Author note: Finished another semester in university, with 2 A grades and 1 D, probably going to have to retake that class next semester but hey, to celebrate the A grade all my stories are getting an extra chapter this week
*The time was now. The time that the author made you all wait so long for, since honestly? I dragged this out because I'm an asshole and I found it funny. └( ﾟ∀ﾟ)┘ anyways. The stadium was packed with civilians, there was a discussion of selling the tickets at an absurd profit, but that would be counterproductive to the point of why so much money was given to this event which was to quiet down the masses. So the rich and important people for once were the ones who had to see the events through a TV. We see the students sitting in their seats while they watch Nemuri talk, with the presidents of every class next to their teachers, and finally Nezu with Izuku standing next to him with a suit and tie.*
Nemuri: Now, I'm sure you are all chomping at the bit to see me stop talking so this can finally begin, but before that, let's hear a word from the representative of the class A hero class, Bakugo Katsuki.
Izuku: "This should be fun."
*Izuku thought as he watched Bakugo Katsuki get up from his seat and walk past him, their eyes met for only a second and they both felt the world freeze for each other. Since they've both entered this school they've both more or less steered clear of each other's way, they're roads would meet a few times but more often than not, they wouldn't interact. Today? Right here, right now? They're on the same wooden bridge, but one of them is gonna have to let the other pass.*
Izuku/Bakugo:" This ends today."
*They both thought in unison. Two people who were best friends at one point, now are nothing more than enemies because of circumstances and decisions from both ends, maybe they were the right decisions, maybe they were the wrong ones. They didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that today it would be decided who between the two boys with enormous egos, which one will deflated and which one would grow. But again, that was only for a second, Bakugo broke eye contact and walked to the mic, looking at the audience of students, his competitors, but the only one he cared about was standing behind him. Bakugo opened his mouth and spoke.*
Bakugo: I just want to say. I'm gonna win.
*Bakugo said, making his classmates pale over his rudeness while the rest of the classes all started to boo him, and insult class A with Neito Monoma leading the charge. Bakugo didn't care as he turned around and went back to his seat, this time not looking at Izuku, since he didn't see him as a threat, the Deku could wear whatever he wanted to hide the facts of life. He didn't have any powers, he will never be better than him. He sat back down on his seat, ignoring the scolding he was getting from the president and the vice president, as Nemuri went back to speaking.*
Nemuri: Well. That was a rather individualistic little message. How about we hear from another, who can hopefully give more united words. Izuku Midoriya?
Izuku:... you planned this didn't you?
*Izuku asked as he looked down at Nezu who was smiling ear to ear, but didn't say a word, he just waved at Izuku to move to the mic. Izuku didn't react, he just walked to the mic and grabbed it, he looked down at the crowd of competitors, and saw the traitors there looking up at him as they should, he looked at the crowd of people and wondered how many of them had no powers to speak of. He wondered how many were gonna boo him after he was done.*
Izuku: Bakugo Katsuki, quite the character. If you ask me, he's the perfect example of a hero.
*Izuku said with his usual permanent smile. Hearing him say that made the people look at him, to look up at him weirdly, and it made those watching through the screen, like Mitsuki, Masaru, Hisashi, and of course Inko look at him in surprise. As for Katsuki himself? He remained without reaction, since he wasn't stupid, he knew that Deku was going somewhere with this. Izuku grabbed the mic and took it off the stand, he started to walk with the mic as he spoke, with nothing but confidence in his tone.*
