"AND WE ARE BACK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" Present Mic's voice, somehow even louder than before, washed over the cheering stadium. "THE QUARTER-FINALS GAVE US SOME OF THE MOST INTENSE ACTION I'VE EVER SEEN, BUT IT'S TIME TO KICK IT UP ANOTHER NOTCH! IT'S TIME FOR THE SEMI-FINALS!"

The giant screen at the center of the field lit up, displaying the faces of the final four.

"OUR FIRST SEMI-FINAL MATCH WILL BE A TRUE CLASH OF STYLES! THE EXPLOSIVE DYNAMO, KATSUKI BAKUGO! VERSUS THE RABBIT-FOOTED BRAWLER, RUMI USAGIYAMA!"

"AND OUR SECOND MATCH! A BATTLE THAT COULD VERY WELL DECIDE THE ENTIRE FESTIVAL! THE MASTER OF ALL TRADES, AKAZA! VERSUS THE PRINCE OF FIRE AND ICE, SHOTO TODOROKI!"

"THIS IS IT, FOLKS! THE CLIMAX IS ALMOST HERE! LET'S GET OUR FIRST FIGHTERS TO THE STAGE!"

"ENTERING THE ARENA! HE'S BLASTED HIS WAY THROUGH THE COMPETITION WITH UNRELENTING POWER AND AGGRESSION! FROM CLASS 1-A, KATSUKI BAKUGO!"

Bakugo walked onto the stage, his hands shoved in his pockets, a predatory grin on his face. He looked completely confident, his eyes already locked on his opponent.

"AND HIS OPPONENT! SHE'S A BLUR OF WHITE LIGHTNING, KICKING HER WAY TO THE TOP WITH UNBELIEVABLE SPEED! ALSO FROM CLASS 1-A, RUMI USAGIYAMA!"

Rumi bounced onto the stage, her energy infectious. She met Bakugo's grin with a feral one of her own. This was the fight she'd been waiting for.

"LET THE FIRST SEMI-FINAL MATCH… BEGIN!"

Bakugo didn't hesitate. He shot forward, using a series of small, precise explosions to propel himself in a zigzag pattern, making his approach unpredictable. "SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT, EARS!" he roared, unleashing a powerful right-handed blast.

"AND BAKUGO OPENS WITH AN IMMEDIATE, EXPLOSIVE ASSAULT! HOW WILL USAGIYAMA COUNTER HIS ERRATIC MOVEMENT?"

Rumi stood her ground. As the explosion rushed towards her, she didn't dodge. Instead, she moved with a strange, fluid grace. She swept her leg in a low, circular motion, kicking not at the explosion, but at the air just beneath it. The motion was like flowing water, redirecting the blast's force upwards and away from her, where it detonated harmlessly.

Bakugo's eyes widened in shock. That wasn't her style. She was supposed to meet him head-on.

He changed tactics, using his explosions to launch himself into the air, coming down with an overhead strike. Rumi again used her leg, this time in a rising arc, to parry his arm, deflecting his trajectory and sending him skidding past her.

"INCREDIBLE! USAGIYAMA ISN'T DODGING, SHE'S DEFLECTING! SHE'S USING BAKUGO'S OWN POWER AGAINST HIM WITH HER KICKS!"

"She's adapted the principles of the same martial arts Akaza used, just with her legs," Aizawa stated, his voice laced with disbelief. "She's redirecting force."

Frustration began to build on Bakugo's face. Every attack he threw, she countered. An AP Shot was swatted away with the heel of her foot. A wide-area blast was nullified by a spinning kick that created a vortex of air. He was the aggressor, but she was controlling the entire fight without taking a single step back.

"STAND STILL AND FIGHT ME, DAMMIT!" he screamed, unleashing a continuous stream of explosions, trying to overwhelm her.

Rumi simply flowed through the barrage, her legs a blur of defensive arcs and circles, a perfect, impenetrable defense. Bakugo was getting tired, his arms starting to ache from the recoil. He then saw an opening, or thought he did. He lunged, his hand reaching for her face.

Rumi's defensive posture finally broke. Her eyes sharpened. "My turn," she said, her voice low.

A fiery red aura exploded around her legs. Aura Reinforcement.

Before Bakugo could even register the change, she used Soru. She wasn't just fast anymore; she was instantaneous. She appeared right in front of him, her aura-enhanced leg slamming into his gut. The air was driven from his lungs in a sharp gasp. The blow sent him flying across the ring, tumbling end over end.

He managed to use an explosion to stop his momentum just before he went out of bounds, but he was panting, his midsection screaming in pain. He looked up, only to see Rumi already in the air above him, her other leg coming down like an axe. IS THIS BITCH TRYING TO KILL ME?! He yelled in his mind. He barely managed to get his arms up in a cross-guard, but the force of the kick shattered his defense and slammed him into the concrete stage, cratering it beneath him.

"A VICIOUS COUNTERATTACK! AFTER DEFENDING FOR THE ENTIRE MATCH, USAGIYAMA GOES ON THE OFFENSIVE, AND BAKUGO IS COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED!"

Rumi landed softly. Bakugo struggled to his feet, bruised and battered, but a defiant fire still burning in his eyes. He was about to charge again, but his body gave out, and he collapsed to one knee.

"Bakugo is unable to continue! The winner is Rumi Usagiyama!" Midnight announced.

"WHAT A BATTLE! RUMI USAGIYAMA ADVANCES TO THE FINALS! AND NOW, IT'S TIME FOR THE MATCH THAT COULD SHAKE THIS ENTIRE STADIUM TO ITS CORE! AKAZA VERSUS TODOROKI!"

The stage was repaired at an incredible speed, and the two fighters walked out, the air crackling with an energy that silenced the entire stadium.

"LET THE SECOND SEMI-FINAL… BEGIN!"

Shoto attacked instantly, not with a simple wave, but with a colossal mountain of ice that surged across the stage, aiming to engulf Akaza completely.

Akaza met the attack head-on. He took a low stance, his fists a blur. Destructive Death: Disorder!

He unleashed a furious barrage of shockwave-infused punches, each one striking the advancing glacier. The ice wall, which had seemed unstoppable, began to crack and splinter under the relentless assault before shattering into a million pieces.

"HE DESTROYED IT! AKAZA SHATTERED THAT MASSIVE ICEBERG WITH HIS BARE FISTS!"

Shoto wasn't fazed. A wide, excited smile spread across his face. "LET'S DO OUR BEST AKAZA!" he yelled, his voice filled with a genuine joy that no one had ever heard from him before.

"HELL YEAH!" Akaza yelled back, his own grin matching Shoto's.

The crowd, seeing the pure, unadulterated excitement on both their faces, didn't pick a side. They just cheered, a unified roar for the incredible spectacle unfolding before them.

In the stands, Endeavor watched, his expression unreadable. He saw the smile on his son's face, a real, happy smile, not the cold smirks he'd seen in training. A smile he hadn't seen since the incident with his wife. For the first time, seeing his son use both halves of his power not out of duty, but out of pure joy, Endeavor felt a strange warmth in his chest. It wasn't pride in his creation. It was… happiness. For his son. The realization was a physical blow, and questioning everything he had ever done, he quietly turned and walked away from the stands, needing to be alone.

Back in the ring, the battle raged. Shoto sent out waves of ice, created sharp pillars, and launched projectiles. Akaza met every attack with perfect form. He used the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist to flow around ice spears, redirecting them into the ground. He used Air Type shockwaves to shatter wide-area freezes. His Compass Needle allowed him to anticipate every move Shoto made, never being caught off guard.

Finally, Shoto took a deep breath, steam pouring from his mouth. "Let's end this with one final attack, Akaza!"

"Bring it on, Shoto!" Akaza roared, getting into a low stance.

The temperature in the stadium plummeted as Shoto activated his ice. Then, it skyrocketed as his left side exploded into a torrent of flame. He brought both hands together, unleashing a superheated blast of fire followed immediately by a massive wave of rapidly expanding ice.

"THIS IS IT! TODOROKI'S ULTIMATE MOVE!"

Akaza's expression turned deadly serious. He pulled both his arms back, channeling an immense amount of power into his fists. The air around him distorted, crackling with blue energy. This time, he yelled it out in excitement. "Destructive Death: Annihilation Type!"

He thrust both palms forward, unleashing a single, cataclysmic dome of pure shockwave energy.

The two ultimate moves met in the center of the stage. For a split second, there was absolute silence. Then, the world exploded. A shockwave of concussive force and rapidly shifting temperatures ripped through the arena, forcing the spectators to shield their eyes.

When the dust finally settled, the stage was a ruined landscape of melted ice and shattered concrete. Shoto was on his knees, panting, his body pushed past its limit. Akaza stood before him, unharmed and upright.

"Thank you for opening my eyes, Akaza," Shoto said, his voice barely a whisper. "You are a good friend." With that, he collapsed, unconscious.

Akaza smiled. "You deserved it, buddy." He walked over, gently lifted Shoto onto his shoulder, and carried him towards the medical staff.

The crowd was silent for a moment, processing the sheer scale of what they had just witnessed. Then, they went absolutely ballistic.

"I… I DON'T BELIEVE IT! AKAZA IS THE WINNER! THE FINALS ARE SET! IT'S AKAZA VERSUS RUMI USAGIYAMA! THE POWER COUPLE OF CLASS 1-A WILL BATTLE FOR THE TOP SPOT!"
