[These will go by fast. There's just... a lot of unnecessary battles and dialogue that don't involve Kyoro...]

'Up against one speedy boy.' Kyoro thought facing off against Iida on a stone platform, source: pro hero, Cementoss.

Two battles had already gone by.

The next event, after the afternoon festivities, was a tournament-style bracket of one-v-ones. The rules were to either, knock someone out of the ring, render them unconscious, or make them admit defeat. The bracket was this:

"Third match, start!" Present Mic shouted.

'Oh, shit!' Kyoro thought as Iida ran at him. Kyoro rolled out of the way of an axe kick. And put up his hands as Iida went for a spin kick. Kyoro blocked and jabbed at Iida's chest, making him stumble back. Kyoro jumped back and kept his hands up, waiting for Iida to make a move.

Iida shook his head and dashed at Kyoro again. Kyoro waited for Iida to kick again and partied the kick before Sparta-kicking his back, making him stumble again. Iida turned around and spin kicked Kyoro's side sending a ways away but Kyoro used his hand and flipped to his feet, sliding back. Kyoro looked up and saw Iida's foot inches away from his face. Kyoro tried to lean his head back but only received a kick to the chin, sending him spiraling to the floor.

Kyoro quickly wobbled on his feet before dodging another kick wearily. Iida ducked down and swept Kyoro's feet making him fall on his side again.

'Shit! I can't do anything with this damn ringing in my ear! Fuck, that hurt!' Kyoro thought rolling out of the way of another hit, his body near the edge. He stood up before purposely tanking a kick to his chest, catching Iida's foot

"What is this battle of physical strength?! Midoriya is just eating hit after hit!" Present Mic shouted.

Kyoro began spinning around with his eyes closed before feeling Iida lift off the ground. He opened his eyes and slammed Iida into the ground. Iida bounced up before gazing upward in disbelief.

'Where'd this strength come from?! Was Midoriya always this strong?' Iida thought glancing at Kyoro, who was reeling back his right arm. Kyoro slammed his fist into Iida's side sending him out of the ring.

"Iida is out of bounds! Kyoro Midoriya advances to the next round!" Midnight announced.

Kyoro held his head and chin before helping Iida up. Iida and Kyoro shook hands before the two walked to their respective halls.

Kyoro stood off against Min Min this time, both staring each other down.

"Second match, start!" Present Mic shouted as if routine.

Min Min extended her spring-like arm toward Kyoro quickly. Kyoro leaned just head to the side avoiding a jab. 'She's pretty all-around when it comes to combat. She taught me everything I know, so close-quarters isn't an option.' Kyoro thought weaving through more jabs from Min Min. 'Or at least, that's what she thinks I'll think!' Kyoro thought before grabbing her fist and yanking it down.

Min Min stumbled forward but quickly regained her balance and saw Kyoro running at her. Her eyes widen before she smirked. Kyoro threw a right hook at Min Min but she ducked and uppercut Kyoro in the chin. Kyoro gave a surprised look as Min Min kicked his airborne body away.

"Just when he thought he had the slip, Midoriya was swept off his feet by Takatsu!" Present Mic yelled seeing Kyoro's dazed state. Kyoro felt is collar being grabbed before his body was being flung forward. Min Min grappled her arm back to her and kneed Kyoro in his stomach. Kyoro spit up saliva before grabbing Min Min's wrist and reeling his head back.

"Don't tell me he's gonna..." Iida trailed off, sitting in a section especially for the students, specifically Class A. "Uh oh..." Ochako whimpered.

Kyoro flung his head forward and headbutt Min Min. Min Min's head recoiled back, and so did Kyoro's. Kyoro kicked off of Min Min and rolled back up to his feet. Min Min held her head before glaring at Kyoro.

"You could've done anything else, dumbass!" She shouted. "All's fair in love and war!" Kyoro shouted back. "Oh yeah, when I wake you up for school, I'll give you a nice headbutt! You want that?!" Min Min asked. "I'll greet you with one every time we leave school!" Kyoro retorted. "How about I tuck you in at night after I shove my foot up your ass!" Min Min yelled. "I'm not into that shit, so no! I'll make fucking dinner after shoving my foot, up your ass!" Kyoro shouted back.

"What a vulgar conversation." Midnight and Cementoss said with a sweatdrop.

Kyoro and Min Min ran at each other before throwing a punch simultaneously. Kyoro was flown back and Min Min threw herself forward. She began relentlessly throwing punches at Kyoro's face. Kyoro wrapped his leg around her neck before twisting and standing over her. He grabbed her collar before slinging her forward. She threw her hand out as her arm became a spring again, latching onto Kyoro's neck. Kyoro stood his ground letting his neck jerk forward but his body stay in place. Min Min grappled back to Kyoro and attempted to knee him in the chin.

Kyoro leaned back making her miss and fly past him. Kyoro grabbed Min Min's wrist before she could land and slammed her into the ground.

"This... is a lot more brutal than we thought it'd be... We're gonna need a censorship team..." Present Mic commented as Min Min put Kyoro in an arm bar.

"Say uncle!" She ordered. "Aunt!" Kyoro shouted squinting his eyes as he struggled. "I said, Uncle!" Min Min said holding harder. "Father!" Kyoro said before wincing. "Just say it!" Min Min ordered before placing Kyoro's arm behind his back and stomping on it as well. "Motherfucker." Kyoro groaned before lifting his legs and lifting his body with one arm. He began twisting his hand and kicking his feet as he spun, smacking Min Min in the face with his boots. She staggered around before Kyoro used his now free left arm, and right, to push off the ground and dropkick Min Min.

She rolled back before feeling something wrap around her arm. She looked down and saw a singular vine was on her left wrist.

"What's this gonna do?" She asked Kyoro. "3... 2... 1..." Kyoro counted as Min Min tilted her head. "Now." He said walking towards her. Min Min shrugged her shoulder before her hand moved on its own to her arm. "What the...? Why am I so itchy?" She asked as she began scratching her arm. "I wouldn't scratch. I heard it spreads that way." Kyoro said now standing a meter in front of her. "What did you do?!" Min Min asked desperate scratching both arms now. "Whatever do you mean? I've done nothing. Anyway, you'll be going out of bounds now." Kyoro said before picking up Min Min over his shoulder.

"You asshole! This is fucking embarrassing! I'm gonna kill you!" Min Min said struggling to scratch her arms and kick her feet at the same time. Kyoro placed her out of bounds and wiped his hands with a smirk.

"Takatsu is out of bounds! Kyoro Midoriya advances to the third round!" Midnight announced. Kyoro snapped his fingers making the itchy sensation leave Min Min's arms. She glared up at him while balling her fists.

"I'm gonna leave before you can hurt me." Kyoro said starting to run away. "That's what you think!" Min Min said giving chase.

"We hope you enjoyed our comic relief..." Present Mic said lowly before being elbowed by Aizawa.

•

Kyoro walked into Class 1-A section with tons of bruises. Everyone stared as he walked to a seat, sat down, closed his eyes, and leaned back.

"What's he doing? He's been doing that for every match!" Kaminari asked. "I think he's meditating?" Ochako said before sitting beside him. She poked his cheek a couple time, Kyoro not budging.

"Kirishima is immobilized! Bakugo wins!" Midnight announced making everyone turn to the arena. "With that vicious carpet-bombing, Bakugo advances to the third round! And that completes the final four!" Present Mic shouted as the big screen showed Todoroki, Kyoro, Tokoyami, and Bakugo.

Kyoro stood up making the others gasp. He opened his eyes and walked off toward the waiting room.

"That Midoriya is a strange one..." Tsuyu commented. "Indeed." The class agreed.

"Sorry. I haven't really been watching any matches." Kyoro said to Izuku who he had encountered in the hall.

"It's fine, most of our matches have been right next to each other. But you made it to the semi-finals! Congrats!" Izuku said with a smile. "Be sure to win for me!" Izuku said as Kyoro wrapped his arm around him, since Izuku's arms were injured.

"I will, I'll make you and auntie proud." Kyoro said before walking away.

•

Kyoro now stood off against Todoroki in the arena.

"The cold hearted hero descendant whose power shook the world! From the hero course, its Shoto Todoroki!" Present Muc introduced. "Versus— the boy who could be mistaken for a botanist, also from the hero course, Kyoro Midoriya!" Present Mic introduced.

'That made no sense. Just say my name next time...' Kyoro thought in annoyance. 'Just focus.' Gaia replied. 'I heard them talk about how he used his flames. That's nothing to me. Just like hero studies, I'll overwhelm him.' Kyoro thought rolling his neck.

"Start!" Present Mic shouted. Todoroki sent a wave of ice at Kyoro. Kyoro began slowly walking forward as the ice rushed at him. At the last moment he sidestepped out of the way and continued walking. 'From what I heard, Izuku was able to bring out his flames through emotion, nostalgia to be precise.' Gaia informed. 'Well, I don't know of his past, so I guess anger is the first option. I'll taunt him.' Kyoro thought as another wave of ice flew at him. Kyoro picked up his pace before sidestepping out of the way again.

"He's barely reacting to Todoroki's attacks! Is this confidence?!" Present Mic asked.

Kyoro started running out of no where. Todoroki clicked his tongue and sent a wave of ice at a curved angle. Kyoro watched as the ice flew at him and jumped over it, not seeing a pillar of ice erupt to his left. It smacked him in his side but he dug his finger into it and held on from being sent away. Kyoro jumped off the pillar and at Todoroki. Kyoro revved and axe kick but Todoroki dodged. Kyoro landed before dodging a close call of ice at his feet. Todoroki jumped back as Kyoro ran at him again. As Todoroki landed he created a wall of ice under Kyoro's feet, sending him skyward.

Kyoro threw a vine at Todoroki that missed and ingrained into the ground behind him. Kyoro grappled himself toward it and tried to kick Todoroki. Todoroki blocked and covered Kyoro's calf in ice. Kyoro tripped and rolled against the ground before hearing another wave of ice behind him.

Kyoro placed his hands on the ground before three large vines slashed at the ice from the ground. Kyoro slammed his hand onto the ice on his calf breaking it. Kyoro stood up and began running at Todoroki again. Todoroki instantly noticed the change in Kyoro's speed. He wasn't getting slower, he was getting faster. Kyoro had already appeared in front of Todoroki with his fist reeled back.

Todoroki blocked Kyoro's right hook and jabbed at his chest before kicking him away, stomping down, and sending a wave of ice at him. Kyoro flipped to his feet and jumped away from the ice.

'This is getting nowhere.' Kyoro thought waiting for Todoroki to make another move. 'Use Frenzy Plant.' Gaia said face palming. 'Forgot about that.' Kyoro thought before raising his arms up.

"Frenzy..." Kyoro started making Todoroki's eyes widen and send a tsunami of ice, almost larger than the stadium. "PLANT!" Kyoro said slamming his fist into the ground. A large array of vines flew out of the ground and darted towards Todoroki. The vines and ice began clashing, each vine lashed at the ice, and the ice stopped some of the vines. Eventually, only two vines were left that flew at Todoroki at rapid speeds. Todoroki's eyes grew wider before his left side began sparking.

Suddenly, his left side burst into flames again and burned away the last two vines. Todoroki looked down at his left hand as his father, pro hero Endeavor, looked on with glee.

'Damnit! I didn't think he'd use it!' Kyoro thought smacking his forehead. 'At least he's giving it his all now. Now I can't too.' Kyoro said before running forward.

'He's expecting me to hesitate. I'll end it now.' Todoroki thought bringing up his left hand. He created a fire around his left arm before it flew at an approaching Kyoro. The fire swirled into a star-like shape as it made contact with a shocked Kyoro, before exploding.

Smoke filled the arena as the crowd went silent. Out of the smoke Kyoro's body flew up and out of the ring before he shook his head and threw a vine at the arena. He grappled to it, clearing the smoke and surprising Todoroki. Kyoro had burn marks on his arm and his sleeves and pants were slightly burnt gray. Todoroki prepared to use his flames again but hesitated.

'Not now!' Todoroki thought with a conflicted look. Kyoro ran up to Todoroki with his right hand reeled back. 'Now's my chance! Gaia, Chlorophyll!' Kyoro called. 'On it.' Gaia answered as Kyoro's fist glowed slightly green. Kyoro threw his fist forward and socked Todoroki in the jaw with all his might. The force was enough to send Todoroki out of the ring and knock him out.

"Todoroki is out of bounds! Midoriya wins!" Midnight announced. "And with that, we have our first contestant for the finals!" Present Mic shouted as Kyoro rubbed his burned arms. Todoroki's eyes flickered open before he lifted his upper body. He looked up and saw Kyoro extending his hand out to him. "I understand that you aren't ready yet. I'll be waiting on the rematch, though." Kyoro said lifting him up. "I'll be ready by then. I'm sure of it." Todoroki responded before the two went their separate ways.

•

"I give up." An immobilized Tokoyami said as Bakugo kept sparks at his left hand, and held down his beak with the other.

"Tokoyami gives up! Bakugo wins!" Midnight said as Bakugo got off of Tokoyami. "With this, the final match will be between Midoriya and Bakugo!" Present Mic announced as Bakugo glared up at Kyoro.

Kyoro looked down at him from the stands for Class 1-A coldly. His gaze never faltered as Bakugo grit his teeth. Kyoro left the stands with a blank face.

"It's too bad for Tokoyami..." Ochako said on the left side of Kyoro. "I thought Tokoyami would win." Sero commented. "I guess this means he isn't invincible." Kaminari responded. "So light is his weakness, huh? I see... Bakugo likes to go after stuff like that..." Kirishima said to himself.

The big screen showed Kyoro looking away from the camera and Bakugo who scowled away from the camera as well, their names under their pictures.

"I wonder what'll happen in a match between those two..." Izuku said looking at the screen. "We'll have to watch carefully and get our revenge next time." Iida said walking out of the halls. "Iida!" Izuku acknowledged as Iida gave a smile, Izuku and Ochako giving ones as well. Iida began shaking rapidly startling the two. "What is it?!" "My phone." Iida answered. "His phone, huh?" They said as Iida answered, leaving.

•

Kyoro sat in the first waiting room in silence. All he was doing was resting his nerves for the fight ahead, his head rested on his arms.

Kyoro jumped up when the door was suddenly kicked in. Kyoro looked over and saw Bakugo with his foot up. "Huh?" Bakugo spat.

"Hey, why are you here? It's waiting room..." Bakugo started before looking at the door. "...oh, this is room one? Damnit!" He finished embarrassed. Kyoro just stared at him before placing his head back on his arms, making Bakugo irritated.

"I may have gotten the room wrong, but what's with that attitude against your opponent in the final?! Hey, hey, hey." Bakugo asked walking over to Kyoro. Suddenly, he startled crackling small explosions near Kyoro's arms. "Where are you looking, Flower Boy?!" Bakugo asked. "I just want to rest before the fight..." Kyoro said covering his eyes from the light of the explosions.

"I don't know how you made it to the finals, but I'm gonna put you in your place, Carbon Copy. You're below me, you're no better than that damn Deku." Bakugo said clenching his fists. "I think you'd be happy to know, I've been holding back." Kyoro said standing up.

"What'd you say...?" Bakugo asked menacingly. "Think about it. I easily could've won every event. The obstacle course race, I could've just flown over everything and one at blinding speeds. The cavalry battle, I could've easily taken many more headbands, and defended my team had I used my quirk. And this tournament, this final, is where I go all out... so you better do the same." Kyoro explained, is cosmic blue eyes slightly glaring at Bakugo, whose blood red eyes flared back at him.

"You're damn right I'll give it my all. And I'm not pleased to hear you've been underestimating me, so I'll show you up out there. Prepare to lose, Midoriya..." Bakugo said with a growl before leaving.

'I'm gonna kick his ass. You ready?' Kyoro asked Gaia. 'Chlorophyll is ready, and so am I.' Gaia answered with a tinge of excitement.

•

Around the world, people watched Kyoro stand off against Bakugo in the ring. All over TVs, Phone's, in restaurants and bars, and of course peoples homes.

From Kyoro's residence, Kiriyu could be heard screaming 'Fight!' as she looked at Kyoro.

At Izuku's residence, Inko sat at the edge of her seat in anticipation.

In a special room for hired heroes, they looked at the two finalists with expectation and excitement.

Tomura Shigaraki, the blue haired villain from USJ, watched on a computer, glaring at Kyoro.

In the stands, Class 1-A watched as their two classmates stood off with tension in the air. All Might gazed down at Kyoro's determined face with a look of in difference, he saw the same spark he saw in Izuku. He recalled when he met Gaia in the infirmary after USJ, and what she had vaguely explained about his quirk. That it was also a gift. All Might saw him in the same light as the Izuku and planned to see what he could do. The other pro heroes were also staring in anticipation to see what he could do, since he had been reserved about his quirk since the entrance exam.

The crowd began roaring to life and cheering as fire erupted from around the arena.

"It's finally the last battle of the U.A. High School Sports Festival! The top of the first years will be decided with this one match!"
Present Mic started as the big screen showed Kyoro and Bakugo's pictures again. "The final, so to speak! From the hero course, Katsuki Bakugo! Versus— Also from the hero course, Kyoro Midoriya! Now— START!" Present Mic yelled.

Instantly, Kyoro tapped his foot and glared at Bakugo.

"Frenzy Plant." Kyoro whispered before a large array of thorny vines sprouted from the ground and darted for Bakugo. Bakugo began deflecting them with his explosions before they all wrapped around him completely, his body unseen by the audience. "Midoriya gets in a blow right away! Is he trying to avoid close combat with Bakugo? Has the winner been decided already?!" Present Mic asked.

"That's larger than the ones in his match with Todoroki. He constricted Kacchan while being careful of what to do next, knowing he'll escape." Izuku pointed out. Muffled booms and cracks were heard from the mountain of swirling vines. Suddenly, Bakugo blasted out of the vines and in front of Kyoro.

"The stronger the quirk..." Bakugo started, blasting towards Kyoro. "The more imprecise the attacks!" He shouted grabbing Kyoro's head.

"What's Kyoro doing?!" Izuku shouted. "Are you underestimating me?! Idiot!" Bakugo shouted slamming Kyoro's head to the ground. Bakugo felt a kick to his gut before being sent away. Kyoro stood up wiped the blood from his head before cracking his neck. "I thought you said you'd go all out." Bakugo said furious. "I will. Right now." Kyoro said crouching. Kyoro flew at Bakugo at blurring speeds. Bakugo did the same before the two clashed. Kyoro had kicked Bakugo in the chest and Bakugo had swiped at Kyoro's arm with an explosion. Kyoro shot a vine at Bakugo's arm pulling him closer before he could get away before swinging him around, and throwing him.

Bakugo propelled himself back into the arena without touching the ground. Bakugo growled before blasting at Kyoro again. Kyoro jumped up at him and attached another vine to his left wrist before blocking another swipe from Bakugo's explosion, his arm being burned in the process.

Kyoro kicked Bakugo's stomach before fallming to the ground and rolling backward , Bakugo being yanked with the tug of the vine. Bakugo tried to rip the vine from his wrist bunt saw it was spreading down to his forearm. Bakugo blew off the vine with an explosion before feeling a fist fly across his face.

"Pay attention!" Kyoro shouted as Bakugo recoiled back. "I'll show you what'll happen if you make a fool of me!" Bakugo shouted grabbing Kyoro's arm and slamming him into the ground. Kyoro's body bounced back up before Bakugo began releasing explosions after explosions into Kyoro's torso. The crowd watched with shock and worry seeing Kyoro's body bounce up, and down, and up, and down.

'Holy shit... this hurts...' Kyoro thought feeling the heat of each explosion singe his skin. Eventually the heat burnt and blew off his gym top revealing a black shirt. Soon that was also being burnt as well. 'Gotta stop this... fucking onslaught!' Kyoro thought before he grabbed Bakugo's wrist. Bakugo stopped his explosions and glared down at Kyoro's pained face. Suddenly, Kyoro's fist rammed into Bakugo's chin, sending him backward and to the floor. Kyoro stood up and began panting heavily.

Bakugo stood up and glared at Kyoro's determined face. "You bastard... an indisputable first place...AND YOU'RE IN MY WAY!" Bakugo yelled before blasting at Kyoro while spinning. "RIGHT BACK AT YOU!" Kyoro yelled as well before a flurry of cherry blossom petals shot out of his skin and surrounded him.

"Howitzer..." Bakugo started as his hands flew brightly, smoke surrounding his body. "Petal..." Kyoro started at the petals surrounded his body. "IMPACT!" Bakugo said blasting at Kyoro. "DANCE!" Kyoro shouted as his body slightly glowed green, and he flew at Bakugo. The two collided with Kyoro kicking Bakugo's face and Bakugo exploding Kyoro's chest. A massive explosion blew up at the center of the arena, flaming petals falling from the sky.

"They added momentum and rotation to their large scale attacks. These two have shown their power before but this different! They were like human projectiles!" Present Mic shouted. "There's smoke filling the ring, but who's the winner?!" He asked. The smoke began dispersing and leaving the arena.

In the arena, Kyoro's shirt had blown off and his upper body had second-degree burns. His body was barely in the arena, he had two vines ingrained into the stone of the ring, there structure barely holding on, if they were to snap, he'd lose. Bakugo on the other hand, was clearly still in the ring, but almost unconscious with Kyoro's devastating kick to Bakugo's face. His body was down but his clenched fingers showed he was still kicking.

"They're both still in bounds and conscious! Who will make the first move?!" Present Mic yelled.

Kyoro pulled himself up with the vines before they snapped, his body falling back into the ring. Bakugo got to his knees with heavy pants before standing up. The two weakly glared at each other before slowly shuffling towards each other.

"We should stop this. Midoriya can't go on like this, his body can't handle any more pain." Cementoss said into a com, towards Midnight.

The two began closing in before reeling back their arms. The two threw their fists forward, both connecting with each other's cheeks. The two recoiled back before reeling their arms back again. Bakugo sent a punch with a small spark towards Kyoro's face. Kyoro took the punch head on before punching Bakugo's face with a green glow to his fist. The two began stumbling around before falling to their knees. The two stood back up and caught their breaths before reeling back their arms one last time.

The two gave a loud and boisterous battle cry as they threw their fists forward. Bakugo's fist flew before it missed its target. Why? Kyoro had tripped and fell to his face, making Bakugo do the same over him, landing on his face as well.

The two laid unmoving as the crowd waited for one of them to get up. The audience waited seconds... minutes... just about 5 minutes before Midnight walked over to the two. She looked down and rolled Bakugo over before seeing he was unconscious. She did the same to Kyoro before seeing his left eye was barely open and squinting.

"The gold..." He whispered weakly, his voice damaged from the explosion to his chest.

"Bakugo is immobilized! Which means, Midoriya wins!" Midnight announced making the crowd roar. The big screen showed Kyoro's picture as people around the world cheered. Kiriyu was jumping with joy as her roommates celebrated. Inko was balling her eyes out. Shigaraki was analyzing Kyoro's special move. And heroes were getting to work on recommendations. "And now, all of the events have been completed! The winner of this year's first-year U.A Sports Festival is... from Class A, KYORO MIDORIYA!" Present Mic yelled as the crowd continued to cheer. Kyoro weakly listened time the cheers before falling asleep.

•

Fireworks went off above the stadium in an assortment of colors.

"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!" Midnight announced before more fireworks exploded and crackled. From the ground behind her, a platform rose out of it and showed a podium with three differently elevated spots. All of the students were now out on the field watching the ceremony.

Class 1-A saw Kyoro was on the first place podium with a dead, blank face. On the other hand, Bakugo was tied to the second place podium, in handcuffs, and had a muzzle around his mouth. Todoroki was in third with a straight face, thinking about previous events.

"Now, we will award the medals! The presentation of the medals will be of course, be by this man—" Midnight started. A signature laugh was heard throughout the stadium. All Might jumped from the top of the stadium in his hero suit.

"Our very own hero, All Might!" - Midnight
"I have brought the medals here!" - All Might

The two spoke at the same time as All Might landed. "I talked over you..." Midnight said saying sorry. "Now then, All Might, please present the medals, starting with third place." Midnight said holding up a tray with three medals, bronze, silver, and gold. All Might walked up to Todoroki presenting the bronze medal, third place.

"Young Todoroki," Al Might started, placing the medal around his neck. "Congratulations. I assume there is a reason you did not use your left side in the semi-final?" All Might asked. "I had an opportunity with my match with the Midoriyas, but I became unsure of myself. I think I understand a little why you are interested in Midoriya, the green haired one. 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." Todoroki explained. "The look on your face is completely different from before." All Might said before giving him a hug. "I won't ask about the details. I'm sure that you will be able to do what you need to do." All Might said softly. "Yes." Todoroki replied.

"Now then, Young Bakugo! This is too much." All Might said seeing the restraints Bakugo was placed in. "Good job making your way to the finals!" All Might started taking off Bakugo's muzzle. "All Might..." Bakugo whispered before glaring over at Kyoro. "I want my rematch... to lose like that... it's disgraceful! A rematch!" Bakugo shouted as Kyoro. Kyoro was unmoving as Bakugo continued to shout for a rematch. "R-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 said before seeing Bakugo's face was still filled with rage. "Take this medal, okay? Think of it as 'wound', so you never forget!" All Might said holding up the silver medal and attempting to put around Bakugo's neck, but Bakugo kept struggling. "I said I didn't want it!" Bakugo shouted. "Now, now." All Might responded. "I told you, I don't want it!" Bakugo yelled before it ended up hanging in his mouth. "Here." All Might said triumphantly.

Young Midoriya Number 2." All Might started, but couldn't get a response. Kyoro slowly pointed to his neck before letting his hand fall. "You've come a long way from where you began. I'm proud of you. I can't wait to see what you'll do." All Might said hugging the boy softly. Kyoro's face remained unchanged except for the leakage at his eyes. His eyes began crying as All Might pat his back. "First place, Young Midoriya, the gold." All Might said placing the medal around his neck.

"Well, they were the winners this time! But listen here! Anyone here could have ended up on these podiums. It's just as you saw— Competing! Improving each other! And climbing even further! The next generation of heroes is definitely sprouting! So, I have just one more thing to say! Everyone, please say it with me!" All Might shouted. "Ready, go—"

"Thank you for your hard work!" - All Might
"Plus Ultra!" - Crowd

"What?! It should've been 'Plus Ultra!' there, All Might!" The crowd yelled, with some giving boo's. "Well, I thought everyone worked hard..." All Might said timidly.

~•~

It was nearing the end of the day. The sun was setting and Class 1-A we're back in their classroom.

"Good work. So there will be no school tomorrow or the day after." Announced. "I'm sure the pro heroes who watched the sports festival will want to recruit you, but we'll consolidate everything and announce it when you get back. So rest well, and look forward to that." Aizawa finished. "Yes, sir." Most shouted.

~•~

Kyoro was lying on his bed in silence.

Since his return, the others congratulated him but Kyoro could barely hear anything. He tried to smile but couldn't really move his face all that well, so it ended up looking fake. Min Min made a mask with a smile on it and give to him to wear until he recovered.

Right now, Gaia was floating beside Kyoro's bed with her legs crossed over the other. She had one hand pointed at Kyoro that was glowing green. Kyoro's chest and arm were glowing slightly blue for a while before the glows went away.

"Can you speak yet?" Gaia asked. Kyoro nodded and turned on his side. "What's wrong now...?" Gaia continued seeing his sad face. "I gave away a special ability because I got too into the battle. I'm sorry." Kyoro answered. "It's fine. You had fun, right?" Gaia asked landing on the ground. "I was supposed to have fun?!" Kyoro asked seriously. Gaia stared at him annoyed before sighing. Kyoro sighed as well before looking at the gold medal around his neck. "I did get the gold. Like I said I would, though." Kyoro said with a small smile before closing his eyes.

"Now you're all giddy? You're so weird." Gaia said holding her head. "Shut up! Let me me happy." Kyoro spat sitting up. "Uh huh, you want me to apologize?" Gaia asked sarcastically. "Since you offered? Yes." Kyoro said before holding out his arms. "The hell are you doing?" Gaia asked. "Waiting." Kyoro answered. "For?" Gaia asked again. "A hug." Kyoro answered again.

Kyoro and Gaia stared at each other for a few minutes in complete silence before Gaia motioned him to stand up with a sigh. She opened her arms before Kyoro latched himself onto her, his arms around her shoulders and his legs around her waist. Gaia pat his back a few times before letting go.

"Oi. That's long enough." Gaia said tapping his shoulder. "No. It's not..." Kyoro said smiling. "...You're such a baby." Gaia said with a chuckle, before hugging him again.
