As Hayato and Izuku were celebrating, more and more people were coming through the exit. While this was happening Katsuki was sulking over Izuku winning over him again, he just couldn't seem to get it into his head that Izuku wasn't the useless Deku anymore.

Iida came through the exit and seemed ashamed of himself, seeing he lost on an obstacle course do to with speed and his quirk is to do with speed.

Uraraka came up to Izuku and congratulated him and Hayato on getting first place. Izuku went red and tried to cover his face with his arms, while Hayato just thanked her for her support, he then clipped Izuku round the back of his head with a light hit while telling him to say thank you.

Izuku was speaking to Uraraka under Hayato's 'subtle' wingman advice and he was waiting for Toga and Kendo to stop staring at him.

"Hellooo? Anyone in there?" Hayato was waving his hands in front of their faces, while they were mumbling stuff. "...People are going to know how good Hayato is now...what are we gonna do now, Kendo?" was what Toga whispered and Kendo whispered back "Seems we have to...advance our plans..."

'Plans? Wait, what weird plans have they been thinking of?!'

Was what Hayato thought but he soon found out.

"Congratulations, Ha-ya-to~" Kendo spoke with the sweetest voice she could muster. Hayato felt like he ran the chance of getting diabetes from listening to her speaking like that. Hearing her calling his given name, Hayato felt his eye twitch. This was their plan, to rapidly get closer to him.

"Thanks, Kendo--" Hayato replied in a tired voice but before he could carry on, Kendo morphed her arms into her bigger, enhanced ones and started shaking Hayato by his shoulder's.

"Call.Me.Itsuka." was all she spoke, on repeat, with a deadpan expression. Toga was fidgeting with her hands and rolling her feet on the same spot on the floor, while Kendo was doing this. She seemed to be saying something, Hayato lip read it as "Call me Himiko."

'What's with this sudden advancement in our relationships?!'

After a few more minutes of this, Hayato agreed to call them their given names. In truth he knew why they wanted him to do it, it was because they liked him and honestly, he liked them but he wanted to focus on his hero training, but Hayato figured if they start advancing on him, he wouldn't stop it. What's teenage life without a bit of love?

The only problem was, which one would he pick. In the end, Hayato decided to try and find a loophole in the law on polygamy when he got back home later. Yeah, he'd surely do it.

After this random outburst of teenage life, Hayato and the now happy, Itsuka and Himiko, walked over to the group of people in front of Midnight-sensei.

"Now, the real fun begins. The chance to really move into the limelight!" Midnight-sensei spoke with a lot of passion, like All Might but this passion was slightly different and Hayato didn't know whether he should call the police or not as he saw Midnight-sensei lick her lips while looking in his and Izuku's direction.

The screen showed the slot machine spinning again "Let's see what we have in store for you next! Prepare yourself, for this--!" She pointed her whip up at the screen and the screen landed on something Hayato didn't expect.

The screen said "Hero Tag!".

"Allow me to explain! Each person will be given 4 discs to put on their uniform and a special device that will endlessly make these balls for you." She showed the classes a red ball, probably the size of a baseball "The aim of the game is to hit the opponents discs and gain points by hitting their discs, each disc is worth 2 points and they can be hit as many times as possible."

"Each of the balls will have a specific signal to the ball maker that makes them and each student will have a unique one. So when a ball hits a disc, the disc keeps the signal, allowing us to know which student hit it!"

Everyone was muttering stuff. Some people were happy it was this because their quirk would help a lot. Some were nervous because their quirk didn't seem to be able to help them. Hayato was the former, while Izuku was the latter.

"But don't get so happy yet. The discs must be in sight at all times, you can block a ball that's thrown with your quirk but you can't constantly cover the disc with your quirk. So those of you who thought of doing that, tough luck!~" Midnight-sensei seemed to enjoy how most of the people who were happy, were now downtrodden. Hayato really wanted to call All Might to get her off stage.

"Oh, and each of you will be given a tracker map that you can wear on your wrist. Well, everyone other than Tagami Hayato and Midoriya Izuku because they're the reason the tracker map is being given out!"

Izuku seemed shocked, which made Midnight-sensei happy but she seemed disappointed that Hayato seemed to be excited by the challenge.

"Because their discs are all worth 100 points! They will be constantly tracked and their position will be given out to all of you! So, farm as many points as you want!"

Every one of the students started looking at Hayato and Izuku like thirsty people in a desert who'd just found a few bottles of water.

Hayato looked over to Izuku who was worrying and mumbling about it all. Hayato knew this was because he was still pretty much quirkless, he wouldn't be able to dodge most of the attacks thrown at him. That's why Hayato decided to do some fun.

He lazily put his hand in the air "Midnight-sensei, may I make a request?" Midnight sensei motioned for him to continue but she felt uneasy looking at him confident smile. "Can you just make it so I'm the one everyone will be focusing on and being tracked? It'll be a lot more fun for everyone watching and well, it'll be much more challenging and exciting for me!"

Midnight-sensei seemed shocked by his request "Why would want to do that?" she spoke in astoundment as she looked at Hayato. "Well, I want everyone to come at me. Simple as that. I want a challenge and I want to see how far I can go. I want to find my limits and then pass them. Is that a good enough reason, Midnight-sensei?~" He spoke with confidence and a momentum that seemed unstoppable.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Midnight-sensei seemed to be mumbling about how Hayato was an interesting brat but nonetheless, she agreed to his request. Izuku looked at Hayato with both a thankful look on his face and a worried one. Hayato put his thumbs up to Izuku to show that he'd be fine and to stop him from worrying.

Soon after all this, everyone got their 4 discs and Hayato had a tracker put in all of his. To make it slightly fairer, Hayato was allowed to enter the Urban battleground and set up wherever he wanted.

Even if they knew where he was, if he picked a smart enough place, he'd be able to keep himself safe and defend against most of the people coming for him.

Hayato put his 4 discs on his body, one on each of his arms and 2 on his chest.

After he was happy with his placement of the discs, Hayato activated his quirk and sped off into the Urban City. It didn't take long before he got there.

He started to think about where he was going to hold off against everyone who was going to come for him. He knew for a fact that only the strong were going to come for him, the rumors about him fighting the Nomu would scare off any who were considered weak. So he wouldn't have to deal with as many as people would think.

He knew some people who could definitely give him a run for his money though and this is why he needed to prepare himself. But still, he wanted a challenge.

'Let's show them some confidence.'

After saying this, he found a massive piece of clear land, no buildings, just concrete flooring and a water fountain in the middle, with some benches here and there. Overall it looked quite beautiful.

Hayato showed off his confidence by sitting next to the water fountain and looking at the sky. He may have seemed arrogant but in truth, he wanted to beat his opponents without tricks and in head-on combat. That's how Hayato was; Straightforward.

Everyone in the stadium looked at the screens with their mouths agape. This kid was just waiting for everyone to come at him and he didn't seem nervous, in fact, he seemed to radiate more and more confidence as time went on. All Might started laughing while clapping his hands "That's the way Young Tagami! No tricks, just fighting! HAHAHA!" was all he said with his booming voice.

All the students felt that Hayato was looking down on them, especially Katsuki and Todoroki. But Izuku spoke in defense of Hayato, to those of class 1-A who were angry with his cocky attitude. "Hacchan's always been like this, all he wants is a good fight. He's not looking down on anyone, in fact, he's giving everyone a chance no matter their strength to fight him. This is actually quite respectful from Hacchan's perspective."

After everyone thought about it, it did seem respectful of Hayato to give everyone a chance.

And it was true. While Hayato knew that the weaker people might be scared off by his strength, he hoped that they could try their best and give him a challenging battle. Hayato only wanted to protect those who can't protect themselves and to have plenty of good fights. He had simple needs.

Midnight-sensei soon told everyone to make their way to the Urban City. When they got there, they all put on their discs in different places and got ready to enter the city.

They would all be given 10 minutes to get into a position where they felt comfortable with and then they'd be able to go looking for people to get points from. Only the top 16 in terms of points would make it through to the final of the sports festival.

Everyone entered the urban city and went to their positions. Hayato was doing stretches while he waited for the big battle to begin.

"BEGIN!"

Suddenly a booming voice said for them to go. Quickly people started popping up to get to Hayato but he just sat there and let them come out. There were only 3 people at the minute but Hayato knew there'd soon be more.

These people were from class 1-B. He knew one of them was Monoma Neito, with his quirk "Copy" which let him copy a quirk for 5 minutes. The other two were Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and Bondo Kojiro.

"Well, looky here, it's the star of class 1-A. You're a really arrogant guy, you know that right?" Monoma spoke with clear disdain for Hayato. Hayato knew why, it was because he didn't really like anyone in class 1-A, especially someone like Hayato who stood out.

Hayato didn't reply, he just stood up. Monoma seemed visibly angry at Hayato's silence.

"Let's just get this over with, you salty bastard." Was all Hayato said before he charged at them.

Monoma hurriedly used his Copy quirk on Tetsutetsu and used his quirk Steel. Him and Tetsutetsu, both in their steel forms, ran to meet Hayato's charge while Bondo got ready to use his quirk to trap Hayato when the time came.

What none of them expected was for Hayato to dodge past them and aim for Bondo. Bondo panicked and blasted glue, through his quirk, at Hayato but Hayato just jumped over it and sent muscle fiber wires into the ground to bring him down with unbelievable speed.

When he was in front of Bondo, Hayato quickly threw four balls at his discs, gaining 8 points before he kicked him away into a bush.

Before Hayato could react 3 balls came out of nowhere as if him hitting Bondo had sparked a war.

Quickly, Hayato expertly used two muscle fiber wires to knock away the incoming balls. He didn't know where they were coming from so he turned to Monoma and Tetsutetsu and charged at them. The two of them had already had this idea and were halfway towards him.

Hayato wanted to see how hard they hit so he let them charge into him, but he kept wary of them pulling out any balls.

*BANG!*

"Well, that's slightly disappointing." was all Hayato said before he blasted them back, not forgetting to throw 2 balls at them each, scoring himself another 8 points. Their combined attack force hardly hurt him, after the Nomu, most attacks didn't seem that bad. He made sure to hit them both with enough force to knock them out but they were still up.

Monoma told Tetsutetsu to go off and get some points for himself, as surprisingly he was the worst affected by the punch.

"Quite an interesting quirk you have, Tagami-san." Monoma spoke with his usual smug smile on his face. Monoma charged at Hayato with speed unlike before, Hayato guessed that he'd copied his quirk. Well, exactly how he wanted him to anyway.

When Monoma appeared in front of Hayato again he had a bulkier muscle form than what Hayato usually had, that was because Muscle Augmentation was the only quirk he was born with, everything else is from his body and Monoma can't copy that. So in the end, he only got part of the whole package and Hayato was going to enjoy showing him that.

Hayato threw a left hook right into Monoma's chin, sending in spiraling mid-air towards a bench near them, but Hayato interfered and slammed him into the floor before getting a ball from his box and tapping each disc slowly while he held Monoma's head against the ground.

'If he wants to treat us like pricks, I guess I can play the part.'

After that, Hayato threw him as hard as he could into a far-off building. Hayato didn't worry about him dying, the quirk's he copied should keep him alive.

After this little show, most of the people lying in waiting hesitated. Hayato didn't only look strong, he was strong. He dealt with some decently powerful people as if they were all toddlers who couldn't quite control their body's right.

In the stadium, the crowd was going wild at this display of fighting prowess.

"There you go folks, the kid who took down 3 giant robots with one punch and defeated a strong villain on his own, this kids fighting talent is 100% real!" was all Present Mic shouted after seeing this fight.

Hayato went back over to the water fountain and sat next to it, looking up at the sky again. He could hear people whispering and moving about not too far from him with his enhanced senses but he just sat still, like a king who waited for his subjects to come to him not the other way around.

Hayato knew that it was all just getting started.
