Chapter 10: Let the Games Begin!

Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

The sun was slowly setting as the sky was lit in a beautiful orange hue. The day was almost over as evening and night was getting ready to take its place once the sun went down and the moon will soon be visible in the night sky.

"It's a good day to relax before the Sports Festival tomorrow," a, young, voluptuous. and attractive orange haired girl said as she stared into the sunset.

Itsuka Kendo took the chance to visit Dagobah Beach when she realized that she was in the area. She had spent the last few weeks training and honing her skills for the upcoming U.A. Sports Festival that will be taking place the very next day. The last two weeks have been quite stressful to the say the least. Everybody knew just how important an event like the Sports Festival is. It could make or break your career as a Pro Hero. It is a major chance to be scouted by other Pro Heroes who can take the students in as sidekicks once they graduate or even give them internships. It was basically a requirement if a person wanted to go Pro.

With that being said, such stakes come with an extreme amount of pressure. Students all over the school were being very anxious. Some were even crying, spouting things such as, "What if I don't get noticed?", or "What if I don't even make it past the first round?!"

It was even more stressful for Class 1-B. They didn't want Class 1-A, their "rivals", to steal all of the spotlight. They understood that Class A may, more likely than not, get much more recognition in the Sports Festival, due to them surviving a whole Villain attack weeks prior at the USJ. Itsuka even heard rumors that one of the students from Class A was able to beat one of the main Villains while suffering serious injuries. They were speculations on the identity of said student, since the teachers didn't reveal who it was. Only the Principal, teachers, and students of Class 1-A know who it was. The rest of U.A. does know and there aren't very accurate theories on who it was, since the rest of the school doesn't know what exactly happened at the USJ Villain invasion.

When Class 1-B heard about this, there was of course an outrage. Many students deemed it as unfair that only Class A got to get some hands on experience fighting against Villains while the other Freshmen classes were stuck in a classroom reading textbooks. They passed the Entrance Exams as well, so why don't they get those special classes as well?

The situation was even made worse when some of her classmates and other students crowded right in front of the Class 1-A's door, supposedly 'scouting the competition.'

The animosity between the Freshmen classes is totally unnecessary in Kendo's opinion. They all go the same school, so shouldn't they look out for each other instead of going at each other's throats. Plus, they don't even know the students of Class 1-A. Maybe they are nice people who only want friendly competition. Well, minus Bakugo...

Kendo sighed as she thought about tomorrow, "Honestly, all of this 'Declaration of War' shenanigans is just not needed. It will only cause more stress and unnecessary violence. It's just a Sports Festival. At the end of the day, we still got two more chances as Sophomores and Seniors, so it is not like it's the end of the world."
