10 The essence of a hero
After my speech, Midnight started to talk about the first event of the festival, which is a race around the stadium.
All the students were at the exit of the stadium and everyone was ready to run and Midnight gave the signal.
Midnight:Start!!!
At the same moment, everyone started running like desperate people, like a bunch of fanboys going to see their famous idol.
💭My God, why so much mess?
While I'm stuck with a bunch of crazy students, Shoto decides to turn on the air conditioning and freeze the entire exit.
Saito:Todoroki you fagot! Want to make us popsicles?!
Todoroki: I'm sorry.
Saito:Apologize when you take the ice off you asshole!!!
The vast majority of students have frozen feet and I'm the same, but Momo, Ayoma, Kirishima and Bakugou passed without any problems.
Saito: Tch, what a pain.
I take my foot off the ice and start running, but stepping hard on the ice, making the ice break around me, this helped the others to be able to walk. While I'm running I see Mina slipping on the ice, and the moment she falls on her butt on the ice I catch her before that happens.
Mina:S-Saito-kun?!
Saito: Be careful where you step Mina.
Mina looks red and has her arms crossed, not making contact with me and she is pouting.
Mine: I know that.
Saito: So next time don't try using your acid on ice, you don't want to hurt your butt, do you?
Mina:Baka!
💭Cute....
As I am breaking the ice around me the ground is now no longer iced. On the way I see Mineta getting hit by a robot going to the side and I see that they are the same big robots in the admission test.
Mina:Not them again!
Saito:Them again?
Moments later Todoroki uses his Elsa power and he easily freezes the robot.
Saito:If Todoroki sings like Elsa, I'll laugh a lot.
Mina:Who is Elsa?
Saito: Someone who has a boring song and yet there are people who like it.
Mine:?
I put Mina down and I see the robot falling to the ground.
Saito: Not today Shoto.
I stop the robot before it falls to the ground and throw it away using my telikinesis.
Saito:All of you can pass!
I start to float and pick up each robot and throw them out, but I tear off a piece of the robot and throw it near Izuku who is a little scared to see what I did.
Izuku:Brother?!
Saito:Izuku uses this to pass other tests! Take it from me, you'll need it.
Izuku: And you?
Saito:Don't worry about me, just go!
With that, Izuku and the other students continued without experiencing any problems with the robots.
Some of the students from class B looked at me wondering why I was helping the students behind instead of continuing the journey.
Saito:Come on, let's go! I deal with the robots!
**************
Narrator's view
In the view of the public and the pro heroes they are seeing Saito Midoriya using goddess psychic powers to help the other students pass through the barriers.
When they reach the tightrope barrier Saito levitates all the students who don't have the quirk to pass easily and transports them to the end of the barrier.
The heroes who are watching are surprised by this attitude.
Pro hero: That boy. Wasn't he the one who passed the admission test?
Pro hero:Yes, he is also the boy who gave that speech representing his class.
Pro hero:I can't understand why he is helping the other students?
All Might 💭Young Saito what are you....
It was then that the number 1 hero remembered what Saito said in his speech and he couldn't help but let out a sigh and a smile afterwards.
All Might: Hehehe. You are truly a unique boy.
**************
Last barrier: Minefield
Saito and the others arrived at a minefield and Saito saw some students already stepping on the mines and going into the air.
Saito *sigh*: Be careful where you step.
Saito who is levitating started to rescue all the students who are stepping on the mines and he helps each one get back into the race.
Present mic:Wow! Once again Saito Midoriya is helping the other students, but how noble! Aizawa-Sensei, what do you have to say to your student.
Aizawa:I have nothing to say. Midoriya only does what he wants, among all my students he is the only one who acts different from the others.
While Saito is helping the students he saw that Mineta was going to cling to Momo, but he catches Mineta before he catches Momo.
Mineta:Saito?!
Saito:Not today Mineta.
Saito said this by placing the boy in a nearby mine causing him to fly away.
Mineta:You traitor!!!!
Momo:Thank you very much Saito-san.
Saito:You are welcome.
Bakugou managed to catch up to Shoto and Saito hears Present mic saying that Izuku surpassed Bakugou and Todoroki.
Saito *smile*:He did it.
Saito didn't let the explosion hit the others so he made a psychic barrier protecting everyone.
Seconds later he heard Present mic saying that Izuku arrived first at the stadium and Bakugou and Shoto also arrived.
*****************
Minutes later
With the end of the activity, the other students are arriving one by one inside the stadium until the required number of students arrived at the stadium, but a student that no one expected arrived in last place.
Midnight:Huh? Aren't you Saito?
Midnight, who is at the finish line, saw Saito Midoriya walking towards the finish line.
Saito: Yes, it's me.
Midnight: Well dear, I'm afraid to say this, but you won't be able to participate in the next activity.
To Midnight's surprise she didn't notice any change in Saito's expression, it seems he is satisfied with what he heard.
Saito:Can I at least watch the activities?
Midnight:You can if you want.
Saito: Then that's enough for me.
The heroine sees Saito entering the stadium heading towards where he can get snacks, she also notices the students from class A seeing Saito going inside alone.
But unknown to everyone Aizawa is looking at Saito and decided to talk to him.
*************
Aizawa's vision
I decide to take advantage of Midnight explaining the next activity to talk to Midoriya's older brother.
When I found him I saw him going to the stands with a big bucket of popcorn in his hands, he was surprised to see me.
Saito:Oh? Aizawa-Sensei, what are you doing here? It was for you with the present Mic.
Aizawa:I came here to talk to you. Present Mic can wait.
Saito: Okay? What do you want to talk?
Aizawa: You did that on purpose, didn't you?
Saito:What?
Aizawa: Don't act stupid, you gave that speech on purpose to make everyone mad at you only and not in your class. You decided to stay behind and on top of that we have all the students inside the stadium, only you stayed behind because of you, we have many students who have one more chance to go through this festival. That said, I ask you what your intention is? Because I know very well that you could win this festival without any problem.
When I said all this Saito was silent and after a few seconds he looked at me with a serious expression.
Saito: I don't want to get in their way.
Aizawa:What?
Saito: If I participate in this festival, they won't have a chance against me, they won't be able to have their chance. I wasn't lying in my speech, I really don't want to do this festival and they could go ahead of me, I just stuck to my word. The most I can do is watch their progress.
He said that and I'm surprised to hear his reason for doing what he did. Having information about what I wanted I start walking to get back to where Present mic is.
Aizawa: Saito.
Saito:Yes?
Aizawa: One thing I haven't said about you yet. You have the essence of a real hero, see if you don't lose that.
I finish saying this and see him looking at me with a surprised expression.
💭He really is a unique student.
End of Ep.....
