Here we are everyone. The next part of the obstacle race.
Chapter 29
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh oh my gosh! It's Hero X!" Izumi exclaimed excitedly as she saw the Incursion formed Izuku standing on top the falling zero pointer.
She, like Izuku, is a fan of heroes and when she first saw the picture of Hero X, the dark green hair girl instantly became interested in him.
"He's only a first year?! So, does that incident that happen over a year ago count as vigilantism?" Izumu thought, frowning slightly as she thought back to the article that was attached to the photo.
"Well, the article did suggested that he was rescuing a friend of his that was about to get killed by the villain in charge of the robbery." Izumi thought before starting to look for the girl that was in Hero X's arms on one of the big screens that are stationed around the stadium.
"Brown hair girl...found her!" Izumi thought as she spotted Ochako using her Quirk to cause some robots to float into the air before releasing them and causing them to crash onto the ground.
"An anti-gravity Quirk?" Izumi thought, thinking how it's similar to her mother's Quirk.
However, the dark green hair girl shook her head before focusing her attention back onto Izuku just in time to see him stopping in front of a giant pit.
"And here we're have it folks! The second obstacle, The Fall! This obstacle has been kindly created for us by Power Loader. The students need to be careful if they don't want to fall off the ropes." President Mic explained as more students started to gather at the start of the second obstacle.
"I wonder what Hero X will do?" Izumi thought as she saw Izuku frowning and seemed to be muttering to himself.
Izumi giggled slightly as she saw the other students getting creeped out by him.
After a few seconds, Izumi saw Izuku backing away from the edge of the pit before running forwards and jumping off the edge.
Izumi let out a gasp and her eyes widened.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Maybe I should have tried my luck with rope!" Izuku exclaimed in his head as he started to miss the platform and started to head towards the rocky wall.
"Okay, this will hurt." Izuki muttered as he braced himself and evolve his body to make it metallic.
Izuku grunted in pain as he slammed into the rocky wall and started to fall.
Using all his strength, the dark green hair boy dug his clawed hands into the rock surface, successfully stopping himself from falling downwards.
"Now the hard part, climbing up." Izuku muttered before closing his eye and taking a deep breath.
"I think I was close to having a heart attack." Ochako said in a relieve tone of voice.
"Gzzz. Zwen does sure know to shock people." Mina said as she Izuku attempting to climb up the rocky wall.
"Come on, you two. You don't want to be left behind." Tsuyu said as she started to crawl along one of the ropes.
"Hehehe. This is my time to shine." A voice spoke, causing Ochako, Mina and some other people close to them, to turn their heads to see a girl with pink hair and wearing many electronic gadgets attached to her body.
"She must be from the support course." Ochako thought, glancing at gadgets.
"Are you allowed to have those?" Mina asked with a confused look on her face, referring to the gadgets.
"You guys in the heroic course gets practical battle training. So, to make things fair for the Sport's Festival, we in the support course are allowed any items and costumes as long they are developed by ourselves." The pink hair girl explained as she did a double check of her gadgets.
"So, you could say that this is the golden opportunity for the support course to show their craftsmanship to the world!" The pink hair girl said before firing a grappling-hook that hit the same rocky pillar that Izuku is still climbing on.
"Whow!" Izuku exclaimed as the grappling hook made a "Thwank" sound somewhere close to him.
"...Maybe I should I have warned Dragon boy over there..." The pink hair girl said as she, Mina and Ochako watch Izuku almost loose his hold on the rocky wall.
"If Deku dies then I'm blaming you." Ochako said, glaring at the pink hair girl who chuckled slightly.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. I'm off." The pink hair girl said before pressing a button, causing the grappling hook to launch her towards the platform.
"She's fast!" Mina exclaimed in a shock tone of voice as she saw the pink hair girl moving swiftly up the rocky pillar.
"Come on! We need to get moving!" Ochako said before using her Quirk on herself whilst running towards one of the tightropes.
"Al...most...there..." Izuku said as he almost reached the top of the platform.
"Here. Let me help you, Dragon boy." A voice spoke, causing Izuku to look up to see the pink hair girl with an arm extended towards him.
"Thanks." Izuku said as he took the pink hair girl's hand where upon she pulled, effectively placing Izuku onto the platform.
"Did you had a fun time climbing?" The pink hair girl asked with a grin on her face.
"It was hard and I almost fall off." Izuku said, saying the last part with a glare directed at the pink hair girl.
"Sorry, Sorry. The name's Mei Hatsume, student of class 1-H by the way." The now named Mie introduce herself.
"My name is Izuku Zwen, student of class 1-A." Izuku introduce himself, causing Mie to nod her head slightly.
"So your from the top class then." Mei mused before focusing her attention back onto the track.
"Well. there's no time to take a break. Time to get moving. See ya at the finish line." Mei said before shooting off with her gadgets.
"She's fast. Probably as fast as Ida." Izuku thought, before spotting the engine Quirk user swiftly moving across a rope.
"Time to get moving myself." Izuku muttered before going on a rope this time.
With the students at the front of the pack, they have arrived at the last obstacle.
"Welcome to the last obstacle, the Minefield! A quick glance is enough to show the locations of the mines, by I suggest you not stepping on them. Even though they are not deadly, you may need a change of underwear." President Mic said, causing Mr Aizawa to give the voice Quirk user a deadpan expression on his face, even though it can't be seen due to the bandages.
"Depends on the individual." Mr Aizawa said as the students started to move across the minefield.
"This puts the leader at a disadvantage." Shoto thought as he carefully place his foot on the ground.
An explosive sound is heard, causing the white and red hair student to turn his head, expecting to see one of the students to be blasted away from one of the mines.
However, Shoto saw Katsuki flying over the minefield entirely.
"Hey, Half and Half!" Katsuki called as the explosive Quirk user reached Shoto.
"You gave the declaration of war to the wrong person!" Katsuki shouted before going past Shoto.
"And now we have new leader! However, the rest of the first years are catching up!" President Mic exclaimed as Shoto and Katsuki started to fight each other.
"I need to avoid as much landmines as possible if I want to reach first place." Izuku muttered, frowning as he tried to think of a plan.
"...I guess just legging it will be a good idea..." Izuku muttered before taking a deep breath and increasing the output of One For All.
Back at the stadium, Izumi eyes widen in curiosity as she watch Izuku.
"I wonder what Hero X is planning." Izumi thought before becoming shock as Izuku started to run straight into the minefield.
"Here we have a reckless student running straight through the minefield." President Mic said as he started to laugh loudly whilst Mr Aizawa sighed.
Shoto and Katsuki became surprise at the announcement and glance over their shoulder to see Izuku fastly approaching them, managing not to get hit by the explosions that are going off behind him.
"WHAT ON EARTH IS ZWEN/DEKU DOING!?" Both shouted in their heads at the same time.
"Todoroki! Kacchan! I'm sorry, but first place is mine!" Izuku called before jumping into the air.
"Deku!" Katsuki called, activating his Quirk, giving him a boost of speed.
Unfortunately for the explosive Quirk user, he just happening to be in the same place when Izuku touched on the ground, or rather Katsuki's back, with his feet.
"Thanks for becoming a springboard!" Izuku shouted before pushing off with all his strength, sending him further.
"De-!" Katsuki began to shout but the explosive Quirk user just happened to land on a landmine, causing it to go off.
When Izuku landed on the ground, he rolled and ran towards the goal.
The dark green hair boy glance over his shoulder to see Katsuki activating a landmine.
"I'm sorry Kacchan. But I made a promise to All Might. I need to shout to the world that the new symbol of peace is here." Izuku thought as he cross the finish line.
"And there we have it! Taking first place in the obstacle race is the student of class 1-A, Izuku Zwen!" President Mic announced and the stadium went up in a uproar.
Katsuki and Shoto crossed the finish line.
"D-darn it." Katsuki said through gritted teeth whilst Shoto stared at Izuku with narrow eyes.
"And students are crossing the finish line one after the other. Take a breath for now, students. The next part of the preliminary round will start soon." President Mic said as the rest of the first years started to cross the finish line.
"That was awesome Deku!" A voice exclaimed, causing the still Incursion formed Izuku to turn around to see Ochako wobbling towards him.
Behind her is Tenya who has a depress aura around.
"He's probably depress that he didn't got first place. His Quirk would have certainly help him." Izuku thought before jumping back when Ochako got up to his face.
"But first place! I'm so jealous!" Ochako exclaimed, causing Izuku to chuckle slightly as he transform back into his human form.
With Izumi, the green hair girl became excited when Hero X cross the finish line and when President Mic announced the winner's name, Izumi perked up slightly.
"Hero X's real name is similar to mine!? and Zwen...where did I heard that name before...?" Izumi thought before seeing Izuku transforming back into his human form.
"So, his Quirk is a transforming type instead of a mutation type-!" Izumi thought becoming shock.
"Mum, Dad. Hero X has the same features as-huh?" Izumi began to say but stop when she saw both Hisashi and Inko having shock expressions on their faces and they look pale.
"Mum...Dad...is everything okay...?" Izumi asked, starting to become worried.
"...Everything fine, D-Dear. D-don't worry about u-us." Inko said in a shaky tone of voice.
"...Okay..." Izumi said becoming confuse.
"Okay, those who are the top forty-two in the race will move onto the next part of the Sport's Festival." Midnight explained just as the screen lit up.
"And our next event is...Cavalry battle!" Midnight exclaimed, causing the students to start mumbling almost themselves.
"Participants will get into teams of two to four members and get into horse and rider formation. The main goal is to steal the headbands of your opponent's headbands whilst protecting you own. Each of the forty-two students will be assigned a point value depending on the result of the race." Midnight continued to explain as the students started to murmur again.
"the lowest point value will be five and will go up in fives with except for first place which is worth..." Midnight began to say, causing everyone to become silent whilst Izuku started to become nervous.
"...Ten million points." Midnight announced and immediately all the first forty-one students whipped their heads in the direction of Izuku who has a hardcore deadpan expression on his face.
Complete silence filled the stadium before it got broken by laughter.
"Look at that face! Look at the face! I hope that this is recorded! I can probably die as a happy man!" Gran Torino said through laughter.
"Teacher. Please be sympathetic for young Zwen..." Toshinori said, feeling worried about his successor.
"...Ten million." Izuku repeated as he felt every eyes on him and in his mind, the dark green hair boy felt that he's been stared at by demons.
"You have fifteen minutes to pick your team. Good luck with this game of survival!" Midnight announced and everyone started to form teams.
However, for Izuku Zwen, he faced with a big problem.
"Nobody wants to team with me..." Izuku thought, seeing how everyone is avoiding him.
"I guess that's be expected. With me having the highest value of points, I will the main target for all the teams." Izuku thought, looking around to see anyone available to be on his non-existing team.
"Deku!" A voice called, causing the dark green hair boy to turn his head around to see Ochalo running up to him.
"Do you have any free spaces?" Ochako asked with a grin on her face.
"...Really? You have to say that?" Izuku asked with a deadpan expression on his face.
"Sorry. Can resist." Ochako said whilst chuckling nervously.
"So, you want to team up with me then? You will targeted by all the other teams." Izuku explained, causing the gravity Quirk user to nod her head.
"Of course. And anyway, with you point value, you can just run away until time runs out." Ochako explained, causing Izuku to slowly nod his head.
"Good thinking, but we will need/Hey, Dragon boy! Can I join your team?" A voice suddenly interrupted Izuku, causing both the dark green hair boy and the gravity Quirk user to turn their heads.
"Gah! Hatsume!" Izuku exclaimed, jumping back from the closeness of the pink hair student.
"S-so. You want to join my team, then?" Izuku asked, causing Mei to nod her head.
"Of course! With your point value, I'm guaranteed to pass this round and that's a step closer to show my babies to the world." Mei explained with a grin on her face.
"She only cares about my point value." Izuku thought whilst sweat-dropping.
"Babies?" Ochako asked, becoming very confuse at what Mei just said.
"The gadgets that I built." Mei replied, causing the gravity Quirk user to nod her head slightly.
"All we need now is one more person." Ochako said, causing Izuku to nod his head before frowning.
"Yes, but who..." Izuku muttered, not realizing that there is someone behind him.
"Can I join your team, Zwen?" A voice asked, causing Izuku, Ochako and Mei to jump before turning around to see who have spoken.
"Tsunotori?!" Izuku asked, still in a state of shock.
"Hi there!" Pony said with a smile on her face.
"You want to join my team... " Izuku asked in an unsure tone of voice.
"Yep!" Pony replied whilst nodding her head.
"Is that okay with you two?" Izuku asked, glancing towards Ochako and Mei.
"What ever works with you, Dragon boy. I may have a few babies that can work well with her." Mei said as she examine Pony.
"...Sure." Ochako said, frowning slightly.
Izuku turn his attention back towards Pony.
"You can join my team." Izuku said, causing Pony's smile to widen.
"Yey! Let work together again!" Pony exclaimed before hugging Izuku tightly.
Alarm bells suddenly went off in Ochako's mind.
"Hands off! He's mine!" Ochako said before pulling Izuku away from Pony's hug.
Both the horse-like student and the pink hair girl stared at the gravity Quirk user whilst blinking their eyes and Izuku gained a sheepish look on his face.
"So, you two are an item then?" Mei asked, causing Ochako to nod her head quickly.
"What a pity. He's my type." Mei said with a smirk on her face and Ochako started to glare at the pink hair girl.
"Please, no fighting." Pony said in a pleading tone of voice.
"Yes. We need to form a plan." Izuku said and Ochako frowned at Mei for a few seconds before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.
"Okay, what's the plan then, Leader?" Ochako asked as she release Izuku.
"Fhew! Just made it." A voice said, causing both Toshinori and Gran Torino to turn their heads to see Andra walking down the steps towards them.
"Kindel? Where have you been?" Toshinori asked with a raised eye-brow.
"I had to fill in some guard duty work." Andra replied, causing both Toshinori and Gran Torino to glance each confusedly.
"Did something happened to one of heroes?" Grand Torino asked, becoming concerned.
"Well...she was kinda busy with having her photos taking..." Andra replied nervously, causing both male heroes to stare at her.
"Seriously?" Toshinori asked, causing Andra to nod her head as Gran Torino let out a sigh.
"Typical. A great way to show the next generations of heroes." Gran Torino muttered as Andra look towards the field.
"So, what's happening?" Andra asked, becoming curious.
"The next event is cavalry battle. The first forty-two students of the obstacle race get into teams of four with a point value assigned to each student. The aim is to steal the headbands whilst protecting your own." Toshinori explained, causing Andra to nod her head.
"So, what point value does Zwen has?" Andra asked, causing Toshinori to grin.
"He got first place on the obstacle race and his point value is ten billion." The true form of the number one hero replied, causing Andra's eyes to widen.
"Seriously?!" The female Incursion exclaimed, causing Toshinori to nod his head.
"hehehe. You should have seen his expression. Totally hilarious." Gran Torino said, laughing slightly as Andra nodded her head slowly with a slightly confuse look on her face.
"So, does Zwen has a team?" Andra asked having the feeling that the dark green hair boy may have a hard time forming a team.
"Well, young Zwen finally formed a team now actually." Toshinori said, glancing over towards his successor and saw him with Ochako, Mei and Pony.
"Girls?" Andra asked with an raised eye-brow.
"Heh. It looks like that Zwen will be popular with the ladies when he becomes a full fledge hero." Gran Torino said with a smirk on his face, causing both Toshinori and Andra to nod their heads slightly.
And there we have it, the beginning of the Calvary Battle Izumi have the first look at Izuku along with Hisashi and Inko almost having a heart attack. I hope that everyone likes how I made Izumi a fan of Izuku when he was referred to as Hero X. Please revive and until next time.
