7 Strategy.
"Who do you think will win? My moneys on Todoroki." Kirishima called out to the class.
"Todoroki and Shoji. It's the perfect combination of brain and brawn." Kaminari said.
"Ojiro and Toshiaki are both quite intelligent and we haven't seen the full capabilities of their quirks. Todoroki's quirk is also quite an unknown." Tokoyami said.
"I'll be surprised if Toshiaki doesn't give up halfway through," Jirou commented under her breath.
-----------------------
"We can't beat Todoroki and Shouji in a physical confrontation." I broke the news to Ojiro.
"Well, of course, but we should still try right?" Ojiro asked. He also knew they wouldn't be able to win in a physical confrontation.
"Yeah sure. This all depends on the strategy we use to employ. Todorok'is quirk seems to be 2 in one. He can create ice and melt it with his fire. If I'm thinking correctly he'll want to end this fight quickly and possibly freeze the entire building along with us. Shojis Quirk is a complete unknown" I explained.
"That would make sense. There's not much we can do about that." Ojiro said while scratching his neck.
"Have you ever played an RPG?" I asked.
"No I'm not much of gamer." Ojiro was taken aback from the sudden question.
"Todoroki's power is what you'd call an AoE. It covers a wide area, this just means that his allies will probably be caught in his attacks as well."
"I get what you're saying. Shoji will probably have to leave the building at one point. So that's when we'll strike."
Ojiro understood quicker than I expected.
"Yes. When we feel the temperature drop we'll go to the bottom floor."
The two teams had 1 minute to plan and the time was over. All Might had begun the match.
----------------------------
"They're both on the top floor and not making any movements," Shoji said using his tentacle mouth.
"Go outside. It's dangerous. Our opponents intend to fight a defensive fight. But that does not matter to me." Shoji listened and walked outside.
He placed his hand on the wall and spread his ice to the entire building.
Todoroki took his hand off the wall, thinking the fight was over. He began to walk towards the stairs, but before he took the first step on the stairs. He was grabbed and taken somewhere else.
He found himself on a different floor.
"So this was your plan? Bringing me here and splitting me from Shoji?"
"How smart." Was the sarcastic answer of Yasuhiro.
Immediately Todoroki threw his hand forward and sent out a wave of Ice with sharp spikes.
Yasuhiro grabbed Ojiro and sent him behind Todoroki while he sent himself to His right side where the ice wasn't covering his body.
This was the plan. A two-sided offence which didn't give him much to decide who to attack. A full out assault was what they needed to do.
Ojiro used his tail to land a blow onto the side of Todoroki's ribs and while Yasuhiro used his right leg to hit him on the chest.
When these attacks both hit, the part of the body they used to attack him froze not much but it still froze. Todoroki still took the brunt of the two attacks, so he was still injured.
Ojiro simply smacked his tail on the floor to get rid of the ice.
"Ojiro." Yasuhiro made a peace sign with his hands and Ojiro immediately understood what was going on.
"Being the son of 2nd best hero must be great right?" Yasuhiro called out. All he needed was a slight moment of hesitation.
"What?"
"You're the son of the 2nd best hero right? You can have anything you want."
"Don't talk like you know-" Before he could speak, Ojiro managed to get behind him used his tail to hit on the back of the head with all his force.
Todoroki was on the floor but he was still conscious.
"So that's what puts you on edge. I didn't mean anything I said, I just had to win. No hard feelings Todoroki." Ojiro was busy wrapping his hands with capture tape.
------------------
"Shoto Todoroki has been captured!"
It was a massive upset according to the class.
"This just goes to show ingenuity and battle tactics are a massive part of being a hero. Young Ojiro and young Toshiaki planned ahead and managed to make young Todorki put his guard down until he didn't even notice Ojiro sneaking behind him. They used Sign language to communicate with each other so the enemy wouldn't understand them. Heroes have to be strong but also intelligent enough to make plans on the fly."
The class was shocked. For such a plan to be made within seconds really highlighted the meaning of strategy.
The rest of the fight finished quick. Toshiaki and Ojiro easily overpowered Shoji and managed to capture him.
All the members of the battle left and re-entered the class.
"Well done on your win Toshiaki. No one thought you'd be able to beat Todoroki." Tokoyami said.
"That hurts me." Was the blunt reply.
"Every word you speak always has sarcasm laced into it," Jirou complained.
The class did a review for the battle and then the battles continued as usual.
------------------
"Man, that was so much fun," Kirishima said.
"Yeah, I can't believe we got to fight each other. This is why U.A is the best of the best."
The student were discussing about the lesson and how it went.
"Yasuhiro wake up! Don't you find it disrespectful to be sleeping in this great institution? Tokoyami get off that chair. Our upperclassmen worked on that table and I will not let you sit on it." Iida shouted while waving his hands up and down.
"You're too loud."
"It's not much of a big deal is it?"
"What's up with those hands?" Ojiro asked.
"You're not my mom you know? Also, I wasn't sleeping I was just resting my head. They're two completely different things." I said. I wasn't actually sleeping.
"Hey, I know this ramen place not too far from here do you guys wanna go?" Ojiro invited with his usual nervous voice.
The group agreed and all left the school together.
