I know it might be hard to believe but I don't own My Hero Academia.
Or ya know, any of the characters….or names…..or designs.
Oh but I do own this fanfic, you can read it if ya want.
Also wanted to go through 2 reviews, let me know if this is something I should do more.
Chaos Bringer: You are totally right, I am so stupid, the thing that you brought up completely went over my head and I'm so sorry. I hope I don't mess something up like that again but if I do, I'm counting on you to tell me.
JohnyXD: I'm sorry, but since this is my first fic, I'm still really shitty at writing characters and relationships. And when I'm writing it seems so much longer than it actually is. So I'm going to be spending more time on individual chapters. Also since school recently started, chapter production is going to slow down by a ton. So hopefully that will give me more time to review what I write, since I don't have or know how betas work.
That's it, I hope you all enjoy.

The duo finally made their way back to the stands. Momo and Ochako called the both of them over, Mina gave Shoko a look asking what happened and she just shook her head, signalling that it didn't happen.
They found their way to their seats and awaited for the first round of the tournament.
Izuku had seen that Katsuki was a little more than excited. Smoke already emanating from his palms that were crossed on his arms.
"NOW THAT OUR BREAK HAS CONCLUDED, WE WILL GET ONTO THE FIRST PART OF THE TOURNAMENT!" Present Mic yelled throughout the stadium, hyping up a lot of the crowd, and some of the students as well. The big screen underneath the announcer's booth began to spin, the students watched for which of their peers would be pitted against each other.
It began to slow down, a couple of people that were seen consisted of Shoko, Sero, Iida, Juzo, and then finally-
"Round Face versus Pinky, huh?" Katsuki commented as his excitement died down. He was really looking forward to kicking Kaminari's ass early, but they do say save best for last. "After I carried you, you better not lose you got that!"
"Whatever you say Baka-go" Mina smiled as she stood up and made her way to the stadium.
Izuku exchanged a look at Ochako, "You got this!" He smiled.
Ochako blushed a bit in response, before she met his eyes, "You're right!" She pumped her arm up as she stood from her seat, "I got this!"
She left the area, to enter from her side of the stadium.
"Izuku, who do you think will win, honestly." Momo asked from her spot on his right.
Izuku looked to her and smiled, "You spent quite a while training with her just like I did, so what do you think?" He raised his brow and had a little smirk.
Momo returned the smile, "She'll do just fine."
"Exactly."
Shoko watched the interaction in amazement, she always gets embarrassed when talking with Izuku yet Momo could do it flawlessly. Her smile took no effort but Shoko had to try her hardest to have a genuine smile. She proceeded to look down, contemplating why she was trying, Momo and Ochako were such better choices compared to her. And Izuku had known both of them longer than they did her.
"Hey Sho." She snapped out of her stupor when she heard her nickname. She turned to Izuku who was smiling at her, "You spaced out, is something wrong?" He was worrying about her, and that made Shoko grace a small smile on her face.
"No, let's watch the match."
"O-Ok."
00000
Ochako entered the arena, she knew that this match would be hard, but she also knew that Mina wouldn't go all out. She'd most likely just use her acid and custom made shoes to slip across the field and try to land hits that way. Huh, spending all that time studying for the entrance with Izuku did have another purpose.
"FROM THE NORTH TUNNEL, THE GRAVITY GIRL THAT LITERALLY BLEW AWAY OUR EXPECTATIONS IN THE OBSTACLE COURSE, OCHAKO URARAKA!" Present Mic screamed, earning the girl a lot of cheers, one of which was coming from Izuku.
All she had to do was wait for Mina to come to her.
"AND FROM THE SOUTH TUNNEL, CLASS 1-A'S RESIDENT ACID USER, IT'S MINA ASHIDO!" The other also gained a lot of cheers, most likely due to her performance in defending Bakugo in the cavalry battle.
The two were now on the arena floor, both eyeing each other, and both having smirks on their faces showing their excitement for the match.
"The match ends when either combatant is unable to battle, surrenders or is out of bounds! Are you both ready?"
"Yup!"
"Yeah!"
"Alright!" With a crack of her whip Midnight announced "MATCH START!"
Mina instantly began racing towards her friend. Her new shoes that allowed her to use her acid with them, making it easy to dance to Ochako.
Mina danced around, eyeing what her opponent would do, and apparently she was doing the same thing. She was unmoving, simply eyeing Mina, but her face showed that she was less than confident, 'Raka's super nervous huh? I mean I feel bad but if you wanna give me the win!'
She immediately began closing the gap, throwing acid in Ochako's eyes, nothing too bad just enough for her to stop to clear them. She went for the uppercut, the only true way to finish a fight, something about the boom and bam-
She missed
"And Boop." Ochako pressed her entire hand onto her friend's arm. Causing the pink skinned alien girl to lose her feeling of gravity. And currently Mina was floating up, she tried using her quirk on Ochako but she simply backed up and Mina didn't have that well in terms of range. "So, do I win?" Ochako asked.
"How did you win!" Mina screamed
"Easy, you have a flair for the theatrics, I knew you were gonna do something like or similar, jus' had to dodge and touch you once! The nervous face was convincing wasn't it?"
Mina hmphed in response, Midnight declared that Ochako was the winner and Ochako let her friend down. With a satisfying win she made her way back to the stands.
"OCHAKO URARAKA IS THE WINNER, SHE'LL MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ROUND, SERO HANTA AND EIKO KIRISHIMA PLEASE COME TO THE STADIUM!" Present Mic announced.
00000
"Good luck Kiri!" Toru told her friend as she got ready for her fight.
"Thank Kure! I think I got this one!" She gave her friend a toothy grin. She stood from her seat, Sero had left a while ago, before the other match ended, but she wanted to see if Mina would win or not. They had been best friends for a while.
"Pssst Kacchan."
"..."
"Hey."
"..."
"Don't ignore me."
"..."
"Lord Explosion Murder."
"Tch fine." Katsuki looked at Izuku, he was one seat above the green mop. "The hell do you want, Deku?" It wasn't filled with the usual venom, but it sounded like an actual question.
Both Momo and Shoko seemed a little less than pleased with the way Katsuki was acting but he ignored it, "Are you gonna wish Eiko good luck or not?" Izuku asked with a small grin.
"Eh, what the hell do you mean?"
"D-Don't tell me you haven't noticed…." He sweatdropped.
"Noticed what, hurry up and tell me you fucking extra, stop wasting my time." He grunted for a second, before he actually thought about it a bit.
"Don't you feel anything? You haven't noticed anything?" Izuku asked.
"SHUT UP, I'M THINKING!" He yelled, he began thinking one more time. His mind went back to USJ, when he called her Eiko, she had a big smile on her face, and the feeling he had when he called her "Eiko.."
"What was that?" Izuku asked smugly.
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID DEKU!" Bakugo stood up and turned around, luckily she talked with Toru for a while so she hadn't left yet, "HEY EIKO!"
The girl turned around, and her face matched the color of her dyed hair, "Y-Yeah?"
He grumbled a little under his breath, he was definitely making a scene, though he didn't seem to care, "You….. better fucking win,... ok?" His voice seemed oddly soft, almost cute. He wasn't looking at her. Fucking Deku making him embarrassed and shit. 'Ok Katuski!' Rung through his mind.
Eiko steeled herself to smile a bit, not her usually toothy one, but a small, albeit embarrassed smile, "I-I will, don't worry." And then, she disappeared, Katsuki's nervousness was gone and he sat back down, a small blush gracing his permanently pissed off looking face.
Though he did get a look at Izuku, who had a smug smile on his face. "The hell are you smiling at!"
"Nothing." Izuku turned back to the stadium.
Ochako arrived soon after and sat on Momo's left, the farthest away from him, yet with him backing her up, saying she'd win, and her winning, she felt close to him.
"So Ochako who do you think will win?" Izuku asked, reinforcing the fact that she was close to him.
"I'm putin' my money on Eiko." She cheered.
00000
And true to what Ochako said, Eiko won.
Sero tried to use his tape to force her out of the ring, however she was able to harden her arms when it entangled her and she cut through it.
She rushed the tape boy and cut through all his attempts to tape her.
And with a swift blow to the gut Eiko won.
And currently she was going back to the stands to watch the next match, "Kaminari versus Katsuki. That's an easy decision." She said as she rounded the corner.
"Damn right it is." And she literally bumped into Katsuki, and jeez, she'd seen them in his tight shirt that his hero costume had but damn, bumping into them. It just felt….right. She backed up and looked to see that it was Katsuki who she bumped into.
He seemed to fumble a bit, 'Ok Katsuki!' was ingrained into his mind at the moment, and the fact that she was right here was NOT helping! He brought his hand up to his face and coughed into it, knocking Eiko out of a trance she didn't even know she was in. "Good fight, it was obvious that you were gonna win though." He said nonchalantly.
She gave him the same small smile she did before, it felt more sincere than her usual toothy grin, "Thanks, I'm sure you'll do great."
Katsuki hesitated for a second, "Damn straight I will." He grumbled and then he left. And though it was brief they both felt closer than they had ever been with each other.
'Stupid Deku, always having to be right and shit!'
'He always has to be the tough guy.'
They both thought as they walked away in opposite directions.
00000
"Either contest wins when their opponent is unable to battle, surrenders, or is knocked out of bound!" Midnight announced for the third time as she cracked her whip, "Are both contestants ready?!" She added.
Kaminari announced yes with a "Let's do this!" and Bakugo simply grunts.
"No way you can dodge this!" The electric boy said as he brought his hands up over his head. "Indiscriminate Shock: 1.3 Millio-" Kaminari was shut up when Bakugo connected an explosion from his right palm to Kaminari.
"After knowing Deku for almost my entire life, you pick up some things." He said as he approached Kaminari. "One of those things was analysis, not a fucking psycopath like he is at it, but still pretty damn good."
Kaminari regained his composure and stood up once more, he couldn't try his super move again, that wouldn't work. So instead he chose to rush Bakugo.
"Like I'll let you, dunceface!" Bakugo flipped over Kaminari, making a point not to touch the electric blonde. He hit the blonde with an explosion on his back. "You basically have no control over your quirk, and that super move of your needs a lot of time to use, disturb you for a second and it fucks up." The ash blonde had a massive grin on his face "Basically, you can't do shit to me!" Bakugo put his hands together, 'Been working on this one for a while! Can finally test this shit out!' he began to make an explosion that was more bright than it was powerful. "STUN GRENADE!"
"What the AH FU-" Kaminari clutched his eyes, they were burning, not literally. The attack was too bright, and it stung a bit too, since after all it was an explosion.
Bakugo followed up with two consecutive explosions and knocked Kaminari out of the arena.
"KATSUKI BAKUGO WINS, I MEAN WHO HAD A DOUBT IN ALL ACTUALLY!" Present Mic screamed over the comms. Bakugo scoffed as he left the arena. Before he entered the halls he looked up toward the stands, Deku was smiling like an idiot(as usual) but he didn't care about him right now, he eventually found her and she was smiling, "That's all that matters."
00000
The next match had passed and it was pretty wild. It was Ibara, 1-B's resident christian, versus Juzo, one of 1-B's recommendation students. Ibara had sent vines through the ground which were rendered sort of nauseous thanks to Juzo's quirk. So she then instead used them through the air and tied up Juzo's hands first. Thanks to that he was rendered unable to battle and Ibara ended up winning.
And currently, Class 1-A were sending their regards to Iida, as his match was next. He was going up against someone named Mei Hatsume, apparently she was from the support course, and she was a part of Shinso's team during the obstacle course so she really didn't have that much spotlight. And because of that no one knew her personality or how she was going to deal with this next round.
"Hey Glasses!" There was only one person that high pitched voice could have meant, Iida looked up and saw his opponent, her special pink hair and engineering goggles were a dead give away.
"Excuse me, my name is Tenya Iida!" The boy exclaimed, his arm chopping motion accompained the statement.
"Yeah yeah anyways, I was hoping we could make a deal!" She exclaimed as she pulled out a box that contained a bunch of gadgets and gizmos. "Since I'm in the support course, I was wondering if you could test out one of my babies for me while we have our match!" She grinned ear to ear as she said that.
"B-Babies!" exclaimed most of 1-A, the girl seemed unfazed by the action, Izuku decided to step up, he had a small grasp of the situation, "She wants to ask if you can try her gear while you fight." Iida did a standing hop and turned to Izuku.
"Though that would give me a clear advantage, would it not!" Iida exclaimed.
The girl sprung over to Iida, "Does it really matter! I mean I'll have some equipment too since I'm a support student, so technically all we'll be doing is leveling the playing field, right!" She still had the same manic grin on her face "Or are you looking down on me since I'm a support course student and you're a hero course student."
Iida gained a look of horror on his face, "I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING!"
"Good, then take this!" She put an exoskeleton of sorts that had weird things that sprung out of a backpack behind the head, "It helps with running speed along with steering, something that I believe will be very useful to you." She handed Iida the gear and then left to go enter the arena.
"Well then, I must be off as well!" Iida bowed to his friends and sprinted towards the staircase.
"Hey Izu, who do you think is going to win?" Momo asked, a hint of worry in her voice.
"What do you mean Yaomomo, with that gear plus all of his training, there's no way Iida is going to lose to that support girl!" Mina yelled, Toru shaking her arms by the pinkette's side, agreeing with her friend.
"Well, she seemed way too excited for that to be the case Ashido, is it just me or is she planning something." Momo said as they all looked out towards the stadium, the two had yet to arrive, backed by the fact that Present Mic's booming voice was yet to be heard.
"She's definitely planning something" Izuku added, they all watched the stadium, waiting to see if Momo and Izuku were actually right and if they weren't, well they'd be laughed at in a joking manner, that's just the way that 1-A worked.
00000
Iida had found his way to the stadium, exoskeleton on and all. On the other side was a cackling Mei that seemed to be making the crowd at least a little bit uncomfortable. Finally the two were standing opposed to each other, Iida face serious as always and Mei with a massive grin on her face.
However Midnight decided to speak up, "Unless you filled out a form before the event or are in a support class you are not allowed to wear support gear Iida." Iida bounced as his face turned to look at Midnight, arm chopping as always. "I'm sorry I did not know, but after Mei asked me personally to wear her equipment for a fair fight there was no way I could turn her down, her resolve is too great!"
The R-Rated Hero smirked a little, "FINE" she cracked her whip on the ground, cracking the ground a little bit in the process, "I'll allow it!" Present Mic and Aizawa both were indifferent towards the choice, a little surprised by how little it took to convince her. "You both know the rules, correct?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Yup!"
"Alright!" She once more cracked her whip, "BEGIN!"
Iida instantly began charging at Mei, not using Recipro Burst, he was saving that for later. He fastly approached Mei but at the last second a piston emerged from her backpack, lifting her high above the stadium, and Iida and up tripping on it. "But thanks to my auto steering baby!" Iida instantly recovered balance and he once again tried to run at her.
"Oh jeez, this is what you two meant." Ochako looked over to both Momo and Izuku and they nodded.
They heard cackling from the arena that proceeded for ten minutes straight. And eventually Mei stepped out of the arena, essentially forfeiting and giving Iida the win. The glasses boy soon returned to the viewing area for 1-A and looked a little less than happy. "She used me like a tool, and I fell for it." He grumbled as he sat down, not noticing that Izuku, Shoko and Momo had left to prepare for the next rounds.
00000
The three had come to an intersection in the halls of the stadium, Iida's match was still going on but he still hadn't even managed to touch Mei once, both Momo and Shoko thought it was a great opportunity to tell him but without Ochako they weren't completely sure about it.
"So-" Izuku began as he stopped in the hallway, "Good luck you two, I'll be watching from the waiting room. Can't wait to see who wins!" He smiled, Momo gained a small blush and a small flame lit from Shoko's hair. When he was met with nothing but silence he wondered if he did something wrong, "D-Did I say something weird?"
"No, nothing at all, we should go for our match, shouldn't we Shoko?"
"Uh yeah, see you later Izu."
'What it something I said?'
'God you're stupid kid.' Kokoro commented as he turned d towards where the preparation room for the students was.
'Now now Kokoro, don't you think that's a bit harsh, while Midoriya may be dense, he's better than that Mineta fellow.' Tamada added in his two cents.
'OH DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON GRAPESHIT!'
'Why do you always have to yell?' Izuku asked as he opened the door to the waiting room, looking towards the TV to see that Momo and Shoko's match was about to begin 'Nevermind, just quiet down, I wanna see this.'
00000
The two girls had finally entered the stadium, Momo had her own calculating gaze on Shoko, thinking about what she would do once the match began, and fixed on the fact that her left eye was covered by her hair and that she couldn't see any semblance of the scar underneath.
Shoko's own cold gaze was fixed on Momo, getting ready to see the lights that usually accompanied the use of Momo's quirk.
"You two know the rules, are you ready?!" Midnight asked, without the usual whip crack.
"Yes ma'am."
"Yes Midnight-sensei."
"Alright then you may begin!"
The two didn't move, Momo waited for Shoko to use her ice opener that usually accompanied her in a fight. When neither moved, Momo took the initiative, unzipping her jacket, making a bow staff that she would use a lot along with a shield, she knew that Shoko had been practicing her fire so the shield was reinforced with tantalum carbide. The shield was mounted on her forearm still allowing her to use the staff in both hands.
The brief amount of time that she took to make her items Shoko took to attack, rushing with an arced glacier that Momo blocked with her shield, the item gaining a scratch due to it.
Momo looked to see if Shoko was shivering and she wasn't 'She's been practicing her temperature control, she can do it mid fight now!' Momo thought as she dodged another ice arc that Shoko sent her way by rolling to the side, landing on one knee and quickly getting up to run at Shoko again.
She was sprinting towards her left side, 'So, she wants me to use it, fine' Shoko thought. Momo was still fast approaching.
Out of nowhere Shoko's left side came to life, crimson flames basking in the sunlight, Shoko herself smiling a bit, 'Thanks Izuku' she thought.
'Shoko's using her fire? But why?' Endeavor thought from the stands. Maybe the boy from earlier had something to do with it. He saw the smile on Shoko's face when the flame appeared. The only thing is he didn't know why.
The bi haired girl waited for Momo to stop running however the girl pushed forward and instead threw her bow staff at her opponent.
Shoko was shocked by the move, the staff hit her in the side, making her temporarily lose her breath, 'It worked! It worked!' Momo excitedly thought as she rushed forward, in her hand was a stun gun. "Sorry Shoko, but I will not lose today." She pointed it at the girl.
Shoko quickly did a spin, her right side now facing a shocked Momo. Ice sprung forth, trapping Momo, her stun gun, and her right hand, now completely trapped in the ice along with the rest of her body below her waist. Shoko released a sigh, believing the match to be over, however in hesitation Momo brought her left hand up, still branded by her shield. She brought the metal down to the ice and it cracked open. 'I can't believe that worked!' She thought as she was freed.
She ran back to gain distance. "You were amazing Todoroki, I can't believe I forgot to account for the fact you could spin to use your ice, that was a fault on my part." She made another staff and held it with both hands, the tip facing towards Shoko. 'What to do, what do I do?!'
"You too Yao-Momo." She had a small smile, barely noticeable. She had friends, and though she was fighting one of them right now she was having fun.
Shoko stomped her right foot down, ice spreading across the floor of the arena like a plague.
'How do I counter this? I don't have enough time to make a plan!' She was caught in the ice once again, this time everything up to her neck being covered.
Momo had a look of silence, "Momo Yaoyorozu, can you continue?"
"No, I cannot Miss Midnight." Momo responded, looking disheartened, Shoko felt bad but it was a tournament so it was fine, right? Shoko eventually thawed out Momo and they went to the halls.
"Wanna go back to the stands Yao-Momo?"
"I'll be there in a bit Shoko." She didn't want to but the Cold Girl eventually left, Momo sat in the halls by herself waiting, Izuku's match had started a short while ago, maybe she'd see him in a bit. It still stung, after one counter to her plan she had nothing to come back with. She preplanned everything but she had no failsafes, and she failed to think on the spot, "What if I'm not cut out to be a hero?"
00000
"FROM CLASS 1-C, THE BOY WHO HAS DONE NOTHING TO STAND OUT SO FAR, SHINSO HITOSHI!" Said boy stepped into the ring, the familiar lilac hair and tired eyes that resembled Aizawa's on his face.
"AND FROM CLASS 1-A, THE VICTOR OF THE OBSTACLE RACE, THOUGH HE DIDN'T PLACE WELL IN THE CAVALRY BATTLE, HE IS THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE, THE TOP OF THIS YEAR'S CLASS, IT'S IZUKU MIDORIYA!" Izuku had entered the ring, Shinso, that was his name, stood on the other side. His face showed no emotion at all.
'Ready to kick ass kid?'
'Yeah Kokoro.' Izuku said in an amused voice, a smile gracing his face for a second.
'Remember Midoriya, don't let your emotions get the best of you. And don't answer his questions, that may be the key to his quirk.'
'Got it Tamada, thanks.' Izuku became more serious now, as he nodded in agreement.
The two finally came to a stop, Izuku glared intensely at the lilac haired boy, while the other seemed indifferent towards the whole thing. Even after his "Declaration of War" he didn't seem at all excited or nervous, or anything, about the upcoming fight.
"Do you two understand the rules?"
"Yeah whatever.."
"Yes"
"Good, now!" She cracked her whip silencing everyone in the stadium, "BEGIN!"
"You must be pretty lucky, to have such a strong and versatile quirk." Shinso started off. Izuku stared at him indifferently. He was trying to rile him up and Izuku knew that, but he wasn't going to give in.
'Good job Midoriya.' Tamada said and he got a thanks from Izuku
Shinso seemed to freak out for a second, going by his wide eyes, but he quickly composed himself "What? Lost your tongue, or did that bubbly airhead tell you how my quirk works."
'Oh shit.' Kokoro said as soon as the words left Shinso's mouth. Izuku's teeth clenched and he bit his cheek to stop himself from talking.
"Honestly, the tail loser dropped out because of his pride and that other one was from support which makes sense why she stayed. But her, she just took the ticket all the way to the train station, honestly how can anyone believe she's going to be a hero-"
"SHUT UP YOU BASTA-"
"Checkmate." Shinso grinned as Izuku's eyes lost all of their life.
"DEKU, WHAT THE HELL WHY AREN'T YOU MOVING!" Bakugo yelled from the stands, leaning over the railing.
"Izuku! Come on please move!" Ochako yelled herself, using her hands to make a microphone shape. Iida had a similar reaction, "Midoriya! As the class rep of 1-A you must do your best, please snap out of it!" Shoko herself was staring in sadness, Izuku was strong, he shouldn't drop out of the tournament like this.
'KID! COME ON, YOU PLAYED RIGHT INTO HIS HAND!'
'I know! Please, can you do anything! Like take over my body that one time you did!'
'OH, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT! IT'S NOT WORKING! I'M TRYING AND SO IS THE OTHER DUMBASS IN THIS HEAD BESIDES YOU, NOTHING'S HAPPENING!'
'We're trying our best Midoriya, but your body isn't budging.
'I can't lose here, not yet! I made a promise to them I'd make it to the finals! Why won't I move-'
'GO'
Izuku moved the only thing he could, his eyes, and gazed into the tunnel he entered the stadium from. Ghosts, spirits, whatever they were, gazed back at him. They felt familiar, but he knew for a fact he had never seen them before. He felt One For All course through him and that's when he noticed, one of the ghosts looked like All Might. In his true form, the ghosts once again decided to speak, "WIN"
With his entire hand having One For All flow through it and moving it by a mere inch an insane gust of wind was brought to life, the movement it caused snapped him out of his brainwashing. He looked down at his hand to see two broken fingers, he probably used it by accident.
"WHAT, HOW'D YOU DO THAT?!" Shinso screamed.
"Kokoro, Darkness Style." The boy said, though he didn't respond to Shinso, and thus still had control over his body.
Izuku's eyes became crimson red, along with the entirety of his hair becoming black, "Boost" Izuku turned around to a shivering Shinso, he honestly felt bad, he had a below average quirk before the sludge incident, but Shinso's seemed so useful, yet because the Entrance Exam was robots, "I'm sorry." Izuku said as he proceeded to step towards his opponent.
"Shut up, you have an amazing quirk, life must've come real easy to you!" Shinso yelled.
Izuku decided that he was going to end this and rushed towards Shinso, black lightning basking behind him as a contrail as he appeared right before the other boy, punching him straight in the gut, knocking all the air out of him.
To his surprise the boy clung to his arm and smacked Izuku on the cheek, bruising it slightly, but due to his enhanced body he got with Boost, he didn't even feel it. Izuku brushed his cheek with his right hand and then brought it into a fist, Shinso still couldn't move his stomach hurt too much from the blow Izuku dealt earlier, "Fire Style: Inferno Smash!" Izuku's fist burned bright as it wurled with flame, he punched Shinso one final time, and the move pushed him out of bounds, though Izuku didn't feel satisfaction, just pity.
He heard Present Mic and Midnight announcing he won, but he didn't care. "Hey Shinso." he called out.
The other boy turned his head and scowled, "What do you want?"
"You said you were going to get into the hero course, don't go back on your promise." He had a small smile, but it was enough.
"Geez you 1-A kids are delusional, fine Midoriya, I'll make it in." Shinso had his own smile. Not as creepy as Aizawa's but a genuine smile.
"Maybe I'll help you workout sometime."
"Yeah, maybe."

And finally, jesus christ this took FOREVER
I'm so sorry you guys had to wait so long. If you want to sue me I will let you wholeheartedly, but with school I don't when the next chapter will come out. I'll try to get it out as soon as possible, which right now is looking like Christmas, but I don't know. It just depends on the amount of time I have.
Anyways, thank you for sticking with me during this trying time, and I hope you come back for the next chapter.
