Hey guys, another update. :) I had too much time on my hands so I decided to kill two bird with One for All, I mean One stone. Hehe :p

Yeah! Double update in one day. I wrote this chapter in one day since I have too much time on my hands so I decided to challenge myself and make this.

Also, this is like the last time. I am so unsure of my writing. Haha. I don't know if I am writing them well and doing the characters justice. Haha

But still, I love writing so.. I guess, I'll just see in the future since time has a funny way of making one of seeing things differently.

Hope you guys like this. :)

Izuku breathed deeply. His heart jumped erratically. The teen knew that many people were watching and just the thought of him being under the watchful eyes of the masses froze him. In their locker room, his classmate was silent too and he hoped that they were feeling the same as him. The atmosphere was tense that not one peep came from anyone.

Mineta beside him managed himself by writing in his hand and eating the invisible words. Glad to know that the shameless Mineta could be nervous too.

"Deku-kun," Uraraka asked, "are you okay?"

"I'm just nervous," he smiled, but knowing himself it probably came out near to a grimace.

"I thought I was the only one too!" replied the zero gravity user. "It's my first time in front of many people! Can you imagine being show in tv's all over the country?" He certainly couldn't, by Katsuki can after that Slime villain debacle.

"Midoriya."

Todoroki approached him giving him a cold look that unsettled Izuku. The fire and ice user was always cold and indifferent, but he can't help but feel that this one was different. There was something else in those eyes. A different cold fire emitted in his classmate's eyes. His fire and ice user classmate always had this cold flame. But this? It felt different. A determined colder fire burned in those heterochromic eyes so much that he shivered at the intensity of the stare.

The gaze was so different from Katsuki whose flames burned brightly and unafraid of glowing so brightly for everyone to be seen. He wanted to show the world what he can do but not seeking validation.

He was not sure why Todoroki was calling him of all people and with that dark look in his eyes. Their interactions inside and outside of UA were very limited, so for Todoroki to call him, maybe he needed something?

Izuku was thankful for the distraction. "Todoroki, what is it?"

"Objectively speaking, even if you are the first placer in the Entrance exam I'm stronger than you," said the other. It was an easy pill to swallow. Of course, the white and red haired teen was stronger. He easily controlled two elements of nature, he can simultaneously use fire and ice if he wanted to. Without One for All at his side, he'd be more so hard pressed in defeating him in the Indoor Combat test. He can use his quirk in surprising ways, but he had an idea that his quirk was just a support type.

The green headed teen met his blank gaze in wondered what prompted this conversation for Todoroki. "But, All Might has his eye on you, doesn't he?" Did Todoroki know? Or was he just suspicious of the nature of their relationship? Nevertheless, it was an open secret that Toshinori-sensei ask for him from time to time. "I won't pry into that but," his classmate's expression hardened discretely from the way his eyes narrowed. "I'm going to beat you."

It was like kacchan all over again. He could see the parallel as they strive to best each other in each training preparation for UA.

"Eh," Kaminari stood, and the sliding chair screeched, and said excitedly, "Is the best of the class making a declaration of war. Is Todoroki joining in on the bet?"

"Hey," seeing it was Kirishima who was approaching, he gestured for his friend to stop.

If Todoroki wanted to challenge him for some reason, then let him.

Squaring his shoulders, back straight, and chest forward as he closed his eyes for a second. "Todoroki, I don't know what came over you to challenge me of all people and," he glared at the teen to make his point. "I know you're stronger than me. You're better than me. I know that."

Kirishima was about to say anything but Izuku gave him a sharp look that stopped the redhead, "But, everyone's doing their best to reach the top." Images of his and Shinsou's training came to the fore of his mind. "So."

"I said this to kacchan before and I'll say this again." Forming a fist. He held his shaking fist out nearly touching the recommended student's chest. "I won't lose to any challenge that comes my way. I won't hold any punches. I will not hold back. Friend or not. Classmate or not. I will defeat you or anyone who gets in my way. So, better use that that fire of yours or otherwise you're just insulting us all."

The fire and ice user didn't say anything else after that.

The cheers of people, Present Mic's loud narrating voice, and fireworks blowing mixed into one chaotic presence. They all invaded his ears as they marched out towards of the stadium and into the center of the field. The stadium was larger in personal than what he'd seen in television!

He felt like an ant in a giant's territory. It was an apt though as UA had one of the biggest stadium in Japan.

"The UA Sports Festival! The once in a year event where fledgling heroes sharpen their swords!"

More cheers came from the crowd and he could barely control his breath as beneath his chest, thudded fast as thunder. The knowledge it wasn't simply him who felt these calmed himself, if only somewhat. Even the unflappable Iida who was confident as Katsuki, was silent. Uraraka gushed at the crowd, the same as him, to drown out his anxiety.

Mom, dad, and All Might. I'll make you all proud.

"Here they come!" the chants of the audience became even louder than possible as the Voice Hero introduced them. "The brave heroes with hearts of steel who overcame the villain attacks to help their teachers! Hero Course, Class 1-A!"

"1-A!" Chanted the people as they roar in excitement.

It was embarrassing being in the limelight! He doesn't know how heroes handle this kind of thing! "So…many people." He muttered sweating before the battle starts for god's sakes. The teen stared at the millions of people cheering, shouting, and jumping with enthusiasm.

"Next up! Hero Course, Class 1-B!" Present Mic introduced each department as they walked to the center where Midnight waited for them on a stage and podium was situated.

"What's this! The umpire for this year is the R-Rated Hero, Midnight!?" Mixed cheers of "boos" and "yeah" were screamed at the R-Rated Hero. The boos most likely coming from the women, he chuckled.

Looking around, it was nerve wracking with so much people competing in the event! Being part of the even felt so different than watching it on television!

The green haired teen glanced to see the familiar mope of purple but in this forest of people, it seemed impossible to see where the guy was.

He hoped everyone's doing okay.

"Time for the Player Pledge!" With a wave of her stick, the crowd's noise pollution lessened. "Representing the students is Midoriya Izuku of Class 1-A!"

"What!?" he paled. His thought processes stopped and rebooted itself. Why did no one ever told me this! He cried silently. It was just dropped so suddenly! He didn't even prepare for a speech! Oh god, he was going to embarrass himself in front of millions of people! A push came from behind and he glared at the his best friend. Damn it kacchan!

Slowly he does it. Izuku's knees buckled with each step. God, he was so sweaty. It'll look disgraceful if I wipe it. Never had he dreamed in a million of years that it will be him who would stand in front of millions of people! Damn it.

He put his shaking hands in his pockets. The less seen of his twitchy hands, the better. "Uhm," the teen began. He cleared his throat. His eyes glanced upwards in the stand, and into the students. 1-A looked back at him with expectations. Iida and Uraraka gave him two thumbs up while Kirishima grinned that reached his spot. As for kacchan, his expression was not expressive, but… A smirk adorned his face.

You can do it, you nerd, Izuku heard it in perfect Katsuki voice. Don't give a fuck about what the world thinks.

"Uhm," repeating himself. The Class representative ignore the murmurs of the students and grinned best as he could, the image of All Might in his mind. "I pledge… that today I, we, we do our best. The best… as we can be. Not to compete, but to, to learn from e-each other. We are no-ot just students in different ah… departments but," Shinsou came to mind. Imagining his mom sitting in the living room rooting for him, made him relaxed slightly. "We are all fellow people striving to be heroes. So."

Closing his eyes for a minute, he was very anxious, but he wouldn't let himself be controlled by his fears! "Let us help each other to reach and break the limits."

God, he didn't know how hotter his cheeks would get by standing on the stage longer! His classmates cheering for him made him feel lighter somehow. The no booing was a plus that he felt so relieved. He managed despite his anxiety as people clapped and he just wanted them go down already, damn it.

"So, manly!"

"Deku-kun!"

"Such an inspiring speech, Midoriya-kun!"

"That's our Class Rep for ya!" Izuku tuned out the people and hurried down. He just wanted to get out of the spotlight. As soon as he got down, Midnight got the briefing underway.

"Let's this show started!" the raven haired R-Rated declared not long after his pledge. "And now for the first game! This first game is the qualifiers that will determine who will drink their tears and go home and those who do not!" Waving her hand, the holographic screen appeared behind her. With a motion of her hands the selection started in the form of a slot machine.

Izuku didn't know how long his heart would last waiting for the first game that would determine who goes to he second or not.

The virtual slot machine stopped.

"An obstacle race," he muttered. This was his area. He could do this. He'd trained his Warp and One for All best as he can.

Midnight explained the rules. It looked simple at first but knowing UA, they'd "Plus Ultra" the obstacle race. The warp user didn't know what but, trouble was expected by him already. He couldn't anticipate or predict the obstacle was, but he mentally prepared himself by doing breathing exercises.

"Get to places everyone!"

He was lucky that his Warp would be favored by the first game, but the teen would not underestimate the others. Grinning a little, the One for All inheritor expected a tough challenge. Time to see how far I've come with my training, he clenched his hands.

The green haired warp user didn't know where the others were. He lost them to the tight crowd long ago.

He muttered, "Most likely, this would favor Todoroki. The place is tight, perfect time for slowing others down." And likely to funnel the contestants.

Izuku breathed deeply, and the inherited power surged in his veins.

Three.

All Might watch the fruits of my training. Watch me tell the world that "I am here!"

Two.

He vibrated on the spot from the unreleased power just like his fast beating heart.

Mom. Dad. Watch me as I do my best to make you proud.

One.

Go beyond, Plus Ultra!

Not wasting time, Izuku jumped as darkness filled his vision briefly before finding himself falling on top of the students near the exit now. "Oi! He's gonna hit us!" Someone screamed. They tried to dodge but they were squeezed from shoulder to shoulder. They don't have to worry about that as once again, a swirling red vortex appeared below him.

Again! Looking ahead, he knew where he would get out before he felt the portal swallowed him. Izuku landed of the pavement, he looked back to see he outside and just a few short meters ahead of the entrance where the students still struggled with each other. It was good to see the sun shining down on him now.

"Todoroki! Midoriya! I knew you two would be the first!" Laughed Mineta as he jumped from the head of the students. The telltale sign of freezing made him jumped and as he glanced to the ground. The gray ground sheen with with and the students screamed about being stuck. WIthout problem Todoroki zoomed past him sliding on the ice.

Todoroki's fast!

The teen himself didn't waste time as he prepared himself.

"You half and half bastard!" a familiar raging person screamed follow by strong blasts echoing in the air.

"Naïve Todoroki!"

He can't waste time! Kacchan, Aoyama, Kirishima, Mineta and Momo were gaining ground! Alright, he practiced this. Standing slowly, he made sure his footing was solid before activating One for All in his foot. One push was all it took to launch himself and feel the winds all over his body

Ice skating. Remember the Ice skating videos you watched. The training. He was fortunate that he followed his guts of practicing maneuvering in ice, plus, his hoes was made to easily stop in ice. Not a support item, but one that could be easily bought in stores everywhere, so he was not breaking the rules.

Technicalities.

He was slowing down, so once again he pushed himself with a single shove of a One for All powered foot. Cold winds blew against his face as he slid on the smooth cold floor. Right behind him, explosions followed along with myriad of people from the looks of it.

"Deku! You too ya bastard! I won't let be left behind!"

The teen let the momentum of his push carry him forward in the slippery ice. He can't afford to look back lest he slides! Thundering explosions with a strong force blew Izuku forward and to the ground but crossing his arms and looking upwards. The hum and thrum of his warp appeared on the frozen pavement below him. Fast as a snap, he appeared in the sky overlooking the others.

Izuku made another gate but smaller than normal and compressed himself as he dropped through it. He dropped vertically towards the ground and stretched his legs in sliding position. It took for a few seconds for him to get his balance right before he resumed his sliding towards a large wide area.

"Whoa," he skidded to a stop when large metallic hand hit the ground. Many robots, hidden from the trees blocked the path. It was not just any robot, his eyes widened. Before them was a wall of Zero Pointers whose backs faced the sun producing shadows that that loomed over them making them looked very menacing especially with their glowing red eyes and large body. There were the one, two, and three pointer robots too, but the zero pointers was the most plentiful in the crowding machines.

"Whoa, it looks like the students have come to the first obstacle!" Present Mic's voice narrated loudly from somewhere. "The Robo inferno!"

Todoroki in the lead, stopped too. Izuku glanced behind him, the others now starting catch up to him with his blond best friend first and Momo who made and wore ice skates.

"Whoa!"

"Isn't that the Zero point villains!"

"Seriously, the Hero Course had this too."

Some more words were uttered as the masses now caught up with them. The green haired inheritor of One for All turned inwards as he thought of how he could get out of this without expending more energy to his warps. Or using the risky One for All. A few meters in front of him, Todoroki created ice, making Izuku jumped back.

Large ice covering their path came from his classmate freezing every robot in their spot. The fire and ice user slid between the legs and he struggled to see what happened next with the great ice wall and vapor covering the field.

"What the hell happened!"

"That Todoroki guy just smashed through them all and froze the robots!"

"Go in between their legs!"

"Smash!" he screamed flicking forwards, winds rustled as everything in his path blew, or knocked down.

Now!

With obstacles, clear, the One for All user surged forward jumping. "What the," he didn't count the power behind it as his left ankle flared in agony. The teen, upon landing screamed and fell on his knees on the One pointers back. Not broken but…, he gritted.

The pain surged, and but he bare it. He could get by this. The one moment he lost focus, One for All bit his ass faster than their neighborhood wild dog. Izuku screamed and grabbed at something when the thing shook. Anything!

He did grab something when the thing fell backwards, but he fell to his warp faster than he expected and fell in the sky once again. The sky filled his vision, but looking down he was falling fast. To the pavement! A quick gate, and he landed just outside the Robo inferno zone, wasting no time to move despite the flaring pain. Izuku, to distract himself debated on throwing the metal plate that he had grabbed. No, it might come in handy later.

Better to have something and not need it, than to need something and not have it.

Izuku winced when he started running again, but glanced once to see more robots coming in and the others fought their way out of the mess he and Todoroki made.

He continually grimaced and gritting his teeth. I can do this! Plus Ultra! He had faced this during training in the last two weeks! He could do this! The fatigue was far from settling, but he was starting to get tired. Oh crap. More robots. Even the others are catching up.

Not looking back, Izuku ran. He ran with barely controlled One for All enhancing his every step. Each step, a few feet flying before landing but not without bearing the agony on his leg while carrying a metal plating for god knows what reason. If this was the first obstacle then better be prepared than sorry!

There! The Green haired teen could see Todoroki now!

"Deku! You two thought you could escape me!" Kacchan roared, soaring above and pass him followed by his continuous blasts that propelled him forward. Quickly as it came, it faded in an explosion as kacchan was flitted away by his quirk.

"Midoriya-kun!" Iida called and glancing back, there, his blue-haired engine quirked friend ran and was now catching up to him. The others were catching up now too gradually. "I admire your effort, but I too cannot allow myself to fall behind for my brother believes in me!"

Iida passed by him. He stepped up his game by adding more power. The strain was there, but he would manage with it! His step further than the last. The teen landed and ought to run again, but Iida immediately stopping made him do the same.

Izuku gape at the landscape before them. Cliffs! He wondered in amazement how could they do such thing as this and put it back together after the entrance exam. The cliff was littered with spires that served as jumping stones interconnected by ropes.

"If you fall, you're out!" the ever present Present Mic said jovially. "It's The Fall!"

"It looks like the Iida Tenya and Midoriya Izuku are catching up with Todoroki Shouto and Bakugou Katsuki! But the distance they have to cross is great! Better catch up fast!" They were catching up alright, but the distance between Todoroki and kacchan was massive. On the distance, there in the sky, without squinting Katsuki's form was visible with him continuously blasting his way to catch up with their leading classmate. Squinting a little, Todoroki's form could be seen crossing a rope.

He needed to bridge the gap and quick! Izuku couldn't help but grinned at his idea he suddenly had.

Making sure the metal plate wouldn't fall, the warp user ran and jumped! With the metal safely tuck in the other arm, he fell with the winds blowing on his face with the grin still on his face.

I got to time this right. Once he passed the rope, he raised his arm overhead the rope and grab it with his free arm. He pulled on his right to balance the metal plating on the rope.

The teen slid to rope with ease. Easier too since its slightly downward angle. This was the most fun he had! Excitingly fun! Todoroki, kacchan, I'll catch up to you two!

"Midoriya is catching up by using the rope as a zip-line!" Present mic roared. "Looks like the 1-A Class Representative doesn't like to lose to his two classmates. WIll he catch up."

I'm on the end of the rope!

He let go of the plate and grabbed the rope. The youth felt his gloves burn, but ignored it in favor of pulling with his strength. The teen flew up and landed on the top of the platform.

Only a second was taken to see how the others are doing and one pink haired girl flew across using items. Izuku did not waste time and, jumped to the nearest spire, wincing for the millionth time, and slid across the rope as he did so.

Rinse and repeat did Izuku went at it. Jumping and sliding towards the other he did. Until, one last jumped that he reached the red stairs, or the end of the Fall, no worse for wear through conserving of energy.

The equipped girl followed him next on his far right, but he didn't stay as he dashed forwards and jumped.

Toshinori was amazed that Midoriya Izuku did in his free time during the last two weeks. He had ask that Cementoss observe the youth, which the hero did gladly oblige. His words on Izuku's training was that it was arduous in a way and Toshinori believed it knowing the truth. To train two quirks at during best as he can on a span of two weeks was exhausting, especially two different quirks, but his apprentice did it anyways.

He trained in using One for All by doing the exercise he recommended, letting One for All flow in his body as he practiced his kata. Not only that, young Izuku seemed to practice his control of it by sparring with another fellow student, Hitoshi Shinsou, he made friends with. So he not only helped practice his quirk, but helped a fellow student who dreamt to be a hero too.

Cementoss had reported too that he was testing the limits of his warp by creating so many warps at the same time and having young Hitoshi go through that thus testing the limits of his partner and him. Testing the boundaries of his warp gates.

The results could clearly be seen now, in the way his movement are much smoother than when he used One for All during the first Combat Training. Observing, the jumps his inheritor did, it was clearly powered by One for All but it was more controlled. More refined than when they began after he gave the legacy to him. Though, he watched and immediately concluded that young Midoriya still had trouble controlling the power. Still, it was exciting to know that his successor made progress on his own!

His quick thinking in the ice earlier was good reaction time too. A little too good? Was he practicing sliding in the ice? Did Izuku expect Todoroki to freeze the floor? Knowing his analytical mind, he may have used his experience in both Indoor Battle exercise and USJ to observe his classmates to gather enough information on how they act and handle things.

He also, observed that, Izuku did not use much of his warp, only in instances where he needed it most. A logical strategy, he mused since it'd take too much energy.

It made him proud as his mentor that he could tapped his self potential on his own. If that was the case, then how much with guidance?

Now, he watched his apprentice traversed the second part of the obstacle through his wits. Using the metal plate as a makeshift pulley of the zip-line and accelerating himself. The least energy expending move his successor thought of. He didn't expect that!

"In the lead are still Todoroki and Bakugou! Looks like Midoriya is the third one! But the others are now catching up with him on the edge of the minefield!"

"Hatsume Mei is in hot pursuit to the two with her equipment!" Sure enough, the girl floated her way though the field and weaving gingerly left and right to avoid the mines. "It looks like the Support Department doesn't like to lose too. The competition is on fire!"

He watched as the others marched through the exploding minefield. As they got closer to the other side, explosions sent many individuals flying away due their proximity. All of them fought one another while going forwards, everyone was leaving his apprentice behind. His apprentice stood there neart the edge of the minefield using the same metal plate to dig. From the camera angle, the number one hero couldn't see how deep or what he was digging but, could it be?

It looked like he and Principal Nedzu had the same idea, base on the gleam of his eyes. The gleam that said something unexpected would happen.

Blast after blast occurred throughout the field. The hero knew that traveling on foot would be a mistake because as they closer to the end, the tighter the minefield was. Turning his gaze back to his inheritor, he was right! That ingenious youth!

Young Midoriya gripped the metal plating tightly and jumped to the pile of gathered mines. A huge explosion then clearly rocked the earth, and the pink blast could be seen even where he was. Every contenders stopped and turned at the large blast of pink. The 1-A Class Representative passed everyone fast as a bullet that he couldn't help but grin in excitement.

"What's this!" Present Mic yelled in wonder. The audience cheered form the large pink blast that could be seen even from the inside of the stadium. "Class 1-A Representative Midoriya Izuku is catching up using the blast to propel himself! He's on fire!"

Swifter than he expected, the others were now left behind in a literal dust. Even Todoroki and Bakugou.

One minute he was there, the second he, the youth was gone swallowed by red and black faster than most could see.

"Whoa!" the blond commentator gasped along with the audience when his successor disappeared. "It seems Midoriya Izuku is gone! Where is he!?"

Red and black warp gate opened far ahead the others and near the entrance. Explosion came from the portal and out with it was the missing contender who still clung to the metal passing the finished line a blur.

"Midoriya finished first!" The cheer rumbled throughout the arena and the private observation booth they were in now shook from the sounds of the audience alone. "With an explosive comeback move, Midoriya overrun both Todoroki and Bakugou and finished first!"

"Eraserhead, what are you teaching these kids!"

Toshinori stood in happiness before calming himself and sat down. He transformed to All Might. "Ha, ha, ha! That was a blast! I never expected that to happen! Well done young Midoriya!" he gave the boy a thumb up. He certainly showed the world that he was there!

His successor took a long deep breath and his gaze all over the stadium. He looked strong but, Toshinori knew his student, he's softhearted yet strong willed. So, he wasn't surprised when he cried seconds later, but he would not look down on Izuku's tears. For he knew that they were tears of joy and triumph. Tears of knowing that his training and hard work finally paid of.

"On second place, both Todoroki and Bakugou are fighting for the spot!"

The entrance blew and out of it came first Endeavor's son. A furious Bakugou followed him next.

"What're you crying for nerd!?" Bakugou was mad he was third. It stung. Both his arms and pride.

Not because he lost to his best friend. No, he was proud of the nerd, another point for him and cutting their tied score. The explosive teen was proud of his friend for beating him. Not that he'd admit that fact when he didn't specify what kind of win they had to have. Izuku assumed it applied sparring only.

No, that was that as eating him. It was that damn arrogant half and half! Not even using his left side could still win! It grates his nerves so much! Here he was blasting his ass, his fucking sore arm and the dumbass doesn't use his everything! He busted his ass everyday after school reaching the limits of his body and of his quirk and he only came in third. The damn hybrid afraid of using his fire yet second? It's insulting!

Does he think I'm not worthy as a rival? Or the other scrubs.

He wanted to lash out, but the teen knew it would not do any good. He could get back at half and half in the second and third part. Plus, no one challenges Izuku but me.

Katsuki smirked, he may have lost this one, but the next round will be him. The blond promised that. The nerd and half would lose.

He smirked in pride and happiness that his friend won. The nerd needed the win since Katsuki felt his friend needed that to grow more backbone. Let all the people look at Izuku and challenge him, that'd get his ass up. Don't get him wrong, the damn tear factory best friend of his can grow balls when he needed but not enough for him.

"I just can't believe I won, kacchan."

Yeah, you've earned it nerd. And he meant it. Two weeks. Two weeks they all trained separately, and he could see the difference in his childhood friend. He earned it. Even earned him a new friend that he never met yet, Eyebags he decided to call the new guy, since in Izuku's words he looked like he never slept.

He can't stand to look at the damn green fluffball when he's crying. "Stop you're crying. They're praising you!" he grabbed the nerd and ruffled his hair. "Enjoy it while you can. 'Cause I'm taking the next two rounds." His smirked turned to a grin at deku's confused expression. "Don't look so surprised you little shit. You know this one is your turf."

"Deku-kun! Kacchan!" said round face who ran towards them. "You two were amazing! I still have a lot to go before I catch up with you guys! It's so frustrating, dang it!"

"My speed wasn't enough," he heard Iida say amidst the rumbling voice of the crowd.

Join the club, speedy. Huffed Katsuki. I still lost to the sonuva bitch and defeated me using his ice half! Ice half! Four eyes stayed rooted on his spot who looked in disbelief. Even talking to himself on his loss. Realizing his mistake, he took off his mind on the bastard and joined in the two lovebirds.

"Don't get comfy, round face," his hands twitch and hurt to move somehow, but he crossed it on his chest nonetheless. "I'll fucking blow deku on the second part. Ah, fuck it. Not just deku, I'll blow that bastard to hell too."

Zero gravity girl then asked, "You mean Todoroki?" His hand twitched at the mention of the bastard's name.

He admits, shitty as he was when he was young. Not to mention arrogant. He was not so arrogant to to do everything half-assed. All Katsuki did even when they were young was hundred percent full shit.

Deku showed him that he was wrong, and the people singing praises were a bunch of pussies even when they were afraid of him. They still shower him with praise even when he's being a shitstain. But he was over that now, dammit! Deku made sure of it.

So, one could say he knew arrogance, and arrogance was what he saw in Todoroki.

He knew that he was not the top dog. Potential, hell fucking yeah. But not the top dog. Yeah, I'm not the strongest, but that doesn't meant he'll stop blasting fuckers left and right using all his sweat to reach the fucking top. He'll drain himself of his sweat if he needed to. Yet, the half bastard only uses his right! Fuck that shit. The balls of that bastard.

Stronger than deku, my ass. Katsuki knew he was an ass, but an ass that has a stick shoved up so deep into his ass? To declare he's stronger than deku and them? He wanted to remove the stick himself. What does he think of hims and the other scrubs, extras?

The others were busting their ass just to go to the finish line and he insults them by fucking with them using only ice.

He'll beat him till he uses that other side. The teen promised.

"Yeah," he sneered. "That arrogant pompous piece of-."

The blond glared at shitty hair who pun an arm around his shoulders. "Relax, man. You can beat Todoroki later." He didn't protest to the redhead teen on his fucking action knowing it'd be useless. Waste of energy to say so. "I just wanted to say to you guys that, you only won because the game favored your quirks." Pounding his fists, the redhead grinned, "I'm gonna take the First place this time."

"Better luck next time, shitty face, round head," said a smug Katsuki. "You'll need it."

"Hey," protested brunette round face. "That's mean kacchan! I'll show you."

"Now, let's take a look at the result!" Midnight uttered, pointing on the holographic screen. Izuku looked at the names of the top ten. He was the first, which came as a surprise because he wasn't sure his idea would work. Thank you kacchan!

2nd Todoroki Shouto

3rd Bakugou Katsuki

4th Shizoaki Ibara

5th Honenuki Juzo

6th Tenya Iida

7th Fumikage Tokoyami

8th Hanta Sero

9th Kirishima Eijiro

10th Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu

He blinked to see if what he was seeing was right, which correct. Most of the top ten was from their class. The only one from 1-B was, Shiozaki, Honenuki, and Tetsutetsu. Looking further down the list all of 1-A got in and mostly from the the B Class. He grinned when on different spots, he saw the name of the persons he was looking for.

Uraraka placed in 13th.

Hitoshi Shinsou, in 25th place.

His new friend made it near the half!

Is this the difference of experience can do? Or was it simply because their class was simply more "manly" in Kirishima's terms as the Hero Coursers was the ones that got in and few support and GenEd students. The teen can't say for sure, but he knew it was just the beginning to conclude. Maybe their experience in USJ did help, but there was still more to come and others could still win. Through tactics, ingenuity, or something else, he was excited to know.

"The top 42 made it through the next round," Midnight stated arms crossed. "There's still chance for you to shine. The real competition begins next! So give it your all."

With a single raise of her arm, the virtual rouletted rolled again. The anticipation was thick, and he could feel that whatever comes next would be intense. "Now, here is the second game!"

Izuku swallowed heavily, what could it be? Random team battle royale? Combat training like event, possibly by pair?"

Once the rolling slowed, he was nervous. "Here it is!"

Cavalry battle.

He didn't know whether to be happy that it's a team battle or be anxious knowing there's more. He was sure it was "Plus Ultra'd" by UA. They all learned that nothing was ever normal in UA.

"Cavalry battle," his electric quirk classmate said. "I'm bad at those."

The hero immediately explained the rules, "So, here's how it goes. You can form team minimum of two, and maximum of four members." The picture of All Might being hoisted by Thirteen and Present Mic was so cute. He wondered what the "surprise" in this one would be.

He swept the question away knowing Midnight would explain it soon. Right now, he needed to focus on the team members.

"It's the same as a regular Cavalry battle," the sexily clad heroine turned to look at them on her shoulder. "But, the one thing different is you'll be assigned different points depending on your rank from the last game."

Izuku froze at that. That means…. He's the highest one!

Crap. All Teams would be after my team.

Sato said something, but he was somehow far away from his muscular classmate, so he didn't hear what it was.

"So, that means each team is worth different points depending on the team!"

"That's right!" Midnight pointed at his two female classmates. "The points start on five starting from the bottom."

Crap. I'm in even more trouble now. My points will be the most demanded one of all.

"And the points assigned to the first place is," doing the math in his head. He was about to get to it.

"It's uh...," he muttered counting on his head.

"Ten million points!"

Immediately, Izuku froze. Slowly he glanced left and right only to want to shrink from all the eyes on him.

All friends in that instance, he knew, became enemies out for his head. And he only had one thing to say, "Oh fuck."

So, like I said, I was unsure when I wrote this and in this chapter I wanted to explore more about Bakugou. But yeah, not sure 'bout that one. :p

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this.
