[Third Person's PoV]
After Tony's match with Aoyama came Asui's match against Hiryu Rin from Class 1B. Tony and Melissa sat in the spectator seats with the rest of their class. Kaminari leaned against the rail, asking, "So who do you think is going to win?"
"It will depend on Tsu's pain tolerance," Tony said, engrossed in his phone.
"You don't seem that interested in their fight. Shouldn't you be paying attention? You're going to fight whoever wins next, after all," Mina said.
"No need. Although I said it will depend on her pain tolerance, Tsu has a 75% chance of winning."
"How the hell did you even manage to calculate that?" Jiro asked, looking at Tony in confusion.
"Based on their skills and quirks. Our class isn't the only one I've studied; I've looked over all the other classes as well," Tony said without looking up.
In the arena, scales began to grow on Rin's body for protection. Asui charged at him, hopping around. Rin threw scales at her, but Asui dodged and ran on all fours towards him. Rin attacked offensively, but Asui rolled out of the way, jumped up, and drop-kicked him. The kick barely did any damage, but Asui recovered and jumped back, shooting her tongue out to wrap around his leg.
Rin shot his scales at her tongue, causing her to wince, but she held on despite the pain. She lifted him and spun around, throwing Rin out of the arena to end the round.
Asui walked out of the area, tears filling her eyes as her tongue bled.
Everyone looked at Tony in surprise. Uraraka, behind him, leaned forward and asked, "Is that what you meant when you said it would depend on her pain tolerance?"
"Yup. If her tongue was too sensitive, she would have dropped him, costing her the round since she couldn't do any major damage to him. Her tongue was her way of winning."
Jiro turned towards him. "So what's my chance against Sero?"
"65%, but only because I trained you."
"What! It's that close?" Jiro asked in surprise.
The next fight, as previously stated, was Kyoka Jiro vs. Hanta Sero. Sero tried to capture her with his tape, but Jiro ripped them off with the metal part of her earphone jacks. Jiro then ran towards him, swinging her earphone jacks like whips, smacking and hurting him before giving him a little shock. She wrapped him up and suffocated him until he called it quits.
After Jiro's fight was Kaminari vs. Bakugo. Kaminari turned towards Tony, "Please give it to me straight. What's my chance against Bakugo?"
Bakugo, nearby, listened.
"45%."
"HUH!?!" Kaminari asked in shock. "I know I said to give it to me straight, but it can't be that bad, right?"
"It would be closer if you could use higher voltage, but you'd need to limit it; otherwise, you might end up killing him."
"HUH!!! THAT LITTLE ELECTRIC MOUSE CAN'T POSSIBLY KILL ME!" Bakugo shouted.
"No matter how strong you are, Bakugo, you can't survive against a million volts of electricity. You would either die or, in the worst case, become more retarded."
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME A RETARD, YOU QUIRKLESS BASTARD!!!"
"Huh? You actually managed to catch that? I didn't know you had it in you, Bakugo. You surprise me more and more," Tony said, genuinely surprised.
Bakugo looked ready to attack Tony, but they were soon called to the arena.
The fight went as Tony predicted, but Bakugo didn't come out unscathed. At one point, Bakugo was getting electrocuted as Kaminari had an aura of pure electricity protecting him. Even while getting electrocuted, Bakugo gritted his teeth, put both hands on Kaminari, and created a giant explosion that sent him flying out of the arena.
Bakugo couldn't move from his place as he was paralyzed, only able to look down at his arms, gritting his teeth. He had to be carried off to be healed by Recovery Girl.
Next was Hagakure Toru vs. Kirishima Eijiro. Toru looked towards Tony and asked him the same question as everyone else, wanting to know his opinion.
Tony didn't want to answer and just lifted his phone higher to his face. Although no one could see it, Toru had an awkward expression. "That bad, huh?" she said in a downcast tone.
"It's 5%."
Everyone saw her shoulders slump down, causing Tony to feel bad. "*Sigh* How about this: after the sports festival, I'll help you practice and train your quirk properly. It has a lot of potential, you know."
"Really!?" she asked excitedly. Tony simply nodded, causing Toru to pump her fist.
After she went down after being called, Melissa looked at him with a teasing expression. "You big softy."
Tony rolled his eyes and decided to ignore her, but Melissa didn't let that happen. She happily hugged his arm.
The round ended quickly. Even knowing she didn't have a chance, Toru still fought, but Kirishima was superior and ultimately won without Toru doing much.
Next was Melissa vs. Tokoyami. Tokoyami tried to fight, but Melissa shined a large light from her arc reactor in her chest, weakening Dark Shadow considerably.
Seeing that, Tokoyami recalled Dark Shadow and tried to fight hand-to-hand, but Melissa used her hand repulsor to shoot Tokoyami out of bounds, ending their fight.
After their fight was Shoto Todoroki against Rikado Sato. Tony was surprised to see that it went exactly like Todoroki's fight against Sero in the anime. A large ice wave was created, almost hitting the crowd as it grew past the stadium.
After cleaning and melting away all the ice Todoroki had created, the match between Tenya Iida and Mei Hatsume followed, which also went like in the anime. Hatsume used the chance to use Iida as an ad campaign. After she was done, she called it quits, as she just wanted to promote her work for investors.
"Well, consider yourself lucky!"
Mei turned towards the voice and found Tony looking down from the spectator seat with a small smile. He jumped over the railing, surprising everyone, and calmly walked towards the arena.
"Consider me interested. It seems to me you have a lot of skills," Tony smirked.
Mei grabbed Tony's hand and began to rapidly shake it with a large smile. "I'm a big fan! You have changed the way people view support items! It's a big honor to hear that you're interested in my work!!"
"Please take your business dealings somewhere else. We're in the middle of the sports festival," Aizawa's monotone voice was heard.
Which they did. "You have to let me look at your suit. It looks absolutely phenomenal!" Mei then began asking Tony a million questions about his suits at once. She even had to stop and catch her breath.
"You know how after the sports festival comes internships? How would you like to intern at Stark Industries?"
"Would I be learning personally from you?" Mei asked curiously.
"Is that what you want?"
Mei rapidly nodded her head, almost causing her goggles to fall off.
"But I also have my own internship to worry about, you know?" Tony informed her.
"Awww, and I wanted to make some babies with you."
Tony sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "I'll see what I can do… No promises, though."
Mei nodded in acceptance. "I'll take what I can get."
After finishing his dealings, the Sports Festival continued. After Mei Hatsume and Tenya Iida, it was the fight between Izuku Midoriya and Togaru Kamakiri, another member from Class 1B.
