....What?

A/N: Hey everyone. I made pictures of the whole class. I'll tell you who they are so you can memorize their appearance.

(Haru, Mikoto, and Sylvia)

(Lilac, Luna, and Riku)

(Samuel, Jack, and Eito)

(Oka, Kenji, and Yin)

(Zoe, Souta, and Kelly)

(Chassy, Hein, and Maria)

(Mio, Akira, and Destiny)

A/N: Do you guys like them...Sorry that I altered their appearances a bit. Some of it was hard to make so I had to go with the way it is. Anyway. Enjoy the rest of the story.

-Plus Ultra-

What happened next was something no one was excepting.

Lilac: I'm sorry everyone for not telling you this sooner but...I'm withdrawing from the Sports Festival.

This had surprised everyone...

The sweet and confident Lilac Eastwood was withdrawing from the Sports Festival...?!

Why....?

This caused an outrage.

Class 1-C: WHAT?!!

Souta: Annoying....

Haru: Y-You're trying to get out of the Sports Festival?

Riku: I cannot believe that Eastwood-san will not participate...

Destiny: Lilac-chan! What do you mean you're withdrawing from the Sports Festival?!!

Oka: What a tragedy this is....

Luna: Lilac-chan! What's your reason for not being there?

The girl only sighs at their questions. She knew this would happen. But...She can't really tell them the when thing why she's not going to be one of following members in the festival. So she responded.

Lilac: Guys. The U.A. Sports Festival is not about winning or beating the strongest in your class. But I'm not...I don't have the standards to fulfill the high expectations of everyone...It's like you all said about getting a hero to have you as their intern for Work Experience Week. I'm already going to intern with Recovery Girl after the festival, so therefore I don't really have much of a purpose of attending the festival....

Class 1-C: Oh....

Mikoto: If that's what you want then...We understand. It is your decision and we respect it. Right guys.

This earned some nods and agreements.

Mikoto then looked at Lilac. While she was walking to the sidelines, he noticed something on her arm.

Mikoto gapes atonished.

Mikoto:.....Is that a bruise? Where did she get that...?

By the looks of it, they couldn't possibly be from training. He's seen everyone fight before and he doubts either one of his classmates would have the intent to harm Lilac. He watches at the girl quickly heals the wounds with her quirk before anyone else could see them.

Hein:.....You saw that right?

Mikoto:...I thought I was the only one...How did you knew...?

Hein: My werewolf senses...I knew something was wrong the moment she gave that speech.

Mikoto: Yeah... There's no way she made those bruises herself...Now this is very concerning...

Hein only nodded feeling a sense of dread going through her stomach.

Mikoto: Hey...Do you think it's best we ask her...?

Hein:...Maybe later. Right now would probably be not a good time. We'll keep our distance. But in the meantime, we should probably talk to Present Mic about this...

Mikoto: Yeah...That would be a good idea...

Even if it seems the boy knows little to nothing about who is responsible for those bruises, he should at least be able to see how long has this gone on for and how often it happens...

He should at least do something to help.

Lilac Eastwood...

Her case was now looming with open questions.

After seeing the bruises and her change in personality.

It could be possible that Lilac is being abused at home...

Mikoto just hopes that he is wrong this time...

-Later-

While the pocket healer watches from the sidelines, everyone else was fighting each other with only hand to hand training.

Mikoto was up aganist Kelly.

The two boys circled each other, trying to get an opening before attacking. Neither can really wait as there was no sense in waiting anymore.

Kelly soon lunges forward, close to the ground. He reaches out with his palm, aiming for the other boy's head. Mikoto swiftly dodges. Kelly thrusts his other hand, clenched into a fist, at the boy's face.

Another dodge followed by a kick. Mikoto then took the opportunity to block Kelly's punches instead of dodging. He then uses the moment to throw the other boy to the ground by catching his leg and pulling upwards to try and apprehand him. Kelly realises what's going on and extends his hands to stand on them.

The boy kicks with his other leg, aiming upwards once again at Mikoto's face.

Then time it was direct hit.

Mikoto is forced to let go of the leg to dodge and Kelly twists to land on his feet again.

They start circling each other again.

Mikoto can feel the sweat beaming down his face before it froze up. He lunges forward again, opening with a kick. Kelly blocks. Mikoto punches. Kelly moves to dodge while Mikoto throws a upper cut punch and with timing makes Mikoto punch the other boy in the stomach which sends him flying back.

Kelly hits the ground. He tries to get up but clutches his stomach. Due to the blow, he seems to be a bit wounded and out of breath.

Mikoto: Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Did I punch too hard?!

Kelly: I-It's fine Class Rep...only an accident.

Mikoto: Lilac-san! We need you over here.

The girl nods and walks over to help Kelly up. The girl proceeds to heal him as Mikoto decided to take a break.

After training non-stop over the past few hours. He had the right to be exhausted.

During their training, and even between lessons with either Present Mic or Geysis. Some of their classmates would go up to Lilac to keep asking her to heal them.

It was a good idea so his classmates would not be really injured badly so they wouldn't have to go to Recovery Girl, but still injured enough for it to be irritating.

He just hopes after the speech the girl made, no one would take advantage of Lilac in this situation...

Because it kind of feels like they are...

His thoughts soon turned cloudy and heavy at the mentioned of the girl.

Mikoto: Lilac...

He sat down on one of benches before he noticed Riku coming up to him.

Riku: Yukimura-kun.

Mikoto: Yes...What is it?

Riku: It's All Might...He said he wanted to see you...It was something very important he mentioned...

Mikoto:....Eh?

-Plus Ultra-

While Mikoto was walking to the teacher's lounge to meet up with All Might. He still didn't know why the Symbol of Peace want with him...

The last time they talked was weeks ago at the Dagobah Beach.

As soon as he got there, he notices the door is open and peeked in to see All Might in his skeleton form.

Mikoto: All Might...?

Toshinori perks up at his hero name and turned to see the snow-user.

All-Might: Ah! Young Yukimura! Great to see you again! So glad you came!

Mikoto: Yeah. It has been a while...

Usually people would be so excited to talk to the Symbol of Peace. But now, Mikoto was kind of used to it and to be honest, looking at All Might right now in his true room was kind of a bit disturbing. But he wasn't gonna let it get to him.

Mikoto sat down in a chair next to the number one hero and noticed they were the only ones in the room.

Mikoto: So...What did wanted to see me for, sir?

All-Might happy grin had turned into a sad yet guilty look.

All-Might: I...wanted to apologise...

Mikoto looked at him confused. Apologise? For what?

Mikoto: For what exactly....?

All-Might: Back on the first day...when I paired up Young Midoriya aganist Young Bakugo...

Oh...Right...That...

Mikoto: All-Might....

All-Might: Please...Let me finish. I instinctively remember those two had a history because I met them back during their middle school days. I thought they were friends...but in the middle of the exam...I saw my mistake...Young Bakugo tried to kill Young Midoriya...I couldn't believe my eyes...Why would he do that...?

Mikoto:.....Because he's a bully...

All-Might's eyes went wide and the gears in his head started to turn as he put two and two together.

All-Might: Don't tell me he...

Mikoto looked down at his shoes.

Mikoto: Yeah...He was the one who bullied Izuku for years...I'm surprised you're just now finding out...

All-Might:.......I see...Then I was very wrong...I shouldn't have put those two together in the first place.

Mikoto shook his head. He didn't blame All-Might for not knowing. But it was still a naive thing for him to do.

Mikoto: All-Might...Don't be hard on yourself...You didn't know. Also...Why didn't Erasherhead or Nedzu told you about this matter...They found out few weeks ago...

All Might: I think...I remember Aizawa said something about it but I didn't press on. But still Young Bakugo should know better. He has potential to become a hero. But he shouldn't be wasting his powers on bullying the weak...

Mikoto: You...seem to know more than you're letting on All Might...Why are you telling me this anyway?

All Might sighs before speaking once more.

All Might: During my time as a hero, I was slowly losing faith in other heroes. Most heroes of today do what they do in order to get rich and famous. The real meaning of a Hero is lost to everyone...and it was also lost to me at some point...

Mikoto:....

All-Might: And sadly...Young Bakugo just proved that there are still some Pro-Heroes who are like that...I hoped that someday he will see the error of his ways...

Mikoto:....(That will probably take a long time due to him being a stubborn brat.)

All-Might: Want to know why I choose Young Midoriya to be my successor?

Mikoto:...Why?

All Might: I chose him as my successor because I believed that he could take my place - no, carve out a place for himself as the new Symbol of Peace....
It''s time for him to make your entrance. The UA sports festival is something that pro heroes - no, the whole country will be watching. One of the biggest events...and the biggest stage as well.

-Flashback-

All Might: I want you to tell the world - I am here.

Deku:....

-Flashback-

Mikoto: I see...

All-Might: Young Yukimura. I want you to also do your best. I seen how you and young Midoriya care about one another. That's why I want the both of you to support each other no matter what obstacle you both will face in the future. Remember, this is your hero academia!

Mikoto: ...Yes sir! I will do my best!

All-Might: Hahahahaha! Yes! That's the spirit!

Toshinori made a small grin before it deflated as he looked down a little.

Mikoto: All-Might? Is everything okay...?

All-Might: I.... should've never said those words to Young Midoriya that day.

Mikoto: What do you mean...?

All-Might: I...may haven't been telling the truth...about my quirk...

Mikoto:.....Eh?

All Might: Like I said before...
One for All is past down from generation to generation to those who are worthy of using it.

This time Mikoto's eyes went wide in realization.

Mikoto: So...you mean to tell me that you were...

All-Might:...Like Midoriya...I was also quirkless....

The atmosphere changed in the room dropping to a negative zero. Toshinori looked up at the boy in mutual horror as the room suddenly freezes over.

Mikoto: All-Might...You Hypocrite...

This time, Mikoto had every right to be angry. So here he was hearing that All Might said Izuku couldn't be a hero for being quirkless but All Might got to be a hero even though he was quirkless as well.

This pretty much proves All-Might isn't just naive...but he was also an hypocrite.

Mikoto: Heroes are supposed to inspire others, All Might... You're no better than the rest....

The boy stormed out of the room before he had the chance to freeze anything in his path leaving the shell-shock hero.

The boy called him a hypocrite.

Telling a quirkless kid who had a dream to be a hero that he couldn't be one...

What was he thinking...?

All-Might: I supposed I deserved that...

Become it was true...there are some Pro-Heroes out there that were nothing but hypocrites, fakes, and liars. He had never thought he would stoop to their level...

Toshinori secretly hopes Mikoto will find it in his heart to forgive him someday for adding more salt on the wound at Deku.

All-Might: Blaaaagh!!!

He then puked out blood...again..

All-Might: I'm wonder how long it will be before I actually reached my limit.

-Later-

Mikoto calmed down when he was in the hallways once again.

Mikoto: I can't believe All-Might. I thought he was a great hero. Sure...he is one. But seriously...

Also...Why haven't Principal Nedzu or Aizawa told All Might before...

Erasherhead despised bullying, viewing it as nothing more than a cowardly act of villainy committed by others as attempt to either heal themselves or trying to be better than their peers.

Mikoto wasn't sure what Nedzu think about the bullying.

That man...well...bear...or whatever he is...was a mystery.

But they could've discussed this situation with All-Might beforehand so they could avoid having another one of Bakugo's explosive episodes.

But...why did they decided to keep it a secret until the Symbol of Peace found out himself.

Mikoto: I don't get it...I really don't...All this is just confusing...

Deku: Miichan?

Mikoto: Aah?!

Mikoto Jumps at the sight of Izuku looking up at him with those big green eyes full of curiosity.

Mikoto: Izuku! Don't scare me like that! How long you been standing there.

Deku: S-Sorry! I was just going to the bathroom when I noticed you standing in the hallway deep in thought. I was thinking something was wrong. I-I'm sorry if I interrupted you! I-If you want me to leave! T-That's fine! I-I-I will-!

Mikoto grabbed him by his shoulders cutting him off.

Mikoto: IZUKU! Calm down! You didn't interrupt me. I was just in the zone...But I'm glad you're here!

Deku: *Smiles* Me too!

Mikoto: We haven't talked much over the past few days. Are you doing okay?

Deku: I-I am!

Mikoto:......

Deku: I swear! I'm fine!

Mikoto:....How many times you went to Recovery Girl?

Deku:....Three times this week.

Mikoto: God Damnit...

Deku: D-Don't worry Miichan! I'm really trying to control this quirk! All-Might wants me to do my best for the Sports Festival! I can't let him down!

Mikoto: (Forget the idiot hypocrite of hero...It's you I'm concerned about.) Don't worry about All-Might. But it's great to see that you're improving yourself....Just try to be more careful.

Deku: I-I'm trying!

Mikoto only sighs. He knows he is.

Mikoto: Hey...Izuku...

Deku: Yes?

Mikoto: I'm sorry on behalf of my idiot classmates declaring war on yours. I try to tell them that you guys weren't total snobs but they wouldn't listen.

Deku: O-Oh that's okay Miichan. I'm sure they didn't mean it...I mean think about it. This is all for the Sports Festival. They just to prove themselves to be great heroes. Everyone here does.

Mikoto: ...Alright...Also. Izuku! I been meaning to ask you. Could you lead me some of your notes! I was hoping it could help my class improve on our skills!

Deku: O-Of course!

Mikoto: And don't worry buddy! It's not cheating! It's studying.

Deku: I-I know that!

Izuku then hand him one of his hero analysis journals. Mikoto read through a few pages and noticed himself in it.

Mikoto: (Wow...He memorised everything...Wait what is this...OMG That's it! This could help!)

Mikoto made a smile and hugged the smaller teen causing a small squeak to come out of Izuku.

Mikoto: Thanks Buddy! With this. I can study and help my classmates focus on their quirks and skills.

Deku: Y-You're welcome! Anything to help.

Mikoto: Yep...I should get going now. We're running out of time since the Sports Festival is only a few days away!

Deku: You too! Good luck Miichan!

Mikoto: Ditto! Oh and Izuku...?

Deku: Yeah?

Mikoto gave him a smirk that show a bit of rivalry.

Mikoto: May the best hero class win!
