"Everyone!! Morning homeroom's about to behind. To your seats!!"

"We're sitting you're the only one up."

Yesterday you had spent all day thinking about the so called deal. The door of the classroom opened revealing Aizawa fully wrapped in bandages.

"Morning."

"You're back in class already, Aizawa Sensei?!" Iida raised his hand. "Glad to see you doing well, sensei!!" Aizawa stood up at the podium. "My welfare isn't important. Because your fight is far from over."

'Are more villains coming...?'

"U.A's sports festival is fast approaching!"

"That's so totally ordinary!" "Come on. We just had that villain attack! You sure about this?" Aizawa looked annoyed, "It's necessary. To demonstrate that U.A.'s crisis management protocols are sound... that's the thinking apparently. Compared to past years, there'll be five times the police presence. Anyhow, our sports festival is the greatest opportunity you'll get. It's not an event that can be canceled over a few villains."

Kirishima leaned over by you. "Hey this weekend me and the group wanted to hang out." You raised an eyebrow, "The group?" He nodded, "Mina, Kaminari, Sero, and Bakugo." You were even more surprised. "Bakugo's in our group? And Kaminari?" Kirishima nodded, "You haven't been sitting with us lately, but one day I invited them to sit with us and now we're friends!" "Sure. Where we hanging?" Kirishima stopped for a moment thinking, "Uh. I don't know."

Aizawa cleared his voice over the class whispering to each other. "Our sport's festival is one of Japan's biggest events! The Olympics were once the world's sports festival. The whole country would be whipped into frenzy over them. But as you know, that tradition has shrunk in scale to a shell of its former self... and as far as Japan's concerned, what's taken the place of the olympics is the U.A. Sports festival."

"The nations top heroes will all be watching right?" "They'll be there as scouts."

"Naturally you'll gain valuable experience and popularity if you're picked up by a big named hero. But your time is limited. Show the pros what you're made of here, and you'll make future for yourselves. This happens once a year... so you've got three chances. If you're hoping to become a hero, this is an event you can't miss!"

"This has got me so freaking pumped!" You sat in the desk listening to Kirishima. "If we show off our stuff here, that's one big step towards going pro!" Sero smiled agreeing with Kirishima. "You guys are acting so cute." You said with a smile at them. Sero blushed, "What." You realized what you said and chuckled, "I mean you guys wanna be my training buddies?" Kirishima nodded, "Of course! When will I decline hanging out with you?!"

Sero shrugged, "Sure. Should we ask the rest of the group?" You nodded, "Hey Kirishima. Is it okay if I sit with another group today?" Kirishima looked at you, "You don't need to ask me for permission, you're your own person." You rubbed your arm, "Yeah but I feel like ever since I've been meeting new people we're becoming distant." Kirishima ruffled your hair, "What do you mean? You're still my best friend! And we hang out almost everyday what do you mean?"

You smiled, "Yeah... well I better catch up with him." You walked off. Kirishima watched you walk away before slowly walking over to Bakugo. 'Who's the him...?'

You walked in the halls with the quiet boy. He glanced at you from then and there. "Why did you wanna sit with me again?" You looked around to see if anyone was listening. "Something important. Something about the villains." He looked at you, "What do you mean?" Continuing to walk towards the cafeteria you looked at Todorok with a serious expression. "The blue guy came inside my apartment yesterday. And told me something."

☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎☀︎︎

You both were sitting at the back of the cafeteria where everyone barely ate. He used his chopsticks to get some soba out of the bowl and eat. You looked at him as he took a bite. "Tell me what this villain said."

You looked around briefly before answering. "I'm not sure if it was him, but I was walking home and I was followed but that person stopped after I turned towards my apartment complex. When I opened my door that man was sitting in my couch. I used my quirk to restrain him but he used his to get out of it. He then...."

' "Has Todoroki ever told you about his family? Maybe something or someone is missing. Wonder where they went?" '

Todoroki noticed your stop in the middle of the sentence. You looked up at him before continuing. 'Should I ask him or leave that part out...?'

Todoroki slurped his soba, "Why did you stop?" You coughed, "I needed to cough. But continuing, he gave me a deal. If I was to join he would tell me secrets. I don't know what kind but one of them being where my father is."

Todoroki raised his eyebrow, "Father?" You nodded, "Both my parents died. But he's saying my father is alive." Todoroki leaned back, "He has to be manipulating you into joining the villains." You shrugged, "My father was a strong... maybe he is alive. If he is... I have to find out where he is... what he's doing." Todoroki had a feeling he knew what this was leading up to.

"(L/n). Of all things. Don't become a villain."

You sighed frustrated, "But... my father. If he is alive, I would throw away my dreams to see him. I would do anything to see him." Todoroki looked at your eyes seeing you were telling the truth. You then sighed once more. "I told you a lot. And I don't even know anything about you. Only your name and that you go to school with me."

He looked at you, "Wanna train with me for the sports festival?" You perked up, 'Is this an invitation to get to know him more? But also I have to train with Kirishima and... but I could also train with him.'

You smiled, "Really, yeah!"

The bell then rang signaling it was time for class. Todoroki picked up his stuff. "Hey (L/n)." You turned towards him.

"Please don't get hurt trying to find more information about your father."
