14 Sports festival 2: The Demon's Paintball part 1

All the remaining students after the race approached Director Nezu to hear about what the next part will be like.

There was quite a bit of nervousness among the students, after all the one who would choose the second test would be Director Nezu personally, which could be very complex.

"Well, the next test is a fairly simple and exciting game, Paintball!!" Director Nezu said in an adorable and direct manner, taking the students by surprise.

"Heroic Paintball to be exact, let me explain the rules" Director Nezu said with a big smile making everyone pay attention to him.

"There will be three teams and each one will consist of 10 members, you can use their quirks and what you have to do is survive until there are only 16 students left" Director Nezu said with a smile as usual and making everyone understand quickly.

'I see, this one seems easier' Doryoku thought, letting out a sigh of relief at the difficulty of the second part.

Or at least this was until Doryoku remembered a small detail.

'Wait, not that we were 31-' Doryoku thought somewhat confused as he was cut off by the Director.

"Of course the first place is special, so he will have to play completely alone in addition to having some extras and if someone eliminates him his team will go directly to the finals" said the Director Nezu with a big excited smile and a little creepy.

All the students around already knew what they had to do to win, while Doryoku well...

'Son of-!' Doryoku thought with quite annoyance and in shock to see that the director Nezu turned everything against him.

'We already know that he has a talent to be a hero, it's time to measure how far that talent goes' thought director Nezu with an excited and quite expectant smile.

"Sorry friend, it was nice meeting you" said Oboro patting Doryoku on the back with a sad and dramatic tone.

Doryoku had a vein on his forehead although he mostly looked a bit concerned, but still he was determined for the next test.

There were three teams, the green-colored ones with Oboro, Aizawa and Hizashi, the blue ones led by a pink-haired girl and the yellow ones led by an intimidating-looking boy with white hair and red eyes.

And finally Doryoku, in a white suit and a black bullet paintball gun in addition to his mask like everyone else.

"Not even my own bullets can touch me, it would be best to run away" Doryoku said with blank eyes as he thought of some satisfactory way to get away from everyone.

Or at least that was until Director Nezu handed him a white backpack as well.

"Suzuki-san, you have to carry this backpack along with this bracelet" Director Nezu said giving him a backpack as well as a bracelet with a small screen on it.

"It's a joke, right?" Doryoku asked in shock to see that they were giving him even more things.

"You have to take care of this stuffed animal, if you are too rough with your movements or if it suffers any damage the bracelet will warn you and if the score reaches 100 you will be disqualified" said the director Nezu smiling innocently while giving both things to Doryoku.

'This is already bordering on ridiculous' Doryoku thought even more in shock as he took the teddy bear and put it safely in the backpack on his back.

In the distance Last laser saw the whole situation understanding the idea of ​​the director Nezu.

'Every year is the same, have a strong quirk and you will win the first part, but also in the second part we always seek to bring the children down from the clouds and show them how unfair the world can be' Last laser thought seriously while he was seeing Director Nezu and Doryoku.

'But do you really think he can survive this?' Last laser asked himself when he saw all the difficulties that the director gave Doryoku.

Unconscious to him, Director Nezu wasn't sure of Doryoku's victory either, but he was sure that if there was any time to see the boy's full potential it was right now, so he would test it in every way possible now.

This was not only a disadvantage for Doryoku but also a form of training to see if he could use his quirk to save and defend others effectively, after all that was the most important thing for a hero.

The area was quickly prepared with various figures, from pyramids to inflatable cubes for cover and everyone was ready with their weapons and costumes for the second part.

Each team moved away to a different end of the area while Doryoku was alone in the center of the area sitting next to a cover to hide and trying to calm down and think of some way to get out of it.

'Just running, surviving and causing clashes between teams, that's the only thing I can think of' Doryoku thought with a bit of nervousness at the current situation.

Doryoku turned his quirk back on and tried to calm down to get as much control as possible and avoid overheating.

"Get ready for the second part of the sports festival!" Director Nezu said excitedly from a safe place off the field.

"This is going to be ugly" Doryoku said quite tense and getting ready for everything as his gun pointed down and secured his backpack.

The atmosphere was tense, both for the spectators and the students, until the director said...

"Let the war begins!" Director Nezu said with a big smile starting everything.

—With Oboro—

"Hey Shirakumo, do you have any idea of how to catch Suzuki?" Aizawa asked curiously along with Oboro and Hizashi and trying to come up with a plan of action.

The three friends separated from the rest quickly to cover more area and have a better chance of winning.

When forming the team it was an instant decision to choose Aizawa as captain, after all he was the smartest and calmest of the three.

They all had masks covering their faces along with the green suit, but the color of their hair made them easy to recognize as they covered themselves up and kept an eye out for any surprise attacks.

"Think like Doryoku huh?" said Oboro seriously as he took a thoughtful and deep pose, but obviously not achieving anything.

Hizashi and Aizawa had a bead of sweat on the back of their heads at this, so they decided to find another way.

"The best thing is to eliminate other participants to get the victory and wait, at least until we find Suzuki" Aizawa said with a tired sigh as he looked around cautiously.

"I'm sure Doryoku will be careful as always and he will be very difficult to find or face, let's go for the others, I doubt it will be very difficult" said Oboro with a proud and confident smile as he stepped out of his cover to take a look.

And that trust lasted until a bullet of yellow paint smashed right in front of him causing him to freeze for a second.

"There are some, let's get them!" said that boy with white hair and red eyes seriously along with his group of 5 people all dressed in yellow.

"Run!!" Hizashi said aloud and altered, escaping tactically along with his companions.

Oboro for his part formed a cloud behind them as cover as they quickly escaped from everyone.

"So it'll be easy huh? I need a space to shoot" Aizawa said with a vein on his forehead as he escaped from the contestants along with Oboro and Hizashi.

Aizawa turned around and Oboro made a small hole in his cloud wall to let him shoot.

Right at that moment, a gray haired boy planned to use his wind quirk to launch a projectile through said hole, but Aizawa used his quirk erasing it for a moment, taking him by surprise and shooting him out of the game.

"Nice shot Aizawa!" Oboro said with a big smile as he too opened a hole in his cloud and fired instantly leaving another one out of the game.

Hizashi for his part stayed in front while he covered also quite excited about the competition.

"A great show!! Look at that teamwork, that is only possible with a good group of friends!!" High command said, commenting on the facts with great emotion.

The crowd quite enjoyed the competition, some even tried to help the students, but the tension they had made them ignore them most of the time.

Suddenly an explosion was heard behind the group of friends and everyone could see Doryoku who was about 10 meters above their heads.

"There he is! Let's for him!" Hizashi said quite excited as he pointed at Doryoku and everyone ran towards him.

Doryoku looked down analyzing the situation and seemed to wipe the sweat from his face with his right wrist as he fell, as well as looking very attentive to those around him.

At that moment as he fell, Doryoku could notice that a group of seven people ambushed Oboro's group surrounding them, which seemed to be on the lookout for anyone who approaches Doryoku.

"Attack!!" said a pink haired girl dressed in a blue suit as she gave the order to attack from all sides.

"I'll take care of it! Cover your ears!" Hizashi said seriously and taking a deep breath, making Aizawa and Oboro cover their ears.

Lots of paint shots came from all sides until...

"Yeahhhhhhhhh!!!" Hizashi yelled making a huge sound wave and causing all the paint bullets to explode in the air and some of the closest participants to be stunned.

Doryoku watched this from a distance with curiosity and seemingly an idea in mind, then fell to the ground again.

Aizawa and Oboro fired at the surrounding contestants, managing to eliminate 3 right after Hizashi finished with his yelling and causing the rest to flee quickly.

"Good job" said Aizawa giving the most support he could show with his lack of expressiveness and making the rest of them smile with pride.

"The white rabbit seems to be in trouble!! But to me that brat is already a damn genius for getting here!!" High command said quite excited as he recounted Doryoku's situation.

"Come on he shouldn't be too far!" Oboro said seriously and leading the way to the northwest where they saw Doryoku fall.

"There are 22 participants left and they are the most skilled!! Come on rabbit, you can!!" High command said quite excited and expectant.

Oboro's group was running quickly towards Doryoku while paying close attention to their surroundings in case there was an ambush waiting for them.

Suddenly, another great tremor was felt but this time only a large cloud of smoke was seen covering an area not far from the group.

"Good job brat there are only 19 left!!" High command said quite excited to see Doryoku's tactics.

And thanks to that, Oboro's group rushed towards the cloud of dust, which was dispersing little by little.

There were several participants around, who seemed to have reached a kind of truce after falling into Doryoku's trap several times and eliminating each other.

And as the dust cloud dispersed, a silhouette in combat position could be seen in the center of it along with a great laugh.

"Hahaha! Let you come you piece of bastards! I'll beat you all up!" Doryoku said who seemed quite excited and had a big crazy smile on his face, as well as two weapons, one in each hand.

"Oops, maybe I forgot to mention it, but in the first match we had in training, we found out that Doryoku was a combat freak when the situation was completely against him, ¡my bad!" said Oboro scratching the back of his neck nervously and making Aizawa and Hizashi look at him with blank eyes.

And with this, the second part of the sports festival reaches its full climax.

"Even in that he looks like his father, it's like watching a recording of him" Nintai said with a nervous smile seeing Doryoku's state of excitement.

"Wow, your son is very strong Nintai-senpai, it's incredible that he survived so long" Aoi said quite shocked with everything that happened while Nintai smiled proudly.

"Silence, the best part is coming!" Hiro said quite excited as he watched the outcome of it all.
