An exciting outcome!

Shoto took a stance, readying himself , and with his right side, produced a wall of ice behind himself, intending to ensure that Bakugo's attack wouldn't **** him out of bounds. He raised his left hand, gathering flames into a veritable inferno, and launched them at Bakugo, who roared, and released the biggest explosion he could muster at Todoroki to meet the flames.

"Cementoss!" Midnight shouted at her fellow teacher, realizing that the two could very easily kill each other if their attacks were not dampened. Cementoss was already on it, using his Quirk to raise cement walls up between the two. The walls were obliterated on both sides, but they absorbed the worst of the blast from both attacks, which then collided, and a burning explosion erupted at the epicenter. A shockwave buffeted the ring, and the front rows of the stands.

"...damn... These hopeful Heroes are just getting more and more ****," Cementoss noted as they watched the dust settle. Midnight kept her eyes peeled for both opponents. Todoroki came into view first, wheezing and battered, his clothes torn, and resting against his almost completely shattered ice wall.

Then, Midnight located Bakugo... A bit off to the side from where she expected him to be, just barely within bounds, and laying, unmoving, face down. "...Katsuki Bakugo, are you able to continue?" Midnight asked, gazing at Bakugo from a distance, trying to discern if he was still conscious. There was no response. After a moment, she nodded. "Winner by knockout-" she began to announce, when Bakugo suddenly set off more of his sweat, blasting himself forward right at Todoroki a final time. Midnight clammed up, letting the match continue to its conclusion.

"This is it!" he shouted, Todoroki's eyes widening as he tried to form an ice shield between them, but it was too late. Bakugo, midway to Todoroki in the air, threw his palms forward, and released concussive blast. The half formed ice Todoroki managed to get up shattered, and the **** of the blasts slammed into him, and blasting him through the ice wall that had saved him from going out of bounds in the previous clash.

"Oof!" Todoroki grunted weakly as he got the ground back first. Outside of the ring. Bakugo landed, skidding to the edge of the ring himself, and resting his hands on his knees, wheezing heavily, before falling to his knees, barely able to stay up in any capacity.

It had been an extremely close call. The moment before their massive attacks, though dampened by Cementoss, collided, Bakugo realized that Todoroki's flames would overpower his own blast, and though some of the explosion would make it through, Todoroki had the ice wall behind him to ensure he stayed in bounds.

So, at the very last second, Bakugo had moved a hand to blast himself in a slightly different direction, barely avoiding taking Todoroki's attack dead on. It had still nearly pushed him out of bounds, and it certainly did a number on him, but had just barely managed to prevent his defeat. He had then needed a moment then to gather his remaining strength to launch his final attack, but it had all paid off.

"... correction!" Midnight announced, changing up said announcement fairly quickly. "Winner by ring out, Katsuki Bakugo!" The audience erupted in applause. Unless one of the future matches topped this, this fight was certain to be the highlight of this particular Sports Festival.

Notably, Endeavor was shaking in barely suppressed fury, many members of the audience trying to edge nervously away from him as his Quirk flared up. Without another word, he stormed up the stairs to head inside.
