After the students and their parents settled down, Izuku and Uraraka were eating peacefully in the cafeteria, his eyes gazed at the girl as she ate her food like a puppy.
'Cute...'
"Midoriya-boy, wanna eat a lunchie together? ~" All Might approached them and offered cutely.
"...."
He looked at Uraraka. "Sorry, I'll be back in a bit."
"U-umm..." She nodded absentminded, trying her best to process the disturbing sight before her.
The two left towards the teacher's office.
"You've shown me and everyone that you're ready, Midoriya-boy. However, I want you to declare to the whole world! Declare that you are here!" All Might spoke passionately as he put his hand on his protegé's shoulder.
"I understand, trust me, sensei, I won't fail you." Izuku looked into his eyes with conviction, he was ready to show them all.
After a brief chat with All Might, Izuku opened his phone and created social media accounts in his name, that way his name will be his and won't be stolen after the festival.
He posted several photos of his progress throughout the past 10 months, followed by a simple picture he took yesterday.
"Midoriya, speech." Aizawa extended his hand.
"Right, here." He gave him his prepared speech.
"So, this is what you decided to speak on the stand?" Aizawa reviewed Izuku's speech with a calm face.
"Yeah, I decided to keep it simple and safe" Izuku smiled.
'Bullshit, this shit is fake.' Banjo spat out in irritation.
'But he won't know that until he starts speaking.' En sighed.
'I thought you all hated me now?'
'Fuck. You. I'm stuck in here with you, I'd beat the shit out of you if I could get out, what you did to Nana was disgusting.' Banjo's voice was seething.
His words cut deeper into Shishido's heart than he is willing to admit.
'...My story, my choices, there's a reason you past users all failed to kill that monster, I'm not as good hearted as you all.'
'We didn't have cheats you bastard!!'
'Enough! stop this charade already, what's done is done, work together for fuck's sake.' Hikage rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, as dead as he was, dealing with the 9th was killing him.
"Well, go on with it I guess, don't say anything I wouldn't say." Aizawa warned.
"Sure." Izuku smiled.
Izuku turned and walked to his classroom, he saw multiple people blocking his route.
"Wooah...what the heck?!" Ochako looked at the road ahead, full of students from multiple classes, all watching and leering at them like an animal in a zoo.
Izuku's fake smile faded.
"Excuse me, passing through, thank you." Izuku walked past them, pushing them easily with his powerful body, he didn't even need to push them, he just walked and they parted.
"Hey! We're talking over her--" Setsuna Tokage's words were cut out by the figure of Izuku, she stared at him for a while, struck with his appearance.
'Is this guy some kind of idol?' Her curiosity was instantly piqued.
"Oh? You're blocking my way to my class but I'm at fault?" Izuku turned to her and spoke calmly, his face was showing a neutral smile.
"Oh..uh.. sorry.." Setsuna blushed and began retreating slowly.
"Wait! You're from 1-A?" Neito Monoma asked suddenly, interrupting the crowd that was giving way for Izuku, successfully irritating Izuku in the process.
"Yes, now back off the road, I'm getting late for class." He pushed past him with his shoulder, almost knocking him down to the floor.
"Hey, who the hell do you think you are?"
"That's right! Just because you fought some villains doesn't make you better than us!"
"Don't think that you're safe, we, the general education can be heroes too after the sports festival evaluation, I can be a hero too!"
"This is 1-B class, don't think you're better than us!"
"Hey you! This is B class talking, I heard you knocked around some villains or whatever, so I came to see for myself, I don't wanna hear from some broccoli head!"
Bakugo smiled at that, deciding to steal that insult.
"That's right, this is a retaliation against you, I, Mineta Minoru of the general education can step up to be a hero too!"
"Why do you get to have an entire building for yourself? We deerve a building too!"
"That's right! screw you, 1-A!!"
Izuku stared at them as he stood near the door to his class, his face was unreadable.
Shinso looked at Midoriya who was verbally attacked by all of the students surrounding him, he walked forward with Bakugo to start a fight but froze when they heard a loud deafening heartbeat.
DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM
Izuku looked at them all with a neutral expression, he was angry, so angry that his king Engine Activated.
King Engine responded to heavy negative emotions, if Izuku felt large amounts of pain, fear, anger or hatred, it will activate by default.
As such, the entire hall froze like a deer in the headlights.
"You seem excited that we were attacked." Izuku's voice was calm, eerily calm, it reverberated into the hall and made them all flinch, even his own classmates felt restricted.
"Is it that enviable? Being attacked by villains on the first week of attendance?" His eyes scanned the crowd like a tiger.
"Do you want to face a villain that much? Is this what you ultimately desire?"
DUM DUM DUM! DUM! DUM! DUM! DUM!
"Step forward. I'll show you what it's like."
The students took multiple steps back slowly, their backs sweating cold sweats and faces contorting in utter horror.
Death.
"Scatter."
"Hii-hiieek!" Following this squeal, as if a signal was heard, they all ran away desperately in fear, pushing each other to run the fastest away from him.
He looked at their back, crimson eyes glowing ominously until they all disappeared.
Izuku sighed and calmed down instantly, his loud deafening heartbeat ceased as he took a deep calming breath.
"Trouble makers..." He walked to his class, eyes frowning.
The class stared at him in a daze.
"Let's go, class is starting soon."
"Yes! President!" X8
"..."

Directly after the U.S.J. attack, two figures crossed through a gate and fell down to the floor, one stood calmly while the other looked at the ground in shock.
"What's wrong? Shigaraki Tomura."
A calm voice spoke through the old screen.
Shigaraki Tomura, shivering as he clutched his hair, tears falling from his eyes as he huddled in a corner, filth clinging to his shirt.
Yet, his eyes burned with hatred. Hatred and fear.
"It's him...that green monster...!" His teeth chattered at the thought of him, a demonic shadow loomed over him, holding his neck with a scythe.
He began scratching at his neck habitually, whenever Shigaraki Tomura felt stressed he scratched his neck.
He kept scratching until it started bleeding. His stomach was hurting him so much that he felt like puking but had nothing to puke.
Seeing that his first tool was useless, All for One turned to the second tool.
"Speak, Kurogiri."
"Yes." Kurogiri walked towards the screen.
"A teenager with green hair and red eyes foiled the entire plan, he intercepted the Anti-symbol of peace Nomu, he attacked us and when I came to be I witnessed him defeating the Nomu with the help of All Might." He spoke calmly, like a robot.
"..."
All for One's interest peaked, and a wicked smile appeared.
"Describe his Quirk."
"Yes. He had power enhancement quirk, most likely a powerful intimidation quirk, black tendrils and finally, he could float."
"And teleportation!" Shigaraki Tomura barked as he got up.
"This wasn't our deal, sensei! You told me that the Nomu was stronger than All Might himself, how is a teenager capable of decimating it?!"
Behind the screen, All for One's smile faltered, showing disappointment at his cowardly actions.
Still, as multiple images flashed through his mind of people with said Quirks that he fought in the past, he couldn't help but utter calmly.
"Calm down, Shigaraki Tomura. This isn't a bad thing, you've done well."
"Huh...?"
AFO's smile returned, brighter than ever.
"With this we know why All Might started getting slower and less active."
"He has chosen a successor."
With the sound of sinister cackling, the screen went black.
---
"Gather 'round mass media, this year, all your favorite highschool kids will let their youth run free like a bucking bronco!" Present Mic spoke into the multiple mics then took a deep breath.
"The sports festival of U.A. has officially began! ARE. YOU. READY?!" He roared with power.
For the past few days, Yamada has been taking many therapeutic sessions to get himself into a better mental condition, he urged Aizawa to do the same but the man refused, drowned himself in Hero work at night and being a teacher at day, he barely sleeps.
"The sports festival is in 3 hours, in the meantime, a word from our sponsor!"
Present Mic pointed at the screen as an ad appeared "Join us in playing Raid: shadow legen--"
---
AFO took over an antique looking phone by the standards of this day and age, he slowly dialed a number before calling.
The person he was calling picked up almost instantly.
"Kashimo. I want something from you." He spoke in a calm rigid tone that broke no way for argument.
"Yes sir, of course sir, anything you want!" Kashimo replied hurriedly, his fear evidently clear.
Kashimo, a corrupt politician in Japan, he spends his days gambling and consuming all types of illegal drugs, one time he met AFO and bought young girls for a night from him, not knowing that he was being recorded throughout the entire act.
"A student in U.A, male, green hair and red eyes, fetch me information about him, everything." AFO spoke in disdain, ordering the man like a dog.
"B-b-but sir! I-I can't look into the students of U.A., their principal would definitely notice my actions!" Kashimo begged in fear, visibly shaking.
AFO was silent for a long moment as he took a deep breath from his tubes to calm himself.
"It seems like you forgot your position. Should I share what you did to those young girls for the entire world to see?
"No! no, no, please, I-I will do it, please!"
"Good. You have two hours."
"Yes sir, thank you sir!" The fat man thanked him and nodded into the phone, his sweaty face showing visible distress.
AFO cut the call immediately, he called another number afterwards.
"Kashimo Motonohi, Tokyo. Make it look like suicide."
"Yes sir." An old man's voice replied calmly...

"Man, this year's sports festival's security is super tight, I can't even buy snacks without needing my identity checked" Mountain Lady chewed on nuts that she bought with 50% discount using her womanly charm.
"We, too came with the intention of scouting..." Power loader stared at the police officers.
"But the security is super tight, I feel like we won't be needed here." Kamui Woods shook his head helplessly.
"The attention this year is fully on the freshmen." Fat Gum smiled.
On another area.
"Why do I have to be here, Ryukyu!" Miruko snatched a snack from a vendor with irritation.
"H-hey! You didn't pay!"
"Haaaah?!"
"On behalf of all my ancestors, I humbly apologize."
Ryukyu sighed and gave the vendor his money, making him look at her like a goddess.
"Miruko, stop being a bother, you should train the next generation too." She side eyed the rabbit woman.
"Why should I? If they're good enough they won't be needing any training." She replied carelessly.
"There's a student you might like this year among the freshmen, it was said that he fought with All Might himself." Ryukyu smirked.
Miruko's rabbit ears twitched as she turned back slowly. "Who's that?" She asked with great curiosity, eyes wide open.
"Nope. I have no idea; we'll find out later." Ryukyu snickered at her displeased look.
Miruko groaned.
On another area.
"So, you came to watch your son, eh?" Hawks walked near Endeavor who kept trying to create distance and walk away in irritation.
"Hmph..." He replied in irritation. "I want to see that green kid, I want to make him push Shoto." His beard flared as he mentioned his son's name.
"Haha, alrighty then!" Hawks chuckled as a woman came to him with a pen asking him to sign her chest.
On another area.
"I don't want to be here." Edge Shot grimaced at the large crowd.
"It'll be fun!" Wash dragged his introverted friend into the security checks.
On another area.
"It's not enough..." Sir. Nighteye stared at the security solemnly.
"Cheer up bro, nothing's gonna happen in the festival." Rock lock replied with a smile.
".... It's not during, but after."
"Hmm?"
"Nothing, lets grab some crepe."
"Bet. You're paying though."
"...."
---
Izuku stared at Shoto with a deadpan expression as he blocked his way to exit, for some reason, people are testing him today.
"Could you... repeat that?"
"I want you to go all out, don't hold back against me." Shoto repeated calmly, ignoring the looks the class was giving him.
"Is he an idiot?" Shinso whispered to Kirishima's ears.
"Must be." Kirishima replied, making the others nod in agreement.
"..." Even Bakugo stared speechlessly at Shoto.
'Go all out? Does this half n' half bastard have a death wish?'
"Impossible. You'll die at my hands if I went all out." Izuku replied calmly, eyes peering on Shoto.
"Plus, how do you expect me to go all out while you're using 50% of your power? Are you looking down on me?" Izuku added with a dangerous tone.
"I can fight just fine with my ice side." Shoto replied in an icy angry tone.
"Good luck with that." Izuku pushed past him with ease as he walked out, almost making him fall.
"..."
The classroom stared at Shoto speechlessly.
"He looks alright but he's a dummy." Asui shook her head and muttered to the girls.
"Tsui-san!" Momo whispered loudly.
"I mean if we're talking about looks~" Ashido smirked as she eyed Izuku's back.
The girls turned to Izuku and stared for a moment, Ochako smiled fondly.
"Huh? Oh my, my, what got you smiling like that, Uraraka-chan?~" Ashido whispered with a playful smirk.
"H-huh? What? I wasn't smiling!" She replied with a red face, shaking her hands hurriedly.
The girls laughed.
---
"Let me guess, all you miscreants came to see them, right?!?" Present Mic loudly declared, making the crowd cheer loudly.
"The department of heroics, freshman year..."
Izuku took the lead and walked into the stadium confidently leading his class forward.
"You're here for the rumored class 1-A, right!!?"
Izuku raised his hand and smiled as he walked into the cheering crowds, something that critically injured many women.
"Whoa... there's a lot of people..." Shinso shivered as he felt thousands of eyes on him, with hundreds of millions of people globally watching him from the cameras.
"Smile and wave boys, smile and wave." Izuku chuckled as he waved.
The class followed his actions nervously.
"Remember why we became heroes... to declare that we are here!" Izuku's words shook the class out of their stupor, their eyes sharpened as they followed their class-president.
"Let's go!"
"Yeah!" X16
