"This round ends in a...?

Draw?" Present mic said confused.

"Are you kidding me??" The 2 rivals said in unison as they stared at each other laid on opposing sides of the ground.

"Rematch!" They both screamed.

"There is only 1 way this can be settled" midnight began.

Everyone fell silent, listening to her word.

"An arm wrestle match!" She cheered.

The 2 rivals quickly sprung off the ground and went to the table stand.

"No quirks, pure body strength!
On your marks.

Get set.

GO!"

The 2 then began to arm wrestle it out but...

They equalled out in muscle strength as well...
Their arms wouldn't move.
They sat there, trying to force each other's arms down for 5 minutes before midnight decided they'd have to use another match to decide to wins.

"Okay...?
We'll have to settle this old fashioned way then...

Rock paper scissors!!"

The 2 then began to hand sign dual, the crowd started to find the entire thing comedically hilarious as they always landed the same pairs.

"Stop copying me" the 2 screamed in unison.

"Okay then...
Looks like that won't work either.

What are you 2?
Twins?" Midnight joked.

"Well yeah.
We're brothers..." The 2 said in unison.

"That would explain a lot.
Hm.

How are we going to decide who wins then?
There can't be 2 first place winners." Midnight said, waiting for an idea to come to mind.

The crowd fell silent as they just waited for something to happen.

"They can't equal out in everything" Aizawa began.
"One of them is stronger than the other, however.
I do not know who that person is either.

That is why we'll need an unbias person to fight them both." He continued.

"But who would fight them?
We can't use students, friendship biases exist." Midnight sighed.

"How would that work though" present mic asked in slight confusion.

"We need someone to fight them both.
Here's how it'll work.
The twins will fight 1 person, which ever one of them manages to beat the person they're fighting faster than the other will be the ultimate winner of the festival" Aizawa explained.

"That makes sense.
Except, who's going to do it?" Midnight asked.

Aizawa made direct eye contact with Midoriya, Midoriya immediately felt a pit in his stomach as he got a bad feeling about the entire thing.

"If I pick someone from the stadium?
Are you all okay with that?" Aizawa asked.

"It depends on who!" The crowd Shouted.

"They'd have to hold back, most of us are pro heroes!"

"Is that fair??"

"Whoever I pick will have to follow rules to ensure that the students don't get hurt.
But at the same time, they'll be fighting to the student's limit."
Aizawa explained.
