The quirkless hero

Sports festival

A/n if you already read this check the end as I originally only posted half the chapter by accident.

"And now a speech from of first year representative, the kid who blew away entrance exam records. IZUKU MIDORYIA!" Boomed Present Mic.

Taking his queue izuku made his way up onto the small podium, the crowd around him cheered bellowed but he blocked them out focusing only in the voices he recognized. 25 members of the Ares gang had been able to score illusive tickets to the UA sports festival, including Jason, Jenny, Duke and Daniel, all of them where cheering him on.

Izuku reached the mic then hesitated for a second before deciding on what to say, "my whole life I've been told I'll never amount to anything because im quirkless." At this the audience seem to collectively gasp before breaking out into muttering, ignoring this izuku continued, "and many of you will agree to that sentiment. That's why Im going prove you wrong."

"YOU STICK IT TO THOSES FUCKERS" roared Jenny from her seat in the crowd causing Izuku to grin as he turned and left the podium.

An obstacle race wasn't ideal for izuku, especially without his gear, however it didn't have to be perfect for him to fit his plan.

"You ready?" He asked ochako and lida.

"START" yelled mic causing most of the students to start running. Only 3 stayed behind. Izuku quickly crouched down so ochaco could get on his back. When she did he could barley feel her there as she'd already used her quirk on herself she then used it on him too and he got on Lidas back.

"You sure you can manage me too?" Asked lida and ochaco nodded before taping him so the three began to float.

"Full power ahead lida," commanded izuku with a grin and Lidas engines sputtered into life sending the three rocketing forwards.

They quickly reached the zero pointers and izuku was able to guide them through overtaking most of the other students. The   Hole they had to pass caused no problems at all and they shot past Bakugo and todoroki causing Present mic to exclaim in shock. Theyd just about cleared the mines when they tumbled to the ground and Ochaco threw up. Izuku held her hair out the way and lida patted her back until mic said, "with the leading three stopped Bakugo and todoroki are catching up."

"You guys go ahead," said Ochaco but izuku was already crouched infront of her.

"Can you help her get on my back lida" asked izuku.

"But I won't be able to use my quirk for another couple of minutes," protested ochaco, "I'll slow you down."

"We arnt leaving you behind," chastised lida as he helped her on to Izukus back, "what kind of hero's would we be?"

The second she was secured izuku took of running, even with the extra weight he was able to maintain a reasonable pace that lida matched running next to him. They where incredibly close to the finish line but he could hear Bakugo and todoroki so he pushed himself to the limit causing lida (who wasn't using his quirk as he'd overused his a bit too) to barley be able to keep up.

"AND IN FIRST PLACE IS IZUKU MIDORYIA FOLLOWED BY OCHACO URARAKA AND TENYA LIDA! FOUTH BAKUGO KATSUKI FITH SHOTO TODOROKI! WHAT SHOCKING RESULTS FOAKS, I GUESS IZUKUS ALREADY PROVING HIS POINT!" Mic shouted into his mic.

Izuku sat down heavily and once again held Ochacos hair so her sick wouldn't get on it. While lida panted heavily next to them.

Even though he was exhausted too izuku couldn't help but smile after all that was the first event won, and he was only getting started.

The one million point headband he now wore rested heavily on his subconscious. He knew it made him a target now more than ever.

"We will stick with you!" Assured Ochaco, lida nodding along beside her.

"My headband is a big enough target on its own, with your second and third place ones aswell every team would go for us." Izuku muttered, "we'd be setting up for failure. I think we'd do better each set up a team that can best protect the headband we've been given. I want us to get through after all."

"But that just means we won't be targeted, you will still be the focus of most teams." Countered lida his arms waving furiously.

"I can take them." replied izuku with a smirk.

"If we arnt on the same team, we might have to fight each other." Said Ochaco unsurely.

"Yes and if that happens just don't hold back." Grinned izuku.

At this the pair grinned back at him and replied, "never!"

"Momo, Tokoyami and your class 1Bs Kuroiro right? Could you join my team please? I have a plan." Asked midoryia.

"Was that stunt in the obstacle course also one of your plans?" Asked Kuroiro.

"Yes." Admitted izuku.

"Then why not?" Replied Kuroiro smiling.

"I'm in too," said Momo, "if anyone can ensure our victory it's you Izuku."

"Especially since he's actually learned our names now," added tokoyami.

"Sorry it took me so long," izuku apologized. To be fair he hadn't seen them as anything more than hero wannabes at first, so had no reason to learn there names, but they had grown on him since then.

"Right the plan." He continued as the others huddled around. "Tokoyami and Kuroiro, both your quirks are better suited to the dark, and the dark has no effect on me because I can't see anyway. That's where you come in Momo. The second the round starts I want you to create as many smoke bombs as you can and throw them all. Do you thing you can make enough to cover the whole of the playing field?"

"Yes, that shouldn't be too hard," agreed Momo.

"If you can at that point make yourself a pair and Tokoyami pairs of night vision goggles, me and kuroiro won't need them. That will allow Tokoyami, Kuroiro to perform at our strongest."

"Yes dark shadow revels in the darkness," added Tokoyami while kuroiro nodded.

"At that point we split up, and collect as maa as many headbands as possible. Just make sure you don't leave the smoke screen or get to close to bakugo. No one can know we've split up."

"I'm supposed to be the scheming hero," muttered kuroiro with a grin, "but it seems I'll need to up my game in future to keep up with you."

"A devious plan to be sure," affirmed Tokoyami.

And it was, the plan worked perfectly with Momo being able to completely cover the arena much to Mics shock. Then just as planned they split up and started grabbing head bands, the other teams had no idea what to do and mostly stumbled around blindly some tried to clear the smoke but Momo went above and beyond creating more and more. Bakugo used explosions to fly above the smoke to try and see what was going on but by the time he'd gotten up he'd already lost his headband.

At the time up shout from mic Momo created some giant fans to blow the smoke away, revealing izuku to the crowd. He sat atop his teams shoulders wearing every single headband and a shiteating grin.

"WHAT?" roared mic, "ONE TEAM HOLDS ALL THE HEADBANDS, THIS IS A FIRST IN SPORTS FESTIVAL HISTORY! WHAT HAPPENS NOW? SURELY THEY CANT BE THE ONLY ONES TO PASS!"

The solution was a re-run of the battle without Izukus team to find out who would join them in the finals. All in all izuku was feeling pretty good. He had this festival under control.
