"Icarus?" Iida asked.
"Yeah! Mom said it fit me pretty well." Yukino replied.
Kirishima clenched his fist before saying, "Going through such a harrowing experience, but still finding the strength to be a hero! That's so manly!"
The redhead had taken the news about Yukino's past surprisingly well. Though, they had to prevent him from trying to find Izado's home address, but it all worked out in the end!
Currently, the trio were preparing for the first match in the sports festival. Apparently, it was some kind of race. As of to make matters worse, Bakugo had called out every single student there.
"Hey! Ice Witch!"
"Oh God damn it- hey Bakugo. What do you want?" Yukino asked, uninterested.
Or at least, he wasn't until the blonde said, "You better not get in my way like that shitty Deku, or you'll choke on my smoke!"
"...."
Yukino smirked at Iida, who immediately shook his head. However, seeing as how little brothers are designed to be mean, Yukino ignored him.
"Don't threaten me with a good time, Kachaan~"

Tensei laughed slightly as he patrolled the area. Riku just did something he would approve of, he could feel it.

As soon as the Midnight gave the word, Yukino was off. Instead of using his own ice, he vaulted himself over Todoroki's ice, and used it to his advantage. His feet were already specially designed to run on slick surfaces, so using the ice to skate on wasn't an issue. He hardly looked back when he heard Iida hit the ground.
"Nice try, Todoroki, but you won't take me out that easily!" Yukino yelled.
Once he was clear, he broke into a sprint...... only to have to dodge as a large metal fist swung at him.
"It's time for- ROBO INFERNO!" Present Mic shouted.
"Shit!" Yukino cursed, spotting a large number of zero pointers from the entrance exam.
A large wave of ice covered one of them, creating a gigantic obstacle. Yukino looked forward to see Todoroki getting a running start. Not a bad strategy, but it could use some work.
"You all seem to fail to notice something. I froze it when it was off balance.", he said.
Just as the words left his mouth, the zero pointer began to tip over. With a swipe of his hand, Yukino propped it up with a glacier of his own. More people would be getting through, but it was better than getting crushed.
"Okay, that didn't go as planned, but I can still-" Yukino began, but was quickly cut off by the feeling of being weightless.
And then he fell into a pit. Why was there a pit? There were several frozen convicts laughing their butts off. Not wasting anymore time, he quickly generated large amounts of snow. Not enough to allow him to fly like Bakugo, but it was enough to keep him from being disqualified.
Once he could feel the ground beneath his feet, he quickly took off. The pit had slowed him down, and he couldn't afford to fall behind anymore. Utilizing his quirk, he quickly launched himself forward. To everyone else, he just looked like a blur of blue and white. When he landed, he was slightly ahead of Todoroki and Bakugo.
"Haha!", he cheered.
.....Only for more of his bad luck to kick in and get launched by an explosion. Honestly, what psychopath thought that mines would be a good addition to the sports festival?!
*
"Why does everything hurt?!" Yukino shouted.
Iida grimaced before saying, "Probably because you kept stumbling into explosives."
Yukino snarled at him before pouting. No one asked for him to be a smart ass.
A short while after, Midnight announced that the next match would consist of a round of Calvary battles. This wasn't exactly a good thing for the teen since he was an "extra" to the original twenty students. Maybe he could group up with Shoji and Mineta?
"Hey, you're Yukino, right?"
The curly haired teen turned to reply, only for his mind to go blank. When he finally came too, the round was over, with his team being part of the groups to win.
*
"A trial fight?" Yukino questioned.
Mr. Aizawa scratched his chin as he said, "Yeah. Since you and Hitoshi Shinso are both entering, only one of you can afford to enter. This match is basically to decide who."
Yukino looked down at the ground and grimaced. From what, little Ojiro had told him, his quirk was some form of brainwashing. The issue was, he had no idea how his quirk worked.
Once his name was called, he looked across the arena to see Shinso staring at him, a blank expression on his face.
"And, START!" Midnight yelled.
Shinso sighed before saying, "Hey, no hard feelings, right?"
Yukino smiled as he said, "Of course-"
And just like that, he was a prisoner in his own body. He could vaguely hear Shinso tell him to walk out of bounds, but didn't really pay attention to it because fuck. He had no way to snap himself out of the effects of Shinso's quirk, and was about ten feet away from the boundary line. He needed a way to jumpstart his own body, and he needed one now!
....Oh God. No, nope, no way!
....But he didn't have a choice, did he? Welp, here goes his dignity.
*
As Shinso watched his opponent about to step over the boundary line, he could hear him humming. That humming quickly progressed into incoherent singing as the crowd went silent. From the stands, Iida groaned as he realized what was happening.
"Is he singing Hooked On A Feeling?" Kaminari questioned.
An exasperated groan from Iida was all he got in reply. Kirishima was wheezing as he tried to catch his breath.
In a slight twirl, Yukino whipped around, his hands and eyes glowing blue as he activated his quirk.
"I'm~ HOOKED ON A FEELING!"
"Oh sugar honEY ICED TEA-"
*
As Tensei got a notification from his phone, the armor of his uniform was grazed. He sneered as he steeled his gaze on the villain in front of him.
"You fake..... You don't deserve the title of hero." The man sneered.
Tensei smirked nervously behind his mask as he yelled, "Hero Killer! This is where your time ends!"
