I was lying in my bed and thought back to the USJ, everyone was awesome, I'm gonna need to write some pages about them all. I got up to my desk and started to write about the classmates I saw do stuff. Jiro, Mina, Shoji, Himiko. Maybe I shouldn't think about her actually, I'll remember the whole blood drinking thing. I got shivers from the memory, but I don't know what emotion caused it. I think I'll just go to sleep after writing one on Jiro. I heard a knock on the door and opened the door, only to see Jiro standing there, speak of the devil. "Hey, I just wanted to thank you for saving us at the USJ, and that's about it." Before she left, I called her and asked if she could help me with my notes. "I mean, sure, but surely there's not much to write about me." I let her into my room and showed her what I had written so far, getting a look of surprise from her. "Woah, how do you read this stuff, it's all in some weird language." Nezu had told me to write in a code since the notes could cause serious issues if a villain got their hands on it. "Oh, it's in code, now I have a few questions." I ended up practically interrogating her until I realised the time and apologised to her for keeping her up so late. I couldn't forget about… certain parts of the USJ attack, and ended up sleeping a little less, but was still so tired that it didn't change much. "Now I understand that the USJ attack might have scared us, but it's time for the Sports Festival. And don't worry, security was upped by five times the amount so looked pretty excited, and Ochako seemed to have a look on her face that was very out of place. I asked her on the way out what that was about, and she told me she wanted to be a hero for the money, since her family was going through tough times. "That's an amazing reason to be a hero, don't worry!"

A few weeks later (The weeks will be in next chapter)

As we opened the door, we saw a huge crowd of people. "Hello, we are the amazing class 1-B, and I am Neito Monoma, and we are here to tell you that there is absolutely no chance scum like you could beat us at the festival. What's your quirk, green boy, glow?!" He laughed maniacally, before a massive hand smacked him away. "Sorry about him, I'm Itsuka Kendo, hope we have a great fight!" They all left, and we wished (most of) them luck. "OK EVERYONE, IT'S TIME FOR THE SPORTS FESTIVAL, ARE YOU ALL READY?!" Everyone in the crowd cheered. "The first contest will be… an obstacle course race!" Midnight shouted into the microphone, and everyone was wondering how she was even allowed in a school. As everyone went to the entrance, I saw class B's Monoma shouting about how 1-A was useless, and how they would easily overpower them. Then the go went off and I leaped through the gate before everyone crowded in. I saw Todoroki was second, but still pretty far behind. I was really far ahead, so far I couldn't see anyone aside from some explosions. Then something appeared in front of me, about ten of the Zero-Pointers from the entrance exam, that feels like so long ago. Unlike then, however, I'm now able to destroy them with ease. With a single punch, I took out three of the Zero-Pointers, leaving the audience awestruck, but I didn't realise. I also didn't realise that there was an announcement that I had gotten to them. I left the rest for the other contestants and ran off again. I then got to a huge cavern filled area, and just jumped over the chasms. There wasn't much left at that point, so I just ran to the end. "AND THE WINNER IS, IZUKU MIDORIYA! BIT NOW THAT'S OVER, HOW ABOUT WE PAY MORE ATTENTION TO WHO'LL GET 2ND!" President Mic shouted. (Before Izuku won, from Katsuki's perspective) "Hey Half n' Half, you might have a little lead right now, but it isn't gonna last long! You're nowhere near my level!" I shouted to Todoroki, I kinda hope the taunting will get him off guard, but I didn't really mean it. I hope it came off genuine. "IT SEEMS MIDORIYA HAS FOUND THE FIRST REAL CHALLENGE, BUT WE WON'T SPOIL IT FOR THE OTHERS!" He's already made it so far ahead, how about I just pretend he's not part of the competition, and go for second. After a bit of exploding, we got to the obstacle, and saw three of them were already destroyed from the 'waist' up, damnit Deku, you're strong. I saw Todoroki freeze another three almost entirely, but he obviously left them in an unstable position, so I used that to my advantage. I set off an explosion, and made the massive robots fall in the direction he didn't want them to, and blocked him off. He looked more annoyed then than he had the entire year so far, which still wasn't very much. He was a little behind me now, so I had a lead at least. We came across these chasms, and the two of our quirks let us easily get past it. We were really close, way too close, but finally, I managed to get to the finish before him. "AND THIRD PLACE IS, KATSUKI BAKUGOU! WAS THAT CLOSE OF WHAT?! FOURTH WAS SHOTO TODOROKI, AND SECOND WAS SOMEONE WE COULDN'T EVEN SEE, HIMIKO TOGA. FROM WHAT I HEARD, SHE GRABBED ONTO MIDORIYA'S BACK, AND HE COULDN'T FEEL IT BECAUSE SHE'S 'REALLY GOOD AT HIDING HER PRESENCE'" He emphasised the last six words, and I saw Katsuki's face darken with annoyance. "Deku, come on, how did you not notice someone literally on your back?"

(Back to Izuku) "NEXT WE HAVE THE CAVALRY BATTLE! WE DID THIS LAST YEAR, BUT THIS YEAR THERE'S A NEW RULE, YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SPLIT UP FROM YOUR TEAMMATES IF NECESSARY, OR IF YOU'RE IN A ONE ON ONE FIGHT! ALSO, DON'T PUSH IT, YOU CAN'T BE TOO FAR AWAY UNLESS IT WAS FORCED UPON YOU." He explained the rules, and then just as people began to try to team up with me, "OH, AND 1ST PLACE HAS 1 MILLION POINTS!" And everyone left. Except for some people, they were a pink haired girl, and Himiko. "Hey 1st place! I'm Mei Hatsume, call me Mei, and I need you to help me test my babies!" Himiko and I looked at each other for a moment before agreeing to let her join our team, even if she's a bit… energetic. Himiko asked to drink my blood again, but I said it was a good idea to keep her quirk a secret, especially if she's planning on being an underground hero. She begrudgingly agreed. "OK EVERYONE, THE CHALLENGE STARTS, NOW!" Everyone turned towards where we were, but last week Himiko had taught me the very basics of hiding my presence, but I couldn't move while I was doing it, but thankfully I could still have OFA active. Everyone went off in different directions, and they missed me entirely, and Hatsume gave her points to me so she couldn't be stolen from. We were then on the move, and hid behind a wall, but luckily for us, this was a piece of metal that went flying when either me or Katsuki blew parts off the Zero-Pointer, and couldn't be moved by Cementos or Pixie-Bob's quirks. Unfortunately though, they were bored of us hiding, and decided to constantly show the 1st place's position on a massive screen. After that, I took the two of them on my back, and used one of Mei's jetpacks to launch myself with extra momentum. I managed to evade the people, until the jetpack ran out of fuel, and Mei hurriedly kicked it off, and it exploded. Just after that, Katsuki, Kirishima, and Tetsutetsu, ran up to me and set off an explosion in my face, and using the momentum, the two worshippers of manliness were launched directly into me, unlucky for them, though. I used an explosion of my own, and launched the two up and past me. Katsuki then, using the small moment of distraction, let off an explosion much larger than even I could, and I barely managed to keep a hold of the million points as I flew backwards across the arena then into a wall. The audience looked at him like he was crazy, but I knew he knew I'd be fine. He did get the other bands though, which put him at third, and he decided to go for an easier target, and he and his team ran off towards Todoroki's team. I saw that he managed to get one or two of their bands, just before the game ended, getting them to second. "GAME OVER! THAT BATTLE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND THIS ROUND WAS INTENSE! LET'S HEAR YOU ALL CHEER! The crowd erupted into cheers, and Katsuki itand I talked about the battle. "That explosion was insane, I can't even do that!" You could see the pride radiating off his face. "Told you, I'm better at my quirk than you are, and that's a fact. Plus, I focus more on my one since I don't have a bunch of others." He wasn't kidding, I have to use OFA to get anything near that size of an explosion, everyone went overboard with practice these last few weeks, even I did.

"UP NEXT WE'VE GOT THE TOURNAMENT!" It was finally the last round, and everyone was prepared to see who they'd be put against. He showed the brackets, and I was against Shinso. I let Himiko drink some of my blood, because she was thirsty, and also in case she needed the extra boost in power if someone was too strong. It was time for the match to start, and I went to the arena. I don't know his quirk so this might be a problem. "Hey Midoriya, how's that boring quirk of yours doing, there's no chance you can win, loser." He was taunting me. "You wish-" Suddenly everything was blank, I could only see, and think. I had no control over my own body. "Hah, I win." Shinso said to me with complete confidence, but he had a good reason to be confident. He asked me to walk out of the ring, and I started walking to the edge. I had to think fast, maybe if I use a lot of strength to move a body part, like my finger, I can break out of this trance. I concentrated a large percentage of OFA into my finger, and ended up breaking it, but I was out of the trance now. "Oh, impressive, but you can't possibly think that you've won." I then proceeded to throw him out the ring. "Well done, that's a really good quirk for heroics. I hope you can become a pro." I went and watched the other matches, and I saw that Himiko was forced to leave, because there was no blood to drink, and she would hurt someone if she didn't have any. Ochako and Katsuki's match was intense, but Katsuki (barely) came out on top, after she floated herself and managed to get him in the air, but he got a hold of the floor, and finally managed to blow her out of the ring. Now I had to go up against Todoroki, which was a little worrying, but I'm sure if I manage to get behind him I can win. Before our match started though, he came up to me. He talked about his father and family, and how that's why he won't use his left side. This gave me a better idea, though. I'll convince him that his quirk's his, and not Endeavour's. "NOW WE'VE GOT TWO OF THE BIGGEST POWERHOUSES IN THE TOURNAMENT, IZUKU MIDORIYA AND SHOTO TODOROKI!" Everyone was excited for this one, and there were cheers echoing off the walls. "I will win, so go all out" Todoroki said simply, before shooting off his usual glacier, but I managed to dodge it. "I won't go all out if you don't, use your full quirk. He shot crystals of ice at me. "I will never use my pathetic excuse of a father's quirk." I dodged them again, but one of them grazed my face. "It's not his, is he able to use ice and fire? Just like my quirk isn't my father's, it's not your father's either!" He hesitated for a moment, before smiling a little. "I haven't ever thought of it like that, you know." He shot an inferno at me, which I blew away with a punch. I ran towards him, got a grip on his arm, and I put him out of the ring by picking him up and going as fast as I could without immobilising myself, which broke the sound barrier. "AND MIDORIYA WINS, I HAD NO IDEA HE COULD GO THAT FAST!" I wished Todoroki well, and he smiled a little, and thanked me for helping him with his quirk. I had to go to Recovery Girl, because even though I didn't break anything, I damaged myself a lot. The next match I was in was against Tenya, and I was a little worried because he's way faster than I am. I managed to get a hold on his leg, and overheated it with explosions so he couldn't use it, and blew him out the ring. Katsuki fought Tokoyami next, and won pretty closely. And it was time for me to go against Katsuki, I have no idea how much he's improved, but if that explosion from the cavalry battle is anything to base off of, then he's gotten really strong. "NOW FOR THE FINAL ROUND, TWO OF OUR TOUGHEST STUDENTS, KATSUKI BAKUGOU THE KING OF EXPLOSIONS, AND IZUKU MIDORIYA, THE WIELDER OF WHO KNOWS HOW MANY QUIRKS!" The audience roared, but I was focused on predicting what he'd do. He knows that if he used small explosions, they'd do absolutely nothing to me, so I think he'll probably go for a massive one at the start. I'll dig my hand into the floor, and throw myself behind him with a couple quirks and 45% of OFA, and try to use the broken arena to my advantage, by using the air pressure to his debris at him. "AND, GO!" Just as expected, he let off a massive one, but what I didn't expect was for him to keep letting more off, and getting closer as he did so, and since I couldn't go through with my plan, I let off a 47% punch, which blew him away, but not out the ring, but he had to stop making explosions for a bit, and I used this to my advantage. I put my plan from before the game into action, and instead of going behind him, I went above, and knocked him into the ground, which I felt really bad for. "Bakugou, can you move?" Said someone from the judges, and they barely made out a shake of his head. "THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT IS, IZUKU MIDORIYA! TALK ABOUT A HAT-TRICK!" The crowd cheered, and I picked up Katsuki and got him to Recovery Girl, who also fixed my fractured arm from going over 45%, thank god I got Hardening.

Unknown to me, something was happening to Ingenium, Tenya's brother, and it was severe. (Ingenium POV) "You fakers really get on my nerves, you know" The Hero Killer said as he licked the blood off of one of his swords. I was paralyzed, and before I knew it, he stabbed my leg and arm, and left me there to bleed out. Then everything was blank until I woke up in a hospital bed, surrounded by doctors. "Ah, he's awake. Tenya Iida, you can enter." My brother burst into the room, and gave me a hug, thank god my injuries were healed. (Back to Izuku) I was on the podium, next to Katsuki, Tokoyami, and Todoroki as 2nd, 3rd, and the runner up. A couple days passed after the competition and I got recognised by some people in public, but I rushed off to class before the questions got worse. "Today we're picking hero names, get writing." Aizawa handed out some whiteboards and everyone started to think of names. "Hey everyone, I'm gonna be telling you if your name's ok to use or not!" Midnight strode into the class, and I noticed Kaminari making a conscious effort to look at her face instead of… below that. Everyone was presenting their names, and some of them got lots of support, like Froppy, and Uravity. Some of them not so much, like 'I cannot stop twinkling', and Todoroki just using Shoto. It eventually got to Iida's turn, and in honour of his brother, he named himself Ingenium, which had a lot more significance to those who knew what really happened to his brother. Then for my name, I chose Deku, because the name has come around from a demeaning nickname, to a name that has good connotations. Everyone got settled on names, and we went onto the next thing. "Now, here are the draft requests." Blunt as usual, he displayed the graph. "Whoa! Midoriya got 5,000! And Todoroki's just behind him with a little over 4,500!" After all that was done, I decided to go with Aizawa, since fighting quirkless is my biggest weakness, that's if he can remove all of them, that is. Also because Himiko is going with him, and he made an exception to have the two of us because we both had very good reasons to go with him. It was the day the internship began, and I was ready to try my hardest. Suddenly Himiko appeared out of seemingly nowhere right in front of me. "Hey Izu! Are you ready to try your hardest? Cause you'll need it!" The two of us walked up to the building that we were instructed to go to, and when we went in there was nobody there. Then we heard something behind us, and spun around only to find our quirks removed, and that we were on our backs on the floor. "Hello you two, you'll need to work on that, surprise attacks are really common you know." This is going to be a difficult couple of weeks, I'm gonna need to try my hardest alright.
