Chapter 8
Galadriel is standing in front of the line. It still amuses her that the first trial of the sports festival is an obstacle race. It's fun when she thinks about it. But then again, this school is weird. Still, Galadriel will do what she can to win it all. She is very competitive. She feels the gaze of a few people, and Galadriel has a good idea of who they are. Perhaps her brief speech did more than she thought. It didn't matter. Still, she would win this.
"We always sing about our freedom on campus, well, this is what it's all about! You're are free to do anything, so long as you remain within the course!" Galadriel nodded, hearing the instructions.
"So let's get ready… On your marks!" All the students went still, waiting for the sign, Galadriel sighs. Thinking about just getting ahead as far as she can to get away from the kids.
"I will just dash away," Galadriel thought.
"And… Start!" Everyone just flew away, pushing each other from their path. The start gate is too narrow and everyone seems to have problems with it. Galadriel is already ahead of everyone, and some students didn't know how she did it. But the class 1-A didn't expect any less from her.
Todoroki is the first one to use his Quirk to move out, freezing everyone and dashing away. Todoroki didn't bother to even look behind. The only thing he could do is to look at the white-haired girl in front of him.
"I can't move!" A student yelled.
"You bastard!" Another one yelled while trying to move his legs.
Todoroki knew that he must do more if he wanted to reach the girl, but then suddenly he heard the voice of someone else. O better yet, of some people.
"I knew you would do this!" Yaoyorozu said.
"You shitty ice bastard!" Bakugo yelled.
"You won't get me this time around!" Mashiro said.
Todoroki is impressed if he is honest with himself. The class didn't fall in his ice. But it didn't matter to him. They are not his goal.
"More people could dodge that, I am surprised about that," Todoroki said.
No one could see that way ahead, Galadriel is already facing giant robots. She tilted her head, not really surprised to see those things again. They even look bigger than before, so a part of her is wondering how this school can build things like this. She will have to look deep into this later on.
Galadriel notices that Todoroki is getting close and that midget with purple hair too. Well, that was until he got a kick out by a robot. Something that made her very happy.
"Here come the obstacles, and so suddenly, and from the very beginning. The first barrier will be a robot inferno!" Present Mic yelled from the speakers. Making the audience go wild. Galadriel sighs, hearing all the excitement around the place. She feels weird, having all those cameras around the place, looking at her. But then again, is a festival.
"Perhaps I should give them something to look at, yeah. Let's make some noise!" Galadriel thought, and with a grin, she pointed at the robot with her finger.
"[Arcane Singularity II]" The people watching her saw a strange blue and black spherical figure shooting from her finger. It trapped the robot inferno, squeezing the metal hard. And soon the giant mechanic entity became a small piece of metal on the ground.
Everyone looks astonished at this. Todoroki, Bakugo, and Midoriya are not the only ones looking directly at her. There is a sense of uneasiness, uncertainty, and dread. Galadriel turns around and smirk. The trio saw the smile on the white-haired girl. Like she is taunting them, teasing them, and showing what she can do. That she just got stronger.
"That… That is the ceiling you want to reach," Galadriel said with a grin.
Then she used [Arcane Dash] and disappears again, leaving behind a group of students in shock. Todoroki quickly got back onto his feet and took up the challenge. My shitty old man is watching, I can't let him think I am weak. And Galadriel, you just wait, I will show you what can I do, Todoroki thought.
He raised his hand, and a blast of ice came underneath him. Freezing one of the giant robots in his path. He will show him he didn't need to use his power to win. Bakugo had the same idea. He had this diabolic smirk and not wasting time he explodes to the front of the rest of the students.
Midoriya seems in his own battle, trying to get in the race without breaking his bone. So far he is doing good, but he realizes that he needs to use his brain if he wants to win.
"1-A Miss Nazarick has moved ahead and left everyone behind! Incredible, she has removed any competition for herself, that's kinda unfair! As expected from the number one student! Let's see how the rest of the students try to catch up!" Present Mic yelled, making the students on the way back growl in frustration. The students in the front, however, look determined to win. Galadriel didn't know what she just started.
While she is jogging rather peacefully, the rest of the students are fighting for their life. Doing everything they can to win. Galadriel is just having the time of her life.
"Ah, jogging a pastime I never had, this sports festival is very good if I may add. I wonder If I could sneak out to eat something. I want to eat some Takoyaki," Galadriel wail in her mind.
"Ah, I forgot that the guardians and everyone else are looking at this right now… Shit," Galadriel whispered.
And it is true, as every single person in Nazarick is watching this, giving their best to support their lady. They even had flags and chants. Is a good thing that Galadriel is not watching them or she would have a heart attack.
Galadriel then saw a strange obstacle before her. She just stares, completely baffled by it. She couldn't even help herself, and suddenly laugh.
"Are they serious about this?" Galadriel said aloud.
"Well then, missy Nazarick is the first one to arrive at the fall! I can't wait to see what is she going to do!" Present Mic yells annoy her.
Galadriel saw that the rest is catching up with her, so she cheated more. Is not like it matters at the end of things, she is already way ahead of everyone, so this will not change a thing. Still, she wanted to make an impression. A big impression.
"[Fly]" She flew, and everyone looks at her in awe and surprise.
"She… She is flying, ladies and gentlemen! The most popular girl is showing us the capabilities of her Quirk! She posses the capabilities to bend the world at her will! She is a physic bender!" Everyone in the stadium yells in surprise and excitement. The pro-heroes and their agencies are looking with shining eyes at the girl before them.
"Flying like a beautiful angel in the sky! With wings of hope and liberty! Galadriel Nazarick, the hero that everyone is talking about! The future number one hero, perhaps! And the most beautiful girl in the school!" Galadriel is covering her face, embarrassed about everything he said. She wanted to roll over and die.
"Uwa, please let me finish this! I can't handle the embarrassment! They even call me an angel! I am completely the opposite of an angel, for god's sake!" Galadriel thought.
"Look at my babies!" Galadriel saw a girl with strange hair screaming crazy things from far away. Galadriel is already approaching the last stage of the race. So she could look behind and see what is going on with the rest of the students.
"Is she… What?" Galadriel said.
The girl with salmon pink hair screamed things and speaking about babies and such. So Galadriel decided to just leave them be. Kids in this world are crazy.
"Oh, look at him go! The son of the flame hero Endeavor!" Galadriel saw how Todoroki didn't seem to slow down and keep the chase for the first stop. Although it is impossible since Galadriel is just too far away, and everyone knew it. Still, she looks at him with amazement. The bomb kid, and the breaking my bones everything I open my eyes kid. Is also getting closer to her.
"Those three are… Interesting," Galadriel said with a smirk.
Back in the stadium, everyone is just looking with interest at the girl in the first place. Everyone is in awe at the girl's ability, and since the speech, she gave at the start of the sports festival. Many people are looking at her with keen enthusiasm. One of those people is Endeavor. A part of him knows that this is the best scenario for him, a rival to his son. Someone who can push him to the edge, so he could finally accept who he is. And the other part, he is already looking for ways to contact the Nazarick family.
Surely, they could see the benefits of the possibility of their children marrying. How powerful their descendants could be, a new generation of top heroes in the making. Together they could bring a new age, and Endeavor will do what he has to achieve that. Even if he has to call some favors.
Galadriel just flies over the minefield ahead of her. Very anti-climatic, but she had a lot of time to spare. Time she spent watching the rest.
Bakugo screams in rage, watching the white-haired girl so far ahead of him. With rage, he pushed himself forward and getting just close enough of Todoroki. The half-burned face glared at him, and neither of them wanted to be behind the other. So they push forward to the minefield.
"You think you can just declare war with anyone? I will beat you, then I will beat Deku, and then I will beat that white-haired girl!" Bakugo yelled.
Todoroki said nothing, only stared at him. Surprise and amuse. But he knows that he is speaking the truth. They took extra care to move out in the minefield. While pushing each other out of their way. The rest of the students didn't have much luck with the minefield. And soon the explosions fill the place.
They didn't see how Midoriya quickly thought of an idea, a risky and funny idea. Grabbing a piece of metal, he throws it to the ground. Generating an explosion that pushes him to the front of the line. Todoroki and Bakugo stared in astonishment as Midoriya flew over them. Everyone in the stadium went crazy at the first-year action. Midoriya won't disappoint All Might. They will not leave behind him. Todoroki, Bakugo, and Midoriya are the only ones close enough to the finishing line. Close enough to win. Bakugo growls loudly, looking at his childhood friend ahead of him. Todoroki only looks at both of them, trying to keep up the pace. The trio is pushing each other to the edge; they didn't see how Galadriel is looking at them from the finish line. The girl is staring at them with a smirk.
Galadriel already crossed the line and won, but she like everyone else. Is looking at the rest of the students.
"Deku! Don't you dare go ahead of me!" Bakugo yelled.
Midoriya didn't answer, just glared at him. He didn't have the time to speak. Todoroki saw that both of them moved faster than him. So with little choice, he used ice to create a path for him. This will open a path for everyone else, but I have no choice! Todoroki thought.
Midoriya only had one more opportunity and, again. He slams the chunk of metal on the ground, creating yet again, another explosion. Midoriya didn't have another choice, since this is the only way for him to keep going without using One For All. And breaking his bones, something he wants to avoid as much he can. For now, at least.
Bakugo and Todoroki growled as Midoriya flew over the finishing line. Everyone in the stadium yelled in excitement, as both of them arrived just a few seconds later. Much to their anger and frustration, Galadriel is standing before them with a smirk on her face. Looking at them with nothing but amusement and a bit of superiority. Galadriel will lie if this does not please her. This is becoming a fun day. She is enjoying making them feel low, by just standing there with a bored look on her face.
"That took the three of you a lot of time," Galadriel said with a grin on her face.
"Shut up, bitch!" Bakugo hissed.
"Number 4, speak louder, I can't hear you from down there," Galadriel said, with a big smile on her face. Bakugo has this look on his face. Like he is about to have an aneurysm.
"Everyone look at the winner of the race! The first place, Galadriel Nazarick!" Galadriel smiled and waved cutely at the surrounding people. She took every opportunity to look at the cameras, winking, and such. It is embarrassing. But she had to do it.
"Following the second place, Midoriya Izuku!" Midoriya looks around in shock, as he is trying to understand what is going on.
"Third place is Todoroki Shoto, and fourth place is Bakugo Katsuki!" Neither of them looks pleased with all.
All Might sighs with a smile, looking content with the score of young Midoriya. The second place is not bad at all! All Might thought with glee.
"I lost again?! Shit, fucking goddammit!" Bakugo hissed in fury.
Todoroki said nothing, only stared at the girl with a stoic face. The rest of the students arrived, and many of them look out of breath. Ochako looks ready to faint, but she looks happy that Midoriya got second place. Tenya looks depressed, thinking that with his Quirk. He didn't arrive sooner.
Galadriel saw how poor Yaoyorozu had to carry the purple midget around. She will pray for her, and her soul.
"Now these are the standings!" Midnight says with a grin on her face. Making everyone look at the giant screen above them.
"The 42 at the top earned the right to advance to the next trial! I'm sorry for the kids who failed, but don't worry! This is not over for you!" Midnight said with the best sincere voice she could.
"And now for the post-preliminaries, the final selection!" Galadriel looks with interest at the giant screen, trying to think about what the next test would be.
"Now then, onto today's next challenge! What could it be?! Well, I'll tell you! It's… Human cavalry battle!" Midnight exclaims with devotion.
"Ah… This is a school," Galadriel mumble.
"Human cavalry? That's not masculine at all… I hoped for something better than this," Kirishima said, feeling disappointing suddenly. He is not the only one thinking the same, and many of the students are thinking something between the line. This is a strange challenge.
"But that's not a game that works with players playing as individuals. How will it work? Kero," Tsuyu said, tilting her head.
"Everyone will receive points based on their performance in the last trial!" Midnight said.
The rest of the students didn't pay attention to her and talked with each other. Bringing up theories about how this challenge will take form. And how it will work. That didn't settle well with the pro-hero, who looks embarrassed about being ignored.
"Don't say what I was going to say before I can!" She yelled.
"But yes, that's right! The number of points you're worth will be 5 points if you place 42nd. 10 if you placed 41st, and so on! Well, except for the number one, whose head is worth ten million points!" Everyone gasps, looking at the white-haired girl in surprise.
Galadriel tilted her head, looking middle impress about how much she is worth. An obvious strategy to make her the target in this challenge. She smiled, looking at every student there.
"Well, if any of you want to be number one… This is your chance to prove it," Galadriel said with a big smile.
Midnight looks sad again since she wanted to say something like that. But it is too late for it. Still, she had something to say.
"Those who reach the top merely encounter fresh new hardships. And the kids who have enrolled here will hear it countless times: Plus Ultra!" She said finally at peace.
The students look at Galadriel like she is fresh meat. She didn't look a one-bit scared, she just smiled at them. Not feeling the need to use her own aura.
"Now, listen to the instructions! The time limit is 15 minutes and the point of value of each group headband is worth the accumulation of each of the warhorse's members. Don't forget it! Try to gather as many as you can and don't worry if your headband gets stolen or if your horse crumbles, you are still not out of the game!" Midnight said.
Everyone didn't waste time to assemble their warhorse. Funnily enough, none seem interested in joining her. Galadriel understood why. She is the major target. Now that she thinks about it, Galadriel didn't see the point of her trying to get any point. She only needs to run away for 15 minutes.
Galadriel wanted to ask Ashido if she wanted to be in her team, but Pinky told her she needs to show her strength. She wants to win, and Galadriel respected that. Still, she needs to find a team fast. Someone she could trust enough to follow her direction.
Galadriel didn't see anyone willing to join her. Thankfully, she can see Midoriya and the girl who pukes a lot talking with each other. Midoriya seems happy that someone can join him. So following this. Galadriel approach both of them. She didn't know much about this Ochako girl, a part of her Quirk. But she seems to get along just fine with Midoriya.
"Midoriya," Galadriel called.
"Galadriel?" He said confuse.
"Uraraka it seems that the both of you are together," Galadriel said without realizing how poorly worded it was.
"Together?!" Both of them exclaimed while blushing. Galadriel didn't understand why they were acting this way, but she ignored it.
"Yes, you know… As in a team," Galadriel replied.
"Ah, well yes! That… We are a team!" Uraraka said nervously.
"You don't have a team, Galadriel?" Midoriya asked.
"No, I do not. They are looking to take me, so is not good to make a team with the target of the challenge I guess," Galadriel said.
"I see… You, you can join us!" Uraraka said, surprising Galadriel.
"Just like I said to Midoriya, I rather team up with people I'm friends with!" She said.
"I see, thank you, Uraraka," Galadriel whispered.
"Still, we need another person," Midoriya said, looking around, and he saw how Tenya already had his team. He wanted to ask him about it if he could join him. But is now too late.
"Fufufu, you sure stand out from the rest of the students… Very interesting!" A girl with strange pink-haired approached them, looking intensely at Galadriel. She had a strange pair of goggles and a huge grin on her face.
"Let's team up, Mrs, first place!" She said.
"And who are you?" Galadriel asks, looking intrigued at the girl before her.
"I'm Hatsume Mei of the department of support! I don't know you, but I'd like to use your position to show up my babies!" Mei said with little care.
"Wow, you're very honest," Uraraka said.
"If I join you, the amount of attention I'd receive would be unparalleled, no?! This is a golden opportunity for me to show everyone what can I do!" Mei said, making Galadriel smile.
"You are aiming to bring the attention of big companies for your toys, don't you?" Galadriel said smiling.
"Yes! And you are the daughter of the biggest agency in the world, surely you can see why I am joining you! Perhaps in the future, I will work for you! So, consider this my job application!" Mei said with shining eyes.
"Well, she is surely honest. Mm, well, for what I can see she can be of some use. Yeah, I will take her in if she proves worthy," Galadriel thought.
"Well, welcome in!" Galadriel said.
"Your babies? What do you mean, babies?" Uraraka said baffled.
"Fufufu, In the department of support, we create equipment that makes heroes Quirk easier to use! My baby's numbers are many, and there's bound to be one that suits you, I should think!" Mei said, showing up many of her babies.
It surprises Galadriel to see someone capable of making things like this at her age. Perhaps taking her under her wing will be an excellent investment. She will have Demiurge monitoring her. Midoriya looks amazed by one of Mei's babies. A jetpack of sorts. He talked about a hero that uses a similar one. And Galadriel rolled her eyes when she heard him talk about him.
"I would like to know more about your Quirk, Miss first place!" Mei said, approaching her with eyes full of wonder.
"Really?" Galadriel replied silkily.
"Yes, who wouldn't?! Someone capable of controlling reality itself?! The things I could make if I know more about you! Would you like to come to my laboratory later on?! I want to see what can we do together!" Mei said.
"I will think about it, but promise me you will not strip me naked," Galadriel said in a flirting voice.
"I will promise that! Well, unless is necessary!" Mei said with shining eyes.
Midoriya is blushing, and so is Uraraka. Galadriel is only having fun, but she is enjoying the sight of the two of them. Mei didn't seem to realize the tone she used. Proving that she is only thinking about building things.
"Get ready everyone, the challenge is about to begin!" Midnight said.
"Now raise up your war-cries and fire the signal!" She announced, preparing the signal.
Galadriel felt weird standing up. She has never played this before. Not even back in her old world. This something new to her. With Mei and Uraraka holding each one of her legs and Midoriya being in the front. She is sure that this is going to be an easy game.
"I hope I am not too heavy, Midoriya," Galadriel said with a smirk.
"N-No, you are not that heavy!" Midoriya said, and Galadriel almost faces palm. Uraraka hissed something about not saying something like that to a girl. And even Mei told him the same, although with a smile on her face.
"Midoriya, do you think I am fat?" Galadriel said, scandalized.
"No! I didn't want to sound like it! I just… You have, they are…. Big!" Midoriya said, not realizing what he saying. Uraraka wanted to roll over and die. Mei is having the time of her life laughing at the poor kid. And Galadriel only smirked, enjoying this.
"Are you talking about my chest size?" Galadriel asked with an innocent voice.
Midoriya said nothing, smart man. Galadriel ruffles Midoriya's wild hair. She didn't know why, but she did. Something about him being so naïve and shy. Makes Galadriel want to tease him more. She forgot that Nazarick is watching her, and it is not a good thing.
"It's okay, Midoriya, I will forgive you for talking about my boobs if we win," Galadriel said, and Midoriya only nodded furiously.
"Everyone ready?! And go!" Midnight yelled, begging the cavalry battle.
Every single student had the same idea, and it is to get Galadriel's headband. She expected as much, so she didn't seem to surprise at the sudden attack.
"They are coming!" Midoriya yelled, looking afraid at the sudden attack. Uraraka let a big squeal of surprise. Meanwhile, Mei laughs. Galadriel notices that one of them is trying to trap them, by using his Quirk to make the earth swallow them.
"We are sinking!" Uraraka yelled.
"Galadriel, what can we do?!" Midoriya yelled.
"[Arcane expansion force]" Galadriel spell took everyone by surprise. Pushing all of them away. She didn't want to kill anyone by accident. So she will only use skills that will help her escape.
"Now, all of you hold tight!" Galadriel said.
"[Arcane Mass Teleportation]" The students saw how swiftly they fade away. The students outside of the class 1-A didn't even know what is going on. But Galadriel's classroom is looking around to see where she is. Some pro-heroes are in awe.
"Where did she go?!" One student yelled.
"I… Look there!" Ashido yelled, pointing at the group far away from everyone.
They saw Galadriel and the rest, a few meters away from everyone. Uraraka had this look of confusion, while Mei looks like she is having a brainstorm. Thinking about what she could create using the white-haired girl's abilities. Midoriya looks nervous but confident that everything will be alright. If there is someone who can do something against all of them, that someone is Galadriel. The demon empress had a big grin on her face, enjoying every minute of this.
"My, my, it seems that they will do whatever it takes to take me on, what do you think, Midoriya?" Galadriel said.
Galadriel will defeat all of them and prove to them that is not a good idea to challenge her. This is just the beginning.
