....

"Its fair game after all"
Midoriya smiled, one that sent the crowd into a rage.

"With everything that we offered!!!?"
They all screamed in unison, it only made Midoriya want to laugh.

"Yep!
You think Aizawa Sensei would let it slide if he ever found out?
I got in trouble on the first day for the stuff I couldn't control."
He said, shrugging his shoulders and attempting to walk through the crowd.
They parted way and allowed him to leave, though it was really just his luck which had made them move.
He left them all stunned and annoyed, the free ticket to winning was just a sham and now they actually had to try to win this festival.

A chill breeze flew on by, carrying with it the scent of smoke and burning flesh.
Fires burned fiercely, illuminating the city below with it's bright reddish orange hue. Cries and groans of the hurt sounded in the air alongside sirens of ambulances and building alarms in the distance.  It was a typical scene post Pandemonium that the heroes were sick of.
Midoriya took a deep breath in, looking  at the city from a distance with bored eyes.
His leg dangled off the edge of an internet tower, he had been seated on the ledge of one of the metal bars.
He sighed, "this is getting boring. I thought being a villain would bring a lot more thrill than this"
He said to himself, resting his face on his hand which had been propped up on one of his knees.
"I was bored of my life before and even now I'm back to being bored.
I've tried every kind of destruction I could think of.
Arson, explosions, airplane crashes, car crashes, demolition... There's nothing new left to try.
What do normal people do to keep from being bored...?
Pick up hobbies? I'm good at everything I try so it just ends up becoming boring.
Hang out with friends? I already do in school and sometimes they get boring.
Games? I guess that's fun but I need new ones, the ones I have are getting repetitive.
Ugh. What am I supposed to do when I have no fun challenges in life?
Oh.
That's it!
I need a new challenge is all.
All Might.
The most revered hero, feared even by AFO to a degree.
Killing him would be the challenge right?"
He smiled, standing up on the ledge, holding his hands out.
"yeah... It would have to be!
Otherwise he wouldn't single handedly reduce the crime rate and my quirk wouldn't keep him away from me.
Yeah..!
Killing all might will cure my boredom!"
Midoriya cheered, turning around to face the tower with his back to the ground.
"I'll kill him.
Sooner rather than later.
After that.... "
He paused for a moment, thinking of what he could do next.

"I don't know"
He leened back and sent himself into a free fall.
With how many times he had done it, he no longer even got an adrenaline rush from it.
It was just his typical routine.
Strong gusts of wind spawned out of nowhere and cushioned him on his way down, essentially safely allowing him to glide.
He landed on the forest floor, messaged Kurogiri and went home.

He had to sleep early that night. After all, the next day was the sports festival.

Excitement filled the air, crowds of people filled the stadium. They chattered amongst themselves, ready for the entertainment the festival was to bring.
The sun shone brightly down among Japan, not a cloud in sight to block off its lazer like rays.
Wind breezed along the stadium, carrying the scent of fresh food from nearby food stands. Chicken, popcorn, bread, were among the scents that stood out.

Class 1-A sat in their designated waiting room, waiting for their turn to be called out to the field.
Excitement was high in the air and they felt especially better knowing that Midoriya wasn't going to be interfering with who won or not.

"Midoriya."
Todoroki said, an air of seriousness about him.
Midoriya looked up from his seat, confused.
"What's up?"
He replied.

"Your quirk. Its strong. It could probably rival All Might.
If I win against your luck... That means I can potentially beat all might.
I don't plan on losing."
He stated.
