"Before we get started with the final event... there's good news for those who dropped out of the preliminaries!" UA students emerged from the tunnels and the cheers from the crowds spiked again.
"In the end, this is still a sports festival! So, everyone can continue to participate! We've got some recreational events in store!" Another group rushed out of the other tunnels, a gaggle of cheerleaders, "Just look how fired up those cheerleaders we called from America are!!"
The cheerleaders amplified the energy surrounding the stadium as they danced and cheered as the recreational events began, "From 4 teams, 16 individuals have made it through!! Just like last year, it's a tournament!!" another round of cheers from the audience and cheerleaders, "We're pitting them against each other in one-on-one combat!! Now this is the main event!"
"A tournament, finally I'm gonna have the opportunity to appear on the stage I see every year!"
"There was a tournament last year too?"
"Some details end up changing, but each year is always has a one vs one."
"Yeah, but last year they had this whole requirement fight with foam swords, Mina." (F/N) said recalling the absurd requirement while chuckling at the memory.
"Really?"
Midnight strutted on the podium with a box with the word "Lots" on it, "Now we're going to do a drawing to determine pairings." She shook the box in her hands, and they could hear shuffling around, "Contestants, we're going to continue with recreational events before beginning the finals tournament, "The 16 participants from the tournament can choose to abstain from the recreational events if they so choose. There's no problem if you like to rest and save your energy. Let's begin with the team that got first place."
It raised quite a bit of shock through the students as Ojiro raised his hand, "Me... please excuse me!" (F/N) while slightly shocked, sighed a bit as he noticed Ojiro's solemn expression, "I don't want to participate."
"Ojiro! Why?!" Toru exclaimed.
"You're not going to have many opportunities like this to show off your abilities in front of the professional heroes!" Mina was next to jump in, shocked by one of her classmates refusing this chance.
But Ojiro continued undeterred, "My participation in the calvary battle... I was in the top ranks during the last few seconds... I can't agree to that. Probably cause of that guy's Quirk."
Ojiro made no move to point out who, but (F/N) caught his eyes flickering over to a guy with spiky purple hair. He looked over and noticed Izuku put two and two together as well. "I know this is a rare opportunity... and to walk away would be stupid..."
"Ojiro..." Izuku mumbled softly only loud enough where he could hear and (F/N) too, due to his enhanced hearing.
Ojiro raised stared at his clenched fist, (F/N) could tell this was a rather difficult choice to make for him, "However, everyone here gave their best to get this far...I'll never be able...to do the same."
The invisible student was quick to try persuading him to continue, "You don't need to think that! Take this chance to show that you belong up there!"
"When you put that way, am I not the same as you? We must take every chance we get." Mina pushed as well; it probably wouldn't sit right with her if he did that. After all, Mina felt like she didn't do too much either, but she knows how important these opportunities are.
"Toru and Mina are right." (F/N) walked up behind Ojiro and placed a hand on his shoulder, the tailbro briefly looked up him, "I get what you're saying and as noble as it is, it's not the best course of action. You need to think how this will affect your chances for being scouted and not just on your pride, Ojiro."
