Shoto wasted no time and send a huge wave of ice towards Izuku. Izuku was prepared for this and aimed his finger and flicked it, sending a powerful gust of wind that shot the ice back at Shoto as he went flying. Shoto stopped himself from going out of bounds by creating a wall of ice behind him.

"Wow! Midoriya stopped Todoroki's attack!"

Shoto doesn't waste any time as he send another wave of ice only for it to be blown away again by Izuku.

"That idiot. He's already at his limit..." Y/N mumbled in anger.

"It started?!" a panting voice said from behind.

"Ah, Eijiro! Yeah, it did. Congrats on making it to the second round." her eyes lit up in happiness no longer angry.

"Thanks. I'll be up against you next, Bakugo. Let's have a good fight!" 

"I'll kill you." Katsuki replied.

This made Eijiro laugh.

"I'd like to see you try! But man, you, Todoroki, and Y/N can shoot or pounce off powerful attacks that cover a lot of ground. Like 'Bam!' or 'Crash!'"

"And you can do it with no time lag." Hanta said.

"I'm not just shooting them off. Don't underestimate 'em." Katsuki unusually calmly said.

"Huh?"

"Actually, he's right. There are limits in your Quirk. Like mine? Well, it's personal." Y/N agreed.

"Like what Lizard Freak said. If you overuse your muscles, and if you keep running, you'll run out of breath."

"But that would mean that Quirks are physical abilities as well. I had a feeling that Izuku wants an endurance match with Shoto since he STILL can't control his own Quirk yet." Y/N added looking back at the match.

"I guess that makes sense. Man, you're both right. Since when do you know limits, Y/N? You must be very smart thanks to mom."

"I've been having a hard time with my own limit that I can't control yet." she said having some flash about the high pitched gun.

"Huh?"

Izuku blew away another ice attack and all four of his fingers are purple and this gives Shoto the upper hand and ran at him, using his ice to speed himself along.

"Todoroki doesn't recoil from Midoriya's power and gets in close!"

Izuku leapt away from Shoto's hit after blowing away the ice. However, Shoto is smart and launched a wave at Izuku and caught his foot. Izuku had no choice but to use his arm, making your eyes widen.

"He's using his whole arm..?! But there will be no fingers left for him to use! Idiot." she said and turned to Shoto. "But at least Shoto is at his limit. I can see him shake a bit from his right arm mostly. Frost bite.."

"You can tell?" Denki asked.

"I can clearly see based on their movements."

"Ah."

"Todoroki keeps attacking with overwhelming power! Here comes the finishing ice attack!"

Just as the ice was about to hit Izuku, it was suddenly blasted away, surprising the majority of students, even Y/N. Shoto was taken by surprise as he was pushed back towards the boundary line, but he stopped it, creating the ice behind. Izuku then said something that made Shoto angry and ran at him.

"His movements are slow! The frost bite must be getting worst..!" Y/N thought.

When he got close enough, Izuku gave him the punch in the stomach, sending him to fly back but also managed to freeze Izuku's broken arm.

"A solid hit! We've got some action"

This fight went back and forth, dodging and blowing each other's attack. Y/N continued watching the fight between Shoto and Izuku until she heard Izuku's desperate shout.

"It's your power, isn't it?!"

This made both her and Shoto to gasp slightly and the flames emerge from Shoto, then it burst forward in a spiral of heat. Y/N then thought with a smile that he's finally using his full power.

"Shoto!" Endeavor roared gleefully from the audience and walked downstairs closer to the arena. "Have you finally accepted yourself? That's it! Good! It all starts from here for you! With my blood, you will surpass me... You will fulfill my desire!"

Y/N rolled her eyes that it's obviously not the reason he's using fire.

"Endeavor suddenly shouts encouragement...? Such a doting father."

Just then Shoto released his power along with Izuku as they charged up before attacking each other. Cementos and Midnight released their power to stop the fight. Then, there was a huge blast from the stage and there's a strong wind as it blew back towards the audience. Everyone covered themselves from the blow until it stopped. Smoke was everywhere.

"What was that?! What in the world is up with your class, Eraser Head?!"

"The air that had been cooled throughly was suddenly heated up and expanded."

"That's what created this explosion? Just how hot was that?! Jeez, I can't see a thing! Hey, who won the match?"

Midnight got up and gasped to see Izuku by the wall as he wobbled a bit and collapsed as she noticed that he's out of bounds and Shoto is the only one standing with his shirt burned in half.

"M-Midoriya is out of bounds..." she stammered. "Todoroki advances to the third round!"

"Reckless idiot.." Y/N grumbled as Izuku's squad sprinted over to Recovery Girl's office to check on him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the squad came back, it was now Tenya's turn as he's already in the arena. He was up against Shiozaki that Denki fought against and the match didn't last long. Shiozaki's vines was about to reach Tenya, but with his speed, he went around and pushed her out of bounds and won and made it to the third round. Now it was Y/N's turn as she smirked in excitement because she has night vision and knows she will win. She was now walking up to the stage where she can see Fumikage standing there as he is excited to fight against the tough girl.

"Here we are! We have the dark student against the scary student! Who will win?! The shadow or the predator?"

"I don't intend on losing here. I've watched your fight carefully. No hard feelings." Fumikage said.

"Oh, no problem. But give it your best. There is one thing I never mentioned." Y/N said suddenly smirking, making him feel nervous.

"What's that?"

"I have night vision. And I can fight in the dark as well."

Fumikage could feel his cold sweatdrop on his cheek.

"Start!"

"Dark Shadow!" he called snapping out of his nerve.

"Right!"

Y/N stood there as Dark Shadow flew over to her and pinned her to the ground. Just as he thought it was over, he didn't see her.

"Wah?! Where did L/N go?!"

Fumikage heard a growl and looked to see Dark Shadow, but he didn't make a sound. He then saw the eyes and sharp teeth until the figure jumped out of Dark Shadow towards Fumikage and he quickly dodged the attack. He turned to see you changed into the Indoraptor as you snarled at him with a creepy smile. He was caught off guard and called Dark Shadow to attack her, but she easily dodged it and smacked the shadow with her tail. Using her night vision, she dodged the claw that was coming towards her and wrapped her tail around him and threw him as hard as possible before running towards Fumikage.

Just as she was coming closer, Dark Shadow tackled her to the ground as they rolled to the ground. Y/N grabbed Dark Shadow's wrist with her big claws and flipped him over and pinned him, but he pushed her back. She landed on fours as he flew over to her again until she gave him the intimidation eyes, making him flinch and then scream when she started roaring. He quickly went back into Fumikage, surprising him and her classmates and everyone else.

Y/N then ran at Fumikage and he knew that he is no match against her strength as she grabbed him in the back of his collar with her teeth and walked over to the boundary line and placed him down where the outside of the line is.

"Tokoyami is out of bounds! L/N advances to the third round!" Midnight declared.

The crowd cheered and so as her classmates. Y/N changed back into a human and looked at Fumikage apologetically.

"Sorry that I scared your Dark Shadow."

"No hard feelings. I'm surprised that someone can fight in the dark."

Y/N then gave him her hand and he gladly grabbed it and she lifted him up. He then bowed in defeat before walking away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/N sat with Mina again as she watched the battle between Eijiro and Katsuki. Eijiro raised his hardened fist towards Katsuki's face. Katsuki barely dodged it in time and it only cut his cheek slightly while he shoot his explosion towards Eijiro's side.

"A counter!"

"Ha ha! That won't work on me, Explosion Boy!" taunted Eijiro.

"Tch!" scoffed Katsuki.

"Surprised it didn't hurt him. But he better do it fast before Katsuki finds out his weakness." Y/N said.

"Why?" questioned Denki.

"The more he strain his body the harder it gets for him to hold his whole rock body."

Others nodded in realization. From behind the divider, Y/N can hear Tetsutetsu's shout of encouragement on Eijiro.

"Kirishima! Hit his chin! His chin!"

"Already friends I see." she smiled.

"Bakugo's having a hard time fighting back against Kirishima's fierce attack!"

Eijiro was making Katsuki move back using his punches to try and get him close towards the boundary line. He never stopped swinging his left-right-repeat punch and thought he had the upper hand to beat him until Katsuki hit his left side as he found an opening.

"Bakugo counters again! What's this? Unlike before, it's working?!"

"Dang it. He should've gone faster instead of showing his obvious weakness." Y/N sighed in disappointment.

Katsuki then released his blow, creating a large explosion as Y/N never miss to hear him tell Eijiro to die, making her deadpan. Eijiro's hardened body was no longer protecting him and it weakened him, and he collapsed.

"Kirishima's been immobolized! Bakugo advances to the third round!" Midnight announced.

Y/N chuckled to hear Tetsutetsu whine.

"You idiot! You didn't have enough guts, Kirishima!"

"With that vicious carpet-bombing, Bakugo advances to the third round! And that completes the final four!"

Four images of the students appear on the big screen as it showed Shoto, Y/N, Tenya, and Katsuki in order. It showed that each of them were next to their respective opponents.

"Whelp, looks like it's my time to shine." Y/N got up to head towards the waiting room.

"Good luck out there, Y/N! I hope you win!!" Mina cheered. "Kick his butt!"

"You're the only girl in the semi-finals. Show them that you can fight and play with the big dogs." Kyoka smiled at her as Momo nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. And I'm going to prove that I ain't no damsel in distress." Y/N smiled back at the girls.

"Do your best, Y/N. Kero." Tsu said.

Y/N gave the girls each pat on their head before walking away, not noticing the blush on their faces.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/N was heading to the waiting room #2 and opened the door, only to see Shoto who was sitting in the table. He looked up in surprise to see her after snapping out of his thought that he was having.

"Sorry. I thought it would just be me. Do you mind?"

"No. Go ahead." he said and went back to staring at the table, making her deadpan and took a seat.

It was an awkward silence for a moment until Shoto surprisingly broke it.

"There's something I've been meaning to ask you."

"Yeah? What is it?"

.......

"Do you hate me?"

Now that come out of nowhere.

"Of course not. Why would you say that?"

"You have been glaring at me from the distance during non-class time."

"That's because of the scar you have on your left eye. I know it was the burn mark, because there's no way that it's a birthmark. Which kinda looks like it and it looks good on you."

"She thinks I look good..?" he thought with a hint of blush on his cheeks.

"I'm glad, but there are other reasons I want to ask. What happen to your parents?"

This made her tensed.

"I heard that you live with Kirishima. But everytime you look at me, I could tell by the look on your face you have some memory surface that you tried to ignore."

Y/N clenched her fist as she couldn't tell him and only told Eijiro her story and that's it because she's not that close to anybody yet and is learning to trust her classmates that are willing to become friends with her and others. She wished she could tell him, but she can't.

"...It's nunya."

"What's a nunya?" questioned Shoto.

"Nun ya business."

"Why not?" Shoto raised his eyebrow slightly, waiting for her response.

"It's nothing!" Y/N snapped at him. "I'd rather not say it again! Do you want to know why? Because I still need to learn to trust and as for you, I am okay with you but to everyone else who are rich not the pro heroes, but those citizens, I hate them! I hate everyone that wants money to make them look wealthy and have power!! You don't know anything about me, besides sitting in your ass, being the silent boy who minds his own business!! You don't know how it feels to be experimented!!"

"I didn't mean it like that. But-"

"Shut up!"

With that she flipped the table over, surprising Shoto again.

"I want you to go on full power and fight me like a real man! I want to prove to everyone that I am not some sort of girl that needs to be protected nor being used for their glory! Don't disappoint me!" Y/N yelled in pure anger as her eyes are glowing red and stomped out of the waiting room before slamming the door closed.

Shoto stayed there in silence as he doesn't know what to do. Maybe he shouldn't have said that if it was personal, but he wants to know. Eijiro who was finished with his recovery was heading up to the bleachers to watch Y/N's match when he saw you stomping your way to the arena and flinched to see the anger look on her face. He realized that Shoto must have said something that triggered her and ran over to the waiting room #2 where he sees Shoto still sitting there with the table on the side that is being flipped over with damages on it.

"What did you say to her?" he frowned.

"I just simply ask her about her parents. But it seems very personal."

"You don't know what you have done!" his frown turn to anger. 

"What?" Shoto asked with wide eyes.

"Todoroki you didn't even think about how sensitive a subject that is! She's trying her best to move on, but with those scars she had on her back proves that she still can't get rid of those memories! And now you are ruined it!" Eijiro then ended his rant as he took a deep breath.

"I..." Shoto's lips slightly parted and closed it shut, not knowing what to say.

He swallowed dryly and felt a pang of guilt in his gut, taking Eijiro's words into consideration and grew frustrated with himself.

"You should apologize to her and think about it. Y/N really want a real fight."

Eijiro then walked away through the hallways to the seating area of where his classmates are sitting. Shoto then got up after hearing Present Mic's announcement as he headed over to the arena with his eyes covered by his bangs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/N gritted her teeth in frustration and anger while clenching her fists as she kept on walking. A sudden flashbacks came back to her.

"Mom..? Dad..?"

"No, not now..!" she growled as more memories came.

Images of her parents with blood all over as they lay there motionless and they have gun shots on their bodies. Then there's the younger Y/N standing there holding the plush of the blue Velociraptor, shaking in fear and sadness.

"Mom? Dad? Please! Wake up!!" she cried as tears flow down to her cheeks.

"You're coming with us, kid. You will be safe and we'll take 'good' care of you." the shadowed figure of the soldier smirked evilly and raised his hand towards you.

"No! No! Stay away! No!!!!" younger Y/N screamed, clutching onto her plush tight.

Y/N shook her head and went up the stairs as she heard Present Mic's loud announcement.

"The first match of the semi-finals! One from a topping hero family, the other of the scariest dinosaur that ever live in the world! We have from the hero course, Shoto Todoroki! Versus- From the hero course, Y/N L/N!"

Y/N and Shoto stare at each other across the stage, one with a blank look and the other with pure anger. Shoto doesn't know what to do since he got her mad for bringing up the memory she never want to remember. If it's a real fight she want, he's not sure if he can use his left side since she did tell him to use full power, but he'll try and give her one.

"Start!"
