Shigaraki lounged back on the couch as he watched the UA sports festival display on the wide screen TV. While the recreational games took place off screen, the commentators went through the previous rounds from each grade, starting from the third and second years.

"With that said let's check out the roster for the first year students."

The screen changed to the full roster with names. The reporters sitting in the booth with the high energy crowd behind them smiled at the camera.

"So far it's been an exciting and close race between three particular students, but with these one on one matchups anything can happen. Tanaka who do you predict will come out on top?"

"I gotta go with the son of Endeavor, Shoto Todoroki. He's been amazing thus far. Took first in the obstacle race and just narrowly lost to Izumi Midoriya in the Cavalry battle. He's well rounded, physically fit, and has the lineage to back it up. I say he's gonna go all the way."

"He is impressive, but speaking of Izumi Midoriya. How do you see her chances of taking home the gold?"

"Doubtful," The male reporter waved his hand in the air as if to bat away the notion. "I'm sorry. The girl is good, but she's got Katsuki Bakugo as her first opponent in the tournament round. Not only did he place second and third in the prelims, but he's really catching the attention of many of the pros with his tenacity, and battle gusto. He's got a real hunger to win and it's something Midoriya is going to have a hard time overcoming. Even if she somehow manages to pull out a victory over him I don't think she'll be able to make a full recovery to take on Todoroki in the finals. I say Son of Endeavor all the way!"

"Karma wouldn't be pleased to hear the lack of confidence in her abilities." Kurogiri suddenly spoke from behind him. Shigaraki tilted his head back grunting at him.

"Kurogiri... did you find him?"

"There are reports of the Hero Killer being in Hosu. The Hero Ingenium and his sidekicks are currently in pursuit but they've yet to track him down." He reported. "I've a couple of informants in the area that will keep me posted on the progress."

"Humph this guy had better be worth the wait." He scratched at his neck, his irritation growing as they went over highlights of the cavalry round. The sight if his woman being held up by two young men had his jealousy raging hot. "Why does she insist upon going to this lame school?"

"She's still young and learning. As impressive as she is now the hero school will hone her skills even more so and keep her close to All Might and the other heroes." Kurogiri responded watching the broadcast intently as they went over play by play.

"Not to mention the naive and handsy adolescent boys who ogle her like a prize." He snarled as the camera panned to Izumi blushing in the rabbit costume. He stood and punched his fist through the TV. The screen cracked and blood dripped down his hand.

"Mind your temper, Shigaraki." Already prepared for such behavior, Kurogiri came around and proceeded to clean and bandage the injured hand. "She's your queen... these boys are nothing but peasants for her to play with. They hold no threat against you."

"Any of them even try to take her from me I'll turn their faces inside out." He threatened and snagged his hand away holding it. "I'm putting on that stupid disguise and going for a walk." He walked away, snagging the wig and face mask on his way out the door.

"Where are you going?" Kurogiri asked with some concern.

"Karma told me to make friends..." He slipped the disguise into place and peeled down the mask so his wide grin split his face. "So I'm gonna go make some friends."
