Chapter nine: one on one chaos

The sudden words of placement shocked them. First, second, and third? Where were Bakugo and Todoroki?

Midoriya ran back into the gate to see what was going on. Then seeing Bakugo yelling at Todoroki as they came threw, fourth and fifth.

" Fucking Icey-hot! I lost because of you!" Bakugo blamed as he gave him a death glare. Todoroki gave one of his own and said, " Actually, you're the one that caused me to lose first place."

He had gotten angrier, but Todoroki ignored him. " Congratulations on getting first place Midoriya-san."

Scratching his neck, he answered, " T-thanks Todoroki-san. B-but, I'm not sure how we did it. "

" We?" Todoroki asked, knowing he only said Midoriya.

He got the message and replied, " I was racing with Ashido and Kirishima, so we just helped each other. And surprisingly we made first, second, and third."

Todoroki nodded, then seeing Kirishima and Ashido talking to each other. " Understandable. You'll get farther with others than yourself. Now then, good luck in the next part, I won't be letting you win again."

' He's getting serious about this now? After almost destroying the whole competition?' Midoriya pondering, walking one the area they had been in just before the race.

Midnight was up there once more. After all the students that had passed went there too, she began with the next.

(I decided to skip the cavalry.)

There were only sixteen left after the event. Izuku's team barely passed after a hidden grab of the headband.

Now came a one versus one event. What they rolled was an all-out quirk battle. Meaning, everything's fair as long as you don't step out of the arena.

The first match was between Midoriya and Hitoshi. Not knowing what his quirk was, It'd be a hard match.

The door to the waiting room opened. Thinking it must be Ashido and Kirishima; he got up and walked to the door to greet them.

Wrong he was, Ash-Blond hair poked out, revealing Bakugo.

" A-ah, Katchan. W-What brings you here?"

" None of your damn business."

" Okay..."

Midoriya sat back down and tried to ignore his presence. However, attention is brought when he slammed the desk.

" Listen here. You better not lose against that General studies kid! " He warned, glaring at him deeply.

" I-I don't plan I-It." Izuku told.

" Good." He said, turning around to the door. " show me you belong here, Deku."

" All right audience! For our first matchup, General studies but plans on getting to hero Ed, It's Hitoshi Shinso!

" And for his opponent, A kid from the Hero Ed, and with excellent teamwork with another we'll see in the future, It's Midoriya Izuku! And without a moments' hesitation, let's get started!"

Neither of the two moved, waiting for the other to move. Then, a vocal move came from Hitoshi " So, you have great teamwork with someone. Top ranks in the entrance exam, am I right?"

Something inside of Midoriya told him to not talk, especially since it's a battle.

Hitoshi gets slowly more inpatient, " Your partner, That freakish alien girl was it?"

'What is he getting at? Trying to make me angry?"

Midoriya thought. He made an advance to Hitoshi. " I'm sure she couldn't be any more helpful than a simple bait tool."

' Who does he think he is? Shit talking about my friend? After our little training week, she'd gotten more control over her quirk. More than just a bait tool'

" Oh, so I was right? And that makes me wonder if she's your friend then, Are you just using her?" He asked, stepping back.

Now full fiery, Midoriya charged at him. Hitoshi grew furious as well." come on you ungrateful brat! Talk already!"

Now knowing his goal, he made his attack. Also keeping in mind that if he wins, future opponents may plan against him, he went for a physical attack.

He lowered his head and head-butted Hitoshi, sticking them his shirt and lifting his head. Hitoshi laid on his head, struggling to get off.

Midoriya walked to the edge of the arena and dropped him out. PresentMic screamed the winner of the so boring match.

" I'm sorry you couldn't get into Hero Ed Hitoshi. I'm assuming your quirk has to do with speech." Midoriya inferred.

" Yeah, it does. What's your point?" Hitoshi asked, getting up.

" The way you're using it is very inefficient. Bt I'm sure once you find the fastest way to use it, you'll be a great hero."

Hitoshi blinked at him, " Thanks, I guess."

" That was amazing Midoriya-kun! Even though you didn't use your quirk, it was still amazing!" Ashido said with glee.

Midoriya scratched his cheek, " Thanks Ashido-san.".

" That's Hitoshi guy was kinda rude. Calling me useless and all. But I didn't let it get to me, and I'm sure you didn't either." Ashido told, clenching her fist.

" Yeah totally."

The next matches went. With multiple different takes, Sero being dominated by Todoroki after a large ice attack. Kaminari didn't stand a chance against Shiozaki. Iida was tricked by Hatsume but she stepped out because of business reasons. Ashido used her quick reflexes to outmaneuver Aoyama. Tokoyami's Darkshadow held range against Yaoyorozu. Kirishima and Tetsutetsu had similar quirks so it was a long battle. The fight against Bakugo verse Uraraka was morally controlled by Bakugo. And yet, Uraraka came back with a large attack. Sadly, it was countered by a huge explosion.

And now, we are back with Midoriya. His fight was against Todoroki Shoto.

As walked into the light, blinding him, he saw the stage once more. The crowd roared with excitement, ready for a cold, yet, hot battle.

" Okay! Who's ready for a ferocious fight between two fire and second part quirks?! " presentation Michael asked, getting hyped. The crowd gave the same enthusiasm as him.

" Alrighty then! Let's get started, with our contestants, We have the number two's son, Todoroki Shoto!!

" and on the other side, we have the dragon looking, but telekinetic, Midoriya Izuku!!"

The two stared down at each other, Todoroki stomped his foot, ready for attack.

" BEGIN" PM shouted.

Ice sprouted from his leg charged forth to Midoriya. With a shuffle, he dodged the ice. But he knew that only dodging would create a trap.

He stood still and took a breath. His horns changed into a red color, and a big flame shot out. It melted the ice in no time.

Another ice wall shot at him, and he did the same. The back and forth started. Todoroki sucked his teeth as he demanded, " Why won't you quit! You're gonna reach your limit!"

" So are you! Don't be oblivious to yourself!" Midoriya snapped back.

' But he is not wrong. My throat is starting to get sore. But I've got an idea, just gotta get creative!'

As he melted the next ice, he keeps going, letting the most out. Then grabbing with his telekinesis, he made it block incoming ice from a front.

He saw tiny spikes of ice before they melted away. " Woah! Midoriya made a wall of fire and it's stopping Todoroki's attacks! What a brilliant idea!"

" Get ready Todoroki-san! I'm pushing forward!" Midoriya shouted.

The wall of flames pushed forward while Midoriya came toward Todoroki.

Shoto's face grew frightened, he tried throwing out stronger ice attacks. They did get through the wall, but it disconnected from the main source before it reached Midoriya.

Soon enough, Todoroki had been pushed to the brim. A bigger flame lit off from beyond the wall.

The wall was pushed back at a point to Midoriya. It barely touches him, but he caught on to it, making the wall more powerful.

" Todoroki...are you using your fire?!"

He had not been answered, but an announcement. " Todoroki Shoto is out of the arena. Midoriya Izuku wins!"
