"Now that the ice has been cleared off from the last match let's get the next one rolling. To the right is the girl who gives new meaning to the term scatterbrained Setsuna Tokage from 1-B versus the mechanic of destruction that's actually scatterbrained Mei Hatsume from 1-H"

"OK, Pinky you know the plan. Let me show my skills and I'll let you show your babies" Tokage stated with a sharp smile.

"Yeah yeah" Mei said disinterestedly as she fiddled with a speaker system attached to her harness of support equipment.

"BEGIN" Midnight called.

"Greeting potential investors. I have the pleasure today of showing you the beginnings of the greatest support company in the world, Hatsume Industries." She paused for dramatic affect. "Let me show you the first of my babies, the Hover soles." With a hum the soles activated raising Hatsume slightly off the ground.

"With these babies your natural agility will be magnified tenfold. Now I'll ask my lovely assistant to show off the next piece of gear, the Capture Gun."

Wasting no time Tokage split her arms from her body floating them high into the air before firing down at Hatsume. Just before she could be captured from the large net descending on her, a metallic cylinder telescoped out of Hatsume's backpack, slamming into the ground and sliding her out of danger.

"And there we have item three the Hydraulic Bracers, on the pack I'm wearing are a set of complete 360 degree sensors. They allow the Bracers to evade any attack from any direction. Say goodbye to sneak attacks and ambushes."

As Hatsume said that line she was forcibly moved out of the way of a dozen projectiles as Tokage set her split off body parts to strike at her from all directions.

The impromptu speech continued for another five minutes as Tokage assisted in showing off all the tech Hatsume had brought. In the end Hatsume stepped out of the ring with a bow.

"Well I don't think I'd call that a match, but I hope it entertained the investors in the crowd" Mic stated.

"Some of our other students would do well to realise that what they do here is a presentation of themselves and UA as a whole." Kaminari, Ashido and Sero could almost feel Aizawa's eyes on them from the announcers booth.

"On that note let's see what the next match will show us. On the right is the girl who takes mario power-ups too literally, Kinoko Komori from 1-B, also from 1-B we have the big sister of the class who rules with a giant fist, Itsuka Kendo."

"BEGIN"

Kendo rushed forward closing the distance as Komori was gradually enshrouded by a mist-like substance. Kendo, seeing the cloud forming, enlarged her hand sweeping it forward to blow away the mushroom spores.

"I might not be much of a front line fighter, but I'm not going to make it easy for you", Komori stated as her bangs covered her eyes.

Kendo clutched her enlarged hand into a fist, or at least tried. Looking at her hand she saw that the spores she had tried to blow away had sprouted all over, immobilising the hand and restricting her from shrinking it back down.

"Not bad Komori, but I've still got to be the one to win this thing".

With that she charged forward, swinging with her already encased hand, Komori was slightly too slow as she was clipped on the shoulder. Bouncy mushroom caps sprouted just before the blow landed greatly reducing the force of the strike.

Kendo proceeded to unleash a barrage of strikes only slightly slowed by her still enlarged hand, Komori was forced to scramble to evade as many of the blows as possible. Even as Komori did everything she could she was still forced back into a corner, before she knew it she was teetering on the edge.

Kendo prepared herself to launch the final blow, she had noticed that her onslaught had been slowing down, she could feel her joints locking up as mushroom colonies grew within them. 'I have to end this now, otherwise I won't be able to move at all' Kendo thought.

"DEMOLITION SLEDGE", Kendo swung her still shrunken hand overhead, coming down in a crushing hammer blow, just before impact she enlarged her fist. Luckily for Komori's skeleton, Kendo had aimed at the ground in front of her. The power of the blow broke the corner off the concrete stage where Komori was standing.

"Winner Itsuka Kendo" Midnight announced as Komori's back hit the ground.

"What a match listeners, Young Kendo showing real tenacity in chasing down her target. That's not to discredit Komori, if the match had carried on longer the table's would have quickly turned. Every give a round of applause while Cementoss fixes up the ring."

Shinso and Bakugo stood across from each other waiting for the signal to start.

"You've really dropped the ball so far you Chihuahua" Shinso needled. "Midoriya has proven himself better then you at every turn."

Bakugo bit his lip as a vein on his forehead bulged out.

"I guess you'll just have to be his sidekick"

"BEGIN"

Bakugo was off like a literal gunshot, planning to defeat Shinso in one blow with his classic right hook.

Shinso thought back to his training with Midoriya leading up to the festival:

"Kacchan is strong, confident and he has crazy reaction time. But he has the bad habit of always opening with his signature right hook." Midoriya had said

"Why are you friends with him anyway? You seem so different from one another" Shinso asked.

"Well we grew up together, but what really cemented our friendship was when I lost my arm." Shinso was gobsmacked as he stared at Izuku's Zonai appendage. "Yeah I lost it in an accident I actually had only one arm for two years before my quirk finally came in. Kids started to pick on me pretty quick, I was just a powerless, disabled kid. They called me Deku, or at least they tried, Kacchan looked out for me, he was already the strongest and he took it upon himself to stop anyone calling me that."

"Wow, I never would've thought he was the kind of guy to do something like that."

"Yeah no one really does, he really is a hero though, and he works harder than anyone to be number one."

Looking at his situation now Shinso sent a quick mental apology to Midoriya, as Bakugo's fist flew towards him, Shinso grabbed it while flipping Bakugo over his back. Bakugo coughed out the air in his lungs as he cursed Izuku for training with Shinso.

"Pathetic, you're almost as wortless as Deku" Shinso taunted.

"WHAT DID Y..."

"Gotcha" Shinso smiled as Bakugo's body went slack.

As Bakugo relaxed his balled up hands his nitroglycerine sweat leaked out. All at once all the sweat on his body ignited, in a defeaning bang that threw Shinso to the opposite side of the ring.

"Your quirk let's you control people's bodies, so I wasn't able to make more sweat. My ignition is a mental command however, Game Over."

Shinso had barely enough time to shield his face before he felt a wall of heat and force slam him back, the next thing he felt was his back slam into the wall of the stadium before passing into unconsciousness.

"Winner Katsuki Bakugo"

Standing victoriously in the ring was Bakugo, his sport clothes singed and torn from his full body explosion. The crowd roared with approval at the flashy display.

"Now that's what I call an explosive finish, Shinso put in a valiant effort but he couldn't stand up to Bakugo's fire-power. It's time for our final match of round one, it's the straight laced speedster of 1-A, Tenya Iida VS the living generator of lightning Denki Kaminari".

"I look forward to our coming bout Kaminari, let us show what the prestigious UA has taught us" Iida stated.

"Yeah man, let's rock this shit" Kaminari said with an eager grin.

"That language is most..." Iida started before Midnight interrupted him

"BEGIN"

"ELECTRO-WALL" Kaminari called as a steady glow of electricity surged around his body, "Give it your best shot Iida, you won't be able to get through my barrier".

"I see, You expect me to be unable to handle your electricity. You underestimate me".

Iida's engines roared to life, he ran in a circle quickly to shift his engine's gear. He blurred forward from his spin, stopping just shy of Kaminari he planted his left foot and launched a roundhouse kick at mach speed. As his foot contacted Kaminari's arms a jolt of electricity raced up his leg flinging him back. The momentum of the blow was still enough to send Kaminari stumbling away.

The teens faced off again, Iida stretched out the jolts in his legs while Kaminari shook out his arms.

"Nice one Iida, but you haven't seen anything yet".

Kaminari lunged forwards, an arc of electricity forming between his hands. Before the cord of lightning could touch Iida, he fell backwards using his thrust to spin his entire body into a backflip, lashing a kick into Kaminari's torso. As his foot broke the continuity of the lightning he was slammed back to the ground.

Kaminari flew back thudding to the ground before forcing himself up with a groan.

"Time to finish this, 1.3 Million Volts Indiscriminate shock", Iida felt a coppery tang fill his mouth as the air ionised around Kaminari. With his slightly advanced sense of perception Iida ramped his engines up to the max, "RECIPROBURST". Blue flame roared back from his exhausts as he was thrown across the arena. As Iida's boot folded Kaminari's chest the electricity surged through his body, the thrust throwing both boys clear across the line.

"DRAW, both competitors are outside the ring. Competitors have five minutes to recover before a tie-breaker."

Iida lay on the ground, his whole body shaking and convulsing, he heard Kaminari say Weh from a few meters away. He struggled with every ounce of his body to dampen the shivers, as the time ticked down he forced his legs under him. With a scream of exertion he forced himself upright, Kaminari lay on the ground, giving a double thumbs up to the sky.

"Times up, Iida can you continue?", "Yes Midnight Sensei" Iida struggled out. "Kaminari can you continue?", his eyebrows furrowed as he tried to focus, "Weh?", "Kaminari is incapacitated, Winner is Tenya Iida".

Both teens were rushed to the nurse's station to get checked over.
