"Hey, don't say that. You'd never know. Maybe there's gonna be something that might give you some luck or chance at winning?" He said, trying to reassure me as I giggled, nodding as I looked into his eyes, my smile more genuine.
"I'll keep your word to that then, Shoto."
"Both of these two have been the ones that have been in constant battle for the top spot! The two who've been supporting each other non-stop from the start of the event! How will this battle end?!" The sound of Present Mic's voice boomed from the speakers, my eyes staring straight at the opponent in front of me.
"Shoto Todoroki versus Shiro Kurayami!!!" The roars of the crowds were deafening to the ears, a smirk holding on my lips as I stand still, Todoroki with an unreadable expression across from me.
It was a standstill for quite some time now. That is, until the sound of the horn blared. From the sound, Todoroki instantly stomped his foot to the ground, a wall of ice hurdling towards me as I run forward.
As the spikes of ice neared my running figure, I halted in my tracks, bending my knees before jumping up and away from the ice, the ice just mere inches away from the soles of my shoes as I jump over them.
"Gotta try harder than that, Shoto!" I taunted, landing a little ways from him as I sprint to the side, dodging yet another incoming spike of ice.
"..." During the current battle, Todoroki remained silent, his eyes focused on my running figure as he continuously sends walls of ice shooting toward me.
"You're getting nowhere by just dodging around the bounds." He said, slamming his hands onto the floor as a layer of ice covered the whole ground, myself slipping slightly before adjusting myself and skating across the ice to get closer to him.
"Maybe, but it's slowing you down." I hinted, mentally thanking Bakugo for his analysis as I got close enough to Todoroki, giving a uppercut straight to his jaw as he lurched back from the impact.
"And Kurayami lands the first hit! Don't look down on her everyone! Even without a Quirk, she sure can land a mean punch!" Present Mic audibly 'ooh'ed from my punch as the crowd cheered.
"Yeah! You go, Kurayami!" A sudden yell made me turn my head, seeing Tetsutetsu cupping his mouth as he cheered louder than the rest of his class, making me smile.
A sudden chill crept up my right leg, myself hurried lifting it up to prevent anymore ice from growing onto it as I jump away from the incoming hand of Todoroki.
Seeing the frost that wrapped around my leg, I look toward Todoroki who had gotten back up from the punch, his jaw slightly red as he glared at me.
Smirking at my work, I yelp as I narrowly dodge a wall of ice as one spike had ripped the side of my clothes slightly, cutting my skin as blood dripped from the small wound.
"You can't run forever, Shiro. Your stamina will eventually run out." Todoroki said, catching sight of my slight panting and heavy breathing as I jump over yet another attack of ice.
"And you can't keep using your ice forever. You're getting slow, Shoto." I shot back, aiming a kick to his side with my slightly frozen leg, hitting his ribs as the frost broke from the impact, Todoroki gripping at the area with a wince.
"Hey, you remember what we trained about right? Have you gotten the hang of it? I'd really like to see it by now." I mentioned, making him raise an eyebrow in confusion as he dodged my incoming punch.
"Are you even trying to win? It feels like you're just fooling around." A blue glow emitted from his palms, ice forming in his hands as a shape took form in them.
"What?! Todoroki just made a weapon with his Quirk! Is that even possible?!" The crowd went wild from the sudden new trick, myself jumping away from him as he swung the weapon at me.
"Hey! You improved!" I grinned, still dodging his sword as he continued to swing it at me, his movements fast as a few cuts and hits appeared on my skin.
Todoroki kept moving forward, still using the weapon in hopes of striking me as I moved back and dodged. Looking over my shoulder, I found that I was close to the edge by now, trying to jump to side.
But the problem was, a wall of ice was there, trapping me from moving away.
"And Kurayami has been caged in! Will she be able to get out now?!" Glancing at both left and right, ice walls trapped me in preventing me from escaping the edge or the sword of Todoroki any further.
"Heh, well played here Shoto." I smirked, my feet barely touching the line of the edge as I stood still, the tip of the sword right below my chin as Todoroki held it against me.
Lifting my arms up, I do a surrendering movement, my eyes locked onto Todoroki's as Midnight announced the end of the battle.
"Kurayami has surrendered! Todoroki advances to the final round!" She cracked her whip, the sword in Todoroki's hand slowly lowering as the ice around us steamed, melting as I stood there with Todoroki in front of me.
"Man! This is sure one hell of a year folks!" Present Mic commented, the crowd cheering and waving as the two of us continue stand there looking at one another.
"Great job, Shoto. Although you need a little more practise on your creations." I smiled, walking towards the tunnels as he followed, silence enveloping us as we head towards the infirmary.
"Have you by any chance, talked to my father previously? He seemed pretty pissed at you." He said, myself humming as we continued down the hallways.
"Yeah, I guess. But it wasn't anything important, I just asked for directions to the restrooms that's all." I lied, earning a nod from him as he enter the infirmary, Recovery Girl already there as she looked over at us.

"And Tokoyami has surrendered! Bakugo wins!" Midnight announced, the crowds going wild as Bakugo gets off of Tokoyami and glances up.
"Looks like our final match is set! Todoroki versus Bakugo!" Present Mic yelled, the two of them glaring at each other as the tension between them grew thick, myself sweatdropping next to Todoroki.
"But before that!" A sudden interruption caused everyone to quiet down, myself looking up at the scoreboards in shock as I nudge Todoroki.
"Shoto... Look." I muttered, pointing at the monitor as he did so, looking up only for his eyes to widened slightly.
"Since both the losers of the third round did their best to get here! We decided to let them have one more chance! The two will be battling for the extra spot in the final match!" The words that came from Present Mic shocked me, my eyes staring at the match-ups with wide eyes.
Shiro Kurayami versus Fumikage Tokoyami
"W-what..." I tried to form any sort of words, my attempts futile as they just get caught up in my throat.
"We'll be getting the final top three after the break everyone!"
