The Multi-Powered King

Chapter Three: The games have begun! More friends, or more foes?

~Two weeks later~

As Raiu walked down the hall, he was approached by Momo. “Hey, Igarashi. Heading over to the stadium?” She asked as she walked beside him.

“Yeah. I heard the preliminaries are starting soon, and I don't wanna miss that!” Raiu exclaimed excitedly as they ventured down the hall.

Momo chuckled lightly, amused by Raiu's excited energy. “You sure seem to like this idea.”

“I don't know what it is, but I just want to fight someone really strong! Someone who can really challenge me!”

-First year stage-

As Raiu stood at the stage, he heard Present Mic shout with excitement. “Gather around, mass media! Today is the day you've all been waiting for! You'll see all our raging adolescent power on display for all of your entertainment and scouting purposes!” Present Mic yelled as Aizawa groaned in annoyance.

“Shut up. You're so loud.” Aizawa said as he pulled out an apple sauce pouch, sucking it up in one go. “Just get this started already.” He said tiredly.

On the first year stage, Raiu stared ahead, a determined look on his face. Izuku stood in front of Raiu as he stared back with the same determined face.

“Ro! Sham! Bo!” They shouted as they formed different symbols with their hands. Izuku had his fingers split like a pair of scissors while Raiu's hand was curled into a fist like a rock.

“Ha!” Raiu exclaimed as he punched his brother, who now had a few bruises. “I win again!” It was a game they'd play together. Instead of normal Rock Paper Scissors (roshambo), they'd punch the loser. Izuku often lost, telling from the amount of red spots and bruises on his arms.

“Can we play something else?” Izuku asked, a defeated edge to his voice. “I need my arms to fight, and I can't do that if you break them.” He complained.

Raiu just sighed. “Good point. Hmmmm…” Raiu hummed thoughtfully as he rubbed his chin. He turned to Midnight when he heard her speak.

“Greetings, Class 1-A, and welcome to the U.A sports festival!” Midnight shouted excitedly as she gathered the attention of the students. “It's time to do the athletes oath. Your representative, from class 1-A, RAIU IGARASHI!” She finished as a blush spread across her face as Raiu walked up, his hands in his pockets. When he stood beside Midnight, he turned and a thick blue aura exploded across the stadium, just like back in the classroom.

“I'll be the one to win, I’ll be sure of it.” Raiu stated as everyone in the stands went wild from the show of power. The other classes looked at the stage and shivered. It wasn't going to be easy winning this tournament. Not with a force like Raiu on the field.

‘I think I know how to get him out of the running.’ Shinso thought as he stared at Raiu.

As Raiu left the stage, Midnight spoke. “Who's ready for our first event? Up now, it's the obstacle course! Each student has to make it around the track once, but be warned, that's no easy task with obstacles in the way.” She said as the students lined up at the starting point. When they heard the buzzer, they all shot off, some taking more ground than others. In the lead, Raiu, Izuku, Katsuki, Katsumi, and Todoroki ran ahead, trying to get in front of each other.

“You'll never win against me!” Katsuki yelled as he used his explosions to jump ahead.

“Oh no you don't!” Izuku roared, using One for All to power his legs, rapidly sprinting ahead to catch up.

“Ha! This'll be fun!” Raiu shouted as he summoned a sword and began to surf it through the air.

“Wait for me!” Katsumi exclaimed, using her flame control to form jets at her feet and hands, rocketing her forward to the four.
