Inko: It shouldn't have to be...

Izuku still couldn't believe they had actually done it! They'd gotten Shinso into the one on one rounds, which meant that they were one step closer to getting him into the hero course. All the training they'd done was paying off and they were now in the perfect situation for Hitoshi to really show the teachers that he deserved that spot!

Everyone was silent for a moment as they looked at the lineup.

Uraraka: It should definitely be different from ours right?

Kendo: Yeah since different teams managed to make it in this time.

"I'm fighting Pony Tsunotori..." Hitoshi muttered quietly... "She was on the team we took control of, right?"

"Yep!" Izuku said happily. "That'll be an interesting match. She's an exchange student, so the language barrier might make using your quirk more interesting. We haven't experimented with other languages yet, have we?"

Tsunotori: Oh... I lost right?

Shinso: Yeah you're definitely doomed.

"Nope!" Mei piped up. "But if worse comes to worst, he can always use my babies!"

"Wonderful." Hitoshi grumbled. "Who have you got, Midoriya?"

Midoriya started as he suddenly realized that he was going onto the one on one fights as well. Somehow, he'd been so focused on getting Hitoshi into the third round that he'd completely forgotten that being on the same team meant that he'd made it as well. He frantically searched the screen for his name, crossing his fingers that he wouldn't have to face Katsuki right off the bat.

Midoriya(wincing): Yeah that would be bad.

"Umm, where...? Mina Ashido! Acid quirk." Izuku grimaced. "At least it won't be boiling this time..."

"Yeah, that sucked!" Mei said, tugging at one of the bandages on her arm. "Izu-kun! What's Monoma's quirk again?"

"Oh, his is a lot of fun!" Izuku grinned. "He has a copy quirk. I think he can copy up to three people's quirks at the same time? There's really no way to know who's quirks he's copied until you fight him though."

Iida: I feel so sorry for Monoma...

"Perfect!" Mei's eyes narrowed in on Monoma from across the crowd. "He'll be the perfect demonstration of how adaptable my babies are!!!"

"I don't know whether to pity him or just laugh." Hitoshi said, amused. "Oof, Uraraka's strong, right?"

Mic: She's just going to toy with him the whole time isn't she?

Power Loader: Mm-hm.

"Yeah, she really is!" Izuku answered. "Why?"

"Because you better hope she wins her fight." Hitoshi pointed at the brackets. "Otherwise you're going to be up against Bakugo in the next round."

Everyone: Uh oh.

Uraraka: Yikes I'm going to lose aren't I...?

Bakugo: Yup.

Izuku gulped and glanced over to where Katsuki was surrounded by his team from the cavalry battle. Kirishima was patting him on the back, but Izuku could feel his anger from all the way across the field. Katsuki had always been the best, ever since Izuku could remember, so it must be eating at him that he hadn't gotten first in either of the first two rounds and it must hurt even worse that he was beaten by Izuku of all people. He wanted to feel guilty about that. Years of standing in Katsuki's shadow had primed him to believe that if he wasn't helping his best friend, being a stepping stone on his way to greatness, then he was nothing. If he wasn't helping Katsuki be the best, then he really was the useless deku that everyone told him that he was.
