Tale of a Short Warrior [Eijiro Kirishima x OC]

Sports Festival

Today is the big day of the sports festival where Mom and Dad wake up early to have breakfast with me, as Im about to leave Mom says "goodluck Yu, do your best and see you there" since her and Dad are going there to watch me for support.

I arrive at school where there are newscasters everywhere where Yaoyorozu was right when she said this is a major event, hopefully I do well just in case I get recognized as being the daughter of a former pro. I walk in to see food stalls along the aisle leading to the entrance where I look around to see what they have so I will know where to grab a bite for lunch ws well as treat myself after to make myself feel better if I dont do well.

Up ahead there was a crowd of people that looked packed which annoyed me where I think to myself "here I go again" because I hate crowds especially with my experience a few weeks back when I was stuck in the middle of the crowd so I told myself I have no choice but to be strong and go through it where luckily I saw the big sign that says First Year pointing to where the assembly area is.

Just as I was about to walk through the crowd I thought I hear someone call my name then as I continue walking I hear my name again where I turn to see Mina so I tell her about the crowd up ahead where its a nuisance for me so in her usual bubbly voice she says "get on Yu" while bending down where I ask "are you sure because I might be too heavy for you" then she says "dont worry I will do my best besides this can train me too" so I put my arms on her shoulder leaning on her back where she lifts me up from my knees, she then runs as fast as she can to the assembly area. When we get there I ask her if I was tol heavy where she replys "youre actually quite light so dont worry".

We then get directed to the waiting room where we quickly get changed into our gym uniforms, Mina comments that she wanted to wear her costume but Ojiro says we cant because we have to be fair. Suddenly Iida bursts into the room telling us its almost time to go.

Todoroki then calls on Midoriya saying that he is more capable than him then telling him be is set in beating him which gets all our attention so I think to myself that I hope I wont have to encounter him because this guy scares me especially with that birthmark(A/N-this is what I thought it was at first) on his eye on top of his serious to angry expression that I feel he could just crush me like a bug especially since he is way bigger than me.

Kirishima then steps in to protect Midoriya by telling Todoroki to snap out of it where he shoves him back saying in his intimidating monotonous voice "were not here to play friends. Does it even matter?" then Midoriya stands up saying he doesnt understand Todoroki's desire to defeat him but he is aware of his power being way above him and probably most people in which Kirishima with his optimistic personality tells Midoriya not to be so negative encouraging him that he is capable but then Midoriya reminds us of others who are also aiming for the top saying he cant fall behind in fact he will do the same as everyone else.

About Kirishima I admire him for being so confident and optimistic also how he defended Midoriya just now was just impressive, his fighting spirit makes him so cool. I get along with him pretty well but lately I noticed that Ive been feeling nervous around him where its hard to look at him and I stutter too when I talk to him, I also feel myself shaking a bit in his presence.

I cant stop thinking of the time he gave me a piggy back ride to class and the smell of his cologne which soothed me that moment as well as how we fought alongside in USJ on top of that I appreciate it big time when he defends me on the rare times I get picked on by Kaminari and Sero who once in awhile hold my stuff out of my reach just to see me struggle getting them back until Kirishima steps in demanding they cut it out because its not a manly thing to do. There was a time during lunch period recently where Mina kept saying I like Kirishima claiming that she saw me fixing my hair a lot during PE just to look nice for him in which I just told her my hair was just in my face that time.

I dont understand why Im feeling this way because we are sort of friends like how I am with Midoriya. Anyways I have better things to focus on like hero work and now the sports festival so this is nothing important.

*timeskip*

On our way to the arena we hear President Mic's introduction of the sports festival announcing its about to start where we hear the cheers of the audience so as a class we all walk to the field with our heads up to show we are confident with how we will perform as President Mic introduces our class to the audience. Seeing how big the crowd is I feel a bit nervous but I take a deep breath reminding myself of my reason to be a hero which is for people to take me seriously so this is my time to shine. President Mic then introduces the other classes as they all make their way to the field until we are all assembled in front of a platform where Midnight was standing on which earns stares from everyone especially the boys because if her outfit.

She tells us all to keep quiet then calls Bakugou as the representative of our year to go up on stage for the opening remarks. There was a moment of silence as Bakugou goes up on stage where a lot anticipate on what he is going to say while with me I dont care about what he says because I still hate him for being a jerk to me when I confessed back in middle school, he then says "I pledge...that I will be number one" which shocks most of us even if we knew he would say something like that where the crowd of students from the other classes yell negative comments and boos at him. Iida then steps in asking why he is degrading the event in which he replies "at least be a good springboard for me" as if he doesnt care about anything else aside from himself.

Midnight then announces that we will have the first event where a screen appears behind her which blurs from spinning to choose a random event, it ends up choosing obstacle race so she gives us an orientation of the event which is an approximately 4 kilometer race around the stadium where we can do whatever we want as long as we stay on course. The lights start to glow on the tunnle entrance on the sides of the stadium signaling its time for us to go so we each assemble in our respective tunnel to prepare.

This is it where I hope for the best
