Chapter 14

Meanwhile outside, Shouji was using the ears he had created on his tentacles to locate the villain team. "They seem to still be in the weapon room... And they're arguing over something utterly ridiculous. But as things are now, it'll be hard for you to keep track of the invisible one. And who knows what Quirk the guy has."

"This could get hairy." responded Todoroki as he observed the building. 'Shouji can locate Hagakure, but that doesn't mean he'll be able to detect any attacks she makes. The same could be said for me. As for Kumagawa... He's the Wild Card. He has yet to reveal what his Quirk is, which makes him all the more dangerous.'

"What's the plan?" Shouji asked, drawing Todoroki from his musings.

"We are facing a stealth based opponent along with an unknown. The situation is too unfavorable for a drawn out fight. So it would be in our best interest to overwhelm them as soon as possible." Todoroki explained as he touched the ground with his hand. "And this is the best way to do it."

Ice quickly spread across the ground, the point of origin being Todoroki's palm. It quickly raced up the target building and encased every surface with its frigid embrace.

"When you follow me, be sure to hang back in case Kumagawa has some tricks up his sleeve." Todoroki instructed as he entered the building.

The hetero-chromatic teen slowly sauntered his way up the stairs and through the halls until he arrived at the weapon room, where he found Kumagawa and, given the frozen footprints on the floor, Hagakure both frozen in place. "You can take a step if you like. Do be aware, however, that peeling the skin off the sole of your foot doesn't bode well for your ability to fight." the slight arrogant tone in his voice seemed to annoy Hagakure, but Kumagawa showed no overt reaction. He still had that smile on his face.

The rest of the class that was watching on with All Might had already come to the conclusion that the fight was over. All that Todoroki had to do was touch the weapon.

[Are you stupid?] came Kumagawa's voice as Todoroki approached. [I'll have you know that I'm wearing shoes. My feet are far from being frozen to the floor.] he said as he stepped out of his shoes and onto the ice covered floor.

Todoroki gave a slight shrug of the shoulders. He expected the possibility that Kumagawa might not panic and would continue to resist, so he just had to step it up a notch. More ice raced across the floor, this time encasing the bottom of Kumagawa's feet.

"Now, you were saying?" Todoroki asked with a smirk.

[Ah, I see.] Kumagawa nodded in thought. [This time you did freeze my feet so I can't move without sustaining an injury. As expected of one of the students who got into U.A. on a recommendation.]

Todoroki continued to walk forward and towards the weapon behind Kumagawa.

[But it's too bad that such a thing won't work on someone like me.] Kumagawa said with a slight sneer as Todoroki neared.
