Kapitel 113: Chapter 112: Thunderbirds
The effects of Kaminari's high-voltage electricity were starting to take their toll on Todoroki. The searing pain and numbing paralysis threatened to overwhelm him, nearly breaking his focus and pushing him to the edge of consciousness.
But even in this desperate situation, Todoroki's determination held firm. He was a "genius," after all—gifted with abilities that set him apart from others, in every possible way.
With a surge of cold air, Todoroki pushed himself to the limit, letting the frost on his right side pour out without restraint, even if it meant risking frostbite.
Crack, crack, crack.
In an instant, under the extreme cold, his entire body was encased in ice. Despite being mid-air from Kaminari's earlier kick, Todoroki managed to react, forming a solid layer of ice around himself to brace for the impact.
Simultaneously, thin sheets of ice began to form in the air around him, attempting to slow Kaminari's relentless approach. But it was futile.
In his high-voltage mode, Kaminari's electricity generated intense heat, causing the ice and cold mist surrounding him to melt almost instantly as he drew closer.
Boom!
Crack!
Another powerful blow from Kaminari sent Todoroki flying even higher, a trail of white mist marking his trajectory. And within seconds, a streak of golden lightning shot up to follow him, moving several times faster than before.
On three sides of the stadium, the audience sat mesmerized, while those watching from home witnessed a spectacle that would be seared into their memories forever.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of thunderous impacts echoed through the arena as Kaminari continued his high-speed assault. From a distance, he looked like a golden blur, weaving through the sky and creating streaks of light that left afterimages in the air. Each time he struck, a blast of electric energy and a sharp crack of ice resounded, with Todoroki ricocheting through the sky like a battered ragdoll.
"This… this…" Kyoka muttered, staring up at the display in stunned silence. Her mind was blank, save for one overwhelming realization.
"This is Kaminari's power?"
All around her, the crowd remained in a state of awe, their eyes fixed on the battle above, unable to tear themselves away.
"Are they really just first-year students? Are they even students at all?"
"This level of combat… it's beyond most Pro Heroes!"
Even Present Mic, the usually energetic announcer, was at a loss for words, his eyes wide with disbelief as he watched the two figures collide in mid-air.
"How much longer can they keep this up?" he muttered to himself, though his voice was amplified by the speakers, making everyone in the arena hear his concern. "If this keeps going… Todoroki's going to reach his limit."
On the other side of the stadium, Endeavor's composure was starting to crack. Gone was his usual stoic stance, replaced with a tense posture as he watched his son, his face dark with concern.
"Hmph…"
The flames on Endeavor's body flickered more intensely, flaring up as if in reaction to the tension. Kaminari's earlier words echoed in his mind:
"You keep talking about Todoroki's 'full power,' but have you ever seen my full power?"
"With all due respect… if I went all-out, he'd be dead already."
For a brief moment, Endeavor found himself believing Kaminari's words.
Boom!
Wham!
Finally, the chain of strikes in the sky came to a dramatic end as Kaminari unleashed a particularly powerful blow. Todoroki was sent hurtling downward, the force breaking through the sound barrier and sending him plummeting like a falling meteor.
"Oh no!" Midnight gasped. "This is bad!"
As Midnight, Cementoss, and the other teachers prepared to intervene, Kaminari landed back on the tip of the iceberg he'd created earlier, his gaze cold and unwavering as he looked down at Todoroki's descending figure.
"Todoroki… you won't die from this, but if you hit the ground, you're definitely going to be hurt."
Just as Todoroki was about to crash into the ground, something changed. His falling figure started to glow with a faint red hue.
Wait… no. It wasn't just a glow. It was…
Boom!
A roaring pillar of fire erupted from Todoroki's body, engulfing the air around him and stopping his fall. The inferno expanded in all directions, so intense that anything that got close—including the teachers rushing to help was pushed back by the searing heat.
"Oh? So you're finally using your flames."
Kaminari stood at a height above the stadium, perched on the massive ice formation, watching as the blaze consumed the lower half of the arena.
"It looks like that promise you made to never use his fire means nothing when you're staring death in the face."
He emphasized the word "promise" with a mocking tone, then steadied himself, grasping his right wrist with his left hand, focusing energy into his palm.
"Well, if you're going all-out, then I suppose it's only fair I do the same."
His golden eyes narrowed, a sharp and deadly intensity in his gaze.
"I wasn't joking earlier. If you don't bring everything you have, I will knock you out."
*Bzzzzzzzzzzzt! Chirp-Chirp-Chirp*
On top of the iceberg electricity began to gather, crackling and snapping in Kaminari's hands. The sound echoed like thunder mixed with the sharp chirping of birds.
Below, deep in the sea of fire, Todoroki stood on scorched earth. His condition was rough, to say the least. His sports jacket was completely burned away, leaving only his pants intact, almost as if by some strange twist of fate.
His upper body was covered in burns and cuts, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. But even the blood evaporated almost instantly under the intense heat, leaving only a red smear as a reminder of his injuries.
"I… I almost died…"
Todoroki's eyes were wide, his heart racing as he recalled the terror he'd felt just moments ago. It was a fear he hadn't known before—a fear beyond anything he'd felt, even more agonizing than the memory of boiling water scalding him as a child. This time, it was real, visceral, a fear rooted in the prospect of death.
No matter how gifted he was, or how indifferent he tried to be, at his core, he was still a fifteen-year-old kid. And the reality of facing death shook him in a way he wasn't prepared for.
*Crackle, crackle.*
Just as he steadied himself, the familiar buzzing sound of electricity filled the air, drawing closer from above.
"That sound…"

Kapitel 114: Chapter 113: Seal Raikiri
As the high-pitched crackling of electricity filled the air, Midnight, who had been watching the battle intently, felt an uneasy prickle down her spine. This sound was sharper, more intense than before, almost like thousands of birds screeching in unison.
The memory of something she'd once seen and heard during a deep training exercise flashed through her mind, and an instinctive sense of danger welled up inside her.
"Stop! Kaminari, stop!!" she shouted, her voice echoing across the arena. Without hesitation, she tore the fabric from her arms, releasing her sleep-inducing pheromones, and directed the pink gas towards Kaminari.
But the intense heat radiating from the stadium floor prevented her quirk from reaching him, the gas evaporating before it could get close.
Meanwhile, Cementoss and Vlad had already moved to intercept. Even All Might on the teacher's bench and Endeavor in the stands looked tense, realizing the severity of Kaminari's next move.
"This attack... it could be dangerous!"
But Kaminari's speed in his high-voltage mode was no joke.
With his hand outstretched, holding a dense orb of dark-gold electricity, Kaminari launched himself off the top of the ice formation, tearing through the arena with blazing speed. Shards of ice shattered in his wake, leaving a trail of golden afterimages and fractured ice along his path.
CRACK!
Kaminari tore through the lingering flames and searing waves of heat, charging straight at Todoroki.
"Can't even stop it with fire?!"
Todoroki's eyes widened as the dark-gold glow grew larger in his vision. But he wasn't about to back down.
"So what!" he shouted defiantly, summoning twin streams of ice and fire from both sides of his body, the two elements surging forward in tandem.
In that instant, the arena was split into a world of fire and ice, Todoroki unleashing the full power of his Quirk, pushing beyond anything he'd done before. He was combining his flames and ice at once, pushing both sides to their limits.
The collision of superheated air with intense cold created a massive pressure wave, an explosive air burst that roared through the stadium.
BOOM!
Kaminari's golden pupils narrowed as the explosion and shockwave barreled toward him. "Let's finish this!"
With a fierce shout, he poured every ounce of electricity in his body into the energy ball in his right hand, even drawing power from the high-voltage field that protected him. His golden aura faded visibly, while the electricity in his hand intensified, forming a dark-gold spear of energy that extended from his fingertips.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The arena was engulfed in blinding light as Kaminari's "Raikiri" met Todoroki's fire and ice head-on, creating a brilliant white flash. The sheer force of the impact unleashed a shockwave that obliterated the massive iceberg, scattering it into tiny shards that evaporated almost instantly in the extreme heat.
For what felt like an eternity, the light and noise were overwhelming, a deafening roar that rattled every corner of the stadium. The audience shielded their eyes, and an intense wind whipped across the arena, tearing through the stands with the force of a typhoon.
When the dust began to settle, and the harsh light finally dimmed, a heavy silence blanketed the stadium. Thick white mist filled the arena floor, obscuring everything from view. The audience held their breath, waiting for any sign of the two fighters.
Slowly, the white mist began to dissipate, swirling as if disturbed by a force within. As it cleared, the crowd squinted, trying to make out what had happened.
The first thing they noticed was that Midnight, who had been in the stands, was now plastered against the wall above the audience, clinging to it like a portrait in an awkward position.
And, pressed up against her… was a grinning Mineta, his nose bleeding profusely.
"Ah… I can die happy now…" Mineta sighed dreamily, reveling in his proximity to Midnight.
Midnight, clearly uncomfortable, pushed herself off the wall and grabbed Mineta by his collar, flinging him aside. Her face flushed, not from Mineta's antics, but from the embarrassment of being thrown into the wall in front of the entire stadium. She quickly tried to regain her composure as the mist continued to clear.
Finally, the field came into view. But instead of Todoroki or Kaminari, the first thing the audience noticed was All Might, standing firmly in the center of the field, gripping Kaminari's right wrist tightly. Kaminari's hand still crackled faintly with residual electricity.
And nearby, Endeavor lay in a crater against the stadium wall, looking somewhat battered, having apparently been flung there during the final clash.
"Kaminari… what was that move?"
All Might, towering over Kaminari, looked down with a serious expression. Held by cement restraints and a few blood ropes, Kaminari couldn't move. He met All Might's gaze and replied with a slight smirk.
"Raikiri…" He hesitated for a moment, then added quietly, "An upgraded version."
He'd considered calling it "Chidori" before, but somehow, the name "Raikiri" felt like a better fit for him.
"Raikiri…" All Might repeated the name to himself, committing it to memory. After a moment, his expression grew stern again.
"Kaminari, tell me honestly. Did you use this 'Raikiri' intending to kill Todoroki?"
Kaminari looked up, meeting All Might's gaze directly. A faint smile touched his lips as he spoke calmly.
"Look closely at where my hand was aimed. I didn't go for his vital points—I aimed for his right arm."
All Might glanced at Kaminari's right hand, still faintly glowing, and after a moment, nodded in agreement.
"You're right."
With All Might's grip holding him in place, there was no way Kaminari could have shifted his aim. Even Endeavor wouldn't have been able to change his trajectory in that situation.
Seeing Kaminari's measured expression, All Might's stance relaxed slightly.
"Kaminari, I have a request," All Might said, his voice carrying a weight of authority.
Kaminari sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, Do I even have a choice? He nodded.
"Go ahead."
All Might released Kaminari's wrist, still looking down at him with a serious expression.
"Kaminari, I want you to temporarily seal this 'Raikiri' technique. Don't use it on your classmates again. And even if you face villains in the future, use it only as a last resort."
"Understood."
Kaminari agreed without hesitation.
