LISTENERS, THE SECOND ROUND WILL BE UP AFTER A TEN MINUTE DELAY.SO IF YOU NEED A BATHROOM BREAK, NOW'S THE TIME!" He turned to his fellow teacher."Speaking of which I'll be right back Eraser."

Aizawa just shrugged as he watched the man scurry off.

Most of 1-A was sitting at their viewing section, simply waiting out the ten minutes.Most of the conversation was about how the people who advanced would be doing.

Shinsou had a plan to beat Kirishima, but he didn't really want to do it as he'd feel kind of bad for taking advantage of his classmate.Then again he was training to be an underground hero, does he need morals?No, he didn't, murder, subterfuge, sneak attacks, weapons, all of them were valid strategies he needed to abuse.Taking advantage of his opponent's personality is the same thing, his quirk made it so he had to be deceptive if he wanted to win.

Momo knew she probably wouldn't be able to tranq her next opponent thanks to the defensive capability of her vines.It made her feel like she'd need to resort to fire.Momo could do that but she felt like that might be going a bit too far if she did, she didn't want to accidentally maim the girl.One for All would help a bit, but she doubted she could overpower her opponents vines with her current maximum percentage of One for All.So that really did only leave her one option.

Todoroki wasn't even concerned with his current opponent, as far as he was concerned they were an after thought.He knew who would be standing apart from him in the final round, he knew his opponent was handicapped.Thanks to that he could actually beat Midoriya for the first time but beating him when he's below half his total power felt a tad sour in his mouth.He wasn't a mass of pride and angst like Bakugo but he did want to fight his opponent at their best, especially since the person in question forced his best out.

Bakugo was sitting back defeated.He really wasn't into it anymore, he couldn't beat icy-hot, hell he probably couldn't beat shitty hair when he has that speed quirk, so how the fuck was he going to beat Deku.The boy has at least 5 maybe 6 quirks he can use plus the fucker is mostly immune to fire which is half of his main quirk and his secondary one is literally fire manipulation, which is also useless.His only hope is to knock the nerd out of the ring with the force of an explosion but then Deku can just use that stupid air cannon quirk to fire himself back in.Yeah he's fucked.

Midoriya saw how Bakugo looked and it was strange.On one hand the greenette almost felt sorry for single handedly crushing his hopes and dreams, on the other hand it was very much Bakugo who ruined his life for a long time.He just shook his head before returning his gaze to the arena, he'd just let Bakugo deal with his own shit.

Kirishima felt kinda bad about his next opponent, his opponent was functionally quirkless since he knew how to beat it.Beating up a person who literally cannot fight left a sour taste in his mouth.'Yeah, I'll just shove him out quickly and avoid hurting him.' Kirishima thought to himself.

Similar thoughts were going through the two remaining minds of the students of 1-B

"Please everyone, let me borrow a strand of your hair, Kamakiri can cut it.We can't lose to 1-A and now I'm stuck fighting one of their strongest." Monoma was pleading with his class to help him out.

Kendo was holding her head in thought."Yeah ... guys we need every advantage we can get, Kamakiri do it.Everyone else make a braid of your hair so he can easily swap between them.Monoma wrap them around your arms, it'll look weird but it should work."

Monoma was staring at Kendo like she was a goddess."I shall not let you all down, I swear on the good name of class 1-B!"

Shiozaki knew her opponent was not to be taken lightly.Yaoyorozu was incredibly strong, she was going to need to be smart if she wanted to win this.The amount of hair she can generate while extensive is limited, if her opponent does what Shiozaki thinks she's going to do Shiozaki does not want to fight an extended battle.

"Were back from out break listeners.ARE YOU READDYYYYYYY?"

The crowd roared back at mic.

"Now that's the energy I like to hear.Can our next two contestants report to the arena."

Shinsou exited the tunnel seeing Midnight on his left and Kirishima staring him down.Man Kirishima was going to be mad at him after this if his plan works.

"MATCH ONE OF ROUND TWO, HIS BARK IS AS BAD AS HIS BITE, SHINSOU HITOSHI VERSUS THE MAN WHO CAN STOP BULLETS WITH HIS ABS, EJIRO KIRISHIMAAAAAAAAA!READY?GO!"

"Hey Kirishima, we both know your going to win this if we fight.I won't lie, I know you like being manly and honor and all that.Would you consider us fighting quirkless, man to man?If not I'll save both of us the trouble and walk out."

Kirishima being the noble person he always was obviously wouldn't hesitate."Dude of course that's s-"

God Shinsou felt like he just kicked a puppy."Turn around and walk out the arena." Being forced to watch the person he lied to slowly stagger out of the arena made Shinsou hurt a bit.

"JUST LIKE THE PREVIOUS MATCH, SHINSOU'S OPPONENT WALKS OUT OF THE ARENA OF THEIR OWN VOLITION, SHINSOU HITOSHI WINS BY RINGOUT!"

Kirishima regained his consciousness outside of the arena, ... he lost didn't he?He turned to see his opponent standing in the arena with a wistful look on his face."Ha ha, Shinsou you got me.That was a good trick.I can't even be mad."

Shinsou was wincing at that."I'm sorry Kirishima I could only win like this, plus I guess it could also be a lesson.Villains will lie to you, your a good person Kirishima but you can't trust everyone to also be good."

The spiky haired teen looked down."Yeah, your right, it wasn't a manly victory but it was a victory and villains will always go for the win.I won't hold this against you Shinsou, best of luck dude." Kirishima gave a sad smile to the other boy as he walked back into his side of the arena.

Monoma was freaking out after witnessing what he just did."I thought you said that quirk had some weakness Rin!?He just lost instantly like you did, I can't beat that, Shiozaki can't beat that."

Kendo took this opportunity to neck chop Monoma."We don't need you scaring her anymore Monoma.Does anyone have any idea how that quirk works?We need to stay calm and strategize."

Tokage wasn't the smartest person in her class for no reason, she had been intently examining the scene and finally something seemed to click."You know, I think I have an idea.That purple haired kid started both my fight and this one by talking to his opponent.I remember everything until I responded and that spiky haired guy didn't leave the arena until after he spoke.The sports festival is being recorded, someone pull up the stream so we can further fact check my idea by looking at that."

Yanagi pulled her phone out before rewinding the stream."Yes, he spoke before his eyes glazed over."

The class president finally figured it out, Tokage was absolutely right."It's speech, don't talk to him and he can't mind control you.Alright, we have a plan now, don't talk to him if you reach him Shiozaki and if you still get mind controlled we'll find a new plan for Monoma if he gets that far."

The next round began as usual, Momo was walking towards the arena only slightly more, no, make that incredibly more nervous than she was for her first match.This fight was going to be do or die, if Shiozaki managed to grab her that was the same as game over.As she started walking up the steps her opponent came into view, she took a breath and steadied herself."I wish you the best of luck Shiozaki." Momo bowed toward her opponent.

"You as well Yaoyorozu, let us truly have a fight worthy of our lord's grace."

"It's 1-A versus 1-B.In one corner we have the woman who has more choices than a choose your own adventure book, Yaoyorozu Momo!Versus the angelic figure of 1-B Ibara Shiozaki!READY?START!"

Momo charged up her legs to 8% in order to dodge the incoming vines that Shiozaki was throwing at her.She could only activate One for All in specific parts of her body, she had to keep it in her legs in order to keep out of her opponents range.She needed to buy time however as their was only so much space in the arena.So she quickly made a small object before hurling it at her opponent.

Shiozaki saw the projectile being thrown towards her and knew whatever it was, she didn't want to risk it going off.She quickly pulled back her vines and surrounded the object with them.A few seconds later a dull 'boom' and some light came from the spot.A grenade it seemed, Ibara was thankful it wasn't one of the incendiary kind, but she would need to keep being careful as her opponent could easily swap to those.She then quickly moved her gaze back to Yaoyorozu which caused her eyes to widen."Oh..."

Momo held the large object in her hands, she wondered if breaking the Geneva convention for a high school tournament would be considered going too far.She threw the thought aside and just shrugged, 'Oh well, Bakugo's here and he can create literal explosions, as long as I don't actually hit her with this it should be okay.' "Shiozaki I'll give you one chance to surrender, I don't want to have to do this but I will.This is the XL-18 Flamethrower and it can shoot gouts of flame at distances up to 100 feet.Obviously I won't use this on you but your hair is fair game."

Midnight, Ibara, and the entire crowd just froze as they took that threat in.

"IS THAT A FREAKING FLAMETHROWER ERASER?" Mic almost spat the words out.

Aizawa wanted to slam his head on the desk, he really needed to make sure that the problem child stopped rubbing off on that poor girl."I guess that's plus ultra, just in a completely differently direction."

Shiozaki was weighing the decision in her head, giving up would be awful but if her hair was all incinerated it would take over a week for it to grow back.She shook her head, she couldn't let herself get intimidated."Sorry Yaoyorozu but It won't be that easy for you." She then attacked with her hair only to watch as jets of flame and napalm completely burnt her hair away leaving only ashes to remain.She quickly detached the flaming hair and watched as it went up in smoke.Seeing that a frontal assault was useless then then decided to split her hair and attack from both sides.

As expected Momo, watched as she now had multiple targets instead of one, she quickly started waving her flamethrower about, incinerating everything that tried to reach her."I told you it's pointless Shiozaki.Give up." Momo tried to convince the girl but she clearly wasn't going to give up.

"You can't burn hair that you can't reach!" Ibara quickly retorted before using her quirk to bury her hair in the concrete and have it begin digging it's way to her opponent.

Momo saw what her opponent was doing and smirked, she fell for it."I'm sorry but it's over Shiozaki." The girl quickly dropped her flamethrower and pulled another one out before firing it at her opponent.

Shiozaki saw what was happening and immediately tried to detach her hair but it was too late.She felt a prick in arm and looked down, sure enough there was a dart sticking out of it, she was suddenly intensely queasy.Everything started spinning, she tried to use her hair to keep her upright but that soon faltered and she collapsed.

"SHE'S DONE IT AGAIN FOLKS!YAOYOROZU MOMO WINS BY KNOCKOUT!CAN ANYTHING STAND UP TO THIS GIRL AND HER CREATION QUIRK?!"

Momo was blushing at the volumes the crowd were cheering for her.It took her a few seconds but she found her favorite green haired teen cheering for her as well.She knew she was making the splash All Might wanted.She's almost guaranteed to reach the finals now, after all there's no way she'll fall for Shinsou's quirk.She doesn't like putting other people down but in a fight versus a person with no quirk and no way to ambush her, her victory is basically guaranteed.

Monoma was cursing up a storm back in the viewing section."Why does 1-A have so many broken quirks!?She built a fucking flamethrower for christ's sake!I'm pretty sure that's gotta violate some kind of rule or something!"

Kendo just sighed."I mean Todoroki can just create fire from his hands so that's probably not illegal, plus Midnight would've stopped the match if it was.Monoma when you fight her use Yanagi's braid, you can steal her weapons and use them against her, that's probably your best bet if you end up fighting her."

Monoma did a 180."Of course!Your not our class rep for no reason.I will defeat 1-A.AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Kendo did her best to resist knocking the boy out before his match.

Shouto Todoroki was staring down the blonde boy from earlier that openly berated their entire class.He reminded him of Bakugo in a way, a mass of pride that will stand for nothing less than absolute victory.However Bakugo was broken by Midoriya and now it's time for Shouto to break this boy.

Monoma was running through which quirk of his classmates would help here.Black will be pretty useful since he can hide in the shadows made by his opponents flames and ice, mushroom can target his opponent regardless of how they hide, and steel can protect him at least for a bit from both of his opponents quirks.Vines is pretty useless here, lizard tail splitter will let him dodge his opponents ice opening which he's done every match.Monoma was currently carrying the entire weight of 1-B on his shoulders, there was no way he was going to let them down.His class had given him a plan and he was going to follow it.

"It's the second to last fight of the quarter finals and it's one to watch folks.We have the son of the number 2 hero himself, sporting ice and fire as his weapon and fighting's his game, Shouto Todoroki!On the other side of the ring we have the copy quirk user, whose quirk could he possibly have, nobody knows folks, it's Monoma Neito!READY?FIGHT!"

Todoroki dropped the largest glacier he was capable of, hoping to end this fight quickly, instead of victory his opponent suddenly separated into like thirty different pieces.That was not how he saw this going but he quickly adapted, changing to his fire and trying to burn all the pieces.He managed to get a few before they suddenly joined back together and disappeared entirely.Todoroki was starting to get slightly worried at this point.How many quirks could his opponent copy?He decided to take the safe option and wall himself off from his opponent, it'd be easier to watch out for surprise attacks if Shouto reduced the total amount of space available.That should have worked but then his feet suddenly started melting into the floor before the ground resolidified effectively trapping him.Todoroki recognized this quirk, he'd seen it used in the last round and knew how dangerous it was.

Monoma was cackling internally, no foe could withstand the entire might of class 1-B!All the blonde had to do was keep up the pressure and he had this.His opponent should be trapped at this point now it's time to to cause as much panic as he can.He switched to Fukidashi's quirk and created the word slam, he brought a terrible force upon Todoroki's ice shield.Now, for the final blow, he switched to mushroom using the humidity change caused by his opponent's melted ice to quickly spread as many spores as he could.All he needed was a few of those to reach his opponent, once he got his opponent's throat the match was over.

Todoroki felt the blow to his structure but was unable to dodge as his feet were still stuck in the floor.He kept trying to produce more fire hoping to melt the words that fell from the sky, seriously what was this quirk.It felt like he was fighting Yaoyorozu, it felt like his opponent could do whatever they wanted, he had already used at least 5 different quirks.No wait a minute, this was like fighting Midoriya, someone with too many quirks to count.He had never once won against that but if he could win against this he could defeat Midoriya.In his haste he decided to freeze everything around himself even the ground, he managed to free himself from the frozen ground by melting himself out but it was at that moment Todoroki realized he was choking.Why couldn't he breathe?His throat felt clogged and he was choking, he grasped weakly at his throat as he kept trying to breath but no air was reaching him.

"Ah you see now member of class 1-A, you face the combined strength of 1-B.You will never win this match, with the power of all my classmates I will defeat you.You will begin suffocating soon, I can stop the pain now if you want." Monoma began cackling.

Todoroki was flailing, his breath was failing him.He had no idea what his opponent had done to mess him up this much.He fired off another ice blast only to see his opponent split themselves again.He couldn't breathe, this was it wasn't it?He collapsed upon the floor and passed out.

"I can't even describe how many quirks were just used in that fight folks.Monoma Neito wins by knockout!The resident copy quirk user wins!"

Kan was so proud of his student, he really won with the powers of all of 1-B combined.He now had someone who could win this festival and to be honest he was frankly angry at how much 1-A had been dominating.Seeing his student defeat one of the strongest in 1-A was cathartic and maybe he wasn't a useless teacher after all.

Back in the 1-A viewing stands a certain spiky haired blonde stewed in his anger.

Bakugo looked around as he begrudgingly had to listen to his reject classmates talk.

"Wow Todoroki lost, I'm kinda surprised about that, that 1-B kid reminded me of fighting you Deku." Stupid Round face said further irritating Bakugo, like he wasn't even competition to Deku, fucking Deku of all people.

Shitty hair was the next to talk."Honestly yeah bro, he used like 6 quirks at least.That's even more than your currently using.What's your plan to beat him?" The red haired teen asked as he was generally intrigued.

Bakugo was infuriated that the extras weren't even considering that he could make it to face that stupid copy user instead of Deku but ... part of him knew it was true.Even if he beat the nerd Deku wasn't fighting the nerd at his full strength either, that's not even a real fucking victory!

"Ha ha guys, I still gotta beat Bakugo first.Speaking of." Izuku turned to face his opponent."You ready?"

"Of course shitty Deku, I'm going to mop the floor with you." Bakugo spat out.

"Good, see you down there!" With that Deku jumped from the viewing section and glided down to the stage with Jetstream, a cocky grin on his stupid face.

"THE MATCH HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET AND IZUKU MIDORIYA IS ALREADY GIVING US A SHOW!"

Of course that damn nerd would do something like that, was that a challenge?If so Bakugo Katsuki wasn't backing down, he threw himself over the ledge then used his explosions to soften the landing.

"Bakugo Katsuki too?!Eraser why is your class so extra?!"

"I promise you I didn't teach them anything like that Mic." Aizawa lazily responded, hoping those 2 idiots wouldn't mess up and fall or something.

"Bakugo, I would like to think that I know you better than anyone and I also know what it's like to be weak." Izuku was really hoping he could make Bakugo fight seriously."Right now when I look at you I see weakness, if I could handle your bullying for six years and still become strong." The greenette paused as he sucked in a breath."YOU CAN GODDAMN COME AT ME WITH ALL YOU GOT!YOU HEAR ME?BRING YOUR A GAME CAUSE I'M NOT HOLDING BACK!" Izuku roared at his opponent hoping to break him out of whatever reverie he was stuck in.

The nerd had a point, what kind of hero he wanted to be, his weakness, his strength, none of that mattered he was here to fight and win.His opponent being as strong as they were only made it more exciting, the nervous sweat from before would be a weapon used to bring out his best."...GOD DAMMIT YOU FUCKING NERD I DON'T NEED A PEP TALK!I TOLD YOU AT THE START DIDN'T I?I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU HERE AND NOW!"

"It's a clash of titans folks, the winners of the 1st round and 2nd round respectively.ON ONE HAND WE HAVE BAKUGO KATSUKI, OUR EXPLOSIVE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE WHO CLAIMED VICTORY FROM THE START VERSUS IZUKU MIDORIYA THE FAN FAVOURITE OF OUR VERY OWN ERASERHEAD.ARE YOU READY?COMMENCE!"

Bakugo flexed his fingers, small sparkles coming from his hand.He was eagerly watching his opponent, waiting to see who would make the first move.Deku on the other hand was keeping his hands neutral, neither on guard nor preparing for an attack.If the nerd wasn't going to do anything then he might as well be the one to get this started, after all waiting was not his style.Bakugo literally exploded into combat throwing himself at his opponent.He pretended to lead with his right knowing the nerd was going to expect it before quickly pulling back to fire with his left instead, somehow Deku knew it was a feint and avoided the explosion from his left.Probably another damn quirk, Katsuki was angry with himself for storming off in rage that night when the nerd spilled all of his quirks.

He quickly grabbed at the flame that missed from his first explosion and pulled it back it towards himself and Deku in an attempt to make some space between them but instead of dodging the fire the Greenette simply let it wash over him, smirking the whole time.Right, how could he forget the nerd was fire proof.

"Midoriya gets engulfed in an inferno!Is he okay?!Also since when can Bakugo control fire?!" Mic shouted into the mic.

Aizawa just sighed again, they were going to get found out at this rate."He'll be fine Mic, also how many times do I have to tell you not to shout in here?" His eyes flashed red trying to quiet his loud co host.

Feeling the heat slightly warmed him as Deku ducked under his opponents opening blast, Tempo at the ready.His eyes spinning rapidly in his skull as he took in everything around him.Bakugo was about to launch another explosion with his right arm.Deciding that he didn't feel like getting hit by that.Izuku launched himself straight into the spiky haired blonde, kneeing Bakugo in the gut after blasting himself forward with Jetstream.Izuku watched as his opponent let out a wheezing cough as the air in his lungs was violently expelled from the force.Izuku then grabbed him while he was disabled and threw him as hard as he could from the arena.Time resumed as Izuku dropped Tempo before any negative effects could kick in.

Bakugo saw himself flying towards the edge of the arena, breathing already being an incredibly difficult task, trying to concentrate on his quirk in addition was not helping.But Bakugo wasn't just born with a strong quirk, he was talented with it.He managed to get an arm up in front of him and used a blast to stop himself from flying any further off the arena.He landed in a heap next to the side of the arena but stood up slowly, trying to control his breathing.He glared at the nerd as he did.

Midnight was squirming at the sight of such manliness.

"You... didn't ... think... THAT WOULD KNOCK ME OUT OF THE RING IZUKU!" Bakugo was nothing if not tenacious causing the other teen to sigh.

Did he just use my name?"Well I am impressed Bakugo but you can't pretend your not still reeling from that attack." He easily saw his opponents strained breathing, and while Izuku was a nice person he wasn't about to show mercy, this time he would start the fight.Tempo had about another 30 seconds before he could use it safely while the limit was now 40 seconds per every use instead of 60 it still wasn't the most useful unless it ended the fight out right.

Bakugo was still struggling to breathe after that knee to the stomach, he hoped he could have a few seconds to catch his breath but the nerd was already charging it at him.The explosion user decided to buy himself some time by creating a large smokescreen and running inside of it as quickly as he could.He didn't expect it to last very long since Deku was using that air blowing quirk but he only needed a few seconds to recover.Bakugo created a few more smoke screens while he kept moving around in the smokescreen.It wasn't getting blown away which confused Bakugo greatly, until he thought about it.He then remembered the battle training, Deku was somehow able to see him through the wall!How the fuck could he forget!?The second he decided to use an actual explosion to try and catch anyone around him off guard, it was too late.He felt someone's hand grip his shoulder.

Izuku watched as his opponent ran around like a headless chicken.'Bakugo doesn't realize I have thermal vision does he?I wonder when he's gonna fiigure out I'm right behind him?Ah well, might as well have fun with it.' "Boop." Izuku whispered in Bakugo's ear as he grabbed his shoulder.

Katsuki tried to jump forward before Deku could attack him but the grip on his shoulder was like a vice.'How the fuck did the nerd get behind me?!' Bakugo was about to let out a blast behind him to make some distance but a second hand grabbed his collar, the hand then pulled, hard.Katsuki felt his back slam against the floor causing him to grunt in pain.'God damn it I am not losing like this.' Bakugo looked up at his opponent while he laid on the floor."DIE DEKU!" It was then that Bakugo went well beyond his maximum unleashing the mother of all explosions at the nerd.

"HOLY CRAP FOLKS THAT EXPLOSION WAS MASSIVE, IS MIDORIYA ALRIGHT?"

Momo was looking down in worry at the scene, she hoped Izuku would be fine, she trusted him after all.

Izuku eyes were in pain, all he could see was black, his ears were ringing, he smelled smoke and his chest felt like an explosion had ripped through it.Oh wait, it had.He was back first on the ground but he stumbled to his feet taking the opportunity to take stock of his present situation.Well he was near shirtless now, multiple bruises on his skin, no burns thanks to his fire resistance quirk.Still felt like a jackhammer drove itself into his chest though.He saw Bakugo starting to get up.'Fuck I'll fix it with regeneration later he still had a fight to win plus it'd look weird if my body suddenly started fixing itself.' "Gotta say ... that ... was ... kind of ... rude Kacchan."

"It was supposed to you damn nerd, you gonna finally start taking this seriously now?" Bakugo was outraged that this damn nerd thought he could play with him, HIM of all people.Honestly that was supposed to knock Deku out but of course he was still standing somehow, probably another bullshit quirk if the boy had to guess.

"Eh fine, I guess I will since you asked so nicely." Izuku pretended to start stretching before he ripped off what remained of his destroyed shirt.Hopefully the crowd wont be able to see his scar and put two and two together.It's not like he was ashamed of it at all, honestly it felt like a badge of honor.The greenette just didn't want to deal with any drama regarding it.

"Our contestant Midoriya removes what's left of his shirt, looks like we're getting more than one kind of show today folks!"

"Mic.Children are watching." Getting quite tired of his coworkers antics.

"We literally have the R rated hero down there Eraser, I don't think I can do anything worse than what she can."

Aizawa just grunted in defeat.

Meanwhile back in the 1-A stands.

"Holy crap Yaomomo, since when was Midori that ripped!?I kinda wish I'd locked that down myself."

Momo was furiously blushing trying not to make it obvious she was staring."Uh yeah, ha ...ha.." She squeaked out but then saw the scar that her boyfriend had been given by his current opponent of all things.She was definitely getting revenge on Bakugo later, she just wasn't sure how at the moment though.

Elsewhere in the city a young blonde haired girl scuttle out of the trash where she was dumpster diving, she couldn't live like this anymore she needed blood or she was going to crazy and stab someone again.Her attention was garnered by the TV outside of the alley where she saw it, perfection.Omigosh he looks so cute all bloody and bruised like that, the girl started licking her lips and fangs.I wonder if he would let me drink his blood?Maybe if I asked the people at U.A. if they would let me meet him, probably not but she couldn't keep living like this and heroes were supposed to help people right?Ever since Stain abandoned her she's had nowhere to go and if things kept going like this she's going to turn into a blood crazed beast.The urges were just getting stronger and she was running out of blood banks to rob, they kept buffing up their security after she robbed from them.She finally saw his name displayed on the screen, Izuku Midoriya huh?'I can't wait to get a taste of you.'

"Don't blame me for what happens next Bakugo." Izuku flexed all his quirks for a second getting a feeling for them but then quickly reined in the ones he wasn't supposed to be using at the moment.he had a few options here.He could safely use about half his strength quirk before it became lethal force, snapshot was ready though he might stick to just regular tempo after what happened with Tdoroki."Ah well, Plus Ultra."

Izuku rocketed himself toward Bakugo, thankfully he learned to wait until he got closer before activating it this time SNAPSHOT .1X SPEED.Izuku took everything in, the subtle shifts in Bakugo's expression, the way the air flowed out from his hands, the rapid change in stances taken by his opponent.Midoriya saw the movement in Bakugo's eyes, he was staring at his legs so he's probably gonna go low.'No forgetting how long we're in here this time Izuku, 5 seconds down 45 to go.'

Izuku watched as Bakugo tried to launch a feint with his left arm but Izuku saw the twitching of Bakugo's right arm and the sweat droplets as they slowly started to combust.Bakugo was going to try and blast his legs.The All for One user quickly jumped over the explosion before barreling down onto the other teen.Fist cocked back and he slammed it into the others face, giving his opponent no time to recover he used his other to blast himself down before the other could retaliate, essentially a jet stream powered axe kick as he brought his leg into the boy's shoulder, he swore he heard a crack from the impact of the blow.Another ten seconds down, 30 left.

Izuku watched Bakugo weakly hold his probably broken shoulder, as he fell backwards barely keeping himself standing after the two hits he just took.The greenette wasn't done however, and his opponent was reeling.Bakugo was saying something but Izuku had neither the time nor the ability to understand him at the moment, listening to someone talk at .1x speed was just gibberish anyway.

Time for the finishing move, 20 seconds left.Midoriya rushed forward one last time at the opponent who was trying to make distance, and grabbed Bakugo's shirt with the hand he used to punch him.The teen tried to resist of course but his non broken arm was shaking and moving oh so slowly at the moment.He threw the explosive idiot into the air easily with his super strength before jumping after him and grabbing his non broken arm so he couldn't do anything.Once Midoriya had the arm he started spinning rapidly with Jetstream before throwing the other teen as hard as he could into the ground.Did he just steal Bakugo's ultimate attack, yes.Did he care that he probably went a little overboard on Bakugo, not particularly.He just made sure the other teen was breathing and then cancelled tempo.That's when the migraine started.

"Holy crap folks that attack was brutal, Bakugo Katsuki is unable to continue, Izuku Midoriya wins!" Mic commented, clearly surprised.He was about to continue when his communicator went off."Hmm, hmm alright Midnight."

Aizawa opened one eye lazily."What did she want?"

"They just need some time to fix the stage, the little listeners broke it pretty well."

Aizawa just shrugged before going back to his nap.

"Alright everyone!We're going to have a short break, both to repair the stadium and to prepare for the Semi finals.Left Standing, we have Shinsou Hitoshi versus Yaoyorozu Momo and Monoma Neito versus Midoriya Izuku!All powerhouses in their own rights!So don't touch that remote."

Izuku helped his opponent into the stretcher before hobbling off the stage, his everything ached.Once he got out of view he activated minor regeneration thankful for the food he filled up on earlier as the bruises started to fade and since this was a relatively minor injury it should take 10-20 minutes at the most.A strange look from a passing civilian caused him to look down, right, he needed a new shirt.'I should go the viewing area and ask Momo to make me one.'

Once he reached the booth with the rest of his class he pointedly chose to ignore the whistling he heard coming from the pink skinned girl and the invisible girl."Momo can I get a shirt please?" It wasn't lost on Izuku how his girlfriend was looking away but her eyes were still pointed straight at him.

"Eep, oh um s-sssure Zuku." She held out her hand and a replica of the UA sportswear popped out.

He gave her a knowing smile and put the new shirt on.

"Aww Midori, we wouldn't mind if you stayed like that." A pout visible on her face.

"Yeah Midoriya just keep that stupid shirt off!" He assumed a pout was on her face as well but ya know, invisible.

"Dude I know Bakugo's a dick but that was kinda harsh what you did to him." Kaminari decided to join the conversation.

"Yes Midoriya you went beyond what could be considered reasonable force with your attacks against Bakug-" When Iida suddenly started vibrating before taking out his phone."My apologies I must take this call."

"But you guys saw that explosion Bakugo used, if I didn't know Midoriya was fire resistant that could have killed him kero."

"Yeah sorry guys I was kinda mad about the explosion thing, even I knew I went a bit too far there.Like Tsu said even if I'm fire resistant it still felt like I got ran over by a truck." He started scratching the back of his head while he said."I made sure to hold back though, just I probably should have held back a bit more."

She eyed her boyfriend, that definitely wasn't the entire story, it absolutely concerned the fact that Bakugo Katsuki was his personal tormentor.Though she didn't want to bring that up in front of the entire class so she just pushed it to the back of her mind for a bit."Just don't do that to me when we fight Izu."

"Don't you still gotta beat me first?" Shinsou asked with a smirk.

"No offense Shinsou but I can't see you beating Yaomomo.I have a feeling that it's going to go like it did with me." Ashido looked down after saying that."At least tranq darts don't really hurt."

"I apologize if I came out as being rude Shinsou but even you have to admit that I have the advan-" Her eyes glazed over.

"Shinsou.Let her out of it." Izuku chided him.

"Fine fine.It was just a joke anyway." He relented letting the girl free from his control.

Yaoyorozu began bowing before speaking."That was kind of rude Shinsou but as I was being rude as well I apologize."

"No no it's fine, I understand where you were coming from, you are probably going to win.I know you're not like Bakugo and saying it because you want to soothe your bruised ego, even I can see how bad this situation is for me.But I'm still gonna try my hardest!" He held up his fist as he said that.

"Of course Shinsou as will I." Momo politely responded.

"Speaking of fights to win, does anyone have a list of the quirks in 1-B because having to fight roughly 15 unknown quirks at the same time does not sound pleasant." Izuku saw what happened to Todoroki after all and was not looking forward to choking on mushrooms.

"Sorry Midori I don't think the teachers will give us that." She gave him a cheery smile.

'Well I guess I'm just Plus Ultraing this and ending the fight as soon as possible then.' Izuku thought to himself.

Yaoyorozu stood apart from her foe feeling for him but after what happened with Kirishima she wouldn't be showing any mercy.

Shinsou just gave a knowing smile."You know I wish I was blessed with a quirk like yours heroic, strong, flashy, that being said, even I wouldn't want your boyfriends quirk.Imagine having a quirk more villainous than mine, it's disgusting really."

Momo knew what Shinsou was trying to do but also wanted to try something out Izuku mentioned.She intently focused on the floor before responding."You know the ground, Izuku mentioned that the ground would try something like this but since I'm talking to the ground it should really shut up and take it's own advice.Just walk out of the arena." She was still in control good, makes sense she wasn't responding to her opponent after all.

"Huh.Of course he'd just figure out some kind of weakness to my quirk, that's so like him." He paused realizing he'd lost."Midnight I don't need to fight this match, I concede."

Present Mic let out an exclamation of shock."Whaaaaaa Shinsou Hitoshi concedes before I can even announce the match?!Yaoyorozu Momo wins!"

"It seems my lessons on the logicality of actions have at least reached Shinsou, he knew had no chance once Yaoyorozu found a way to defeat his brainwashing.Well since he's out of the tournament to those wondering Shinsou's quirk allows himself to take control of anyone who directly responds to a statement he makes.Which is how he won the previous two matches." Thank god he managed to reach one of his students, maybe some of the others were still salvageable.

Shinsou continued."Besides reaching the top 4 is a good showing for myself.You need to let Midoriya know to let me practice my quirk with him sometime." He gave the girl a legitimate smile."After all he's the one who changed my opinion of it."

"He does have that effec-" Her eyes glazed over after being put under her previous opponents quirk.

"Geez you're gonna let someone trip you up someday." Shinsou smirked at his opponent before releasing her and walking off.

When Momo finally recovered she was watching the back of her opponent get smaller and smaller.What a strange guy.

Kaminari was nodding back in the stands."Yeah man I wouldn't want to fight her either, between getting punched by a super strong fist or getting shot with a tranquilizer dart, I'm with Shinsou on this."

Jammingwhey had a point."Yeah I may of gotten a bad matchup but even I don't want to fight Black."

"Black?" Izuku interjected.

"Yeah green, your green so she's black.It only makes sense after all." She gave him a knowing smirk.

Izuku just sighed."Yeah that makes ...sense.Alright I gotta get down there I'll see you all in a bit." Izuku said as he threw himself from the viewing section before gliding down again.

"It's potentially the final battle between 1-B and 1-A folks.The quirk copy user of 1-B, more quirky than a circus clown, Monoma Neito versus the man who can create cyclones at will, Izuku Midoriya!Ready?FIGHT!"

"You know I've been bullied for my quirk before Midoriya.You never told me what your quirk was and I have to say I'm jealous.People laughed at my dream, after all who can become a hero when he has to rely on others to fight but now you stand before the might of class 1-B and how can I possibly let them down." Monoma said so mockingly.

Midoriya to his credit just started laughing at the sheer irony of that statement."You know, I don't think you understand just how much I get that.Even still I have a promise to keep, you may have the strength of all of 1-B but I have the strength of the people who believe in me, you will fall Monoma." Izuku balled his fist and pointed it at Monoma.Although internally Izuku was panicking, he couldn't let his opponent touch him.Who knows what'd happen if he got his hands on All for One.For some reason Monoma with that quirk seemed like a horrible idea.

Izuku immediately began blasting Jetstream in order to push his opponent out of the arena as quickly as possible only to see something familiar.His opponent split themselves into about 20 pieces and surrounded him on all side.Huh, of course it wasn't going to be easy, with pyrokinesis and fire breath it wouldn't be as bad but fighting someone with more quirks than him when he's at his strongest?Even if Izuku were at 100% this would still be a rough match.The only advantage Izuku had here was the fact that Monoma only seemed to be able to use one quirk at a time, but even then the changing period wasn't exactly long.

Time to unleash my newest move, if I can keep him from regrouping he can't use any other quirks... in theory at least.His opponent was currently in pieces all swirling around the arena so Izuku just started blasting the pieces with condensed air, he'd learned this trick from Mina actually.By changing how he held his hands he could change how the air was blasted out, and now he was using it to take pot shots at Monoma's floating body parts.Hopefully these have enough impact to injure said parts, when he tested it they left welts but that was at a much closer range.Out of the corner of his eye he saw a leg flying at him from behind, he held up one hand behind him and let out a wide range shot to keep it at bay.They were light enough that he could just push them where he wanted them to go, which meant that it was highly unlikely they would do any damage.

"It seems this won't be working, the pieces are too light and you can just keep blasting them with air to keep them away from you 1-A scum." Monoma started reeling his pieces together but then he noticed a problem Midoriya wasn't letting him reconnect himself, he was walling off the pieces of his body from each other, that was not good, Lizard Tail splitter uses a lot of stamina.His only option was to go up and try to reform out of range of the air blasts his opponent was firing.His landing strategy would have to be Black or Vines but the second takes some time to grow so Black it is.Once he'd gotten to what he believed to be a safe height he started pulling himself back together but then noticed that his opponent was flying right towards him.Monoma cursed internally, the only source of black had been his opponent's shadow, and now it was gone.

"Your not the only who can fly Monoma!" This was the result of all the years of hard wok, he had finally achieved flight just like the previous user, and she needed trigger to do that.He was blasting towards his opponent at his highest speed the only problem is he had to momentarily stop flying to attack but he needed to keep Monoma on this quirk.It seems his hunch about one quirk at a time was right since his opponent hadn't used any other quirks since the start of the battle.

"Holy crap folks this is quickly turning into an aerial battle!As long as they don't touch the ground outside of the arena they can pretty much do whatever they want." Mic explained for the crowd.

That announcement gave Izuku an Idea.If he could grab one of his opponents pieces he could just touch it to the ground to win.Midoriya saw his opponents foot and rushed it, if there was a moment for tempo this was it.He felt the world slow to half speed, he was not risking Snapshot this high up.His hand was inches from his target before it was whisked away in another direction.Feeling frustrated he turned before unleashing a massive gale upon the majority of Monoma's body but failed to account for the fact that when not on the ground his wind also pushes him a lot easier and he accidentally launched himself towards the crowd thankfully he recovered fast enough to right his body before hitting the crowd.

"Watch out folks in the crowd it seems your in the splash zone for this one!"

Izuku immediately shot himself back towards Monoma, he couldn't let the boy recover and switch to a more troublesome quirk.He was already starting to reform into larger pieces he was down from 15 to about 5 now.A leg was the closest piece so he threw himself at it only for it to try and kick him when he thankfully dodged and grabbed the offending thing.Yes!he did it.Only for his victory to be cut short when it split into two pieces and escaped his grasp.He grabbed after the now shin and foot but with their smaller size they escaped his grasp again and Izuku needed to start using his quirk to fly again as he felt gravity kicking in.

Monoma meanwhile was sweating up a storm, he was not supposed to be using this quirk for this long and having to re split his leg was tiring him out even faster.He was starting to slow down and he knew it, it was only a matter of time before his opponent captured part of him and once that happened he would not be able to reform.He shuddered at the thought of dropping his hold on this quirk while a piece of him was missing.No dismemberment today yes please.If his opponent wasn't going to give him time then he would have to make it, no making an omelet without breaking a few eggs and all that.

He started floating himself towards his shin leaving his other pieces closer to him so he could rejoin them quickly but if that much of his body was reformed he would begin falling."So you figured it out Midoriya, I'm not surprised.I can see why your trying so hard to prevent me from reforming." Monoma hoped his stall tactic would buy him some time, though the longer he kept using Lizard Tail Splitter the quicker he was going to get tired.

"I mean, it was a guess at first but it became pretty obvious the longer this went on.The only reason you wouldn't be using other quirks is if you couldn't use them." Izuku smirked as he said that before spying that Monoma was very very slowly moving his foot and shin back towards him.'Ah so he's stalling me.' Izuku thought.

"I must admit you're pretty strong Midoriya, your kinda driving me into a wall here.I'll be honest I wasn't supposed to be using this quirk for this long and if I drop my hold over it while a piece is missing you could imagine what would happen."

Izuku shuddered but remembered his goal."Yeah that would be pretty rough, your taking a huge risk using that quirk then.What if I knocked you unconscious while you were using that quirk?Wouldn't you die?" A few more seconds and tempo will be ready, your not the only one stalling Monoma.

It was Monoma's turn to shudder."I... hadn't thought about that but you're probably right.Your are correct, I am taking a pretty big risk with this one." Just a few more seconds and he'd suddenly jerk his limbs back thankfully it doesn't seem Midoriya has noticed what he's doing yet.

The familiar feeling of his brain recovering from Tempo hit and Izuku instantly charged the offending limb.If he was right Monoma had a limit on the number of times he could split, a limit he was quickly approaching.

Monoma was just about to pull his foot and shin back when Midoriya charged them.'Shit.I'm not fast enough but I gotta try.' He slowly started floating towards his limbs while they floated back towards him.

But Midoriya was faster he grabbed the foot and shoved the sneaker back under his shirt so it couldn't escape again before activating Jetstream in front of him to blow the two apart.He pointed his other hand behind him to slow him down before letting gravity do the rest of the work, only activating his quirk once he got near the ground."Good fight Monoma." He landed softly next to the edge of the arena before he grabbed the sneaker shoved it down over the line.

"Wait does that count Eraser?"

"Well a piece of him did touch the outside of the arena but ask Midnight."

Mic held up the earpiece before contacting Midnight and apparently that did in fact count.

"You heard it here folks, that counts.Izuku Midoriya wins by Ringout!"

Izuku grabbed the limb before walking over to his opponent who had just landed on the other side of the arena."That was a good fight Monoma, here you go." Handing over the other boys foot.

"It seems using Tokage's quirk was a bad idea, I hadn't considered I'd get trapped in it.Truly it is a shame I was unable to secure victory for 1-B but it was a good fight Midoriya.If someone in 1-A were to beat me honestly I'd like it to be you or Yaoyorozu."

Remembering what this guy did to Momo made him angry for a bit but he didn't want to be unsportsmanlike."Honestly if you could use more than one quirk at a time I would've been screwed.I do have to say the braid idea was really smart, you should add something like to your hero costume."

"I indeed shall be doing so, anyway best of luck in the finals." Monoma said as he reached his hand out.

Izuku saw the other boy holding it out and reeled backward, though he realized after the other only wanted a handshake.

Monoma on the other hand watched the weird behavior and retracted his hand."Not even willing to shake my hand?Truly you must think your better than me."

"Err I'm just a h-huge germaphobe.Yeah." Izuku quickly stammered out.

Monoma just shook his head."Whatever." He then turned and started walking away.

Izuku let out a sigh before flying back up to the viewing stand.Since his secret was out, no reason to hide it any more.

Aizawa was cringing inside the booth, keeping control of that child was already difficult now that he can outright fly it's even worse.This day was just getting worse and worse, as a consolation at least he won that bet.

Izuku just casually greeted his class like flying up the side of the wall was a totally normal thing to do."Hey guys.What's up?"

Jirou responded first."You apparently Green.Since when can you freaking fly?!"

"Oh well I didn't spend the last two weeks doing nothing.I was already pretty close at the start of the year I just finally got there a few days ago so I'm still getting used to it.Like how I accidentally almost blasted myself out of the arena."

Momo was pouting, how had Izuku not told her about that."I thought you said we weren't going to keep secrets from each other."

Alright so her pouting face was even more adorable all of a sudden."We're literally like 10 minutes from fighting for the top spot in the U.A. sports festival, why would I show you my hand like that."

"Still... fine your right, it doesn't make me happy though." She eep'd when Izuku sat down and laid his head on her shoulder.

He whispered "Don't worry I'll make it up to you later how does a massage in my room sound?"

Her face went instantly red."Um-mm ... sure." That last part was really quiet.

"Midori stop flirting right in front of us, it's not fair!" The pink skinned girl was frantically waving her arms.

He lifted his head before casually responding."Eh fine, by the way where's Iida?" Maybe the blood loss from his fight with Bakugo had lowered his inhibitions because he definitely wasn't normally this bold.

"Oh... he had to leave for a family emergency." Uraraka responded dejectedly.

"Huh I hope it turns out alright kero."

Izuku just nodded along with the frog girl.

"Can our finalists make their way to the stage, the final round is starting in 5 minutes.

"Whelp Momo we're here.You ready to get your butt kicked?" Izuku stuck her tongue out at her.

"Your so going down Izu." She went to to stick her tongue back out at him but the boy had apparently decided to up his antics even further because he fell backwards over the viewing the ledge causing everyone to panic for a bit.

Momo rushed over to the ledge before looking down at the sight of him just casually floating there tongue still out."You coming?"

"You know sometimes I hate you Midoriya."

Ah there's that adorable pout, yeah something is definitely up with him today.Also she used his last name it's official, she's pissed."Eh, no you don't."

"I hope you know your just making this worse for you." She sighed creating a wingsuit before jumping off and after her currently smug as shit boyfriend.

"Eraser are you worried about your students increasing lack of belief in stairs." Mic gave the man a questioning glare.

He wasn't getting paid enough for this."I don't think there is a word to describe how done I am with today Mic." Aizawa just sighed again.

Toshinori sat smugly in the teacher's viewing booth, he saw his two successors staring each other down and he'd never been more proud of either of them.Although he'd never imagined in a thousand years that he would be cheering on a fight between All for One and One for All, which made him let out a weak chuckle, truth is stranger than fiction the man guessed.Regardless Toshinori wouldn't pick a favorite between the two, even though young Yaoyorozu was his real successor and young Midoriya was simply someone he'd trained.Though he'd put exponentially more time into training Midoriya, he'd only wished he had as much time with Yaoyorozu, the man shook his head, it didn't matter."I'm so damn proud of you both, you two are gonna make this old man cry.' Yagi thought to himself, he only hoped his master felt even a slight amount of the pride he currently felt for his two successors.

That made Toshinori pause, he briefly wondered how his other teacher and previous sidekick were doing, they were both surely watching the U.A. sports festival, maybe they even saw him in the crowd.He hadn't spoken to Torino in years, which now that he thought of it, made the blonde man sad, he should reconnect with his old master after this event ended.

As for his sidekick Sir Nighteye, they weren't exactly on speaking terms anymore.The man simply couldn't understand why Toshinori would offer up One for All to anyone other than the person he had personally groomed to take the quirk, Togata Mirio if Yagi remembered the name correctly.

A small part of the number 1 hero wished to speak to his old friend and confidant again.Hopefully, this fight would prove why his successor was the correct choice and blow away any doubts the other man had previously, maybe they could even rekindle their relationship once Mirai got over his strange obsession regarding One for All.

The hero then affirmed his thoughts he'd given his old friend time to reconsider his choice, and he hadn't.All Might had no problem offering an olive branch after this event, and he'd do so.If even now Mirai refused to listen to him, well, Toshinori had tried, it wasn't his fault after that.

Toshinori refocused on the match below him, who would win?Young Midoriya who could only use the bare minimum of his quirks, or young Yaoyorozu who hadn't fully managed to master One for All yet.Both were heavily restricted in their firepower, yet they still reached here, the finals, his pride in them swelled once more.Best of luck to the both of you the man thought as he smiled down to the arena.

Bakugo opened his eyes only to see the greyish white ceiling of an infirmary room.'So he lost huh?Fuck, felt like he'd been through a woodchipper.' The teen struggled to sit up in his bed so he could look at the room around him but as he did he found the school nurse removing what looked like mushrooms from Icy-hot.He knew Icy-Hot lost but where the fuck did those mushrooms come from?

"The fuck?" Bakugo asked himself more than anything.

"You should stay still and rest dearie you were hurt pretty badly.Multiple ribs fractured, your arm was broken and parts of your spine were damaged.You were too injured for me to heal you in one go.I swear the things they make you all do to each other are simply unforgivable.Making children beat each other unconscious." The nurse frowned as she sighed.

'Deku fucked me up that bad?Shit, that sounds like something I would do, not the fucking nerd.' Katsuki turned to the screen to see the final fight starting, ugh of course those are the only two left.'Makes me fucking sick looking at it.' So he promptly rolled over, no need to watch this stupid shit.Plus his abdomen felt like a firecracker went off inside of him, might as well try to sleep it off.

"So we're finally here, huh?" Izuku turned fully scanning the arena and the crowd currently filling it."Kinda feels like a dream come true."

Momo followed his gaze."Yeah but it's one we earned Izuku, aren't you the one always telling me to have more faith in myself?"

The boy paused for a bit before responding."...It's just so for so long I was the quirkless loser.I guess part of me is afraid I'll wake up one day and all of this." Izuku gestured around him."Will all have been some kind of crazy dream.I never met All Might, or you, I'd still be back at my old school getting kicked into the dirt day after day after day.I just ... I couldn't go back to that life." Izuku had a thousand-mile stare going as he muttered that last part.

That last part slightly horrified Momo, her boyfriend never really did go into detail about how much he was hurting back then but to think it was that bad."Don't worry Izu this is all real and he'll never hurt you again, I'll make sure of that myself."

Present Mic chimed in cutting the two off."ARE YOU READY FOLKS!IT'S THE FINALS OF THE FIRST-YEAR SPORTS FESTIVAL!AND WHAT A SPORTS FESTIVAL IT'S BEEN.IT'S 1-A VERSUS 1-A THE POWER DUO THAT WORKED TOGETHER IN EVERY OTHER EVENT!EXCEPT NOW, HERE AT THE TOP!THEY'VE BEEN FORCED TO FACE OFF.IN ONE CORNER WE HAVE THE MAN WHOSE HANDS PRODUCE HURRICANES, IZUKU MIDORIYAAAAAA!AND IN THE OTHER CORNER, WE HAVE THE GIRL WITH A KNACK FOR GUNS, YAOYOROZU MOMOOOOO!READY?!START!"

Izuku wouldn't admit it to both Momo as his girlfriend, and as his currently very intimidating opponent but he did not like his odds for this match, the only advantage he had was mobility and even then, he wasn't much faster.Without access to his other quirks, he really couldn't think of a good strategy to beat her.The greenette knew what she was going to lead with since it was almost no risk to her and had a chance of ending the fight outright, that and well, she'd done it literally every match before this but that's beside the point.

So Izuku began running to the right while blasting Jetstream at his opponent to try and change the trajectory of the darts he knew were already on the way.He only had 3 usable quirks here, some of Super Strength, Jetstream, and Tempo, sadly EMP only works on things that are made with electronics so the guns Momo was using were unaffected but he kept that quirk going just in case she made something weird.He saw the darts uselessly clatter against the floor in front of him."Gonna have to do better than that Momo." He winked at her.

Momo sighed, she hadn't expected that to work and there was no way she could force Izuku into quirk exhaustion even if he's been using his quirk all day.He's had plenty of time to rest between matches ... with the exception of his last match but that match was only like 5 minutes at best, meaning she had another 25 minutes to deal with if she wanted that to be a valid strategy which it wasn't.Thankfully her boyfriend didn't have access to a large number of his quirks which meant she had far more options than him.While her boyfriend was rushing about she decided to weigh herself down with diamond armor to counter his wind quirk.She's not stupid enough to use regular diamonds which were incredibly brittle.No, she was using bort diamonds, the stuff used to make industrial-strength drill bits.Normally she'd go with carbon rings but that's too light for this fight, she did however make a staff out of carbon.The total weight of the things she added was around 150 lbs but with 8% of One for All coursing through her legs, she barely felt a thing, despite almost doubling her weight.

Whelp, Momo was now wearing a full suit of armor, and charging him with a staff, Izuku fired a few air bullets to test the water but that did nothing so he took to the sky to get out of her range.

Izuku stroked his chin as he thought.'Well we're at a stalemate here, she can't reach me or shoot me and I can't move her with my quirk and if I pick her up I doubt people would believe that I was just that strong.' "So Momo how do we want to do this?Cause as it stands we're kinda stuck like this."

Her response was simply dropping the staff and pulling out what looked like an Ak-47 assault rifle."Rubber bullets only dear, hope you can dodge well." She smiled at him while saying that but the expression was not one that would associate with a joyful person.

"Uh, Momo, I don't think you can use that thing here." Izuku said as he gave her a look of exasperation while floating in the air, about 15 feet above her.

"What, why?" Momo thought he was stalling her but his quirk limit was ticking down so that couldn't be it.

"Momo, if you miss.What's behind me?" Izuku stared at her questioning how the girl hadn't thought of that.

A light bulb went off in her head, which caused her to suddenly blush.

Midnight then slapped her whip into the ground, drawing the attention of the two."Midoriya is absolutely correct, Yaoyorozu, you may not fire that weapon as it risks hitting the civilians in the crowd!"

Momo just blushed further as she dropped the weapon.

"You've seen it here first folks contestant Yaoyorozu has brought a gun to a quirk fight.But is disqualified from using it due to safety concerns!"

Aizawa just slapped his face, he needed to save that poor girl from the problem child sooner rather than later.

"Really didn't think of that?" Izuku teased the poor girl.

"SHUT UP!" She quickly snapped back before retrieving her staff from the ground.

"I'm just saying." Izuku added as he started to laugh at the poor girl.

"Izuku when I get you down from there, I swear you're gonna regret making fun of me." The girl pouted back but without much bite behind it as her ears were still very red from what was essentially a rookie mistake.

"Well, that's a more of an if, as it stands there's not much stopping me from just staying up here indefinitely." Izuku taunted.

Momo hated that he was right, most of her other projectiles would be too slow to reach Izuku, and anything with enough velocity threatened the crowd."I know you have a quirk limit Izuku, I'm fully willing to wait until you run out."

"Well, that would be a problem." Izuku sighed as he descended, she was right.It would take forever for that to happen, but it would happen, and it's not like this match had a time limit, not to mention the crowd would probably hate watching him float there for roughly 30 minutes before descending and losing."Well then, I guess I'm going to have to stay down here then, won't I?" Izuku said as he landed softly.

Momo just gained a feral grin before charging him, a stun grenade forming in her off-hand, protective goggles forming on her eyes, and earplugs forming in her ears.The Ninth was not nearly as fast as normal with the armor she had on, but taking it off was foolish, so she'd just have to surprise or disorient Izuku before going for the win.

Izuku already saw the black glow of creation coming from her empty hand and got ready to deflect the object as her arm pulled back before throwing it at him with the supernatural strength of One for All, he barely deflected the thing as he backed up, using the propulsion from his quirk to make some distance between him and Momo.Though he was getting dangerously close to the edge of the arena, which was part of his plan but still incredibly risky.There was no way he could beat her in a battle of raw strength so he was going to have to get tricky and bait her into falling out of the ring.Though as the thing he deflected exploded, it caused his ears to ring and his eyes only saw white.Knowing that he was seconds from losing the match he just launched himself into the air, hopefully giving him some time to breathe, he climbed higher and higher making sure to remain as straight as possible since he had no idea where he was going.

Momo barely missed as she swung her staff down in a vicious arc aimed at her boyfriend's shoulder.She watched him fly higher and higher, well beyond her reach with anything but a gun, but once again those weren't allowed.She had to come up with some idea that could hit him in the air or be quicker and catch him off guard on the ground.Those were her two routes to victory, she slowly walked back to the middle of the stage pondering on what her next device should be.A net gun?No, Izuku would just knock it away.A grenade launcher with stun rounds?Potentially an option but there was a slight risk to the crowd so it probably wasn't allowed.As she ruminated her boyfriend's eye's opened, and he started looking around in panic before looking down and seeing her.

'Alright Izuku, she almost had us, and we're currently above the arena, what do we do?' She's too dangerous to fight on the ground and he can only stay in the air like this because he's essentially using the crowd as hostages.

"A close one from Yaoyorozu, it looked like she'd won for a second but Midoriya's quick thinking got him out of danger and into a safe location where he could recover.A good move on his part.What will these two do next Eraserhead?"

"Probably something incredibly stupid that I'll have to punish them for later." The man grunted.

Izuku descended once more, a good ten feet from Momo.He still really didn't have a plan other than trick her into ringing herself out but it was better than nothing, she was quite top-heavy in that armor so he could probably knock her over if she became unbalanced.Either way, he wasn't winning a drawn-out battle and he could barely hang on in a close-ranged one."Hey Momo, that was kind of dangerous, didn't think you could be so cold-hearted to me." Izuku made the best puppy dog eyes he could at her, if every other option wasn't gonna work, it was time for a different one, a psychological approach.

Momo just looked at him exasperatedly as she lowered her guard, like really?"Did you reall-

Izuku responded to her brief moment of vulnerability by blasting himself into her at max speed.She didn't sidestep the blow but Izuku's kick barely had any power behind it due to the short distance he had flown, not nearly enough speed built, and as his foot rammed into the chest plate of her stomach the black lightning the girl was radiating from her legs just increased in size, which made Izuku gulp and try to back off.But his moment of being stunned was interrupted when Momo grabbed his leg and held on, preventing him from backing off.

"Gotcha Izu." The girl smiled evilly as she brought her weapon down on his vulnerable ankle.

In response, Izuku blasted everything he had at the girl hoping she might lose her grip, One for All was currently being used in her legs, if anything he was the stronger one in this tug of war due to his quirk that increased strength all around the body and not just in one place.However, the weapon still came down, at a greatly reduced strength thanks to Jetstream giving her arm some resistance but it still connected and Izuku winced in pain as he ripped himself from her grasp.As he felt his ankle throbbing he could already tell that was going to bruise but it didn't feel like anything was broken thankfully, he took a few test steps from the other side of the arena and cursed as he felt pain walking on it.

"That wasn't nice Momo."

"Neither was that surprise attack Izuku."

Izuku just shrugged, she wasn't wrong.Izuku examined the situation one more time, the strength in her arms was just the physical strength she had from working out, his quirk was nigh useless on the girl but it could be used to slow and even knock back her arms and creations.If she stopped powering her legs with One For All he doubted Momo could move, potentially she's not even be able to stand.So maybe he could trick her into moving her quirk elsewhere?He doubted it though.

Momo had enough of just standing there and decided it was time to once again try to end this, she created a dart gun with her left hand and fired as she charged.Her hulking steps caused the ground itself to shake as she got closer, of course, the dart was deflected but she never really counted on it hitting.Just something to trip Izuku up, she once again lifted her bludgeon and was going to bring it down but then Izuku did the unthinkable, as she got close, he charged right back in, his eyes shifting unnaturally about at speeds that shouldn't be possible.She already knew what he was doing but just had to pray that she could survive this, if she did, she won.

"Snapshot." Izuku muttered as time stopped to a crawl.He focused on the dart gun help at her hip, her trigger finger slowly pulling back, another dart surely coming, above him, her staff was coming down for a not so gentle bonk on the head.Izuku's first priority was avoiding the gun, he blasted himself directly underneath the girls swinging arm, Izuku heard the dart release and go wide as he was now on the other side of her body.Her eyes were trying to follow his movements but he could see panic starting to form.He grabbed her wrist from below and bent it into an incredibly painful position as he darted behind her, bringing her arm with him, her fingers tensed under the stress causing her to drop her staff, and the object slowly start plummeting to the ground.Her other hand was already trying to reposition itself to fire another round but that was exactly why he got behind her, to make it as awkward as possible.Before Momo could aim behind herself Izuku kicked into the back of her kneecaps as hard as he could, using a bit more of his super-strength than he was supposed to.The girl buckled and her gun arm went flailing with her falling body, causing the object to fire blindly away from the both of them.Izuku just had to pin her and it was over, he had 10 seconds left in Snapshot.Though he decided to cancel it early to reduce the strain of its backlash.As time resumed to normal and her body toppled to the floor, Izuku heard the sound of many objects colliding with the ground, recognizing them immediately Izuku jumped back with Jetstream blowing the objects away as fast he could before covering his eyes and ears.

A few seconds later a blinding sound of explosions and pops went off from where Momo lay, Izuku was almost impressed at how stupid that would be under normal circumstances.She essentially used herself as a suicide bomber to make space between them."Man Mo, you really aren't making this easy for me." Izuku said as he opened his eyes and saw Momo still laying on the ground.His quick thinking had saved him from being blinded and deafened, but she was still dangerous.

When Izuku got no response he just repeated."Mo?"

The girl responded by violently twisting her legs to try and lift her body, but ultimately failing to do so.

"Mo, are you stuck?" Izuku asked incredulously.

"No!" She huffed back quickly.The girl then moved her quirk around to her arms so she could push herself up, but as she did so, her legs buckled as she tried to stand, once again causing her to fall over.

Izuku quickly realized the girl's predicament, ignoring his headache and the pain in his right ankle, he hobbled over to the staff she dropped when he grabbed her wrist.She still had the gun and other creations available, so despite her current status of being immobile, he was being cautious as he approached her.He kept himself to the side of her body without the gun, as she was currently stuck to the floor, pointing it accurately that way was basically impossible.As he got closer he quickly jumped onto her back grabbing her arms and pinning them above her head."We won't be having any of that today Momo." Izuku then pointedly held the staff just at the edge of her vision."Do you surrender Momo?I would rather not hit you with this."

The girl was silent for a few seconds, her quirk still flaring from her arms that Izuku was holding down due to a combination of his strength and the armor weighing them down."I said, do you concede Momo?"

More silence.

"Alright I didn't want to do this but you got till the count of fiv-."

Momo smirked, before creating a stun rod out of a gap she left in the back of her armor, tasing the boyfriend sitting above her.

Izuku let out a screech at the feeling of his body being electrocuted, violently convulsing before falling over next to the girl as he felt all motor control leave his body.The smirk on her face as she silently started pointing the gun at this body.Izuku cursed loudly, refusing to be beaten like this, he just activated Jetstream in both hands as his body convulsed knowing the pain it would cause.He wildly blew himself in all directions, unable to properly aim with his hands as they shook, just trying to escape his fate, his face and arms scraping against the concrete leaving the skin feeling raw and bloodied as he skidded about, but he accomplished his goal, he managed to get away from Momo before she could fire.

A few seconds later he stood again, his body still felt raw and slightly twitchy but the match hadn't ended.Seriously, he really hated not having access to any damaging quirks, his opponent could do whatever they wanted and he couldn't dish anything back."Alright Mo, I was being nice.I'm done with being nice."

"Yeah, and what are you going to do Izuku?" The girl smiled haughtily from the floor, which only made Izuku angrier.

"Woah folks, Yaoyorozu is still stuck inside the iron coffin of her own making, but even trapped on the ground, she's still dangerous.Midoriya on the other hand is willing to inflict dangerous self-injury to free himself."

Aizawa just sighed again, because they had in fact, done something stupid.

The crowd erupted as the match had yet to end but Izuku was drowning them out, he had to think, and he had to do it soon.An idea then hit him.

He'd dropped the staff after being electrocuted so he no longer had that, instead, he just turned his quirk onto the highest level of power he could before it started pushing him backward, walking slowly toward Momo.

She was curious what he was up to, but in her current predicament she couldn't do much more than create a shield with one hand and hold her gun behind it, she'd get a chance for a shot, she just had to wait, even immobilized as she was.

Izuku, on the other hand, just kept up the pressure, he didn't want to let her get any more shots off and with this level of force, it'd stop anything Momo tried to use on him, grenades, darts, net guns, all of it.

As Izuku got closer, Momo was getting less and less happy about the galeforce winds coming down on her, her hair was being messed up, she felt her body being forcibly shoved into her armor, as it was the only thing tethering her body to the ground it began to dig into her skin painfully, even her shield arm was starting to give, she had to start channeling more of One for All to her arms just to hold the object in place.This effectively meant they were both stuck like this, as Momo could neither move nor attack, and Izuku had to keep using his quirk.She had no idea what his end goal was until he stopped directly in front of her just continuing to blast away.

"So Momo, how long do you think you can stand this.These kinds of gusts won't cause serious damage to human skin, but just because I can't hurt you doesn't mean I can't make it incredibly uncomfortable.Also." Izuku turned to midnight."I've technically immobilized her haven't I?"

Momo realized his plan, he wasn't trying to do any more damage or cause her to surrender.He was just going to win by the immobility clause, and she WAS immobilized at the moment.Momo swiveled her head to midnight who looked like she was pondering something.

"Midoriya Izuku has a point, if the contestant Yaoyorozu Momo cannot free herself with ten seconds, she will lose the match!"

Momo was forced to watch as a timer appeared on the mega screen, counting down to her eventual defeat.Seeing as she had no choice anymore, she started creating everything she could think of, ranging from vials of acid to try and melt her way out of her armor-turned cage, to flashbangs that were harmlessly tossed out of the ring.She even brought her dart gun up and unloaded the entire clip at Izuku, watching as they just stopped in mid-air before being pushed back, one even came dangerously close to hitting her as it flew back.

She looked back up at the mega screen and it was down to 3 seconds, what else could she do?!She needed to somehow stand up but she could only keep her quirk in one place at a time.

Two.

Oh, she was an idiot.Momo prayed as her quirk flashed throughout her body, hoping not to break anything, if she did this wrong she could not only fracture her insides, she could easily cause lethal internal bleeding.

One.

8% Full Body, Momo screamed as her everything was suddenly cackling with black lightning, she practically lept from the ground with her newfound strength, cracking the concrete as she dug in, charging Izuku before he could even realize what was happening.This was her chance, she discarded her empty gun, forming another staff as she dashed into the wind.She saw the panic in Izuku's eyes and felt the wind increase, Izuku began to blow himself backward as he upped his total wind output.Momo responded by briefly jumping to 16%, causing her speed to double for a brief moment and she was in front of Izuku before either of them could realize it.She discarded her weapons and tackled the other boy, the weight of her armor and the power of One for All thoroughly trapping him underneath her.

Izuku struggled for a bit before he felt a taser against his neck, sighing, he realized it was over."Alright, alright, I give up." He then smiled up at her."Good job Mo, you earned this."

Wait what?She won?!

"IZUKU MIDORIYA CONCEDES!YAOYOROZU MOMO WINS!WE HAVE OUR WINNER AMONG THE FIRST YEARS, EVERYONE!"

She was just staring down at the boyfriend whom she had pinned, she actually did it.She won the sport's festival.She couldn't even hear the roars of the crowd all around her as she was too focused on the fact that she had won.

"Not to sound defeatist but I knew I basically had no chance from the beginning, I did try my best though.And for a second I thought I had it, but alas you got me Mo." Izuku laughed lightly from below her.

Wait Izuku thought he never had a chance?"Huh, why?"

"With just Jetstream I didn't have anything destructive enough to harm you from a distance, and with you're limitless options, I just couldn't see a scenario where I won.That being said the reverse is true, you only got me cause I wasn't allowed to use all my quirks.We're gonna have a real match one day, one where we're both at full power."

She paused in thought, a real match, that sounded nice but she couldn't resist teasing him."You just don't want to admit you lost."

Izuku laughed again."You're not wrong, I'm a very sore loser." Izuku then noticed Midnight as well as the entire stadium just staring at them lying there in the middle of the arena.The clapping had stopped and now only this awkward silence remained."Um, Momo?"

"Yes, Izuku?"

"Um, can you get off of me?Everyone is staring and that armor is really heavy."

Momo then came to the realization the boy beneath her had, a whistle from the crowd brought her out of momentary deer in the headlights moment.She then hurriedly rolled off of Izuku, utilizing a bit of One for All as she did.

Izuku wheezed as the weight on his stomach disappeared, taking a deep breath he didn't realize he'd been holding.Momo then extended a hand for him which he took gratefully.The crowd started making jeering noises and Midnight herself was saying something about the passion of youth but the duo just ignored it as they quickly left the stage.

"Jeez, my arms and face hurt," Izuku said as soon they got inside the tunnel leading to the arena, the flesh there felt so tender and like it was rubbed off.He then took a brief look around noting the coast was clear before activating Minor Regeneration, the green light of his quirk quickly working on mending his battered flesh.As that happened he stared at Momo who was standing there awkwardly, staring at him."Yes?"

She was still blushing, probably from the stadium jeering at them, but then muttered out something he couldn't hear.

"You're gonna have to speak up Mo."

"I can't take it off!" She stammered out.

Izuku looked at her and then just sighed incredulously, he could tease her about this but he chose not to.His girlfriend was incredibly book smart, but sometimes she just did not think about the consequences of her actions.Basically the D&D equivalent of 20 Intelligence and 5 in wisdom."Alright, let me think.I don't have Decay, I saw you making acid back there.Can you make some more and I'll help pour it?"

Momo nodded before making two vials of acid."Careful this can burn skin Izu."

"Yeah yeah, I figured, I'll pour really carefully along the back, it'll be easier that way," Izuku said as he brushed and pushed her hair around the back of her neck.He then very gently start pouring the substance in a line down the crease of her back.It was mostly silent until Momo spoke.

"I still can't believe I won the whole thing." Momo said but Izuku could hear the disbelief in her voice.

"Yeah well, you did, and honestly I'm not surprised, think about every single event we were in.We never took less than second place, and we destroyed everyone in the first event.I overheard Mic saying we set a new record for the obstacle course." Izuku then paused at the awful smell of the crackling and bubbling substance as it slowly ate away at the armor."That being said, we were both using barely any of our power, just wait till I can use all my quirks and any ones I get in the future, and you unlock more and more of One for All.Seriously though, I wish I had Life-Giver for this thing, it would've been so useful." Izuku said lamenting the unfortunate situation regarding him being a government secret.

"Aw it's okay Izuku, you'll get to one day.Until then I guess you'll just have to suck it up and use one quirk like everyone else, actually wait, you used like 5 quirks during the tournament, you don't get to complain." Momo pouted from in front of him.

"Yeah, yeah." Izuku then paused for a second as he continued to work on her armor."Hey Mo?"

"Yeah Izu?"

"I did say I'd tell you later, and I know you weren't there at the start of the conversation between Bakugo and me.So I guess, now's as good a time as any." He took a deep breath before continuing."As I told you all those years ago, he bullied me, badly.He originally targeted other people because we were friends as kids but then his amazing quirk came in, and mine ... didn't.It, it escalated when I tried to defend another one of Bakugo's targets.After that Bakugo decided the quirkless freak was the better victim, after all who would defend the quirkless kid?I was a genetic reject, lower than h-human." Izuku's breath and hands began to shake a bit but he kept going.

"Earlier, he came up to me about our childhood, he blamed me, ME for him being the way he is.That this whole time I was looking down on him, even after everything he did to me." The boy then clutched his stomach, feeling the familiar scar."Somehow his victims are at fault, what kind of twisted person abuses the people around him, not one hint of remorse, and then as soon as one of his victims fights back, they're the reason he's like this.I don't ... I just, Momo I think I hate him, even more so than my father.My father was just never around, sure he was a villain, but I never had to deal with him.Bakugo though?Every single day for over 5 years, I was burnt, scraped, hit, kicked, left bleeding on the ground.I want to hurt him, I want him to feel like I did, a useless Deku.I want to take his quirk, rip it out painfully then laugh as I'm the one doing the burning." Izuku had long since stopped pouring the acid, fully concentrating on his shaking hands.

"Izuku, are you done with the armor?" Momo asked without turning to him.

Izuku was shocked out of his thoughts."Oh, uh yeah."

Momo then ripped the armor apart with One for All powered arms before turning around, taking the acid, setting it on the ground, and hugging Izuku."It's okay, I'm here."

Izuku laid his head against her shoulder as she stroked his back.

"You're right to be mad, I'm mad too, not just mad, livid even.You're so much better than he is, do you hear me?He will NEVER compare to you."

Izuku nuzzled into her embrace.

"Also I will absolutely help you severely maim him."

That got Izuku to giggle."Hey um, I'm going to tell you something.Don't freak out please."

"He um, one time he told me." Izuku then remembered the quote."If you want a quirk so bad why don't you take a swan dive off the roof." Izuku whispered out what the other teen had said verbatim.

Momo was silent, even more so than she was before, her grip just tightened."Izuku, I want you to be honest with me.Did you ever consider that advice?"

Izuku gulped even though he had suspected she would ask."Y-yeah but not anymore."

Momo went silent once more, though Izuku could hear tears coming from her.The thought she'd never meet the person who'd changed her life because of that piece of shit enraged her.She was about five seconds from finding the other boy and beating him within an inch of his life.

Momo's grip tightening on him threatened to squish him but as her tears landed on his back Izuku did nothing, he just felt she needed this.

She then gripped his head and forced him to look at her."Izuku, if you e-ever are feeling like that again, y-you tell me.Do you u-understand?"

"Yeah Momo, I will." Izuku leaned into the girl once more.

They stayed like that for quite some time, thankful for the fact that no one but the participants were allowed down in the depths of the colosseum.

Once they both got back to their class viewing section, they walked to the back corner before sitting together.Thankfully Izuku's face had been healed for some time, so he didn't have to explain that to anyone on the way here.

"Oh hey, where have you guys been?" Kaminari asked.

"Yeah, you guys were gone for some time, though your fight was super manly," Kirishima interjected.

Froggy chimed in."Or Horrifying depending on how you look at it kero."

"Yeah, your face looked pretty bad there for a second there dude." Sero added.

Izuku just ignored them before sitting down."Sorry guys, can we be alone for a bit.We're both pretty wiped from the fight."

"Indeed, it seems I used up too much fat during our match." Momo added darkly.

The intercom then cut on.Interrupting the follow-up questions the class was certainly going to ask."The award ceremony is in 10 minutes, would places First through Fourth report to the arena."

"I guess this is us, I'd say 1-A did good very good, we took three of the four spots!" Ashido cheered.

"Eh, we did okay." The purple-haired Aizawa cut in.

"Dude you need to be more energetic, like me!" Pinky shot another fist into the air.

10 Minutes later

Monoma and Shinsou shared the platform for fourth place, above them in 2nd place was Izuku, and finally in first, at the top, was Momo.

"Alright, time for our awards ceremony!Today's Sports Festival for our first years was truly an amazing experience, but everything good has to come to an end and this is it for today's events!So, without any further ado…" Midnight takes a dramatic pause.

Something slams besides Midnight.Immediately, the crowds cheer again, even as Izuku, Shinsou, Monoma and Momo struggle to keep their balance as the ground reverberates.

"I AM HERE!" All Might bellows out.

"…it's time for our All Might to hand out today's awards for our winners!" Midnight Announces.

Izuku watches as All Might steps up to the 4th place podium shared by Monoma and Shinsou."You both did wonderfully and while I have not had the pleasure of teaching your class young Monoma I was most impressed by your showing.Combining the powers of your class to try and reach victory is not only a strategic thing to do, it's also heroic.You fought with the hands of your entire class on your back."

"Young Shinsou you learned an important lesson today, you have to use whatever tricks you can to achieve victory as your opponents will almost certainly do the same.Showing mercy or fairness to a villain has made more than one hero falter in their duties." All Might thought back to the first time he fought All for One and earned his injury.

"You both did wonderfully and I cannot wait to see more from the two of you two." All Might flashed his trademark smile before placing the medals he was holding upon both of them.He stepped away before walking to the second-place podium.

He hugged the boy in front of him, which was not lost on the crowd."Young Midoriya you performed excellently today even with the restrictions that were placed on you.I can only hope to see what the future has in store for your progress.Know that your efforts today were first class and that everything you've done was all with your own power.I knew I made the right choice by recommending you for the hero course since I met you all those years ago.Keep it up my boy."

Izuku felt tears in his eyes as his hero told him once more than he was worth it.He couldn't break down on national television so he did his best to keep it in but he knew it was going to be a futile effort.

Momo watched her boyfriend break down and begin crying.She needed to comfort him later especially after what he said about Bakugo, he wouldn't let him feel like this was undeserved.He saw All Might cover her vision, before hugging her as well."Young Yaoyorozu, you've certainly made a splash today.You remind me of my master so much, that bright unfaltering smile, and unfaltering unwavering level of dedication to being the best you can be and it has certainly shown.Know that you have made this old man proud." All might then turned and walked to the center of the arena where the mic was.

"With that folks the award ceremony is over!But remember anyone could be standing upon these pedestals today, hard work and being strong are synonymous after all, now let's send this sports festival off with a smile.Ready now everyone?!THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK!" All Might screeched that only to hear the crowds say something entirely different.

"PLUS ULTRAAAAAAAAA!"

A few moments of silence and some booing later.

"I just thought everyone worked hard." All Might said while visibly flustered.

"I can't believe that brat lost Sensei, maybe he isn't as strong as you think he is." Shigaraki was shaking with glee at the thought, all the easier he could tear him limb from limb.

"No, no Tomura, he was clearly not using all of his power.You told me he had the ability to breathe fire among other things.The boy must be trying to hide the fact that he has multiple quirks, so he only used his officially registered quirk and maybe some mental quirks?His reaction time did seem better far better than the average person's.However I must say I am genuinely intrigued by the girl he lost to, Yaoyorozu Momo was it?Her quirk is certainly interesting, and quite familiar yet, at the same very different than what I remember.All Might is there so it is possible that it could be what I think it is but there is not enough to tell at the moment." All for One mused while stroking his chin.

Shigaraki gave the TV screen his master talked from a confused glance."It is nothing Tomura, do not concern yourself with it until I am sure."

"Yes, Sensei."

"How goes your recruitment Tomura?" Sensei asked the boy.

"Oh, I've found an excellent candidate you'll be meeting him soon enough Sensei." Shigaraki answered with a manic smile.

"Good Tomura, very good." The line then cut.
