Multiversal Snippets

[1V1 - Izuku Midoriya VS Shoto Todoroki]

"You're not gonna take this tournament as serious as you should?" Izuku asked Shoto, an indifferent tone in his voice as he continued, "Fine. Lose for me." He summoned two waves of fire by slicing his arms diagonally, making the scarred boy use his fire in a panic. Fortunately for Shoto, his fire merely absorbed Izuku's.

Eraserhead narrowed his eyes in thought when he saw it, 'I thought I told you not to hold back, Todoroki...'

Izuku blinked, then furrowed his eyebrows in anger. "'Half-cold, Half-hot'... You could use fire the whole fucking time?" He growled.

Shoto had a look of anger as he snuffed out his flames. "I will never use it!" He yelled.

"You will." Izuku retorted, raising his arm to shoot a fiery beam towards his opponent, who narrowly dodged the attack. "Come on; use it," He said as he raised his other arm this time, sending out fireball after fireball towards Shoto. "Use it!" Izuku raised his voice as the scarred boy erected an ice wall, which only melted when it made contact with the fire.

"Use it!" Izuku kept urging as he forced Shoto to dodge his fiery attacks again as he slid around the arena on his ice making his own counterattacks; all of which were evaded by Izuku.

"Fucking use it, you arrogant little shit!" Izuku yelled to his opponent, whose eyes widened at the usage of the word "arrogant". 'How dare he!? My worthless excuse of a father doesn't hide the fact that he's an overpowered clout-whore, but somehow I'M arrogant!?' He thought as he lashed out in fury.

Meanwhile, in the Hero Course section of the stands, Katsuki bristled as his eyes widened. As far as he knew Izuku never swore, even when he treated the green-haired boy like trash.

"For fuck's sake!" Izuku yelled, as he flame-dashed towards Shoto and then dashing away after hitting him. He kept employing this attack as he continued trying to get through to Shoto, "Everyone here's giving their all! To win! To achieve their goals! Make it to the top!"

Over at the stands, the students of Class 1A watched worriedly, with Kyouka relaying some of Izuku's words. Even Katsuki had a look of contemplation as Izuku continued, "And you really believe you'd win this when you're only half-assing your way to victory!?"

In another universe, the fiery Endeavor would watch with a scowl, furious that his son refused to use his Quirk.

That did not happen here in this universe.

As Endeavor watched on, he thought back to when he confronted his son's opponent before the match. How the boy did not even look slightly fearful of him as he went on a tangent about how he will be a valuable test to his son. How he did not so much as flinch when Endeavor brought a flame-covered fist right to his freckled face before the boy just walked away in silence.

"You haven't even put a scratch on me yet! Are you trying to lose, Todoroki!?" The fiery Pro Hero snapped out of his musings when Izuku asked his opponent, who only growled back as he sent out another wave of ice. "Fine, have it your way!" Izuku yelled out.

At that, Shoto sent out another wave of ice. However, Izuku dashed off in a plume of fire which then dissipated into smoke, dodging the ice before he reappeared in a flash of fire and smoke right in front of his opponent.

'Damn!' Shoto thought as he moved to trap Izuku. However, the green-haired boy moved behind him, then started punching him as fast as a JoJo stand. After a few seconds of punching, Izuku ducked down to sweep his opponent.

As Shoto fell to the concrete, Izuku jumped, preparing his right fist as he did. Landing on top of him, Izuku punched Shoto hard, knocking him out. The crowd went silent as the ground beneath Shoto's head created an impact.
