The Tale of the Accursed One.

The U.A Sports Festival.

Following the events of what had happened at USJ, the media had been hounding U.A endlessly, it was worldwide humiliation for the number 1 hero school in Japan. Every single newspaper headline was slandering them. Some of the parents of students also threatened to withdraw their child from the school.

Overall, it was one of the lowest moments in U.A's history. The media kept bothering them, every day they were pestered to answer questions, all of which were ignored.

"What do we do?"
The board of directors at U.A were having a discussion about what needed to be done. Nezu was at the end of the table, happily sipping his tea as he listened to everyone talk.

After they were done, Nezu smiled at them as he put his mug down.
"Are you all done talking?" Nezu said, smiling serenely as ever.
The rest of the directors didn't speak up, they simply nodded.
"Alright. Well...."
Nezu sipped his tea one last time, before looking up again, this time with a more serious look in his eyes.
"Now, let me speak."
Nezu got up, and went to make more tea.
As he was making his tea, he spoke out again.
"We can't do anything about those pitiful paparazzi and journalists. What we can do however, is show the world that the USJ incident was merely a small dent for us. We need to show them all that our foundation was left untouched, that we are still the greatest hero school. One accident doesn't change that, and we will show all those fools exactly that. Make an announcement for the School Festival tomorrow, announce that it'll start next week."
The board of directors collectively were in shock, and tried objecting to it, but Nezu ignored them all.
He casually made his tea as everyone continued blabbering, and after they were done, he spoke up again.
"If any of you can come up with a better plan, please speak up. If not, we'll go with my idea. Is that alright?"
The last part wasn't a question, and everyone in that room knew it. No one spoke up.
Nezu smiled again. "It's settled then. I think it's safe to say this meeting is now concluded."
A collective murmur in agreement.

However, as they all got up, Nezu spoke up again.
"Oh right, I almost forgot to mention. Our... "project" comes in after the Sports Festival. He was originally meant to come tomorrow, but unfortunately it'll be a bit delayed. Make sure to announce that to the world as well. The boy can change the world entirely, this could be a revolutionary moment if it works out well."

It was a rare sight to see Inei in class. Due to how he passed everything they threw at him with distinction, they decided eventually that Inei didn't need to be in class. All he had to do was be present for exams, and that was enough. Since then, Inei was rarely seen in class. However, he was present today, for some reason. Everyone tried going over and talking to him, but he didn't answer anyone's questions.

"Where's Aizawa? Still at the hospital?" Kaminari asked them.

"Well, duh?" Jirou was the one who answered.
"Dude, he got absolutely wrecked by that monster, do you think he's gonna be back so fast?"
However, at that exact moment, the man himself, Aizawa, entered the room. He was covered in bandages, so many bandages in fact that he looked like he was mummified.

Yells echoed through the classroom.

"Silence."

The moment Aizawa spoke up, everything went quiet.

"I may be heavily bandaged, but I am still your homeroom teacher. I will NOT tolerate yelling."
After everyone settled down, Miyuki raised her hand.
"Speak, Okada."
"Uh, sir, are you alright? Like, are you sure you're fit to teach?"
"Of course I am. Do you think I'd be here if I wasn't fit?"
"Yeah, yeah you would be." Kaminari muttered under his breath.

"Anyway, you don't actually have class today. Instead, we have an announcement."
The class collectively got excited hearing those words.
"As you all know.... The U.A Sports Festival-"
The moment the words "Sports Festival' left Aizawa's mouth, the entire class erupted.
