IM Not You!

Chapter 25

Izuku's POV

Over the next two weeks, everyone was busy preparing for the Sports Festival. All Students were training and the teachers were as busy as bees. I was also training with the help of Touya. As always he never shows mercy when it comes to training. I was tired most days of the week and Touya always scolds me if I'm doing anything else than resting. He's always a big help with other household chores. 

Counseling was also a great help. I was surprised at first when Hound Dog told me that he would include some Anger Management but it worked great in the end. Now counseling is a new welcome aspect of my week that I looked forward to.

Today, however, was the day we all were looking forward to. Today was the start of the Sports Festival. 

---------------------------------------

The excitement outside can still be somewhat heard from our class' waiting room as Present Mic made an outstanding commentary. We were sitting and talking for a bit as we wait for the event to start. The atmosphere around the went back to normal and there was no longer any awkward moment since the day I screamed at them. They apologized and I chose to move on.

As always, Iida being the responsible one, made sure to asked if we were ready. 

"Yagi,"

I turned around and saw Shoto Todoroki standing behind me. 

"In terms of power, we are of equal strength. Just because you're the son of All Might doesn't mean I will go easy on you. I'm going to beat you and that's a promise I'm willing to make" he declared.

I smiled at that and not because I was looking down on him but because Shoto and Touya have something in common. When it comes to a challenge or training, Touya is always serious and I guess his youngest brother is too.

Kirishima tried to lighten the mood on the now serious atmosphere of the room along with Uraraka but it did little to none. 

" I know you won't go easy since we both have a reason to do so but I just want you and everyone else to know, my father has nothing to do to whatever I'm going to accomplish today or in the future. Everything I do, I'm doing it for myself and not for anyone else but I welcome your challenge Todoroki. It will be something I will look forward to."

The conversation was short-live as we were all called to the event's ground. 

"Let's welcome the freshmen as they make their entry now!!"

Our class soon made our entrance followed by all the other classes from different departments. I looked around the arena and was highly impressed by the number of people watching today's events live. The cheering voices of the audience were making all both excited and nervous. 

The R+18 Hero, Midnight soon made her way towards the makeshift stage. Her presence alone was enough for some people to question if it was alright for her to be the Cheif Referee for the freshmen. I can even see from my own eyes that some of the heroes and people watching were already blushing.

"Student Representative. Izuku Yagi from 1-A!" she declared.

I made my way toward the stage and in front of the mic. I already knew what I was gonna say and it will be something the audience will not be expecting.

"I would like everyone to give everything they have in order for everyone to shine and have fun. Like my father always says to all who are watching, PLUS ULTRA!"

To those who caught on to what was meant, the reaction was obvious. It was the reaction I was hoping for, the expression I wanted to see. 

"I wish you all luck" I ended.
