บท 57: Chapter 57. Finals: Before the Match.
"Hey! Deku!!"
After the semifinals, the finals were coming up, and Midoriya Izuku was stopped by Bakugo Katsuki. "What's up, Kacchan?"
"Well..."
Midoriya Izuku turned around to respond, but Bakugo looked uncomfortable, staring at the sky with a restless expression.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing Bakugo's awkward expression, Midoriya Izuku was curious. Given Bakugo's personality, shouldn't he be settling the score for deceiving him? Midoriya was ready for Bakugo to drag him down in anger...
"Anyway! You jerk, I'll deal with you later for deceiving me. For now!!"
Bakugo shouted angrily, and Midoriya awkwardly raised his hands in defense, fearing that Bakugo might attack him with an explosion.
However, what Midoriya feared didn't happen. Instead, Bakugo muttered something quietly:
"Thanks..."
"Huh?"
Midoriya was surprised, thinking he misheard, but Bakugo had already turned and walked away quickly, not giving Midoriya a chance to ask.
"Did he just... say 'thanks'?"
Midoriya wondered if he heard correctly. Did Bakugo really say thanks?
"Damn Deku, I'll let him off this time! Next time, I'll make him pay!!"
Bakugo gritted his teeth. To those who didn't know, it seemed like Midoriya and Bakugo had a deep grudge.
After the semifinals, the U.A. Sports Festival finals were coming up, where the champion would be decided.
The two competitors were Todoroki Shoto and Midoriya Izuku.
After the match between Midoriya and Bakugo, there will be a half-hour break for the contestants to recover their strength or go to "Recovery Girl" to heal their injuries. After all, the fairness of the competition is important, and the contestants' condition is crucial.
So Midoriya went to the infirmary, where he happened to meet All Might.
"Congratulations, Midoriya! You've made it to the finals!"
"Yes, next I'll be facing Todoroki."
While "Recovery Girl" treated his injuries, Midoriya chatted with All Might. Many people were watching his performance in this sports festival.
"Speaking of which, Todoroki is quite pitiful..."
"Huh? Why do you say that? I can't see anything wrong with Todoroki."
Midoriya Izuku, who often visited Class A of the Hero Course, wasn't friends with everyone, but he was quite familiar with them. He knew that Todoroki Shoto was one of the top students in Class A, with excellent grades and an enviable Quirk... and he was even handsome!
You could say that Todoroki Shoto had the qualities of a main character, but now Midoriya heard All Might say that Todoroki was pitiful... To be honest, Midoriya felt he was more pitiful.
"Todoroki is raised as a tool by his father... to surpass me..."
All Might, who was very troubled, learned about Todoroki Shoto's situation after meeting Endeavor at the sports festival. He knew about the boy's tragic experience but couldn't help him...
As the No.1 hero, he couldn't help a boy resolve his inner conflict, which made All Might feel very sad.
"Endeavor, the No.2 hero, must feel very angry. This boy has been chasing after you all his life, and the pressure you put on him is too much."
Hearing this, "Recovery Girl," who was helping Midoriya recover, also chimed in. She was now at a grandmotherly age, but when All Might and Endeavor were in U.A. High School, "Recovery Girl" was a famous beauty teacher there.
"But... as a parent, putting pressure on your child is too much. I really wanted to punch that jerk back then."
"Uh... what's going on..."
Hearing that there seemed to be some conflict between All Might and Endeavor, Midoriya Izuku felt very awkward. As a hero fan, he didn't want to hear this negative information.
Almost as if complaining, All Might told Midoriya Izuku about Todoroki Shoto's situation, helping him understand his upcoming opponent.
"In short, Endeavor went too far. Whether as the No.1 hero or as Todoroki's teacher, I can't just sit back and do nothing!"
"Uh... All Might, what are you going to do?!"
"Endeavor is also at the sports festival. After the match, I'll go beat him up and make him apologize to Todoroki!"
All Might transformed from his thin form to his hero form, showing his iconic smile and thumbs-up in front of Midoriya Izuku, the strongest hero's decision!
"As a hero and a teacher, it's my responsibility to mediate family conflicts!"
"I think..., if you do this, it will cause big problems..."
Listening to All Might, Midoriya looked helpless... If All Might really did this, tomorrow there would be news all over the country about Todoroki, with headlines like "Shocking! All Might and Endeavor Fight, Is This the End of Hero Society?!"
After some persuasion, the strongest hero gave up on that unreliable plan. "Recovery Girl" even hit All Might's muscle brain with a stick to calm him down...
Midoriya Izuku came out of the infirmary with a troubled expression. He didn't expect such a thing...
Unlike his dream of becoming a hero without a Quirk, Todoroki was deliberately created by his father to be a tool to surpass the number one hero. That's really too much!!
"Midoriya?"
"Ah, Todoroki?!"
On the way to the arena, Midoriya Izuku ran into Todoroki Shoto, whether by chance or not.
"In the upcoming final, I won't hold back."
As if declaring his stance, Todoroki Shoto said this to Midoriya Izuku.
"Todoroki, are you going to use your fire Quirk?!"
"No..."
Midoriya's quick question made Todoroki Shoto fall silent. He deeply resented his father and hated his fire Quirk.
"Then why did you say 'won't hold back'? Aren't you going to give it your all?!"
"Enough, I don't want to talk to you anymore..."
Midoriya's words seemed to hit Todoroki's sore spot. He turned and walked towards the sports arena.
"Is that so..."
Midoriya Izuku, as if making up his mind, thought just like All Might said, Todoroki Shoto needed someone to help him... and maybe he had that chance.
