"It didn't even take 5 minutes... With unexpected teamwork, Class A wins with a perfect 4-0!"

Kazumi and Kirishima erupt in cheers, their excitement echoing through the arena.

Aizawa gives the team a thumbs-up, his expression hinting at a comment he's withholding. However, his attempt to speak is drowned out by the boisterous celebration of Kirishima and Kazumi.

"Oi! Shut it, you two!" Bakugou's voice cuts through the cheering.

"Sorry, Bakubro," Kirishima apologizes sheepishly.

"Sorry..." Kazumi adds, her enthusiasm dampened momentarily.

Aizawa sighs, momentarily defeated by their exuberance, before redirecting his attention to the victorious team.

"You didn't do any more damage than necessary and secured them quickly after capturing them. With Bakugou as the focal point, utilizing his exceptional mobility and combat prowess, the three of you also provided strong support," Aizawa commends.

Jirou, Sato, and Sero beam with pride at the praise, while Bakugou wears a smug grin.

Kaminari rushes over, Hikki in tow, to join the congratulatory chorus. "Kacchan, you really showed your stuff out there! And Jirou was like a true heroine!" he exclaims, earning an affirming nod from Hikki.

"I'm a hero, though," Jirou corrects with a smirk.

Sero turns to the Kaminaris, offering a playful remark. "It was like watching a delinquent take care of a stray cat."

As the group returns to the rest of the class, Midoriya beams at his childhood friend. "Kacchan!"

"Move, scum!" Bakugou retorts sharply.

"I'm not in your way, though..." Midoriya responds innocently.

They exchange a few words before Bakugou abruptly turns to leave, only to find himself enveloped in a sudden, unexpected hug.

"Shitty hair! What the hell do you think you're doing!" he roars, caught off guard by the embrace.

"You were so amazing out there! So manly!" Kirishima exclaims, squeezing his boyfriend tightly in a hug.

"Stop it, you idiot!" Bakugou growls, slightly flustered, as he breaks free from Kirishima's embrace.

The two settle down beside each other, Bakugou letting out a sigh.

"... Thank you, Eijirou... You were really awesome during your fight too. You looked so hot, breaking out of the rubble like it was nothing," Bakugou whispers, his voice softer than usual.

Kirishima grins, a blush dusting his cheeks. "...You're welcome, Kats," he responds, equally as quiet.

Kazumi, watching from behind them, lets out an awed sigh. She turns to Hikki, who has returned to her side.

"Look at my dads! So manly!" Kazumi gushes with pride.

"Your dads are already dating, right?" Hikki asks.

Kazumi takes a moment to recall. "Dad said they got together while staying at a hotel on I-Island, so yes. They're together already, though I think they haven't told the others yet. But I think Aunt Mina and some others already know."

"They're not exactly subtle sometimes," Hikki points out with a laugh. Bakugou and Kirishima sit so close that Bakugou is practically in the redhead's lap.

Kazumi nods in agreement, sharing Hikki's laughter.

Meanwhile, Todoroki and Iida return, accompanied by the twins. Shoto seems lost in thought as they take their seats.

The twins settle down next to Hato and Setsuko, while Shoto and Iida stand beside their classmates.

Vlad King's voice rings out once again, breaking the momentary silence. "Now, for the 5th match! It's the last match of the day! Are you ready? Do your best until the end! Start!"

Excitement fills the air as everyone's attention focuses on the screen, eager to see the outcome of the upcoming match.

Amidst the anticipation, Setsuko leans in to her cousin, her voice barely above a whisper. "What did you do with Uncle Shoto? He looks like he's conjuring up some wild conspiracy theory."

Hato, eyeing the twins suspiciously, waits for an answer. Itsuki nonchalantly whistles, avoiding eye contact, while Shosuke, looking rather guilty, finds sudden fascination in the ground beneath him.

"Well?" Hato presses, his gaze unwavering.

"I don't know what you're talking about, nii-san. We didn't do anything," Itsuki replies with a dismissive shrug.

Hato redirects his scrutiny to Shosuke, who nervously squeaks and begins to sweat. "Is it just me, or is it getting hot in here?" Shosuke tugs at his collar nervously.

"We're outside, and you have an ice quirk. You don't get hot, but you're about to," Hato hisses, his feathers igniting with a faint blue flame.

Shosuke's squeak intensifies, his eyes squeezed shut in apprehension. "We called him Dad! But I don't think he noticed! Or realized," he blurts out, unable to contain the secret any longer.

"Shosuke!" Itsuki's shout is a mix of rage and disbelief, while Setsuko and Hato are visibly stunned.

"You little snitch!" Itsuki lunges at his brother, but Shosuke deftly dodges, and the two begin a chaotic chase around the platform.

Kazumi and Hikki are the first to notice the commotion, their attention drawn to the spectacle unfolding before them.

"I'm gonna kill you! You always snitch! You little weakling!" Itsuki's voice reverberates with fury, flames dancing dangerously along her skin, threatening to erupt into a blaze.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Shosuke's tearful plea echoes back, his body slowly encasing itself in ice as snowflakes begin to fall around him.

"Would both of you stop?!" Setsuko interjects, her tone tinged with frustration.

Denki turns to Hikki, seeking clarification. "Are they always like this?"

Hikki nods, exhaling a weary sigh of resignation.

Itsuki unleashes a torrent of flames at her brother, prompting Shosuke to hastily erect an ice wall for protection. The skirmish intensifies, with flames and ice colliding in a chaotic clash.

Aizawa and the other teachers ready themselves to intervene when Hato abruptly shoots into the sky, his wings ablaze with vivid blue flames.

"ITSUKI AND SHOSUKE TODOROKI! BOTH OF YOU STOP RIGHT NOW OR SO HELP ME GOD, I WILL GET UNCLE IZUKU!" Hato's thunderous voice reverberates across the platform, commanding attention and freezing the combatants in their tracks.

Silence falls, a heavy tension hanging in the air as everyone processes Hato's stern warning.

Before anyone can react, the ground quakes violently. In the distance, a black whip breaks free, unleashing chaos and destruction in its wake.

On the still-functioning screen, Midoriya's panicked expression is evident, his screams echoing through the air.

"RUN!" The urgency in Midoriya's cry reverberates through the chaos, spurring action.

Shosuke and Itsuki's eyes widen in terror, their breaths growing ragged as they register the imminent danger.

"PAPA!" Their cries pierce the chaos as they bolt towards the source of the disturbance, Itsuki employing her flames to propel herself forward while Shosuke slides across his icy path.

"You two! Don't just run off while I'm scolding you!" Hato's voice is lost amidst the chaos as he shouts after them.

Setsuko looks up at Hato, her expression fraught with uncertainty. "What do we do?"

On screen, the chaotic movements of Black Whip render Shinsou unconscious, his figure sprawled amidst the turmoil. Hikki's expression morphs into one of deep concern as she observes her father's plight, mirroring the worry etched on Kaminari's face.

"Get me to him!" Hikki's urgency pierces the air as she turns to Hato, her determination palpable.

Hato deliberates for a fleeting moment before acquiescing with a nod. Swiftly, he swoops down, scooping up Hikki in his arms before soaring into action.

As they approach the scene of chaos, the twins navigate the tumultuous environment, deftly dodging the thrashing tendrils of Black Whip.

From above, Itsuki locks eyes with Shosuke, urgency coloring her gaze. "Freeze it! I'll get him to safety!" Her directive is clear as she gestures towards the fallen Shinsou. Shosuke nods in understanding.

Taking a deep breath, Shosuke exhales, the frigid air visibly condensing as he channels his icy power. With a determined focus, he unleashes his quirk, conjuring a colossal ice wall that ascends skyward, encasing the rampaging Black Whip within its frozen embrace.

Straining under the weight of his own power, Shosuke grits his teeth, voicing his struggle. "I can't hold it for long!"

"You won't have to!" Hikki's voice cuts through the chaos as Hato descends, carrying her towards the heart of the turmoil.

"Sorry, Uncle!" Hikki's apology is swift as she takes decisive action, channeling electricity into Midoriya's body. Instantly, his thrashing ceases, his form relaxing as the electrical charge induces a temporary calm.

With Hikki's efforts restraining Black Whip, the chaotic energy begins to subside, gradually dissipating as the danger ebbs away. Hikki exhales heavily, her efforts maintaining control over the volatile quirk as she grapples with its unpredictable power.

Finally, Black Whip recedes, and Hato deftly slices through the ice, freeing Midoriya with the precision of his feathers. Descending slowly, he carefully lowers Midoriya to the ground, while Hikki, drained from her exertion, collapses. Her nose bleeds, and Shosuke reacts swiftly, catching her before she hits the ground.

As Midoriya lies motionless, his eyes still blank, Shosuke's worry mounts. "He's not waking up, what do we-"

SLAP!

Midoriya jerks awake with a gasp, startled by the sudden jolt. "Hato-nii!"

"What? It woke him up, didn't it?" Hato's nonchalant response contrasts with Midoriya's panicked recoil.

"Get away! It's dangerous!" Midoriya scrambles backward, his eyes darting around in confusion.

"It's fine. Hikki's brainwashing took care of it," Hato reassures, but Shosuke isn't convinced. He shoves Hato aside, earning an irate protest, and kneels beside his father.

"Are you okay?" Shosuke's concern is evident as he studies Midoriya's still form.

Meanwhile, the crackling voice of the speakers interrupts the tense moment. "We're putting this fight on hold for now. Everyone, get back here, now!"

Hato grimaces. "Aizawa sounds pissed."

Shosuke winces. "He definitely is."
