The door to the control room slid open, and Izuku, Nezuko, Iida, and Bakugo entered. The air was heavy with mixed emotions—victory, frustration, and self-reflection. The other students, who had been watching the battle unfold on the monitors, turned their attention to the group. All Might {booming cheerfully}: "Welcome back, young heroes and villains! That was quite the thrilling first match!" Nezuko stood quietly next to Izuku, her soft gaze steady and calm. Bakugo, however, stomped to the corner of the room, his explosions already crackling faintly as he muttered to himself. Iida adjusted his glasses, his face a picture of introspection as he mulled over what had gone wrong. All Might {clapping his hands}: "Now, let's talk about the MVP of this trial. A hero—or villain in this case—who went above and beyond, demonstrating exceptional skill, strategy, and leadership. So, who do you think it was?" The room fell silent for a moment. The students glanced at each other, uncertain. Finally, Momo Yaoyorozu stepped forward, her demeanor calm and confident. Momo {raising her hand slightly}: "If I may, All Might, the MVP was undoubtedly Midoriya." The room erupted into murmurs. Some students nodded in agreement, while others looked surprised. Bakugo growled from the corner, his fists clenched. Bakugo {snarling}: "What? That damn nerd?!" Momo {ignoring Bakugo, speaking clearly}: "Allow me to explain." The murmurs quieted as the class turned their attention to Momo. She gestured toward the monitor, where the footage of the trial was paused at a key moment: Izuku standing calmly in the shadows, observing his opponents. Momo {analyzing}: "From the very beginning, Midoriya demonstrated a deep understanding of his and Kamado's strengths and weaknesses. He developed a plan that maximized Kamado's Quirk, allowing her to trap and isolate Iida while maintaining control of the area around the bomb. His placement of the bomb was strategic, creating a clear defensive advantage." She pressed a button on the control panel, rewinding to a moment where Bakugo was trapped by Izuku's Rivet Stab barrier. Momo {continuing}: "Additionally, Midoriya anticipated Bakugo's impulsiveness and used it against him. The barrier he created didn't just slow Bakugo down; it forced him into a single path, which allowed Midoriya to focus on Iida without distraction." She moved to another moment in the footage, where Nezuko's flames cornered Iida. Momo {concluding}: "Most importantly, he trusted his teammate. By allowing Kamado to execute her part of the plan independently, he ensured their victory. His ability to remain calm under pressure, think several steps ahead, and delegate effectively makes him the clear MVP of this trial." The room was silent for a moment as her words sank in. Even All Might seemed impressed, nodding thoughtfully. All Might {grinning}: "Well said, Yaoyorozu! And I agree—Midoriya's leadership and strategy were exceptional. He truly showed the qualities of a hero... or in this case, a very effective villain!" The class clapped lightly, though Bakugo scowled in the corner, his pride clearly bruised. Izuku, however, remained composed, his sharp blue eyes watching the reactions of his classmates. Izuku {calmly, nodding to Momo}: "Thank you, Yaoyorozu. I appreciate your analysis." Nezuko {holding up her notebook, smiling softly}: "He really was amazing." All Might {clapping his hands again}: "Alright, young heroes! Let's learn from this and take it into the next trial. That's what being a hero is all about—analyzing, improving, and working together. Now, let's move on to the next team!" As the group moved to the observation area, Izuku quietly took a seat beside Nezuko, his mind already analyzing the next challenge. Momo's words echoed faintly in his thoughts, but he dismissed them. The result was secondary to him—what mattered was that the plan worked, and Nezuko had performed flawlessly. For him, that was victory enough. [Transition] The day's battle trials had finally come to an end. The members of Class 1-A gathered near the exit of Ground B, still buzzing with excitement, frustration, and camaraderie. All Might, as usual, made a dramatic exit, disappearing in a blur of speed after delivering some closing remarks. All Might {booming, before vanishing}: "Great work, everyone! Remember: there's always room for improvement! Keep pushing forward, young heroes!" Denki Kaminari {grinning, watching All Might disappear}: "Man, he's so cool!" The group made their way back to the locker rooms to change out of their hero costumes. Izuku walked quietly at the back, his expression neutral as he mentally reviewed the day's events. Nezuko stayed close to him, her quiet presence a stark contrast to the lively chatter of their classmates. [Transition] Class 1A exists their locker rooms and made their way to the dorm. Mina Ashido {excitedly}: "That was so fun! Even though my team lost, I learned a ton! We should celebrate!" Ochaco Uraraka {smiling}: "Celebrate how?" Mina {grinning widely}: "Movie night! We can use the common room in the dorms. It'll be awesome!" The idea sparked a wave of agreement from most of the class. Eijiro Kirishima {grinning}: "That sounds manly! I'm in!" Tenya Iida {adjusting his glasses}: "I suppose it would be a good way to unwind after a day of hard work. Very well, I'll allow it." Shoto Todoroki {calmly}: "I don't mind." As they exited the locker rooms and headed back to the dorms, Mina turned to Izuku, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Mina {teasingly}: "What about you, Midoriya? You've gotta join us! It won't be the same without the MVP!" Izuku shook his head, his tone calm but firm. Izuku {bluntly}: "No, thank you. I have other things I need to do." The group groaned in disappointment, but before anyone could protest further, Nezuko stepped forward. Her pink eyes met Izuku's, and she tilted her head slightly. Without saying a word, she clasped her hands together and gave him the most pleading puppy-dog eyes anyone had ever seen. Izuku froze, caught completely off guard. The intensity of her silent plea was almost overwhelming. Izuku {sighing softly after a pause}: "...Fine. I'll stay." The group erupted in cheers, and Nezuko smiled brightly, clapping her hands in delight. She quickly scribbled on her notebook and showed it to him: "Thank you!" [Transition] Back in the dorm common room, the students gathered on the large sofas and beanbags, arranging snacks and blankets as Mina scrolled through the streaming options on the TV. Mina {grinning}: "Okay, people, what are we watching? Action? Comedy? Horror?" Denki Kaminari {excitedly}: "Horror! Let's do horror!" Mina {laughing}: "Alright, horror it is! Hope you're ready to scream!" As the movie started, Izuku sat quietly on one of the sofas, slightly removed from the group. Nezuko, however, plopped down next to him. She held a small bowl of popcorn and offered it to him with a smile. Nezuko {holding up her notebook with one hand}: "Let's enjoy it together!" Izuku glanced at her, then at the popcorn, before giving her a small nod and taking a handful. Though he wasn't particularly fond of group activities, her enthusiasm and mere presence made it tolerable. As the movie played, the room filled with screams, laughter, and the occasional loud comment from Kaminari or Mina. Despite himself, Izuku found the atmosphere... pleasant. [Transition] The horror movie had ended, and the room was still filled with lingering excitement and chatter. Some of the students were sprawled on the couches, while others were munching on the leftover popcorn. Mina Ashido leaned back against the sofa, grinning ear to ear. Mina Ashido {excitedly}: "Man, that was so good! The twists, the pacing—it kept me on edge the whole time! Movies like that remind me of how amazing Mr. Ōru Fō Wan's films are. They're, like, the best!" Denki Kaminari {nodding in agreement}: "Totally! His dramas and thrillers are insane. Every movie he writes feels so real, like he understands people better than anyone else." Ochaco Uraraka {smiling brightly}: "Yeah, and the characters always feel so alive! He's such a genius writer." The group began enthusiastically discussing their favorite films by the mysterious writer, sharing which ones had impacted them the most. Nezuko tilted her head curiously, looking at Izuku as if to gauge his thoughts. Izuku {calmly}: "They're tolerable, but they still lack in certain areas." The room fell silent for a moment as the students processed his words. Then Mina burst out laughing, thinking he was joking. Mina Ashido {teasingly}: "What?! Lacking? Who even says that about Mr. Ōru Fō Wan's movies? They're masterpieces!" Izuku turned his sharp blue eyes toward her, his expression as unreadable as ever. Izuku {bluntly}: "They're mine." The room froze. Denki Kaminari {blinking, confused}: "Wait... what do you mean, they're yours?" Izuku {flatly}: "I'm Mr. Ōru Fō Wan." The students erupted in gasps and shocked exclamations. Mina Ashido {wide-eyed, almost yelling}: "No way! You're kidding, right?!" Tenya Iida {adjusting his glasses rapidly, clearly flustered}: "Midoriya, if this is a joke, it's in very poor taste. Mr. Ōru Fō Wan is a world-famous writer!" Izuku {shrugging, unfazed}: "It's not a joke. I write under that name. But no one asked, so I never mentioned it." The room erupted again, students talking over one another in disbelief. Nezuko, seated beside Izuku, blinked in surprise but quickly scribbled a note in her notebook and showed it to him: "Really? That's amazing!" Izuku glanced at her, his expression softening slightly. Izuku {quietly}: "Thank you." Meanwhile, Mina practically jumped off the couch, pointing at him with dramatic flair. Mina Ashido {shouting}: "How could you just sit there while we were fangirling over your work?! You didn't think to say, 'Oh, by the way, I wrote those movies you love'?" Izuku {deadpan}: "You didn't ask." The group collectively groaned, but the admiration in their eyes was clear. Even Katsuki Bakugo, who had been sulking in the corner, muttered something under his breath that sounded suspiciously like reluctant respect. Shoto Todoroki {calmly, with a faint hint of curiosity}: "It makes sense. Your writing and strategies during the battle trials were meticulous. It's impressive that you apply that to storytelling as well." Ochaco Uraraka {smiling nervously}: "I can't believe it... Izuku's famous!" As the group continued to bombard him with questions, Izuku remained calm, answering only when necessary. Nezuko quietly passed him another note: "You're really cool." For the first time that evening, Izuku allowed himself a faint, genuine smile. Izuku {softly, to Nezuko}: "Thank you."
