The Second Midoriya

Chapter 36: Liar

Right after that match was a short break and then next was the rematch of Kirishima and a boy from class B, Tetsutetsu, since that their previous match couldn't conclude a victor solely because they were quite equal in power, to conclude a victor they are gonna decide it on an arm wrestle.

"This is........ Not as intense as Kawanokuchi and Hosshin's arm wrestling match..." Gensui remarked as the crowd cheers loudly for the equally passion screaming boys.

"Although... right after this its gonna be your brother and Todoroki's match." You sighed when he mentioned that and looked around the Colosseum like stadium, no longer paying attention to the current match anymore.

Not like it was not something you'd usually see on a daily basis...

But the upcoming match didn't settle in with you very well. You felt that it was something that you should be terribly worried about but at the same time excited about.

You couldn't explain this giddy feeling but it was probably cause you didn't talk to your brother at all the entire day and it was somewhat having an effect every time you see him or are about to.

'But I don't want to go back and forth all the time when something happens to him...' You grumbled to yourself scrunching your face visibly in distraught.

'He's being so secretive and I hate that I am always the last person to know things.. Can't he just... Talk to me??'

"ALRIGHT!!!!! Get ready cause the 2nd round is about to begin!" Looking back at the stadium, glancing time to time at the screens, Izuku and Shōto both excited and now stood at a new stadium.

It was now level meters higher that the ground with 4 pits of fire at the corner of the plain to create more depth in the atmosphere.

"I am not ready.." You wheeze out catching the attention of the two beside you.

"Its okay, master. If something were to happen we can just leave, you don't have to stay throughout the entire event." Gensui pat you head comforting your nerves as the two males on the battle field are currently fighting in an intense stare off.

"You can watch the rest on Tv, I already had someone record it right now while we went here."

"Okay.." You sighed calming down, gripping the skirt of you dress while you watch with anticipation as Midnight raise her hand.

"Start!"

In an instant, Shōto sent a line of frozen shards towards your brother charging in great speed almost seeming that Shōto wanted to finish the battle fast.

But just as fast as it came it was smashed into bits by a strong force employed from your brother.

The force sent a gust of wind that made you hold onto your hat with one hand.

Because of this strong power and force that caught your attention very quickly you stared down at the match with wide eyes.

After attempting to attack again, this time the force made by Izuku that would have pushed the bicolor haired male out of bounds if it weren't for the large icicles that anchored him right to the ground.

The gruesome battle only beginning then as the two boys fought with such power and force.

"Woah your brother sure has a pretty destructive quirk.." Tamashī commented watching the battle.

"For it to come late must have been a blessing in disguise for him" Gensui added in, at which Tamashī agreed to.

But you didn't hear nor paid attention to their words as your ears drone out all other sounds while you watch the battle with wide shadowed eyes.

Seeing the blood flow out of Izuku's injured fingers and on to the ground left a bitter, almost vomit like, taste in your mouth.

And it didn't stop when you saw him use his arm which resulted to a red churned and damaged arm similar to his fingers. You almost bit your tongue when you saw him use even his cheek to emit an offense force to block Shōto's ice attack.

At the climax of the fight, fire suddenly bursted out from Shōto, who was just knocked back by a strong punch from Izuku, fueling the crowd's cheers and even enlightened the No. 2 hero, Endeavor.

The fire itself was raw and wild erupting in uncontrollable flames.

Both boys activated their quirks to the fullest and charged at each other. Gensui's gaze harden as he notice how dangerous it was starting to get, which point was confirmed when the heroes, Cementos and Midnight had to intervene.

In a flash Gensui placed a hand on your head holding down your hat whilst he grabbed Tamashī by the arm and just as he did, a very strong gust, stronger than the previous ones, broke out.

The crowd cried out in surprise clinging onto their chairs.

And once the wind died down, you were staring at the monstrosity of the broken field.

When the smoke cleared Shōto stood in the middle of it with almost half of his upper uniform singed away, his breath ragged and even breaking into sweat.

Your brother was slammed against the wall on the opposite end of the field, steam emit from his form and  from afar it was clear that his arms sustained terrible stress that resulted into a gruesome mess, once his limp form landed on the ground the battle was concluded.

"M-Midoriya is out of bounds, Todoroki is the winner!"

The crowd loudly cheered and the people around you excitedly chatter amongst themselves but you were as still as a rock.

"Hey, that was your brother, right?" Someone spoke up from behind.

"Despite losing, I gotta say he still did really well! And he's also got a great quirk, I am sure he will become a great hero!" Despite his intentions being one without intent to hurt, it burned your insides painfully.

"Master, are you okay?—" Gensui tried to ask but before he could finish you abruptly stood up and dashed into the gates of the building.

[--]

"You must find a way for him to use his power in a way that is not so self-destructive." The old healing hero, Recovery Girl scolded the males before her just after Izuku's surgery and healing him.

Izuku looked down with guilt while he listened to the older woman's words but before he or the man next to him could say anything more, a swift knock came to the dustoan'tor earning turned heads.

"Who could that be?" she wondered out loud. "Come in!"

Slowly the door opened and the individual who knocked on it came in, looking over his shoulder Izuku froze with shock quickly identifying the visitor with wide eyes.

"(Y-Y/N)..!/Y-Young Midori..!" Izuku and Toshinori yelped as you stared at them blankly.

"Izuku, you liar..."

==================================
Hey guys! Sorry for not being on and updating for the past few weeks... My school had a two week long event so I didn't had so much time to write since everyone is busy and not only that I am participating in the Inktober challenge, and when school hit off right on the bat and exam came almost immediately after the sports event I was like— (XOX).

But fear not! For I have made it up to you all with this string of new chapters!
