It's been 2 weeks since Sora and the group started training, While everyone else was training with each other Sora was teaching Shinso how to wield a bo staff and use basic martial arts saying that his weakness is close combat and he needed to cover them if he wants to enter the hero course.
Shinso was hesitant but Sora carefully guided Shinso, Sora also taught Shinso how to predict someone's next move.
Shinso hopes that it will be enough to help him get noticed to by the pros heros as Sora and Shinso fist bumped each other with a smile
"See you at the finals" Sora said as Shinso nodded "See you at the finals" They walked away, going to their rooms as Sora walked in to see Midoriya and Todoroki facing each other as they turned to look at Sora who had a smile on his face
"Wrap it up, We go in 5 minutes" Sora smiled as everyone nodded as they got ready and stood up, going to the hallway as they hear the crowd and Present Mic hyping up the students and audience for the festival as Sora smiled, since this year Nezu asked if Sora could perform a quick concert for the Sports Festival after the Players Pledge to lighten the mood and excite the Pro Heroes so they could enjoy and Sora agreed on the condition that he doesn't do it as Sora but as 'Soar' and make the grand reveal in order to boost his popularity for the future since the festival will be where students start gaining popularity and gain pro hero's attention and Nezu agreed
the only people who know Sora is 'Soar' are his producer and manager, Kyotoku, His parents, Shota and Hizashi and Principal Nezu, No one else knows who Soar was behind the mask.
"Now, Give it up to the class that survived a real life villain attack, Hero Course Students, Class 1-A!!"
The Class started walking as the crowd roared and cheered as the Class walked confidently as they stood infront of the stage as Mic introduced the other classes, noticing the cheers being not as loud as Class 1-A's were but Mic continued as he finished introducing the classes.
The screens turned to look at Midnight as she took the stage with a whip in hand and Mic as she announced "Alright everybody, Before we begin let's have the Players Pledge from the Representative of the First Years, Class 1-A's Representative, Sora Higurashi!" Midnight said as Sora walked up to the stage and took the mic from Midnight.
"I here by pledge to become a great hero and lead my classmates with integrity and kindness, to become the kind of hero UA would be proud of, the kind of hero that inspires people to follow their dreams even if it's something as simple as to become an artist or a musician, because I want to be a hero and musician, the kind that lifts people up from their saddest moments and show them that they still have a bright tomorrow to look forward to!" Sora smiled as he finished as the crowd clapped as Midnight took the mic from him, Sora went backstage and quickly went inside a hidden tunnel as Sora ran back to the room and immediately took and placed his 'Soar' costume on as he hears Midnight announcing their special guest.
"Alright everyone, before we continue on with the festival, this year in order to lift the spirits of our student we've organized a surprise concert with a very special guest!"
Sora got back inside the secret underground tunnel and waited for Midnight to say his name as Sora puts his mask and hood on to cover his face and hair, as UA staff started putting instruments on the stage as Midnight continued
"He's a new rising star in the music industry and has already become famous just from 3 songs! His face is unknown yet it feels familiar, Let's all give it up for the the mysterious masked musician, Soar!"
Soar jumped out and landed on stage as his mask turned on and made a happy face as his mic turned on and connected to the speakers as his voice became slightly robotic, the crowd and student roared as they get to see a live concert from Soar, a new hit in the music industry.
"What's up, UA?! Come on let me hear you cheer!" The crowd and students cheered as Midnight got off the stage to let Soar start his show.
"Today I'm going to be performing my latest creation! This is devoted to our talented rising heroes from the different courses! The song is called 'Peace Sign' now let's get started shall we!" Soar said as a staff member gave him an electric guitar, Soar put the strap around his shoulder and played a quick solo as the lights dimmed and Soar started singing as the music started as the students and pros quiet down and listened
"Woah Woah Woah Whoa~
Woah Woah Woah Whoa~
Woah Woah Woah Whoa~
What a strange sensation inside of me,
The feeling of entrapment holding me
And as a plane above flew so endlessly,
The nagging thought; I think it's a sign"
The students and pros cheered as they started clapping to the beat as Soar continued.
"The night is drawing near and these empty tears
Have left me longing for a way to face my fears
And do I have strength or the courage within
To take a step, reach out for my goal.
This life is, so pointless
Or at least it seems that way
When everything around me is spiraling towards
A fast-approaching end.
But this one thing, just one
thing, a moment no one can deny
Even if my fate's been decided,
I'll embrace my ignorance!
So, I sing~!"
The crowd started singing with him off key but just having fun as Soar continued to sing and play the guitar as the whole show was being filmed on live cameras.
"Kill the doubt that's always paralyzing.
Overflowing, there's a fire inside me!
The echoes of the past are slowly fading away!
A hero's role is one that cannot be forsaken!
Caring for those who have hearts that are breaking!
This powerful refrain is taking hold of my soul!
So, I guess I'll throw up a peace sign
Running towards the path before me!"
Soar stopped playing as a guitar the band continued playing as he extended his hands to his classmates, Midoriya and Jiro as they looked at each other then their classmates as they encourage them to get on stage as they took Soar's hand and got on stage next to him as Soar gave both Midoriya and Jiro a guitar as they were nervous but thanks to the lessons they were taking from Sora, they knew how to play as Soar insisted
They took the guitar and started playing with the band as Soar started singing and playing his guitar again.
"From that day I knew all the ways you grew..
When I told you "I'm protecting you"
It was a shock to see what you meant to me!
As my weakness started to show..
I never thought I'd be such a different me..
Since I said I'm better on my own..
And I won't disagree if you laugh at me..
'Cause now I'm scared of being alone..
And I'm fighting, and I'm desperate!
As I feel like I can't breathe..
It's like I feel a buzzing inside my head and heart..
Come from deep inside of me!
And even, If broken..
I will try to touch your heart!
Attempting like I mean it, My pride won't
It won't just fall apart!
One day!
We'll reach the sun right over the horizon
Staring at sunlight we're laughing and smiling!
Bathed in the blue like daylight, Burning into the sky!"
Soar threw his guitar pick backwards as Jiro caught it as she jumped up excitedly as she started playing with it as Soar got a different guitar pick and continued playing with that.
"And we will leave the cities far behind as we go!
Holding your hand as we look to tomorrow
We will move together while I'm holding your hand!
To a future absent of twists and turns
Moving to a happy ending!
I stop and think about the days that have been beat and bloodied..
I see them moving to the future looking worn and muddied
I hear your words and suddenly they have come alive!
I hear them loud and clear
Like music to my ears
Your soul's a chrysalis and you've been sleeping soundly in it
This dream is missing pieces, couldn't see the value in it
But now the only thing I want's to get it back~!
Once more!
We'll go beyond again we're going further
Gathering power and feeling the fervor
Someone's song is screaming now to come out of me!
Because those eyes of yours are always red from crying..
Giving you smiles is the goal that I'm vying!
A song to make a hero is what this has to be~!"
Soar stopped playing the guitar and raised his hand as Jiro and Midoriya followed and made a peace sign as everyone in Japan who was watching followed as Soar continued singing
"With my peace sign high as I say goodbye!
This hero's story's just beginning!
To a future absent of twists and turns!
Moving to a happy ending!"
Soar finished singing and the music stopped as he finished the song, Soar quickly did a guitar solo as he finished.
