„You can't go into hero course, general course is where you will stay, where you will find your people." „My people?" , she shouted.„I don't have people, nowhere. I am an outsider in general just as I am in hero course." „So why go there?" , Aizawa asked. „I will prove myself, I will show everyone that I am not labelled under villain but hero. I will prove to them that my quirk is not evil." „But that is dangerous Cana! You are save in general, you're not in the news or out on the streets, they won't find you that way." „I don't care about anyone seeing me! Perfect if they find me! Everyone should see me! That I am still standing and NOT hiding." „I won't agree to that." „That's fine, I don't need your help. You know, I thought you would always have my back, but that's fine. It's me against the world, isn't it?"
...Sports festival is the place to prove yourself, everyone knew that. Easy thing for hero course students. They always think they are the greatest and they show that to everyone. Everyone else has to prove that they are worth something that they are just as good as the others. Cana and Hitoshi stood there, waiting for it to start just like everyone else. „We will win, we will show them," Shinsou said. „We will."
Cana is like a still wind. She knows what she is doing, knows her plans into deep detail. Anyone who opposes her suffers a failure that has long been predicted. Through her Quirk she knows everything, she knows what you are doing, what you are planning. She can judge you better than you can yourself. In a fight against her, you have already sealed your failure with your first thought.
It was a chaos of thoughts that she had to organize. Who was the greatest opponents, what where their greatest strengths? She had inspected the students beforehand. Shoto Todoroki from hero course was the strongest and good with tactics. She knew his plan. Cana dodged and ran. Everything she had to do for now. She knew the obstacles, had read it in midnights mind. But just knowledge wont help her, she had to have a plan, had to know everything. She held herself back, let the others do the work, make the way free. She would have easily made it under best 40, but that wasn't enough. First place or nothing, that's what she promised Shinsou. She wasn't fighting for only herself, but for him too. Outsiders labelled as villains. She ran full force, pushed others out the way when necessarie and played with their thoughts to slow them down. Until the mine field came. She watched the route the other took, listened to their memnories about the mines, where they were and when the first three were out of the field, it was her turn. It was like a knive in their heads. Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugo fell to their feet, as Cana ran. Soon she was in front of them, when they regained their speed. But too late. Cana already finished the race.
Of course the hero students were a complecant group. While Midoriya seemed rather melancholic, Bakugo was enraged. He nearly punched Cana, nearly punched Midoriya. „You are an arrogant brat." „I AM WHAT? YOU LITTLE GRANNY CAN GO HOME, I WILL WIN AND SHOW YOU-"„Granny?" Cana laughed. Her hair was white, nice joke. „You are an angry pomeranian, just look at you, you can't even admit to your failure." FAILUREFAILUREFAILURE . Cana was confused for a second. Were this his thoughts?
She knew everything. Nearly. What she didn't know was that there was now a bounty on her head that everyone was going after. "Are we going to group up?" Shinsou asked her, while she tried to analyze the people around them. "Let me think for a sec." He waited patiently. "Okay I have a plan."
The plan was easy. Just dodge and run. She sat on Shinsous back, giving orders where to go and what to do. Everyone was always after them. Endeavers son and that angry boy were probably the most dangerous. If she couldn't her his thoughts screaming over the whole field, she wouldn't have known from which direction he wanted to jump at her. But she could use all of the people following them against each other. Bakugo was constantly jumping in the fighting line of literally everyone, making it easier for Canas team to hold their stand till the time ran up.
...
"Your fighting that brocoli boy?" "Guess so, any tips?" Cana eyed Shinsou critically. "It will be easy, he will talk." Turns out it wasn't that easy. Shinsou lost, but as Cana went for her fight, she was more confident than ever that she would win just because she had to. Her fight was against Mina Ashido. She knew not that much about that girl, only that her acid would give Cana the rest. As Cana took her stand she noticed that the girl was really excited to fight under so many people. Thats one of the bad things of her quirk, one of the many. She was too sensible for the other peoples hearts. Would it hurt to loose? Probably. And Cana would know how bad she had hurt her opponent. Would hear the thoughts about the others failure. But that was a burden she had to live with. Both of them. Ashido attacked her with some acid, but Cana dodged, already knowing where Ashidos weak point would be. The breaking point to end this meaningless shit.
...
"That girl from general is a really good fighter, don't you think bro?", Kirishima asked. "Why should I care?", Bakugo answered angrily. "Your right Eijiro!", Izuku exclaimed. "She seems to know where her opponent will strike, and her movements are always on point. I wonder what her quirk is." "Maybe she can see the future!" "Maybe something about fighting knowledge!" "Maybe-"
...
"Aizawa told me what you are doing here little bird." Hawks thoughts rang inside her head long before his voice did. She mustered him, seeming unfazed. He leaned on the wall, waiting for her to finally find him. "Your words won't matter when your head tells me that's a great idea. But you know that, right?" He chuckled. "Of course I do, but I couldn't let Aizawa down. He does not want you in danger." "You want me neither and still you let me do my things." "That's not the same. I agree with Aizawa that it's a stupid idea or dream or whatever it is. I am just proud that you decide to still do it, do everything for it." "That's nice of you to say. I know she will win. Be safe.
...
„Wtf do you mean I am going to fight that Granny from general?" „Calm down Bakugo, she seems not really strong I mean we don't know her Quirk,but you will win." „Of course I will win, but this final fight should have been something special!"
...
They stood under the eyes of thousands of people, all of them cheering for one of them. Cana's head began to hurt, but she had to keep it together, she couldn't loose. „Start!" Her opponent, the angry boy from hero course, ran to her. Left. She dodged. And puched where he wouldn't calculate with. High ground, then her head. Again he couldn't reach her while she hit him again and again. He grew angrier, tried to hit her faster and harder, but he touched her not a single time before she catapultet him over the line.
