"I can still put up a fight."
Midoriya managed to put up a grin on his face as he and Nensu came face to face. His eyes observed her as she spoke. Even if she had top-notch firepower of the whole hero course, she couldn't last forever. There were evident signs that she was reaching her limit- her right side had traces of frost growing on it. The more she used her ice she got colder, apparently. It gave him a spark of hope-but he doubted he could last longer. His right hand was aching badly, and he doubted if he could fight with such arm. And up close he couldn't use One for All at all. He still had little control over it after all the time spent. Only twice did he have control-when he used it at the giant villain back at USJ, and when he swung his arm at Shoto back at the cavalry battle. Still, the chances were too small to try now.

A flaming man walked forward at the heroes' seats. He has been eyeing two particular students the whole time. Endeavor, the father of the two Todoroki's of class 1-A. He was always eager to see them grow stronger- they were his trump card to go beyond All Might after all. If not himself then his children. His face was full with a wide grin. Nensu had grown stronger, if not the same.
"EXCELLENT, NENSU! PERFECT SKILLS TO GO BEYOND MYSELF, AND EVEN ALL MIGHT!"
He yelled out, his beard flaming with himself.
