SOLITUDE [Shoto Todoroki x OC]

Chapter 8

Yuzuki's POV
i sat with the rest of my class watching the first fight between Midoriya and the general studies kid Shinso. i felt someone tap on my shoulder only to see Todoroki behind me. he waved him hand for me to come over to him which i did.

"is there something you need?" i asked while we stood behind the rest of the class

"i just want to let you know that you have a high chance of winning to go against me. i've seen your dad up there this whole time his face almost reminds me of my own father, don't hold back." he said.

i looked around to see my fathers face and there he was. Todoroki wasn't wrong about his face but he wasn't the one i was to worried about. it was my grandmother, i know i have a low chance of beating Todoroki, but ill try my hardest.

"i won't, ill try my best to beat you." i said. it looked like he was holding back a smile. he nodded his head and i went back to our seats.

-
it was finally my turn, i need to win. i entered the arena to hear Present Mic say, "even beautiful flowers have thorns it's the assassin from class 1b, Ibara Shiozaki from the hero course!"

" versus class 1a hero course student with blood that can kill, Yuzuki Hitori!" Present Mic shouted and a yelling took over the whole arena. she then went on that she came to win not to kill. i almost saw a light shine over her, "dang i just want to fight i don't care about introductions." i muttered to myself.

"BEGIN!" Present Mic yelled!

as soon as i heard that i ran towards her dodging the thick vines heading towards me. the ground started to crack, 'so she is trying to attack from under' i solidified the ground under me hoping that could hold off until i reach her. right as i was about to attack to used her vines to make a shield putting her back to me.

i put two steaks in the ground giving me a boost, i landed right over her. as i was in the air i unleashed two streams of blood to wrap around her. she was quick to open her eyes, sending a vine straight to me. it was already to late for her , i tighten and solidified the 'ropes' around her throwing her out of balance.

"the winner is Hitori, she advances on!" midnight says

i look up to see were my grandmother is and she gives me a head nod. "im so sorry to disappoint my class." my opponent holds her head down. i return the blood back into my body and help her up.

"you did a good job, our quirks are almost similar if you think about it." i stated

"i can see the similarities, but that quirk is utterly gross though" i stood dumbfounded by her response.

'oh okay vine lady, how do you even brush your hair!' i thought rolling my eyes.

-

after seeing the round between Uraraka and Bakugo it made me fearful if i would even get to face Todoroki. i needed to show him my full potential.

-

it was my turn again this time i would be going aging Iida, his quirk of strong but i just wish he knew when to shut up some days. he's always been like this.

i walked into class about 30 minutes after the bell rang. my lateness was caused by me giving myself a personal haircut before school. i got into a heated argument with my grandma and she started to looks into it so i threaten to cut my hair, which i did.

recalling the memories that haven't previously i was met with someone chopping their hand in my face.

"Hitori! you know your hair is in violation of school grooming practices!" Iida stated

he's always been on everyone for dress code and how only certain hairstyles were allowed. "i know ill fix it tomorrow."

"i hope so, i wouldn't want a fellow classmate getting into trouble." he left me be after that

i guess he's been like that ever since junior high, i thought he would've at least lighten up. reminiscing on our past experiences i was walking up to the arena while Present Mic said our intros.

"BEGIN" he shouts

Iida already takes off heading straight towards me, i give myself a boost just going over his head before he can reach me. i hear a screech against the ground to see him changing directions again.

he messed me by a hair once a landed on the ground i have to take action quick before he just drags me out of bounds. i boost myself up again high enough to give me time to make a thick log to clog his engines.

his back was faced towards me about to make around sharp turn but he soon tumbled over his own legs. he look down at his engines to see solidified blood stopping him. i saw another opening so i wrapped a rope around him placing his out of bounds.

"Hitori advances!" Midnight says. the crowd filled with a great roar of cheers and some boo's.

i went over to Iida taking the blood out his engines as i helped him up. he held his hand out towards me i quickly gave him a confused look.

i swiftly shook his hand, "i've admired your hard work since junior high Hitori." he said

i felt a slight tug on my lips as we let our hands fall down and exit the arena awaiting the next fight.

-

it was finally time to go against Todoroki, to show him how much work i put into my quirk.

we walked into the arena, "now we have our students from class 1-a going against each other, and what's this their parents are both top ten pro hero's?!" Present Mic said in a fake shocked voice.

Todoroki was staring right at me not even focusing on the accountments. "BEGIN!" just as i expected he sent a wall of ice towards me. i slapped my hands together sending a piercing stream to break through the ice.

i walked towards it more to see Todoroki's face he looked like he was surprised, but pleased. i broke the ice more so i could get through and my face was met with more ice sent my way. i created a wall to protect me.

i took the chance to use to same attack i trained with, i made three points on each arm come out head straight towards Todoroki. they wrapped around him easily, i used all my strength to send him out of bounds, but he used his ice to block him from getting out.

i slightly lowered my head in defeat. 'i can't give up' i let go of him and sent the ropes right back at him, he was struggling to get out of them so i took my chance again. he looked up and his eyes met mine a smirk washed over his face.

i picked up my foot only to see it wasn't moving. i looked down to see his ice froze me in my spot, i formed a blade but was hit by another wave of ice that froze my entire body. i hissed at the freezing temperature that was pressed against my neck.

he won. i couldn't move so the point would go to him. 'it's done that quick..' i thought

"Todoroki wins, he'll be advancing." Midnight said

'why didn't i do better' my thoughts raced while thinking of what my grandmother would say and what my dad would do.

i wanted to break down crying, but i felt the ice around start to melt i looked in front of me and saw Todoroki with his hand pressed against the ice. a part of his face looked like it slightly frozen.

he let out a large breathe, "i don't think your weak." he whispered next to my ear. as he backed up i only looked him in the eye realizing i could move my legs freely.

"i know im not." i said next to his ear. "we should train more together." i said while facing my back to him walking out of the arena. i didn't even know if i was telling myself the truth, i don't even know why i said that.

i reached the end of the tunnel i wanted to to break down, but i couldn't. this is the one time i could've proved myself, but i just wasn't focused. i had to deal with my family when i got home now.
