Chapter 10

I watched everyone move to find their teammates after Midnight announced that they had 15 minutes to form our teams.

I looked around, shit I intimidated my future team mates.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. "Great job genius." I mumbled as I thought on what to do next.

"Deku! Let's team up!" Ochako came running up to me with a bright smile on her yeah! I gave her a bright smile, "You really saved my bacon Ochako thank you!" I thanked her, not realizing that I called her Ochako.

Ochako blushed as she heard me call her by her first name, "A-any time Deku." She smiled, I turned away. "Okay who else can join us?"

Ochako's blush went down, "Iida?" She asked, I looked around and found him talking to Todoroki. "No, he's already on a team, plus, I get the feeling he wants to compete against, no that I mind."

She followed my gaze, "Oh… Mina?" I looked to see her, Kirishima and Sero talking to Bakugo, "Nope, Kirishima is out as well." She looked at the two, she pouted.

"Hmmm … Camie.." She muttered not wanting to partner up with her love rival, I perked up, Oh yeah, Camie!

I looked for her until I saw her talking to Tsu and Shoji, damn I sighed and shook my head, "THERE YOU ARE!" I turned around and was face to face with crosshair goggles, "TEAM UP WITH ME FIRST PLACE!"

I took a step back, Mei Hatsume, the crazy inventor that I needed to get in touch with, I honestly forgot who was in team Izuku before. "Ummm do I know you?" I asked nervously.

"Mei Hatsume, from the support course and I want to use you to show off my cute babies for big industries!" Hatsume took off her goggles revealing her yellow eyes with crosshair pupils. I crossed my arms, looking at Ochako who looked weirded out by Hatsume's forwardness.

"Okay, what can you contribute to this team Ms. Hatsume?" I asked making her grin widely

"Hehe, I present to you!" She takes out a box out of nowhere and dumps them on the floor, I looked at them, I smiled, "Ms Hatsume, this is the start of a beautiful partnership." I took the jet pack and looked at Ochako… yup, this was gonna be fun.

"Okay, we have to get one more." I looked around and found Tokoyami, Izuku did make a good choice when he picked this team, I walked over and put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey Toko, wanna ride with me into battle?" I asked.

Tokoyami stared at me before nodding. "I would be honored." He accepted. We walked back, "Okay we have our team, what's the plan Deku?" Ochako asked me. I gave her a wicked smile.

Melissa Shield

Melissa watched in interest as Izuku picked his teammates, "He has a solid team."

David nodded, "The support girl interests me, I would love to see her inventions." David spoke as he watched Mei dump her inventions.

Eri watched, "Is he gonna be okay?" She looked worried as everyone looked at her big brother in a certain way.

Inko nodded, "He will." She assured Eri. Melissa hummed, "That student's quirk allows him to create a separate entity." She analyzed Tokoyami, "The brown haired girl can remove gravity from objects and they have a support student with a jetpack." She smiled, "I like where this is going."

Izuku Midoriya

"Your 15 Minutes are UP!" Midnight announced. I stood on Ochako and Hatsume's shoulders. Tokoyami was my front horse, I had the jetpack on my back, the girls had the hover boots, just like in cannon.

"GET READY!" I let OFA surge through me, "Ready everyone?" I asked.

"Yeah!" Ochako nodded.

"Yup!" Hatsume with her goggles on, grinned.

"Of course." Tokoyami spoke as Dark Shadow emerged from his stomach

"START!" Midnight shouted as the timer started.

Every team started to run towards us, "So is the fate of the pursued." Tokoyami spoke, "What's the plan?" He asked me.

"Tactical retreat, we have what they want, keep them away from us with dark shadow and I'll use my whips to provide support!" I ordered as we started to move but I could see the ground turning to quicksand.

"Hatsume, Uraraka, we're taking off!" I instantly activated the jetpack, with Uraraka's quirk, we flew into the air, Dark Shadow repelled Jiro's earphone jacks.

"Good job, keep watching our blindspots." I complimented, "We're landing!" Ochako spoke up, I gave a light finger flick sending a small gust of wind to stop our descent from being too rough.

"So what do you think of my babies?" Hatsume asked with a manic grin, "Cute aren't they, just how I made them!" She giggled.

I smiled, "Your inventions are amazing Hatsume, they really help." I looked at Uraraka, "And thanks for enduring our weight Uraraka!" She looked surprised but nodded with a smile, "I'll push through!"

I blinked as I sniffed the air, peppermint… "Guys do you smell that?" I asked. Dark Shadow suddenly attacked a random team that got too close, but it passed through.. Wait. I charged OFA.

"Nice try!" I exclaimed as I used a Harlem Smash to blow away Camie's illusion mist, revealing Camie and Tsu on Shoji's back. "Huh!" Camie looked shocked but we were already running.

"Woah how did you know?" Ochako asked as we ran, "Her mist has a certain smell, I recognized it and saw that Dark Shadow's attack phased through the illusion." I explained. I needed to add that to the Class A notebook.

I had a notebook for people and their quirks, it became a habit as I had the knowledge…. Also a nuisance..

Flashback

I was on my desk as Eri napped on my bed, I had my headphones on listening to Maroon 5, Maps, I was doing some homework for English.

My mind wandered to my classmates, if I helped Kirishima reach his Unbreakable mode before he was meant to, how could he improve even more. Todoroki needed to learn how to control his fire quirk, but that's something to think about after the festival.

I continued this train of thought until I noticed that my hand was sore.

Looking down I froze as I had a notebook out, writing down EVERYTHING about my classmates, their quirks, their strengths, weaknesses, possible new moves, stuff that I shouldn't know and even theories.

I flipped through it, ALL OF MY CLASSMATES HAD ENTRIES HERE! I shut the book and wrote down, Class A on the cover. I needed to buy a safe, information is power and the knowledge I had could cause problems.

… wait, why were there more notebooks on the side…

Villains, Pros, Class B… oh….

This was gonna be an issue…

Flashback End

I shook my head to focus on the battle, I let black whip loose as it repelled Tsu's long tongue. "NOPE!" I immediately lifted us into the air to avoid the other teams, "Okay now." I was cut off by the sound of explosives.

"DEKUI!" Ochako warned and I let black whip loose before Dark Shadow could do anything, hitting Bakugo who was propelling towards us with his explosions.

"GAH!" He started to fall but Sero caught him with his tape. "Okay, we need to be careful, we're not safe in the air or on the ground." We landed again, I smiled, we're gonna-

"I'll be taking that." I looked up front to see Todoroki with his team giving me a glare… Damn you canon.

I glared, "Come and get it." I challenged him, okay plan plan plan… what was his plan in cannon. Shock and Freeze!

I saw them coming towards us, "What's the plan?" Tokoyami asked, "We can't fly, Bakugo will catch us." Ochako commented, "Baby needs a few seconds to recharge even if we wanted to." Hatsume commented. Damn we can't fly.

I looked at Kaminari, did he remember…. Team Todoroki started to run towards us. I looked at Tokoyami. "Toko, keep Dark Shadow in for a bit." My team looked at me, "Do you have a plan?" He asked, "An idea, just bear with me." I ordered.

Kaminari let out a huge blast of electricity right after Momo made the insulation sheet. NOW! I activated Full Cowling, the electricity stuck me, DAMN! I gritted my teeth, this was more power than that time, I needed to push through the pain, I pulled the surrounding electricity into my body, I grunted as my body shook.

Todoroki looked shocked but growled as he thrust his pole down trying to freeze us, I crossed my arms and swung my arms downwards, arcs of electricity striking the ice before it could reach us.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING UNNATURAL. IZUKU MIDORIYA ABSORBED AND USED TEAM TODOROKI'S LIGHTNING!" Present Mic freaked out as the crowd cheered.

I leaned to the side, Ochako tried to put her hand on my side to help but yelped as the electricity shocked her. "Are you okay Deku?!" She asked, I nodded, "Yeah." I shut off Full Cowling and stared at Todoroki.

Kaminari looked shocked, "Did you know he could do this?" Momo asked Kaminari, "I did but I didn't think he'd do it with 1.3 million volts!" Kaminari responded. Todoroki clenched his fist, damn now they can't trap them.

"I have an idea but we will only have one shot." Iida spoke, "Get ready." Todoroki looked at Iida then at Midoriya who was recovering. He then looked to the stands to stare at his father. "Alright." Todoroki held on tight to Iida.

I tried the jetpack, it sparked with electricity. "Umm baby needs more adjustments." Hatsume looked at it, "The electric shock shorted it out, sorry." I apologized.

"That was quite the risk." Tokoyami spoke up, "Worth the risk." I said, "Kaminari would have rendered Dark Shadow useless if it wasn't for you, thank you." Tokoyami thanked me.

I smiled, "Your welcome." I said and looked at Todoroki and around us, too many people close together, if we wanted to win we would need to wait out the time, I looked at the scoreboard, we were first.

Monoma was second, Tetsutetsu was 3rd, Kendo was 4th, Todoroki was 5th and Bakugo had no points, okay….

I looked back to Todoroki who was now coming towards us at high speeds. "Midoriya!" Tokoyami shouted but it was too late, team Todoroki passed us with Todoroki snatching the headband from my head.

"TEAM TODOROKI STOLE THE HEADBAND, THEIR IN 1ST PLACE!" Mic announced.

"Got it!" Todoroki looked at the headband and was surprised to see that it was tied to a cord, "What?" But the headband was ripped away from his hands and back into mine.

"IN A SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS, TEAM MIDORIYA REGAINED THEIR HEADBANDS!" I smirked, not this time.

Flashback

I took the grappling belt from the pile of inventions and removed my jacket, Ochako blushed as she saw me with a white sleeveless shirt, Hatsume hummed, "Muscular indeed~" She giggled, I paid no attention to it as I put the belt on and pulled on a cable.

"Hatsume, can you tie the headband to this?" Tokoyami hummed, "Good idea Midoriya."

"Can do!" Hatsume got to work.

"This can only work once, so we need to be very careful, if we reveal this too soon, they will try and cut the cord as soon as they have the headband." I explained. Ochako nodded, "Okay, what do we do if our trick is revealed?" She asked.

"What we have to do, survive." I replied.

Flashback End

I tied the headband back on my head, "Okay now we just need to wait it out." Iida was out since he used the Recipro Burst, we had the advantage.

"Defence mode Tokoyami!" I ordered as Dark Shadow came out ready to fight. "1 MINUTE!" Mic screamed, I narrowed my eyes as Todoroki's team ran towards us.

"Kaminari!" Todoroki screamed as Kaminari shot a bolt of lightning towards us, damn! Dark Shadow blocks the attack screeching in pain. I let out blackwhip and cracked in front of us to stop the team in their place.

Todoroki gritted his teeth, out of desperation, his left side started to ignite.

"HAND IT OVER DEKU!" I heard Bakugo blast his way towards us, just a little longer!

I smirked, 3..2...1… "TIMES UP!" Bakugo fell on his face, Todoroki stopped.

I got off and Uraraka jumped up and down in glee. "WE DID IT DEKU!" She exclaimed.

I smiled at her, I looked at Hatsume who was working on her jetpack… which she took from my back without me noticing, typical Hatsume.

"Thanks for the assist Tokoyami." I turned to the last member of my team, "It was my pleasure Midoriya." Tokoyami nodded, "Yeah!" Dark Shadow cheered.

"IN FIRST PLACE IS TEAM MIDORIYA!" Present Mic announced. I could have sworn the box where my mom and Eri were was starting to flood… must be mom.

"Second place is team Bakugo!" I could see Bakugo punching the ground out of anger. He really needs to learn how to take a loss.

"Third place is… Team Shinso! Where did they come from?" I found Shinso walking away from Ojiro and the other 2 students Shinso used his brainwashing on… We locked eyes and he smirked, I returned it with a narrowed stare.

"In fourth place is Team Todoroki!" … wow Momo and Iida looked really down, Kaminari's brain was fried and Todoroki… he looked at his hand and was shaking, he used his fire to get the headband… Endeavour won't like the fact that his son lost to me.

"We will proceed to the afternoon portion after an hour lunch break!" Mic said. "See you then! Hey Eraser wanna grab some food?" "No." Aizawa replied.

Todoroki walked up to me, "We need to talk." I wanted to go see my mom and Eri but… I sighed, "Lead the way." We walked to a place where there was no one around, the emergency exit.

We stood there and Todoroki stared at me with his cold eyes, I rolled my eyes. "Are you gonna just stare at me?" I asked, "Or should I just leave?"

"... You outsmarted me, made me resort to breaking my pledge." He glared. "Your quirk is very strong, no one else notices but I could tell there's a similarity between you and All Might." Ohhhh boy… here it comes.

"So tell me, are you All Might's secret love child?" He asked with a straight face.

There was silence, my face twitching, trying so hard to not laugh, why… why is it always funny! I burst out laughing, "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed for a good 2 minutes before calming down, "Ohhh boy, that was hilarious Todoroki." I wiped the tear from my eye.

"That wasn't a joke." He glared, "I know it wasn't and No, I'm not the son of All Might, I just have a similar quirk." I explained as I calmed my breathing.

"Even so, you and him are related somehow. If you're aware, my father is the number 2 hero Endevour. With those two facts it gives me more reason to beat you." He clenched his fist.

He went on about his past, quirk marriage. All of that..

I listened, I already knew this and I knew there was more to the story… I just wish I could say.

"I will rise to the top without using his quirk, I will deny him everything." He finished.

I sighed, "Okay… One, you're an idiot." He looked surprised by my words, "Two, If you wanted to deny him you should have picked a different career path." I crossed my arms, I understood his pain, where he was coming from but I wasn't gonna sugar coat this.

"And three, What you said pissed me off." My expression was one of controlled anger. "I'm sorry you had to go through something like that, I can only give my sympathy but you are using HALF your power to win a competition."

"All to spite your father, your goal is skewed." I said, "If you're not gonna give it your all here, I suggest you forfeit." I started to walk out. "I made a promise to win, and I intend to keep it, I want to show the world that there are heroes that they can rely on, that they can trust with their lives. If you want to become a hero with half your power, you'll fail."

I walked back to the cafeteria, leaving Todoroki to his thoughts. Was I too harsh, yes, but he needed to get it out of his head that denying your father wasn't a goal of being a hero.

I made it and saw my mom coming over with Eri and Melissa was with them.

"Hey mom." I greeted with a hug. "Oh you were so amazing out there, I'm so proud of you!" Mom hugged me with all the strength she could muster. I pulled away and smiled at Eri. "Hey, hope you're enjoying the festival." I picked her up and she nodded. "You're winning." She gave me a small smile.

I grinned, just a little closer, "Well I made a promise didn't I?" I poked her nose. "Ehem." I looked at Melissa who smiled, "It's nice to finally meet you Izuku Midoriya."

I put Eri down, "And you too Melissa Shield." I spoke in English. She looked surprised, "How did you know?" She replied in English. I switched back to Japanese. "I saw you with David Shield in the booth as I looked for my mom and Eri, I just put the pieces together."

Melissa hummed, "Strong, smart and perceptive." She crossed her arms, "I look forward to working with you more when I transfer here." Now I was surprised.

"Transfer?" I asked, "Yeah, when I got the remains of the suit I made for you, I realized that working far from each other is inefficient." She explained, "I wanted to see what UA had to offer, that's why I'm here, and I have to say, I'm not disappointed."

"Wow… thanks." I blushed, "Let's get something to eat." Inko interjected with a smile. "Yeah, I'm starving." We got a table and ate, Melissa was gonna be studying here in UA, another asset, maybe with her help I can help my friends.

Soon it was time to return to the field and what I saw…

"What are they doing?" I stepped into the field and saw the girls in cheerleading costumes… I blushed and covered my nose to stop the incoming nosebleed.

"Oh hey Deku." Ochako waved at me. "So uhh that business student lied about the other girls having to wear these outfits?" She asked blushing. "What business student?" I asked confused and then my eys widened Wait… I narrowed my eyes. "Was he short and had balls for hair and purple?"

The girls nodded, Mineta… I was gonna punish him for taking advantage of my classmates later. "You girls look very nice though." I complimented, Ochako blushed harder and smiled at me. "Really?" I nodded, "Really."

"What about me?" Camie asked, coming over… shit she was hot, the outfit was showing a lot of skin.

"Umm." I blushed harder. "Oh and me!" Mina smiled lewdly… DAMN IT WHY WERE MY CLASSMATES SO HOT!

I looked away, "You might want to change before anything else." I mumbled, "Aww don't you like the show?" Camie asked before leaning in, "Or maybe you want to be the only one to see this~" She whispered.

"CAMIE!" Jiro screeched. "Let's go." Momo sighed. The girls left making me sigh a breath of relief

"WHAT THE HELL COME BACK!" I glared at the purple menace. "You were the one who told them to wear that?" I asked, making him freeze and look at me. "Uhh." I grabbed the back of his gym uniform, "I'm gonna take that as a yes."

I dragged him to the business course students. "Does this belong to you?" I asked, keeping the anger from seeping through.

One of them saw me and groaned, "So you were the one who did that, have you no shame?" The male student sighed, "Sorry about him, we can't control him." I kicked him over to them, "Keep him on a leash or else I'm reporting." I said.

"You're just protecting your harem, you selfish-" He stopped as I glared at him. "Understood." The student nodded not saying anything about me kicking his classmate.

When I got back the girls were in their gym uniforms, Momo looked distraught. I walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "Next time, don't listen to perverts like that, come to me if something like that happens again." Momo blushed and nodded, "Thank you Midoriya." She said.

"NOW THEN, ONTO THE FINAL EVENT!" Midnight announced. "Between the 16 member of the four winning teams… WE'LL HAVE A FORMAL TOURNAMENT!"

I gulped, this was it. "A series of one on one battles!" Midnight declared and took out a box with the word lots on them, "The matchups will be decided by drawing lots, once that is settled, we'll move onto the festivities and then the tournament itself."

I hummed, would I be against Shinso or someone else? Then Ojiro raised his hand. "Excuse me, I'd like to drop out.."

Oh… damn I forgot… I could have done something to prevent this… Sorry Ojiro..

As the others dropped out, I couldn't help but stare at Shinso, he didn't even care did he?

Once we drew the lots, the matchups were shown on the board. It was the same as before.

Ochako against Bakugo.. I really hated that fight. I sighed as Shinso walked up to me, "Izuku Midoriya was it?" He asked. I looked at him, Ojiro's tail covered my mouth. "Don't speak to him, Shinso simply walked away.

I looked at Ojiro, "Come on we need to talk." I decided to follow him, I knew what to do, just scared of Shinso saying something he might regret.

I stood in the hall just waiting to be called, I just needed to beat Shinso and not lose my temper. Easier said than done…

"Ah Young Midoriya, glad I caught you." I turned around to see All Might in his true form, walking towards me.

"Hey All Might." I turned to face him. "You've been doing great, first place for every event." He gave me a thumb up, "I made a promise, I also really want to win this." I said rubbing the back of my head,

"There's nothing wrong with wanting to win, just do your best and you'll be fine." All Might put a hand on my head. I gave him a warm smile.

"Thanks All Might." I thanked my mentor, "For everything."

He ruffled my hair, "I gave you the tools to make it here, you did all the hard work." He said, well that was true. "So no issues with black whip?" He asked, I shook my head.

"No, I'm able to use it freely, I just need to keep working if I want to use 100% of One for All without issues." I explained as I looked at the exit to the arena.

"If you feel nervous." I turned to see All Might buffing up giving me his signature smile. "Just handle it by smiling." I gave him a smile of my own. "Right." The intercom went on, that's my que.

"Good luck." I smiled and walked out into the arena.

"From the hero course! He has taken first in all the events, he is unstoppable! HE IS IZUKU MIDORIYA!" The crowd cheered as me and Shinso walked to the arena.

"VERSUS…. Sorry this guy hasn't done anything to stand out yet, From General Studies, It's Hitoshi Shinso!"

We stood on opposite ends of the arena, he gave me a blank stare as I gave him a curious look.

Time for the 3rd event to start.
