Sorry for the delay, but I'm having lots of tests, and they're taking their toll on me. So if I keep on delaying don't be alarmed, I'll still write this story till the end alright?

_____________________________________________________________

(Y/n) was ready. Her training would certainly be worth it. On the day of the tournament, the girl didn't speak to anyone, afraid to take her concentration away. They joined the other classes in a room before the start of the competition, leaving the students a little apprehensive, but the girl stayed quiet. But when they opened the doors to the arena and everyone found their places in the arena, the only thing the girl could think of was: 'I'm not ready!'

Bakugou, noticing his friend's condition, leaned his shoulder on the girl's, making her look at him startled. (Y/n) gave the blonde an embarrassed smile and looked back at Midnight, who was now presenting the event. Katsuki felt his face flush a little, but he tried to hold himself so as not to appear weak to the cameras.

"The representative of the class 1-A will be Katsuki Bakugou!" Midnight said, taking the girl out of her thoughts.

The students in the class didn't know how to react, how would such a fouled mouth kid be the representative of that event? Katsuki was striding, his ego flowing through his pores. The students waited anxiously for what the blonde would say on the microphone, hoping it would change the reputation of their class for the better.

"I swear... I'll be number one." Bakugou said, his face without changing expression.

Students from other classes began to complain, screaming for Katsuki to leave the stage, completely irritated. Meanwhile, (Y/n) laughed softly, a few tears escaped her eyes, she loved when Katsuki said such things.

"Why are you doing something so shameful?" Iida scolded the blonde.

"At least make yourself a good step for me to climb." Bakugou said, the girl couldn't help the loud snore this time, catching the attention of some people in the audience. Including Toshinori.

Katsuki stepped off the stage, giving way to Midnight to speak again, presenting the first part of the event, which would be an obstacle course. They all got ready, waiting for the doors to open, finally to know what was on the other side. When it did, everyone ran in desperation. Before they even reached the other side, some students were stopped.

Todoroki froze the tunnel, sticking some people to the ground. (Y/n) was faster, noting what the kid was going to do and jumping at the right time, staying up in the air for a few seconds, preventing her from getting stuck on the ground. When she left the tunnel, her colleagues were already running ahead of her. Seeing Mina sliding through her acid, she had an idea. She began to try to run on the ice and boost herself with her telekinesis, easily getting past several of her opponents, including some of her classmates.

However, the first obstacle was finally seen, the same robots of the admission test were there. Suddenly, the voice of Present Mic came from the loudspeakers.

"Obstacles come out of nowhere! Starting with the first barrier! Robo Inferno!"

Todoroki was the first to act, freezing one of the robots before it could attack. The girl took advantage of this moment to do what she did in the admittance test to pass the robots. With her Quirk, she climbed to the top of the robot, stepping on it's head lightly at first, but applying force with her Quirk to jump from robot to robot to get past that obstacle.

The first three in the race were: Todoroki, Bakugou and (Y/n), in that order. They were the first to see the second part of the race, which consisted of several pieces of land attached to each other only by a thin rope. As Shouto made his way with ice, Katsuki continued his explosions to be suspended in midair. The girl had another idea. She started to run on the rope, holding on to her Quirk, but she was starting to feel a little dizzy, she felt a slimy liquid trickling down her nose slowly. She ignored the sensation, running the back of her hand to wipe the blood.

The third obstacle was a minefield. During the seconds that the girl was thinking about how she would move from that part, some students had already surpassed her. Bakugou and Todoroki still seemed to fight for first place, running side by side. The girl realized she wouldn't get ahead so soon, so she looked around for something that might help her. Midoriya was digging the floor with a piece of robot, gathering some mines in one corner. (Y/n) decided to take a 'ride' with the boy, she knew that she was being a bit of an asshole, but she had to save herself somehow.

When Izuku hit the piece of metal on the floor, the girl grabbed his clothes. The object propelled the two to the point of leaving them in front of Katsuki and Shouto. Midoryia had already realized that she was using him, but allowed anyway, he couldn't be aggressive towards the girl like Bakugou. The two of them lost their balance on the piece of metal, but as soon as they returned to the ground they continued running to the finish line.

The tunnel in front of the two showed the arrival, (Y/n) could pass the boy at any moment, but gave away the victory to Izuku. He really deserved it. Not that she deserved less, but it seemed better to let him think that this victory had been entirely his.

On the other side, Midoryia looked at everyone excitedly in the audience. The boy stared at a single spot in the audience and his eyes began to water. The girl jumped on him, hugging his neck, proud of the man Izuku had become. When the girl looked at the spot that Izuku looked at, she smiled silly, she knew what was happening. This wasn't All Might, but only that approval was something to the boy. (Y/n) raised one of her arms and waved to Toshinori, making him blush slightly as he responded with a nod.

Some students in class 1-A came to congratulate Izuku, others lamented having reached below fifth place. The race rankings had come out, being announced by Midnight. First was Midoryia, second (Y/n) and third Todoroki. Bakugou didn't seem at all happy to have stayed below Shouto and Midoryia, his face clearly showing this.

Some time later the second part of the event was being announced. As the explanation unfolded, the students started facing Izuku. The boy had become the black sheep, everyone wanted the boy's points, including her. The girl put one hand on Midoryia's shoulder, smiling slightly, feeling bad for the boy.

"Izuku..." (Y/n) said, catching his attention "You're fucked."
