"And with that the treasure hunt event has ended and now everyone gather around!!!"
Hearing this everyone had their attention towards the screen where a total of 20 students were holding suitcases but they all knew of the 20 only 16 were real and now_ they wanted to know who gets to go to the last event.
"Ok now that everyone's attention is at the screen let's first give a round of applause for the everyone who fought fiercely in this round but we're unable to get a suitcase." Said Midnight as everyone in audience followed her command.
"Now the reveal everybody let's get this party started!!!" And now all the students who had a suitcase were trembling except for Bakugo his was a garanteed ticket afterall.
"3!!!!!"
The students who were holding suitcases were:
Katsuki Bakugo
Victor pendragon
Crash Astarosh
Nearl Pegasus
Aoko Aozaki
Izuku midoriya
Subrahmanya Rudra
Togaru Kamakiri
Ejiro kirishima
Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
Ibara Shiozaki
Tenya Ilda
Shoto Todoroki
Bill Armstrong
Warren Pierce
Hitoshi Shinso
Fumikage Tokoyami
Nikita geetha
Rachna geetha
Hanta Sero
"2!!!!!!!"
They couldn't help but take gulps and sweat buckets of water with how slowly time seemed to pass for them as the count down went on.
It was same for the audience as well as they were anticipating for who were going to make it to the next round and who weren't, and truth be told people really wanted to see Aoko and Bill fight as that seemed the most fitting and if not then at least Bakugo or Todoroki had to be in the finals, as that was what naturally everyone wanted .
"2.1/5!!!!"
"......"
"......"
"Just get on with it!!!!!"
"Hahahahha sorry sorry I just couldn't help it ok very well and these are the ones eliminated!!!!"
And then everyone's attention was back on the screen as four suitcases opened on their own and from within it emerged.
A picture of the principal holding a cup of coffee saying "better luck next time" accompanied by the losing music in video games.
The once who lost were:
Togaru Kamakiri
Ibara Shiozaki
Nikita geetha
Rachna geetha
Kamakiri just dropped the suitcase as he held his face "oh come on!!!! Damn it!!!" He was clearly frustrated beyond believe as he was so close but damn RNG.
Shiozaki had a much more tame reaction where she just sighed and shook her head in defeat.
The Geetha twins on the other hand just kept whining and decided to just bother Subramanya instead to get rid of some steam.
After the fake suitcases were revealed the students were brought back from the mock city back to the stadium where they were allowed to rest for a while.
"Man can't believe i actually made it man" Sero was completely overwhelmed about the whole situation.
"Damn man you really got lucky me on the other hand I had completely bad match up and got my suitcase stolen" complained Kaminari who was slumped on his desk in defeat.
"So midoriya i didn't you you could fight like that where did you learn how to fight? " Asked Ojiro.
"Well i could actually help you get in contact with my mentor" replied midoriya with a small smile.
"So guys how do you think the match up are going to be in the tournament" asked Sato.
"I really hope midoriya and kirishima don't have to face that American guy and Aoko those two are monsters" said Hagakure nervously.
"Yeah no kidding i actually managed to see that American guy bill if I remember correctly as he fought with kendo man even though she put up a fight he was just way to damn strong" said jiro.
"How about the other school's like AVALONIA and Nearl was it right?" Asked Uraraka.
"Well she is a tough opponent in her own right and Unless you're as strong as Aoko, Bakugo or Todoroki your chances of winning isn't high cause I know i sparred with her a lot as kids" said Ilda.
"Man I'm getting nervous and I'm not even in the event guys" said Ashido.
"You and me both" replied Tsuyu.
"I have to agree with you on that especially considering this is the largest UA's sports festival has ever been at least one student from UA has to win this " said Momo as she looked worried.
While everyone else was discussing about the tournament coming up three of contestants the ones that actually had a chance in winning were silent.
Bakugo sat down cleaning his spar glasses something he got from Julius way back when he received his mystic eyes.
Todoroki was just silent with a warm towel around his neck to heat him up.
And Aoko she was eating chips but didn't make any effort to communicate with anyone but she was smiling.
And with that the time for breaks eventually ran out and the tournament bracket placement for everyone which caused the class to get up and head towards the stadium.
There they took their seats as they heard everyone around them talking about the whole festival as a whole though for the audience the most memorable moment was still the student council president speech and now they hoped this would completely blow them away not that the earlier events were bad Kibe was just that memorable.
And finally present mic returned to his announcer role along with Aizawa.
"And with that the stage is set for the final event of the festival and without a doubt it's most anticipated one as well so are you ready!!!!!"
"YEAH!!!!!"
"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!!!"
"YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"Well then let's not keep you waiting for long as here are the tournament brackets!!!!"

And immediately everyone became excited with the sheer fact that Aoko and Bill were going to be fighting in the first round of matches so too were the students.
But to some though especially subrahmanya who looked towards his left at victor he couldn't help but clenched his fist .
"It had to be him!!"
As victor slowly turned his head towards the audience perticularly towards the VIP section where the headmasters were seated and took a deep breath closing his eyes and spoke.
"Let's have an honorable duel subrahmanya Rudra " he said calmly and that absolutely terrified subrahmanya.
And thus the festival continues.
