Natsume shivered as the fight continued, and not just from her nerves. Her eyes drifted over to Fuyumi as she began to see her breath.
She knew how close her sister was to Shoko, ever since their mother's institutionalization, Fuyumi was the one taking care of her after Endeavor's training left her broken, bruised and crying.
And now, seeing Shoko getting beaten by- Izuku... that was his name right? ... -was causing distress on the older sister.
But then... Shoko set aflame as she screamed her convictions.
A tear rolled down Fuyumi's cheek. "He-he did it..."
"He broke down her walls."
Shoko started to get back up slowly, her body shaking off the symptoms of hypothermia as the flames she was generating raised her core temperature back up.
Honestly, she was surprised to see Izuku just waiting at the other side of the ring with a massive smile on his face.
She could feel one on her face too; her cheeks ached with the long-forgotten sensation of a grin spreading them apart. "You are insane..." she simply breathed out.
"Tell me something all of 1-A doesn't know," he shot back, a bead of sweat sliding down his eyebrow.
"Your quirk can't beat fire," she answered, stomping down and letting fire engulf her side fully, ready to fight.
"Oh?" Izuku stomped down into his combat stance too; lightning arcing from muscle group to muscle group. "Wanna test that?"
Endeavor stopped laughing maniacally as she noticed the orange glow coming from the ring.
For a moment she stood there, transfixed by the fire of her daughter.
"He actually... forced her to use her fire..." She started cackling more. This man...
He just keeps getting better and better.
"MIDORIIIYAAAAAAA!" She couldn't help but exclaim, flames flashing high enough to cast shadows onto the ring, finally shaking the crowd, as well as Mic, out of their stupor.
A man had a quirk, one powerful enough to force the daughter of the number two hero into using her fire after tossing her around.
Needless to say, the stadium lost its shit.
"How is that even possible- Men can't have quirks!" shot a pro out in the open, pointing at the ring accusingly.
"But- but he has one, don't you see the lightning?" argued someone else from her side.
" HE FLEXED A GLACIER TO SMITHEREENS! CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT?!"
The argument quickly crescendoed, overtaking even Endeavor's mad ramblings.
Miruko tried to stand back up, but her muscular legs failed her for once. The screams and yells of the panicked crowd went unheard; the only thing that existed for her right now was the man down below and his fight.
She leaned back; supporting her weight with her arms. Ears flopping to her forehead in the turmoil of emotions she was riding out.
Not only had he been strong, to begin with, not only had he spoken his mind whenever the opportunity presented, even against Endeavour.
He had a quirk.
He had a quirk and was forcing others to go at their fullest, in a show of true power and dominance.
The thought alone made something bubble in her chest. And she couldn't stop the stupid smile spreading on her face.
I'm sending him an internship offer.
