      Here it was. The day has finally came. After a long week of school and a weekend of training with Shoto, Tomomi felt ready for anything the morning of the Sports Festival. Over the weekend, the twins trained together from sunrise to nightfall, wanting to be perfect for this game. And although Tomomi believed in good sportsmanship, she was a very competitive girl.

    While Tomomi walked into school with good spirits, Shoto could only think of one thing at the moment. And that was to be the best. And he was determined to do that without using his fire quirk. He wanted to show his father that he didn't need him or anyone else. He was going to be the best on his own terms.

    "Man....I wanted to wear my costume." A student pouted, hating that he had to wear the school's gym clothes.

  "To keep everything fair, we can't."

   Tomomi and Shoto walked into the classroom already dressed when Shoto spotted Midoriya. Tomomi watched as he frowned and decided to walk over to the green haired boy.

   "What are you doing, Shoto?" Tomomi whispered worriedly as she watched the entire scene.

   "Midoriya." He called, gaining his attention.

    "What is it, Todoroki?"

    "Looking at things objectively, I think I'm stronger than you." Shoto replied bluntly, glaring at him. Which scared Midoriya and anyone else that had been paying attention.

    "But.....All Might has an eye on you, doesn't he?" He asked out sheepishly, growing nervous the more Shoto distastefully stared at him with that scary look in his eyes.

    "I'm not trying to pry about that, but we will beat you." Shoto concluded, still staring at him with an icy glare.

    Tomomi could tell Midoriya was scared of her brother so she quickly walked over to them. She placed a hand on his shoulder and gave Midoriya an apologetic look. "My apologies, Midoriya. May the best student win."

    Before he could give his own encouragement, Shoto scoffed, "We're not here to play at being friends, Tomomi." The way he sort of snapped at his own sister threw the green haired boy all off and, admittedly, it threw everyone else off as well.

    Anytime anyone saw the twins together, Shoto was so nice to her and cared for her. To see him snap at his own sister was a shocker. But Tomomi didn't look fazed by it at all. In fact, she looked like she's dealt with this before.

    Tomomi sighed. She wished he didn't let what father said get to his head. She wished she didn't listen, either. It was nerve-wrecking but she was determined to show how good of a fighter she really is.

    With one last apologetic look, Tomomi turned to walk away from the two. If Shoto wanted to be like that, so be it. He wasn't going to get in her way of winning.

    "You can definitely tell which twin is the nicer one." Denki whispered. "While Shoto seems like he hates everyone and everything, Tomo-chan is very cordial and regal. But looking at her, no one could tell at first glance."

   "Because when she isn't smiling or with friends, she always has this cold look on her face." Kirishima agreed, looking over at the twins. "Their personalities really do differ but are the same, I see."

    He remembered the first hero training they had. When she was facing off Bakugou. The look in her eyes just screamed stoicism. It threw him all off when he first talked to her and realized how nice she really was. It was crazy. He had no doubt that if anyone would get first place in any of the rounds, she would. And so would Shoto.

    The stadium erupted in cheers as the festival began. Present Mic started shouting encouragements and telling everyone in attendance and those watching at him about the festival and the classes.

   "IT'S TIME FOR THE STUDENTS TO ENTER THE FIRST YEAR STAGE!"

   Everyone cheered as the class of 1-A entered the stadium and walked over to the stage. They were the most watched class because of the recent attack on them. The heroes all surveyed the class and began talking about each of the students. They conversed about each student carefully until they came across Tomomi.

   "I'll say, Endeavor sure knows how to breed 'em." Hawks commented, looking right at the twins. "She's the one that faired well with a villain?"

    "That's what Aizawa and Thirteen said." Miruko replied, looking at her curiously. When she found out about Tomomi Todoroki and how she nearly died fighting a villain by herself, she began to be curious about her. There was something truly special about that girl.

    After the other classes made it to center stage, Midnight, the R-Rated Hero, walked on stage in a revealing hero costume. And of course, most of the boys were heart eyes. But none more than Mineta, which made Tomomi sneer at him in disgust. Also, she was sitting in between him and Tokoyami.

    "Quiet, everyone!" She said in the mic. "Representing the students of 1-A is.......Todoroki Tomomi!"

    Shocked as the audience cheered. All eyes were on her as she calmly stood. She took deep breaths as she made her way to the stage and stood in front of the mic. On the outside, she was emotionless but on the inside, she was a nervous wreck. Having this many people watch her, she didn't know if she was prepared for that. But be that as it may, she had to push those feelings aside and show the other class that she was strong.

    "Thank you for picking me." She thanked Midnight. "As a representative of Class 1-A, I will wholeheartedly wish the other classes the best of luck and I hope we all can do our best. We pledge to try our hardest and do our best out there."

    She fininshed with a closed eye smile, making a few boys swoon dreamily at her as the crowd cheered her on for her good sportsmanship. "Hey, shouldn't someone who took the exams be a rep?" Denki slurred as he stared at Tomomi with love in his eyes.

   "Who cares.....She's perfect." Sero followed along, smiling like a goof at her. "Would you rather have someone like  Bakugou up there? No doubt, he would mess it up for us all. He already made all of the other classes hate us, why add on to it?" 

   "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN, TAPE BOY!?" Bakugou growled angrily at him.

   Tomomi made her way back to her seat as Midnight announced the first round. "Now, let's start right away!" She announced. "Now, here is the fateful first game!"

   The screen revealed their first game. Obstacle Race. Tomomi and Shoto looked at each other as Midnight explained the rules.

    "All 11 classes will participate in this race. This course will be the outer circumference of this stadium, about four kilometers! Our school's selling point is freedom! As long as you stay on the course, it doesn't matter what you do!"

    Tomomi smirked slightly. This should be fun.

   "Now, take your places, everyone!"

    All of the students took their place at the starting line, waiting for the race to start. Tomomi took a deep breath and looked up to see Endeavor looking down at them with a condescending look in his eyes. She hated that look with a burning passion. So she ignored him and focused on winning.

   "START!"

   The race has started. All students took off running, fighting to be the first to win. Shoto and Tomomi were neck at neck as they ice surfed through the tunnel. The twins exchanged looks to each other as they both wanted to be the first ones to the first obstacle.

    "LOOKS LIKE CLASS 1-A'S VERY OWN TODOROKI TWINS, THE ELEGANT AND REGAL TOMOMI AND THE PRODIGY SHOTO, ARE BOTH FIGHTING FOR THE FIRST PLACE SPOT!"

   "I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY!" Bakugou yelled angrily at the two as he was not too far behind them.

   "You'll have to catch up first, Katsuki-chan." Tomomi mumbled, noticing a group of robots coming towards them.

     Here's the first obstacle. "OBSTACLES HAVE SHOWN UP SUDDENLY! STARTING WITH THE BARRIER!"

    "So this is what they used in the general entrance exams?" Shoto asked, stopping in his tracks. Tomomi stopping right next to him.

    "Appears so." She said, sticking out her hand to her brother. Shoto looked down at her hand in confusion before she looked at him. "The stupid old man is watching, let's give him something to watch."

    Shoto finally understood what she was doing and decided a temporary team up is necessary for now. "Just remember, I plan on winning." He said, waving his hand over hers, making ice shards slowly circle in between their hands.

    "You remember, I'm the better ice quirk." She replied back, as ice began forming around their hands in very solid glove.

   The twins both ran at top speed with their fists ready to break down the robots. They collided with the huge robot, punching a hole through it and soon, they mowed through the other robots together. The move astonished the audience and the other students.

    "THE TODOROKI TWINS FROM CLASS 1-A MOWED THROUGH THE ROBOTS IN ONE CRITICAL MOVE!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY OF STRENGTH AND SKILL!!"

   "TOMOMI TODOROKI ELEGANTLY FREEZES THE ROBOTS AND CRUSH THEM LIKE IT'S NOTHING!!!"

    "The twins seem to bounce off each other perfectly." Aizawa commented, looking at the two. "From what I have seen, both Shoto and Tomomi, though one with two elements and the other with one, balance each other very elegantly. If this were a team effort, they would surely have this race in the bag."

The second obstacle came and they had to either jump through the trees or slide under. Either way, they had to stay within the course. The twins stopped for a moment. Tomomi looked up and began brain storming as she heard her classmates and other students closely behind.

   Shoto flashed her a smirk as he began sliding under with his ice while Tomomi threw her hands  to the side and boosted herself upwards, jumping from rock to rock as ice was used to help her stay airborne and not fall. 

   "Miss Todoroki is certainly the more regal one out of the twins." Mountain Lady commented, impressed by her flips and elegant movement. "The way she is utilizing her ice to do more movements is fascinating."

    "As expected from a recommendation students." Snipe added.

   "Tomomi has always been my most elegant student." Aizawa said. "From day one, I knew she was more intricate but more skilled with her quirk than Shoto is when he uses ice. While Shoto is definitely more tactical and skillful at combat, Tomomi executes battle strategy effortlessly."

    "It appears she has a natural fight or flight tick." Midnight pointed out.

   Miruko said nothing as she stared at the teenager intently. Yeah, she was definitely interested in Tomomi and she wanted to see if she could keep her interest.

     The next obstacle was Minefield. Still a neck and neck, Tomomi and Shoto stopped. "It'd be stupid to use our quirks." She strategized. "Not unless we want to be blown to bits. This one, we have to think carefully, not recklessly."

    "That could be a problem." Shoto pointed out, hearing an explosion behind them. Before Tomomi could ask what he meant, Bakugou run past them, aiming a blast at Shoto. Which almost hit the both of them had not Tomomi and Shoto dodged it.

    "BASTARD, DON'T DECLARE WAR ON THE WRONG PERSON."

    "AND NOW, WE'VE GOT SOMEONE NEW IN THE LEAD!"

    Tomomi felt anger rise in her veins as she then heard another boom behind them, while those two kept shoving each other. She looked to see Midoriya running at a inhuman speed level. Making the two boys go after him.

    Tomomi frowned. If she wasn't going to be first place, she sure as hell was going to make second. Because both Shoto and Bakugou were acting like stupid imbeciles.

     So quickly catching up to Midoriya, Tomomi gathered ice and boosted both herself and Midoriya further ahead of them, shocking everyone.

    "IT APPEARS THAT THE ICE EMPERESS TOMOMI TODOROKI HAS BOOSTED BOTH HERSELF AND YOUNG MIDORIYA AHEAD OF THE RACE!!!"

       "ERASER HEAD, YOUR CLASS IS AMAZING!" Present Mic shouted, too loudly for Aizawa's liking. Considering he was standing right next to him.

     "Seems like she's demonstrating  that battle strategy skill." He only said, paying more attention to the race.

      In the end, Midoriya made it back as first place, making everyone cheer him on. Tomomi slide into the stadium, claiming the second place spot.

     The stadium cheered on loudly as Tomomi smiled to herself. She may not have gotten first place but she was happy that someone as deserving as Midoriya claimed it. She could tell this meant a lot to him and, as much as she wanted to prove something to herself, she remembered that there are others who don't have that advantage.

    Knowing his secret, she was proud to see how hard Midoriya worked for this.

   "Y-You could've won." Midoriya stuttered out, still stunned that Tomomi helped him win. "You could have easily passed me and take the first place.....But you didn't.....why?"

   "Because I believe in you, Midoriya." She said kindly, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "Now I want you to believe in yourself and win at your best."

   Midoriya stared at her with wide eyes. He was feeling a lot of things at the moment. But gratitude was the one thing he felt the most. And he could not thank her enough for believing in him as much as she has shown. Tomomi was truly a gem and a great friend.

    With a big smile, he made a promise to always do his best in the festival and he always kept his promise.

There's gonna be a lot
of familial drama and
friendship drama in the
festival because of the
choices Tomomi make.

So buckle up and get
ready for the stressful
rollercoaster you're about
to go through.

I'm so sorry in advance.
