   Preview: "Let's talk about what's more important. You're fight isn't over yet."

   "Our fight?!"

   "Not more bad guys!"

   "The U.A Sports Festival is about to start."

  Cheers erupted throughout the classroom, some talking excitedly amongst themselves while the other half stayed calm with excited smiles on their face.

   "Why would you scare us like that?!"

   "The U.A Sports Festival is coming up and it's a big chance to get scouted by agencies!" exclaimed an overly excited Kirishima.

   "Yeah, it's a good way to become a sidekick or have an internship with some of the agencies."

"Let's go kick some ass!" shouted Kirishima before being shut by Kaminari's hand smacking him in the face.

"Wait a second." He said.

"Is it really such a good idea to hold the sports festival right after the whole villain incident?" said Jiro.

"They could attack once we're all in the same place." added Oijiro.

   "Apparently the administration thinks this is a good way to show that the threat has been handled and our school is safer. Plus, they're beefing up security compared to past years. This event is a huge opportunity for all U.A students. It's not something we can cancel just because of a few villains."

   "I smell bullshit in here." said Arisa, only loud enough for those around her to hear.

   "Uh, I'm sorry, but why not?" a frightened Mineta questioned the mummified teacher. "It's just a sports festival."

   "Huh? Mineta, don't you know how important this competition is?" said Midoriya.

   "Of course I do. I just don't want to get murdered!"

  Aizawa ignored the talking students and began with his talk once again, "Our sports festival is one of the most watched events in the entire world. In the past, everyone obsessed over the Olympic Games, but then quirks started appearing. Now, the Olympics have drastically reduced in terms of scale and viewership. For anyone who cares about competition, there's only one tournament that matters. The UA's Sports Festival."

   "That's right. And top heroes everywhere will be watching. This is where you get scouted." added Yaoyorozu.

   "Sure, unless you're dead."

   "She's right. After graduating, a lot of people join pro agencies as a sidekick." Kaminari said with a grin.

   "Woah! He's brain isn't that fried up after all!" Arisa added sarcastically, making half the class laugh while Kaminari pouted and flicked her off.

   "If you realize, that's how far some people go. They miss their chance to go indie and stay eternal sidekicks." Jiro said to Kaminari. "And that's probably where you're headed. You're kinda dumb."

  Kaminari scowled and stammered before sighing and dropping his head in defeat.

   "It's true that joining a famous hero agency can garner your greatest experience and popularity. That's why the festival matters. If you want to go pro one day than this is the event that will open up a path for you." said Aizawa. "One chance a year. Three chances a lifetime. No aspiring hero can afford to miss this festival."

  Everyone looked around at each other, determined looks glazed on their faces.

   "This means you better not slack off on your training." Aizawa added.
