~ Chapter 9 ~

Today they are back at U.A.

"Everyone listen! It's time for this morning's home period. Take a seat!"

Tenya stood behind the teacher's desk as he ordered them with his hands spread out.

"We're already in our seats except you. You are the only one standing." Hanta pointed out, making him lose his composure.

"Dang it!!" wailed Tenya as he grudely sit down.

"Don't worry about it." smiled Ochaco.

"Oh did you guys watch the news last night?" asked Tohru.

"Yeah."

"Oh yeah that."

"But man, all the channels made a big deal out of it! We're almost like famous!"

Denki folded his arms behind his head leaning back against his chair.

"I was surprised."

"Don't get full of yourselves." Kyoka said looking unimpressed.

"Who knows what would have happened if the teachers didn't come to save us."

"Don't say that, Sero! Just thinking about it is making me wet myself!" wailed Mineta moving his fists around.

Y/N whacked him with her tail.

"Grow up. And shut up. I'm trying to read here."

"So Tsu, who's gonna teach homeroom today?" asked Mina.

"Don't know." Tsu placed her finger against her cheek thinking. "Aizawa-sensei is still in the hospital recovering from his injuries."

Just then the door slide open as they thought there will be a substitute teacher and boy were they wrong. Aizawa was here covered in bandages on his face and both arms that is hanging on both sides making him look like a mummy.

"Morning." deadpanned Aizawa.

"Mr. Aizawa, you're back too soon!"

"You're too much of a pro!"

"So are you alright, Mr. Aizawa?"

"You call that alright?"

"My well-being doesn't matter. More importantly, the fight isn't over yet." Aizawa said.

"Fight?"

"Don't tell me.."

"Villains again..?!"

"U.A. Sports Festival is drawing near."

"THAT'S SUPER NORMAL SCHOOL EVENT!!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" exclaimed Denki squishing Ejiro's face to stop his excitement.

"Is it really okay to have a sports festival in a time like this after the villains snuck inside and attack us?"

"Apparently, they think that U.A. is showing that our crisis management system is solid as a rock by holding the event. Security will be strengthened 5 times. Above all this is our high chance. It's not something we could cancel because of the villains."

"But that's a good reason, isn't it? It's just a festival of sports." Mineta shakily said.

"Mineta, you've never seen the U.A. sports festival?" Izuku asked.

"Of course I have! That's not what I meant!"

"Our sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events. In the past, the Olympics were called festival of sports, and the whole country was crazy about them. As you know, reductions in scale and population, they're now a shell of their former glory. And now for Japan, what has taken of those Olympics is the U.A. sports festival!"

"Of course, all the top pro heroes around the country will be watching. For scouting purposes!" Momo added.

"After we graduate, it's typical to join a pro agency as sidekick." Denki said with a wink.

"A lot of people miss their chance to become independent after that and become eternal sidekicks, though. Kaminari, I feel like you'd be one of them. Since you're dumb." Kyoka said hitting the sore spot on him, making Y/N snicker.

"Of course, joining famous hero agency will get you more experience and popularity. Time is limited. If you expect to go pro, then the path to your future will open up at this event. Once a year a total of 3 chances. No aspiring heroes can afford to miss this event. If you understand that, then don't slack off on your preparations!"

"Yes, sir!!"

"Homeroom is dismissed."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was now lunchtime after their teacher Mr. Cementos left.

"Even though all of stuff happened, I'm really excited!" Eijiro cheered getting pumped up.

"Well, if it is a competition. Then, bring it on." Y/N said who was by Eijiro's desk.

"You are gonna love it. I promise you it will be fun. I know it."

"Okay."

"If we put on a good show and stand out, we'll have taken the first step to becoming a pro!" Hanta praised elbowing Eijiro's shoulder.

"It was worth coming to U.A.!" Rikido said.

"We will only receive a few chances. We can't afford to miss it." Fumikage replied.

Y/N noticed Tenya's weird move for getting pumped up, making her snicker a bit.

"Deku-kun. Iida-kun." the dark voice called.

Tenya and Izuku shriek to see Ochaco's dark face with a glare and dark aura around her.

"Let's do our best at the sports festival!"

"U-Uraraka-san, your face..! It's.."

"W-what's with you?"

"Uraraka change?"

"PM-"

Mineta was about to say something gross, but thanks to Tsu who slapped him hard with her long tongue.

"Everyone, I'm gonna do my best!"

"Y-yeah!"

"Um..yeah!"

They all sweatdropped at Ochaco's shout.

"I don't know what's wrong with your friend, but I'm pretty sure she's excited." Y/N chuckled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

School has ended as the Class 1-A were about to take their leave when there's a large crowd of students from different courses blocking their way.

"W-What's going on?!"

"What business do you have with Class A?"

"We can't get out! What'd you come here for anyway?"

"Scouting out the enemy, small fry. We're the only ones who made it out of the villains' attack. They probably want to check us out before the sports festival." Katsuki calmly said with some anger.

Mineta's was shock at Katsuki's reply as he pointed at him as Izuku calmed him down that he's in neutral.

"There's no point doing stuff like that. So out of my way, extras!"

"Stop calling people 'extras' just because you don't know them!"

Tenya chopped the air with his hand as the rest shook in fear. Y/N walked over to where Katsuki was and about to stop him when she heard a tired voice. She looked to see the boy with purple spiky hair and dark bags underneath his eyes. It looks like he needed some sleep.

"I came to see what the famous Class A was like, but you seem pretty arrogant. Are all the students in hero course like this?"

Everyone shook their heads as a no that they're not like this while Katsuki glared feeling offended.

"There are quite a few people who enrolled in general studies or other courses because they didn't make it into the hero course. The school has left those of us a chance. Depending on the results of the sports festival, they'll consider our transfer into the hero course. And it seems they may also transfer people out. Scouting out the enemy? I, at least, came to say that even if you're in hero course, if you get too carried away, I'll sweep your feet out from under you. I came with a declaration of war."

Everyone stood there shocked at his boldness. Y/N though didn't like it and understand that he's upset he never get into the hero course. She stood over to him, pushing Katsuki out of the way and hovered him.

"Listen here. You may think that someone will transport them to the other course when they have worked hard to get here. I don't know what your intentions are and I don't care. But threatening my friends? Bullshit." she said giving him the intimidation glare with her eyes glowing red. "That sounds unhero like. Learn to at least challenge them. And don't judge them based on Katsuki's behavior; that doesn't mean they are like him. Get to know them first."

Her and the boy had a stare off but he was shocked with her outburst and felt terrified with her glare as everyone whispered in silence.

"Y/N can be scary sometimes. But I'm glad she's standing up."

"Let's hope that they won't hate us."

"Hey, hey! I'm from Class B next door! I heard you fought against villains, so I came to hear 'bout it! Don't get so full of yourself! If you bark too much, it'll be embarrassing for you durin' the real fight!" someone shouted.

Y/N turned and gave someone a glare making them flinch until her eyes widened.

"Tetsutetsu?"

Her eyes no longer glow red and it's now back to her (F/C) eyes.

"Ah! Y/N! So great to see you again! Sorry about my attitude. So embarrassing.." Tetsutetsu said with a small blush on his cheeks.

"She knows him?!"

"How you've been?"

"Been great! Although, I am disappointed that you're not in the same class as mine. But you're in Class 1-A?! Damn! I feel sorry for you having to deal with those idiots who are full of themselves! You would've been better in Class 1-B with me."

"Sorry, I'll pass. But my friends are not full of themselves. Just to let you know."

"Right. See you in the sports festival! Give it all you've got if you and I are against each other!"

"Gladly. Come on, Eijiro. Let's go home."

"Ah! Right!"

Y/N left as Eijiro followed while everyone whispered at how cool she is, remembered seeing her on TV for the first time taking down the the hard head dinosaur and calmed it. She ignored it and began taking plans for her training for Sports Festival.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/N is in the forest filled with bamboos as she meditated while taking a deep breath with her hearing abilities. She then used her anger eyes that are glowing and her teeth bared. She then jumped and brought out her claws slicing the bamboos into pieces. Growling as she bit the bamboo off with her mouth before spitting it out. Then, she jumped onto the bamboo and spun around in mid-air and slammed her leg onto all the bamboos that are in the way.

All the bamboos broke in half or pieces as she landed safely. When she heard the snap, she quickly turned and broke the bamboos with her tail and snapped them with her claws to open and see who goes there. But she found no one. She shrugged it off and went to her training more stronger and faster. Someone who snapped the stick they have stepped on reveal the figure that looks femine and had a tail.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is the day the sports festival has finally come. All Class 1-A are in the waiting room.

"Man I wanted to wear my costume." Mina pouted.

"To keep everything fair, we can't." Mashirao said.

"Everyone! Are you ready? We will be entering soon!" Tenya announced.

Izuku took a deep breath feeling nervous while Mineta chanted person.

"Midoriya." someone called and it was Shoto.

That was unexpected of him to actually talk when he was the quiet type so something must have changed him.

"Todoroki-kun? What is it?"

Katsuki turned to listen of what's going on as everyone else turned to look at them.

"Looking at things objectively, I think I'm stronger than you."

"Huh? Y-Yeah.."

"But..All Might has his eye on you, doesn't he? I'm not trying to pry about it. But I'm going to beat you."

Izuku gasped not expecting him to declare a war against him. Not in a million years. This has caused Eijiro to stand up from his seat.

"Ohhh? The best in the class making a declaration of war?" Denki questioned.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you picking a fight all of the sudden? Not now, we're about to start!"

Eijiro grabbed his shoulder, but he shrugged it off.

"We're not here to make friends. So what does it matter?"

Y/N who was leaning against the wall was finding it a bit rude because they have a festival coming up.

"Todoroki-kun, I don't know what you're thinking when you say you'll beat me, but of course you're better than me. I think you're most capable than most people.. Looking at it objectively.."

"Midoriya, don't talk so negatively.." Eijiro tried to cheer him up but was cut off when he wasn't done speaking.

"But! Everyone the students from the other courses are aiming for the top with everything they've got! I can't afford to fall behind. I'll be going for it with everything I have too."

Everyone was in awe of his words. Shoto with a slight surprised look had his eyes shown determine.

"Yeah."

Katsuki growled feeling as though he was never declared the war by him. Shoto then turned to you.

"As for you L/N, you may be strong and have been placed first, I am going to beat you too."

Y/N was surprised for a sec before chuckling making him flinch at bit. She then stopped and look at him with her red glowing eyes again.

"Sure. I don't bother holding back."

Agitated, Katsuki clenched his teeth that he's picking another rival. Eijiro was surprised by her reply and never expect her to accept it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey! Pay attention, audience! Swarm, mass media! This year's high school rodeo of adolescence that you all love, the U.A. sports festival is about to begin! Everybody, are you ready?! It's time for the students to enter the first-year stage! The huge battle where fledgling heroes sharpen their swords once a year! Anyway, these are they guys, right? The miraculous new stars who overcame enemy attacks with their hearts of steel! Hero course, Class 1-A, right?!"

Everyone was out of the shadows as they walked out of the stadium. You could hear the crowd roaring and Present Mic announcing their arrival.

"Will we be able to give our best performance being watched by so many people? This is also part of training required to become a hero!" Tenya said feeling excited yet nervous.

"Man, he's going overboard with that praise! I'm getting nervous! Aren't you, Bakugou? Y/N?" Eijiro asked.

"No, I'm just getting more into it." Katsuki darkly grinned.

"...Excited actually. But I am a bit nervous upon seeing everyone watching us."

"They haven't been getting as much airtime, but this class is also full of talent! Hero Course, Class 1-B! Next up, general studies Classes C, D, and E! Support course, Classes F, G, and H are here too! And business course, Classes I, J, and K! All of U.A.'s first years are here now!"

Y/N saw Tetsutetsu as they walk by and he noticed her and waved at her giving her the grin showing his shark teeth. She nodded with a smile before Midnight came from the stage in her R-Rated costume holding the whip.

"Time for the player pledge!"

All the guys were blushing and gushing at her.

"What is she wearing?!" Eijiro blushed trying to look away.

"That's R-Rated hero for you!" Denki smiled while blushing.

Y/N shook her head and covered Eijiro's eyes while slapping Denki in the back of his head.

"Silence everyone! Representing the student is Y/N L/N from Class 1-A!" Midnight said searching for her from the crowd and found you, giving you the smile.

Everyone turned to Y/N who was shocked and decided to go over to the stage.

"It's Y/N?" Izuku questioned.

"Well, she did finish first in the entrance exam." Hanta said.

The girl from general course sighed in annoyance. "In the hero course."

"R-Right.."

"It's obvious she hates us." Hanta leaned forward and arched an eyebrow.

"And it's all Bakugo's fault." Denki muttered so the ash blond wouldn't hear or else he'll kill him.

Y/N touched the microphone flinching to hear a sound and turned to Midnight.

"What am I going to say?"

"Anything." she patted her back.

Y/N looked through the crowd thinking for a moment, taking a deep breath.

"I pledge... that I'll do my best and give it a best shot. That goes for everyone that didn't get to make it to enter the hero course. I think that this is their chance to prove themselves to everyone that judged them, how capable they are and such potential they have. Let's all have fun and do our best. Plus Ultra."

She then bowed as the crowd cheered and looked at the first years as they started to smile and cheer as well. Some gave her the shy smile with blush on their faces and their eyes shown hope and determination. That is one way to not let the course hate her friends and walked down the stairs. Midnight smiled feeling proud.

"That's amazing, Y/N!" Eijiro wrapped his arm around her neck.

Y/N smiled as she received a pats and hugs as Midnight then announced what they are about to do.

"Now, let's get started right away. The first game is what you'd call a qualifier! Every year, many drink their tears here! Now here is the fateful first game! This year, it's...Obstacle Race! All 11 classes will participate in this race. The course will be the outer circumference of this stadium about 4 km! Our school's selling point is freedom! As long as you stay on the course, it doesn't matter what you do! Now take your places everyone!"

All the classes gathered in front of the starting gate as they got into their running stance and readied themselves. They waited as the first light was turned off. Y/N looked around knowing it will be crowded in the gate. She had to go fast. She then brought out her claws and tail and got onto her fours.

Second light turned off as the growl was heard as she brought out her sharp teeth and the scales are shown on her face and arms as they cover her.

The last light was now fully turned off and her eyes were red as she was now transformed into the Indoraptor and puffed out her nose.

"Start!"
