Fourteen
-End of Day-
"What the hell are you doing?" I ask the crowd of people in front of the 1-A's classroom. I try to make my way through, it works a little.
"Ya know, I came over to see what all the hype was about," I hear Shinso say, he's in this too? "Seems like all of you are a bunch of arrogant assholes." Dear Roku, what the hell are you doing Shinso "There's lots of kids who wind up in the General Studies and other Courses because they fail to get into the heroic one; did you know that? And based on the results of the Sports Festival, people can even get under review to be transferred into the Hero Course; the reverse can be applied too." I make my way to the front as Shinso continues "Scoping out the competition huh? If nothing else, a gen ed kid like me is thinking 'hey, why don't I try pulling the rug out from under those hero students while they're on their high horses." Shinso gives a smirk "Consider this a declaration of war."
"Are you in this too Azi?" Shoto asks, causing Toya to look directly at me.
I give my own smirk "My goal isn't the Hero Course right now, but" my smirk becomes more mischievous "I do enjoy a game of ego knocking."
"Hey! I'm from Class 1-B next door!!" a guy with gray hair yells from the middle "Heard you guys fought some villains. Wanted to find out more, but all I'm seeing is this arrogant bastard!! You better not make a fool of the Hero Course at this thing!!"
This will be fun.
-Day of the Festival-
"Hey Azula," Shinso walks up to me in our class's waiting room "Let's show the Hero Course that we aren't here to play around."
I give him a smirk "Gladly." In the weeks since, I've explained to him why my identity is a secret, though not about being a villain. I don't plan to tell anyone about that unless absolutely necessary.
"It's the UA's Sports Festival!!" I hear Mic's voice ring out "The one time each year our fledgling heroes compete in a ruthless grand battle!!"
"Let's get going." I say, a beanie practically glued to my head. Don't need it falling off during this.
"First up: you know who I'm talkin' about!!" Mic continues "The miraculous rising stars who brushed off a villain attack with their steely will power!! The first years of course!!! CLASS 1-A!!" of course they get a big welcome, honestly I don't care.
"-following Class B it's Classes C,D, and E of General Studies!! And here come Support Course Classes F, G, and H and the business course..."
"We're just here to make the others look good." one of my classmates says, followed by another "Hard to get motivated..." Hard? Nah, just makes it more entertaining when I whoop their asses.
"Now for the Athlete's oath!!" The R-Rated Hero: Midnight says, doesn't she normally reffing the Third Yeahs?
"Pipe down!! Your student representative is- Bakugo Katsuki!" she announces as Boom Boom Bitch walks on stage. "Whaaa? It's Kacchan?!" I hear Midoriya exclaim.
"Must be because he placed first in the entrance exam." someone else comments
"The Hero Course Entrance Exam you mean." one of my peers corrected.
"The Athlete's oath; make no mistake about it. I'm gonna take first place!!" Bakugo says, causing everyone else to get riled up. It's a shame I'm not aiming for first as well, otherwise it would be amazing to see his look when I kick his ass.
"Now, without any delay, let's get the first event started." Midnight says "These are the qualifiers! It's in this stage that so many are sent home crying every year!! And the fateful first event this year is-" she gestures to the screen behind her "This!!" an obstacle course huh?
"Want to kind of team up for this?" Shinso asks "Since we're the only ones really taking this seriously."
"Hmm, maybe next round." I wink as Midnight yells "START!"
Almost immediately we crowd in the tunnel, jeez this isn't Black Friday. Suddenly the air gets colder and the floor in front of me turns to ice, freezing most of my competitors. My element, "Later Bitches!" I smirk, maneuvering easily on the ice. Seems like I'm not the only one that isn't phased by the ice, but I'm the one that is having an easier time, not their fault nor my problem.
"Come on 'Roki, you can do better than that." I smirk only to be stopped by robots "Every obstacle course needs obstacles!!" Mic calls out "Starting with the first barrier: Robo Inferno!!" so this is what the majority were against in the entrance exam. What to do- "...especially because dear old Dad is watching." huh? Shoto freezes the bots, clearly only stable for a few seconds. "Later!" I call running between the gaps before Shoto could really finish.
"1-C's Azula takes advantage of 1-A's Todoroki's path before he could and the bot's colapts blocking everyone else, really cold of them!"
"Azula huh?" Shoto remarks running beside me, "Yeah, problem with that?" I ask before almost falling off the ledge "Jeasus fucking Christ!" I yell "I kno nothing off the table but murder isn't legal."
I hear a chuckle beside me with an explosion in the back. "Well, later!" I salute Shoto before almost running across the rope like a mad man. As long that I keep my ice platforms hidden while I use them and melt them as soon as I'm done I should be good.
"Look at Azula go!! She is just running across like it's solid ground! How is she doing it?!" my secret Mix and mine alone.
Time for the last task, a fucking landmine. It's not hard to see where they are, the majority being in the front. Bit of a problem for those in the lead. It'll be fine, "Haha this crap can't slow me down!!" oh great "Oh fuck off chihuahua!" I yell at him. I mean, I don't mind not getting one of the top sports, but I got a bit of a competitive edge.
I back off a bit, allowing those two to fight, I mean if they are not careful they might set one of the- BOOOOOM
"What the fucking hell?!" I yell, looking behind me. "A giant explosion from behind?! What caused such a blast?!" Mic yells "An accident? Or was it intentional? And Class !'s Midoriya rides the wave in hot pursuit!!" Holy Shit! Know what, fuck this. I start running faster and a bit more carelessly. Honestly I barely miss quite a few, "Deku!! Get the hell back here!!" Bakugo yells.
Come on Azula, get third at least. I get on Todoroki's ice path, using a bit of fire from my right side to propel me a bit more.
"Later!!" I yell to Bakugo as I pass him a bit but neck and neck with Shoto as Midoriya causes another explosion to propel him, I'm crazy so I just run through. Almost there, almost- "The one who made it back to the stadium first is none other than Midoriya Izuku!! Followed by Todoroki Shoto then Azula closed behind him."
Third place, I'll take it without a doubt. I place my hands on my knees to catch my breath a little, looks like I need to work more on my endurance. I could probably ask Twice for help with that. "Phew." I lean back a little as more people cross the finish line.
"Nice job Azula." Shinso says, walking over.
"Azula." I turn around to see Shoto "I need to talk with you after this round."
"Where's your manners 'Roki?" I smirk "Didn't your sister teach ya better?" I then start walking towards Midnight, "-and now the main selection really begins!!" she says "The press corp's going to be jumping out of their seats, so give it all you've got! Now the second event!! I already know what it is, of course. Dying in suspense?! Next up is- This!!" a cavalry battle huh. Next will probably be the PvP Brackets.
"Azula," Todoroki walks up to me after Midnight explains the rules "let's team up. Please."
ooo tempting, I noticed Shinso a few steps behind him "You did say please, but I'm sticking with my classmates. So not this time." I walk past my twin and over to Shinso. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to team up with my twin, we'd be unstoppable for the most part even if it was just us two. But I'm not ready to reveal myself to him yet.
"Thought I'd have to mind control him to leave you alone." Shinso remarks when I get over to him.
"I think he's just trying to connect the dots about me." I sigh, glancing over at my twin as he talks with his classmates "I mean, I did kinda give some hints, ish, with some of my remarks and I did use my quirk a little."
"You have a quirk?" Shinso asks "Kind of thought you didn't since you never mentioned it."
"I'm not a show off." I shrug.
Soon we have our team, though I suspect Shinso used his quirk, Brainwashing, on all of them but me. I'm not one to talk about morals for the most part. "Let's focus on getting smaller points and staying undetected." Shinso says from his spot as our rider, after I convinced him to do it since I got both mobility and strength.
"Sounds like a plan." I say as the match begins.
–To after the match–
"Nice job out there." Shinso remarks as he gets off. "You too." I smile a bit.
"Now let's see who our top 4 are!" Mic announces "In first we have Team Todoroki! In Second is Team Bakugo!! In third place, Team Tesute- wait huh!? Hey, it's Team Shinso?!! What's up with ya sneaking up like that?!"
"Thanks for the help, boys." I smirk at the two hero students that are now freed from Shinso's quirk.
"And Fourth Place, Team Midoriya!" Mic continues "The first four teams will move on to the final event, now step forward!
"The event will be after an hour lunch break! See you then!!" Mic says before talking to Earaserhead.
"Man, that was fun." I grin, walking with Shinso back to the school.
"You think that was fun?" he remarks, giving a weird look "I'm surprised you were still able to carry me with how you were after the race."
"Just been a while since I've done any endurance training." I shrug.
"You are making it sound so easy."
"It's not that easy." I give a sheepish laugh.
