<Japan / UA / 12:05>
"WELCOME TO THE UA SPORTS FESTIVAL!" President Mic shouted announcing the start of the sports festival for civilians and heroes. When the doors of the gigantic stadium opened people quickly flooded it filling the seats in the blink of an eye.
The stadium although gigantic, was divided into three large areas, first year, second year and third year respectively, but most people were focused on UA's first year.
"Phew, at least we have a good spot..." Said the tired voice of a tall man with glasses and light brown hair, this was world-renowned scientist David Shield, former classmate of All Might and current Director of the artificial island I-Island.
"If I didn't get a seat I doubt I could forgive myself" Said the person next to him letting out a sigh of relief. This was none other than Winston Oxton also a famous scientist who has retired from the scientific community, or at least that's what it looks like to the eyes of the audience.
"Um... I've never seen this Sports Festival... it could be interesting, I'm curious to see your daughter in action" Said a tall woman with blonde hair as bright as the sun, in her voice there was a heavy German accent, this was Winston and David's new partner, Angela Ziegler. "So, when will the show start?"
"Angela, this is not a theater and the Festival should start in about 24 minutes according to the schedule" Replied Winston with a slight smile on his face. "Fufu, I need to take some pictures."

<Class 1A Break Room>
"Wah... what nerves..." Uraraka said while breathing slowly to calm her nerves. "We haven't even left yet and I feel like I'm already being watched..."
"Yeah, I feel like I'm going to explode from the tension" Said Tsu, who contrary to his comment seemed extremely calm.
"Okay! Let's give it our best!!!" Ashido shouted raising the spirits of the whole class and clearing everyone's nerves.
Suddenly Todoroki opened his eyes and they looked in a certain direction.
'Oxton...' He thought calmly, she would be a tough opponent to beat with her super speed. Not only was she a person Todoroki couldn't fully read due to her various antics. 'I'll prove to you that I'm the best...'
Looking away from Lena, Todoroki rolls his eyes at the sight of Midoriya talking to Uraraka and Lida trying to calm his nerves.
Midoriya might not be the strongest in the class but he had a good head on his shoulders, as well as possessing a very destructive Quirk which if you're not careful can defeat you in one hit.
But the most problematic thing is his stubbornness of not giving up for anything in the world, that is his best weapon and Todoroki knew it, he had seen him fight to the point of destroying his body in the team test.
Then he looked at his last target, the boy bomb.... Deidar- *ahem* Bakugo.
Although he had a bad temper and was very aggressive, no one could take away his merit of being a combat genius, the more time he spent fighting the faster he adapted to your fighting style and took you out using your own moves against you... not to mention how absurdly strong his Quirk is and his creativity in using it. Possibly his biggest weakness was his pride and self-confidence that could be used against him, but Todoroki couldn't be sure of this.
In Todoroki's head these are the strongest people in Class 1A, whether by wit, determination or their adaptability.
Nodding to himself he got up from his seat and walked to where his companions were which caught everyone's attention, for it is well known that Todoroki is not one to intentionally draw attention to himself.
Todoroki stood in front of Midoriya looking him straight in the eyes. Lettuce was trembling at the cold look on Todoroki's face, but still managed to blurt out a few words.
"W-what's wrong Todoroki?"
"I'm going to beat you..." Todoroki announced making the whole class frown. "I'll beat all of you..."
"Oi! Your opponent is me fucking half half!" Growled Bakugo as he approached Todoroki but Todoroki just ignored him. "Oi!"
"Objectively speaking, I think I'm much stronger than you... but somehow you managed to impress All Might.... I don't feel the need to meddle in that... but I will defeat you... that goes for you too, Oxton" Todoroki said coldly as he turned his gaze and watched Lena, who seemed to be strangely distracted looking at her own hand.
Lena looked up to meet Todoroki's gaze, clenching her fist tightly she looked at Todoroki with an amused smile.
"Then get ready, because I will sweep the floor with you again" Lena said as she walked over my kept her gaze fixed on Todoroki's with a smile. "I won't go easy on you this time..."
And with that the whole class realized one thing, everyone here is an enemy until the end of the festival.

"THE FIRST YEARS COME OUT!" Shouted President Mic announcing the arrival of the participants causing the stadium to go wild. "SAY HELLO TO THE UPCOMING PRO HERO STARS!!!"
"""WOAAAAH!!!"""" The whole stadium screamed with President Mic's announcement.
After that all the rookies slowly walked in, some nervous about the large amount of people watching them, some excited to experience the UA experience and some just waiting for the moment to stomp on each other.
"*Whistling* There sure are a lot of people, aren't there?" Kyoka said as she looked around the stands with zero excitement on her face. "I knew it was big but seeing it in person is something else."
"That means we're famous right?" Said Lena as she gave Kyoka a gentle push.
"Y-Yes" Kyoka replied half-heartedly, ignoring the fact that she had thousands of stares and cameras pointed at her at that very moment. "I guess we're the stars of the moment now..."
"Alright, rookies! I'm Midnight, the +18 heroine. A pleasure!" Midnight exclaimed as she sensually posed in different very suggestive poses that made all the kids' blood rush to their brains.
After Midnight's fanservice she proceeded to explain the rules of the Festival.
"Now the first year representative is going to give us a few words...it's none other than.... KATSUKI BAKUGO!" Midnight announced with a smile. "Come on stage!"
""WHAT?!"""" The whole class shouted in disbelief, they looked at Momo for an explanation but she simply shook her head just as shocked.
Undeterred by the screams of his classmates, Bakugo stepped onto the stage and looked briefly at all the students.
"I'm going to annihilate them" Bakugo announced as he rolled his eyes.
"""!!!""" Shouts of indignation, insults and curses fell upon Bakugo from one moment to the next. The latter didn't even flinch and kept a stoic face.
'This was going to be a long day...' Kyoka thought as she covered her face with her palms, at least Lena comforted her with a gentle hug. 'Let's just get this over with...'
