Uraraka had known she was going to lose the match. She knew that she didn't have a chance against Katsuki. But, that didn't make the pain of losing the match go away.

It also really didn't help that she couldn't even get close to Katsuki.

When the match started Katsuki fired a beam from his hands in an instant, forcing Uraraka to dodge. Then he continued unleashing attacks against her while keeping his distance.

The moment Uraraka slowed down from exhaustion she got hit by one of the beams in her leg and felt surprisingly little pain. But, then a much larger pain erupted from her stomach from Katsuki dashing forward with his quirk and releasing a blast that pushed her out of bounds.

Katsuo watched the fight up in the stands, enjoying his excess of snacks, and noting how much Katsuki's grown. 'Seems he's learned how to fire the beams quickly. But he still relies on two hands. That's no good... I'll have to do something about that if we fight.'

The two participants walked off the stage and Katsuo leaned over to Iida. "Thousand Yen says Izumi wins."

Iida looked at Katsuo. "Are you... trying to gamble with me?"

"Nope I AM gambling with you."

"That behavior would be unbecoming of us as future heroes and current students of U.A."

"Fine... One Yen."

"You're on. I believe Todoroki will be triumphant in this conflict."

"Now we're talking!! Get ready to hand over the Yen Tenya cause Izumi's going to win this. Easy."

"You overestimate her and underestimate Todoroki. So, I am afraid that I shall be the victor for our current confrontation."

"Sure you will."

"I will be! You shall see that I am correct!"

"The hell are you idiots talking about?!"

Katsuo and Iida turned around to see that Katsuki had just gotten back.

"We're talking about who's going to win the next fight." Katsuo answered.

"He believes that Izumi will be the conquering party."

Katsuki snorted when he heard Iida talk and looked at Katsuo. "You really think Deku can beat Todoroki?"

"I think she could. Even if he used his fire side against her."

Katsuki scoffed at Katsuo's response. "Dumbass."

"Tsundere."

"Weirdo."

"Pomeranian."

"Mini Juice Man."

Katsuo gasped and pointed an accusatory finger at Katsuki. "You take that back!"

"Then stop calling me a Tsundere."

"Can't. It's impossible."

"Then you're Mini Juice Man from now on."

"NOO- Oh hey they're starting." Katsuo cut himself off in the middle of his cry when he saw Kirishima and Testutestu walking onto the field.

The two boys started arm wrestling to see who would pass onto the next round.

It took around three seconds for the three up in the stands to lose focus on them and start talking again.

Kirishima won the arm wrestling match and the next round was soon the start.

Izumi put on her mask as she stepped up onto the field. She and Todoroki locked eyes as Present Mic began announcing.

"See how far away they are? No way can Deku do something to him!"

"Yes, and how can she stop Todoroki from simply encasing her in ice at the start? If she uses her quirk to break the ice her arm would be destroyed from the blowback."

Katsuo smirked at their questions and answered with a simple, "Watch."

"Midoriya versus Todoroki!!"

"START!!"
