly.

Uraraka nodded. " I'll definitely win!" She said, putting her thumb up before leaving.

...
...

Hanako turned back to the match to see Kirishima and Tetsutetsu still locked in a close combat battle.

' One of then should just carve out a rock in the ground and throw it at the other,' Hanako thought, huffing.

Sparks were flying as Kirishima's rock hard skin scratched against Tetsutetsu's iron skin. It went back and forth, and Hanako wondered if there was going to be an end.

They were bruised, beaten up and bleeding, they were passing their limit.

Finally, both punched each other in the face. They stumbled back away from each other. They were breathing hard, and it seemed as if they were going to continue the fight, however, they fell back in exhuastion, passing out.
