My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 2

Chapter 21: The Sports Festival Relay Race!

We were quickly funneled off the buses, and we already met by a ton of people crowded around. Did these people even have seats? No way everyone fits inside that stadium, especially with how many are outside right now...

"Alright! Come on everyone, we gotta get you away from these extra's and to the race track! We're starting right away." Both of our classes followed the teachers, being led to a racetrack that seemed to have been built all the way around the stadium. Soon, a voice crackled to life through the PA system and spoke out loudly.

"Welcome Everyone, to the UA Sports Festival! Our esteemed contestants have finally arrived, and starting off today's event we will be having a quirk assisted relay race around the stadium!" A relay race? Greeeat... I'm not that good at cardio. "As some of you may know, Sports Festival pins Class 1-A against Class 1-B. So we'll now give the classes time to strategize who gets placed where on the track to win the race!"

"I call dibs on being the last runner, I'm horrible at Cardio." I had my hand raised high as I spoke, everyone looking at me and nodding as we soon made a small circle to communicate better.

"Alright! We need anyone who has some sort of quirk that makes them faster at the start of the race, a good start will help us out alot." One of our other classmates, a taller boy with short dark brown hair rose his hand up.

"My quirk let's me teleport about thirty meters."

"How many times can you do that in a row?"

"I'd say... Roughly two times"

"That's a'hundred and ninety-six feet." My jaw dropped, looking to my right at Suraki who had done the math for that.

"Ooookay, maybe we won't have to worry about the race at all" Toma rubbed the back of his head, he was the one planning on this.

"We don't know the exact length of the track, so let's just have you teleport as far as you can along the track and go from there."

"Works for me, my name is Haneki by the way for those who don't know."

"Nice to meet you, Haneki." I waved slightly at him.

"Nice to meet you properly as well, Nosido." He waved back, nodding slightly before turning to look back at Toma.

"Who else should be running? Come on, think guys." Soon, Zota put his hand up.

"I will, Toma you should be right before Nosido since you could probably launch yourself a few feet using your sonic blasts."

"Alright, does that sound good to everyone else?"

"Wait." Sakura's voice beams through and everyone looks at her. Her hair is tied into a little pony, pulling her hair out of her face. "Instead of Nosido, no offense Nosi, but I can run. I'm quick too, put me last. I'll catch up if we fall behind."

Everyone nodded in agreement as I let out a low breath. I've gotta say, I do feel a little better that I'm not running, now I don't have to let the class down this round. "Alright then, let's win this race guys." Toma put his hand out in the center, everyone awkwardly standing at first. "Come on, put your freakin' arms in."

One by one the class put their arms to the center, all our hands touching. "On three, we yell one-A. Ready?" Toma looked around for a few seconds to make sure. "Okay... One... Two... Three..." Everyone lowered their hands a few inches before throwing them up above our heads, yelling out in sync.

"ONE-A!" There wasn't time for me to be anxious anymore. Sport's Festival is starting now, and I was gonna be on the news for sure... Let's do this.
