* Now that izuku had his super suit back, now that he was no longer feeling any pain, he was back to his cocky smile. As Rumi dashed towards him, throwing another kick like the last time. The only difference is that izuku caught it. He didn't wait or say anything snarky. He raised her by her leg and threw her to the wall. But Rumi wasn't izuku. She was actually trained, so instead of hitting the wall in a crash, she positioned her legs to the wall and used it to push herself back to izuku with twice the force. Izuku raised his right hand and just said 2 things that made her eyes widened.*

Izuku: activate flamethrower

Rumi: "Flame, what?"

*Rumi thought as she had seconds to change her positions. And she did. She moved her top weight around so that she would fall. She grunted, feeling the heat of the fire close to her and making contact with her shoes and pants. So she needed to be quick, with her hands on the floor she scrounged down acting like a spring lock and released both her legs on Izuku's chest, unlike before it didn't send the boy flying, but it did make him move back a couple or steps and stumble to his back. Izuku turned off the flamethrower before he wasted the fuel, as he was getting up, rumi was rolling on the ground putting the fire off her pants, she managed to do it, and grew annoyed when she heard the boy laughing inside his tin can suit.*

Izuku: Would you look at that. I do believe those are first degree burns on parts of your legs. Some even look like second-degree. Looks like I've gotten some damage on you.

Rumi: You talk too much. So what? You burned my legs a little. Do you think you can win with a cheap trick like that? There's a limit to the gas you have. And I'm far too fast to get caught by it. Especially now that I know you have fire ability in that tin can.

*Rumi said, and much to izuku's annoyance, she was right. That failed moved cost him 68% of his fuel for the flamethrower, so he only has enough for one short fire. But izuku didn't let that bother him since he's more than a one trick pony on the state fair. He chuckled and got in a fighting position that looked so similar to a certain pro hero who was looking through the cameras with the rest of the teachers.*

Izuku: You're right. But you see. I have more than just fire. Now that I have this puppy upgraded with better batteries, it allowed me to add a few.... modifications. See if this looks familiar to you.

*izuku said as he ran towards Rumi, putting a big percentage of the battery power of his machine into this one punch. Was it necessary? No. Quite frankly, izuku should be conserving energy for when the punches connect. But was he showing off? All day, every day. All the god damned time izuku will pick showing off over being reasonable. So with his arm pulled back, izuku screamed to the world a move that wasn't his own.*

Izuku: Delaware smash!!

With the teachers

Toshinori: I feel like I should have a word with him about copyright infringement.

*Toshinori said in good-natured with a chuckle as he watched the TV. Seeing Rumi dodge the punch, since well. Izuku made the mistake of announcing it, which was a mistake in toshinori's opinion. Don't get him wrong. He fully admits that he does it. But he had the power to back it up. Izuku is just flexing for the sake of flexing. Nezu chuckled with toshinori as he looked at the current number one hero.*

Nezu: Come now, he's just a kid showing off. What do you think of it?

Toshinori: Honestly? That looked like my Texas smash, not my more powerful Delaware smash. But I guess I can't blame him for not knowing the difference

*Toshinori said as he examined the crater that the punch made to the ground. And it was nowhere near the type of crater it would've done if it was equal to his own Delaware smash. Toshinori kept watching the match, seeing Rumi taking the advantage again, as she punched him from behind, trying to break the armor. Aizawa glanced at Toshinori since there was clearly more that he wanted to say.*
