"Now let's move on to the Award Ceremony!"
Iida left for home early due to an emergency at home, his brother, Pro Hero Ingenium was attacked by a villain.
"Now for the medals!! Presenting them this year is..You know who!!"
"I AM.."
"He's everyone's hero ALL MIGHT!!!" "Here…"
'Cut you off. Sorry'
"First years are something else"
"Even all might came to watch."
"Todoroki kid. Congratulations. You held back. You didn't use your left side in the final match. Was there a reason for that?"
"It was my match against Midoriya…I think I've lost my way. I've always wanted to become like you. But it's not like I can just forget and get over things. That's not enough. There's still somethings I have to settle first"
"That's a new look I'm seeing on your face. So say no more. Whatever you must settle, I'm sure you can do it."
"Young Bakugo, you have displayed an wonderful performance. It's a shame you didn't make it to the top but treat this loss as learning experience. When becoming a professional hero there's much to consider than just raw strength"
Bakugo's expression said he doesn't give a fuck about the medal but that was a total loss. He had to acknowledge that hard fact truth.
"And finally Izayoi, you have earned the right to stand at the top."
"Can I ask for someting?"
"Sure, I don't see a problem"
"A match no a duel"
"Hahaha…you're ambitious young man, but I must decline. Maybe in the future perhaps."
"Oh well"
——————————————————————
"WELL! THESE ARE YOUR WINNERS!! BUT HOLD ON, EVERYONE!"
"Everyone here today has the potential to be standing up here!! As you all witnessed! Competition! Encouragement! Pushing each other to climb higher and higher!"
"The sprouts of today will grow into the heroes of Tomorrow!! In that Spirit, let's have one final CHEER!! Everyone say it with me! One! Two! Three!"
"Plus Ultra!" "Plus Ult-""Plus Ultra!!""Plus U-""Plus Ul-""Plu!""Plus.. ""Plus Ultr-""Plus Ultra!!""Plus Ultra!!""Plus Ultra!!"
"THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK!!"
"We're supposed to say "Plus Ultra" ALL Might!!"
"Oh right…it's just they really did work so hard and…"
——————————————————
"In light of festival you'll have tomorrow and the next day off. Scouting reports and such from the pros will be waiting for you here after the break. So look forward to that as you enjoy your time off."
——————————————
Todoroki with a new found motivation and a clear mind went to tackle his past with his mother.
Tenya Iida was devastated by the attack on his brother by the villain named Stain. His brother was in critical condition had he been a minute or two late his life would've on the line.
Oochako's parents came to meet her, to celebrate with their little champion.
Izayoi received a smack from Canaria, for his reckless behavior in the Sport's festival.
To cool her off, Izayoi had to manage the whole orphanage for the next two days off without any rest.
'Why did they broad-cast the damm tournament'
—————————————————
Two days after the sports festival, after everyone rested up.
It was pouring heavy.
'I'm wiped out, and it's only morning.' Midoriya was in front of UA's gate
"This is no time for an idle stroll!! We'll be late! Good morning, Midoriya!" Iida came running from behind in a Poncho and rain boots.
"Late? But we've got five minutes before the first bell"
"The students of U.A. make it to arrive ten minutes early!!"
Their was an unmistakable gloomy feeling from Iida despite his outward appearance.
——————————————————
Students were chattering before the homeroom.
"I had all these people talking to me on the way here." Tsuyu
"Same here! So many stares…it was embrassing!" Hgakure
"Me too" Kirishima
"All these grade schoolers told me I made a good effort" Sero joined in on the conversation.
"One little event, and suddenly the world's got its eye on us"
"That's UA for ya…"
Aizawa entered the class, "Morning Class."
"Morning teach" Izayoi entered behind him with a packet of rice cracker in his hand munching on them.
The whole class glared at him 'Seriously, it's third time now'
"Don't look at me, the rain was heavy."
"Today, we've got HERO INFORMATICS class and a special one at that."
'Stuff about hero law and junk. I suck at that…'
'A special one? Don't tell me its a surprise test! Give me a break.'
"You'll be coming up with your Hero Alias"
"YA!! HOO!!" "AWESOME!" "TIME TO SHINE"
"But first concerning the pro draft picks I mentioned the other day. It's based on who the pro think will be ready to join the hero workforce after another two or three years of experience. So you could say it's for them to show interest in your futures."
"But there is ample time for their interest to wavier before you graduate. And any and all offers can be arbitrarily revoked. It happens quite often"
"So, if we'll be picked now, that just means there'll be higher hurdles in the years to come."
