AN: Told you this wouldn't take long. Now, what is Izuku's answer?
'What did she say?' Izuku asked himself. 'She wants me to marry her. Is this real?'
Most of the students didn't even know what to say. Was this a prank? A way to distract the opponent? Was she an undercover villain? What was happening?
"Did I hear that right?" Ochako asked. "She wants to marry Deku."
"I think so," Mina replied. Despite being well versed in all manners ps gossip, not even she expected such a situation to happen. Especially to Midori.
Not even Toga, who told Izuku the harem plan, could believe it.
Bakugo was even right next to Izuku as it happened and not even he could believe what was going on. 'I know Deku is popular with some chicks but SHE WANTS TO MARRY HIM. IN HIGHSCHOOL?'
So what was Izuku's response to this situation? What does his brilliant mind think about this weird situation?
Boom
He ran away.
His speed was so intense that it left a massive crack on the ground.
"Izuku, hold on," Karen said before chasing after him. They both left the cafeteria in a confused and crazy place.
The only one who broke the silence was the foreign students.
"Um excuse me," Chakrii said, gaining everyone's attention. "Is this normal in Japan?"
"NO," everyone immediately responded.
Izuku ran down the hallway, not sure where he was going. Eventually, he just stopped at a random corner and tried to process everything.
'A girl told me to marry her.' That thought repeated in his head endlessly.
Oh god, what's going to happen? Should he accept it? Well, the girl seems nice, but he doesn't know a damn thing about her. Wait, she's a Kure. She could be related to Renzo. If he rejects her, would Renzo and his entire family come after him? But would that happen if he accepts? How would the others think?
Oh god, what would my Mom think?
WHAT WOULD ALL MIGHT THINK?
"Hello Izuku," a familiar voice said. Kure Karen had caught up to him and was standing right next to him. "So, what's your answer." There was a fire in her eyes, one that desired Izuku.
"I..um.." Izuku's fate could be changed with just one word. He needed a savior.
And his savior did arrive.
Karen was picked by her collar and lifted into the air. "Karen, what the hell are you doing?" Kure Renzo asked.
"I'm getting married Renzo," Karen said.
"Are you just doing what my mom did?"
"Yep. It did work after all?"
Renzo gave a sign before giving a powerful look towards Izuku, causing the boy to gulp. "Izuku, did you accept her proposal?"
"No."
"Then enjoy the single life?" Renzo said as he began dragging Karen away.
"WAIT WHAT?" Izuku asked.
"Look if I explained anything we would be here all day," Renzo replied.
"Well, Renzo, why don't you explain to my future husband?"
"You're not engaged, you're still in high school," Renzo said. "But whatever. Let me explain." Renzo put his sister down before explaining everything.
"So as you know our clan, the Kure Clan, pride itself on producing the greatest warriors in the world. To do this, we have relationships with the strongest fighters so that we can produce their heirs. Then we train them and they become even stronger than their predecessors. This is how the Kure Clan has survived for so long. So my half-sister wants to marry you so your children will be super powerful. Got it? Wow, that didn't take long."
"Okay," Izuku replied. "Wait, half-sister?"
"Oh yeah. This is my half-sister, Karen. We have the same father but different mothers," Renzo said. "That reminds me, you should also meet our other half-siblings: there's Niko Jr, Nenshō, Hōkō, Kashikoi, and Kiken'na."
"Our father sure was a player," Karen said in a humorous tone.
'Is this family normal?' Izuku asked himself.
"Hey, Karen, why don't you leave me with my future brother in law?" Renzo asked. "I have to talk to him about family customs."
"Sure. Have fun you two," Karen said before skipping away.
Renzo waved at her until she got out of sight. Then he dropped his act and put his hand on Midoriya's shoulder. With a very serious voice, he said, "Midoriya, you're going to have to accept."
"WHAT!"
"Trust me, you have to accept. She will hunt you down to the ends of the earth for you if you leave her hanging. So trust me when I say, you have to marry her," Renzo said.
"What if I say no?"
Renzo paused for a minute. "I honestly don't know."
"I'm sorry Renzo, but I just can't accept right now," Izuku replied.
"Why not?"
Izukus stopped for a moment, a clear sign of hesitation in his voice. "There are others."
Renzo immediately understood what he was saying. "sigh, Well I can't force you to do anything. But, you have to tell my sister. I'm sure she'll understand. Now, let's get back to the cafeteria. You need some lunch."
"You know, you could have lunch with the UA students. We know how much you like this school," Seiji Shishikura said.
"Sure, but I like you guys," Inasa Yoarashi replied. "PLUS I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THERE."
"Man, that sucks man," Camie Utsushimi said. "As your Senpai, I will make you have UA friends. You too Akiyama, you're not missing out."
"Thanks but I'll pass," a blond boy with seaweed-like hair said. "Besides, my sister would nag me if I didn't study today." His name was Akiyama Kashikoi.
His phone began ringing, bringing a harsh chill to the four students. Without hesitation, Kashikoi picked up his phone. "Hi, sis," Kashikoi said with a weak voice.
"Hello Kashikoi," Akiyama Kiken'na replied. "You better be congratulating our sister for getting into the third event."
"I will," Kashikoi replied.
"And you better be studying for our test next week."
"I am."
"Good. Also, Renzo is there. Make sure to say hi to him when you can."
Kashikoi's eyes went wide. "RENZO'S HERE," he shouted with enthusiasm. "Sorry guys, I gotta go. I'm gotta go, my brother's here." Kashikoi then ran off, in search of his half brother.
"Wait, he had a brother?" Shishikura asked.
After that weird encounter, Izuku was finally able to come back to the Cafeteria. He needed to get his mind off whatever that was. However, life didn't give him that hope.
"Deku, what the fuck was that?" Bakugo asked.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Midoriya, are you okay?" Itsuka asked.
"I don't want to talk about it."
Izuku then went and sat down right where he used to be. Chakrii and Saw then exchanged looks as they saw the horrendous look on Izuku's face.
"So are you getting married?"
Izuku responded by placing his face right on the table.
"I can make a cake," Saw said.
"I think he needs more than a cake."
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE, IT'S TIME FOR THE THIRD EVENT," Present Mic yelled.
All the students who had won/tied in the Basketball event were there. They were all waiting intensively on what the next event would be.
"AS TRADITION, THE FINAL EVENT WILL BE ONE OF EPIC PORTIONS," Present Mic stated. "ONE THAT WILL YOU ALL QUACKING IN YOUR SEATS."
Two words appeared on the massive screen. "BATTLE TOURNAMENT."
"ARE YOU EXCITED AS I AM?"
The crowd roared in anticipation, this was the event they were waiting for. The conclusion of every UA tournament, the event that everyone paid attention to. It was the biggest and most exhilarating event in the tournament. Where the very best of UA showed off it's fighting prowess.
This year was especially exciting; two other schools had also made it up to this event. How far they will go depends on the individual's talents. Either way, this will be a tournament that many heroes will turn their attention on.
"TO EXPLAIN THE RULES, WE HAVE OUR LOVELY MISS MIDNIGHT," Present Mic said.
Stepping up to the podium, Midnight came wearing a referee uniform. "Alright, Students, listen up because I'm only saying this once."
"To start, the rules are simple. To win you must beat your opponent in four ways. One, knock them unconscious or make them unable to move. When this happens, you must break away from your opponent immediately. The second is a ten-second knockdown. When your opponent is knocked down and stays down for ten seconds, you win. The third is a ring out. When your opponent is pushed out of bounds, they are automatically disqualified. The final way is for your opponent to give up. Once they forfeit, you can not harm them."
"During the fight, you are allowed to use your quirks. How you use it is fine as long as it doesn't break any other rules and hurt the audience members. You also cannot attack any eyes or neck. Other than that, have fun everyone."
"NOW WE MUST ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT OF THE ROOM," Present Mic said. "FOR THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE TIED DURING THE SECOND EVENT WE HAVE COME TO A CONCLUSION."
"You all pass," Eraserhead said in a dull voice.
"NOW YOU TALK."
The groups who had tied breathed a sense of relief. Their hard work had paid off in the end and they finally were able to progress.
"However, if anyone would like to drop out, now's your chance."
Much to everyone's surprise, three hands rose. They were Denki Kaminari, Shihai Kuroiro, and Setsuna Tokage.
"Wow, what a surprise. Not just one, nor two, but three students have chosen to drop out. If you may, can you please explain why you three have chosen to drop out?" Midnight asked.
"My quirk isn't suited for this kind of combat," Setsuna explained. "No way I'm fighting a losing battle."
"Same with me," Kuroiro replied.
"As for me, I want to drop out before anything bad happens," Denki explained. He then whispered to himself, "Not like I can do anything with this lineup."
"WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT, FOLKS. NOW THAT WE KNOW WHO ARE PARTICIPATING, LETS SEE WHO'S FIGHTING WHO."
All eyes turned to Izuku Midoriya and Chaisai Chakrii. The two were famous for their famous duel it was because of that duel that they were here in the first place. When will they fight, was the question on everyone's mind?
The projector screen began displaying the tournament brackets, filtering through names. People watched with unquenchable enthusiasm. Their bodies could barely contain their excitement.
However, their results were not what they expected.

"Hey what's the big deal?"
"Is UA TRYING TO SKIP THEIR REMATCH?"
"BOOO!"
"NOW HOLD ON," Present Mic said. "The names were randomly generated, we didn't fix it."
However, it was not a UA staff who silenced the audience but one of the foreign students.
"Saw, shut them up," Chakrii ordered.
Saw took a deep breath before unleashing his roar. "QQQQQUUUUIIIEEEETTTTTTT."
The entire stadium shook from the roar; drowning the entire audience and bringing all attention to the two.
"Thank you," Chakrii then stepped right up Izuku, "I don't care how long it takes, or how many people I have to fight; I will have our rematch. So you better make it to the top."
"That's some big talk. Can you back it up," a cocky voice said. Bakugo came up and was ready to brawl right here and now. "You have to face UA's best, including me. You think you can handle that shit talker."
Chakrii grinned. "I can handle anything you throw at me." That was all he said before he and Saw walked away; preparing themselves for their matches.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Bakugo asked Midoriya.
"Because, I didn't want to spoil the moment," Midoriya replied. "Besides, he's right. I do have to make it to the top."
Izuku was given thirty minutes to prep before his match. He spent it stretching in the hallway. His mind needed to be focused in case anything happened. With him as support was Katsuki Bakugo, Itsuka Kendo, and Momo Yaoyorozu.
"Be careful, this purple-haired weirdo beat Iida in the Basketball game. So be prepared for anything," Bakugo said.
"I know," Midoriya said.
"You are the first one out, as a class representative and the first person representing the Hero Course, a lot of eyes are on you," Momo explained.
"I know Yaoyorozu. You don't have to remind me," Izuku replied. "Kendo, do you have anything to say?"
"Nah just kick some ass," Itsuka stated.
"Do well my husband," Kure Karen said. Everyone was surprised by her sudden appearance.
"Where the hell did you come from?"
"That's a secret," Karen said. "Do good Izuku."
"Thanks," but before Izuku could enter the arena, there was one more person to encounter.
"Oh hi Midoriya," Chakrii said, blocking his rival's path.
"Hey Chakrii, what are you doing here?"
"Oh well, there was something I needed to ask you," Chakrii said. He then put his hand on the wall.
"Can it wait?"
"Actually no. It's important," Chakrii's voice was becoming more...intense.
Izuku set his gaze firmly. "What is it?"
"Well you see, remember after our first match. We had a conversation and you told me you were quirkless." That sentence alone put Midoriya in a difficult situation. "So tell me, if your quirkless-"
"Then why do you have a quirk?" Chakrii's voice was full of overwhelming anger. His hand was crushing the wall right next to him. His aura was full of hatred and animosity. The Thai Boy was ready to annihilate.
"I'm sorry about that," Izuku said in a calm voice. "I was a late bloomer, so my quirk didn't appear until last month. I know it sounds silly but it's the truth." Izuku even got down on one knee and looked down. "I swear on my life."
Chakrii's animosity lived for a few seconds before dying. "Fine. There's nothing you can do about that. If that is true, then there's nothing I can do. But either way, quirk or no quirk, I will beat you."
Chakrii walked away, leaving an impression on the four students.
"Quirkless? What's he talking about?" Karen asked. But no one gave her an answer.
Izuku was now ready for battle. Without saying a word, Izuku stepped out towards the arena.
"Be careful Shinso, this guy is strong," Mikazuchi Rei said. "Even I would have a hard time against him."
"Relax Mikazuchi," Shinso said. "Just because he's strong doesn't mean he'll win. All I have to do is say the right word and I win. You can relax with your girlfriend."
"Hmph. If you say so, but don't say I didn't warn you."
And with that, Shinso stepped out into the area.
"HERE HE IS FOLKS. THE RISING STAR OF CLASS 1C, SHINSO HITOSHI."
The crowd made a small cheer for the student. He expected this. Shinso was not only new to the spotlight but was facing a more popular student.
"AND NOW, UA'S NEW STAR, THE BOY AS FAMOUS AS UA'S BIG THREE. THE ONE AND ONLY IZUKU MIDORIYA."
Izuku stepped out and was right under the spotlight. He was met with massive applause and a roaring audience. People cheered like he was the return of the next big rock star. Every step towards the arena was met with a loud cheer.
But there was one that Izuku was focused on. "Do well Izuku," Inko midoriya cheered from the stands.
Izuku gave her a quick wave before stepping into the arena.
