The next day arrived, and it was finally time for the Sports Festival—the first one in years that allowed children under 10 to join in. While the high schoolers were busy preparing, the younger kids were doing the same, each putting on the gym uniforms they received when they first enrolled at the school. They looked similar to the high schoolers' outfits, but instead of blue, the kids wore black, which the boys seemed to really like. As the girls came out of the bathroom, Eri was the last to step out, with Satsuki right beside her.

Eri turned to her best friend and asked, "Isn't Sensei, I mean your dad, coming?"

"Mhmm, he and Mama Chako said they bought their tickets and will be in the crowd cheering for us," Satsuki replied.

"I'm really excited to show my sister what I can do," Satsuki said, beaming.

"Heh, after the training we got from Midoribolt, we're going to crush this event," Tamashiro chimed in as he, Mahoro, and Katsuma approached, all wearing their black gym uniforms.

"I-I'll do my best," Tamashiro said nervously, but he clenched his fists in determination.

"Now that's the spirit I like to hear from my little brother," Mahoro said, ruffling his hair since neither of them was wearing their hats. She then looked around and asked, "Hey, has anyone seen Kota?"

"Now that you mention it..." Katsuma replied. "...I haven't seen him at all today."

"Who knows? I wouldn't be surprised if he skipped out on this. But being Sensei's sidekick..." Tamashiro said with his hand to his chin.

"Do you know where Eri is?" Satsuki asked.

"Yeah, um, he's with Daddy right now," Eri answered nervously. "They said they were going on a 'flight' this morning."

"Uh, what do you mean by 'flight'?" Tamashiro inquired.

Right above the North Pacific Ocean, not far from Japan's coast, two individuals soared at an incredible speed over the water, creating a wake that split the surface beneath them. One was a teenager clad in green and white armor with rocket wings, while the other, a child no older than ten, wore a yellow Eagle-like suit with glowing green accents. These were Izuku in his Flight Mode and Kota, testing out his new Eagle Mode.

They flew side by side, dipping, rolling, and diving over a sea bustling with dolphins and seagulls, executing daring maneuvers with such finesse that it appeared effortless. After waving to the creatures below, Izuku cranked up the thrust in his wings, prompting Kota to flap harder to gain altitude.

They jackknifed upward, rolling and tumbling through the ethereal cloudscapes, spreading their wings wide to glide through the air. As they did, they passed an airplane, where a group of kids peered out the window, staring at them in awe. Izuku waved, and Kota flashed a peace sign, slowing their speed to let the plane pass.

"Alright, Kota, ready to give this a shot?" Izuku asked through his comms.

"I'm not sure; I still don't know if I can switch that quickly," Kota replied.

"You practiced all day yesterday, so I know you can do it. And if anything goes wrong, I'll catch you," Izuku reassured him.

"Okay then, I'll hold you to that, bro," Kota said.
