Chapter 42: Sports Festival (4)

"Woohooo!!!" Izuku yelled gleefully as he slid down a giant slide after going down one of the pitfalls that littered the entire Hazard Maze. It reminded him of the slide down to the Bed of Bullshit, which was the best part of the entire run back whenever he died.

Right behind him, Katsuki was also sliding, although the smirk on his face showed that he enjoyed the rush. Adrenaline pumping through their veins, the two of them zoomed past the area, other students that were just within earshot hearing their yells of joy.

It didn't take long before their sudden descent came to an end, and if they followed Izuku's suggestion to the letter, the finish line was right at the first floor of this entire multi-level maze.

"That was fun! I wanna go again!" Izuku still had stars in his eyes as he looked at the giant slide. He had half a mind to scale it again, but a palm on his shoulder made itself known.

"We still need to finish." Katsuki said with pursed lips. "I thought you wanted to fight, huh?"

"... Oh, right." Izuku snapped his fingers, thoughts about scaling the slide all but forgotten. "Huh... What floor are we on, anyway?"

"Probably the second?" Katsuki grumbled, hands in his pockets with a hunched back. "Didn't really see much."

"Yeah... Sliding down a slide does things to people." Izuku shrugged while Katsuki looked at him with a confused face, not that he asked anymore questions. With their conversation dying the same way the dodos did, the two let their feet do the walking, eyes alert as they scanned the area for any nefarious trap.

It was Izuku's brainchild, of course there were gonna be traps when you least expect it. Like say, that obvious looking pressure trap that Katsuki was about to step in. Fortunately, the ash blond saw it and stepped to the side, only to step into a hidden pressure plate that caused something above to rumble.

The two of them looked up and saw a boulder made of paper mache falling towards them. Katsuki looked at Izuku for a brief moment, his unamused expression telling the white-haired teen everything he needed to know what the ash blond was currently feeling.

"Why? Just why?" Izuku's grin was all the response he got. Katsuki groaned then pointed his arm up at the falling boulder. The moment it neared, he let off a giant explosion that blew the entire thing to pieces, bits of paper mache debris scattering around the area. All the while Katsuki's eyes never left Izuku, prompting him to whistle innocently.

"Anyway, we should go. Don't want to get disqualified at the first event." Izuku took the first step and Katsuki followed, albeit with a few grumbles here and there.

Momo panted as she trudged onward, the tiny midget on her back weighing her down. Meanwhile, Mineta was being as much of a dick as he could, fully taking advantage of Momo as he sat pretty. That didn't mean he didn't get his fair share of getting slammed with either paper mache boulders or Sticky gel.

Truth be told, Momo made sure that he got as much punishment because he was hitching a ride on her back. Paper Mache boulder? She turned around. Sticky gel? She turned around. Pitfalls? She made sure that she was sliding on her back.

She normally wasn't a vengeful girl, but Mineta was making her question whether she valued the win, or her desire for vengeance... Eh, she still wanted to win, so Mineta got to live... For now...

Once the Sports Festival is done and over, she'll have to get the girls together and band against the midget. Possibly involving the teachers and hopefully, the principal. She wanted to see how the midget would wiggle his way out when in hot water with most of the staff of the academy. It'll at least make him think twice before doing this again.
