UA Sports Festival, The Festival Hall.

There are many rooms in that huge hall, and each class has its own hall.

Inside one of those rooms, where the students of class A-1 are located.

The atmosphere was full of tension while silence filled the place, everyone was trying to concentrate. Some of the students were sitting on chairs, while some were stretching their bodies in an attempt to overcome tension, and some were standing or leaning against the wall of the room.

What made the atmosphere more exciting and tense was the sound of the crowd in the stands, which was creeping into this room, which made the red-haired boy, Kirishima, say:

"It's very noisy in the stands..."

Mineta was feeling very nervous, to the point that he said after putting his hands on his head:

"Maybe I shouldn't have participated. The situation is more serious than I expected."

While some of the students were feeling nervous, Todoroki Shoto walked confidently towards Midoriya, who was standing in the middle of the room trying to focus, then he said to him in a calm tone;

"Midoriya..."

He only called him by name, but it attracted the attention of all the students around him, simply because Todoroki is a person of few words, and he would not talk like that unless if there is something important he wanted to say.

After Midoriya felt the strangeness of the situation, he responded calmly;

"Todoroki-kun, what's going on?"

Todoroki did not hesitate, and said boldly;

"Looking at it realistically, I'm better than you at everything."

Midoriya was a little surprised after hearing these words, the same thing for the students around him, as they were unable to understand the reason behind this conversation. Midoriya is currently considered the weakest person in the class because he is not good at using his ability, Todoroki is the strongest without the slightest doubt, these two are not on the same level at all.

As for Fulan, he is just a new student, he does not know anything about what is happening, he does not know who Midoriya is or who is the strongest here, so he seems somewhat like a strange person.

The place was quiet for a few seconds, then Todoroki added to his speech;

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"But 'All Might' prefers you for some reason..."

When Midoriya heard this phrase, he tried to hide his feeling of tension, and before saying anything, Todoroki added to his speech;

"I don't plan to stick my nose into what doesn't concern me, but I want to say one thing, which is that I will definitely defeat you."

The last phrase made the students understand that Todoroki is challenging Midoriya who is actually weaker than him, that's why Kirishima said with a smile;

"What what?? Is the strongest in the class announcing the challenge?"

Bakugo gritted his teeth after hearing these words, believing that he's the one who deserves to hear those words, meaning that the person who should challenge Todoroki is Bakugo, not Midoriya.

At that time, Fulan's gaze was fixed on Midoriya, who answered after a short silence;

"You're right, looking at it logically, I see that you are better than me in everything, and I can't even dream of having a chance to win against you."

The students did not expect that Midoriya would speak in such a low and belittling manner, especially Fulan, who had a wrong first impression about Midoriya. At the same time, Kirishima intervened and said in a calm tone:

"Wait, Midoriya, you don't have to talk so negatively__"

Immediately after Kirishima finished speaking, Midoriya added in a serious tone;

"But, students from other classes and other courses, everyone here wants to do their best to win, and I refuse to fall behind them..."

These words were proof that Midoriya had accepted the challenge set by Todoroki and that he would also try to defeat him. The thing that appealed to Fulan somewhat, thinking;

'For a moment I thought he was just a coward trying to evade the challenge, but he's a bit bold.'

Todoroki kept looking at Midoriya with a cold face, then he turned back and tried to walk away after announcing the challenge. At that same moment, Tenya Iida opened the door of the room, as he was outside that room and did not see what had happened, then he said;

"Guys, it's our turn."

When the students heard these words, adrenaline exploded in their veins and serious looks appeared on their faces. There is no longer a chance to retreat now, because everything has already begun.

The first one to move after Iida's words was Fulan, who put his hands in his pants pockets and walked calmly towards the door of the room.

All the students were looking at Fulan, including Iida. As Fulan passed by Iida without even looking at his face, while Iida was looking at Fulan's face, who seemed very calm.

After Fulan left the room, the students looked at each other, then Kirishima said after gently slapping his cheeks with his palms:

"What exactly am I worried about? It's the showtime!"

Kirishma started after Fulan, trying to catch up with him, and all the students started moving with determined looks on their faces.

After walking up the stairs and reaching the basement, Fulan and the class were able to see the bright light at the end of the corridor, as well as the majestic sound of the crowd creeping in from that gateway.

At that moment, Fulan clenched his fist slightly, because he too was feeling nervous like the rest of the students, thinking;

'All this noise, all this crowds, just to watch me? How can heroes and celebrities control their nervousness in such situations...'

The class finally put their feet out of the hallway, and they were all surprised to see thousands of people cheering at the top of their lungs, and their excitement even increased when commentator Yamada said in a loud voice;

"There they are! The ones who fought the evil alliance and came out alive! They are our stars for today! From the Hero Course, The Students Of Class 1-A!!"

*Yeeeeaaaaah!!!*

The crowd's screams rose and the atmosphere became tense for the students, to the point that swallowing their saliva began to become difficult. The UA Sport Festival has finally begun.
