The golden haired hero SAYIANMAN

Chapter 7

Midoriya was taken from the stadium to heal, as Todoroki's explosion did a number on him. Although his right arm was broken, the remainder of his body was okay with the exception of some bruises here and there. He lied his head back, resting his body, until he heard the door open and close.

"That was really something, kid." All Might told him before taking a seat. "Even if you lost, you still displayed an incredible resolve, and you put One For All to good use. I'm proud of you, Midoriya. It makes me rest easy knowing that you're the next Symbol of Peace." He praised as he let out a sigh.

His words brought tears to Izuku's eyes, but not the normal set of waterworks he'd splash out at a moment's notice. In the last year, Midoriya has matured thanks to All Might and Gohan.

The two made their way back to their seats to watch the next fight. Midoriya sat down next to Uraraka as the girl from Class 1–B seemed to vanish and reappear above Gohan, slamming her leg down on his arm before using the momentum to push herself back. Dammit! She thought to herself, making her anger apparent with a glare. What the hell is he, a moving brick wall!? Could that be his Quirk? Can he harden himself like Tetsutetsu? It can't be, Present Mic would have announced it in the race! Why is he just standing there!? Is he looking down on me! "How dare you, asshole!" She yelled before lunging. Much like Bakugo, she was short-tempered and foul-mouthed, but she wouldn't ever let anyone think less of her because she's Quirkless.

She had unleashed a furious barrage of punches and kicks on Gohan, who easily blocked them all before putting an open hand up to her chest and propelling her out of bounds with his Ki. "Videl is out of bounds, Gohan advances to the third round!" Midnight announced.

"YEAH! MY HUSBAND BEAT ME LIKE THAT YEARS AGO! THAT'S MY GOHAN!" ChiChi yelled above the crowd.

The next two rounds proceeded with expected results. It was time for the semi-final matches. The two fighters walked out onto the arena as Present Mic hyped up their entrance. "The first match of the semi-finals! Both of these young heroes-in-the-making have been on the front lines for the whole Sports Festival with incredible displays of power, but who will emerge on top!? Is it going to be Gohan Son from Class 1-A, or his classmate Shoto Todoroki!?"

It was seconds of waiting, seconds that felt like an eternity to the crowd. The moment the match started, Todoroki unleashed an ice barrage, and it seemed to bury Gohan. However, everyone watched in amazement as Gohan appeared behind Todoroki and pat him on the back, before vanishing to dodge his backhand. "I'm sorry, Todoroki, but you will never catch me." He told him as he pat him on the head. Todoroki stomped his foot and unleashed a wave of ice in all directions.

"It looks like to stop Gohan's game of tag, Todoroki filled the stage with ice!" He heard. "Although I guess it makes sense that it would have no affect when you can fly!" Upon hearing this, Todoroki looked above him and his eyes became cold and focused. As the Saiyan sunk like a stone, he unleashed ice into the air, but just before the ice met him, he vanished and appeared behind Todoroki, grabbing him by the collar and throwing him into the air before reappearing once again above him to kick him into the ground outside of the arena.

"Todoroki is out of bounds! Gohan wins and advances to the final round!" Midnight announced, whipping in Gohan's direction.

Bakugo had finished his round easily, and now kicked open the door to his waiting room. "That dumbass! If he tries to make a fool out of me, I'll kill him!" He angrily yelled before realizing that Gohan was sitting in front of him.

"Hey, Katsuki! You came to wait with me before our match!" Gohan said, letting off a warm smile.

"What the hell are you doing in my waiting room!?" he yelled before looking at the sign. "Crap, this is waiting room two?! Well, I guess it doesn't matter. You heard what I said, wonderboy. If you play around and avoid using your full strength, I'll kill you!" he said, slamming his fist on the table, creating an explosion.
