The Next Hero in Line (My Hero Academia Fan Fiction)

Chapter 5

June 11th 10:00am

Bakugou, Todoroki and Midoriya stepped out of the cab and was greeted by a roaring crowd; cheering and clapping for the winning three. Fireworks and confetti rained down from the sky, Class 3-A's students came over to them and lead them to a podium that was at the front of the school. Kirishima tried to give Bakugou a welcome back hand shake but he just smacked it away and walked past him.

"Guess he is still the same despite losing." He mumered.

They continued down the walk way with fences blocking off the hundreds of fans cheering. First years helped the Trio up onto the podium. They stood up tall and the crowds grew louder, cameras flashed and dozens of reporters tried to ask questions but their words were inaudible due to all the other talking and cheering. A loudspeaker turned on and everyone fell silent. Principal Nezu came up to a microphone in front of the podium and began to talk.

"We gather here today to honor our great third year students, who yesterday fought with the best of their abilities to show Japan they have what it takes to be recognized as the future top three. As they have already been shown as the big three throughout the past year it is now certain that one of them will become the number one hero."

Aizawa walked over with the three medals as he made his way towards Bakugou. The crowd remained silent.

"In third place, Katsuki Bakugou. His power has grown far beyond to what it was before, with an amazing finish Bakugou was able to still make it to the podium."  Aizawa said as he lifted the bronze medal over his head. 

"He came in first place during the first year and third place this year? By Deku who didn't even make it to the top three the first time?" Someone said.

 Bakugou glared over at the person who said it and his teeth gritted and he looked as if he were going to go over and start a fight.

"Look at where you are. Don't do anything you are going to regret later." Aizawa said in his ear. 

Bakugou's expression disappeared and his emotion stayed calm. 

Aizawa made his way over to Todoroki

"In second place, Shoto Todoroki. The fight was quite the step up from the last time that he and Midoriya fought. Todoroki gave it his best efforts and showed much spirit into his fight." 

The crowd applauded as Aizawa now stood in front of Midoriya.

"And in first place, Izuku Midoriya. From the start of the festival to the end of the festival his quick thinking and powerful moves made it some almost none could stop him. In the final battle against Todoroki. He had us all think that was the end of the fight but with a chant of inspiration from the crowd it got him back on his feet and rocked the whole stadium. We thank you Midoriya for all the energy you filled within us. Now let's all give it up for U.A.'s top three!"

The crowd cheered. Midoriya picked up his medal.

"I'm finally here. I will show everyone that from this point on I will only get stronger and never fall behind." 

Midoriya noticed his parents within the crowd. His dad waved at him as he and Inko were both crying. 

Principal Nezu stepped forward. 

"If the press would like to step in for questions, you may do so at this time." The fences opened up and reporters flooded in. The podium they stood upon slowly retracted into the ground until it was met at ground level. They were face to face with the students and asking many questions that they couldn't understand what they were saying.

"One at a time please." Aizawa said as his eyes glowed red.

The reporters grew quiet and one of them stepped up to Midoriya.
