Versus Gang Orca (II)

During the battle, Todoroki noticed the situation and frowned. "As expected of Gang Orca. If that move hadn't been blocked, the ice wall might have been broken directly." He turned to Iida and said, "I'll go support Renault over there."

"Go ahead, Todoroki-kun. We're fine here," replied Iida, deftly dodging the villain's attacks and kicking them away one by one.

Todoroki slid along the ice and arrived behind Gang Orca, who was fighting Renault. He then launched an ice pillar that spread out from under his feet and charged toward Gang Orca.

"Another attack from behind?" Gang Orca dodged Renault's attack with a side-step, then punched his arm, sending him flying backward. He then released a sonic wave toward the ice pillar that was about to hit his face.

*ROAR!!!*

The ice pillar shattered under the deafening sound wave, but Todoroki did not stop his attack. He continued to launch his relentless assault.

"With just this level of attack, you want to defeat me?" taunted Gang Orca.

"Of course not. I'm just here to assist," replied Todoroki calmly.

"You can't lose focus, Gang Orca," added Renault, who was now flanking him.

With Renault and Todoroki attacking from both sides, Gang Orca was momentarily caught off guard and then released another sound wave.

Renault, propelled by the strong sound wave, kicked Gang Orca's sidekicks nearby and then continued to advance at Gang Orca. But just then, a lengthy and violent tornado suddenly swept in from behind Todoroki, shattering all of his ice pillars and simultaneously withstanding Gang Orca's sonic wave.

"Damn it!" cursed Renault as he stopped in his tracks and looked up.

"Wow, a villain's intervention in a battle like this really gets my blood pumping!" exclaimed Yoarashi, who appeared floating in the air wearing military attire and a cloak. He was clearly excited and pumped up.

In the next moment, he made eye contact with Todoroki on the ground.

Without hesitation, the two of them launched an attack on Gang Orca.

Todoroki swung a pillar of fire from his left hand, and the rolling heat wave attacked Gang Orca, while Yoarashi in the air did the same, following closely with a strong gust of wind accompanied by a sharp cutting sound.

Just as Gang Orca was on high alert, the two attacks collided. The flames were instantly blown away by the strong wind, and the wind, in turn, floated upwards due to the temperature of the flames, losing its power.

Seeing this, Yoarashi shouted, "Why did you use flame! The heat will make my wind float!"

"He defended against my ice earlier, so I used flame! Also, didn't you launch the attack behind me? My flame was also swept away by your wind!"

"You just didn't want me to steal the credit, right!"

"Who would do such a thing!"

For a moment, the battle ceased, and even Gang Orca put down his hands. His sidekicks also looked at the two quarreling people in a daze.

And not far from Gang Orca, Renault hadn't made a move for a long time, watching these two people.

He also figured out that Yoarashi must have had some past with Todoroki, which made him dislike Todoroki a lot.

However, Renault didn't want to know anything about these things. He only knew that Todoroki was going to get his points deducted.

"It's really disappointing that you're not calm at this moment." Shaking his head, Renault didn't hesitate and appeared directly in front of Todoroki. He punched him in the face and grabbed his clothes, then flashed in mid-air and punched Yoarashi in the face as well, even knocking his hat off.

Grabbing the collars of the two, he flung them out without any mercy, directly throwing them out of the ice-encirclement circle made by Todoroki.

"You both go away. This battle doesn't need you anymore."

In mid-air, Todoroki, who was thrown out, was punched by Renault and he realized what had happened when he met Renault's gaze.

Due to Yoarashi's attitude, the things he said earlier, and the collision just now, Todoroki, who usually acts calmly, lost his temper for once.

After sliding down to the ground using ice, Todoroki calmly rubbed his face with both hands.

Similarly, Yoarashi also landed, but compared to Todoroki, his behavior was more violent.

"Why? How dare you hit me! U.A.'s Renault?! I never expected him to do this!"

Looking at Yoarashi, Todoroki, who had calmed down, said, "He did nothing wrong. We had a conflict in front of the villains earlier. Do you know what that means?"

"..."

Yoarashi wasn't stupid. After being told by Todoroki, he immediately understood and stopped speaking.

Todoroki looked at him and said after some thought, "You said I was taking credit from the beginning. Please explain what you meant."

"Ahh, obviously it's because you're Endeavor's son!"

"My dad has nothing to do with this."

"Nothing? Do you really think there's nothing? Then let me explain it to you!"

Ignoring Todoroki and Yoarashi for now, Renault returned to Gang Orca after throwing the two people out.

"Sorry, you had to witness that."

"It was quite shocking indeed, but you were decisive, haha..." Gang Orca laughed lightly and lifted his hand. His sidekicks behind him also began to fight again, but this time, they started using their weapons.

Rings of gray cement shot toward the examinee inside the arena, but those who dodged them saw the cement immediately solidify upon contact with the ground.

"Watch out for the Cement Gun. Once it solidifies, it'll make it hard to move. Don't get hit by it," warned a voice.

"This kind of trick won't work on us," Renault charged forward again, showing off his 'speed' in addition to his previous brute force.

*Whoosh!*

Gang Orca suddenly found his opponent disappeared from his line of sight. His danger instinct made him swing his right arm without hesitation, smashing it behind him.

His prediction was correct - he saw Renault appear behind him. But then...

"He disappeared again?"

Seeing his arm pass through his opponent's body, Gang Orca realized he had only hit an afterimage.

How could this be? How could his opponent be so fast?

*BANG!*

The next second, a heavy punch landed on Gang Orca's abdomen, causing even him with his super-strong defense to feel a painful twisting in his stomach.

*Cough!*

"...Kid, you're quite something!" Bent over and grinning with a terrifying expression, Gang Orca said, "Round two, begin!"

With a snap, Gang Orca grabbed Renault's arm and unleashed a close-range sonic wave. But this time, he used all his power.

*ROAR!!!!!*

The sound wave spread throughout the entire arena, instantly causing everything around them to collapse. Everyone nearby, friend or foe, was blown away.

Midoriya, who had just completed a retreat mission and rushed over to help, was blocked by a sudden onslaught of flying ice blocks.

"What's going on here?"
