On the next day, the school was temporarily closed to give students time to recover after the incident. Izuku's mother had expressed her concern for her son and had him spend the entire day with her, along with Kyouka.

<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

On the next morning, Izuku and Kyouka went to school. Now, here they were, sitting and waiting for the teacher to enter the classroom. But here's the question... Isn't Aizawa too injured? If so, who will be teaching them?!

Izuku/Kyouka: 'Wait... All Might/who the heck is going to teach us?!'
-They both thought at the same time-

Kyouka: Hey, Green.
-Izuku looks at her-
Who do you think will be teaching us?

Izuku: I'm pretty sure that-

Kyouka didn't know why Izuku had stopped talking; she decided to follow his gaze and found...

Aizawa: Good morning.

1-A: Aizawa - sensei, you're back early!

Kaminari: You're too professional!

Iida: Sensei, are you okay?!
-Iida asked as Aizawa walked to his desk.-

Aizawa: My well-being doesn't matter.
-He said, looking up so that his eyes could see through the bandages-
 More importantly, your fight is not over.

Bakugou: Fight?
-He didn't seem interested-

Kaminari: It can't be...
-He said, worried-

Mineta: More villains?!
-He said, crying in a comedic way-

Aizawa: The U.A. Sports Festival is approaching.
-Aizawa said. The students were quite confused, both by how commonplace it was and how they would have the Sports Festival right after a villain attack. Wasn't that a bad idea?-
Before asking if this is a good idea, it is necessary to demonstrate that UA's crisis management protocols are solid. That's the apparent thought process.
-He didn't like the idea, but it was to show that UA could defend its students.-
Compared to previous years, there will be five times more police presence. Anyway, our Sports Festival is the biggest opportunity you'll have. It's not an event that can be canceled because of villains.

Mineta asked if it was that important, just to show that the students were safe within UA. It was understandable that he was worried; they had just fought real villains.

Aizawa: Our Sports Festival is one of the biggest events in Japan. The Olympics used to be the world's Sports Festival. The whole country would go crazy for them. But, as you know, that tradition has shrunk in scale to a shell of its former self. And now, for Japan, what has taken the place of the Olympics is the U.A. Sports Festival.

Aizawa's explanation of the Sports Festival began to somewhat excite the students. This was their chance to showcase themselves and be observed as future heroes.

Izuku was thinking about how he needed to stand out for the Sports Festival. It wasn't something he could procrastinate on, and he quickly realized he needed to work on improving control over his new quirk in 3 weeks.

Kyouka: Hey, Izuku?
-Suddenly he heard Kyouka's voice and turned to her-
Let's get going.

Izuku: Sure, let's go.
 -He replied, getting up.-

As Izuku, Kyouka, Iida, and Uraraka headed to lunch, they began discussing the Sports Festival. They uncovered important information about some of their classmates, like Uraraka's motivation and why she wants to become a hero. It's to earn money to help her parents live an easier life due to their current living conditions and not getting any jobs from their construction company.

When everyone was applauding their classmates, All Might was able to appear

All Might: Oh, here you are, Midoriya, my boy! Would you like to... have lunch with me?

Kyouka/Uraraka: You sound like a girl!
-They both said, laughing.-

Izuku: Sure.

<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Kyouka: What does he want from Izuku?
-She asks, quite curious about it.-

Iida: We heard that he jumped in front when All Might was about to be attacked. It must be because of that.
-He says, while Uraraka nods.-

Uraraka: It's also like Tsuyu said! Their strengths are similar. Maybe he's interested in Midoriya.

Kyouka: Right... Could that really be it?

What they didn't know was that someone was listening to the conversation.

Todoroki: 'Midoriya and everyone can...'

<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Izuku: One hour?
-He was looking at All Might in shock.-

All Might: Yes... That's my time limit, the more time passes, the shorter it gets. But it's okay. What I really need to talk to you about is the Sports Festival. To be honest, I don't have much time left to keep up as the Symbol of Peace.
-All Might said.-
I need you, the next All Might - no, the next Symbol of Peace, to tell the world 'I AM HERE!'

Izuku looked at All Might and nodded determinedly. He would make sure to let the world know that he was there to be the next number one. He would declare that he was there.

<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Izuku sighed as the final bell rang; at least the school day was over.

Kyoka: So, what are we going to do for our training?
 -She said, and Izuku began to think.-

Izuku: Do you want to try my training regimen from before UA?
-He innocently asked her.-

Kyoka lost color and started trembling, remembering Izuku's training before UA.

Kyoka: C-certainly not! H-how did you manage to do that?
-She questioned as the group of friends, along with the rest of Class 1-A, headed to leave the classroom.-

Unfortunately, before Izuku could give an answer, the classroom door was opened, and there was a horde of students outside, chatting among themselves.

Uraraka: What is this?!
-She exclaimed in surprise.-

Mineta: They're blocking our way out! Why are they all here?
-Mineta spoke as Bakugou casually passed by him.-

Bakugou: They're watching the competition, idiot.
-He said as he walked to the front of the crowd.
Get out of the way, extras!
-Bakugou growled, trying to exit the classroom.

A tall boy with purple hair stepped forward from the crowd, looking at the grayish-blond in front of him.

??????: I really came to see the people here, but I didn't think there would be an arrogant guy like you. Are all Class 1-A students like this?
-He questioned, rubbing the back of his neck.-

Izuku: No, it's just him.
 -Izuku said, his expression neutral as he looked at the boy in front of him.-

??????: Oh, and who might you be?

Izuku: Izuku Midoriya.
-He said, waiting for a handshake.-

The purple-haired boy looked at Izuku's hand and gave it a light tap.

??????: That's unnecessary. I'm not here to make friends.

Izuku: That was unnecessary...
-He muttered and then sighed.-
So, speak up about why you're here.

The purple-haired boy then began to explain how there were students who didn't make it into the hero course and how the results of the sports festival could get them transferred.

??????: For a general studies kid like me, this will be the perfect chance to knock you off your pedestals. Consider this a declaration of war.

Izuku: You talk as much nonsense as Bakugou.
-He said, as the boy was about to respond, Izuku interrupted.- 
I admit the exam isn't fair for everyone, but that's no excuse not to try. You've only worked on your quirk, right? What about your body? Look at yourself. If you're going to declare war, be really prepared to do it because if you don't try, you're just complaining.
-He said, the purple-haired boy gave an irritated look to Izuku, who looked back at him.

-Izuku looked back.-
Let's go, Kyouka.

He said, snapping her out of her thoughts.

Kyouka: S-sure.
-She said, running to his side.-

The students cleared the way for them to pass, but before leaving, Izuku looked at the boy and said.

Izuku: Regarding your declaration of war, we accept.

With that, Izuku and Kyouka left the area. The purple-haired boy looked in Izuku's direction and pondered his words.

??????: 'Izuku Midoriya... I will defeat you.'
 -He thought, with a clenched fist. He also forgot about the rest of the class.-

<<<<<<<< Dagobah Beach >>>>>>>>>> 

Kyouka: Damn... Shit...
-Kyouka was on the ground, panting from exhaustion. She had been doing Izuku's exercises for several hours, but hers were supposed to be easier, even though she couldn't feel her arms and legs.-

Izuku: Too much?

Kyouka: Are you planning to... break my arms... I'm sorry, but... I'm just a mortal...
-She was still panting.-

Izuku: Well, we can stop the training and relax here on the beach.
-He flopped down on the sand next to Kyouka.-

Kyouka: This sports festival is going to be tough... Green. Do you think they allow... doubles...? -She said, turning her head to look at Izuku.-

Izuku: Hm, there's nothing in the rules about that. If we do, we'll leave our classmates in the dust.
-Kyouka chuckled at his choice of words; if it were up to her, she would have said
'kicking their asses.'-

Kyouka: Of course, I wouldn't ask for a better outcome.
-She gave a small smile to Izuku, who felt his heart race and his cheeks warm.-

Suddenly, both Kyouka's and Izuku's phones started ringing. They had been training for so long that they didn't realize it was already getting dark. They both answered at the same time.

Izuku: U-um, I'm training with Kyouka, Mom.
-He said, a bit nervous.-

Kyouka: I'm training with Izuku, old man. -She said, expressionless.-

Kyoutoku/Inko: Do you two know what time it is?! It's already 5:50!

Izuku/Kyouka: ...Eh?

Kyoutoku/Inko: Come home soon, Kyouka/Izuku!
-They demanded, hanging up immediately.-

Kyouka: Let's go, nerd.

Izuku: Yeah, emo rocker.

<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The duo stood on the sidewalk in front of Kyouka's house. She was still by his side, and Kyouka turned to Izuku.

Kyouka: Thanks, Izuku. You'd better head home before Inko-san floods the area.

Izuku: Yeah.
-He nods.-
See you tomorrow, Kyouka.

Kyouka: See you tomorrow, Green.

<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Izuku was walking home, contemplating how to train his quirk. He would need to ask Kyouka to use her quirk to help him practice evasion. In any case, he felt a small collision to his left as he passed through an alley.

Looking down, he saw a little girl in tattered clothes with dirty bandages on her arms. She also had a single horn on her forehead.

Izuku: I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?
-He extended his hand towards the girl who began to tremble.-
Can't you get up? Are you okay?
-He asked, concerned. He helped her stand, but he felt her trembling.

Izuku: 'She's shaking.'

As he was trying to push aside the worst possible thought, his danger sense (quirk) activated, instantly putting him on alert.

????????: Eri, you shouldn't be running. You don't want to cause trouble for others, do you?
 -The person emerging from the alley was the same one that triggered his danger sense.-
