Akira's POV:
Iida barged into Class 1-A's prep room, a focused look on his face. "Is everyone good and ready?!" he exclaimed, grabbing the students' attention momentarily. "The event's about to begin!"
"Yeah, we're ready," Kaminari casually replied, leaning against one of the tables.
I had my legs crossed on the table, just trying to take a nap.
"Ummm... Gojo-san, please keep your legs off the table," Iida said hesitantly.
"Come on, Iida, you should let yourself loose sometimes," I said lazily, sliding down my glasses a bit, leaving almost the whole class blushing.
"But... still... I can't do that," Iida replied politely.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. You are the class representative after all," I said, sitting up properly as he nodded.
"You guys. That class really pissed me off. I really want them to see what we are," I declared while others nodded in excitement.
Bakugo cracked his knuckles, looking ready to blow something up. "About time we show them what Class 1-A's made of," he grumbled, smirking.
I grinned, leaning back and adjusting my glasses. "Let's give them a good scare, eh?"
"Just don't overdo it, Gojo-san," Midoriya cautioned, his expression a mix of admiration and concern. "We're here to win, not intimidate everyone."
I noticed Todoroki approaching Midoriya.
"Midoriya."
"Todoroki... what is it?"
"Objectively speaking... I'm stronger than you. More capable."
I smirked at the back-and-forth.
"Huh?! S-Sure..."
"All Might's got his eye on you, doesn't he?" Todoroki stated, not expecting a response. "Now I'm not about to pry into why that is, but... I will beat you."
"Ooh! A declaration from one of the strongest in the class?!" Kaminari exclaimed.
Kirishima stepped forward and placed a hand on Todoroki's shoulder. "Hey, man, why pick a fight now?! We're about to go on..."
"I really don't care," Todoroki shrugged Kirishima's hand off. His face darkened. "I'm not pretending to be anyone's friend here."
"You guys done?" I asked, and they nodded.
°•°•°•°•
The stadium buzzed with anticipation as Midnight took the stage. "It's U.A.'s Sports Festival! The one time each year when our fledgling heroes compete in a ruthless grand battle!" she announced, her voice booming across the arena.
"First up, you know who I'm talking about! The miraculous rising stars who brushed off a villain attack with their steely willpower!" Midnight pumped her arms into the air. "The first years of the Hero Course! It's Class A!"
"Following Class B, it's Class C, D, and E of General Studies! And here come the Support Course classes—F, G, and H! And the Business Course..."
The crowd began to chatter excitedly, their energy palpable as Midnight cracked her whip again, the sound resounding loudly. "PIPE DOWN! Your student representative is from Class 1-A, Akira Gojo!"
As I heard my name echo through the stadium, I couldn't help but chuckle. I stretched my arms above my head and strolled forward, waving to the crowd with a playful grin.
"Hello, people! I will show you what real strength looks like because I am the strongest one here. And I am winning this. Because 'Yowai mo' (You are weak.)"
I could see the crowd giving me hate, while my classmates facepalmed in secondhand embarrassment... how cute. Well, I didn't care; I was the strongest, and they didn't know it yet.
No one's POV:
Bakugo looked satisfied with Akira's speech but felt a bit down that he didn't get the stage.
"What? You liked my speech?" I teased, making Bakugo stop grinning.
"SHUT UP, YOU SUNGLASSES!" he yelled, and I laughed it off.

Author's POV:
Aizawa called me for a moment during the break.
"You called?" I asked.
"Yeah," he sighed. "Actually, will you not use your Infinity?" he asked, looking serious.
"I knew you would ask me that," I smirked, crossing my arms.
"Good thing. You know, we teachers have decided to keep your Infinity hidden. Only the teachers and Class 1-A know about it," he said, glaring at me.
"I can't disobey. But that would be best," I replied in a childish tone.
Aizawa nodded. "You are pretty strong. Stronger than some pro heroes, I guess. I don't know why and how, but if you don't want to tell, it's okay."
"I know," I smirked. "So let's call my quirk... floatation?"
"That's good," he said and walked away.
---
The U.A. Sports Festival was in full swing, and I effortlessly breezed past the crowded tunnel with my float quirk, quickly advancing to the second obstacle. There, I encountered the zero-pointers from the entrance exam. With a single punch, I took out two massive robots and sprinted past the remaining obstacles, occasionally glancing back to see Todoroki close on my tail.
In about two minutes, I cleared the entire course, using my speed and agility to cross the canyon and minefield with ease. Now seated back in the stadium, I watched the big screen as my classmates scrambled for second place. Midoriya, Todoroki, and Bakugou were in a heated race, each fighting for a spot behind me.
°•°•°•
Midnight soon announced the second event: the cavalry battle. "Each participant will receive points based on their placements from the previous game. And our top scorer—Gojo, with an astonishing 10 million points!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm infectious.
With such a high score, no one was eager to team up with me, except for Midoriya, who already had Tokoyami and Uraraka on his side.
"Gojo, want to join us? We're looking for one more," Midoriya asked, hopeful.
Akira shrugged. "Sure. This'll be fun. But I will be at the base to take my headband."
As the cavalry battle began, I found myself bombarded by attacks from other teams, each aiming for my high-point headband.
"Also, I am not using my infinity. Aizawa-senseitold me not to." Akira told them with a dissappointed face.
"Why?" Asked Ochako.
"Well..it's not important but still. Let's win it." I said as Ochako nodded
The event started and we made a formation.
"Well do you have any plan"
The game had started and a team already pushed them, softening the concrete underneath. Midoriya had quick thinking and said "Gojo wrap your arms around me float up and bring everyone up!" Gojo did it lazily and they ended up in the air. They could float up their indefinitely. Bakugou said "Deku, Gojo, you aren't escaping me!" Bakugou flew upwards and went for an attack on Gojo but Tokoyami blocked the attack and Bakugou started to fall. His teammates caught him.
Other teams started to shower their attacks upward and it became too annoying for Gojo to handle. Even though Ochaco made everyone on their team besides herself weightless. Gojo said "Midoriya, can we land!?" He asked "Why? Is it becoming difficult to handle!?" She responded "Yeah,
it's hard to dodge and my arms hurt" Midoriya agreed to land.
They had started their decent and it became a little harder for Gojo. Teams were camping the area where they were trying to land and more quirks had the ability to reach them. Gojo was slightly annoyed but tokoyami used his shadow to block all the incoming attacks. Gojo was quickly able to land and they were rushed by two teams.
Team Mineta and team Tetsutetsu both rush them. They attempted to flee but Ochaco's foot was caught on one of Mineta's balls. She got rid of her shoe and was now in the air with one shoe and sock.
Gojo said "Ochaco, your foot good?" She responded "Yeah!" "Good, I'm not dealing with a missing foot right now!" Meanwhile, Team Hagakure had gotten their headband snatched by Team Monoma.
As they were rising in the air, running from Team Mineta and Team Tetsutetsu, Bakugou again used his explosion quirk to fly up. He managed to reach Midoriya and was infront of Gojo. He was anout to use a large explosion to incapacitate Gojo. Tokoyami used his dark shadow to take the hit. Bakugou was still there hiding into Gojos hair to avoid falling back down.
He pulled on her hair hard to get a boost above her and went for another large explosion. It landed.
Atleast it would have landed. Gojo activated her limitless technique momentarily to give enough time to have it look like Tokoyami saved her. Gojo was safe as no one noticed. Except Tokoyami. Bakugou went for one more attack but was blocked by Tokoyami again, and this time dark shadow had knocked him out of the air.
When no one was watching, the teams that mainly comprised class B had suddenly taken all of the teams from that mainly comprised students from class A's headbands, except for Team Midoriya and Team Todoroki. Monoma explained to bakugou his glorious plan he had, how class B would beat out class A during the cavalry game. Bakugou was infuriated from the previous failed attempts, and used sero's quirk to anchor on Monoma and Took two headbands from him. In mere seconds, Monoma's plan was destroyed and the same went for the rest of the class B students.
Meanwhile, Team Midoriya and Team Todoroki were facing off. lida used his special move with his engine quirk to swipe the head bands off Midoriya and said "Its secret move I haven't told anyone in class A about. I told you didn't I, Midoriya? I would challenge you."
Just like that Team Midoriya had been left with zero while team Todoroki had gained 10 million points. President mic was screaming at the audience of the news.
Deku said "Get the points back!"
Tokoyami advised how that could be bad since they have Kaminari. Deku said they don't know how the points will be split up so they have to get the 10 million back. Uraraka agreed. Gojo said "If we're not in first place it's a loss either way. I won't have any of that!"
With 10 seconds left, Midoriya charged.
With 10 seconds left, Midoriya charged. Deku activated one for all to stop Todoroki from being able to use fire. "Grab the headband!" yelled Tokoyami. Midoriya still had his arm intact and was able to swipe one headband.
It was the one with the lowest value. 5 seconds were left. Gojo and dashed away from the group, straight for Todoroki. Bakugou had jumped and was flying over to where they were and yelled "Todoroki you're mine!" Gojo was 3 meters and had 0.2 seconds left. She was right there but the match was over.
"Let's see who the four top teams are right now!" announced Present Mic.
Midoriya looked devastated.
"Um ... I'm sorry. Really." Midoriya turned to his team with a crestfallen look on his features.
"Midoriya, you don't need to apologize."
Midoriya looked at Akira as she smirked. She held up Todoroki's headband. "I managed to get this."
His face immediately lit up.
"In fourth, Team Midoriya!" yelled Present Mic, just as Midoriya let out the waterworks. "These four teams will proceed to the final event!"
