You sat in your chair, you weren't allowed to wear your costume. It was a bummer but you didn't really care that much.

Iida opened the door and you turned your head. "Everyone! Get your game faces on!" You tilted your head back and focused on the noises around you.

"Midoriya! Yagi!" You hummed in response, he looked so determined. "I think it's fairly clear that I'm stronger than you two." You got up with a huff.

Since when was he so rude? That wasn't the same boy you remember, but then again. You weren't this grumpy as a child, but you still had that same energy. He was cold, emotionless.

"However, you've both got All might helping you out. I'm not here to pry about anything but know that I'll beat you." You frowned a bit.

"That's not cool, man." You responded as Kirishima walked up. "Why are you picking a fight?" The red head placed a hand on Todoroki.

He pushed his hand off and you slightly touched the cold boys hand, he looked back with wide eyes and you grinned. "I'll play your game." You shrugged and touched his hand once more.

"Robbers? You can be the cop." You smiled playfully and walked back to your seat.

Present mic called your class out and you walked determined, maybe you finally woke up on the right side because you were ready to beat someone's ass with one hand.

You smiled brightly and waved to the crowd, it'll make up for that incident. You knew the media better than most, they're practically your family that you hate.

You stopped in front of a stage and Midnight stood there, she was almost like an aunt to you. She would always bring you places as a child, once you got older tho she stopped because of her hero work.

"For the student pledge, we have Katsuki Bakugo!" She announced and the blonde walked up the stairs. "I just wanna say, I'm gonna win."

You clawed your cheeks in disappointment, why did he have to ruin your reputation? This was so shitty!

"It's time to get started!" You stared at the woman who talked. "The first game of the festival...obstacle race!" She announced and you almost died.

How were you supposed to win this? Your quirk was terrible for this!

The game started before you could even blink and everyone ran towards the entrance.

You slipped through the mass amount of people, it wasn't easy and you got elbowed a few times but it's better than being dead last.

You had enough of these people and decided to be a little selfish, or a lot.

You climbed up on top and climbed the people like a jungle gym, clearly this was a smart move because not only did you make it out, but you avoided Todoroki's ice.

You slid like a penguin on the ice, you looked super silly but it was effective so who cares?

Other people also managed to avoid this and were in front of you, you huffed angrily and let the ice move your body towards them.

Your body slid forward and unfortunately, right in front of the entrance exam robot.

It locked onto you and you swallowed in fear, why was your luck this bad?

Todoroki covered them in ice and you immediately realized the position that they held.

You ran to the side, slipping through a small gap that was between the robot and the outer line, you began to run as fast as your legs would allow.

You were close to Todoroki, but not enough to touch his hand or any other part of his body. If your legs would move faster than you would be ahead of this race.

A bunch of ropes stood in front of you and you carefully walked across it, it was so scary and you could barely even move.

For most of the first ones you walked carefully across them, now you were hanging onto them. Your [H/C] strands of hair in your face and tickling your nose and cheeks.

You finally made it across and with a huge sigh you got up and ran up a ton of stairs.

˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗LM

You carefully walked across the field of land mines, people flew all over the placed behind you.

Bakugo and Todoroki were fighting in front of you and you sped up your tiptoe-ing as much as you could, you at least wanted to get 2nd.

A loud explosion erupted behind you and Midoriya came flying above you, you clenched your fists and sped up your steps.

You were practically running, you pass Todoroki and Bakugo in anger and envy. How did you not get blown up? A mystery, maybe it was pure envy. Maybe it was the want for your father's attention?

Anger was definitely running through your blood right now because you slightly pushed Bakugo and Todoroki, just enough to steal their quirks.

Your mark shone brightly, it would've been bad but you could barely see the light.

They were angry too, made sense. They caught up to you in no time and you were all neck to neck with Midoriya.

Maybe all those hours of crying and training with your dad really helped. Hopefully he was proud of you, you were hoping that he was proud to be your father.

Midoriya slammed the metal down and you prepared yourself for the explosion.

It almost sent you flying, flying? That's it! Flying is definitely your best option right now.

You got onto your knees and slammed them into the ground, it was super painful but it sent you flying forward.

Unfortunately, you didn't think about how you were going to maneuver. And you also didn't think about how your classmates are determined.

As you spun around in the air like a ballon, you caught a glimpse of Bakugo behind you and you slammed your foot into his face.

He grunted in pain and you fell back onto the floor, another mine sent you flying and you tried to view your surroundings.

You rolled. It was embarrassing, you rolled and bounced like a ball.

It was your only hope! It was blinding Bakugo and Todoroki as well as throwing you forward, did it really matter?

You finally hit the ground in front of the exit and you struggled to get up.

Bakugo and Todoroki came closer to you and the two toned hair boy made his way in front of you.

You ran, ran as if your life was on the line. It wasn't actually but the way you were feeling, it felt like a bear was behind you.

The light shone on your face and so did the two boys in front of you. 3rd, you got third place. This was good, but I was not what you wanted.

1st, you should've got first. Your father must be so disappointed and embarrassed, that's if he's even looking at you. His golden boy was first, his actual daughter was 3rd.

You're clearly going to be stuck in the shadows, why are you still trying to win this? Your father probably doesn't even care.
