Sun-hee POV

We were currently back in class after our days off. I was drawing in my sketchbook, while the others were talking about how we were on the news last night and the media being obsessed with the situation. When suddenly Iida came into the classroom, yelling.

"Attention! Attention! Homeroom class is about to begin! Everyone stop talking and take your seats!"

"Um, we're all sitting," Kirishima pointed out. While Sero added, "Yeah, you're the only one standing."

Iida started shaking and clenching his fist in frustration. "Dang it," he hissed out.

"Don't sweat it," Uraraka tells him. I look at Koda in front of me, to see him shaking nervous at Iida's frustration.

I tap him on the shoulder and he looks at me even more scared. In the softest voice and smile I can muster, I tell him, "Hey, it's alright. He'll get over it. It's nothing you need to worry over."

That seemed to calm him down a bit as he stopped shaking and nodded. I just waited for whoever was going to teach homeroom, not bothering to question who it was. Whether or not it's Aizawa teaching us, we're getting an education either way.

Just as I finished my thought, the door slid open and a bored voice came from a figure covered in bandages with Mr. Aizawa's hair. "Morning, class."

"Mr. Aizawa, what are you doing here?" The class asked, while I stayed silent, as per usual.

"Mr. Aizawa, I'm glad you're okay," Iida says with his hand raised.

"You call that okay?" Uraraka questions.

"My well being is irrelevant," Mr. Aizawa deadpans. "What's more important is that your fight isn't over yet." Fight? "The UA Sports Festival is about to start."

"Ugh! Why would you scare us like that?!" The others shouted.

Kirishima seemed to be the most excited out of the whole class. But it seemed Kaminari and Jirou had a different idea. "Is it really a good idea to hold the sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?"

"They could attack once we're all in the same place," Sero added.

"Apparently, the administration thinks this is a good way to show that the threat has been handled and our school is safer than ever. Plus they're beefing up security compared to the past years. This event is a huge opportunity for all the students at UA. It's not something we can cancel because of a few villains." Of course, Mineta had to make a comment out of fear of his 'safety', forgetting that he signed up for this. But, Mr. Aizawa continued. "Our sports festival is one of the most watched events in the entire world. In the past, everyone obsessed over the Olympic games. But then, quirks started appearing. Now, the Olympics have been drastically reduced in terms of scale and viewership. For anyone who cares about competition, there's only one tournament that matters. The UA Sports Festival."

"That's right. And top pro heroes everywhere will be watching. This is where you get scouted," Yoayurozu explained, determination evident in her voice. I heard Mineta's voice, but decided to ignore it so that I can keep myself from showing annoyance.The rest of the class started making their own comments, while I was in my own thoughts, like always. The sports festival is where I can learn about the students in other classes, as well as their abilities. I can implement the knowledge I learn from them to further my own abilities.

"It's true that joining a famous hero agency can garner you greater experience and popularity. That's why the festival matters. If you wanna go pro one day, then this event could open up the path for you. One chance a year. Three chances in a lifetime. No aspiring hero can afford to miss this festival. That means you better not slack off on your training."
