(First stage of the Sports festival, most of 1-A sticks together! – Except Mineta.)
Gather round Mass Media! It's time once again to see the high schoolers you know and love revel in their youth! Present Mic's voice could be heard from everywhere, Izuku was currently pacing back and forth in the 1-A waiting room, his classmates watched him as he muttered quietly to his guides, obviously in a panic over that day's events. It's Yuuei's Sports Festival! Everybody-Are you ready?!
"No, I' not ready… I can't do this!" Izuku gasped, Kacchan was at his side and rubbed his back. In the last week approaching the sports festival Izuku had slowly began to fall to stress and the news, though it was getting less about him, still mentioning him, and wondering if he would even be in the sports festival. 1-A began to see what Izuku saw in Kacchan, aside from Nana and Oniichan, Kacchan was the only one who could really stop Izuku going into a full blow panic attack.
"You can do this Deku!" Kirishima beamed. Izuku looked over at him and the others, they were all smiling at him.
"Yeah, you are already so strong Deku! You have a good chance of winning this!" Uraraka added with a smile. "So, ignore what everyone else says. We know you!"
"Though, when we get to final, I won't be easy on you." Todoroki added, Izuku smiled at him, he took a deep breath and nodded.
"Better now?" Kacchan asked
"Yeah… thank you. I really wouldn't know what I would do without you all." Izuku smiled at his class.
"You would be lost, that's what!" Kaminari grinned. "Now come on! Each and everyone of us needs to get into the final."
"That's going to be hard. Considering that 1-B is out to get us and there are a fair few students from general studies trying to get into our course." Yaoyorozu spoke up. "We all have to face that competition."
"We can do this, we went up against villains and all survived." Sero said. "No other class can make that claim."
"That does give us a slight advantage." Izuku nodded, they all looked at him, he was looking to his left, where everyone assumed Nana and Oniichan were standing. "We have faced Villains, and we know what they are capable of doing. From that we should take the lesson of not hesitating, sometimes we just need to act."
"I agree, what ever this festival has planned to throw at us, we need to face it fearlessly!" Kirishima nodded, the class cheered. Izuku smiled, they had this!
It's Yuuei's sports festival! The one time a year thing when out fledging heroes compete in a ruthless grand battle. First up… you know who I am talking about! The Miraculous rising stars who brushed off a villain attack with their steely willpower! The first years of the hero course! Mic introduced them, and then the other classes as the stepped out onto the field. Izuku tried hard to ignore the crowd, but it was huge. He began to shake, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Iida, who gave him a smile.
"Ignore them." He advised kindly, Izuku took a deep breath and nodded, though it didn't help the majority of the students from the other classes were glaring at him, Izuku was pleasantly surprised to see who his class formed a barrier between him, shielding him from their glares. He was thankful. After Kacchan's pledge, more like him basically just saying he was going to get the top spot, Midnight revealed the first stage – An Obstacle course.
Izuku found himself running with everyone else.
'Todoroki is about to use his ice!' Nana warned just in time. Using his own ice, Izuku was able to dodge it, he caught Todoroki watching him as he run off, a small smile of expectation on his face. Izuku smiled, and grinned.
"This is it!" He smiled and picked up the speed, 1-A were not surprised at Izuku' speed, they ad see him at the U.S.J. But the others were sure shock by it, they were also surprised by the joyful smile on his face. The first obstacle was giant robots, he looked up at them and frowned, going under then seemed like the best idea, he saw Todoroki skate under then and quickly followed, but as he did, the robots began to collapse over him. He ended up having to skid to a stop, but he was still in the danger zone. He found himself being pulled down and against someone as the sound of collapsing metal blocked out any other news.
"Deku?" Izuku took a shaking breath, some on was standing over him, he looked up, from a little light coming from somewhere, he saw Kirishima. He was hardened and keeping the robot from crushing them. "You alright?" He nodded, Kirishima smiled. "Good, hold on, let's get out of this." He punched through the robot with a harden fist. People sighed in relief as Kirishima limbed out, they watched as he held out a hand and help Izuku up too. Izuku smiled.
"Thanks." He smiled
"No problem. Let's hurry up, a lot of people probably got a head start now!" Kirishima old him, Izuku nodded and they both rushed off.
Seems Like 1-A are both helping each other as well as competing. WHAT SPORTSMANSHIP! Mic yelled, clearly taken by their show of support to each other. Next to him, Aizawa was watching Izuku's progress. The class helping him spoke loader volumes then Mic's voice. They were showing that dispute the rumours about Izuku, despite what everyone is saying, they trust and support him. He smiled slightly into his scarf, his class were just a lot of problem children.
The second obstacle was a canyon, Izuku got across it easily enough, it was the final one that that made him stop.
'Mines, not that powerful, but will sure nock you off your feet. Plan kid?' Oniichan asked, Izuku looked around at all the people being blasted, ahead, at the front was Todoroki and Kacchan.
"I guess I really make my big entrance here…" Izuku smirked, moving to the edge of field and activated his lost shadow quirk and disappeared. Using the shadows, he was able to avoid all the Mines, at the end of the mine field, he popped back into view, much to everyone's surprise.
"DAMN IT DEKU!" Kacchan yelled, Izuku turned beamed at him, before setting off at a run. Kacchan cursed and both he and Todoroki hurried after the greenette.
The one who made it back to the stadium first is NONE OTHER THEN MIDORIYA IZUKU! Mic announced. Izuku slowed to a stop, breathing heavily. He jumped as Kacchan grabbed his arm, and then proceed to lean against his as he caught his own breath.
"What the actual fuck Deku?" He looked at him. Izuku smiled, he was about to answer when Todoroki joined them as did some more of their class. All of them in fact, the whole of 1-A got into the second stage.
"Man, what was that quirk you used at the mine field!" Sera asked.
"Oh, Lost shadow." Izuku replied, his class gather around him, Mineta stood back with a sour look. "I can become a shadow and travel within the shadows for a limited amount of time. It meant I could avoid all the mines on the field."
"That was brilliant!" Kirishima grinned, putting an arm around him. Kacchan watched the red head cautiously for a moment before looking away.
