Normal pov

Sakura sighed tiredly with annoyance as she had to stands next to a pissed off and tied up Bakugou, he was trashing violently to break free from Cementoss's wall to keep him in place, and the camera flashes was making it worse for her. Todoroki only stood there and stared blankly at the scene, but sighed and continued to look at the rest of the crowds as they cheered. The rest of the U.A students stood in front of them as they waited for Midnight to speak. Sakura was about to loose her temper and scold at everyone to stop what they were doing, but then stopped as Midnight spoke.

"Tenya Iida actually shares the third place award with Haruno, but unfortunately he had to leave early due to family reasons. Gotta love that sexy bum."

Anger quickly disappearing, Sakura squeaked while blushing in embarrassment while sweat dropping as Midnight made a kissing face. This was why Sakura didn't like the R-rated Hero, she believed that Midnight was a complete sadist and enjoyed making everyone uncomfortable and scared shitless. She even betted that Midnight would make Sasuke uncomfortable with that attitude with her, and was right when she saw the first time in her life how terrified he looked when they were younger. The poor guy was white as a ghost as he sweated bullets, back then when they were only twelve years old, and to make things worse, Kakashi was rather interested in her, in fact she was his hero. That had caused her, Sasuke and Naruto to attack an unfocused Kakashi and stomped him repeatedly for being such a pervert and kept making them hear about Midnight. But after that, Kakashi was cautious this time as he talked, and bought, about the R-rated Hero, and that's what made the ex-Team 7 hang out by other places during the day, or to sleep over at their friends. But then her thoughts were immediately brought to Iida, feeling worried about what she had heard when he talked to Izuku and Uraraka. His big brother, Ingenium, was caught by a villain, and is now injured and hospitalized in Hosu, the look on Iida's face was painful to look at. Sakura looked at the direction where Izuku stood, and saw the worried look on his face as well, judging by how he didn't pay attention of what was going on. Clenching her fist and her teeth, she narrowed her eyes at the ground and prayed.

' Ingenium, please be alright for Iida's sake.'

"And now then, let us bring out the medals! But of course there's only one person worthy giving out the awards!"

With that said, everyone heard a laughter above them, making them look up to see who it was, only to see it was All Might. They all beamed and cheered in excitement, even Naruto was a big fan of his, and surprisingly, Sasuke and the Akatasuki as well. All Might then jumped while he yelled out.

"Citizens! I am here to give out metals!"

But, the minute All Might landed in front of the three champions, Midnight had announced a little too late that he will be the one to give the rewards. It was silent for a few seconds, and All Might began to tremble unimpressed by Midnight while she apologized nervously.

"Anyway, why don't you start hanging out the medals? Starting with the third place winner."

Sakura stood straight as All Might took the first bronze medal and walked towards her. She bowed when All Might had placed the award around her neck, and began to praise her.

"Young Haruno-"

"I thought I told you to call me Sakura."

"R-right, young Sakura, congratulations. You had shown everyone how strong and talented you were . I admit you even kept me on the edge of my seat. Also I too congratulate you to unlock your second quirk, to say that was unexpected and surprising, you're definitely stronger than before!"

"That's kind of you to say All Might-sensei. But I still need more work to do to get stronger, so that nobody will suffer ever again."

"... That is true, my girl, and I'm sure your parents would be very proud of you to had come this far, but remember this young Sakura, they be gone, but they will always be there in your heart."

With that, All Might had brought Sakura in a hug, patting her back to show that he'll be there to help her out. This caused Sakura to let some tears slide down her cheeks, but had smiled happily at his words. As they departed, Sakura wiped her tears away as she smiled brightly at All Might. He even smiled bigger back at her, before walking toward Todoroki with the silver medal, and spoke while placing the silver medal around his neck as Todoroki bowed.

"Young Todoroki, congratulations. I assume there's a reason why you didn't use your left side that could've helped you when the finals?"

"... Midoriya and Sakura had opened my eyes during the match, but then I started to doubt myself during the match with Bakugou. Now I see why you're so interested in them. I wanted to be the same hero as you, but my path isn't clear as I thought it would be. There is something I need to settle some things with someone, and very soon."

"... The look on your face is different than last time. I won't ask for details, but trust in yourself, I'm sure you'll work things out."

After All Might hugged Todoroki, he went on to Bakugou, but the problem with him, is that he refused to accept the gold medal. Bakugou had argued with All Might, not allowing him to place the award around his neck. That got on Sakura's nerves, eyes twitching while a vein had popped out of her head as Bakugou endlessly fought back. Eventually All Might had enough and put it in Bakugou's mouth instead, and turned around to announced.

"Now, these are our winners for today! But listen, everyone one of could've stand on these podiums. Think of what you saw. Competing against each other, learn from each other, and even climbed further to become better heroes. I think this generation of heroes are definitely sprouting! And I have one thing to say! You all know it, so say it with me!"

"Plus Ultra/Thank you for all your hard work!"

Everyone was quiet, and Sakura couldn't help it but face palm at All Might's wrong sentence. And the audience, the had gotten angry while booing him as they screamed.

"What!? That was the perfect time to say "Plus Ultra" All Might!"

"W-well, that's true, but they really did such a good job!"

' Honestly, All Might can be such an idiot sometimes.'

...

"Hey Sakura-chan! Good job making it  in the top 3, and also unlocking your second quirk! You were awesome, especially against Bakugou!"

"Naruto there is no need to shout, I'm standing right in front of you."

"O-oops, sorry Sakura-chan."

Naruto smiled while apologising, and Sakura only shook her head and smiled a little, and Sai had given a a quick hug to show he was proud of her as well. Yamato and Kakashi had to leave because a new problem had came up, leaving those three behind, though they did congratulate her before leaving. Both boys had to wait outside of U.A for Sakura to finished, and the minute she stepped outside the gates while talking to Kirishima and Bakugou, they immediately lashed to her. Kirishima smiled happily while Bakugou glared, and the minute Sai opened his mouth to "congratulate" Bakugou, hell broke loose.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU DAMN ASS!!"

"B-Bakugou calm down!"

"Sai, why is it that every time you open your mouth, people are against you?"

"... Was it wrong of me to congratulate him?"

"You actually insulted."

"Ah! I apologise then for my wrong words to speak then."

Sai had bowed, making Bakugou clicked his tongue while Sakura and Naruto sighed and Kirishima looked uncertain how to react. Seeing that this was getting no where, Naruto and Sakura spoke up.

"Sorry about him guys, Sai is... w-well, different from the rest of us."

"The truth is, Sai didn't have any childhood, in fact he and his brother were orphanage until a guy named Danzou adopted them, but..."

"Things had went downhill for them."

"... I don't see the picture you guys."

Sakura and Naruto looked at Sai who looked emotionless, not showing any sign of uncertainty, fear or any other emotion. For them it was a "don't tell the just yet", and they spoke.

"I'm sorry, but you'll have to ask Sai yourself, it may not look like it, but he doesn't like talking about his past, it is very unpleasant to listen."

Naruto nodded his head in agreement, and Bakugou had saw a hint of pain and anger in both his and Sakura's eyes, but it had quickly disappeared. With that Sakura bid both her classmates farewell and left with Naruto and Sai, making Bakugou stare in thought at them.

' That guy must've been through hell if they didn't wanted to talk about it.'
