A few days later:
The stadium was packed to capacity, with thousands of spectators filling the seats, and millions more glued to their screens at home.
Reporters were scattered across the venue, cameras focused on the stage set for what promised to be the most significant confrontation in modern hero history. The roar of the crowd was deafening, a mix of excitement and tension.
At the center of the arena stood Japan's top heroes: Endeavor, the flame-wielding No. 1 hero, his fiery aura radiating heat even from a distance; Hawks, the sharp-witted and laid-back No. 2 hero with his crimson wings folded behind him; Best Jeanist, the meticulous and composed No. 3 hero whose denim-like fibers seemed to ripple in anticipation; Edgeshot, the enigmatic No. 4 hero capable of transforming his body into razor-sharp threads; and Mirko, the fierce and fearless No. 5 hero known for her explosive kicks.
Towering above them all in both stature and reputation was Star and Stripe, America's No. 1 heroine. Her golden locks billowed in the wind, her confident gaze fixed on the horizon. Her quirk, New Order, was legendary, capable of rewriting reality within certain limits.
The air was thick with anticipation.
Endeavor stood rigid, flames flaring around him. The memory of Izuku's words at the U.A. Sports Festival still stung—being insulted in front of a massive crowd was not something he could forget. Today, he would exact his revenge.
EnjI: This brat will learn respect today, "he muttered under his breath".
Hawks perched on a railing nearby, he looked utterly uninterested. His sharp eyes scanned the stadium with detached curiosity. Deep down, he was uneasy.
Hawks: Why does the Commission think this is a good idea? "he thought to himself. He had tried to convince them to ally with Izuku, but their arrogance had blinded them".
Mirko cracked her knuckles, bouncing lightly on her feet.
Mirko: Finally, a real challenge, "she said with a grin. She had witnessed Izuku's strength during the Monarch incident and was eager to test her mettle against him".
Best Jeanist and Edgeshot were calm but calculating. They exchanged nods, silently formulating strategies to counter Izuku's overwhelming power.
Star and Stripe stood tall, her presence exuding authority.
Star: This kid better be as strong as they say, "she thought, her lips curling into a smirk. She had taken this request from the Commission out of curiosity and a sense of duty".
