That time I was reborn as a warrior princess
Chapter7- Sports festival part 2

Everybody in the stadium fell silent; in the middle of the field there was a huge wingeless brown dragon in Kirishima's 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.

In the audience, Lucina's group and the other UA students were equally shocked by the events that just happened.

"Laurent, please tell me that boy, Kirishima, did not just become a fucking earth dragon, did he?!"

Gerome was very shocked. He heard stories about earth dragons and most of them were not good. Not good at all.

Laurent was so astounded he could not speak anything at all. He could not even move to adjust the glasses falling from his face. Yarne and Noire were equally astonished by these events.

The people in the stadium were not the only ones to be shocked. Kirishima was sweating cold. He had no idea how he became a dragon. He was afraid to even move. He looked at Lucina with a look that reminded the blue haired girl of the look of a lost puppy.

"Ok Kirishima, listen to me. You have to focus to be human." Lucina says, trying to calm Kirishima down, even if she is just freaked out like he was. She is trying to remember how Yarne and Nah do when they use their beast and dragon stones and how they return to their human forms after battles. " Think of your human image. That's the key."

Kirishima nods and he closes his eyes. His body glows as he slowly starts to shrink. When the glow fades away, Kirishima is back to his human self with the jewelry still hanging in his mouth. He grabs it and returns it to Lucina.

"I think this belongs to you." Kirishima says, very awkwardly, "Girl, what just happened to me?"

Before Lucina could answer, she heard Mic through the audio

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE'RE GOING TO A 30 MINUTES BREAK!"

In a waiting room, Lucina can feel an anger aura around Aizawa. He is demanding why Kirishima had become a huge dragon in front of national Tv. Yarne sweat drops; Aizawa's attitude reminds him of Frederick. The former royal knight captain of Ylisse always had the same look as Aizawa whenever they got themselves into some trouble. Hizashi , aka Present Mic wastrying to calm Aizawa down.

"Professor Aizawa, you can not blame Lulu with this! We had no idea Kirishima was a manakete!" Noire says, defending her friend.

"Wait, I am what now?" Kirishima blinks confused, appointing to himself

"Err… You're not talking about the dragon folk from your world, are you?" Hisashi asks.

"Yes." Lucina answers. Then she looks at Kirishima "Kirishima, when you grabbed my chain, this stone, it is a dragon stone. The reason why you've become a dragon is because the dragon stone reacted to your dragon blood. Somehow you have the blood of dragons running in your veins. That means you're a manakete; a shapeshifter who can become a dragon using a dragon stone."

"So, I have dragon blood in my veins?" he asks. Then he smiles with his eyes shining in excitement. " That's so cool!"

Lucina, Gerome , Laurent, Noire and Yarne sweatdropped at his reaction. Gerome face palmed, telling the red haired boy he was not taking this situation very seriously. Aizawa asks how Kirishima had dragon blood if Grima was the only dragon around. Kirishima was now confused: they did not mention Grima was a dragon. He thought he was just a dark mage.

"Perhaps he is not the only one to be here." Laurent says, getting the attention of everyone. "Guys, the history between the dragon tribes and the human race was very bloody in our world. Some manakete had to run and go hiding because they were being hunted down by humans. Kirishima's bloodline is an earth dragon. They say earth dragons are in the pair in power with divine dragons. Perhaps an earth dragon had opened a dimensional gate to escape from the hunting and ended up in this world long before us."

"Lau…" Lucina starts " If your theory is correct, there is also a possibility other dragon tribe men somehow ended up here too. Divine dragon tribes and earth dragon tribes had followers from other dragon tribes after all."

"Could be… the quirks of this world have origins from the dragons of our world?" Laurent asks in wonder "That could explain why Kirishima can become an earth dragon. His hardening quirk must be from his ancestor earth dragon. I heard about that earth dragons have hard skins after all."

Before Laurent and Lucina could even come up with more conspiracy theories about quirks, he interrupted them, very annoyed.

"Are you telling us we may have more dragons running around here?" Aizawa asks. He already can feel more headache coming to him.

"Not exactly." Yarne says. " Like beast men myself, manakete can not turn into dragons without a dragon stone." Then, he took a stone out from his back. It was very similar to Lucina's gem, except instead of green, Yarne's gem was red. " Kirishima here only became a dragon because he grabbed Lucina's dragon stone and reacted to his bloodline. Without dragon stones, manaketes can't turn into dragons, just like how I can not turn into my taguel form without my beast tone. So, we're safe."

Aizawa sighs in relief. But he wonders if his college hero, Ryukyu, is a manakete as well since she can transform into a dragon. He feels they are hiding more information about manaketes. Very important information. He decides to question them after the sports festival.

"And it's rude eavesdropping." Laurent says as he uses his wind magic to open the door,

Suddenly, Mina, Ochako, Kaminari, Mineta, Hanta, Sato, Kyoka and Iida all fell into the floor when Laurent opened the door. Iida was the first to get up.

"I am sorry, sensei! I tried to stop them but they did not listen to me!" Iida bowed , apologizing to his teacher.

Aizawa just massages his temples and says they will talk about this after the sports festival. The teacher releases them since they only have ten minutes left of break. The students leave the room.

"Well, that was unexpected." Hizashi comments " Very unexpected."

"Tell me about it…" mutters Aizawa " I am too old for this shit…"

After the break the sports festival returned to their activities. The next event was revealed it was going to be a royal first fight was Shinsou Hitoshi x Bakugou Katsuki. Lucina frowned; She did not want to watch the fight. Especially because she knew the results anyway. She excused herself, telling her friends she will be going to the canteen.

"Eh? You are not going to watch the fight?" Ochako asks.

"I already know the results of this fight, Miss Uraraka." Lucina says, smiling.

Most of the people shiver. Lucina's smile is not a gentle smile. It is a smile full of malice. When she leaves, Yarne looks at Noire, scared.

"Noire, what did that explosion guy do to Lucina? It is rare to see Lucina this angry!"

"I..I.. I don't know!" she exclaimed " I never saw her interacting with him! Actually, she kinda avoids him like if he was a plague or a dark curse!"

"Well, I can't blame her. I mean, he speaks very vulgarly and he's always angry. No sane girl would want to be around him. Except for Kirishima here, Bakugou does not interact with anyone here." Kyoka says.

Gerome raises his eyebrow in confusion; Lucina usually does not behave like this. She always acts neutral before knowing people around her. Actually, she acts very weird whenever Bakugou is around. He is very sure there is more about them than meets the eyes. And he will find out.

Katsuki frowns at his opponent. If Tails is right, that kid has some brainwashing it only works if he responds. He just needs to be silent to win this round. He smirks; this is an easy victory.

The kid was fast, he has to admit. He is able to avoid him while trash talking to him. It was getting annoying and Byleth is feeling Katsuki is already losing his cool.

"With a shitty personality like yours, I bet you like hurt people just to make you feel superior!"

Byleth's eyes widened in horror. That kid did not just say that. She knew how Katsuki was sensitive with anything involving his past actions.

"YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT…." Then, everything had gone blank. He got controlled by his quirk.

"Whoa, whoa, what's going on?!" Present Mic demanded ," Bakugou is not moving an inch! He's just sitting there like a gaping fish! Did Shinsou already hit him with his Quirk?! I didn't see anything!"

"This is why I've been saying the Entrance Exam is illogical," Aizawa grunted. " Shinso Hitoshi's Quirk is actually quite powerful, but it's got no use against robotic enemies, like my Quirk. There's just no way for someone to pass an exam like that even with a Quirk as strong as his."

Shinso was half-glaring at Bakugou, the dark bags under his eyes giving him an almost frightening appearance. "It must be nice to be so blessed with a powerful quirk like yours, Bakugou Katsuki. Now do me a favor: turn around and walk out of bounds."

Obediently, his legs respond. His body turns itself around and starts carrying him, step by step, toward the boundaries of the ring.

Byleth could not let this happen. The night before the day's event, she saw Katsuki praying to his deceased friend, Izuku, promising him he would win the festival for the green haired boy and not for himself.

"KATSUKI!" Byleth cried out

Suddenly he stops his tracks

"WHOA!" Present Mic jumped in surprise. " Wait, what? Bakugou stopped in his tracks!"

Aizawa raised an eyebrow curiously. He snapped out of it on his own? How?

Katsuki blinked in confusion as he looked at his hands and touched his face. "Wait, I just possessed Katsuki's body?! EEHH!?" At that moment it was not Katsuki who was moving around, it was Byleth and she just possessed Katsuki's body.

Byleth was completely lost. She remembered Sothis never had possessed her body when she was alive in Fódlan. Sharing her power with her? Yes. Giving annoying advice? Yes. Fusing with her and making her somewhat a divine figure? Yes. But Sothis never had possessed her body! Byleth had no idea she could do that with Katsuki. She wondered if Sothis had the capacity to possess her too, she only did not do such a thing because either she had no idea she could do this or she just simply did not want to do it.

"How did you…?" Shinsou trailed off, stunned. His voice jerked Byleth back to reality and the possessed boy spun back around. Shinsou had noticed Bakugou's eyes were green; he could swear Bakugou's eyes were red a minute ago.

There was a blur of motion and then Byleth was in his face. Hitoshi froze in surprise as Byleth grabbed him by the collar and shoved him back.

"Let me go!" Shinsou yelled, swinging a fist and connecting with Byleth/Katsuki's nose.

Blood started trickling down his face and onto his lip, but Byleth ignored it and gave another hard shove at the very brink of her control limit, lifting Hitoshi off the ground and shoving him over the line so he was out of bounds.

"I am sorry…" she apologizes.

She was not apologizing to Shinsou but to Katsuki. Then, the green eyes returned to their usual red color. Katsuki blinked confused as everybody in the stadium were cheering for his victory. Katsuki gritted his teeth in anger and closed his hands into fists; this was not his victory!

"Byleth! How could you?!" Katsuki yells in his mind, angrily.

Byleth just keeps silent.

Lucina sighed as she heard the victory chers while finishing her snack at the canteen. Just like she had imagined, Bakugou won the first round. She was just surprised it took a while.

She cleans the table and thanks to Lunch Rush for the food. Before she can leave the canteen, a huge flamed figure blocks her path.

"You're here. Good. I want to talk to you before your fight."

It was the number 2 hero Endeavor.

End of the chapter.

And that's part 2 of the sports festival arc.

I admit I kinda wanted to make Lucina vs Shinsou fight there but I thought, how can I make Lucina win in this fight? In the original, Izuku won because he had help from the past vessels of One For All. Since Katsuki has Byleth as his spirit partner in this story, I decided to make him fight against Shinsou instead of Lucina. But since Byleth interfered with his fight, Katsuki would see this as an empty victory. I mean, Katsuki kinda reacted very badly for Todoroki not fighting him with all his power after all.

Surprised to see Byleth possessing Katsuki? Well I always had this headcanon that Sothis had the capacity to possess Byleth. She only did not do it because she did not know how to do it or she just did not want to do it. And Byleth will show more of her powers in the future chapters.

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

Next chapter we will see Todoriki Shoto vs Lucina fight.
