This is Why I Don't Touch Weird Space Rocks (Completed)

Chapter 12 - Winners, and Losers, None of That Matters if I'm Better

Saiki, Killua, Ban and Gowther breezed through the rest of the obstacle course. Saiki dismantled the robots easily, he even ordered the pieces from smallest to largest, nice and neatly, this only took about 10 extra seconds of course. Ban jumped from pillar to pillar during the second stage, Saiki teleported, Killua walked and Gowther tagged along on Ban's back, afterall, he's the main reason they passed the first stage without having to kill anyone. The last stage was the mindfield. Naturally, they zoomed through with ease, Ban and Killua not even bothering to use their quirks, Gowther temporarily hacked large quantities of land mines at once, and Saiki teleported.

Keep in mind, this was them showing restraint.

They cleared the course in 4 minutes and 17 seconds, Present Mic and Eraser Head were unable to give any commentary while they were going through, everyone just sat in awe of the incredible use of power. Once the four of them re-entered the stadium through the corridor, the crowd erupted in cheers and shouts. There were about 2500 people in that stadium, all of them were blown away by their performance.

"THEY ALL PASSED AT THE SAME TIME!!! BUT WHO'S FIRST?" Present Mic yelled over the crowds.

The loud cheering and the obvious pride shown by their teachers allowed Saiki to show a genuine smile. This was something he deserved. Of course, doing this all the time would be a pain, but for just this one moment, he allowed himself to be proud, and he finally accepted Ban, Killua and Gowther as friends.

"I wonder if it's necessary for us to keep competing? We're obviously stronger than these students...." Killua speculated.

"That's true. These children do not stand a chance against us." Gowther agreed.

"Eraser? What did you do to get your students so strong?" Present Mic shouted.

"... These particular students... didn't train at all in the weeks leading up to the Festival." Aizawa said with no feeling in his voice.

"WHAT?! Not even one minute went to training?" Present Mic asked in amazement.

"The other students trained... these four didn't." Aizawa explained shortly.

"Wow! They didn't train at all, but they managed to set a new record!" Present Mic was screaming over the crowds.

"Were we expected to train?" Gowther asked.

"Duh, did you forget when that rich dude yelled at us for not doing anything?" Ban slapped Gowther on the back.

"What was that?" Gowther questioned him.

"Uh... a slap on the back?" Ban hesitated.

"For what reason did 'slap my back'?" Monotoned Gowther.

"Uh... as a sign of friendship-why are you asking me this?" Ban yelled.

"Ah, hitting someone on the back is a 'sign of friendship'... very interesting." Gowther said to himself. "I'll remember that."

"Why do we have to wait for the other students?" Killua complained.

"I'm sorry about that." Principal Nezu walked up to them. The crowd's cheers got quieter. "We must have underestimated you when you first displayed your powers." He chuckled.

"Aren't you supposed to be watching the other students?" Killua continued. "Why come to us?" Although Killua asked, he knew the reason.

"I've been meaning to talk to you for a little while, but you've been so busy, and you never seem to be in the dorms." Principal Nezu gave them a knowing look. They played dumb.

"We wanted to explore the nearby areas. You know, walk about the town." Killua lied. He was a smart liar, but Principal Nezu was smarter.

"Yes, there are many good places to visit, like the MM Bank." That was the bank Saiki and Gowther robbed with the League.
