A Frog's Tale [Tsu x Male Hero]

Chapter 8: Sports Festival, Begin!

{A/N: Apologies in advance for being so late, writer's block hit me hard over the head with this one, struggled to find a way to make some filler for the two weeks so in the end decided to go with: None. Hope you enjoy! Quick feedback question though, should I include more pictures?}

You know what I love about weekends? Sleeping in. I'd sleep in just another hour or two as long as I hadn't had a nightmare, which I didn't have the night before.

After a nice long rest, I stretched and got out of my bed, raising my blinds as I prepared to get on with my day. Even though it was a Sunday, I had no time to waste, I had to train!

Not only did I have homework to do, but we would all have the Sports Festival in two weeks! And on top of that, I wanted to spend some more time with my classmates.

I wish I could say this was to be friendly, however I actually wanted to know their weaknesses so I'd have an edge in the competition, whatever it may involve. They seemed to change it up every year, no two events were the same.

I won't bore you with the details, I trained, I strengthened my teleportation quirk a little bit by increasing my durability, I continued to do exercising and weightlifting too.

I did end up getting to hang out with a few of my classmates too. I still couldn't get through to Bakugo though, even after trying to be nice. He only seemed to like Kirishima, so I decided to make an effort after the festival to try to get to know him better.

Throughout the two weeks I hung out with Shoji, Todoroki, Tokoyami, Kaminari, Uraraka and Midoriya. I was honestly most concerned about Todoroki. Despite the fact that I can teleport, his freezing could still pose a threat.

And if at some point I'd have to fight them, I'd need to find a way to counter them. Tokoyami is basically two people, Shoji has six arms, if Midoriya lands a hit I'm done for, same with Uraraka. And Kaminari has an area of effect quirk which could easily screw me over.

I contemplated counter strategies whilst training, as I tended to multitask like that a lot. Focusing on one thing just wasn't for me. I also thought about Tsu, it would be tough if I had to fight her at some point, she was really agile.

Lessons continued as normal through the two weeks as tensions grew, we were all getting more excited. We also gained more enemies as other classes eyed us up. We were all rivals.

During lunch time one of the days, one of the class 1-B kids came up to us and basically just insulted us. Monoma, he seemed jealous to me. He'd always go out of his way to make some snide comment.

That made it all the more satisfying to see his classmate Kendo smack him for it, instead of one of us doing it. She had a really interesting quirk, she could expand her fists to be five times the size.

Something I only noticed as I was writing this biography was that my sleep pattern started getting messed up again as I spent less time with Tsu. She helped me more than I realised. And although we didn't get to spend much time together coming up to the festival, we did text back and forth a bit which kept the flame going.

I was really not sure what move to make next with her, should I ask her out on a second date? Was what we had even a date? Was she acting on impulse or a spur of the moment kind of thing or did she genuinely like me?

Questions I'd have to think about later as the clock ticked down towards the time of the festival. That day was one of the highlights of my first year, for real, I absolutely loved it. The competition, the rewards, it was all a lot of fun!

That's only when I got to look back on it after the fact. Before and during, I was really nervous. We were being broadcast to all of Japan! Our failure, or success, would be known by everyone. I had to give it my all... Plus ultra!
