As morning came, I went to school. Because of the USJ attack, security was strict in the U.S., and thanks to that, the media wasn't present. I didn't wait for Momo this time.
As I reached the class, I saw that Shoto was way earlier than me today. As soon as I sat down, he said, "Kageyama, were you the one who saved 13 and other's?"
"Yeah. I kind of did that. Why?"
"Well, I was aiming to be the top of the class, just like Touya-nii has been. On the first day, even though you came in first of the Quirk assessment, I only thought that I would have to watch out of Bakugo. But yesterday's fight has opened my eye's. Now I know that I have one more person to surpass to be the top of the class."
"Uhh. Man, you are very serious, huh?"
"Yes."
"Look, man, you can do whatever you want; I'll be there as a rival for you so you can work hard. How about that?"
"Fair enough."
"Now on to a serious matter..." I looked dead in his eye's, put on a serious face, and said, "Call me Haruto from now on."
"..."
"Got it?"
"Yeah."
Then there was silence. Some time later, Momo. came and sat in her seat.
She just looked at me for some time and sighed.
Then the class started to fill up slowly. Denki was alright now after his brain short circuit.
"Hey, did you watch the news last night?" Toru started.
"Yeah," Ojiro replied.
"Did you see how everyone in class was on screen for a second? I didn't stand out at all." Toru sighed. "That's true." Mezo said.
"It's hard to stand out looking like that, huh?" Ojiro, looking at Toru, said.
"But man, all the channels made a big deal out of it." Denki spoke after hearing Toru.
"I was surprised," Kirishima said.
"Can you blame them? The hero course that keeps pumping out pro heroes was attacked." Kyouka replied to Denki.
Then Hanta spoke, "Who knows what would have happened if the teachers hadn't come when they did?"
Suddenly Iida "Everyone! Morning homeroom is about to start! Stop talking and take your seats!"
"We're already in our seats." Denki said
"You are the only one who's not seated." Kirishima mocked him.
Hearing this, Iida just sat at his seat. As soon as the bell rang, Aizawa opened the door and said, "Good morning."
"Morning sensei."
He looked at all of us, making sure that we were all present, then he said, "For your information, the fight is not over yet."
When the students heard that, they thought villains were coming after them. But to their luck, Aizawa said, "The U.A. sports festival is drawing near."
"That's a super normal school event." Before Kirishima could finish, Denki covered his mouth and said, "Wait!"
Kyouka spoke at that gap: "Is it okay to have a sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?"
"What if they attack us again or something?" Ojiro said right after Kyouka.
"Apparently they think of it as the U.S. showing that our crisis management system is solid as a rock by holding the event. Security will also be strengthened five times over the past year. Above all, our sports festival is a huge chance. It's not an event to be cancelled because of a few villains.
Our sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events. In the past, the Olympics were called a festival of sports, and the whole country was crazy about them. As you know, with reductions in scale and population, they are now a shell of their former glory.
And now in Japan, what has taken the place of those Olympics is the U.A. sports festival."
"Of course, all the top heroes around the country will be watching. For scouting purposes." She said the last part with passion.
"Of course, joining a famous hero agency will get you more experience and popularity.
Time is limited.
If you expect to go pro, then the path to your future will open up at this event.
One chance a year, a total of three chances.
No aspiring hero can afford to miss this event.
If you understand that, then don't slack off on your preparation."
"Yes sir."
"Homeroom is dismissed."
----------------------------------------
As lunch time arrived, Kirishima started to celebrate, thanking the U.S. for giving him a chance.
Tokoyomi, Todoroki, and I went to the cafeteria as soon as the bell rang. We're like a trio gang now; to be exact, me, Tokoyomi, Todoroki, and Momo are a gang. But since she's the class president, she has work to do.
After taking lunch, we went to our usual place to sit, at a corner. As we sat down, Shoto asked me, "Hey, do you think that I can make my ice move like your feathers?"
"I think you can. Look, snow is part ice, right?"
"Yes."
"So try to make snow from your ice. Then maybe you could; I don't know, man, it's still up to your luck."
"Mmm, that's a good idea."
"How about here?" Tokoyomi asked me.
Looking at him, I said, "Try making dark shadow cover you like a suit. Another thing is, why don't you try to make weapons with dark shadow."
"How?"
"Call him out and say as I say word to word."
"Alright." Saying that Tokoyomi brought out a dark shadow, seeing me and Todoroki, he waved at us with his hand.
I started to say, and Tokoyomi said to Dark Shadow, "Cover my hand with your hand."
He did as I said, so I continued, "Turn into a sword."
Dark shadow tried and tried, but he couldn't do it so he retracted from Tokoyomi's hand and looked at me.
Thinking a bit, I looked at dark shadow and said, "Do as I do on Tokoyomi. Okay?"
Dark shadow nodded his head.
As I got confirmation, I raised my hand and formed an armor similar to the one Shadow Monarch uses, his shadow armor. But I can only produce the gauntlet now. Seeing this dark shadow also happened with his hand on Tokoyomi. After that, I made the gauntlet slowly transform into a katana. Dark shadow observed the katana for some time and tried to imitate it.
A couple of days later, dark shadow was able to create a small katana. Seeing this, I said, "Thats how you do it. If you practice it enough, you can make it instantly."
"Thanks man."
"And Shoto, you can also make weapons out of fire and ice. Think about it: a fire sword in your left hand and an ice shield or ice sword in your right hand. That would be cool." I said that to Shoto with much enthusiasm. Then I thought, 'If they are can get strong from this point on, it'll be alright even if the butterfly effect make the changes drastically.'
After eating lunch, we went back to class.
----------------------------------------
After the classes finished, everyone was preparing to go home. As Ochoko opened the door, outside it was packed with the students of other classes. As she saw this, she asked, "What's going on?" Not getting any reply from them, Iida spoke, "What business do you have with class A?"
Surprising Iida his question was answered by Bakugo "Scouting out the enemy. We are the one's who made it out if the villains attack. They probably want to check us out before the sports festival." As he reached in front of them, he looked at them menacingly and said, "There's no point in doing stuff like that. Out of my way, extras!"
"I came to see what the famous class A was like, but you seem pretty arrogant. Are all the students in the hero course like this?.... " As he was about to continue a voice interrupted him.
"Excuse me, please move aside. I need to go now." When he heard that, he steeped back and let three students pass by him. Looking at the students who went, the students of Class A was dumbfounded, even Bakugo.
"Anyway, as I was saying. I don't think you know. But there's a scheme that allows other class students to be promoted to the hero class and vice versa if they do well in the sports festival. I don't know about the other's who have gathered here, but I'm here as a declaration of war." Saying that he was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped and looked into class A and said, "If you are here, I hope you heard what I said."
"Who are you talking to too?" Denki asked, confused.
"The one who helped Eraser Head defeat a villain."
"Ahh, if you are looking for Kageyama, he left after politely asking you." Kyouka said that with suppressing her laugh, while Denki just lost it after knowing he was looking for Haruto.
Hearing her reply, he looked at the back of the student, who was at the end of the hallway. As he looked at his back, without even turning around, Haruto waved his hand to him.
