Fatah D Astraf: Yup, Koda gets his chance to shine. And you're welcome.

Reader20448: There's at least a pervert that existed. Yup, everyone is mad at Izuku for making Koda terrifying. XD

Guest: ….I was, but you don't need to call me out like that.


UA Stadium

"Then, start!" Iida rushes toward Izuku with no hesitation, the engine on his legs roars as he rockets towards Izuku. Izuku widens his eyes a bit before his emerald eyes flash red and dodges the attack. Iida stops himself by widening his legs and sliding through the ground, turning around to face Izuku. Before Izuku could do anything, Sen already charges towards him with a punch but Izuku catches it by grabbing his wrist as his eyes flash red once more.

Activating Armament at the same time, Sen spins his limbs while Izuku keeps Sen from escaping. Iida charges at him once again, but Izuku uses this opportunity to use Sen as a weapon and slams his body at Iida, ruining the momentum Iida built up as they crashed.

"Holy shit! Midoriya was not playing around! He uses his opponent's body to beat his other opponent!" Present Mic exclaims. Sen and Iida immediately get up before looking at each other and nodding, causing Izuku to groan.

"You guys decided to gang up on me? That's not fair," Izuku points out.

"Sorry, Midoriya, but life is not fair," Iida says as he adjusts his glasses and flames coming out of the exhaust pipe.

"Besides, the alliance is merely temporary," Sen says with a grin. Izuku sighs before his hand glows blue, causing Sen and Iida to tense up, preparing what kind of element Izuku will pull. But, to their surprise, it was neither the one they saw. Izuku swings his arm and immediately, clouds of dust blasted towards them, covering the field.

"Oh, my god! It wasn't enough that he pulled crazy stunts using his elements, but he pulled another one!? What's other things he hid from us, folks!?" Present Mic exclaims as Izuku rushes towards the cloud of dust. "Wait, wait, wait, why is he rushing towards the cloud of dust!?"

"D-damn it," Sen exclaims before he feels his hair stand up and turns around to see a glimpse of green lightning before barely ducking from a punch. It was followed by a roundhouse kick on the side, which Sen barely blocked using Armament. He grits as he feels like getting hit by a speeding car before staggering backward and trying to defend against a flying kick on his chest, sending him even further. Sen was frustrated before spinning both of his limbs to create a wind vortex to create a cloud of dust. At first, the vortex seems to work, but Sen notices that the dust seems to gather in one place, getting thicker and thicker. Before he could do anything, Izuku suddenly appeared with his hand extended towards him, blue glows covering his palm.

Without giving the chance to react, Sen was covered in an ice cube as Izuku passed him, trapping the boy as he shivered. Izuku let out a sigh before turning around to see Iida standing in front of him, giving the boy a determined glare as the dust slowly cleared away. Iida turns on the engine on his leg once more and charges at Izuku, but Izuku dodges away before Iida follows up with a flurry of kicks.

Sen tries to break free from the ice by rotating one of the limbs to shave off the ice around his body, which works as it starts to crack. Iida increases the power of the engine of his leg, making his kick more deadly as it manages to land on Izuku. Izuku grits his teeth, thankful that he activated Armament on time, but the impact still hurts Izuku's legs as Iida uses his own Armament with that kick. Iida increased the engine power and Izuku felt like he was pressed by a heavy hammer. Izuku increases his OFA percentage to match the power but Sen manages to land a blow on Izuku with a gyrate-powered punch on his side, knocking him for a few feet.

Izuku let out a wince as he looks at his torn shirt and bruises on his body. He takes a deep breath as Sen and Iida charge at him. Izuku dodges the attack from Iida before dodging another attack from Sen, but before Izuku can retaliate, Iida goes back and tries to hit him again while Sen follows with one of his own. Both were relentless in their assault as they refused to give Izuku any chance to retaliate, given how Izuku immediately took advantage of it and Sen almost lost. Iida goes for another powerful kick and Sen goes for a spiraling blow, which Izuku blocks using his arms coated with Armament and grabs them. Before they could react, Izuku used the kinetic energy gathered from moving and dodging the attack on his leg and unleashed Fa Jin to create a small tremor, knocking both opponents off balance.

Using that chance, Izuku opens his palm and delivers two air cannons using OFA and Gearshift, the wind generated from the raw power of OFA and the increased speed from Gearshift send the two of his opponents fly out of bounds without giving them a chance to fight back.

"Sen Kaibara and Tenya Iida are out of bound! The winner of the match is Izuku Midoriya!" Izuku let out a wince as the bruises on his wrists and his side started acting up before Izuku took a deep breath.

"And what a spectacle to behold! We all believed Midoriya was over when he was jumped by his opponents, but he managed to turn things around and take the victory!" Present Mic exclaims loudly as the spectators cheer. Izuku winces when he hears his mother and Hackmon cheer them the loudest. How they were able to outperform an entire stadium full of spectators in a booth surrounded by glass windows, he would never know. Izuku looked towards Sen and Iida who were groaning in pain from the last attack, and approached them before offering a helping hand, which they accepted.

"You guys were amazing. That was one of the hardest fights I ever had." Izuku says honestly.

"You flatter me, Midoriya," Iida says while adjusting his glasses.

"Yeah, I doubt we're even a challenge," Sen says.

"I think the bruises you guys give me despite I'm using Armament speaks volumes," Izuku says dryly while showing the bruises, making them wince.

"Sorry," Both apologizes.

"Hey, come on. You guys give it your all, so don't worry about it." Izuku laughed it off.

"But, it wasn't enough," Iida says, slightly disappointed by his loss.

"Well, then use this as a chance to improve yourself. If you still feel lacking, then train yourself to get stronger. That's what I always did whenever I train with Gran Torino, although I still wasn't able to beat that geezer." The trio shivered in fear before they simultaneously chuckled good-naturedly.

"What a sportsmanship behavior! We rarely saw this in the history of Sports Festival!" Present Mic exclaims.

"Given how obsessed people are with rankings, it's no surprise." Izuku sweatdrops as Aizawa casually calls every hero out. They both walk out of the stadium together, and in their path, they see a figure in a sleek silver/white armor with a black skintight suit underneath it, less bulky than Tenya's hero costume and less engine aesthetic, and a notable 'ING' logo on the left shoulder-pad.

"T-Tensei-nii-san!?" Tenya looks at the figure in surprise as the figure, Tensei, lets out a chuckle before taking off his helmet. "N-not that I mind, but why are you here!? Don't you have work!?"

"What? I can't take a break to cheer for my brother in Japan's greatest event?" Tensei says with a grin as Tenya splutters. "Nah, don't take it seriously. Also, I…may have a certain birdy convincing me to come, so that's a plus." Tensei subtly glances at Izuku, which doesn't go unnoticed by Tenya as he looks at Izuku in surprise.

"I'll let you guys talk alone," Izuku says while patting Tenya's shoulder before walking away with Sen. Izuku knows that Tensei will fall victim at the hands of Stain, the Hero Killer while patrolling at Hosu, and given how many changes there are in the timelines, he would rather not risk having Tensei end up dead like in some dark time travel fanfics.

So, when Tenya invites everyone to his home for dinner at the request of his parents and Tensei, Izuku takes the chance to talk to Tensei and successfully convinces Tensei to go to the Sports Festival to cheer for Tenya. At first, Tensei refuses since he believes Iida doesn't need one as Tenya knows how his brother understands. But, Izuku uses his experience of having siblings to convince him more, stating how Tenya understands Tensei being unavailable doesn't mean he likes it, and being a big brother, he should've been there to support his brother, which successfully convinces the older brother.

"Good job, lil bro," Tensei says while petting his shoulders. "You did amazing, in every round! I couldn't be prouder!"

"But…I lost," Iida says dejectedly, feeling like he disappointed his brother.

"Tenya, when I was in my first year, I didn't even pass through the second round. And in my second year, I failed once again." Tensei says, shocking Tenya.

"B-but how?! You're an amazing hero!" Tenya exclaims in disbelief.

"And every hero must start from somewhere," Tensei says. "Losing sucks, I get it, I went through it as well. But, don't let it dishearten you, use it as an experience to get better. You can achieve a lot of great things by learning from your failure."

"Midoriya said similar things," Iida says.

"Well, you should listen to your friend. He's a wise kid," Tensei says as Iida lowers his head and his body shakes.

"I….I was hoping I could've done more…I want to make you guys proud….and the Sports Festival was my chance…s-showing you that I…I…b-but, I lost….I…." Tenya says as a tear escapes his eyes. Tensei smiles softly before hugging Tenya.

"You already did make me proud, little brother. What matters is that you show how much you improved and give it your all in that fight, and I couldn't be prouder." Tensei says as Tenya sobs and hugs his brother back.

'I owe you one, kid.' Tensei took a peek at Izuku's retreating form and smiled gratefully.

In the infirmary

"Oh, that feels much better," Izuku sighs before letting out a yawn, his bruises fully healed thanks to Recovery Girl.

"I am glad that you at least keep your injuries minimum," Recovery Girl let out a sigh. "When I first got noticed about your quirk, I was concerned you might injure yourself given how inexperienced you are with your quirk."

"Well, I'm glad I didn't make you worried." Izuku sighs before getting smacked. "Ouch, what was that for, lady!?"

"Are you that clueless, or are you sustaining brain injury!?" Recovery Girl shouts. "I still haven't forgotten how many injuries you got from practicing Gearshift!"

"W-well, I already managed to keep my injuries to a minimum!" Izuku says trying to defend himself.

"You did….but that doesn't mean I'm not mad for what you did before!" Recovery Girl exclaims. "8 second-degree burns and 5 frostbites under a month! You're super lucky you didn't lose your motor function on your hand!"

"… Okay, that's bad," Izuku winces.

"Of course it's bad!" Recovery Girl let out a sigh. Despite becoming younger due to Eri's quirk accident, she felt like she had shaved another decade of her lifetime.

"….8 burns and 5 frostbite…" Sen looks at Izuku in utter disbelief.

"What? Do you think I just came up with the idea and managed to use it perfectly? I'm not some kind of OP Isekai character!" Izuku says with a raised eyebrow.

'Um, you kinda are. I mean, you activate Singularity just by consuming OFA and gain access to the quirk in less than 10 minutes. Then, the way you use Full Cowl.' Yoichi points out.

'…I hate you,' Izuku grumbles

'What did I do!?' Yoichi exclaims in disbelief.

"Given how you easily win everything, you seem like one. Except for the isekai part," Sen says nervously as Izuku stares blankly at the boy.

"OP my ass. If he's OP, he wouldn't get to the infirmary multiple times. He would've shrugged off all injuries." Recovery Girl deadpanned as Izuku felt like he was getting slapped, those words were a powerful blow to his pride. Thankfully, he was saved by the announcement of the next fight.

"On one side, we have the girl with mastery over martial arts and a quirk perfect to deliver bitchslap for every degenerate who tries to mess with her! Equip with leadership and responsibility, she's a great class representative for her class! Give it to Itsuka Kendo of Class 1-B!" Izuku sweatdrops at Present Mic's choice of words while Recovery Girl groans in disbelief.

"That idiot. Did he forget kids might watch this since the event is aired throughout all of Japan?!" Recovery Girl sighs in exasperation while Sen laughs.

"On another side, we have the boy who looks like a ninja incarnate! He has mastery over several weapons and his quirk complements perfectly with his skill, not to mention he seems to have the experience to match! Although, we have no idea where he got it. Give it up to Hanzo Hasashi of Class 1-A!" The camera shows Hanzo walking to the arena. If anyone looked closer, they could see Hanzo looking very nervous while sweating profusely.

"And from the other, other side! We have the gym enthusiast who also has a sweet tooth! You will never see him without any type of sweets with him! But don't let it fool you because he has the strength to beat anyone who messes with him! Give it to Rikidou Sato of Class 1-D!" Sato walks towards the arena nervously, gripping his fist tightly. Given he's facing two hero students who passed the exam and trained vigorously, he has every right to be nervous.

"Hanzo is gonna win this," Izuku says before lying down on the bed.

"Don't you think you underestimate my class Representative and Satou?" Sen asks while raising his eyebrow.

"I didn't. The reason I believe so is because like Present Mic said, he had the experience." Izuku points out. "He will pull a win, I can assure you."

True to Izuku's prediction, Hanzo managed to win the fight by using Kendo's and Sato's superior strength against themselves before tying them up using his chain and sending them out of bounds. Sen let out a disappointed sigh before muttering 'thank god I didn't bet with him', causing Izuku to snort before getting up.

"Well, I should go back to meet the rest," Izuku says before looking at Recovery Girl. "Am I safe to leave?"

"Yes," RG grumbles in annoyance as Izuku winces before giving the old lady an apologetic look and hastily leaves. When he returns to his seat, everyone starts congratulating him. Izuku looked around and noticed that Tenya wasn't there before he felt someone on his back. He turns to see Tenya and before he can react, Tenya pulls him into a hug, surprising Izuku.

"Thanks for convincing Tensei-Nissan to come," Tenya says earnestly, making Izuku smile and patting his back.

"No need. Tensei-san is a good brother himself. I'm sure he'll come," He says trying to downplay his actions. Besides, he didn't want to sound like he was saying Tensei was a bad brother.

"But, still, thanks. Besides, Tensei-Niisan asks me to thank you," Tenya says as Izuku sweatdrops. "Now, let us watch our friend in battle." Everyone merely nods as the next match starts.

"On one side, we have the mistress of Gravity who could change the law of physics itself and make Isaac Newton roll in his grave!" Izuku smacked his forehead loudly before it was followed up with a loud yelp. "S-sorry, I mean the mistress of Gravity who changes the law of physics itself and leaves every scientist scratching their head wondering how is it possible! She didn't stand out much during the second round thanks to her teammates, but don't look down on her, or else you'll get sent to the stratosphere! Give it to Ochako Uraraka of Class 1-A!"

"Yeah, go Uraraka!" Class 1A all cheered for their classmates.

"On the other side, we have the leader of the General Department Course. Like an army general, she leads her team efficiently to the final round! The brains of the operation behind students of the General Department Course winning each round! Give it a huge applause to Togeike Chikuchi of Class 1-C!" The crowd cheers loudly as Togeike walks towards the arena with a bashful expression, not expecting such crowds.

"And next, we have the beast who has torn through every obstacle and rendered them obsolete, having the smarts that rival his strength like our resident's Goliath!" Izuku's eyes twitch, hoping the nickname won't stick. "The strength and skills that made him a perfect predator! Let's give it to Jurota Shishida of Class 1-B!" The crowd cheers loudly as Shishida approaches the arena, adjusting his glasses with a calculating look.

"Well, this is gonna be challenging," Togeike comments as she stretches herself. "I'm immediately against two hero students in my first fight."

"One thing for sure, I ain't going to underestimate you just because you're not from Hero Course," Ochako says.

"Indeed, and not to mention, you had never revealed your quirk, which made you more unpredictable," Shishida says as Togeike smirks.

"Well, it's nice you guys take me seriously, but I think that just made my fight harder," Togeike says.

"Of course, we're planning to win as well," Ochako says as she takes a stance.

"You all know the rules by now, right?" Snipe says as they all nod. "Well, then. Begin!"

Without any seconds waste, Togeike throws away two seeds towards the duo and in an instant, vines sprout out and try to bind them. Ochako's Observation picks up her intent and successfully dodges, while Shishida is wrapped but he immediately breaks free from it with his raw strength. Togeike clicks her tongue before grabbing a seed as it grows into a gauntlet around her arm and tries to hit Ochako, who dodges and attempts to grab her arm. Togeike immediately pulls her arm out of the gauntlet, making Ochako only able to use her quirk on the gauntlet.

Shishida grows larger and hairier before roaring and charging at Togeike, but she uses her quirk on more seeds and tosses them under Shishida before large sprouts burst from the ground and send Shishida up. Ochako rushes towards Togeike and strikes a few blows on Togeiki fluidly, knocking her back. Ochako continues to charge at her, but Togeike pulls out a seed and summons a wooden shield to protect from Ochako's strike.

"How are you not in Hero Course? Your quirk should've been able to get you passed the exam?" Ochako asks, looking puzzled.

"Unfortunately, a certain Pomeranian keeps blowing and burning my plants." Togeike scowls. "Not to mention, the robots already made my plants less effective."

"Oh, that bully," Ochako says in a dry tone.

"Yeah, that bully…" Togeike paused. "Did he happen to bully your boyfriend?"

"B-B-boyfriend!? W-who are you-!?" Ochako stammers before Togeike knocks her back with a shield bash. "Ow! Okay, that was a cheap trick!"

"I had to! I need to go all-out against you two or else-!" Suddenly, they notice the sky getting darker and immediately jump back as Shishida lands, creating mini tremors. Ochako and Togeike look at each other and nod before Ochako uses her chance to float before Togeike tosses another seed toward the ground. In an instant, huge tree trunks sprout out and push Shishida away. The moment they're out of bounds, Ochako lets go of her quirk, causing him to fall.

"Jurota Shishida is out of bounds!" Ochako let out a sigh before she jumped away from Togeike's wooden sword, who gave her a challenging smirk. Ochako smirks back at the girl.

"May the best fighter win," Ochako says before rushing towards Togeike as she uses her shield to protect herself and she follows with a straight jab. Ochako's observation allows her to dodge the strike before pulling a similar move from Izuku, judo-flipping the girl onto the ground with a loud slam. Before Togeike recovers, Ochako takes the shield away and uses her sword to point at her throat. "Give up,"

"….I give up," Togeike says with a sigh before smiling.

"Togeike Chikuchi has forfeited the match. The winner is Ochako Uraraka!" The crowd cheers for Ochako as she lends a hand to Togeike, which she accepts.

"You're awesome," Ochako says with a laugh while helping Togeike up. "Let's hope we get the chance to fight again. Maybe a spar? Huh, now that I think about it, we never got to spar with each other."

"If it's not for us joining the same club, I would never know how enthusiastic you are with sparring." Togeike chuckles.

"A-ah, sorry. I get ahead of myself. I never expect to have fun during sparring until I experience myself," Ochako says before an intense aura covers her entire body. "It was….enlighting…"

"Haha….sure, why not," Togeike says while chuckling nervously. "Anyways, I should go back with the others. See ya." With that, Togeike walks off the arena as Shishida groans in the distance before walking out while sulking. As Togeike walks out, she looks for a corner before she collapses to the ground, letting out a sigh as she covers her eyes with her hands.

"Damn it…" Togeike whispered, a hint of frustration in her voice. She thinks she might screw her chance to get to the Hero Course. She was at first confident in her skills and believed in her classmate's strength, but after seeing Sato soundly beaten by Hanzo along with Kendo, a seed of doubt started to form inside her. She tries not to be disheartened after seeing her friend lose, but she starts to lose hope after her fight.

She made sure to not show how she felt about the result of the battle. She can't blame Ochako for doing her best as her pride didn't allow her to fight anyone when they're not at their best. Ochako won fair and square, and it was her fault for lacking in skills, which led to her loss. She looks up and sees the television as the next match goes to Eijirou vs Honenuki vs Shugo.

'Wish you luck, Shugo…' Togeike thought as she silently cheered for her friend, wishing that at least one of her friends managed to get to the hero course.

"On one side, we have the chivalrous red knight with the durability of steel and the heart of gold! He is willing to shield his friend from any attack and can dish out quite a lot of damage to opponents! Give it up to Eijirou Kirishima of Class 1-A!" Eijirou walks towards the arena with a large grin while waving at the cheering crowds.

"On the next side, we have the man who can create quicksands to trap people or even swim on the land! A bizarre yet unique skill he has! Let's give applause to Juzo Honenuki of Class 1-B!" A messy ash-blond-haired boy with no lips walks towards the arena.

"At least give me a better introduction…" Juzo says in a deadpan manner.

"And next, we have a man with unique hair and strength! Working together alongside his fellow General Department Course students, he managed to get into the finals! Let us give it to Shugo Kyouriki of Class 1-C!" Shugo walks out while waving at the cheering crowds with both of his arms happily.

"Wow, to think we get a lot of General Department Course students in finals these years!" The three boys face each other with a determined expression, neither of them was planning to lose the match.

"Surely, I do not need to explain the rules now, right?" They all nod as Snipe raises his hands. "All right, then. Begin!"

Juzo immediately slams his palm on the ground and softens the ground, creating a makeshift quicksand that swallows Eijirou and Shugo slowly. Eijirou grits his teeth before activating Armament and moves, causing the ground to shatter despite the fact it is soft. Juzo blinks dumbly at the scene as he is overwhelmed by the incredulousness of the scene.

"Okay, that's just bullshit…" Juzo mutters as Eijirou rushes towards him while shattering the ground on the path. Juzo immediately sinks himself to dodge Eijirou's attack as he starts to swim around and grabs Shugo, but it is a mistake as he is grabbed by Shugo who is also able to use Armament before getting yanked out of the ground and tossed out of the bound.

"...Juzo Honenuki is out of bounds," Snipe blankly stated as everyone was unsure how to react to the anticlimactic fate of one Juzo Honenuki.

"….Haki is straight-up bullshit," Juzo says in a deadpan manner as he lies on the ground. Eijirou notices the ground loses its softness before it hardens, using his quirk and Haki, he breaks out and is followed by Shugo.

"Sorry, man. But, I gotta win the match," Shugo says before coating his arms with Haki and charging at Eijirou, who blocks it with his own combined with his quirk, causing Shugo to wince.

"Yeah, so do I, bro," Eijirou says before delivering a jab, which Shugo dodges before he tries to retaliate with an uppercut on the side, but is met with another brick wall. Shugo grits his teeth, noticing his attack didn't budge Eijirou at all. Eijirou rushes before tackling Shugo, knocking the boy back, and followed up with a kick, knocking Shugo even further.

"Oh, my, it seems that Kyouriki's attack didn't budge Kirishima at all! The boy truly fights against immovable objects!" Present Mic exclaims.

"Damn it, nothing I did could budge him," Shugo mutters in frustration before he uses his quirk, pumping blood twice the speed to increase the oxygen supply on his muscle, causing his body to turn red as steams coming out of his body. Then, he suddenly disappears before reappearing in front of Eijirou and delivering a devastating blow that knocks the red-haired boy back by a few feet.

'W-what the-!?' Eijirou wasn't given a chance to move as Shugo relentlessly delivered more devastating blows, each of them felt like getting hit by a truck.

"Holy cow! The tide has turned! Now it's Kirishima who is stuck! How is he gonna escape the relentless assault of unstoppable force!?" Present Mic screams.

'I gotta win this! I gotta win this! For Togeike! For Sato!' Shugo mentally screams to himself as he relentlessly punches Eijirou, who's trying to endure each hit. He can feel the pain from each blow despite his quirk and Armament, trying to focus on how to escape from the assault.

'Observation! But….I am still only able to do it unconsciously…' Eijirou thought as he was unable to focus from the constant assault. Using every bit of his willpower, he tried to focus and used all of his senses to detect an opening through Shugo's intent. At the same time, Shugo's relentless assault starts to slow down a bit, which Eijirou takes the chance to use and delivers a powerful punch on the chest, causing Shugo to stagger as his body stops steaming and his skin slowly loses the redness.

'Now!' Eijirou grits his teeth before delivering a double punch on Shugo, knocking him back again and Shugo cannot use his quirk due to losing a lot of oxygen. Eijirou notices that Shugo is now a sitting duck and finishes him. Shugo desperately tries to move his muscles but to no avail, as the inevitable comes.

"Shugo Kyouriki is out of bounds, the winner is Eijirou Kirishima!" Snipe calls as everyone cheers loudly. Shugo could not do anything, merely let out heavy breaths before closing his eyes, unable to bear the shame.

"Hey…" Shugo opens his eyes before looking at Eijirou extending a helping hand. "That was a great fight…." Shugo looks at Eijirou before his eyes burst out manly tears and grabs Eijirou's hand with a shaky grin.

To be continued
