Izuku p.o.v
I was waiting to be called by present mic
I tryed to keep my heart down, cause it was going at a million miles per hour
Then suddenly y/n's words popped into my head 'well I'd rather see you win then lose to a ass hole like him. So don't lose! Izuku...'
My face then became bright red 'she believes in me... I can't let her down'
"Hey! It took a while, but... you're finally getting the hang of using one for all!"
"All might... not really... I'm still... uneasy about it. Like with that microwave visualization thing... I'm just trying to recall when I launched it at that villain, but... it still feels dangerous. As if I could fall apart if I lose focus for a second... and... Well, it's like you saw...given the level my body's at, even when I control it... it only gives a small increase in power."
"Hmm... Right. Remember how I was talking about giving it between 0 and a hundred? As you are now, your body's capable of about 5 percent."
'5!!'
"If you put it that way... I've just gotten lucky with everything. " I said
All might then whacked me on the shoulder causing me to choke "that's because you're always trying your hardest, my dear Prince of nonsense! You'll never be a hero looking so mopey!! Now, listen. Especially when you're feeling worried or scared..." he then changed into his hero form " THATS WHEN YOU GOTTA SMILE!! YOUVE COME THIS FAR, SO SHOW BRAVADO, EVEN IF ITS FAKE! NEVER FORGET THAT IM EXPECTING BIG THINGS FROM YOU!"
I was then called up and walked on to the stage
"The first match!! Making a weird face despite his excellent performances, it's Izuku midoriya, from the hero course!! Versus... sorry, but this guy hasn't really done anything to stand out yet! It's hitoshi shinso, from general studies!! The rules are simple! Win by knocking your opponent out of the ring, immobilizing them or getting them to say 'I give up ' ! Bring the pain!! We've got our good old recovery girl on standby!! And fight dirty if you must! Ethics have no meaning here!! Well, of course , going for the kill is a no-no!! You'll be disqualified! Because a true hero's fists fly only when in pursuit of villains!"
"'I give up', Huh? Get it, Izuku midoriya? This battles going to test your strength of will. If you've got any kind of vision for the future, there's no sense in worrying about how you get there."
"Now let's get this thing started!!"
"Y/n comes to mind. She didn't care how she got into this school as long as she got there in the end... but at the same time was it worth it... she's the one who got beat up by the other kids"
"Readyyyyyyyy!!"
"To be fair I was controlling some of them the other kids just joined in and it became normal. I didn't need to control them any more... but I bet she didn't tell you about her mom through"
"Start!!"
"Stop it. Stop talking about her... like... that!" I shouted and was running in. Until my body froze up
"Hey, hey, what's wrong? This battles just beginning. Show us some spirit!! Mere seconds into the match, midoriya's frozen in place?! Looking confounded, he's not even twitching!! Could this be shinso's quirk?! We were barely aware this guy even existed, but now...he sure is one to keep an eye on!" Present Mic said
