Obstacle

  It was another week until 1A returned to class. Another two weeks after that for the Sports Festival to start. Izuku had spent that time training, improving his Eighth style, and meditating to improve his connection to the Force. He'd found that when he used the purified lightsaber, Izuku's speed and technique drastically improved. He could sense the very air around the shimmering white blade, every molecule that the energy cleaved through.

  The White lightsaber became Izuku's main weapon for any situation, just because his connection to the purified kyber crystal was so much stronger than the green and blue ones. Once he took it's twin from Sin, he was sure that bond would only strengthen.

  That is why Izuku went into the Sports Festival confidently. Because he'd made the lightsabers himself, Izuku was allowed to bring one with him during the events.

  To the crowd's delight, Midnight was the main announcer, assisted by Present Mic in the booth.

  The heroine stood up on a stage, cracking her whip.

  "Would the first year representative, Izuku Midoriya, please come to the stage!" She said.

  Izuku walked up to stand beside his teacher confidently, accepting the microphone with a smile.

  "I'm not the best at speeches.. so I'll just tell everyone to do their best, no matter your quirk! Some of you are heroes in training, others are inventors. No matter who you are, you should be going Plus Ultra! Show the world what you're made of!" He shouted.

  "PLUS ULTRA!" The crowd of heroes and alike students cheered.

  Izuku returned to stand beside his classmates, and a large wheel was trundled along behind Midnight.

  "Now, let's find out what the first event will be!"

  The wheel began spinning behind the heroine.

  "The first event is.. an Obstacle Course! It's a free for all event, where you will exit the tunnel behind you, race around the perimeter of the stadium dodging obstacles, and return through the tunnel for the finish line!" She announced.

  Present Mic then took over, his voice echoing through the speakers all around the stadium.

  "Alright Listeners, to your positions!! I'm joined today in the announcer's booth by class 1A's Eraserhead! So Eraser, who do you think we should keep an eye on?" He asked.

  Izuku stepped to the side of the crowd of first years. The first obstacle was the tunnel itself.

  "The hero course students have the advantage, but I wouldn't count out the inventors, or the tacticians. There is one student that comes to mind that is all three though." Aizawa said.

  Midnight called the start of the event, and Izuku jumped, running easily along the wall like it was nothing.

  *An attack from below? Ah, ice on the floor. Clever, but not good enough.*

  Izuku exited the tunnel, landing gracefully on the ice.

  "SHOTO TODOROKI FREEZES THE COMPETITION IN ONE MOVE!! But what's this?? Izuku Midoriya clears the obstacle with ease, and pulls ahead of 1A's top student!!"

  Todoroki sent a barrage of ice at Izuku, but the greenette didn't even look back, a flash of white leaving the ice carved up and melting at the edges.

  "Todoroki may have sheer power on his side, but that's pretty much completely negated by Midoriya's fine control over his own brute force." Aizawa said.

  Izuku's eyes narrowed, glancing to the right. He drew his lightsaber again and carved the three pointer in two.

  "Looks like Midoriya's just found the first obstacle! It's the Robo Inferno!!! Also, what's that shiny sword he's got?" Present Mic said.

  Izuku charged another three robots, cleaving them in two in one swipe. He spun around, pushing off a robot's body and slicing a robot in half from the head down.

  "Looks like he's revealing his lightsaber early on." Aizawa commented. "New colour though. Wonder why."

  "Isn't that a little unfair? Letting him have a weapon?" Present Mic asked.

  Izuku kept running even as an army of zero pointers rose from the ground. He'd just hold them still as he passed beneath their legs.

  "Not really. Midoriya built the thing himself, and even Powerloader's struggled to replicate it. The rules say that if a student builds support gear themselves they can have it. It just didn't specify which course." Aizawa explained.

  Izuku released his hold on the zero pointers and continued running, stashing his lightsaber back into his sleeve.

  "And Midoriya clears the first obstacle!! He's coming up on the second one now... The Fall!!!" Present Mic screeched.

  Izuku didn't slow down, closing his eyes and hopping onto the ropes, continuing his sprint over the canyon.

  "WHOAH!! Did you see that Eraser?? He closed his eyes!! And he's running on the ropes!! What the heck dude!?"

  Izuku chuckled to himself, opening his eyes when he reached the end of the Fall, not slowing down at all. He could keep this pace up all day if he had to.

  "And Midoriya reaches the final obstacle! WATCH OUT, IT'S A MINEFIELD!!!" Present Mic yelled.

  Izuku reached out with the Force, picking up small clumps of earth from the minefield. He jumped up onto the first one, and hopped across to the second. A few seconds after he left, the earth fell back onto the mines behind him.

  Izuku picked up clumps of dirt before him, and dropped them once he passed, seemingly running on air over the mines.

  "Midoriya completely bypasses the minefield!! How is he doing that???" Present Mic asked.

  "He's running on dirt he picks up with his Telekinesis. Midoriya hasn't even used half his tricks yet." Aizawa drawled.

  Izuku crossed the finish line with a grin on his face.
