"Are you crazyy!?" Jirou and I exclaimed back with blushes and my flames subconsciously dissipated leaving the two boys sighing in relief but not without a hole each in their backs that they tried covering up. Honestly, they deserved it.

I can deal with wearing them, but rolling with it? Cheer actively like those cheerleaders? I just can't do it! It's too embarrassing!

Toru is so free being invisible and all.

"Wow Toru, you've got some skills." Tsu commented.

It's cute how Jirou's earphone jacks also react with her whenever she gets flustered, they suddenly pop up stiffly near her face.

Present Mic announced that there'll be one on one matches after the recreational games for the 16 finalists.

"Ah yeah, we finally get to show what we're made of, I watched these finals every year and now I'm actually in them" -Kirishima

"So wait, is it always a tournament?" -Mina

"The finals are always a one on one competition but they switch it up every time. Last year it was a foam sword fighting match" -Sero

Midnight announced the drawing of lots for our competition and those who wanted to stay back for the side games could do so, while holding a yellow box that said 'Lots' on it and headed to our side when she was interrupted.

"Um, excuse me, sorry but I'm withdrawing" Ojiro said raising his hand.

All of us looked at him in surprise, why was he doing this? Wait, wasn't he in Toshi's team? I look over at Toshi who was looking elsewhere with a nonchalant expression.

"Ojiro, no way" -Izu

"But this is a rare chance for you to get scouted" -Iida

"It just wouldn't be right, I barely remember anything from the cavalry battle until the very end of it" he said tensely, I'm sure he didn't like it either but he felt obligated.

Izu gasped lightly.

"I think it was that guy's quirk" Ojiro said, "I know this is a great opportunity, I wish I could take advantage of it but my conscience won't let me" he clenched his fist.

"Think about this" Izu tried to appeal to him.

"I know ok? Everyone gave their all in round 2 and I was just someone's puppet, no way, I don't want to advance if I don't even know how I got here. It wouldn't be fair" -Ojiro

"You're making too much of this, just kill it in the finals and prove that you should be here" Toru waved her pompoms.

"Yeah, what she said, I didn't do much of a battle either" Mina agreed with her and tried to convince him.

He covered his face with his hand, "That's not it, I'm talking about my pride. I refuse to give that up... Also why are all the girls dressed up like cheerleaders."

All of us flinched with dreadful expressions, "Don't say it" I said looking to the other side, for a moment and then looked back at Ojiro with a conflicted expression. I was in no position to say anything to him right now.

I didn't stop Toshi from controlling their minds even though I knew the conseqences which I simply warned him about.

"Nirengeki Shoda from class 1-B, I think I should withdraw for the exact same reason, regardless of how strong I am, this isn't how I wanted to get here" a short boy with cropped cerulean hair and round eyes said, "it would go against the values of the festival to advance without earning my spot"

Kirishima clenched his fists with tears lining his eyes, "Listen to these guys, they're so manlyy!"

"WELL THEN HERE'S ANOTHER TURN OF EVENTS"
