"Hey hey hey, listeners! It's that time of the year where fledgling heroes get to show their stuff and have fun in ruthless battles! You know what I'm talking about!" Present Mic commentated as the crowd cheered. "That's right, it's the UA SPORTS FESTIVAAAAAL!"
"I still don't know why you asked me and Vlad King to be here with you," Aizawa grumbled, loud enough for the mics to catch what he said.
"Yea this is a big waste of time..." Vlad King added.
"You two add a much needed edge and pessimism that balances out the loud optimism of my act, you dig? Also, Recovery Girl asked me to keep an eye on both of you so you two don't go hurting yourselves."
"Fine..."
"Whatever..."
"Anyways, you know them, you love them! They're the class that not only survived a real villain attack with their guts and wits, but they also got an alien as a student! It's the Hero Course classes, 1A and 1B!"
The crowd cheered and whooped as 1A and 1B walked onto the field, as several of the students waved to the crowd.
"I really should've asked Present Mic to not say something like that," Hiroshi muttered, shaking his head. "That was not necessary at all..."
"I mean, I'm sure that a lot of these pro heroes want to see Hero in action!" Ochako said, while Izuku trembled as he looked at the filled stadium.
"They're giving us a bit too much credit, aren't they?" Fuka said, raising an eyebrow.
"Speak for yourself, Mouthbreather, I'm just getting pumped!" Katsuki sneered. Fuka glared at him, but ultimately decided not to follow through with her own retort, no matter how much he deserved it.
"To think that with all these people here, we're expected to put our best foot forward," Tenya said. "I suppose that is but another step to becoming a hero."
"Following them, not to be forgotten, are the General Study Course classes 1C, 1D, and 1E! Next are the Support Course classes 1F, 1G, and 1H! And finally it's the Business Course classes 1I, 1J, and 1K!"
"Geez, we're just here to make the Hero Course guys look better, huh?" one of the 1C students mumbled, as they looked to the crowd.
"Can't be helped, especially with that guy with the alien there, you know?" one of them replied, shrugging. "Just gotta accept that, dude. No way we're gonna beat him."
To the side, the purple-haired teen from yesterday shook his head, disappointed that his classmates had just given up like that. Whatever, he's just needs to do his best either way.
"Welcome, first years!" a female teacher said, cracking her whip. She was dressed in a leather leotard that cut off right under her bust, with a leather strip that ran between her cleavage and connected to a leather choker around her neck. She wore a skin-colored body stocking that was slightly darker than her real skin, leather thigh-high high heel boots, a domino mask, and handcuff-like wristbands. In short, she was dressed like a dominatrix. "To your first UA Sports Festival!"
"Oh, so the first year's MC this time is the 18+ Hero Midnight?" a hero muttered, looking down at them.
"Should she really be wearing something like that to a school? The 18+ epithet is kinda worrisome..."
"Dude she loves kids, she's the best teacher they could have!"
"That's what I'm a little worried about..."
"I still can't believe they let her wear that," Fuka mumbled, staring at the dominatrix-themed heroine on the stage platform.
"Hey, they let us wear all sorts of crazy costumes, why not that?" Setsuna replied, smirking. Hiroshi looked to Denki, Kosei, and Minoru, who were staring at the teacher, the short grape-haired boy practically salivating at the sight.
"Ew."
"Let's start things off with your student representative's speech! From Class 1A, Katsuki Bakugo, get up here and talk!" Midnight said, as all of Class 1A and 1B looked at him.
"Kacchan's the student representative!?" Izuku said, jaw dropped.
"He did place first on the Entrance Exam, right?" Hanta whispered.
"For the Hero Course, maybe," someone from the General Studies classes mumbled, having been nearby enough to hear him.
"... I'm gonna win this," Katsuki said simply, as the crowd of not only heroes, but classmates as well, booed at him.
"That's not a speech at all!" one of the heroes yelled.
"Don't talk down on our fellow UA students like that!" Tenya said, as the others looked at him with shock that he'd be so crass to say that. Except for Hiroshi, who simply stared coldly at him.
"Don't get cocky! You still have an alien to face!" one of the non-Hero Course kids said.
"Yea, and I'll beat him, too," he retorted, walking off the stage. Izuku stared at him, as he realized something.
"The Kacchan I know would've been smiling as he said that. But he isn't... he's reminding himself that he needs to push himself, that he-"
"Let the kid with the alien talk!"
Izuku snapped out of his thoughts, as he started to hear the heroes yell the same thing.
"Yea, that speech was so short, you'd probably have time to let that Ultraman Hero kid say something!"
"I bet whatever he'd say is way more inspirational and thought-provoking than that guy's!"
"Alien speech! Alien speech!"
"Wow, they really want you to say something, Hiroshi," Setsuna said, as everyone stared at him.
"Oh boy... I really hope that Midnight and the other teachers don't-"
"Well since that was a much shorter speech than anticipated, why not!? Hiroshi Furinji, get up here!"
"Alien speech! Alien speech!"
"Really?"
"Hey, the crowd's got me doing it too!"
"Oh, so 1A gets to have two students make a speech!?"
"Uh oh."
"It's okay, you can do it!" Ochako said, as Pony and Mina puffed out their cheeks and nodded in agreement.
"If your speeches before were any indication, you will certainly give out a great one, Furinji," Momo said.
"Well, if everyone insists," Hiroshi said shrugging. As he walked up to the stage, he felt all the eyes on him. Classmates, heroes, everyday civilians. He's not about to let that pressure crush him, though. He's fought aliens, so a speech wouldn't be too hard, right? He turned to face all of the first years, and took a deep breath.
"I'm not the same as you all," he started off with, to everyone's confusion on what he meant. "I'm sure everyone knows that by now. I wasn't born with a Quirk, I was raised as if I were made out of porcelain, ready to break at any second, and I was lucky enough that I was chosen by Ultraman Hero to be his host and gained his powers. I got into UA on unusual circumstances from you all. Some say it's unfair, some say it's only because I have an alien within me now, but let me promise you this: I intend on giving this my all as well. Ultraman Hero isn't the only person you need to look out for."
"But for a few weeks now, I've heard about how some of you in the non-Hero Course classes have given up because of his presence. Well, trust me when I say this: I want to see you all give this your all as well. You think your Quirks aren't showy? Aren't hero material? Trust me when I say that your Quirks are probably a lot better than you think they are. You might not have had the chance to improve them, sure, but right now, you've got the world watching you! So go out there, and prove yourselves! Because me and Hero will give this everything we've got!"
Hiroshi took a deep breath, and walked off the stage. The crowd erupted into cheers, and students mumbled as he past them to his friends.
"That was a lot better than that Bakugo kid's speech," one of the 1C kids said, as others nodded.
"Yea, you know he's right... let's give it our best!"
"You'll regret that!" Daichi shouted. "You won't get to be in the Hero Course for long!"
"That's right, we'll take our rightful spots from you and those stupid recommended students!" Kosuke added.
"Prepare for a world of hurt!" Kirika threatened, turning her polygonal fingers into polygonal claws.
"Great speech, Hiroshi!" Setsuna said, giving him a pat on his back. "You're really firing everyone up!"
"Yea, let's do our best, guys!" Mina added. Katsuki glared at Hiroshi, who didn't bother to turn around and face him.
"Now that we've got that settled, it's time for the first event!" Midnight said, as a holographic screen appeared behind her. It began to spin through a series of words before landing on-
"The first event is an obstacle course race!" she said, as a big starting gate began to open up. "It's a 4 kilometer long race around the stadium full of obstacles! Only the Top 42 will proceed to the next event! Everyone's encouraged to give it all they got, so go away and show off what you can do!"
The first years turned to the starting gate.
3.
Izuku took a deep breath, and activated One for All, green electricity sparking around his body. Tenya jogged in place, readying himself to run as fast as he could. It was his time to shine.
2.
Katsuki reared his hands back, ready to start blasting himself above everyone. Shoto narrowed his eyes, his right fist clenched.
1.
Hiroshi closed his eyes and slicked his hair back. He opened them, and the gray had turned brilliant green.
GO!
"AND THEY'RE OFF!"
Every student rushed through the gate, and already the problem was apparent.
"There's not enough room!" a student cried, as everyone pushed and shoved to get to the front. Shoto had shot forward before everyone, frost spreading from his right foot and froze people in place.
"That should keep them busy," Shoto muttered to himself, when he noticed his classmates having dodged his ice.
"You should've picked me to declare war on!" Katsuki screamed, using his explosions to propel himself in the air over everyone.
"Fuck, my feet! I'm stuck!" someone shouted, when the ground became a lot softer all of a sudden, pulling them in knee deep before the ground solidified again. Daichi and Kosuke were unfortunate enough to be some of those people, though in the former's case, he was stuck with his back in the ground, having assumed a boulder-like position to move in.
"Sorry, can't talk, gotta go," Juzo said, as he swam through the ground that he had kept softened to get through.
"Easy peasy!" Setsuna said as she flew through the sky, her body in pieces. This disturbed several students who saw her.
Fuka breezed through as well, having used her support gear to lift herself above everyone and flew. Kosei followed her lead and used his Quirk to create steps for him. Momo used her Quirk to creating a vaulting pole and rose above everyone, missing the frost and softened ground. Pony had stepped onto two horns she launched from her head and was flying above the crowd. Soon most of the Hero Course students had gotten to the front. But to many of Class 1A and 1B's surprises was Izuku soaring above them, green electricity surrounding his body, as he bounced wall to wall before landing on the ground in front of the crowd of students before rushing off, following Shoto and Bakugo as fast as he could.
"I gotta say, those guys are some real pieces of work," the purple-haired teen said, as a trio of students carried him for some reason.
"The 1A and 1B students have taken the lead as expected! But wait, where's Furinji and his alien-"
Everyone saw Hiroshi running alongside the wall before he got onto the ceiling, running above everyone without breaking his pace.
"How is he doing that!? He hasn't- Wait..."
The camera in the entrance gate zoomed in onto Hiroshi's feet. With each step he was making, he was breaking through the ceiling to create a foothold for him to stay up.
"That maniac! He's damaging UA property again! Why haven't you scolded him yet Eraserhead!?"
"Honestly that seems easily repairable. Not the worse he's done."
Hiroshi went up the wall of the stadium before using it to launch himself forward with a powerful jump, almost as if he were flying. When he landed, he broke into a brisk run, going as fast as he could to catch up to his 1A and 1B classmates.
"How'd he do that!?" a student yelled. "He hasn't turned into his alien yet!"
"I'm possessing Hiroshi right now!" Hero/Hiroshi explained, yelling back at them. "We figured out that when I possess him, he gets a strength and speed boost!"
"What!?" everyone shouted.
"He can do that!?" Present Mic said, as Hero/Hiroshi kept on running.
"Don't you remember him doing that during our meetings?" Aizawa deadpanned.
"Yes!... No..."
"Sorry I can't stay around for long, but good luck to you all!" Hero/Hiroshi said as he disappeared from their view.
"So far so good. I think we're not that far behind everyone actually," Hiroshi said, as they ran the track.
"In fact, I think I can still see Todoroki and Bakugo at the front," Hero said, as they began to see the 1A and 1B students that were before them. Then they heard a voice near them.
"Haha! There you are, um, Furinji! Or Hero... Whichever one you are!" Minoru said, as he readied himself to throw one of his sticky balls. "You're wide opened to be trapped. Prepare yourself for a Grape-"
A robot promptly smacked Minoru's tiny body with its big claw, sending him flying away.
"I guess we know the first obstacle now," Hero/Hiroshi said, as more robots appeared, including the giant ones they fought during their training.
"Seems like UA's got new ones."
"Looks like those kids have encountered the first obstacle! It's the ROBOT INFEEEEEEERNOOOO!"
"For once in your life, can you NOT scream like an idiot?"
"Impossible. We were classmates in UA. He never stopped being an idiot."
"That hurts, Eraserhead!"
As the non-Hero Course students panicked and tried to figure out a way to get around the robots, Shoto froze several of the giant robots in place, running past by them.
"That gap! Everyone go through!" someone yelled.
"Bad idea. They're frozen in unstable positions... so they'd fall," Shoto said, as the giant robots began to fall down as he planned. Many had avoided the falling robots. Except for Eijiro and Tetsutetsu.
"Oh my god! He just killed two students!"
"We can die during this!?"
"I'M NOT DEEEEAD!" Eijiro and Tetsutetsu screamed, bursting out from the fallen robot at the same time. "Dammit Todoroki, you're lucky it was me that it landed! What if it was someone else!?"
The two looked at each, and got out running, tears streaming in their eyes. "Stop copying what I'm saying!"
Katsuki growled as he used his explosions to propel himself upwards and over the giant robots. He couldn't waste time on trying to break them. He had to beat that icy-hot bastard. Fuka, Hanta, and Fumikage followed his lead, while Shihai chose to use the shadows to get past the robots. Everyone was breaking apart the robots as hard and fast as they can, when Momo created a cannon, and fired it, destroying a couple in one shot.
"Excuse me! Coming through!" Hero/Hiroshi said, as he ran up the arms of a giant robot that had punched the ground. He sprinted up onto its shoulder and took a giant leap, landing onto the ground with a roll before breaking out into a run.
"You're incredible, Hero! Hiroshi!" Izuku said, as he caught up with the boy.
"You too, Mr. Midoriya!" Hero/Hiroshi said, the two neck to neck with each other when they reached the next obstacle.
"And now it's time everyone faced the FAAAAAAALL!" Present Mic announced. It was as he said, it was a giant canyon-like pitfall with several stone pillars and tightropes attached to each other. Izuku had kept going on while Hero/Hiroshi stopped for a second.
"Hm, looks like it'll take a lot more than just possession for here! Hiroshi?"
"Let's do it!"
He took a deep breath before his bangs fell back down, and his gray eyes returned. He reared his right arm back.
"Hold your hand and call out-!"
"HEROOOOO!"
In a blinding flash of light, Hero stood in Hiroshi's place, and he readied himself. With one mighty grunt and a mighty leap forward, he cleared the Fall without a problem, before returning back into Hiroshi, who kept running.
"It's up to you now, Hiroshi. I think your strategy will be necessary from this point on," Hero said.
"Of course!"
"And in a single move, Furinji turned into Hero and leaped across the Fall! But why isn't he staying transformed?" Present Mic said, confused by their action.
"He can't be coasting on Hero alone. He'll need to be able to handle things on his own as well," Aizawa said. "It's the rational thing to do. Hero did the legwork for the first two obstacles, now Furinji will handle the last."
"Dang, Todoroki, Bakugo, Furinji, and Midoriya just got through this like nothing!" Ochako said, watching as Fuka and Setsuna breezed by, landing on some middle pillars to take a breath.
"This is going to be tough!" Mina muttered, as she began to walk on one of the tightropes.
"I'm in my element with this," Tsuyu said confidently, as she began to crawl on one of the ropes.
"Hehehehehe."
Everyone turned to face the laughter, and saw a pink-haired girl decked out in support gear chuckling madly to herself.
"Why is she allowed to have gear!?" Sen said, pointing at what she was wearing.
"You Hero Course kids have the advantage with your practical hero training!" she said, readying her gear to move across the Fall. "So we Support Course students are allowed to show off our support gear, as long as we made it! Belong my beautiful babies!"
A grappling hook shot out from a barrel just under her bust, landing into one of the pillars. It pulled her forward, as her boots blasted out air much like Fuka's can, propelling her up the rock pillar before repeating the process over and over again. "Watch me now, Furin-Kazan reps!"
Fuka froze for a second hearing her family's company name, but she kept going on. She should've figured that the Support Course kids would want the attention of her family's company. Thank god no one outside of the Hero Course knew about her and Hiroshi's connection to Furin-Kazan Corporation. Though she wondered if that meant that their parents were here watching.
"My family is probably watching me..." Tenya said, as he stepped onto a tightrope. "So I mustn't look uncool while I'm here!"
He began to move across the tightrope with his right foot in front of his left, his leg's engines pushing him forward, as he stuck his arms out to the sides in a T-pose to keep his balance.
"That is singlehandedly the most uncool thing I've seen!" Present Mic announced.
"A minefield, huh?" Hiroshi said, looking at the sign at the other side. "I see... this'd put anyone in the front at a disadvantage... I wonder..."
Hiroshi moved to the side, and dug at the soft spots he found at the ground, letting everyone pass by him. He pulled out a few mines carefully and pocketed them. "Perfect."
He looked at the front, and saw Shoto, Katsuki, and Izuku all struggling against one another for first place. He looked to the pathways, trying to see where mines had gone off so that he could run through them. "Excuse me, coming through! Thanks for clearing the bombs for me, everyone!"
"You-! Dammit Deku, stay out of this! First place is mine!" Katsuki yelled, as he threw explosion after explosion at Shoto and Izuku.
"Sorry, Kacchan, but I wanna win as well!" Izuku said, dodging each one and grappling both his and Shoto's hands.
"Stay out of my way," Shoto growled, trying to carefully use the ice from his right hand to stop them.
"Mind if I join in!?" Hiroshi shouted from behind them.
An explosion went off, and the three saw Hiroshi being launched towards them, his back facing way. Before he landed on the ground in front of them, he tossed a mine, exploding it and the ones still buried, propelling himself forward once again. This one was enough to push him into the mine-free ground, and he landed on his feet, careful not to roll onto the ones still in his pocket.
"What the hell!? Did he just-" Present Mic shouted in disbelief.
"Indeed. He unearthed some mines, and threw one onto the ground to cause it and other mines to explode, propelling him forward," Aizawa said. "Impressive move, if not a little too reckless."
"You fucker-!" Katsuki cried, flying towards Hiroshi, hand ready to throw an explosion.
"I didn't want to do this, since this'll help other people, but looks like I have no choice!" Shoto muttered, creating an ice path that let him go over the mines in front of him harmlessly.
"Todoroki! Bakugo!" Hiroshi shouted, pulling out two more mines from his pockets. "Catch!"
On instinct, the two moved their hands and used their Quirks to block them, but the impact from the ice and explosion was just enough to set them off, blowing the two backwards as Izuku, Fuka, and Setsuna flew past them. Katsuki and Shoto attempted to readjust themselves, but unfortunately, they set off more mines when they landed, throwing them backwards even more as others past by them.
"WHAT AN UPSET! THE TWO LEADERS HAVE BEEN KNOCKED BACK AS FURINJI, THE OTHER FURINJI, MIDORIYA, AND TOKAGE START THEIR OWN FIGHT FOR FIRST!"
"Sorry guys, got one more here!" Hiroshi said, pulling out one last mine and throwing it in front of them, setting it off.
"Gah! Dammit Hiroshi! That's not cool!" Setsuna said, as Fuka held her breath in to avoid breathing in the dust and smoke. Izuku leaped forward however, and started to overtake Hiroshi.
"I'm sorry, Furinji, but I'm going to be first!"
"We'll see about that! Hero!"
"Right!"
Hiroshi closed his eyes and slicked back his bangs as Hero possessed him. "If you think we're just gonna let you go without a fight, think again!"
"Wouldn't have it any other way!"
The two raced neck to neck with everyone else close on their tail as they reached the corridor to the stadium. It was a close shot as to who-
"And it's- a tie!?" Present Mic said, to everyone's shock as the two entered the field.
Hero/Hiroshi and Izuku looked at the large monitors that replayed their race. It was true, they both managed to cross the finish line at the same time.
"Huh, how about that," Hero/Hiroshi chuckled, as his bangs fell back and his eyes turned gray again. Izuku took a deep breath. Sure, he wasn't in his full form, but he managed to keep pace with Hero. If he could do that now with just a small percentage of One for All, there's no telling what else he can do when he truly gains control over it.
"Way to go, you guys!" Setsuna said, panting as she and Fuka crossed, landing third and second respectively thanks to the tie between Hiroshi and Izuku. Soon, more and more of their classmates crossed the finish line, and they couldn't believe what they saw. "That is- That is nuts!"
"I lost a race with my Quirk," Tenya trembled, as he saw at his fourth place ranking. "Truly this means I must train harder!"
"I... I got 8th!? SHITTY FUCKING 8TH PLACE!?" Katsuki yelled, seeing how terribly he had fallen from earlier.
"... Dammit," Shoto said, understatedly angry at the 7th place he got. He knew his father would give him no grief about this. Say it was all because he wouldn't use his flames.
Soon, the screens were filled with the rankings of all the students that made it to the finish line:
1. Izuku Midoriya/Hiroshi Furinji
2. Fuka Furinji
3. Setsuna Tokage
4. Tenya Iida
5. Juzo Honenuki

37. Mashirao Ojiro
38. Toru Hagakure
39. Mei Hatsume
40. Daichi Ishimoto
41. Neito Monoma
42. Minoru Mineta
"Not as high as I would've liked," Neito said. "But as long as I get in..."
"Oh thank god, 42nd," Minoru said, panting. "I wish I had gotten a ride on Momo's butt, but in the next event I'll-"
"Because there's a tie for 1st and a tie for 11th of all things, the cutoff will be at 40th place instead!" Midnight announced, cracking her whip. Neito and Minoru's eyes widened as they saw their names stricken off the list of participants moving onto the next event. They both fell to their knees, and threw their hands up as they screamed into the sky.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK!" Kosuke Inugami yelled, stomping around angrily at getting 44th place. He spat out the dirt he dug his feet out of. "This ain't fair, Ishimoto! Tahenki! Why am I the only one not moving on!?"
"Sucks to be you, dumbass!" Daichi said. "Still fucking sore from breaking out of the ground. I'm lucky at all that I managed to get out at all."
Koji sighed softly to himself, disappointed at his 43rd place. Hiroshi gave a reassuring pat on his shoulder. "Hey, look at it this way. 43rd's still a noticeable place, Koda!"
Koji smiled a bit, and waved his classmates off as they went and gathered in front of the stage while he hang back with a despondent Neito and Minoru. Yuga wasn't there, having rushed to the bathroom because of the stomachache he got from overusing his Quirk.
"So we've got three unknowns here," Fuka said, noting the names Kirika, Daichi, and Hitoshi on the board. She knew Kirika and Daichi as those potential Hero Course kids who got cut 'cuz they were pushed out by the recommended students making it in, but Hitoshi... that must be that purple-haired teen that Hiroshi and the others talked about a few weeks ago when that crowd of students blocked the entrances at their classrooms.
"For those who didn't make it in, don't worry! We'll be having some more events where you can show your stuff even more!" Midnight said, as the crowd of students cheered about it. "But for now, let's get to the next event! What will it be!?"
The holographic screen near her started to spin more names. Everyone watched in anticipation as it landed on-
"Cavalry Battles!" Midnight said, cracking her whip. "This event will last 15 minutes! On your own, you'll get to form teams of two to four members in a horse-and-rider position! The rules follow regular cavalry battle, where you need to snag your opponents' headbands while guarding your own! But here's the twist: the headbands will cost points!"
"So it's like the Entrance Exams, huh?" Rikido said.
"We'll collect points by taking away other's headbands, is that correct?" Fumikage said, his hand on his beak.
"LET ME FINISH!" Midnight said, cracking her whip at the interruption. "Indeed, you'll be collecting points by taking the headbands of others! But you're not out if you fall or lose your headband! You stay in the game until time is up! You are encouraged to use your Quirks, or alien in Furinji's case, but remember this! If you intentionally aim to knock others down maliciously, your entire team will get a red card and you'll be out of the game!"
"That means we'll get the opportunity to take back the points we lost, right?" Mina said, sticking her tongue out in thought to make sure she got it correct.
"That'll be hard if you're not paying attention to every single minute that passes, though," Tsuyu pointed out.
"The points will be determined on your ranking from the obstacle course, and the headband will be the combined worth! If you were 40th place, you'll have 5 points to add, 39th will be ten, and so on."
"So with us being first place it should be-" Izuku started to say.
"But first place will be worth ten million points!" Midnight cried out. "But since we have two first place winners, they'll be splitting the points 50/50, meaning they're worth five million instead! Same with the boys at 11th place, who'll be worth 75 apiece!"
"Oh wow, that's a lot," Hiroshi laughed, as everyone around them stared at him and Izuku. "But nothing we can't handle, right- Midoriya?"
"F-f-f-five million?" Izuku whispered softly, his eyes as big as plates and sweat dripping down from his forehead as he shook from everyone's stare, all of which were hungry for his five million points.
"Oh boy," Hiroshi chuckled, shaking his head. "This is gonna be a riot."
ORIGINAL AO3 NOTES:
- Here it is, the first event of the UA Sports Festival!
- I'll admit, I might've changed the size of the mines to be a bit smaller so that Hiroshi could be able to realistically carry several in his pockets. Won't say they're TOO small, but they're small enough for like, two mines a pocket, maybe three if he's careful.
- I know that Setsuna in canon placed way lower, but I feel like that was because Horikoshi didn't really come up with some of 1B's Quirks and stuff until much later. And that it was cause they had planned to place as low as they could so that 1A didn't know their Quirks. In "Ultraman Hero Academia", they all know each other's Quirks already, so that plan was shot in the foot from the beginning, so I imagine that she'd do all out in trying her best.
- As a result of that, I tried changing up the rankings a bit. I'm not sure if they make sense to people or not, since they were sorta chosen on a whim for me.
- Dumb goal of mine: Get noticed enough that I get a Fanfic Rec on the MHA TVTropes page or an entire FanWorks page to either "Ultraman Hero Academia" or "Building Up A Hero!". I like using the website, though I don't necessarily rely on using it for everything.
