And we back guys, first let me say I hope all of you guys are doing well especially now with what's going on in the world with this virus. Please listen to what the centers for disease control recommends and stay inside if you have to even if it does get boring beyond belief. And incase you guys didn't hear there's big news. The bleach anime is coming back! I've been waiting for years hoping it would and they're finally going to animate the thousand year blood war. Anyways with that out of the way let me go on ahead with the chapter.

-Three days later-

"Ahh keep going." Izuku grunted as he continued on the bench press. It had been a couple of days since the incident at the USJ and the students had been given a few days off because of it. News of an attack on one of the most famous hero schools in Tokyo spread like wildfire and threw the public into a panic. The villains were getting bold.

Because of this the school rallied to find a way to calm the public, especially the parents of the students. In the last few days the young hero in training had eaten more than he usually did. After the battle with the nomu he'd felt weak. He theorized that in order to fully utilize his devil fruit he'd need a lot of energy. This hadn't been a problem before because he'd only faced small time thugs and Bakugo once. Nothing to make him actually work.

Hence why over the past couple of days he'd eat about four times the normal amount and strangely enough never once got sick from it.

Another thing, his kenbunshoku haki had gotten stronger as a result of the battle. During the battle he finally had clear images in full color and background. The only problem was that he couldn't call upon in at will like Katakuri could. If he focused he'd see the usual colors and even feel the intent but in more stressful situations he seemed to be able to clearly glimpse into the future.

Pushing the bar back in place he wiped his face with a towel he'd brought and turned his attention to the tv. On damn near every channel since the incident the attack is all they'd cover. Currently the station was showing film of the police taking what was left of the nomu into an armored car while some pro heroes were on the scene.

Seeing this he frowned slightly in annoyance. Once All Might had arrived the ring leader and his portal lackey had retreated with their tails between their legs. Soon after more heroes along with police and paramedics also arrived. Aizawa sensei had been treated along with any other injured students. Tsuragamae, the chief of the police had also asked to have a word with him once everything was mostly under control.

Since they were attacked no one was reprimanded for using their quirks without a license but he did have his trident taken. Originally the police had wanted to hold onto it but in the end had an agreement with UA and the school got possession of it. He was questioned as to where he'd gotten it but he'd kept his word to Momo and kept quiet. Seeing as they weren't letting up he'd ended up telling them that he'd bought it online. He was sure they didn't buy it but seeing as it had been useful in saving their lives they'd let it go.

While he was annoyed he wasn't too upset about it though, he was certain he'd get it back. It might take a little while, but he'd get it back. Worst case scenario he'd have to ask Momo to make another one. He turned his attention away from the tv and headed over to the dumbbells to continue his workout for the day.

The rest of his day consisted of eating meat and watching anything other than the news.

Next day

All of the students were finally back in class, some even relieved as being home with nothing to do was starting to have people antsy. The day was mostly over and were on their last lesson of the day. It wasn't as exciting as other days simply general education courses. Currently he was jotting down notes on his personal notebook while their current teacher packed up his things. He was writing down a theory on how to turn his surroundings into mochi as he'd seen his predecessor do. Currently nothing had worked.

"Alright settle down." Came the voice of Aizawa as he walked through the door. "I know it's been a hectic few days and it's going to continue." Some of the students frowned wondering what he was talking about

"The UA sports festival is coming up soon." This seemed to get all the students minus a few excited as murmurs broke out. Iida being the responsible one he was got the class under control, his hands doing chopping motions as he spoke before he turned back to their sensei.

"Aizawa-sensei is it wise to hold the sports festival so soon after a villain attack?" He asked concerned.

"Yes. We can't cancel the festival as that would show weakness. By continuing as planned we show that we're still in good shape and it'll keep morale up." He looked around and asked if there was any questions. No one spoke up so he continued. "Many pro heroes will be in attendance or watching from elsewhere, looking for talent to possibly recruit after graduation. This is your chance to get noticed by the biggest names in the hero industry so I suggest you begin training.

There's not much class time left. Go ahead and clean up then you're free to go." He finished before collecting his papers. Once he finished talking all the excitement came back full force. Kirishima was talking to Bakugo loudly about how they'd be able to show how manly they were to the pros while others were wondering how to start training.

"Are you excited for the festival?" He heard Momo ask him. He glanced at her and sprayed his desk with disinfectant and started wiping it down.

"I don't know if excited is the right word but it'll be interesting. Are you?"

She nodded. "It'll be a good chance to see where I stand in the school. I've been training with my quirk harder than ever after the attack so I feel pretty good."

"I'm glad. I hope you make it far. Also I'm sorry about the trident. I'll get it back I swear." He replied, the last two sentences in a hushed whisper. He could see she was about to tell him not to worry about it but he beat her to it. "It was difficult to make and clearly took a lot out of you, I'll be sure to get it back. I gotta go I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do." Izuku said as he finished his portion of the cleaning.

Handing the bottle to Kaminari he headed for the door. He frowned slightly as he heard quite a bit of noise on the other side. Sure enough once he opened it up there was a sea of students all crowded around the classroom.

"Is there something we can help you with?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. Before any of the students could answer Bakugo came up from behind and spoke up.

"They're scoping out the class that was victorious against real villains." He said in a tone that was somehow both angry and arrogant.

"Did you know depending on the outcome of the festival it's possible for students in other classes to be moved up into the hero course?" A student said as he made his way through the crowd. He was just a bit taller than Izuku with wild purple hair that was spiked up. Something that stood out was that it looked like he hadn't slept in days.

"That supposed to scare us?" Bakugo replied angrily.

"It's a statement. Consider this a declaration of war." The purple haired boy said before walking off. Following that statement a blond haired boy from class 1-B stepped forward and began antagonizing the rest of his classmates. He sighed, shook his head and cut through the crowd not wanting any part of that.

Coincidentally he ended up walking in the same direction as the purple haired kid from a couple seconds ago. He must have heard him coming up from behind him as he stopped and turned to face him. Izuku didn't stop or even look at the boy as he passed but did leave him with something to think about.

"If you're declaring war you better have the power to back it up." He said and continued on his way.

Leaving school he didn't go straight home rather he stopped by a family mart to get some snacks. He went through the isles grabbing whatever looked good before getting in line to pay. As he got closer to the cashier he noticed a glass display case with trays of donuts inside. His mind immediately remembered a few years ago how Brulee would always give him a free small donut when he'd go to her stand with his mom.

He blinked and realized he was next when the man in front of him crossed his field of view. "Can I also get a box of donuts please?" He didn't even wait until he got home and began munching on the treats.

A week passed by in the blink of an eye and it was finally time for the sports festival. In that time he'd focused on his school work and getting in better shape. He was happy to say he was making progress. He didn't know if the mirror was playing tricks on him or not but he looked bigger and was definitely faster as well. What he'd really made good progress on was his Busoshoku haki, as he could coat any part of his body with it at will.

He'd also made some progress on a technique he'd been wanting to try. He hoped he'd be able to use it in the tournament. He looked around to see all his classmates in their pe uniforms all talking amongst themselves, most likely trying to calm their nerves. All classes had their own waiting room assigned to them and were told to wait until Present Mic, who'd be one of the announcers along with Aizawa, called them to the field.

Izuku leaned back against a wall and closed his eyes. As he'd been doing any chance he got he relaxed and focused on his kenbunshoku haki. He could still in a sense 'see' everyone around him including the crowd that filled the stadium. He could feel their excitement as well as the students nervousness.

Only two apart from himself weren't nervous, Bakugo was one of them. The other, well he was heading in his direction.

"Todoroki do you need something?" He asked calmly, staring at the white and red haired boy.

He didn't get an immediate answer as his classmate stared unflinchingly at him for a few seconds before responding. "Looking at things objectively I think I'm stronger than you. However, I know you have more power than you lead us to believe. The fight against the Nomu proved that." Their little talk had gotten the attention of the rest of the class by now.

"B…"

"'But I'm going to beat you' that's what you gonna say next." Izuku cut him off causing Todoroki to frown. Whether it was because he cut him off or knowing what he was gonna say, he didn't know but he enjoyed the look. Internally he smirked as he didn't even need his Haki to guess where that conversation was going. If he wanted a challenge he'd get one.

"You're strong Todoroki, but don't think you're strong enough to compete with me. I don't know where this came from, whether you see me as some sort of threat or if you feel like you have something to prove but I'm not losing to anyone." Izuku replied. The two stared each other down and some of the guys were even getting ready to come between them but stopped as an announcement finally came.

"Ladies and Gentlemen it's time for the UA sports festival to begin! Are you ready?!" The voice of present mic boomed through the arena. From the sounds of the crowd it looks like he got some pretty positive feedback unlike at the entrance exam.

"Introducing to you first, from the hero course class 1-A" He yelled out. The students all lined up and began walking out into the field. The crowd cheered louder when they finally made it and they were escorted to a certain spot on the arena and were told to wait. Present Mic went on to introduce 1-B, the support course, the business course, and the general ed course. Once all the introductions were out of the way Midnight made her appearance and walked up to the podium and motioned the greenette up.

"Representing the students is Midoriya Izuku from class 1-A." Making his way up he noticed everyone looked to his class then to him and began to quiet down as he stood in front of the podium. Even the lively crowd quieted down to make sure they wouldn't miss anything.

He stood in front of all of UA and looked everyone over. Had he been the same kid he was years ago he'd say something like 'everyone do your best' with the occasional stutter, but now…

"UA." He began "I know there's been talk ever since the incident a few days ago. As a result of that there seems to now be animosity between classes." He continued looking at class 1-B and the purple haired kid from general ed. "So I'll say this, I know a lot of you may see me as a target simply for being in 1-A. If you're coming to get me come get it. It's not gonna be easy and you know it." He finished and began walking back to his class ignoring the glares and boos the students were throwing his way.

Midnight smirked at his declaration and took the microphone again. "The first event will now begin." She said pointing a hand up towards the giant monitor. On screen the words 'obstacle race' appeared. "The first event is the obstacle race, as it's name implies it's a race in which you'll have to get through a series of obstacles. The first forty two will continue to the next round. All students to the starting line."

The screen cleared up and began displaying the view of the course. The students did as they were told and walked out with their classes and gathered at the starting line. He could feel the majority of them being nervous or scared. That'd make it easier for him. He bent down and reached for the ground to stretch. Some of the others followed suit and began limbering up. He glanced at his classmates and figured at least half of his class had a chance of making it. The business course was most likely finished here and the support course had some chance. He briefly wondered how the purple haired kid would get through this but stopped those thoughts as Midnight made herself known.

"I've been waiting to try this." He thought to himself as he prepared to start. Everyone began leaning forward slightly looking ahead to try and get the lead as soon as possible. Izuku on the other hand kept his gaze straight on the woman. Her figure for a second longer than acceptable before his eyes went to the small gun in her hand. He calmed his breathing and focused, the world took a blue hue and seemed to be moving in slow motion.

Like this he watched as her finger slowly squeezed the trigger and moved. He jumped forward almost as if he was diving into the ground and turned himself into mochi. The crowd went wild inside the stadium as they watched him take the lead by turning himself into a spinning donut and taking off.

Following him Todoroki took off using his ice to propel him forward with bakugo hot on his trail, his palms firing explosions rapidly. The rest of the students used their quirks to try and make something happen or simply tried to run as fast as possible to try and get within the top forty two. If you were to look inside the mochi donut up ahead you'd see Izuku's head looking to the side to guide himself.

His vision saw a red shape coming up and the form of a hand coming down. It was the same size as the robots he'd gotten through at the entrance exam. Seconds later it was within view and sure enough it's hand was rising up as it prepared to strike. Grunting in annoyance Izuku forced the mochi to spin faster and accelerated right as the fist came down to strike. He moved a bit to the left letting the fist hit the ground and continued on his way.

"I'll just let Todoroki and Bakugo take care of it" He thought to himself from within. At his speed he was quickly able to see the next obstacle on the course coming up. It seemed to be a cliff with a drop off. Some ropes were connecting the small islands and it was a no brainer that they had to balance their way across if they had no other means.

Making his donut jump into the air he released the technique turning himself back. Using the momentum he'd gotten while spinning he extended his arms as far as needed before coating his hands in haki. His fingers dug deep into the ground on the other side and forced his arms to retract. The crowd cheered loudly as his body shot from one end of the obstacle to the other.

"Ladies and Gentlemen Midoriya from class 1-A is making quick work of the track. Todoroki and Bakugo are just behind and are fighting for second place. Man this is exciting! Don't you agree Eraserhead?" Present Mic announced. A less enthusiastic 'yeah' was heard over the speakers.

Once on the other side of the cliffs he soon came across the minefield. He couldn't use his kenbunshoku haki to help as the mines didn't have strength, presense, or any sort of intent. "No matter" He whispered to himself as a couple arms grew out of his back. Including his own two all of them began building pressure before firing into the minefield, effectively detonating the explosives.

One by one they set off causing a chain reaction setting others off. The crowed groaned in disappointment as the area began being covered in smoke. Apart from those he could hear the sound of Todoroki's ice and Bakugo's explosions getting closer. He jumped, turing into the donut again, but this time covered himself in busoshoku haki under the cover of the dust and debris. Some explosives went off near him but didn't do damage. Once he saw he was coming to the end of his cover of smoke he released the haki and cleared the field. With the building in sight he sped up and jumped once inside the building, making a show of turning himself back to normal in mid air and sliding to a stop crossing the finish line.

"In first place Midoriya Izuku. Let's hear it for him everybody." Present Mic yelled. Izuku looked around at everybody cheering and let a smile grace his face knowing his mom was watching. One event down two to go.

Alright I'll go ahead and end it there. What did you guys think? Now remember after the festival they get to pick their hero names and go to the agency of whoever had interest in them. In this story he won't be going with Gran Torino i'm thinking someone else. Also next up I'll probably be trying to update my One Piece story or possibly my bleach one not sure yet. With what's going on in the world I suddenly have some more free time. Anyways you guys if you have any suggestions or want to see anything let it be known in a review or PM me. Stay safe. Later
