After the conversation, Hayato wasn't in a very good mood and it showed on his face.

His usually cheerful and confident face was deadpan and sometimes slipped into a scowl. He looked oddly terrifying, like someone who was perfect to be a villain. Paired with his horns he looked like a legendary Demon King from the novels from the past.

He realized he was letting the issue get to him a bit much, so he took a deep breath and seemed to breathe out all his troubles. His shoulders seemed less tense and they relaxed a little bit. He decided to go and distract himself, so he went to the cafeteria, Izuku went off to go find All Might, so he had nothing else to do.

When he arrived in the cafeteria, he saw Kaminari's blonde hair and his signature black lightning bolt on the front of his hair. Hayato smiled as he realized he could have some fun before the final part of the tournament.

"Yo, Kaminari!" Hayato shouted over to the lone Kaminari who was waiting in the line. Hayato ran up to him and squeezed himself behind him. Kaminari looked at the class rep of their class "Oh, hey Tagami, what do you want, dude?" his voice was calm and carefree as he looked at Hayato.

"I have a plan, and I need you to back me up, here it is..." Hayato started explaining his plan and the more he talked, the more excited he got and the more excited Kaminari got as well. They decided to get some food before putting their plan into action.

Hayato easily got them plates of food by using his height and muscle fiber wires to his advantage. The two of them went to sit down and eat.

They quickly ate through their food, while speaking to each other about the genius of the idea.

Hayato finished first and Kaminari soon after, they both stood up and went to put the plan under action.

"Hey, Yaoyorozu, I just got news from Aizawa-sensei, you and the other girls need to wear cheerleading outfits for the first part of the tournament to cheer people of class 1-A on when they fight." Hayato put an apologetic smile on as he told Yaoyorozu about 'Aizawa-sensei's' plan. Kaminari stood next to him and nodded his head with a very serious expression.

Yaoyorozu had a troubled expression on her face, so did Jiro who was standing next to her. Unluckily for Hayato, Itsuka and Himiko were within ear range when he spoke to Yaoyorozu. "Hayato, you pervert! Who'd believe you, huh?!" was what Itsuka said, while Himiko had spaghetti hanging out of her mouth and she didn't seem to be bothered with wearing a cheerleading uniform.

"Well, Aizawa-sensei told me to tell Yaoyorozu to make the cheerleading uniforms." Hayato turned to Yaoyorozu and spoke to her "It's okay if you don't want to, but Aizawa-sensei would probably be pretty mad about it if you didn't do as he said." Hayato could only show an apologetic look on his face as he used his control over his muscles to stop his face from twitching and also his control over his blood to stop himself from blushing from how shameless he was being.

Yaoyorozu seemed troubled for a minute but she soon nodded her head. "Okay, thanks for the heads up, Tagami-kun." she smiled at Hayato and he smiled back, before saying "I bet you'll look incredibly when you put the uniform on." and leaving under Himiko and Itsuka's death stares at what he just said. Yaoyorozu, however, was beet red as she fidgeted with her hair before sitting down and making the uniforms.

Hayato felt slightly guilty about tricking her into doing this, but that guilt was squashed when he thought about how all the beautiful girls in his class were gonna be wearing crop tops and cheerleading skirts, he and Kaminari were incredibly excited about how it was gonna look.

Lunch past as Kaminari and Hayato became better and better friends, even addressing each other by their given names. Friends were usually made through talking to like-minded people, the more they had in common, the quicker they became close.

"Well, Denki, we better get going, the fruits of our plan are about to bloom~"

"You're right, Hayato, we've gotta go see~"

They both walked to where the other students were gathering with questionable smiles on their faces.

"Hello and welcome back everyone! Before we start the tournament we have a few small events for those who didn't make it through to the final and for those who aren't competing, we've brought in cheerleaders to really get your blood pumping!" Present Mic's boisterous voice boomed throughout the stadium as Hayato and Denki got there.

Hayato and Denki saw the girls of their class dressed in their cheerleading uniforms and Hayato felt like some kind of harem protagonist as his nose started bleeding a little bit. They all looked amazing, especially Yaoyorozu, her figure was incredibly curvaceous. Saying that though, none of the other girls lost out, they all had their own unique charm.

Sadly, the picturesque scene was ruined by their incredibly somber faces. When they saw Hayato and Denki with perverted looks on their faces, they charged over to them.

"Oi! Muscle Brain! Do you think this is funny?" Itsuka kept hitting Hayato's face, while she screamed her sentences at him with a red face, that seemed like steam could come out of it at any second. Himiko also kept hitting Hayato with her face in a cute pout.

Yaoyorozu seemed taken aback by Hayato's prank but she couldn't help but fidget when she saw Hayato and Denki's weird smiles. After all this, Hayato apologized while complimenting all the girls with a smile on his face, so they reluctantly forgave him which was more than they did for Denki who was being constantly glared at.

Once all this had gone underway, Hayato and the others walk over to where the students were going to draw lots from the box Midnight-sensei was now holding, it was all for the final battle.

Hayato drew his lot with Denki as they were talking and he looked around to see whom he got. On a massive screen hanging over where they were, it showed the pairing of who would fight who. Hayato looked towards whom he was going against. But before he could find who he was against, he heard a girl scream "I'm against Tagami, why is the world so cruel!" Hayato turned towards the voice and saw Ashido in her cheerleading clothes.

Hayato couldn't help but admit that she was quite attractive in it, her light purple skin, pink hair and yellow eyes with black sclera gave her an exotic kind of beauty. Plus the uniform and it gave her a youthful air. But all this was out the window as she seemed incredibly frustrated at the matchups.

Hayato couldn't help the wry smile spreading on his face.

'Seems that I'm the person most people would least want to go against...I can't exactly blame them...'

"You can all compete in the mini-games if you want, treat it as a way to calm down before the final part of the tournament!" Midnight-sensei passionately yelled as she looked at the students in front of her. Hayato went to go get some more food, he knew he'd need it for the fights to come and anyway, he was hungry to start with.

Hayato went on his own as he wanted to clear his head and calm down but he would have never thought that he would meet someone he absolutely didn't want to meet right now; Endeavor. He was in the corridor Hayato was walking through to get to the cafeteria.

Endeavor was just leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. The flames around his body were calmy swaying back and forth, but Hayato could feel the potential rage the flames could hold, the destruction they could cause.

Hayato went to walk past Endeavor but the pro-hero stood up and walk in front of Hayato, trying to intimidate him with his size. But that didn't work out for him, Hayato was about an inch taller than him and while Hayato didn't have bulky muscle like Endeavor, his muscle felt more like it was used to fight and destroy, opposed to Endeavor's muscle that seemed like it could only lift heavy things.

"What do you want?" Hayato's voice was incredibly cold and his eyes blazed with scorn as he looked at Endeavor. Endeavor seemed taken aback by Hayato's attitude but he put it aside and spoke. "I want you to drop out of the tournament. I want Shoka to win and you pose a threat to that." Endeavor's voice was calm and collected but it was layered with disdain.

Hayato was taken aback by the outrageous suggestion and his eyes closed into slits as his eyes lit up with a dangerous red, as if a volcano was about to erupt. "And what if I say no?" his voice came out as a barely contained hiss or anger, something in him refused to accept what had just been asked of him.

"I will personally make your life hell. I know of your connections to All Might but that will not stop me, I promise you this." Endeavor's flames seemed to expand as Endeavor made his promise. It was just like when an animal tried to make itself look bigger to scare off an opponent.

But Hayato would not fall for that, animals only did that when they were scared; Endeavor was worried about him. And that made Hayato feel like he could push it a little bit.

"Oh, All Might, what are you doing here?" Hayato looked behind Endeavor and put on a troubled smile. Endeavor's flames burst into life and started crackling with destruction and pain, he turned around to see if his life-long rival really was behind him.

When he finally turned around fully, he saw nothing but an empty corridor. Suddenly he felt a strong hand on his shoulder and an incredible amount of strength channeling through it and into his body, pushing him.

He was caught by surprise, so even if he could usually stop this level of strength, right now he couldn't.

As you'd expect, the hand was Hayato's and he'd entered his most powerful mode and pushed Endeavor aside and into a wall. The wall crumbled as Endeavor put his hand on it to steady himself. His head shot to where Hayato was, but Hayato was well ahead of him as he'd dashed down the hall and into the cafeteria as soon as he'd pushed him.

'Threaten me? Ha! Deserves you right, you old bastard! Hahaha!'

Thinking of the surprised expression on Endeavor's face, Hayato couldn't help but laugh in his head, which led to him laughing in reality as well. Hayato soon calmed down and went to get some food, he was ravenous.
