[POV Reo]
[With the UA Teachers]
"Just what did that kid do??" a teacher asked while pointing towards the blackish smoke rising around Itsuki Reo.
(A/N: Of course, that is not smoke but from the distance, it looked like smoke rising from the ground. Of course, the ones who know what Reo's Quirk is, they know it's metal)
"Amazing! He can already bring out metal minerals from the ground" Nezu said while looking towards Reo, there was a look of awe in his eyes.
"Yes... I don't even want to imagine what he could do with that power" Aizawa was also amazed by the amount of power and control Reo showed over his Quirk. Many teachers agreed with him and Nezu.
They kept watching Reo, as he easily took the lead in the race and came to face with the Giant Robots. Some of them already cursed because they immediately knew that robots were made of metal and Reo's Quirk allowed him to control metals. It didn't take a rocket scientist to know what would happen.
Reo didn't let them down, the robots just ignored him and allowed him to pass. Well, in future events they must consider that using metal would give one of their students a huge advantage over the others.
[POV Reo]
I looked behind and I saw that I was pretty far ahead with a huge lead. I kept gliding over the ground until I came in front of the second challenge. It was a giant pit consisting of many pillars with ropes connecting them. It was called 'the Fall'.
I didn't slow down and glided over the cliff. Many thought that I would fall down, but I didn't even descend in the slightest. I kept gliding in the air just like that, it was like I was still gliding over the ground. I didn't even bother to try something else. Don't need to fix anything if it isn't broken.
I soon passed through the second challenge and reached the final challenge 'Minefield'. The mines were also made up of metals so I didn't even need to worry about where the mines were. Not that it mattered, I wasn't even placing my hair on the minefield. I was just gliding over that leisurely.
"And it looks like we have a winner already!! Itsuki Reo of Class 1-A, easily gliding over this whole obstacle course with ease! Nobody would have expected how easy this obstacle course would be for him!" Present Mic yelled into the Mic.
The crowd cheered and shouted as I crossed the finishing line. I got down from my surf board and the metal dust scattered on the ground and made a circle around me. Then I looked towards the stadium filled with audience and a smile appeared on my face.
Minutes later, I heard loud explosions and a few moments later Izuku Midoriya walked through the finishing line followed by Shoto Todoroki. Then surprisingly Momo crossed through the finishing line... I don't know how she came 4th, but I clearly noticed that she was followed by an enraged Bakugo. He was completely purple with rage and he looked like he would blow up anyone or anything...
[With the Pro-Heroes]
"It looks like his Quirk is really powerful... control and manipulate metals. That is really strong" someone random hero said.
"It is also obvious that his power is the most versatile Quirk I have ever seen. He could use metals to do anything he wants. He could use that to rescue people while fighting with enemies." someone else pitched in their thoughts
"He was also very fast, while he used that metal to glide over the whole obstacle race like nothing" someone spoke in a praising tone.
"He is also strong enough to extract metals from the ground" the first Hero pointed out.
"There is a great chance that he would be winning this Sports Festival" a Hero among the crowd declared and everyone nodded with him except one Pro-Hero.
All the pro heroes were discussing amongst themselves, a certain red-haired hero wasn't happy. He wasn't happy at all but didn't say anything.
[In a Dark Room]
Currently, a blue-haired 'Man-Child' was sitting in a dark room staring at his laptop screen with hints of rage in his eyes.
"Sensei! Are you watching? Did you see that, that's him! The nobody who defeated us and defeated Nomu..." Tomura said while rubbing his neck.
"I see... just like what you said. His Quirk is truly strong" A voice came out of the background.
[POV Reo]
"And in second place! Someone completely unexpected! Izuku Midoriya!!" Present Mic yelled again into the mic and the crowd cheered loudly.
I guess I will be the target this time. I started to make some plans and I also wanted to have a group who would like to stand with me. Let the announcements finish first.
"You may have won the first round, but you definitely won't win the second." Bakugo came towards me and declared and then walked away. Weeeellll... that happened.
"And they are all finishing the race one by one! Good job kids! Go take a breather and get checked up if you have to. We will be posting the results once everyone is finished" Present Mic announced.
I just walked towards Momo, she noticed me and gave me a bright smile. "Congratulations on first Reo" Momo said to be with a smile on her face.
"Although it would have been much better if you had taken care of those giant robots in the obstacle course." She said with a deadpan on her face. Though I knew she wasn't serious at all but her face was really cute.
"Reo that was amazing!" Somebody slapped my back and snaked a hand around my shoulder. Obviously, it was Denki.
"I would have never thought that you could use metal to fly like that" Eijirou was the next.
"Yeah! But it was also quite unfair" Denki whined and went into depression.
"Life isn't fair my friend" I said to both of them. Momo's friends have also gathered around.
"Too true" Eijirou said and others immediately agreed with him.
Before we could continue any longer Midnight announced that the 1st event of the Sports Festival is officially over. "The first round is finally over! Let's look at the results!"
The screen behind her lit up to show the results and rankings. Next, she revealed the next course being a Cavalry battle and explained how it would work. She also explained that we could use our Quirks but contestants weren't allowed to make each other fall on purpose. Even if a team loses their headband or falls down, they can compete until the thirty-minute time limit. She finally revealed that the winner of the obstacle course would have 10 million points. All eyes immediately zeroed in on me.
"That's right, it's survival of the fittest for this course! A chance for those at the bottom to rise to the top!" Midnight announced while looking towards me with a naughty smile on her face. It was like she was telling the others to go after me...
"Don't worry my friend, even if nobody comes to our team. We can still win" Denki declared in front of everyone.
"Our team?" I asked him while raising my eyebrow towards him.
"Of course our team... do you think we were your friends just for the show? Even if all the teams out there would be gunning for us, I would still be in your team" It was Eijirou this time who answered me. It feels really nice to have some friends.
So, that was it... nobody else joined our team. Momo already joined Todoroki's team along with Iida and Tsuyu Asui. Denki was in Todoroki's team in the canon but since this time he was on my team his place was being filled by Tsuyu who was on Mineta's team.
I then looked for Mezo Shoji who joined Bakugo's team since Eijirou was on my team this time.
I needed more metal so I just crouched down on the ground while placing my hand on it. Immediately the ground became porous and metal particles came out of the ground as it happened at the beginning of the obstacle race. Nobody told me anything about taking out metals so there are no rules against it... so I am going to spam it.
We have decided that Eijirou was going to be the horse while using his body hardening Quirk and Denki would support me from the back. He would also supply mild electricity to the metal sand around us, this would dissuade a lot of participants from attacking us after they get stunned once.
[With the other contestants]
"Momo you know what his abilities are, so you also know if we can bypass his guard or not, right?" Iida asked Momo.
"Sigh... that is the problem... as long as he has metal we can't breach his guard. Maybe if Todoroki uses his Ice and Fire to make his metals brittle we might have to chance to pass his guard" Momo said while stroking her chin.
"Ribbit... Extreme cold could also achieve that. Can you achieve that much cold?" Tsuyu asked Todoroki.
"I can do that... but is there anything else we could use?" Todoroki asked wanting to gain more information.
"Yes... even we can't penetrate his guard he can't change the temperature around him... that would make all three of them very uncomfortable" Momo said with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Most of the teams would be going after him. Do we do that as well or go for the weaker ones first?" Iida asked his teammates.
"We will let the others go after him first. While Reo deals with them, we can easily go after the weaker teams and rake up some points. We attack him when he would be expecting us in the least" Todoroki said and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Are you guys ready!?" Suddenly Present Mic yelled in the mic as the crowd cheered once again. The teams got into positions, most looking towards Reo's team greedily because first they had only three members on their team and they would be giving the most points.
Seeing everyone was ready Present Mic started the count down.
"3... 2... 1...! START!!
