User blog:Lover of the Muse/future non-villain arcs

This is the second in my series of blogs about my ideas for My Hero Academia story arcs. As I see it there are three types of story arcs in My Hero Academia:

Indendent villain arc: focus on conflicts between the heroes and a villain or group of villains who aren't part of the league, though the league might be involved to some capacity.

Non-villain arcs: are about the characters trying to pass a test or win a competition. These arcs have lower stakes since they don't involve villains but that also makes the outcomes less predictable since the protagonists can more easily lose.


 * Sports Festival: that's what this blog is focused on.


 * Training and Exam:

League of Villains Arcs: focus on conflicts between the heroes and the League of villains.

Sports Festivals
Second year Sports Festival: gives us a chance to see how characters have grown in strength relative to one another. This year the preliminary events would be different and different characters will make it to the tournament.

This time the tournament matches are cage fights. The ring is enclosed by a large domed structure of steel beams with an opening at the center top. Instead of trying to knock you're opponent out bounds one way to win is to escape the cage then touch the ground outside. You can also win by rendering an opponent unable to move, or if you're opponent surrenders.

This tournement would include and possibly even conclude with a rematch between Izuku Midoriya and Shoto Todoroki. The dynamics of this fight would be different from their original fight since this time Shoto would be using both fire and ice from the outset and Izuku would have Full Cowl-Shoot Style and air pressure attacks.

Izuku would make it to the finals this time but would lose his last match, thus putting him in 2nd place.

Third year sports Festival: this time the tournement is split into two parts. The final four contestents in the U.A Sports Festival will take part in an Interhigh competition with four students from Ketsubutsu, Shiketsu, and another school.

This time Izuku will be competing not just to prove himself the greatest hero student at U.A but to prove himself the greatest hero student in Japan. Bakugo will somehow be able to defeat Inasa. The final match will be Izuku Midoriya vs Katsuki Bakugo.

I have no idea what the rules should be for this tournement.

Training events,
Deathtrap escape trial: pop quiz designed to prepare students for the posibility of being captured by villains who then try to kill them in sadistic and implausibly elaborate ways. For the duration of this event Izuku Midoriya is forced to wear the same High Density Weights as All Might did during the First Semester Final Exam.

Suicide Intervention Trial: actors from the Help Us Company are brought in to pose as suicidal civillians for the students to save.

Mission control teamwork exercise: each student in class 1-A is paired up with a student from the support department who acts as their mission control.

Interhigh Training Exercise: a joint training exercise between students from U.A and Ketsubutsu

Exams
Giant Enemy Exam: the 1A students, with the exception of Izuku and Todoroki, are put into teams and forced to fight against those "Zero Point Villain Bots" from the Entrance Exam and the Sports Festival. They also need to try to minimize the damage done to the mock city because if the destruction goes beyond a certain level they could fail the test even if they defeat their robot. Insted of fighting Giant Robots like their classmates, Izuku and Shoto are forced to fight against Mt Lady.

Remedial Exam Arc: In March, Bakugo, Todoroki, Camie, and Inasa retake the provisional hero license exam and this time they all pass.
