"I'm sorry, but I still have to thank you, Midoriya. Thanks to you, that guy's looking pretty unhappy. Your hands can't fight anymore, right? Let me end this match."

After he finished speaking, another terrifying block of ice fiercely attacked Izuku Midoriya.

His gaze didn't even focus on this sure-to-lose target, but instead, he glared hatefully at Endeavor.

But...

"Where are you looking?"

Midoriya roared ferociously, pulling Todoroki's attention back.

His swollen hand unleashed a second Smash!

"What?"

The moment Todoroki snapped back to reality, his body was sent flying backward. Fortunately, he managed to avoid flying completely out of the arena by using continuously appearing ice blocks.

"Cough, cough, you bastard... using your injured fingers." Shoto Todoroki slowly stood up from the ice. "Why are you pushing yourself this hard?"

Izuku Midoriya tremblingly raised his battered hands, his clenched teeth chattering from the pain.

But he still coldly questioned:

"You're trembling, aren't you, Todoroki? Your body must have a limit to its freezing, right? So... if you just used your left side's burning ability, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

As he questioned, Shoto Todoroki's expression shifted slightly.

"To get closer to your goal, to win, everyone is giving their all. And you're delusional enough to think you can win with only half your power? Do you know... compared to her, the effort I'm putting in right now... and the pain, isn't even a tenth of hers."

After speaking, his injured right arm clenched into a fist amidst the pain.

"Her..." Shoto Todoroki frowned.

"Are they talking about me?"

Yukino's eyelids twitched. She roughly understood what Midoriya's gaze meant.

It made sense. When a beautiful, delicate girl hides in a lonely corner every day, enduring pain alone, shedding tears while gritting her teeth to persevere – such a contrast would deeply move anyone, even herself.

Yukino's image was too deeply ingrained in people's minds. And Izuku Midoriya, who had always aimed to be a hero, must have seen his own reflection in Yukino.

Despite being so heartbreaking, she still faced everyone with a smile.

"It's just... I'm sorry, Izuku Midoriya," Yukino sighed softly. "If you think that way, you're bound to be disappointed. Some aspirations are destined to exist only in fantasy."

Like a butterfly flapping its wings, Su Lin's arrival had, at least in some matters, caused a slight ripple.

But just as she arrived, one day, this young man who controlled many avatars would quietly depart.

His heart had no belonging in this world. While he acknowledged these friends, it didn't mean he would accept their affection.

Not to mention, Su Lin was a man to begin with, so the idea of any gay relationship was impossible.

"This guy... he couldn't possibly still be harboring that... evil thought that getting Su Lin would be like opening up a huge harem, could he?"

Thinking of this, Yukino shivered.

The battle on the field continued, and the audience could no longer hide their shock, watching the scene with rapt attention.

"Why are you going this far?" Shoto Todoroki questioned with a hint of anger.

For the third time, his palm had already deteriorated to the point of being uncontrollable, yet Midoriya still charged fearlessly towards Shoto Todoroki.

"Because I want to become... a cool hero who can respond to others with a smile!"

Bang!

A straight punch landed on Todoroki.

"Your resolve and your experiences are beyond what someone like me can imagine or measure, but... your idea of not going all out to become number one and completely deny your father, in my opinion, is a joke!"

"Isn't that your power too?"

Bang!

Shoto Todoroki was completely knocked to the ground.

Everyone watched this scene nervously for a long, long time...

Until, at a certain moment, Todoroki's left hand ignited with a scorching flame.

Immediately, a surging wave of heat swept across the entire arena, distorting even the air.

"Jumped from the North Pole to the equator," Yukino wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Endeavor's heart soared with joy, and he excitedly walked down the steps. "Todoroki, have you finally accepted your power? Yes, very good. This match will become your new start... continuously surpass me, gain immense power, and realize my ambition!"

A dual onslaught of ice and fire, Midoriya's momentum and Shoto Todoroki's two Quirks clashed in the air. Under the immense pressure, Cementoss quickly controlled cement, generating thick, heavy walls in an attempt to block their attacks.

"Midnight, his body can't take it anymore. Don't let him keep fighting."

It was too late...

An incredibly dazzling light flashed across the scene.

Then...

As if caught in a nuclear blast, five cement walls dozens of meters high, along with the entire arena, instantly collapsed.

The shockwave was powerful enough to blow people away in an instant.

Rocks fell to the ground, and Yukino felt like she was pinned to her chair, unable to open her eyes.

After more than ten seconds, the explosion stopped, leaving only a completely destroyed ring and... rolling smoke and dust.

After a full ten seconds of silence, Mic, who had recovered from the blast, spoke in shock, "What was that, Eraser Head? What kind of monsters are in your class? That destructive power is incredible!"

Yukino, having caught her breath from the aftershock, tidied her clothes and messy black hair, got up from her chair, and quietly left the venue.

Shoto Todoroki had won.

At that moment, Bakugo, watching from the stands, glanced at the distant girl's retreating figure and gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"Hey, hey, Todoroki's so strong, and you're watching Su Lin? Are you serious?" Sero couldn't help but mock.

"You wouldn't understand," Katsuki Bakugo scoffed unhappily. "Who is the real biggest threat..."

pS: Uh... since this morning, quite a few people have posted strange comments and replies (:∠)

For example, in the previous chapter about the world's anchor, a Level 13 Diamond V player said this anchor was a foreshadowing for returning to the U.A. world and having the protagonist marry Izuku. I don't know what you mean, do you want me to write it like that, or are you joking? Anyway, I hesitated for a moment and deleted it directly.

An anchor... is for positioning, not for crossing over. This is a pit I left, understand?

Our protagonist won't fall in love with men, understand?

Isn't it already obvious who the protagonist likes and dislikes from the previous content?

Anyway, my writing state today is extremely poor (there are quite a few similar comments), thankfully it didn't affect the update.

pS2: Some comments were deleted with the original owner's consent, including one from this afternoon. If you see it disappear, please don't worry.

Chapter 47 only contained a bucket of water.

The final qualifiers for the second round were Su Lin, Katsuki Bakugo, Fumikage Tokoyami, and Shoto Todoroki.

Next up was the match between Su Lin and Bakugo. Although it seemed calm on the surface, Bakugo wasn't in the best state of mind.

This was because Su Lin had always given the impression of being an outlier to the rest of the class.

While everyone discussed the strength of the recommended student Shoto Todoroki as being the strongest, they would silently add: except for that guy.

During the short break, Yukino left her seat. She planned to clarify something with Izuku Midoriya, to make him understand: there was no possibility between them.

However, halfway there, she suddenly felt it would be better to tell him after Izuku had recovered from his injuries.

Getting too upset at a time like this might lead to immediate death.

"There are only two matches left. I need to create a landmark... event in this world."

She had thought about it for a long time. Should she activate her Noble Phantasm during the finals to showcase her oppressive power?

But if she just did that, it wouldn't be very useful, would it?

"Whatever, I'll fight Bakugo first."

Yukino quickly made her way to the arena through the special passage.

Opposite her stood Bakugo, already in his designated position. That infuriating spiky hair and monkey-like face already made Yukino feel countless urges to beat him up.

"Hey, give me your full power when you fight," Bakugo impatiently yelled at Yukino even before the match began. "I don't want to face someone holding back when I'm fighting for first place. I want a true... undisputed, overwhelming first place!"

He clapped his hands together, and a burst of explosive flame flashed.

A gust of wind happened to blow by, and Yukino's long hair and skirt once again fluttered in the breeze.

"Do you think I would be standing here with my avatar if I didn't take you seriously?" Yukino stated truthfully. "Of course, it's because... I value you enough."

If it were just her main body, she might not even be able to escape the coverage of Bakugo's attacks.

She didn't want her main body to suffer even the slightest damage, even with Recovery Girl's healing.

"Hey, Everybody!"

"The highly anticipated U.A. Sports Festival's second-to-last match, the first of the so-called semifinals, is about to begin."

"Hero Course Katsuki Bakugo versus Hero Course Su Lin. Without further ado... Start!"

"Give me your all."

The moment the match began, Bakugo charged towards Yukino at maximum speed.

The distance between them closed rapidly, and a Super Explosion erupted from his palm.

"Take this!"

Boom—

"What? Bakugo is using an incredible explosion right from the start. Does he think his opponent can withstand such an attack?"

The expanding fireball flashed with light, and the scene was instantly blinding as if the sun had been lit, followed by smoke and dust surging to cover the entire venue.

When the smoke cleared, Bakugo's expression changed slightly.

A girl with golden hair stood before him, unharmed, holding a magnificent sword.

"Hey, what's going on, a new avatar? Unscathed after taking an explosion, cute Su Lin, you've given us too many surprises, haven't you?" Mic leaned his entire body forward against the glass, while Aizawa beside him shot him an annoyed glance.

Mr. Aizawa really wanted to find an opportunity to say a few words, but this guy had been talking non-stop from beginning to end, hardly giving him any chance to speak.

In the audience, many ordinary citizens and heroes also began to discuss enthusiastically.

"This must be the third avatar, each with a different aura. They'd be considered top beauties anywhere."

"Why do I feel like that guy is more attractive to men than women themselves? After all, no one person can transform into so many stunning beauties."

"So, could this guy be the strongest?"

"This year's U.A. has produced quite a few monsters."

"Haha, you've finally brought out your ultimate move." A hint of excitement immediately appeared in Bakugo's twisted expression, and his whole body suspended in the air again, approaching with exaggerated speed.

He was perhaps the most skilled fighter among all the students in Class A. As he got close, he controlled his explosions with his arms to perform a 180-degree flip, and then...

"Howitzer Impact!"

The true ultimate move was unleashed!

It was almost at Katsuki Bakugo's current limit, using all his stored energy.

"What, Katsuki Bakugo used an even stronger move than before. He's been attacking his opponent with full power almost from the start."

Rumble—

Truly high explosives!

His body instantly retreated, dodging the most core area of the explosion. Even with X's current integrated spiritual foundation physique, he could feel the danger.
