S2 Chapter 19 Sport Festival Finale
No one's POV
After the battle with Shoto, both Sora and Shoto were immediately taken to Recovery Girl's room to get their wounds heal. Shoto was laying down on the bath looking at his left side that he had used during their fight, while for Sora—
Sora: Oooooowwwwwww! Please be more gentle, Recovery Girl!
Sora was groaning with pain as his left side was still being healed by Recovery Girl. His left side was frozen during his fight with Shoto, and the cold temperature had made his skin turned blue.
Recovery Girl: It's your own fault for being so reckless! I can't believe you still have the will to fight after having your left side frozen like that!
Recovery girl then also glared at Shoto.
Recovery Girl: You as well! Didn't we warned you not to go overboard?
Shoto: Sorry.
Shoto's replied was simple that it irritates Recovery Girl even more. She sighed softly before looking at Sora telling him about his conditions.
Recovery Girl: I've stopped the bleeding from flowing out. But it's only a temporary fix. If you do another aggressive move, the wounds will reopen. So you better not overexert yourself in your last fight!
Sora: Right. Forgive me. Well then, Todoroki, I'll head out first.
Shoto:...
Shoto didn't reply back and still continue to looked at his left side that he had once again used. Sora didn't pry any further knowing that Shoto had a lot in his mind and left him alone. He returned towards the venue and looked at the second semi-final matches, which was Sarada vs Katsuki. The duel between Katsuki and Sarada is ongoing, with Sarada being forced back by Katsuki's constant attacks.
Preseny Mic: Match two of the semifinals! Bakugo vs Uchiha! Bakugo's rush is unstoppable!
Katsuki: Your strength won't be able to beat me!
Sarada: You need more than just explosive rush to stopped me!
Though despite Katsuki's onslaught, Sarada was countering quite well. While defending herself from all those explosiveness, she was looking for an opening. And she knew quite well how Katsuki fought, since she likes to butthead with him when they were little.
Sarada: There!
Katsuki: !
Seeing how Katsuki's habit is showing by flinging his right hand upwards for a finishing move, Sarada made her moved first. As soon as Katsuki raised his hand, Sarada jumps in and clenched her fist tightly. Gathering her aura on her right hand, she lets out a ferocious punch right onto Katsuki's face.
Sarada: CHA-NARAAAAAAAA!!
Present Mic: A Direct hit!
Mina: Right in the face!
Momo: That's gotta hurt!
It was truly a punch like no other. Katsuki who was hit in the face almost lost consciousness. He knew that Sarada's strength was not to be underestimated, but he never truly realized just how overwhelming her fist was. He was sent flying with amazing speed and he would have gone out of bounds if he had lost consciousness there. But thankfully he didn't and managed to propel himself back into the arena with his explosive hands and continue his onslaught.
Katsuki: Dammit!
Sarada(mind): He actually withstood my punch!
Naruto: This is starting to be a good match.
Hinata: Yeah, a serious showdown between childhood rivals, huh? Not bad
Naruto: I've been through some of those before.
All Might: Young Uchiha's father should have come to watch this.
Naruto: I'm sure he's already here.
Naruto, Hinata, and All Might comment on how the match has improved. Sasuke watches it from the stands. Both fighters are truly giving it their all. The girl's body is scorch, the boy's body was swollen. Both is good at close combat. Truly a magnificent battle comparable with the last semifinals match.
Katsuki: You Lightning Beast! It's about time we end this!
Sarada: For once I agree! But I'm the one who's gonna take the win!
Sarada prepares a Chidori and Katsuki prepare his Explosion. Once both fighters were ready, they looked at each other eyes. They both had resolved themselves that this would be their final attack. The tension is clear in the air. The spectators watched with bated breath with no one daring to blink. And then—
Sarada: CHIDORI!! CHA-NARAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Sarada flies through towards Katsuki at blinding speed. A flash of light was seen there and there. Sarada was giving no room to spare for Katsuki to dodge as she fly straight into the Explosive Boy. Katsuki meanwhile seeing Sarada fly straight towards him in blinding speed, smirk instead. Despite Sarada closed the gap between them in less than a minute, Katsuki was prepared to counter attack.
Katsuki: I've been waiting for that!
Sarada: !!
Katsuki: STUN GRENADE!!
Just as Sarada closed in on Katsuki wanting to land her attack, Katsuki raised both arms and unleashing his special move: Stun Grenade. The bright light as well as the firepower in Katsuki's attack was able to blind Sarada's sight and counter her Chidori that was about to hit him. Though the backlash within both fighters attack was able to caused a medium sized explosion in the center of the arena.
Present Mic: Hey, everything's covered in smoke again! What happened?
Midnight and Cementoss once again had to braced themselves against the collision of two fierce attack. Once the explosion cleared the spectator gasped at what they saw. Sarada was on the ground with Katsuki's right hand on her face pinning her down, while on his left was his explosive near her face.
Sarada: Dammit. How did you—?
Katsuki: Your greatness weakness is that when you unleash your Chidori, your eyes couldn't keep up with your speed. All I had to do is to mess your eyesight than the game is mine, moron. Checkmate.
Katsuki exploits Sarada's weakness before pinning his opponent down.
Sarada: I yield.
Midnight: Uchiha gives up! Bakugo wins!
Present Mic: With this, the final match will be between Uzumaki and Bakugo!
Having been bested, Sarada surrenders, allowing Katsuki to move on to the finals to face Sora.
Ochako: It's too bad about Sarada...
Hanta: I thought Sarada would win.
Denki: I guess this means she isn't invincible.
Eijiro: So her weakness is that her eyes still couldn't keep up with her speed, huh? I see... Bakugo likes to go after stuff like that...
Denki and Hanta are surprised by Katsuki's victory and Eijiro comments that Katsuki was the perfect person to exploit Sarada's weakness.
Kendo: You picked a fight with someone outrageous, huh?
Monoma: Naw, he was just lucky his Quirk was so good against his opponent.
Itsuka teases Neito for making enemies out of Katsuki, but he replies that Katsuki was just lucky he got a matchup where his Quirk worked well against his opponent's. Izuku looked at the screen to see his two friends Sora and Katsuki who was about to face each other.
Izuku: I wonder what'll happen a match between those two...
Tenya: We'll have to watch carefully and get our revenge next time.
Izuku: Yeah.
Tenya said to Izuku with a smile until his phone rings.
Izuku and Ochako: Whoa, what is it?!
Tenya: My phone.
Izuku and Ochako: His phone, huh?
He pardons himself to speak with his mother, who informs him that his brother has been severely injured by a villain.
(Elsewhere)
After getting her wounds treated by Recovery Girl, Sarada then walks out of the room and starts heading to the Class 1-A stands, but as she was walking through the halls she suddenly stops while her hair was covering her eyes. She then slams her left fist on the wall as hard as she could.
Sarada: *quietly* I lost...
Sarada then starts to get more frustrated and raises her voice even louder.
Sarada: I lost... I lost...I lost, I lost, I lost, I lost, I lost, I LOST!
Sora: Seems like you're taking this loss pretty well.
Sarada then turns around to see Sora behind her.
Sarada: Sora...
Sora: Good work, on the match.
Sarada's eyes only looks towards the ground with her bangs covering her eyes. Sora notices that her expression hasn't changed in the slightest, he sighs and then begins to speak again.
Sora: Win or lose doesn't matter. As long as you don't give up, that what's matter, is it not?
Sarada: Still, a lost is still a lost. I'm frustrated. I want to face you in the finals!
Sora: Same goes for me. Still, shouldn't you have resolved yourself even when you lose? Since that's what my Master told me.
Sarada: You mean, Dad?
Sora: Who else could it be? You did your best and put everything out there. So there's no need to be ashamed.
Sarada: Sora... You...
Sora: Well, see you later. I've got a match to win.
Sora left Sarada for his next match. Sarada tried to call out to him but her outstretched hand didn't reached him before her hand went limp. She then placed both hands on her chest before smiling.
Sarada: Thank you...
Just as she was about to leave, she saw a certain someone in cloak.
Sarada: Papa! You were watching?
Sasuke: Yeah, well done.
Sarada: But, I lost.
Sasuke: You still did your best. I'm proud of you.
Sarada: Yeah! But... I realized today that the things a Hero must be prepared to do are much more serious and harsher than I'd previously thought.
Sasuke: I'm glad you realized that.
Sarada: Yeah.
Sarada sees Sasuke, and admits that the things hero must be prepared to do are more serious than she thought.
(Timeskip)
The finale of two fighters is finally underway. It will be an epic fight since this will be a fight between two rivals that had been going on since childhood. Their rivalry had always been about strength and fights to see which one is stronger.
Present Mic: It's finally the last battle of the U.A. High school sport festival! The top of the first year will be decided with this one match! The final, so to speak! From the Hero Course, Sora Uzumaki!
Sora:...
Present Mic: Vs— Also from the Hero course, Katsuki Bakugo!
Katsuki:...
The crowd was cheering loudly. Naruto, All Might, Izuku, Sarada will be watching this fight very closely. Naruto on the other hand was tense on the inside, since Sora had truly made it to the finals, that even now Naruto still has doubt about Sora's strength. At first, Naruto thought Sora is just a spoiled brat whom likes to cause trouble. But now seeing just how much he had grown, Naruto felt pathetic about how wrong he was. For the first time in his life, he thought Sora was impressive. Since he and Sora had made a bet, that if Sora won the Sport Festival, Naruto would apologize for always ignoring his family. That's why he will watch this fight till the end to see Sora's final resolve.
Naruto:...
Sora:...
Meanwhile, Sora was staring at his Father whom was also staring back at him. Since Sora had finally come this far, Sora will not back down no matter what. Though his wounds after his battle with Shoto is still visible, Sora didn't care. Since this match is important to Sora. If he win this, his Family could finally step forward to a better future. If he loses, everything will truly fall with no way to fix things. That's was why he couldn't afford to lose. Of course there is also a part of him that wanted to settle the score with his Rival Katsuki as well.
Katsuki:...
For Katsuki, this fight is to settle the score with Sora whom he had a rivalry since the first time they've met. To prove himself that he was superior to Sora no matter what. During childhood, the two of them had made a bet to see who could win 2 matches in a row will be declared the winner and see which is stronger. But their matches ended up with either people win one each turn, or the match ends up in a draw. That was the reason why these two had 99 win and 99 loses. And they both agree, that today they will settle to see which is stronger.
Sora and Katsuki:...
Present Mic: Now—Start!
With both fighters at their fighting stance, the final battle of the U.A. Sports Festival begins. Without any warning, Katsuki would immediately run towards Sora.
Katsuki: I won't do so much damage that this fight gets stopped, but I'm gonna get close!
Sora: Heh...! That's so much like you!
As Katsuki was right on top of Sora, he quickly dodged his attacks, much to his annoyance and surprise. Sora would then follow it up with a powerful blast of wind, sending him flying back. Using that opening, Sora threw himself forward to become a raging wind. He saw nothing but his opponent as he flew through the air, palm flying at Katsuki.
Katsuki(mind): ?!... His movement is a bit sluggish...!
Katsuki noted calmly as Sora came at him with everything he had—before being batted away.
Sora: ?!
The impact rippled through his arms, and shock colored his features as he immediately prepared himself for the next attack. But Katsuki blocked it just as effortlessly as the first. One after the next, Katsuki deflected each of Sora's strikes with undiluted Explosive power and speed. In fact, the dance of wind and explosion was so fervent that Sora's left palm gave a sudden sting! as a chipped piece flew through the air.
Katsuki:...Aha, I see!
Katsuki mused, glancing down at Sora's left hand as if he had realized something before stepping back from the reckless rain of blows.
Izuku: Sora's movement is not as sharp when he fought Todoroki.
Ochako: But why...?
Sarada: His left side. It's not fully healed.
Class 1A all looked at Sora's left hand that had bandages covering them. Though it's not that visible, it's still there. A red pink stain of color. It was clear that blood is still flowing out. On the clinic, Recovery Girl sigh.
Recovery Girl: Even though I warned him not to use aggressive force.
Of course, Sora's parents also noticed this as well.
Hinata: Not good. This will completely tip the battle in Katsuki's favor.
Naruto: Yeah, that's for sure.
Katsuki: That was close. I'll simply have to kill you with this.
Katsuki ignored Sora's tremors as he increased the output of his Explosive.
Katsuki: Don't hold back on me! Today is the day I will prove to you that I'm the strongest!
Katsuki leaped, splitting the ground beneath him.
Sora: Hngh?!
It was too fast, invisible almost, and Sora's pupils dilated in disbelief. Then came the impact and, with it, a roar that shook the entirety of the arena. The hand Sora'd raised in defense was nearly brought down. Katsuki didn't stop there, his next explosion hitting before Sora even had a chance to find his footing. And though Sora managed to parry just in time thanks to his skill, the crazed dance kept him confined to one place. The attacks came at Sora in a blur, sending locks of his golden hair flying; the ground crashed and tumbled around him as the ground shattered beneath the frenzied explosion. Sora could barely think, let alone plan out any sort of strategy as the arena around him transformed into a scene of utter carnage.
Sora: Awaken, Tempest!! Shadow Clone!!
Sora cried out, activating his wind, Ariel and calling out 4 of his clones. Sora and 4 clones leaped at Katsuki, armor of wind engulfing them body and honing their fist. Only.
Katsuki: You expect me to not noticed that attack!
Katsuki's speed simply rose to meet Sora and his clones. It seemed that even before Sora's armor of wind, he was no longer worried that one full-powered explosion could very well end his life.
Katsuki: You should already know, my Quirk, "Explosion", lets me secrete nitroglycerin like sweat from my sweat glands on the palm of my hand and make it explode.
Sora:—
Katsuki's explosion came at carefully timed intervals now to slip between the gaps of the raging gale dominating Sora and his clones field of vision. With one well-placed strike, Katsuki sent Sora's gale and clones dispersing. Sora's wind was reduced to feeble shreds, leaving him with no defense. Katsuki grin and seized the opening, directing one powerful Explosion toward the defenseless Sora.
Katsuki: I win, Spike!
Blasting through what remained of his armor of wind, the Explosive carved a continuous stream of light.
Sora: Ah
It was a direct hit, plunging through Sora's entire body. Like fire, the searing pain overtook his body as Katsuki's killing blow struck home.
Present Mic: A Direct Shot!
There was a roar of explosion as the wind around Sora was ripped to pieces. As the shreds of his air currents scattered, screaming into the ether, the golden locks of his blood-smeared hair danced. The boy's body sailed through the air.
Sora: ?!
Sora crashed into the floor with tremendous force and went tumbling across the arena, until finally, he came to a stop among the end of the line near the ground. Trembling, using his right for balance, Sora tried to struggle to his feet, but his knees lacked the strength.
Katsuki: What's wrong?! You wouldn't fall this easily now would you?!
Sora was barely hanging on, he was on his knees panting heavily while his right hand was holding on his left trying to suppress the blood from flowing out.
Sora(mind): Dammit. To think the aftermath of my fight with Todoroki would be this big.
Katsuki: If you can't even stand, I'll end this!
The footsteps that would spell Sora's defeat grew near. All of a sudden, Sora's consciousness sparked back to life. He was not wondering on how to counterattack but to what would happen if he lose this match. He looked up towards the stand and looked straight in the eyes of his Father. Naruto's eyes was filled with worries at the same time, expectation. He wanted to see if Sora could overcome this challenge and emerge victorious against Katsuki.
Sora(mind): If I lose, it will be the end for our family.
Sora refused to let that happened. No matter what, he will get his Dad, Naruto to acknowledge his hard work and dedication to grow as a person. To show Naruto that Sora is not the same child as before, not some troublemaker that only knows how to cause problems for his Dad just to get his attention. And for that very reason...
Sora: I'm not losing this, Katsu!
Katsuki: !
As Katsuki's brows arched in surprise, Sora reached his feet with both hands at the ready. With glimmering blue eyes, he stared down at the Explosion Boy who was currently rushing towards him. Placing both hands together like a prayer, Sora closed his eyes. If his current wind couldn't hope to contend with Katsuki. Outwitting Katsuki at this point would be close to impossible. Physically, Sora's wounds were already deep. But no matter what, Sora vow to win.
Sora: Awaken, Tempest!
Sora's eyes snapped open.
Sora: Awaken, Tempest!!
Sora shouted again, ignoring his battered body as he cloaked himself once more in the howl of the wind torn from him.
Sora: RAGE, TEMPEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sora shouted a third time. And with it came a gale, unleashing a fury that mirrored the sleeping power awakening inside him.
Katsuki: What the—?
It was more furious than any wind Sora had summoned before in his life. As it filled the arena, it slashed the walls to shreds before gushing into the spectators and beyond. And it didn't stop there, billowing out relentlessly from Sora as if it were rolling off a hill.
Present Mic: A Wind Storm! A Wind Storm has appeared!!
Hanta: The wind is too strong...!
Mineta: I can't keep my eyes open!
Shoji: What is going on...?
Momo: I can't even tell anymore...!
Tsuyu: Truly unbelievable...
Ochako: It's like a Tornado had appeared on the field!
Sarada: This is the first...!
Izuku: Sora could never once produce a gale of this magnitude...!
Katsuki: Heh...!
Katsuki's eyes narrowed and grin. Was the boy using it to protect himself? To keep Katsuki at bay? Then it would do him no good to approach recklessly now. Surely, with the way Sora was spending his Quirk like water, he would destroy himself soon enough; however, the ferocious gale had yet to show any signs of waning. On and on, it raged, fueled by the fires of Sora's very soul.
Sora: Aha-ha-ha-ha!
Sora's laughter was echoed within the ferocious gale. Then the gale itself seemed to have a mind of its own since it stopped all of a sudden as if it was never there. Not stop. To be more precise, it was gathering on a single spot. At the spot where Sora had first produced the enormous gale. Not only that, Sora's laughters continues to echoed from within. The spectators and Katsuki all gaze in confusion as to what Sora is laughing for. Once the Wind subsidies, no more like compress. It looked like a spiraling gale of ball with a person on the inside. In short, a Rasengan Armor.
Sora: The real fight starts now, Katsu!
Sora grin at Katsuki who was looking bewildered at what he was witnessing. The same could be said with every person whom is watching on the spectators seat and to those who were watching on Tv. Sora was flying through the air with a huge ball of spiral of armor.
Sora: This is awesome! This is even more powerful than I felt before!
Sora shouted with excitement as he flew on the air circling on the arena up in the sky.
Jiro: He's flying!
Denki: He's actually flying!
Mina: Uzumaki... He's like a bird!
Katsuki: I hope you don't let that power up go through your head, Spike!
Katsuki had been in a stupor when Sora summoned that huge wall of gale. He of course tried to blast through them with his Explosive. But Sora met Katsuki's attack head on and none of Katsuki's attack could inflict any damage onto Sora's Ball of Spiral. While grinning from ear to ear, Sora was not even looking at Katsuki anymore.
Sora: Ah... What should I name this new technique...?
Sora was to busy enjoying this new power up that he had forgotten all about the match, the promise, the bet, his classmate, nor his opponent. The people who heard Sora's words was dumbfounded that Sora had completely forgotten that he was still in the match. This attitude on the other hand, irritates Katsuki to no end.
Katsuki: Don't ignore me, and fight!
Sora: Yeah, that has a nice ring to it.
However, Katsuki's words are deaf to Sora. When Katsuki wanted to blast Sora again with a barrage of explosion in close air, Sora just grin. That's because he had just got the perfect name for his new technique.
Sora: Tempest; Vortex Spiral!
As soon as he said those words, Sora's Vortex Spiral erupted even bigger that it blew Katsuki's attack away. Once he got the name he wanted for his new technique, Sora flew down towards Katsuki at an alarming speed that Sora was nothing but a blur now.
Sora has truly become one with the wind. With this, Sora could also lessen the impact, pain, and damage in his left arm. Sora felt like he could go anywhere. Defeat any enemy that stands in his way. And he had to. And there is one right now. Katsuki tried to meet the attack had on, but any attempt he tried was blown away with Sora's Vortex Spiral.
Katsuki: Damn it!
Katsuki was nearly blown out of the arena with that strong gale. Not only Sora's Wind Strength has increased, his speed and physical strength had also increased beyond comprehension. It was an incredible energy boost. Katsuki gritted his teeth, cursing himself deep down as he looked at Sora massive power up. At the same time, there was a smile on his face, since he too was enjoying himself. He knew that he couldn't win with any attack right now. Because of that, Katsuki needs to finished Sora with one single powerful attack.
Katsuki: If you're gonna stand in front of me, then I will KILL you with all my strength, SPIKE!!!
Katsuki is excited to see Sora's Wind Spiral and readies his special move: Howitzer Impact. He jumped into the air and started to spin diagonally while also letting out his barrage of explosive. From a long point of view, it looked like a massive drill or a human projectile. Katsuki has added his momentum and rotation speed to his huge blast.
Seeing this, Sora's smile widened. He too was excited with this match. Deep down, Sora thanked Katsuki. Because if it wasn't for this fight, Sora would had never been able to awakened this newfound power. Sora too charges into Katsuki smiling from ear to ear. In his right arms was a Rasengan Sora had prepared. They had forgotten everything and focused on their fight without any sense of regret.
Katsuki: Howitzer Impact!!
Sora: Rasengan; Vortex Spiral!!
With their finishing move spill out into the air, both fighters attacks met at one another. The pair then clash, creating a massive explosion in the arena. The spectators all gasped.
Present Mic: Wh-What was that?! That's some attack both fighters had unleashed! Who is the winner?!
Izuku: Which one is Sora?!
Ochako: Don't ask me! I don't even know what happened just now!
As the dust settles, two holes are seen in the ground; then the first one, one hand struck out wobbly. Everyone was at bated breath to see who would come out first.
Katsuki: *cough*cough*
Midnight:...
It was Katsuki who crawls up out of the first one. Everyone agape when they saw who it was. Midnight however hasn't declared Katsuki as the winner yet. She was looking towards the second hole where Sora was thrown off to. All eyes were fixed on the second hole. Walking to the second hole, Katsuki saw Sora, who is lying there seemingly unconscious.
Midnight continue to looked at Sora's unconscious body not yet declaring the winner. The arena was dead quiet waiting for the result. Then with a mocking tone, Katsuki says his victory.
Katsuki: Sorry... But this is my victory. It's ove—
CRACK!!
Katsuki: !!
As soon as he says those words, the ground below him cracks. Katsuki looked down at the ground that he was standing atop on. From down there, a fist had appeared coming towards Katsuki's face at point blank. With no more strength to draw out his explosive, nor will he even had the time to, the fist that came right from underground connects with Katsuki's jaw.
Sora: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Katsuki: Gah!
With a force strong enough, Katsuki was punch right into the air as he cough up blood before landing onto the ground. Sora had come out from that hole. The Sora who was laying down on the second hole poof out. It turns out to be a shadow clone and the real Sora, having dug a hole underground, surprises him with an uppercut from below, hitting Katsuki right in the jaw. This leaves Katsuki unable to move.
Katsuki: I...can't move...
Midnight(mind): He use his clones as bait and waited for his chance to get Bakugo. Even when he was getting pounded at the ground, he never stop planning his next move. He never lost his faith in his ability to win. He knew instinctively that as long as he continue to believe in himself, he will get through any sorts of challenge he face. What a truly unbelievable boy.
Midnight smile deeply when she saw Sora's fingers were all covered in blood. That's just prove that Sora had dug the whole at an alarming pace to get his one and only chance of victory.
Katsuki: On that condition you used your Shadow Clone? I was careless...
Sora: I always knew... That if I could ever get my chance on you, is for me to make you believe that you had beaten me. You see, people tend to let their guard down once they thought they had won... But...
Sora spoke calmly but firmly. His voice was transmit throughout the entire arena.
Sora: Just when you've almost been beaten is when you truly have a chance.
Katsuki: Damn it.
Sora: Today... Is my Victory!
Sora smile at Katsuki and he gritted his teeth in frustration. The firecracker had no more strength to draw. Seeing their exchange, Midnight smile and announce Sora as the winner of the match, and first year champion of the U.A. Sports Festival.
Midnight: Bakugo is unable to fight! The Winner goes to, Sora Uzumaki!
The crowd flew into cheers at the spectacular battle. Himawari who was sitting in between of Naruto and Hinata was smiling happily and clapping her hand as loud as she could.
Present Mic: And now, all of the events have been completed! The winner of this year's first-year U.A. sport festival is... from Class A, Sora Uzumaki!
Himawari: He won! Big Bro, won! My Big Bro is the best in the world!
Hinata: Yeah! He was amazing! He really won!
Hinata too was clapping her hand, impressed at what she saw. Meanwhile...
Naruto:...
Naruto was silenced. He too sigh deeply as he was enamored with Sora's performance just as much as everybody else. Seeing Sora whom had won the Sport Festival just like he said he would, Naruto reflected his own shortcoming ever since he was ranked number 3 Hero. Naruto had forgotten to why he wanted to be a Hero in the first place. But seeing Sora's determination, Naruto finally remember whom this was all for. Naruto stood up, wanting to jump down into the arena to greet Sora with a smile. Just as he did so... the crowd went silent when they saw Yellow Gale, the number three Hero had come down the arena.
Sora: Dad...
Present Mic: As expected of Yellow Gale! He wanted to be the first to greet his son!
Sora who sees his Dad walking towards him, wanted to smile and greeted him. He wanted to tell him that he had won the bet between them, but his leg gave out. Finally letting the exhaustion get to him, Sora close his eyes and fall unconscious. Naruto who wanted to congratulate Sora for his victory, stopped when Sora was falling unconscious. Sora must've Go Beyond Plus Ultra, when he unleashed the Vortex Spiral. Naruto dashes through Sora and caught him before his body hit the ground. Seeing Sora's unconscious but smiling face, Naruto smile as well.
Naruto: Sheesh... There's just no end to your surprise, huh Sora...
(Timeskip)
After the end of the final match of the tournament, everyone has gathered on the field for the award ceremony.
Midnight: All of the first-year events for this year's U.A. Sports Festival have been completed. And now, we will begin the award ceremony!
The ground of the field starts to open up and a platform with the top three students of the tournament start to rise up. In third place was Shoto since he had won his fight with Sarada, second place Katsuki who was grumbling unable to accept his lost, and in first place was Sora who covered in bandages all over his body.
Sora: THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING!!
Tokoyami: He's like a Mummy!
Tsuyu: That's too bad, Sarada.
Sarada: Well, a lost is still a lost. I've prepared.
Midnight : Now, we will award the medals! The presentation of the medals will, of course, be by this man--
Suddenly, everyone heard a laughing and they all knew who it was. They all started to get excited and cheered loudly as they knew it was the laugh of All Might.
All Might: I have brought the medals here!
Midnight: Our very own hero, All Might!
All Might arrives the distribute the awards, but he is annoyed when Midnight ruins his introduction, though she apologizes. Even so, he distributes medals to each of the three contestants.
Midnight: *apologetic* I talked over you...
All Might:...
Midnight: Now then, All Might, please present the medals, starting with third place.
All Might then took the third place medal and walked up to Shoto.
All Might: Young Todoroki, congratulations. I assume there is a reason you use your left side in the semifinal?
Shoto: I had an opportunity during my match with Midoriya, but then I became unsure of myself. It's just that, during my fight with Uzumaki, I was so absorbed in the fight that I forgot everything. I think I understand a little of why you are interested in him. I wanted to become a hero like you. But I didn't think it would be right for me to be the only one to break away. There is still something I must settle.
All Might nods at Shoto and then gives him a hug.
All Might: The look on your face is completely different from before. I won't ask for details. I'm sure that you will be able to do what you need to do...
Shoto : Yes.
All Might then breaks the hug with Todoroki and finally moved onto Bakugo with the second place medal.
All Might: Good job, even though you didn't do what you said you would during the player pledge!
Katsuki: All Might... I won't accept the medal if I'm not First place...
Katsuki then started shouting at All Might.
Katsuki: Is not worth anything! Even if the world recognizes it, if I don't recognize it myself, then it's trash!
All Might: His face is amazing... Right. In this world where people are constantly being compared publicly, there are not many who can keep aiming for the top of an unchanging scale.
All Might then looks over to Katsuki once more to see that he was still angry.
All Might : His face is amazing... Take this medal, okay? Think of it as a "wound", so you never forget.
Katsuki: I said I don't want it!
All Might: Now, now.
