"Izu, Todoroki wanted to meet up with you." (Name) says as they walk up towards the plant, "I don't really have an idea of what he wants, he just told me to tell you to meet up with him."

"Uh, okay. Where is he?" Midoriya asked, he looked around until he saw Todoroki staring at the two of them. "Oh, okay. Thanks (Name), I'll meet up with you later."

"You too, Izu." (Name) waves at Midoriya.

☯︎︎

"Um, you wanted to talk?" Midoriya asked nervously, "The dining hall will be packed if you don't hurry.." there was no response from Todoroki, another 'um' came from Midoriya.

"You overwhelmed me, so much that I broke my own pledge, Iida, Kaminari, Yaoyorozu, Tokoyami, Uraraka, none of them felt it. In that last instant, I was the only one feeling that pressure." Todoroki held out his right hand, Midoriya still confused.

"What're you saying? So.."

"I felt the same pressure coming from you. So.. are you All Might's illegitimate child or something."

"Nah. I, well.." Izuku tries to deny the question, he murmurs underneath his breath, "I mean, I'm denying that, but obviously, if I were his kid, I'd try to deny it, so I realize I sound very convincing here.. but no that's not it.." Izuku's murmurs stop, and he looks back at Todoroki, "So.. let me ask you, then why would you think I.."

Todoroki interrupts Midoriya, "'No, that's not it.' Interesting way to phrase it.. there's definitely something you're hiding. I'm sure of it. My father is Endeavor. The second greatest hero of all time. So if you're somehow connected to the number one guy, then.. all the more reason for me to crush you.. My dad.. he's a powerful bastard who only thinks of becoming stronger. Yeah, he's gone all out of his way to make name for himself, as a hero, but he's always seen that living legend, All Might, as a roadblock and an eyeshore, my father could never beat All Might on his own.. so he came up with another plan."

"What's this about Todoroki?" Midoriya asked in a confused tone, "Why are you telling me this?"

"Quirk marriages." Todoroki stated with a plain tone, "You've heard of them, yeah?"

Midoriya gave him a surprised look.

"They started becoming a problem during the second or third generation after quirks appeared, those earlier generations were lacking in ethics, strong individuals would choose a partner and force them to marry for the sole purpose of passing on a strengthened version of their own quirk. With his wealth and fame, my father made my mother's family agree to the marriage, all to get his hands on her quirk." He sighed softly. "Raising me as a hero who could exceed All Might, just to fulfill his own ambitions, I hate it!"

Midoriya's shocked expression never changed.

"Being no more than a tool for that human garbage, I remember it, mom was always crying," Todoroki puts his left hand over his scar, "'I can't stand to see that left side of yours,' she said before scalding water in my face."

Now, the nervous Midoriya was now the sweaty Midoriya.

"In short, not using my left side against you was my revenge on him, never using my rotten father's quirk, no.. by rising to the top without using it, "I'll have denied him everything."

"Your connection with All Might, keep it to yourself, if you want, either way I'll rise above you with just my right side, sorry for wasting your time."

Midoriya starts to follow him, his words stop Todoroki from leaving, "I've.. always had help, no matter the situation, I.. I've only come this far because other people helped me.. All Might, I wanna be just like him for that I hafta become the strongest, might seem like a lame motivation compared to yours, but I'm not gonna loose. All of the people who've helped me, that's how I'll repay them! Let me return your declaration of war with my own.. I'm.. I'm gonna beat you!"

☯︎

It's been a couple of minutes since Midoriya had left the individual by themselves, so they just decided to sit down and chillax. All was fine and dandy until a low budget Pikachu and Grapist come approaching the individual.

"(Name)! Mr. Aizawa said that the girls have to wear the cheerleading outfit, the ones the Americans are using, it's for a grade!" Kaminari started.

"My dad said that?"

Mineta and Kaminari nodded, the individual rose an eyebrow, Mineta and Kaminari pointed over to the girls of Class 1-A, (Name) thought it was suspicious, so they decided not to.

"Why not, Aizawa?" Kaminari says, "He said that it was required."

"I doubt that my father would make the girls wear something that would be a little too much out of their comfort zone." (Name) says, "Anyways, I hope to battle you soon, Kaminari."

☯︎

The people who are going to participate one-on-one battles were decided by the top four teams, (Name) would go against Kaminari the first round, if they wins this round, then they would either go against Iida or Hatsume. (Name) saw Midoriya alone, so they decided to go wish him a good luck, (Name) walks up to the plant, they gave him a couple good luck pats on the head, "You'll do great, Izu.."

"(N)-(Name)! I-I mean, yeah.. I'll do my best, p-plus ultra.."

"Plus ultra."

"Izuku Midoriya. That's you, yeah?" A voice from nowhere makes the two of them jump, (Name) and Midoriya look over to see a purple haired boy, their eyes met with tired ones, theh immediately feel like the strange vibes are consuming them.

"Midoriya!" Ojiro's tail covers Midoriya's mouth, the purple haired boy chuckled before leaving, "That guy.. don't answer him.."
