Despite the fact that many weeks that had already passed since the League of Villain's attack, news about the event still buzzed around as if it was the only news even worth mentioning. Sakura scrolled through her computer, finding nothing that she didn't already know about the event.

Sighing, the pinkette got up and reached for one of her antique boxes on her dresser. A soft smile reached her face as she opened the lid, satisfied with the fact that her U.A. acceptance letter was still there, unopened. The girl checked the time and soon placed the box back up before making her way to the door.

Quickly locking her doors, the pinkette went on her way to school. As she neared the school'd gate, a familiar voice from behind her called out to the girl, trying to grab her attention. Whirling around, Sakura was met with warm brown eyes.

" Sakura-chan!" Uraraka smiled, running up to the girl. " Lets walk to class together!"

Sakura nodded, returning Uraraka's wide grin. The two girls made their way to Class 1-A, and when the got in, they were soon met with the loud noises of the room that was contained by the closed door.

" I still can't over the fact that we fought with actual villains!"

" All Might was amazing!"

Sakura rolled her eyes despite her smile to which Uraraka let out a small giggle at her friend's expression. The pinkette walked over to her seat, and just as she sat down, Iida demanded everyone to be seated as well.

" You're the only one out of their seat." Kirishima pointed out, causing the taller boy to mutter under his breath as he walked back to his own desk.

The door suddenly opened to reveal Aizawa, his face sill bandaged. Everyone was silent as the Pro walked up front, slightly limping in the process. Once he reached his desk, he cleared his voice as if he was about to deliver an important speech .

" You guy survived the villain attack, but the fight still haven't ended." Aizawa drawl, causing his student to curiously stare at him, wondering what he meant. " The U.A. Sports Festival is drawing near."

" It's a great opportunity, tops heroes around the country will be there for scouting purposes." Yaoyorozu said.

At this, the students jumped up in excitement once it had sunk in. The U.A. Sports Festival was an event Sakura have always watched since she was in grade school. Although she had never gone in person, that didn't mean it was any less exciting on screen. The Sports Festival was an event where the first years were able to show off what they had.

" But is it a good idea, I mean we recently just had a villain attack." Jiro asked, raising her hand.

Aizawa sighed in agreement. " Yeah, but the school believe holding the Sports Festival would show how we're still rock solid even after an attack."

Sakura silently agreed with what Yoayorozu had said earlier. The Sports Festival would exposed her ability to the world since the event was so well known, and that was exactly what the pinkette wanted. The more the world knows of her power, the more she be given opportunity from other Pros. It was only natural for Hero Agencies to scout the most capable interns.

" If you understand the importance of this event then you better work hard and not lack off." Aizawa informed, getting nods from the students. " Homeroom class dismiss."

Sakura got up from her seat, knowing there would be some time before modern literature with Cementoss would start. She walked over to Bakugou's seat and plopped herself on top of his desk, causing the boy to look up at her.

" What do you want now Bubblegum?" Bakugou asked, however his voice wasn't as irritated as it would have been months ago.

Sakura shrugged her shoulders before blowing her bangs out of her face. " U.A. Sports Festival is still happening, and I suppose you'll be aiming for first place, aren't you?"

" Obviously." Bakugou said, leaning back into his chair so he was balancing it on its two back legs. " What's it to you? Don't tell me you want to work together until we face off. Sorry, but I don't do truce or teamwork."

Sakura let out a laugh before hopping off the desk. " No. I just wanted to let you know you're not the only one aiming for the top. Watch out Firecracker cause I'm going to be giving it my all as well. The next thing you know, I'll be breathing down you neck as I take first place."

" Alright class, settle down into your seats." Cementoss ordered, and obliging to the request, Sakura made her way back to her desk and sat down for the lesson to start. For the rest of the class time, Sakura spent her time writing down notes and listening to the lecture, finding nothing as interesting as the up coming festival.

As Modern Literature's class finished and they were dismissed for lunch, Sakura stayed behind with those who still haven't left for the eatery. And just like her, they were all bubbling with eagerness for the Sports Festival.

" Sakura-chan. Deku. Iida. Lets all do our best at the Festival." Uraraka said, eyes burning in passion. But there was something off about how her eyes blazed with determination.

" Are you okay? You don't took like your usual self." Ashido pointed out and Sakura had to silently agree with her.

However, Uraraka only nodded in signal that she was okay. " Everyone, I'm going to do my best!" The girl shouted, turning from one side of the room to the other, looking for someone to share her passion with. Sakura, being the closest to Uraraka pumped her fist up as well.

" That's right!" Sakura cheered. " I'll do my best as well! Lets do this Ochaco, we'll dominate the festival and win the whole damn thing!"

The two girls left the classroom with their eyes burning in determination, Iida and Midoriya following them closely from behind. As they got in line to enter the eatery, both Sakura and Uraraka calmed down, their voice now more of a normal tone.

" Why did you two decide to attend U.A. to become Pro Heroes?" Midoriya suddenly asked. " Is there a specific reason?"

The brunette suddenly looked around sheepishly, as if she didn't know how to answer the question properly. " Huh?...well..It's because I want to earn money."

Sakura turned to her friend, curiosity clearly on her face. " Money? You want to become a Hero for money?"

Uraraka scratched the back of her head abashed as if she was ashamed of her goal. However, she soon stopped when Iida encouraged her that her goal was nothing to be embarrassed because there was nothing wrong with wanting to support yourself.

" I know, it's just so unwholesome considering how you three have such admirable dreams." Uraraka replied to which Sakura looked away as if she had something to hide. " My family owns a construction company, but business is slow so we're flat broke."

" But with your Quirk, you'd be able to help out a lot, won't you?" Midoriya asked " You'd be able to move heavy material around easily."

Uraraka jumped up, her eyes big and lit up. " Exactly, that's what I told my dad. But both my parents refused my help, instead they said they wanted me to focus on my dream. They said it would make them happier to see me achieve what I want...But I'll definitely become a hero and make money."

There was a moment of silence, but after awhile, both Iida and Sakura started to clap loudly, cheering Uraraka on and drawing attention to them at the same time. However, when Sakura and Iida stopped clapping, Midoriya turned over to the pinkette.

" How about you Sakura?" The green haired boy asked, a smile on his face. " Do you have a reason as well?"

The pinkette was suddenly silent as she leaned against a window, her smile dropping the moment Midoriya asked her. She took in a deep breath before she looked up at her friends with a broken smile. " It's stupid, really. The reason why I started training to become a Hero would be one i'm most ashamed of."

Her words caused Iida to take a step closer to her. " Is it financial problem as well? If so, don't be embarrassed."

" No." Sakura replied. " I become a hero in-training to impress a boy. Sasuke Uchiha. I was twelve, maybe eleven when I went to Genin Academy, and during those years, I was always consider the dead weight considering how weak my Quirk was."

" Eh? But you're one of the strongest in the class, how was you Quirk consider weak?" Midoriya asked.

" I cared more about my looks then becoming someone who would save lives. Not to mention that most of the students during my year had all come from Hero families. Naruto Uzamaki was the son of the Fourth Hokage Hero: Yellow Flash. But maybe i'm only making excuses of why I was so weak." The pinkette answered.

Uraraka placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, a comforting smile on her face. " That's in the past now. You're not even in Konoha anymore. You said you were weak, so how did you become so strong? What motivated you to change?"

" I was tired of standing behind Naruto's and Sasuke's shadow, so I decided to take a step forward. But now that I think about it, I don't really have a reason to become a Top hero beside my admiration for them. I could easily dropped out right this moment. But I guess I want to prove myself...or something." Sakura said before suddenly stretching her hands up into the air and giving a yawn. " I'm not good a sentimental talk so lets stop."

Before anyone could bring up a different topic, All Might came charging at them, however, when he saw Iida and Uraraka, the Pro stayed half hidden in behind a corner. But considering how loud he was, it was no use masking his presence.

" All Might? What's the matter?" Sakura asked, staring at the man with a surprised look.

The Pro grinned widely before holding out his bento, bunny patterns on the wrapping. " Lunch! Wanna eat together, Young Haruno? Young Midoriya?"

Sakura turned to Uraraka who was busy trying to contain her laughter after seeing All Might's lunch wrap. " Is it okay with you guys if we go with All Might?" Uraraka only gave the girl a thumbs up, not being able to talk. " Come on Deku. Bye Iida, Ochaco."

Sakura grabbed Midoriya by his sleeve and pulled him over to All Might. Together, the three made their way over to the lounge where they could talk in moment they stepped into the room though, All Might immediately turned back to his original form.

" Sorry about that you two." All Might coughed. " I can only last fifty minutes now in my other form so I had to rush us over here. More importantly, I want to talk about the up coming Sports Festival with you two."

" W-wait, what do you mean? How come your time had gone down?" Midoriya asked, now sitting on the edge of his seat.

Sakura let out a sigh. " You already know why. All Might used his power over his limit too many times. It's during times like this that I wished we hadn't stop the research for you All Might."

The Pro only waved the girl off, not wanting her to blame herself anymore. " Have some tea you two. On to a different matter, Midoriya, you still can't control One For All, correct? So what are you going to do, not take part in the festival?"

The boy's face scrunched into concentration, after awhile his face relax. " There was this one time I landed a punch on Nomu. But there wasn't any backlash, I didn't break any of my bones even though I'm sure I had used One For All."

" Good, good. So what was different?" All Might asked, happy with some process. " Why do you think your bones didn't break?"

" Well I thought about it before..." Midoriya trailed off. " I think it was because it was the first time I used it on a person. I'm not so sure, but I'm sure it's because of that."

" That's good enough for now. But frankly speaking, I'm positive I don't have much time left as the Symbol of Peace." All Might said gravely. " That's what I came here to talk to you about Midoriya. The U.A. Sports Festival is an event the whole country is watching. As the new All Might, as the future Symbol of Peace, I want you to tell everyone that you are here. Izuku Midoriya, the next Symbol of Peace."

Sakura smiled as she down the last of her tea, chuckling at the shock look on Midoriya's face. However, just as Midoriya got over his shock, it was already time to head back for their next class. Before Sakura could leave though, All Might stopped her.

" Stay behind for a bit Young Haruno. I still have something to discuss with you." All Might as he waved good-bye to his successor.

The two went back into the lounge and sat down, no one saying anything for a couple minutes. But All Might soon let out a sigh and stared out the window. Silence continued to follow after that, but the Pro then looked straight into Sakura's eyes.

" You have a habit of holding onto the past." All Might said. " Cherry Blossom of The Spring, you need to learn how to let go and only then will you be able to create a dream for yourself."

" So you heard me? How?" Sakura asked, looking down onto her lap. " Never mind. The thing is, how am I suppose to let go? It's practically the reason why I'm here in the first place. If I hadn't met Sasuke, I'd probably be at a normal school will no thought of becoming a hero. Still talking about cute boys and shit."

" That's not the only problem though, is it?" All Might said quietly. " The research was years ago. You still talk about it as if it was a failure because you couldn't complete it. Young Haruno, someone once told me that sometimes letting go it the best option."

" Well you can't let go if it's tied around your neck." Sakura replied harshly, but she soon regretted her words. "...Sorry. I just don't like talking about who I was three years ago. But what can I do?"

All Might winced as if his words might hurt her. " I think it's best if you cut off connection with Konoha Twelve. It's clearly weighing you down from branching out."

The pinkette grew silent, not knowing what to say. She hung her head in thoughts, her bangs covering her face so her expression was hidden. Finally, the girl looked up, her eyes brighter then before and her smile twice as wide. " Okay. Maybe if I do as you suggested, I'll figure out a reason why I want to become a hero."

" You don't have to, it's only a suggestion." All Might said softly.

Sakura held up her hand, stopping him from going on. " Yes, but this is coming from you, The Symbol of Peace. Beside Lady Tsunade, you're my biggest role model. Speaking of Lady Tsunade, I owe her everything. The reason why I'm this strong is because she trained me."

" I'm guessing no one from your class even know the name of your Quirk. It's best if you tell someone though. Your Quirk is one of a kind, A Quirk that can be honed into something else is one to be proud of. No matter its past, no matter its first impression." The Pro commented.

" I have a question." Sakura said. " What brought this up? It can't just be because a couple students were talking about becoming heroes."

" Sharp as ever." All Might grinned. " You're right. I want to talk about the Sports Festival with you alone as well. Young Midoriya now know what's expected from him. He knows he's going to have to tell the world that he's here. But what about you?"

Not getting where this was going at, the pinkette tilted her head to the side in confusion. All Might suddenly got up and walked over the window, scanning the school's campus. He then turned over to Sakura who was still left in confusion.

" You are Sakura Haruno, pupil of Lady Tsunade, student of All Might, and a friend to the future Symbol Of Peace." All Might said dramatically. " Wielder of the Quirk Chakra, can potentially become the number one Hero of her generation, and you still haven't find a dream you can grow with. So fine, figure out your goal, but I want you to also announce yourself. Not just as a prodigy, but with someone with a title worth remembering."

" You want me to be The Symbol of Peace the third?" Sakura asked dumbfounded, but relaxed when All Might shook his head.

All Might pointed in the direction of Sakura's heart before moving it to her forehead. " I want you to give yourself a title. A title that no one can take. One that can not be passed down because it's yours and only yours. You don't require one now, but you'll need one when your name is spoken among those of top heroes. "

" A title?" Sakura's eyes widened, not expecting this from All might.

By now, the sun was high above the school, shedding it's blazing light through the window and into the room. And at the angle All Might was at, the light reflected off his eyes, giving off an aura of power that usually never appeared in All Might's skeleton form.

" Cherry Blossom Of The Spring I want you to be a hero who's not one in a million but one in a lifetime!"
