A/N: Hey guys I'm back, sorry for the hold up had to help my cousin set up for her wedding, got a new job and new roommates. Though it looks like things will be more consistent now so you can expect uploads more regularly now.
Also just a notice about two things, one I write several chapters ahead so if there are any grammar habits I have you won't see those fixed until a few chapters later(Also thank you everyone that points them out) Two when I respond to comments those are the comments that I haven't responded to since the last chapter so they might not be about the previous chapter. SO if you do leave a comment go to the chapter right after you posted it to hear my response. (Thank you all for the comments by the way.)
SuperSonic2654: Thank you.

Chapter 33 Sport Festival Start
After the USJ and the run in with Rui the students of UA have been working hard to make sure they would be prepared for next time. Though none of them could deny that they were excited because the sports festival was just days away. "Alright class I hope you're all ready," said Aizawa "The sports festival is coming and I want to see your best out there, good luck. Class dismissed."
With that several of the students got up to leave. "I'm so pumped." said Yae. "We finally get to let loose and show the whole world what we're made of. How about you guys, you pumped at all?"
"I'm excited," said Melissa. "I've never really been a part of a sports festival before and I get to see my dad when he comes to visit, so I'm looking forward to it."
"My parents are coming too."
Izuku looked around and saw several people getting excited. "Wow everyone is getting really excited."
"Well what did you expect," said Ojiro. "The sports festival is a big event."
Iida nodded."Indeed. It's broadcast all over the world. It's only natural to get excited."
"Izuku...everyone," said a low voice getting their attention they all looked to see Ochako with a dark serious look on her face. "Let's crush it."
"OCHAKO!?" said Izuku as he saw her face.
"I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST!" she said as she raised her fist. Soon the other students did as well.
"What's up with Ochako?" asked Mina.
Mineta had an idea. "Maybe she's on her peri-" SLAP Tsuyu was having none of it and slapped him with her tongue.
"Whatever," growled Katsuki as he went to leave only to find the doorway blocked. "What the hell is this?"
Everyone looked to see that the hallway was blocked by several students. "Whoa who are these guys?" Asked Kirishima
Izuku looked and recognized Yuki in the crowd. "Those are students from the other classes. What are they doing here?"
Katsuki was getting annoyed "Oh get out of the way ya damn extras."
"Wow, I came all the way here to see the famous class A and I have to say I didn't think you were so arrogant." said a tall purple haired boy as he moved to the front of the crowd. "I hope not all of the kids enrolled in the hero department are as shitty as you."
Bakugo narrowed his eyes at the purple haired boy, "Excuse me, who the hell are you?"
The boy smiled. "Did you know several students who couldn't make the cut to the heroics ended up in the general education course and based off of the results of the sports festival people can transfer to the heroics course, and the reverse is also possible."
Several students got a bit worried at the idea that they could get kicked out of the hero course, some didn't believe it, while some of the heavy hitters of class 1A were now eyeing Shinso. Even Melissa could tell something was weird. "Yae, this boy."
Yae didn't even need to hear it. "Oh yeah, he's been training, a lot."
Izuku then looked past Shinso to the crowd, 'He's not the only one, the students of the general studies course, most of them look like they just walked out of boot camp. Even Yuki looks like she's been working more, no, the biggest difference not only for her but for most of them…'
'There eyes,' thought Bakugo as he looked at the eyes of the mob he was facing. 'There's a whole hell of a lot of fire and determination behind those eyes, they truly mean to take our positions in the hero course.' A massive grin split Bakugo's face. "Well ain't that interesting, you trying to take our place in the hero course huh? Now I'm getting excited, you better show us something good, ya damn extras."
"Hitoshi Shinso," said the boy, finally introducing himself. "Remember it when I take your spot."
"Okay stop scaring us," said Mineta not believing what Shinso was saying. "There's no way the teachers would kick us out of the hero course."
"Yes they would." said Izuku with a nervous look on his face.
Mineta looked at Izuku with fear of what he was about to say. "What do you mean?"
"I think I know what's going on here." Before he could explain, several students in the crowd began to move as Yushiro and Tomo walked through.
"Hello students, what's going on here?" asked Yushiro hoping no one started a fight.
"Mr. Yushiro," yelled Mineta. "Could you please tell these guys that they can't take our stops in the hero course."
Yushiro raised his eyebrow. "Why would I do that?"
"Because they can't just take our spots, we're in the hero because there's no room."
"Actually both classes have two open seats." clarified Tomo
"Yeah but they can't take our seats."
"Yes they can." said Yushiro soon several students from the class 1A and those listening in from class 1B were now slowly shaking in fear. "There are several ways they can move to the hero course and take one of the positions."
Mineta was now slowly turning into a melted mess. "Hey relax dude, it's not like they have the training we do." said Sero trying to cheer Mineta up.
"Yes they do." said Izuku dashing their hopes as he looked at Yushiro. "You trained them didn't you sensei."
"Of course I did." Most of class A froze as they heard those words.
Mina pushed herself to the front. "WHAT? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? YOU'RE OUR TEACHER NOT THEIRS."
Yushiro was a bit bewildered by this. "I'm a teacher of UA, they are students of UA. So it's my job to reach out and offer a helping hand, to teach them so that they can reach their goals."
"Yeah but what if their goal is to take our place in class 1A?" yelled Mineta
Yushiro was silent for a moment as he connected the dots. "Oh you mean the sports festival, well of course I would prepare them for that. You should have been preparing as well, if not you could be kicked out of the course."
"YUSHIRO" everyone turned to see Aizawa cutting through the crowd. "What are you doing?"
"Just explaining how some of the students might be kicked out of the class if they screw up in the sports festival." said Yushiro like it was something obvious.
Aizawa groaned for a moment. "You're not supposed to do that."
"What do you mean, UA has done this before, you yourself have replaced several students in your class, you even expelled your entire class once."
"Yes but you're not supposed to say anything, or else you're going to cause the students to panic." said Aizawa which then caused the students to panic.
Iida raised his hand. "Wait, sir. Are you saying this is true?"
Aizawa sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Yes and as Yushiro said we have been doing this for quite some time but we usually try to do this quietly so no one freaks out."
"Oh please," said Yushiro. "You don't give these students enough credit, I'm sure some of them have done their research and figured this out awhile ago."
Tomo tapped Yushiro's shoulder. "Sir" she then pointed at class 1A where some looked like they were on the verge of tears and some, like Mineta, were actually crying. "I don't think they knew about this."
"Oh I see."
"HA, none of that matters." said Bakugo, walking through the crowd to leave, before stopping and turning around to look at Shinso. "I accept your declaration of war and I will win, so be prepared to get crushed by me." Bakugo then walked off and soon the crowd dispersed.
~o~
"Well that was interesting." said Tomo as she opened a portal to the outside of Inko's apartment. Followed by Izuku, Melissa, Yae, Ochako, All Might and Yushiro.
"Says you, I'm pumped." said Yae as the door to the apartment opened, Yae ducked as a flying Eri jumped over her.
"TOMO" as she landed in Tomo's arms
"Hello Eri good to see you again." said Tomo, giving the girl a hug. "Sorry, we haven't been visiting as much lately, we've been busy."
Eri shook her head. "Don't worry I understand." As she gave them a sweet smile that melted everyone's hearts.
'So cute.' they all thought.
That's when Inko popped her head out of the door and invited everyone in. Soon everyone was sitting in the living room, and then she soon brought a tray of drinks for everyone. "So the sports festival is coming up, are you all excited?"
"Oh Yeah," said Yae, pumping her fist. "This is going to be awesome."
Ochako got her serious face on. "I'm going to do my best."
"Same here," said Melissa
Izuku nodded. "This year looks like it's going to be big, so I'm going to try my best."
"Yes, I expect great things from you, all of you." said Yushiro "But that does remind me, have you filled out the paperwork, so you can use your sword in the tournament?" Izuku's face shifted to one of shame as he remembered how he had lost his sword during the USJ. "Izuku you're still not hung up about the sword are you? It's okay, we have several blades that you can use."
Izuku shook his head. "No that's not it, well not entirely. I've decided that I'm not going to use a sword during the sports festival." This surprised everyone as they had expected him to enter with a sword, as that was the weapon he was the most skilled with.
They all then turned to Yushiro, expecting him to say something against the idea but he didn't mind at all. "Very well then, I look forward to seeing what you can do."
Melissa was now surprised by this. "Are you sure about this, I've checked and if you bring a dulled or training sword in it is allowed."
"No," said Izuku now resolved in his decision. "I want to see, I want to see how far I can go with my own abilities, my own strength without my sword."
"Alright, then, I won't bring anything in either," said Yae. "I'll go in with my two fist and show everyone who's boss."
Melissa looked at Yae. "Did you even know you had to fill out paperwork to bring your gun in?"
"Nope, I was just going to bring my stuff in anyway."
Ochako couldn't help but smile. "That sounds about right."
Yushiro started to rub his temples. "Come now Yae, really?"
"Huh? What'd I do?" as Yae was now confused with the looks everyone was giving her.
"EXCELLENT." said All Might. "I can't wait to see you all go PLUS ULTRA."
Soon all of the student in all courses began to train hard as the sports festival approached. Though they weren't the only ones moving.
~o~
Shigaraki and Overhaul were walking through a warehouse in a hidden location. "Wow they found a lot of demon DNA quicker than I expected." said Overhaul as he looked at a list. "Are any of these demons good?"
"I don't think so," said Shigaraki honestly. "Most of them came from a mountain that the old demon slayers used for training, so most of them are probably low leveled, but the spider family did find one big fish that I think might be interesting. Though with the help of those genetically altered spiders it's only a matter of time before we grab more moons."
"My question is what do you plan to do with the big one, the one that used to lead them." asked Overhaul.
"Don't worry, sensei already has a plan for that one." As one of Kurogiri's portals opened. "Now come let's see what our enemies can do." as they stepped through the portal. "I'm curious to see- WHAT THE FUCK" The both stopped as they saw a massive flat screen tv sitting on one of the tables in the corner of the bar. "Where did this thing come from?"
"We stole it," said Twice sitting on one of the stools. "Now we have to bring it back."
"Come on, you didn't really expect all of us to huddle behind that dinky TV to watch the sports festival, did you?" said Kumori as she was sitting in one of the booths with Rui and Kuran playing cards.
"I'm surprised you guys haven't stolen a bigger tv by now." said Rui as he drew a card. "Damn." as he saw his card.
"Shouldn't you have a better poker face" said Kuran
"Yeah, didn't that body belong to a child actor or something." said Kumori as she drew her card.
"Yeah before half of a studio fell on him." said Rui. "Though his quirk that allowed him to have better control of his body might come in handy."
"Actually I have a question," asked Kuran, raising his voice to get Shigaraki's attention. "How did that happen? You gave us details on me and Kumori's bodies became 'available.'
"You mean hijacked." said Kumori bluntly.
"Yeah, the body I'm in the guy was in a lot of debt for his gambling he did and paid the price for it, but how did you get Rui's body? Surely they should have noticed the body of a famous child actor go missing."
"It was a lot easier than you would think, the whole situation was a huge cluster fuck, the director was blackmailing the staff to sleep with him and the pyrotecnic tried to kill him, and the studio was trying to keep everything quiet, so in realty it was stupidly easy to steal his body." Said Shigarkai as he remembered thinking he could have just walked in and grabbed the body while everyone outside was arguing. "I'm pretty sure they were still screaming when I left."
"Hmmm, I see, thank you for satisfying my curiosity. Also four aces." he said showing the cards.
"What, how'd you get all the aces?" asked Kumori leaning over the table grabbing his shirt. "Did you cheat? Are you hiding cards somewhere?"
"No, I just got lucky." he said, totally calm.
She gave him a doubtful look. "Okay where are you hiding the cards, don't make me strip you."
Kuran's four eyes went wide. "WHAT?"
"I'm out." said Rui, dropping his cards and jumping out of the booth.
"Get a room you two." said Twice. "No do it right now."
"Don't you dare, I just cleaned the place up." said Kurogiri.
"You call this clean." said Overhaul as he looked around the old dirty bar.
The door then opened revealing Chrono, Mimic and Rappa. "We got SNACKS." yelled Rappa as he grabbed a seat in front of the TV next to Rui. "Come on red, you better not disappoint me." The others soon surrounded the TV except Overhaul and Shigaraki
Overhaul then heard a loud groan from Shigaraki. "What's wrong with you?"
"This place is getting too crowded." he said as he made a mental note on finding a bigger hideout.
~o~
"I can't believe you went to get snacks now." said Aizawa as he and Present Mic navigated through the crowd of the UA sports festival. "We need to get to the announcement box in twenty minutes."
"Oh relax we got time." said Mic as he ate his takoyaki. As they were walking a woman with black hair that reached just to her shoulders, with big round glasses, wearing a black sweater and jeans, with an over the shoulder bag. She looked lost. "Uh hey miss you looking for something?"
The woman looked up. "Oh yes Mr phones, I'm looking for my husband. We were looking for my daughter but I think we got separated in the crowd."
"Have you tried calling him, on your phone?" asked Aizawa.
"Oh good idea sleepy man." she said as she grabbed her phone out of her bag.
"Sleepy man?" he said as he looked at Present Mic for a moment. "You must be Yae's mom."
The woman smiled. "Oh you know my little angel huh? She hasn't killed anyone yet has she?"
Both men slowly turned to each other before looking back at the woman. "I got questions."
"Risa," said a man with brown short hair in a suit as he walked up. "I just got a hold of Yae apparently they're already in the locker room about to start," he then noticed the two teachers. "Oh who are these two?"
"This is sleepy man and Mr phones, they somehow know our little monster." said the woman named Risa, with a smile as if she didn't just call her daughter a monster.
"Wait you two know Yae?" said Matozo
"We're her teachers." said Mic
"Oh I see," he said before bowing. "Thank you for taking care of her, I know she can be a bit of a handful but she's a good girl at heart."
"She just breaks a lot of things." said Risa, Yae's mother, while smiling.
This caused Matozo to chuckle a little. "Anyway I would love to stick around and chat but we should go and find our seats."
"Wait." said Risa before turning to the two teachers, her eyes darkened as she gave them a serious look. "You two are her teachers correct, then do you by chance also teach Izuku Midoryia?"
Aizawa was a bit surprised by the mood change. "Yes he's also one of my students."
"How would you describe someone like him, would you say he's a good kid?"
"Yes, admittedly he's one of the best behaved kids in my class." he said honestly.
Risa seemed satisfied with the answer as she began to smile once more. "That's good, well then we will see you later then."
Soon the Ryoshi's left the two heroes. "You know Yae's starting to make a lot of sense now." said Mic.
"Seriously?"
"No."
"Come on we're going to be late now." as they went to the commentator box.
~o~
All of class 1A were currently waiting in the locker room making any and all final preparations needed for the sports festival. Some were a little nervous while others were getting excited. "Man I wanted to bring my costume." complained Mina
"They have to keep it fair for all of us," said Ojiro. "I mean it wouldn't be fair if Izuku came in with his sword while the rest of them would be weaponless."
"I guess," said Mina as she looked at Izuku who was simply sitting down meditating, though Mina had a question. "Hey Midoriya," Izuku opened his eyes and looked at her. "Sorry to break your concentration and all but I got a question, one I've had for quite awhile, why do you always wear those earrings. I thought they were just to complete the look of your hero costume but I realize you wear them all the time."
Izuku touched his hanafuda earrings. "Oh well, they were a gift from someone who helped me."
"He gave you earrings, that's an unusual gift."
Izuku took the earrings off as he placed them in his hands. "Well I don't know if he expected me to wear them, he wanted me to use them as proof that I met him, so I could get some more training from people he knew, but when I learned I wouldn't be able to give them back I decided to wear them to honor him."
"Why can't you give them back?" asked Denki
Izuku put the earrings back on. "I can't, he's not of this world anymore." Izuku's tone confirmed what he was trying to say and many of the students understood it.
Mineta tilted his head. "Wait so you mean he's like an alien or something?" not all of them understood.
Todoroki on the other hand had something else on his mind as he walked towards Melissa. "Melissa could I speak with you for a moment?"
"Uh sure?" She got up and followed him to the other end of the room.
Some of the other students saw this. "Oh do you think this is a love confession?" asked Toru
"Maybe" said Mina
"No," said Yae getting up. "This is something else."
Melissa was now very confused as Todoroki was giving her a serious look. "Sooooo uh what is it you wanted to tell me?"
"You're All Might's niece,"
"Uhh yes."
"And I'm the son of Endeavor the number two hero."
"Okay where are you going with this."
"I'm going to beat you."
"HEY," they looked to see Yae staring down Todoroki, "Hey half ass, shut the hell up."
"This is none of your bus-"
"Shoto," said Izuku as he too stood up. "Your business doesn't belong here, Endeavor nor All Might are here taking this competition, we are. Don't forget you're not the only strong student here, we have several talented students here, so instead of declaring war on one student you should try to do your best because while you might be just staring down Melissa the rest of us are looking for the gold."
Shoto was quiet for a moment before walking past Izuku. "Fine then I will beat you and Melissa."
"I have no idea what that was about," said Melissa. "Thanks by the way."
"Don't mention it." Izuku then looked at the clock. "Hey prez I think it's almost time."
"Your right," said Momo standing up. "Alright everyone it's time we head out, let's give it our all."
"YEAH"
~o~
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE ENTERING THE STADIUM RIGHT NOW, IS OUR VERY OWN CLASS 1A" as the stadium erupted in cheer as class 1A entered the stadium getting everyone's attention.
"Why is everyone freaking out about them, we fought villains too." complained Monoma.
"Give it a rest Monoma," said Jack as he looked at class 1A, specifically Izuku. 'Today we learn if I can beat your powers.'
"Look at them getting so full of themselves." said Chikuchi from the general studies.
"Don't worry, we'll take them down a few pegs." said a blonde girl.
"We shouldn't get too cocky though." said Yuki "Some of them are quite strong." as she eyed Izuku and Bakugo.
Shinso followed her eyesight. "You went to school with them right." Yuki stayed silent. "Don't worry this is just a sports festival, nothing too crazy will happen."
"Just leave me Bakugo," all of general study looked at Yuki. "I just want Bakugo."
Shinso smiled. "Okay, but no hard feelings if anyone takes him down first."
Yuki smiled. "Just wipe that damn smirk off his face."
Above in the stands several people were watching as well. "Hey look, it's Yae." said Matazo, happy to see his daughter again. "She looks like she's doing good."
"Yes," said Risa as she smiled at her daughter before looking over the other students, before her eyes landed on Izuku. "So that's the boy, Izuku Midoriya."
"YOU GOT HIS NAME RIGHT?" The Ryoshi's turned to see Yushiro and a very wide eyed Tomo looking at them. "Mr Yushiro, she got Izuku's name right."
"Indeed that is a bit of a first. You usually don't remember other people, Risa, What's different with Izuku?" asked Yushiro, curious himself. "Are you finally warming up to others?"
Risa looked down at Izuku and at Yae. "I don't care for other people, I still believe a majority of humanity are a waste of space and are stealing the oxygen of those more important, but my daughter is interested in the boy and that's enough for me to remember him."
"Yet you won't remember the name of the man who gave your husband a job." said Tomo, giving the woman a skeptic look. "You have been screwing with us."
Risa just gave Tomo a smile, before turning to Yushiro. "How have you been Mr Vampire."
"His name is Yushiro."
"I hope my daughter wasn't too much trouble for you. Have you been drinking any good blood lately."
Some might have expected Yushiro to be annoyed by this but he was far too used to this. "I'm doing just fine and if by blood you mean tea then yes, also I think you two will be happy to hear she's made some positive changes and her abilities have grown quite well."
That peek Matazo's interest. "Really I can't wait to see my little girl in action."
"Come, I have seats for us, along with some of the other parents." said Yushiro as he led them to their seats.
Down below things were just getting started as Midnight stepped onto the stage. "Greetings everyone and welcome to this year's UA sports festival. Before we get started we are going to get a word from this year's representative, Japan's former number one vigilante, Izuku Midoriya."
Soon the crowd cheered for Izuku as they began to chant 'Demon Slayer'. Izuku was a bit surprised by the response but shook it off as he walked to the stage. "Hey why does Deku get to be the representative?" asked Bakugo.
"He's the one that got the highest score during the entrance exam." exclaimed Momo causing Bakugo to growl which made yae make fun of him. "Don' fight now please, save it for the final round."
Izuku walked up to the mic and cleared his throat. "Hello everyone, I'm going to try and make this brief, all of here are trying to be heroes, all of us are giving our all here, we all are dreaming to be heroes, it won't be easy but I hope we can all show you the heroes that will be there for you in the future and show you what we're made of, so I want all my peers to show everyone what we can do so please give it your all and go plus ultra." The crowd cheered in excitement, as Izuku stepped back and leaned a little towards Midnight. "How'd I do?"
Midnight thought for a moment. "Needs work but I think you're on the right path. Don't a few sessions of my PR class will rough out the edges." With that Izuku went and rejoined his class earning praise from his peers a fist bump from Kirishima. "Alright now, let's find out what the first event of this year's UA sports festival will be." On the stadium's jumbotron a cycle of several events appeared as it spun around until it stopped. "Obstacle course will be the first event. Can we please have all students go to the west entrance of the stadium." The west entrance lit up as several students as a group walked towards it. "This event is exactly how it sounds. The students will race around the stadium as fast as they can all while avoid all the obstacles blocking their path, the only rules are that they can't step off the path and that they can't interfere with any of the other competitors, other than that anything goes, now then."
On the Jumbotron a countdown began and soon the crowd began to count the timer as it went down. "3….2….1….GO"
