Chapter 18: The Sports Festival!
The Sports Festival got closer and closer. Hoshiko helped Izuku with his speech, it helped that she gave her second year's speech as she was the winner the year before.
He was still stressed because of it, but it was easier…
Training though was the easy part of it. It wasn't like he was struggling with his quirk.
Though there was something of a deal with the twins.
After all for third years the Sport Festival wasn't a bit deal outside of hero students.
And Inko could never get tickets.
Though Hiroki had to talk to Nezu who approved the idea but he had to be in a certain spot.
But still he would be there…
Still there was a lot going on with training too.
Over the next two weeks was plenty of training.
There was also certain paper work as he did want to use certain support items during Sports festival, as only support students could use support items without permission.
Izuku was nervous, but his sister kept reassuring him that it was going to be fine.
Though due to the fact that all three Sports Festivals were happening at the same time, there was a slight hiccup.
Though Hoshiko did tell their mom that she should watch Izuku's live and hers on online after.
Still the Sprots Festival was a big deal…
And soon enough it was time for the Sports Festival.
Izuku was prepping himself. When suddenly Todoroki approached him.
"Midoriya… objectively speaking I'm stronger than you." Said Todoroki.
"What?" asked Izuku confused.
"But All might is in your corner." Said Todoroki.
Katsuki snorted at that.
"Kacchan!" said Izuku.
"What…/ everyone knows it's because his quirk came in late… that's why All Might is helping him." Said Katsuki.
"Kacchan." Sighed Izuku.
"Even so, he's backing you." said Todoroki, "And because of that I fully intend to defeat you."
Katsuki started to laugh.
"You're seriously declaring war on him?" asked Katsuki.
"I am." Said Todoroki.
"Seriously man?" asked Kirishima.
Izuku sighed.
I don't know why you decided to tell me this…" he said, "It's true… right now you are stronger than me."
"Hey don't be so negative about yourself…" said Kirishima.
"But still.. the other kids are going to be aiming for the top…" said Izuku, "And…"
That was an alarm started to beep from Izuku's phone killing the moment.
Izuku sweat dropped as he took out his phone.
"Um… well… it's time to line up." Said Izuku rather awkwardly.
"What?" asked Kaminari.,
"He's class rap." Said Sero.
"I keep forgetting that." Said Kaminari.
Katsuki started laughing.
"It's not funny Kacchan!" yelled Izuku blushing.
"What is it your fucking luck!" mocked Katsuki.
Izuku sighed knowing he had a job to do as Class Representative.
"Besides you have a speech to do that's going to kick the ass of whatever you were going to say." Said Katsuki .
Izuku nodded .
And so they headed to the filed as the classes were announced.
In the stands in a certain box Hiroki watched.
On the field Izuku got nervous again.
"What a crowd." Said Izuku.
"Come on Deku! You knew this was going to happen." Said Katsuki.
"I know…" said Izuku.
"Is there a reason why he's nervous?" asked Iida.
"You'll see." Said Katsuki.
As all of the students gathered, a woman dressed like a Dominatrix took the stage, she was Midnight, the R-Rated hero who was acting as referee.
"Should an R-Rated Hero even be teaching the school?" asked Tokoyami.
"I heard that!" yelled Midnight, "Any ways it's time for the athlete's pledge with our student representative Izuku Midoriya."
"Oh wow." Said Ochaco.
"He did get first." Said Tsuyu.
"Yeah… for the Hero Course." Muttered a particularly bitter girl from General Education.
Izuku took some calming breaths but he was still very nervous.
"My parents aren't heroes… but I have a hero mentoring me and my older sister is a third year student who's not only a member of the Elite 4, but also won her first year sports Festival. I do want to win… and I have some big shoes to fill, but everyone wants to win here… I will be doing my best to try to win and make my mentor, friends and family proud! As well as going beyond Plus Ultra!" said Izuku.
The crowd cheered at that speech as while it was clear he was really nervous he was speaking from the heart…
Plus saying Plus Ultra was always a crowd pleaser.
In the teacher's box Toshinori grinned at the speech, sure Izuku was clearly very nervous, but he could tell the speech came from his heart.
Hiroki in his box smiled at his brother's speech.
At the Midoriya apartment, Inko cried at her son's speech.
"That was so beautiful!" she cried.
Back at the stadium, Izuku joined his classmates.
"I can't believe that the nervous kid got first place." Said a blonde boy from Class 1-B, "Who would have through 1-A's ace would be so scared."
Those from General Education all stared at Izuku.
Like they wanted to be mad at him, but somehow couldn't.
The Lavender Haired boy was staring at Izuku.
He really did seem like a decent person.
At the same time he wanted to hate him on principle.
"Wait… Midoriya… as in Hiroki Midoriya… the top 3rd year?" asked a support student.
"Hey! You're right!" said another support student.
"Oh man… he didn't bring up his brother only his sister." Said another support student.
"Well his sister DID win their first year sports festival." Said the first support students.
"Good point." Said the third one.
However a girl with pink dread locks and yellow eyes heard this and grinned looking at Izuku.
"All right! Time to announce the first event!" said Midnight.
A screen had a spiny wheel that landed on Obstacle Course.
"All right! It's a race between all eleven classes! The rules are simple! There a Four Kilometer track around the stadium. Anything goes as long you stay on the course!" explained Midnight.
All of the students got ready at the starting line…
Izuku knew that he had to just place high enough… sure winning would be nice… right now was just focused on getting high to pass to the next event.
Still the Sports Festival was just getting started… and who knew what was going to the obstacles in the race…
