Izuku POV:

After my match with Bakugou and moving onto the semi finals, the time between my next match and the one between Todoroki and Iida was rather short. Thanks to some quick thinking on his end, Todoroki was able to beat his opponent with the help of very specified close range ice attacks. Now the time for my match came yet again. I found myself sitting in the waiting room until I got called before a knock on the door came. "Doors open." When the person behind it came in, I noticed it was the 9th ranked pro at the moment.

"So you're the infamous Izuku Midoriya. Or should I call you by your family name?" I grit my teeth and glared her down at this before she corrected herself. "My apologies. I only wanted to see your reaction to be calling that to determine something. May I sit down?" I motioned for the chair for the dragon hero to sit on the table instead.

As the hem of her costume lowered around her thigh, I noticed a tattoo of pop's flag. "I see you're part of the Whitebeards."

"Formerly. There was an incident that forced me to leave."

"What was it about?"

"I'd rather not say. It's better for you if you don't know." I didn't go any farther for her to turn more towards me. "Tell me something Midoriya, how do you plan to take down the Charlotte family?"

"Well I'll start by showing I'm stronger than their strongest Sweet Enforcer."

"Then?"

"I'll take down Big Mom."

"After?"

I didn't understand her comment to ask. "What do you mean after? If Big Mom is taken down, that practically cripples the Charlotte family."

"Not exactly. You see, the Charlotte family can still manage. All that would change if you take down Big Mom is who would lead them. The only way to take down the Charlotte family would be to take down the group in total. And the fact you want to stop the Charlotte family as a whole is insane and complete madness if you ask me."

"So? Wouldn't be the first time someone's put down my ideas."

A smirk came on her face before speaking up. "To be honest, I like that idea you have. If you need help in your endeavors, my door is open." Ryukyu stood up before walking to the door. "Ambition is needed, but having bonds and assistance from others is just as important."

When she was out the door and left me in my thoughts, I thought about her comment. 'Bonds and assistance. Not like many would want to help me outside of pops and the Whitebeards.' I let out a sigh before debating that one statement. "This isn't something they should worry about. I need to take on Big Mom and my own family myself. It'll be the only way I can prove I'm not like them."

3rd person POV:

"ALRIGHT BOYS AND GIRLS, IT'S TIME FOR THE SECOND SEMI FINAL MATCH! ON MY LEFT, HE'S A HOTBLOODED FIGHTER WITH A QUIRK AS HARD AS STONE! CLASS A'S EIJIRO KIRISHIMA! AND ON MY RIGHT, THE BOY THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE LOSE! CLASS A'S IZUKU MIDORIYA!" The crowd immediately started booing Izuku like normal with the sound of Mic being smacked over the head being heard.

"Do you honestly have to encourage this?"

"What? I ain't wrong man. Besides, the crowd doesn't really care."

'Can we just start this?' Izuku rolled his eyes before seeing Kirishima harden his body. 'If he had Haki, that quirk might be an issue.'

"BEGIN!" Kirishima started charging for Izuku for his punches to go completely through the larger teen's torso. "SEEMS MIDORIYA ISN'T CHANGING HIS STRATEGY! TALK ABOUT A ONE TRICK PONY!"

"You're one to talk Mic. How often do you just shout at your enemies? Besides, this just shows the gap." Aizawa explained with the crowd immediately booing Izuku.

"You know, that quirk isn't half bad." Izuku somewhat complements Kirishima for it to only anger the redhead.

"GO TO HELL!"

"Tch, I say one thing nice and this is how I'm treated. Fine." Izuku pulled his arm back with it extending near the edge of the arena. "Mochi Mochi...." The fist came charging back at Kirishima with his hardening falling down due to constant use. "PISTOL!" The hit went right into his face and knocked the hardening quirk user out in an instant.

"Kirishima is unable to continue, Midoriya wins!" The crowd started booing Izuku while throwing things at him.

"CHEAP SHOT!"

"GO TO HELL YA DAMNED CHARLOTTE!"

"DROP DEAD!"

"You know, this is starting to get annoying to hear whenever he walks out." Mic comments to Aizawa who rolls his eyes.

"GO IZUKU!" Lola got out of her seat to raise her arms in excitement with Hado joining her.

"That was so cool! It was like BAM! I WIN! Just how strong is Midoriya? Did he do some kind of special training with his quirk? Is the mochi he makes out of his body edible?" As from what she's known for, Hado began shooting off question after question trying to get answers.

"I must say, Whitebeard has obtained an amazing son this round." Ryukyu smiled with Ace laughing at how easy the match was while eating.

All of a sudden, he stopped eating to gain the groups attention before passing out. "HE'S SLEEPING AGAIN!?"

"Huh?" The second division commander looked around before continuing to eat again.

"IS THIS NORMAL!?"

back with Izuku

Not caring to go back towards the stands, Izuku went to his waiting room to notice Endeavor walking by. "So you're Shoto's next opponent?" The young Charlotte remained quiet while continuing to walk away. "Perhaps you will help prove to my son on what he should be. Defeating you will be the first step towards the ultimate goal he has laid out in front of him. For he shall be the one to inherit my legacy and become the one to surpass All Might."

Izuku stopped in his tracks to speak up. "You honestly think he wants to do that?"

"Excuse me?"

"Do you even know how much he hates you? I'm not one to talk about steady parental relationships, but you have got to be one of the most lousy father's out there. Hell, my father is probably a better one than you, and he's a fucking villain."

"Watch your tongue boy, or you may regret what you say."

"Says a man that can't understand that because of what you've laid out ahead for your son, you're basically destroying him as a human being." Izuku walked back towards the waiting room again while giving one final piece of advice. "If Todoroki wants to be like you, that's one thing. But pushing your goals onto your son who refuses them is another thing all together."

As he entered the room, Izuku noticed someone in the corner. "So I heard you got to the final round. Nicely done."

Izuku glanced over and glared at Katakuri. "What are you doing here?"

"I just came to congratulate you on getting this far. No matter what happens though, I'm happy that you're doing what you think is best in your opinion."

Losing his composure, Izuku walked up to his father and grabbed him by the shirt. "WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE!? LAST TIME I CHECKED, YOU LEFT ME AND MOM TO FEND FOR OURSELVES BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFISHNESS!"

Katakuri looked at his son before letting a sigh out. "No. I left you in order to protect you and your mother. If I were to stay, the chances of you being picked on and looked at as a danger would be more prominent at an earlier age."

"Earlier!? I SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE BEING TREATED LIKE YOU! HOW DARE YOU THINK WHAT YOU DID WAS BETTER!?"

"....I'm sorry." Izuku couldn't take it anymore to open the door and leave.

"I don't know how you got in UA, but leave now. I won't ask again." The green haired boy left while shutting the door.

As he did, Katakuri sat in a chair pinching the bridge of his nose trying to understand where his conversation went wrong with Izuku. "Maybe if I'd have told him that I honestly didn't want mama to bring him into this life, he'd have taken this better?"

On the field

"ALRIGHT FOLKS, TIME FOR THE FINAL MATCH OF THE FIRST YEAR'S SPORTS FESTIVAL! ON MY LEFT, HE'S THE SON OF THE NUMBER 2 HERO ENDEAVOR! CLASS A'S SHOTO TODOROKI! AND ON MY RIGHT, THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FIRST YEARS! CLASS A'S IZUKU MIDORIYA." The crowd immediately booed at Izuku for him to ignore it and focus on the matter at hand. "BEGIN!"

Right off the bat, Todoroki created a massive wave of ice to head towards Izuku. He pulled his arm back and immediately punched the ice to shatter what was coming his way. 'Damn that hurt. I don't think I can do as many of those. But right now, that's not the issue here.' The dual colored haired teen sent another blast of ice at Izuku again for him to punch it once more before a third and fourth came at him. He continually punched and destroyed the ice with frost covering his arms as well as some cuts making themselves known on his knuckles.

"OH SNAP FOLKS! LOOKS LIKE MIDORIYA'S ACTUALLY THROWING MORE THAN ONE PUNCH! WHAT COULD THIS BE ABOUT!?"

"KILL HIM!"

"FREEZE HIS ASS OFF!"

"MAKE HIM REGRET COMING HERE!"

The crowd continually shouted with Todoroki feeling the level of negativity in the audience. "Hey! When the hell are you gonna stop showing me your halfassed results and give me a real challenge!?" This statement from Izuku annoyed Todoroki to continue blasting him with more ice to see it shatter once more. "IS THIS REALLY THE BEST YOU GOT!? I EXPECTED MORE FROM THE SON OF THE NUMBER 2 HERO!"

This statement finally made Todoroki lose it and take a different approach to the situation. If long range heavy attacks didn't work, then short range could. When he got close enough, the dual haired boy tried to freeze Izuku with him dodging and staying towards his left. Another solid punch came from Izuku for him to punch Todoroki's side. "WHAT'S GOING ON FOLKS!? LOOKS LIKE MIDORIYA'S DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THIS ROUND!"

"Come on!" Izuku grumbled at Todoroki loud enough to hear. "That was an open attack if you'd use your left half. Why are you holding back?"

"This isn't a game Midoriya! Fight me seriously!"

"Not until you give me the luxury of the same!" Yet another wave of ice came at Izuku for him to punch and shatter it. The amount of destruction this round left some of the ice, but the hand the young Charlotte used began to bleed.

"Midoriya, why does this mean so much if I fight you with my left?" Expecting this to be his father's doing, Todoroki asked this for the answer to be different.

"Because it's insulting to know you're not fighting any of us seriously. What you all think is me not taking you on seriously, is actually the opposite. It took hard work and dedication with my quirk that relates to my father's to turn my body into mochi and hold the shape it does. The fruits of that came after a lot of attacks on me, a lot of punches and a lot of injuries I'd rather not say. Yet when I see you using only half of the power you could use, it makes me enraged to no end thinking that someone like you doesn't have to try with everything."

One more wave of ice came at Izuku for his fist that wasn't dripping blood to be used to destroy it. "So are you just going to use your fists to do this!? Look at them!"

"These hands. They may have my cursed family's blood flowing through them, but they're still mine." He glared at Todoroki in anger before answering. "AND UNTIL YOU GIVE ME THE SAME RESPECT EVERYONE ELSE DID OF FIGHTING ME LIKE A THREAT, I REFUSE TO USE MY POWER ON YOU!"

The two continued their brawl with Izuku constantly punching the ice with brute force. His blood stained his fingers and palms red with those actually realizing what he's doing amazed Izuku wasn't on his knees in pain. "This is going too far. Cementos, prepare to stop them." Midnight spoke into a com link in her ear for the cement hero to hear.

"Agreed."

Izuku gave a solid punch to Todoroki's face for his blood to coat the left side. "IT'S YOURS, SO WHY WON'T YOU USE IT!? If you honestly think this is all it takes to be a hero, THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Todoroki froze hearing this when he noticed the blood on Izuku's fists. "WHY ARE YOU EVEN AT THIS SCHOOL IF YOU THINK YOU'RE TRAPPED IN YOUR OWN LINEAGE!?"

'You are not a slave to your lineage. You are free to be whoever you want.'

'I remember.' Memories of Todoroki's mother flooded his mind of how she tried to give her son some encouragement to be who he wishes to be. In that moment, his left side began roaring like an inferno.

"DANG FOLKS! LOOKS LIKE TODOROKI JUST HAD A FIRE LIT IN HIM."

In the stands Endeavor smiled while shouting. "YES SHOTO! Have you finally accepted your purpose!?" Walking down near the bottom of the seats, the pro smiled arrogantly at his son.

"Hotheaded ass." Ace let his tongue slip to show his disapproval of the pro hero parent.

"Impressive. So this is what your power can do? Well I gave you a promise, so I'll keep it." Izuku pulled his mouth out from it's covering and bit into his thumb. "Mochi Mochi...." Izuku's hand started to expand to insane sizes before stopping at easily triple his size.

"GROWTH!"

'I get it now. You wanted to help save me from myself.' Todoroki began smiling while sending a massive wave of both ice and fire at Izuku. 'Thank you, Izuku Midoriya.' The two collided with Cementos trying to stop them for the impact to outmatch whatever he could make in the single moment. A massive explosion happened to send a shockwave to everyone in the stands.

"THIS IS CRAZY!"

"Just what exactly is happening!?"

Inko tried to look at the field with no ability to open her eyes from the force. 'Izuku!'

When the shockwave from the collision subsided, a giant dust cloud covered the field to prevent anyone from seeing a definitive winner. "Midnight. What's going on?" Cementos asked for the R rated hero to stand and look around.

Looking where a massive pile of ice was, Midnight noticed Todoroki unconscious and out of bounds. Inside the ring however, Izuku stood tall with his right fist in the air bloodied and shaking. "Todoroki is out of bounds, the winner of the Sports Festival is Izuku Midoriya!"

The crowd started booing with those that wanted the green haired boy to win shouting for joy. "Go Midoriya!" Ochako jumped out of her seat in excitement with everyone else glaring scornfully at Izuku.

"MA MA MA MA! NOW THAT WAS AN ENDING!" Big Mom laughed happily as she witnessed Izuku's feats. "A shame Katakuri had to leave and do something important. I hope he at least saw his son compete."

In a corner of the stadium stands, Katakuri watched while leaning on a wall the events of the final round. 'Nicely done Izuku. I wish you the best of luck with wherever this success takes you.'

And that finishes this chapter. Izuku had won the Sports Festival with no pro really enjoying this. See how he manages this next time. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
