Izuku the Monkey King

Chapter 15

"Sports Festival Part 1"

Izuku was busy....so busy that it was important to him for a very long time...sleeping in class with his shades on while leaning in his seat.

Yep very important for him, after a few days since the USJ incident and also being invited to a tournament that will be happening soon, Izuku was listening on what his classmates were talking about.

Hagakure complained about how she hadn't stood out on the news compared to everyone else.

Everyone in class was talking about the USJ incident, from the media's response to how impressive their teachers were. Then Iida was shown aggressively walking forward and ordering everyone to take their seats.

The kids wondered who would teach the class, since Aizawa was still supposed to be in the hospital.

The door opened to reveal Aizawa, who was doing a good impression of a mummy.

The class started freaking out upon seeing him, telling him he was back too soon and wondering if he was really alright.

Aizawa told the class that his well being didn't matter.

Aizawa told them their fight wasn't over, which worried the kids until he announced that the UA sports festival was coming up.

As that was said, Izuku felt a bit of excitement wash over him and glint of mischief as his eyes traveled to a select few of his classmates, those who were strong and could give him a fight...even if it'll last for just a minute...maybe even a second.

Kaminari and a few others questioned whether it was a good idea to hold the event right after an attack. Aizawa said it was the school's way of showing they had things under control still.

Aizawa and a few students explained how important the sports festival was for scouting purposes and getting hired after graduation. Jirou commented that Kaminari would get stuck as a sidekick.

Aizawa gave a rousing speech about how they only had one chance a year to get noticed by a popular agency, so they couldn't afford to procrastinate. Then dismissed them.

After Aizawa left the room the kids started talking about how excited they were to be taking their first big step toward becoming pros. Hagakure talked to Ojiro about how much she needed to stand out.

Aoyama went on one of his signature self assured spiels, demanding Koda agree with him at the end.

Kaminari complimented Shoji on how easy it would be for the other boy to stand out, which lead to Jirou taking another jab at Kaminari.

Izuku was trying mute out Iida's voice since the young man was being fired up over the aspect of the festival and how excited everyone else was, only to be interrupted by Ochako, wearing an expression so intense that the determination was coming off in visible waves.

Mineta wondered aloud about the source of Ochako's mood change, which earned him another tongue slap.

Ochako did her own version of trying to fire up the rest of the class with her, with mixed results.

Later at lunch, Izuku asked why Ochako wanted to be a hero, and was surprised that the answer was 'for the money'.
