Sports Festival 2

{2 weeks later}

"Everyone get you game faces on we're entering the arena soon!" Ida shouted as he walked back into the waiting room.

The sports festival was about to start, everyone could hear the loud cheers of the crowd causing the nervousness of a set few students to peak.

Sitting next to Sero, I took a look at each of my classmates reactions. Some were nervous, some were ready and some just looked like it was just another normal day. Cough Todoroki.

Surprisingly that guy I just name dropped called out to Midoriya, who was doing some sort of breathing technique to calm himself down. Everyone quietened down to listen into their conversation.

"Oh hey Todoroki, what's up" Midoriya murmured.

"For an objective standpoint, I think it's fairly clear that I'm stronger than you" he said in his usual matter-of-fact tone.

"Y-yea" Midoriya whispered displaying to everyone his usual lack of self confidence.

"However you've got All Might in your corner helping you out" this made the freckled boy jump in nervousness. That's something that has been noticed by most of 1-A, the two of them are all ways sneaking off together, even spending lunch and breaks together a lot. If I didn't know better, I'd think there was something dodgy going on between the two of them. First I thought that since they had similar power quirks, All Might was just giving him pointers but at this point it's getting kind of weird.

"I'm not here to pry about what's going on between you two... but know that I will beat you"

What's this all about, doesn't seem like Todoroki has a grudge against him or anything, but saying he'll beat him sounds a bit random. They're stronger people in class than him, like me or Bakugo so the whole thing confused me.

Kirishima came up from behind ice boy and clapped his shoulder saying "What's the big deal man, why're you picking a fight all of a sudden, and right before we get started".

Todoroki slaps his hand away, giving everyone another serious statement "We're not here to be each others friends. Don't forget, this isn't a team effort" as he exited to the main tunnel.

What happened next was unbelievable, Deku actually grew some fucking balls and spoke back to Todoroki. I was shocked even if it didn't show on my face, well until his speech became more self depreciating. That boy needs a confidence boost or something.

Soon after, we were told to move to the tunnel in preparation for the festival's start. Everyone went in once class at a time so it was just 1-A waiting for the signal. Everyone had their school tracksuits on, none of us were allowed to wear our hero costumes since it would give us an unfair advantage.

It never made much sense, since pitting hero course students against the other courses is already unfair. The only ones who really had a shot were the support course, and maybe a few from general studies that had good quirks.

We got the signal to begin walking out, the sounds from the crowds and Present Mic's commentary reverberated around the tunnel. Everything was still muffled so it was nothing compared to the noise when we entered the stadium.

The noise was dialled up to 11, the masses were bouncing in the stands as the fireworks that signalled the beginning of the sports festival boomed in the sky. Present Mic began introducing, using the recent events that involved our class to further the crowds excitement.

Damn this feels weird as hell being in front of so many people, I hope that the Konro and the twins got good seats. Glancing around the stadium, I caught notice of one of seating areas closest to the ground.

Fuck.

In that seating area I saw my worst nightmare. Literally an entire cheering squad made up of the mostly men and women from Asakusa. I only knew that Konro and the girls were coming, should've knew he'd pull something like this.

Do these people not have jobs or something to be at?

After we were announced Present Mic got to introducing the other classes, comparing our introduction to theirs was like night and day. We nearly got a whole paragraph from. the commentator while the others were over and done with in a second.

When everyone had gathered in the centre to the stadium, the pro hero Midnight took centre stage. She was still wearing her mind bogglingly sexy outfit, which drew cheers from the male members of the audience.

In the general studies group a tiny ball hairy boy literally starting crying saying he'd engrave the sight into his eyes forever.

I'll just pretend that never happened.

All jokes aside you'd think Midnight would wear something less provocative for this, but ultimately it's up to her if she enjoys wearing stuff like that who am I to judge.

"Someone should talk to Miss Midnight about what she's wearing." Kirishima said while lightly blushing.

Agreeing with his friend Kaminari added "Yea that costume should come with a warning" something that I had to agree on, that woman's a stunner without the costume, never mind with it.

"Is it really appropriate apparel for a high school game" Tokoyami pointed out. No, no it is not.

Quieting down the rowdy fans Midnight said through the microphone, "And for the student pledge we have Benimaru Shinmon" which made most of my classmates turn to me. Midnight came to tell me about this a few days ago in private, so none of them knew I was meant to be speaking. At first I refused, but then Midnight offered to give me extra lessons in maths which I dearly needed. I can barely make sense of numbers normally never mind when the teachers wearing lingerie, so I accepted under the condition she wears normal clothes while teaching.

Stepping up to the stage with my usual lackadaisical appearance I go to take Midnights position in front of the mic.

As she stepped to the side she shot me a sneaky wink "Give 'em a show" she said from outside the mics range.

Looking down at the many first year students and up and the thousands of people in the stadium I began my speech,

"So... I hope everyone enjoys themselves today" I said dully and got ready to walk back off stage.

Before I could leave Midnight spoke up "Don't you have anything else to say to everyone?"

Rubbing my chin for a second to think I reply "Not really" which made Midnight grow a tick mark on her forehead. She was probably pissed I never put much effort into it, but who care's I'm getting my lessons, their getting a speech they'll forget about in 5 minutes, all I see is a win-win situation.

Leaving the stage I head back to my classmates, leaving the pro hero alone to pick up the pieces.

"That was a real invigorating speech you gave there Shinmon" poked Kaminari

"I know, really put my heart and soul into it" I said with no obvious sarcasm.

Before anyone else could say something about my sentence, Midnight continued on.

"After that... unique speech, it's about time for us to get started!" from behind her a screen appeared that showed the first game of the festival.

'Obstacle Course'

That should be easy enough, I'll just find something to fly on and that'll be that.

After picking the challenge Midnight began to explain the rules.

"I don't want to restrain anyone, at least in this game" she said licking he lips "As long as you don't leave the the course, your free to do whatever your heart desires!"

Then we were moved to the starting point of the race. In front of me was a large set of gates that opened into a small funnel to prevent too many people from getting out. The 100+ students were all tussling for a good starting point, where as I was at the back with plenty of space.

The green lights above our heads began turning off one by one, when the final one was off it signified the start of the course.
