Enigma

The Ball Part 3 and Battles

Celeste pulled back defensively and kicked elegantly over his head, the breeze shifting his hair. He dodged under her leg and grabbed her arm, making her struggle in his grasp as he made her shuffle back.

"Come on Princess." He teased as she whipped her arm back and twirled around. "Show me what you got."

She went for a cabecada (headbutt) but quickly switched out for a cartwheel and a roll, swishing her legs under the boys and pinning him down under her heel.

"That enough for-" she gasped as he grabbed her foot and pulled her down into a split on top of him.

"More than enough." He said, helping the girl up. Celeste took his hand and they danced and talked the rest of the night. The next morning they returned to U.A via Celeste's quirk and went to class, as if they had never left.

Class 1-A was introduced to the fact that the Sports Fest was coming up, their opportunity to show hiring pros what they could do. They began to train for the event, working harder to master moves than before.

When the day arrived, they were all hyped and nervous to compete with each other, but determined. They started off with an obstacle race, of which as soon as it started, Celeste jumped into one of her rifts and appeared in front of the finish line in a heartbeat. She watched as Todorki, Bakugoua and Midoriya argued for the top stop, unknowing that she had already made it.

"AND IZUKU MIDORIYA CROSSES THE FINISH LINE, WITH KATS- WAIT?! THERES ALREADY SOMEONE THERE?!" She heard Present Mic announce as the greenette finally approached the checkered line. "CELESTE GRIFFIN CAME IN FIRST? HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN THERE?"

It seemed no one but the sleeping teacher beside the announcer had noticed the girl at the finish line, despite her walking through the ribbon.

She was awarded first place, with a screaming Bakugou cursing at her in third. Next with the cavalry battle she was teamed up with a few of the other girls from her class as they fought to keep their ribbon safe. As they came across Shinsou's team the two faced off.

"Come on princess! I don't want to hurt you!"

"You wish you could Toshi!"

"Bad move." he said as she fell under his mind control. She was brought to her mental plane, staring at the boy blankly as their teams halted with their fighting.

"So what now?"

"Well..." She said, moving her bangs from her eyes, showing her golden pupils. "Your going down..."

Shinsou broke his control as her horns broke through her hair in the physical plane and her team charged forward, plowing through his group. He was still standing however, and reached back to where his ribbon was and cursed himself when it wasn't there. Celeste's wirey tail held the red fabric in it's grasp as she laughed. "Sorry Toshi!"

Todoroki's team ended up winning the cavalry battle, but not without a harsh fight from Celeste's team, who had come in second.

Finally, the student battles were lined up and all of the classes waited in the locker rooms, set list posted on the walls of their battles.

"Who's Monoma?" Celeste asked Mina, finding her name on the list.

The pinkette looked at her with a gross face.

"The Weasel Rat of 1-B, you'll beat him but he's an asshole."

"Who me?" The two girls heard from behind them as they turned with a cringe. A brunette boy stood behind them, suit on with a tailcoat. "You must be Celeste! My new rival! Wow! I hope you actually put up a fight since you didn't even have a quirk at the start of the year!"

"OI!" Another voice said breaking the boy's confidence. "Leave her alone."

Shinsou appeared from behind the silverette and crossed him arms, as the brunette looked at him nervously.

"At least I don't have the quirk of a villain." He saaid making the purplette's breath hitch in his throat. Celeste felt her anger bubble up as she started yelling at the brunette violently until a redhead girl from his class, smacked him on the head and dragged him away. Mina left to grab the girl a waterbottle to her throat, leaving her with Shinsou.

"Damn you really went off on him."

"He deserved it! How dare he!" She cursed angrily, kicking the garbage can next to her. "What an asshole!"

Shinsou pat her head affectionately and she pressed her forehead to his shoulder in exhaustion.

"It's ok Princess."

"You really like that name don't you."

"Yep. If no one here will treat you like the royalty you are, I will."

"Toshi please don't do that, I came here to live a normal life, not a royal one." Celeste pleaded, taking his hand. "You're my best friend, please don't let me regret showing you my other side."

Shinsou tilted her chin up to him and looked at her reassuringly.

"You never will. I promise."

They hugged and Monoma walked past them with his head held high.

"Princess huh? You are a privileged 1-A loser, I expected nothing less."

He stepped into the arena and Shinsou flipped him off as she walked towards the opening.
