I sat at the seats waiting, anxiously. I wasn't excited, I was scared. The fires at each corner of the arena lit up, signaling a match about to start. The crowd roared with excitement.

"I can FEEL the anticipation in the standium, and that's because the second round's first match is gonna be EPIC! It's the guy who won his last fight by a land slide and literally leaving half the audience frozen. The hero course's Shouto Todoroki!" Shouto walked onto the platform, his face stone cold. He looked serious, this battle definitely meant something to him.

"And this kid almost walked out of his first match up, made a stunning comeback by showing off some impressive moves! Also from the hero course, Izuku Midoriya!" I looked at them, I was so worried, I didn't know what to do. 'They're both so strong, what will happen when their powers are used against each other?'

"So, here we are," Shouto said. "And only one of us can win," Izuku responsed. "You've won once, but no this time," Shouto said angrily. Izuku seemed confused,"What do you mean?"

I furrowed my brows. 'HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PICK WHO TO CHEER FOR! I CAN'T HANDLE ULTIMATUMS!' I sat beside Katsuki, waiting for the match to begin.

"Both of these heroes-in-training have been ahead in the Sports Festival, but which one of these rivals will advance to the next round? Prepare for... Midoriya versus Todoroki!" They both got into their fighting positions. "BEGIN!"

Shouto sent a line of ice towards Izuku which turned into a huge ball of ice. It was meant to turn into a mountain, but Izuku smashed it before the ice could grow any further.

The wind from Izuku and the ice from Shouto sent strong, cold, blasts of air towards the audience. I shivered. 'I can't use my quirk to warm myself up, dang it! I'm cold ;^;'

Large chunks of ice went flying. When Izuku smashed the ice, he broke his finger. "WOW! Modoroya managed to break Todoroki's insane opening move!"

Shouto sent a bunch of ice, that grew in size as it went along, towards Izuku, once again. Izuku smashed the ice, breaking another one of his fingers. I rubbed my arms. 'So cold!'

"He countered again!" Intense cold winds flew about the stadium. Once again, the ice rushing to Izuku was smashed. Izuku broke another one of his fingers.

Kirishama ran to where all of Class 1-A was sitting. "Oh, no, crap! I'm missing it!" Kirishama whined. "Hey, nice job making it to the second round, Kirishama."

"Thanks man! Looks like I take down Bakugou next!" I looked at Katsuki, he looked like he was about to tell him off. "I'll kill you." Kirishama chucked. "Yeah, sure. In your dreams. Now, but seriously. It's crazy how you and Todoroki both have moves that blast the whole stadium. Must be pretty nice."

I poked Katsuki to make him more annoyed. "Yeah, Katsuki, must be pretty nice," I said in a stupid tone that sounded somewhat similar to Mineta's(lol sorry no regrets)voice. I kept poking him. "STOP IT!" he yelled making me chuckle.

"Plus you don't have to pause between attacks," Sero added. "It's not as easy as you think, ya morons. If you overuse your muscles you risk tearing them apart. If you sprint too much, you run out of breath. Quirks are physical abilities, too. They can get worn out. You can't just use them nonstop," Katsuki said.

"It makes sense when you put it that way. I wonder if that's how Midoriya thinks he's gonna beat Todoroki." I frowned. 'They're both strong, but Izuku has little control over his quirk. He's not as strong, yet, but he can sure put up a fight!'

I thought more about what Katsuki said, it was true. Everyone has a limit. I looked back at the match. Izuku had broken all the fingers, besides his thumb, in his right hand.
