8:10 A.M. || Mustafu, Japan || U.A. High School - Sports Festival Stadium

The Sports Festival. It was finally here. Crowds were hyping up and students were shaking with anticipation or nervousness. This wasn't just any old competition; this was proving ground. And everyone has something they want to prove.

Midroiya reminded himself of this as he stood in the crowd of students.

1 winner. Over 100 losers.

And no one wants to be a loser.

8:24 A.M. || Mustafu, Japan || Dango Shop

He couldn't wrap his head around it. Her boss stared at her in utter confusion. Her co-workers stared at her in utter confusion. The customers stared at her in utter confusion.

"Please enjoy your food." Y/N told a customer politely as she handed them their sticks of dango. Her boss walked up to her.

"Y/N...?"

"Yes, sir?" She asked turning over to him with her dull expression.

"Um... don't you have school today?" Her asked with a kind expression.

"No, sir. It's Saturday."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Did you sleep well, sir?"

"DID YOU?!" He sighed and looked up at her with a worried expression. "Y/N, sweetheart, today is Tuesday."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"!!!"

8:45 A.M. || Mustafu, Japan || U.A. High School - Class 1-C

Y/N rushed down the halls. If she didn't hurry, she was going to be counted absent! That can't happen! She kicked open the door of Class 1-C. 

"I apolog-"

No classmates. No teacher. No one.

Just chairs and desks.

"..."

She turned to the hallways. No one was there. She puffed out her cheeks in annoyance. 

She knew it was Saturday!

She turned away from the classroom, but stopped when she saw a flyer on the board.

Sports Festival! This Tuesday! Make sure to wear your sports uniform!

"..."

She stand corrected.

8:49 A.M. || Mustafu, Japan || U.A High School - Sports Festival Stadium

Y/N skidded around the corner, carrying Witchcraft on her back. She's going to be counted absent for this event! She barely had enough time to change AND get Witchcraft from Lucia's house. She scanned the area and saw a trail of blue and white rush forward.

They were all heading to the same direction. Is that where the teachers are? She needs to let her teacher know she's present!

She headed after them, only to be confronted by a robot towering above her. She looked at it with a dull expression.

"Please step aside, I am in a hurry." She told it, politely. Ignoring her request, it lifted it's foot, ready to stomp the girl, who didn't even move. It forced it's foot down harshly, mercilessly.

In a perfect world, it would've crushed her.

Too bad this world isn't perfect.

All the robot's foot got was big, white ax sticking out it's foot with wires popping out. It was like stepping on a upside down tac or staple. The thing stood there frozen and Y/N wasted no time slicing it in half.

Hmph. She told it to step aside.

Out of the corner of her eye, a certain green haired boy was scrambling to shield himself from a charging robot. 

"Midoriya, sir."

TOSS.

Midoriya opened his frantically closed eyes to see no robot ahead, but a white pole sticking up. He lowered his shield for a better vi-

An ax?

A white ax was sticking out the robot's head as it had sliced its head in half--the force of the throw must've took it down. Midoriya stared at it confusedly. Where did that ax come from? Hey, doesn't it look familiar-

"Please be more careful, Midoriya, sir." He jumped at the sound Y/N's voice who sped past him, grabbing her ax on the way. 

"Wha-- Y/N?! Hey, wait!"

She was already gone. She couldn't waste any time. She can't be counted absent. An absence will ruin her perfect attendance. She already has one absence from the USJ incident! She can't have two!

She dashed threw the open field, ignoring any other robots that stood in her way. They weren't worth her time. She ran threw the course stopping at nothi-

"..." She stopped.

A deep chasm was ahead of me. Y/N peeked down there and saw no bottom. Only thing that was there to support were tightropes connecting them. One misstep and she had a feeling she'd never be seen again.

Oh well.

Zooming across the tightrope, Y/N wandered past other participants one by one. She even passed one she was familiar with.

"Y/N?" She turned her head to Todoroki, sliding across his ice.

"Yes?" She answered, staring at him blankly. Did she know hi- oh wait. He was there when she got Witchcraft back. "I never got your name."

"Todoroki Shoto." He answered bluntly.

"My name is Y/N Evergarden. I apologize, but I do not have time to talk at the moment." She told him emotionlessly, dashing ahead of him. He focused back on beating the two in front of him-- he can't lose today.

Y/N continued ahead past a certain blonde haired boy who noticed her out of the side of his eye. He growled in anger as she made it across, before him.

"GRAH! DAMN ROBOT!"

Y/N went ahead, not hearing any of that. Right now, the only thing that was on her mind was how confusing school is. Some days you don't have to go to the big, crowded building and others you do. Some random times in the weekdays, you don't have to go either. Why don't you just go everyday or don't go at all...?

As thoughts overwhelmed her, the sound of explosions with each step were toned out. Bakugou and Todoroki coughed harshly as they were caught in the mist of her running. Not to mention, Witchcraft's bottom tips triggering some explosions too.

Todoroki bit down on his teeth as he tried to see through the pink smoke. What a tactic, blinding those behind her to get ahead. Smart--he'll give her that--but not enough. He lifted himself above the haze, seeing Y/N far ahead, getting smaller by the moment.

"GRAAHHH!" A loud yell was heard as Bakugou blasted himself out of the smog. That damn robot and stupid half 'n half bastard think they can lose him? They thought wrong! No way he was losing to a bunch of extras like them. He blasted forward, not wanting to be beaten.

BOOM.

A loud explosion caught the attention of the ones up front. Flying out of the explosion was Midoriya himself. Soaring through the sky, he saw Y/N way ahead, not even looking back to see the explosion. He had to beat her; that was one of his goals. He slammed the shield down, giving him more momentum, getting closer to her.

Y/N hurried along, not bothering to look back to see the three boys chasing after her. A narrow passageway ahead. A line? Did she have to jump it or slide?

9:05 A.M. || Mustafu, Japan || U.A. High School - Sports Festival Stadium

Cheers were already heard from the passage way.

Midoriya panted, exhausted. That was a lot. Ka-chan and Todoroki were hot on his tail. Honestly, it's a miracle he made it.

"Midoriya, sir." He looked up.

"Y/N?"

"I will not be counted absent, will I?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What?"
