10. The Sports Festival: Part One

A/N: Just a heads up, I changed the format of the sports festival to better fit the flow of the story. I hope it doesn't bother anyone!

"The Sports Festival is soon, are you nervous?" Dabi asked.

{You were dreaming again. Dabi hadn't appeared in your dreams for a while and if felt strange to be reminded of his presence.}

"Of course....." you said, looking down into your teacup nervously. "I've dreamed of participating since I was a kid. I just want to prove myself."

"Well, using it as a ploy to get Endeavor's attention is one hell of a plan." Dabi praised. "If you get under his mentorship, you'll be close enough for the kill." He smirked. "Murdered by an apprentice.....that's such a fantastic end for him."

"How do you want me to go about that?" You asked, shifting nervously. "The....uh.....killing?"

"Slow. Painful. Drawn out." Dabi mused. "Preferably full of suffering."

"Do you really think I can take him down?" You asked.

"Of course," Dabi said. "But if you don't feel ready, there's no rush. Do his mentorship, learn from him, become a sidekick or whatever. But as soon as you are strong enough, waste the bastard. He's the #2 hero, I'm not expecting you to single handedly take down the guy." He shrugged, "Besides, there's probably some of my friends more than willing to help you."

"Friends?" You repeated. Dabi had mentioned them before, the real one, before he had died. You suspected they were important.

"That's not important right now," he waved you off with his scarred hand. "Just focusing on the festival."

"Right....." you said, your brain still trying to piece together his words.

"Oh and another thing, If you by any chance encounter any of his family......" Dabi smiled darkly. "Well, there's more than one way to break a man...."

{The day of the sports festival arrived quickly, and before you knew it, you and the class of 1-A were being packed into a stadium filled with a roaring crowd.

Despite being fully rested, you felt absolutely exhausted after experiencing strange feverish dreams. You knew you met with the vestige that night but you couldn't for the life of you remember what you had talked about. It left you edgy and exhausted to think about.}

You, Izuku and class 1-A, 1-B were in the center of the stadium. Everywhere, cameras panned over the crowds and onlookers, showing the sheer amount of people in the audience and the students here to perform for them.

Izuku nudged you, "Lots of people, huh?"

"So many," you said cracking a smile.

"How do you feel? Excited?" He asked.

You laughed nervously, "Somewhere between vomiting and crying."

Izuku laughed, "Already!? It's just the opening ceremony!"

"All right everyone! Gather around!" Midnight demanded, snapping her whip.

The cameras focused on her as her voice called the attention of the masses.

"Welcome to the first year competition of the U.A Sports Festival!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and hollering, the excitement palpable.

Midnight continued, "This year, each of you will be split into a different event based on your strengths displayed throughout the semester. She snapped her fingers and the electronic T.V above the stage lit up displaying three different competitions. "You'll either be chosen to compete in an obstacle course, a cavalry battle or a duel. The top winners of each portion will be presented with medals!"
