Multiversal Snippets

[1V1 - Izuku Midoriya VS Shoto Todoroki]

"You got a black belt in stupidity if you think you could half-ass your way to the top," taunted Izuku.

"You're only delaying the inevitable," Shoto snarled as he stomped his right foot, sending spikes of ice once again towards Izuku who only exploded into a fiery vortex until the fire swirled to reform Izuku and made him float.

"Fine," Izuku replied, "don't get mad when you lose." At that, he separated his hands as he raised them, both of which were glowing.

'Radiant Sweep!' Izuku thought as he shot out beams of fire from his hands, all of which were heading towards Shoto who summoned an ice wall to shield himself. Unfortunately, Izuku's blasts chipped away slowly at the ice, and when the ice finally gave in, Izuku shot his last fireball which, instead of blasting his opponent away, just spread itself around his opponent's body, rendering him unable to move.

"WHOA! OFFENSE AND DEFENSE IN ONE ATTACK!? HOW IS THIS GUY NOT IN THE HERO COURSE!?" Present Mic said, making the crowd erupt once again. "He enrolled for General Studies, and for good reason," Eraserhead said in response, as he looked at Izuku's file. "Considering he possessed a very complicated Quirk with a manifestation requirement I'd rather not get into, it's understandable he decided to try to get in the Hero Course via Sports Festival."

Seeing Shoto's current state, Midnight asked him, "Can you move, Todoroki?"

Shoto grit his teeth. "YES, I CAN!" He roared as he summoned his largest glacier to free himself and trap Izuku in the process.

The crowd screamed as they shielded themselves from the cold. Izuku's eyes widened as the ice covered him quicker than he could destroy them.

"WHAT A TURN-AROUND! JUST WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING YOUR STUDENTS, ERASERHEAD!?" Present Mic yelled out, making Eraserhead wince as the crowd cheered yet again.

Midnight raised her whip. "Izuku Midoriya is incapacitated. The winner is-"

*thud*

She stopped. Was there an earthquake?

*thud*

There it was again. This time the crowd was feeling it too.

*thud*

"What...?" Shoto couldn't help but ask. The impacts were becoming more pronounced now.

*thud*

...

Then the impacts were gone, as quickly as they came. Silence reigned the arena once again. But just as Midnight was about to speak again, the ice shattered.

*KRAKOOOOOMMM!!!!*

Fire suddenly erupted from within the ice, breaking it nearly instantly. The ice melted into water as it rained down, with steam covering one half of the arena for a moment. Cementoss had to erect a concrete wall around himself, Midnight and in front of the crowd to protect themselves from the fire and ice shards.

"YO! WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!? CAN'T SEE ANYTHING FROM HERE!" Present Mic yelled, making Eraserhead wince again.

Then the steam dissipated, and Shoto held a look of shock. As did everyone else; except Lucas, who only smirked at the development.

Because in front of him is Izuku Midoriya, with a fiery crown on his forehead blazing almost as bright as the sun. Fire burned from his feet like jet thrusters as he floated off the steaming puddles on the concrete.

"AMAZING! THINGS ARE REALLY HEATING UP NOW!" Present Mic announced, as the crowd had mixed reactions to that. One half of the crowd started cheering as hard as they can; the other half only groaned at the terrible joke).
