As for the top 42 students that make it in the first event of the Festival, it will be the same as the canon one. Just letting you guys know rather than just listing all 42 students.

Anyways, here is the chapter!

Chapter 8: The Festival Begins!

Izuku was encased in a light as it suspended him up. He scanned the area to see Dawn reading a book from a distance, her gaze focused on the book, but she sensed his awoken state and closed her book. She got up from her seating and walked briskly towards Izuku. He put everything together and groaned as a sudden migraine hit him hard and waited as he massaged his temple to decrease the pain.

"I'm still unconscious?" He asked Dawn, and got a nod in return as she stood next to where he was being levitated. She dispersed the light and Izuku fell hard onto the floor of his sub-conscious mind where Dawn resided. He sent her a half-hearted glare as she gave a small smile as she then led him towards their little practice area.

"The power you used against that Nomu guy, that was a technique used by the First Wielder of The Shining. The ones with the dragons made up of the CB's." She clarified when she saw the confused look on his face before continuing on with her explanation.

"Anyways, ever since him, no one was ever able to recreate that move before, no matter how experience and talent they had. Even I couldn't accomplish it even if I can do all sorts of things." She said as she created some CB's and made many things out of it from guns to swords and even phone. It all dissipated once she was done and went back into her. Izuku was amazed by her talents and clapped a little, getting a chuckle from Dawn as she at the void of white.

"It sounds really cliche, but I think you might be the one to surpass all of the wielders of this quirk, maybe even the First." She said and looked at her watch on her wrist.

"It's been a couple of hours after the attack, time for you to wake up." She said and tossed him a box with a ring inside. He caught it and looked at her in confusion. She laughed and shoved him into the light that appeared behind him. He fell into the blinding light and once he came to, he was at the academy's infirmary. The box was still in his hands as he slowly sat up from the bed and looked at his surroundings. Recovery Girl was currently scolding Toshinori for some reason, but caught the attention of the two. Toshinori walked up to him with Recovery Girl on tow.

"How you feeling kid?" Toshinori sat down on the bed as Recovery Girl checked his body for any other complications, she couldn't find anything wrong with his body and told that he could be released. She did scold the boy for reckless behavior and sent him off to his house after he grabbed his bag from the classroom.

"You know, he reminds me of your early years, Toshinori." Recovery Girl said while checking the reports on Aizawa and Thirteen. Toshinori smiled as he watched his pupil walk out of the campus and disappeared past the corner.

"Me too..."

The Next Day...

Izuku walked towards the gate, seeing the stream of students walking into the campus site. He looked at his bandaged arm and slowly clenched his hand into a fist, not feeling any pain from it. He continued to walk until he got into the hallway of his class, hearing the noise of his classmates talking and moving around. He smiled and went to grab the door knob, but was tackled to the floor, nearly knocking the wind out of him, an landed with a loud "Oof!" He rubbed the back of his head and looked at the perpetrator, seeing a black pony-tail and spiked bangs. He was stunned for a moment, but soon wrapped his hands around her and pulled her in. Faint sniffles could be heard as she clenched the front of his shirt tight and looked up at him, onyx meeting green.

"I'm so, so glad that you're okay! I thought..." Momo trailed off as she wiped a stray tear from her eye and sat on Izuku's lap. He cupped her cheek and stroked it affectionately as they continued to look at each, soon they began to lean towards each other until their lips met each other...

If only that happened...

"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Both of them jerked out of their moment and saw a fully wrapped Aizawa from head-to-toe as he walked passed them and grabbed the doorknob.

"I know you've been worried about him, but now isn't the time to hug and kiss. You're late." He said, which was kind of hard to hear as the bandages muffled his words. They both blushed and hurried up and entered the class, but Aizawa stopped him at the door.

"Midoriya."

"Yes, Mr. Aizawa?"

"Thanks..." Aizawa said and told Izuku to go to his seat, which he nodded and went to his seat, giving smiles to several of his classmates as they showed their relief for him. He caught Kyoka's glimpse and she turned around with a frown on her face. He sighed and sat down on his seat as Aizawa was up at the class.

"The School Festival will be beginning in two weeks. Be prepared for it. This event will be seen by many Pro-Heroes and much more like that will be watching on. Use this as an opportunity to show off your skills." Everyone cheered on with excitement as they were pumped up for the event and started to discuss about the event. After a couple of classes later, Izuku, Ochaco, and Tenya were all talking about the Festival.

"I wanted to be a hero for the money to help my parents." Ochaco said with a solemn look on her face as they stopped walking. Izuku looked at her with a passive expression, but Tenya placed his hand on her shoulder.

"I don't think it's bad to be a hero for a living. You have an alternate reason why you want the money. I actually find it admirable." Tenya said and Izuku agreed with him, putting a smile on her face as she rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly and a small blush appeared on her face.

"Thank you, both of you. Now, I want to make a lot of money to help my parents have an easier life!" She fist-pumped the air, her face lit up with determination on her face as both Tenya and Izuku smiled at her. They continued onward until they ran into All-Might, and Ochaco's face lit up while Tenya bowed at a ninety degree angle. All-Might waved them off as he looked at Izuku.

"Young Izuku, would you like to have some lunch with me?" Izuku looked at his two companions, who nodded at him to go, and the master-pupil duo walked over to the break room after Izuku grabbed some lunch and Toshinori reverted back into his true form as the two talked about stuff.

"I can now only keep it up for 50 minutes at most now." Toshinori said and began to explain the situation to Izuku as they continued to eat their food. Izuku was really nervous, and it was showing as Toshinori got his attention and told him to relax.

"Anyways, are you ready for the School Festival? I assume you're going to be improving your other quirk?" Izuku nodded as he finished his water and placed it down on the table.

"Yeah, I would like to get stronger and to better improve The Shining. I do have a plan for that." Toshinori nodded.

"My time as the Symbol of Peace is coming to an end. After the last of my minutes happen, that's it." Izuku grew a little bit sad. But, Toshinori gripped his student's shoulder and locked eyes with him.

"I want you to become the next "All-Might", Izuku. Be the next #1 hero, show them all at the school festival. I'm counting on you, my boy."

"Of course!"

After school was over, Izuku grabbed his bag and started to head out of the class, but when he opened the door, a crowd of students blocked his way as they all tried to get shots of Class 1-A. He looked at the crowd and then to his surprised classmates as the noise that the crowd was making started to annoy Izuku as he really wanted leave.

"Are they trying to scope us?" Izuku frowned as his way was blocked and it didn't look like it would disperse anytime soon. Soon, Katsuki got into an argument with a student from the general studies. It was clear that many of the students that weren't in the Hero Course were gunning for one of the spots in both classes. Izuku smiled at that as he continued to wait as the crowd dispersed. A Class 1-B student was the only one left as he surveyed the class.

"You guys defeated villains? You seem pretty smug about it." He said as he walked off.

"Don't embarrass yourselves now." Katsuki grew angry at this and yelled at the class not to screw up in the Festival. Izuku shook his head and began to prepare for the festival.

During the two weeks, Izuku trained The Shining for most of the time, and little on OFA. He focused on his original quirk as he felt that he isn't really connected with it as he should be. So, he started out with going over all of the basics again, from summoning the bars to his overall combat prowess, and Dawn was more than happy to help as she helped him with his stances and control. He felt with each day he was getting stronger as he continued to train under Dawn's tutelage.

"Hey, would you like to learn my power?" Dawn asked as she took a sip of water. Izuku immediately nodded and soon was snapped back into reality. He looked around confused as he was not at his house, but was at some plains as he watched the rolling grass sway and the wind blowing the clouds. He was tapped on the shoulder and spun around to see Dawn smiling at him. She stood at least a head taller than him as he looked up in confusion.

"How are you here? I thought you-" She held up her hand as he stopped and looked at her, expecting an answer from her. She looked up at the moving clouds and looked back down at her pupil. She interlocked her hands and looked at Izuku.

"The reason I can do this is because you have unlocked the stage that can allow me to manifest into this world. Basically, your power is what allows me to be here. It's not that I'm using your energy, but in a way, it is. Just, don't ask questions about it, 'kay?" Izuku nodded slowly as he took the time to look at her. She was beautiful as her long blonde hair flowed through the air, and her physique was nothing to scoff at. He looked conflicted before looking at her.

"You died, correct?" She nodded and he sighed before steeling his mind.

"So, you died when you looked like this?" He motioned towards her appearance. She didn't say anything for a couple of minutes, and he thought that she wasn't going to answer, but she spoke before he could get a word out.

"I was 24. I died when the team of Pro-Heroes I was with left me when we were in an operation against some local villains. I suffered injuries from battling all of the villains that were there, and I tried to get to the surface. Unfortunately, my team killed me when they saw me walking out of the building still alive. They did so to silence me from exposing that they weren't doing their duties. Since I didn't find a successor for The Shining, I was forced to look for one even after death, and that's were me and you crossed paths. At the pool, remember? When you were facing that villain, by then I was watching you for quite awhile. I saw how you wanted to be a hero for all of your childhood." Dawn said while holding back a snicker. Izuku frowned as she failed to hold her laughter and waited for her to continue with her backstory.

"Yeah, yeah, real funny." Izuku snapped at her as she finally managed to calm herself. She coughed into her hand and began to rub her arm.

"Anyways, when your resolve to protect that Momo girl, I felt that resolve and right then and there, I made you my successor. Actually, I wanted to make you my successor when you were four, but..." Dawn stopped as she tried to form as she tapped her index fingers together nervously.

"Since I was a little kid? I presume since it would have been bad to see a little kid flash to have a power-up, yes?" Dawn nodded with a blush on her face. He chuckled as he watched the sea of white clouds move.

"But, how are you able to manifest here in reality?"

"Well, before I inherited The Shining, my quirk was Materialization. Basically, I can create everything anything I want, drawback is that I become really perverted when I over do it, but after I got The Shining, it wasn't so much as a drawback as before. Anyways, since you've become stronger than ever, and technically since we are joined in a way, I share the same amount of energy as you. So, with that, I was able to materialize my self into the living world, kapeesh?" She saw Izuku nodding really slowly and sighed.

"Anyways I would like to teach you how to materialize stuff with The Shining as apparently, your version of the quirk has acquired the power of my quirk, probably because I used the both of them together a lot. For example, your Pike attack and Flair were made from the fusion of The Shining and my quirk. So, I want to train you so that you can materialize anything and everything efficiently. But, the censorship bars were came with The Shining, so for you, you basically get three quirks in total. Lucky..." She pouted. He sighed before nodding and soon began to train until the Festival. With each growing day, Izuku grew more and more accustomed to materializing objects along with Dawn.

"Damn, I'm really rusty on this, heheheheh..." Dawn said with a weird grin on her face as she continued to materialize objects just like that, while Izuku was panting on the ground as with only a couple of things materialized. He scowled as Dawn was still making stuff, getting more and more obscene to the point where she was making...toys of sorts.

"Dammit, she's making adult toys, but she looks like she isn't stopping for awhile. Just how much energy does she use for materialization? Probably maximizes her object creation while using little energy." Izuku thought as he finished resting up and began to make some more stuff.

Izuku grew more and more powerful for the festival, and once the two weeks were up, Dawn returned to her spot in his conscious, promising that she will appear to watch him at the festival. He chuckled and walked towards the school, meeting Momo halfway through and they linked arms while discussing what they did over the two weeks.

"I spent it broadening my knowledge and trained my quirk to do more, and ate... a lot." She blushed a bit. Izuku chuckled and got punched on the shoulder.

"Ow! What was that for?" Momo just huffed and smiled as they both laughed it off. They reached the school, grabbed their PE uniforms, and once everyone was ready, they headed towards the stadium where the Festival was going to be. They reached the waiting room where they were designated and waited for it to begin. Izuku was watching the live coverage of the Festival on the TV.

"Midoriya." Izuku turned and locked eyes with Shoto as he approached him, the room going silent as the two of them stared at each other.

"I'm stronger than you, and I plan on making that public." Shoto said. Momo looked on worriedly as the rest of the class looked on with surprise on their face. Izuku passively looked at him before.

"I see, well, you never know what might happen on the field. I will be giving it my best just like the other students from the other departments. I expect you to do the same, Todoroki." Izuku said. Shoto turns around, but Izuku noticed the small smile on his face as they called for them to enter the Freshman Stage. Izuku breathed in and out before making his way towards the stage, along with the rest of his class.

"And now, coming into the stadium is Class 1-A!" The Referee of the Freshman Stage, the risque hero Midnight said as she held out her flogger-styled whip. She got several whistles as she posed sexily at the incoming students, getting Minoru's and Denki's attention, while some of the girls rolled their eyes. Once everyone had arrived, Midnight walked up from the stage.

"Can I have the player representative to come up towards the stage?" Katsuki gave a wicked grin and used his quirk to get up on the stage, and received the microphone from Midnight.

"I will take first place, and crush everyone in my way!" Everybody began to shout at him, rebuking him as he made his way down. Izuku noticed the seriousness in his voice and smiled as he got pumped for the Festival.

"What a turn-on! Anyways, let the Festival...BEGIN!" Cheering from the crowds were heard as they were lead to the first event. They all gathered again as Midnight began to explain the rules.

"The first event is an obstacle race!" Midnight said as she pointed at the starting point. People rushed to be at the front of the line as Izuku struggled to get a position amongst the wave of students. He grunted when he was elbowed a couple of times, but noticed the temperature of the air began to grow cold. He looked around to see Shoto already getting ready. Izuku quickly reacted as when Midnight said go, the floor iced over. Izuku avoided it by jumping using OFA all and passed many of the students that were trying to get their feet unfrozen. He saw that the rest of Class 1-A avoided the ice attack and smiled as he landed on the ice and ran as he took of the top of his PE uniform and tied it around his waist, revealing his green tank-top under and continued on.

"Should have expected that they would've avoided my ice attack." Shoto said as he was in first place, followed by Katsuki and Izuku. Izuku noticed the loud footsteps and saw Minoru passing him and tried to attack Shoto, but was swatted away by a villain robot as they appeared out of nowhere and begun to attack the students. Shoto froze them all with his ice and continued on, while Katsuki and Izuku both destroyed the robots in their way with their quirks and tried to catch up to Shoto. Momo had made cannons and fired them off, destroying several robots. She continued on as her PE top was open, revealing her black bra as she continued on, along with the rest of the crowd as she tried to catch up with Izuku.

The second obstacle was the Fall, a canyon with ropes to cross the ravines. As Izuku got there, he saw both Shoto and Katsuki already almost down with it and began to pick up the pace as he used OFA and jumped the ravines. He completed the obstacle, but noticed he lost some time and cursed as he used OFA and increased his speed to try and catch up to the two.

As he came across the minefield, he saw Katsuki and Shoto getting into a little scuffle as they were getting close towards the end of the field. Izuku quickly scanned his surroundings and decided to do something stupid. He jumped so that he was just above a mound and aimed at it.

"I hope I don't regret doing this!" Izuku said as he waited for the right moment when he would get propelled forward with his Delaware Smash and with the added propulsion of the mine.

"I hope this works!" Izuku fired off his Delaware Smash and triggered the mine. He quickly created a barrier to protect him from the explosion as he was sent flying closer and closer towards the two up front. Everyone else behind the three gawked at Izuku as they saw him fly closer and closer to the two. The propulsion gave him the lead for a couple of seconds as he noticed Shoto and Katsuki already gaining on him as he quickly scanned the ground and saw another mound and once again focused his aim and fired off yet another Delaware Smash, but was a bit too powerful as the blast of the smash and mine forced the two back as Izuku was propelled a little bit too fast as he tried and stop himself, but it was a lost cause as the power that he used caused him to cross the finish line and crash into the wall on the other side.

"Just my luck..." Izuku grunted as he stood up and held his head as he noticed Shoto and Katsuki crossing the finish line, 2nd and 3rd respectively. He then saw the rest of the people that made it and soon, 42 students had made it. Izuku saw Toshinori giving him a thumbs-up and smiled as he made his way towards the stage where Midnight was at.

"Alright! We have our top 42 students that will advance to the next event. That event will be..." The screen behind her began to cycle through events until it landed on Cavalry Battle. The crowd cheered in excitement as Midnight waved her whip. Izuku looked at it with interest as he felt like he was going to be put in a bad spot since he placed first.

"It is the Cavalry Battle! Alright, here are some of the rules." She displayed an image with All-Might being carried by Present Mic and Thirteen. Point values were displayed for each of them and Izuku instantly knew he was at a severe disadvantage.

"If I'm thinking things right, I will be in the spotlight for all of this event." Izuku thought as Midnight explained the event.

"Teams will be made up of 2-4 people and you team values will be the points you get based off of your rankings in total. So, here are the rankings and the scores!" The screen began from 42nd as it displayed the scores of all of them until they reached 1st place, and Izuku could only sigh as he looked at his score.

"Are you serious...?" He was worth ten million points and noticed everyone's gaze on him turn hostile as he was going to be the main target of this event, but instead of feeling nervous, he walked up to the foot of the stage and turned around to face the group. Midnight looked on with interest as she saw Izuku boldly face his opposition and it kind of made her feel hot.

"Ohh, we could a bold one, huh?" She licked her lips and watch on. Izuku all of sudden released a shockwave of power as he created a ball of The Shining's energy and the winds of his power display ruffled his clothes and swayed his hair. The ball continued to ooze out aura and power as he looked at everyone. Some people gasped as they saw his eyes glow green and gold as a ring of gold surrounded his iris.

"Since, I'm first, I will be everyone's target, right?" Izuku said as he increased his power and lightning made from the ball danced around in his hands and he soon crushed it, again releasing a shockwave that caused people to shield themselves from the power.

"But...you're not taking 1st place from me." Izuku said confidently as he reverted back to normal and walked back to his spots, feeling the glares of many of his opponents. Midnight licked her lips in anticipation as she was turned on by Izuku's display of energy. Toshinori smiled as he saw his pupil's declaration of war.

"Man Aizawa, you have a beast in your class! Makes me want to say HEY!" Present Mic said to Aizawa, who was still bandaged and couldn't see anything, but he knew that it was Izuku.

"That's it, my boy! Show everyone your resolve!" Toshinori said as his grin grew wider.

"Alright! Ladies and gentlemen, Izuku Midoriya has declared war on everybody so confidently, it turns me on!" Midnight said as she sensually moved her hands across her body, getting multiple cheers from the crowds and participants alike. Momo didn't like what the hero said and glared at the hero. Izuku noticed Momo's anger and trailed her line of sight until he landed his gaze on the rsique hero and sighed before smiling and waited.

"Alright, you have 15 minutes to find you teams. Ready? Begin!" Izuku looked around as people rushed to find a team, but he noticed that noone wanted to be on a team with him, which he completely understood.

"This is bad, I get why nobody wants to be on my team as I will be the high-valued target everybody is going for." He continued to look around, but couldn't find anyone, but was tapped on the shoulder by Ochaco. Izuku turned around to see her and Tenya.

"Deku, let's be on a team! That's what friends should do!" She said cheerfully, and her infectious personality made him smile. He then looked at Tenya.

"What about you, Tenya?" Ochaco asked as she looked at Tenya, but he shook his head and fixed his glasses.

"I'm sorry, but I want to defeat you, Izuku." He said and joined Shoto's team, along with Momo and Denki. Izuku felt a little bit disappointed that his girlfriend was against him, but he understood and continued to look to find other people to join his team. He looked around, but soon his vision was blocked by a girl wearing goggles and had a bunch of neat gadgets on her belt. He stepped back when she came closer to him and she even placed her chest on his arm when she studied his face. His face turned red when he felt how soft her chest was.

"Stop it Izuku, you have a girlfriend already! Bad thoughts!" She unwrapped herself from him and stood in front of Izuku.

"Hey, 1st place! Let me be on your team, and that means you're in the spotlight 24/7, which means I get to show off my precious babies! Oh, by the way, my name is Mei Hatsume!" Mei said as she raised her goggles to reveal her yellow eyes. Izuku noticed her pupils were replaced with crosshairs. He then looked at her gadgets until he saw a jet pack and got really excited.

"Woah, is that a jetpack used by the Pro-Hero Air Jet?!" Mei instantly lit up and ran up to him, nodding enthusiastically. They ended up having a conversation about it while Ochaco looked on with confusion as she didn't understand some of the things they were talking about. After they finished up their conversation, Izuku welcomed her into his team and went off to find one more person. He looked and his eyes landed on the person he needed to complete his team.

"Fumikage would you like to join my team?" He explained to his classmate his strategy on how he was going to be purely on defense. Fumikage agreed since he was best at defense since they were in broad daylight, and then he told Izuku about his weaknesses and what he can do. He nodded and the two went back to Ochaco and Mei as the clock winded down. Everyone began to get ready as Izuku got up onto his position as the rider, Mei and Ochaco as the legs, and Fumikage as the head. As the event was almost ready to begin, Izuku sighed and calmed his nerves as he did a little chant and suddenly, his team members began to glow gold as he finished his chant. Ochaco looked at him in confusion.

"What was that, Deku?" She asked and Izuku smiled and asked her to hold out her palm. She did and her hand began to glow as she felt power similar to Izuku's.

"It seems you gave us a small amount of your quirk, Izuku. Very impressive indeed, your control of your quirk is impeccable." Fumikage said as he looked at his glowing hand and the aura surrounding the team. Izuku blushed at the compliment.

"I just simply gave you my blessing in a way. Although, it's not permanent, it will probably last for this match. I thought I could do it." They nodded and got ready. He sighed.

"Thanks Dawn for that. I'm surprised I can transmit some of my power over to others for a couple of minutes." He thought to Dawn.

"I'm grateful one of the techniques I created would actually work, you know, since I never got to test it out because I died. Anyways, this is just a simple transmission. I can teach you the other one after this. By the way, the event is about start. Get ready, and maybe I'll give you a bit of assistance, you know, like spider-sense? Anyways, good luck." Izuku nodded and Midnight looked at everyone and waved her whip high in the air.

"Let the Cavalry Battle, BEGIN!" Everyone started to rush Izuku's team.

"Alright guys, let's do this!" Izuku shouted and got into position before charging at the opposition.

And done! How was it? Good, Bad?

As for the Midoriya with the Persona powers story, the story name for right now is "A Personafied Hero." Yeah, sounds really dumb, but that's what I came up with. As for Izuku's main persona, just have to figure it out once I finish up the first chapter.

Anyways, I actually might make this a MeixIzukuxMomo since I really love Mei and yeah, let me know if you want that or nah.

Review and tell me what do better.

If you have a question or want me to reply to your review, please leave it down on THIS CHAPTER a.k.a CHAPTER 8! If it's not in this chapter, I will not respond to it, just letting you know.

Please, enjoy this story and hopefully, once my new story goes up, you will like it as well.

Anyways, I'll see you, in the next chapter!
