A few long weeks later and it was finally the UA sports festival. When I woke up, Chi was in bed too, sleeping soundly. I got out of bed and got ready in my hero costume before leaving the bedroom and going to the front door to put my boots on and teleporting to Toshinori's place. He was going to spend the day with me like he had for the past years that I've worked at UA when it was the sports festival. Since I would sit up in the announcers booth with Aizawa and Yamada ever since I was still in school, it was now a normal thing to do.

Once I found myself at Toshi's front door, I knocked on the door, which he then answered it pretty quickly. When he opened it, I smiled as I said, "Well, I can tell that you're feeling pretty well today since you answered the door so fast."

He smiled, "Yeah, I am feeling way better than how I have been. It's probably because of the excitement of seeing the festival that gets my blood rushing and makes me feel better."

I chuckled, "Only if it was a weekly thing." I said before asking, "Well, are you ready?"

"Yep, just let me lock up first." he said as he began to walk out, which I moved to the side so he could walk out and lock the front door.

When he was finished with that, I teleported us to the school, which we happened to appear at the front doors of the school. "Dammit." I hissed to myself.

"It's quite alright, we can walk from here." he said as he began to walk through the door.

"Are you sure?" I asked as I followed behind him.

"Of course!" he said before he laughed a hearty laugh as if he was in his All Might form; something that hasn't been seen in years.

Once silence fell, I said, "I'm sorry that we have to be here so early."

"It's alright," he said with a smile still, "you have to be here early so things can get set up and perfect for the big event. I would come here earlier than this when I worked here."

"Yeah? Well, since everything is set up so far in advance now, there isn't much to do other than watching to make sure that someone who isn't supposed to be here isn't here." I said as we kept walking along. Since Toshi's slowed down quite a lot, he now walks slower, so we were going at his pace without rushing. It didn't matter since I wasn't really needed elsewhere on the campus.

As we turned a corner he asked, "Are the three of your kids excited to be participating?"

I chuckled, "I'm sure that you can guess who's excited and who's not."

He too chuckled, "Let's see...Ryushi and Rikka would be the ones who are excited while shy little Rin is the one who probably dreads this."

"Exactly." I stated. A little while later we made it to the announcers booth. "Well, I suppose I better go off and see if I'm needed anywhere to do finishing details."

"Alright, I'll be waiting here, probably taking a nap till then." he replied.

I chuckled, "Alright then, see you in a bit." I said before I walked off.

I walked down the hallway and asked pretty much anyone who I crossed paths with if they needed help with anything or if they knew anyone who did. As I kept wandering about the hallways and school grounds, I felt something pull on the back of my hero costume. I casually looked over my shoulder to see that it was Rini. Once I saw her, I turned around to face her.

"Hey there, what's up, Rin?" I said with a smile.

She tensed up her shoulders and began to play with the bottom of her shirt, "I don't want to participate."

"Why not? It'll be fun."

"B-but there's going t-to be s-so m-many people wa-watching." she stuttered.
