Among the crowd, the Yaoyorozu family sat in their reserved seats, eyes fixed on the stage. Yana, with a proud smile, pointed. "Look, Itachi's going up."
Beside her, Momo beamed. "Brother!"
Takashi, sitting with his arms crossed, sighed, casting a sideways glance at Momo. He thought to himself, I'm only here because she insisted. How could I say no to that face? He sighed again, his eyes following Itachi as he walked up the stage. Let's see what you're capable of, kid…
When Itachi reached the stage, Midnight handed him the microphone. Her eyes lingered on him for a second longer than necessary, and she gave him a playful, almost predatory smile. It made Itachi noticeably uncomfortable, the tension radiating off him as he cleared his throat. I wasn't informed about this… he thought, trying to maintain his composure.
In the commentary booth, Aizawa's eyes widened in realization. Damn… I forgot to tell him. He rubbed his temples, knowing the situation was out of his control now.
Itachi sighed softly, gathering his thoughts. Holding the microphone with a steady hand, he began, his voice clear and calm, though the weight of the moment hung in the air.
"Today marks a challenge that is far more than a test of your strength. It is an opportunity—an opportunity to reveal who you are, not only to the world, but to yourself."
{He pauses, allowing the words to sink in.}
"There will be moments when you falter, when doubt clouds your mind, when your body feels like it cannot move another inch. But in those moments, remember—true strength lies not in the power of your quirk, nor in the speed of your body. It lies in your will. Your resolve."
{Itachi's expression grows more serious, his eyes narrowing slightly.}
"A hero is not defined by victories alone, but by the willingness to stand up when they fall. By the courage to continue when the path ahead is uncertain."
{His tone softens, but the intensity remains.}
"Look to your peers, not as competition, but as allies in this journey of growth. Learn from their strengths, and share your own. Together, you will rise, and together, you will overcome."
The students cheer, a wave of excitement spreading across the festival grounds. The pledge leaves them fired up, ready to face whatever the competition throws their way.
The audience fell into a brief, awed silence before erupting into applause. Itachi handed the microphone back to Midnight, who gave him a sly wink. He nodded politely, though internally he hoped to leave the stage as quickly as possible.
In the audience, Takashi nodded subtly, impressed. He's composed... He knows how to command a moment.
Meanwhile, Momo watched her brother with glowing pride, her heart swelling at how confidently he represented their class.
Itachi handed the mic back to Midnight, who gave him a genuine nod. "That was impressive," she said, her voice sincere rather than her usual flirtatious tone.
Itachi offered her a small smile. "Thank you for the opportunity," he replied, bowing politely before making his way back to his classmates in Class 1-A.
As soon as he joined them, Rumi grinned and slapped him on the back. "That was sick, Itachi!"
Anan nodded eagerly. "Yeah! Your pledge made me even more confident!"
Yu smiled warmly, "That was a great speech. Really motivating."
Ryuko added, "I'm all fired up now, thanks to you."
Ida and Masaki nodded in agreement, while Kamiji smirked. "Now I feel like I can really show off my skills."
Itachi looked at them, pleased with their reactions. "Thank you. I wish you all the very best," he said with a calm smile.
Keigo, ever the playful one, grinned and added, "Yup, let's go and crush it!"
Just then, Midnight snapped a whip to get the students' attention, her voice commanding as she spoke. "Alright, let's get started right away!" she announced.
A large screen behind her came to life, displaying options that rapidly scrolled by until they stopped on the words "Royal Rumble."
The students all looked up at the screen, murmuring among themselves. "Royal Rumble?" Itachi thought to himself, mentally piecing it together. This must be like a battle royale concept…
Midnight's voice rang out again, "The first game is the Royal Rumble! There will be groups of 20 participants in each ring. You will fight until only one remains, and anyone knocked out or pushed out of the ring will be eliminated. There are no rules—anything goes. Is that clear?"
The students nodded in understanding, their excitement palpable. The screen then shuffled once again, this time displaying the names of the teams.
Itachi glanced at the screen and saw his own team in Group D composition: himself, Ida, Ryuko, and a mix of students from Class 1-B and the General Studies course.
Turning back to his classmates, he gave them a steady look. "Do your best out there," he said.
His teammates all nodded with determination, ready for the challenge ahead.
Midnight smirked, her voice full of excitement. "Now… Group A, come into the ring!" she called out.
In Group A were Rumi, Anan, and several other students. The atmosphere grew tense as they stepped into the ring, each competitor readying themselves for the battle ahead. Midnight raised her hand dramatically and shouted, "Start!"
The ring erupted into chaos as students clashed. The battle was fierce, with everyone trying to outlast their opponents. Quickly, some students were knocked out of the ring or overpowered. Anan, however, hesitated. She was nervous about using her quirk in such a crowded space, and that hesitation became her downfall.
In a swift moment, another student shoved Anan out of the ring. Itachi, watching closely from the sidelines, could see her fear and discomfort. Midnight's voice rang out, announcing the result. "Anan Kurose is out!"
Anan sat on the sidelines, her face filled with frustration and disappointment, but Itachi's gaze was steady, understanding her struggle.
