The game finished and Midnight reveal the top four teams.
"In 1st place... Team Todoroki!"
"In 2nd place... Team Bakugou!"
"In 3rd place... Team Misaki!"
'Great!' Misaki thought.
"In 4th place... It's team Shinsou!?"
'Oh wait- Midoriya's out?! He's really out?!' Misaki thought, shocked by the what she actually caused. 'No... Maybe...'

The students are given a small break before continuing the festival.
In the break room, Misaki took a seat and start thinking.
'It seems my existence are capable of altering the story after all... Hm...' She stood up and leave the break room.
She sighed.
'It's still early in the story.. My involvement shouldn't cause much problem... Hopefully...' She head to a vending machine and bought a drink.
"But..." She thought a bit.
'Oh well.. This is what I get for being impulsive and letting my curiosity gets the best of me.' She went back to the break room.

After a break, the top four teams head back to the stadium.
'Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure a person or two from the 5th team can join after some people decided to leave the game because of Shinsou... But I could remember wrong...' Misaki thought to herself.
'Was it this anime or did I get it mix up with some other animes...?' While she is distracted by her own thoughts, two students decided to quit the competition giving two people from the 5th place team, Deku's team, a chance.
"Oh..." Misaki sigh in relief. Even though she wanted to see what she could tamper with the story, she don't actually wanna cause any unnecessary problem.
'Deku is the main character of this story so his influence towards the other characters are still somewhat important... At least I think it is...' She thought.
Deku's team decided to let Deku and Tokoyomi advance to the next stage.
'Tokoyomi huh... I guess Uraraka didn't get in this time... Great. Now I feel guilty...' She sigh her feelings out before paying attention to what Midnight is saying.
The matchups are finally shown on the big screen.
'Where- Wait...' Misaki reread it the second time. '... Great.. This is just great... I.. got Kirishima...' She frown at the screen, not because she's mad but because she's not sure how fight him.
'Should I give up too...' She glance around the stadium. She can't help but see the large amount of viewers. 'If I withdraw now, I feel like I'm gonna get mock by some very irritating people...'
She sighed 'Alright! I'll just figure it out... Somehow...' Misaki is more curious than competitive so she usually starts losing motivation once her curiosity is satisfied.

After a brief explanation on the rules and a short break, the first fight begins. Other competitors either take a rest in the break room or follows the non-competitors to the viewer's seat to watch the fight.
Misaki took a seat near her classmates.
*Yawn* 'I'm a bit tired...' She thought as she calculate how long till it's her turn. 'A short nap should be fine... Right?' She lean back, makes herself comfortable and closes her eyes.
'I wonder... Should I really be here...?'

After constantly getting woken up by the loud spectators and commentators, Misaki decided to just watch the battles.
'There's quite a few people I don't recognize... But then again I don't have the best memories-' She pause her thoughts for a sec.
'Wait... What happens after this festival again...?' She thinks for a bit but decided to focus on what's in front of her. '... I'll think about it later...'
The battles continues with occasional breaks with fun activities for the eliminated students to entertain the audience.

After quite a while, it was Midoriya's turn against Shinsou.
'So it's time...' Misaki thought. 'There's not much to see since I knew Midoriya will win.'
"..."
'A walk would do me good.' She stood up.
"Eh? Are you going somewhere, Hamamura?" Hagakure asked.
"Just a walk to stretch my legs." Misaki answered simply.
"Where?" Hagakure continue asking.
"Anywhere." Misaki answered as she walk away and leaves the viewer's seat.
"Oh..." Hagakure stopped asking. "... Is she mad about something?" She muttered as she noticed Misaki is acting a bit cold.
"Who?" Mina asked.
"Hamamura. She didn't seem like she wants to talk at all... Her answers feels short too..." Hagakure answered.
"Huh... Didn't you team up with her before? You seem to get along well, back then." Mina asked.
"True... Oh! Maybe she's nervous for her fight?!"
"Now that you said it, aren't you fighting too? Who do you fight again?" Mina asked.
They continue chatting.

"Are you in a bad mood?" The system asked.
"Huh?"
"You were fine in the game earlier." The system continues.
"What? No- No, I'm not." Misaki answered. "What- Why? Did I do something wrong? Oh- Is it because of the way I talk just now?" She asked as she realizes she was a bit ruder than she usually is.
"..."
"What? What is it?"
"No it's fine. Nevermind." The system answered.
"???" Misaki felt like she needs to explain something but she wasn't sure what she needs to explain.
Despite her confusion, she continues her walk, bought some snacks for herself and went back to the audience seat after a short while.
