- Chapter 36 -

All the freshmen that participated in the Sports Festival gathered towards the center of the once again refurbished stadium field, as a result of the award ceremony that was beginning shortly.

Izuku and the rest of class 1A were at the front of the crowd since the top 3 medalists were a part of their class.

You, Shoto Todoroki, and Katsuki Bakugo were on the podium. You stood tall with an aloof expression, your wings no longer visible atop your back, it was simply your halo that shined floating over your head.

Shoto Todoroki stood stoically in his third place podium, looking forward with his apathetic features as usual. However you could hear his emotions, which were a symphony of nerves and content with what occurred in the Sports Festival. He was hoping for a victory, yet completely agreed with the outcome of the top three. Todoroki had a long way to go before unlocking his true potential such as Bakugo and yourself, therefore he accepted third place results knowing what he needed to work on.

He had you and Izuku to thank for that.

Katsuki Bakugo, however, was the exact opposite. He stood there in second place with malice and wrath, glaring at you whenever you two matched eye contact. It didn't faze you, in fact you had to restrict a giggle or two as a result of how much of a child he was behaving.

Before you found out you could travel to the past, he actually won the sports festival. However he wasn't happy back then either, since Shoto Todoroki wouldn't use all of his fire power against him.

Therefore Bakugo reigning victorious when Todoroki only utilized half his strength, he was so distraught by his win that he had to be bound and muffled just to restrain him from killing the poor boy.

And now here he is, pissed as ever, now for not winning the sports festival. Nevertheless, you feel that getting to know who Bakugo is through the years, you believed he would prefer this outcome over the original. He tried his hardest, and so did every single one of his opponents, and he landed in second place.

He knows where he stands in strength now, who are his top competitors as well as what he has to work on accurately. He can correctly perfect his techniques as well strategies for next time, which was his main objective for the sports festival in the first place.

Midnight stood beside the podium, microphone in hand to announce who would be awarding the medals to the top three victors. You knew exactly who it would be, and to be honest you weren't quite excited about who it was.

"Now everyone please put your hands together for the number one, All Might!!"

The crowd screams in delight and excitement about witnessing the symbol of peace in real life for some the very first time. He was a rare sight to be able to find, and expensive if he had any meets and greets, which were slim to none to begin with.

Nevertheless, he was here now in all his glory, as he leaped over the entire stadium from the outside and landed smack dab in the center. The middle of everything and everyone, and right in front of you three.

The ground shook when he landed, and everyone had to regain their footing so that they wouldn't lose their balance and fall. However you, Bakugo, nor Todoroki didn't flinch at all, each of you stood grounded and unbothered.

"Ha ha ha! I have been honored with the task of honoring our top three finalists with their very own and well earned medals!" All Might booms with his signature laugh, the crowd eating up every word that poured out of his mouth. This man was so idolized and held on such a high pedestal that he could shoot someone right in front of everyone, and their rose tinted glasses would justify his actions by claiming the person was a villain or something.
