"IT'S A REALLY CLOSE CALL! BARELY AN INCH, BUT OUR WINNER OF THIS RACE IS... IZUKU MIDORIYA!"
The said boy had his hands resting on his knees, his chest heaving, and his face drenched in sweat.
He barely had time to react when Haru grabbed him in an excited hug, pounding his back while congratulating him. As the audience, those in-person and far away, roared their approval, Izuku's eyes watered as for the first time in his life he was acknowledged. All the work he had put in all this time had finally born fruit.
In all his years growing up, he had never had his efforts acknowledged like this. When he was diagnosed as Quirkless, his teachers, classmates, and even his mother had given up on him. Haru had done his best, but he couldn't be there all the time. Eventually, Izuku had even avoided the younger Bakugo, thinking it was better that way.
Now, thanks to all the support he had received, it seemed everything could finally turn around.
Haru was laughing, his face lit up in a closed-eyed smile, too overcome with joy at seeing Izuku's happy face to care about his own placement.
Right on their heels, Todoroki and Katsuki ran in, both placing third and fourth respectively.
"THE CONTESTANTS ARE POURING IN ONE AFTER ANOTHER! LET'S HEAR SOME APPLAUSE FOR ALL OF OUR COMPETITORS AS WE PREPARE THE RESULTS!"
"Deku!" Uraraka ran up, her face beaming, "That was amazing! I can't believe you got first place! I'm so jealous!"
Izuku turned pink and tried to hide it by pulling his arms up to his face, mumbling that it was nothing.
Haru grinned at them before sensing a certain pervert entering the stadium stuck to Yaoyorozu's back.
His smile dropped.
"Mi-ne-taaaa!"
The small teen screamed in terror as his class rep's eyes gleamed with death.
Haru pointed at Mineta and jerked his finger in a downward motion.
"Down."
"Y-yes, s-s-sir."
Haru stood over the trembling boy for a moment, letting out a small amount of killing intent before letting him off. Sometimes the fear of punishment was worse than the punishment itself.
"You okay?" Haru turned his attention to Yaoyorozu.
The girl nodded thanks, "I'm fine, thank you."
Haru nodded and turned away with a short wave, "No problem."
Midnight spoke into the speaker as the last student crossed the finish line, "The first game for the first years is finally over and what a game it was! Now, let's take a look at the standings, shall we?"
