Endeavor...

A/N: Mikoto and Todoroki fight... Mikoto learns a shocking secret about him and Shouto from his mother. What is the Yuki-Onna keeping from him?

Mikoto: E-Endeavor?!

Enji Todoroki, the man who calls himself Shouto's father stood right in front of Mikoto. The boy felt very nervous as Endeavor stared him down with a malicious glare.

Endeavor: Move.

Mikoto: Eh?

Endeavor: Move out of my way.

Mikoto: O-Oh...Sorry!

Mikoto was about to take off when the fiery man said something.

Endeavor: So your her son... Pathetic...My Shouto will have no problem beating you. Just another step closer to achieving his goal.

Mikoto:....(Excuse me?)

At first, Mikoto was scared of the man. But now...He can't help but feel like he wants to freeze the cruel arrogant where he stands.

Endeavor: Do try to make yourself look like a worthy opponent while your at it.

Mikoto's kind nature was leaving... the storm was hitting...

Mikoto: (This bastard right here. Who does he think he is?!)

Endeavor: It makes me wonder though. How could the Yuki-Onna have such a weak son? You definitely don't have to strength to qualifying your own goal. In other words, your just in my son's way. You're not even worth anyone's time...

Mikoto: (So he's telling me I don't have the chance to be hero! Oh that's it! Let me at him!)

Mikoto: Hey-!

???: I would appreciate if you didn't talk to my son like that, Endeavor.

Before Mikoto could finish. He saw his mother walking down the aisle towards them with an look that Mikoto hadn't saw on her face for a while. You could see her quirk was activated as some parts of the hallway were frozen as the killer intent around her could anyone feel shudder at her appearance.

Yep Mikoto knew that look...She was mad.

Endeavor: Hmph. I didn't ask for your opinion, Fumiko Yukimura.

Fumiko: Well he didn't ask for yours. Now, if your done with your criticism. You can leave.

Endeavor rolls his eyes at the shorter hero and was about to take his leave...but stops and looks at Mikoto.

Endeavor: My masterpiece will beat you and everyone here. You're at a disadvantage. If you have any sense of dignity in yourself. It's best you just drop out. Now.

Mikoto: (Masterpiece...?)

Endeavor then looks at Fumiko.

Endeavor: You should discipline your child more.

The dangerous glint lit up in the woman's eyes.

Fumiko: Do not tell me how to raise my children. And BTW, that's rich coming from you.

Endeavor: *Growls* What are you implying?

Fumiko: Just Leave. Now. I won't ask you again.

Endeavor: *Sneers*

Fumiko glared murderously at the man's retreating form.

Mikoto: *Sassy*.....Asshole! :D

Fumiko: (I hate him so much...My son had the right to be here as much as everyone else does.)

Mikoto: ...Mom?

Fumiko stops glaring as her face turns back to a small gentle face as she puts her attention on her son.

Fumiko: Did he hurt you anywhere...?

Mikoto: N-No Mom...He didn't...just some harsh words...That's all...

Fumiko: I see...I should have came here sooner...

Mikoto: Mom...?

Fumiko: Yes my winter child?

Mikoto:....Do you...have a history with Endeavor...? The reason why I'm asking is because you two seem to know each other very well...

Fumiko looks down with sadness in her eyes. Mikoto caught an glimpse of it before it vanished.

Fumiko: I'll tell you later. Right now, you should go now. Your battle is about to start.

Mikoto: Oh right! Okay! See you later, Mom!

Fumiko wave a little as her son took off. The familiar look of sadness returned in her eyes.

Fumiko: Good luck....

-Meanwhile-

Shouto was walking to the tunnel but before he could get to the ring...He ends up running into his father....

The man he did not want to see...

Shouto: What do you want?

Endeavor: You're acting rebellious once again. You refused to use your left side during the first and second event. Don't forget you have a duty to surpess All-Might.

Shouto: Out of my way.

Endeavor: You disgrace me Shouto!

Shouto: If you feel that way, then I must be doing something right.

Endeavor: Stop with these childish tantrums! You are different from your siblings! ...You Are My Greatest Masterpiece!

Shouto's expression turns dark as he leaves the hallways through the tunnel.

Shouto: (I will win this tournament without the pleasure of letting you see me using my left side...)

-Plus Ultra-

Present Mic: HERE WE ARE AGAIN FOLKS! TIME FOR THE NEXT BATTLE!

Mikoto and Shouto both made it to the ring.

Mikoto looked very serious about this. While Shouto still had an dark expression on his face. Mikoto glanced at him but retorted back when he noticed the glare Shouto gave him.

Mikoto: (Sheesh...Who pissed in his cereal...?)

Present Mic: STARTING ON ONE END! HE'S THE BRIGHTEST STUDENT IN CLASS 1-C! HE'S NOT JUST THE CLASS REPRESENTATIVE BUT HE'S ALSO THE SON OF THE YUKI-ONNA HERSELF! YUKIMURA MIKOTO!!!!!!

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Mikoto: *Groans* (I wish he didn't say that...Seriously. Why bring up my Mom? Now everyone knows...)

Mikoto noticed his classmates were cheering for him. That's when he saw Izuku giving him thumbs up from his side of the stadium.

Deku: (You can do it Miichan!)

Mikoto: I can do this...I can't let him beat me...

Present Mic: AND AT THE OTHER END! FROM THE CLASS 1-A! HE'S THE SON OF THE NUMBER TWO PRO-HERO: ENDEAVOR! THE POWERHOUSE HIMSELF! TODOROKI SHOUTO!!!

Shouto:.......

Mikoto: (Is it me or did his expression get darker...?)

Midnight: NOW! BEGIN!

Mikoto: (Here goes nothing!)

The first blast of ice comes so fast as Mikoto just barely able to evaporate it, stumbling back from the sheer force of Shouto's attack.

Present Mic: And it looks like Todoroki is wasting no time! Mikoto was able to break the attack, but how long can he keep it up?

Mikoto sends glaciers of snow back at him. However, Shouto dodges and raises his right hand then brings it down again and again, sending flurry after flurry of ice at Mikoto, who stumbles back with every attack.

Mikoto charges with powder snow embedded on his arms before blasting them at the ice-user.

Shouto himself walks forward slowly, feeling the ice biting into his skin with every attack.

Mikoto: (I-Is he alright? I think he's using his ice power too much...He could be at his limit-?!)

Mikoto realized he ended up distracting himself but tried to gain composure to use another snow attack.

But it was too late...

Shouto uses his feet to freeze the ground. The ice attack quickly finds its way to Mikoto, creating a burst that shakes the entire arena.

Everyone: O.O......

Geysis:...Holy Jesus....

Fumiko:.....

Shoto excessively freezes Mikoto inside a giant wave of ice that leaves half the entire festival arena frozen. Shoto breaks free from the prison and looks at Mikoto.

An half-frozen Midnight looks at him with concern.

Midnight: H-Hey Mikoto...C-C-Can you still move?

Mikoto grunted trying to move...

But couldn't...

He was trapped...

Mikoto: N-No....

Midnight cracks her whip.

Midnight: Mikoto is immoblized! Shouto Todoroki moves onto the next round!

Mikoto: (No...)

Mikoto couldn't believe it...He lost...

Shouto moves over to him and defrost the ice.

Mikoto: Don't you think this is a little too much...?

Present Mic: WOW! WHAT POWER! A LITTLE EXCESSIVE THOUGH...

The entire stadium was quiet. They were a unsure how to react to this. Until a familiar called out from the crowd.

Deku: MIICHAN!!!! It's okay! You did your best!

Mikoto gap and looked up at Izuku as much as everyone else did. Until Sylvia joined in with him.

Sylvia: He's right! You did your best!

Haru: D-Don't mind it!

Riku: Even if you did hestitated a little. You gave it your all.

Souta: So don't let it get to you! You did your best!

Class 1-C: YOU DID YOUR BEST!

Mikoto:.....*Tears falls from his eyes* You guys...

Soon enough, everyone in the stadium started clapping, cheering, and shouting: "You did your best!"

Mikoto: :')

Shouto was done defrosting Mikoto from his ice trap with apologetic look mixed with a frown.

Shouto: Sorry about that...

Mikoto: It's okay....

Shouto:....*Walks away*

Mikoto:.........

Geysis: Well that sure was something....

Fumiko: Yeah....*Looks at her son*

Mikoto:.....

Even if the crowd shouts out "You Did Your Best!!!" Or "Don't Mind It, Kid!!!". Why does he still feel at loss here?

-Later-

Mikoto sighs to himself in the waiting room. He drinks some water from the water fountain. As the fresh liquid went down his stomach.

Endeavor: So you're her son? Pathetic. How could the Yuki-Onna have such a weak son?

Mikoto: :(

Endeavor: You're not worth anyone's time...

Mikoto:.......

Endeavor:...It's best you just drop out. Now.

Mikoto:.....*Shakes his head* What am I thinking?!! I shouldn't be letting his words to get to me!

Mikoto felt the tears fall his eyes.

Mikoto: (No! I refuse to show weakness for that flaming headed trash.)

He heard the door open. He quickly wiped his eyes and turned his head to see his mother once again.

Mikoto: Mom...?

Fumiko: I came to check up on you.

Mikoto: Alright....

Fumiko: Are you okay...? I mean...with what happened between you and Todoroki?

Mikoto:....Somewhat. But I'm okay!

Fumiko: Mikoto...even if you say that...I can tell you look depressed.

Call it a mother's initiation if you must. His mother saw through him. He can never hide anything from her like he can with his Dad. He sighs bitterly as he looks at her before speaking. No cheerful attitude in his voice. It was condensed like white vapor in the cold air.

Mikoto: I mean...I am a little disappointed that I lost. But... There's always next year... Although I just can't help but feel off about this.

Fumiko:....What do you mean...?

Mikoto: I'm talking about Shouto, Mom. Despite the whole situation with his dad. There's just something about him that raises eyebrows....

Fumiko: Like....?

Mikoto: He's really strange...But not in a bad way...The way he looks at me... It's like I known him from somewhere...But I just don't know...
Our quirks are almost similar...That's not all that puts me off. The thing between us... it's like we have an connection or something...

Fumiko:.......

Fumiko went quiet digesting all what her son had said before taking a deep breath.

It was time.

It was best that he learns the truth sooner or later.

Fumiko: I think I get what you're talking about.

Mikoto: Mom...?

Fumiko: I mean...the connection you two share. It's real...

Mikoto:....How do you know that...?

Fumiko: Mikoto... There's something me and father had should've told you a long time ago. But the reason why we kept it from you is because we were scared you were going to be hurt knowing the consequences. You probably don't remember any of this because this occurred during your childhood...

Mikoto's eyes sparked up in awe before nodding. He then gestured for his Mom to continue.

Fumiko: When I was younger...I had a older sister...She was everything to me...She was my best friend.

Mikoto: Eh?

Fumiko: But...Along the lines as I was growing up...I lost her...

Mikoto:....H-How?

Fumiko:.......From a quick marriage. She was brought from our family into another.

Mikoto: EEEEEEH?! (Quirk Marriage?! Wait a minute....)

Fumiko: She was taken from me and I spent years trying to get her back. But the damage was already done
....Thanks to him...that man...

Enji Todoroki...

Mikoto: N-No way...So you're telling me...?

Fumiko: My sister, Todoroki Rei, is the mother of Shouto Todoroki which means...that boy is your cousin, Mikoto...

Mikoto: (°__°)?!!!!!!
