(Da-dara-dara-da-da Dara-da-da, dara-da-da Da-dara-dara-da-da Dara-da-da, dara-da-da-ra)
It then transition-fades into Hajin and Miyoung in his place watching over Mustafu as the camera circles around them before zooming away and showing the audience the entirety of the city as the title card "Spider-Man: A MHA Story" pans into view.
(Taga sode ni saku genka)

(Korogaru you ni kaze wo kitte)
The two went into the cafeteria and high-fived Kirishima and Kaminari.
(Tsumazuku koto ni tsuyoku natta)
The other two later entered the classroom and Iida, Koda, and the rest of 1-A who were hanging out during that moment, Hajin took off his mask.

(Kakikeshite zankyou)
After the fight, Miyoung and Hajin landed on the ground.
(Da-dara-dara-da-da Dara-da-da, ara-da-da Da-dara-dara-da-da Dara-da-da, dara-da-da-ra)
Slowly the other students approached them with varying expressions of pride and excitement. They all turn around and look towards the rising sun of a better tomorrow as Hajin takes off his mask with a smirk on his face.
Hajin and Miyoung were eating their lunch together, but her phone rang and saw who it was and answered.
"Hello," Miyoung said, "you're here!? Where? Okay I'll be there."
She hung up on the phone and grabbed Hajin by his wrists as he was eating his fourth beef kimbap. He wasn't paying attention as he was eating to satiate his hunger.
"What the hell?!" Hajin said. He was annoyed at the fact someone pulled him away from eating food.
She kept pulling Hajin until there was the general area and there Hajin saw four girls. Based on their facial features, they were from Korea as Miyoung ran up to hug the four of them. One girl had gray pink hair, one had orange hair, one had normal brown hair, and one had black hair.
"It's been so long!" Miyoung said, "I've missed you all!"
"Us too," one said.
"Is he the boy toy?" the second one asked.
"First of all, he's not a boy toy. He's just a friend," Miyoung brought Hajin over, "This is Sakaeda Hajin."
"Hello," Hajin said, "it's nice to meet you all."
The four girls were surprised at the fact Hajin was able to speak Korean.
"Hajin…" Miyoung said, "these are my middle school friends. From left to right is Kim Boram who is the one with black hair, orange hair is Kang Hoyeon, the one with gray pink hair is Yu Taelee, and the normal brown hair is Lee Taerin."
The said girls waved while Hajin smiled and waved back.
"Your Korean is really good," Taerin said, "where did you learn it?"
"I am partially Korean," Hajin said, "my Mother is from Korea and my Father is third-generation Korean-Japanese; they both speak Korean. I also learned English from my Dad, he was born in the States."
"You must be a language expert," Taerin said.
"Oh far from it," Hajin said, "I simply grew up in a trilingual household."
They all started to laugh as Hajin and the five girls started talking to each other. Hajin heard a lot about Miyoung's middle school life. He also heard that she was a part of their middle school k-pop idol group and Hajin was wanting to hear more of it, but heard that lunch break was almost over so they decided to regroup with the other participants that were moving on to the final round.
As they all went into the coliseum to reunite with the rest of the other students, Hajin noticed that some of his classmates were missing. He scanned around and saw some cheerleaders and based on their cheering they were from America, but as he kept looking around, he had an indignant look on his face as he saw his female classmates in cheerleading outfits. Miyoung was lucky enough to avoid this prank by being with her old middle school classmates.
"What's the matter? Class A?" Present Mic said through the booth, "What kind of fan-service is that?"
Hajin looked around at who could be behind this prank and knew who to target. Mineta and Kaminari gave each other thumbs up as blood rushed up to their faces.
"Mineta-san! Kaminari-san! You tricked us, didn't you?!" Yaoyorozu angrily asked.
The two boys had a lecherous grin on their face as they chuckled, but a shadow overlooked them. They looked up to see their class rep with his arms crossed and a disdained look was on his face.
"I'm all for pranks, but this is a little too far," Hajin said.
Kaminari and Mineta laughed nervously but the next thing they knew, Hajin forced them to the ground and made them bow as they apologized.
…
"Alright, everyone! Let's have fun competing in the recreational games!" Mic screamed as the crowd started to cheer, "When that's over, the twenty from the five teams that made it to the final round will duke it out tournament style, one-on-one! But due to 20 people fighting, four subsequent fights will happen and the winner will face a brand new opponent."
The audience roared with positivity as the students were talking, but it all stopped when Midnight started speaking up.
"Now…" she said, while taking out a Lots box, "let's determine the bracket. Once the bracket is determined, we'll have the recreational games and then start! The twenty finalists can choose whether or not they want to participate in the recreation. I'm sure some of you want to rest or save your strength. Now from the first place team—"
"Um…" Ojiro raised his hand, "Excuse me. I'm withdrawing."
"Ojiro-kun, why!?" Midoriya asked.
"This is a rare chance for the pros to see you!" Iida said in shock.
Others looked at Ojiro with shock while Hajin had a look as if to ask why, Miyoung had a concerned look on her face as she put a hand on his shoulder.
"I barely remember anything from the cavalry battle until almost to the end," Ojiro said, "I think it was that guy's Quirk."
Hajin looked at the guy with the purple hair and tired expression. Perhaps he had something to do with this.
"I know that this is a great chance and it's foolish to waste it…" Ojiro said, "But— Everyone here completed by giving it their all! I can't be up there with everyone without knowing what really happened."
"You're thinking too much about it," Hagakure said, "You should just make sure you produce the results in the finals!"
"If you're gonna say that," Ashido said, "I didn't do anything either."
He started to cover his face as he said, "That's not it… I'm talking about my pride here… I can't… Also, why are you guys wearing cheerleader outfits?"
Soon another student walked up to Midnight, "I'm Shoda Nirengeki from Class B. I also want to withdraw for the same reason. Regardless of ability, don't you think it goes against the goal of this Sports Festival for those who didn't do anything to move onto the final round?"
Hajin narrowed his eyes, but understood where the two came from. They wanted to maintain their integrity and if they literally don't recall the recent events that got them there, then they wanted to not be a part of it. Midnight thought for a minute and took out her whip.
"Youthful talk like that is something…" she started, "that I like! Shoda! Ojiro! I accept your withdrawal! But if that's the case, we'll have to move up two people from the sixth place team."
They all looked at a ginger haired girl and her team. If Hajin was to recall that girl was Shihai and Hibino's classmate, Kendo Itsuka, "If that's what's going to happen, then rather than us, who barely did anything during the cavalry battle, it should be them right?"
Kendo's team nodded as the ginger started talking again, "The ones who fought to the end and stayed at the top, from Team Tetsutetsu, right?"
The said teen was shocked, but Kendo added, "This isn't collusion or anything. It just makes sense."
…
"And so," Midnight said after the team deliberated, "Tetsutetsu and Shiozaki have moved up to make twenty! This is the bracket based on the results of the random drawings!"
The subround fights are listed as follows:
Sakaeda Hajin vs. Yaoyorozu Momo
"Good luck," Hajin said to Yaoyorozu.
"Thank you," she said, because she may need a lot of it.
Sero Hanta vs. Kaminari Denki
Shinoso Hitoshi vs. Midoriya Izuku
Iida Tenya vs. Hatsume Mei
The main round 1 fights are listed as follows:
Tokoyami vs. Winner of Sakaeda and Yaoyorozu
Bakugou Katsuki vs. Uraraka Ochaco
Hibino Kafka vs. Winner of Sero and Kaminari
Aoyama Yuga vs. Ashido Mina
Todoroki Shoto vs. Winner of Shinso and Midoriya
Shihai Makima vs. Shiozaki Ibara
Choi Miyoung vs. Winner of Iida and Hastume
Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu vs. Kirishima Eijiro
Soon the finalists went inside the breakroom to rest while the rest of the students engaged in recreation games, but that didn't last long until the subrounds started. Soon, the hero Cementoss used his Quirk to create a cement platform.
"Thank you, Cementoss," Mic screamed in English, "Hey guys, are you all ready?!"
The crowd cheered as Present Mic started to talk, "A lot happened, but it's now come to this! A serious battle! You can only depend on yourself! Even if you're not a hero, you'll face lots of situations like that! You get it, right? Heart, skill, body, wisdom, and knowledge!"
Hajin was in the corridor as he took a deep breath and started walking out with flames roaring from the cement fighting ring.
"Audience," Mic screamed, "The finals you've all been waiting for are finally starting! Match number one… He is someone who does whatever a spider can, welcoming Class A's, Sakaeda Hajin! Versus, all-purpose creation! She was admitted through recommendations, so her abilities are certified! Also from Class A, it's Yaoyorozu Momo. It's simple to win; force your opponent out of bounds, or immobilize them! You can also win by making your opponent say, 'I give up!'"
Hajin looked at Yaoyorozu with a look of determination as his eyebrows furrowed.
'This isn't going to be an easy fight,' Yaoyorozu thought, 'Sakaeda-san's strength is immense and his reflexes are nothing to scoff at. He is strong enough, but not strong enough to break through a metal shield, it should protect me and damage him.'
"Let the fight begin!" Mic screamed.
Yaoyorozu looked calm, but gasped as Hajin made a massive leap and shot a web-line, pulling himself towards her at a high speed.
'While this is happening, I can create a weapon,' Yaoyorozu thought.
She used her Quirk to create a bo staff with one hand and shield on the other, but she had to block Hajin's punch as he was going too fast for her to hit him. As the punch connected, the metal shield had a huge dent in it as she was pushed back extremely far. Yaoyorozu saw the shield and was extremely taken aback by this.
'Has he been holding back his true strength?!' Yaoyorozu asked as she was stumbling back and rolling.
She soon recollected herself, but noticed how far Hajin was compared to her. Out of instinct she looked down and saw that she was way out of bounds and was in the grass.
"Yaoyorozu-san!" Midnight said, "Out of bounds!"
"A completely aggressive victory!" Mic screamed.
She saw Hajin who was walking towards her with a hand. She took it as he helped her up and Miyoung came out and walked with her into the corridor while Hajin walked another way. Miyoung was there for Yaoyorozu to comfort her. As Hajin sat by himself where his class was located while Miyoung sat with Yaoyorozu comforting and consoling her, Hajin continued to watch some of the battles. The next one with Sero and Kaminari ended with Sero being shocked and his tapes being burnt. The next fight was what made Hajin curious.
Midoriya was going against Shinso. Hajin looked closer by leaning to the rail and saw the two were conversing, but Midoriya soon started going frozen and Ojiro started standing up in frustration.
"I went through the trouble of warning him, too!" Ojiro said.
"Are you all seeing this?" Hajin asked his class. They all nodded as they were shocked to see Midoriya frozen. But what they saw next made them look out in utter shock. They saw Midoriya walking off the cement stage and Hajin looked closely, but he was somewhat able to make out that Midoriya was in a trance. Soon, a gust of wind had blown with Midoriya creating it. Hajin saw it made Midoriya snap out of the trance.
"Holy shit!" Hajin said, "Get him, Midoriya-kun!"
The class saw Hajin cheering for his classmate in an uncharacteristic manner and he started to get flustered a bit. He soon regained composure by clearing his throat and sat down. Miyoung saw this and had a fond smile on her face as she knew that Hajin was like this at home, not at school.
"See," Miyoung said to Yaoyorozu and everyone else, "underneath all that bravado and care-free angst is a big colossal teddy bear."
Miyoung soon gave Hajin a hug from the side as he started to groan and gently wave her away. When Miyoung returned to her seat next to Yaoyorozu, Hajin kept looking on as Midoriya was running to Shinso and was pushing him out of bounds, but Shinso punched Midoriya. This prompted the tree stump to grab the punching hand and do a Judo throw, throwing Shinso out of bounds. After a few minutes of Midnight announcing the winner, Midoriya returned with Hajin walking up to him and wrapping his arm around the said boy.
"Not bad, tree stump," Hajin said.
His classmates were laughing at Hajin's sudden change in attitude, but they stuffed it when he gave them a glare. Iida soon left the audience booth they were all at as he was getting prepared for his battle against Hatsume. Hajin was surprised as he saw that Iida had equipment, but heard that Hatsume gave him the equipment. This made Hajin narrow his eyes as he guessed that the equipment was meant to sabotage him. Within the next minute, his guess was right, but the result was shocking as he hears Midnight saying Iida advances to the next round.
Hajin fought Tokoyami by outmaneuvering Dark Shadow while advancing the latter and throwing him out of bounds, making him advance. A lot of the pro heroes were surprised by Hajin's performance within the first two fights he was involved in, but there were more people for them to be impressed about than just him.
When Hajin returned to the stands with Tokoyami, he saw that Uraraka and Bakugou were up, Hajin couldn't help but have a stoic and tense look on his face as he knew how this was going to go. As the battle started Uraraka ran at Bakugou only for a swipe explosion to happen. Hajin had a grimace look on his face as he knew what was going to happen. He stood up and started to walk away, making Midoriya call out for him.
"Sakaeda-kun?" Midoriya said, "Where are you going?"
"I can't watch this…" Hajin said as he started to walk away. Miyoung saw this and wanted to be there for him, but a part of her is telling her that he may want to be left alone for the time being.
Hajin was in the bathroom as he heard that Bakugou won and he couldn't help but be annoyed, he knew that he would respect Uraraka in some way and he had a small sliver of hope he would be wrong, but no. He knew he couldn't show restraint with Bakugou at this point. While he was taking a break from the bleachers, he heard that Hibino won against Kaminari and later, Ashido won against Aoyama. He soon thought at this point it would be a good time to return to his classmates.
Hajin walked out of the bathroom and returned to the bleacher, but this time sat next to Miyoung who was sitting next to Yaoyorozu as well.
"Are you okay?" Miyoung asked.
"I'll be fine," Hajin said, "who's fighting next?"
"Midoriya and Todoroki…" Miyoung said.
Hajin's eyes widened enough to show his surprise, but shifted his attention to the stadium as the action was happening. He kept watching as Todoroki had his right foot forward and sharp icicles were coming out of the ground and towards Midoriya. But Midoriya did a finger flick that not only broke the ice, but created a massive gust of wind. Todoroki created an ice wall for him to fall back on so he wouldn't go out of bounds. Hajin looked closely at Midoriya and started to narrow his eyes with frustration.
"Ano midori aho," Hajin said, "he broke another finger."
He can't help but watch as Todoroki used another ice attack, and again, Midoriya used another finger flick to destroy the ice. Hajin started to palm his face as he heard Present Mic commentate. As he dropped his hand he saw Todoroki going in for a ground punch that led to ice being shot out. Midoriya jumped back, but his foot was caught. Hajin soon started to grip the metal rails tightly to the point they were being crushed as Midoriya used his Quirk to throw a punch that destroyed all the ice.
"Todoroki keeps attacking with overwhelming power!" Mic screamed, "Here comes the finishing ice attack!"
Hajin soon started to feel defeated as Todoroki did another ice attack, but what made him disappointed was the fact Midoriya used one of his broken fingers since his left hand was broken.
"Todoroki doesn't recoil from Midoriya's power and gets in close!" Mic screamed.
As Mic was commentating, Todoroki created an ice slope that he ran up along, but it was destroyed as Midoriya started doing finger flicks with his left hand. Hajin inferred that it was due to his right hand being destroyed. While his anxiety was rising, his classmates were looking at Midoriya with shock and worry.
Hajin soon started to be curious as he saw Todoroki going for a different approach as he started running towards Midoriya. But Hajin saw he was running slow and it was due to him possibly overusing his Quirk. Hajin was surprised as he saw Midoriya soon punch Todoroki in the gut, pushing the half-and-half boy back.
"A solid hit!" Mic screamed, "We've got some action!"
Hajin started to hold onto the cement and it started to crack along his fingers as he was grasping on it tightly and all he was wondering was to stop the fight now. But his curiosity got the better of him as he saw Todoroki's left side emit a flame. Soon a flame burst appeared and the temperature was rising.
"Holy shit!" Hajin screamed, "Wow… this is crazy!"
"Shoto!" a voice bellowed.
Hajin looked in confusion and saw the Number Two Hero walking down the stairs. Endeavor was overjoyed at his son's full power.
"Have you finally accepted yourself?!" Endeavor asked, "That's it! Good! It all starts from here for you! With my blood, you will surpass me… You will fulfill my desire!"
Hajin started to get on the railing and stand along the wall as he watched Midoriya and Todoroki go at each other as if they were charging horses and within that moment, saw Cemetoss creating walls. This made Hajin get back to the bleachers and braced himself. As soon as the attack happened, a massive explosion happened, pushing a lot of people back. Mineta was about to be flown back but Shoji held onto his leg. Hajin shot two webs onto the ground and held onto them.
As the explosion died, Hajin was shocked as he saw Midoriya's unconscious body against the wall and was out cold. Todoroki was going to advance and fight Shihai.
The last bout was when Kirishima was going against Tetsutestu. Hajin who was in the waiting room couldn't help but feel that they were literal counterparts of each other. He was getting ready for his fight against Bakugou who entered his room.
"You better go all out on me…" Bakugou said, "Or I'll kill you."
Hajin didn't say anything as he mainly scowled at Bakugou. The latter clucked his tongue as he started walking away, but Hajin started speaking up.
"If I respected my enemy I would go all out to subdue them," Hajin said, "but if it's someone I don't like, then I would make it slow and painful to the point where I make them wish they were dead."
Bakugou said nothing as he scoffed and walked away. Soon Miyoung entered and walked to Hajin.
"Look I know you don't like him, but please, don't do anything stupid," Miyoung said. She had a hand on his shoulder to try to get through to him, but he kept looking forward.
As Present Mic started talking about the next fight, Hajin stood up and started walking. His head hung low as he started to have a determined look on his face.
—(Play Chainsaw Man ED 2 - Time Left by Zutomayo)—
(Yeah)
The first 8 eight seconds are a wavelength that responds to the bassline. Then it transitions to the night sky of Mustafu Japan.
(Shoppai ze hajimete kaide nameta de ai Jibouji kidesu heikintekina seiron ga binbou Irasshaimase ninniku mashi de mezashita kenkoutai Hara uta mitashiteru)
It shows Hajin in his hero outfit with his mask in his hand looking out into the sky of the city from the rooftop of his apartment building, taking sips of coffee and scrolling down his phone while sitting on the edge of the rooftop.
(Yuutousei muchina furi shite odocchatte Ketten desu genjou haaku shichau kara chuudan chuu Mou jouto misebirakashi aimasho rettoukan mou Kaerareya shinai tte wakatteru karaa?)
Miyoung in her apartment room relaxing as she was in loose and comfortable clothing, but decided to change into her hero outfit. At the end of the verse, she exits her apartment room and runs to the rooftop to meet with Hajin.
(Chokkan de jiko chuu na rikai funou pureiya Motomerareta nara sanjikai)
Midoriya is seen sitting in his room doing small exercises as he writes notes down in his hero analysis notebook.
(Kudaran kuchi genka demashi ni nan da Mottoo motto? Mou igai to tsurai no ni)
Hajin smiled as put on his mask and did a two finger salute to Miyoung as he ran and jumped off the roof doing a pose while rotating his body (Like Peter Parker intro from Into the Spider-Verse).
(Uzai kurai sakendatte kurattatte Yuzurenai hibi yo Eiyou ni natte mata yogoshiae yeah Zanki wakannakute agannakute Sekizui hansha no ruisen wa)
Hajin swung around Japan weaving around tall buildings and soon did a bullet dive and then started swinging close to the ground while weaving around traffic.
(Nigotta koe de utaeba kansha desu)
Hajin landed in front of Class 1-A who were all in their hero costumes with Midoriya and Miyoung waiting in front of them.
(Tameshitai wa atatakakute Zettai zetsumei na yoru wa kimochii Heibon na seikatsu yumemita kedo Sente hisshou ga Kimochi ii na)
Hajin soon walked past all his classmates who gave him a nod of approval except for Bakugou who simply looked away and huffed. As the last few seconds of the song play, Hajin took off his mask and smiled as he, Miyoung and the rest of Class 1-A started walking with the sun rising.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Throughout this story when Hajin and Miyoung are talking, Code Switching is very common between them. Here are the seiyuus for the OCs, their names in Hangul and in Japanese, and their Quirks:
Hajin Sakaeda - 사카에다 하진 - 栄田ハジン (CV: Toya Kikonosuke - Sounds like Denji from Chainsaw Man) Quirk: Spider - The user has the ability of a spider which include: superhuman strength, agility, wall-crawling abilities, spider-sense, super equilibrium, and organic webbing.
Miyoung Choi - 최미영 - チョイミヨン (CV: Sally Amaki - Sounds like Kiriko from Overwatch 2) Quirk: Invincible - The user has the ability to be invulnerable to anything, they also has the ability to be immune to any diseases and impervious to any attacks. Because of that their limits to strength and speed are extremely high.
