Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well!

This awesome drawing of Akano Yumi/Jean Grey is done by the awesome Kureha-chan! 😍 She's really talented and I'm really grateful for her contribution!! I'll be sure to add a link of her works once she has one sorted out! 

And for any of you who love to draw, I'd be more than grateful to see what you imagine Yumi to look like!

"Now that lunch is over, it's finally time to reveal the final game! But before that, there's good news for all of you who didn't make it to the finals! This is just a sports festival! So we've prepared recreational games that everyone can participate in, too!" Present Mic's voice rang through the stadium as he finished up.

The horde of first years all made their way back inside the stadium, including Akano Yumi and Midoriya Izuku who'd walked side by side as they entered the dark corridor after their earlier meet up. The air between the two of them was still slightly awkward as they walked amongst their fellow freshmen, which was an understandable outcome since the green haired boy had caught her balling her eyes out.

From the side, students whispered furtively, their acute stares following the two of their forms. One went as far as to forcefully bumping shoulders with Midoriya without bothering to apologize which only led to the greenette's bewilderment.

'What's with them?' He internally wondered, his eyes drifting back to the girl walking beside him as they exited the corridor and out into the bright field. There were no traces left on her face that proved that she was crying just minutes prior, and it made him a bit relieved that she seemed alright now. Even though they hadn't known each other very well, they were teammates in the previous round, after all, so he cared that she was okay.

"Hm?" Yumi noted his staring, so she she turned to look at him quizzically.

The shorter male's wide jade eyes opened further when her green eyes -that were a few shades lighter than his- met with his own.

It was only then that Midoriya realized just how beautiful she was.

Akano watched his expressions change from calculative to mortified to shy, shuffling between them before her eyes.

"I-I was just wondering why the students from the other classes are acting so aggressive lately." He speedily said, turning his head away from her with an embarrassed flush. Midoriya honestly didn't know how he'd been casually walking alongside her those past few moments. With his shy persona, he had a hard time talking to girls and with how good-looking the redhead was, it got harder for him.

"Ah..." She herself took in the jealous stares that were sent from the rest of the general ed students and pierced into all of the sixteen finalists. "Apparently they took the hero exam and failed. In hopes to prove the school wrong, they wanted to make a good impression in the festival. And that plan obviously went down the drain." She monotonously spoke. She maintained a firm look, but internally she was still shaken up after meeting... Him.

"Oh.." Izuku nodded in understanding. She and him halted in their steps once they approached Midnight's stage.

"Well, their attitude still can't be fully justified." Yumi shrugged.

"Is that the case for you, too?" Midoriya mindlessly queried.

Scrunching her eyebrows at him, Yumi's face displayed a confused look. "What do you mean?"

The color in his cheeks returned and she assumed his timidness won out in the end. "N-no, I-I just meant that you're trying so hard.. I just thought that you-"
