24 Chapter 21

TITLE: Sports festival (1) – Women

Sora walked into the living room and noticed his mom was on the dining table.

Sora was surprised as she rarely sat at the dining table, but anytime she did, it meant she wanted to discuss something important with someone.

"Sora come sit down"

Immediately, Sora realized, she had gotten word of the festival beginning in 2 weeks. He obediently headed to the seat closest to him as he sat opposite her.

Seeing her serious face, Sora began sweating buckets as he thought 'did she find out my secret? Did Shawn expose me? That bastard, I thought we were best friends. Damn, it's over, she's going to kill me with scolding, damn who would've thought, I'll die an unreasonable death yet again'

"Sora Light throne Menhera"

'Wtf, that ain't my name' "Yes ma'am" he answered immediately.

"I heard the sports festival is beginning in 2 weeks is that true"

"Ummm…well" Aiko immediately opened her eyes and Sora continued "yes ma'am, it will be this time next week" 'fuck those eyes are scary'

"And what is your goal in the festival?"

"I don't really care about it" Sora answered but immediately regretted it, as a sinister smile appeared on his mom's face, the room's temperature dropped to 0 degrees Celsius.

"So-chan?"

"Yes mommy"

"You'll take first place in the festival right?" Aiko asked with a smile on but Sora seemed to understand the meaning of the smile as he answered

"Yes, I'll take first place"

"If you don't, you know what will happen right?"

"Yes mommy"

"Good. But if you're unable to… it's been a long since I did a garage sale and lately, I've been thinking of adding cat meat to the menu"

"You monster," Sora said almost in a whisper

"Did you say anything?"

"Me? Of course not! Don't worry I'll take first place no problemo"

"That's good to hear, you can go"

"Thanks for your kindness, ma'am"

Sora stood up and headed to his room. As he walked he made sure to make no sound until he finally arrived at his room.

Immediately, he slumped on his bed as he cursed:

"FUCK! Women are so scary! She's a monster… I'm sure of it!" He couldn't get the scene out of his mind as he continued "Haaa… cook my cute little Mochi just because I didn't take first place, like WTF!? Selling my computer, laptop, and tablet just because I wasn't first, that's just an exaggeration! Damn and here I thought I was lucky, lucky my ass! Haaa… anyway, to the problem at hand"

He sat upright as he began thinking 'the U.A sports festival, the starting point for anyone who wants to go pro, heroes from all over Japan will be watching, and only those who can stand out will be chosen by the best. Haaa, with my quirk it's a guarantee that I'll stand out but that's the problem, if I stand out too much then… I don't wanna think about it. Welp no need thinking about all this, my goal in the festival is to get first place and that's all that matters right now' he shifted his gaze to his computer and smiled as he thought 'let the training begin'

---- Training montage ----

All the students were training, each pushing themselves past their limits as they made full use of the facilities given to them.

2 WEEKS LATER,

A certain boy could be seen seated before a computer, he had dark circles under his eyes and a bed sheet covering him, he was holding a controller as he moved the analog fiercely while also pressing the buttons present (R, O, L, etc.)

Soon he kept the controller down as he shouted

"I DID IT!!"

This was of course Sora Menhera. For the past days, he had been playing a Final Fantasy game and had completely ignored sleep as he immersed himself into it and finally he had done it, he had finished the story.

He felt unimaginable joy as he had beaten his record, finishing a game in 2 weeks that was nothing to scoff at.

He was smiling but it soon got replaced by a frown as he looked at the calendar, then the time and his expression changed to that of shock, as he stood up and said

"Holy shit! The sports festival is today, I'm gonna be late"

Immediately he entered the toilet to freshen up, and as soon as he did, his three personas appeared.

Fujin looked at Saru and Sylph before saying

{This bastard has been gaming for 2 weeks while others have been training, did he lose his mind}

A sigh escaped Saru's mouth as he said

{Well it's over, master is going to die. I think we should prepare his grave}

Tears filled Sylph's eye as she said

{Nooooooooo hubby}

{He lived a good life} Fujin said as he put his hands together as though offering a prayer, he looked at the toilet door and said {Rest In Peace}

{Amen} Saru and Sylph said as they also put their hands together. Sora was completely unaware of this as he hurriedly took a bath.

…

In the class 1A waiting room,

The students were discussing with each other as they awaited the festival to begin.

They were in a pretty good mood as they kept speaking about how everyone was here for them and how they'll do their best, but not everyone was in a good mood.

Hana had a frown on her face as her gaze kept shifting from place-to-place

'Where's he?" She questioned herself as she kept looking, it was clear she was looking for Sora but he was no were to be seen.

Bakugo noticed her gaze and wondered what it was up about but when he noticed there was no one putting his head on the table, he shouted:

"WHERE'S THAT WINDY ASS BASTARD"

Hearing this, everyone realized Sora was missing and many began asking questions

"Where's Menhera?"

"Huh, Menhera isn't here yet?"

Noise filled the hall but before they could start searching, an announcement sounded in their room, informing them to head to the stadium. They stopped what they were doing and immediately headed out, but none was at ease.

…

"…THE HERO COURSE STUDENTS OF CLASS 1A!!!"

Immediately, out of one of the many openings present, the class 1A students walked out, and immediately, the stadium grew louder as the spectators cheered.

"Wow so many people"

"Where the heck is Menhera, he's missing the good part"

After that, President Mic. Began announcing the other classes but the cheers weren't as loud, which the students feel like extras (just as Bakugo said).

When everyone had finally gathered in the middle of the stadium, a woman stood on the podium. She had long blue hair reaching her waist and wore tight-fitting clothes that highlighted her curves, and held a whip in hand. This was the R-rated hero, Midnight.

"Now for the introductory speech"

The men in the crowd were fawning over her while the women could only look at her in envy, the male students were also gobsmacked as some said

"Someone should warn Mrs. Midnight about what she's wearing"

"Yeah"

"SILENCE everyone, and for the student's pledge we have Sora Menhera"

Everyone turned their eyes to class 1A, and they immediately turned their heads away. Midnight noticing something strange said:

"Is student Sora Menhera not present?"

But then she heard a voice come from behind her saying "please step back a little, miss" immediately she took a step back and a tornado began forming before the mic as a gust of wind pushed some students back until it finally calmed down and Sora stood before the mic.

He smiled and said

"Yo"
