"May the best competitor win." I said.

We walked down together, but split up to go our separate ways. I faced him on the other side of the arena, slightly nervous for the battle. I knew how strong he was, and just hoped he wouldn't give me hypothermia or burn me. I was still going to give this my all though, I'd worked hard to get here so I could show everyone that I have what it takes to be a hero.

There might be others who have a better reason, or might deserve this chance more than I do, but I had the same chance as any of them. But who was here now? Who was the one having a chance to win the UA Sports Festival? No one else made it except me and Todoroki.

I don't want to act like I don't care about all the others, but I just want to prove that I can do this. That I'm strong enough to win even with some weird seizure condition holding me back. I might not have been strong enough to defend myself back then, but I've worked even harder since the incident with the League. It's given me enough drive to finally realize how dangerous the world actually is. How weak I am compared to all the threats out there. I know what I have to do know, and it all starts with winning this battle.

"And now, the final match of the Sports Festival! Y/n vs Todoroki! Begin!" Midnight announced the final match.

I knew Todoroki didn't want to use his fire side, which might give me an advantage. He would probably start by sending an ice attack directly at me. Which, of course, is what he did. I met his ice with my own ice blast, causing a cold collision. Ice was still forming, but it had no where to go once met with more ice, so it just spread around the arena. The whole area of battle was covered in ice of all different heights and sizes. There was a positive and a negative to this, he couldn't see me, but I also couldn't see him. I thought about floating above to get a better look, but he would be expecting that, anticipating that. I went around the ice, as quietly as I could. It was like a maze though, and I quickly got lost. For all I knew, Todoroki could be waiting to ambush me from around the corner. I crept around, carefully checking before I approached a new area. I heard a sudden crunch from behind me, and I whipped around. Todoroki had just come from around another corner, and I could see we were both startled by the others presence.

"Hiding?" I asked him.

"I thought you were." He said.

"Well I'm not, so I guess we should battle now." I replied.

I sent an small ice attack him, not really trying to do any damage. It was more aimed at his left side, and I could tell he saw it. He met it with his own ice, and I didn't waste any effort on it. I sent another blast, and he countered again. I sent a few more, and he always used ice to defend himself, refusing to use his fire. I got distracted, and he sent another attack at me, catching me off guard.

Before I realized what had happened, I was frozen in place.
