Festival

"Mizu! Make sure you have plenty of water!"

"Take your pills with you!"

Her grandparents were squawking over her as she was leaving to head for her school. They were honestly stressing her out more than she needed to be stressed out for. Blue was rubbing up against her legs as she awaited the medication and extra water bottles for her. Her family was going to watch in the stands but they were making sure she was fully prepared.

It was a very exotic trip to her school, people from everywhere gathered around to get inside. The gates hadn't yet opened for them though, fireworks popping around the top part of the school.

"Good luck, fishy!"

"Thank you!" Mizu gave her family a nervous smile and a short wave before heading into the building.

Everyone got ready and was transported to the festival facility where they were waiting in a small room. Mizu said between Kirishima and Kaminari, Sero across from her and Bakugo at the end of the table.

"Awh, man. I was hoping I could wear my costume." Ashido complained as she looked over her P.E uniform.

"At least everyone will be in uniforms. That'll keep things fair, right?" Ojirou responded to her as he stretched his side out.

"I wonder what they have in store for us in the round." Sato wondered, nervously.

"No matter what they prepare, we must persevere." Tokoyami spoke to him.

"Right." Shoji concluded.

"This is gonna be so nerve-wracking!" Mizu placed her hands on her face as her heart was hammering in her ears.

"Hey, man! It'll be great." Kirishima put his one arm around her shoulder and used his other to portray an image, "All the people taking pictures. We're gonna be famous now than ever!"

"Uh..." Mizu sweat dropped when the waiting room door opened to reveal a very serious Iida.

"Everyone! Get your game faces on, we're entering the arena soon."

"Swallow your fears." Mineta kept repeating as he pretended to eat to air and gulp it down.

"Midoriya." Todoroki called out.

"H-hey, Todoroki. What's up?" Midoriya nervously answered and looked up at him. The two toned boy held an unreadable expression.

"From an objective stand point, I think it's fairly clear, that I'm stronger than you."

"Um-yeah..."

"However, you've got All Might in your corner helping you out. I'm not here to pry about what's going on between you two, but know that I will beat you." Todoroki finished and quickly glanced at Mizu for a moment who ignored the stare.

"What's with all this declaration of war, lately?" Kaminari asked as Kirishima got up and went over to him.

"Yeah, what's the big deal? Why you picking a fight all of a sudden? And right beside we get started." Kirishima put his hand on Todoroki's shoulder.

It got shoved off, "We're not here to be each other's friends, don't forget.... this isn't a team effort." He started to walk away in the direction towards the waiting room door but Midoriya spoke up again.

"Wait a sec, Todoroki. I don't know what's going through your head or why you think you need to tell me, that's you'll beat me and ya, of course you're better than me. In fact, you may have way more potential than anyone in the hero course, that's why you got in so easily." Midoriya explained.

"Midoriya, maybe you're being a little hard on yourself....and us." Kirishima tried reassuring him and for talking a little disrespectful for his classmates.
