Ecstatic the greenette waved between various stands and tried every food he got his hands on and also helped Mt.Lady out of a financial crisis with a little donation.

It was kind of funny that a wanted villain helped a hero and wasn't recognized by their group. 
Especially if one considered that a lot of the heroes were actually hired as guards for the students and to prevent another villain-attack.

Izuku was one of the first to claim his seat and he really wasn't sorry for sitting between all these high society gentleman and ladies who observed him like he was some kind of disgusting insect.

He had a bag with him that was stuffed to the brim with the provisions he collected over these past couple weeks as well as some placates that had Shoutos name and some dumb spurring-on encouragements scrawled on them.
(The one where he wrote 'I love you!' with some hearts was left untouched and would be burned shortly after the festival.)

"WEEELLLL?! WHO WANT'S THIS TO STAAART?!"

Everyone started to cheer at Present Mics voice.

"THEN LET THE SPORTS FESTIVAL OF THIS YEAR BEGINNNN!
AND LIKE EVERY YEAR OUR FUTURE HEROES ARE GOING TO FIGHT EACH OTHER TO THE BONE!
AND HERE THEY ARE! THE BEST AND STRONGEST STUDENTS OF THE MIRACLE-CLASS 1A OF THE HERO-COURSE WHO SURVIVED AN ATTACK OF THE 'LEAGUE OF VILLAINS'!"

The stadion was rioting and Izuku did the same as everyone else.

"THE NEXT BEING CLASS 1B WHO'RE ALSO FROM THE HEROICS-COURSE."

The volume decreased worryingly and the students who entered the stadion looked upset and annoyed.

"THE CLASSES C, D, AND E OF THE GENERAL EDUCATION!"

These students looked aggressive and belligerent, if not resigned.

The villain actually started to be concerned about how this generation was going to end up if their school degraded them like this.

On the other hand, it would be easy to make all this ignored students turn against their school and it was likely that they would defect to the enemy at the slightest promise of revenge.

"CLASS F, G, AND H OF THE SUPPORT-DEPARTMENT!"

These students were determined and confident.
They walked upright and waved at the audience even though nobody really paid them attention.

"AND LASTLY: CLASSES I, J AND K FROM THE MANAGEMENT!"

These students looked like they didn't even need the pathetic cheers they received. 
They were professional and concentrated and not even slightly interested in the excitement surrounding them.

Nerds, thought Izuku suddenly.
He was sure that he would have fitted well into this course.

"It's time for the Pledge!", called Midnight as she climbed the stage in front of the students.

She wore her hero-costume and a lot of the attendees started to undress her with their eyes. 
The greenette only shook his head. 
This behavior was unnecessary.

"Todoroki, if you would?"

Some students looked around in confusion and started to whisper, seemingly they have supposed it would be somebody else.

Shouto stood in front of the microphone and took in the sight of the arena before a smile tugged at his lips when he noticed the villain.

Izuku felt like his heart was going to stop. This look… this eyes.
AND HE WAS SMILING!

"I pledge to give my best.
I hope everyone agrees with me when I say that this tournament shouldn't stand in our way of cooperating when we're heroes.
And because of this, I request a fair game where everyone keeps in mind that a violent victory isn't the way of becoming number one - such a victory is simply wrong and leaves no winner at all.
Good luck and may the odds be in your favor."
