"Shoto Todoroki stepped out of bounds! Madara Uchiha is the winner!" Was the only thing Shoto heard as he stared at the back of the student who defeated him.
The one who entirely outclassed him with no sort of effort what so ever.
He stood there, slightly shaking from the lingering fear that he felt during those last few seconds of the match. Even after cooling down his body with the use of his right side, he was still able to feel the intense heat Madara's flames emitted.
Going over the match that just conspired, Shoto couldn't help but feel frustrated when he recalled Madara's taunting words.
"Does me being able to use flames just like your father bother you that much? How does it feel to know that you'll lose to them?" Was what the long haired boy asked him in the middle of the match.
Yes, it did bother him. It bothered him so much to the point where he wanted nothing more than to defeat him. Wanted nothing more than to overwhelm his flames just so he could prove a point. But in the end, the outcome was completely different than what he expected at the time.
It also felt awful to lose against something that reminded him of his father. The man who he despised so much for seeing him as nothing but a tool and the abuse against him and his mother.
And the fact that he ran away made him feel much worse. Even to the point of being ashamed of himself for doing it.
But then again, what else was he supposed to do in front of a powerful attack like that?
All he was able to do was watch as the sea of flames eat his ice away. He didn't even bother to try attacking again because standing right in front of Madara's attack flushed all thoughts of ever continuing the battle out of his head.
'I underestimated his powers once again, and it ended in my downfall. I should've used my left, why didn't I use it.' He said inside his mind.
'I guess I'm not ready yet to fully embrace my fire. There's still one thing left I have to do.' He thought to himself as he walked away from the stage that was now being constructed again.

(With the heroes)
"This Madara kid. Honestly, it's to be expected that he can use fire considering how he was able to use wood and lightning, but seeing it is still surprising."
"Of course it is, no one would expect for it to be that destructive and strong! Makes you wonder if that's the full power of the attack."
"You think so as well? I remember when he used his wood in the obstacle course and easily controlled it where he could make a path for himself. And with here, it seems like he stopped his attack from going even further to seriously injure his opponent, who's to say that he didn't make it weaker as well."
"If that's true, then what's his limit? He doesn't look exhausted or tired what so ever, so do you think he can just constantly use attacks like those?"
"Hahaha just the thought of that makes me wonder exactly how strong he'll get as time goes on."
"Well the thought of that makes me shiver."
All Might who was near the heroes heard what they were saying and frowned with a serious expression on his face. 'What is his limit? And if he can really use attacks like that with no setbacks, then we're lucky he isn't a villain and decided to be a hero.' He thought to himself as he recalled the battle that just finished.
'And there's no doubt that All For One could be watching right now. He'd definitely find an interest in young Madara's mysterious and powerful quirk. I'm going to have to talk to Nezu about this because if All For One really does want to go after the boy, then we need to protect him.'
All Might realized how serious this could get and thought of the possibilities of his arch-nemesis being interested in Madara. If he's really watching, then there was no doubt that he has his eyes on him after seeing just what he could do in this match.
As All Might continued to think about it, the heroes were still going on and on about the Uchiha.
"Do you think after this show of fire power Endeavor will take the boy as an intern? It would be good for him seeing as they both can use fire to a high degree."
"No, he'll probably only take his son. And if I were to be honest, I think this Madara boy would be good for tons of pro heroes. Coupled with his superhuman physical strength and the variety of skills and abilities he has; I'm sure a great deal of pro heroes will want him as an intern. I know I do."

(With Madara)
Walking away from the stage, Madara decided to go wait in the waiting room since the final match would start soon. If he were to be honestly with himself, he'd say that that he was disappointed in Shoto for not using his fire, but it didn't really bother him.
Hopefully Bakugo could give him a decent fight in these finals. Remembering how the blonde called him out after the Calvary Battle, he knew that he was very eager to defeat him to 'prove his place as number one', but too bad for him, that would never happen.
Arriving at the waiting room, Madara opened the door to see his two beautiful girls who were currently having a conversation amongst themselves.
"Madara!" Nejire called out when she saw him come inside. Since Momo had her back to the door, she wasn't able to see him come in.
Nejire got up and run into the arms of the one she loved so much with a big smile on her face that seemed to light up the room.
"Did you ditch Mirio and Tamaki again?" Madara questioned her with a chuckle as he wrapped his right arm around her waist, sat down on a big chair and gestured to Momo to come and take her place on his left.
"Yeah, I wanted to come see you again. You should've seen the look on their faces when they saw your final move!" Nejire said to him as she rest her head on his strong c.h.e.s.t.
"Just like how they were shocked when you told them you had a boyfriend?" Momo spoke up with an amused tone to her voice.
'So that's what they were talking about when I wasn't here.' Madara assumed in his head.
"Exactly. I've never told them about us at all, so their reaction wasn't so surprising. But I do wonder what they'd think when they learn I'm not your only one." Nejire said with a curios expression on her face.
"Hmm, maybe they'd try to beat me up." Madara said jokingly to the two girls.
"Oh please."
The three students talked with each other in the waiting room until finally, Madara and Bakugo's names were called for the final match. Madara left the room after receiving two separate kisses and a good luck from his girls.

(With Class 1-A)
"I'm getting goosebumps! We get to see another fight between two extremely strong students." Kirishima spoke up was a huge grin plastered on his face.
"Yeah! Who do you think will win this match?" Ochako, the brown haired girl questioned to her fellow classmates. When they heard her question, most of them looked at her weirdly.
"I think we all already know what the result of this match will be Uraraka." Tsuyu said to her with the students who heard her agreeing.
"Exactly! Did you see that last move? It was amazing!" Denki yelled out to the others.
"Denki, everyone saw it. The Sea of Fire that consumed Todoroki's ice." Tokoyami said to the yellow haired boy.
"I think it's ok to say that he's the strongest in our class right?" Mina said with others nodding in agreement at her words. Before, they considered Madara as one of the strongest, but there was no doubt now that he was at the top.
As the students continued talking amongst themselves, Ochako noticed how Izuku had his head down. So she decided to ask him what was wrong since they were friends.
"Izuku? Why do you seem so down?" Ochako questioned him with a confused and concerned expression on her face.
"Eh? Well after seeing Shoto's and Madara's fight, I couldn't help but realize how far ahead they are compared to me and the other students. Especially Madara." Izuku said, with Ochako understanding exactly what he meant because she also felt the same.
"Well then that means we're going to have to work harder from now on. Plus Ultra right?" Ochako said trying to encourage her green haired friend. Seeing him pick his head back up and smile at her, she felt that she had done a good job in making him feel better.
"Now how do you think this match will go on Izuku?" The round faced girl questioned.
"Well Kacchan can somehow show something unexpected, but after the earlier match, even I think he's unable to beat Madara." Izuku replied, saying something right for once.
Momo who got back from the waiting room heard their conversation and asked Izuku something that's always confused her since she's known the green haired classmate.
"Hey Midoriya, why do you call Bakugo 'Kacchan'?" She questioned him, causing the boy to stutter on his words because of the pretty girl talking to him.
"W-well, I've we've known each other since we were little kids, and I've always called him that. I guess it just stuck on." Izuku answered.
"Oh, so like childhood friends?" Ochako said, getting a nod from Izuku.
Momo just nodded her head and went back to paying attention to the newly made stage that had her boyfriend and Bakugo standing on it while facing each other.
'Childhood friends? Seems like a childhood bully to me.' Momo thought to herself.
——————
"Now with the final match of this years Sports Festival! Are you two ready?!" Present Mic yelled out into the mic with the huge crowd cheering along. Seeing the two boys nod their heads, he said
"START!!"
Bakugo seeing Madara not moving, ran ahead to shoot a huge blast at his direction. He didn't want to get close to him because he knew how formidable Madara was in hand to hand combat.
Madara swiftly dodged the attacks sent his way with his superhuman speed. Bakugo seeing that he wasn't attacking became enraged.
'This asshole is still looking down on me!' He thought inside his head as he stopped his attacks and stared at Madara who now stood there with a bored expression on his face.
"Bastard! Why aren't attacking or using any of your elements huh! Fight back and use your full power!" Bakugo yelled out with an angry expression on his face. Seeing how Madara didn't respond and only raised an eyebrow, his temper raised through the roof and he said something that he'll come to regret.
"Maybe you would've fought seriously if I had just beat up that girl of yo-" he didn't get to finish what he was saying as he felt intense pain around his stomach and dropped to the ground on his knees and coughed up a good amount blood.
Madara wasn't finished though as he kicked him again, but this time upwards into the air.
Due to the pain he was feeling, Bakugo didn't have time to escape, and not even a second later, Madara reappeared above him and slapped him back down.
Landing next to his opponent who was on the ground laying on his stomach groaning in pain, Madara spoke up and said
"The reason why I'm not using my full power is because you're too weak to make me do it."
Bakugo lifted his head to see cold red eyes stare right into him. No, stare down at him.
"Look at you, just a couple moves from me and you end up like this." Madara said as he looked into the eyes of Bakugo. Maybe he went too far, but he deserved it for what he said about Momo.
"You could be a great hero one day, but you ruin it by acting like a complete brat, thinking yourself as being above others. Wake up. You're not the strongest and you'll never be. At this point, you won't even be considered a hero when you act like a villain all the time." Madara said seriously to Bakugo.
Judging from what he remembered from the anime, Katsuki actually grows as a character and mellows down once he realized he wasn't the best.
'At least he won't always stay like this.' Madara thought to himself.
Seeing as Bakugo was struggling to get up, Madara decided to end the match by immobilizing him with the use of his wood, but Bakugo was way too stubborn to just surrender.
Sighing, Madara wrapped Bakugo's whole body in even more wood and extended the branches to where it would take him out of bounds.
"Katsuki Bakugo is out of bounds! Madara Uchiha is the winner!" Midnight announced with the audience cheering. Even then, Bakugo continued to thrash around, which caused the R-rated hero to put him to sleep.
As Madara walked away he thought in his head 'Hopefully my show of power today catches her attention.'
[author- I'm not really satisfied with this chapter, but I still hope you'll enjoy it.]
"Shoto Todoroki stepped out of bounds! Madara Uchiha is the winner!" Was the only thing Shoto heard as he stared at the back of the student who defeated him.
The one who entirely outclassed him with no sort of effort what so ever.
He stood there, slightly shaking from the lingering fear that he felt during those last few seconds of the match. Even after cooling down his body with the use of his right side, he was still able to feel the intense heat Madara's flames emitted.
