"Now, let's get started right away," Midnight says once the stadium quiets down enough.
"UA does everything 'right away', huh?" Ochako whispers to herself while Midnight continues talking.
"–first game is what you would call a qualifier! Every year, many drink their tears here!" Winter smiles in determination as she watches a hologram appear behind Midnight. "Now, here is the fateful first game!"
Winter raises an eyebrow at the suspenseful music. "The first game is... this!" Obstacle Course.
"Yes, an obstacle course race!" Winter cheers to herself, a bright grin growing on her face.
"All 11 classes will participate in this race. The course will be the outer circumference of this stadium–about four kilometers! Our school's selling point is freedom! As long as you stay on the course, it doesn't matter what you do! Now, take your places, everyone."
Winter shakes out her hands in excitement and gives her class a excited–slightly feral–grin. "Hope you are all ready to be dominated! I will not hold back!"
"A-ah, Winter-san... you're really funny..." Mina says with a pale face. Winter's grin becomes more feral.
"I'll try not to hurt your egos too badly! Good luck~!" Winter says cheerfully before almost skipping over to the starting line.
"Don't fucking act like your gonna win, Albino Bitch! First place is mine!" Katsuki snarls, following after the white haired teenager. She giggles and leans forward, staring straight into the blonde's eyes.
"Oh, you are so cute thinking you can beat me..." Winter says sweetly "...but, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I hope you bite and not just bark."
Katsuki grins almost as feral as Winter and laughs menacingly. "Wanna fucking bet?"
"Hm..." Winter takes a step forward, glancing around casually. No one was paying them any mind, except the media, but they couldn't hear them.
"I want a date, when I win. You choose the place, and the appropriate attire, but I want the date to be this Saturday," Winter says quietly, ears and cheeks turning pink. Katsuki leans back in slight surprise, staring at her for a few moments. His face explodes in bright red and he averts his gaze.
"He is so adorable when flustered..." Winter thinks, stifling a giggle. Katsuki gets most of his surprise under control and smirks.
"Fine, but when I win, you cook me a good fucking dinner at your fucking mansion. One that you cook, not your multiple shitty chefs and cooks. And you redesign my hero costume for me and I get to decide if I wanna fucking use it or not," Katsuki says, making Winter laugh quietly. Her face becomes slightly pinker.
"Okay, deal. I look forward to that date, Katsuki," Winter says calmly, before turning around and starting her walk to the starting line again. She's incredibly excited. It's been a while since anyone was able to be a challenge for her.
Winter stares up at the three green lights, watching as the first light goes out. She crouches down slightly, arms spread out. Her feral grin appears again.
The second light goes out. Icy mist starts to appear out of Winter's hands, forming frost on her fingertips.
The third light goes out. "Start!"
Ice shoots out of Winter hands, forcing her out of the crowd and into the air. She taps her heels together as she descends to the ground. Ice forms on the ground right before Winter lands and she immediately starts skating.
"Lady Ravette flies out of the crowd and takes first place with her COOL Quirk! She is the first to reach the first obstacle, how 'bout that Zombie Man?!" Present Mic's loud commentary doesn't break Winter's determination or focus as she starts to speed up.
"Depends on how well she can keep her spot," Shōta speaks through the microphone, sounding completely exhausted.
"Duck!" Winter's instincts blare alarms in her head and she forces herself to bend backwards, avoiding a giant robotic hand. "Robots? Pretty easy to outmaneuver..."
"Lady Ravette springs back with her creepy flexibility and avoids the zero pointer's attack! She doesn't even break her momentum! Lady Ravette is giving everyone a run for their money!" Winter twirls around the multiple zero pointers and passes the first obstacle. She gains even more momentum, grin becoming even more feral.
"Todoroki Shōto, Bakugō Katsuki, and Yaoyorozu Momo quickly get out of the crowd and grabs second, third, and fourth place!" The white haired teenager hums at the information and turns her head. She sees one of Katsuki's giant explosions and laughs freely.
"This date is going to be fantastic!" Winter faces forward and soon reaches the second obstacle. She laughs again and doesn't slow down.
"Nezu-Sensei definitely asked for Ms. Simmons's opinion," She thinks excitedly before lifting her right foot and skating on one of the cables attached to the cliff and the columns leading towards the other side of the course.
"Lady Ravette shows amazing skill and skates across one of the cables with complete ease! She isn't even surprised by the second obstacle! She's so COOL!" Present Mic shouts into the microphone, making the stadium cheer loudly. "Todoroki-san and Bakugō-san quickly pass the first obstacle and are gaining ground on Lady Ravette! Will one of them take first place from her?!"
"Unlikely, but there is still a chance. Lady Ravette has 11 years of ice skating experience and has multiple medals and trophies to show her expertise. If her skates are compromised, she may not be able to win," Shōta informs tiredly, making Winter frown slightly. She almost falls off the cable when a loud explosion behind her startles her.
"What the fuck are you doing, Albino Bitch?! Think you can win that easily, huh?!" Katsuki shouts angrily, a feral grin on his face. Winter looks up and sees Katsuki flying in the air with his explosions.
She grins brightly and giggles, stopping once she reaches the other side of the obstacle. "If you wanted me to hold back, you could have just asked!"
"You fucking bitch!" Winter laughs at the shout and continues to skate again. Shōto catches up with Katsuki and starts to fight him, making Winter smile.
"Boys." She thinks fondly as she gets to the last obstacle. Winter frowns when she sees dozens of small mounds of dirt across a long stretch of the course.
"Landmines..." Winter gives her surroundings a quick glances before she crouches down. Right as she reaches the first row of land mines, she jumps up and taps her heels together. Before she falls onto the landmines, icy mist appears below her feet and shoots her up in the air.
"Shit!" Winter wobbles in the air as she tries to keep herself balanced. When she knows she won't fall to the ground and on top of the landmines, she starts to slowly float over the minefield.
"Wha–?! Zombie man, what have you been teaching Lady Ravette?! Lady Ravette is using her Quirk to fly over the third obstacle with ease! She really is a prodigy!"
"You can see that making herself fly is not easy. She clearly hasn't been able to train this skill and is pushing herself to get over the obstacle. It is rare to be able to fly and incredibly hard," Shōta argues with Present Mic's praise. Winter smiles slightly, feeling warmth grow in her chest. It has been a while since someone really paid attention to when she should be praised or not.
Winter gasps when her Quirk stops for a moment and she falls a few feet. She quickly focuses back on her Quirk and glances down. Almost past the minefield.
"Get the fuck away from me, Icy Hot!" Winter hears Katsuki's shout and laughs quietly. She redirects her Quirk, making her fall. She uses her Quirk to make an ice slope and slides down it, avoiding the last bit of the minefield.
Winter stumbles to a stop before she goes into a dead sprint. She grins brightly as she runs into the dark tunnel, hearing the loud, echoing cheers of the crowds.
"With no competition at all, Lady Ravette Winter dominates the obstacle course race and takes first place!"
"WINTER! WINTER! WINTER!" Winter slows to a stop once she passes the finish line. She gives the cameras another heart with a cheerful smile.
"Of course they're cheering for me," The white haired teenager thinks bitterly, still smiling. She walks over to the raised podium, shaking out her hands with a small shiver. It shouldn't take too long for everyone else to finish.
Winter's smile turns warm when she remembers her bet. "I wonder where he will take me..."
Hey! Hope you like the new chapter... so, I feel like this was a bit rushed, I hope it isn't and I'm just overthinking it. Though, I did meant for Winter to finish the race quickly.
Hope you all are enjoying the story so far! Bye.
