********************************

After finishing their date, Akira returned home where he was greeted by his affectionate girlfriend Himiko, they ate the curry she prepared and Akira took care of giving her extra pampering, just as he had promised.

...

Today was the longed-for day, today the UA festival would start, one day after his appointment with Momo, Akira and his classmates from 1A, as well as the other students, teachers and the audience that is in the stadium or in while watching the broadcast, everyone was paying attention to Present Mic who was acting as commentator and presenter for the event:

"GATHER MASS MEDIA! THIS YEAR, ALL YOUR FAVORITE SECONDARY CHILDREN WILL LET THEIR YOUTH-RUN FREE LIKE A DAMN RUNNING HORSE ONCE AGAIN...

THE UA SPORTS FESTIVAL HAS STARTED!! EVERYONE IS READY?" Present Mic's voice resounded.

While this was happening, in the dressing room of 1A the students were preparing for what would be their first appearance, today would be the opportunity to show their ability and potential as heroes, if they managed to impress a hero agency their future would be much easier. Because of this, everyone was nervous and tense.

Of all, the calmest was Akira, not only because of the confidence he had in his power, but mainly because he did not care about the festival itself, even though he decided to attend the UA, his opinion about the heroes was not very positive, so at no time did it cross his mind to work as a hero, much less to work under an agency.

He would never accept being someone else's subordinate, his pride did not allow him to work under the orders of people who most likely were lying bastards, hypocrites who wanted to order him from the comfort of his office.

Also, there was another reason why Akira didn't care about the festival, last week Aizawa called him after school for a conversation that would deeply excite Akira:

["Kyuketsu-san, after class comes to meet me in my office" Aizawa-sensei declared before leaving the classroom.

Although confused and curious about what Aizawa wanted, Akira didn't pay much attention to it.

At the end of classes, Akira remembered Aizawa's words so he quickly packed his supplies and went to the teacher's office.

Upon reaching the staff room, Akira noticed that it was empty with the exception of Aizawa who was at his desk finishing grading some assignments.

"Excuse me Aizawa-sensei, you needed me for something" Akira asked directly after approaching the teacher's desk.

Putting the tasks aside, Aizawa looked up and after staring at Akira for several seconds, sighed.

"Sigh, Yes, I called you for two reasons, the first to thank you and to apologize for the events of the USJ, it was my responsibility as a teacher to protect them, but I failed disastrously, thanks to you there were no more injuries.

That is why I deeply apologize for failing in my work as a hero and teacher" Aizawa bowed his head in apology and thanks to Akira.

"Thanks for the words sensei, although you don't have to feel bad, after all, you were able to fight dozens of them at once and managed to keep them entertained long enough for me to get there, if not, many would have finished wounded or dead"

Akira did not say it just out of humility, he really believed that Aizawa did a good job, considering that his quirk was not geared for long battles and that his fighting style was based on sneak and fast attacks, Akira can only admire and admit that Aizawa is a true master in hand-to-hand combat to manage to contain and entertain such a large group of villains for so long.

"Putting that aside, he said he called me for two reasons, what is the second?" Akira asked.

"You must already know Vlad King, he is the teacher in charge of class 1B, the reason I mention him is that you two have very similar quirks.

And after the last incident where you had to fight and ended up seriously injured by the careless use of your quirk, Director Nezu thought it best to have someone with a similar quirk guide you.

Vlad also agreed that's why after finishing the festival he will send you an offer to study with him.

We hope that in these internships your control over your quirk will improve and the chances of you being injured by it will be reduced.

Of course, it is your choice if you want to study with him or with another hero who sends you an offer, but since your teacher recommends that you study with him, I believe that under his guidance you will be able to improve the control of your quirk and become much stronger.

Well, that would be it, think about it carefully" Aizawa finished his speech.

"Thanks for the advice and concern" after a bow Akira left the room and then left the UA, on the way home he kept a neutral expression as he used to do, but the brightness of his eyes did not lie.

The emotion bubbled inside him, he will finally fulfill the objective for which he decided to attend the UA, although the internships were not long, they would be the first step to forming a relationship with Vlad and with this, he could have more opportunities for classes and teachings. Akira couldn't wait for the festival to come]

After remembering the events of that day, Akira was motivated, he may not care about the festival and all the attention that comes with it, but he would not let himself win, despite the fact that Aizawa already confirmed that Vlad is going to send him an offer, he still wants to show his potential, the last thing he wants is for Vlad to be disappointed if he sees him perform poorly during the festival.

So Akira would take care of destroying everyone and show that it is worth teaching him all his knowledge.

"Kyuketsu" Akira was taken out of his thoughts by that call, turning his gaze to find Todoroki in front of him.

"Umm? What's up Todoroki?" Akira asked although he could already imagine what would happen.

"I know you are much stronger than any of the 1A, whether in practical or theoretical strength, but I will not give up, I WILL BEAT YOU"

"HEHH ..." Akira uttered as his eyes shone dangerously, his words felt like a challenge to his authority, like a deer challenging a tiger, prey challenging its predator.

Akira calmed down quickly because he knew that he did not say it in a negative way, his challenge was friendly, so Akira decided to take it as such.

"If you know that I am stronger than you both practically and theoretically, then I do not see the reason why you challenge me, why not first you take care of defeating the opponents who are in your league" Akira focused his gaze on Bakugo and Izuku, in the latter especially.

"Once you manage to defeat your league, then I will seriously consider your challenge, until then you are not qualified to be my rival" Akira finished with a friendly smile, but his eyes were shining with mockery.

Todoroki noticed the look that Akira gave Bakugo and Izuku, so he understood that until he proved to be stronger than them, Akira would not consider him worthy and would only look at him as another of the bunch.

Although somewhat offended by his words, he also understood where that confidence that bordered on arrogance came from, in fact, if he thought honestly, Todoroki doubted he could defeat Akira.

At least for the moment, knowing this, he decide to change his objective, he would first get stronger, defeat Bakugo and Izuku and then focus on defeating Akira.

Nodding at Akira, Todoroki walked away in Izuku's direction.

"Midoriya ...

I think you already heard my conversation, although I consider that I am stronger than you, you managed to catch All Might's attention.

I don't think I need to meddle in that, but that means he saw potential in you, it seems Akira did too, but let me tell you I WILL DEFEAT YOU, same with Bakugo, I will beat them both and then I will challenge Kyuketsu"

"HUH! What did you say damn, I will be the one to defeat you, I will defeat the useless Deku and kill that bastard" Bakugo shouted after hearing Todoroki's declaration.

"HEYYY! Come on guys relax, what's up with all that aggressiveness" Kirishima tried to mediate and diffuse the tension.

"I don't know what you want from me telling me all that, you are definitely stronger than me ...

But I'll also go with everything I have" Izuku answered for the first time with a determined look on his face.

*CLAP*

"Well, I think that's enough, the festival will start at any moment and I don't want internal fights, when there are hundreds of students out there waiting to defeat us, I hope we stick together and we all shine as a class" Akira finished the discussion and changed the subject from the conversation.

"Although this all started because of you, if you hadn't said any of that, Todoroki wouldn't have challenged Izuku and Bakugo" Momo muttered after seeing Akira speak as if he had nothing to do with the conflict.
