The Ninth Style: Izuku and Deku

Chapter 30. Grandiose Stage | Izuku and Deku

"Entrances?"

"It's a way to keep the Audience entertained, King of the Maze is such a long activity that we know doing stuff in between has become kinda hard. Sure, Midoriya was able to hype them up and prepare them for whatever the ensuing fights will be like, but we want you all to leave a big impression."

Aizawa told all of the Students in front of him, said students being the 16 Fighters seen in the Tournament Brackets who looked at him with interest. This made Shinso speak up and ask.

"But why Entrances? Won't they be entertained enough once it begins?"

"No, the break between activities has been longer than we expected. Since part of the maze was destroyed by attacks such as Todoroki's Ice Wall and a few other explosions, we have to clear Debrie and secure everything for everyone."

Aizawa said before continuing

"But the biggest problem is... the Audience has been showing a huge loss of Interest, we've given them some entertainment, but not enough to keep them engaged. Plus, the sun is starting to set, we've been in this Sports Festival for upwards of 12 hours."

The students looked at one another, the insanity of King of the Maze blinded them to just how much time had passed between activities. From them getting to the 4 Entrances to the Maze being set up, it was nearly 3 hours. For them to see the Scoreboards and announce the Fighters was yet another 3 hours. And lastly, taking down everything along with doing the smaller side activities that have kept them entertained has been over 5 hours, almost becoming the 12 hours Aizawa mentioned.

This made everyone suddenly realize just how actually exhausted their bodies were, a huge amount of time was spent standing around and talking, planning out things for the King of the Maze which as we've seen ended with the destruction of a huge part of things.

Amongst those things, the Ice Pillar of Shoto he shot towards Katsuki and Izuku had still not melted away completely even with the help of Endeavor, which was also leaving even more of a mess. It was not exactly easy to deal with all of this, being told the time they've been in this place, really made everyone realize that exhaustion was soon to kick in. And every action taken from here on, was going to be a pain to walk off.

"I guess doing entrances is the least we can do."

"The day's been long enough, I'll need something to hype myself up that isn't drinking 4 cans of Iced Coffee."

"Right now, if we all want a fair fight, we need something that can give us energy, and while it may seem a little weird to use it that way, depending on what we decide to do as our entry."

"I just want this to be over so I can get some sleep... but fuck it. What can we do?"

"...."(He can trigger the Brainwash when he wants...)

The greenette was looking around, trying to not enter in visual contact with Shinso, he had a weird feeling about what was to happen next in their match. His mind didn't stop bugging him about it, well it wasn't his mind, it was something else within him, a gut feeling of sorts warning him to not do something stupid when the fight comes around. 

"Midoriya."

"H-Huh??"

He looked towards the voice, seeing Aizawa speaking to him.

"Will you do an Entrance aswell?"

"...No... At least not yet."

"Cocky now, are you?"

"Shut, Bakugo!"

"Why not yet?"

"Because we don't know who'll make it to the next round, and for all we know, the hyping up could end up being longer than the entire fight. It's better for us to not pad out too much when we know the Audience is growing a little too desperate."
