51: Little Miss Popular

"Ugh. It's so crowded here," Chisaki shudders. "I should've worn two pairs of gloves today, just to make sure all this filth doesn't seep through the fabric."

Pops rolls his eyes. "You knew exactly how this would go. The Sports Festival is a massive scale event. You're the one who decided you wanted to come today, which means you don't get to whine the whole time."

"I'm not whining," Chisaki mutters, but scarcely two seconds later, one of the spectators bumps their elbow against his, and he recoils as if he just got electrocuted. "Don't touch me, you diseased piece of trash! Keep your distance!"

"Uh... sorry?" the man apologizes, in visible disbelief.

"Disgusting. Stay the hell away from me. In fact, don't even turn your head in my direction. Don't even breathe in my direction. It's ridiculous, isn't it, Pops? Some people just don't know the meaning of personal space."

Chisaki then proceeds to lift up the gigantic handmade sign he brought along with him, which ends up whacking the poor spectator in the head, and gives him absolutely no wiggle room whatsoever.

Seriously. Some people really, really don't know the meaning of personal space.

While Pops buries his face in his hands and considers walking out of the stadium from sheer embarrassment, Chisaki holds the sign up as high as he possibly can, in the hopes that you might be able to see it. He's not the only one who brought a sign along today to cheer on one of the participants, but his sign is by far the best. And that's an unbiased take. Definitely.

EVERY OTHER PARTICIPANT BESIDES [NAME] IS A WASTE OF SPACE AND IS GUARANTEED TO DO TERRIBLY. ALSO, WHOEVER DOESN'T WANT [NAME] TO WIN IS SUBHUMAN TRASH. IF [NAME] LOSES, THAT MEANS THIS WHOLE EVENT IS RIGGED.

That's what the sign says. For obvious reasons, it's garnering quite a lot of attention. The participants haven't even filed into the stadium yet, but his sign is drawing so many eyes to him that people can't help but wonder who the hell this [Name] person even is. Chisaki secretly feels a sense of pride, even though he really shouldn't. He's making you more infamous by the second. Well, not counting the fans you already have because of the viral Chubby Bunny video.

"I told you that sign was a terrible idea," Pops snaps.

"Why?" Chisaki frowns, completely oblivious. "What's wrong with it?"

"The fact that you don't even know makes it a hundred times worse."

"I'm here to support my little sister. The moment she sees my sign, I know for a fact she'll be overjoyed. Besides, everything I said is true. If she loses, then the Sports Festival is a total scam. I shouldn't even have to spell it out, but most people are incredibly stupid, so I have no choice."

Pops merely shakes his head. "I'm getting way too old for this..."

Chisaki gives him a puzzled look, but before he can say anything else, a loud, booming voice fills the stadium-followed by a surge of students entering the arena. No, you're not there. You're not there, either. So far, you still have yet to appear, but it turns out that U.A was purposely building anticipation for this moment. Everyone awaits, with bated breath, the class that survived a large-scale villain encounter at USJ. The notorious Class 1-A, home to a bunch of irrelevant idiots, but also... the most lovable girl in the entire world.

It only takes a split second for Chisaki to pick you apart from the crowd. You're happily waving to everyone, while that friend of yours, Midoriya Izuku, cowers behind your back. Your other friend, Todoroki Shouto, also stays close by your side. Both of them are staying too close, in Chisaki's opinion. Not to mention that he can't shake the mental image of Dabi hugging you from yesterday. God, it makes him furious.
