🕑 Added 2024-08-01 23:01:51 +0000 UTC[Third Person's PoV]
Melissa, Mina, Hagakure, and Uraraka were seen happily waving towards the crowd with their pompoms, while Momo was covering her face due to how embarrassed she was.
Melissa walked up towards Tony and smirked, “That was unexpectedly fun.”
Tony, who was wiping his tears from laughing so much, scoffed, “Really? I couldn't tell?” He said sarcastically.
Melissa just rolled her eyes at his sarcasm and decided to tease him a bit, “Hmm, I wonder what I should do with this outfit. I should probably throw it away.”
“Why would you do such a thing! Why would you commit such a crime?” Tony asked, aghast.
Meanwhile, Present Mic was hyping up their performance.
“WHAT A FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE FROM CLASS 1A. IT SEEMS TO HAVE MOTIVATED THE CROWD TO CHEER FOR CLASS 1A! NOW THEN, SINCE THAT'S OVER, LET'S BEGIN WITH THE FINAL EVENT! BETWEEN THE 25 MEMBERS OF THE 5 WINNING TEAMS, WE'LL HAVE A FORMAL TOURNAMENT! A SERIES OF ONE-ON-ONE BATTLES.
NOW I KNOW WHAT SOME OF YOU ARE WONDERING, HOW CAN WE DO A ONE-ON-ONE BATTLE WITH AN ODD NUMBER OF PLAYERS!? BUT HERE'S THE CATCH, ON EACH ROUND, THERE WILL BE A LUCKY PLAYER WHO WILL DRAW A LUCKY SLOT AND AUTOMATICALLY MOVE TO THE NEXT ROUND!”
THE FIRST MATCH WILL BE 12 BATTLES IN TOTAL, WITH THE LUCKY PERSON GOING ON TO MATCH 2. MATCH 2 WILL BE 6 BATTLES IN TOTAL, WITH THE OTHER LUCKY PERSON GOING TO MATCH 3. MATCH 3, THE QUARTER-FINAL, WILL BE 3 BATTLES IN TOTAL, WITH A LUCKY PERSON MOVING INTO THE SEMIFINAL!
THE SEMIFINALS WILL HAVE NO LUCKY PERSON, IT WILL BE A BATTLE TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE IN THE FINALS, WHERE THE 2 TOP CONTESTANTS WILL FIGHT FOR FIRST PLACE!!!”
It wasn't long before the 12 matches were posted, plus the lucky guy who would move to the next round.
The lucky person was Mineta, with the following matches:
- Anthony Stark vs. Aoyama Yuga
- Tsuyu Asui vs. Hiryu Rin
- Hanta Sero vs. Kyoka Jiro
- Bakugo Katsuki vs. Kaminari Denki
- Kirishima Eijiro vs. Toru Hagakure
- Melissa Shield vs. Tokoyami Fumikage

- Tenya Iida vs. Mei Hatsume
- Izuku Midoriya vs. Togaru Kamakiri
- Momo Yaoyorozu vs. Sen Kaibara
- Ochako Uraraka vs. Koji Koda
- Mina Ashido vs. Mezo Shoji
Tony looked towards Mineta, “You are so lucky, it's unbelievable.”
Mineta rubbed the back of his head with a pretty happy expression, “Haha, who knows? Perhaps with this luck, all the beautiful ladies will want to be with me. I would happily let my luck rub off on them.” His happy expression changed to that of a perverted one.
Tony just sighed, “Why do I even speak to you?”
After the lineup and everyone knew who their opponents were, the festivities commenced.
During this time, Tony decided to spend time with his mother and father, while Melissa decided to spend time with her dad. They all watched the festivities from the VIP room. Howard nudged Tony as he asked, “So when are you going to make me a suit?”
Tony just blinked as he looked at Howard, “Dude, you know how to make the Arc Reactor, why can't you just make the suit yourself?”
Howard just looked at Tony in confusion, “Isn't it obvious? Because it's your product. How should I say this? Those suits are now a part of you and you are a part of them. If I just went and copied it, it would feel like I'm stealing something important from you.”
“Wow, that is surprisingly considerate of you. I didn't know you had it in you, old man,” Tony said, looking at his father in surprise.
Howard just gave Tony a plain look and scoffed, “So are you getting me one?”
“Of course I'm getting you one. I'm actually getting you both one. Melissa is making one for her father,” Tony said, shaking his head. “Actually, I had something else for you and Mom when you were coming over, but now I'm not sure since Mom is pregnant.”
“What is it?” Howard asked curiously.
“I don't want to talk about it in the open,” Tony informed him.
Howard nodded, while Maria just shook her head. “Tony, honey, I appreciate the thoughtfulness of it, but I don't need a suit of armor,” she said in amusement.
“Please, when I make it, use it for protection. I synthesized this new metal that is really good for protection. I named it vibranium…”
After explaining what it does, Howard had a surprised look, “You created a metal that absorbs kinetic energy and distributes it? You never fail to amaze, Tony…”
Howard, Tony, and Maria continued conversing, discussing many things. Maria was mostly interested in his social life and the friends he made during his time at U.A.
It wasn't long, however, until Tony had to go as he was the first one up during the tournament.
Present Mic then began presenting the two contestants up to the stage.
“IN THE FIRST MATCH, WE HAVE A CONTESTANT THAT HAS DOMINATED EVENTS AFTER EVENTS. HIS NAME HAS RANG OUT IN JAPAN FOR MANY YEARS NOW. PLEASE GIVE IT UP FOR ANTHONY STARKKKKKK!!!”
Everyone soon heard heavy footsteps as Tony appeared from his entrance wearing his full blue and golden armor, with only his face and black hair visible.
There was thunderous applause as Tony appeared wearing his armor. Many were impressed with it; some even wanted one for themselves. Others were more interested in its capabilities and what it had to offer.
Present Mic then presented Tony's opponent, “AND ON THE OTHER CORNER, WE HAVE HIS CLASSMATE AND COURSE-MATE, A GUY THAT ALWAYS SHINES, AOYAMA YUGA!!”
Aoyama began walking as if he was a runway model, posing until he arrived in front of Tony. “Oui, oui, let's put on a magnificent show for everyone watching, mon ami.”
“Sure, dude,” Tony said casually.
“THE RULES ARE SIMPLE!” Present Mic started off. “WIN BY KNOCKING YOUR OPPONENT OUT OF THE RING, IMMOBILIZING THEM, OR GETTING THEM TO SAY ‘I GIVE UP’! BRING THE PAIN!!
WE'VE GOT OUR GOOD OLD RECOVERY GIRL ON STANDBY!! AND FIGHT DIRTY IF YOU MUST! ‘ETHICS’ HAVE NO MEANING HERE!! WELL, OF COURSE, GOING FOR THE KILL IS A NO-NO!! YOU'LL BE DISQUALIFIED! BECAUSE A TRUE HERO'S FISTS FLY ONLY WHEN IN PURSUIT OF VILLAINS! NOW LET'S GET THIS THING STARTED!!
READYYYYYYY!?!”
Tony's mask closed over his face as his eyes lit up, showing their activation. Aoyama's devices around his stomach glowed slightly.
“START!!!”
Immediately, Aoyama sent a beam from his belly button device. The light beam traveled rapidly through the air, hitting Tony straight in his armored stomach.
However, instead of moving or being sent flying back, Tony stood rooted in place without any reaction.
Tony just calmly began walking casually, swinging his arms side to side, and making his way through Aoyama's beam.
Aoyama's stomach began rumbling, but he wanted to at least believe he tried to win, so he didn't give up and increased the power of the beam.
Tony quickly arrived in front of Aoyama. Aoyama, seeing how pointless it was, stopped using his beam. Tony just stared down at Aoyama.
“Walk off,” Tony said without much emotion.
Aoyama was holding his stomach in pain and his legs were closing into each other. “Merci beaucoup,” he said graciously for not hurting him. Aoyama then slowly walked out and headed back the way he came from, while Tony turned around and did the same.
“WHAT A SHOW OF POWER, FOLKS! JUST WITH HIS MERE INTIMIDATING PRESENCE AND WORDS ALONE, HE DISCOURAGED A COMPETITOR INTO CALLING IT QUITS.
WANT TO KNOW WHAT I CONSIDERED POWER AND THE PINNACLE OF HEROISM!? IT'S WHEN YOUR MERE PRESENCE AND WORDS SPEAK VOLUMES!
THERE WE HAVE IT, FOLKS! THE FIRST ROUND DONE IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. THE WINNER, ANTHONYYYY STARKKKK!”
