10

Today was the day. The day of the sports festival. I took a deep breath in, looking at myself in the mirror. I could beat everyone with the touch of my hand if I wanted. Dad wouldn’t tell me anything about the sports festival, something I was grateful for. I didn’t want to know. This would also be the introduction of the other supposed transfer student into class 1A. Lída. The nerves and slight excitement shone through my shaking hands as I stared at myself in the mirror. I quickly finished up, then went out to the kitchen seeing dad there with a cup of coffee, similar to the first day I went to UA. I nodded a good morning to him, then getting my own cup of coffee. Lída joined us, also getting coffee and we stood there leaning against the counters in a comfortable silence. I thought about the festival. I honestly wasn’t sure what my strategy would be, I didn’t want to win, but I did want to do my best.

“We should get going. We all have important things today.” I said, finishing off my coffee.

Dad and Lída nodded, and we all started heading out, making small talk along the way. As we got closer to the school, my nerves started to bother me. The fireworks that the school were setting off weren’t helping either. Lída and I quickly made it into the 1A waiting room, and we had to wear our gym clothes.

“I wanted to wear my hero costume.” Mina said dejectedly. 

“To keep everything fair, we can’t.” Ojiro told her while stretching.

Others spoke between themselves about the festival, and then the door opened and Iida yelled at us to ask if we were ready, saying that the first round would be starting soon. I took a deep breath in to calm my nerves. I watched the others carefully, then narrowed my eyes at Todoroki, who was walking to Midoriya.
“Midoriya.” It seemed as if the whole room took a breath in and held it, unsure of the half and half’s motives. “Looking at things objectively, I think I’m stronger than you. But, All Might has his eye on you, doesn’t he? I’m not going to pry about that. But I’m going to beat you.” 

“Is the best in the class making a declaration of war?” Denki sounded somewhat excited.

“Hey, why are you picking a fight all of a sudden?” Kirishima walked over to the two, placing a hand on Todoroki’s shoulder. “Not now, we are about to start.”

Todoroki shrugged Kirishima’s hand off. “We are not here to play at being friends. So what does it matter?”

I watched carefully as Todokroki walked away and Midoriya looked down. “Todoroki, I don’t know what you are thinking when you say you will beat me, but of course you’re stronger than me. Looking at it objectively, I think you are stronger than most of the people in this room.” 

“Midoriya you probably shouldn’t talk so negatively-” Kirishima stated but was cut off by Midoriya.

“Everyone… All the other classes are aiming for the top with everything they’ve got! We have to do the same.I have to do the same. I cannot afford to fall behind. That’s why I will fight with everything I’ve got.”

Soon after that, it was announced that we needed to start heading to the center of the arena, so I stood and took one last look at my peers, who were soon to become enemies for a short amount of time. We all began the short walk to the outside of the hallway, Midoriya, Iida, and Mina going in the very front, and the other spread out behind them. We got to the center of the arena, where Midnight was standing on top of a platform, her hero costume a little inappropriate for high schoolers. She welcomed everyone to the UA Sports Festival, then called for Bakugo to go up and give the pledge.

He walked up there with his hands in his pockets, and turned towards the microphone. “I pledge… That I will be number one.”

Immediately, all the other classes started booing him and looking at our class with anger. I took a deep breath. This was just what we needed. Wonderful.

He rejoined our class and most of our classmates bagan nagging him about what he said, how he turned all the other classes against us.I stayed out of it, and soon we all had our attention back on Midnight as she announced the event for the qualifying round.

It was an obstacle course. Of course. I silently thanked the support course and the UA staff for modifying my gym clothes to withstand my shifts. It was made of a different material so when I shift, it would shift with me. Quirks were allowed, and there would be obstacles throughout the course. I smirked, as my quirk was perfect for this. This was to get noticed by agencies for internships and the sort, however, so I couldn’t just fly over the whole course. I had to show more of what I could do.

We all lined up at the start, I stayed closer to the back, knowing that with everyone rushing through the hallway, people were bound to fall and get trampled on. The rest of the class was spread out through the crowd. Finally, it began. Midnight called out the start and people began rushing forwards, Ignoring them, I quickly shifted, flying over the group. I got through with ease, shifting back at the beginning. I felt a blast of cold air, and frowned as I knew it was Todoroki. He froze everyone who was touching the ground. At the last second, I jumped shifting in midai once again to avoid being caught by the Ice. I glared as he ran past, but then shifted into a snow leopard and began running across the ice. Most of class 1A was able to dodge the ice, and were quickly gaining on him. Mineta caught up somehow, the short pervert being fast on his feet with those grapes. He jumped, aiming one at Todoroki when he was hit in the side, causing him to fly the opposite direction.

“Mineta!” I heard Midoriya yell as I saw a bunch of giant robots. 

I smirked. This would be easy. I shifted back into a bird and flew above and laughed as Todoroki froze them and continued on. I let out a burst of speed as I tried to keep myself ahead of the half and half boy. We quickly made it to the next obstacle, a canyon filled with ropes and pillars of rock. We just had to make it across.
“What are you waiting for? You could already be across.” I heard Todoroki ask me. 

“I could have been done with this ten minutes ago. I’m allowing people to have a chance.” I replied.

We quickly began making our way across, me deciding to stay in human form, I could do one obstacle as myself. However, as soon as Todoroki made it all the way across, I decided to shift and fly the rest of the way. Catching up to him, we made our way to the final obstacle. A minefield. Iad a plan for this one. Once we started going, I shifted into a small mouse, then grabbed ahold of Todoroki’s pant leg, trying to make sure he wouldn’t notice. Then I was blasted off from the rebound air of Bakugo’s explosions as he flew past Todoroki. I cursed and shifted back to a bird, however, I couldn’t fly quick enough to catch up to the angry blonde. Suddenly a large explosion set off at the beginning of this obstacle. Everyone on the course was stunned by the blast, and looked towards it to see Midoriya flying away, holding a piece of the robot's armour from the first obstacle. I was the first to recover, and easily caught up to where we were fighting to win.

Deciding to let him win, I slowed down a tad, making it seem as if I was tiring from the constant shifting, flying and running. 

Midoriya made it back first, me close behind, with Todoroki and Bakugo in third and forth.  Lída made it in 16th place, I was happy that she passed.

I saw Bakugo glaring at the three of us who were ahead of him, and decided that maybe I should let him get ahead of me in the next round. 

I glanced up at the announcers box, where Present Mic and dad were. I couldn't see him, but knowing he could see me made my nerves calm a little. 

It was going to be a long day.
