“I wouldn’t have minded if you had just gone on ahead, you know…?”

Having finished changing, Izuku exited the room only to find Kyo waiting for him in the corridor.

“Is that really something you should say to someone who was waiting for you? You’re so cruel, Izuku…” Kyo pouted.

“My bad, my bad. Right then, shall we?” Izuku replied as he began walking.

They were suddenly interrupted by the chirping of a PDA.

“A mail notification? Seems it wasn’t mine.”

Izuku then proceeded to look at his own PDA. It notified him of an email from the student council president, which read as follows:

[The duel will be held two hours from now.]

[Please come to the front of the Bugeika school building an hour before.]

These two points were clearly outlined in a tone suggesting such a thing was an everyday occurrence.

I’m really going to fight that student council president today…Izuku could only heaved a heavy sigh....the thought of fighting someone who he knows...that it caused him to feel burdened by the weight of that knowledge, but needed to steel his resolve nonetheless...

There wasn’t much time left – what had to be done, had to be done.

So from now on, I’ll need to give things my best effort.

Convincing himself that things would be alright...he has to believe things will be ok and with that Izuku walked toward the lobby with Kyo at his side.

Following breakfast, Izuku and Kyo, who had changed into their uniforms, made their way to the designated spot at the time indicated in the email.

There, one of the student council vice presidents was waiting with her arms crossed – Rumi Usagiyama. As soon as she saw Izuku and Kyo, her sharp eyes narrowed even further.

“I’ll now guide the two of you to the Colosseum.”

“When you say ‘the two of you’, I assume that means it’s okay if I go as well, correct?”

“That would be perfectly fine, although it goes without saying that this extends only as far as to the waiting room,” Rumi replied as she began walking.

They were led to the waiting room inside the Colosseum, located a short distance from the Bugeika school building.

It was about ten-tatami mats wide and was empty but for benches along the wall and a few scattered chairs.

“The locker room’s next door; please use it as you see fit. You will find your Variable Suit prepared for you there, so please change, and make any necessary adjustments before the match starts. You know how to do so?”

“Yep, I do.”

“If that’s the case, then you should be fine on your own, right? Before the match begins, Saiko will call on you. As long as you’re ready by then, I don’t mind whatever else you choose to do. Now then, if you’ll excuse me,” Rumi remarked, before exiting the room.

“What do you wanna do, Izuku? Get changed right away?”

“Yeah, I’ll do that.”

*dingdong*…

“What’s that?”

As they were mulling over what to do next, the intercom that had been installed inside the changing room suddenly sounded.
