Ever since I met you, you have been constantly proving yourself as one of the most promising future heroes ever! Keep working hard and you are most certainly destined for greatness!"

"Thank you, All Might..." Shousuke mumbled quietly, only his godfather to hear. All Might was taken aback at this a little. Never in his life oh knowing Shousuke has he even heard the younger talk, but to that All Might wasn't happy would be a huge understatement.

"AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! THIS YEAR WINNERS! However, take heed folks! There is a possibility for everyone in this arena to stand there!! Just as you saw with your very own eyes, ladies and gentlemen! They competed and boosted each other up! Everyone climbing ever higher and advancing even farther!! The next generation of heroes will surely spout from the seeds planted this day!!"

All Might then raised his hands. "And to that statement, I will add one more thing! Everybody, please say it with me now-"

"THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK!"

"-PLUS ULTRA!

...

...

...

...

"All Might! That was a plus ultra moment!!"

"Oh, but I thought you'd appreciate a "thanks for your hard work!" Since you all looked like you worked hard....."

"And with that. The U.A. sports festival came to a close."

━━━━━━━━━━

"Good work everyone." Aizawa says. "Since you all earned a rest, there will be no school tomorrow or the next day you have off. I'm sure the pro heroes who watched the sports festival will want to request you, so I'll organize all the nominations from the pros and announce them when you get back. Be sure to get some rest even if your heart be pounding."

"Yes sir!"

"Do you have plans this week?" Midoriya questioned as he and Shousuke walked out of the classroom.

"I getting a new and free gaming console from Hawks... After that, I'm just going to rest as much as I can over the break." Shousuke stated.

Suddenly Shousuke heard someone call his name from behind. Both Him and Midoriya tensed around and were met with a furious-looking Katsuki making Midoriya tense while Shousuke didn't show in sight of reacting.

"Look, I'll accept that match of ours, you had the gut of going all out! But don't you go around thinking that you can surpass me, just because you beat me once! Komi!" He shouted then walked past both Midoriya and Shousuke.

Shousuke was taken back by Bakugo calling him by his last name, he had gotten used to being called grape juice. "Dose, that means I can call you, Kacchan?"

"No!"

"Katsuki then?"

"IN YOUR DREAMS, GREAP!"

Bakugo shouted as both Midoriya and Shousuke watched him walk off. "I'm glad you and Kacchan are getting along, in his way," Midoriya says as they start walking again. Shousuke only shrugged his shoulders at this. He wouldn't exactly call it getting along but this was now on stable grounds, so that's okay for him.
