It is the night before the sports festival, and when my lovely brain won't stop thinking. I am hoping that all of my studying and nonexistent training will pay off just enough that I will get noticed but not stand out because I don't want to attract unwanted attention. 

 Before I knew it, the sun was rising, and it was the day of the sports festival. I walked into class, already hearing everyone's excited chatter, wishing I could relate, but I didn't. Plus, it seemed too much work to care for, and I was not qualified. Momo was walking towards me and smiled. "Hey, Dazai, how are you this morning?" I sighed into my words. "I'm fine. I had a rough night and couldn't sleep." My hand reached to the back of my neck. Her smile faltered, and she looked concerned but brushed it off. "I'm also nervous, but I remembered what you said, and it helped me. I can also make some tea to help wake you up." My other hand goes up, dismissing her offer. "Oh no, I can not accept the tea. I do not want to be a hassle before the games." She nodded and started walking to the changing area, and I followed.  

The time of the sports festival has arrived and of course. The first task was an obstacle course that deals with strength, speed, and stamina. If I could, I would completely blow this and lose out, but then I would be kicked out of the class, and that's game over. I was too busy sulking to notice a girl walking up to me. "Uh, Dazai, you will do great. I know this is not your robust suite, but you can devise some plan!" I felt her hand reassuringly touch my shoulder, but I dismissed it. "Thank you for your lovely words of encouragement, but I can not accept such compassion. If I fail, then I will surely be kicked." In sulking, I hear encouraging words from Momo's mouth, but I can not bear to listen. The only thing that can distract me now is thinking about Bakugo's speech. I predict that he will win this whole thing but will leave dissatisfied.  

The green lights dimming is our countdown

Everyone started sprinting to the gate. As the announcers Hizashi and Aizwawa, paid attention to the gate, they noticed a person standing still. "Why isn't Dazai moving through the gate? Doesn't he know that the game has started?" the voice boomed from the press box. Luckily, his teacher was there to back him up. "No, he does know that the race has started, but he is waiting. Til the crowd dies down so he can pass the mob." 

After a few more seconds, I started to walk through, seeing as Todoroki had already iced the ground. I walked by the embarrassingly uncoordinated people. Like how am I passing them? I see a purple-haired guy getting carried by other boys who look brain-dead; that is interesting.  

The ground shakes, and those giant robots block the view, hitting Meneta out of the air more. I sneaked to the front without any of the big competitors noticing. 

"OOH!!! Enemies have shown up out of nowhere! I bet we are in for a treat! A test of strength and cunning! IT'S A ROBO INFERNO" 

 Wow. I would hate to be Todoroki right now. "Are those the 0-pointers from the practical?" Yes, it appears to be Kaminari's way of stating the obvious. All the robots are towering over Todoroki. I wonder how bad it would hurt if it fell and crushed me. Probably a lot. "where does the school get all this funding?" I agree; where does this come from? Let us digress. Todoroki just froze all of the robots, but they seem off-balanced. I will make a run for it when everyone is in awe. 

" Be careful. I froze them when they were off their balance." 

And just as I passed through, the robots collapsed. What can I say about perfect timing? 

"THAT CLASS 1A TODOROKI PULLING AHEAD TO AN EARLY LEAD WITH A DEVASTATING DISPLAY!AMAZING! HE'S ONE TO WATCH; THAT'S FOR SURE ALMOST SEEMS UNFAIR. THOUGHTS"
