Chapter 4

Welcome back! Welcome to the fourth chapter of 'Frozen Time'. This marks the start of the second arc 'Festival Chaos'. And you might ask, why in the green hell would I put the sports festival in this story. For different reasons. One, for character development. Second, to create some bonds that will be important in the future and third, to plant the seeds for Him. Also, I want to write the fight between Todoroki and Izuku that I never had the chance in the old story. And with all this said, let's begin!

Legend:

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

Chapter 4: Festival of Caution

"Izuku! It is time to wake up!" Izuku growled as he turned to face his bed, trying to avoid the screams of his roommate, Tenya.

"Good grief... it is Sunday..." Izuku complained but Tenya ignored his complains.

"Mr. Aizawa said that he had an important announcement to do today! He will meet us in the common room!"

"See? More reason to stay and sleep all day."

After getting Izuku into some shorts and tank top, he dragged him to the common room and let him fall into the couch face first.

"Is he okay?" Mineta asked seeing the new boy not responding at all. He is like that most of the time, but today seems even worse.

Maybe it is because having someone like Tenya as a roommate.

Jiro grinned as she sat on his back "Hey sleeping beauty. Time to wake up."

Izuku mumbled something against the pillow that sounded something like 'Good grief woman, get off me'.

"Alright. Listen up." Aizawa said entering the room and the attention of everyone minus Izuku, still facing the pillow, went to Aizawa.

"As you know, UA just started operating this year and the three classes we made are finally full. So, the principal decided to throw a festival. Or a sports festival to be more specific."

"Hey! That sounds awesome!" Toru Hagakure cheered and Mina nodded along.

"I can't wait to show my skills to everyone!"

Katsuki grinned maniacally "I will destroy the competition here!"

As the class chatted up, Jiro looked down to Izuku with a smile "Hey, aren't you excited?"

Izuku turned his head to look to his father "There is something behind it, right?"

The chatter of the class died down as once again they looked to their teacher. Aizawa sighed "You are right. Besides to give the students a chance to know each other better, the government had asked us a test to see how well you guys know to use your quirks."

All the excitement of the previous announcement was nowhere to be found. The feeling of the class could be described in two words given by Izuku before he turned back to the pillow.

"Good grief."

*Cafeteria*

"This is bullshit." Katsuki said as he, Jiro, Izuku, Ochaco and Kirishima ate.

"But I thought that here we were safe..." Ochaco said as Kirishima grinned.

"We are! I bet that they will just give them some reports and nothing else! Trust me; we can't be better, so let's have fun at the festival!"

"You don't get it, do you?" Izuku asked and Kirishima raised a brow making Izuku close his eyes "Good grief. This place is just one big lie for quirked. They lock us here, have us under watch 24/7, and now they will have us act in front of them."

"Aren't you exaggerating a bit here?" Jiro asked and Izuku looked at a camera that was on a corner of the roof.

"No. Not at all. Because believe me; if someone dies here, they would care less."

"You know what man?" Kirishima said as he stood up and glared at Izuku "Ever since you arrived, the only thing you had done is complain and laze off. And I am sick of it. So, I will say it one more time; This is a safe place for quirked, away from the idiots of the quirkless. Do you-"

"The only idiot here is you." Izuku interrupted him and the glare intensified but Kirishima didn't say anything "I agree. Most of the harm done to the quirked is done by quirkless. We might be more powerful, but they still beat us ten to one. But that power that we have can be used wrongly. What? Do you think that all the news saying that a man killed someone with his quirk was made out of thin air? They put it over the ones of quirkless killing or harming quirked, but the fact remains; both sides are just as guilty for hating each other. And if you can't see it, then you are also part of the problem."

"Okay that's it!" Kirishima snapped as he hardened his fist and aimed a punch to Izuku's head. He moved to the side without stopping time, grabbed Kirishima's head and smashed it against the table and hold it there.

"Don't do that again." Izuku warned as Kirishima glared at him.

"Excuse me," Yagi said as he got close to the group. Izuku released Kirishima and looked at Yagi. "May I borrow Young Midoriya for some minutes?"

"Sure." Izuku said standing up and following Yagi to his office.

"This isn't over!" Kirishima screamed at him to receive a 'Whatever'.

The redhead crossed his arms "What a douche."

"And you, hair-for-brains? You started this."

As the group went back to talking, Shoto Todoroki that was putting his tray away, watched as Izuku left the cafeteria with curiousity hiding in his cold eyes.

'Who are you, Izuku Midoriya?'

*Yagi's Office*

"What is it, Yagi?" Izuku asked as he sat in front of the teacher that sipped tea.

"Did you hear the news?" He asked and Izuku raised a brow.

"I hope you know that is a vague question."

"About the attack it happened in the mall." That new. He heard Momo comment about it.

"Something I heard."

Yagi nodded "Well, basically; some quirked individuals attacked the mall killing multiple people. That is what the press said."

"But the press is usually full of shit." Izuku said and Yagi chuckled.

"That is one way to say it, but yes. You see, we received a notification of the minister of quirked relationships, that is in charge of this institution, that one of those men that died, was the one in charge of the documentation of the festival. And compared to all the chaos and destruction that happened there, he simply died of a slit throat."

"Huh. That is... weird for an attack like that. From what you are telling me, it must had been of quirks that can destroy or damage big time and quickly."

Yagi nodded "Indeed. And not only that, in the attack, there were no quirked harmed or killed, even after they were 20 reported to come in."

Izuku narrowed his eyes "What are you trying to say me?"

Yagi took another sip of his tea before sighing "I don't know my boy. But I have a bad feeling. I commented this with the principal, but he has faith that the festival will go without any problem."

Izuku nodded "And why are you telling me this, instead of everyone?"

Yagi grinned "Well my boy, I believe that you wouldn't panic at an old man conspiracy theory. Besides..."

"I know you would do the right thing if something happens."

Izuku lifted a brow. "Thanks? I guess?"

Yagi chuckled "Anyway, go back with your friends, I bet they miss you!"

Izuku nodded unsure as he rised and left the office. Yagi grin dropped once Izuku was out of sight as he looked to the window. Everything will turn out right.

Right?

*?*

"Hm... interesting..."

"So, was it what you were looking?"

"Indeed... thank you. To the 4 of you. This information will result useful, and this quirked will help me pay him back. Now leave and prepare."

"We have a festival to attend."

And done! That was chapter 4 of 'Frozen Time'. Hope you enjoyed. Now, a few things:

Kirishima is OOC. Why? Because I wanted to show how this world changed someone like Kirishima. He will turn back to 'Best Boi' across the story, don't worry.

And yeah. That's it. Wow, one chapter per day. I am good man. Anyway! Remember to leave your Review that it helps my motivation, PM me for any doubts or suggestions, follow and favorite me and the story to know of any updates.

Till Next Time.
