My Hero Academia (僕のヒーローアカデミア)

Endeavor's my old man.

He's been stuck as the number two hero for forever.

It is my Shoto's duty to surpass All Might.

If you have something from the number one hero, then I...

...have even more reason to beat you.

In my memories, my mother is always crying.

"Your left side is unsightly,"

my mother said as she poured boiling water on me.

Without using my damn old man's Quirk...

No...

I'll reject him completely by winning first place without using it.

No matter what you are to All Might,

I will rise above you with just my right side.

But I can't lose, either.

I have to live up to the hopes of those who supported me.

I will beat you, too!

But you want to be a hero, don't you?

It's okay for you to be one.

Before I knew it, I had forgotten what happened after this...

"Shoto Todoroki" "Izuku Midoriya"

The first match of the second round!

At this year's sports festival, both have shown top class performances!

Midoriya!

First, he'll come at me with ice.

Versus--

Todoroki!

It'll be dangerous to let him use that power as he likes.

It's like two great rivals fighting against each other!

Now--

The instant we start...

Start!

Go!

Smash!

So cold!

Just the wind is already this cold?!

Just as I expected.

He was prepared to injure himself to negate the attack.

Wow! Midoriya stopped Todoroki's attack!

He didn't know what scale of attack Young Todoroki would use,

so he abandoned control and fired off a shot at 100%!

It's true that that was the only thing he could do against the ice attack...

However!

Smash!

He stopped it again!

Damn...

From what I know of Todoroki's fighting,

he always attacks in an instant, so I don't have much data on him.

Data... During this fight, I need to find an opening...

The ice he's stuck behind him is probably how he plans to keep from being blown away.

Which means, I was right to use my fingers.

It's likely that it could even work against a 100% smash where I sacrifice my arm.

I've got to look carefully...

Think...

Find it...

I've got six more chances...!

You're...

Five more chances!

It started?!

Kirishima, good job making it to the second round.

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

I'll kill you.

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.

I'm not just shooting them off. Don't underestimate 'em.

Huh?

If you overuse your muscles, the muscle fibers tear,

and if you keep running, you'll run out of breath.

There's a limit to how much power I can produce, too.

That's why I designed my costume so that I could fire blasts

in excess of what my body allows without any risk.

Quirks are physical abilities, too.

They must also have some kind of limit.

If I think about it like that, I guess that makes sense...

Then, against the instant-killer Todoroki, Midoriya wants...

...an endurance match, huh?

I'll end this quickly.

Smash!

I've used up all the fingers on my right hand!

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

Damn it...!

Oh no, he's so close!

That's a lot more powerful than before.

Are you trying to tell me... to stay away...?

It's not just his Quirk.

His judgment, application skills, mobility...

All of his abilities... are strong!

He's already better than the average pro...

It's like that's what you get from the son of the number two hero.

What, you're that beat up just from defending and running away?

He's trembling...?

Is that how it is...?

Damn it...

Sorry...

Thanks, Midoriya. That guy's face is clouded over thanks to you.

Without using my damn old man's Quirk...

No...

I'll reject him completely by winning first place without using it.

With your arms like that, you can't fight anymore, can you?

Let's finish this.

Todoroki keeps attacking with overwhelming power!

Here comes the finishing ice attack!

Where are you looking?

Bastard...

With your broken finger...?

Why are you going so far?

You're trembling, Todoroki.

Quirks are physical abilities, too.

There's a limit to how much cold your body can take, isn't there?

And isn't that something you could solve by using the heat from your left side?

Everyone's fighting with everything they've got...

To win and get closer to their dream...

To become number one...

You want to win with just half your strength?!

You haven't put a single scratch on me yet, you know!

Come at with me with everything you've got!

You want to win with just half your strength?!

You haven't put a single scratch on me yet, you know!

Come at with me with everything you've got!

Young Midoriya...

Todoroki isn't you, either.

That boy...

Midoriya...

What are you planning?

Everything I've got?

Did my damn old man buy you off or something?

Now I'm angry!

His movements are...

...slow!

It's because frost fell on his body...

Unlike the limit to my power, it's probably like the MP in a game...

Was the scale during his fight with Flat Face the upper limit?

In close quarters, you won't be able to do anything about it!

The instant I lifted my right foot... This guy...!

Imagine... the microwave...

It won't explode... It won't... It won't...! It won't...!

A solid hit!

We've got some action!

He got a hit on Todoroki!

Even though Midoriya looks way more beat up...

I can't believe he went on the offensive here!

Why...?

The ice isn't coming as fast...

Should I stop it, Midnight?
