Chapter 15: The Sports Festival Begins

2 weeks had passed by and during that time, you and your classmates prepared both your bodies and minds for whatever challenges U.A had planned.

Since Goku found out about the U.A Sports Festival, he had extra training lessons to prepare you. The Sports Festival typically went by rounds with little time for breaks in between. This meant you would have to preserve your energy and stamina throughout the entire thing.

U.A Stadium: Locker Rooms

You were currently waiting to be called out by the Teachers so that the Festival could begin. Since some Hero Costumes had built in support items and such, they were prohibited. Everyone had to wear the U.A Gym uniforms for the sake of fairness.

Ashido: Aw, man...I was totally hoping that I could wear my costume...

Ojiro: At least everyone will be in uniforms. That'll make things fair, right?

Sato: I wonder what they have in store for us in the first round...

Tokoyami: No matter what they've prepared, we must persevere.

Shoji: Right...

Meanwhile, you were sitting at one of the tables with Inasa. The two of you were discussing the Festival and how he was excited.

Inasa: The U.A Sports Festival is finally here! I can't wait to see what the other classes can do! How are you feeling, L/N?

Y/N: Honestly...it's ironic...I spent most of my life trying to live a normal one. I didn't really like my power that much because of that...but...now that I'm attending a Hero School, about to compete in the U.A Sports Festival...it makes me...excited! I can't explain it, but can't stop smiling!

All of a sudden the door swung wide open as Iida came in, yelling to the class as usual. At this point you had gotten quite used to it.

Iida: Everyone! Get your game faces on! We're entering the Arena soon!

Y/N: I guess that's our cue...you ready, Yoarashi?

Inasa: You bet!

Todoroki: Midoriya...

Everyone in the room then drew their attention to Todoroki who had approached Midoriya, looking in dead in the eyes before speaking once more.

Todoroki: ...From on objective standpoint, I think it's fairly clear that I'm stronger than you.

Midoriya: Uh...um, Yeah...

Todoroki: However...you've got All Might in your corner helping you out. I'm not here to pry about what's going on between you two...but know that I will beat you.

Kaminari: Ugh...what's with all these declarations of war lately...?

Y/N: What's his deal—huh?

Looking over to Inasa, you saw that he has a cold stare towards Todoroki. You hadn't seen him like this since the Entrance Exam. Needless to say that you didn't like seeing him with a face like that.

You knew that Inasa didn't exactly like Todoroki, so you didn't say anything. Instead you decided to approach the two of them and try to ease the atmosphere.

Little did you know that it would only make things worse.

Y/N: Hey, cool it, Todoroki. I don't know why you're suddenly being so hostile, but you've gotta back off. This is a Sports Festival, not some fight to the death.

Kirishima: Yeah, why are you pickin' a fight all of a sudden, and right before we get started?

Todoroki: We're not here to be each other's friends...don't forget, this isn't a team effort.

With that he turned his back towards you and Midoriya and started walking away. Midoriya simply looked at the floor before talking back to Todoroki, which was a rare thing for Midoriya to do. This caused Todoroki to stop and look back.

Midoriya: Wait a sec, Todoroki...I don't know what's going through your head and why you'd think you need to tell me that you'll beat me...and yeah, of course you're better than me. In fact you probably have more potential than anyone in the Hero Course. It's why you got in so easily...

Kirishima: Midoriya, maybe you're being a little hard on yourself...and us.

Midoriya: No. He's right you guys. All the other courses...they're coming for us with everything they've got. We're all gonna have to fight to stand out. And I'll be aiming for the top too...

Y/N: ...

Todoroki: Fine.

Bakugo: Tch!

In that moment, despite The Sports Festival not even starting yet, The Flames of War had already been ignited amongst our class. Little did I know that this would only be the beginning.

Time Skip

Talking to the audience through a screen and speakers, Present Mic was on commentary for this special event just like in the Entrance Exam. The Audience Roared in excitement and anticipation.

Present Mic: I've only got one question before we start this show! Are you ready?! Let me hear you scream as our students make their way to the main stage!!

Once again the Audience went wild. At the same time, the first year classes throughout all of U.A began to walk into the spotlight.

The Crowed kept cheering, fireworks went off everywhere, your class was the first to emerge from the halls and enter the Arena. Present Mic hyping up the class the entire time as you walked.

Present Mic: This first group are no strangers to the spotlight! You know them for withstanding a Villain attack, they're the dazzling students lighting up your TVs with solid gold skills! That's right! It's The Hero Course students of Class 1-A!

As you made your way to the center of Arena with your class, you all looked around to see just how many people were watching. It wasn't too much of a surprise considering it's the biggest competition in the entire world, but it was still crazy to see so many people in one place in person.

Y/N: Holy Crap...I knew The Sports Festival was popular but this is crazy...!!

Midoriya: U-Uh...I didn't know there'd be so many people...!!

Iida: I hope we're still able to give our best performances even though all these eyes are watching us. I suppose it's just another aspect of being a Hero we all have to get used to.

Kirishima: Present Mic sure did talk us up a lot...kinda makes me nervous...*looks to Bakugo* how you feeling, man?

Bakugo: I'm not worried. Makes me wanna win this thing even more!

As you spoke amongst yourselves, the other classes also began to make their way into the Arena. Bakugo hadn't left the best impression on one of their students, but you were hoping that you could make up for it.

Present Mic: They haven't been getting nearly as much screentime, but this next group is still chock full of talent! Welcome, Hero Course Class 1-B! Next up, General Studies Classes C, D, and E! Support Classes F, G, and H! And finally The Business Classes I, J, and K! Give it up for all of U.A's first year contestants!!

Once all of the students had been gathered, everyone stood in a red square in the Center of the Arena. Standing before all of you was Midnight. The R-Rated Hero. Yes, that's her actual title.

Midnight: Now the introductory speech can begin!

Kirishima: Uhh...someone should talk to Mrs. Midnight about what she's wearing...

Kaminari: Yeah that costume should come with a warning...

Tokoyami: Is it really appropriate apparel for a High School Game...?

Y/N: No.

Midnight: Silence, everyone! And for the student pledge, we have...Katsuki Bakugo!

Y/N: NO.

Midoriya: U-Uh...he's the first year rep...?!

Sero: I guess that hot-head did finish first in the Entrance Tests...

Random Irrelevant Student: *Sighs*...only for the Hero Course Exams...

Y/N: Who the hell are you—

Midoriya: Oh...right.

Sero: That girl obviously hates us...

Kaminari: Yeah well we've got Bakugo to thank for them not liking our class...

Bakugo walked up to the Microphone, Midnight, along with every student below awaited whatever Bakugo had to say.

Bakugo: ...I just wanna say...I'm gonna win.

Y/N: NO!!!

Class 1-A: I KNEW HE'D SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!

Needless to say that Bakugo's words made for a lot of booing in the crowd of students. The worst part was, he didn't seem to care at all.

Iida: WHY WOULD YOU BE SO DISRESPECTFUL?! YOU'RE REPRESENTING US ALL!!

Bakugo: It's not my fault the rest of you are just stepping stones to my victory.

Y/N: GAAAAH!! I'M GONNA KILL HIM!!

Tetsutetsu: I'M GONNA CRUSH THIS OVERCONFIDENT JERK! I CAN'T WAIT TO KNOCK HIM DOWN A SIZE!!!

All of a sudden the contents shown on TV screen above changed to the words "First Game" as Midnight continued to speak to the crowd.

Midnight: Without further ado, it's time for us to get started! This is where you begin feeling the pain! The first faithful game of the Festival! What could it be?

As Midnight said those words, a slot machine appeared on the screen above and began to spin chaotically. A few seconds went by before it eventually landed on the words "Obstacle Race".

Midnight: Ta-dah!

Midoriya: So it's gonna be an Obstacle Course...

Midnight: All 11 classes will participate in this treacherous contest. The track is four kilometers around the outside of the Stadium. I don't wanna restrain anyone, at least not in this game...*licks lips*...as long as you don't leave the course...you're free to do whatever your heart desires!! Now then, take your places, Contestants!

Y/N: A Race, Huh...? Alright, I'll have to be careful. I've got 4 kilometers to run and roughly 30 seconds worth of flight time. I'll have to use it wisely...

With that, every student began to prepare for the upcoming race. It may only be a race in the first round, but your blood was pumping with excitement.
