Phew, so finally made it to the last chapter of the Sports Festival.

***Please Read This Before Reading The Chapter***

Before anything, I just wanted to say sorry about the Primary Lotus in the last chapter. I mixed it up with the Shadow Of The Dancing Leaf for some reason, I'll fixed it right now and thank you for understanding. Secondly, some people asked questions about Shoto's ice ability, so let me say. It's not a Quirk Awakening, it's something else as he is an irregular and you guys will understand a few things starting from this chapter. For the ice mirror though, it's different from the one Haku uses. Thank you for your constant support and enjoy the chapter.

"UNBELIEVABLE! DESPITE BEING UNCONSCIOUS, MASHIRAO OJIRO IS STILL STANDING TALL! HE'S FIGHTING UNTIL THE END! SUCH DETERMINATION! SUCH RESOLVE! HE'S TRULY THE DEFINITION OF WILL POWER! THIS MOMENT WILL DEFINITELY NEVER BE LOST IN TIME AS IT WILL BE REMEMBERED THROUGH THE AGES!" Present Mic cried out and everyone just kept cheering for Ojiro. The sight which managed to capture everyone's attention was definitely not what you would expect. Who would've imagined that the vanquisher would be lying on the ground, while the vanquished is the one who's still standing? Honestly, no one did.

A few moments later, the robots came with the stretcher and carried Ojiro to Recovery Girl's office. One the other hand, Shoto couldn't help but stare at Ojiro in awe. He was pretty sure that he would never forget this battle as long as he lived. After snapping out of his shock, he used his left side to get rid of the frostbites that covered his body, something he didn't like to do, but had to admit that it made him already feel much better than before. At least, now he can finally stand up and walk properly. Despite this, he knew that he still had to go see Recovery Girl so that she could treat his injuries.

However, on the way to her office, he was met by none other than his father, Endeavor. Shoto wasn't in the mood right now to deal with his father. The pain caused by his injuries was already irritating enough. He decided to calmly walk past his father without even looking at the older man.

"Congratulations on winning your match. You did great out there and your control over your ice has exceeded anything I've ever seen." Endeavor said without his usually angry tone. The bi color teen couldn't help but stop in his tracks. He had to admit that many things were shocking him today, but still, he couldn't believe that his father would suddenly start acting so nicely. Was he trying a different approach to make him use his fire?

"Is this your idea of a joke?" Shoto asked with a tone suggesting that he wasn't in the mood for jokes.

"No, this is me being serious. I was proud while I was watching your match back there and I wish you the best of luck in the finals." Endeavor exclaimed, trying his best to prove that there was no ulterior motive behind the sudden change in his behavior.

Shoto raised an eyebrow, clearly confused by this. His father who always scolded him about no using his fire side until a couple of hours ago, was suddenly happy that he won using his ice, even though his performance wasn't all that good and could've lost the match. He wanted to ask him why? Why this sudden change all of a sudden? He clenched his fists in anger and gritted his teeth.

I guess he really does hate me, and I don't think I could blame him for that. Heck, I don't expect him to forgive me. However, I need to fix my mistakes, to somehow redeem myself. Endeavor thought as he stared at his son, clearly seeing that his son was more than angry at him. "Tell me, how did you create these ice clones and mirrors?" Endeavor asked, trying to change the subject.
