No sound could be heard from Hiro's house. However, there was someone, he was downstairs, in the laboratory.If one went down, one could hear blows and screams of rage. Always faster, always stronger.
It's not enough.
Faster.
Stronger.
More agile.
Still not enough.
I have to do more.
To do better.
I have to suit them.
I must suit these hypocrites.
The blows became more intense and faster. Sweat was running down Dust's forehead, he wiped it with the back of his hand while blowing out a breath. His body was shaking, and he was struggling to stand. Dust was a fairly weak person physically, he ate and slept little.The tremors were visible on his frail body, he fell to the ground, catching his breath.
It's not enough.
He got up, shaking as he clung to the walls. He told himself that he had done enough for today, despite his desire to continue. He headed towards the exit, walking with difficulty, his step heavy and trembling.This compulsive need became more and more dangerous and exhausted him more and more as it went on. Each session brought him closer and closer to something mortal, playing sports, and doing so intensely, in such a deplorable state, was clearly a bad idea.
He went to his room, violently closing the door behind him and collapsing into his bed.His room was dark, dark, and disordered. Different papers on which were various drawings, various songs, various letters, stories, different clothes, sharp objects of all kinds and other accessories littered the floor. Drops or pools of blood were also present. The little light that was in the room let us see the number of broken objects, writings, or scratches on the walls.
His room was nothing but desolation, disorder, and despair.
Was this the reflection of his mind?A few days passed, and it was finally time for 1-A to participate in the Championship.Dust was very nervous at the thought of so many people watching him, especially pro heroes. As many expectations will be placed on the first class, particularly the 1-A students, because of the USJ attack. Dust was also very shy and had a lot of trouble being judged and how others viewed him and his actions. This thing made him nervous to an almost unbearable point in certain situations.
Cheered by the crowd, Second A arrives inside the field, along with the other first class from U.A High School. Aizawa and Present Mic were the people who would introduce the event, and Midnight would be one of the people who hosted it.Once all the students were present, Midnight asked Katsuki Bakugo to make a speech or oath.
"I swear to be number 1."All the students looked at him with hatred and contempt, a sort of aura of fury emanating from them. 1-A was also very upset by Bakugo's oath, making them the number 1 target.
With this done, Midnight began the draw for the first event. The first event was an obstacle course, they had to go around the field and then enter it through one of the many other entrances.
Departure was announced, and the students crowded into the exit corridor. Some students were more ingenious than others and found a way to get through despite this crowding.
Dust manages to free himself from the other students by going from below. His agility and speed were still very good assets. Once out of the hallway, the first class faced the 0-point entrance exam simulator.
A 1-A student named Shoto Todoroki and son of the professional hero Endeavor, and number 2 in the hero rankings, used his ice quirk to immobilize one of the simulators. Some students took it as an opportunity to pass, only for the simulator to fall and crush them. Two Heroic First Year students, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and Eijiro Kirishima took the simulator, having similar Quirks, the two students escaped unharmed.
This incident was an opportunity for certain students, including Dust, who took the opportunity to pass quickly and discreetly.
Not far from the simulators there was a chasm, there were a few stone pillars there, connected by ropes.
How to get to the other side?
Dust got an idea thanks to his quirk. He could make a Spike big enough to create a sort of slope, then jump to the other end of the chasm. Once a minimum close to the ground, he will do another Spike to slide to the ground without injury.He then executed his idea and managed to reach the other side of the chasm without problem.
Then came the final obstacle. A minefield, a few students were in front of Dust, including Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki and Izuku Midoriya.
After a while, he managed to make his way through and continued the race until he reached the end of the race, in the top 7.
Little by little, the rest of the participants arrived, being too numerous, another elimination test had to be chosen. This event was the Battle of the Riders, it consisted of the formation of teams of four students from U.A High School. Each person had a number of points according to their ranking in the obstacle course. The closer a person came to first place, the more points they have. The first, on the other hand, receives ten million points. The goal of this event is to have the most points, presented in the form of banners. Thus, the former are the most disadvantaged, being the targets of this battle.(Thanks MHA Wiki)
Being the first in the race, Izuku Midoriya was the person with the most points. This made him the number one target, and no one wanted him on any team.Finally, he still managed to form a team composed of Fumikage Tokoyami, Ochaco Uraraka and Mei Hatsume.
The winners of the event were Shoto Todoroki and his team members. So were the participants of the last event.
(Yes... I don't like this part, so I just skipped it)
A break was given to the students, then Midnight would take stock and ask students if they would like to abandon the test.
During the break, Dust went for a walk in the corridors, went to a vending machine and bought himself a drink before returning to the field. He opened it, letting the bubbles rise and the foam flow before taking a sip. Meal time was coming soon, and the students had to leave the stadium.
Dust then headed towards the bus that was going to take his class. He got in first and was able to take a seat at the back of the bus. A student from his class came and sat next to him, her name was Mina Ashido. She spoke kindly to him, telling him that his performance had been pretty amazing. Dust thanked her in a small voice, she smiled and looked at her phone until she arrived in front of the school.
Once there, the students got off the bus and went straight to the dining hall to eat, something Dust did not do. He sat on the front steps, slowly finishing his drink, looking up at the blue sky.Suddenly something vibrated in his pocket, it was his phone. He looked at it to see a message from Hiro, it told him that he was proud of Dust and that he should continue like this. He also told him not to hesitate to call him or send him a message if things weren't going well or if the pressure was too much for him.
Dust didn't respond to the messages and just stared at the sky while sipping his drink before finishing it.
Shortly after, the students returned to the stadium. However, something unexpected caught the attention of spectators, facilitators, and even students.Students from 1-A were dressed as cheerleaders, in reality, it had been a "trap" on the part of two students from the same class, wanting to take advantage of their slightly naked bodies. (Basically perverts ...)
The break ended quickly, the test was about to start.When Midnight asked, two students said they refused to continue and preferred to give up.
The students were determined about the tournament, but also a little anxious, not knowing who they were going to fight against.Dust wasn't anxious about it, he was mostly afraid that fatigue or his emotions would get the best of him. It is therefore in this context that the last test would begin. . .
