Somewhere around the Booths,

After your illusion copy returned to you, you began to listen in to what your copy has gathered, for you to understand what is going on and why Deku was with Todoroki. As you picture the situation, you nod at understanding at what Todoroki had to endure since young till now, looking at the stadium before you while you are seen eating some food you bought from one of the Booths.

(y/n): I see... Todoroki has it hard, too.... like me....

You said while munching on your food.

As you were enjoying you little snack break, you can feel someone tugging on your attire by the pants for you to look down to see a kid.

(y/n): Oh. Why hello, kid. looks behind the kid having a shock look Well,... kids to correct myself.

You said as you see some kids crowding in front of you.

Kid 1: You're Cerebro, aren't you?

Kid 3: The Reio- Rei- oh... nix???

(y/n): It's Reionics. R-E-I-O-N-I-C-S. Reionics. And yes, kids. I'm the Reionics Hero: Cerebro.

Kids: Wooooww~!

(y/n): Heheh.

Kid 2: Your quirk is amazing, you know that? Getting to use monsters as your own arsenal!

Kid 1: Yeah. And You can even summon them from your support item, too?

(y/n): Oh this? shows the Giga Battlenizer Well, it stores over one hundred monsters in it.

Kids: looks at the Battlenizer in awe

Kid 5: We want to be like you, Cerebro.

A kid mentioned, for the others to support his idea.

(y/n): Whoa whoa whoa, kids. Let's not jump it. And in fact, you really wouldn't want to be like me, really.

Kid 3: Oh?

Kid 2: Why not?

(y/n): The quirk I have, Reionics, is a gift and a curse.

Kid 6: Why's that?

(y/n): Well, for starters, if you have Reionics inside of you, its true agenda will make you drive to keep fighting with no breaks, which will eventually cause you to tire out and weaken. There are cases you can go berserk from it. And when you have Reionics, the monsters you are paired, when they suffer, you'll suffer as well. When you perish, you.... well,.... you'll understand when you get older, kids.

Kid 1: So, when one of your monsters get hurt, you'll also feel the same pain as your monsters?

(y/n): Yes, kid. When you have one of these, as in, then you'll feel the true effects of the Reionics coursing through you.

You said, fishing out your own diary as you showed them the Battlenizer while showing your Neo Battlenizer.

Kids: Whoa....

Kid 4: Why is this Battlenizer different from the one on the picture, Cerebro?

(y/n): Good question. When my monsters and my willpower to fight grows stronger, my quirk will not only grow stronger, but my Battlenizer, too.... will evolve. The one I have now is its evolved form known as the NEO Battlenizer.

Kid 4: Cool.

Kid 1: But still, after seeing you compete out there, we were inspired by you and wanted to be like you.

Kid 5: Yeah. Guess we can't after we heard about your quirk's drawback, though...

The kid said as you see them lowering their heads.

You smiled as you shook your head in defeat as you have something in mind for them.

(y/n): Alright alright, enough with the puppy eyes and the sad faces, I have an idea. Give me some time to call in a few favors and when I have them, I'll let you know.

Kid 2: But, the drawbacks?

(y/n): Don't worry about them. Like I said, I'll call in a few favours.

Kid 1: So we can be like you, excluding the drawbacks?

(y/n): Yes, kid. I'll exclude the drawbacks as the favour call-ins will be making them hand-made for you guys.

You said with a smile.

Then, out of nowhere, the kids rush in for a hug as they hugged you tight, for you to hug them back. While you and the kids were having a moment, you hear Present Mic commentaring, once again as the Final Round is about to begin.

(y/n): Well, kids. It has been fun seeing you and wanting to be like me in the future. But for now, duty calls for Cerebro.

You said.

Kid 5: You go, Cerebro!

Kid 2: Win this Sports Festival!

Kid 3: Yeah!

(y/n): Heheh, you know I will.

You put up a thumbs up, then rushes off.

As you rush off, the kids waved farewell to you while you were making your way back inside the Stadium to be briefed on the Final Round. While running back in, you smiled to yourself after your brief encounter with the kids.

(y/n): Those kids sure are inspired and excited to become great heroes like me, huh? sighs in happiness Never thought I'd see the day that I have additional recruits when this Earth becomes a new Earth Colony for my Earth... I'm just glad that there are people supporting me in many sizes, even the audience, too. If only Dail were to see and hear this now....

You said, feeling happy for the support and the inspiration you brought to the audience and to the kids. You even thought of Dail after telling everyone your story about him.

As you reached inside the stadium, you began to see the other competitors making their way to the stage as Midnight can be seen preparing to brief us on what's to come for the Final Round. Once reached, you see your classmates and Deku as you made your way to them.

(y/n): Hey, guys.

Deku: Oh, hey (y/n).

Mina: Hey, (y/n). Or should I say, Cerebro~ Nice touch on the name.

(y/n): Hey, thanks. So, what did I miss?

Kirishima: Not much, actually. We just figured out that this will be a tournament match! Man, I'm so pumped!

(y/n): Tournament, huh? Is it like this or does it change?

Sero: They switch it up everytime, (y/n). As informed to our classmates, last year was a Kendo Match... if I remember correctly.

(y/n): Ah, I see. So each year is a different kind of game, then. Including the First and Second Rounds, yes?

Sero: You said it, man.

Sero replied.

As you nod in understanding, you notice the girls in your class have Cheerleader Costumes worn on.

(y/n): Uuuuhh... why're y'all-

Jirou: you don't wanna know....

(y/n): sighs Mineta?

Momo: And Kaminari, too....

(y/n): ooooooh, okay.

You said.

Then, Midnight can be seen walking on stage as she is seen carrying a 'Lots' Box in hand.

Midnight: Come closer and draw lots to see who you're up against. Then enjoy the pleasure of the Recreational Games before we start. The seventeen Finalists have the option of participating in those activities or sitting out to prepare for battle. I'm sure all want to conserve your stamina. I'll start with the First Place Team.

Midnight said as she made her way to Team Todoroki when Ojiro raised his hand.

Ojiro: Um.... Excuse me? 

Ojiro raised his hand.

The other competitors noticed this as they looked at Ojiro.

Ojiro: Sorry... but I'm withdrawing.

He said.

When everyone heard the news, Deku, Ida and you were shocked at the sudden words coming out from Ojiro.

Deku: Ojiro? No way...

Ida: This a rare chance for you to get scouted.

Ojiro: lowers hand It just wouldn't be right.... I barely remembered anything in the Cavalry Battle until the very end of it. I... think it was that guy's quirk.

When you heard this, you began to look at someone looking at Ojiro and your classmates.

(y/n): Hmmm.... if I recall correctly, he was with this guy and was carrying him... but when my Team ran pass him.... his eyes were.... growls

(y/n) (Inner Thoughts): What . did . you . do....

You growled and said in your mind.

When he saw you looking at him, he suddenly turn away, thinking nothing has happened. You let it be for now and turned back to Ojiro as you listened to him explaining himself.

Ojiro: I know this is a great opportunity, I wish I could take advantage of it but my conscience won't let me....

Deku: J-Just think about this...

Ojiro: I have, okay?!

Everyone was shocked by his slight outburst.

Ojiro: Everyone gave their all at Round 2 but I was just someone's puppet. No way... I don't want to advance if I don't even know how I got here... it wouldn't be fair.

Hagakure: You're thinking way too much of this! Just kill it in the Finals and prove you should be here.

Mina: Yeah, what she said. I didn't do much in a battle either.

Ojiro: It's not it! placing my palm over my face ... I'm talking about my pride, here... I'd refuse to give that up...!

Deku and Ida look with concern, when-

Ojiro: Also, why are all the girls dress like cheerleaders?

When Ojiro ask that, this made all the girls from your class to be flustered about it.

(y/n): Yyyyyyou wouldn't wanna know.... but I can give you one guess.... that's all I can say....

You mention.

Ojiro: I... I see...

???: Umm.... Nirengeki Shoda from Class 1-B. I think I should withdraw from the exact same reason... regardless on how strong I am. This isn't how I wanted to get here. It would go against the values of the Festival to advance witthout earning my spot.

Nirengeki said, expressing himself, concerning other competitors, knowing that they now have a short of two competitors now.

Hearing this, you smiled and made your way to the two who willingly withdrawn from being in the finals, understanding their situation and their pain.

(y/n): Ojiro, Nirengeki. Come here for a second?

Ojiro: ???

Nirengeki: Umm... okay?

They said as they walked to you. As you three stopped in front of each other, You began to speak.

(y/n): I understand whatever happened to you two must have scarred you both, and it hurts you, too.

Ojiro & Nirengeki: looks down and nods

(y/n): But look at me.

Ojiro & Nirengeki: Huh?

Both were puzzled as you began to undress your top, revealing many healed scars before everyone, to literally everyone's shock and surprised that you're still alive.

Showing the scars to the two, you used your fist to pat your chest hard while smiling.

(y/n): Does this look like I'm hurt? 

Ida: Those scars....

Deku: (y/n)....

Tsu: ribbit....

(y/n): My Captain told me this at that one time.... For a spaceman or a person, EACH scar is a Medal. For every successful mission or failed mission, is an experience to improve ourselves to become better. 

You said, smiling while putting your top attire back on.

(y/n): I understand your wanted to save your prides, I get that. But don't pull yourselves down over a small thing and over a quirk. Treat this, as an experience to improve yourselves, to better yourselves for future battles. Treat that Quirk's effect on you both for a scar as a medal, that you have experienced something, knowing that you are willing to improve yourselves in the future. looks at Deku Just look at Deku for example. His quirk caused him his scars on his arms and hands. And yet he still kept going, knowing that these scars on his hands, are Medals and his experience has lead him to improve on his quirk, slowly and steadily. looks back at the two Don't forget, you both have friends here to help you... go to them and they'll support you, looks at Ojiro like how you and Class 1-A supported me after I told you all my backstory on how I got here. 

You said. 

Then, you placed your hands on Ojiro and Nirengeki's shoulder.

(y/n): So.... don't worry about your pride. It's not tarnished... it's just scarred by someone's quirk. Treat this, as a medal and experience to go forth and improve yourselves in the future. Do that, and I'm sure you'll be noble heroes, like me when I showed you all my scars and keep perservering until the very finish. This, is not about pride or glory. This, is about friendship, honour and the drive within us, telling us to keep going.

You said.

Ojiro and Nirengeki looked at each other, smiling, then looks back to you, nodding at this.

Ojiro: Thank you, (y/n).

Nirengeki: Yeah.... that speech... kinda made me feel a bit better, actually.

Ojiro: Yeah, me too.

(y/n): Well, I'm glad my Captain's words have opened your hearts and help you stand tall once again, my friends.

You said, for Kirishima to be seen tearing over this.

Kirishima: Listen to these guys and (y/n)!! S-So manly....

Kirishima said while still tearing.

Present Mic (From the Commentary Box): Well now... there's another turn of events....

Eraserhead (From the Commentary Box): We'll have to see what Midnight has to say about all this, she's the one in-charge....

The Commentators said.

On stage, after listening to what Ojiro and Nirengeki have to say, more importantly what you also saidabout scars and experiences, Midnight began to speak, again.

Midnight: This sort of talk is incredibly naive, my boys. Especially you, Cerebro and your encouraging words to bring back their spirits! That turns me on! Shoda and Ojiro! You're withdrawn!!

Midnight announced. 

Competitors: Did she just say it turns her on???

(y/n): .... i seriously need to find out how she LITERALLY got to teach in this school, and be in-charge of the Festival with her wretched obscene and lewdish behaviour......

You said silently.

Midnight: Now let's see... We'll have to move up three students from the Fifth Place Cavalry Team so we have enough contestants.

Midnight mentions.

???: We were frozen most of the time. Honestly we barely did anything in the Cavalry Battle. Isn't that right?

??? 2: Uh-huh...

???: Girls?

??? 3 & ??? 4: nods

???: You should choose from the group who kept fighting the whole time. Team Tetsutetsu.

The girl mention.

This shocked Team Tetsutetsu as the Leader began to speak.

Tetsutetsu: Kendo?!

Kendo: I'm not doing this as a favour. It's just fair.

Kendo said.

This made Tetsutetsu feel overjoyed by this.

Tetsutetsu: Seriously.... you guys.... THAAANK YYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tetsutetsu yelled in happiness.

(y/n): Hmm... high spirited, huh? Love the drive, there.

You commented to yourself.

After awhile of yelling, Midnight begins to announce the three competitors who will be joining in the Final Round of the Tournament.

Midnight: And so, Tetsutetsu, Shiozaki and Yosetsu has advanced to the finals. Now, take a look at the huge screen, my dears. These are your opponents!

Midnight said.

On the huge screen, it began to show the a table for the competitors to see who their fighting against. You looked at your name to see that you are against someone by the name of  Yosetsu, for you to start thinking what his quirk is.

(y/n): Yosetsu, huh? Wonder who he is and what quirk he has.

You said, wondering to yourself.

???: Umm, excuse me. You're (y/n) (l/n), right? Also known as the Reionics Hero: Cerebro?

Someone behind ask you.

You turn around to see who it was.

(y/n): Yes? You must be....

???: I'm Yosetsu Awase. 

(y/n): Ah, so you're Yosetsu. 

Yosetsu: That's me. 

(y/n): So, excited?

Yosetsu: Yeah. You?

(y/n): Totally. Wish you luck.

Yosetsu: You, too man.

You both wish each other luck before heading to your separate ways to ready yourselves. 

As you did, you notice Deku walking with Ojiro to the waiting room and thought you should catch up with them while giving Deku some encouragement to be strong when he's out there. So, you ran to catch up to them as you three began to talk about their preparations for Deku's First Round Battle and your First Round Battle for the Final Round in the Tournament.

To be Continued....
