After a while, Shiozaki ended up being the victor, by forcing Ashido our of bounds, as it was Kirishima and Bakugo's match.
"Hey... I noticed that you've been kinda down after your battle against Tokoyami. Is there something wrong?" Uraraka ask, she was already here when Midoriya got back from Recovery Girl's office.
"Oh, it's... because I'm up against Todoroki." Midoriya look at Todoroki's direction, surprisingly, he was staring at Midoriya the entire time with his dull eyes.
'Why is he staring at him for?'
"I see... But, there must be a limit how much he could use the ice on his right side. Like, if you keep kept dodging the ice, then I think he would have frost on his right side. I saw it when he used that giant ice wall on Sero." Yaoyorozu said, which nodded and look straight into Todoroki eyes.
'All I need to do is keep on 20% to dodge the ice he fired.' Midoriya thought.
After a while, Midoriya was at the waiting room, relaxing his nerves, as no one but him was there. 'Hold on... Maybe I should try out 30%.' Midoriya thought, before he activate Full Cowl at 30%, as nothing happened.
'Wait, what? Nana said that I can only keep up at 20%. So what the heck—?' His thought was cut off when Nana suddenly burst open the door.
"Izuku!"
"Nana?! What happened?!" Midoriya shouted in surprise, nearly had a heart attack as he was gripping his chest, heart's pounding fast.
"Sorry for the sudden outburst, but I completely forgot to tell you something." She said, and close the door, before she and Midoriya sat down on the chair.
"As I was saying, you used your power at 30%, right?"
"I activate Full Cowl at 30%, but, I didn't feel my bones rattling. So, what is going on?"
"Well, my mind kinda slipped up because you can use One For All at 50%, but if you do it at 55%, then you should felt your bones rattling." Nana explained, which Midoriya shoot her a deadpan look.
"Are you kidding me?" She giggle and ruffled his hair.
"My bad. Anyway, you should get going. Your match is starting in one minute." She said, which they both got up and left the room.
As they are walking down the hallway, a red and orange flame were in front of their view, as they realized.
"E-Endeavor?!" Midoriya shouted, which Endeavor look at him.
"Oh, there you are." Endeavor said.
"Endeavor... What are you doing here...?" Midoriya said nervously as Endeavor approach him which he backed away, and Nana preparing a defensive position around him.
"I watched your fight, twice. You have a very wonderful Quirk. You create so much wind pressure just by flicking your fingers. So, if we're talking about power alone, yours is comparable to All Might's." He said, before glancing at Nana. "That includes you, too. I saw you defeating a villain with just a single soft punch, yesterday." Nana glares at Endeavor, as she wrapped her arms around Midoriya in a protective way.
"Wh-What are you... What are you trying to say to us? A-Anyway, I must go." Midoriya said, as he and Nana walk past him.
"Does he know about One For All...?" Midoriya quietly whisper to Nana, who shook her head.
"No... Toshinori said that he didn't explain One For All to Endeavor..." She replied.
"It is my Shoto's dutu to surpass All Might." Endeavor said, which they stopped. "His match with you will be a very instructive test bed. Please don't disgrace yourself in it."
"Without using my damn old man's Quirk... No... I'll completely reject him by winning first place without using it."
"That was all I wanted to say. I apologize for bothering you right before the match." Endeavor then walk away, not before Midoriya stop him.
"I... am not All Might."
"That's obviou—."
"That's obvious, right?" Midoriya turn around, glaring at Endeavor. "Shoto isn't you, either." He said, and walk away.
"Okay, that went well." Nana said, as they stopped.
"Good luck, kiddo." She said, and she lean down and kiss his forehead, causing him to blush furiously. "Just a good luck charm, it's not like I like you, or nothing, but I just like you as a friend. So save him, Izuku." Nana smile, as Midoriya smile widely and nodded, before he went inside the tournament.
"Thanks for waiting, everybody! The second match of the semifinal round is a big match! The man who won a huge victory in the first and second round literally left the audience frozen. From the hero course, it's Shoto Todoroki! Versus. The man who defeated the invisible Dark Shadow and won. From the hero course, it's Izuku Midoriya!"
"So you're finally here."
"Todoroki."
"Tokoyami, what do you think of this match?" Ilda ask.
"It depends on whether or not Midoriya jumps in close to Todoroki."
"Yeah. What is Deku going to do about that ice?"
"Watch carefully and prepare, Tomura Shigaraki. They may become obstacles to you one day." All For One said on the computer, as Shigaraki just scoffed while scratching his neck.
"Heh, that's a load of crap."
"At this year's sports festival, both have shown top class performance! It's like two great rivals fighting against each other! Now, Midoriya versus Todoroki! Start!"
'Go!'
Immediately, Todoroki send out waves of ice at Midoriya, who charge up Full Cowl at 50%. 'Delaware Smash!' Midoriya flicks all of his fingers, as a powerful shockwaves hit the the ice, stopping it as it shattered into big pieces, and he rush at Todoroki.
Todoroki fired another waves of ice at Midoriya, who disappear into the air, shocking everyone by his fast movement. As Midoriya fired another Delaware Smash at Todoroki, who shield himself with a walls of ice.
'Damn it. It'll be hard if he keeps dodging like that.' Todoroki thought, frustrated, as he fired another waves of ice.
'Detroit Smash!' Midoriya punch the air with a jab, as he fired a powerful wind pressure on the waves of ice, shattering them, before the wind pressure hit Todoroki, as he was nearly out of bounds, but stopped when he made an ice wall behind him to stop.
"Woah, it started?!" Kirishima said, as he appear on Class A group.
"Kirishima, good job making it to the second round before you got defeated by Bakugo. Are you alright?" Sero ask, and Kirishima nodded.
"Yeah, I'm alright, good battle, Bakugo!" Kirishima said, but Bakugo kept a straight face.
"I'm going to kill you next time."
"I'd like to see you try! But man, you and Todoroki can both shoot off powerful attacks that cover a lot of ground. Like "Bam"!"
"And you can do it with no time lag."
"Tsk, I'm not just shooting them off. Don't underestimate 'em." Bakugo said, confusing everyone.
"Huh?"
