Hitoshi sat in his chair and watched as everyone in the room did something for themselves before they had to go out into the field in front of all those people. Some of his classmates were pacing. Others were sitting stock still. Kaminari, on the other hand, was staring at him like Hitoshi held all the answers to life. And considering the reason Kaminari was staring at him, Hitoshi supposed he did. But he's not going to actively help the blonde. Where would the fun in doing that be?
His text message ringtone for the group chat Mei and Izuku put him in when they "befriended" him, sounded from his phone in his pocket and he pulled the device out.

Hitoshi pocketed his phone and lined up with his classmates. Kaminari had stopped staring at him to instead talk with a pink haired girl. No, Hitoshi didn't remember her name, so what? He's only talked with Izuku and Mei so far this year. And Kaminari, but Hitoshi doesn't count that. He's not sure if Kaminari really counts as a friend seeing as how Hitoshi's more accurately playing uninvolved wingman for the blonde. He says uninvolved because he's not actively trying to set the 2 up.
When his class is called out, they walk onto the field and wait. The moment Izuku's and Mei's class is called, Hitoshi finds his way over to them, ignoring the complaints and protests of those he's pushing out of the way.
"But exploding them would be so much easier." Is the first thing he hears when he gets in earshot.
"Who are we exploding?" Hitoshi asks, a little worried for those in Mei and Izuku's way.
"No one. She's talking about her babies." Izuku says, then turns back to Mei. "We can't explode the projects we're trying to present, MeiMei. How will we get recognized if we do?"
"With our unexploded babies!" Mei exclaims.
"I'm with Zuku on this one Mei. Maybe wait to explode them." Hitoshi says.
"Unless it's meant to explode, which none of them should." Izuku adds, looking directly into Mei's eyes.
"Fine." Mei pouts after a minute of the two support demons staring at each other.
"Who's doing the pledge?" Hitoshi asks, looking at Izuku (because for some reason he knows more than he should) and then up at the podium.
"Bakugou Katsuki." Izuku says simply.
"Who?" Mei and Hitoshi ask at the same time.
"Kaachan. Loud explosion boy with a shit personality." Izuku explains
"Let's get him out." Mei says, a particularly aggressive and chaotic smile on her face.
Hitoshi's not sure the reason for Mei to be so aggressive towards another person, but he trusts her judgement (and the fact that she's known Izuku longer so she may have information he doesn't at the moment) and instantly agrees. Izuku doesn't protest so that must mean something.
They watch as the blonde goes up to the podium and promises to "beat all the extras". Too bad for him, Hitoshi can tell Mei is thinking up something that'll get him out in the first round. Hitoshi doesn't care though. One less person to compete against.
Shouta watches from the announcer's booth as Hatsume grins in a way that couldn't mean anything good and how Izuku doesn't try to protest whatever ideas she may be offering.
He groans because this might be the most chaotic Sports Festival in all of UA history. He looks down at the script his husband was given and cringes internally at how the blonde is being made to broadcast the quirks of the students. Hopefully no future or current villains are watching the Sports Festival. He also hopes he doesn't have to intervene in whatever may happen.
"Shou, you're grimacing like something bad is going to happen." Hizashi says, turning to Shouta once he mutes his mic.
"Just look at the face Hatsume has on right now. That's bound to spell trouble." Shouta groans. Hizashi just laughs at his suffering. If anything happens maybe he can ground Izuku from going on patrols for a while. Just because.
"You can't ground Izuku for what Hatsume's going to do." Hizashi says before turning on his mic and counting down for the students' start. And dammit his husband knows him too well if he knew Shouta was considering grounding Izuku.
Shouta watches as his son and his son's friends clear the first obstacle of Todoroki's ice. He should probably talk to Todoroki about overkill. When the kids get to the zero point robots used in the entrance exam, Izuku and Hatsume set off from Shinsou. The lavender haired teen continues on his path while Izuku and hatsume seem to hijack one of the robots. Most likely Izuku's doing.
They get far along, using the robot as some kind of Uber and then abandoning it when they get to the pitfall. He hears Hizashi announcing all of this as it happens. He'll hold off on maybe possibly grounding Izuku for now.
Izuku and MeiMei ditch the robot, the fact that it is too big to maneuver over the ropes making them sad. And then MeiMei brings out the hover boots they worked on. They have multiple spares of each invention secured safely away in their lockers, almost all of them being prototypes. There's only a few that are finished products and those are the ones without a spare.
Putting on his pair of hover boots, Izuku activates them and immediately holds back a scream. He opts for quietly cursing under his breath a mantra of " shitshitshit fuck oh my fucking I knew we should have tested these more " as he makes his way across the chasm, MeiMei following behind and cackling.
They get half way before they have to land on one of the platforms and take off their hover boots. They put the hover boots back wherever MeiMei kept them (Izuku swears she has a second quirk that lets her have pocket dimensions where she can keep inventions she's not using) and resign themselves to crossing the chasm like the other students.
Everything goes shit (if it's in a good way has yet to be seen by the inventors) when they finally cross the godawful canyon and make it to the last obstacle.
Hopefully it's a good thing that everything goes to shit.
