'FIRST MATCH- ALPHONSE KAYAMA VS IZUKU MIDORIYA!' The teacher called.
'OH MY GOD THE TWO MOST INNOCENT PEOPLE EVER ARE FIGHTING.' Screamed Akio, 'OH NO NO NO NO THAT IZUKU KID CAN'T KILL MY SON. HE'S GONNA CRUCIFY HIM OR SOMETHING.'
'Akio, calm down.'
'HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE CALM WHEN MY ONLY SON IS GONNA TURN INTO A MASHED POTATO. COME.' Akio sprinted out of the spectator stands, dragging an unwilling Mitsuko with him.
'Where are we going....?' Mitsuko asked as they burst into the commentators box.
'Get outta my way, bitches.' Akio grunted as he shoved Shōta out of the way and grabbed his microphone before sitting on his chair.
'Wassup fuckers, the better commentator here, about to bring ya a great match!' Akio announced. 'Right now I'm with my co-presenter- I give you Mitsuko!'
'Yo!'
The crowd screamed.
'You could've just asked...' Shōta said, a little miffed.
'I wanted to commentate.' Mic protested. Everyone ignored him.
'So Mitsuko, are you excited for the match?'
'It's definitely an intriguing matchup, we'll see what's to come!'
'Ok we're about to begin! Is everyone ready?'
The crowd cheered.
'Well, without further ado, I give you the competitors! First of all: Small cute and you just want to cuddle him- Alphonse!'
'Against everyone's favourite cinnamon roll- Izuku!'
'To be honest, I'm not sure if they're just gonna hug and become best friends.'
'There's no way it'd happen, that's too perfect.'
'Anyway, back to the match.'
'Aaand they're off!'
The two boys sprung into action. Al started emitting his odour, and Midoriya looked concerned as the golden gas started approaching him. He powered up his finger, and sent a powdered up flick through the cloud of gas, making it disperse temporarily. He immediately changed through, going in to hit him but before he could land his punch, he stood there, frozen, his fist hovering above the other boy's face.
'I... I don't want to hurt you. I can't do it.' The gas had got to him. He slowly lowered his fist.
'I'm sorry. Everyone. I'm so sorry.' He cried, waterfalls of tears cascading down his face, 'I'm sorry I let you down! I'm sorry. What sort of hero am I?' Alphonse looked conflicted, before turning around and walking out of the boundaries. 'Midoriya- You deserve victory more than me. Win this competition for the both of us!'
Izuku looked at him, confused.
'Why... why would you do this for me? You hardly know me.'
'I believe... that one day you will become a great hero. I could tell from your performance in the other trials. You need this win more than me and have a genuine, caring heart. Don't make my sacrifice be for nothing! Win this competition.'

'Alphonse is out of bounds! Midoriya advances to the next round!'

'Oh my lord, they grow up so fast. My baby Al is a big boy now!'
