Multiversal Snippets

[1V1 - Izuku Midoriya VS Shoto Todoroki]

The state he was in wasn't so brutal, though it's still enough to make anyone recoil. He had blood dripping from the cuts and open wounds, and his ripped shirt could no longer cover the many bruises that littered his body.

"'Objectively stronger than me'?" Izuku questioned his KO'd opponent's words from when Shoto dragged him off to a secluded spot after the Cavalry Battle. "This pathetic excuse of a 'battle' proved you wrong."

Midnight went over to check on the Hero Course student, with Izuku moving out of the way as she did.

When she saw Shoto's chest heaving slowly, she sighed in relief, before standing up to announce her verdict. "Shoto Todoroki is unconscious! Izuku Midoriya wins!"

"WHAT A BATTLE! IT'S NOT EVERYDAY YOU GET TO WITNESS A HERO STUDENT GETTING TROUNCED BY A GENERAL STUDIES KID! YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!" Present Mic screamed out, not even bothering to hide his pride for one of his students. At that, the crowd slowly started clapping, until seconds later they became hysterical. The students in the General Course all stood up and clapped for their coursemate, except for Rui, who looked worried as he stared at Izuku who was silent.

"It was to be expected; Midoriya went all out while Todoroki stubbornly held himself back, even knowing that using both fire AND ice would more than ensure his victory. No reason to believe Todoroki would come out on top," Eraserhead said with a look of appraisal as he looked at the green-haired boy in the arena.

"WELL, WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A HALF-HOUR BREAK TO FIX UP THE ARENA BEFORE GETTING TO THE NEXT MATCH. FEEL FREE TO GET SOME FOOD FROM LUNCH RUSH'S TEMPORARY FOOD COURT OUTSIDE THE STADIUM!" Present Mic announced, prompting Endeavor and his family to rush to the infirmary.

As many people left to get food, Midnight brought a hand to an earpiece. "Zashi, order some Medibots over here, Todoroki really needs some medical attention," she said to her coworker/friend.

"I'll come along," Midnight turned her attention to Izuku, who looked at her blankly as he continued, "I can heal him after Recovery Girl's done with him."

Midnight quirked her lips in a small smile, before nodding her head as she saw some medical robots rolling up to the downed Hero student, stretcher and medkits in their mechanical hands.

Once the robots applied first-aid on Todoroki they laid him down on the stretcher, Izuku followed them as they went along to Recovery Girl's temporary office.

While Izuku walked behind the medical robots, the boys of Class 1A talked about the fight.

"Man, Midoriya's crazy strong, huh?" Kaminari said, running a hand through his hair as he smiled wobbily.

"Yeah! So manly! Hope I get to spar with him when he gets into the Hero Course!" Eijiro said, pumping his Hardened fist into the air as Rikido and Mashirao agreed. Katsuki silently stewed in his anger beside the redhead.

"Still, why didn't he just enroll into the Hero Course from the get-go?" Mina wondered aloud, prompting her friends (sans Katsuki) to start making theories.

"It is as Mr. Aizawa said. It might've had something to do with Midoriya's Quirk Manifestion requirement," Tenya mused, putting his chin in the crook of his thumb and index finger.

As her classmates talked about the match, Ochako worriedly looked at the match's victor who followed behind the medical robots carrying her classmate.

'What happened to you, Icchan?'

=================================================

As Izuku entered Recovery Girl's temporary infirmary, the old Heroine tried to force him out as the medical robots gently laid Shoto on a spare medical bed. Izuku said nothing, before the Todoroki family entered.
