Reading through the tournament bracket, Izuku sees that he as well as a few of his friends are going to be taking part in 4 rounds prior to the round of sixteen. "Looks like Tokoyami and Momo are getting a rematch for the first fight, then it's Me vs Kaminari, Hitoshi v Ibarra and then Monoma vs Kacchan." Izuku says as he walks up to the stands, in his arms is a tray full of food, and from the looks of it the rest of his classmates have already gotten something to eat. As he sits down he has to smack Inasa's hand from stealing some of the snacks that he had bought for himself. Barking at the airbender to go get his own food, "Get your own damnit! This is mine, you airhead!" He shouts with bits of fire bursting from his mouth. Katsuki and Shouto both cringe at how violent of a response Inasa got for trying to steal Izuku's meal.

"Yeah I wouldn't do that if I were you. I tried stealing one of his McNuggets back when we were in elementary school... I still have the burn." Katsuki says before showing Inasa the underside of his forearm where a large burn blots his skin.

"I said I was sorry, but you shouldn't try to steal food that isn't yours." Izuku responds. "And don't get onto me about burns Mr. 'I'm gonna blast my best friend with a face laser and point blank range' I have burns on my back because of that." Izuku retorts before grabbing one of the pork dumplings and cramming it into his mouth.

"How much food did you get anyways? I could barely even see you behind the platter you walked down here with." Shouto asks, seeing Izuku inhale almost an entire fried lobster tail in two bites.

"What? I'm hungry, I didn't have time for breakfast this morning since our alarm went off a half hour before we had to come here." He responds before grabbing another tempura fried lobster. "Where's the girls?" he asks seeing that it's just him and the rest of the male classmates around.

"I have something special planned for you Deku," Kaminari says, "A friend of mine in General Studies and I came up with the idea, but don't worry about that for right now. What did you get?"

"Spicy tempura fried lobster tail, spot prawns, fried oysters, fried rice, onigiri, spicy beef lettuce wraps, French fries, spark melon, candied mango, brisket, half a beef wellington, steak tacos, escargot, schnitzel, fire flakes, arctic hen wings, lychee soda, dumplings and egg custard fruit tarts." He says causing the others to sit there and stare at him.

"That has to be... what 50lbs of food? How are you even gonna finish it?" Katsuki asks. "And I thought I got a lot of food, it looks like you went to every international vendor to get food from."

"Dude, it's not all for me, quite a bit of it is for Momo too. Guys have you all completely forgotten that I train literally every day, either with my quirk, martial arts or any of the bending styles including chi blocking? My metabolism is like a runaway bullet train, I guarantee you by the end of the tournament I'm gonna be hungry again."

"You got a point." Katsuki says before something catches his eye. "Oh my god." Katsuki exclaims before turning to Kaminari. "I'm going to kill you." Katsuki growls as he grabs Kaminari by the collar, searing his forehead with the Agni eye.

"What?! It was my buddy's idea. I just did the convincing part. Momo was the one who made the costumes." Kaminari says trying to defend himself. "All I said is that the girls from all the classes are supposed to do a cheerleader routine. Which is technically true, the Jr's and Sr's are out on the field."

"But not freshmen, you moron!" Katsuki shouts before smacking Kaminari over the back of the head.

"Why are you complaining, your fiancé is down there." Shouto asks, causing Katsuki to slowly pan over looking at him with anger on his face, so angry in fact that even the third eye on his forehead moves to look at him. "Alright, point made."

"Why isn't Deku reacting?" Kirishima asks, looking at Deku who has a line of blood leaking from his nose. "Oh... that's why."

"Uh oh, looks like the hero course is going full on fanservice!!!" Present Mic shouts over the intercom.

Down on the field, in the red white and blue UA colors are the girls from both classes 1-A and 1-B, their cheerleader uniforms are dark blue with red accents and white across the chest to accent the UA logo. The mini skirts, yellow pom poms and push up sports bras accentuate their curves causing most of the men in their classes to stare with blood running from their noses, Izuku included. "I can't believe I let that idiot talk me into this... and I'm going to scorch that midget." Momo curses to herself, realizing that she was duped, collapsing to her knees resting the pom poms in her lap. "Cheer up Yaomomo, at least we look great!" Tooru says as she really gets into the whole cheerleader idea, dancing about and even jumping higher than the actual upperclassman flier with their cheerleader squad. Momo looks up towards the stands, scanning for the general studies student who tricked her into this. When she sees the dark purple circular shaped hair of that perverted midget, her golden eyes narrow before she launches herself into the audience with her firebending. The explosion of cobalt flames surprises the other girls around her as she jumps almost a 250 yards from the field to the stands. She lands right in front of the midget who is cowering in fear of the firenation princess. She punches her hand close to his head then raises a fist up to his face with her knuckles glowing from the use of her creation quirk. From the spaces between her knuckles, two razor sharp blades extend outwards trapping the purple midget's head in place. Then a third one begins to protrude getting so close that it scrapes his Adam's apple causing it to bleed. "Next time. I won't be so merciful." She says before deconstructing the blades she had created and walking back to her spot in the stands.

"Woah... that was hot." Izuku says as his wife sits down in the seat beside him, still wearing the dark blue cheerleader outfit. "Hungry?" He asks her to pull the massive plate of food towards her before grabbing the beef wellington, cutting it in half with her firebending then sinking her teeth into it.

"Ladies and Gentlemen~! Welcome to the main event! The Tournament!" Midnight announces from her little podium. "The rules are simple, at the beginning of the match, Quirk-benders will call out what you're going to use, either your quirk or your bending. From there once the fight begins you need to knock out, ring out or get your opponent to verbally admit defeat." Midnight explains. "The round of 20 has 4 preliminary matches that will take place before the round of 16, these fights have been chosen at random from the group of 20 students. Because of this, these first fighters will have a short break before facing their second opponent entering the round of 16. From there it will proceed as usual all the way to the final fight."

"With that being said, here's today's first match! Princess Momo Midoriya-Yaoyorozu vs Tokoyami Fumikage!" Present Mic declares prompting the Yaoyorozu princess and the Fried chicken of- Ok that joke is overused, Tokoyami Fumikage approaches the ring from opposite sides.

"Because our first match has a quirk-bender versus a quirk user if the princess chooses to use her firebending, advanced bending forms will not be permitted." Aizawa declares in a less than enthusiastic tone. "Princess, what is your choice? Bending or Quirk."

"Firebending." Momo answers coldly, and Tokoyami feels a sickly cold feeling run through his body.

"Take your positions." Midnight says, causing Momo to take off her sports uniform coat only leaving her in her sports bra before she turns around and faces away from Tokoyami as if this was an Agni Kai. Seeing this, Tokoyami decides to copy the gesture, kneeling and facing away from the firebender. "Begin!"

With the sound of a gong, both combatants stand from their kneeling positions before turning to face one another. Tokoyami thrusts his arms outwards and summons Dark Shadow from his stomach. Momo grins and pulls her arms towards her chest into a more traditional boxer's stance but she leaves her hands open and spreads out her fingers. The moment she gets into this stance, Tokoyami pushes Dark Shadow forwards and high into the air above the direct line of sight between the two of them. Momo doesn't even look up at Dark Shadow, instead, she steps her right foot across, spins on the ball of her foot and swipes a wide hook kick out in front of her spraying a wall of blue flames out from her heel at chest height. Tokoyami's eyes widen in fear, feeling the intense heat of her flames getting closer and closer he does something he's never done before. He cuts his connection with Dark Shadow, severing the sentient quirk from his body and allowing him the time to drop to the ground. The moment the connection is severed, Dark Shadow vanishes into thin air allowing the flames to pass over Tokoyami, but he doesn't go unscathed. Part of the feathers on his head get singed as the wall of fire passes over him.

Pushing up to his feet, Tokoyami sprints forwards trying to close the gap between him and Momo and narrow the range of her firebending and try to get into close quarters. Thankfully, Dark Shadow manifests again from his chest this time staying close to his partner as they close the distance between them. Seeing this Momo extends her hands upwards before rotating her arms forwards, jumping and flipping creating two massive spirals of blue flames from the blades of her hands. As she lands she follows through with the spinning flames, thrusting her hands all the way to the ground before lunging forwards blasting flames through her feet. Tokoyami's eyes narrow as he tries to skirt between the gaps of the two flaming wheels that are rolling towards him, stopping his forward momentum. The slow moving wheels are just wide enough for him to slip past but they take up the remaining area of the ring. With no other option, Tokoyami skirts between the two blazing wheels falling right into Momo's trap. As he sprints through the other side he's immediately tackled by Momo who pins him to the ground with her knee on his chest before creating a flame on the point of two of her fingers, holding it in front of his face.

"You win. I concede." Tokoyami says, causing the gong to be heard above them and Momo's face to be shown on the Jumbotron as the victor. "For a second there I thought you killed my quirk." He says as she gets off his chest and helps him to his feet.

"Looks like Princess Yaoyorozu is the winner of the first match!" Present Mic declares, causing the crowd to roar to life with excitement.

"I took a gamble with that, honestly I thought you were gonna call him back rather than cut him off. I was just trying to end it quickly, I didn't want to burn you in the process." Momo responds before creating a burn spray can out of her hand and handing it to Tokoyami.

"You are as kind as you are ferocious." Tokoyami says with a bow before accepting the first aid and exiting the ring. Momo returns the bow before walking over to Midnight's podium to call out her husband.

"I won my first match Zuzu, next is your turn." She says, causing a chorus of 'Oooohh~'s to wash over the crowd. He can't help but smile to himself seeing her walk off the podium, and now with his match against Kaminari coming up next he heads down to the field.

After a few minutes, Izuku and Kaminari enter the ring on opposite sides, walking up to the concrete platform and taking off their jackets. "Kaminari, Bending or Quirk?" Midnight asks, as he is closer to her. "Bending." Kaminari responds, thinking that Deku would choose firebending as well... but, "Avatar Izuku, Bending or Quirk?" Midnight asks. "Quirk." And when Izuku says this, Kaminari's blood runs cold. "Very well, get into your stances." Midnight says, causing Izuku to shift his right foot forwards, square off to the left at a slight angle with his fists raised into a fighter's stance. His hands just under his face and his elbows framing his rib cage. Kaminari takes a deep breath before sliding his left foot forwards, raising his right arm up so that his elbow is near his head and his fist is beside his face with his left hand extended outwards with it open and flattened. He widens his stance and centers his weight. "Since both of you are capable of lightning bending, the use of this art will be permitted. Avatar Izuku, while you have chosen quirk, you will be allowed to use any and all lightning redirection techniques." Izuku nods, acknowledging Midnight's statement before turning to face Kaminari. "Begin!" She shouts.

Kaminari immediately swirls both his arms around himself, generating ten bolts of gold lightning around his arms before firing them. Izuku immediately side steps to the left as the power of One for All begins to arc about his body. His muscles around his chest buff up and bulge slightly, the muscles on his arms tighten and the legs of his pants slightly rip under the strain of his empowered muscles. His skin begins to produce a bit of light as green lightning begins arcing off of him and trailing off his eyes. Kaminari almost panics seeing Izuku's eyes start glowing but when he realizes he can still see Deku's pupils he relaxes and breathes out a sigh of relief. Golden bolts of electricity slam into the arena destroying the ring but Izuku darts around the ring moving almost as fast as the lightning, appearing to be a green blur. Kaminari can barely keep track of Izuku's movements before a bit of sweat drips into his eye causing him to blink. The moment he opens his eyes Izuku appears right in front of him with a wide grin on his face lifting his hand up to Kaminari's chest. "oh...craAP BASKETS!!!!" He screams before Izuku flicks him in the stomach. With only a flick of his fingers, Kaminari is launched from the ring so fast that it breaks the sound barrier. Half a mile across the entire stadium there is now a Kaminari shaped hole in the wall beneath the north stands. A few moments later, Kaminari comes stumbling out of the hole in the wall with a dopey look on his face holding two thumbs up. "Whey..." He says before falling flat on his chest and passing out. "Avatar Izuku wins!" Midnight exclaims causing the crowd to roar with excitement.

When it came time for Bakugou's match against Monoma, he allowed the quirk user to copy his firebending so they'd be on an even playing field. However it wasn't even for very long since Bakugou decided to do away with the novelties and immediately just blow Monoma out of the ring with a combustion beam pointed at his feet. The fight between Ibarra and Hitoshi went on for quite a while, with both of them being waterbenders and quirk users, they had elected to use both. Both of them as water benders were extremely evenly matched, passing massive bubbles and streams of water between each other, even launching ice spikes and different blades at one another through the course of their fight. Ibarra however had an ace in the hole, her viny hair. As Hitoshi blitzed forwards on a sheet of Ice, Ibarra turned around and clasped her hands together causing her hair to extend down into the concrete before launching upwards and ensnaring Hitoshi. Credit where credit is due however, Hitoshi had tried to bend the water in the vines but since they were created by her quirk they didn't have any water in them. In the end, Hitoshi ends up being completely restrained by Ibarra's vines losing the match to the green leafy haired foggy swamp waterbender.
