Chapter 6: Let the games begin!
(Yuuto's POV)
"WELCOME IN THE HERO COURSE STUDENTS OF CLASS 1-A!" Our english teacher, the pro hero Present Mic was serving as the announcer for the games and our class was the first to be introduced.
We made our entrance through a tunnel on the bottom of the arena. We walked across the arena floor as Present Mic began to introduce other classes. While some of my classmates waved and enjoyed the spotlight I tried to hide in the crowd, but that didn't help keep the disapproving eyes of the crowd off my back. I even heard a few of the audience members boo…
"Haahh…" I sighed and lowered my head as we approached a stage at the center of the arena.
"Now for the introductory speech!" A scantily clad woman with long black hair and waiving a whip, called attention to the stage.
This was the art teacher, as well as pro hero midnight. The way she dressed garnered the attention of the male crowd as well as some of the students.
"They need to talk to Miss Midnight about her outfit." Kirishima said with a bashful smile on his face.
I might've been blushing too but I had other problems on my hands…
"Hey!" A student from another class whispered aggressively at me, in an attempt to get my attention. I looked over to find him huddled with two other students. "You're the supervillain's kid right? You're dead meat." The boy threatened as his buddies slid their fingers over their throats.
"Whatever…" I rolled my eyes, the taunting wasn't really hurtful at this point as it was expected and kinda irritating. I didn't recognize them so I don't think they were from class B, so I probably don't need to worry about them being much of an obstacle in the future.
"Silence! For the student pledge we have Katsuki Bakugo!" Midnight called out, as Bakugo stumbled his way up the stairs to the top of the podium.
"I just wanna say… I'm gonna win…" Bakugo bluntly declared victory before the games had even began, and an uproar of disapproval rang from the students. I stood closer to the back so I couldn't really see what was going on but I think Bakugo deserves credit. I don't think I'd have worded it exactly the same way he did, but I share his sentiments. I don't plan on losing to any of these guys either!
Bakugo climbed down and joined the crowd, leaving Midnight to continue with the introduction. The score bored above the arena lit up with the words "First Game!"
"Without any further adieu it's time to begin! This is where you begin to feel the pain!" Midnight declared with the wave of her hand as a large holographic screen appeared behinder and a spinning wheel began to turn.
Finally the wheel stop spinning and we learned the title of our first game "Obstacle Race".
"Tada!" Midnight waved. "All eleven classes will participate in this treacherous contest, the track is four kilometers on the outside of the stadium. I don't wanna restrain anyone, at least in this game." Miss Midnight licked her lips. "As long as you don't leave the course, your free to do whatever you wish! Now take your places!"
As my classmates lined up, all I could think was that this was perfect as Midnight called out "Begin!"
Everyone took off for the doorway, which was quickly overcrowded. I'm sure it was a test of sorts, but I didn't plan to play by those rules. While other students trampling each other, I teleported on top of one of the larger students heads, and using my agility I leapt from head to head until finding daylight.
Once I exited the doorway, I wasn't quite paying attention to where I was landing and slipped on a floor of ice. "AAAHHH!" I looked out in front to see Todoroki-kun had taken a massive lead, not for long. I looked up to see Aoyama-kun and Yaoyorozu-san propelling themselves through the air, following closely behind them was Bakugo. "Perfect…"
"I won't let you get a head, you ICY HOT BASTARD!" Bakugo was focused on Todoroki-kun, leaving himself open. "Huh?"
I teleported above the flying blonde boy, and slammed my feat down into his back, knocking him down onto the icy floor.
"WHAT THE!?" Bakugo didn't know what had hit him, he simply watched as I landed in front of him and started running, but I made sure to shoot him a smile from over my shoulder which may have been a mistake. "Grrrrrrr… I'LL KILL YOU! YOU GODDAMN SCIENCE PROJECT!"
He let rip a massive explosion, propelling himself at me much faster than I anticipated, but still not fast enough. Before he could make impact, I teleported a few more feet in front of where I was, causing him to fall face first on the ground once more. Rather than sticking around to taunt him a bit more, I decided it was time to take the lead.
I began to teleport further ahead, stopping by Todoroki-kun to show that I could keep pace with him. I could tell by the look in his eye that he didn't expect to be caught this early on, but he said it himself. We aren't here to be friends.
In an attempt to take out the major competition I tried to sweep for his legs to knock him down, but unsurprisingly he managed to dodge. Normally a sweep like that would be risky, but not for me. I was on the ground, but rather than losing pace I teleported a few feet further ahead of Todoroki-kun and took off down the track.
I turned the first corner and planned to go for an all out sprint, but I was suddenly stopped in my tracks. "Woah!" I looked up to find a wall of giant green robots blocking my path. "Crap…" I can't see past the massive machines, which means I'll have to deal with them before moving forward.
While I sat back to think for a second, Todoroki came skating bye with a trail of ice. He hesitated for a second too, before creating a massive wave of ice that immobilized at least three robots instantly.
"Woah… You go all of them…" I marveled at Todoroki-kun's handy work.
"Well… Not exactly all of them." He replied, a bit of frost coming of his breath. Just as he said this one of the massive robots began to move towards me. "Looks like its locked on, but its not after me."
Crap… The massive robot rose its metallic arm into the air as it planned to squash me, before it could make impact I teleported above the giant robotic hand and landing on top of it. I then began to run up the robots arm. Todoroki-kun reminded me of something, his flashy ice wall wasn't just effective, it was impressive. This is a chance for us to get scouted, my quirk doesn't exactly stand out even if it does have its practical uses. I have to sell myself on my other abilities.
I jumped up from the end of the robots forearm to its shoulder without teleporting, then from the shoulder to an area behind its head where I found some stray wires and electronic components and ripped them out as well as a long metal rod, about five feet in length.
I leapt from the robot as it began to self detonate behind me in a large explosion. I teleported in midair to the ground, and did a front roll to reduce the inertia from the fall and to keep me hurting myself. I picked myself back up as well as the metal rod and continued to sprint forward. I passed the wall of giant robots, but there were still waves of smaller drones in front of me. It ate away at a bit of the time, but using the metal rod I decided to take down a few of the lower level bots on my way to the next obstacle.

The holographic screen showed footage of Yuuto taking down the giant robot. The audience watched in shock of what they were watching.
"That kid…. Is actually pretty good…" One spectator stated.
"Hey I know him, he's that kid from the news." Another voice, this time a woman replied.
"Seriously, the supervillain's son? That kid?" A man called back.
"No way, I thought he was supposed to be quirkless. He's kicking ass!" A more enthusiastic spectator called back.
"This is UA's newest student Yuuto Genji!" Present Mic began to commentate. "He's received a lot of attention from the medium recently, he's also from class 1-A, so what's the scoop Eraser?"
"Well let's get preconceptions out of the way first. For any who may believe that he still holds allegiance to his crime lord father, should really think again. He's made it clear that he and his family don't see eye to eye, he won't even respond to his last name." Mr Aizawa explained. "As for his quirk, yes it may have been given to him artificially but he knows who to use as effectively as most of our students but it's not just his quirk that was given to him, he told me that his very body was modified to be a weapon I wouldn't call it superhuman but his strength speed and reflexes are certainly assets. It wasn't too long ago that he managed to hold off a powerful villain on his own and doing so he managed to save an elementary school."
"Alright, alright. We don't need the backstory." Present Mic blurted out. "Tell us about the quirk."
"Fine…" Aizawa replied in a depressed tone. "His quirk is called vanishing. He can instantly transport himself and anyone he's touching anywhere in his scope of vision. Doing so too many times or for too great a distance drains his stamina, but if he really wanted to he could probably finish this course in a matter of seconds, that means he's showing off."
(Yuuto's POV)
I got past the final wave of robots, but had lost my first place spot. I wanted to warp to the front of the line but I need to show off a bit more of my athleticism. Aside from those with speed quirks, I should be faster than most of these guys. It was another straightforward running segment and I began to pass my classmates and the other students, but then I saw a cluster of students huddled up in front of the next obstacle.
I pushed my way past the crowd to find a deep rocky ravine filled with stone pillars protruding up from the bottom and tight ropes suspended over the canyon. I'm sure they meant for us to use the tight ropes to cross, but I have a better idea.
Using my quirk, I teleported from pillar to pillar, I would jump as I landed to show off a bit more athleticism and make it look a bit more heroic. I leapt from pillar to pillar, vanishing as I did so. Unlike the robot trial, I traversed this one quickly and easily but didn't take time to show off like earlier.
I needed to recover some ground so I blew through the canyon challenge as fast as I could and I was soon on the final stretch of the race. There was another brief running segment before the last obstacle. "Well...haahh…. Crap!" I managed to get out between pants as I stared out at a mine field. I squinted my eyes and I could see Todoroki-kun carefully traversing the dangerous ground, at this point he had gotten too far for me to catch him by foot.
"Crap!... I can't see the end…" I can't risk just warping randomly onto that mine field, that could be disastrous. I had to think of a different strategy, but unfortunately I wouldn't get that chance.
"HEEYYY!" I heard Bakugo call out from behind me, so I turned around just in time to see him blasting towards me. "I TOLD YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!"
He was coming in fast, but not fast enough. I leapt out of the way as Bakugo landed with a fiery blast ready in his hand. His attack missed, but he wasn't done. "DIE!" He began throwing blasts at me, but I managed to keep out of range by jumping back.
"Hey!" I called back to Bakugo, but he kept up his attack. Keeping on the defensive, I had to prioritize dodging and being evasive because of how fierce and unrelenting his onslaught was. I had to keep my eyes locked on to so I couldn't warp away. "Listen!" I called back again but I was ignored.
"DIE! DIE! DIE!" Bakugo called out again as he continued to make massive fiery blasts from his hands, one blast at a time.
Fine, I guess we'll do this the hard way. I hopped back one more time, as I analyzed my opponent. Bakugo just fired a blast with his left hand, which means the next attack is coming from….
I warped right up to Bakugo, getting close up in his face startling him. Then using my palm, I struck Bakugo on the wrist knocking his hand away and sending his explosive blast away to his right, then in the same motion I slammed my other fist into his stomach, knocking him to the ground.
"AAHHH!" Bakugo grunted as he fell to the ground. "What the hell was that…."
"Listen psycho." I said standing over him. "I'm sure later in this tournament you'll have a chance to blow my face off, but right now it's a race and we're losing." I pointed to Todoroki-kun who was out way ahead of the rest of us. "But I have an idea on how one of us can win this race and beat each other up later."
"Hmmm…. What do you have in mind?" Bakugo asked as he picked himself up out of the dirt.
I leaned in and whispered my plan into his ear, this got the blonde boy to smile a creepy and toothy grin.
(3rd person POV)
The scarred Todoroki carefully paced himself as he traversed the perilous mine field.
"Hey Todoroki-kun!" The ice user turned his head around to Yuuto had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the air above him with Bakugo sitting atop his shoulders.
"GO TO HEELLLLLL!" Bakugo screamed, putting his hands out in the air behind him and like engines on a jet he used his blasts to rocket them towards the half and half boy.
"Huh?" Todoroki, didn't have time to process what he was seeing before Yuuto planted his feet onto Todoroki's back, the moment knocking him over. But his quick reflexes allowed him to create an ice way to keep him from hitting a mine.
The three boys climbed to their own feet and now stood in a three way face off for first place. "You two teamed up?" Todoroki asked, his breath still frosty after using his quirk.
"Hell no!" Bakugo bursted out. "We just agreed that we weren't gonna let you take first."
"Exactly." Yuuto followed up. "It was a temporary alliance." The dark haired boy began to grin maliciously. "And now, its ended." Yuuto stomped down on a nearby dirt pile before vanishing away.
BOOOOOMMMM! A large purple explosion erupted from the ground, knocking both Todoroki and Bakugo backwards and when the smoke had subsided Yuuto landed on the ground, having teleported into the air earlier.
Todoroki sat up looking angry, and Bakugo didn't just look it. "YOU SCIENCE PROJECT BASTARD!" The other two boys stood up, but before their could be confrontation in the distance an even louder BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM! Could be heard. All three boys turned to watch as Izuku Midoriya sailed through the air holding onto a slab metal with a trail of smoke behind.
Realizing what was happening Bakugo and Todoroki took off running, not wanting to be bested by Izuku but Yuuto was too mesmerized to do anything but marvel.
For a second it looked as though Midoriya would fall short of his destination and Bakugo and Todoroki would pass him up but in another stroke of ingenuity, he slammed the metal slab down onto another landmine, using the other two boys as leverage. That blast carried him past the mine field.
"...Awesome…" Yuuto muttered to himself before realizing his situation, and how far behind he had fell. "Crap!" He squinted to see if he could see the end of minefield. "Got it!" He proclaimed as he teleported forward. He was still a few steps behind the other boys when he arrived, but quickly started sprinting after them through the entrance of the colosseum like stadium.
"The first place winner!" Present Mic announced as the race came to a close. "The champion is Izuku Midoriya! Followed in second by Shoto Todoroki and in third Katsuki Bakugo!"
"Haaahh… Haahh.. Haahhh…" Yuuto panted still out of breath from the all out sprint at the end. "Fourth place?... Haah.. haah… Crap!" The dark haired boy groaned.
(Elsewhere)
In a dark room with a flickering television screen a man with long black haired tied back into a traditional japanese ponytail sat festering in rage as he watched the events on screen play out. This was the infamous crime lord Koishi Genji watching his son succeeding in the sports festival of the most famous hero school in the country, U.A.
"Oh look it's Yuuto." A charming feminine voice called out from the shadows. Then a beautiful young woman with long well kept black hair flawless white skin and shining red lips emerged. She wore a tight leather suit that showed off her features well and the top sported a V-neck designed to show off her cleavage. "First all those interviews, now he's showing off in the sports festival. You must be so proud father." The girl pulled a serrated knife out from behind her back. "Do you want me to eliminate him for you?"
"No." The crime lords voice was stern but you could hear the rage in his tone. "I invested too much into his quirk, I want you to bring him back. I'll… fix him myself…."

Alright so the first trial in the sports festival is done, not much has changed yet but because this is a fanfiction some of the cavalry battle teams will change as well as the tournament bracket. Remember please Read, Rate, and Review :)
