I, without any personality, become a hero!

"Of course, Izuku Midoriya is my most outstanding student, and I'm really looking forward to seeing his expression when he finds out I'm the leader of the League of Villains."

"Well... whatever makes you happy."

At this moment, even AFO dared not say anything more. He felt that his approach of training Shigaraki Tomura to provoke All Might was too weak. If this young Izuku Midoriya knew that the teacher he admired most was actually the leader of the League of Villains... he would probably fall into the abyss of despair.

I really don't know what deep-seated hatred Akaya Kaion and Midoriya Izuku have to use such a horrifying and terrifying way to toy with him. However, AFO can only temporarily attribute it to the sadistic tastes of this "League of Villains" leader, and it's best not to ask too much.

Despair can utterly destroy a person, but it can also allow a person to rise from the ashes.

"When a person climbs out of the abyss of despair, he will no longer be defeated by any setbacks or hardships."

Chapter 39 U.A. Sports Meet: Finals

The U.A. Sports Games finals, the final battle between the two athletes who have advanced through numerous challenges, is a highly anticipated final for the audience and those watching on television.

"Go for it, Izuku!

The only thing she could do was cheer for her son, Midoriya Inoko, in front of the TV. She was very happy and excited to see Midoriya Izuku standing on this stage. Now, all she could do was silently wish her son well and believe that he would definitely win.

"Cooked...."

The mother, who had been staying in the hospital, watched her son, Todoroki, on TV as he competed in the U.A. High School Games. Tears streamed down her face. She had hurt her son, but... Todoroki had grown up.

"This is going to be a pretty exciting battle."

In the League of Villains' bar, Akaya Kaion's eyes never left the television, while All For One and Kurogiri also focused their attention on the U.A. Sports Meet, the final and most intense stage of the competition.

In the center of the U.A. Sports Meet, under the watchful eyes of everyone, two people stepped onto the ring for the championship battle between Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki.

"Midori, I'll give it my all this time, so be careful."

"Finally, someone isn't saying the same lines as everyone else...."

Because of Todoroki Shoto's opening remarks, Midoriya Izuku seemed to have a feeling and muttered to himself that the three people who said similar lines before all ended up losing. This line, "I will not lose to you easily," seemed to be a curse like a flag.

Shoto Todoroki demonstrated his uniqueness from his opening remarks alone, making him arguably the only opponent in this U.A. Sports Meet who could rival Izuku Midoriya. He even avoided making a jinx-like opening statement, so he definitely needs to be dealt with with utmost care and caution.

Are you all ready?

"I'm fine."

"Transform!"

"Standing By"

"Complete"

At midnight, the referee questioned Shoto Todoroki, and after he was ready, Izuku Midoriya also transformed into "Kamen Rider Faiz". Both of them had completed their preparations.

"Game start!"

After the match order was announced, Midnight quickly ran to a distant place to hide. In the match where Shoto instantly killed "Don't Care," the freezing AOE also affected Midnight, and she was almost frozen to death... This was clearly a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, and as the referee, she should protect herself first.

"First and foremost, defense."

After the match began, Shoto Todoroki did not attack immediately. Instead, he stomped on the ground, and a thick ice wall rose up to form a fortress, protecting Shoto Todoroki from all sides.

"Um?!"

The situation was somewhat unexpected for Izuku Midoriya. He had expected Shoto Todoroki to launch an attack on him, but instead, his opponent first built an ice fortress.

"I told you I would give it my all this time, Midoriya."

Flames erupted on his left palm, allowing Todoroki to unleash a technique he couldn't use before, combining the "burning" and "freezing" abilities.

He uses "freezing" to create an ice wall as a defensive technique to protect himself. However, if he uses the freezing ability alone, Todoroki's body temperature will drop. Using his Quirk in a low-temperature environment will quickly reach its limit, and at that time, the freezing ability will actually freeze him.

After flames ignite on his left side, the negative effects of his Ice Quirk are neutralized. The heat from the flames allows Todoroki to maintain his body temperature within a normal range, and without any adverse factors, Todoroki can continuously use his Ice Quirk.

Without considering whether he could defeat Izuku Midoriya outright, Shoto Todoroki opted for a war of attrition, using the Ice Wall Fortress to ensure his own safety. Without the negative effects of his Quirk, Todoroki's sustained combat ability is quite strong.

"Take this, Midoriya!"

Surrounded by layers of ice walls, Todoroki crouched down, pressing his right hand to the ground. Activating his "Freeze" Quirk with his hand was far more accurate than releasing it with his feet, and he launched his attack.

The frost path that spread from the arena floor produced ice pillars that surged towards Izuku Midoriya, like spears in an army raid.

Knowing how powerful Kamen Rider Faiz's defense is, Shoto Todoroki doesn't care about using some high-damage attacks, since such tricks are not very useful against an opponent like himself.

With a wave of his hand and a punch, he easily broke all the ice pillars attacking him. Kamen Rider Faiz's strength is not too difficult to dismantle a tank with his bare hands, let alone fragile ice pillars. But Todoroki's attack did not stop. Immediately afterwards, two more ice paths spread out and ice pillars continued to attack his opponent.

"Are you going to employ positional warfare, constantly wearing me down with attacks...?"

While pondering the tactics used by Shoto Todoroki, Izuku Midoriya slowly approached Todoroki's location while continuously breaking up the ice pillars, creating a scene reminiscent of cutting through thorns to clear a path.

"The 'Accelerated Form' has seven seconds remaining; use it at the crucial moment."

Unlike the battle between Iida Tenya, Midoriya's duel with Todoroki Shoto was not decided by "speed". Using his trump card move rashly would be a waste. He had to wait for the most critical moment and the right opportunity to use it.

"This is amazing! Todoroki and Midoriya are showing equally strong abilities. Who will win this match?"

Commentator Mike's explanation was so vague that even this professional commentator couldn't understand the situation at this point, and he could only resort to such bluffing explanations.

Unlike previous matches, neither of them held a significant advantage or disadvantage in the finals. Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki, the two strongest fighters, were evenly matched and engaged in a fierce battle on the stage. The audience dared not blink for fear of missing a moment of excitement.

"Cooked...."

Seeing his son fight with all his might but still fail to gain the upper hand, Endeavor was deeply discouraged. What was the point of his actions, which he believed in and even at the cost of hurting his family?

"You think Midoriya is stronger than we imagined, don't you, Endeavor?"

"Olmay...who are you?"

When Endeavor heard that familiar, disgusted tone, he turned his head away in annoyance, intending to give that guy a hard time, only to find that a complete stranger was standing next to him.

"Ah? I'm a teacher at U.A. High School. It's nice to see you, Endeavor, the No.2 hero!"

All Might only realized he was in his true form when he blurted out those words; it would be a miracle if anyone could recognize him without his hero form.

"Hmph! Just as annoying as that guy..."

The short-tempered Endeavor turned and left, looking for a quiet place to watch the match, so as not to be disturbed by some strange guys.

"Cough cough..."

Having lost his composure, All Might could only focus on watching the match in the ring; for now, he should just watch the game properly.

Izuku Midoriya never stopped moving as he carved a path through the icy obstacles that kept attacking him, clearing a way to Shoto Todoroki's location.

"A single attack cannot pose a threat to Midoriya, but I have been prepared for this long period of time."

He protected himself with thick ice walls and used ice pillars to delay his opponent's advance. Todoroki had been preparing for this attack, and now all his work was done.

"This is!"

At this moment, Izuku Midoriya noticed that the ice wall protecting Shoto Todoroki had changed. This thick ice fortress now occupied half of the entire arena. As Todoroki continued to launch attacks, he reinforced and expanded the defenses protecting him, but all of this was not to cover himself.

"Using the rules of a ring match doesn't necessarily mean you have to defeat your opponent!"

"Tsk... I can't believe they can do that."

Izuku Midoriya was speechless. He really hadn't expected Shoto Todoroki to be able to use such an attack. It was too unexpected and he hadn't expected it at all.

The battering ram can be described as creating a thick barrier on the arena by using "freezing," covering the entire width of the arena, leaving nowhere to hide... The only way to avoid this attack is to leap into the air or leave the arena, but neither is possible.

Izuku Midoriya can't fly when he transforms into Kamen Rider Faiz, and leaving the ring area means he's lost the match—that goes without saying.

"Take this, Midoriya!"

With a loud shout, the "Freeze" ability was once again released beyond its limit. This time, dozens of giant ice pillars were created around him and pushed forward, forcing the siege ice hammer in front of him off the arena.

"This is going to be difficult!"

Looking at the massive ice wall in front of him, which was thirty meters high and at least ten meters thick, it was impossible to climb over such an obstacle, and there was little hope of breaking it either. As the space in the arena occupied by Izuku Midoriya was getting smaller and smaller, he was about to be pushed down.

"Exceed Charge"

The FAIZ belt was activated, and a command voice sounded. Izuku Midoriya squatted down and assumed a position.

"Then let's just kick it right through!"

Without hesitation, Kamen Rider Faiz ran toward the thick ice wall that was about to reach him. He stood up, jumped, rolled in the air, adjusted his posture, and kicked the obstacle in front of him with all his might.

"Crimson Electric Drill"

A crimson energy drill appeared, forming on Izuku Midoriya's feet. Kamen Rider Faiz's special move was unleashed. The energy drill collided with the ice wall barrier, and in an instant, Izuku Midoriya was already behind the arena. Not only was a large hole kicked through the ice wall behind him, but after the warning symbol appeared, the energy of the "Crimson Drill" pierced through the entire ice wall barrier, and it was shattered into ice shards scattered all over the ground.

"Amazing! Is this Kamen Rider Faiz's special move? It's said that he doesn't use it easily when fighting enemies, and only occasionally uses it against powerful foes."

Before Izuku Midoriya could even speak, commentator Mike couldn't wait to explain that during the ten months of hero activities with All Might, Izuku Midoriya had used the "Crimson Drill" a few times when he transformed into Kamen Rider Faiz. However, he only used this special move to quickly end the battle when he was sure that the enemy he was dealing with had a special "Quirk" that would not die from this ultimate move.

As the audience gasped in amazement, Izuku Midoriya arrived in front of Shoto Todoroki. Todoroki was still panting heavily from the strain of unleashing his ultimate attack.

"Hong, it seems your attack didn't have much effect."

"No... that's enough for me."

To Izuku Midoriya's surprise, he then saw flames blazing on Todoroki Shoto's left hand. Unlike before, when it was used to maintain body temperature, Todoroki was now using his "Flame" Quirk to its fullest extent.

"After our battle after enrolling, I knew this method wouldn't work against you, so now is the time for my attack."

"Low temperature... cold air!"

Seeing the flames burning on Todoroki Shoto's left hand, Midoriya Izuku realized what his opponent was planning, but it was too late.

"That's right, but be careful not to fall off the ring."

It was meant as a well-intentioned instruction, but Todoroki's actions showed no mercy whatsoever. He unleashed the full power of the flames in his left hand, causing the temperature on the arena to rise rapidly.

The wind picked up... A hurricane, created by the convection of cold and warm air, appeared!

Everything was in preparation for this moment. The "Freeze" technique was used repeatedly to lower the temperature of the ring and the entire U.A. Stadium. When the ice wall obstacle was shattered by Izuku Midoriya, the temperature on the ring was almost like that of a cold winter.

Heating instantly raises the temperature of the cold air. The collision and convergence of hot and cold convection create a situation similar to a typhoon making landfall, where even cars and trees are torn apart and swept away by a hurricane.

"Oh no! Everyone, please hold on tight to the handrails next to you immediately!!"

Sensing something was wrong, Mike quickly shouted to the audience to take precautions, as something deadly was about to appear.

"Fortify the defenses, quickly!"

The cement worker on the other side quickly built a defensive wall to block the hurricane, and Midnight fled the scene as if her life depended on it, otherwise she herself would probably have been blown away.

"Hey, hey, hey... these two kids have gone too far!"

He immediately ran towards the empty passage, and after transforming into his hero form, All Might rushed towards the center of the sports arena.

"I'm ready, are you?"

Thick ice froze on the arena, immobilizing Todoroki Shoto, and then a hurricane of hot and cold convection erupted.

"Wow, that's amazing, Hong-kun..."

Before Izuku Midoriya could even utter those words, a terrifying hurricane began to howl and rage across the entire arena, just like when a typhoon strikes. Everything seemed insignificant and pathetic. This was the kind of situation that resembles a natural disaster, and this was Todoroki Shoto's ultimate move that truly determined the outcome of the battle.

The defensive wall created by Teacher Cement was directly destroyed, just as the audience was about to be swept away by the hurricane.

“Detroit Smash!”

All Might leaped onto the ring in time, using the force of his "One For All" punch to suppress the hurricane's fury; otherwise, it would have been a disaster if the spectators had been swept away.

"Is it... All Might?"

"He shielded us from the strong winds!"

"My God, what on earth just happened?!"

..........

The terrified audience members were just there to watch a match; did it have to be this dangerous? This scene, resembling a natural disaster, was terrifying even for enemies. This year's U.A. High School students were far too frightening.

"All Might... Shoto!"

Turning his gaze away from the man he cared about, Endeavor stared intently at the indistinct ring, the father still deeply worried about his son's condition.

"Midori, are you alright?"

All Might was also watching the arena with great tension; to be honest, he was very worried about Izuku Midoriya's condition.

The smoke and dust stirred up by the terrifying hurricane have now enveloped the entire arena, making it impossible for anyone to see what's happening inside.

"Cough cough... Coughing from the smoke and dust, Todoroki Shoto released the ice that had been holding him in place and stood on the ring, swaying a little."

Although he had secured himself firmly with ice, the immense pressure at the center of the hurricane left him feeling extremely unwell, even though he wasn't blown away or thrown off the field. He was dizzy, weak, and in great discomfort.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Todoroki Shoto looked around the arena but saw no one. He asked with some disappointment:
