Dumb Luck

Chapter 27: The Sports Festival Incident

... (T.w. ⚠️)

Half the stadium exploded.

It was as though time had stopped as everyone watched the catastrophe unfold before their eyes.
The innocent civilians who had been seated were sent flying hundreds to even thousands of feet high into the air, had they not died from the impact of the explosion they would've died from the landing. Bodies landed everywhere, on the ground, in the arena, on other people... Their bodies were all sorts of disassembled. One of the bodies landed right on all might, though he ended up catching it instead.
It was horrific, their bones were all broken with some even poking out through the skin. Their jaw had flown off and their neck was only attached to the rest of the body by skin.
Metal flew everywhere, impaling people in all directions no matter where they were seated.
The heat of the explosion burned the nearby seaters who were far enough to be safe from exploding but too close to be safe from the impact.
And in the instant of the explosion, another section of the stadium faced a sudden death. Their faces were all sorts of twisted as they held either their chests or heads and died.

Screams of terror sounded through the air by the other half of the stadium,which mostly consisted of students of UA, who were both lucky and cursed to have survived.
Nothing would be able to wipe the scene of thousands of people exploding up into the air, most already dead and some suffering the whole time from their minds.
It was something they would have to live with forever...

Midoriya, Sero, and Monoma watched from the podium, looks of fear and shock on their faces as well. Fake of course, they were the only ones aware of who did it and why.
Midoriya's eye glowed a bright gold, but no one else could see it, nor could they see the joy in his eyes which he had been trying to hide. Not even All Might, who had been standing right by him and still holding the body of the dead victim of the explosion, could see it.
In the distance, many could see a cloaked figure making a get away.

"Pandemonium! Its him! Over there!"
Present Mic shouted over the microphone, safe from all the danger that had happened.
The heroes who still lived quickly assembled and chased after the cloaked figure.
But minutes later, the cloaked figure ran into an alleyway and vanished completely.

"I apologize for the victims of today's incident.
Pandemonium has struck again."
Aizawa said over the speakers, his voice grimm.
"I ask of you all to please remain calm while the situation is assessed."

The heroes who stayed behind were quick to receive updates on the situation.
"it appears that pandemonium made a swift escape.
Please wait while we secure the location and verify that no other villains may be aiming to cause harm"

Midoriya sat there, happy his plan worked.
"making the heroes think they saw Pandemonium making an escape was a good idea. "
He thought to himself.
The Pandemonium all the heroes saw was infact not there. It was just an illusion their brains had shown them.
That's why the cloaked figure has somehow disappeared without a trace.

"Everything is secure.
You may all evacuate, please do not run and walk in an orderly fashion. If you are injured paramedics and heroes will come to you, do not move"
Aizawa stated.

Everyone began to evacuate, including the winners of the festival. They made their way out of the stadium and grouped together outside of it.
Classes grouped themselves together, but not a word was exchanged. The shock had silenced them and all of them sat in pure fear.
Midoriya had to hold back laughter at the pure irony of the situation.
"Should I attack again....?
It would be so funny.
They all think that Pandemonium has gone, I'm still here though."
He thought to himself.
"maybe not the best idea. "
He sighed to himself, looking around at everyone's reactions.
