Disclaimer: My Hero Academia belongs to Kohei Horikoshi.

It would seem that the Cavalry Battle has reached its conclusion, with five teams having been selected to reach the final stage of the 1st-year day of the Sports Festival.

"In first place, we have Team Tanaka!" Present Mic announces. "In second place, Team Todoroki! In third place, Team Bakugo! In fourth place, Team- Wait hold on, is that Team Shinso?! Talk about an unexpected comeback! And in fifth place, with yet another unexpected comeback, is Team Midoriya! These five teams will advance to the final round! Now we will take an hour-long break for lunch before coming back. See ya! Eraserhead, let's go grab lunch."

"I'm going to sleep," the sleep deprived hero replies with before what sounded like a loud thump could be heard coming from inside the booth. Clearly, he fell asleep on the floor.

As everyone in the stands gets ready to get something to eat for lunch, the students in the arena t

"How did we even make it to the final round?" Midoriya questions, before his teammate came up to him.

"Dark Shadow was able to catch the headband Tanaka gave to us," Tokoyami explains, pointing to the aforementioned sentient quirk holding a headband in its shadowy beak. "Apparently, he wanted some of us to make it to the final round with him and his team."

Blinking in confusion, the greenette can only stand there before the aforementioned classmate came up to him.

"Tanaka, why would you do that?" he asks him, curiously.

"I just simply thought that it might be fair to give some of you guys a chance to make to the final round," Tanaka replies. "I hope that you can think of this as my way of encouraging you to prove yourselves and such. That, and I wanted to see what some of you guys can do if push comes to shove."

"Thank you so much Tanaka!" Midoriya cries, two large streams of tears bursting out of his eyes. "You have no idea how much this means to me!"

Tanaka can only blink a few times in confusion and astonishment, the latter over how much water he's spouting from all of those tears. He can only stand there, agape at the sight of Uraraka patting his shoulder while Tokoyami and the salmon-haired girl that was with him (who he knows is Hatsume) congratulating him in their own unique ways. In his peripherals, Mineta walks over to the puddle that was made from his classmate's tears in a rather curious manner.

His eyes then shift from Midoriya to the other winning teams. He looks at the indigo haired boy from the other day (Shinso is his name) wearing a satisfied smirk on his face, while his team is looking around in confusion. The moment they both make eye contact with each other, Shinso merely nods in acknowledgement at how he had been given a chance to be in the finals. The indigo haired insomniac shows him the headband containing his team's original points, before giving it back to a robot assistant that was cleaning up the arena. He watches the guy walks away to join everyone else in getting lunch.

The next one to turn his gaze towards is Bakugo and his team. From what he can see, the explosive blonde is beyond furious at not having made it to first place again. He team can only do nothing but each give resigned shrugs at him. Honestly, that guy can be such a baby at times when things don't go his way.

But when he looks at Todoroki's team, the shadow user immediately notices that the dual-haired teen isn't celebrating the victory at making it to the final round as everyone else. For some strange reason, he looks to be gazing at his left hand with a look of bewilderment on his scarred face. That bewilderment eventually turned into something between either quiet anger or downright annoyance, whichever one comes first.

'What does he want with Midoriya?' the shadow user thinks, watching as Todoroki pulls the aforementioned classmate to the side to have a private talk. Shrugging his shoulders, he merely turns around to try and join his friends along with everyone else in heading over to the cafeteria to get something to eat.

But just as he walks about a dozen and a half steps away from the scene, he hears the dual-haired boy call out to him. Turning around, he gives his classmate a confused look before asking, "What is it?"

-Later-

"Oh yeah, we finally made it to the final round! Sweeeeeett!" Tora shouts out excitedly. He happens to be with Kaeda as they head over to the cafeteria to get something to eat.

"Tell me about it," the quirkless genius replies. "And I just can't believe that people actually saw what my suit can do. If they're expecting to see some of the guys from the Hero Course, just wait until they get a load of me."

The redhead can only shudder in dread from the thought of someone going up against the inventor. Especially when they might show some... less than savory views on the quirkless population. Hopefully, his friend doesn't maim them too badly like that drunk jackass that snuck into his room in the orphanage he's living in.

What Kaeda lacks a quirk, he makes up for in craziness.

May Lady Kwannon show mercy to those who might end up being on the receiving end of the inventor's experiments.

"By the way," Tora brings up. "What do you suppose that Todoroki guy wanted with Tanaka?"

"Beats me," was what he got.

They might get the shadow user something for him to eat when they're finished. Then, they can go look for him.

-In another part of the stadium-

"Is there something you want to share with us?" Tanaka questions Todoroki. "Because whatever it is, could you please make it quick?"

"I'm with Tanaka," Midoriya agrees, looking rather uncomfortable with the look his dual-haired classmate is giving him. "If we don't hurry, the cafeteria will probably be crowded..."

"I was overpowered," Todoroki begins his talk, looking at his left hand. "So much so that I broke my pledge."

'Pledge?' Tanaka thinks, understandably confused as he and his green haired classmate make eye contact with each other before turning their collective gazes back to their dual-haired one.

"Iida, Kaminari, Yaoyorozu, Tokoyami, Uraraka," the dual-quirk user continues. "None of them felt it. But in that last instant, when we tried to go after the points that you took from us all Tanaka, I was the only one who was overpowered. Only me, who had experienced All Might's power up close."

"What...does...that...mean?" Midoriya slowly asks, uncertainty in his voice.

"It means I felt something similar coming from you, Midoriya."

While the green haired boy is scared out of his mind at the implications being given to him, the brunette next to him is a bit curious as to what the dual-haired teen is asking.

"Midoriya," Todoroki asks, a serious expression on his face. "Are you All Might's secret love child or something?"

'All Might's secret love child? Huh?' Tanaka thinks in his head. Turning his gaze toward Midoriya, who looks at him with big buggy eyes out of surprise from the question being asked.

"Where would you get that stupid idea from?" Tanaka questions, a bit annoyed as well as perplexed that his classmate would even ask something so ridiculous and nonsensical.

"Why else do you think that Midoriya and All Might's quirks are the same?" Todoroki answers. He turns back to the aforementioned boy. "Well, are you?"

"T-that's not it!" Midoriya replies. "I mean, even if it was, I would say I wasn't so I don't think you believe me. But anyway, that's not how it is."

"Why would you even think that was the case, anyway?" Tanaka asks.

"I have every reason to believe that there's a connection between the two," was the answer. "My old man is Endeavor, the number two hero. He's always had a strong desire to rise in the world. As a hero, he won a name for himself with crushing. Because of that, the living legend, All Might is a great eyesore to him. He could never hope to beat him on his own, so he moved onto his next plan."

Something about what was said just now didn't sit right with the shadow user, or even with the hero fanboy.

"Are you trying to tell us something, Todoroki?" Tanaka questions. Midoriya nods in agreement, wanting to know as well.

"You've both heard of quirk marriages, right?"

It was as the dual-haired boy asked that question that Tanaka and Midoriya look at each other before going back to him.

"Those arranged marriages that have been popping up in the 2nd and 3rd generations of quirks emerging?" the shadow user replies. "How could we not? That's one of the most controversial things to have ever happened in this country, and I think it served as a motivation for that quadruple murder case up in Hokkaido with that family that got gunned down in their sleep. The Yabōs, I think they were called."

"My father was working on that particular case," Todoroki brings up. "It was one of the few times that he was rattled to his core because that was what he was doing when he used his wealth and fame to win over my mother's relatives and get a hold of her quirk. His plan is to fulfill his own desires by raising me to be a hero to surpass All Might."

"I hate it! It's so annoying!" he continues. "I won't become a tool for scum like that."

"How did you get that scar on your face?" Tanaka then asks, a bit angrily. "Another one of his so-called 'training sessions'?"

Todoroki shakes his head. "He may be an abusive scumbag, but he's careful enough not to destroy his 'masterpiece' as he calls me," he explains. "This was done by my mother. In the memories I have of her, she's always crying. 'Your left side is unsightly,' she said, before pouring boiling water on my face."

As he says that, he brings a hand over the scar, while remembering everything that led up to the incident. Going through another one of his father's abusive sessions, before his mother yells at the latter stating that the boy's only five. Listening to his mother talking to hers on the phone. The expression on her face as she looks over to him before pouring the boiling water onto him. Hearing his mother apologize for what she had done, before trying to heal it with her quirk.

To see that Tanaka and Midoriya were worried when they heard what their classmate had just told them would be an understatement. In fact, they were both horrified after hearing that story. The latter of the two due to having no idea what his classmate has been going through in his childhood, and in some ways is way more horrific than what he went through when he was a kid. The former, on the other hand, can understand the kind of pain child abuse can inflict on someone. In some ways, it reminds him of what those wastes of human meat that were supposed to be his parents have put him through.

"Is that why you challenged the two of us?" Tanaka questions.

"Yes," Todoroki answers, seriously. "And I'll do it without using my damn old man's quirk. No... I'll reject him completely by winning first place without using it. I'll have denied him everything by doing so."

The shadow user walks up to the dual-quirk boy, before doing something that neither he nor Midoriya would expect. He gives the guy a sucker punch to the jaw, with enough force to knock him to the ground.

"Tanaka?! What would you do that for?!" Midoriya yells, worriedly.

"To show him what I think of his stupid little plan," Tanaka answers, annoyance being shown in his voice and face. "He's basically making fun of all of the hard work we put ourselves through by pulling this petty stunt of his, and I'm pretty sure someone like Bakugo would find that unfair if he got the chance to fight him."

"Petty stunt?" Todoroki growls out, hand on his jaw as he gets back up. "How could you possibly think that what I'm doing is petty? Did you not listen to what I have told you just now? You clearly don't have the slightest idea what my family has been through day in and day out!"

"At least you have one parent that loves you," he fires back.

Todoroki can only stand there, a stunned look on his scarred face as he heard what was just said. Midoriya does the same thing, with a stunned expression of his own.

"Your mother may have been responsible for giving you that scar," Tanaka continues. "But I know for a fact that she was just as much of a victim of the abuse you were put through. My parents, on the other hand? They didn't care about me one bit. You're not the only one here that has had to deal with something like that, but I know what you had to endure was as mess up as what happened to me. But there's no need to perform something like using only half of your strength while acting like such a jerk. You may say otherwise, but you are so much like your old man you just don't even know it yet. For all we know, you might've acted just like him to someone else without even thinking about it."

With that said, Tanaka walks away from the two boys. He hopes to make it to the cafeteria so that he could get something to eat after having a few minutes of his time wasted. Reaching the other end of the hallway, he turns to see that Bakugo is standing there near the corner. He must've heard everything that was said.

The moment they both make eye contact with each other, the brunette narrows his eyes at him in anger and disgust before breaking it and heading off toward the cafeteria. The ashen blonde, in the meantime, can only stand there where he is with only his own thoughts to keep him company.

Not wanting what he just heard to get to him, Bakugo heads back the way he came.

-A few minutes later-

"Did he seriously just tell you all of that?" Tora questions, a bit surprised as he, Kaeda and Tanaka head over to the cafeteria before lunch is over.

"Yeah," the brunette replies. "Don't know why he did that, but he thought it would be a good idea to tell me and Midoriya about what his family life was like. The fact that his father would do something like that to his own family kinda reminds me of my parents."

"Only difference being that his father did far worse things to his family by both physically and mentally abusing them," Kaeda brings up. "How exactly did he managed to get away with all of that?"

"I blame a certain organization we all know running things in hero society," Tora says, to which the other two boys nod in agreement.

As they round the corner, the three boys haven't noticed that a shockingly thin man was heading in their direction. By the time any of them even notice the man, the quirkless genius would've already bump into him almost causing the two of them to fall onto the ground.

"Oh, I'm so sorry about that sir," Kaeda apologizes profusely. "I should've paid attention to where I was going."

The thin man replies, "I-it's okay, young man. I'm sorry too. Got so caught up in my own thoughts that I wasn't aware of where I was for a minute there."

It was a good thing that no one was hurt.

"You'll have to excuse my friend here," Tanaka apologizes. "He tends to get a bit careless at times and doesn't pay attention to where he's going."

The skinny man dusts himself off before replying back, "I understand that. That happens to me all the time."

"Oh, where are my manners? My name's Keisuke Tanaka," Tanaka introduces himself to the man. "These are my friends, Asahi Tora and Aito Kaeda. Might I ask who you might be?"

"The name's Toshinori Yagi," the man introduces himself. "I'm All Might's secretary. I handle all of the paperwork at his hero agency while he's out there saving as many people as he can."

"What brings you to a place like this?" Tora questions the skinny man.

"Just thought I'd come and see the young heroes of tomorrow duke it out in the Sports Festival," Yagi responds. "I'm also a member of the faculty, in case you kids were wondering."

'Oh, so that was him,' the three Lotal natives collectively think, having wondered why he was in the halls whenever they walked past him.

"Would it be alright if you kids had a drink with me?"

"There is a vending machine not too far from here," Tora replies. "We can see if there's anything you'd like."

-A few minutes later, in an empty break room-

As the boys each drink from a specific soda brand that they've selected, Yagi drinks from a cup of coffee.

"Sure is nice of you to buys us drinks, Mr. Yagi," Tanaka says, grateful for the offer.

"Thank you, young man," Yagi replies, thankfully. "I just thought that with all of that running about in that Cavalry Battle, you three boys might need some energy back. I would try one myself, but as you can see that might not be possible."

Without warning, a bright flash of light envelops the room for only a brief second before dying down.

"What the heck was that?" Yagi questions, taken by surprise.

"That was my X-Ray Camera," the quirkless inventor answers, holding up what looks to be a camera the size of a tablet. It has silver as the main color, with streaks of black and red lining the sides. The camera has an orange-colored lens in the center, with a white light lens for the flash setting right on top of it.

"When in the world did you make that thing?" the skinny man asks.

"The day before the festival," was the answer. "I wanted to find a way to make it easier for doctors to get an X-ray at the scene of an emergency without moving them to a hospital. This could help make diagnoses easier and quicker for doctors and their patients."

'That's... actually rather useful,' Yagi points out mentally. The benefits of an X-ray being made portable for any and all medical personnel on the scene can be quite helpful.

"Hey guys, take a look at this," Kaeda says to the others.

The shadow user and pyrokinetic redhead turn their attention to their friend, whose attention is right on the screen of the camera with a worried expression on his face. They inch themselves closer to look at what he saw.

"What the heck happened to his lungs? And did his stomach get removed?" Tanaka questions aloud, a slightly disturbed and disgusted expression on his face as he examines the picture.

They all turn to look at Yagi, wanting to know what exactly made him like this.

"How did you lose a good portion of your insides?" Tora asks the skinny man.

Sighing in resignation, Yagi (who the kids don't know is really All Might) decides to tell them.

"I got caught up in a villain attack about six years back," Yagi explains (half-truthfully).

"Was that after he fought Toxic Chainsaw?" Tora asks.

"Doubt it," Tanaka answers his friend. "There's no way that guy could cause that much damage to Mr. Yagi. It must be someone else that nobody knows about."

"This villain was also extremely powerful," Yagi says. "All Might didn't want word of this fight to get out, on account of this adversary being one of the most dangerous this country has ever known. He was able to kill him on the spot, but at the cost of both of us getting injured in the process. I was the more critically injured."

"Does anybody else know about that battle?" Tanaka asks.

"Only a few," Yagi nods. "Aside from myself and those few others, you three are the only ones that know about it. And it's for the best that fewer people know about it, if you know what I mean."

The boys actually do. If word were to get out that there was a villain strong enough and capable enough to take on the Symbol of Peace (and perhaps even injure him), there would be mass panic all throughout the country. Everything that All Might has accomplished ever since his debut would all get flushed down the proverbial drain and the chaos of the "quirk emergence" period would be repeated.

"I have one honest question about All Might, Mr. Yagi," Kaeda then brings up.

This catches the thin man's attention, right as he's sipping his coffee.

"Does All Might secretly wear girls' underwear?" The quirkless genius asks.

Yagi spits out the coffee in a mixture of shock, befuddlement and just straight up bewilderment at the random question that was just asked. He gapes at the boy, blinking a few times to process what was asked before coming up with a response.

"N-no, All Might does not wear girls' underwear!" he stammers. "Where would you even come up with such a ridiculous question? That is highly inappropriate and should not even be asked at all!"

"Seriously Kaeda, why would you ask that question in the first place?" Tanaka chastised his friend.

The quirkless genius could only laugh like a hyena at the embarrassment Yagi was displaying for his boss, all the while his friends give him a look of disappointment and annoyance at him for even coming up with such a random question.

"Sorry, I just couldn't resist," Kaeda manages to get out through his laughter. "I just wanted to see how he'd react."

"If you'll excuse us, Mr. Yagi," Tanaka talks with Yagi, standing up along with the other two boys. "We may need to head over to the cafeteria to get something to eat. Thank you for your time."

"The pleasure is mine," Yagi replies. "I'm just glad we had this talk. And if there's one piece of advice for each of you kids, it would be this: Try to give it your all in the final round. Okay?"

As one, the three boys bow while saying "Thank you for your time." With that, they all leave before the lunch break is over.

-After lunchtime has ended-

"Now that lunch is over, it's finally time to reveal the last game!" Present Mic yelled over the speaker system. The lunch break seemed to have given him more energy, if that was possible. "But before that, there's good news for all of you who didn't make it to the finals! This is just a sports festival! So we've prepared recreational games that everyone can participate in too! We've even brought in real cheerleaders from America to liven things up!" He continued, before spotting the females in class 1-A also dressed as cheerleaders.

"What's the matter, Class A? What kind of fan service is this?" He asked.

"Mineta! Kaminari! You tricked us, didn't you?!" Yaoyorozu yells as the two boys in question gave each other a thumbs up.

But the joy wouldn't last long for those two, as they all of a sudden feel a major pain in their netherregions. Almost as if they were each punched there with a really strong fist. A resounding cracking sound can be heard throughout the entire stadium, silencing everyone. The two perverts stand as still as statues for about 4 seconds, right before they both fall face first onto the ground. It's then that the 1-A girls, along with everyone else, gets to see what could've been responsible for that.

Right where the two perverts were standing a few seconds ago were large fists made entirely of shadow popping out of the ground. The fists then go back through the misty portal they came from before disappearing.

The girls turn to see an angry Tanaka walking over to the two boys, grabbing them each by the hair so that they're both looking at him.

"I warned you," he growls at them. "You should've listened."

His black and red eyes then look up towards the members of the audience above the girls, specifically the ones that had their phones out. The audience members quickly delete whatever pictures of the girls they took before putting their phones away. They wouldn't want to have their precious organs literally punched into their bodies like what the two perverted dimwits had.

He then turns to his classmates, who are understandably taken by surprise at the action he pulled.

"I'm really sorry that you girls have had to go through that," Tanaka bows in apology to the girls.

"It's fine," Ashido responds. "We probably should've thought about what those two said. But we didn't."

The other girls murmur in agreement. Apparently, none of them thought it through.

"Why am I always caught up in Mineta's schemes?" Yaoyorozu asks, before dropping to the ground while Uraraka tries to comfort her and cheer her up.

"Those guys are so dumb!" Jirou says as she punched the air. "They obviously deserved far worse!"

"I can't help but agree with you!" Tanaka calls out to her. "But now is not the time for that!"

"Well, there's still time left, so I say we do it!" Hagakure exclaims. She starts jumping up and down, waving the poms poms in her hands high into the air.

"Toru, you like this don't you?" Asui asks the invisible girl.

"All right everyone! Let's have fun competing in the recreational games! When that's over, the 20 from the five teams that made it to the final round will duke it out torment style on-one!" Present Mic told everyone.

"Now let's draw lots for the brackets. Once the bracket is determined, we'll have the recreational games and then start! The 20 finalists can choose whether or not they want to participate in the recreation. I'm sure some of you will want to rest or save your strength." Midnight told the students. "Now the first-place team-" She started as she was walking to the team, before Ojiro interrupted her.

"Um, excuse me!" He said, raising his hand. "I'm withdrawing."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. After all, why would a finalist want to drop out?

"He's dropping out? Seriously?" Tanaka mutters.

"Ojiro why?" Midoriya asks.

"This is a rare chance for pros to see you!" Iida told him.

"I barely remember anything from the cavalry battle until almost the end. I think it was that guy's quirk." He said, nodding his head over to Shinso. "I know that this is a great and that its foolish to waste it. But everyone here competed by giving it their all! I can't be up there with everyone without knowing what really happened." Ojiro explained to his classmates.

"But Ojiro, I didn't really do anything either." Mina told him, not grasping why he was forfeiting.

"That's not it, I'm talking about my pride here. I can't! Also, why are you guys wearing cheerleader outfits?" He said, his question at the end effectively ruining the mood. And upsetting his female classmates.

"I'm Nirengeki Shoda from Class B" Someone else says. Turning to see what who it was, Tanaka saw it was another person from Shinso's team and he had also approached Midnight.

"I also withdraw for the same reason. Regardless of ability, don't you think it goes against the sports festival for those who didn't do anything to move to the final around?" He said.

"Poor guy," Tora remarks.

"Something about him you want me to know about?" Tanaka asks his friend.

"Remember what I said about Kendo being the class rep for 1-B?" the redhead asks. Tanaka nods. "Shoda happens to be the vice rep."

"What's his quirk?" Tanaka then asks, curious.

"Twin Impact," his friend answers. "If he lands a hit on something, he then makes a second impact to the target. The second impact becomes several times stronger."

"How very interesting," the brunette remarks.

"This is an unusual turn of events." Present Mic said, not even screaming. This shows how surprising this is even for him. "We'll have to see what the chief umpire Midnight has to say about this."

"Youthful talk like that is something I like!" Midnight said as she moved her whip around. "Shoda! Ojiro! I accept your withdraws! In that case, we'll have to move up two people from the sixth-place battle team." Midnight continued.

It was then that Ibara Shiozaki and Tetsutetsu from Class 1-B were chosen to replace Shoda and Ojiro. Of course, that still only makes about nineteen participants.

"Due to the fact that there's an odd number of participants, we've decided to have a few of the battles be 3-way battles," Midnight announces to the finalists. "This is the bracket based on the results of the drawing!"

The screen then changes to show which of the participants will be facing each other in round one. The results are as follows:

Izuku Midoriya vs Hitoshi Shinso

Shoto Todoroki vs Hanta Sero vs Asahi Tora

Denki Kaminari vs Ibara Shiozaki vs Keisuke Tanaka

Tenya Iida vs Mei Hatsume

Mina Ashido vs Yuga Aoyama vs Aito Kaeda

Fumikage Tokoyami vs Momo Yaoyorozu

Eijiro Kirishima vs Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu

Ochako Uraraka vs Katsuki Bakugo

"Looks like I'm in the first 3-way," Tanaka says. "And I'm up against Kaminari and... Ibara Shiozaki. Who's that?"

"That's Shiozaki over there," Tora points out for him. The redhead points to a girl with dark green eyes and green thorn-covered vines for hair standing to the side. If one were to look closely, they can see that a set of vines is done in the shape of a cross.

"Is her quirk related to those vines in her hair?" Tanaka asks.

"Yep," Tora answers. "She controls the vines in her hair to attack her opponents as well as defend herself. Lengthening them and detaching them at will are also what she does. Of course, one of the downsides is that her hair might need sunlight and water for them to grow back."

"Sounds good for taking down villains hiding in forested areas," the shadow user surmises.

"I should also mention that she's quite humble and a bit... on the religious side," Tora also remarks. An eyebrow raised in confusion from his friend is more than enough for him to move on.

"What about your opponent?" Tanaka asks, changing the subject.

"I'm in the second 3-way, with Todoroki and Sero," the redhead replies. "Something tells me the latter of the two might now make it to the next round."

From they both can see, it appears that Kaeda is in the last 3-way battle, with Aoyama and Ashido. The quirkless inventor can't help but be a bit excited at testing out his suit on those two. The aforementioned students can't help but feel a cold chill crawl up their respective spines.

While some of his classmates are participating in the recreation games to get people entertained, Tanaka and everyone else that opted out of participating would simply either sit in the stands or be elsewhere to try and psyche themselves up for the upcoming competition. Every now and then, his eyes would then go over to Cementoss as he sets up the arena for the final stage of the 1st year Sports Festival. From what he can see, the cement manipulator is trying to make sure that it's the perfect size for the event. And to be honest, he does admire the dedication the seasoned pro is putting into it.

It isn't long before the recreation games are finished at the exact same time the finishing touches of the arena were made. Everyone that participated in the games came back up to the stands, which has a barrier for each class, so that they can get to see the fights.

It won't be long now before the first match starts.

A/N: With that, I am finished with this chapter. I wanted to get this posted earlier, but circumstances like housework and such may have hampered by attempts at it. Not to mention that stupid writer's block I've been having. Luckily, I was able to prepare about a dozen or chapters in the near future should I ever decide to get mulitple ones posted at once.

Has anyone else ever done this before? On another topic, during the month-long gap between chapters 5 and 6 of this latest volume of my story, I was able to read the very last of the My Hero Academia manga. And I have to admit that I wasn't expecting it to end like that. Still felt a bit anticlimactic in some places, not to mention that the question of what Izuku's father even looks like or what he's been doing during the 8-year long gap in the epilogue hasn't even been answered whatsoever. Seriously Horikoshi, what the heck man!?

Anyways, I hope that everyone enjoys reading this as much I enjoyed writing it. Hope you have a great day reading this.

Thanks.
