The Butterfly And Caterpillar ||Eijiro Kirishima X FM!Reader||

とどろく群衆 || Roaring Crowd

I'm in the waiting room with the rest of the class just stretching and remembering the tactics I would be using "MAN, I really wanted to wear my costume," I look up to see Mina tugging on her costume. "To be fair, we can't." Ojiro says, also stretching. I overhear some students talking about the first rounds, and I shudder a little, I was so not ready for this.

Iida then opens the door, "Everyone, are you ready? Well, be entering soon!" He exclaims, which makes me groan lowly. "Midoriya," a monotone voice says. Everyone looks up to see Todoroki walking up to Midoriya. "Todoroki, what is it?" Midoriya asks, looking up at him.
"Look at things objectively, I think I'm stronger than you." He says without a stutter in his voice, my jaw drops, and my eyes widen. "Huh? Y-Yeah.." Midoriya manages to stutter out, "but... AllMight has an eye on you, doesn't he? I'm not trying to pry about that. But I'm going to beat you." He says, leaving Midoriya in shock, I mean, I would be too.

Kirishima gets up from his seat and walks up to Todoroki, putting a hand on his shoulder before saying, "Hey, hey, hey! Why are you picking a fight all of a sudden? Not now we're about to start." Todoroki shoves Kirishimas' hand off his shoulder."we're not here to play at being friends. So, what does it matter?" He questions before walking away.
"Todoroki, I don't know what you're thinking when you day you'll beat me, but of course you're better than me. I think you're more capable than most people.. Looking at it objectively..."
He speaks up but Kirishima puts his hands up a little and moves them to calm them both down "Midoriya, you probably shouldn't talk so negatively-" Kirishima says but Midoriya continues to talk "But, everyone-- the students from the other courses are aiming, I can't afford to fall behind. I'll be going for it with everything I have, too."

I crack my knuckles nervously as we walk through the dark looking hall thingy. The crowd outside of it was roaring loudly as we walked into their view. President Mics voice was echoing throughout the whole battlefield as we walked onto the grass. "There's so many people, might as well quit now." I mumble to myself, Mina chuckles at my response, and Kirishima turns his head to me."You're gonna do great. You totally owned me at the park yesterday!" He reassures with one of his bright smiles, which makes me nod my head. President Mic continues to announce classes from A-J, and the crowd keeps getting louder by the minute.

"Time for the players pledge!" A woman says from on top of a white stand, my eyes widen when I realize that it's the R-Rated hero Ms. Midnight, she sure made lots of people blush, in the crowd and outside of it. "Quiet, everyone! Representing the students is Katsuki Bakugo, from class 1-A!" Everyone turns to Bakugo as he just scoffs and walks up on the white stand and in front of the microphone.
"I pledge -" he begins, "that I'll be number one." He finishes, which makes everyone in our class shocked he'd say such a thing even though we expected it. This makes the other students from other classes boo at him, on with gray even wanted to resort to violence.

"Now, let's get started right away." Ms. Midnight exclaims, "Now here is the fateful first game! This year, it's this!" She says as the board says 'obstacle race'. She starts going over the rules and how the game will be played. "All classes will participate in this race. The course will be the outer circumference of this stadium-- about four kilometers! Our schools selling point is freedom! As long as you stay on the course, it doesn't matter what you do! Now, take your places, everyone!"

We all stand in front of a large door waiting for our signal to run in. The lights go out slowly, and Ms. Midnight yells for us to start, and this sends everyone running in. It was pretty crowded, so I made a large pillar move me across the tight space and into the outside where I could finally take little breather. Todoroki kept turning the ground slippery by putting ice over it, so I had to make some rock ground drag me through the ice. I stop in my tracks when I see a large shadow hovering over me.
