The Sports Festival is finished and the students gathered in lines to the podium to see top 3 students that won their spot in the events

First place was Izuku Midoriya, second Katsuki Bakugo, who just grumbled at his position, and third was Hitoshi Shinso surprisingly...

"Now with the winners of this year's Sport Festival!" Midnight smiled "let these three be awarded by none other than All Might...!"

"I am here!" the number one hero smiled as he came in by dropping in...literally! "with medals!"

The cheers came as All Might gave the bronze medal to the brainwasher first

"Hitoshi Shinso, for your perseverance in the Sports Festival I am proud to give you third place!"

Hitoshi smiled a bit as he looked at his award 'it may not be what I wished, but it's a start...'

The man went to Katsuki as he gave him the silver medal

"Katsuki Bakugo, you may still be rough...but I can see that you can become a great hero"

"Feh! Whatever...!" the blonde explosive was decent enough not to swear in public for the moment

The number one hero was now looking at Izuku Midoriya holding the gold medal

"Izuku Midoriya" his smile widened at seeing his protege "your quirk and it's abilities has earned you the top spot" and gave the boy his award "congratulations"

The soul student quivered in delight at his achievement, he looked at the symbol of peace and everyone cheering him

'I reached my goal...' he thought 'I made it to the top!'

The boy couldn't keep himself together from all this. So he did the one possible thing...

He fainted


Everyone blinked at seeing Izuku fall onto his back, thankfully he was still on his spot, surprising the number one hero and making everyone blink in surprise

"Young Midoriya!" All Might reacted first "are you okay...?"

Katsuki was out of his surprise and started laughing out loud "seriously Deku?" he smiled "you fainted after getting your award?"

"I shouldn't be surprised" Hitoshi snickered "he fought tooth and nail to reach that spot" a smile formed on his lips "before finally feeling tired from getting it"

Before long the rest followed in the laughter. They just couldn't believe that someone with such a strong quirk would pass out on his moment of triumph...

"That made us feel better" Mashirao smiled

"Yeah" Denki followed "the loss we had isn't a sting anymore"

"That bastard finally got what he deserved" Minoru huffed and muttered "getting girls attention in this festival..."

Which got him a smack from Tsuyu's tongue

"Quiet you" the frog girl stated

"Congratulations Deku" Ochaco muttered with a smile

As the closing remarks ended, everyone cheered for the winners and congratulated them again


Tomura Shigaraki watched the entire thing from his hideout

"So Tomura" the man child's master spoke from the speaker next to him "what do you think?"

"Unusual master" he muttered "the kid's quirk keeps reminding me of big brother..."

"And how do you feel about that?"

"Irritated" he scratched his neck a bit "but I shouldn't whine, big brother warned me about glitches from other players"

"That's good" the master hummed "I'll let you calm down from this and you should try to make another plan"

"I'm still finding out how master" he frowned "I just need a distraction before making another move to kill"

"Don't forget" the master hummed "I'll always help you if you have trouble"

The screen went silent leaving the man child and his assistant alone

"Yes master" the hand villain nodded "Kurogiri, you think you can find anyone that could help my goal?"

"I'll see what I can do Shigaraki" the warp villain bowed


The Sports festival has come to a close and everyone was given a few days of rest for the time being...

Shouto Todoroki slipped his shoes on getting ready to leave

"Shouto" Fuyumi called to her younger brother "where are you going?"

"To visit mother" was the boy's reply "it's about time that I see her"

"Right now...?" she blinked "but you haven't seen each other for a while"

"Someone opened my eyes back in the Sports Festival" he sighed "I should be helping her too" he opened the door "I'll see you at dinner"

The dual element student walked out thinking on the experience he had fighting against Izuku Midoriya

'I've always believed that my existence was making her suffer' he thought 'my left half is proof of that' he looked at the door where she was in 'but a hero faces struggles and help victims' and walked in seeing a surprised Rei Todoroki 'I'll do my best to save her, using both my blessing and burden'

Ochaco was walking inside her apartment still feeling a bit down that she lost in her match against Katsuki

'I have to get over this...' she thought 'a hero shouldn't be feeling doubt!'

But that was cut off when she heard the doorbell, she walked to the halls and saw a pair of silhouettes jump at her! She panicked a bit at the upcoming attack only to get a pat on the head

"We finally get too see you Ochaco" Mr. Uraraka laughed

"Yes" Mrs. Uraraka smiled "we know that you had some trouble in the final event"

"Oh that's okay!" the gravity girl waved her arms "I can handle my losses!"

"No you can't" the parents said instantly "we know that you cried hard after losing in your match"

The girl pouted at her parents and they laughed at her reaction from hearing the truth

"So..." Mrs. Uraraka smiled "have you met any nice boys?"

"I hope he's a nice one..." Mr. Uraraka hummed

"Please don't bring that up!" Ochaco screeched a bit with her blush getting more noticeable at remembering her interactions with Izuku in UA


Izuku was with his mom as Inko was crying a fountain of tears as she hugged her child tightly saying how happy she is right now

"Easy mom" he smiled rubbing her back "you don't have to be dramatic about this"

"I can't help it!" she whimpered "my baby boy was able to win something!" her tears flowed out again "how can I not cry...!?"

"You really have to work on that Inko" Mark's voice spoke getting their attention "hi there"

"Uncle/Mark!" the two Midoriyas shouted at seeing their relative with the mother leaping toward her brother-in-law and gave him a tight hug

"You're here!" she cried another fountain of tears creating a puddle on the floor

"Careful Inko we-whoa!" the man called before suddenly slipping on the floor with his back hitting the ground while keeping his sister-in-law safe

"Mark!" the woman stopped her tears and looked at him in worry

"I'm okay..." he groaned feeling the wetness of his back "like I said before Inko, you need to work on your water works" he patted the puddled floor "you'd cause accidents doing that"

"I'm sorry!" the woman went to another room to clean up the mess

Leaving him with Izuku in the living room

"So what are you here for uncle?" the boy asked "shouldn't you be with the other teachers discussing on lessons right now?"

"I got the day off by Nezu" he replied "said that it was my reward for keeping up with the other staff members"

After cleaning up the mess all three of them had a quick bite before Mark told them why he was here

"Izuku" he called to his nephew "do you remember what the true purpose of the Sports Festival is?"

"To get recognized by pros and learn under them in the internship"

"Good" he smiled before sighing "and this is where I give the bad news" and looked at the two of them "Shouta showed me a chart of requests on who will be recruited and Izuku wasn't in that list..."

"What!?" Inko slammed her hands on the table looking furious "my baby boy isn't worth being recruited...!?" she screamed in dismay "how dare they?!"

"Calm down Inko" Mark raised his arms and looked at Izuku "the reason why is because of your quirk nephew"

"My quirk?"

"The quirk you carry is related to souls yes?" he hummed "don't you remember a villain who can control other souls...?"

"Dark" he realized

"Right" the man nodded "your quirk got most heroes on edge due to that similarity"

"But that can't be right...!" Inko stepped in "my boy hasn't done anything wrong with his quirk!"

"I know" he shook his head "but with the way Izuku used it doesn't help them calm down from the impact that villain made..."

Izuku toned down the voices as he recalled from his younger years about an unusual villain that evaded heroes and not gloating about that

His name was Dark and got the title: elusive villain. This one was very unusual as he only came and went on personal interest. He made his debut by beating a recent pro hero and took an innocent hostage creating a slight panic in the populace

But then Dark simply walked around in public with his hostage doing normal things like strolling, eating and conversing with his victim like there wasn't a problem confusing the whole scenario...!

When another hero showed up Dark made a few rules so the public won't panic again...

After the hero was about to lose...a sneak attack came from the police officer nearby giving the hero an opening to win and free the hostage! But Dark wasn't going to get arrested since he simply to let go of his passenger, never stating he would arrested, after losing

And the final words Dark made was a simple statement making everyone rattled and confused...

"I didn't become a villain because of excuses" his voice carried no disdain "I became one because the world chose to be one sided..."

And the statement was enough for him to get away without chase

"So they are still clinging to that guy as excuse to keep me away?" Izuku blinked in surprise

"Dark is unorthodox" Mark sighed 'like me when I was trying to help All Might on his ideals...'

"And you encountered this villain?" Inko questioned

"Yep" the man scratched his head "that villain said my hero work was interesting to him" he looked at his nephew "I just hope the one interning you will teach and not make excuses on your quirk"

Izuku sighed "thanks uncle" he looked at the man "I hope that too"

The group decided to have a nice meal together and talk about the Sports Festival with the crowds reaction on the boy's performance making the mother smile and laugh forgetting her worries for the day


UA academy was back to normal and it was a rainy day when the students reached their destination

"Man was today a mess..." Eijiro sighed

"No kidding" Mina followed "fans everywhere recognizing us"

"Yeah" Hanta grinned weakly remembering people shouting pointing at him thanks to the Sports Festival

"Everyone quiet!" Tenya called "our teacher is about to arrive...!"

The class went to their seats and saw their teacher walk in look like his lazy self

"You're all seated" he looked at the class "good, you're learning"

The erasure hero then spoke about the internship and the results of their work in the Sports Festival and showed a list of students that got requests on pro-heroes that were there with Katsuki and Shouto being in the top marks on requests making most of 1-A gawks in disbelief

"Seriously?" Denki groaned "I'm not in the list..."

"What about the rest of us?" Yuga fumed "we gave our performance too!"

"I guess they care more on the capable students" Hanta said sadly

"And Midoriya was at the top too!" Eijiro blinked "he isn't there...!"

"It must be sad for you Midoriya" Momo said to her classmate "you've made yourself known only to be pushed aside"

"Deku..." Ochaco looked at her friend in sadness

"I don't mind it actually" the soul student hummed at the list "I can see that my quirk would be to out of the ordinary"

The other students blink at him and expected their classmate to be sad. But instead he's just letting it happen while looking casual...


The teacher of 1-A blinked at his answer before coughing to get the class' attention "anyway...now that the results came in it's time that you lot start something important"

The class went stiff and started thinking on what their teacher will say next...

"Hero names" he stated making them sigh in relief "you lot will make a name that makes you a hero" his eyes looked at them "but be warned, once the name is made... it will be your mark to carry until the end, got it?"

The students gulped at how serious this was before the door opened to reveal Midnight walking into the room much to Hanta, Denki and Minoru's delight

"Hello students" the R-rated hero smiled as she sashayed inside "I will be helping you with your hero names today"

"Better get started kids" the lazy man got into his sleeping bag "I'll be resting until all of you are done"

The class got markers and small whiteboards and started pondering on how they will call themselves

'This is hard!' some them gritted their teeth 'our teacher has to complicate this...!'

Izuku hummed on his hero name 'I know that my uncle and Uraraka gave positive points on Deku' he thought 'but it has to be modified...' and then scratched his head 'what goes well with Deku?'

"I'm done!" Yuga stood up and went to the front and showed his hero name "I can't stop Twinkling!"

'What kind of name is that!?' a few gawked at the long name

"Hmm" Midnight looked at that "sorry Aoyama" she sighed "that name is a mouthful...try again"

The laser student slumped and went back to his seat losing his sparkle

'Poor Aoyama...' Izuku decided to cheer him up and wrote something on paper before folding it and tossed it to the guy

The laser student blinked at seeing a folded paper land on his whiteboard and unfolded to see writing inside

I'm sorry that you're name was too long...perhaps this can fit you better

He looked at the name and sparkles returned to his being, he looked up to see Izuku giving a quick wave

'Thank you Midoriya' he wrote the suggested name on his whiteboard 'I shall carry this name with pride!'

The next student came up to the front

"Here's my hero name!" Mina smiled "Alien Queen!"

The R-rated hero imagined that and shook her head "denied...!" she did not like that name one bit

The acid student huffed in dismay but found a paper on her table

If you like queen in your hero name, try this one

She blinked at the suggestion and grinned 'whoever wrote this...thanks!'

Eijiro walked in next "I'll be the Sturdy Hero..." he presented his name "Red Riot!"

"Just like Crimson Riot" Midnight smiled at the reference

"Yeah..." the hardening student rubbed his head "I always looked up to that one"

Other students were able to show their hero names

Tsuyu Asui: Rainy Season Hero, Froppy

Mezo Shoji: Tentacle Hero, Tentacole

Hanta Sero: Taping Hero, Cellophane

Minoru Mineta: Fresh-Picked Hero, Grape Juice

Kyoka Jiro: Hearing Hero, Earphone Jack

Ochaco Uraraka: Uravity

Momo Yaoyorozu: Everything Hero, Creati

Koji Koda: Petting Hero, Anima

Denki Kaminari: Stun Gun Hero, Chargebolt

Yuga Aoyama: Shining Hero, Starshot

Mashirao Ojiro: Martial Arts Hero, Tailman

Rikido Sato: Sweets Hero, Sugarman

Fumikage Tokoyami: Jet Black Hero, Tsukuyomi

Mina Ashido: Queen Melter

Toru Hagakure: Stealth Hero, Invisi-gal


"Man you guys are able to make good ones" Izuku mumbled quietly at his classmates

Tenya was still looking at the empty whiteboard on his table and remembered his brother Tensei with the shocking news of his physical condition in the hospital

'I'm sorry Tenya...' those sad words echoed inside his head 'I can't be...the hero you...believed...'

'Tensei' the class rep of 1-A balled his hands tight 'I will carry your name with me...!'

The engine student walked up and presented his hero name

"I will be Ingenium" he said surprising his classmates

"Isn't that a little obvious Iida...?" Midnight blinked

"It is" he replied "and I'd like to keep it simple"

Izuku narrowed his eyes at the name 'I remember a hero with that name' he looked at his friend going back to his seat 'did something happen?'

Shouto came in and presented his real name as his hero one

"Sorry" Midnight shook her head "there may not be a rule on using real names" she said calmly "but I want you to be creative"

"You're not putting your all halves!" Katsuki glared

"I'll try again then" the dual element student responded

'You must be busy on something' Izuku quickly wrote a suggestion for his classmate 'I hope you can use this one...' and folded the paper before flicking it to Shouto's empty seat

The blonde explosive came up and roared out his hero name

"I will be...Explosive King Murderer!"

"No way" the R-rated hero stepped in "that's too much for you"

"What the hell...?!" he screamed in dismay

"You should call yourself Mr. Explosive!" Denki suggested with a grin

"LIKE THAT WILL FIT ME!" the blonde explosive shouted back

When Katsuki was seated again, Shouto returned to the front

"I hope this name will be good" he presented his board "Dual"

"Better" Midnight nodded "this goes well for you Todoroki"

"Thank you teacher" he went back to his seat 'someone is helping me...' he then looked to see a smiling Izuku and a small smile formed on his face 'you will be great hero Midoriya'

Katsuki grumbled at trying to make another hero name before feeling something on his hair. He reached for his head and pulled out a folded paper

Your ideas won't be allowed Katsuki. Try this one, it will make you sound powerful...

He growled at getting suggestions, but accepted the fact that he lost and decided to go with it...

The blonde explosive went back to the front and glared at everyone

"Here's something that will make you extras remember!" he declared "Great Explosion King: Dynamight!"

"Now that's a name people like!" Midnight gave a thumbs up

Izuku was the last one and smiled at his hero name and walked to the front

"Ooh, saving the best for last...?" the R-rated hero said in a sultry tone

"Sorry for the delay" the soul student said "before I present this name to you, I want you all to know that this one was made to degrade me" he sighed at the memories "but a few people saw good in this and I want to carry that in my path as a hero...!"

His eyes showed determination

"I will be the Soul Hero, Deku Ghost!"

The class were in slight awe on his little speech

'Turning a bad name into a good one...' Eijiro rubbed his eyes with sleeve 'how manly!'

'Deku Ghost' Ochaco giggled 'it fits you...'

'I don't see that name as bad' Toru hummed before smiling 'be a great hero Deku Ghost!'

'Deku Ghost' Tsuyu placed a finger on her chin 'catchy'

'Damn you Deku!' Katsuki gritted his teeth 'you had to one up me...!'

"So mesmerizing..." Midnight sighed at the boy's speech 'I think I found a candidate!'


"Now that the names are finished" Shouta cut in as he stood up again "you now have to make a choice on which Pro-hero you will intern with" his erasure quirk activated scaring the class "so choose wisely"

The 1-A students now looked at the internship papers and were discussing about it

"So who do you think will be a good choice?"

"I'll intern under Mt. Lady!" Minoru called but was ignored by his class

Tenya was looking at his paper and still remembered the incident with his brother 'Tensei' his hands balled tightly 'I will... avenge you!'

"Hmm" Izuku scratched his head 'I have no idea who can help me'

"Having trouble Deku?" Ochaco spoke

"No, not at all" he replied "still wondering who to work under"

"Well I'm going to learn under Gunhead" she smiled "Bakugo opened my eyes that I need to fight"

"Good for you Uraraka" he nodded 'at least Katsuki helped this time'

"Midoriya" Momo went to him "can I get your opinion on my pick?"

Izuku looked at her paper "Uwabami?" he blinked "poor choice there"

"Please state the reason" she hummed curiously

"This hero works on public attention Yaoyorozu" he said "not practical help" before pulling out his notebook "if you want a hero that is good" he looked at his notes "go for Fatgum instead"

"Why him...?" the creation student blinked

"He's a big eater like you" the soul student answered "and he works with the police" a smile graced his lips "he's a good choice if you prefer rules and helping"

"I'll do it Midoriya" Momo smiled not realizing that she had a small blush on her cheeks or the glare Ochaco was making

'That no good bastard...!' the little perv shook in envy

"Hey Katsuki" the soul student called "do you have someone to intern?"

"Yeah I do...!" the blonde explosive growled "Best Jeanist!"

"Are you sure that's the hero you want?" he pulled out his phone and showed the top Pro-hero's picture "cause you will have some... complications under him"

Katsuki touched his hair before shaking his head "your lies don't scare me Deku!"

Izuku sighed at this 'you're problem then'


After the day ended Izuku was walking in the halls still thinking on who will he intern with

"Young Midoriya!" All Might's voice called making him look up to see said man "have you found a hero to work under?"

"Sadly no" the boy sighed "no pro would want me since my quirk is paranormal"

"Then..." the number one hero started to shake "I have someone you could work with" and pulled out a small paper in his pocket "this one's... a good choice... for you...!"

'Now what kind of hero made you so scared All Might?' he thought taking the paper from him and shook his head 'at least I don't have to worry now' he smiled 'whoever this hero is... I'll be sure to learn something good and get stronger!'


Author's Notes:

And that filler chapter is done...I know there isn't much to see here but I was really just creating some interaction and brother in 1-A after the intensity of Sports Festival before going on the internship arc

And the few changes here are for the few hero names the students showed

I mean come on; Can't sop Twinkling, Pinky and Shouto... they are awful! Also Toru's hero name can't be used because it feels like a copyright issue to me... I had to at least make it creative

And Katsuki was at least able to show his development here, originally he would just make names related to his destruction and fail like in canon. But here he was at least able to think on the name Izuku suggested

Plus Izuku being Deku Ghost is thanks to his quirk: Soul User

Not to mention with Izuku being the winner of the Sports Festival, I can see some of the 1-A students think on his suggestion if they have trouble

Plus I wanted to show Tomura's brother aka Dark on his small yet infamous work as a villain plus his encounter of the controversial hero

I still haven't decided how he will cameo... but I can tell you that All For One stayed in touch with Dark after the latter was told to travel so Tomura can learn and grow on his own

And this story is now on hold as I have to think on how the internship arc will play out...

Stat card:

Dark

Quirk: Dark Soul (Mutant hybrid mix)-can control weak/submissive souls through verbal commands limit: if the target/s is strong willed enough to resist, he offer's a duel (fight, puzzle or game) to be free from his control until the next encounter

Power-4/5

Speed-4/5

Technique-5/5

Intelligence-5/5

Cooperation-3/5 (he's supportive but more lax than a typical villain)

I know this quirk is confusing... but with how everything in MHA happened relating to the phenomena. No one in the public community tried to study them so there can be solutions to help the holder's psyche (which resulted in villains being created in the first place... at least that was how the series hinted to me)
