A/N: Mikoto finally remembers Shouto. Uraraka faces off aganist Bakugo.

Mikoto: I...understand now...Shouto Todoroki is my cousin...and after all this time...I forgot about him.

Mikoto felt guilty. How could he forgot all about his cousin who had suffered from abuse and isolation for the past ten years...

Mikoto: God...I'm horrible...I should've helped him back then...but I didn't...

But what could he have done? He was a child...

A silly innocent naive child...

He then thought about why they weren't able to see each other until now. Even though that was most likely Endeavor's fault...

He's most definitely the reason why they weren't allowed to see each other after all this time.

Mikoto: (Fuck that flaming headed  trash...how he became number two anyway...?)

All Might and Endeavor both set an example of different heroes.

Because there are just so many heroes who are disgusting pieces of garbage in human flesh like Endeavor, as there are Heroes like the symbol of peace.

Endeavor had done horrible things to Shouto, his siblings, his mother, and so many others just to get what he wants.

Disgusting...

So Mikoto know he should do something about this now that he is aware of the relationship between him and the scar boy.

Mikoto: (Shouto is my cousin. I gotta do whatever I can to help him...Maybe I can ask Mom for assistance...First priority...is anything that could get him away from that vile man...)

But the question is...how will I be able to save Shouto from himself..?

???: There you are.

Mikoto pulls his face up to see Souta...with a out of character look on his face.

It was worry.

Strange.

He never seen Souta would show that expression for anyone. Sure he works together with his classmates. But the reason he does that is so he can become a hero.

While Souta was friends with Mikoto...

But he still wasn't with anyone else...

In Souta's book, it seems like making friends were nothing more but a waste of time...

But he did come to see them as comrades...

At least he's not calling them extras like Bakugo does...

Although...Souta almost did reminded him of Bakugo in a sense. But they were really two different people with different personalities.

Souta was quiet yet rude and always sprouting criticism towards his classmates.

Bakugo on the other hand is loud, mean, and passively aggressive. He would become angry to anyone that come within a ten-mile radius of his sight. Especially Izuku....

But...Souta wasn't a bully like Bakugo so Mikoto can understand there were times that Souta would let his guard down once in a while to see if everything is alright.

Mikoto: Hey Souta-kun...What's up?

Souta: I should ask you that...Are you alright...? With, ya know...losing to Todoroki?

Mikoto made a frown at that. He's over it but the emptiness still resided.

Mikoto: I'm not sure myself...but I should be able to make up for next year.

Souta hums but nods.

Souta: Did anything happen while you were in here?

Mikoto decided not to say anything about the Endeavor incident but brought his mother up for once.

Mikoto: I did talked to my Mom...

Souta: *Looks around* The Yuki-Onna? She's here...?

Mikoto: Was here...but she went back to the stadium. Mom was concerned about me not accepting the loss but we talked it out.

Souta: Okay....

Mikoto: Souta...? Why did you come to see me...?

Souta:....Because I was worried...

Mikoto: (Ah...So I was right...?) And...is that a bad thing to you...?

Souta:....I don't know...I never worried been over anyone other than my older brother before.

Mikoto: No one else...?

Souta: Nope. But don't expect no sob story from me.

Mikoto: *Rolls Eyes* Of course not...

Souta: Did anything happen?

Mikoto: Well Lilac been having problems at home...but I'm shouldn't say anything about that yet...she tell the rest of you when she's ready.

Souta: Sheesh. A lot of stuff happened then huh?

Mikoto: Mm-hmm. I take it everyone's concerned about me.

Souta: Well duh. You been gone for a while. You are the class rep. Basically our leader. Of course they're concerned. Let's go.

Mikoto: Right!

The two boys had left out of the waiting room only to stop when they saw Shouto Todoroki nearby one of the rooms.

Mikoto: O-Oh. Shouto?

Shouto:....Yukimura...

Mikoto: H-Hi...How was your day?

Shouto:.....

Mikoto: (NOW THAT WAS STUPID! REALLY MIKOTO! CAN YOU GET ANY MORE AWKWARD TO IZUKU'S LEVEL??!)

Souta: So...You're Todoroki?

Shouto raised an eyebrow at him.

Shouto: And you are...?

Souta: No one special. Just Yukimura's classmate.

Shouto: Hmm...

With no more words exchanged, Shouto was about to take his leave. Mikoto looked like he wanted to say something, but Souta beat him to the cost.

Souta: That soba loving weirdo sure is lucky to be the son of the Number Two Pro-hero. I'm quite jealous of him.

Mikoto: (Eh...? He likes Endeavor...? Oh...)

Shouto stopped in his tracks and glared look right back at Souta.

Shouto:....

Souta: What are you looking at weirdo?

Shouto:....Don't ever mentioned him again in my presence. *Walks away*

Souta:....(Does he really thinks he can scare me with that threat? I can do something more frightening.)

Mikoto: Ha...I think you made him mad, Souta-kun.

Souta: Tch. I did nothing wrong. If he wants to feel angry towards me, I will do the same to him as well. Geez. My favorite Pro-hero's son is an asshole.

Mikoto: *Sighs* (If only you knew why he's like that...)

Souta: I noticed that he's been starting at you for quite some time. Does he a crush on you or something?

Mikoto: *Unamused*....Really?

Souta: I see you don't like my jokes....

Mikoto stayed silent.

Souta: Anyway. Let's go. The next battle is starting. We can probably get some ice cream later when it's half-time.

Mikoto perked up at that, all leering thoughts were dashed away as his livelyhood persona came back.

Mikoto: *Child-like* YAY! ICE CREAM~~~!!!

-Plus Ultra-

The next battle was going to between Uraraka and Bakugo.

TBH, this match was making the girl nervous.

After all, she was going to fight Bakugo Katsuki himself.

She was scared but she couldn't let that get to her.

She can win.

She has too...

The reason why she's here because she's doing this to win the money for her parents.

That way, they won't have to suffer from being poor anymore. Deku and Iida had came to check up on her.

Uraraka: Right now I'm just trying to form a plan to help me win.

Deku: I can help you plan! I'm sure that you can win, we just need a good plan!

Deku pulled out his notes and show then to Uraraka. Izuku then got to the page where Bakugo was at. Before he could exploit anything that was Bakugo's weakness. Uraraka spoke up.

Uraraka: I appreciate your help Deku-kun, but, I want to come up with this plan by myself...I just... I want to prove that I'm able to do this.

Iida: *Hand Movements* You don't need to prove it to us. We all believe in you, Uraraka-san!

Ochako smiles at that.

Uraraka: Then I need to prove it to myself. I already have a sort of plan, so really, I'm fine. I promise.

Deku: All right, if you say so....Just be careful...

Uraraka: Hey Deku-kun...How is Miichan doing? Ya know...after his fight with Todoroki-kun...He seems out of it.

Deku pursed his lips a little surprised. He almost forgot about Miichan.

Deku: I don't know...Maybe I should go see him. Or...maybe I shouldn't worry too much. Miichan will be fine. He got his classmates to support him if he has any problems. They seemed nice.

Uraraka: Yeah! They sure do! I mean after that incident with Bakugo in the tunnel. They all looked pretty protective of him.

Iida: But still... Bakugo should've kept his temper under control. His actions are starting to not only affect us but everyone here in U.A. He setting a bad example for all of us. What he did back there to Yukimura-kun was harassment and public assault!!!

Deku: Yeah... (Sadly...I don't think Kacchan cares about that. He did bad things to me before in public but no one, excluding my Mom and Miichan, even cared or think twice to even stop him. They just let him do it while Miichan tried to prevent it.)

Uraraka: Agree. He is such a big bully. I can't wait to knock him to kick his ass!

Iida: *Gasp* Language Uraraka-san!

Uraraka: Haha! Sorry! Sorry! Geez, you can be such a mom, Iida!

Iida:...Mom?

Deku/Uraraka: Yes Mom...

Iida: *Heavy Sighs* You two....Just do you best in the match!

Uraraka: OKAY MOM~~~!

Iida: I am not a Mom!

Uraraka laughs before she gets up and leaves for the match.

Uraraka: See you two in the finals! Wait for me!

Deku: Yeah! (Good luck...Uraraka-chan...)

-Later-

Present Mic: And now! She helped her team to second place in the cavalry battle, but will she help herself to first place here? It’s Uraraka Ochako from Hero Course Class A!

Ochako steps into the ring with a deep breath.

Uraraka: Don’t get nervous now. You have a plan. You can do this, she tells herself.

Present Mic: Up against! He’s fought his way here with his eyes firmly set on first place! Will he reach his goal? It’s Bakugou Katsuki, also from Hero Course Class A!

Bakugou steps up across from her. He looks really nonchalant.

Midnight: On the count of three, the match will begin!

There’s a pause.

No one said anything.

Midnight: Three...Two...One! GO!

Ochako starts off running forward, keeping low to the ground. But as soon as she gets too close, Bakugou shoots explosions at her.

Well Good. That’s what she’d been counting on.

Ochako retreats into the dust and smoke, before reaching down and activating her quirk on the rubble coming loose from the ground.

She springs backwards once the dust starts to clear. This was the most important parts of the plan is making sure that Bakugou is oblivious to it.

Before Bakugou can make another move, Ochako runs forward again, keeping the same strategy. Bakugou uses the explosion again.

Like before, Ochako activates her quirk on the loose rubble in the ground, but she also takes the time to remove her jacket and make it float. With all the smoke, maybe it’ll work well as a decoy!

Uraraka hopes that could work.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Ochako gets behind Bakugou. She sees him go after her jacket trap.

Uraraka: (This could be my chance…!)

Still keeping low to the ground, Ochako runs up to him, ready to get him from behind.

Bakugou quickly whirls around and unleashes an explosion in her face.

Uraraka: KYA!!!

Ochako lets out a startled cry as she falls back, momentarily blinded.

Bakugo: You're gonna have to try better than that, ROUND FACE!

After that, she scrambles away. The dust clears, and Ochako and Bakugou are standing across from each other, panting.

She's almost tempted to look up and check how much rubble she has in the air, but she doesn't want to draw attention to it yet.

She has see to how much there is (she can feel it as her quirk keeps it up there but she doesn't know if  it's enough to win. So, she waits for the right moment to strike. Ochako then runs at him again, staying low.

The pattern repeats for a while; Ochako keeps running forward, Bakugou uses explosions.

Bakugo: JUST GIVE UP! Can't you try anything else?! If not! Just walk out of bounds already! I'm stronger than you anyway!

Uraraka: NEVER!

Bakugo continue to send explosions at her.

Class 1-A felt their heart sinks. Everyone in the stadium weren't taking all this really well.

Deku: (This is bad...)

Iida: (What is the strategy plan she came up with...if she don't do it soon...)

Tsuyu: (Uraraka-chan...)

Mikoto:.....

A lot of heroes in the crowd weren't taking this lightly. One of them called out Bakugo for attacking Uraraka violently (because think she's a fragile girl) and many had agreed with him. Even Present Mic was on their side not liking the way this battle is going.

Most of the crowd starting booing Bakugo for toying with her like a coward but he paid them no mind as he kept his focus on Uraraka.

Jack: Ha! He deserves it!

Oka: I would chained him up, lock him away in a dark cell, and throw away the key.

Akira: H-He is such a malevolent heathen!

Hein: That attitude of his should never be allowed here at U.A....

Haru: I-I can't watch this anymore....

Maria: Horrible Guy, Nya!

Chassy: He's a bully...

Kelly: Sure is...

Mio: That guy really pisses me off...

Destiny: (That poor girl...)

Samuel: *Cracks his knuckles* Oh. He's gonna pay for hurting her.

Eito: I never realized Class 1-A was this violent!

Riku: He should be expelled...

Luna: Yeah! Kick him out of this school!

Sylvia: (Uraraka....)

The booing continued until Aizawa shouted at them.

Eraserhead: SHUT UP! Whose says he's toying with her?! You all been Pro-Heroes for how many years?! If you said that in your right mind. Then do us all a favor and go home! In fact, just watch the match with a turn over career site!

Heroes:......

A/N: The heroes kind of had it coming for being sexist...xD

Students:.......

Deku: (Aizawa-Sensei...)

Eraserhead: Can't you all see he's on guard? He clearly had recognized his opponent's strength who made it this far!

Mikoto: He's right...We shouldn't be underestimating Uraraka.

Sylvia: Yeah. Just because she's a girl doesn't mean she's weak. She's strong.  Look how she's still standing! She's giving him all she got!

They all looked and sure enough, the girl was still standing. The grin on her face proved that she was far from a weak fragile girl that almost everyone in the stadium thought she was.

Class 1-C: Oh.....

Mikoto: She's got a point there...I'm surprised you guys didn't see that. Some of you are supposed to be observant of the situation.

Some of their classmates looked away ashamed as Mikoto's gaze filled wkth disappointment was aimed straight at them.

With that, Uraraka continued to fight Bakugo.

When it was the moment to strike and use her strategy. Ochako can feel the weight of the rubble with her quirk. She brings her hands together.

Uraraka: RELEASE!

She finally lets herself look up at the rubble floating above, just as it falls down to the ground.

Uraraka: This has to work! I can do this!

BOOM!!!!!

Uraraka looks up in shock to see the rubble all vanquished into nothing but pebbles by Bakugo's explosions.

The girl couldn't believe her eyes, but she didn't want to give up just yet...

However....Her legs gave out and she fell to the ground.

Uraraka: *Hurt* (Why won't...my body listen...?)
