Leptic Hype: hay ray what's up fag good storytelling.
Nothing much shrimp dick, thanks for that compliment lmao XD.
ArashiSenju: Eh it's kind of rushed with Momo a bit of a cringe he only known her for like less then two days kind of too much for a character that tries to distance himself from people. Idk just personal opinion though other then that I enjoy the rest.
Not gonna lie, when I first saw this I was soooooo confused cause I'm like, 'but I made it a dream didn't I?' So I went back and oops lol, quickly fixed that cause yeah, I completely agree with ya in that being WAY too soon. Also thanks for liking the story :)
In the blink of an eye, two weeks of studying and training flew before it was the day of the sports festival.
"Alright. I'm ready!" Midoriya cheers aloud at his front door
"Izuku, be careful, okay?"
"I will, mom!"
"I'll record it, okay?"
"Okay."
"Oh, and Izuku..." He turns once, more to her. "Do your best!"
"Yeah! I'm off!"
Relon looks at the photo of his mom and Aura before picking it up.
I'm heading out now. He places it as he leaves, opening the front door to see Momo clad in the U.A. uniform.
"Ready?" He gives a nod and they're off.
Booming with fireworks, concession stands, and an abundance of people is U.A. High School. Swarming with an audience from all over, heroes at every corner overlook the safety of its civilians. Inside the stadium, we find those of Class 1-A in the waiting room awaiting their call to go out. Bakugou, Kirishima, Sero, Todoroki, and Kaminari at the first table. Sato, Shoji, Tokoyami, and Aoyama seated at the second. Uraraka, Tsuyu, Hagakure, Mina, and Ojiro at the third. Momo and Jirou are at the last with Deku and Mineta standing in the middle. Relon and Kanao are in the back leaning against a wall.
"Aw man, I wanted to wear my costume." Mina complains messing with her U.A. gym outfit.
"You know, it's to keep everything fair otherwise it would be unfair." Ojiro comments.
"I wonder what the first round will be like."
"No matter what it is, we must deal with it to the best of our abilities." Tokoyami says.
"Right." Shoji agrees for the door to open wide.
"Everyone, are you ready? We will be leaving soon!" Iida shouts barging in.
Everyone's expressions change to mixtures of excitement and nervousness.
"So how was the training with Midoriya and the Lucinances?"
"Difficult to say the least. Out of all the sparring matches we had, I was never able to beat those three. Midoriya was the only one and even then, I only won barely half the time. Then there was the training regimen those three did. Train individually for an hour, spar each other for two, take a break, then resume with sparring until it would be time to leave. Afterwards, we would go on a one hour jog before finally calling it a night. Yet once Midoriya and I were too tired to even move, Relon ended up using his Eramsus Mode to heal and replenish our stamina. Then we would go off for dinner and then do more sparring or train individually to end off working on schoolwork together. Once it was the weekend, we all had woken up by six in the morning to go out for a morning jog and other exercises. I was always lagging behind simply because I didn't have the endurance the others had but it definitely increased. Next we went onto quirk development. Something I had not thought of. To increase my quirk's usage, I had to constantly use my quirk while simultaneously consuming meals. All of that having been just the first week to repeat it all again. The saving grace was we didn't train this past weekend. So my body finally got to relax. Now I feel good as new and a whole lot stronger." Jirou just looks at Momo, her mouth agape as she tries to process it all.
"That... sound a little more than difficult. Don't you think?"
"It was extremely at first but from all that hard work the first few days, my body adjusted. The difficulty was sparring by far. Relon, Kanao, and Nunu. All three of their combat styles are so different it fits them perfectly. I barely held my own against Kanao and she was greatly holding back still. Nunu was relentless, even using his Malevolence Form at times saying it would help. It helped alright. Helped remind me how large the gap between them and I was." Momo sighs.
"What about Lucinance?"
"Relon was what I'd say the middle between the other two excluding Midoriya. We sparred using staffs against one another. He didn't hold back like Nunu but he remained careful like Kanao. That and he just gave me tips on my staff and other basic things."
"Sounds like you went through a lot."
"That's an understatement."
"Midoriya." Everyone glances to see Todoroki walking up to the green haired teen nonchalantly.
"Todoroki? What is it?"
"Looking at things objectively, I believe I'm stronger than you."
"Huh?"
"But... All Might seems to favor you mire than others, doesn't he? I'm not trying to pry. Just know I plan to beat you." The freckled teen widens at the bicolored student.
"Whoa, a declaration of war from the top student?" Kaminari speaks out.
"Hey! Why pick a fight now all of a sudden?" Kirishima calls placing a hand on the challenging teen. "Not now, we're about to start!"
"We're not here to be friends. So why does it matter?" He shrugs the red head off walking away.
Deku looks to Todoroki, confliction evident on his face and in his mind.
"Todoroki, I don't know what makes you think you're better than me but you're wrong." Said boy turns back around. "These last two weeks I've grown stronger than I ever have. I'm different than I was a few weeks ago. Maybe you are better than me but I don't care." Deku takes a step forward. "Everyone including the students in the other courses are aiming for the top spot with everything they have. I can't afford to fall behind anymore than I already am." Todoroki turns all the way facing Deku. "I plan to win this no matter what!" The ice-user looks on before speaking.
"Yeah."
Relon looks on at the ending altercation.
"It would seem everyone is into the festival." Kanao mumbles, Relon continuing to simply look at the pair's interaction.
Iida announces for everyone's departure. As everyone is heading out, Kanao and Relon are in the back.
"Shinn, are you still thinking of what Crono mentioned earlier?" He nods resuming his thoughts.
Relon and Momo just arrive at school to see Kanao and Nunu waiting at the gate.
"Shinn, Yaoyorozu, good morning. Did you both sleep well?"
"Kanao, Nunu. Good morning. I slept well, thanks for asking." Relon nods. "How about you two?" Kanao nods as everyone looks to Nunu, who's looking at Relon taking a step forward.
"Don't hold back just because we aren't using our forms. If we get matched up, face me as Shinn, our leader." Nunu turns leaving.
Nunu...
He closes his eyes, Kanao having stopped taking notice. He then looks at her. Both looking deep at one another before she nods and continues on. He rocks his head side to side closing his eyes once more to open them, now pure white before returning to normal.
Mission:...
He resumes walking with one objective in mind.
"YOOOOOOOO, what's gooood everyone!" Present Mic announces over the speakers. "Pay attention, y'all! Swarm, mass media! This year's high school rodeo of adolescence that you all love, the U.A. sports festival, is about to begin! Everybody, are you ready!? It's time for the students to enter the first-year stage!" Spectators from tge stands, televisions, amd radios all await the arrival of this year's main attraction.
They exit the dark tunnel as the class appears before all with Relon being the last. The crowd roars in applause at Class 1-A, fireworks booming above the stadium.
Acknowledged.
"The huge battle we're fledgling heroes sharpen their swords once a year! Anyway, these are those guys, right? The miraculous celebrities who overcame enemy attacks with their iron wills! Hero course, Class 1-A, right!?"
"S-so many people!" Deku stutters looking at the crowd.
"Will we be able to give our best while being watched by this many people? This too is a part of training to become a pro." Iida states.
"Man, he's going overboard with the praise. Makes me, somewhat nervous. Wouldn't you say, Bakugou?" Kirishima comments.
"No, I'm getting even more into it."
"They haven't gotten much spotlight, but this class is also full of talent! Class 1-B!" Present Mic speaks as the other classes begin to show up, Nunu leading his class. "Next up, general studies Classes C, D, and E!" The purple haired student from before leading his class. "Support course, Classes F, G, and H are here, too! And business course, Classes I, J, and K! All of the first-years are now here!" All of the classes gather around in the center of the field.
Relon, Kanao, and Nunu exchange a single glance before looking ahead.
"Those three really seem focused, huh?" Jirou whispers to Momo who nods to glance at Relon before turning forward.
He must be thinking of what Nunu said earlier.
The crowd of students face Midnight as the males in the crowd swoon over her for obvious reasons.
"What is Ms. Midnight wearing?" Kirishima averts his eyes.
"That's an R-Rated Hero for you." Kaminari mentions.
"Is it okay for an R-Rated Hero to be a teacher in a High School?" Tokoyami wonders.
"YES!" Mineta shouts from nowhere giving a thumbs up.
"Everyone, be quiet!" The female hero shouts whipping her whip. "Representing the students is Bakugou from Class 1-A!" He walks through the crowd up to the podeum.
"Wait, Kacchan?"
"He did finish first in the entrance exams." Sero comments.
"Ugh, in the hero course." A female student adds, some if the class having heard
"R-right." Deku responds
"It's obvious she hates us." Sero whispers.
"And it's all Bakugou's fault." Kaminari says annoyed.
He reaches where Midnight is and remains silent, everyone aiting for his pledge.
"I pledge... I'll be number one."
I knew he'd do that! Class A mentally exclaims as boos and hollers are roared from the other students.
"Why would you say something so disgraceful!?" Iida shouts waving his robot-like arm.
"At least become a nice step I can jump off of."
"How overconfident can you get!? I'll crush you!" The teen with sharp teeth and messy grey hair states clenching a fist.
He's openly showing confidence so others will want to beat him thereby performing better. Relon looks the spiky teen back to Midnight.
"Now, let's get this underway, shall we? The first round is what you call a qualifier, every year many drink their tears here. Now, here is the first game!" Midnight announces, a bulletin board appearing from nowhere as it rapidly spins through multiple selections.
It slowly begins to halt as it lands on obstacle race.
"All 11 classes will participate in this race. The course will be the outer circumference of the stadium, about four kilometers. Our school's selling point is freedom!" She licks the side if her mouth, a seductive look overtaking. "As long as you stay on the course... it doesn't matter what you do!" Everyone roars in applause at this. "Now, take your places everyone!"
Relon stands in the crowd with Kanao next to him and Nunu appearing on his other saying anything.
3... Kanao thinks as the first green goes out above the gate.
2... Nunu thinks, the second light going out.
1... Relon thinks, the last light going out.
"Start!" Midnight shouts as the horde of students take off.
All of the students begin squeezing through one another, the remnants remain standing where they are.
"Okay, here's the play-by-play! You ready to do the commentary, Caterpillar man?" Present Mic says over the speakers.
"Someone, anyone, I am being held against my will and just want to sleep."
"Ahaha, you're still a joker! Down below, everyone is off and running- Wait! What's this? The whole family of Lucinances aren't moving! Wait again, they seem to be preparing to move!"
"Lucky me. I can see the end of the tunnel..." Nunu mutters materializing his odd short blade as it begins glowing a dark color.
Kanao crouches slightly preparing to jump as a card slides from Relon's sleeve in between his fingers as he holds it to his face. All three closing their eyes before reopening.
Mission: Start! The three think.
Nunu slashes at the air in front of him, a rift forming as he jumps inside for it to then close. Kanao takes off leaping great distances into the tunnel as she jumps between the tunnel walls over the students as they all become distracted at her performance. Relon throws a card before him as he hops on it before surfing through the tunnel above the crowd quickly catching up to Kanao. Suddenly, frost begins to rise from the ground as Todoroki freeze everyone still in the tunnel. Or at least almost everyone.
"Naive, Todoroki!" Momo shouts using her created pole to launch herself from the frost attack out the tunnel.
"You're not getting away from me you half-and-half!" Bakugou shouts launching himself through the air after the ice-user.
Most of Class 1-A along with the other participants slowly make their way along the icy ground. Suddenly ahead of Todoroki, a rift opens for Nunu to jump out now in the lead.
"You THOUGHT you were staying in first place!" He shouts running ahead at a higher speed.
"Damn it!" Todoroki curses attempting to catch up.
SWOOSH!
Two blurs pass by his as his eyes widen seeing Relon on his card with Kanao sprinting now with Nunu.
"INCREDIBLE! IN A SINGLE MOTION, THE WHOLE FAMILY OF LUCINANCES HAVE TAKEN THE LEAD! JUST HOW AMAZING CAN THEY GET!?" Present Mic shouts.
"So that's what Nunu can do. He can make portals!" Momo says to herself now running after the others ahead.
"More people outside of Class A were able to dodge that than I expected. Damn it!" Todoroki says looking back at the students.
"What the hell!?" Nunu shouts as the three remnants are met with the 0-point faux villains used during the entrance exams. "They think those heaps of metal will stop me!?" His blade begins to glow black.
"They seem to underestimate us." Kanao says materializing her pink and white sword as it glows a pink color.
"The robots from the entrance exam!" Midoriya exclaims.
"Why are they here!?" Shout Mineta.
OBSTACLES HAVE SHOWN UP SUDDENLY!STARTING WITH... THE FIRST BARRIER! ROBO INFERNO!"
"Why are you shouting louder now?"
"BECAUSE I CAN! YEEEAAAAAHHHH!"
"Someone put me out of my misery."
"AHAHAHAHA, you're really funny you know that?"
"Those two sure are something." Jirou chuckles nervously.
"I wonder where the school gets the money." Momo adds.
"Robots incoming!" Kaminari shouts as the robots extend their arms preparing their attacks.
Nunu disappears into a rift to reappear at the top of one of the mechs. Kanao makes her way to the top of another jumping from one portion of its metal body to another. Relon begins flying at the middle robot as he maneuvers around its arms at its attempt to hit the black haired teen.
"Void Blade: Sunder!" Nunu launches a black crescent slash as it descends from the top of the robot downwards slicing it evenly in two.
"Fatal Sword: Whirling Gale!" Kanao rotates herself sending multiple pink slashes at the robot's head cutting it into rows as its mechanical body simply falls back with Kanao standing on top of it.
Relon launches from his card as he comes face-to-face with the mechanical 0-pointer before kicking it at the center smashing the face as it too falls. Nunu descends into another portal to reappear past the machines with Relon and Kanao jumping off of theirs with the three taking off.
"AMAZING AMAZING! THOSE THREE HAVE TAKEN DOWN THOSE ROBOTS LIKE THEY WERE NOTHING! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THAT, ERASER HEAD?"
"Clearly those three assessed the situation and dealt with it without hindering their energy or momentum they've gained so far."
"WOOOOW! CONSIDERING TWO ARE YOUR STUDENTS, YOU MUST BE SO PROUD!"
"I expect nothing less from those two."
"Out of my way." Todoroki states freezing a robot as he continues on.
"Like hell I'll try you bastards get ahead of me!" Bakugou shouts flying to one of the robots and blasting it to smithereens.
Lucinance and the others are already moving on! I need to get going too! One for All: Full Cowling!
Deku's body begins to glow its vibrant light as electricity sparks for the boy to dash thought the students towards a robot punching it as it falls against another.
Alright! Time to move.
He prepare to take of but notices a piece of the robot's metal armor.
Maybe that'll come in handy.
He picks it up before moving on.
BOOM.
Some of the participants turn to see Momo with her U.A. gym jacket undone as she's now manning a cannon as the cannon ball implodes against the faux villain creating a larger explosion as other robots near it are caught in the blast creating a chain reaction. She resumes her running after the group.
All that intense training is finally paying off! Normally I can feel the fatigue from making something like this but not now! Not to mention my quirk itself is stronger! That explosion wouldn't have been nowhere near that big. Relon, I'm slowly catching up!
"You think you're all better than me!? Think again!" Bakugou shouts increasing his speed gaining on Todoroki.
"Tch, you talk too much." He turns shooting an ice before resuming his run.
CRASH!
Todoroki looks back seeing his ice wall now laying in pieces and chunks.
"YOU ICY-HOT BASTARD! DON'T THINK THAT WEAK SHIT WILL STOP ME!"
Kacchan is really giving it his all! Even at 3%, I'm barely gaining on them.
"Tell the world, I am here!"
All Might, I won't fail! Those two weeks of training were nothing compared to my training for the entrance exam. And it's time I use the results of that training! One for All: Full Cowling... 5%! Midoriya's slight glow shines brighter as electricity crackles around him and the ground leaving small burn marks. He crouches before taking off.
Yes! There's no longer any strain like when I first used it! I can do this!HOP. HOP. HOP.
"What the?" Bakugou looks behind him to see a green teen he hates all to much speeding up behind him. "THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, DEKU!"
"I'm winning this which means beating you Kacchan!" He shouts now right behind his childhood bully.
"You damn nerd, I'd like to see you try!"
"Everyone is getting much further ahead! Relon and the others along with Todoroki, Bakugou, and Midoriya are ahead. Which means I'm in seventh." Momo looks behind her at the many students including those in class A slowly gaining on her.
"My quirk? What about it?" Momo asks from the kitchen for Relon, whose seated at the bar to spin a finger as words appear.
'You use your lipids to create any non-living thing right?'
"Yes, that's correct. I focus on whatever object I desire down to its subatomic structure Why do you ask?"
'Have you ever tried making more than one at a time?'
She reads to blink a few times raising a hand to her mouth assuming a thinking posture, Relon looking on.
"I attempted to when I was younger but it was too difficult so I just gave up."
'Why not try it now. You're a lot more accustomed to your quirk. Not to mention the training you've been going through me the others and I must have strengthened it.''
"What do I even create?" She asks stirring the pot.
'Why not a flashlight?'
"A flashlight... The ones I've always created have run on electrical wiring. I can try making one with batteries I suppose." She steps away from the kitchen standing in the main room.
First, visualize what I want. Then, construct what is needed. Now, I need to add batteries inside of it.
Relon watches as her face slightly scrunches from focusing so hard.
Visualize the place the batteries will go, then focus on making and placing them there...
TAP.
She opens her eyes losing her concentration.
"Why did you stop me? I was getting there." He twirls his finger.
'You seem to be overthinking it.'
"What do you mean?"
'Creation. The way you describe your quirk, I think of it kinda like ordering to-go. You think what you want, you make it, then when it's ready, you simply pop it out.'
"That's... actually a really good analysis..." He nods in gratitude before forming a circular pattern with his finger.
'Can you try getting to the step when you're ready to pop out the flashlight but hold it and make the batteries, then pull it out together?'
"I can try." She begins focusing once more.
Imagine, then construct. Okay, the flashlight is ready. Now, think of what makes a battery. Form its shape... Okay! A small flashlight begins to push out from her arm for the girl to grab it with her hand before checking the compartment to see two batteries inside. She flicks the switch for the tool to turn on.
"I did it!" She shouts in disbelief looking to her boyfriend who grins back.
If I am to win then I have to go all out as well!
She begins creating the object in mind as she continues to run. Minutes later, she pulls it from her stomach as she places it on her back before pushing a button for her now made jetpack to launch her as she flies low off the ground gaining on her classmates.
"Now that I can create multiple things at once, my skills have just improved!" She clicks a button as it jets behind her enlarge as she propels forward at a faster rate.
"Whoa! Since when could YaoMomo make something like that!?"
"Honestly it's not too surprising. Less awing, more running!" Jirou retorts.
"HEY, HEY! THE FIRST ROUND WAS A PIECE OF CAKE? THEN WHAT ABOUT THE SECOND, Y'ALL?"
The three remnants stop in their tracks as they look at the next round. A sort of chasm with tall stone platforms reaching from what seems like a bottomless pit as each platform is connected to one another by what appears to be rope.
"WELCOME TO, 'THE FALL!' IF YOU FALL, YOU'RE OUT! IF YOU DON'T WANNA FALL, THEN CRAWL!"
"Easy." Is all Nunu says before opening a void portal and stepping inside for it to disappear.
Kanao jumps onto the tightrope running across it as she continues from platform to platform with Relon flying over past her to reach the end with Nunu just coming out. Relon now ahead in first with Nunu close behind followed by Kanao finishing the course.
"THOSE THREE HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! ERASER HEAD, YOUR THOUGHTS!? WE GOTTA KNOW."
"Same as before."
"AMAAAZZZZING!"
"Nothing I can't handle." Todoroki jumps on the tightrope freezing it as he grinds along, Bakugou flying and Midoriya jumping close after.
Momo catches up as she too flies over. Once reaching the end, he jetpack begins to slow down for her to discard it resuming her running.
"It's better that I don't waste all my lipids. I'm in the top 10. Not to mention I don't know when our break will be."
"Would you look that that guy? He's amazing!" Someone amongst the audience says.
"His natural athletic ability and judgment are also a cut above everyone else's." Another comments.
"It's pretty obvious why! He's the number two hero, the flame hero, Endeavor's son after all!"
"No wonder! The blood of the guy second only to All Might!"
"They'll be fighting over who gets him as a sidekick!"
"I don't know, that guy up front seems pretty amazing." Another speaks up.
"Yeah, aren't the top 3 all family? Look at them, they've been dominating since the start!"
The crowd begins arguing over whose the better student.
"NOW, WE'VE ARRIVED AT THE FINAL BARRIER! The reality here is... IT'S FREAKING MINEFIELD! WHOOHOOO!"
Relon stops to hover over the ground as he looks at the bombed field.
"Do you take joy in watching others struggle?" Aizawa asks.
"NOPE, I TAKE JOY IN WATCHING STUDENTS IN PARTICULAR STRUGGLE, AHAHAHA! IT'S SET UP SO THAT YOU CAN TELL WHERE THE MINES ARE IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY! SO YOU HAVE TO EXPLOIT YOUR EYES AND LEGS!"
Relon's eye twitches.
"BY THE WAY, THESE LANDMINES ARE FOR GAMES, SO THEY AREN'T THAT POWERFUL, BUT THEY'RE LOUD AND FLASHY ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU WET YOUR PANTS!
"That depends on the person."
Lucinance is already there? I need to go faster! Come on, faster, faster!
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING PAST ME DEKU SO GIVE UP ALREADY!" Bakugou turns in the air shooting a blast at boy who's annoyed him for so long for Deku to jump out of the way taking the moment to pass Bakugou and speed up. "OH NO YOU DON'T! GET THE HELL BACK HERE!
"Instead of trying to blast me, try focusing on getting to first!" Deku shouts as a tick mark appears on the blonde's face.
"THE FUCK YOU SAY TO ME DEKKUUUU! THAT'S IT, I'LL KILL YOU!" Huge explosions shoot from his hands as he zooms at Midoriya like a bullet.
"Me and my big mouth!" He hurries as fast as he can away from the chasing teen.
"Relon is already at the last course? I shouldn't be too far then. Midoriya seems to be getting chased by Bakugou a little ways ahead so it shouldn't be long now."
They expect those that can't fly to struggle with this but that isn't the case for me.
"Void Blade: Sunder!"
Relon, having little time to react jumps off his card to watch it get sliced. He turns around seeing Nunu.
"Finally caught up! You didn't think you would get through this entire race that easily did you, Shinn!?" Nunu sends another attack his way which he avoids for the attack to make contact with a landmine causing an explosion to erupt from behind.
Aren't that powerful my ass!
He turns noticing a portal in front of him as he watches Nunu run for it only to jump to the side as pinks slashes connect with the portal as it them disappears.
Both look to see Kanao running at them to jump over the two into the minefield where she proceed to hop from spot to spot avoiding the bombs.
"Damn it! She must have Perceived the minefield!" Nunu gives chase with Relon.
"WHOA WHOA WHOA! IN A SUDDEN TURN OF EVENTS, THE ONLY FEMALE, KANAO, TAKES FIRST PLACE LEAVING HER BROTHER BEHIND! ERASER HEAD!"
"She took advantage of their distraction from one another."
"THAT'S SO COOL!"
"Don't think you're getting far, Insight!" She looks back to see Nunu send another crescent attack her way as she avoids it to then be hit in the side by the flat side of a large card sending her careening at a landmine.
She quickly recovers, spinning her body as she, with her legs wide, lands right under a landmine. She narrows her eyes at the two passing her before she retaliates, all three preventing one another from proceeding.
"I've finally made it." Todoroki says looking ahead, catching sight of the Lucinance family.
This course is meant to slow down anyone ahead but those three don't seem fazed in the least.
He proceeds with caution through the field but hears shouting and what sounds like firecrackers.
"STOP RUNNING SO I CAN KILL YOU, DEKU!" Bakugou shouts reaching a hand for the green haired teen.
"That's not at all convincing, you know!?" Midoriya dives to the ground as Bakugou soars past him to then take note of Todoroki and the remnants. "FUCK! I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! I'LL DEAL WITH YOU LATER, DEKU!" He takes off after Todoroki.
"Phew. I don't think I've ran that fast in my life before. Especially while carrying something this heavy. I'll have to thank the Lucinance for the training. It just saved my life." He looks ahead at the others scattered throughout the mine field. "Now, how am I going to get to first?" He glances at the metal piece. "I've got it!"
"This field doesn't affect me in the slightest!" The spiky blonde shouts passing the ice-user, both making eye contact for a split-second. "Don't declare war on the wrong person!" Bakugou says throwing a explosive-ready hand at Todoroki for the bi-color haired teen to dodge out of the way.
"You two sure are persistent!" Nunu says launching another attack at the two.
"You are being quite the hypocrite, wouldn't you say?" Kanao retorts for her and Relon to jump away as another explosion goes off.
When they land, they look to see Nunu making a run for it though he doesn't get far as a giant card suddenly blocks his way. He is soon forced to jump out of its way as it attempts to capture him. He turns, blade ready, as he slashes at the pink cuts sent from Kanao before landing. A tick mark apparent.
"REJOICE, MASS MEDIA! THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF YOU GUYS LOVE!
Momo finally reaches the minefield as she looks at her classmates.
Relon and the other two are almost at the end! Todoroki and Bakugou are halfway but where's Midoriya?She looks around until over along the right side of where the field starts, she sees him digging up bombs.
What is he- Wait, that's actually genius! It'll take too long to dig up enough bombs. What do I do?
She watches Bakugou and Todoroki fight and notices the spiked teen about to land on a dark spot but nothing happens.
Wait! Could there be...She begins creating something before pulling out a radar. She looks at it to grow a huge smile of relief.
I knew it! Some of the landmines aren't real! And they basically form a path too!She takes off on the invisible path. Back with the remnants, Kanao attempts to escape but jumps into a portal to reappear right back where she was with the two.
"You ain't going nowhere!" He says to cut through a card sent from Relon who retaliates with a crescent slash as Relon jumps away, careful where to land as he protects his eyes from the gusts of wind from the explosions.
"We've been so preoccupied with one another we have almost taken out all of the landmines around us." Kanao mentions looking around.
"Yeah, don't expect to run. I got a portal with both your names on it."
All three are at the edges of a crater due to the numerous explosions set off. The family looking between one another for the slightest movements.
BOOM!
All three look back to see Bakugou and Todoroki going at it as the are steadily moving ahead. Relon takes note of Momo running with some device in her hand.
"Damn it, those guys are getting close." Nunu turns to where the tunnel is. "See ya!" He opens a rift jumping inside but is wrapped in a card as he is sent to the bottom of a crater.
He looks back to see Relon take off with Kanao behind him.
Shit! I ain't going out like this! Believe it!
With muscle alone, he breaks apart the card jumping out of the crater as he and Kanao launch their slash attacks at Relon. He turns as an explosion erupts that can be heard throughout the entire course as well as from
the stadium.
"OH MY CRAP! BOTH NUNU AND KANAO LAUNCH THEIR ATTACKS AT THEIR OWN BROTHER CAUSING A MASSIVE EXPLOSION! IS HE ALRIGHT!?" Everyone on the course looks on as does the audience, Momo double-timing.
Relon's fine. I know he is. Yet why am I hurrying to his side? This is a race. We're competing against each other!
The smoke begins to settle as everyone looks on, the remnants readying their weapons. Once clear, everyone sees a giant dome made out of cards that release their shape. The crowd erupting as Relon is seen behind it.
"LUCINANCE COMES OUT UNSCATHED! NOT A SCRATCH IN HIM!"
"We all knew he was fine so why is everyone acting surprised?" Nunu wonders.
"For the suspense?" Kanao questions.
Relon looks back at the tunnel leading to the stadium before ahead as the cards around him begins rotating at high speeds.
"That doesn't scare me!" Nunu shouts as he and Kanao rush for Relon, Todoroki and Bakugou ignoring the other to gain first place.
Relon launches his cards as they speed to his opponents. Kanao and Nunu cutting the ones aimed at them as Todoroki and Bakugou are forced to narrowly avoid theirs. Relon manipulates the cards as they circle around the the four as he careful steps back towards the entrance.
"Damn it! He's getting away!" Nunu shouts slicing at the cards, more forming increasing his struggle.
"YOU THINK THESE PIECES OF PAPER WILL STOP ME!? GUESS AGAIN!" Bakugou roars exploding all the paper around him before soaring ahead passing the two remnants as he readies a explosion for Relon.
Bakugou, you idiot, it's a trap!" Todoroki shouts.
With a flick of a finger, cards around Nunu and Kanao disperse to wrap around the spiky blonde as he drops to the bottom of the crater. His explosions unable to break free.
"Well that takes care of BakuHoe for a little." Nunu glances to Kanao and then Todoroki and now Momo who has finally caught up. "What took you, Yaoyorozu? You missed all the fun!"
"You seem to forget, I don't have the mobility nor speed you all possess."
"Well, you made it here which shows the training helped." Nunu responds. "Now, how about we all gang up on Shinn here and then one of us double cross the rest and get first place? Sound good? Great, break!" Immediately he and Kanao go for Lucinance.
BOOOOOOM!
They immediately stop as everyone, once again, turns to the sound of another massive explosion. They catch sight of a huge pink cloud at the beginning of the minefield.
"Super Explosive Speed Turbo!" Everyone looks to see a metal plate from the robot villains go soaring from the cloud, a green and black haired teen holding on for dear life with a determined expression as he grits his teeth.
"CLASS A'S MIDORIYA IS IN HOT PURSUIT WITH THAT BLAST!" The crowd screaming and shouting at the constant turn of events.
He zooms through the sky, everyone looking in awe including Bakugou whose anger grows as he begins increases his blasts incinerating the paper.
"ACTUALLY, HE HAS TAKEN FIRST!"
Relon is the first to action as in a single motion, he jumps sliding a card, increasing its size, under him as he turns and zooms after his classmate.
"Shit!" Nunu curses as he and the rest chase after, Bakugou blasting out of the crater towards them.
"DON'T THINK YOU'RE OUTDOING ME AGAIN, DEKU!"
Midoriya lands into roll before surging 5% as he takes off, Relon thrusts his arms behind him as he increases his speed.
"Damn it!" Nunu creates a portal but jumps away from it as a pink slash impacts where he once stood. "Insight, can you not!" He shouts to watch thr girl jump past him after the duo. "Son of a!" He opens another rift finally successfully going through before disappearing.
Momo and Todoroki continue through as the rest of the participants finally arrive. Both protagonists reach the tunnel, both giving everything they can to come out ahead of the other.
Almost there!
All Might, watch me!
I'm claiming the first spot! Both think.
"WHO IS IT GOING BE!? MIDOROIYA OR LUCINANCE!? THEY'RE NECK AND NECK!" The entire stadium is chanting both of their names.
Midoriya slowly begins to gain ahead, Relon taking quick notice of as he throws his arms back once more shooting himself for the finish line. Midoriya's eyes widen as he too then launches himself, both boys with their hands extended.
Reach!
Reach!
"AND THE WINNER IS...!" Both shoot through the finish line rolling against the ground.
They immediately look to the jumbotron.
"AND THE WINNER IS...? WAIT WHO WON!?"
Everyone looks as the instant replay plays showing both boys having reached the line at the same time.
"IT'S A TIE? IT'S A TIE! WAIT! Has that ever happened before?" He mumbles to Aizawa.
"No."
"OH MY GOD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, WE HAVE A TIE FOR THE OBSTACLE RACE! GIVE IT UP FOR MIDORIYA AND LUCINANCE!" Present Mic shouts, the crowd erupting into applause.
"Damn you brat... Fuck you, Shinn..." Tomura says scratching his neck as he looks at the computer.
Just then, Nunu appears from his rift followed by Kanao, a seering Bakugou, then Momo and Todoroki, and finally the rest of Class A and the other participants. Relon stands to his feet as he walks over offering a hand to the still panting Midoriya who graciously accepts.
"Looks like... we both won, huh?" Relon nods as they both look to the clapping viewers.
Midoriya looks to the teacher's box, a grin on his face with a fist balled. He wipes away tears as he see All Might standing up clapping.
All Might, I did it!
Young Midoriya, well done!
Relon looks to the others as they gather around.
"Congratulations, Shinn." Kanao says.
"I've would have won if some people hadn't stopped me from entering my void." Nunu scoffs.
"Did you honestly believe it would be that easy?" Momo wonders.
"No! Insight over here as some speed demon and Shinn flying all carefree, I knew things were going to pick up eventually. All three of us had the same idea of dealing with one another near the end to get ahead of everyone, right?" The other two remnants nod. "I expected Midoriya but I'll be honest, I did not expect you to be that far up with us, Yaoyorozu."
"What can I say? The training really helped." Momo says to wink at Relon.
"Well then, that makes winning this all the more worth."
Off alone is Bakugou panting.
"Damn it...! Again!"
"AND NOW THEY'RE FINISHING ONE AFTER ANOTHER! WE'LL MAKE A LIST FOR LATER BUT FOR NOW, GOOD WORK!"
"Hey, you're Lucinance, right?" The four turn to the voice to see a student with blonde slicked back hair and purple eyes approach.
"Monoma? What do you want?" Nunu asks.
"Nothing really. I just came to congratulate your step-brother on his victory, albeit a tie." He extends his hand as Relon looks at it tilting his head to look back at Monoma.
I have seen enough quirks and powers to know someone wants to make physical contact for a reason and not just to congratulate me.
He hands the newcomer a card which he takes reading it, his eyes slightly widening to return to normal instantly as he then chuckles.
"Seems intelligence runs in the family." He turns to walk away. "Oh, a question by the way." This catches Relon's attention. "You and her are together, correct? I could have sworn U.A. is a school for producing heroes, not producing love couples. I heard you both just met and already, you're an item. Seems pretty rushed, wouldn't you agree? You two should really get your priorities in order."
"What was that!?" Momo shouts about to approach the blonde but a shoulder stops her, students taking notice.
She looks to see Kanao who's shaking her head as the look ahead to Relon walking to the blonde.
"What? Did I say something to offend you and your precious girlfriend?" Relon and Monoma stare at each other, neither expressions changing with Relon holding a neutral one and Monoma smirking.
After a moment, Relon points to the card still in the blonde's hand as he twists a finger before walking away. Monoma reads it, his face becoming a sneer as he glares at the back of our protagonist before he too walks off.
"What did you say to him? I haven't seen him like that before." Nunu says for Relon to shake his head looking back at Monoma who's with other classmates, his group looking to Relon's.
Both sides checking the other out before Monoma's turns back around.
"Are you guys alright?" The four turn to see Deku, Uraraka, and Iida approaching.
"Yeah, nothing much. People hating for some stupid ass reason. The usual."
"Such language! Usage of such vulgar words is a bad representation of a student of U.A. But, aside from that, what was that commotion about a moment ago? You sounded quite bothered by it, Yaoyorozu."
"Yeah, what happened?" Uraraka adds.
"That student, Monoma, happened." She crosses her arms, clearly agitated.
"To bring up your relationship. Could it have been a form of agitation?" Kanao wonders.
"Why bring that up?" Midoriya questions.
"Who knows. Not many are in relationships at U.A. but from what I have heard, Yaoyorozu is ranked quite high as the most wanted from what I heard." Uraraka mentions.
"Wait! I am? No, wait. There's a ranking? Why was I not aware of this?"
"I thought everyone knew."
"Yeah, even I knew." Nunu comments.
"Maybe he has a thing for Yaoyorozu and could be taking his frustration on Lucinance."
"No, what he said a minute ago doesn't add up if that's the case. He doesn't seem, from what I have seen, the type to want a relationship." Nunu states.
"Could he be attempting to have them lose focus?" Iida wonders.
"Maybe. Whatever his intentions are, they won't work." Momo answers. "Right, Relon?" She turns to him, the teen unresponsive. "Relon?" He raises his head from thought to nod at her.
"You thinking about Monoma, aren't you Shinn?" Nunu looks to his step-brother who nods. "No point letting it bother you. You know that, right?" He nods again looking away. "Is there something else wrong?"
"Ahem." Everyone turns to Kanao. "Relon would prefer for Yaoyorozu to zip up her jacket now that the race has ended." A look of realization hits everyone, immediately the guys look away as a tint of pink appears on Momo's face while Uraraka chuckles nervously.
Massive growth.
"There." Everyone turns back to Momo now properly dressed. "Shall we regroup with the others?" Everyone agrees and proceeds, Relon lost in thought.
U.A., a place for those aspiring to be heroes... Momo and I, together... I don't regret getting with her but... did we rush it?
He gives a perturbed look as they regroup with Class 1-A, all having passed.
"ALRIGHT PEOPLE. LET'S GET STARTED ONCE AGAIN!" Present Mic announces gaining all of the student's attention as they refocus to Midnight on stage, Relon temporally forgetting about the blonde's words.
"To the 50 that passed, congratulations. To those that didn't, don't feel discouraged. We've prepared other chances for you to shine." The female hero says licking her lips. "The real competition begins next!" The jumbotron begins spinning its numerous options before stopping abruptly. "And here it is!"
So, that's next.
"A cavalry battle? Darn it, I suck at those..." Kaminari curses.
"Calvary Battle!?" Mineta shouts taking a strong interest for reasons anyone could guess.
"It's not an individual event, so I wonder how it'll work..." Tsuyu says.
"Allow me, to explain. Team can range from two to four and can be formed from any participants you wish. It's basically the same as any other cavalry battle but there is one difference... Based on the results from the last game, each person has been assigned a point value."
"A point-based system? Like at the entrance exam? That's easy to follow." Sato mutters.
"So each team is worth different points based on their team composition." Nunu says.
"Correct!" She slaps her whip against the ground. "50th place has five points, 49th has ten points and the value assigned to first place is... ten million!" Relon's eye begins to twitch profusely as Midoriya begins to sweat, all of their classmates looking to them as if the two are prey and they are the hunters, ready to pounce once the game starts.
Like Nunu would say; Fuck, I am screwed.
"Fuck. Y'all are screwed." Nunu comments under his breathe..
"Yes! it's survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top! Those at the top will suffer more. You'll heat this many times as you attend U.A. This is what 'Plus Ultra' means! Relon Lucinance and Izuku Midoriya, who both placed first in the qualifier, are woth ten million points!" Everyone continue to gazes at the two, a great pressure falling over them.
Momo, Uraraka, Iida, Bakugou, Todoroki, Tokoyami, Kirishima, Sero, Ojiro, Tsuyu, Sato, Shoji, Mineta, Jirou, Mina, Kouda, Kaminari, Hagakure, and Aoyama amd the other participants. Each one hungry for their bountiful points.
Relon's twitching now stops as he gives a smirk looking at Midnight.
These looks are different from what they once were. Everyone here wants the top spot. Everyone here thinks they can get it. Well then, bring it!
The eyes around me are different from Junior High. The top spot I got for an instant because of luck- No. Because of my hard work paying off! Even so... Even so, is it really this heavy, All Might!?
"I'll now explain the rules of the cavalry battle. The time limit is 15 minutes. Each team as stated before is worth the total amount of its members' points. The riders will wear a headband with that number on their foreheads. Teams will try to grab each other's headbands until the time runs out, while trying to keep as many points as they can. Stolen headbands must be worn around the neck up. So the more you still the harder it will be to manage them. And the most important thing is that even if your headband gets stolen, or if your team Falls you're not out!"
"If that's the case..." Momo begins.
"There will be at least ten teams at once. It's like a battle royale." Nunu finishes.
"That's tough." Aoyama adds from nowhere.
during the game it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your quirks. But it's still a cavalry battle. you'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose! You'll be removed immediately!"
"Tch, damn it." Bakugou and Nunu mutters.
"Now, you have fifteen minutes to build your teams. Start!" At that, students disperse.
Knowing how everyone is trying to win, I doubt some if any will want to be on my team. I only need one person so...
He turns to be met with Kanao.
"Need I state my reasoning?" Kanao asks smiling for him to shake his head.
He looks around at the competition. Nunu with some from his class and Momo with Todoroki and some others. He focuses on his girlfriend as he remembers what they talked about on their way to school.
Both walk in silence, preparing their minds for the day ahead of them. Momo stops as Relon follows, the teen looking back at her wondering why the halt in motion.
"Relon." He fully turns to her, her tone serious. "I'm grateful for these last two to three weeks that I've known you. For everything... but." She looks up to him. "Don't hold back on me during this festival just because we're together. I'm here to achieve victory also!" He looks to her, determination etched onto her very being.
He turns around swirling his finger as he begins to walk off for Momo to pull out her card given to her.
'Same to you.'
She looks up to him as a smile crosses her face before she runs catching up.
He looks back to Kanao.
"I know. Losing is unacceptable to my mission. So who shall be our other members or shall it be just us?" He gives a shrug. "I see."
"Uh..." Both turn to the sudden voice.
"Heyo! Mind if we join you guys?"
"I see no problem. Do you, Shinn?"
He looks at the two newcomers, a smirk forming as he gives a nod. He looks to Midoriya, now with a group of four. As well as Momo before back to his team.
Kanao and I alone could probably win but with these two, the four of us have a better chance now. We can do this!"So what's the plan, Lucinance?"
He looks between the three as he steps forward motioning for them to get closer. He looks to Kanao who nods.
"Very well. Here is how we shall proceed."
"Now then it's about time to get started!" Midnight announces.
"Time to wake up, Eraser Head!" Mic taps his colleague's shoulder.
"Damn it." The homeroom teacher mutters.
After 15 minutes to form teams and talk strategy, 15 cavalry teams are lined up on the field!"
"There are some interesting teams out there."
"NOW, RAISE THOSE BATTLE CRIES! IT'S TIME FOR U.A.'S BLOODY BATTLE! LIGHT THE SIGNAL FIRE! NOW, LET'S GOOOOO! COUNTING DOWN THE BRUTAL ROYAL, HAHA! THREE...!"
"We're aiming for..." Bakugou begins cracking his knuckles from atop his cavalry.
"TWO...!"
"... two things." Todoroki finishes.
"ONE...!"
Midoriya is directly on the opposite end of us so that means... Relon tightens his numbered headband.
"Start!" Midnight shouts slapping her whip against the floor.
Those on both of our sides will be targeting us!
"It's basically a battle for both if the ten million points!" The silver messy haired teen shouts rushing at the group.
"Lucinance, we're coming for that headband!" Hagakure calls.
"Shinn!" Relon looks to see Nunu on top of three others charging.
"Guys, we got incoming!"
"Get ready!"
"Shinn!"
Relon sucks in air before exhaling, a focused expression overtaking him as with a strong swipe of his arms, he sends card after card at the oncoming groups. Right before the card makes contact, Relon flips his index and middle fingers upwards as the cards rise directly at his opponents' heads. Nunu cuts the card down with his blade as the others attempt to be rid or theirs but fail as both cards slide right between their heads and the headbands taking them off as the cards fly back to Shinn as he then puts his new points around his neck.
"Is that even allowed!?" The invisible girl shouts.
"Yes, it is!" Retorts Midnight.
"Argh! Let's get those points back!" The silver haired teen shouts as he and other groups go for Relon's team.
We got more coming! Mina, you're up!"
"Hehe, leave it to me!" With her free right side, the pinkette launches globs of acid at varying spots.
This causing their opponents to stop in their tracks and move around.
"Don't think that'll stop us!" Relon and his group look forward to see Nunu's jump out of a portal, avoiding the acid blockade as they run straight at the protagonist's group. "Shinn!" He brings down his blade for Shinn to block it with a card. "I'll be taking that ten mil!"
"That is something we cannot let you do, Crono."
"Time to prove you wrong! Kendo!"
"I'm on it!" A orange haired girl with a long side ponytail ending at her shoulders shouts, her free hand enlarging as a fist comes at the group.
From the side!?
Relon puts another card up stopping the attack.
"Shiozaki!"
"Leave it to me!" A girl with vines for hair calls out as said hair shoots out for Relon.
The other side too!?
"NUNU'S TEAM HAS LUCINANCE'S PINNED WITH NOWHERE TO ESCAPE!"
"What's wrong, Shinn?" He looks at the middle card in front of Nunu. "Didn't think class B was so strong, did you!?" He begins slashing at the card as Relon puts more energy behind it and the other two.
The girl in front of him turns her head, their eyes meeting. Her eyes looking at his nervously for him to shake his head.
No. Not yet...
Fight me like you mean it, Shinn!
"Lucinance..." Mina says nervously.
"Hit 'em at once!" Nunu shouts, Relon immediately placing his hands on the girl's shoulders in front of him.
"Jirou, now!" Kanao shouts.
"Right!" She shoots her Earphone Jacks past the cards at Nunu.
"Tch!" Nunu brings his blade to block them.
He fell for it!
The jacks drop to their lead member's ears as Jirou lets loose violent vibrations.
"ARREGGGHHH AHHHH!" Tye beast student shouts dropping to his knees feeling dazed for his hold on Nunu to begin slowly breaking apart as Relon's group steps back.
"Shishida!" Nunu calls out.
"Shinn!" Kanao calls for him to nod throwing a card beneath their feets as they hover up and away from Nunu's group.
"Damn it!" Nunu shouts as he and his teammates tend to the beast student.
"Lucinance's plan actually worked! That's totally amazing! Then again, he is the 'leader' for a reason, huh?" Mina cheers.
"Honestly, after seeing him at the USJ, I'm not all that surprised. But how did you know Nunu would come after us? Let alone try a three-way attack?" Jirou asks.
"Nunu wants Shinn to recognize how serious he is. To make Shinn see this, he is challenging him directly. Shinn took note of the members Nunu had formed and found their weakness."
"That being the student with the glasses and fur, right?" Mina wonders.
"Correct. From his features alone, his quirk seemed to have given him strengths to that of a beast such as an increase in speed and power. Shinn took note of this and one of the qualities that an animal has... is their hearing."
"I get it. You knew how Nunu's style is and saw him placing the student as their lead as well as them coming for us. That's why you have me at the front and not Kanao." Jirou surmises for him to nod.
"The plan was successful, but we can't stay up here forever." Kanao mentions to gain another nod from Relon.
Originally, having just Kanao carry me would have been easier. She's strong and agile enough to move around all the groups but with Mina and Jirou, we have more options now.
"Over there. I see an open space!" Mina calls out as they proceed to land to the west side of the ring.
Relon looks over to see Midoriya's group flying away from some of the others.
"Surprisingly, it seems we're safe for the moment even though we have ten million points."
"I'm looking around and I don't see anyone going after us, either. Everyone is too busy trying to get other points.
"I would assume the other teams would put their focus on our group considering we have first and second places' points." Kanao comments.
That is odd...
Relon looks around.
Wait, I only count 14 teams including us. Who's missing?
"Shinn, duck!"
Relon tucks his body, the top of his head touching the back of Jirou as something goes flying over the four to return back behind them.
From behind!?
"Was that a tongue!?" Mina shouts.
"I only know one person with a tongue that long
The four turn to see Shoji, his arms creating a cover for his back.
"Hehehe... I expected as much." Mineta reveals himself along with Tsuyu out from the shadows atop Shoji.
"Is that even allowed!?" Jirou shouts.
"Yes!" Midnight answers.
"We'll be taking thise points, Lucinance. Nothing personal." Shoji states beginning a run as the two hide back inside, purple balls launching at Relon's group.
"We got balls incoming!" Mina shouts for Relon to put up a defensive card.
"Did you have to phrase it like that!?"
"My bad! Heat of the moment, haha." Mina laugh as she sends more blobs of acid ahead of them, Shoji jumping fron side-to-side avoiding each.
Tsuyu launches her tongue over the card as it goes for Relon's points. He reels back grabbing it between his hands.
This... so gross!
He watches as the tongue wrangles about trying to break free.
"Shi- Jirou, step back, quickly!" Kanao announces for the music-lover to nod narrowly avoiding a purple ball aimed at her feet.
"Damn it, so close!" Mineta curses.
"Thanks Kanao!" Jirou then moves her earphone to Tsuyu's tongue as her jacks vibrate causing the tongue to shoot back at Tsuyu.
"You good, Lucinance?" Jirou asks chuckling as she and the other watch a disgusted Relon shakes his hands, his body shivering from the slimy touch. "I'm guessing you kinda are?" He slowly nods getting over the nasty sensation.
"Ribbit. That didn't... feel good. Ribbit."
If we keep at it, we won't get anywhere. Having Kanao Perceive each of us was a big help otherwise we would have been stuck just now. I can't see Mineta from atop Shoji and dealing with Tsuyu's tongue is out of the question. We need to break away from them.
Relon looks to see teams all over the field except for one spot.
There!He taps on Kanao who looks to to him and then over to his point of interest.
"Let's retreat. We're at a standstill with those three."
"Where to though?" Jirou asks for Relon to point.
"But that's the center of the field!" Mina exclaims.
"Yes. With luck, other teams will intercept one another including Mineta's as they try to fight for our points." Kanao explains. "If we stay here, it's only a matter of time before other teams pin us down."
"But if we go to the middle, won't the chances of that happen only faster?" Jirou questions.
"Yes, but if we go there, there's a chance."
"A chance? For what?"
Relon looks at the center of the arena.
There's a chance he'll be there. And then, things might change.
"There's a chance that an opening for us may appear. Am I correct, Shinn?" She followed by the others look at the only male of the group who gives a confident nod.
"Welp, it's better than doing nothing, I guess." Mina says. "Well, let's go!" She chucks more blobs causing Shoji to jump away once more to look up seeing the four run away.
"Ah! After them!"
"Lucinance, give us back our points! And hand over yours also!" Hagakure shouts coming from their right.
"Hey, hey! Stop running and give up your points!" The silver haired and sharp teeth teen shouts beside the invisible girl.
"Shinn!" Relon's group looks behind those two to see Nunu's group coming after them. "That was a good move but that won't work again! Now stay still!"
"The other ten million points! Get it!" Relon looks to his other side as he sees other teams coming for him.
The West, East, and South. We got almost everyone's attention.
Up ahead, Midoriya's group lands in the center as Todoroki and Bakugou's teams chase after.
"COME BACK HERE DEKU!"
"Midoriya, I'll be taking those points!"
"Midoriya, behind us!" Tokoyami calls for their group to turn coming face to face with one another.
Dealing with Kacchan and Todoroki was difficult enough, but now we're dead center and everyone is coming after us! What do we do? Lucinance, what are you trying to do?
Deku looks on, tension visible before Relon sends a card for Midoriya to catch as he reads it.
'Truce?'
He rereads it, making sure his eyes aren't deceiving him, before a relieved smile appears as he looks to his friend nodding.
"Yeah! Let's team up!" Relon nods as both teams get back to back.
"WHAT'S THIS!? BOTH MIDORIYA AND LUCINANCE, WHO HOLD TEN MILLION POINTS ARE TEAMING UP! YET, THEY'RE SURROUNDED ON ALL SIDES! WHAT IS THEIR PLAN OF ACTION!?"
Relon reels his hands back before shooting them up, two cards flying high into the air.
"LUCINANCE SENDS TWO CARDS INTO THE SKY! WHAT CAN HE BE UP TO!?"
"Everyone, watch out!" Momo shouts.
"Tch, he's doing that again!" Nunu curses.
So he's using that... Aizawa thinks.
"Everyone, get ready!" Midoriya advises as he looks at the oncoming teams
The cards stop high above the arena, two becoming four and four becoming as many as a hundred for everyone look on at the odd spectacle.
"Lucinance, are you doing what I think you're doing?" Mina asks for him answer her by abruptly dropping his hands, the cards showering the field as everyone braces themselves, some using their quirks to protect themselves and others running.
In a moment, it all ceases as everyone looks to see the arena now masked in a maze of cards. A circular wall around Midoriya and Relon's group in the center with two exits, both being in the direction both teams are facing.
"Does that answer your question, Mina?" Jirou asks.
"Yeah. Honestly, after seeing this move twice now, I'm glad to have not be on the receiving end yet."
"Same. Glad Lucinance us on our side." Jirou turns her head to smile in relief at the teen who does the same to her.
"So what now, you guys?"
"Now we wait and prepare for anyone that comes through either entrance. Relon has to remain focused to maintain the maze as none of those are real." Kanao answers.
"So he can't move?" Uraraka asks for Kanao to shake her head.
"Well while we wait, my babies get a chance to rest so this works excellent for me." The pink hair with goggles says checking over their large mechanical boots.
"Dark Shadow, we will continue to prioritize defense."
"Roger that!"
"DAMN IT, DEKU! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!? COME OUT AND TAKE THIS BEATING LIKE A MAN!" A Bakugou roars from beyond the wall of cards sending a shiver down the freckled teen's back.
"He really wants you, huh Deku?"
"Y-yeah, haha..."
"SHINN! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU! YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE FOREVER!"
"Crono seems upset." Kanao blandly states as Relon nervously nods.
Both boys look to one another.
Why do we attract guys like them? Both protagonists let out a sigh before looking back ahead, ready for anyone to come through.
Part 1 of the Sports Festival is done! Hope you all enjoyed. I'll be gone this week for the holidays so there won't be a chapter this Sunday but later in the week if not the next Sunday there most definite will be. Comment your thoughts and I'll see you guys and gals in part 2!
Word Count Goal: 10k - Achieved!
