The New Teacher

The Sports Festival Begins

Before anyone knew it, the U.A Sports Festival was underway.

Dracula went out of his way to give the parents and guardians of the students reserved seats in the stadium, much to the appreciation of the students.

All the students were nervous, especially Midoriya. Despite being able to use 5% of One For All due to Dracula's teachings and understanding of his quirk, he still felt small compared to everyone else. It didn't help that Shoto Todoroki also declared war on Midoriya.

But Midoriya remembered what Dracula told them. It was something he took to heart during the two week training period before the Sports Festival.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Play to your strengths."

Everyone listened to Dracula as he stood at the front of the class.

"You will be like everyone else, unaware of everyone's quirk and skills. It will be up to you to determine how to fight everyone else. However, you all one thing everyone does not have. Experience."

Dracula's blood red eyes stared them all down. "You have all fought genuine villains and came out on top. This will be similar. So play to your strengths and adapt to your situations. Whatever that may be."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Before Midoriya and Class 1-A even realized it, they were outside on the stadium with the other classes. With millions of heroes watching their every move as they walked to a podium where the R-Rated Hero: Midnight stood in her skin tight costume and a nine tail whip in hand.

Dracula was found at the announcer's table with Present Mic sitting beside him.

"And here they come! The class that survived a genuine villain attack, give it up for Class 1-A!" The entire crowd went wild as they got a good look at the class.

"Following behind them is the Heroics Class 1-B! Along with the Support Classes C, D, E! The General Classes F, G, H! And finally, the Business Classes I, J, K!"

Dracula cocked an eyebrow at Present Mic "Aren't you a little biased?"

Yamada looked at him with a grin "Not at all, Bat Man!"

Dracula growled out "What was that?"

"ANYWAY! With the Sports Festival underway, allow me to introduce this year's Umpire, The R-rated Hero: Midnight!"

Midnight stood on the podium with a smirk as she spoke "Delivering our inspirational speech is Izuku Midoryia."

Said Green bean was absolutely shaking with wide eyes as if he was about to cry at any moment now. He made his way to the podium with shaky legs before standing beside the History teacher with a microphone given to him.

"Th-this may t-take a while. I-I'm not good at t-talking. B-but I just wanted to s-say..." Midoryia began before being silent as he took a deep breath with his eyes closed. Everyone inched forward to see what he was going to say. He opened his eyes and said with confidence.

"I'm not going to pledge to win. I'm not going to pledge for us to do our best. I'm not going to say all of that, because I don't believe it. No... I'm going to say how I feel."

Dracula couldn't help but let a smirk snake it's way onto his face. He certainly looked forward to what one of his best students was going to say.

All Might, in his deflated form, watched Midoriya with curiosity in what Midoryia was going to say.

Midoryia had a fire in his eyes as he said "When me and my class were attacked by a bunch of villains... I like everyone else, was afraid. But that's OK. Because being afraid means you have the ability to face that fear and come out on top. And that's what we did! We fought and survived! So I pledge this... League of Villains! Wherever you are, whoever you are! You made enemies of U.A! But worst of all... You made enemies of Class 1-A. We will find you and you will regret ever even thinking about attacking us! We will graduate and our first order of business... Will be taking you down! This isn't a threat... This is a promise!"

It was silent until the crowd absolutely went wild while Midoryia's class looked at the arguably most innocent and most precious green cinnamon roll with jaws to the floor and eyes wide as UFOs.

Kirishima and Tetsutetsu shouted in unison "OH MY GOD THAT IS SO GOD DAMN MANLY!!"

Present Mic stood up and shouted "NOW THAT'S A PLEDGE IF I'VE EVER HEARD ONE BEFORE!! THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE BEST SPORTS FESTIVALS IN U.A HISTORY!! LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING THESE KIDS??"

The last question was sent to Dracula as he watched Midoryia walk back down and be crowded by his classmates. He smirked as he answered "Only what is necessary."
