Even now, Yang Xiao hadn't used his full abilities. His Quirk also required a strong physique to complement it; otherwise, he wouldn't have been training so hard at the seaside park.
The body is a vessel, and the Quirk is like a bullet. Without a good vessel, the bullet cannot exert its power.
Now, Yang Xiao's Quirk was much stronger than before, not to mention his physique. He didn't take Shoto Todoroki's solid ice seriously at all.
However, Yang Xiao knew when to stop. The strength he displayed now was still within understandable limits, and he had to control his power well.
Otherwise, his future school life would be full of difficulties. After all, the strong are always targeted, and he didn't want to become a target.
Most importantly, if he revealed too much of his strength, the other three transmigrators would be able to track him down sooner or later.
For Yang Xiao, every extra day was better. Anyway, he didn't want to charge ahead early on and become a target on the front line.
"Your name is Yang Xiao, right?" Todoroki stopped attacking and asked Yang Xiao meaningfully.
Yang Xiao knew that Todoroki was interested in his strength, but Todoroki was a proud and aloof person who liked to be alone and wouldn't tell others about his strength. This was why Yang Xiao had decided to fight Todoroki.
If it were Katsuki Bakugo, Yang Xiao would definitely surrender immediately. Even if he didn't surrender, he would admit defeat after fighting for a while.
Right now, the fingertips of Yang Xiao's right hand were glowing, dazzling the camera monitoring their fight. All Might and the others could hardly see his battle with Todoroki.
"Todoroki-kun, there's no doubt that you are stronger than me, so let's end this battle here. I admit defeat." Yang Xiao said proactively. He was already very satisfied with the progress so far, and there was no need to continue fighting.
For Yang Xiao, being able to fight against one of the strongest in Class 1-A and being able to restrain the opponent's large-scale attacks already proved that his training was effective.
"I'm stronger than you?" Todoroki smiled, looked at Yang Xiao, and said, "Not necessarily. I think you're a good opponent, but I don't understand why you're hiding your strength and not wanting to show it publicly."
Yang Xiao spoke softly, "Everyone has their own unspeakable secrets. Let's not discuss this topic. Anyway, I admit defeat."
The more Yang Xiao acted like this, the more Todoroki felt that Yang Xiao was very strong, but in his heart, he believed he was definitely superior. This was when he was only using half of his Quirk. If he used his bastard father's Quirk, Yang Xiao definitely wouldn't be able to hold on.
However, Todoroki still wanted to continue fighting Yang Xiao. He hadn't met someone his age with such strength for a long time, which stirred a desire in his heart.
"Keep fighting; we're both still fine." Todoroki took a few steps forward. Suddenly, the light on Yang Xiao's fingertips disappeared. He then sat down on the ground and shouted, "I surrender!"
"Why surrender?"
The students were a bit confused by what they saw on the surveillance footage. Although the footage of the battle between Yang Xiao and Todoroki wasn't very clear, everyone knew that the two were qualified to fight, especially Yang Xiao, who seemed very ordinary but wasn't as weak as everyone imagined.
Katsuki Bakugo frowned as he looked at Yang Xiao sitting on the ground. He was now certain that Yang Xiao had hidden his strength, but he had missed some crucial moments in the footage. There was definitely something off.
"Since young Yang Xiao has admitted defeat, then young Todoroki's team is the winner!" All Might announced the result directly because Yang Xiao had explicitly said he surrendered.
Yang Xiao and Denki Kaminari were the villains. The villains could surrender, but the professional heroes could not. That was the rule.
So Yang Xiao's team lost, and Todoroki's team won.
Denki Kaminari was still waiting for good news from Yang Xiao, but a failure notification came through the headset, asking them to leave the building.
"Are you kidding me? It would've been better if we went together. It's only been a short time, and we've already failed." Kaminari complained. He had no idea what had happened to Yang Xiao downstairs.
"It seems Todoroki-kun is better. He deserves to be a recommended student." Tsuyu Asui said, touching her chin.
"Alright, everyone gather to review the second battle." All Might waved his hand, signaling everyone to start discussing the battle between Yang Xiao's team and Todoroki's team.
The following battles proceeded one after another. The fights between each group were very exciting. Yang Xiao now seemed a bit mysterious in the eyes of his classmates. It appeared everyone knew Yang Xiao was very strong.
That's right, everyone attributed the ability to break the ice to strength.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
After all the teams finished fighting, All Might had everyone gather together. "Except for Midoriya, no one was seriously injured, but everyone gave it their all. As far as first-time training goes, everyone did very well."
"It feels a bit disappointing to have such a serious teaching session suddenly after Mr. Aizawa..." Tsuyu Asui is straightforward and says whatever she thinks.
"It is our freedom to conduct serious teaching. Next, I have to go give some comments to Midoriya. You all change your clothes... and return to the classroom." After saying this, All Might raised his legs and disappeared on the spot like a gust of wind.
"All Might is so awesome!" Denki Kaminari said with stars in his eyes.
"But why is he in such a hurry..." Eijiro Kirishima said in surprise.
Only Yang Xiao knew what was going on. All Might wasn't in a hurry to find Izuku Midoriya to explain and comment; it was because his transformation time was up, and he didn't want to reveal his true physical condition in front of everyone.
"Hey, Yang!"
When most of the classmates had left, Yang Xiao was stopped by a voice. He didn't even need to think to know it was Katsuki Bakugo calling him.
"What's the matter?" Yang Xiao turned and looked at him.
"Have you been hiding your strength?" Bakugo Katsuki raised his head and asked Yang Xiao, his eyes fixed on him.
At this moment, there was no one else around, only Yang Xiao and Bakugo Katsuki.
Yang Xiao didn't even think about answering Bakugo Katsuki's question. He just turned around and left. There was nothing to explain to this guy. The more he explained, the more trouble he would invite.
"Stop right there!"
A gust of wind blew toward the back of Yang Xiao's head. Without thinking, Yang Xiao dodged it. For such a small dodge, he didn't even need to use his Quirk; he could avoid it directly.
Sure enough, the next moment, Bakugo Katsuki's hand passed through the spot where Yang Xiao had just been standing.
"Dodged?" Bakugo Katsuki was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "So you have been hiding your strength!"
Yang Xiao rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit annoyed. What on earth was Bakugo Katsuki doing?
