U.A.'s Gym, 21.00 p.m., 1 November, 2220
T-1 day to School Festival
"The gym's closing soon! Let's do a final check and one last run-through!" Kirishima yell
Mina clap her hands "Here we go!" She yell "Tap, tap, two! Tap, tap two!" Mina instructed the dance team
"Before we started, I was worried we'd seem amateurish, but the band and dance teams are both better than amateur level, huh? Ashido's unexpectedly is a mean coach, huh" Sero ask Kirishima
"Yeah. Because she likes dancing, she can be really serious about it. I also have a hard time when she teach me to dance back then. She really love dancing" Kirishima smile
"I'm pretty nervous" Yaoyorozu said nervously
"Don't improvise weird stuff during the actual performance. It'll confuse most of us except me and Midoriya" Jiro told Bakugou
"Those words hurt!" Kaminari complain
"Kaminari, it's not just you" Tokoyami pat Kaminari's shoulder
"It's hard to make split second improvise that work along Bakugou. Me and Jiro are lucky that we able to follow through" Midoriya said
"And then Iida, Go straight to the ceiling from the wings, and set Aoyama up, pulling him up with the rope" Mina instructed Iida as Iida pull Aoyama up
(Since Midoriya part of the band team, Iida's the one who pull and swing Aoyama around)
"That's it, that looks good!" Mina said
Suddenly the gym door is open loudly
"It's already 9 o'clock! Students only be here till nine!" Hound Dog yell
"Shoot, let's go home" Kirishima said
Later, everyone walk back to the dorm
"Woo, I can't sleep!" Kaminari cheer
"I'm at max excitement!" Mineta cheer
"Quiet down! Some people are sleeping!" Mina whisper yell
"I wonder if everyone will get excited with us..." Iida said nervously
"It's better to not think about stuff like that. Getting embarrassed or nervous is the worst. Once you get on the stage, all that's left is to have fun!" Jiro claim
"You were super embarrassed, though!" Kaminari pointed out
"That was different" Jiro blush
Todoroki walk to Aoyama who's doing inventory check
"The rope's frayed" Todoroki notice the rope already worn out
"Wow! We did abuse it quite a bit during practice. Proof of our hardwork!" Aoyama claim
"Yes, but it's dangerous. We better replace it" Iida recommend
"Oh my, why don't you ask Yao-momo to make you one?" Kaminari suggested
"Yao-momo's already sleeping! Don't treat her like a hand tool!" Mina scold
"But people use me as a charger" Kaminari deadpan
"This is what it means to look down on men" Mineta claim
"Anyway, we need to buy a new rope by tomorrow morning" Todoroki said
"I got it covered" Izuku said as he toss a bundle of rope to Aoyama
"What is this rope? It have different texture" Aoyama notice
"It's a Heavy Duty Tactical Rappelling Rope. Use for rappelling and climbing by Special Forces, it could withstand up to 4000kg of weight, almost double the worn out rope" Izuku explain
"We're save! Merci, Midoriya!" Aoyama said thankful
"Vous êtes le bienvenu" Izuku reply surprising Aoyama
"Now, I really should getting to sleep" Mina said
"Yeah" Kirishima agrees "Well, then, we'll probably do this again tomorrow, but. Night owls! We're a little early, but... let's definitely make this a success!" Kirishima cheer
"Yeah!" Those who are there cheer excitedly
Tomorrow for sure
Saturday, 2 November, 2220, 8.45 a.m.
"It's almost time! I'm getting nervous!" Kaminari yell between excited and nervous
"Clear and serene... calm down, Kaminari" Yaoyorozu tries to calm down her nerves
"Clear and serene..." Tokoyami tries to calm down as well
"Anyway, Bakugou, put on your T-shirt. Since we had them made and all" Jiro told Bakugou
"The dance outfit are perfect, too! We just modified some ready-made clothes, though" Mina said
"It's gotten pretty wrinkled" Uraraka said as she fix Mina's skirt
"Doesn't matter, as long as it's sexy!" Mineta jump around
"I hope everything goes as planned" Iida said nervously
"Yeah, and let's also hope there's no annoying assholes trying to ruin it" Izuku said
"Annoying who?" Iida ask confuse
"Don't worry about it, just worry about our performance. And I'm sure they already been dealt with" Izuku reassure as he look to the woods outside U.A.
Meanwhile, Gentle and La Brava are walking through the woods near U.A.
La Brava was recording Gentle "Dearest viewers, I think it's time to give you a taste of my hijinks. Try not to be so dazzled to avert your eyes as your favorite scoundrel show off his talents, Gentle Criminal at your service. I shall keep my words brief, for this cape, I will infiltrate U.A. High School" Gentle declare at the camera
"So cool" La Brava said in awe
Suddenly they feel an eerie feeling, they look around and sees the woods is rather dark and eerie
"It's quite spooky in here, Gentle" La Brava said a little afraid
"Don't you worry, La Brava. This eerie feeling is just an before taste to the great tea we will drink. Our time has changed, La Brava, but if I can still manage to sneak in, then I may can still obtain the notoriety I seek as a men who accomplished great feat, history will remember my name" Gentle claim smugly
"Wouldn't count on that" Someone with a deep voice suddenly said, surprising Gentle and La Brava
"What's that?!" La Brava yell surprise
"Who's there?! We're not afraid of you" Gentle said a little surprise
"Really?" A voice ask eerily
Suddenly 2 men wearing full gear military gear appear from behind the trees on their right
"What? Where they came from?" La Brava ask afraid
"Stay back, La Brava" Gentle shove La Brava away from the soldiers
Then two more soldier appear from their left, both are wearing ghillie suit
"There's more?!" La Brava yell afraid
"What the...?" Gentle said shocked
Then a soldier walk from behind a tree, he's wearing a bonnie hat and smoking cigar, he walk in front of Gentle and La Brava "You two are not supposed to be here" Price said as he blew out his cigar
"Who are you?" Gentle ask a little scared by Price's intimidating figure
"My name is not important, and you two are coming with us" Price said
"I have an important job to do, Mister soldier. My partner has devise a plan to disable every security inside U.A., and my dastardly plan will be successful. So if you may, me and partner like to go ahead" Gentle explain with proud
"This is not a request. And you cannot say "no" to us. You two are coming with us, alive, or dead" Price said with a deep voice, scaring Gentle and La Brava
Price toss away his cigar "Bravo 6, going dark" He declare as he engage his GPNVG-18 Night Vision Googles

"Oh, that's looks good on you!" Tetsutetsu complement
"Isn't it too sexy?" Awase ask
"Hey, boys, don't just walk in like this" Reiko scold them
"That appearance! It's hard to believe that's the look of someone who's sold her soul to violence!" Monoma yell
"Is that a compliment or an insult?" Kendo ask annoyed
"A complement!" Monoma claim "After all, the one who entered you was me! since you're popular after being in a commercial, I'm sure you'd win! If you win, then Class B will be even more "Plus Ultra"! Most importantly, during that time, I would be free from your powerful fists! Hahahaha!" Monoma laugh like a maniac
"Well, thankfully, I've prepared for situation like this" Kendo said smugly

"They stuffed too much in! It was amazing in a lot of ways. I couldn't help but laughing. The music was really entertaining! And the dance was energetic" The audience complement Class 1-A's performance
"Hey, good work!" Mirio greet Izuku as he and his classmates are cleaning the gym
"You know. At first there was a loud noise and it was scary, but then everyone was hopping with the dance and then there was a flash, but then it got cold and then there was a spinning light and you began to sing "Wooo yea" And I said "Wooo yeah" too..." Eri explain her experience with the performance
Izuku pat Eri's head "I'm glad you had a good time here, little girl" He said smiling. Eri reply with a big and genuine smile
Later, everyone are having fun on their own, some are enjoying the entertainment, some compete in a ninja warrior like obstacle course, some enjoying what other classes and courses provide, some are enjoying the food
In the afternoon, the beauty pageant winner was announce. Nejir Hado from 3rd year was crowned as the winner
Izuku, Mirio, Eri, and Aizawa are standing in front of the U.A. entrance, Eri is returning to the hospital
"Thanks for coming today, it was fun" Izuku told Eri
"Yeah" Eri reply
Izuku kneel down in front of Eri "Surprise" He said as he show her a candy apple
"Candy apple! They were selling those? I couldn't find them" Mirio said surprise
"I didn't see anyone selling them, so I create one myself, it's quite easy" Izuku explain as Eri eat the candy apple
"It's even sweeter" Eri smile happily
"I'm glad you liked it" Izuku smile
"It's time for Eri to return" Aizawa said
"Yes, Mr. Aizawa" Mirio comply
"We'll see each other again next time, okay?" Izuku said, he hug Eri and she hug back "Till next time" Izuku said then he walks away
As Izuku walks away, Eri struggle to say something, she was nervous to say it. But when she see Izuku's back getting farther away, she collect all her courage
"A-Ano!" Eri yell making Izuku to stop and look back
"Yeah?" Izuku ask in the distance
"Can... can I..." Eri said nervously
Izuku approach Eri and kneel down "You have anything to say to me?" Izuku ask softly
"Can I call you something else...?" Eri said timidly
"You want to call me other than "Delta"?" Izuku ask, Eri nod "Okay, what do you want to call me?" Izuku ask
"Can I... can I call you... dad...?" Eri request timidly while closing her eyes
Izuku froze when he hear what Eri want to call him, Mirio and Aizawa also surprise by Eri's sudden request
"We're asking you to find love, to find happiness. You deserve that happiness" Izuku remember what his father told him about finding his own happiness
Izuku smile softly "Can you say that one more time" He requested
Eri open her eyes and look at Izuku "...dad..." She said a little afraid that Izuku will denied it
Izuku pat Eri's head "Yes, little girl?" Izuku said smiling widely
Eri sees the smile and hug Izuku tightly "Dad!" She yell happily
Mirio is tearing up "I think she found her home" He said genuinely happy
Aizawa look at the scene stoically, though internally happy 'If Eri live with Midoriya, he will became more busy. Normally raising a child is not easy and I wouldn't let my student do that. But Midoriya is not like any other "normal" student. He is a soldier first and a student second, he manage to balance his work and school this past year without any issue. If anyone could raise Eri and still focus with school and work is none other than Izuku Midoriya. I'm going to talk to Nezu after this' Aizawa though
"I'm sorry to break this sweet moment, but Eri need to go back" Aizawa said
Izuku release Eri and stand up "Well, this is heartwarming while it last. I'm sorry I couldn't take you back to the hospital" Izuku apologize
Eri shake her head "It's okay, dad. I know you are busy" She reassure
Izuku pat Eri's head "Be safe, okay" He said
"Okay, dad!" Eri smile widely Before Mirio and Aizawa take her back to the hospital
As Mirio, Aizawa and Eri walk away from U.A., Izuku wipe a tear from his eye "Damn, I never though I'd cry. Well, this does sound like a happy ending" He said smiling before walking back to his dorm
