{Sports Festival pt. 2}

"The top 42 students are advancing to the second event!" Midnight yelled.

She went on to explain the rules and how many points each person is worth. Izuku having come in first, is worth 10 million points alone. This places a large target on his back and people avoid joining his group, not that he cares. His team was already decided long before there even were teams.

Izuku, Kaminari, Aoyama, and Tokoyami form their group, an intimidating aura surrounding them. As the chivalry battle begins multiple teams attack Izuku's team at once. Dark Shadow lifts them into the air as a black sphere surrounds them.

"How do you want to play this?" Kaminari asked peeking back at Izuku.

"I don't care about this festival one bit...but I don't want any of them to win" Izuku mumbled as he watched the sphere get attacked.

"So what should we do?" Aoyama asked.

"I'll get us to the next event and do my best. The only person I can actually help past this point will be Tokoyami. I do not doubt that Kacchan will make it to the finals. Todoroki-kun never uses his left side but there's still a possibility. Those two will be a problem for you but I think I can help. Are you all ok with this decision?" Izuku looked at them completely seriously.

They were stunned, not used to Izuku speaking so much, but smiled at him nonetheless. If this is what Izuku truly wanted then they'd do it without hesitation. Even if their winning the sports festival could help them in the long run they cared more about Izuku. He never had the same privilege as they did. He was born without the one thing that could help him achieve his dream.

He was finally able to reach his goal when the person he admired most gave him the tools to help him. But then the same person ripped it away from him without giving him a chance to try. It was basically like saving a person from a burning building and throwing them into another as soon as they recover. Because of this trauma, Izuku lost the will to try and accomplish his dreams.

Now the one and only thing he cared about was helping his friends achieve something he could not. Normally that would only cause a person more pain but Izuku was different. Seeing the people who stuck by him no matter what happy truly brought him joy. The three boys shared a look simultaneously agreeing with each other.

Kaminari and Aoyama both knew that if anyone could make it that far it would have to be Tokoyami or Izuku. They have no drawbacks from their quirks that could hinder them whatsoever. In actuality, both boys have only one weakness...fire.

But for Izuku it's a mental weakness whereas for Tokoyami it's a counter for Dark Shadow. Meaning that only one of them has a chance of winning this. And that person is Tokoyami.

"We're perfectly fine with that!" Kaminari gave Izuku a thumbs up.

"If you feel as though you can aid me then I am eternally grateful" Tokoyami nodded.

"So how are we going to win this?" Aoyama asked.

"We could just sit here for the remaining minute or we can thin out the competition." Izuku shrugged.

Kaminari grinned, "Let's shake shit up!"

Izuku lowered the sphere to the ground before dispersing it blowing away anyone within a 10ft radius. Kaminari smirked aiming his fingers at the 10 metal disks he simultaneously shot out.

"1.2 MILLION VOLTZ!!"

Multiple groups fell to the ground as they occasionally twitched. Bakugo's team, having avoided the attack, charged at Izuku's team. While Todoroki's team focused on collecting headbands from the unconscious teams.

"DEKUUUU" Bakugo yelled out in pure rage.

Izuku gave him a disinterested look as the event ended. Bakugo fell onto the ground, pounding his fist into it angrily. Izuku and his team simply ignore Bakugo's tantrum giving Midnight their full attention.

"WOO! What an interesting event this was! This year's students are absolutely incredible! Now to announce those advancing to the next event! In first place, we have Team Midoriya with 10,000,275 points! In second place is Team Todoroki with 1,625 Points! In third place Team Bakugo with 1,095 points! And in fourth place Team Shinso with 910 Points!" Midnight announces.

⊱ ───── {.⋅ ۵♡۵ ⋅.} ──── ⊰

The third event was about to begin and Izuku couldn't care less. Ojiro and some students from class 1-B withdrew from the competition. The next event was a Battle Tournament and Izuku would be going first. His friends wished him good luck before leaving to watch from their seats. As the event begins Izuku makes his way into the Arena looking at Shinso with a blank look. Midnight tells them that may begin and Shinso immediately starts talking.

"Are all of class 1-A as dumb as your friend who dropped out" Shinso taunts.

Izuku simply ignores him and begins casually walking up to the boy.

"You know you're lucky, you were born with a pretty strong quirk while I just have this one" Shinso tries something else.

Izuku's hand twitched slightly at that but he didn't react further. Realizing that his words were having little to no effect on Izuku, Shinso grows desperate to stop the boy.

"Oh yeah, what's up with the bird kid in your class? Was he so insecure that he got plastic surgery to feel better about himself!" Shinso yelled out.

Shinso mentally kicked himself for choosing to stoop so low and go against his morals just to win. But he couldn't give up just yet. He had to prove to everyone who looked down on him that he could make it into the hero course. Izuku stopped directly in front of Shinso, just centimeters from his face. Shinso gulped as a shadow was cast over Izuku's eyes.

He immediately regretted his insult but stood his ground despite the immense fear he felt. Unbeknownst to Shinso Izuku was standing directly on his shadow, not that he knew Izuku's quirk. Izuku slowly looked up at Shinso, his eyes seemingly glowing despite being completely black.

"If you ever insult him again I'll make you regret stepping foot into this school. Now walk out of this Arena before I change my mind about sparing you." Izuku glared at the boy.

Despite their large height difference at this moment, Shinso felt as if Izuku towered over him. As his body began to move on its own, Shinso began to panic having zero control. It was as if a puppeteer was controlling his movements and he was a mere puppet.

As soon as he was completely out of the arena he regained his motor functions. He looked back at where Izuku once stood watching him leave the arena. Any normal person would be terrified and try to avoid Izuku but Shinso oddly wasn't afraid. He felt another emotion, one he was not familiar with. Despite that he didn't want this feeling to go away, it made him feel...happy.

He felt oddly drawn to Izuku, he wanted to get closer to him, he wanted to know why he had that strange look in his eyes, he wanted to know in what way was Izuku like him. Shinso gripped his shirt, staring at the back of Izuku's head, and let out a shaky breath trying to calm his racing heart.

"W-what...is this feeling?" Shinso mumbled to himself.
