Lucky Girl (BNHA OC Fanfic)

5 // Tests And Terror

I bolt forward, not wasting a single second of what I've been given. When I found out the exam was capture the flag, I thought it wouldn't be too bad. It quickly dawned on me that this area is huge and the flag could be anywhere.

I speed down the streets, twisting and turning between tall buildings and trying to put as much energy into my quirk as possible. It's weird trying to explain that to somebody, I'm basically putting effort into being lucky.

After five minutes of sprinting and frantically running, a large alarm goes off, signaling that Midnight and Akamine are now in the ground.

Luckily for me there's a lot of different paths and I've gained a great distance on them already. Unluckily for me, there's a lot of paths. I could've missed the flag already. No wonder this training exercise was stopped: it's borderline impossible.

There's no denying that I don't have complete control over luck, and there's no real evidence to suggest how strong luck can be at it's full potential. There's never been much of a situation where I've had to overuse luck and I'm panicking that this might be the time.

I don't know the consequences of using my quirk too much because I've never cared for it. The way I see it, I'm basically quirkless but a little more fortunate. If I don't have a weapon, I have to rely on luck to mess with other forces to get me out of situations, which is anxiety inducing to say the least.

The chances of me passing this are so low that I have to rely on luck, which is probably going to cause some kind of panic attack.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts when I hear a nearby scraping sound. I almost stop in my tracks, but then I remember if I stop, I'm going to waste valuable time.

The scraping noise gets louder and louder, it kind of sounds like metal on concrete. The scraping sounds suddenly get a lot louder and I instinctively jump to the side.

Good thing I did. A giant fist made up of tiny iron filings slams right in front of me, grazing past my face by a centimetre.

The iron filings scatter once they hit the floor and you can't even see the concrete because it's covered in the dark grey, almost black substance. I look back to the source and find Akamine stood not that far away from me. Ah shit.

"You better beat me Hara. It's not only your reputation that's on the line." Gee thanks Akamine, really appreciate that comment.

Suddenly, all the filings shoot into the air, forming a cloud and then flying straight towards me.

I dive forward and then twist into a forwards role before catching my feet and sprinting off.

I make a lot of sharp turns down several streets and alleys, trying to lose her. It's no use, that scraping noise keeps following me.

That's when another thought strikes me. Where the hell is Midnight?

Just like I summoned her or some shit, I turn the corner and come face to face with her. Luckily my mask is helping me out slightly by preventing the gas that's covering the ground from making me pass out.

I twist around and come face to face with Akamine, who's now wearing what looks like a gas mask. Seems she came prepared.

It takes me a second to realise that I'm trapped between them. I don't exactly know how they plan to stop me but knocking me out with gas is one sure way to do it. I need to get out and the only way I can think of is a window just to my left.

I swing my weapon off of my back and decide it's time to use one of it's special features. I keep the weapon in the compressed version of itself and then hold it horizontal to the floor in the direction of the window. I slide my finger into a small gap in the middle section of the weapon and press down, activating the trigger and shooting a bullet towards the window. It shatters instantly.
