So Shouta and I had lunch together. When I mean lunch, I mean, I got us lunch, hid in a corner to eat, and I had to drag Shouta back to the stupid sound booth because he decided to go to sleep.
It doesn't help that he's taller than me by like half afoot.
Anyway, onto something important: We have some fighting to do! The rounds have already been given out, and I get to start this whole sha-bang against Shinso, also known as Shouta's secret love child! Anyway, I have no idea what his quirk is, so I can presume it's not a physical quirk, more mental. However, that isn't the exciting part.
The exciting part is tail-boy Ojiro, and some kid from class 1-B decided to drop out because they believe they didn't get in on their merit. Later, I was told by Ojiro not to talk to Shinso because he does some mind control, and he mind-controlled his whole team the second round. Thinking about it, it's fucking genius! You limit arguments, and with one person controlling the entire boat. You probably have the most effective team next to if someone decided only to have a two-person team. It's an unpopular opinion, especially when I am the unstable one, but that's my opinion. Actually, let me rewind the whole conversation with him.
Conversation Between Ojiro and I
This is right before the match, and I'm in the locker room when Ojiro enters.
"Can I talk to you about your match?" Well, I needed the information.
"Sure, know something on him?" I ask.
"Yeah, his quirk. He has some mind-control quirk, and he used it on us the whole time. He gets control if you talk to him, so be careful. He used it for villainy." Oh, God. That is precisely the kind of shit that pisses me off.
"And?"
"He used it an evil way! How are you not seeing this?"
"I can tell you that if anything, he had the most effective quirk on the field."
"Huh?" This throws tail-boy off tremendously.
"Think about it. If one person controls a whole team, this saves a whole lot of time. Not only would you not have to ask people where to go, but it also prevents arguments that could slow you down. If he had people like Todoroki's team did, he honestly would have the best team on the field. Even now, it's arguable. Speaking of, I believe you shouldn't have withdrawn. You got in on your own merit. You just didn't get to think the second round. If anything, I believe you disrespected Shinso's quirk and him as well for doing so. Harsh, but my opinion."
"So that's the view of a quirkless person, huh?"
"Someone can see it with a quirk, you dingus. I gotta go. Got a Sports Festival to win." I get up and walk out.
Welp, I'm on the field now with CAT and Shinso across from me, and I'm excited, bouncing around like a Goddamn dog. My competitor looks at me strangely.
"Are you okay?" I nod with a huge smile.
"Yep! I hope you brainwash me! I want to know what it's like!" That throws him in a one-eighty. I seriously do want to be brainwashed. Competition be damned. I will figure a way out. Welp, while he recovers, Hizashi starts his introductions.
"TODAY, WE HAVE A BOY WHO LOOKS LIKE A BUSH WHO HAS BLOWN THE COMPETITION OUT OF THE WATER WITH A ROBOT CAT AND SINGING ABILITIES, WE HAVE IZUKU MIDORIYA! ON THE OTHER SIDE...WELL, HE'S NOT DONE ANYTHING WORTHY YET, BUT HE GOT THIS FAR SOMEHOW, IT'S SHINSO HITOSHI!"
"You boys ready to go?" Nemuri asks. I nod with a psychotic grin I always have while Shinso simply nods, "THEN BEGIN!" She smacks her whip, and I quickly run forward with my nunchucks, swinging them at him. I caught him off guard apparently as he jumps to the side, tumbling. So no fighting experience? Over-reliance on his quirk.
"Why aren't you using a quirk? You have to have something to get this far!" Shinso asks, dodging another swing, but I catch him mid-jump, wrapping him up before swinging the other. No experience at all. The only reason I didn't say anything is because I didn't want to reveal I was quirkless till I was out. I swing the other nunchuck back, wrapping him up with both, causing him to fall, "Seriously? Not even going to show off your superpower because you think you're above all?" I walk over to push him out of bounds.
"No. I only showed off CAT, and I already did that." The next moment, I feel nothing. I don't remember anything, so I will describe what happened.
He told me to walk out of bounds, and CAT interfered. You see, when I got bored, I added a feature to the headset visor thing on my head. I made it so that it can evaluate my mental state. I had to make it so it would either do it on command or something drastic happened like I went unstable. This is pretty much if I decide to have an anxiety attack for no reason.
Cat then said, "HOOMAN IN DANGER! I WILL SAVE YOU, HOOMAN!" Like fucking Temmie in Undertale and ran up and bit my finger. Now I'm back!
Just remind me to fix that. That will annoy the fuck out of me.
"WAIT, SO HIS QUIRK IS BRAIN-WASHING? A FANTASTIC QUIRK TO LOOK OUT FOR FOLKS! HOWEVER, HOW DID THAT CAT KNOW THAT MIDORIYA NEEDED BREAK OUT?" Hizashi asks. I can hear papers shuffling.
"Jesus Christ, this is over-complicated. There is a whole packet. One moment...jeez, apparently Midoriya added a feature in her headset to check over his mental state, and it can catch something like that presumably. That is a last-minute addition." Shouta grumbles.
"BETTER TO BE PREPARED!"
"That brain-washing is a quirk that shows how flawed the UA entrance exams are. It only focuses on physical quirks, not mental quirks."
"SHUSH, YOU CAN COMPLAIN LATER, THE FIGHTING IS ABOUT TO START!"
"Thanks, CAT! I assume you brainwashed me, Shinso? I have to say that it was paradise. Now, CAT put on Barrel Roll. You know, that one meme." I ask. CAT meows and starts blasting.
BARREL ROLL! BARREL ROLL! SHOOT THE BARREL BARREL ROLL! SHOOT THE BARREL BARREL ROLL! DO THE BARREL ROLL!
And it repeats over and over again. With a grin, I roll Shinso out of bounds literally. I had to ask CAT to stop playing the song as laughter roars before Nemuri can make her announcement.
"THE FIRST ROUND OF THE MATCHES GOES TO MIDORIYA IZUKU!" With clapping, I unwrap Shinso, offering him a hand up.
"You going to need to practice that hand in hand combat and get a support weapon, mate. Otherwise, you have a fucking fantastic quirk, and if anyone says other, I will beat their ass to the point they can't have children!" All this with a grin.
"You're insane and oddly specific."
"I have a feeling we will meet up again, so see you soon, brother!"
"Brother?"
"You will understand soon."
"You better win to show how strong you are."
"Already underway!" With that, Shinso and I walk out beside each other. Once we're off the field, Shinso looks at me.
"Did you seriously turn the Sports Festival into a meme?"
"Yes."
"We're going to get along great, my friend."
"Fuck yeah!" We got each other's number so I can spam him now.
Let me give you a quick rundown of the other rounds.
Sero was fucked the moment he stepped into the field because he got trapped in a literal fucking iceberg from Todoroki. He isn't moving from that.
Kaminari decided to use his full-powered move at the beginning that leaves him in basically my state of mind when I drink more than usual. The girl, Shiozaki from class 1-B, raised some vines from her hair, and she trapped him easily. It's a neat quirk to check out.
Next... Oh yeah...Poor Iida, he had to deal with Hatsume.
Iida got turned into a literal advertisement.
Hatsume managed to equip Iida in support gear legally and had me hack the sound booth so she can talk.
"Izuku, am I good to go!?" She asks her voice echoing through the speakers. I hacked with my headset, too, so everyone can hear me.
"Yas, queen! Get this ad rolling!"
"Thank you!"
"HOLD UP, WHAT IS GOING ON?" Hizashi asks, confused, and I can hear Shouta grumbling.
"It seems Midoriya hacked the sound system. Since it has no direct effect on the match, it's legal. Brat."
"No need to be so pessimistic! I'm not going to doing the talking anyway! I need to save my sexy voice for the next round! Anyway, give it up for Hatsume of the Support Department!" I declare, and I can see his glare through the glass. Asshole. This whole thing went for ten minutes with her explaining everything before walking off the field, giving Iida the win. Iida wasn't a happy boy.
The next round was Ashido versus Aoyama. Aoyama literally wasted himself away with Ashido spinning on her acid like a fucking ballerina. I need her to teach me. Anyway, he ended with a tummy ache, and she had no problem beating his ass.
Tokoyami and Momo's involved him simply overwhelming her to push her out of bounds. She didn't have enough time to create a weapon to use.
Kirishima went against this 1-B student whose name is Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. If that isn't an original name, I don't know what is. Well, they are both authentic replicas of each other. The only difference is one is steel, and the other is rock. They had a draw. In exchange, they had to do an arm-wrestling match that Kirishima won. It was the most boring match to watch. For God's sake, Hizashi fell asleep during it.
Finally, it was Bakugo versus Uraraka. It sounds like a horrible matchup, but the girl had a plan. She made sure to keep herself low while approaching him as he blasts at the ground before having A FUCKING METEOR SHOWER CRASH ON HIS ASS FROM THE DEBRIS HE WAS CREATING! Too bad, he just exploded the whole thing. What made matters worse is that fucking pro-heroes didn't notice what she was doing and told Bakugo to stop playing with the girl. Shouta had to step in and state that if they didn't see what she was doing that they shouldn't be heroes. That's my man for ya.
With all that out of the way, it's time for the next round! I move to the locker room to grab CAT because I had to charge them for full strength until I accidentally ran into a burning garbage can in the middle of the bloody hallway. An over-sized garbage can that you sneak the bodies of those who deserve it in. Except this garbage can needed to be burnt away himself.
Yep, it's Endeavor bitches! Too bad, he wants to talk to me.
"You're facing my son next round, right?" Endeavor asks. Oh yeah, did I mention I was going against Todoroki this round? Yep, I am, and I'm totally screwed! Oh well!
"CAT, come to my location and record," I whisper before speaking to Endeadvor, " Yes, now excuse me. I have some bitches to beat." I try to walk past him, only for him to step in my way.
"Who said you were dismissed?"
"Myself. I go by my own rules, you piece of shit." This pisses off Lord Ozai.
"You're supposed to respect me, you brat!"
"Stop acting like a child and give me the reason you decided to talk to me in the first place." This is when CAT appears beside me, and Endy looks down at it.
"You seem like someone capable of taking on Shoto, even without your quirk due to...CAT here. Don't go easy on him. I need him to beat All Might." Oh boy.
"Uh, first off, don't tell me what the fuck to do unless you want trouble. Second, don't ever use me as a challenge to build up to beating bloody All Might of all people because that is an insult to me. Finally, you don't need him to beat All Might. Don't throw your petty dreams at your son. If anything, he needs to leave your ass and get you arrested because you're not a hero." Time to do my signature psychotic smile, looking up at him.
"You're insane. I don't know how you got here, but I can end you sooner than you can end me."
"Bet. See ya!" I sing the last part, CAT following me as we head to the field. The recording stops. Todoroki is going to love this.
Back on the field we go!
"THE BOY WHO MAKES EVERYONE COLD ON THEIR FEET DURING A RACE, WE HAVE TODOROKI SHOTO! THE BOY WHO KNOWS HOW TO CAUSE TROUBLE, MIDORIYA IZUKU!"
"Hey Todoroki, I have something to show ya after this, and no, it's not my certain area!" I call over to him. I received a strange look from him, Nemuri laughing, and the rest of the people...I could care less. "CAT, arms, and secret mode." CAT meows, going to my arms before the arms turn into something else altogether. They are still arms, just with a different use.
Nemuri announces, " You two ready to go?"
"Yes." "Heck yeah!" We should know whose response is who. Otherwise, you need to go back to the beginning of this story.
"Then begin!" Nemuri whips the whip. Todoroki tries to finish it off quickly like the first round, starting to create a colossal iceberg my way. Too bad that it's not going to work. At the right moment, I thrust my arm forward with the palm facing him and a beam of energy slices through the ice. It takes a moment for the whole thing to shatter, ice going fucking everywhere, but I'm taking my chance here. With the nunchuck in my free hand, I throw the capture weapon towards him. He manages to dodge it mostly, but I swing for his ankle, it wrapping before I slammed him down.
"CAT, normal!" I dash forward as CAT gets off my arms, enabling me to move faster as I kick Todoroki in the stomach before he as a chance to get up. He starts icing the floor, but I jumped, landing on top. Slippery, but I know how to skate. I watched Yuri on Ice and Youtube videos on it. I should be able to, right?
"AIZAWA, WHAT THE HELL DID MIDORIYA DO!?" Hizashi, hell better not be considered a bad word, or I will go yee-haw on your ass like Snipe says apparently.
"CAT is based on a dog in a Power Ranger show called Power Ranger SPD? The main use for the dog was to track stuff and turn into a cannon. Midoriya decided to keep the integrity of the cannon, though he's only allowed to use the mini cannons that can break through glass and only slightly burn students."
"WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE MATCH THEN?"
"Todoroki is the strongest student in the class quirk-wise. Physically, he would have an advantage against Midoriya; however, Midoriya is a genius. Anything you see him use, he made by hand. CAT is the best thing he has built yet. Overall, he relies on intelligence. It depends on if he does something stupid or not." Fuck you, Shouta.
I slide back and forth to avoid ice from Todoroki, struggling to stay upright myself. But then I see his weakness. He is literally freezing himself. I whisper for CAT to get on my arms since I'm too close for him to turn me into a popsicle again.
"Um, might want to warm yourself up, buddy," I tell him, dodging yet another ice, though I'm slowed down due to the arms.
"What, did my father put you up to this?" Todoroki growls, managing to get me into a point of being unable to dodge, but I have a trick up my sleeve. Using all the weight from CAT being on my arms, I slam my fist forward, managing to break the ice. Good to know that aspect works!
"No, I have a whole video of the conversation if you want to see it. You might find pleasure in the things he says. But mate, that's later. You're dealing with my insanity now!" I ski forward somehow, surprising him by uppercutting him, causing him to fall as I lightly start to nudge him towards bound, " No offense, but this is kind of pathetic. You have fire. You have a quirk I would have begged for as a kid. It's your quirk, not your father's! Use it against him!" Finally, the boy grabs my leg and forces me to fall on my ass before trying to drag me out. I kick him off and stand up again. I approach him once more until I finally get a reaction. I have to move back because the boy CATCHES ON FIRE! I guess I pushed his limits.
"You're are absolutely out of your mind. You're not going to win this." I know better than to try this because he barely reacts, but...
"BURN ME, DADDY! CAT, PUT ON SOME KATY PERRY HOT AND COLD!" I dash forward once more, having to skid side-to-side to avoid being caught on fire.
You hot and you cold, you yes and you no, you in and you out, you up and you down!
I had to.
While I was moving to avoid fire, he catches me off guard by freezing me completely. Something so easily avoidable too! Fuck.
"Midoriya, are you able to move? You have 30 seconds to break out of it." Nemuri asks.
"Huh, need to think about that. I want to try something. CAT, normal!" The arms start to remove off, breaking a good bit of the ice before stopping. Damn it; the thing is too cold! Wait, I still have that nunchuck in my hand. I turn on the heat, pressing the button harshly to put on burning-hand mode. It melts the ice, but not fast enough.
"Due to Midoriya being unable to move, Todoroki is the winner!" She announces. Todoroki walks over to me to unfreeze me as applause echoes the room.
"Thank you. I needed that."
"Lucky shot. Just be prepared for next year." I grin. Once I'm out, I hear the gears whirling in CAT again as they transform into a cat. We shake hands, and as we walk out, somebody calls down to me.
"Hey kid, what's your quirk!?" The whole crowd quiets at the question. Oh yeah, I never told them, huh? Time to break reality.
"CAT, hack the sound booth again and link it to my voice." With a meow, CAT does what I asked, "Can everyone hear me?" I see a nod as I adjust the microphone," Well, remember when I said that I was rejected because of who I am? Well, plot twist, I'm quirkless, and I just showed up how many kids? Look how far I made it without a quirk! I have a brain! Sorry for not telling ya'll in the beginning, but if I did, I was afraid you would try to remove me because of quirkless being weak or something like that. That's the end of my show. See you next year!" With utter silence, I leave the stage permanently for this festival.
Now, if that ain't drama, I don't know what is!
Alright, so here's the thing. I could tell you how every match went; however, that would take for fucking ever, so I'm just going to tell you all the places and how they got there.
Bakugo got first place, but the boy was petty about it because Todoroki 'let him win,' so he looked like a dog with rabies on stage because he was tied to a cement block with a muzzle and everything! I took plenty of pictures, obviously. Karma came, bitch.
In the second place, we have Todoroki. After he defeated me, he fought Iida and won but lost to rabies dog.
In third place, we have both Tokoyami and Iida. Tokoyami went against Bakugo and lost because he is shit at close range, and Dark Shadow hates the light more than me. Iida lost to Todoroki as previously said, but he wasn't at the ceremony due to some family thing. I figure I'll learn about it later.
Also, I'm glad I lost. If I had a place, I would have punched the person giving out the metals and mocked him. It was All Might. Yep, sweet revenge. I'd rather not get sent to jail this early.
Back to the real world, I'm in the bathroom in nice clothing and trying to tie a tie. Yeah, I'm not meant to be professional. You may be wondering why I'm wearing nice clothes?
Well, I'm going to talk to Mom. Technically, we are meeting up with her tomorrow, but Shouta would ruin the moment, so I'm going today to have some private time with her.
I might get in trouble for it, but oh well!
I looked up a video on Youtube and managed to tie the stupid shit. Got to look good for Mom. After all, I haven't seen her for two weeks! I got to show I care for her somehow! I'm horrible at expressing it in words. We are still limited on time with Shouta's whole thing of earning days.
"Ready to go, CAT?" Yep, CAT is my official sidekick now.
"Meow meow!"
"I'm going to take that as a yes."
