Void-Touched Veridian

Chapter 17

Hi Hi Hi! Guess what?

DUVIRI!!

It's been released, I'm going to be playing it for a while, getting things into place and reworking some things to fit better! BUT! I hope y'all enjoy this chapter! Tis a build up to the Sport's Festival! Anyways, the song above is The Ballad of Mona Lisa by Panic! At the Disco!

Sitting in class, Izuku avoided his classmates' pointed stares; he knew that they knew, that they knew of the monster that sat beside them, that ate with them and shared their learning space. It was a useless endeavour to try and sway their opinions, a masses opinion wouldn't change through words alone, no; it was action that changed opinions and words were often too lacking to change the dogmatic view of the public, of the people.

Breaking the silence, Kirishima spoke up, a tad hesitant.

"I wonder who's going to take over our homeroom? Aizawa Sensei isn't really... able to."

Before the red haired boy could even finish his sentence, however, the doors of the classroom smacked open and with the confidence of a normal and sane teacher, strolled in a bandaged Aizawa with crutches to make up his whole damaged image.

"Sir! You shouldn't be here! You're supposed to be healing!" Iida protested wildly, his arms cranking up and down rigidly.

"My health is irrelevant currently. I've come to bring some important news. In two months time, the Sports Festival will commence." The room plummeted into another uneasy silence before Yaoyorozu broke it, her calm voice gathering the attention of the room.

"Sir, is that wise? With the USJ and all the business that happened?" Suddenly, the entire class watched as their teacher slumped tiredly.

"Well, no. But, two months is the very latest we could push it to. The Commission wanted it next week. Luckily, we were able to convince them to push it back."

This time, even Izuku straightened up. He'd researched the Sports Festival, just to be ready for his enrolment at the academy, and what he found was something else; It was a truly spectacular event that became the new Olympics after they were disbanded by the UN during the dark ages.

The Festival was an entire month of different undertakings, split into three main sections for the year groups, and then further sub sections for the courses within those years. While the start of the Festival was a random selection of 3 tasks, mainly to show off the Hero course, there were other events to include the other courses too such as the U.A Expo, a type of science expo for the support course similar to I-Expo on I-Island.

Of course, for more entertainment, the Festival also included a genuine sports event similar to the original Olympics for all the courses. With swimming, long jump, track races, and more included, it was a shot of familiarity into the Sports Festival to allow for others to show that it wasn't the Hero Course that thrived under U.A, but all the courses.

The business course had the chance to meet big companies and their like at the U.A convention, to discuss, analyse and chat with CEOs of big companies, hero analysis corporations and trading companies.
