That time I was born as a warrior princess

Chapter6- Sports Festival part 1

The big day has finally arrived. UA is hosting the annual Sport Festival. Lucina is in the waiting room along with her group and her UA colleges. She is happy that Nedzu had agreed with her plan. Her plan is to use Falchion in the first event , that will be enough to gain Grima attention. After that, she will not use Falchion afterwards since she wants to be fair with everyone. But that does not mean she will go easy with everyone. Her second part of the plan is for Gerome, Yarne, Noire and Laurent to not compete in the event. First they don't really care about this kind of thing and second is to keep the surprise factor. She wants to make Grima think she is alone. Nedzu agreed with her plan and he allowed her to use her sword only for the first event and keep her friends out of the competition. She is very thankful for the small animal agreeing with her plan.

Half an hour later the festival finally began. Everyone in their gym uniform as they walk to the center of the stadium along with Hero Class 1B, following our Hero Course is General Studies Classes 1C, 1D, and 1E. The Support Course Classes 1F, 1G, and 1H .And last but not least, the Business Course Classes 1I, 1J, and 1K. All of U.A's first years have arrived in the center of the event.

The mass of students all gathered on the field in front of a podium, upon which stood the Pro Hero, Midnight, adorned in her hero costume. The costume in question had been designed to make full use of her Quirk, but whether by necessity or personal preference, it was quite the outfit. Lucina sweat dropped when she saw Yarne, Gerome and Laurent all blushing, very embarrassed with the heroine's outfit. She even heard Laurent muttering Midnight was a mad woman and her outfit was not appropriate to such an event. And she rolled her eyes when she heard Mineta and Kaminari saying they approved Midnight's outfit.

Midnight cracked a flogger style whip to silence the crowd and get the attention of the students. "Quiet, everyone! It's time for the player's pledge! Representing the first years as a whole is Katsuki Bakugou from Class 1A!"

Lucina groaned in disapproval. She knew Bakugou when she was Izuku, she knew he would screw things up. I mean, he kinda declared war towards everyone else the other day.

Katsuki made it to the top of the podium and paused in front of the mic. The mass of students and watching crowds waiting in silence for several seconds before he opened his mouth.

"I pledge," Katsuki drawled. "That I'll be number one."

Virtually every member of 1A mentally screamed. I KNEW HE'D SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT!

The rest of the first years were outright pissed.

"What the hell?!"

"Stop messing around!"

"Don't be so full of yourself, 1A!"

Byleth, who was invisible to everyone, looked at Bakugou with a big disappointed face.

" Katsuki! What have we talked about?!" she yells at him

And Bakugou just ignored her, only making Byleth even more angrier. He kept a straight face, but his expression visibly darkened a moment later. "Sorry, but you've got the wrong idea. This ain't a pledge, it's a declaration of war to all the classes. I'm not losing to any of you, Hero Course or otherwise."

An epic silence filled the entirety of the stadium as they processed that statement.

Lucina only frowned in anger as memories of her time as Izuku came to her mind. Bakugou did not change anything at all! She closed her hand into a first in anger. That moment, she promised herself she would not allow Bakugou to win. She would make sure of that.

"Whoowee!" Present Mic exclaimed, bringing the crowds back to life. " You can really feel the tension after that! Talk about bold! Midnight, get things going already! I wanna see the bloodbath!"

"With pleasure," Midnight was grinning wildly. "Let's get things started right away! This first game is what you'd call a qualifier for the later rounds. Many drink their tears here! And the first game is…"

A large, hologram screen popped up behind Midnight, upon which was a whizzing list of potential games not unlike a slot machine.

The Pro hero cracked her whip and the list stopped dead in a game titled "Obstacle Race" that Midnight immediately began to explain. "The Obstacle Race! All eleven classes will participate in this race. The course will be the outer circumference of this stadium- about four kilometers!"

She cracked her whip again and the smile on her face took on a hint of something…sadistic. "Our school's selling point is freedom. As long as you stay on the course, it doesn't matter what you do! Now everyone, take your places!"

The mass of students crowded around the exit of the colosseum, all of them tense and ready to go as soon as the bell sounded three times.

One ring.

"I'm not scared of you," Lucina whispers in her mind. "Not anymore."

Two rings.

Unwillingly, a small smile found its place on Lucina's face. " Because..."

Three rings.

"START!" Shouted Midnight.

Immediately, chaos ensued.

"I am Lucina , princess of Ylisse. A fucking warrior princess!"

And she ran like the wind.

The first she was the winner of the race. She smiles when she releases it. She defeated Bakugou in the first event and she feels great! She smirks when she sees Bakugou looking at her with angier eyes. She is not a victim anymore.

The second event involved the cavalry battle. The event itself was difficult since she did not know the people of 1A and to make things worse she had the highest points of all; 10 million points headband. Fortutuality, luck was on her side. The red haired boy, Kirishima offered himself to her horse. Lucina could not help to think his help came with motives.

"You're helping me because you wanna be in good grace with Gerome, aren't you?" she asks, crossing her arms, smirking.

"Heheh, you caught me." he chucks as he rubs his hand behind his neck, embarrassed. "You see, I wanna be close with Minnie and for that I need Gerome-bro to like me. And I thought helping you may do the work."

Lucina could not help but laugh. She could not imagine anyone calling Minerva ( a huge wyvern) "Minnie" and much less Gerome "Gerome-bro". Kirishima was a funny guy. Plus, he liked wyverns as much Gerome did and she already liked him.

Then, Uraraka joined her team along with Hatsume Mei; a girl from the Department of Support. As long as she can use and show off her "babies", she is cool with tem.

The battle has already stated, just like she had thought everyone was targeting her for her headband. But she smirks when she pushes them off with her wind magic.

In the audience, Gerome, Laurent , Yarne and Noire were watching the battle. Laurent was pleased to see Lucina was using magic for this event instead of weapons.

"You know, Lucina could have become a great tactician if she wanted it. She had talent for this. She is great in both magic and swordfight." Laurent says " It is a shame she does not use magic as often as I would like."

"Oh, why is that? She looks cool using magic. Why doesn't she use it often?" Sado, one of the very few 1A students who did pass the first event, was with them, asked

Laurent frowns and he tells him that Lucina does not use magic often because of a certain person. Lucina's teacher was a tactician and he had a great talent for both magic and sword. This could not say the same to his daughter. Lucina didn't want to cause discord between her teacher and his daughter and because of this she decided to focus on her lord class instead. But in the end it was in vain because that person had betrayed them when she joined Grima before they went to the past. Sado decided to be quiet, noticing the subject was sensitive to them.

The battle is still processed. Lucina is actually happy to see one of the boys from 1B class had angered Bakugou and printed a target on his back in the process. Bakugou can be feral when someone angers him. Now all she had to worry about was Team Todoroki which had Todoroki, Iida, Yaoyorozu and Kaminari.

To fight Todoroki's ice off, Lucina uses her fire magic to melt it. But Lucina's biggest concern is Iida. Iida's speed rivals her own or even greater. When Iida bursted his speed, Lucina's team managed to avoid them from taking their headband somehow, but Lucina's silver chain with a shiny stone broke with the impact. Without thinking, Kirishima caughts the chain with his mouth, thinking the jewelry was important to the blue haired girl.

"Gotchta!" he smiles.

But the stone shone and a big bust of energy made everyone in the field be blown away. Everybody in the stadium fell silent; in the middle of the field there was a huge wingless brown dragon in Kirishima's place with Lucina, Uraraka and Hatsume on his back. Lucina's eyes widened in pure shock as her jaw literally dropped.

"EEEHHHHHH?!""

And the time is up.

Somewhere else a figure was watching the festival. He had an evil smile printed in his lips.

"Oh an earth dragon? What a rarity."

End of the chapter

A/N: And that's the first part of the sport festival.

I hope you all liked it. Are you surprised to see Kirishima being a dragon? You can blame all the fanarts and stories based on the fantasy Au from the season 2 ending theme 2- Datte Atashi no Hero.

And I plan make some fights very different from the original anime/manga, you know,

to not make the same thing over and over again.

For those who are not familiar with the Fire Emblem series. Tactician is a class that can use both magic and sword. Lucina can change her class from lord to tactician if female robin is her mother.

Why is she not a tactician? It will be explained in the future chapters.

Next chapter: Sport Festival part 2

Spoilers; next chapter we will see Shinsou vs Bakugou!

Do not forget to leave your kudos and comments. They make me to write more and more!

See you all in the next chapter!
