[Sports Festival Stadium - Toru's POV]
"Ahhh...ahhh..."
Toru put her hands on her knees as she leaned forward while breathing heavily.
'I hope I got here fast enough to pass...'
The unseen girl clenched her hands around her uniform.
'All because some jerk stepped on my hands while I was passing through that cable!'
Toru stood straight before waving her arms up and down as she looked straight into Metal's yellow eyes/lens.
"Shut it! What did you want me to do? Blind everyone?"
"That would make me look like a prick!"
Metal hummed while tapping his muzzle with his right index finger.
The robot moved his right hand to gesture behind him with his thumb.
'Wait, what?'
Toru tilted her head slightly to look past Metal, only to find an exhausted Yaoyorozu with some of Mineta's...spheres clinging to the back of her gym uniform.
"That's even worse! I would end up in some kind of list!"
Cling! Cling! Cling!
The indignated girl repeatedly bonked Metal's forehead with her fist.
"Why didn't you just help me, huh?"
Toru stepped back and crossed her arms.
"Not gonna lie, I feel a little betrayed..."
Toru uncrossed her arms and gestured to her body.
"That basically comes with the being invisible package."
'Lucky me...'
"Yeah, but that's bec—"
Toru's eyes widened slightly as she stared at her mechanical buddy.
'That's the nicest thing he has said to me, though...'
"...Was the subordinate part necessary?"
Metal turned around and walked away without responding.
'This guy!'
The girl rolled her eyes before quickly catching up to Metal.
"How are you so sure you can help me anyway?" Toru asked while walking on Metal's right side.
"I guess that makes sense... but I'm sure you could team up with someone better than me, so why?"
'Well, maybe not considering that speech.'
Cling!
Toru blocked Metal's path while pouting. The robot stared perfectly at the spot where her eyes were before turning his head to the side and crossing his arm.
<...Because you're my friend.>
The invisible girl moved her head up and down in an approving nod.
"See? It's not that hard to be nice, I don't know why you make such a big deal out of..." Toru released a gasp as something seemed to click within her mind.
"You're a tsundere!"
Metal's yellow lens flickered as he moved his head back to stare at Toru.
"That's what a robo-dere would say!"
The machine chose to not respond and instead slightly pushed Toru out of the way as he resumed his path to the center of the stadium.
'Now it all makes sense! I'm a genius!'

[A Few Minutes Later - Metal's POV]
All the classes once again stood in front of the platform where Midnight was.
"Since everyone is here, that marks the end of our first event!"
The Pro Hero raised her left arm to push her red glasses up.
"Now let's see the results!"
The projection hovering slightly behind Midnight changed to display 42 names.
No. 1. - Metal Hatsume
No. 2. - Katsuki Bakugo
No. 3. - Shoto Todoroki
No. 4. - Izuku Midoriya
No. 5. - Ibara Shiozaki
...
...
...
No. 41. - Chikuchi Togeike
No. 42. - Yuga Aoyama
"As you can see, only the first 42 are on this list, but don't worry! There's other events where you can display your abilities!"
Midnight licked her lips as she focused on the remaining students while the rest slowly left the arena.
"Let's start with the actual competition! The cameras will be watching all of you very closely, so give it your all!"
The projection changed once again, this time to display a spinning roulette.
"Let's see what the next game will be... though I already know~"
Midoriya clenched his hands as he stared at the roulette.
"What will it be?~"
Bakugo glared at the back of Metal's head with burning intensity.
"Isn't the anticipation killing you?~"
Todoroki's eyes narrowed as the roulette slowed down.
"And the next game is..."
Midnight adjusted her glasses back in position before pointing at the projection with an exaggerated motion that made her chest bounce.
"This!"
Princess And Knight.
"What the hell is that?" A confused Kaminari asked from the back of the group.
"I don't know, but sounds fun!" Mina said while putting her hands on the shoulders of the girl in front of her. "What do you think, Tsu?"
The frog girl put a finger on her cheek before speaking up.
"Sounds like something in duos, ribb—"
Whip!
"Shut up!"
Midnight adjusted her posture while clearing her throat.
"Now I'll explain how the game works if some people don't interrupt me..." Three students whistled at the same time while avoiding eye contact.
"You will have to form teams of two, with each member having a role, the 'Knight' and the 'Princess'."
The projection behind the woman changed to show the image of a classic medieval pair with the knight carrying the princess.
"The knight has the task of protecting their princess. You can carry the princess however you prefer, but they cannot touch the ground."
"Doesn't that just mean the princess is deadweig—"
Whip!
Sero recoiled while muttering an apology.
"All princesses will be given an amulet to wear around their neck. Each amulet will have a different value, but first let me show you the rules."
Midnight turned around to look at the projection as it changed to display a small list of rules.
-Knights cannot hold the amulets.
-Only a Princess can attack another Princess.
-Any team that steps out of the white line surrounding the arena will be disqualified.
-The amulets can only be stolen by a Princess.
-The teams are not eliminated even if their amulet is stolen.
-Contestants are not allowed to make each other fall on purpose.
"Sounds simple, right?"
The R-Rated Hero smirked as she glanced over her shoulder.
"But this is a competition after all, so only eight out of twenty-one teams will be allowed into the final stage, and to determine who are the most suited for that, we added a small points system."
Midnight's long hair swayed as the woman whipped around to face the students.
"Each student has been given a score based on their ranking from the previous game," the projection changed once more to show the list of names with a number on their side, though the first place was censored.
"As you can see, the lowest ranking has five points, and it keeps adding five more as it goes up."
Toru leaned to the side as Midnight grabbed both ends of her fan and stretched it with a sadistic look on her face.
"Metal, I have a bad feeling about this..."
"Our dear principal thought that might be a little boring, so he added a small twist to give those at the bottom an opportunity," the woman bit her lower lip before pointing straight at Metal with her feather fan.
"The first place is worth ten million points!"
...
...
The eyes of the students brightened with a dangerous glint as all of them turned to look at Metal.
"Ten million?!"
"That means..."
"Your rank doesn't matter if you get their amulet..."
Toru seemed to shrink within herself as she slowly stepped away, but unfortunately the robot grabbed her wrist.
[Synthesizing Toru Hagakure's Voice...
Imitating Speech Pattern...
Success]
"Hehe... Oops?"
Toru scratched her cheek with a finger as Metal let go of her wrist.
"I'm just worried since everyone is looking at you like starving lions, plus you were pretty mean in that speech."
Metal's lens glowed brightly as he met the stares of the crowd around him.
Toru let out a groan as some of the students from Class 1-B started throwing insults at Metal.
...
"You really can't help yourself, can you?"
"I'm regretting this friendship..."

[U.A. Development Studio - Miku's POV]
'That was not what I meant by presentation.'
Miku leaned back against the wall as she remained seated in her improvised chair, which consisted of a box filled with who knows what.
'Well, maybe a bit, but the speech could definitely use some work; that's no way of winning the crowd.'
The woman looked at the small TV a few meters away from her, the image showed the students in the center of the stadium as they formed teams or discussed strategies while a countdown slowly ticked down.
'That invisible girl came to Metal's and Mei's birthday, didn't she?' A small smile appeared on Miku's face.
'I'm glad they're making friends, even if it's mostly Metal.'
"Ugh..."
Miku's head turned to look at her husband, who was slowly sitting up in his futon while rubbing his eyes.
"That was a horrible idea..."
"It was."
Kyosuke slowly lowered his hands before looking up at his wife.
"H-Hello, darl—"
Thwack!
"Ow!"
Miku crossed her arms while scoffing, then she turned away from Kyosuke.
"Are you angry?" the man asked as he stood up from his futon with a hand on top of his head.
"What do you think, genius?"
"Come on! It was necessary to finish Metal!" Kyosuke walked around his wife to stand in front of her.
Miku simply raised an eyebrow as she stared at Kyosuke.
"You think I don't know that?"
"...Then why did you hit me?"
"For making up dumb lies instead of telling me."
Kyosuke's mouth formed a perfect 'o'.
'Is this man stupid?'
"I guess that makes sense, but could you stop hitting me on the same spot? I think my skull is cracking."
Miku rolled her eyes as she walked past her husband to sit back on her improvised chair.
"You're a big boy, I'm sure you can take it."
"Of course you say that," the man took a seat on top of the table beside the short-haired woman, "you don't know my suffering..."
"Then just hit me back."
"As if I didn't know you're into that..."
'Almost got away with it.'
Miku let out a fake cough into her right fist before focusing on the TV.
"How much did I miss?"
Kyosuke asked as he moved some things from the table to make more space for himself.
"Just a race. Metal got first place, by the way. He also ripped off the arm of a giant robot and used it as a baseball bat."
"That's my boy!"
"The next game is going to be some duo's thing."
"Wakey, wakey, Eraserhead!"
"Hmm..."
"After fifteen minutes of waiting, it's time for us to start the next game!"
Kyosuke gestured to Mei's sleeping form as the TV started showing images of the multiple teams.
"Should we wake her up?"
Miku shook her head.
"Let her sleep, at least until the tournament starts."

[Sports Festival Stadium - Metal's POV]
"Come on, people! Let me hear you!"
The whole stadium erupted into loud cheers as everyone focused on the students in the center.
"Let's start the countdown for this battle royale!"
...
"I can't believe you convinced me of this..."
The girl currently being carried as a princess in Metal's arms said as she adjusted the amulet around her neck.
"Three!"
"The problem is that I'm naked!"
"Two!"
"You can!"
"One!"
"You're horrible at reassuring people!"
Whip!
"START!"
As soon as Midnight gave the signal, all the teams around the arena, most of which decided to carry their partner on their shoulders, rushed towards Metal and the squirming amulet in his arms.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
"We'll take that amulet from you, Class 1-A bastard!" a student with gray hair and sharp teeth stated while carrying his teammate, who was a small girl with light-brown hair styled in a mushroom shape.
"Sorry, Hagakure, but we need that amulet!" Ashido said while skating forward with Asui on her shoulders.
"The battle turns into a brawl for the ten million points right from the start!"
Toru's head moved from side to side as she stared at the incoming horde before turning towards Metal.
"Move! Get us out of here!"
"What are you talking abo—"
SSSSHK!
Ice traveled all the way down from Todoroki's right hand through the iron rod created by his knight until finally reaching the ground, where it started spreading forward without signs of slowing down.
"Please, please!"
Just as Todoroki's ice was about to touch Metal's pointed shoes, the machine finally reacted by leaping forward over the heads of the approaching enemies.
"You're being an ass for no reason!"
Toru tightened her grip on Metal's shoulders as they approached the ground.
"Yeah!"
"Class 1-A really can't take anything seriously, huh?" The ground below Metal turned into a mud-like substance just as the robot landed, making the duo slowly sink into the ground.
"Class 1-B will use this festival to showcase your arrogance! hahaHAHA!"
"The leading duo seems to be having trouble! Is their amulet going to get stolen so soon?"
[Activating Hover Soles]
Metal's body stopped sinking, but it wasn't enough to break them free from the trap.
[Activating Back Thruster]
Whirr!
"I'll be taking this!"
Toru's eyes widened as a floating head grinned at her while a severed hand reached for her amulet.
"No!"
The invisible girl slapped the hand away before raising her palm in front of the head, who remained clueless.
Thwoom!
"MY EYES!"
The floating body parts retreated towards their knight, who seemed to be a big student that looked like Bigfoot.
"Toru Hagakure uses her own body as a flashbang to defend herself from Setsuna Tokage's attacks at the last second!"
"I didn't know she could do that..."
"There you have it, folks, Eraserhead doesn't pay attention to his own class!"
[Back Thruster: Ready For Burst]
Taking advantage of the small opening, Metal didn't waste any time in shooting forward out of the mud before more teams could approach them.
Fwoosh!
The nearby teams took a small step back in surprise as Metal shot forward through the arena until finally skidding to a stop a few meters away.
[Deactivating Hover Soles]
"Warn me next time!"
Metal didn't pay any attention to Toru's protest as he turned around; upon doing so, he found an ash-blonde individual soaring through the air in their direction.
"Give me that, bitch!"
Boom!
"The explosive menace of Class 1-A rushes towards his classmate!"
"Is that even allowed?!"
"As long as he doesn't touch the ground~"
Metal lifted his left hand, which made Toru cling harder onto his shoulders as only his right arm remained under her legs.
Vrrm!
Iida, now without his princess, sprinted forward and grabbed Metal's forearm with his two hands, forcing the robot's palms to face downwards.
"Metal, move!"
Toru raised a hand in the direction of the falling Bakugo as a bright light started gathering on her palm.
"That won't work on me!"
Boom!
Thwoom!
Iida's eyelids clenched tightly, though the tall boy didn't let go of Metal's arm for even a second.
Boom!
The smoke from Bakugo's previous explosion cleared as the boy propelled himself down again with another explosion.
"He used the smoke from his explosions to protect himself from the light, a good decision even if it killed his previous momentum."
[Activating Electromagnetic Soles]
A soft yellow glow emanated from Metal's shoes as he prepared to dodge the incoming attacker.
Squeeze!
Metal looked down to see green vines wrapped around his legs and slowly creeping up towards the girl on his arm.
"If you make her fall, you're out!" a girl with an orange ponytail said from a few meters away as she pointed with her thumb at the student sitting on her shoulders.
"A student is getting jumped on live television, can someone do something?!"
"That's the price of showing off. Everyone marked him as a threat from the start, the ten million points are just the motivation they needed to challenge that strength."
[Analyzing...
Immediate Threat: Katsuki Bakugo...
Katsuki Bakugo's Profile:
Prideful, self-centered, arrogant, selfish.
So much power, and yet so insecure.]
Metal moved his left arm, dragging Iida along just as Bakugo reached out towards Toru's amulet.
"Woah!"
[His pride won't allow me to be disqualified.]
Boom!
Just as predicted, the moment Bakugo saw his own teammate about to hit him, the blonde released an explosion in front of him to push himself back into the air.
"Bleh! I got smoke in my mouth!"
Metal raised his left arm above his head, lifting Iida without any trouble. Seeing what was about to happen, the vice-president reacted quickly by letting go of Metal's arms and jumping back once he touched the ground.
"Did you get hacked?!"
Toru hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and taking the amulet off her neck.
"Hey, asshole!"
Bakugo's eyes widened as the amulet was thrown up straight at him.
"Catch!"
"What are they doing?!"
Bakugo fell down onto Iida's shoulders with the amulet worth ten million points held tightly in his right hand.
"Are you messing with me?!" Bakugo asked through clenched teeth.
SSSSHK!
Iida barely managed to dodge the ice closing in from behind, though more teams already started closing in on them.
"Bakugo! This is not the time to ask for reasons! We got what we wanted!"
"First place like this doesn't mean anything, four-eyes!"
[A strong individual seeking to reassure himself of his own strength, how sad.]
To everyone's shock, except for his classmates, Bakugo threw the amulet over his shoulder as if it didn't mean anything to him.
"What is wrong with your class, Eraserhead?!"
"No comment."
As the amulet formed an arc through the air, a pink aura formed around it before it changed direction towards a girl with silver hair currently riding on the shoulders of a student with a weird yellow head filled with holes.
"Yoink!"
A weird creature, which seemed made out of shadows, snatched the amulet before it could reach its new destination. Then the shadow retreated back to its user, who was sitting on Kirishima's shoulders.
"Well done, Dark Shadow!" Tokoyami said as he quickly put the amulet around his neck.
Kirishima didn't waste a second to activate his Quirk, holding his arms in front of him in an X as he and his partner became the center of attention.
"Get ready, Tokoyami!"
"Team Tokoyami rises to the top in an unexpected turn of events! But will they be able to hold the number one spot?!"
"Some have already given up on the ten million, adding up points by collecting other amulets is not a bad strategy."
"So what's the plan now?"
Metal glanced down at his now free legs before answering to his teammate.
"You did get hacked! That's not your style at all!"
---
[U.A. Development Studio - Miku's POV]
"The ten million amulet finds a new owner once more! This time it's Setsuna Tok—No, wait! The frog girl from Class 1-A manages to steal it from the floating hand!"
"They just keep passing it around," Kyosuke said as he kept his focus on the small television. "Why would Metal's team even throw it away? The time is running out and they haven't tried to recover it once."
"It's not that hard to understand," Miku adjusted the edges of her white dress. "That amulet is a guaranteed pass to the next round, but it's also a beacon that will attract most teams in the field."
The woman leaned back against the wall before slightly lifting her hand and raising one finger at a time.
"The number of students, unknown Quirks, their possible combinations, and most importantly the restrictions placed upon the 'Knights' are too much for even Metal to manage. The game was clearly made in a way that would make the students depend on each other as much as possible."
'Analyzing battles brings back sooo many memories.'
Kyosuke nodded slightly at his wife's words before speaking up.
"Still, it's unlike Metal to throw the spotlight away like that, it goes against the objective Mei created him for."
"Team Mineta uses their size difference to turn into a tank! They're blocking Team Asui's path, though I wonder how the midget plans to steal the amulet!"
"Isn't that an insult?..."
"Guess we won't find out since Team Todoroki is making their move with only three minutes left on the clock!"
Miku leaned slightly forward as the camera focused on Todoroki as the student froze the area around him, though the woman's attention was on the blue blur in the background passing behind a student whose head seemed to be a blank speech bubble.
'I don't know what he's planning, but there's no way he's not aiming for the number one spot.'
"The ice king from Class 1-A freezes the competition and steals the big prize!"
"He didn't get rid of everyone yet, the same trick can only work so many times."
'I guess I should be getting ready...'
Miku let out a sigh as she stood up from the box she was sitting on before making her way to the exit of the workshop.
"Aren't you going to watch the end? It's about to finish anyway," Kyosuke said as he looked at his wife, who simply waved over her shoulder.
"Team Uraraka drops from the sky and gets the jump on Team Monoma!"
"I won't have time to change if I don't leave now. Besides, we already know who's going to win despite holding back."
"So you did notice, eh?"
"Of course, I know my grandson very well."
The woman chuckled as she pushed open the door of the workshop.
"He loves the attention, just like his mother."
---
[Sports Festival Stadium - Metal's POV]
"Are you sure this is a good idea?"
Toru asked as she clutched the amulets hanging from her neck.
"I'm sure we have enough points to pass with all these."
"One minute remaining! Team Todoroki is holding its ground, but will they be able to resist the barrage of limbs and the attacks from the living shadow?!"
"Despite not being able to attack either of the two directly, Yaoyorozu's creations are the only reason Todoroki hasn't been overwhelmed."
"Okay, but if you drop me, I swear I won't talk to you anymore."
Metal ignored Toru's colorful words as he focused on the teams around the arena; despite Todoroki's previous attack, a good chunk managed to avoid it or escape.
[Finding Optimal Position...
Optimal Position Found]
The machine slowly made his way towards the center of the arena, using the bodies of the frozen teams to remain out of sight until finally reaching a spot just a few meters away from Todoroki, who didn't realize due to being surrounded by floating limbs.
"Two minutes!"
"Screw it!"
"We don't have anything left to lose anyway!"
"W-Where is our amulet?!"
"Why do we only have two instead of three?!"
"The ten million points are our only chance!"
As the timer ticked down, more and more teams around the arena started closing in on Todoroki, some of them even passed by Metal's sides, but they didn't pay any attention to the robot in their desperation.
[Activating Back Thruster...
Overloading Flashbang]
Whirrr!
"One minute!"
Toru inhaled and exhaled as she concentrated.

Metal adjusted his grip on Toru as he grabbed the girl from below the armpits and held her over his head, then he bent his knees slightly before jumping high into the air.
The whole stadium seemed to come to a halt as the Symbol of Peace's voice echoed through the arena.
"All Might?!"
"Where?!"
"A special event?!"
All the students in the arena tilted their heads back to look upwards, but instead of finding their hero, all they saw was Metal with his hands above his head looking like an idiot with a bunch of amulets floating over his head.
"Has Team Hagakure decided to make a spirit bomb?!"
[Flashbang Ready For Release]
THWOOOM!
The blinding light coming from Metal's face warped like a blanket around Toru's back before making its way to the front of the girl's body and gathering in the center of her chest.
"Say cheeseee!!"
THWOOOOM!!
Toru's body turned into a miniature sun as the girl tried her hardest to focus all the light on the arena below her.
"MY EYES BURN!"
"I CAN'T SEE!"
"SHE TEMPORARILY BLINDED US!"
"TEMPORARILY?! I THINK WE'RE BLIND FOREVER!"
[Back Thruster: Ready For Burst]
Fwoosh!
Metal shot down from the sky while slightly lowering the now invisible girl, who held her right hand out.
Todoroki, despite being blinded, was still able to hear the approaching duo and reacted by putting his left forearm in front of him to cover the amulet. Unfortunately for him, the pain and lack of sight made his guard sloppy, allowing Toru to slip her hand and tear the amulet away from his neck in the short second she had to do so.
SHRRRRK!
The soles of Metal's shoes grinded against the ground until finally coming to a stop meters away from Todoroki's team.
"The amulet returns to its original owner with only thirty seconds left on the clock!"
Metal turned around to look at the other participants while adjusting Toru to hold her in a princess carry again. The forty students across the arena rubbed their eyelids and forced their eyes to open after hearing Present Mic's words.
"Get them!"
"Quick!"
"My eyes don't hurt, my eyes don't hurt, my eyes don't hurt."
"I'm tired, boss..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Your lame party tricks are nothing!"
"Twenty seconds!"
[Scanning...
Number of Immediate Threats: 4...5...6...]
Metal gave the order as he leaped back to avoid an explosion before having to step to the side as tape flew by.
"Got it!"
Toru took off the rest of the amulets they collected before throwing them into the air, effectively using the objects as bait.
"Deku! Push me!"
"Dark Shadow!"
"Shiozaki, your vines!"
"Team Hagakure has turned the center of the arena into a pit as everyone scrambles to get some points with only fifteen seconds left!"
"A good strategy since they don't need those points anymore, though there are still those going after the ten million."
"STOP FUCKING DODGING!"
Boom!
Boom!
Metal granted the request by rotating his torso to tank the explosion with his back which forced Bakugo to launch himself back so he wouldn't get stabbed by the quills on Metal's head.
SSSHHK!
"Shoto Todoroki traps the leading teams within an ice circle, though it's time to start that countdown!"
SSSHK!
Metal's torso went back to face the right direction as the robot jumped to the left, avoiding the ice spreading towards him.
"Come on, folks! Count with me! Ten!"
"I-I'm getting dizzy..."
Boom! Boom!
"Stop getting in the way, half-and-half bastard!"
"Nine!"
Bakugo shot towards Todoroki, this time with his right palm facing his classmate.
"Yaoyorozu!"
"Eight!"
Shimmering particles formed on Yaoyorozu's forearm as a shield appeared, which Todoroki quickly grabbed.
"Seven!"
Boom!
At the last second, Bakugo changed target again, shooting towards Metal.
VrrrRRRRM!
"Torque Over...."
"Metal! Behind you!"
"Six!"
"Recipro Burst!"
VRRRRMMM!
Metal's head rotated to watch as blue flames came out of the exhaust pipes on Iida's calves as the boy shot forward at an incredible speed while his teammate approached from the front, leaving Metal and Toru in the middle.
"Five!"
[Just a distraction, he cannot grab the amulet, but I will not risk losing my balance because of a hit.]
Metal's yellow lens seemed to disappear, leaving only the black color of his screen.
Vrm, THUD!!
"Ack!"
Iida fell on his back as a black crystal shaped like a small square appeared in front of him before disappearing after a second.
"Four!"
Boom! Boom!
"Stop pulling stuff out of your fucking ass!"

Metal threw Toru high into the air as his head spun back to face the same direction as his chest.
"Eeeek!"
"Three!"
Bakugo, seeing the amulet in the air, quickly moved his palms to face downwards, though just before the boy could release an explosion, Metal grabbed both of his hands and interlocked their fingers.
"Two!"
"What the fuck are you doing?!"
Pop! Pop! Pop!
[Current Speaker's Volume: 100% -> 25%]
Unbothered by the small explosions leaving Bakugo's palms, the machine started spinning around with his arms held in front of him, dragging the ash-blonde through the air even as the boy tried to break free.
"ONE! PUT YOUR PENCILS DOWN, EVERYONE!"
Metal stopped spinning and released Bakugo, making him fall straight onto his face, though he didn't pay any attention to that as he quickly jumped to catch the falling Toru just before she could crash into the ground.
...
...
"I think that's enough movement for one day..."
Toru grabbed onto Metal's shoulders for support as the robot put her down on her feet.
"Well, aren't you LadiesMan217?"
Metal's screen displayed a yellow question mark.
"Forget it."

Yo, angelo.
I hated writing this chapter, too many people, too many quirks, everytime i wrote something i just thought "But wait, can't that random dude do this?" and i had to go over it again and again.
now i understand why most fanfics stick to the canon or just breeze through this event, but whatever what is done is done, you guys can expect next chapter tomorrow too since i'm finally feeling better (thx for the nice comments btw).
as always feel free to correct anything if its sounds weird or smth.
