Your heart pounds in your chest as you step onto the concrete platform that was made for this. For fighting. It's the Sports Festival after all; you can't give up now. Even if you're shaking from pure nerves.

You walk up onto the platform, and you're met with the face of your classmate. Eijiro Kirishima. He looks ready for this fight. Excited, even. You can't blame him. This is a chance to get spotted by Pros and get accepted into their agency for internships. This is a big deal.

Kirishima, in his mind, is nervous. Not as nervous as you, but, still. There are hundreds-- maybe even thousands of people watching.

When he sees you walk onto the platform, his heart leaps in his chest. He isn't sure if it's in a good way or not. He has to fight you. He doesn't exactly want to do that. But, the voice of Present Mic snaps him out of his thoughts, telling them to start fighting.
