don't be a ghost reader, please!....

All of the students moved to the back area of the stadium as they waited to see who they would be fighting in the next round. Once the first round was posted, those who would be fighting looked to see who they would be going against.

Tomomi looked to see that she would be fighting a student named Neito Monoma. She had a feeling of who he was. The one that was very egotistical during the last game.

"That's the copycat guy." Tokoyami informed, seemingly appearing out of no where. "Blonde guy, Best Jeanist wannabe."

Tomomi looked across the room of students to see who he was talking about. It was like he had a permanent smirk on his calm looking face. She definitely remembered who he was. But she never underestimated any of her opponents.

"How'd you get this information?" She asked her bird head friend.

Tokoyami closed his eyes and crossed his arms. "Your boyfriend wouldn't stop yelling about him."

Tomomi blushed and looked at him shocked by his teasing. "K-Katsuki-chan isn't my boyfriend!"

"I'm sorry, your guard dog." He teased more, looking at her with a humorous smirk. Tomomi blushed even harder, playfully glaring at him.

"Shut up!" She exclaimed, ducking her head lower. Tokoyami smirked and pat the top of her head gently.

"So this is the famous Tomomi Todoroki?" A voice interrupted their banters, causing them to turn to see none other than Neito Monoma standing there with a self praising smirk.

Tomomi faced him with a cold and emotionless stare while Tokoyami stood next to her. Their exchange gathered everyone's attention in the room.

"I've heard so much about you from others and I must say....I am impressed by your power." He said, walking closer to her, surveying her entire being.

Tomomi stood back, feeling slightly agitated by his closeness and lack of believing in personal space. Tokoyami protectively stood a little in front of her, not liking this guy at all.

"No matter," Monoma said leaning back. "You Class A students just think you're all that, huh? Someone has never humbled any of you yet and it's time we do so."

Tomomi glared at him as he continued his condescending ranting. Shinsou looked on from afar with curious eyes as he watched the ice wielder get angry. This ought to be interesting, he thought as he watched on.

"Especially you, Miss Todoroki." Monoma said, pointing at her with that permanent smirk. "One would think that almost dying by the hands of a villain would keep you and your class grounded but I see it only boosted your egos, huh? As impressive as your quirk is, it only seems like you're just a pretty face."

"Watch what the hell you say, you wannabe prince charming bitch!" Bakugou, suddenly appearing behind her, growled angrily. "You don't know a damn thing about what happened to her and you don't know a damn thing about our class!"

Unfazed by his tone, Monoma continued on with his insulting rant. "I do know that you all got lucky after that attack. Just like Miss Todoroki, here. She got lucky....And here I thought there was going to be a a steep competition but luck won't help you win against me."

Tomomi said nothing as she glared even harder at him. Her eyes started glowing a little as the entire room turned noticeably cold. So cold, that everyone began shivering.

"Did it suddenly get cold now?" A student from 1-B asked, rubbing his arms.

Shinso raised an eyebrow as he saw Tomomi's eyes get a little brighter than usual. The brighter her eyes got, the colder the room became. He wondered what really happened at the USJ to her to get her this angry when Monoma mentioned it. They said she nearly lost her life but that was all he heard of that. The school wanted to keep the incident under radar as the investigation still went on.

"You can be mad at how Bakugou acted towards you all you want but one thing you won't do is mock Tomo-chan's injury and our class." Kirishima spoke up, glaring at the blonde boy. "You have no idea what happened to us and if you think we wanted this type of attention after almost losing our lives, you and your classmates are dead wrong!"

Tomomi silenced everyone as she suddenly took slow steps towards Monoma. The closer she got, the more everyone got a little nervous. Her eyes were filled with a coldness that rivaled an iceberg. Her face was voided of any emotions and that was what made everyone watch in anticipation and anxiety.

Tomomi stopped right in front of him as he smirked down at her. She looked all over his face and, just like that, she turned and walked out of the room. The coldness lingering with her as she exited the room.

Confused by the action, everyone began muttering and chatting about what just happened. But silenced when Shoto Todoroki walked up Monoma with the same voided look on his face.

"You just made the biggest mistakes of your life." He said, crossing his arms. "You first mistake, Monoma, was pissing off my sister. Hell freezes over when she's mad and you're not ready for the raging blizzard she's about to deliver to you."

"Haha! Monoma's gonna get cruuuushed~" Denki laughed at him, almost feeling bad for him. Almost.

"And I'll be watching with a smile," Shoto said, flashing Monoma a smirk before walking away from him.

Shinso's interest in the young girl peaked as he watched the entire exchange. It made him very curious as to why she was so special to Class A. So, he decided to find out for himself.

Angrier than she has ever been, Tomomi walked down the empty hallway as the mini games continued on. Not interested in participating, Tomomi wanted to be left alone. What Monoma said to her did her a little, she will admit. But what got her angry was the fact that he was right. She did get lucky in that Villain attack. She was still a novice and she hated it.

She had spent all of her life preparing to be the best like her father wanted her to be and yet, she had been surviving on pure luck. It burned her to feel that way.

"Hey," a voice broke her out of her thoughts. She turned to see that guy from Class C. Shinsou, she remembered his name was. That's who Midoriya was fighting in the first rounds. He walked over to her and leaned next to her on the wall with his hands in his pockets.

"Hello," She greeted, slightly confused and wary of his presence. Sensing her emotions, Shinsou lifted his hands in defense. "Don't worry, Icicle, I only want to talk."

"About what?"

"Well, for one, that little display of emotions back there." He replied, shoving his hands back in his pockets. "He really did a number on you, huh?"

Tomomi frowned at him. Was he really here just to gloat or something? "Are you here to talk or insult me? If for the second option, then it is best that you stay out of my way."

Shinsou saw that he pushed a button. Letting him know that she wasn't as blocked away from others as she seemed. But he didn't want to make her mad. He genuinely wanted to talk to her. "Look, I'm sorry if I insulted you. I just wanted to talk."

"You have yet to tell me what it is that you have to say." She replied back, looking at him deadpanned.

"I just wanted to say, don't listen to that Grade A asshole." He said, noting the shocked look in her pretty light blue eyes. "He may think he's the one that will humble your class or whatever but....really, he's only a carbon copy of whoever he faces."

To say she was pleasantly surprised by his words was an understatement. Though, why was he doing this when he, himself, didn't like her classmates was the real question. There had to be a catch.

"I appreciate the concern but, why are you even telling me this?" She asked. "Why are you even here if you do not like me or my classmates?"

Shinsou shrugged, looking at her with his dark eyes. "Maybe I just don't like Monoma.....Maybe I find you cute or maybe I do like you more than I like your classmates."

Tomomi blushed pink at his words but paid no attention to his compliments or teasing. Besides, whether she know it or not, her attention was elsewhere and not on him.

"Monoma talks a lot of crap for someone who can only copy people's quirks by touching them." Shinsou explained. "But I'll let you in on a secret that no one else knows......He can only copy the quirk to an extent. He can do only one dimensional attacks with the copied quirk. Anything else beyond that, he's useless."

Tomomi thought about it. Every person has limits to their quirk, no matter how powerful and how much they could utilize it. It took Tomomi years to figure out all of the things she could do with her quirk. Shoto was a one dimensional fighter because he practiced with both ice and fire.

Which would be easy for Monoma to copy and win if the fighter was a one dimensional user. Not likely because Shoto was even more utilized with his powers than anyone thought. But Tomomi was grouped into the people who were multi-dimensional with their powers because she figured out ways to extend it.

Monoma could only copy the first layer of the quirk, not the rest. Assuming if he could even touch her, that is.

"I'm telling you this because someone ought to shut him up for good and that someone might as well be you." Shinsou said, looking off in to nothing. "Because I know you can beat that guy easily. Good luck, princess."

With that, Shinsou started walking away, leaving her to watch him leave. She smiled slightly as she looked on. For a biased and lazy looking gentleman, he was somewhat kind and informative. She was grateful for his words, that's for sure.

Aww, Shinsou likes
Tomomi. This is turning
into a harem for her, lol....

But who doesn't love
a bit of competition for
Bakugou? That's what
makes a good story.
