It'll only get better//Todoroki x oc/reader

Chapter 16

The battle will begin soon and you are stretching to prepare yourself for the challenging task. You could see Kaminari and Hagakure (well you could see her gloves) chatting to each other on your right whilst Todoroki was on your left eyeing you cautiously.

Thankfully you were all allowed to wear your hero costumes so you had your capture tape, throwing knives and jet boots (which you will only use for your last option to avoid getting to tired half way through.)

"All right team c is about to begin, Mitsuki are you ready?!" All might asked with enthusiasm.

"All set let's jet!" You shouted back. (What? You needed to have a good catchphrase if you wanted to be a memorable hero, just look at All might)

He gave a thumbs up at your comment and counted down to begin the match while keeping his thumb on the stopwatch start button.

"3,2,1....plus ultra!" He called out as the timer began.

You immediately had to shoot up with the palms of your hands to avoid the ice that was coming towards your feet. The main problem was coming back down. 'Well crap how is this gonna work?' You pondered as the ground was getting closer and closer towards you.

You could either use your quirk to slow you down or to blast away the incoming attacks that you could see Kaminari and Todoroki preparing for.

'How about plan c' you sniggered as you skilfully threw two throwing knives at both boys which managed to distract them just long enough for you to land safely. "Shows not over boys I'm back in the ring" you cheered with a smug smirk.

After a couple of minutes, you had your water sword out and was able to block the icicles that Todoroki was shooting at you whilst you narrowly avoided Kaminari's attempts to capture you. "Hey that wasn't very ice of you Todoroki and Kaminari how shocking of you to do such a thing."

Your comments seem to stun them in place one laughing their head off and the other sighing in defeat leaving you enough time to create distance between the both of you.

One person that you haven't had to avoid was Hagakure. 'Where could she be?' As you were thinking that you felt a breath of air tickle the back of your neck and you quickly used your capture tape to apprehend her.

"Haha should've watched your back Mitsuki~" Hagakure said playfully as you were tying her up.

Before you could try to understand what she meant it was too late. In an instant, whilst you kept your eyes on Hagakure this was actually their plan to distract you whilst Todoroki, in a matter of seconds, froze the back of you successfully freezing your boots and palms of your hands.

You fell to the floor in defeat as Hagakure wrapped the capture tape, that was still loosely wrapped around her, around your wrists calling time.

"4 minutes and 27 seconds phew that sure is a great time congratulations Mitsuki!" All might beamed at you.

Even though you knew that you did well and that you should be proud, you honestly just felt disappointed in yourself.
'How did I not see it coming?' You questioned as you tightened your fists.

Your mood did not go unnoticed as a sympathetic Hagakure and a surprisingly helpful Kaminari tried to reassure you whilst Todoroki defrosted the ice carved around you and helped you up off of the ground to make sure that you were all right.

"Yes I'm sure that I'm fine Shouto don't worry about me you're up next anyways, do your best!" You replied with an uneasy smile. 'Let's just hope that I won't be dead last out of the four of us.' You hoped.

It was now Todoroki's turn and you were standing near his left side. You had realised that Todoroki had yet to use his fire quirk so, while it was cruel of you, you knew that he wouldn't have the guts to use it.
