"NOW LETS DRAW LOTS TO DETERMINE THE BRACKET." Midnight exclaims, holding up a yellow box containing everyone's names. "Once the bracket is determined, we'll have the recreational games and then start! The sixteen finalists can choose whether or not they want to participate in the recreation. I'm sure some of you want to rest or save your strength. Now, from the first place team—"

"Um...! Excuse me. I'm withdrawing." Ojiro states, his head hanging low.

"Ojiro?! Why?!" Midoriya exclaims.

"This is a rare chance for pros to see you!" Iida reminds him.

"I barely remember anything from the cavalry battle until almost the end. I think it was that guys quirk." Ojiro explains. Shinso, huh. I was wondering why their team had such an odd mix of contestants. "I know that this is a great chance and that it's foolish to waste it...But—Everyone here competes by giving their all! I can't...I can't be up there with everyone without knowing what really happened."

"You're worrying too much about it!" Hagekure reassures him. "You should just make sure you produce results in the finals!"

"If you're gonna say that, I didn't do anything either." Mina chimes in.

"That's not it...I'm talking about my pride here...I can't...Also why are you guys wearing cheerleader outfits?" Ojiro inquires. All the girls look away, ashamed at what led to this moment.

"I'm Nitengeki Shoda from Class B. I also want to withdraw for the same reason. Regardless of ability, don't you think it goes against the goal of this sports festival for those who didn't do anything to move into the final round?" He says.

"What's with these guys? They're so manly!" Kirishima exclaims, shedding a tear.

I cross my arms, muttering "guys I don't think it's that deep. It's just a festival." I understand what they're trying to convey, but truly, no one cares that much. Isn't this festival just about showing off.

"Youthful talk like that is something...I like! Shoda! Ojiro! I accept your withdrawal! In that case, we'll have to move up two people from the fifth place cavalry battle team..." Midnight says.

"If that's what's going to happen, then rather than us who barely did anything during the cavalry battle, it should be them, right?" The ginger haired girl asks her team. "The ones who fought to the end and stayed in the top, Team Tersutetsu, right? This isn't collusion or anything, it just makes sense."
