"I'm wondering if those two are dating.. It was an instant victory in the first round, the girl that literally blew the audience away! From the hero course, it's Kourin Yagami! Versus! Making a comeback, it's the dark samurai equipped with the ultimate offence and defence! From the hero course, it's Fumikage Tokoyami! Start!"

Tokoyami didn't waste anytime as Dark Shadow emerged from him and charged at her. Kourin flew upwards and held her hands out firing flames from her palm to counter the monster. When she noticed the way Dark Shadow recoiled, she instantly figured out his weakness. When she landed back on the ground, she charged at her opponent, dodging all their attacks with easy.

"Yagami dodges Tokoyami's Dark Shadow with ease!"

She came face to face with the boy with a bird head and before he had a chance to react, she delivered a punch which sent him flying backwards. Dark Shadow came to his rescue and before he flew out of bounds, the monster had saved him. Her lips curved up into a small, unnoticeable smile as her body was covered in flames, she noticed Tokoyami running the other direction as to avoid the light she was producing so she sent a wave of fire to stop him. She knelt down to the ground and just like she did in Aizawa's quirk test, she pretended she was gathering wind before she ran at him. Dark Shadow lunged at her but she easily countered him by the flames that came out of her right hand.

"Fire suits her!" Kaminari mused, nodding to himself.

"Really? I think ice suits her more, she's cool, stoic and powerful!" Sero grinned, watching the brunette fight.

"Shut the fuck up, extras!" Bakugo growled out, causing the pair in front of him to shut their mouths. He, as well as everyone in the stadium knew that she could've ended that match in an instant, but she'd chosen not to.

By fighting in the long run, it gave the brunette an opportunity to see the weaknesses of her opponent. Kourin noticed that Tokoyami didn't like it when she neared him, he preferred and excelled in a longer combat range and Dark Shadow was sensitive to light. Two minutes into the fight, she'd already figured out what needed to be done. Kourin cornered the boy with a bird head, letting the flames that enveloped her body burn brighter, preventing Dark Shadow from attacking. I win. She delivered the final move, kicking the boy out of bounds sent the crowds cheering.

"Tokoyami-Kun is out of bounds! Yagami-Chan advances to the third round!" Midnight pointed her whip at the brunette, a smile adorning her features.

"Tokoyami is out of bounds! A satisfying victory for Yagami!"

Once the flames that covered her body dissipated, Kourin walked over to the boy on the ground and held out her hand to him. "It was a good battle."

"I was no match for you," he said, taking her hand to help him stand up.

"Only because I found out your weakness," she mused.

"I wanted to ask, the flames that covered your body, it didn't burn your clothes off. How?" Tokoyami asked, walking alongside her.

Kourin looked at the palm of her hands as a quiet hum escaped her lips. "The fire was there for the light, the temperature wasn't close to hot. If it was, you would've felt it from where I was standing."

Once Bakugo had defeated Kirishima, the second round was over and so, the third round consisted of Todoroki, Iida, Kourin and Bakugo. The last match of the second round was interesting at least, but now, she'd be facing her best friend. And if she did beat the ash blond, she'd be facing her childhood friend. The notion of losing popped into her head, but she quickly dismissed it as she didn't like losing. When she won, it felt like she was worth something, losing made her feel the opposite way. Once they announced the semifinals, the brunette made her way to the waiting room to clear her head. She was surprised when she heard Present Mic's booming voice saying that the second match would be starting soon.

"It's match two of the semifinals! Bakugo versus Yagami! How will these two fare against one another?!"

Kourin usually liked to prolong a fight, but she knew that wasn't a good idea with someone like Bakugo, with his determination and his quirk, it'd be best if she won the fight swiftly. I'm sorry Kat.. Once Midnight started the match, the ash blond charged at her, she really didn't want to have to expose her other quirks, but she needed this fight to be over quickly. Inhaling sharply, a deafening shriek escaped her lips causing Bakugo to drop to the ground and for the whole arena to cover their ears.

"A second quirk?! Yagami has a second quirk?!"

Bakugo was down, yes, but he had incredible willpower and tried to stand up, to no avail but he was trying. Even though the screaming had stopped, his ears were still ringing and it proved difficult to focus. Using this, Kourin thrusted her palm at him and he was blown out of the stage. Her heartbeat was erratic as her dual coloured hues stared at the ash blond who was on the ground, punching the wall in anger. He'd lost.

What the fuck was that? Is she really that strong? Bakugo clenched his fists as he looked up at the unscathed girl standing on the stage. He wanted to be angry, he was, but, seeing the worried and saddened look on her face dissipated all the anger he had for losing. Fucking Kou, don't show me your fucking sad face.

"Bakugo is out of bounds! Yagami-Chan wins!" An excited squeal escaped Midnight's lips as she stared at the girl in front of her. Maybe I should have a chat with her once this is all over. I have stories to tell.

"With this, the final match will be between Todoroki and Yagami! Seriously are they dating or not?"

Kourin ran to the ash blond and tackled him into a hug, burying her face into the crook of his neck. "I'm sorry. I just—"

"Eh?! Or perhaps, Bakugo and Yagami are dating?!"

"Leave them alone, announce the relevant things."

"I told you not to hold back, it just shows I have a long way to go," he sighed deeply, running his hands through her hair. "Beat that half and half bastard, now that you've... beaten... me. Go for number one. If it's you, I guess, I don't mind."

"What? Kat, conceding?" A soft gasp escaped her lips as she pulled away from him.

Bakugo shoved his palm into her face as an embarrassed blush appeared on his cheeks. "Shut the fuck up! Don't twist my damn words. And when the fuck did you get a second quirk?"

"I'll tell you some other time," she waved him off.

Midoriya watched from the stands as the pair walked alongside each other, an easy look resting on both their faces. He only ever saw the ash blond relax in her presence, he was nicer, around her. "I haven't seen any weaknesses so far," he mumbled, his green hues focused on the brunette. "If she's well rested,  Koucchan is pretty much unstoppable."

"She has two quirks?!" Kaminari's mouth gaped in shock.

"She's kind of like Todoroki then." Ashido pointed out.

Asui tilted her head to the side, "she kept it a secret and used it to get the match over and done with, very sly."

"Kat, I'd like to clear my head before my match, you really don't need to wait with me in the waiting room.." A tired sigh escaped her lips as the ash blond dragged her into waiting room two. "Wait, this is w—"

Bakugo kicked the door open, a confused look adorned his face when he saw the half and half boy sitting there. "Huh..? Hey, why are you here? It's waiting room," he went to check the number the realisation dawned on him. "Fuck, this is room two? Damn it!" When he was ignored, he stepped forward. "I may have gotten the room wrong, but what's with that atti—"

Kourin placed her hand over his mouth, her heterochromatic eyes meeting his. "Sorry, Sho. There's no hard feelings, right? Good luck."

Slapping her hand away from his mouth, he glared at the boy in front of him. "You better believe she's going to fucking beat you, and you better use your full power, otherwise her win will be meaningless!"

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were the one fighting him, Katsuki. C'mon, let's go." Before she could walk away with the ash blond, the half and half boy wrapped his fingers around her wrist, mumbling a soft stay.

"Let go of her." Bakugo growled out, glaring at him.

"Kat, go up to the viewing area. I'll talk with Sho for a bit, I'll be fine, okay?" She placed a hand on his shoulder, trying to calm the hot tempered boy down.

They engaged in a glaring match before the ash blond scowled and looked away. "Whatever," he grumbled, mumbling slurs underneath his breath. "Kick his ass." His lips made contact with her cheek, glaring back at her competition once last time before trudging back to the viewing area.

"What did you want to talk about, icyhot?" Kourin asked, taking a seat on the table.

Todoroki rested his head on her lap, his eyes fluttering close. "I still don't know whether to use my left side or not. He came to talk to me after my match with Midoriya and the only reason I used it was because I wasn't thinking of him. I was thinking about what Midoriya had said, what my mother had said... what you said."

She ran her fingers through his dual coloured hair, a soft hum escaping her lips. "I won't force you to use it, I know what happened. I do agree with Izuku though.. Endeavour may be your father, but you're not him, Sho.. You're kind, you're worth more than he is.. Never compare yourself to him. Ever, okay? I would like it more if you faced me with all you had, but, I won't force you. I'm glad you're opening up, little by little. If you do decide not to use your left side, come at me with all you have with your right."

"Daisuki. Son'nani," he whispered, giving her thigh a soft squeeze and they stayed like that, until their match started.

"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! The final, so to speak! From the hero course, Kourin Yagami! Versus! Also from the hero course, Shouto Todoroki! Start!"

In an instant, his hand pressed to the ground and he sent a humungous wave of ice in her direction. If she wanted him to go all out with his right, he would. It was the least he could do. Kourin on the other side of the stage held both of her hands out, melting the ice as it hurtled at her. It was forming quicker than it was melting, which just meant she had to increase the heat she produced. Ice formed above her which made it seem to the audience that she was encased in ice.

"Todoroki gets a blow in right away! Is he trying to avoid close combat with Yagami? Has the winner been decided already?!"

Closing her eyes, she inhaled and focused on the thought of fire as once again, her body was enveloped by flames, this time, blue. Her eyes snapped open and a surge of fire emitted from her body, melting the ice down. When the smoke cleared it revealed an unscathed brunette, though the hem of her U.A. shirt was on fire. "My turn."

"Her flames were red when she went up against Tokoyami!" Uraraka pointed out, staring at the flaming girl.

"She claimed it was merely for effects, the light.. It must mean that blue flames are hotter." Tokoyami mumbled.

"I guess not! Yagami easily counters Todoroki's ice with her flames! Smoking' hot!"

Todoroki sent out wave after wave of ice, but Kourin easily melted it. Just from his moves and his attacks, she knew that he wasn't going to use his left side for the final. In addition to the blue flames that covered her body, sparks began flying off and she pointed her hands up, aiming them towards her heterochromatic eyed male. A combined attack, lightning in fire. And on cue, blue flames intermingled with electricity shot the boy. Whilst he was busy, she snuck around behind him and delivered a kick to his back which sent him flying.

"Yeah! Kick his fucking ass!" Bakugo uncharacteristically cheered, a sadistically cheerful expression appearing on his face.

Sero sweat dropped, "he's unusually supportive.."

"A direct hit! What a powerful kick!"

Before going out of bounds he managed to catch himself with his ice and using it to move around the brunette.

"He avoids going out of bounds wit a wall of ice! Looks fun!"

It does look fun. Kourin lunged for him, but he caught her arm with his left side. She hoped that he would use it, but she ended up disappointed when he merely flung her away. If the half and half boy had been versing Katsuki, he wouldn't have been as level headed as the brunette. Her eyes landed on the burn mark she'd left on his hand from when he grabbed her and she felt guilty. Waving her hand, a surge of fire left her body burning all of the ice that'd formed around her. Before he had the chance to attack again, an ear splitting screech left her lips, causing the half and half boy to drop to his knees to cover her ears.

"So loud!" Hagakure shouted, though no one heard.

And she kept on screaming until she was right in front of him. Focusing all of her strength in her leg, she sent Todoroki flying out of bounds. Kourin closed her mouth and rubbed her throat, this was a relatively new quirk and she only had two weeks to practice with it. Any longer and she'd have damaged her windpipes. Her kick had been stronger than she'd expected and using it on Todoroki had knocked him out.

By the time the fire had gone, the U.A. shirt she was wearing had burned off, leaving the brunette in her singlet. "Todoroki is out of bounds! Which means Yagami wins!"

"It looks like we don't get to see Todoroki's fire in the finals, and Yagami wins with her paralysing voice and her blue flames! What a feat! The winner of this year's first year U.A. sports festival is from Class A, Kourin Yagami!"

"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 and fireworks went off in celebration.

From the ground, the first, second, and third placers rose. Kourin stood on the first place pedestal in the middle, to her right was Tokoyami and a scowling Bakugo and to her left was a stoic Todoroki. She wasn't a big fan of crowds, especially if she was being photographed and she was afraid of coming home. Of how her so called parents would react. She was scared.

Bakugo tugged at the brunette's hand, gaining her attention. "I knew you'd kick his ass. But just you wait, I'll kick yours next time." he told her in a pained voice.

"Yeah," she mumbled.

"Now, we will award the medals! The presentation of the medals will, of course, be by this man—" She was interrupted by a friendly laughter that echoed the stadium. Once they noticed who it was, the crowd was filled with excitement.

"Our very own All Might!" Midnight announced.

"I have brought the medals here!" But at the same time, the number one pro hero had spoken.

"I talked over you," she sweat dropped, smiling apologetically. "Now then, All Might, please present the medals, starting with third place." Midnight held out the medals.

He grabbed the four medals and made his way to the pedestals, starting with Tokoyami and Bakugo, he gave them a small piece of advice and finished off with a hug. He did the same with Todoroki. All Might finally reached the first place pedestal, his signature heroic smile adorning his features. "Young Yagami, I'm proud of you. Congratulations on winning first place," he wrapped his arms around her and leaned into her ear to whisper, "Emi and Dai, they would've been proud of you."

Kourin won. She'd won. So... why wasn't she happy? Her heterochromatic hues scanned the crowd and she saw her friends smiling faces, and that normally made her feel better. But she was scared. Very scared.

All Might turned back to the crowds. "Well, they were the winners this time! But, listen here! Anyone here could have ended up on the podiums. It's just as you saw! Competing! Improving each other! And climbing even further! The next generation of heroes are definitely sprouting! So, I have just one more thing to say! Everyone, please say it with me!" Raising his hand in the air, he shouted, "Thanks for your hard work!"

Whilst everyone else shouted, "Plus Ultra!"
