Melissa was surprised by how Midoriya was able to win the race, he got first and didn't look tired, his use of his black tendrils gave her so many ideas, his gloves would need an opening for them.

Inko started to cry like a fountain. "IZUKU MY BABY!!!!!" Wow what a proud mam

After calming her down, Melissa took out a notepad and wrote down the necessary changes she needed to make for the suit. David smiled and pats her head, "Inspired?" He asked her, Melissa nodded, "Yeah, this is amazing, the way the other students used their quirks so fluidly."

Inko wiped her tears looking at Melissa and smiled, "She reminds me of Izuku when he fanboys about heroes." She commented, "Well this one likes to gush over heroes and inventions." David laughed making Melissa blush.

"PAPA!!" She shouted in english.

"The first place winner will be worth 10 Million points!" Midnight announced, Melissa watched as everyone stared at Midoriya, they were targeting him. He was the number 1… just like All Might, people wanted his spot.

"Is Izuku-nii gonna be alright?" Eri asked worriedly. Melissa looked at Eri, "He'll be fine." She assured the little girl, "He's just in a tight spot." Melissa whispered to herself.

David watched and crossed his arms, "He's getting a taste of what it's like to be on top." He told Inko who watched biting her lip.

Izuku Midoriya

I took a deep breath, closing my eyes, "Well that's how it's gonna be then." I channeled OFA 4% through my body, the electricity coursing through my body, some of the students around me backed off. My lips curled into a feral grin that could put Bakugo's to shame.

"Bring it on!" I declared, my eyes shot open, shining with power. The sports festival had just begun!

Chapter Notes

See the end of the chapter for notes

I watched everyone move to find their teammates after Midnight announced that they had 15 minutes to form our teams.

I looked around, shit I intimidated my future team mates.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. "Great job genius." I mumbled as I thought on what to do next.

"Deku! Let's team up!" Ochako came running up to me with a bright smile on her face.Oh yeah! I gave her a bright smile, "You really saved my bacon Ochako thank you!" I thanked her, not realizing that I called her Ochako.

Ochako blushed as she heard me call her by her first name, "A-any time Deku." She smiled, I turned away. "Okay who else can join us?"

Ochako's blush went down, "Iida?" She asked, I looked around and found him talking to Todoroki. "No, he's already on a team, plus, I get the feeling he wants to compete against, no that I mind."

She followed my gaze, "Oh… Mina?" I looked to see her, Kirishima and Sero talking to Bakugo, "Nope, Kirishima is out as well." She looked at the two, she pouted.

"Hmmm … Camie.." She muttered not wanting to partner up with her love rival, I perked up, Oh yeah, Camie!

I looked for her until I saw her talking to Tsu and Shoji, damn I sighed and shook my head, "THERE YOU ARE!" I turned around and was face to face with crosshair goggles, "TEAM UP WITH ME FIRST PLACE!!"

I took a step back, Mei Hatsume, the crazy inventor that I needed to get in touch with, I honestly forgot who was in team Izuku before. "Ummm do I know you?" I asked nervously.

"Mei Hatsume, from the support course and I want to use you to show off my cute babies for big industries!" Hatsume took off her goggles revealing her yellow eyes with crosshair pupils. I crossed my arms, looking at Ochako who looked weirded out by Hatsume's forwardness.

"Okay, what can you contribute to this team Ms. Hatsume?" I asked making her grin widely

"Hehe, I present to you!" She takes out a box out of nowhere and dumps them on the floor, I looked at them, I smiled, "Ms Hatsume, this is the start of a beautiful partnership." I took the jet pack and looked at Ochako… yup, this was gonna be fun.

"Okay, we have to get one more." I looked around and found Tokoyami, Izuku did make a good

choice when he picked this team, I walked over and put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey Toko, wanna ride with me into battle?" I asked.

Tokoyami stared at me before nodding. "I would be honored." He accepted. We walked back, "Okay we have our team, what's the plan Deku?" Ochako asked me. I gave her a wicked smile.

Melissa Shield

Melissa watched in interest as Izuku picked his teammates, "He has a solid team."

David nodded, "The support girl interests me, I would love to see her inventions." David spoke as he watched Mei dump her inventions.

Eri watched, "Is he gonna be okay?" She looked worried as everyone looked at her big brother in a certain way.

Inko nodded, "He will." She assured Eri. Melissa hummed, "That student's quirk allows him to create a separate entity." She analyzed Tokoyami, "The brown haired girl can remove gravity from objects and they have a support student with a jetpack." She smiled, "I like where this is going."

Izuku Midoriya

"Your 15 Minutes are UP!" Midnight announced. I stood on Ochako and Hatsume's shoulders. Tokoyami was my front horse, I had the jetpack on my back, the girls had the hover boots, just like in cannon.

"GET READY!" I let OFA surge through me, "Ready everyone?" I asked.

"Yeah!" Ochako nodded.

"Yup!" Hatsume with her goggles on, grinned.

"Of course." Tokoyami spoke as Dark Shadow emerged from his stomach

"START!!!" Midnight shouted as the timer started.

Every team started to run towards us, "So is the fate of the pursued." Tokoyami spoke, "What's the plan?" He asked me.

"Tactical retreat, we have what they want, keep them away from us with dark shadow and I'll use my whips to provide support!" I ordered as we started to move but I could see the ground turning to quicksand.

"Hatsume, Uraraka, we're taking off!" I instantly activated the jetpack, with Uraraka's quirk, we flew into the air, Dark Shadow repelled Jiro's earphone jacks.

"Good job, keep watching our blindspots." I complimented, "We're landing!" Ochako spoke up, I gave a light finger flick sending a small gust of wind to stop our descent from being too rough.

"So what do you think of my babies?" Hatsume asked with a manic grin, "Cute aren't they, just how I made them!" She giggled.

I smiled, "Your inventions are amazing Hatsume, they really help." I looked at Uraraka, "And thanks for enduring our weight Uraraka!" She looked surprised but nodded with a smile, "I'll push through!"

I blinked as I sniffed the air, peppermint… "Guys do you smell that?" I asked. Dark Shadow suddenly attacked a random team that got too close, but it passed through.. Wait. I charged OFA.

"Nice try!" I exclaimed as I used a Harlem Smash to blow away Camie's illusion mist, revealing Camie and Tsu on Shoji's back. "Huh!" Camie looked shocked but we were already running.

"Woah how did you know?" Ochako asked as we ran, "Her mist has a certain smell, I recognized it and saw that Dark Shadow's attack phased through the illusion." I explained. I needed to add that to the Class A notebook.

I had a notebook for people and their quirks, it became a habit as I had the knowledge…. Also a nuisance..

Flashback

I was on my desk as Eri napped on my bed, I had my headphones on listening to Maroon 5, Maps, I was doing some homework for English.

My mind wandered to my classmates, if I helped Kirishima reach his Unbreakable mode before he was meant to, how could he improve even more. Todoroki needed to learn how to control his fire quirk, but that's something to think about after the festival.

I continued this train of thought until I noticed that my hand was sore.

Looking down I froze as I had a notebook out, writing down EVERYTHING about my classmates, their quirks, their strengths, weaknesses, possible new moves, stuff that I shouldn't know and even theories.

I flipped through it, ALL OF MY CLASSMATES HAD ENTRIES HERE! I shut the book and wrote down, Class A on the cover. I needed to buy a safe, information is power and the knowledge I had could cause problems.

… wait, why were there more notebooks on the side…

Villains, Pros, Class B… oh….

This was gonna be an issue…

Flashback End

I shook my head to focus on the battle, I let black whip loose as it repelled Tsu's long tongue. "NOPE!" I immediately lifted us into the air to avoid the other teams, "Okay now." I was cut off by the sound of explosives.

"DEKUI!!" Ochako warned and I let black whip loose before Dark Shadow could do anything, hitting Bakugo who was propelling towards us with his explosions.

"GAH!" He started to fall but Sero caught him with his tape. "Okay, we need to be careful, we're not safe in the air or on the ground." We landed again, I smiled, we're gonna-

"I'll be taking that." I looked up front to see Todoroki with his team giving me a glare… Damn you canon.

I glared, "Come and get it." I challenged him, okay plan plan plan… what was his plan in cannon. Shock and Freeze!

I saw them coming towards us, "What's the plan?" Tokoyami asked, "We can't fly, Bakugo will catch us." Ochako commented, "Baby needs a few seconds to recharge even if we wanted to." Hatsume commented. Damn we can't fly.

I looked at Kaminari, did he remember…. Team Todoroki started to run towards us. I looked at Tokoyami. "Toko, keep Dark Shadow in for a bit." My team looked at me, "Do you have a plan?" He asked, "An idea, just bear with me." I ordered.

Kaminari let out a huge blast of electricity right after Momo made the insulation sheet. NOW! I activated Full Cowling, the electricity stuck me, DAMN!! I gritted my teeth, this was more power than that time, I needed to push through the pain, I pulled the surrounding electricity into my body, I grunted as my body shook.

Todoroki looked shocked but growled as he thrust his pole down trying to freeze us, I crossed my arms and swung my arms downwards, arcs of electricity striking the ice before it could reach us.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING UNNATURAL. IZUKU MIDORIYA ABSORBED AND USED TEAM TODOROKI'S LIGHTNING!!" Present Mic freaked out as the crowd cheered.

I leaned to the side, Ochako tried to put her hand on my side to help but yelped as the electricity shocked her. "Are you okay Deku?!" She asked, I nodded, "Yeah." I shut off Full Cowling and stared at Todoroki.

Kaminari looked shocked, "Did you know he could do this?" Momo asked Kaminari, "I did but I didn't think he'd do it with 1.3 million volts!" Kaminari responded. Todoroki clenched his fist, damn now they can't trap them.

"I have an idea but we will only have one shot." Iida spoke, "Get ready." Todoroki looked at Iida then at Midoriya who was recovering. He then looked to the stands to stare at his father. "Alright." Todoroki held on tight to Iida.

I tried the jetpack, it sparked with electricity. "Umm baby needs more adjustments." Hatsume looked at it, "The electric shock shorted it out, sorry." I apologized.

"That was quite the risk." Tokoyami spoke up, "Worth the risk." I said, "Kaminari would have rendered Dark Shadow useless if it wasn't for you, thank you." Tokoyami thanked me.

I smiled, "Your welcome." I said and looked at Todoroki and around us, too many people close together, if we wanted to win we would need to wait out the time, I looked at the scoreboard, we were first.

Monoma was second, Tetsutetsu was 3rd, Kendo was 4th, Todoroki was 5th and Bakugo had no points, okay….

I looked back to Todoroki who was now coming towards us at high speeds. "Midoriya!" Tokoyami shouted but it was too late, team Todoroki passed us with Todoroki snatching the headband from my head.

"TEAM TODOROKI STOLE THE HEADBAND, THEIR IN 1ST PLACE!" Mic announced.

"Got it!" Todoroki looked at the headband and was surprised to see that it was tied to a cord, "What?" But the headband was ripped away from his hands and back into mine.

"IN A SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS, TEAM MIDORIYA REGAINED THEIR

HEADBANDS!" I smirked, not this time.

Flashback

I took the grappling belt from the pile of inventions and removed my jacket, Ochako blushed as she saw me with a white sleeveless shirt, Hatsume hummed, "Muscular indeed~" She giggled, I paid no attention to it as I put the belt on and pulled on a cable.

"Hatsume, can you tie the headband to this?" Tokoyami hummed, "Good idea Midoriya."

"Can do!" Hatsume got to work.

"This can only work once, so we need to be very careful, if we reveal this too soon, they will try and cut the cord as soon as they have the headband." I explained. Ochako nodded, "Okay, what do we do if our trick is revealed?" She asked.

"What we have to do, survive." I replied.

Flashback End

I tied the headband back on my head, "Okay now we just need to wait it out." Iida was out since he used the Recipro Burst, we had the advantage.

"Defence mode Tokoyami!" I ordered as Dark Shadow came out ready to fight. "1 MINUTE!" Mic screamed, I narrowed my eyes as Todoroki's team ran towards us.

"Kaminari!" Todoroki screamed as Kaminari shot a bolt of lightning towards us, damn! Dark Shadow blocks the attack screeching in pain. I let out blackwhip and cracked in front of us to stop the team in their place.

Todoroki gritted his teeth, out of desperation, his left side started to ignite.

"HAND IT OVER DEKU!" I heard Bakugo blast his way towards us, just a little longer!

I smirked, 3..2...1… "TIMES UP!!!" Bakugo fell on his face, Todoroki stopped.

I got off and Uraraka jumped up and down in glee. "WE DID IT DEKU!!" She exclaimed.

I smiled at her, I looked at Hatsume who was working on her jetpack… which she took from my back without me noticing, typical Hatsume.

"Thanks for the assist Tokoyami." I turned to the last member of my team, "It was my pleasure Midoriya." Tokoyami nodded, "Yeah!" Dark Shadow cheered.

"IN FIRST PLACE IS TEAM MIDORIYA!" Present Mic announced. I could have sworn the box where my mom and Eri were was starting to flood… must be mom.

"Second place is team Bakugo!" I could see Bakugo punching the ground out of anger. He really needs to learn how to take a loss.

"Third place is… Team Shinso! Where did they come from?" I found Shinso walking away from Ojiro and the other 2 students Shinso used his brainwashing on… We locked eyes and he smirked, I returned it with a narrowed stare.

"In fourth place is Team Todoroki!" … wow Momo and Iida looked really down, Kaminari's brain was fried and Todoroki… he looked at his hand and was shaking, he used his fire to get the

headband… Endeavour won't like the fact that his son lost to me.

"We will proceed to the afternoon portion after an hour lunch break!" Mic said. "See you then!! Hey Eraser wanna grab some food?" "No." Aizawa replied.

Todoroki walked up to me, "We need to talk." I wanted to go see my mom and Eri but… I sighed, "Lead the way." We walked to a place where there was no one around, the emergency exit.

We stood there and Todoroki stared at me with his cold eyes, I rolled my eyes. "Are you gonna just stare at me?" I asked, "Or should I just leave?"

"... You outsmarted me, made me resort to breaking my pledge." He glared. "Your quirk is very strong, no one else notices but I could tell there's a similarity between you and All Might." Ohhhh boy… here it comes.

"So tell me, are you All Might's secret love child?" He asked with a straight face.

There was silence, my face twitching, trying so hard to not laugh, why… why is it always funny! I burst out laughing, "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed for a good 2 minutes before calming down, "Ohhh boy, that was hilarious Todoroki." I wiped the tear from my eye.

"That wasn't a joke." He glared, "I know it wasn't and No, I'm not the son of All Might, I just have a similar quirk." I explained as I calmed my breathing.

"Even so, you and him are related somehow. If you're aware, my father is the number 2 hero Endevour. With those two facts it gives me more reason to beat you." He clenched his fist.

He went on about his past, quirk marriage. All of that..

I listened, I already knew this and I knew there was more to the story… I just wish I could say.

"I will rise to the top without using his quirk, I will deny him everything." He finished.

I sighed, "Okay… One, you're an idiot." He looked surprised by my words, "Two, If you wanted to deny him you should have picked a different career path." I crossed my arms, I understood his pain, where he was coming from but I wasn't gonna sugar coat this.

"And three, What you said pissed me off." My expression was one of controlled anger. "I'm sorry you had to go through something like that, I can only give my sympathy but you are using HALF your power to win a competition."

"All to spite your father, your goal is skewed." I said, "If you're not gonna give it your all here, I suggest you forfeit." I started to walk out. "I made a promise to win, and I intend to keep it, I want to show the world that there are heroes that they can rely on, that they can trust with their lives. If you want to become a hero with half your power, you'll fail."

I walked back to the cafeteria, leaving Todoroki to his thoughts. Was I too harsh, yes, but he needed to get it out of his head that denying your father wasn't a goal of being a hero.

I made it and saw my mom coming over with Eri and Melissa was with them.

"Hey mom." I greeted with a hug. "Oh you were so amazing out there, I'm so proud of you!!" Mom hugged me with all the strength she could muster. I pulled away and smiled at Eri. "Hey, hope you're enjoying the festival." I picked her up and she nodded. "You're winning." She gave me a small smile.

I grinned, just a little closer, "Well I made a promise didn't I?" I poked her nose. "Ehem." I looked at Melissa who smiled, "It's nice to finally meet you Izuku Midoriya."

I put Eri down, "And you too Melissa Shield." I spoke in English. She looked surprised, "How did you know?" She replied in English. I switched back to Japanese. "I saw you with David Shield in the booth as I looked for my mom and Eri, I just put the pieces together."

Melissa hummed, "Strong, smart and perceptive." She crossed her arms, "I look forward to working with you more when I transfer here." Now I was surprised.

"Transfer?" I asked, "Yeah, when I got the remains of the suit I made for you, I realized that working far from each other is inefficient." She explained, "I wanted to see what UA had to offer, that's why I'm here, and I have to say, I'm not disappointed."

"Wow… thanks." I blushed, "Let's get something to eat." Inko interjected with a smile. "Yeah, I'm starving." We got a table and ate, Melissa was gonna be studying here in UA, another asset, maybe with her help I can help my friends.

Soon it was time to return to the field and what I saw…

"What are they doing?" I stepped into the field and saw the girls in cheerleading costumes… I blushed and covered my nose to stop the incoming nosebleed.

"Oh hey Deku." Ochako waved at me. "So uhh that business student lied about the other girls having to wear these outfits?" She asked blushing. "What business student?" I asked confused and then my eys widened Wait… I narrowed my eyes. "Was he short and had balls for hair and purple?"

The girls nodded, Mineta… I was gonna punish him for taking advantage of my classmates later. "You girls look very nice though." I complimented, Ochako blushed harder and smiled at me. "Really?" I nodded, "Really."

"What about me?" Camie asked, coming over… shit she was hot, the outfit was showing a lot of skin.

"Umm." I blushed harder. "Oh and me!" Mina smiled lewdly… DAMN IT WHY WERE MY CLASSMATES SO HOT!

I looked away, "You might want to change before anything else." I mumbled, "Aww don't you like the show?" Camie asked before leaning in, "Or maybe you want to be the only one to see this~" She whispered.

"CAMIE!" Jiro screeched. "Let's go." Momo sighed. The girls left making me sigh a breath of relief

"WHAT THE HELL COME BACK!!" I glared at the purple menace. "You were the one who told them to wear that?" I asked, making him freeze and look at me. "Uhh." I grabbed the back of his gym uniform, "I'm gonna take that as a yes."

I dragged him to the business course students. "Does this belong to you?" I asked, keeping the anger from seeping through.

One of them saw me and groaned, "So you were the one who did that, have you no shame?" The male student sighed, "Sorry about him, we can't control him." I kicked him over to them, "Keep him on a leash or else I'm reporting." I said.

"You're just protecting your harem, you selfish-" He stopped as I glared at him. "Understood." The student nodded not saying anything about me kicking his classmate.

When I got back the girls were in their gym uniforms, Momo looked distraught. I walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "Next time, don't listen to perverts like that, come to me if something like that happens again." Momo blushed and nodded, "Thank you Midoriya." She said.

"NOW THEN, ONTO THE FINAL EVENT!" Midnight announced. "Between the 16 member of the four winning teams… WE'LL HAVE A FORMAL TOURNAMENT!!"

I gulped, this was it. "A series of one on one battles!" Midnight declared and took out a box with the word lots on them, "The matchups will be decided by drawing lots, once that is settled, we'll move onto the festivities and then the tournament itself."

I hummed, would I be against Shinso or someone else? Then Ojiro raised his hand. "Excuse me, I'd like to drop out.."

Oh… damn I forgot… I could have done something to prevent this… Sorry Ojiro..

As the others dropped out, I couldn't help but stare at Shinso, he didn't even care did he?

Once we drew the lots, the matchups were shown on the board. It was the same as before.

Ochako against Bakugo.. I really hated that fight. I sighed as Shinso walked up to me, "Izuku Midoriya was it?" He asked. I looked at him, Ojiro's tail covered my mouth. "Don't speak to him, Shinso simply walked away.

I looked at Ojiro, "Come on we need to talk." I decided to follow him, I knew what to do, just scared of Shinso saying something he might regret.

I stood in the hall just waiting to be called, I just needed to beat Shinso and not lose my temper. Easier said than done…

"Ah Young Midoriya, glad I caught you." I turned around to see All Might in his true form, walking towards me.

"Hey All Might." I turned to face him. "You've been doing great, first place for every event." He gave me a thumb up, "I made a promise, I also really want to win this." I said rubbing the back of my head,

"There's nothing wrong with wanting to win, just do your best and you'll be fine." All Might put a hand on my head. I gave him a warm smile.

"Thanks All Might." I thanked my mentor, "For everything."

He ruffled my hair, "I gave you the tools to make it here, you did all the hard work." He said, well that was true. "So no issues with black whip?" He asked, I shook my head.

"No, I'm able to use it freely, I just need to keep working if I want to use 100% of One for All without issues." I explained as I looked at the exit to the arena.

"If you feel nervous." I turned to see All Might buffing up giving me his signature smile. "Just handle it by smiling." I gave him a smile of my own. "Right." The intercom went on, that's my que.

"Good luck." I smiled and walked out into the arena.

"From the hero course! He has taken first in all the events, he is unstoppable! HE IS IZUKU MIDORIYA!!" The crowd cheered as me and Shinso walked to the arena.

"VERSUS…. Sorry this guy hasn't done anything to stand out yet, From General Studies, It's Hitoshi Shinso!!"

We stood on opposite ends of the arena, he gave me a blank stare as I gave him a curious look.

Time for the 3rd event to start.

Chapter End Notes

Melissa is joining the Hero Academia! I have plans for the story! But first!!!!

HERO NAMES!!

I was thinking on Izuku's hero name, should I keep the name as Deku or maybe give him a new name? Same with Aoyama and Shoto, I honestly find their names... lackluster, no offense but Can't stop Twinkling? No just no. Suggestions are welcome!

Chapter 11

Chapter Summary

Round 3 Part 1!

Chapter Notes

See the end of the chapter for notes

I stared at Shinso, he hasn't heeded my advice on doing some training, he relies too much on his quirk, I can beat him since I'm stronger, but I do need to be careful, I couldn't respond to his taunts.

Midnight started the match, the crowd was quiet, waiting for us to make a move. "So most of your class made it to the finals, they're no such pushovers after all." Shinso commented, I felt my brow twitch, this guy…

"Nothing, huh so that monkey told you about my quirk." Shinso smirked, "Well at least he was useful to you as he dropped out." I gritted my teeth as I started to walk towards him, I needed to end this.

"You know, I saw you and that brat with the horn." I stopped dead in my tracks. He better not. "She's not that cute." OH HELL NO!!

"YOU -" My mind blanked. DAMN!

"I win, now turn around and walk out of the arena." Shinso ordered me, my body robotically moved, it turned and started to walk to the edge.

"THAT ASS!!" Jiro screeched, "Whoa Jiro what's got you so mad?" Kaminari asked, "HE JUST INSULTED ERI!" Everyone in class A met the little girl. They were attached to her and hearing Jiro's words, everyone, minus Bakugo and Todoroki had one thought.

'He's chosen death.'

I continued to walk, I couldn't control my body, my mind was foggy, I should have kept my emotions in check… Okay easier said than done.

"Wow I thought you wouldn't fall for the same trick twice but, considering it's because he insulted Eri, I guess that's fair." A familiar voice echoed in my head.

"Nana?" I asked mentally, "Yup, since Shinso brainwashed you, I am able to speak to you, don't ask how, but I can also do this!"

I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. I blinked and shook my head, I could move!

"What!?" I turned around and glared, Shinso glared back, "How did you do that, answer me!" I ran towards him, I didn't even need Full Cowling for this.

I drove my fist into his gut, he almost lost his lunch. "Should have taken my advice." I whispered as he tried to retaliate but I stopped his fist, I laid another punch on his cheek.

He stumbled back and I walked up to him, "Sorry about this." I pushed him off the white line, "Shinso is out of bounds! Izuku Midoriya is the winner!" The crowd cheered. I ignored them as I offered Shinso my hand.

He glared at me and got up. "I don't need your sympathy." He spoke with venom in his voice. "... really are you pissed at me for winning?" I asked as he walked away, I followed him.

"You beat me, you didn't even need your quirk." We entered the hall, "Because I trained to fight, you on the other hand rely on your quirk too much." I told him.

Shinso turned to me, glaring, "What does that have to do with it?" He asked, "Isn't the hero course about fancy heroic quirks?" I sighed and rubbed my face, this boy.

"No, it's about training to save people, sure, sometimes quirks are a factor but if you don't have the muscle to back it up you won't get anywhere. Also, there is no such thing as an evil quirk, only people who use it for evil." I explained. "So what do you suggest?" Shinso crossed his arms.

I smiled, "Train, do exercise, find different ways of activating your quirk, taunts are good but don't go overboard." I then punched him hard in the stomach making fall to his knees, "Why…" He asked weakly.

"Don't ever insult my little sister ever again, or else." I threatened, he nodded, "Clear.." I helped him to Recovery Girl's office and went to where my class was sitting.

"Hey." I smiled, "Hey good work on beating that Aizawa look alike." Jiro gave me a thumbs up. "OH SHIT HE DOES LOOK LIKE MR. AIZAWA." Mina screamed out laughing, Kaminari joined her.

I laughed also. "So who's fighting next?" I asked Uraraka and Camie, "It's Todoroki and Sero." Camie replied, I looked at the arena, oh no…

I took the ones who were up front and moved them to the back. "Umm why do you want us to move here?" Uraraka asked.

"Wait for it." I sat down, "START!" I watched as Sero taped Todoroki, swinging him and then….SHING!!!!!

Instantly half of the stadium was covered in ice, everyone was leaning back. Geez.. He was pissed.

I looked at Todoroki and frowned, things were gonna be difficult with him, but first I had to watch the other students, next was Kaminari and Ibara.

This was bound to be interesting, with Kaminari's new tricks, he probably won't be as easily defeated.

I watched Ibara and Present Mic's interaction and sighed, "A little much Mic..." I mumbled.

"START!!" Midnight started the match.

Kaminari took a deep breath and let the electricity flow through him. He shot a bolt of lightning at Ibara who blocked with her vines.

He shot another one again but yelped as his leg was grabbed by one of her vines and he was thrown out of the arena.

I sweat dropped at that, that was anticlimactic.. he needed more practice.

The next match was Hatsume vs Iida..

I watched with an amused smile, Hatsume presenting her inventions, using Iida as a mannequin. I bet Melissa is liking this.

Melissa looked at the match with a blank face, on one hand she liked the inventions that Hatsume was presenting.. But was this really the best time? David laughed next to her. "Well she's really making a splash."

"Weird." Eri whispered.

I chuckled as Mei forfeit and walked out with the crowd booing at her.

I rubbed the back of my neck. Typical Hatsume…

Next was Ashido and Aoyama, I saw Ochako get up and walk to the prep room, I looked at her as she left, I frowned, the match went on as I expected, Mina won with her athletics, needed to help her get stronger also, just needed to figure out how to do so.

I watched Momo's battle with Tokoyami and he bested her easily.

I remembered that Momo started to have confidence issues after this! I got up and immediately ran to meet her.

I ran down the stairs and I stopped as I heard light sniffling.

I slowly turned the corner to see Momo crouching against the wall. This must have hit her hard. I walked over. "Hey." I greeted as she looked up at me and quickly wiped her tears.

"Ah Midoriya, what are you doing here?" She asked, I ignored her question. "You don't have to act, I can tell that you're devastated about the match." I spoke. Momo flinched and looked down.

I crouched next to her. "Come on, talk to me." I nudged her, her eyes watered once more. "Do.. I deserve to be here?" She asked me.

I frowned, "Of course you do." I told her, "You're one of the best students in our class." I praised her, "Intelligence wise!" She snapped at me, "When it comes to power I'm useless!!" She cried.

I bit my lip, "That's not true." I denied. "The match was proof.." She sniffed.

I took a deep breath. "Momo." I spoke softly, "When it comes down to it, which is better, brawn or the brains?" I asked her. Momo looked at me, her eyes puffy, wiping her nose she answered. "Brawn.."

I shook my head. "No, the brains, when I fight, I don't just rely on my quirk," I explain, "Sure I have a super strength quirk but what good is that when I don't have the smarts to use it, in its core, brawn is nothing without the brain to guide it." I poked her forehead.

"You have the brains, you can make plans and create the tools to make those plans a reality." I continued.

"But Tokoyami beat me.." Momo said, "Because you were slow." I replied, I couldn't sugar coat

this, she needed to know. "You were slow on strategizing, you were slow in your creation." I listed out as she flinched.

"You lost. Okay we have that out of the way." I got up and walked in front of her. "So what are you gonna do about it?" I asked, Momo looked up at me. "You can sit here and cry, think about your loss or." I offered her my hand. "You can rise above it, you can be faster, and train to cover your flaws ." I smiled, "Loss is a part of life, if there was no loss, the world wouldn't be as it is today."

Momo stared at my hand for a few moments, I was scared that I made it worse but she took my hand and got up, a wobbly smile forming on her face, "Your right, I can learn, I can be better." She declared. I smiled wider, "That's the spirit!" Mission accomplished!

… Ochako! "Umm I have somewhere to be Momo, sorry!" I instantly ran off to find the prep room.

Momo watched me leave with a hand over her heart, it was beating wildly, "Izuku.." She whispered.

I hope I got through to her, things like that needed time but hopefully I sped it up.

I found the room and entered it. I saw Iida talking to Ochako. "Oh hi Iida, sorry about Hatsume." I apologized. "It's fine, it's not your fault." Iida sulked.

Ochako looked at me confused. "Deku, shouldn't you be watching the matches?" She asked, "Well the two matches have already ended, Mina beat Aoyama, Tokoyami beat Momo, the next one is Kirishima and Tetsutetsu. But I think it'll take a while." I explained.

I looked at Ochako, "Nervous about going against Bakugo?" I asked, she looked down and slowly nodded.

"I can't imagine Bakugo going all out on a female opponent." Iida said. "Iida, this is Bakugo we're talking about, he won't go soft with her." I interjected.

Ochako gulped and bit her lip. "Uraraka, I have strategies on how to beat him…" I spoke, "But.. I get the feeling that you don't want that." I said, Iida looked surprised, Ochako looked up at me just as surprised.

I laughed, "I could tell that something was up with you, you're taking this very seriously." Ochako blushed, "Well, it is Bakugo.." She commented, "Thanks for the offer but as you said, I won't take it." She got up.

"In the cavalry battle, I was putting my faith in you, I want to be able to fight on my own, to stand on my own." She walked up to me and gave me a warm smile. "Thanks for supporting me but I need to do this myself." I couldn't help but smile back at her.

"I can understand that." I put a hand on her shoulder, "Win or lose, it doesn't matter, you did your best and that's what we're here to do, give it our all." She nodded. "Right."

Iida looked on awkwardly and gave a cough, Ochako then blushed and pushed right past me. "I gotta go wish me luck!" She ran out, her face was hot as she put a hand on her shoulder smiling.

I blinked, "Well let's get going then, I don't wanna miss this." I said to Iida as we walked back to the rest of the class.

I sat down and watched as Ochako and Bakugo walked into the arena. I never liked watching this.

Ochako Uraraka

Ochako took a deep breath as Present Mic shouted their introductions, the one about her filling her up with a bit of confidence. Bakugo stared at her with heated eyes.

"You're the floaty one right, round face?" Her face scrunched up at the nickname, "If you're gonna back down then do it now, giving up halfway won't do anything."

Midnight cracked her whip. "START!" Ochako started to run towards him, her body low with her arms wide, "Not gonna happen!" She screamed, Bakugo swung his right arm as she tried to dodge but was too slow, the blast sent her back.

She ran again, 'Just need to touch him once!' Ochako thought as she tried to touch him again but was once again blasted away.

Inko gasped as Katsuki was going all out on her, she held Eri close who whimpered at the sight, she covered Eri's eyes. "So ruthless."

Melissa watched as Bakugo blasted Ochako over and over, she saw Ochako's plan and was surprised by how far she was willing to go.

David was reminded of Toshinori's determination when they worked in Ameirca. He was also surprised by how merciless the blond boy was.

Izuku Midoriya

I watched biting my lip, "Man he's not holding back." Kaminari said, Jiro nodded. "Yeah."

I sighed and looked up, Camie tore her eyes from the battle to look at me, confusion was forming on her face. "What are you looking at?" She asked me.

I pointed up, Camie looked up and gasped, everyone did the same, now it was clear, I smiled, "Atta girl." I whispered in English.

Ochako Uraraka

Ochako was panting, she was tired, her body ached, she fought her hardest and not a scratch on him, she wouldn't give up!

She stood up, "Thank you Bakugo.." She had one more ace. "Thank you for not dropping your guard!" She put her finger tips together.

"Meteor storm!" Present Mic shouted, Ochako ran towards Bakugo, hopefully as he was distracted with her attack, she could get a hit in!

But Bakugo let out a huge blast, destroying all the debris falling and the shock wave sent her back again.

She fell on her stomach and slowly got up, "No.." She glared at Bakugo who looked at her with something she hasn't seen before. "Come on URARAKA!"

He acknowledged her.. NO NOT YET. In her body, pink sparks started to manifest, her hand

slowly started to glow pink.

I blinked as I felt something, I looked for the source and saw Ochako's body sparking pink lightning, I withheld a gasp. I could feel a small part of One for All steering inside her.

But when.. The cavalry battle! When she tried to touch me after I redirected Kaminari's blast, some of it must've seeped into her, but I don't feel anything missing. I needed to talk to All Might about this.

Ochako felt stronger, she raised her arm, Bakugo suddenly found herself floating, "WHAT THE HELL?" He screamed as he waved his arms around.

Ochako felt her stomach getting upset, she was past her limit. "No.." She fell face first, passing out. Bakugo fell back to the ground face first. He got up and stared at her.

"Ochako Uraraka is no longer able to continue, the winner is Katsuki Bakugo!" Midnight announced.

I got up and immediately went to Recovery Girl's office to check on her.

Okay, Uraraka's quirk evolved, she couldn't control gravity from a distance, now she can… OFA was a stockpiling quirk, it stockpiled power, when she touched me as I was electrified, some of the power must've transferred to her, not a lot but enough to boost her quirk to evolving..

Was it permanent? "Deku!" I stopped and looked to the side to see Bakugo coming towards me, "You gave her that plan didn't you?" He asked, I narrowed my eyes. "No I didn't, she did that all on her own." I spoke as I started to make my way to the nurse's office.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to check on my friend." I said leaving him to his thoughts.

I found Uraraka sitting down, "Oh hey Deku." She waved with a weak smile. "I guess I lost." She rubbed the back of her head.

I knew she was hiding her disappointment, I walked over and sat across from her, "You know, I understand that you don't want to show your frustration." I looked at her seriously.

Ochako blinked, "What are you talking about." She bit her lip, I sighed, I reached over and held her hand, "You didn't disappoint me." I said. She stared at me before whispering, "Your not…?" She asked.

I shook my head, "I'm actually proud of you and I bet that your parents are proud also." I smiled as she started to tear up.

"You may have lost but you fought tooth and nail, that is something that shows who you are, people will want someone like that interning under them." I squeezed her hand. "If it helps you feel any better, I'll kick Bakugo's ass for you in retaliation." I winked.

She laughed as she wiped her tears. "Deku you don't have to promise that." I got up, letting go of her hand.

"I made a promise to win today, I intend to keep it, I can make the same promise to you." I heard my name being called. "Well I better go." I said as I walked to the door. "Sorry I wasted your time!" Ochako tried to apologize. "It's okay, I wanted to talk to you before anything else." I gave her a smile and walked out.

I walked down the hall. I couldn't stop the smile on my face, that girl was gonna be big.

I was stopped by Endeavour who stepped in front of me. "There you are." He spoke, his voice deep and intimidating.

I looked at him, "What can I do for you Endeavour?" I asked as I kept my cool, I didn't have much against him… well future him, this him was a jerk.

"I saw what you did out there, those black tendrils and super strength, that strength that could be close to All Might's." The number 2 hero spoke.

I raised an eyebrow. "And what does that have to do with anything?" I asked.

Endeavour's gaze hardened, "My son Shoto, has a duty to surpass All Might." He said, "Your match with him will be a great stepping stone, so give it your all, put up a good fight." I felt anger build up inside me.

He started to walk past me, "That's all I have to say, sorry for bothering you."I unconsciously activated Full Cowling, Endeavour stopped to look at me, my body covered in teal lightning,

"I'm not All Might." I spoke in an angered tone, "Of course you aren't-" "And Todoroki isn't you." I finished, our gazes met, he was surprised by how much hatred I was radiating. "So don't push your ideals onto him, let him pick his own path, you're only making him hate you." I walked away without another word.

I deactivated FC, I sure hoped I didn't make an enemy of the number 2 hero.

I walked out of the hall and towards the stage, this was it, my battle with Todoroki, I had a mission, a goal, help Todoroki, but I also had a promise to win. I was gonna do both.

Todoroki glared at me from across the arena, my stare unwavered. "Are you ready!!" Midnight asked, "Yes." I answered, Todoroki nodded.

"MIDORIYA VERSUS TODOROKI!!!" Mic announced, the tension was high, I needed a strategy that didn't involve breaking my fingers.

"START!!!!!" Midnight cracked her whip!

Todoroki sent a wave of ice at me.

Chapter End Notes

Okay, yes I understand that this may seem rushed, but I was doing this from my phone and didn't have much to show about the canon matches, Kaminari needs more practice, Momo got help with her confidence issues and OCHAKO'S QUIRK EVOLVED

I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Chapter 12

Chapter Summary

The last round!

Chapter Notes

See the end of the chapter for notes

Everyone watched as an iceberg covered the other half of the arena, Eri whimpered worried about her big brother being covered in ice, Inko gasped as she covered her mouth.

Todoroki stared at the ice and was sure victory was his. But his thoughts were interrupted by a whistle.

Everyone looked at the top of the iceberg and I was crouching on one of the spikes, I was giving him a dull stare, "Is that all you got?" I asked.

"Whoa how did he get up there?" Mic asked in shock, "He jumped the last second, we were too focused on the ice to notice." Aizawa answered dully.

Todoroki gritted his teeth as he sent another wave of ice over the iceberg, I glared and jumped again, using black whip to swing around, still staying in the arena, I landed on the spikes of the newly made ice.

"I can do this all day." I called, I didn't want to do this but I had to push him to use his fire. Todoroki glared and looked to the stands to his father, who's expression was one of anger.

I growled and pushed off the spike towards my opponent. "WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING TODOROKI?!" I yelled as I prepared a kick. His attention shifted back to me and he skated out of the way, I landed with a hard crash!

I groaned and looked around, the arena was almost covered, I needed to fix that. I tapped into OFA and turned it up to Overdrive. "Black Whip: Rampage!" I screamed as black whips shot out of my hands and started to destroy the ice, Todoroki dodged the lashing whips and I pulled them back as soon as the arena was clear again.

I spread my arms, "I'm still waiting Todoroki." I announced as he once again sent a wave of ice. I let out Black Whip again, it destroyed the ice, I felt my body straining but not as bad as before, my body was getting used to the percentage.

Todoroki shivered as he was getting cold, "What's wrong, getting too cold?" I asked as I walked closer, making him send another wave of ice, but it was smaller than the others, he was reaching his limits.

I shot out black whip, breaking the ice again. I kept walking towards him.

Ochako Uraraka

Ochako was surprised by how Deku seemed unfazed by Todoroki's attacks, he was even taunting

him, if Deku spreading his arms was any implication, now he was blowing away those waves of ice like it was nothing.

"What's he trying to do?" Camie asked just as amazed. "Don't know but this is so manly." Kirishima said in awe.

Bakugo watched and growled, Deku… He was acting so smug, he couldn't wait to put him in his place.

Ochako watched, Todoroki's quirk was ice and fire, was Deku trying to make him use his fire? "Don't do anything stupid please." Ochako whispered.

Momo gulped feeling worried about her new crush, he was so confident but was playing a dangerous game, "Please be okay." She whispered.

Izuku Midoriya

I growled as Todoroki looked at Endeavour again, "HE'S NOT YOUR OPPONENT, FOCUS!" I screamed as I ran towards him and was able to land a blow across his cheek, "MIDORIYA DELIVERED THE FIRST BLOW!" Mic Screamed, the crowd cheered as I pulled him from the edge and threw him to the middle, "Stop thinking about him, It's just me and you!" I said angrily.

Todoroki growled and send another wave, this time I jumped over it and pushed off the spikes, the ice slowed his reaction as I punched him in the stomach

He stumbled and tried to attack me but I jumped back before he could do anything, "Your shivering, you could heat yourself up if you used your fire." I prodded as I cleared the ice behind me with a wave of black whip.

Todoroki got angry. "Did he put you up to this?" He asked, "No, he didn't, I just see that you are still not giving it your all!" I exclaimed.

I pointed at myself, "Your tricks may have worked for others but you haven't laid a scratch on me yet!" I screamed.

"Why are you going so far…" Todoroki asked as he tried to send another wave of ice at me, but it stumbled as he was getting close to freezing over, not good.

I frowned, "Because I know that you're hurting, I can tell, I don't want to be a hero to beat the bad guys, I want to be a hero to save people." I said. Todoroki's eyes widened as he heard my words.

"So what kind of hero do you want to be?" I asked, I could see the look in his eyes and in a flash, Todoroki's left side was set aflame. I shielded my eyes and smirked. Finally!

"I'll be a hero." Todoroki said with a wild smile on his face, the ice covering his body was melting, this was great! But how was I gonna counter attack… uh oh.

I could hear Endeavor's shouting at his son, I ignored it as I moved my hand away from my eyes.

"You're crazy for helping your enemy." Todoroki said, I laughed, "You're not an enemy Todoroki!" I charged OFA to 40%

He then raised his arm ready to fire, I gritted my teeth pushing it to 50%.

'Midoriya… thank you.' Todoroki let loose a huge wave of ice, I jumped into the air again,

dodging the sea of frost. I gasped as Todoroki blasted a strong torrent of fire at me, "Harlem Smash!" I clapped my hands together, blowing the flames back and enveloping Todoroki.

I landed and dashed towards him, I blew past the steam and smiled at his surprised look, "You welcome." I mouthed as I punched him in the stomach sending him flying through his newly made barrier into the wall.

I pant as I winced in pain, I looked down, yup, I needed to see Recovery Girl.

"TODOROKI IS OUT OF BOUNDS, MIDORIYA IS THE WINNER!" The crowd went wild at Midnight's announcement.

Weird, they didn't try to stop us this time.. Was it because of me not breaking my bones?

I limped over to Todoroki and saw him on the floor, unconscious, his shirt was burnt off, I used my good arm and grabbed his arm, helped him up.

"Lets go." I grunted as I took him to the nurses office.

We entered and I flinched at Recovery girl's glare. "Umm." I smiled sheepishly and yelped as she hit my shin with her cane.

"Sit down on the bed." She ordered, I sat down and let her heal any wounds I had. "You're lucky that you have a good hold of your quirk but next time don't push it for something like this!" She scolded.

I apologized as I got up stumbling, "Is he gonna be okay?" I asked her, looking at the unconscious Todoroki.

RG waved me off, "He'll be fine after some rest, just some bruising." She walked to attend to him.

I left through the door and was surprised to see all of my classmates running my direction. "MIDORIYA!!" They stopped in front of me.

"Dude that was crazy!" Kaminari exclaimed, "You and Todo really destroyed the stage, Cementoss is fixing it so it'll be a while." Camie explained.

I blushed in embarrassment, "Ehh I may have gotten carried away." I chuckled, rubbing the back of my head.

"No kidding bro, you were going at Todoroki like a pro, hopping around." Kirishima smirked, "Very manly!" I smiled bumping fists with the redhead.

"So how is he?" Sero asked, "He's unconscious, Recovery Girl is looking over him." I replied as we all walked back to the seating area.

Soon, it was time for Kirishima vs Bakugo. I was gonna go against Iida and I had a viable strategy already but what was on my mind was Stain… I couldn't do anything to help Tensei, Iida's brother.

I swallowed the lump on my throat, Bakugo won and glared right at me, but I paid him no mind.

I got up as did Iida and we went to our respective rooms, I passed a hall and saw Shoto walking away from his father, who looked really displeased, I continued walking.

I was useless… I couldn't help the people I KNEW needed it. I sighed, no.. I needed to focus…
