Chapter 48: Chapter 48
David rushed towards Todoroki in full speed and todoroki shot ice towards him. David threw an air punch and shattered it completely. David reached Todoroki and kicked him in the stomach pushing him just close to the border of the ring. The kick wasn't covered in aura but still it was fast and strong enough to make Todoroki cough a little blood and a trail of blood coming from his mouth was visible to the spectators.
'Pushing you out of bounds or even knocking you out won't satisfy me. Making you surrender and making you believe that you will never stand a chance against me is my desired way of victory' David thought as he raised one hand created a purple flame on the open palm.
'What is he trying to do with his fire.' Todoroki thought but suddenly he started noticing change in the flame. The flame which was previously wavy and calm was now getting sharp and agitated. It turned from a flame of a matchstick to that of a blowtorch. Even standing far enough Todoroki could feel a little heat emanating from the flames.
David increased the concentration of fire and aimed his palm just beside Todoroki. A purple beam which was as broad as David's palm was emitted and moving fast towards Todoroki. Todoroki created a wall of ice but the purple beam penetrated it like a hot knife through butter. The next second Todoroki saw that the beam passed from his left side without touching him. But still Todoroki's left arm and left side of face had burns. He saw that the entire audience was silent and looking at him. But after a second he realized that they weren't looking at him but behind him.
Todoroki looked back and his eyes widened. He saw that the point where the beam hit wasn't just destroyed it melted.
"How is this possible that wall was made by cementos and even normal lava can't melt it. Normal stone needs temperature close to 871 degree Celcius and cement needs more than 1400 degree Celcius. If that had even touched Todoroki, he would have died." Momo said shocking her classmates and also the students of other classes who were sitting nearby.
Todoroki was breathing heavily as he couldn't understand how he someone whose quirk is fire could get burns. Then he saw David standing casually and he raised his hand and pinched his fingers created another agitated purple flame on his palms.
'He can create this move more than once?' Todoroki thought. His eyes looked like they were lost but he simply sighed and said "I surrender"
The crowd started cheering and as Midnight announced " The winner of the UA sports festival is DAVID CARTER...!!!"
David went back to his classmates who congratulated him. He saw Iida standing at a distance and talking on the phone and his mood was quite serious but that isn't something new.
'Seems like Stain has done sent Iida's brother to the hospital' David thought. Todoroki was being treated by Himiko Toga who looked like a normal chubby girl. She even got a few proposals from other classes and recovery girl would smack those boys with her cane.
After a few minutes on the 3 rank podium David, Todoroki, and Bakugo were standing. Like the canon Bakugo wasn't in a straight jacket. He was standing calmly while Todoroki looked a bit sad.
"Now that we have our top 3 winners of this year's UA sports festival, to present the award we call our Number 1 hero A..." Midnight was announcing when suddenly All Might landed on the ground.
"I AM HERE and I have the medals for the future heroes." ALL MIGHT said while dangling the 3 medals in front of the spectators.
All Might first put a medal around Bakugo's neck and said "Young Bakugo your tenacity and combat has brought you today to the 3rd position and I am sure in the future you will progress even further than that"
All Might wanted to hug the winners 1 by 1 but he saw all three were students who were the quiet type or the arrogant type especially Bakugo so he just dropped the idea.
Later he moved on towards Todoroki and put a medal around his neck and said "I am happy that you have decided to accept yourself completely in this UA sports festival so I must say you have gained more than anyone today."
Next All Might put a medal around David and said "Young David you have shown performance that has left the spectators as well as us the teachers speechless. I am sure that in the future you will become a pillar of the hero society"
"Along with the medals, the 3 winners will also get a special invite to I-Expo to I-island which will be held 4 months later" Midnight said.
After the award ceremony was finished David met up with James and took a cab home.
"David have you decided which hero agency to join for work experience?" James asked.
"2 days later we will receive the list of agencies that want us, then I'll decide" David said while playing with his medal in his hand.
"Actually the thing is Sir Nighteye wanted to invite you to our agency. What do you think?"
"Tell him to call me and we will talk about it." David said.
"David Sir Nighteye is well respected in the hero community and he even used to be All Might's sidekick. Telling him to call you to invite you seems like a bit much." James didn't like David speaking like this about Nighteye.
"I bet your Sir Nighteye won't think so. Just tell him what I told you and leave the rest to him. Let's go we have reached home." David said as he got out of the cab.
David went to his room to freshen up. When he came out he saw he had 2 missed calls for his Sensei Hiroshi and 1 missed call from Sensei Anko.
He called Hiroshi and his call was picked up at the first ring.
"David congrats on your win but I am mad that you didn't use anything taught by me or Anko." Hiroshi started without even waiting for David to speak. In the past few years, Hiroshi had become close to David more than his own grandchildren and he didn't behave all proud and mighty in front of David.
"You won't call for something like this. Come to dinner with Anko sensei and others. And for the reason why you are calling me...the answer is NO" David said.
"I didn't think you will find out about Ingenium so fast. But why no? He seems like a good addition"
"We'll talk about it after dinner." David said and cut the call.
