i watched eijro and katsuki fight. i didn't cheer for any of them, since i'm best friends with eijiro and katsuki was sort of my crush. i don't think i'd ever really admit that to anyone but myself. i admire katsuki a lot.
anyways, i watched katsuki become the offensive and eijiro the defensive. it was obvious eijiro was straining his body by hardening himself, his blood flow was odd and quickened around the parts he kept himself defensive on. katsuki used that and hit him in the side, this time being effective.
katsuki began creating blast after blast, finishing with a final blow and yelling his signature die! as eijro was immobilized. the final four showed up on the screen and i smiled upon seeing my face next to todoroki's. i'd be facing him next and i was hoping that i could at least get third.
todoroki was incredibly strong and the way his blood moved was scary with the different temperatures. with everyone getting ready again, i went off. i crossed paths with midoriya and iida and they wished me good luck.
i met todoroki there and we were silent the entire time. as soon as we were called, i happily skipped over to the arena. todoroki and i stood in front of each other.
"the first match of the semi-finals! with both of them from hero families, it's a battle of the elites!" i roll my eyes at the introduction. it's not like my family was rich. we didn't own a mansion or something or even a villa. "from the hero course, it's sato hana! versus! also from the hero course, todoroki shoto!"
with todoroki now glaring at me, i simply smile back at his stoic and harsh nature. his determination reminded me a lot of midoriya's. he had told me his sob story while we were in recovery girl's office after the usj attack.
i predicted he wouldn't use his flames, since midoriya was the one to get him fired up. in a way, i understood that and that's what made it so predictable that he would only use his ice against me. but i wanted to provoke him even against my better judgment that i might win. maybe it would give him a better perspective.
"start!"
using the tactic from before during the qualifier, i created my tentacles and bounced myself upwards. somewhere in the crowd, a heard a whoop; probably my mom. ice shot towards my figure and up. if i could get him to use his flames, i might be able to not freeze up my own blood.
bounding over to the other side, i focus on todoroki as he creates another path of ice, blocking me in from both sides. as i find myself in the middle, i do my best to think quickly as i jump up quickly and fling myself towards todoroki and grab him by the shoulders.
i propel myself towards him in what looks like an offensive attack. i catch him off guard as i give him a soft smile, as i hoped would affect him. it did, and so i leaned in close. "it is your quirk, you know." i whisper, making his eyes widen as he reacts suddenly and i feel him try to freeze me up. i push off of him, but not as quickly as i thought as i felt the weight of my blood being frozen up. i whip it away, breaking it off before it spread.
panic spread through my body, effectively being lessened by my medication. i could feel my heart trying to pump out more blood as it was beating against my ribcage. looking over my shoulder, i see todoroki standing defensively against me, but not doing anything else. ice was forming around his foot, but i didn't know if he knew he wasn't attacking.
thinking more quickly about trying to get the frozen blood back in my body and warmed, i turn. "use yours and i'll use mine!" i yell out, desperation masked by calm. i see something in him and fire erupts from him and he runs towards me. finding myself at my broken-off extra-limb, i use him to warm it before i grab it back up and attach it to me. i was slowing down and so was he. at this point is was about endurance and if i were to use my body-bend on him, i could only use it on two of his limbs.
securing myself away from him in an almost goose-chase, i stand my ground and retreat all the blood covering my arms. present mic yells around the arena, showing shock for me getting rid of my defense. giving into a stance, i move my hands to stop the said boy from moving, trapping his legs. i can feel the shock of him being stuck in place and the confusion of the crowd as to why he stopped moving.
i was tired, though. sorry, katsuki. the only thing i was able to do was to hold him in place, gathering my strength and moving it to the one side of his body i feared more and made sure he was unable to shoot any ice at me.
my hands trembled, my fear and anxiety crawling on me. i began to get flashbacks from the last time i used this power of mine and i suddenly dropped my hands, feeling exhausted from all of that. i had fought with it for a minute but gave up.
i feel my legs give out and i fall to my knees. "shit." i whisper. it really was an endurance race. i felt the heat come up as i watch todoroki walk up to me. i give him a weak smile, kin to the one i gave him earlier.
"you're like me," he says, retreating his fire, and the cool air of the arena clouds my senses. i laugh.
"that i am. thank you for not underestimating me," i say, feeling myself slip into unconsciousness. through the black haze creeping my eyes, i see todoroki's hand in front of me. with a smile, i take it and he pulls me up to lean on him. he turns us to midnight.
"i give up."
