chapter 1: teleporting idiot

part 1

from the eyes of katsuki

Finally, I'm free of that damn Deku.
I look around the murmuring crowd of my opponents. I gotta make note of who to look out for, I can't let any of these losers get the jump on me. This is the UA University entrance exam, so I've got to stand out.
But before I can make any useful assessments, I notice a girl cutting through the crowd towards me. "Hey!" she calls, as she makes her way through the hoard of losers who will soon be crushed under my prowess. The only thing I see of her at first is a mess of long brown hair, but when she makes it over to me, standing only about a foot away from my face, I feel my eyes widen at the sight of her.
She stands at eye level with me, her bright green eyes gazing into me curiously, causing me to gulp nervously.
I can't help but glance up and down, noticing that not only is she in pajamas, but she's barefoot as well.
Ok, what the hell is going on? Did this idiot get lost on the way to the sleepy supermodel convention or something? She looks like a goddamn Disney princess, not a hero in training. And she pushed and shoved her way through the crowd just to get to me? Why? What the hell could a girl as attractive as this possibly have to say to me?
I narrow my eyes, not trusting this for a second. "What do you want?"
"Aren't you that sludge villain guy?" she asks, with a mischievous smirk.
Of course she's just here to taunt me.
"Get the hell away from me!" I yell.
She covers her giggling mouth, revealing a tattoo of a skull and swords on the back of her hand.
Is that related to her quirk, or is she just a tasteless idiot?
"I'm sorry," she laughs. "It's just, the whole situation was comedic gold, y'know, with your quirkless friend needing to step in when your quirk was supposedly so great? I giggle a little every time I remember it. You're like a celebrity to me! Can I get your autograph?"
I feel my eye twitch in fury, but as soon as I open my mouth to tell her to fucking kill herself, Present Mic's shrill voice echoes across the stadium.
"And begin!" he screams.
God damnit, I let her distract me. That's probably what she wanted, to take down the strongest competitor before the exam even started by getting in his head. Nice try, but I'm not falling for that shit.
I take off running, along with everyone else. The pestering girl is still next to me, so I sprint even faster to leave her behind.
If she wants to make fun of me, I'm going to assert my dominance right off the bat by being better than her in every way.
Take that, dumbass.
But just as I've made it in front of her, I catch a flash of green light in my peripheral vision.
Oh, god. Is her quirk gonna be as annoying as she is? Kill me now.
Another flash of light appears, this one about ten meters in front of me. Then, out of thin air, the stupid girl manifests out of the green. She looks back at me, salutes, then continues to dash ahead.
I was right, her quirk is annoying as fuck. A teleporter? Seriously? I only know of a few registered teleportation quirks in the world, and the cocky fucks are always prancing around singing about how rare their quirk is and blah blah blah. I'm surprised I haven't heard of her before, as full of themselves as her kind usually is.
I watch as the stupid girl reaches the robots before anyone else, gritting my teeth in annoyance. She snaps her fingers on her tattooed hand, and in a flash of green light, she appears on top of a three-pointer. The two-pointer adjacent to it senses her and tries to attack, but she flashes away just before they collide. They explode, destroying each other, and rewarding her 5 points.
God, she thinks she's the shit, doesn't she? She really is annoying. I mean, that seemed pretty effortless with a seamless execution, but that doesn't make her special. I'm better than her in every way, and I'll show her by blasting these things to kingdom come, and taking an indisputable first place.
I let loose at the robots, blasting them all away. It feels amazing to be able to use my quirk at full force, it's fun to see what I'm truly capable of. I blow up one, two, and three-pointers alike. Any one that steps foot in my path gets absolutely demolished in a blaze of fire. Within minutes, I've racked up 68 points.
I pause to catch my breath after a moment, then notice a group of three-pointers out in the open, away from everyone else. I rush over to them before any others have the chance, and leap in the air, using my blasts to propel me. I lift up my hands ready to blow the stupid machines sky high, but just as I'm suspended mid-air, I see a flash of green. And of course, the damn teleporting nuisance appears right in my line of fire. I hesitate, and before I can think, I fall to the ground, now on my hands and knees directly in front of the robot I was just about to attack. By the time I stand up, the solid metal of the giant thing is inches away from my face. The once weak looking, but now daunting mechanical beast looms over me, moving closer by the second. I try to raise my hands to defend myself, but I know I'm too late. I brace for impact.
Then, for a moment, I feel nothing but empty space around me. I feel no sense of temperature, no pull of gravity. The silence around me is deafening, and I'm blinded by a bright white light.

Did I just...?

The white light then turns to green, and I'm thrown back into reality.
I frantically whip my head from one shoulder to the other to check my surroundings, and see that I'm now standing on top of the three-pointer that almost crushed me to death. I look to my right, and see that irritating girl standing next to me. She's holding my arm, with an annoyingly excited smile on her stupidly attractive face.
I snatch my arm away. "What the hell was that?!" I yell, panting. I'm no wuss, but experiencing that void was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. I seriously thought I was in purgatory for a second there.
"You just glitched, brother!" she chuckles, then playfully punches the arm she was just holding. "No need to thank me."
I scoff. "Thank you?"
"You're welcome!" she says with a proud grin, then snaps her fingers and disappears.
"Wait that's not what I- ugh!" I propel myself into the air once again, this time blasting the hell out of these stupid hunks of metal.
And to my dismay, as soon as my feet hit the ground, the girl pops up next to me again.
I turn to her. "Why the hell would I thank you?!" I exclaim. "It was your fault I fell in the first place!"
"Well, I also saved you," she remarks, with a shrug. "So let's call it even."
"You did not-" I begin, but she vanishes before I can finish, just as suddenly and annoyingly as she appeared.
"It's all over!" Present Mic screams unnecessarily loud over the intercom.
I finish the exam with a total of 77 points. No one could possibly top that, not even that damn Glitch-girl.
