TIMESKIP TO THE SPORTS FESTIVAL
NO POV
The air rang out with excitement and anticipation. Today was the day the students had been waiting all year for, the annual sports festival. A day only rivaled by the Olympics, it was chance for them to show off their skills and hopefully catch a pro's eye.
Izuku sat impatiently in the waiting room, counting the seconds until the first event started and feeling his leg rhythmically bounce up and down. His heart raced and his mind whirled with everything that could go wrong 'What if I don't make it past round 1??What if I overdo it and can't finish?? I don't have any control of OFA yet!!'
'What if I let down All Might and don't make the impression I promised..'
But all of these worries seemed to vanish when Shinsou had come up behind him and gently whispered " Hey, Calm down. Your fine, Okay?". Shinsou had a soft, gruff voice that never failed to put his anxiety at ease... ' But that don't I LIKE him!! He's just my friend and I don't even like boys.!' Izuku quickly reminded himself as he turned around to thank him but Shinsou had already wandered off and Todoroki had replaced him.
Todo had a dark, determined gaze that was locked onto Izuku. A look that he had never seen before and it scared him. "Midoryia.." Todo grunted "I'm only going to say this once so listen well. We. aren't. friends here. We are opponents and I will do whatever it takes to come out on top, understand?"
Izuku sat flabbergasted and his mind spun with how to respond, 'Normally only Kacchan threatens me and I know how to deal with that, but not him..'. Finally, Izuku spoke " Y-yes, I understand. And I will do my best to beat you as well!" Todo stared at him for a moment before muttering under his breath and walking off, leaving Izuku alone again. After what seemed like forever, the alarm sounded for them to file out for the first event and Izuku's heart fluttered. He couldn't tell if it was from anxiety or relief but at long last he could prove what he could really do. However, as Izuku left the room, something odd stuck out.. Kacchan was no where to be found, and he hadn't heard from him all morning.
'He's probably just pouting in the audience... at least I hope so..'
The crowd roared as the hero course stepped into the light. There a was a soft, warm breeze that carried the deafening sound with it, a sound that only got louder as each group came out. Finally, the crowd's cheers quieted down and Present Mic started to speak " HELLO HELLO EVERYONE!! AND WELCOME TO THIS YEARS SPORTS FESTIVAL!! TODAY I HAVE WITH ME MY AWESOME COHOST ERASERHEAD! DO YOU HAVE ANY WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THESE COMPETITORS?!"
"Don't screw this up" Aizawa mumbled out of his bandages
"...OKAY THEN AND NOW FOR—"
However, before he could finish a sickeningly familiar purplish black portal appeared behind him and 3 figures stepped out. The first two covering Present Mic's and Aizawa's mouths and disarming them to prevent retaliation, and the third stepped up to the mic and their voice made Izuku's heart drop.
" Listen up, either we do this MY way or this entire stadium is going up in smoke." Kacchan growled " First, No one my get up from their seats. If you do, I will signal bombs under the chairs and every single one of you will become meat chunks and my comrades are watching everywhere." "Second, I don't want to hear a word restraint." "Lastly, I want all of the students to leave except for Deku and if you dare try to leave your little puppy up here will meet a not so nice fate."
"Understood?"
The aura of joy had vanished and was replaced by a sense of dread and stand still fear. One by one, the pros nodded and Kacchan got a vile smirk "Perfect, now do as you were told". Silently each student turned around and left, too terrified and confused to protest.
Izuku quietly went onto the stage in front of him and watched as Kacchan warped down to him. The air was still and silent, as if the entire world had come to a standstill.
Just Before he attacked, Kacchan broke into a crazed laugh and yelled "YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!!! NOW YOU ARE GOING TO PAY AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME TO STOP!!"
Hi everyone!! Hope your staying safe at home and washing your hands!!
Hope this chapter was worth the wait and the contest has been dropped due to my inexperience holding them..!
But I will host one again someday when I can organize it a bit better!
Stay safe and Until next time,
Plus Ultra!
