Chapter 8: Sports Festival
Review Replies
Joanne Frances Tiano Cajilig: The smut was too hot! I'm melting! When Mina screamed it made me jump, I can't wait for the next chapter and will class b get jealous?๏๏
Dragon Emperor0: Glad you liked it. Expect more hot messes later on. Like really.
ThermalsniperN7: As for Class 1-B getting jealous… Maybe Monoma will.
Knightmare Lord: We have Envy and Pride, wonder if we'll get the other five Deadly Sins!
Dragon Emperor0: Probably not, since there's not much else to expand beyond those two.
ThermalsnipeN7: Not to mention a lack of viable candidates for the other Sins.
SuperShadic2002: Whole new meaning to clap them cheeks I guess. Though calling it right now, there's something more than meets the eye with the blonde bomber.
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah. He's descended from the Goddess clan similarly to Izumi who's descended from Giants and Fairies. And he has Sunshine. Come on man, pay attention.
ThermalsniperN7: What he said.
-Somewhere in Japan-
In a run down building in a far part of the municipal suburbs, an elderly man was sitting on a couch eating some taiyaki pastries whilst reading a letter.
Said letter was from All Might, and it depicted how he came across a young woman who he decided to make the ninth holder of One for All, and how she's been doing quite well.
Though the man nearly bit his tongue on his snack when he reached the paragraph talking about the girl's unnaturally high strength and strong physiology, and another one of the Symbol of Peace's students.
Specifically, how Izumi was tough enough to apparently not even be crippled after having her limbs shattered, and Katsuki being a descendant of the Goddess race and the third holder of Sunshine.
"Hm… These two kids are definitely worth keeping an eye on." The elderly man mused. "But these abilities the girl has… could it be?" He hummed as he got up and hobbled over to a bookshelf, and took out a tome bound in leather before putting it on the coffee table and opening it to a chapter.
Giants.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile, at UA, Class A was gathered in the classroom and talking about the USJ incident and how the news was all over it.
"Man, people are really panicking over the attack." Sero commented.
"Can you blame them? Villains somehow got past security and started wailing on us." Sato told him.
"Makes me wonder what would have happened if the teachers didn't show." Kirishima shuddered.
"Why would you say that?! I'm about to pee myself just thinking about it!" Mineta whined.
"Oh SHUT UP! GROW A PAIR, LOSER!" Katsuki yelled, causing the short stack to yelp.
"Midoriya honestly had the worst injuries out of all of us." Mina sighed. "Speaking of which, how are you holding up?" She asked, looking at the verdette, who was running her left index and middle fingers along a scar on her right forearm.
"Fine now, Recovery Girl helped me finish healing this morning." The girl sighed, stretching before she hugged Katsuki from behind from her desk.
"I still wanna kill those bastards for hurting you." The bomber sighed as he held his girlfriend's hands.
This caused the girls to all start cooing at the blonde's attitude shift, while the boys all grinned.
"Not so tough now, are ya Bakugo?" Kaminari laughed.
"The big bad bomber of the class has been tamed by his fearless girlfriend!" Kirishima exclaimed, letting out a bark of laughter.
"What's the matter? Jealous that I got a girl and you didn't?" Katuski shot back in a taunting manner.
"Jokes on you, I went on a date last week." Kaminari retorted with a smug grin, causing Jiro to blush almost immediately.
"Hold up, say what now?" Izumi asked, doing a double take as she looked at him while letting go of her boyfriend.
"Yeah, last week I went on a date to one of my favorite hamburger places with this really cute girl I met after the USJ attack." The electro user nodded with a grin. "I had a pretty good time, think she did too, but I never got the chance to ask." He added with a sort of sad sigh, causing Jiro to blush even more and Momo to stifle a laugh.
"Well, at least me and Izumi aren't the only ones who got together." Katsuki mused with a shrug.
"Huh?" Kaminari questioned, not understanding what he meant for a minute, which caused the earphone girl to facepalm.
"Are you serious…?" She groaned.
"... Oh." The boy said, realizing that the two already knew who he went out with. "Wait, how'd you know?" He questioned.
"Oh, I knew because the girls roped me into a group chat about Jiro having a date." Izumi shrugged.
"And then she told me." Katsuki added nonchalantly. "Plus, the fact that ears reacted the second you mentioned it, made it pretty obvious." He added.
"... Shit." Kaminari hissed.
"Not cool, dumbass!" Jiro hissed.
"How was I supposed to know?" The boy defended himself.
It was at this point that Iida appeared in front of the class in a blur.
"Everyone, class is about to start! Get to your seats!" He exclaimed, failing to notice one crucial detail.
"Uh, you're the only one standing." Sero pointed out since everyone else was already seated.
"Dang it!" The speedster sighed as he sat in his seat.
"Don't sweat it!" Ochako chuckled.
"Though while we're on the subject, who do you think's gonna take over for Mr. Aizawa?" Mina questioned.
"Ribbit. Yeah, he was pretty banged up." Tsu nodded.
"Yeah, I saw." Izumi nodded pointedly, causing everyone to shrink.
"Sorry." Tsu apologized.
It was at that moment that the door opened up, and their teacher came in but was covered in bandages because of his injuries.
"Good morning everyone." The erasure hero said.
"Mr. Aizawa? What're you doing here?!" Everyone exclaimed.
"My needs are minor in comparison to the bigger picture." The underground hero told them in reply. He then turned his mummy wrapped gaze to Izumi and Katsuki. "Before I begin. Midoriya, Bakugo. Are both doing better?" He questioned.
"Much better now, yeah." Katsuki replied with a nod.
"I finished healing this morning. I'm golden." Izumi added with her own nod.
"Good. Because I'm going to expect you to work extra hard, in case your relationship together has you slacking." The man stated, causing the two to tense up.
"Okay, who blabbed?!" The two blurted.
"Sorry!" Mineta confessed.
"You little fucker! I'll kill you!" The new holder of Sunshine roared angrily.
"That's enough." Aizawa told them. "What's important now is that your fight isn't over yet." He explained, causing everyone to go rigid. "The UA Sports Festival is just around the corner." He added.
This made everyone erupt into chaos, saying one thing or another about it before their teacher shut them up.
"Hold on, are you sure that's a good idea?" Kaminari questioned.
"Yeah, holding a Sports Festival after the USJ seems like it'd be kind of insensitive." Mina added. "Especially given what happened." She continued, trailing off.
"I understand your concerns, but this festival is meant to show the country that we're still in control." Aizawa told her in response. "It also allows those of us that were injured to show that we bounced back from what put us in the hospital." He added, glancing at Izumi and Katsuki knowingly.
"He's right. If the people see the students that got injured moving like nothing ever happened, that'll raise their spirits." The verdette nodded, seeing what her teacher was saying.
"Additionally the UA Sports Festival is important because it allows the world to see what you're made of. In terms of scale and views, it rivals the Olympics. So it's not something we can cancel because of some villains." The underground hero continued.
"Um, excuse me but why not? What if those villains try to kill us again?" Mineta questioned.
"Mineta, don't you know how important this Festival is?" The giantess questioned, turning around.
"Of course I do! I just don't wanna get murdered!" The boy stated defensively.
"You don't have to worry. Security is increasing by a large amount in comparison to previous years." The erasure hero explained. "It's important because you only have one chance a year and three in a lifetime. No aspiring hero can miss this festival." He continued.
"That's true, most students join agencies as Sidekicks after graduation." Kaminari noted.
"Yeah, but that's about as far as some go. They miss their chance to go indie and become eternal Sidekicks." Jiro shrugged, turning to her… friend? Boyfriend? She honestly hadn't decided since they really only had the one date. "In fact that's probably where you're going. You're kinda dumb." She added in a teasing tone.
This caused the boy to clutch his chest. "Oh Jiro, you wound me! How could you?" He wailed dramatically.
The punk rock girl merely rolled her eyes in amusement in response.
I can't tell if they're actually together or not." Katsuki whispered to his girlfriend.
"Same." Izumi whispered back.
"Those reasons are why you shouldn't slack off on your training." Aizawa told them.
"Yes sir." The class nodded.
(Later)
"That villain stuff sucked, sure. But I'm totally pumped for these games!" Kirishima exclaimed after Science with Cementoss ended.
"We put on a good show and we're basically on the track to being pros." Sero added.
"Yeah. This is why I'm even here in the first place." Sato grinned.
"We get so few chances, we must make the best of it." Tokoyami nodded.
"Damn right we do." Katsuki nodded.
"Man, Ojiro, I'm so worried about how I'm gonna try to get noticed at the festival!" Toru whined.
"Yeah, that's a delima." The Tailed teen nodded.
"I'm jealous of guys like you, Sero and Jiro, Shoji. People are bound to notice your quirks." Kaminari sighed.
"Noticing won't do much if we can't show how useful we can be." Shoji stated.
"Pft! No doubt you'll make a scene too with that derpy side of yours!" Jiro snorted, stifling a laugh as she remembered him babbling… still finding it cute.
"Why do you do this to me?!" The electric blonde groaned in comical dismay.
"Oh yeah, they're definitely going to be a thing." Katsuki nodded, causing Kirishima to look at him.
"Whaddya mean?" The redhead questioned.
"Everyone's pretty excited…" Izumi mused to herself.
"Of course! Our aim is to become heroes, so naturally we're all fired up!" Iida exclaimed, doing some sort of odd dance.
"Interesting moves, Iida." The girl chuckled.
"Ribbit." Tsu nodded.
"You have to be excited too, right Midoriya?" The speedster asked.
"Yeah, but also nervous, honestly." The giantess nodded. "Because, ya know, the whole country is watching." She added.
"Oh yeah, that." Kirishima nodded in understanding.
"Iida, Izumi…" Ochako said in an almost intimidatingly determined voice. "Let's do our best in the sports festival!" She added, her face just as fierce as the aura around her.
"Um… Yeah?" The speedster and the giantess responded in awkward tones, just as awkwardly raising their fists in the air.
"I said, LET'S DO OUR BEST!" The brunette repeated, yelling it this time.
"Uh, you okay? You kinda sound like you're losing it." Kirishima asked nervously.
(Later)
Right around lunch time Izumi was heading to lunch with Iida and Ochako when she decided to ask her brunette friend why she wanted to become a hero. The reason she got should've been expected, but it wasn't, at the same time.
"Wait, for the money?" The giantess questioned. "You wanna become a hero so you can get rich?" She asked.
"Yeah." The gravity girl admitted nervously. "I know it doesn't look noble, but…" She trailed off with a sigh. "I hope you don't think less of me."
"Not at all! Your aim is to support your well-being, which is an admirable ambition to have." Iida told her.
"It's just kinda surprising, honestly." Izumi shrugged.
"It's not just that." Ochako told them. "You see, my parents run a construction company, but they've fallen on hard times recently. The reason I want to be a hero is so I can give the money I make to them." She explained. Izumi didn't need long to connect the dots.
"Wait, I get it! If you can get a hero license, you can make all the building materials float so your parents can sell all the construction equipment!" She exclaimed in realization. "Or better yet, just use your connection to UA to get your parents some work around campus." She added.
"I know! I've been telling my parents that ever since I was a kid! But… my dad said I should be trying to achieve my own dreams. Not worrying about them." The brunette sighed.
"I realize that your parents mean well, but they should realize by now that your dream is to make them happy." Iida commented, feeling slightly miffed about his classmate's situation.
"Exactly my thinking, Iida." The giantess nodded.
Before they could talk any further, though…
"Young Midoriya is here!" All Might exclaimed from around a corner, getting their attention.
"Okay, I'll bite. What's going on?" The girl asked.
"Lunch!" The man replied as he held up a bento box… wrapped in a baby blue rag with bunnies on it. "You wanna eat with me?" He offered.
"PFFFFT! That is adorable!" Ochako snorted in mirth.
"Uh, sure. I'll be right over!" Izumi nodded as she went to get some food.
(Later)
"Only fifty minutes?!" The girl exclaimed as she nearly dropped her rice after All Might deflated so he could sit down.
"Yep. The USJ attack has left me with only that much time." The No. 1 Hero sighed. "Even with your boyfriend taking out the big guy, it still took a toll on me." He added.
"I'm sorry, if I hadn't gotten hurt like I did, this probably wouldn't have happened." The girl apologized.
"Hahaha! You don't have to apologize for anything! Man we are alike, you and me." The man sighed.
"What?" Was all Izumi could muster in response.
"It's nothing. Here, have some tea." The blonde told her as he handed her a glass of green Sakura tea. Taking the glass, Izumi took a sip and let out a relaxed sigh.
"Oh yeah, that's the good stuff." She sighed, content.
"I bet." Her mentor chuckled before he turned serious. "Now, it's time we talked about the Sports Festival." He told her. "You're still getting the hang of One for All, so I'm wondering what your plan is." He continued.
"I was thinking of just using my quirk and body and saving One for All as a last resort." The girl responded.
"I want to say that's a bad idea, but given the capabilities of your quirk and how durable you are, I guess that plan suits you." The man mused as he looked out the window. "To be honest. I don't have much time as the symbol of peace. Pretty soon I'll have to put that title to bed." He sighed.
"And villains are starting to notice." Izumi said, recalling how Shigaraki acted back in the USJ.
"Yep, and that's where you come in." All Might told her as he locked eyes with his student. "This Sports Festival, it's something that the pros–no–the country will be watching very closely." He continued. "So I want you to stand tall as my successor and proudly say "I Am Here"!" He added with conviction in his voice.
"Say less." Izumi grinned in reply, popping her neck as she did.
(Later)
As the kids were getting ready to leave the school for the day, they soon found themselves blocked by the appearance of various students in front of 1-A's classroom from the General, Business, Support and Hero course.
"Hey what gives? Are they holding us hostage?!" Mineta complained at the large crowd.
"They're scouting the competition, obviously." Katsuki stated as he started walking towards the crowd, taking Izumi around the waist and pulling her to him. "We won a battle against a horde of villains, so they wanna see if we're the real deal." He continued, leaning his head on his girlfriend's. "Well, now you know what future pros look like. Now move it, extras." He ordered, his eyes subconsciously shifting to their Goddess form.
"Katsuki!." Izumi hissed, elbowing her boyfriend in the ribs for his crass remark.
"What a shame, I was hoping to see what you were about. But you just sound like an ass." Someone in the crowd commented before stepping forward.
Turns out the speaker looked like a mini Aizawa with purple hair and an equally tired look.
"Are all the students in the hero course delusional? Or is it just you?" The boy questioned, causing Katsuki's eye to twitch. "How disappointing to find a class full of egomaniacs. I wanted to join the hero course, but like many others I had to choose a different track. Such is life." He sighed. "Scoping out the competition? Maybe my peers are. But I'm here to say that if you don't bring your best I'll steal your spot if I can impress the teachers enough to get transferred in." He added. "So consider this a declaration of war."
"War, huh?" Izumi mused with a raised eyebrow. "You better have the means to back that up, or you'll fall flat." She told him.
"I'll consider that." The boy responded before walking away.
Katsuki glared at him as he walked by, protectively tightening his grip around Izumi's waist.
"Come on, Izumi." The Pomeranian whispered to his girlfriend, the other students still watching them. "You're walking home with me today." He added.
"HEY!" Someone else in the crowd shouted before a teen with silver hair and pointy teeth similar to Kirishima's made himself known. "My name's Tetsutetsu from Class 1-B next to you! I came here to see if what happened with those villains was true! But you just look like a bunch of brats who think you're better than us!" He yelled.
"Oh shut up!" Izumi snapped in annoyance before she and Katsuki started walking away.
"Hey! You can't just leave now! You gotta say something!" Kirishima exclaimed. "It's your fault they're hating on us, Bakugo!" He added.
"These people's opinions don't matter, Kirishima." The blonde called back, leaning his head on Izumi's. "The only thing that matters is that we beat them." He added as the two left.
"Dammit! I hate that that was such a manly exit!" The redhead cursed.
(Later)
Izumi sighed as she finally pulled back from her boyfriend, the two of them still holding hands as they walked.
"Okay, Kacchan, spill it. Why'd you want me to walk home with you today?" She questioned.
"Well, part of the reason is I want to make sure you get home okay." Her boyfriend replied.
"Okay, that's fair." The giantess shrugged. "Any other reason?" She questioned, only to gasp and moan when he pulled her close again and kissed her neck, sucking on it.
"How's this for an answer?" He growled into her ear as he squeezed her ass.
"H-Here? Now?" She gasped, knowing full well what he wanted to do.
"Just wanna recharge my battery before we have to go on break for two weeks to practice for the festival." He told her as they stopped at an alley not far from the train station.
"B-But someone could s-s-see us!" The earthbender gasped as she felt her lover's hand enter her panties and start rubbing her now leaking pussy.
"Oh don't start with that, we spent our break getting to every inch of each other." The Pomeranian retorted, squeezing her chest through her blazer. "Which means I know all your fetishes. You love the idea of getting caught, just as much as you like it rough. You're a masochistic exhibitionist, and you know it." He growled his middle and ring fingers going into her pussy.
"Curse my fetishes~!" Izumi moaned before she pulled her boyfriend in for a kiss. They kissed ferociously as Katsuki pulled open his girlfriend's uniform, making her kneel in front of him as he undid his belt.
"Let's go, boob and blow job." He told her, snapping his fingers, causing small sparks.
"You got it." The giantess breathed as she unclasped the front of her bra and let her rack bounce free.
Then Katsuki pulled his pants down and let his erection breathe, the hard rod of flesh springing out and smacking the giantess in the face.
"Oh your cock is absolutely divine!" Izumi gasped, hearts in her eyes as she wrapped her breasts around it.
This caused the bearer of Sunshine to groan as he grabbed his precious girlfriend's head and forced her to deepthroat him.
It seemed that unlocking his Goddess heritage came with a few non-combat benefits…
(Timeskip)
Two weeks of non-stop training passed and Class A soon came to the day of the Sports Festival, and were now waiting for things to start. They were all dressed in tracksuits, with Izumi having a sports bra under hers.
"Aw man, I was really looking forward to wearing my costume." Mina whined.
"It's probably to provide a sense of equality." Ojiro commented.
"This is pretty nerve wracking, huh?" Kaminari chuckled.
"Whatever is in store, we must persevere." Tokoyami hummed.
"Everyone! Get your game faces on!" Iida called.
"Swallow your fear. Swallow your fear!" Mineta montraed to himself.
As this was going on, Shoto approached Izumi. He had a piece to give.
"Midoriya." He began, getting her attention along with the others. "From an objective standpoint, I think it's safe to say that both of us are on an even playing field of our own." He told her. "But that will not stop me from doing everything I can to defeat you." He added.
"Okay, though I don't know what brought this on." The giantess responded. "Especially since I'm not the only heavy hitter here." She added, jabbing her thumb at Kirishima, Ochako and Katsuki.
"Yeah. If you wanna declare war, then you'll have to look out for the rest of us." Kirishima told the two toned boy.
"Damn straight." Katsuki added.
(Later)
In the main stadium crowds cheered as Mic and Aizawa announced the arrival of the UA students to the main floor, a process that seemed to peeve the General Studies students who looked jealous of the hero course's apparent popularity.
'Looks like the other classes are jealous. Good.' Izumi noted with a smirk, noticing their jealousy.
She may not like being jealous herself, but she loved seeing others squirm around her like that.
"Are you people ready! Let's get started!" Mic exclaimed as everyone gathered around a main stage, where one of their teachers was there…
That being the Rated R hero:Midnight.
''I will get that figure! … Actually, nevermind. I have a better one already.' Izumi thought enviously before remembering how fit she was.
Not to mention the fact that she had a rack larger than the 18+ Hero.
"Uh, someone should talk to Miss Midnight about what she's wearing." Kirishima said, his face pink.
"Yeah, that costume should come with a warning." Kaminari gulped, flinching when Jiro jabbed at him threateningly with her earphone jacks.
"Is that really appropriate apparel for a high school game?" Tokoyami sighed, Mineta giving a thumbs up.
"... Izumi's hotter, just saying that right now. " Katsuki shrugged.
"Aw, thank you!" His girlfriend chirped with a smile as she leaned into him.
"Silence, everyone!" Midnight exclaimed, waving her flogging whip. "And for the student pledge we have: Katsuki Bakugo!" She added.
"Try not to incite the mob, m'kay babe?" Izumi told her boyfriend.
"You should know me well enough by now." Katsuki chuckled before he went onto the stage.
"That's why I'm telling you." The giantess deadpanned.
"Yeah yeah…" The Pomeranian sighed, walking up to the podium.
"Wait. He's the student rep?" Mineta questioned.
"Guess the hothead did finish first in the exams." Sero shrugged.
"Only in the hero course exams." A general studies student corrected angrily.
"Right…" Izumi mused.
"That girl obviously hates us." Sero whispered.
"And we can thank Bakugo for making them not liking our class." Kaminari added.
"I seriously don't like their attitude." Izumi nodded. "Especially since it seems to me they're just jealous." She added.
"This coming from the Serpent Sin of Envy." Jiro pointed out.
"Pretty sure envy in general is Izumi's specialty." Sato shrugged.
"Exactly." Izumi confirmed.
There was a tense moment of silence as Katsuki took the stage, and immediately–Class A was wishing they'd stayed home the second he opened his mouth.
"I just wanna say: I intend to win this thing." He spoke in a plain, no nonsense tone.
This caused the mob to go into an uproar and Class A to do an in unison facepalm Naked Gun style. Though before the uproar could continue, Katsuki shut them up by pointing a finger to the sky… And made a Cruel Sun the size of a beach ball.
"I decided that." He declared firmly, walking down the stairs as he crushed the star in his palm.
"That was one of the most manly things I've ever seen…!" Kirishima uttered in awe.
"One of the reasons I love him." Izumi chuckled with a smile.
"Without further ado, let's begin the first game!" Midnight called.
"UA doesn't believe in us taking a breath, huh?" Ochako mused.
"This is where you'll begin feeling the pain! Here's the first game!" The R-Rated hero said as the jumbo screen randomized. Seconds later it showed an obstacle course.
"Perfect!" Izumi grinned.
"All classes will be participating in this treacherous race. You'll be running forty kilometers around the stadium." She explained. "I don't want to restrict anyone, at least in this game." She continued, licking her lips. "As long as you don't leave the course. You're free to do whatever your heart desires!" She added.
"Oh, this is gonna be good!" Katsuki said with an eager grin.
"Get ready…!" The woman said as everyone got ready to run, Izumi twirling Gideon and got it ready to wreck shop.
"GO!" Midnight finally yelled, letting the students off their proverbial leashes as they surged forward.
This caused everyone to start cramming into the doorway, Izumi in particular being bounced around to the point where a few students got a little too close to her for her liking… and a few even copped a feel.
"Grrr! FUCK OFF!" She growled before yelling as she used her quirk to give herself some breathing room. Then an idea came to her.
Smirking, she put Gideon on her back and levitated some rocks into the air and used them as an improvised method of flight to get ahead of the crowd.
This was fortuitous as Shoto freezed the hall around them, with only people from a few classes were able to avoid it and try to catch up to them.
"Did Todoroki just freeze the track?!" Present Mic gasped at the development.
"Looks like it." Aizawa nodded.
It was then that Katsuki started blasting himself through the air trying to get past the others.
"Don't think I'm gonna let you get past me! You icy-hot bastard!" He yelled.
"Don't forget about me!" Izumi added as she flew overhead.
"We're not giving up easily!" Momo yelled as she ran.
Seconds later, Mineta came bouncing out of nowhere. "Ha! I've got you while your guard is down! How pathetic Todoroki!" He cackled I'm midair. "Now for my special move! Grape–!" He began before…
WHAM!
Something swatted him out of the air. Looking forward, Izumi's eyes widened when she saw a trio of zero pointers blocking the track!
"Crap!" She yelped as she stopped and hovered mid flight.
"Are those the Zero pointers from the Entrance Exams?!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Seriously? Just how does the school pay for these things?" Momo questioned.
"And there's the obstacles! We can't call this an obstacle race without them!" Present Mic chuckled.
"So this is what the others had to deal with in their entrance exams." Shoto noted with a raised eyebrow. "They obviously went through a lot of trouble but I honestly wish they could have provided something more difficult." He continued as Izumi dropped down and started running towards him, ice gathering around him. "Especially since my dear old dad is watching." He added.
As the giant robots tried to crush him, he dodged and froze them all in some rather weak positions. Izumi noticed this, and took Gideon to smash into her rock ride from earlier at a robot to make it miss her if it fell.
Only problem was, a stray propulsion explosion from Katsuki blew the rock off course and caused it to hit one of the Zero pointers beside the one in front of her and Shoto, causing it to fall and knock the one in front and make it fall forward–right towards her.
"Son of a…" The giantess cursed as she used heavy metal in the split second before impact, covering her face.
Katsuki stopped and looked at where the zero pointer fell in concern for his girlfriend's safety.
"Izumi!" He yelled in panic, about to turn back to try and help.
A moment later, however, the side of it burst open and Izumi walked out. Her tracksuit jacket was shredded to pieces, but her sports bra wasn't, thankfully.
"Alright, that's it." The girl growled as she tore off the scraps of her jacket and hefted Gideon onto her shoulder. "I swear to all that is holy Shoto Todoroki: When I get my hands on you–I'M GONNA WRING YOU'RE FUCKING NECK!" She yelled furiously.
"Looks like someone's unhappy about what happened." Aizawa noted.
"Anyone would be." Present Mic nodded in agreement.
A beat later, Kirishima burst out of the same zero pointer with his quirk.
"I'M ALIVE!" He yelled before Tetsutetsu burst out a moment later.
"Class 1-A really is full of jerks!" The steel boy growled.
"Wow! Kirishima and Tetsutetsu were both under the robots, what're the odds?" Mic noted. "These boys have similar quirks to Midoriya. While she can control earth and turn to steel if standing still, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu can turn into stone and steel respectively. And in Kirishima's case, he can just keep getting harder!" He added.
'That sounded too much like an innuendo.' Izumi noted mentally as she slammed Gideon into the ground and made it ripple like water, allowing her to use the earth to move like Toph Beifong did once upon a time.
Katsuki, breathing a sigh of relief, continued rocketing past the robots with minimal effort. Sero, Tokoyami and a few others were right on his tail.
"I figured you'd just blast through them. I'm impressed!" Sero noted as Mic made comments about them.
"I would, but then this would be boring." Katsuki admitted.
"Fair enough." Tokoyami nodded in agreement. "Let's land, Dark Shadow." He ordered his familiar.
"Got it!" Dark Shadow replied.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile, in the stands, the screens were showing the front runners whilst the teachers kept tabs on everyone. Izumi in particular was making up a fair bit, while also drawing a lot of attention to herself not only due to her quirk–but due to the fact that she was doing so in spite of having her jacket destroyed.
Most of the male demographic present would be lying if they said they didn't find that admirably attractive.
All Might himself saw this and knew they'd be disappointed when they found out she was taken, should any of them try to ask her out on a date. Unlikely due to how few teenagers were in the stands, but still.
"It's not that Class B and the others are doing poorly…" The man noted.
"Class 1-A's learned not to hesitate." Aizawa stated as Jiro and Kaminari spun together back to back, the boy using the same whips from the USJ to shock a one pointer that was trying to broadside Jiro with his quirk and the sound girl doing the same.
The two nodded at each other and kept moving, while Ojiro launched Hagakure into the air over a three pointer, destroyed it with his tail and then caught her in mid air, rolling to the ground and allowing them both to keep running, sharing a high-five.
"They've felt the fear of fighting villains. Learn to trust and cooperate with each other. And they know that's what it will take to stay alive." The erasure hero added as Mina and Kirishima slung shot themselves with Mina's acid slicks to allow the redhead to bulldoze through the bots with his hardening, allowing them to go ahead, unimpeded.
With Izumi, she had managed to catch up to her boyfriend. The two of them looked at each other as they moved and grinned.
"Race ya!" The verdette challenged.
"Ohohohoho, you're on!" The Pomeranian grinned as he chased after her to the next obstacle.

"For those of you who thought the first obstacle was easy…" Mic grinned as he stood up dramatically. "Let's see how you feel about the second one!" He cackled.
The next obstacle was an absurdly deep pit with pillars connected by cables. Izumi could also make out a safety net below.
"Hm…" She hummed before snapping her fingers. Channeling her quirk's power, she started gripping the shaft of Gideon tightly before slamming it into the ground–causing the pillars to start moving around and rearrange them to create a makeshift land bridge.
"Whoa! Holy crap!" The other students exclaimed in shock at what the giantess just did.
"And there she goes! Izumi Midoriya from Class 1-A showing off the incredible capabilities of her truly earth shattering quirk!" Mic exclaimed.
"It's not so much just being her quirk." Eraserhead noted. "Her support item, Sacred Treasure, the Warhammer Gideon. Was specifically crafted so that she can draw out her maximum power without fear of injury." He continued. "Without it, it's doubtful she'd be able to achieve this level of power output without severe strain." He added.
"Okay, now that's cool!" Tetsutetsu grinned.
This race of showings continued until they reached a minefield, and almost immediately, Mineta was the first to be sent flying by an explosion caused by the obstacle.
"Oh for fuck's sake–!" Izumi cursed. "Ochako, lookout!" She yelled as her friend tripped and fell on a mine, sending herself flying.
"WHY ME?!" The gravity girl yelled comically as she flew through the air.
The giantess then began trying to catch up to Shoto the best she could, right as Katsuki came out of left field and went straight for Shoto, grappling with him over the spot of first place.
"Bastard! You picked the wrong fucking day to start dropping robots on people!" He yelled, livid at how his best friend and girlfriend were nearly crushed.
"Oh, have some faith in her! She made it out in one piece, didn't she?!" Shoto reasoned.
"That's not the damn point!" The bomber retorted as the two kept grappling.
As this was going on, the giantess of Class 1-A hatched yet another idea. "Ding dong!" She chimed as she stopped one ground, causing a line of the mines to become visible, and this allowed her to use Gideon as a pogo stick to launch herself on them–soon catching up to Katsuki and Shoto!
"What the–?!" The two boys gasped in surprise at the explosions before Izumi came sailing between them in an upside down position, before she stood on their shoulders.
"Sup, boys?" She asked casually like she hadn't done something crazy. She then raised her hammer. "And–BOOM goes the dynamite!" She exclaimed as she slammed Gideon on the mine right in front of them. Sending them backwards and herself forwards.
Katsuki and Shoto grunted as they were sent flying, the latter of the two having the misfortune to land on another mine and be set back even further.
"Mmchwa! Later guys! See you at the finish line!" The girl grinned, blowing the two a kiss as she kept running.
"Hey! You're not getting rid of me that easily, Izumi!" Katsuki yelled as he tried to use his quirk to catch up, but the force of the mines let Izumi keep flying ahead of him.
"Eraserhead! You're students are amazing! Just what the heck are you teaching them?!" Mic questioned as the kids neared the finish line.
"Honestly, they're teaching themselves, sometimes." Aizawa shrugged in reply.
Meanwhile, Izumi and Katsuki were racing neck at neck. Though as they came to the tunnel, it became apparent that the verdette wouldn't need to move while the pomeranian bomber would. That one second delay would give his girlfriend the win for the race.
"Aw yeah!" The giantess cheered as she came bursting into the stadium.
Up in the stands, All Might couldn't stop smiling, feeling glad that his protégé was showing her potential.
'Seems I didn't have to worry at all.' He thought to himself.
"My, it seems that Midoriya's stock has gone up. Hasn't it?" A voice noted below the Symbol of Peace's spot.
"It has. With a quirk like hers, she's bound to get attention from various agencies." Another voice noted in agreement.
"True. And with her beauty she'll likely be in high demand as well with agencies beyond just hero work." Another added.
These were business course students, they typically just spent their time selling refreshments or running market simulations… They have a lot of free time.
Izumi sighed as she relaxed a bit, her chest jiggling with the action as an exhausted Ochako came up to her.
"Ugh… Congrats on the win…" She groaned, hands on her knees as she tried to catch her breath.
"Thanks, Ochako." The girl giggled as she helped her friend up, patting her back.
Momo panted as she came in the next group, exhausted for some reason… Until said reason was revealed to be Mineta piggybacking on her.
"Two birds with one stone! I am a genius!" He chuckled.
"You are the worst!" She yelled.

After everyone had trickled on in, they all gathered around so Midnight could explain the next event, which was a cavalry battle.
"Aw, a cavalry battle? I'm terrible at those!" Kaminari groaned.
"This should be fun." Izumi chuckled with a grin. It was obvious she was still rearing to go.
"Here you'll all be assigned points based on place numbers in increments of five. You'll gather into four-man teams and try to get the other's headbands." Midnight explained. "You can use your quirks but the rider can't touch the ground. And don't make a team fall over or I'll slap you with a red card." She added.
'Sounds simple enough.' Izumi thought as she listened.
"As mentioned, the value of the headbands will go up depending on your place in the obstacle race. Last place will have five points, forty fourth will have ten and so on." Midnight continued. "First place, however…. Has ten million points!" She added with a grin, causing a record scratch to sound off in the giantess' head.
'Wait… WHAT?!' She thought as everyone turned to look at her, their eyes glowing red as they started locking onto her like a bunch of missiles.
'And there it is: the challenge of staying on top.' All Might sighed.
"Son of a bitch…" Izumi groaned as she facepalmed.
Maybe she should have been a bit more careful with her choices…
Dragon Emperor0: Three episodes in one chapter rather than the standard two. Gotta say, that's probably a decent model for the two part seasons that come after Season 1. Means we'll finish them faster.
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah. This'll probably feel a bit on the annoying side for a while, though, until I get used to it. Anyway, Izumi's obviously not afraid of showing off her skills. Seriously, she rearranged the pillars for the pitfall part of the race and made a land bridge!
Dragon Emperor0: Definitely goes to show how strong this girl is. Also, as you guys may have noticed, Class A's power couples have started forming. We already got KatZumi, and now there's KamiJiro, KiriMina, and OjiToru. And in case any of you think we're moving fast, these ships have been practically confirmed with the nudges we've been getting in the Manga recently. So don't worry. We're just streamlining the process.
ThermalsniperN7: If we didn't then things would get annoyingly slow, and we don't want that. You shouldn't either. Anyway, see you guys next time in the Cavalry Battle!
Dragon Emperor0: See ya! Also, quick PSA: Katsuki only knows about All Might's injury. He doesn't know about OFA yet. That's why he hasn't mentioned it or was with Izumi and All Might this chapter. Just wanted to clarify that.
