~Previously~

Tanjirou POV

Stain licks his blade stained with Midoriya's blood. Midoriya falls mid chase due to the villain's quirk and is now unable to move once again. Stain cuts Todoroki's ice wall with ease and tries one more swing.

"Stop it!" I yell, trying to catch up with the Hero Killer.

The hero killer eyes Todoroki with amusement, ready to slice him to bits.

"Todoroki-kun watch out!" The fallen green haired boy yells from behind.

"Please..." Iida pleads

"If you wanna do something, the do something! Set your eyes on the man you want to be!" Todoroki yells in frustration.

3rd POV

Ingenium

That's the man Iida wanted to be.

No.

That's the man he will be.

Todoroki's words echoed in Iida's mind. With a grunt, the blue haired boy forced himself up even if Stain's quirk has yet to fade away. His body was shaking and burning with pain but Iida ignored it.

Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up!

The more Iida struggled against Stain's quirk, the less he felt its grip on him. Charging up the engines in his legs, with one last push, Iida kicks Stain in the stomach before the villain could make minced meat out of Todoroki.

Stain flies a few feet away and his body skids on the cold concrete floor. Said villain moves his body into a cat-like pose and let's his hand drag on the jagged floor to keep him from tumbling away any further.

"Iida!" Midoriya exclaims.

Iida bends down in pain once more, his calves where his engines are located are burning with pain.

"Crap... I'm still not used to my left side. Dammit." Todoroki curses while scrutinizing his left palm.

"Are you alright Iida-kun?" Tanjirou asks.

"Yes... Todoroki-kun, could you cool down my engines without blocking the pipes?" The blue haired boy asks, turning his head to said classmate.

"Alright, I'll try." Todoroki lifts his right arm and lets it hover just above Iida's leg. Cool air begins to surround Iida's leg as ice builds up around his engines.

With Todoroki cooling Iida's leg down and Midoriya still struggling against Stain's quirk. The villain found an opening and throws one of his knives towards us. Luckily Tanjirou's nose picked up the scent of the fast approaching knife and deflects the sharp blade with his wooden sword.

Todoroki finishes cooling Iida's leg and Midoriya finally broke free of Stains grip. The Hero Killer launches himself at the high schoolers but the four of them are prepared.

My kick!

My fist!

My swing!

Midoriya and Iida throw their own attacks at the villain at the same time while Tanjirou delays his own just slightly. Midoriya punches Stain in the face from the right while Iida kicks the villain in the stomach from the left. The two heroes in training fall back and land on the ground, making room for Tanjirou to land his own hit.

Breath of Water, Second Form: Water Wheel!

Tanjirou swings are the villain with a vertical slash and knocks his body downwards.
