A Heroic Heart and Tired One Too (Discontinued)

8: Obstacle Course

---------------------Chapter Start---------------------------------------------

We're all here waiting for the signal to start running. I gotta figure out what i can do, considering that absorbing anything here is nigh impossible. I have to keep an eye on Todoroki. He's up to something.

"Obstacle Course Start!" midnight loudly proclaims. Just as I thought, he freezes the ground behind him, freezing several students including me. I quickly use my quirk to thaw out and start running. I should save the big guns for later, so I start absorbing air as I run. I quickly catch up to Todoroki, trying to freeze the ground near me to slow me down.

"Good thinking staying behind you guys! Here goes my killer move!" Mineta says, reaching for his head to pluck one of his ball thingies.

"Grape-!" He's cut off by a robot punching him several meters away. Robots from the entrance exam are here. Greeeeeeat. Todoroki freezes a zero pointer and I merely began calculating what to do. That should work.

"Sorry about this guys." I say.

"Sorry for what?" Ojiro ask. I dispel a large amount of the absorbed air through the vents in my shoes propelling me high in the air, as well as creating a mist cloud due to Todoroki's ice. I'm high enough that I can absorb enough to safely cross the rope thing up ahead. As I begin to fall, I angle myself and rocket downwards.

"IN ONE HUGE JUMP GISHEIKYO HAS CLEARED THE ROBOT INFERNO! WHAT SORT OF QUIRK IS THAT?!" Present Mic asks as He sees me landing by shooting out water from my hand to slow the impact. I rolled to keep momentum and kept running. Aizawa I swear to all that is good in this world, PLEASE do not tell them what my quirk is on live television.

"His quirk is an odd one I'll tell you that. But he manages to make it work is all I'll say about it." Aizawa responds. I breathe a sigh of relief and keep on running. I catch up to Todoroki, and I'm so focused on dodging attacks that I misstep and a pink explosion goes off in my face.

"~cough~ ~cough~ The fuck was that?" I say, waving away the smoke. Some sort of minefield up. These explosions could be useful. So I can do something about them. I was about to step forward when I suddenly fell to my knees. What the hell, what now?! I look to my right arm and notice it's encased in a large chunk of ice. Fuckin Todoroki. I began to get up, and slowly made my way deliberately stepping on the mines, and absorbing the energy given off them. Eventually, I use half of the stored charge to blast off the ice on my arm. I see Midoriya soaring overhead on a piece of the robots early. Todoroki creates a path of ice behind him and pursues Midoriya as does Bakugo by targeting her too. I laugh as all the pieces have come into play.

"Hopefully this works and that watching Bakugou do this pays off." I say as I step on the Ice and aim my hands downwards behinds me, launching me forward and depleting my other explosive charge. Just in time, since Midoriya had triggered a ton of Explosions to distract Bakugou and Todoroki. Damn it, I've depleted all the resources I had at my disposal so I can't use any to boost myself further. ANd I'm starting to get sleepy too. I slap myself to keep myself awake and running. The stadium is just up ahead.

"And in first place is . . . IZUKA MIDOROYAAAAA!" Present Mic yells. I get in the stadium the same time as Bakugou, earning us a shared 3rd place. I stop to catch my breath and noticed Midoriya was trying to stop the floodgates from happening, but failing miserably.

"Hey,~pant~ I'm impressed at your ingenuity there ~wheeze~, Midoriya!" I say. Resting my hand on my knees and still trying to catch my breath.

"T-Thanks Gisheikyo. Truth b-be told I didn't expect that to work . . ." Midoriya starts.

"But it did. Only you could have thought of something like that and make it work." I say, smiling softly at her. Midoriya covered her face with her hands in embarrassment and told me to stop it.

"Hm. Someone's not up for too many compliments are they." I say, crossing my arms as Midoriya was quickly trying to explain herself.

"I kid I kid. Cmon let's go see what Midnight has to say.

Midnight announces that the next event is the Cavalry Battle. Midnight also decides to explain the point system.

"And just so you know the first place participant is worth 10 Million Points!" She declares with the flick of whatever that thing in her hand is called. I turned to look at Midoriya as did everyone else. 10 Million is a lot, so I'm sure she'll be targeted. Eh, who cares, I'll still prolly team up with her anyway.
