"The U.A. sports festival first-year stage qualifier! The first game is an obstacle course race! It's a cruel chicken race where anything goes as long as you stay on course! We'll bring you the exciting scenes with camera robots set around the course!" Present Mic announce as he look at the live feed
"Now then can the golden eggs aiming to be future heroes get through the mass of Robo Infernos?!" Present Mic announce
"If they went through all this trouble, I wish they would've prepare something better..." Todoroki said as he freeze the ground
"... since my stupid old man is watching" Todoroki finish as he freeze the whole 0-pointer making it stop moving. Todoroki then began to run under it
"He stop them!" A student yell in awe
"Between their legs! We can get through!" Another student yell as they all began to run under the frozen 0-pointer
"I won't be there if I were you. I froze them when they were unbalanced..." Todoroki said as the ice began to crumble and the 0-pointer fell down at the students
"... they'll fall over" Todoroki finish as he keeps running
"The first one through the first barrier is Shoto Todoroki from Class 1A!" Present Mic announce
"Hey! Someone's trapped underneath!" A student yell terrified
"Wouldn't that kill them?!" A student yell terrified
"Will people die at this sports festival?!" A student yell terrified
Suddenly from the 0-pointer body's something break through, it was Kirishima
"Like I'd die!" Kirishima yell as he break out from the 0-pointer's body
"AHHHH!!! Kirishima from Class 1A was underneath! That's crazy!" Present Mic announce
"That bastard, Todoroki! HE timed it on purpose so it'd be right when they fell. If it hadn't been me, someone would've died!" Kirishima yell angrily
Suddenly just beside Kirishima another person break through
"That Class A... really is filled with bastards!" A class B student yell angrily
"WAAAAA!!! Tetsutetsu tetsutetsu from Class B was also underneath! That's crazy!" Present Mic announce
"If it hadn't been me, someone would've died!" Tetsutetsu yell angrily
"Our quirks are pretty much the same?! I have a hard enough time standing out as it is!" Kirishima yell frustrated as he cry while running on the 0-pointer's body
"Wait, you little!" Tetsutetsu yell angrily as he run along Kirishima
"Those guys are lucky... they can get through without being afraid of getting crushed" Kaminari said jealous
"Anyway, let's work together for now to clear a path!" A class B student suggested as he use his quirk when suddenly there's an explosion behind them
Kaminari look at the explosion and see Bakugou thrust himself towards the 0-pointer
"Bakugou?!" Kaminari yell surprise
"Like I'd let you get ahead of me!" Bakugou yell as he move closer to the 0-pointer's head
"Class 1A's Bakugou! Since the bottom's blocked, he goes overhead! Clever!" Present Mic announce
"You seem like you'd be the type to plow straight through, but you can go around when you need to, huh?" Sero ask as he and Tokoyami chase down Bakugou
"I'm going to hitch a ride!" Tokoyami yell
"Tch!" Bakugou scoff seeing the two
"Land!" Tokoyami ordered his quirk
"Aye, aye!" Dark Shadow comply as he and the other two jump down and in the stadium the audience cheer
"As expected, most of the group that's gone ahead is from Class A" Snipe stated
"Class B and the other courses aren't bad, either! It's just..." All Might claim
"... Class A doesn't spend a lot of time standing around" Aizawa stated as Iida is running before he jump and kick a villain robot destroying it
Jirou use her earlobe to send a shockwave at two villain robot disabling them
Kaminari jump from in incoming attack before he use his electricity at the attacker
"Those who experienced firsthand that world above them through the incident at USJ" Aizawa stated as Kirishima is running away
"Release!" Uraraka said as she touch her fingers then multiple villain robot fall down
"Those who had fear planted in their hearths..." Aizawa stated as Ojiro use his tail to destroy a villain robot
"... those who dealt with it and pulled through. They all used that experience to drown out their hesitation" Aizawa stated
"AHHHHHH!!!" Toru yell terrified as 3 villain robots surrounded her when suddenly
"BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!" 3 gun shots echo the air
Toru open her eyes and see the villains surrounding her are all down and Izuku is in front of her
"You good?" Izuku ask
"Y-yeah! Thanks!" Toru reply before running away
Izuku nod then look at the path in front of him and see multiple 0-pointer blocking the way
'There's no way we could get through those hunk junk of metal they're in the way. I need ATGMs to clear up a path' Izuku though before suddenly the 0-pointer starting exploding one after another
Izuku look behind and see Yaoyorozu created a cannon to destroy the robots
"A piece of cake" Yaoyorozu claim before she start running
"The path is clear!" Sato yell as he and others began to run
Izuku smile 'A pirate cannon? Well that work as well' Izuku though amused as he is running away
"Hey, hey! The first barrier's a piece of cake? Then what about the second? If you fall, you're out! If you don't wanna fall, then crawl! It's "The fall"!" Present Mic announce as Uraraka, Mina and Asui look down on the abyss with terrified expression
"When did they build this stage?" Uraraka wonder
"It's more like why no one realize this thing is even here in the first place" Izuku corrected
"Midoriya! You made it here!" Uraraka claim happily
"And looks like you girls are the same" Izuku reply smiling, suddenly they heard a chuckling voice behind them then turn around
"Here it is! Here's my chance to show off! It's time for my support items to be in the limelight! Look, all you support companies across the country! Wire arrows and... hover soles! Glitter!" A pink haired student with a ton of support gadget claim
"You're from the support course?" Asui ask tilting her head
"What? It's okay to bring in items?" Mina complain
"Yeah, that's cheating" Uraraka complain
"So I'm cheating as well?" Izuku ask as he grab his pistol
"Uh, no Midoriya! I didn't mean you're cheating!" Uraraka apologize frantically
"The hero course undergoes combat training regularly, right? In order to keep things fair, we are allow to equip items and costumes, as long we developed them ourselves! Or perhaps I should say..." The support course student explain then she launch a wired arrow to the cliff
"... for those of us in the support course, this is the place where we can show off our ideas and skills to companies!" The support student claim then she jump off to the abyss
"Come, take a look, all you companies! Especially the big one! Look at my super cute babies!" The support student yell as she swing to another cliff
"Wow..." Uraraka gaped
"She's kinda weird" Izuku said sweatdropping
"Yeah" Mina agree
"We have to go, kero" Asui suggested
"She's right, BTW do all of you want to work together?" Izuku ask the girls
"You have a plan, Midoriya" Uraraka ask
"I have one" Izuku reply
"Then I'm in!" Mina claim happily
"Let's hear your plan, Midoriya" Asui said
"Ok, this is gonna be risky, but high risk high reward, if this work we could get to the other side quickly" Izuku told the girls
"As long we could get to the other side then I'm in!" Mina claim with Uraraka and Asui nod in agreement
"All right, listen up, this is the plan" Izuku then explain his plan
"A lot of different people are working hard for their chance, huh, Erase Head?" Present Mic ask Aizawa
"Huh?" Aizawa reply annoyed
In front Todoroki is sliding on the wire with his ice
"And now, the leader of the pack is easily getting through first!" Present Mic announce
Todoroki then look back and see Bakugou is closing in on him
'Looks like he's getting fired up. A slow starter?' Todoroki though
"Damn it!" Bakugou yell irritated
Iida then reach The Fall before stopping and asses the situation
"My older brother is probably also watching. I can't let him see me act uncool!" Iida declare as he slide on the wires like Todoroki just less cool
"That's so uncool!" Present Mic announce
"The lead pack is step ahead, but below them, everyone's clumped together! They haven't announce how many people will make it through, so you can relax! Push forward!" Present Mic announce
In The Fall Asui jump to the wire then crawl to the center of the wire while her tongue is stay behind in the starting place. Asui reach the center of the wire then nod at the direction of her tongue
Her tongue is actually being hold by Izuku who nod back at Asui. Izuku then grab Uraraka's arm who is currently hugging Mina and Mina hug her back
"You girls ready?" Izuku ask smiling
"NO!!!" Both girls yell fearfully
"Good" Izuku reply then he dive to the abyss with the two girls
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! WE SAID NOOOO!!!" Both Uraraka and Mina scream terrified as they all fall down
"WHOA!!! WHOA!!! WHOA!!! What we got here?! They fall together?!" Present Mic announce
Izuku, Uraraka, and Mina keep on falling at high speed, as they swing closer directly below Asui the weight of the three of them make the wire bend down and Asui try her best to hold on. As they swing directly below Asui, Asui pull her tongue making the three swing up rapidly
When they swing parallel to the ground, Izuku throw both girls away
"Go long!" Izuku yell as he use the swing momentum of their fall plus the spring effect of the bending wire to throw the girls up and away to the other side of The Fall
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Both Uraraka and Mina scream terrified as they fly through the air
"KYAAAAAAAAA!!! FLOAT US, URARAKA!!! FLOAT US!!!" Mina scream terrified
"I AM!!! I AM!!!" Uraraka scream terrified as they fly their way to the other side
Meanwhile Izuku land on a cliff safely before he nod to Asui who nod back then she jump down. Izuku then pull her tongue to swing her to the next cliff
Asui land on the cliff then Izuku jump and Asui pull her tongue to swing Izuku to the next cliff, they do this continuously until they reach the other side
Meanwhile Todoroki reach the final obstacle, he stop and look at the obstacle
"And now, we've quickly arrived at the final barrier! The reality here is... that it's a minefield! It's set up so that you can tell where the mine are if you look carefully! So you have to exploit you eyes and legs! By the way, these landmines are for games, so they're not that powerful, but they're loud and flashy enough to make you wet your pants! Present Mic announce
"That depends on the person" Aizawa commented
Mina and Uraraka finally float their way to the other side of The Fall
"Uraraka! We're landing! We're landing!" Mina yell as she see the ground getting closer and closer
"Ok, ok! Here we go!" Uraraka reply as she prepare herself for the landing
They both then land quite hard before rolling down and crash to the stairs. Uraraka and Mina are in the ground with their eyes spinning
"Ouch..." Uraraka groan dizzily
"That... was... AWESOME!!!" Mina yell excited as she get up and jumping excitedly surprising Uraraka
"M-Mina?" Uraraka ask confuse
"Let's do that again!" Mina yell excited
"NO!!!" Uraraka yell denying Mina's suggestion when suddenly Asui land near them
"Asui!" Mina yell excited as Asui pull her tongue to pull Izuku towards them
"Incoming!" Izuku yell as he land perfectly near the girls
"Midori! Your plan is scary at first but it was fun!" Mina claim excitedly
"It is" Izuku reply smiling before he look at Asui
"Is your tongue good?" Izuku ask her
"It's good, don't worry about it, kero" Asui claim
"All right then, let's move!" Izuku ordered then they all started running
Back to the minefield, a student step on a mine the he is blast away by a pink explosion, then another student have the same fate
'I see. This is an obstacle that put those in the lead at a disadvantage. Trying to make it entertaining, huh?' Todoroki though as he carefully walk through the minefield
But behind Todoroki, Bakugou propel his way forward with his explosion, he is virtually flying across the minefield and approaching Todoroki
"This doesn't affect me! Bastard, don't declare war to the wrong person!" Bakugou yell as he attack Todoroki who manage to evade
"And now, we've got someone new in the lead! Rejoice, mass media! It's the kind of development you guys love!" Present Mic announce
Iida try to run faster than the exploding mine, but the explosion caught up to him making him stop
"Hey,hey, he, the rest of the pack is also speeding up! However! Even as they push and pull at each other, can the two at the top remain in the lead?" Present Mic announce as students form class B are running in the minefield and Bakugou still fighting Todoroki in the lead
Izuku, Mina, Uraraka, and Asui finally reach the minefield
"Uwahhh... a minefield" Uraraka gaped
"We need to be careful, kero" Asui said
"But if we do, we can't win" Mina complain
As the girls about to move carefully to the minefield, Izuku run at full speed towards the minefield surprising the girls
"Midoriya! What are you doing?!" Uraraka yell at Izuku but Izuku keep running
"What else?! Winning this race!" Izuku reply as he keep on running at full speed
"Hey, hey, hey! What we got here?! Izuku Midoriya from Class A are running at full speed inside the minefield and not igniting any of the mines?!" Present Mic announce as the other students look at Izuku dumbfounded
"What the?!" Iida yell surprise seeing Izuku running pass him without any issue
Izuku then reach the two leading hot heads. Todoroki and Bakugou are too busy fighting each other and fail to notice Izuku has caught up to them
Izuku the run pass them "On your left" Izuku said as he left the two of them in the dust
"And we have a new lead! Izuku Midoriya from Class A zoom his way passing the two former leads!" Present Mic announce
Todoroki and Bakugou are surprise but quickly pursuit Izuku
"Guns! Don't go ahead of me!" Bakugou yell angrily as he chase Izuku
Todoroki then froze the ground 'This'll give those in the back a path... but I don't have time to worry about what's behind me!' Todoroki though as he run down the frozen ground
"The two formerly in the lead have stooped trying to slow each other down and are chasing Midoriya! Now that they have a common enemy, they've stop fighting! The fight's not over yet, though!" Present Mic announce
Izuku grab his gun then shoot at the ground near Todoroki and Bakugou
'He missed? No...!' Todoroki though then he realize Izuku's target. Izuku shot the mine near them, the mine then explode making Todoroki and Bakugou fall back
'Idiots' Izuku though as he holster back the pistol and keep running out of the minefield
"Midoriya swiftly pass through those behind him! Would you believe it? He cleared the minefield in an instant!" Present Mic announce then Todoroki and Bakugou have recover and chase down Izuku
"Eraser Head, your class is amazing! What're you teaching them?!" Present Mic ask Aizawa
"I didn't do anything. They got each other fired up own" Aizawa reply
"U.A. sports festival, first-year stage! Who could've predicted the developments at the beginning or this conclusion?" Present Mic announce as Izuku, Todoroki, and Bakugou are running at the doorway towards the stadium's field
"Right now, the first person back in the stadium is that man..."Present Mic announce as Izuku run inside the field first
"Izuku Midoriya's made a huge splash!" Present Mic announce as the audience cheer on Izuku's arrival
'This sports festival is a competition where they have to aim for the top, even if it means defeating their friends and classmates' All Might though as the students are running in the doorway towards the finish gate
'Modern heroes depend a lot on their popularity, so they need to have that desire to be above all the others. But you, Young Midoriya, is not like most people in here. You're not here because you want to be a hero, but because you are ordered to attend here. But still, I believe what Principal Nezu said "He is dangerous but with the right guidance he'll be a fine asset to the heroes" You are right Principal, he is an asset' All Might though proudly
In the field Bakugou is panting then hold his arm "Again... damn! Damn it!" Bakugou yell frustrated
"And now, they're finishing one after another! We'll make a list of the results later, but for now, good work!" Present Mic announce as Izuku check his pistol
"Midoriya! You were amazing!" Uraraka praise Izuku tiredly
Izuku holster the pistol "Oh, Uraraka" Izuku greet her
In the background Iida is depress because he lose despite having a speed quirk
"First place is amazing! That's so frustrating, dang it!" Uraraka praise Izuku
"Thanks, but... being number one doesn't always mean a good thing" Izuku said feeling something bad
"Huh? What do you mean, Midoriya?" Uraraka ask confuse
"I don't know, my gut says something bad is coming for me" Izuku reply
"The first game of the first-year stage is finally over. Now, take a look at the results!" Midnight announce as she display the results
First: Izuku
Second: Todoroki
Third: Bakugou
The list goes on with most of the participant are from class A and B there are also a student from general studies and support department and the last number 42 is Aoyama
"The top 42 made it through to the next round. It's unfortunate, but don't worry even if you didn't make it! We've prepared other chances for you to shine" Midnight explain then she lick her lips
"The real competition begins next! The press cavalry'll be all over it! Give it your all! Midnight explain as Bakugou is getting angrier
"Now then, here is the second game. I already know what it is, but what could it be? What could it be?" Midnight taunted as the spinning roulette keep spinning
"I just said it, and now here it is..." Midnight said as the roulette stop spinning and display "Cavalry Battle"
"A cavalry battle? I'm bad at those..." Kaminari whine
"It's not an individual event, so I wonder how it'll work..." Asui wonder
"Let me explain. The participant can form teams of two to four people as the wish. It's basically the same as regular cavalry battle, but the one thing that's different is... based on the result of the previous last game, each person has been assigned a point value" Midnight explain
"A point based system like the entrance exam, huh? That's easy to understand" Sato commented
"In other words, each team is worth different points depending on who's on the team!" Uraraka concluded
"Aha!" Mina understand
"You guys don't hold back even though I'm talking, huh?!" Midnight yell at the girls making them startled
"Yes, that's right! And the points assigned go up by 5 starting from the bottom. So 42md place gets 5 points, and 41st gets 10 points! And the point value assigned to first place is..." Midnight explain as Izuku look at his point
"You gotta be shitting me" Izuku curse seeing his points
"... 10 million!" Midnight yell surprising the whole participant
'10 million, huh?' A general studies student though
'In other words, if you take down the first place player's team...' The pink haired support course student though
'... you can stand at the top no matter what place you're in!' The whole participant though as they all look at Izuku with devil's eye
"That's right! It's the survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top!" Midnight explain
Izuku grab his pistol, eject the old magazine, reload with a fresh magazine then cocked the gun "... damn I'm fucked" Izuku mumble annoyed
