The Avatar ~ Izuku Midoriya

"I told you this would be fun!" I said to Todoroki as we were watching the cameras that showed the people in the audience. One guy got in the face with some of Sero's tape.

We could also see all the pro heroes that came. It was pretty fun, I don't think Todoroki has laughed this much in a long time.

But then it was time for the first round of the final game. Izuku vs. Shinso. We walked to the stands where all our other classmates were at. Yes, I did change from the cheerleader uniform to my pe uniform.

Uncle Mic was talking and getting the crowd hyped up, but all I could do was think about Zuku. He might get hurt. My leg was bouncing in anxiety, until I felt a hand on my leg. It was Ochaco.

"Deku's going to be okay. Don't worry about him." She said in her soft voice.

"How can I not worry about him. He always gets hurt when he uses too much of his quirk."

"Just because you like him doesn't mean you're responsible for him. He can do it!"

"Yeah, I guess that's true." She then gave me a wicked smile that scared me, "What?"

"You agreed, you do like Deku!" She almost yelled.

"Shhhh. I did not say that!"

"No but I said, just because you like him, and you said, yeah, that's true."

"Okay, first of all, you do very good impressions of people. Second of all, I don't know if he likes me back so, why try?"

"Because, as long as you try, you will never fail. You said that in your speech. Take your own advice, M."

Before I could answer Uncle Mic called out Zuku's name.

"The rules are simple. Immobilize your opponent or force them outta the ring. You can also win by getting the other person to cry uncle!"

Zuku and Shinso now stood in front of each other. I do want Zuku to win, but imagine if Shinso won. He would do so much better in the hero course with his quirk.

"Bring on the injuries because we got our very own Recovery Girl waiting on standby! So put your morals aside and don't be afraid to play dirty! But of course, no life-threatening crap, folks. It's not allowed. Real heroes use their power to throw villains in jail, not kill them."

"I'll stop anyone who tries to get too rough." Cementoss said.

"Ready?! Begin!"

Zuku started to run at Shinso but then stopped. Why did he stop?

"Ugh! I warned him not to say anything!" Ojiro groaned.

Oh right, his quirk. Damnit Izuku!

"Huh?! Hey, hey, what the dealio? This is the first match! It should start out with a bang!"

I stood up from my seat and walked over to the railing. Come on, Zuku. You can do it!
