Horkit (COTE)

Sports festival A.K.A My slick back~!

You wanna know what time it is?

"IT'S SPORTS FESTIVAL TIME, BITCHES!!!" My yell, startling my classmates and it echoing throughout the entire field. I smugly grin as I could literally see and feel my older brother and Chabashira-sensei somewhere out there facepalming. "Horikita! Language!" I quickly gave Hirata beside me an unimpressed look as he tries scold me thinking he Captain America. 'I can do this all day' head-ass.

"Also, why do you have a Bluetooth speaker?" He then decided to ask me. Great, now everyone's eyes are set on me. Guess, I have to deliver some exposition.

I placed the speaker on a table underneath a tent and coughed as to garner the attention of everyone. "Ya see, this isn't just any Bluetooth speaker! This is our secret weapon and our ticket for winning! Behold! Feast your eyes on!...BT-1000!" I grandiosely presented the speaker with jazz hands. Ta-dah~!

Everyone only gave me silence and strange looks. Until I hear Mei-Yu Wang chuckle lightheartedly. "Heh! You're funny, Horikita." The girl beside her, Kei karuizawa interjected with her own comment. "More like weird." Hmph! They just don't get it! But they soon will!

BT-1000 is a loud, but fairly wireless Bluetooth speaker colored in blue and white. I would call it R2-D2 but I don't wanna get copyrighted so I opted to call the lil' guy BT-1000.

Anyways, so yeah, apparently we're doing the sports festival while being teamed up with Class-A and Sudo is our class's leader.

Personally, I don't care for the sports festival all that much to be honest but if it were a singing competition, then I'd all up in this thing! 'Bout to have me as the next Rihanna. Big-ass forehead not included.

Anyways, after some yappin' about Class A and some small issues about motivating some lazy people, the first one up we have is a group challenge for the boys, Topple the Pole. Between the scientific classes of D and A (pun intended) vs the complete opposites of Class B and C.

From what I gathered, Sudo's team put up quite a fight at first, but quickly got overwhelmed which ended the with our team eating a big L. Meh. Skill issue. Git better.

Meanwhile for us girls, we were having a hurdle race. But it wasn't just any normal hurdle race, no, no, no! I was supposed to be doing it with another person simultaneously with our legs tied. It was about as hard as it sounded since my slow-ass teammate can't keep up with the flow.

Thankfully, the hurdle race ended with no fatal injuries whatsoever but Ryuen must've thought that he was slick since he must've been the one to order his female classmate to purposely sabotage and slow me down. Don't think that I didn't feel and notice the times that she purposely slowed me down even though she was doing perfectly fine many moments beforehand.

And once again, fortunately things didn't end with any fatal injuries (unless you count being punished by Ryuen as one) since I handled the situation pretty well otherwise, my teammate would have a free ticket to a Michael Jackson concert. And so in the end of the hurdle race, I could finally stray away from my teammate like the side character that she is.

Apologies, I'm just so excited for those individual challenges so that I would hog that spotlight all to myself! Not that I dislike working with other people mind you, but it's just that I'm more of an Independent kinda gal, if you know what I mean. But I always gotta humble myself at times like this, you know, and not to get too ahead of myself. I'm not Koenji.

Next I had to do was the 100 and 200 meter sprint. I see people in the crowd with anticipated and excited looks on their faces, looking forward to this sprint or race or whatever it is. But did people really think that this was going to be some normal kind of competition? That all is gonna go perfectly fine and dandy? With me present? HA!

As I kneel onto a readying position at the start of the track and await the indicator to go, I smile smugly as I prepare to show everyone just what I'm all about and why I brought BT-1000 here!

"START!" I hear the announcer yell as everyone on the track ran without any hesitation. As I was turning the first corner, I quickly but exhaustingly order BT-1000 through the air pod I had in my left right ear. The rules never said anything about that so I'm taking advantage of this loophole while I can!

"BT! Play 'A Pimp Named Slickback' by Lakim!" What I said confused some of my competetors but BT-1000 does exactly what I say and everyone was caught off guard by the sudden sound of music that was coming from my Bluetooth speaker. I grin huge as I continue to run along the track. Then, the lyrics came.

🎶🎵No, n*gga I'm a pimp name Slickback! Pimp named Slickback-back!🎵🎶 Pimp named, pimp named, pimp named Slickback!🎵🎶

The song played aloud while I was flawlessly doing the Slick-back dance I saw on social media around the corners of the track. I admit, I've been practicing how to do that for a long time! And I was glad that all that practice paid off! (I totally didn't practice the Slickback dance for so long just for this moment). I failed to hold the smirk I had at the reactions from the crowd ranging from baffled, to weirded-out and even amused.

In the end, I emerged victorious of the race. Like I said, I'm the total package, for real. And although people around me continue to cheer me on, I could hear at the corner of my earshot Chabashira-sensei sighing and saying, "I swear, you're gonna be the death of me, one day."

As the day progressed on and more challenges were complete, the sun began to set and people began to rest. But that wasn't the end of it all, folks! Because there was a crazy twist! Of course there was! What else could anyone expect from the same school that enrolls actual convicted criminals? (Lookin' at you Class C).

The school had presented one final surprise challenge to end the sports festival. Apparently this one is going to be held at the Gymnasium. It was a easy, but dangerous one. They call it 'Capture the headband.' A play-on of 'Capture the flag.'

So the game goes like this: One person alone is gonna wear a headband and the rest of everyone else are gonna try to capture that said headband. And we're allowed to use any means necessary to attack or defend. If whoever person manages to hold onto the headband for approximately 5 minutes, the prize would be a helluva lot of school points all to themself. 100.000 points to be exact.

Everyone was understandably shook. Even I was surprised. Everyone watched as Chabashira-sensei stood front with a glass box filled with small pieces of paper and she dipped her hand in. This was how they were going to determine the one who's gonna hold the headband.

Everyone stands and stares intensely and anxiously as Chabashira-Sensei finally picked up a piece of paper from the see-through box that felt like an eternity. A grin formed her lips. "And the holder of the headband is...Horikita Suzune!"

And immediately after that announcement, everyone eyes began boring into me like a pack of hyenas. Although on the outside, I remain as expressionless as ever, but truly I felt like I wanted the ground to just swallow me hole. So this must be how Deku felt when he got that 10 million headband during that Sports Festival arc.

I gulp as I look around, seeing that I'm completely surrounded by enemies now. I don't know why, but I let out a chuckle. Perhaps out of the severity of this situation I'm in, or perhaps the confidence was seeping back into me. Yep, it was definitely the latter.

This might be it. Before I go into my villain arc! I'm already feelin' myself! And then something just snapped! Something inside of me! I didn't care anymore!

I took a deep breath and showed Chabashira-sensei eyes ridden and smile filled with determination.

"Bring it on!"
