Quest received!
[Dispose of the U.A traitor]
Objective: Find, And get rid of the traitor in U.A.
Rewards: The rat is gone from U.A, Principle Nezu will vouch for anything you do, [Uncommon] loot box, [Slight stat boost]
Principle Nezu's words still echoed in my mind, He had given me a mission that only me and him would know. And after he had given me the 'suggestion' for me to not tell anyone and return home. Which I had followed.
Opening my door I threw my school bag onto the ground and layed in bed. My hero suit destroyed. The school had confiscated it and said they'd repair it for me. Which I think was fair for fighting they're enemies for them.
And now time to open my loot boxes.
'Open [Common] loot box'
[Common] loot box opened
Reward received!
[Black T-shirt]
A fresh new T-shirt dropped on my bed, Honestly for my troubles I was happy with this. Practically tearing off the hospital gown I put on my new shirt. Which was very comfy.
'Open [Uncommon] loot box'
[Uncommon] loot box opened
Reward received!
[Tramontina Machete]
A machete clunked off my floor, Landing on the tip peeking out of my floor. From guess alone I'd say it was about sixteen inches long. So I did the most reasonable thing.
I got a measuring tape.
Thankfully my house had been propped with many tools. So measuring it my guess was slightly wrong. Being eighteen inches instead of my guess of sixteen. So picking it up and placing it in my new branded 'weapons drawer' it lands beside my pistol.
'Open [Rare] loot box'
[Rare] Loot box opened
Reward received
[Class boost]
Like my previous reward I had gotten for the U.S.J incident. I placed it into Hydromancy. Absolutely boosting it too level 60. Not like I have any other classes to put in into. And at this rate it'll be time for too choose a new class by the end of the summer festival.
The school had given us a few days to cope with what happened today. And I was gonna spend all of that getting some very well needed rest, And in what seemed like a handful of seconds, I was asleep.
Waking up I was surrounded by a meadow field. Dozens of flowers populated the area. It felt like I had been here before, But I hadn't been here before. A strong case of Deja vu.
A small cottage sat upon a hill. About forty meters away from my current location. And glancing around in every other direction. It was the only sign of civilisation in sight. So I picked the smart option and walked towards it. Birds and various other animal noises were heard all around me. But I couldn't see any in sight.
Knocking on the door there was a slight pause of nothing. Until the door opened to a very, very tall robot. A solid two feet taller then me.
"This way sir"
Heavy clunks of the metal hitting the ground were all I heard as I followed the massive behemoth. A quick inspection and he looked very well built, Not even a small hole of any sort in his body. It wasn't a very long walk, Until we entered what looked like a modern day kitchen. The aura around me felt like I was in what a grandparents house feels like. Warm and peaceful.
The robot left the room the second I came in. Walking the other way, I took a seat and plopped down at the table. Resting my head on my arms on it waiting.
"Longtime no see number 2"
A man about the same height as I walked in. He had long, mid-back white hair, Eyes a regal blue. He looked as he had been chiselled by the romans themselves. His eyes studied me as he walked towards the table before taking the seat on the opposite end of the table.
"Yo Zeus." Letting out a carefree smile he leaned back into the seat. Doing so he exposed his completely defined stomach, A hearty laugh left his mouth before he went back to his previous position.
"Just wanted to do a little check up on my little project. What do you think?"
"About what?"
"The game obviously! What do you think. Do you like being possibly the most overpowered person in that entire universe? You have no limits!"
Well obviously I liked being the main character. But I didn't like all the conflicting emotions and decisions I have. A character in a game usually feels the pain, Not the player. So why do I feel all the agony from all the attacks I feel? And I feel like a total douche to all the girls i meet. Sure I don't say it out loud and I most definitely won't admit it but I don't like the way I think about them.
"You know I can read you're mind right?"
A chuckle leaves his mouth, Meanwhile my eyes widen. That's a total invasion of privacy right there.
"Yeah invasion of privacy yatta yatta yatta. Privacy doesn't matter between us. We can do anything! See anything, Be anything it doesn't matter! It's only a matter of waiting."
"I guess. But do you not feel awful for what you do? I'm still human. Sure I killed those people but that doesn't make me any better then them."
His face darkened as I spoke. The room instantly lost its peaceful vibe as the birds stopped tweeting. Complete silence engulfed the room as he stared into my eyes for what felt like infinity. Until it all came back and his previous smile took back control of his face.
"To be honest man? No. You might still be human but that can change. And eventually? We lose all rights and wrongs. What do they matter when you're so powerful I could destroy you're entire omniverse if I wanted too. All them little universes and multiverses you haven't even stepped into? Gone in a blink of an eye if I wanted. But I don't. Because being completely honest with you. You're the only new thing I have at the minute."
Ever heard you're heart beat so fast it felt like it was gonna come out? That's what I feel like right now. Or that might be Zeus trying to rip my heart out with his endless forms of magic.
"So I ask again. What do you think?"
"Its. It's good."
"That's what I liked to hear." A snap of his fingers and we were now in a what looked like a castle, His casual outfit had now been replaced with an armour that looked like the one guts wears in berserk. A giant maw covering his entire face with the only trait he shared from our previous interaction being his silk white hair.
He began walking, So I followed him. Walking through dozens of hallways that were like a maze. Until he leaded me to a room titled 'My hero Academia collection.'
"W-What is this?"
"Oh this? this is my collection from, Well read the plaque. Since it's you're first world I wanted to show you what you could do. Follow in you're big brother's footsteps you know." The double doors opened to show a room full of objects.
And people.
We once again continued our walk, until he brought me to yet another pair of doors, Albeit smaller. Titled 'Girls'. What the fuck.
"Man what the fuck is this?"
"What? Dude don't ruin the vibe and come on." His arm grabbed my shirt and he practically pulled me through. His strength like an actual god compared to mine. I couldn't even struggle to get out, Countless of the girls I knew, Liked even. In specific beds calling Zeus to them. He ignored them all but the maw previously covering his face came off showing his smug face off.
He let go off his grip and dropped me in front of a specific bed. My face thumped off the frame of it which sent me onto my back.
"Are you alright?"
My blood went cold as grey eyes stared down at me. Lacking they're usual confidence and only replaced with pure lust.
Yaoyorozu.
I shot up from my position and tried to walk away. This was only a dream and I wasn't doing this shit. Until my own shadow fought against me. Seemingly stopping me in my tracks and bringing me back too beside Zeus.
"Now man don't be running off on me now. This is you're girl right? Well you're girl from you're universe is different then this one cuz this one is mine. But hey close enough."
He leaned down and instantly entered into a make out with Yaoyorozu. She was practically eating him. The skimpy outfit she wore revealing almost everything she had. And the worst part was I couldn't stop looking. My eyes followed everything they did until he reached down and started undoing the tiny string that covered her private jewels.
"No!"
Zeus flicked back around. His eyes now a harsh red, Getting back off her she let out what seemed like a whine before he pushed her back with almost unrelenting force. Her whole body twisting before it slammed into the backboard with a harsh 'thump!'. But she just let out a little giggle as she sat back up. Like a schoolgirl madly in love.
"Now who the fuck. Are you to tell me what to do and what not too do? I'm player #1. Here that? Number one."
His hand came and gripped my by the neck. And how we felt the same height? Instantly gone. I felt like I was hanging from the Empire State Building. His iron grip making it so I couldn't move at all. His red eyes stared into mine almost judging if I should continue too live or not.
"That's strike one man. Remember, You can do whatever you want. Unless it involves me. I'm you're boss and you're everyone else's boss. Now get the fuck out of my sight before you're back in the void."
His arm flung me at what felt like the speed of light. Slamming through multiple walls that all repaired themselves as instantly as they were broken. Until I was out of the castle. Flying through a world that had giant screens praising Zeus. Calling him 'The people's hero.' It was everywhere, From billboards to blimps flying in the air. But my flight never stopped until I went higher and higher.
I had left the atmosphere. Now flying past moons and other planets. But even these ones had billboards and all praising Zeus, This time saying 'Intergalactic saviour.'
The air left my lungs as I felt myself suffocate. Speeding up as I eventually left the entire star system before hitting a giant block that ended my fly through his domain. All the bones in my body instantly felt shattered as I tried to scream but nothing came out.
My body flipped around before I saw what i slammed into. My blood went cold. Either from what I saw or the lack of heat. But I do know one thing.
'You can't leave.'
And like that I was back in my bed. Jumping out feeling perfectly fine. A quick check on my phone and I was indeed back in my universe.
But man, Fuck you Zeus.
Our break had passed much faster then anticipated, Which gave me time to contemplate of the recent discovery about Zeus. But that made me also think why would I get thoughts like that, And why would he even do that in the first place?
Well sir, Between me and you right now as you're system. Because you are the second gamer and currently not the strongest a small part of Zeus lays inside you. Which may be influencing you're thoughts and actions.
So you're saying in a roundabout term. Zeus is corrupting my mind.
Precisely. I think you're gonna need this sir.
Perk gained!
[Well-minded]
After you're recent discovery you're mind has become you're own. Any tampering from outside sources will have none, Or small effect.
Thank you Alfred.
My pleasure sir.
Almost like he had said it felt my mind had cleared up a tumour I didn't know was there. Even glancing around at the U.A students that were walking in the gates at the same time as me. I didn't stare at them as lustfully. It felt good.
Walking into the building I took the usual path up but didn't bump into anyone from my class on the way up. Either I'm very early, Or very late. Depending on how long I was musing for.
Opening up the huge door I was beginning to become accustomed too no one was in here. Minus Tokoyami, Who gave what I hoped to be a friendly nod before he went back to staring into the distance. So plopping down in my usual seat I did the smartest move and had a nap. Since certain circumstances meant I didn't have much last night.
Even though I wished I couldn't get into an actual sleep. Merely resting my eyes as I hear multiple footsteps walk into the room and take they're seats. The familiar person beside me plopping down but surprisingly not saying much. Probably shaken up from what happened.
There really wasn't a point of my pretending to be asleep. So sitting upright I see the whole class mostly filled. A few seats are still empty but a quick look at the clock and they have a few more minutes. Glancing over Kaminari looks a lot more seldom then usual. His face neutral as he stares into the distance.
"You alright?" His eyes flick over to me before they're replaced with its usual smile. But it didn't meet his eyes.
"Yeah I'm alright. Just wondering what we have in store today!" It was very clear he was lying and I wanted him to know he had people around him that would listen to him.
"You know I'm here right man? I understand if U.S.J fucked you up a little bit. No one could blame you."
10 Affection with Denki Kamanari for proving you have his back (40/100)
"Thanks man. I appreciate it." His smile finally seemed true before he went back into his musing, But this time in peace.
A few minutes later Aizawa walks in. Instead of the entire wraps covering his body like the anime. He only has some over his face and his arm in a cast, Getting off much easier.
"Alright this is short notice but personally i couldn't care. That's what being a hero does. But the sports festival is on soon. It'll be broadcasted live on television to show how impressive the U.A's students are."
Sports festival huh? I think that's when I stopped watching the show and only kept up too date with it. It was when they had to fight eachother in a tournament and whoever won got a medal. Along with two other things you had too do but I had forgotten being completely honest.
Aizawa left as fast as he had entered. Teacher Ectoplasm walked in a few moments later. Reminding me that we had maths. In both this life and my last. Maths is the bane of my existence.
He handed out a few sheets and I skimmed through it. My intelligence skill, Even if it was relatively low. Solved these sorts of things for me. The answers just usually appearing in my head. But this made me bored. I'd just have to sit there till everyone else was done which usually took atleast half an hour.
Zoning out the rest of the class flew by. And it was already lunchtime. A huge amount of students crowded outside our class.
"Move shitheads!"
The door slammed open as Bakugo forced his way past all the 'extra's' that blocked his way. Before he ran into a familiar looking purple headed student.
"Extras huh? Of course a entitled cunt like you would say that. With you're flashy quirk. Some of us don't get off that easy." His eyes glared daggers into Bakugo who stood unmoved, Even if he was an asshole he has massive balls. Which is the only compliment I will ever give him.
"Who are you too talk to me like that huh?" Bakugo and the other student I hadn't happened to get the name off. Squared up to eachother in the hallways. Both unmoving, And what was most annoying was they were perfectly in the way of everyone else. Stopping me from getting my tasty lunch.
Thankfully the two stopped they're bickering and separated. Albeit with a lot of heat between the two. Before everyone else slipped past the two and practically ran towards the cafeteria.
Three days had passed since we were told about the festival. And it was go time.
A speech had to be given for the commence of the sports festival. And midoriya of all people did it. Albeit he was a stuttering mess but the roars from the crowd seemed to have given him a bit of a confidence boost. If him walking off the stage with his head high was any sign.
Midnight had explained that midoriya would give the speech because he came first in the entrance exam, Leaving Bakugo fuming as he had come second place in the entrance exam, Leaving only yours truly third a mere two points behind him. And then we arrived at the start of the race.
All of first year. Literally every student from U.A first year stood in front of a start line. Yesterday in class Aizawa explained that we would have a race for the first part of the tournament. A solid three hundred students were all stacked upon. Ranging from the hero courses to even the general studies.
"ALRIGHT STUDENTS!!! GET READY FOR THE GREATEST RACE EVER!" Present Mics loud, booming voice erupted around the course. Before he began talking about how this would be broadcasted live for everyone too see.
"BEGIN!!!" The shout boomed as everyone began running. A few noteworthy candidates shoot forward. Such people like Todoroki, Bakugo and Iida blasted ahead. Each using they're different kind of ability.
I hadn't been using Hydromancy for the past few days so I had a lot built up. So instantly forming some wings and boosting forward. Flying past much of the normal students with an almost sound boom. Instantly catching up too bakugo.
"Fuck off shithead! This win's mine!"
His blasts sped up and sent him forward, Beginning to catch up too Iida in an instant. So following his example I conjure up more water in my boosts.

"AND THE PARTICIPANTS HAVE REACHED THEY'RE FIRST BLOCK. THE 0-POINTERS!" A large amount of the 0-pointers from the entrance exam blocked our paths. Atleast a dozen of them. Everyone came to a halt as we stared in shock, And awe at the sheer size of them.
luckily I was one of the first to regain my composure and shot up to begin flying past them. And a noteworthy one, Todoroki froze them all and began sliding over them. Easily passing me out below. Bakugo right on his tail moments later shouting his iconic line. The 0-pointers began to collapse upon eachother from the ice breaking, Which scared most of the students. But the heroic ones and brave simply ran past them or through them to get past.
The air pushed my hair back. Which had grown considerably since I first arrived here, A little past shoulder length now. Which made me look like I had a miniature cape as I flew through the air. The students below simply gazing up at me as I flew by.
Some of the students weren't as lucky. Kirishima and a student who looked made of steel had the robots collapse on top of them. But they easily got out, Sero used his tape to shoot around them like he was spider-man. With tokoyami replicating him using his quirk.
Yaoyorozu who I hadn't seen since class, Was using her quirk to her best advantage. She had somehow made a bomb. Which blew up some of the 0-pointers clearing her a path to get by. I lowered myself down a bit and gave her a thumbs up as I flew around them. Which she replied back with a determined smile as she began sprinting faster then I think she could.
From behind however, I saw my fellow classmate Mineta attempt to latch onto her back.
But that wasn't happening.
A simple shot of water hit him square in the jaw. Making him tumble and fly back through the crowd.
"WHAT'S THIS!? STUDENTS ARE SABOTAGING OTHER STUDENTS? WHILE IT ISN'T AGAINST THE RULES, I DON'T WANT ANY MORE FUNNY BUSINESS!"
Noted.
"I didn't need the help!" A shout from below made me chuckle as she created a scooter and began flying past everyone. Her determination surprising me, But I had a race to win.
Blasting forward I cleared the 0-pointer blockade. Before I ran into a new location.
"AND THE CONTESTANTS HAVE REACHED 'THE FALL!' WILL THEY BE ABLE TO PASS THROUGH THIS? WE'LL FIND OUT!" Present mic continued his commentary which blasted my ears each time I heard it. Somehow being heard across the entire course.
Lucky for me this part wouldn't be much of a problem. Since the wings on my back let me simply glide over them. But I was caught in a bit of a sticky situation when a bit of tape latched onto my foot.
"Sorry man! But we all gotta qualify somehow right?"
Glancing down Sero hung from my foot. Flying through the air below. A nod and I blasted forward with him flapping behind me. A laugh was heard from him as we flew through, Reaching about halfway before I seen Todoroki and Bakugo outpace me from wherever they went. Sliding and blasting forward respectfully.
"Hold on tight." Swooping down Sero ended up swinging above me. Gravity haven't taking its effect yet, Before I swoop back up sending him propelling forward onto the other side. A quick thanks and he was in hot pursuit of the duo.
Quickly reaching the end of that segment I looked back to see Uraraka just completely floating over the entire part. Iida somehow running across all the ropes being the only land transportation. A few other students such as Asui, Who was jumping like a frog across the whole thing stood out. Before I flipped back around and blasted forward to catch up too the competition.
Iida quickly ran past me. His engines in full use. But when he quickly came to a holt I understood why.
"AND FINALLY THE MINEFIELD! HOW DO OUR DEAR STUDENTS PLAN TO GET PAST THIS? OR WILL THEY GET PAST THIS!?"
Large signs saying danger surrounded the narrow end of the course. Everyone in the front of me stood in shock. Even bakugo and Todoroki, Before in a split second they blasted forward with me in hot pursuit, Me and Bakugo battled for supremacy of the air, Meanwhile Todoroki commanded the ground.
"SHITHEAD! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Bakugo must've heard about foul play being allowed. Because a blast from his hand into my face definitely isn't fair.
My vision disappeared instantly as the heat hit my eyes. Sending me flying into the ground surrounded by the mines. And by the feeling of then instantly being shot back into the air I'd guess I hit one.
Regaining my vision I was tumbling in the sky, Still in the direction of the finish line but the explosion had destroyed my creations. And I didn't have time to form anything, So it was a tough landing by the looks of it.
An explosion was heard behind me, Before Midoriya flew past me. Using a sheet of metal as a propulsion device, He was going at speeds I had yet to reach. And in seconds of being in the air he had already past Bakugo and Todoroki. Who instantly tried to catch up too him desperately. But I wasn't out of the race.
Following his example I create a water shield around my lower half before slamming into another bomb sending me forward, My entire body jumping at the sudden speed boost, The harsh winds slapping into my face.
The back of my opponents heads came into view as I flew past them. The finish line nearly in sight. Shouts came from the trio behind me before another explosion came past. A mop of green hair flying forward with a determined expression on his face. And too my right a half red half wet head came right beside me, But I could still use my power.
Even if I couldn't form wings, I could use propulsion on my feet like rocket boosters. So i did exactly that. Flying forward like a superhero my hand flew out on instinct, Trying to touch the finish line.
Two pairs of hands came from both sides of me. And one above me as we all flew forward. Bakugo had got me all worked up with that cheap shot. So I wasn't going down without a fight.
The distance closed as the clean white line of the finish line came into view. Shouts erupted from the quadruple tie that was looking like it was going to form.
The finish line broke as we all slammed into the floor. Some more gracefully then others, We all stared at the finish line in anticipation for present mics voice.
"MIDORIYA HAS CAME FIRST! FOLLOWED BY TODOROKI, ANDRES AND BAKUGO!"
Take that bakugo.
The sports festival has officially began. With the race finishing we move onto the cavalry battle and then finally the tournament. Where Andres will truly have his moment to shine.
The next chapter might be a slight bit shorter because there isn't much to say about the cavalry race but after that I'll try extend it a good bit a chapter.
