"Hmm? It's you..." Madara said as he looked into the eyes of the number two pro hero, Endeavor. Shoto's father, the man who's obsessed with surpassing All Might.

"Kid, I've been watching you." Endeavor said as he eyed Madara with his usual cold eyes. The pro hero noticed how the boy didn't flinch when meeting his gaze. Usually when intimidating people, Endeavor would release his 'pressure' on them, like he's doing now. Some would constantly look down, not even try to look him in the eye, and most would get too scared to form a sentence.

But the real question is why he's doing this now on a kid...

Not letting Madara speak, Endeavor continued on by saying

"You're soon going to go up against my son Shoto, and seeing that he's finally accepted what he's made for and used his fire, you're definitely not going to win. I told the other kid who All Might seems to be interested in, but it's obvious now that you are Shoto's biggest obstacle to be number one and become what I've envisioned." Endeavor said, looking straight into Madara's black eyes.

Madara himself raised an eyebrow at the fire mans words. "Become what you've envisioned? Ah, I get it now. You couldn't surpass nor ever defeat All Might yourself, so you decided to have Shoto do it. It's honestly pathetic." He harshly said.

Endeavor's anger started to rise as well as the surrounding temperature when he heard Madara's words.

"You damn bra-"

"I'm not done talking." Madara said, interrupting whatever the pro hero was going to say.

"The fact that you think Shoto will ever defeat me is funny enough, but you believing he will become number one is even more so." Madara said to him, but he wasn't done yet.

The moment Madara brought out his chakra, a light breeze flew by as cracks began to appear on the floor and walls. His hair flowed lightly as he flared his Sharingan and stared right into Endeavor's eyes.

'W-what the the hell is this!? Such a foul and evil pressure.' Endeavor thought to himself with wide eyes, wondering why the hell he couldn't move.

Looking at the number two hero, Madara spoke out by saying, "Don't ever try intimidating me with that weak aura of yours. The fact that you tried doing it on a student is even more concerning. Well, I shouldn't be surprised considering how you treat your kids."

"I heard Shoto talking to Izuku about what you did to him and how you treat your 'family'. If that's what you even consider them. Personally to me, you are no hero and don't deserve to be one." Madara voiced out his opinions to the man.

It seriously made him think of the possibilities of other heroes doing worse behind the scenes. I mean, if the number two pro hero is like this, then imagine some of the other low ranked heroes.

Could they be worse than this man? He didn't know, but it was definitely a strong possibility.

Madara decided that he was done with this situation here. Momo's match will be starting soon, and considering that she'd be facing a very strong opponent, Madara had no doubt that she was nervous.

So he stopped the pressure he was putting on Endeavor, deactivated his Sharingan and walked passed him calmly. There was no need to talk to him anymore, but it seems like the man himself wasn't finished.

When Madara stopped, Endeavor let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in. Touching his face, he discovered something that made him feel humiliated.

Like being intimidated from a student wasn't already enough, but the same student making him sweat made him furious. Turning around and glaring at the long blacked haired boy, Endeavor was going to do something, but Madara's next words stopped him.

"What would the public say if they found out Endeavor attacked a student?" Madara said as he held out his phone, indicating that it was voice recording.

"Who the hell do you think you are!" Endeavor said as the temperature around them grew once again.

"Madara. Madara Uchiha." Madara said as he walked away, not sparing a glance at the man.

He finally arrived to the room Momo is waiting in and saw her thinking deeply once again. Madara decided to sit in front of Momo, so he got a chair and placed it close to her. Sitting down, Madara put his hands on her thighs and rubbed them up and down to calm her.

"You're here..." Momo said to him with a relieved expression on her face.

"Well, I got caught up with an annoying disturbance."

"Tell me about it?" Momo asked with a smile as she put her hands over the ones that were rubbing her thighs.

Madara gave Momo a brief summary on what transpired earlier. She was certainly shocked to here what happened and how he dealt with the pro hero.

"So you're telling me that you weren't even voice recording?" Momo asked with a laugh. She was now sitting sideways on his lap with her arms around his neck as he held her.

"Exactly. How could I even have time to bring out my phone and start voice recording with him right in front of me." Madara replied back to her.

"Couldn't he have just destroyed your phone afterwards if he really planned to beat you up." Momo asked with a confused expression on her face that Madara found cute.

"I guess he was so mad that he didn't realize it." He said.

It was a couple minutes later when Momo and Bakugo's names were called. Madara ended up giving her a kiss for good luck and left to go sit back down at his seat. When he arrived there, he noticed that Iida wasn't sitting with the class.

"Hey Madara! Congratulations on your win against Iida." Some of the students said to him as he got back.

He nodded his head at them and sat down on his seat and looked at the stage where the two contestants were now facing each other.

"Do you think Momo can defeat Bakugo?" Jiro who was next to him asked.

Madara didn't answer and focused on the match that was now starting. If he were to be honest with himself, he didn't think Momo could win this match. And soon enough, his assumptions were correct because Bakugo was able to easily overwhelm Momo with his strong attacks.

She tried defending herself with her shield, but Bakugo didn't give her a chance to make anything else as he kept attacking. It didn't mean the fight was one sided though. Momo did get a couple hits in as she was able to make brass knuckles, but unfortunately for her, Bakugo had a durable body and was able to take those hits. Soon enough, Bakugo was able to push her back to where she went out of bounds, claiming him the winner.

Madara watched all of this and thought 'It's good that he didn't go overboard and seriously injure Momo. Otherwise, I would have had to beat him senseless in the finals.'

Going to the waiting room, Madara found Momo there waiting for him. He noticed that she wasn't actually sad or anything, and he knew that she wasn't hiding her true feelings. Madara could tell when she did that.

"Are you ok?" He questioned as he brought her into a hug.

Momo smiled and said "To be honest, I didn't expect to win, but this match helped me understand that I'll have to work even harder if I want to compete with our stronger classmates."

The two stayed together and had a light conversation and soon enough, Madara and Shoto's names were called for the match.

——————————

(With the heroes)

"This next match, looking around and seeing how eager everyone is to see this, I can conclude that their excited."

"Of course they are! Even I am. The two favorites in winning this Sports Festival."

"Yes, it's bound to be a good match since these two have such strong quirks."

—————

(With the students)

"The two strongest in the class fighting each other!" Sero said excitingly with Kirishima who was next to him agreeing.

"Izuku, who do think will win this match?" Ochako questioned Izuku since the boy himself has fought Todoroki.

"I think if Shoto uses his fire again, he'll be able to defeat Madara. But then again, Madara has very destructive abilities from what we've seen so far. Although, I'm really hoping Shoto wins." Izuku said to his brown haired friend.

"Eh? You sound like you have a grudge against Madara or something." Ochako said with a small laugh, causing Izuku to fumble on his words.

"W-what? It's just that I didn't like the way he defeated Tenya..." he said with his head down.

Tokoyami who was next to them and heard what Izuku said decided to voice his opinion. "All because he dragged him? Izuku, Iida himself said that it didn't bother him and accepted his defeat. It shouldn't bother you that much. And besides, he could have probably done worse."

When Izuku heard the bird mans words, he put his head down and thought about it.

"Yeah, I wonder where Iida is..." Ochako said with a sigh.

"Look! They're about to start!" Mina said to the others as she saw Shoto and Madara walk up to the stage.

"Geez, calm down Mina." Momo said, laughing at her friends antics.

———————

(With Tomura)

"Watch closely Tomura. This will obviously be the most eventful match. We'll see if that Todoroki boy is able to push that kid to use more of his abilities." A voice came out a phone.

"Yes Sensei." Tomura said as he now had his complete attention on his laptop screen, making sure he didn't miss anything.

—————

"Now! Are you two ready!?" Present Mic yelled out. Seeing the two boys nod their heads, he immediately said

"START!"

Shoto quickly sent a huge amount of ice at Madara. All the black haired boy did was jump up into the air and skid down on top of it.

'Now you're an easy target' Shoto thought to himself as he sent more ice at Madara.

"Dammit" He cursed under his breath when he saw his opponent easily flip around the ice. How he was able to do that? He wasn't sure, but he was prepared to defend himself if he attacked.

"If you think that your ice is enough to fight me, then you're sorely mistaken." Madara said as he perfectly landed on the ground.

"I don't need my flames to defeat you." Todoroki simply said as he sent an even stronger attack then last time.

"He really isn't going too..." Madara said to himself with a sigh as he saw the attack coming his way. Jumping high into the air, Madara formed a single hand seal.

"Fine then. If you won't use fire, then I will." Madara said. Even if he didn't yell out, everyone was still somehow able to hear his words.

'Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.'

"W-what?" Todoroki, as well as most of the audience were shocked when a torrent of fire came out of Madara's mouth and shaped into a huge ball.

Shoto's ice was easily being vaporized due

to the extreme heat of Madara's flames which everyone felt. They couldn't help but notice how much hotter it seemed to be compared to when Shoto used his left side.

Todoroki was able to successfully move out of the way so he didn't get hit by Madara's attack. Looking at the black haired boy, he couldn't help but get mad at the fact that he had the same abilities as his father.

He wanted nothing more than to defeat him here and now.

"Oh? I can see it in your face. Your fury. 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?" Madara said, trying to provoke the boy. He could just easily end the fight, but he wanted to at least have a decent match this Sports Festival. Sadly, Todoroki disappointed him.

"No...I'll beat you here just to see the look on his face when he sees how useless flames are when put up against my ice." Todoroki said, preparing for his biggest attack yet as he intended to end the match here.

"Sorry Madara, but you lose..." Shoto said to himself as he sent a huge stream of ice at his opponent.

"Very well then." Madara said. 'I guess I'll use this jutsu but power it down. Otherwise, I'll likely burn the arena and everyone in it. Certainly don't want to do that.' he thought to himself.

'Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation.'

A stream of fire came out of Madara's mouth. At first, most people in the crowd thought it wouldn't be enough to stop Todoroki's attack, but they realized how wrong they were when Madara's attack suddenly turned into a sea of fire of 15 meters wide that easily vaporized the ice.

Shoto looked at the incoming flames in complete shock. There was one thing he felt that he would have never thought he would when coming to U.A.

Fear.

All thoughts of defeating Madara disappeared. Looking at the flames that were coming his way, Todoroki turned around and quickly ran out of bounds.

This was a day he'd never forget, and it wasn't just him. Everyone in the audience would never forget this scene.

Madara stopped his flames from going even further because he wasn't trying to kill his opponent. As he stopped his attack, everyone watched as the flames disappeared, revealing the completely burnt up surface of the stage.

"S-Shoto Todoroki stepped out of bounds! Madara Uchiha is the winner!" Midnight announced as she got out of her shock.

'Damn that was hot, and I'm not talking about the flames.' She thought to herself as she licked her lips.

(With Tomura)

"S-Sensei..." Tomura said in shock as he looked at his screen.

"Yes I know Tomura. Make sure to get any information we can on his quirk. I want to know how it works and all it's weaknesses." The man on the phone said.

Unfortunately for them, they won't be able to find anything since Madara himself never revealed to anyone what exactly his quirk is and what it does.

Even without being able to see the mans face, you could tell he was smiling. But it wasn't a good one.

The thought of taking that boys quirk for his own brought him so much joy.

Once again...unfortunately for them, Madara's quirk can not be stolen.

"Oh? Interesting..." A certain female said as she looked at her screen that was showing Madara walking away from the stage.

'Strong...very strong.' She thought to herself.
