{GATHER 'ROUND , MASS MEDIA! THIS YEAR, ALL YOUR FAVORITE HIGHSCHOOL KIDS WILL LET THEIR YOUTH RUN FREE LIKE A BUCKING BRONCO ONCE AGAIN...}
{THE U.A SPORTS FESTIVAL HAS BEGUN! EVERBODY, ARE. YOU. READY!!!???}
{IT'S THE FRESHMAN STAGE!}
{THE STUDENTS ARE MAKING THEIR ENTRY NOW!}
Yoshiki stood up from his seat letting Toru hung on his body like a Koala, stretching his hands.
"That's our cue."
Katsuki cracked his neck, "Seems like it."
Izuku led the march outside the waiting room.
"Let's go, Class 1-A!"
"""YEAH!!!"""
Present Mic ranted off about the greatness of the school and the younglings participating for today's events, citing off the news that happened 2 weeks prior this. He got the attention of the audience who hung like sheep to his words, cheering only when he wanted them.
Soon, Midnight came out attracting the gazes of not only men, even the women or even somebody's wife. She exudes the casual sexiness of somebody who is used to seducing people as a hobby.
"Her outfit is so nice ain't it?" Yoshiki joked but got pinched on the side by Toru instead.
Izuku on the other hand seemed possess rambling on and on about any and all Heroes he saw that he could actually name. What kind of fucked up shit is that? In his rambling, he missed the call for the freshman representative which happened to be the ace of physical examination, who also happened to be him.
Katsuki actually had to kick him forward for him to get out of his own rambling.
"Oh no, I'm really sorry!"
He apologized and went up to the podium overlooking the medias, students, families who came to watch their kids lose badly, Heroes who wanted to scout a prospect for their agency, some businessmen.
Iida was crying tears, "He deserve that spot! He really is—!"
Other students from other courses was giving him the "eyes" saying, "Only in Heroics Exam."
To which Yoshiki countered saying Izuku was among top 10 even in assessments exams, prompting them to shut up and listen to Izuku instead.
On the podium, Izuku took a deep breath.
Everybody waited in baited breath for what he was about to say.
"Good day, watchers. To all of us here today to my friends and classmates, to those who are watching on their homes– Mom, Dad. I am proud to be standing here today as the representative speaker."
Pausing, he looked at each of them and continued.
"To my competitors, we have all trained hard," he looked at Yoshiki, "...well, most of us did."
"Today is not just any day. Today is the day to show to each and everyone our skills, our talents, to show off how much we have improved, and most of all... it is to show how we never gave up. Two weeks ago, our Class faced off with some of the vilest individuals living in this country. Criminals who torments people for fun, some because they want to, some who are forced under the threat of those who are stronger."
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening it again.
"WE! I! YOU AND ME! ALL OF US! LET US SHOW THEM OUR FIGHTING SPIRITS! LET'S SHOW THEM THAT DESPITE EVERYTHING, WE STILL STOOD TALL! WE ARE STILL HERE! WE. ARE. HERE!!!!"
What came after was not the common claps you get from delivering speeches. It was the roars of each and everyone in the stadium who had been enthralled by his words. Bowing, he jumped off the stage, landing over the roaring voices of the students, cheering for his name, the U.A. and a little bit of this and that.
Amidst the roaring of the students, Aizawa stood smiling beside a shouting Present Mic, looking every bit of a proud dad.
'Not bad, kid...'
After, Midnight explained the first round which happened to be an obstacle race. The twist is that... wait, there are no twist, it's an obstacle race, you have to understand that there would be 'obstacles' along the way.
"It's a race between 11 classes! The course makes a nearly 4KM ring around this stadium!"
"You are all free to do anything as long as you remain within this course!"
She hits the air with her whip, creating a cracking sound.
"What are you all waiting for..? Let's get cracking... on your marks..."
Almost everybody prepared while Shinso started chatting with people left and right.
"STTTTTTAAAAAAAAARRRRTTTTT!!!!!!"
Izuku sped up ahead of everyone, already using Black Whip to get ahead while Katsuki blasted off from the ground pushing everyone aside, some had even been deafened by the blast. All around everybody was elbowing, clogging up the passage way. It is everyone for themselves until Todoroki froze everybody on the spot. Combined with the fact that he was already mad earlier, the frost reached up to their waste.
Shinso clicked his tongue shouting at Todoroki who casually thrashed all his hardwork.
It was cold everywhere that Yoshiki was practically blind due to the way his eyes kept getting blocked by the coldness. Even Toru who was still clinging to him like a Koala started shaking all over. He had to gouge his way out by jumping over people, elbowing them, sometimes kneeing somebody on the back of their head.
Once out, his sight cleared only to dodge an incoming giant head of a 0-pointer robot from the exam.
It crashed heavily on the ground, spraying bits of frost and dirt all around that he had to cover his eyes.
"Holy shit!"
Looking forward, he saw it was Izuku who had smashed the head from all the way over here in hopes of stopping Katsuki who was gaining on him but instead of stopping, Katsuki maneuvered around it and added another force of impact from a massive blast making it crash towards Yoshiki instead.
Seeing as they were already far ahead, Yoshiki started speeding that he started to catch up to Todoroki who was gliding on ice. Seeing him gaining distance even with a parasite on his back (Toru), Todoroki gritted his teeth and started to form an ice wall blocking the path ahead.
To make up for it, Yoshiki repositioned Toru in front of him so he can shield her with his body as he all but crashed towards the ice wall, ramming himself shoulder first so hard that it actually broke off the structure.
The stadium was full of shouts at that display of strength that Aizawa himself had to explain how that happened.
Taking a drowsy tone, he explained Yoshiki's Quirk.
"His Quirk is 'Human' it basically grants him the ability of humans."
"Huh?"
To say that the audience were dumbfounded by that short answer was an understatement. That didn't explain anything at all.
Aizawa seeing that they didn't get it, he had to click his tongue.
"We are all Humans are we not? We can do all kinds of things. Specially at this day and age, just by training, even without a strength enhancing Quirk, you could punch through a concrete, move as fast as a bullet, all that stuff. It's just that for him, those are all brought to a whole new level."
That explanation brought a clear view to how much potential Yoshiki has in the future. The Pro Heroes who went for scouting started considering in getting him for themselves. The Todoroki kid was already a no-go. Everybody knows it's a lost battle to take him off his Father's agency, yet they tried anyways.
Little did they know, Halfsie here is on his rebellious phase and somebody is going to be lucky soon enough. Or not, who knows?
Soon enough, Yoshiki caught up to Todoroki who tried freezing him upon sight. He slapped his hand off before it could touch him.
"Racist much? I'm not even black."
"I'm not–"
Before he could continue, Yoshiki beat him into it. "Invisible Strike!"
He didn't know what happened but something hit him on the gut making him stumble and with the speed he was going at, it wasn't long before he ended up skidding on the ground.
Yoshiki took this opportunity to speed up, leaving Todoroki in the dust, his laugh echoing in the distance accompanied by another mysteriously cute voice.
{Approaching the Second Phase! We haveeee..... THHHEEEE FAAAAALLLL!!!}
The Fall was basically just columns of stones that reaches so far down that you can't even see the bottom of it. They were stationed close to each other tied only with ropes serving as the way to reach the other side.
At first Izuku and Katsuki were neck and neck without Izuku suing Full Cowling, using only the enhanced physique from OFA, not to mention that using both Black Whip and Full Cowling at the same time is painful. They were shoving at each other when they had the time, Katsuki only stayed off ground though, Izuku kept interfering on his path with a whip but Katsuki dodged all of it and blasting away those that he can't.
Seeing 'The Fall', Izuku knew he won't be able to catch up with Katsuki, and oh boy, did Katsuki knew that.
"I'm already fired up!" Katsuki said in midair, prompting Izuku to look at him. What he saw made his eyes go wide.
Katsuki was planning to go all out once he saw Katsuki holding his other hand closed into a fist.
'That's–'
A.P. SHOT!!!!
Unfortunately for him, Black Whip was fast, it latched onto Katsuki's legs before he could go. Instead of it snapping, it instead dragged Izuku along the way. Katsuki noticed and stopped mid way the obstacle course and blasted away the Black Whip encroaching from the other side and shaking off the hold on his leg making Izuku fall off.
Before he could fall of into the abyss, he managed to hold onto a rope using Black Whip, he used it as a momentum and swung his way upwards yet Katsuki was already far away.
He had to grit his teeth and swing himself out of 'The Fall' into 'The Mine Field'.
Katsuki was almost already out of there so he was left to use Full Cowling to catch up. He was using the force of his flicks to decrease the distance. Soon he was running and using the bombs to add in more force.
They back neck to neck again but they were already out of 'The Mine Field'.
And that–
Was a huge factor.
With his speed he easily overtake Katsuki and crossed the finish line first.
He was only brought back to the real world amidst the cheers of everyone and Katsuki's pat on his back. He had lost himself thinking only about winning that he forgot about everything. That kind of focus was really awesome, or not. You decide.
