Of Flames And Quirks And Harmony

[18] Soar To The Top

AN:
Cutting through... Advancing to Sports fest real fast now.
Can someone guess if there would be a new Guardian in this ARC?
Who and what element would that be?
(I personally think it's pretty obvious🙄)
Also, don't mind thechapter number on the photo; I'm lazy.
Moving on...

"Hiieeee!" Tsuna's shrilly yelp filled his bedroom as he dodged bullets from his tutor. "But Reborn! Standing out would mean more attention!"

UA Sports Festival will be held in 2weeks. It is a competition where all departments of UA compete with each other divided by their school year. The winner will compete in the finals. It's a roundabout tournament based on school year. A free for all kind of fight to be at the top.

And here Reborn was demanding that he stand at the very top of the competition, disregarding his mafia status and plain powerful boy from a supposedley quirkless concentration town that is Namimori disguise.

"You need to. It's more likely you become a Pro-Hero by standing out."

"I'm aiming to be at least an underground hero like our homeroom teacher! That way it's easier to navigate with the mafia breathing down on my neck!" He tried wiggling his way out of Reborn's demands. There's no way no one wouldn't be suspicious of his prowess if he did a spectacular job at the sports festival. Its like hanging a big, bright neon sign that he has some funny business running under his palm.

"Good thinking. But I don't care. You are the Vongola Boss. I will not tolerate any loss," his devil advisor insisted.

He should've known Reborn wont budge.

"The whole competition will be broadcasted on international TV, thus revealing to the rival Famiglia's that the Big Boss is away having fun at school-"

"It's a good opportunity. The Vongola Boss as the crème of the crop, all while still being a good boss of the biggest and strongest mafia. They'd be more hesitant to attack, even if you're here in Japan."

"What if they attack the base and everyone's away on a mission?"

"You think I ever left the Fort?"

"Well, you're here right now... Oww!"

"Dame-Tsuna. Of course I'd only leave if Hibari is there."

"Kyoya is there?"

"Have you gone deaf?"

"Probably from Onii-san's extreme screaming."

"You're not wiggling your way out, Dame-Tsuna."

"What about the internship? Pro-heroes will watch and scout for possible interns and future sidekicks! I can't do hero jobs at the same time with mafia!"

"Already taken care of."

"How?"

"CEDEF Hero Agency, Sicily, Italy."

"EEHHH?!?!?!"

"Only in paper. We've distributed you and our alliances' vigilante works to the few crew there, including Mukuro and the Varia to make it qualified."

Tsuna had no other options left than resign his fate to Reborn's schemes. "I won't be doing hero work at this internship, wont I?"

"Of course not. You'll be personally attending paperwork and other dealings while you're there," his tutor smugly answered. "And it's better you intern at CEDEF. It's not that famous so you wouldn't gain much exposure. Aligns exactly with your underground hero demands, right? The sports fest is a pre-requisite in becoming a hero."
