So Nezu thought it would be prudent for me to be the announcer rather than midnight. He has her performing her job as a class teacher like Aizawa, she teaches the business course students and they are marketing stuff during the festival.
My ranking managed to break into the top ten and lots of people are eager to hear my voice or so the chinchilla says. I called him his species to his face and he gave me a soulless glare meaning I was correct. The faculty heard and spread it amongst themselves which was overheard by students.
His reputation as a mystery Pokemon is ruined! His response was to make me one of the main points of attraction for this years festival. Mousy prick.
My costume is white today and I'm not allowed to wear my leaf cloak so my costume resembles my old style. I can feel all the heroines in the audience gawking at my body.
Mt lady was snarling at a few of them who came towards me to "discuss working terms". Which is code for potential team ups and merchandising surrounding it. Recently I began sponsoring a school supply chain who made pencils and pens with artificial and eco friendly materials. It's paid off greatly for me.
I sat in the changing rooms going over some stuff on my phone. Crime statistics, financial portfolios, game reviews, heroic stats and my shopping list. A knock on the door echoed before it slid open. Aizawa walked in bandaged up like a mummy "your on in five woods."
"Hello eraser head, is your recovery going smoothly." I asked politely which made him grunt, that's anti social for yes.
"I'm surprised you chose to do this. Considering Nemuri being in the building." He said dryly.
"I actually applied for guard duty, I guessed Nezu's species so now he's chosen to make a spectacle of me."
Aizawa glared at me harder through his bandages "that was you?! Do you have any idea how many nature documentaries he's forced the staff to watch about rodents so he can point out how he's nothing like them!"
"I'd imagine enough for you to sleep through".
He went to argue before he quieted down and continued to stare at me. He most likely did not choose to sleep through. Shame, he would have gotten some decent sleep. I remember dozing off through numerous class lectures surrounding boring subject unabated. Best sleep I ever had in the school building.
"Your on!" He said before storming out of the room so I followed after him. I walked down the hallways to emerge into the arena only to be stopped by Yu. She smiled when she sat me.
"Hey shinji, I just spoke with that smelly bitch. The break up was hitting her hard. Anyway I came to wish you luck out there." She said before she smacked me on the ass and pushed me out into the spot light. I turned to glare at her but couldn't see her because of the lighting.
I sighed before walking up the steps towards the microphone whilst basking in the cheers of the audience. I looked at the array of students in front of me all staring at me with awe, though i did spot one with a look of disgruntlement. Izuku Midoriya! I would have expected him to have been bouncing off the walls at the sight of me. Guess his home life got a little bad after the shit his mother pulled, or he resents me for being out into 1-C.
I looked at 1-A and found a mop of purple hair in their group. Shinso took Midoriya's spot, I wonder if the broccoli boy gave them a speech about reclaiming his place in the hero course.
I also spotted Katsuki Bakugou leering at me with a look of determination in his eyes. Oh he must want to surpass me now.
I tapped on the microphone making the thump noise echo out. I then raised my arms "Welcome to the UA Sports Festival! The top tournament for showcasing the next generation of heroes. I thank each and every one of you for tuning it to watch this monumental occasion. Today is sure to be filled with action packed events and cool performances from the students.
First up is the first year group with their representative Katsuki Bakugou. Come on up shonen and give an opening speech!"
I said in a much cheerier tone than I'm used to giving. I even did the kakashi eye smile thing to put people at ease. The explosive Pomeranian walked slowly up the steps beside me before taking the microphone.
"I want to say..... that I'm happy all of you are watching today. Because today is the day that everyone will witness the birth of the next top hero! I'm gonna smash the competition! I'm going to become a pro! Then I'm going to surpass Kamui Woods and All might!"
Oh... he's a lot more fiery with his ambitions than the canon guy. The audience went nuts at his declaration whilst his classmates began barraging him with insults.
When he walked down to the students I gave a polite clap to his words. "What a stupendous speech from Bakugou! I hope the rest of his group have as much fire as he does! Now then students onto your spots so we can begin the first event!"
When they all filled into the tunnel I began narrating the obstacle course event. Before it could begin I said "now then! I want a clean race everyone. Quirks are allowed! Intentionally harming another competitor may result in disqualification.
On your marks! Get set! Go!" I yelled follows by the sound of a cannon going off. I won't bore you with the details of the race because it was the exact same as canon.
Midoriya managed to gain first place but he didn't bury himself into the concrete with tears. Instead he smiled widely and waved to the audience. All might must have coached him on public speaking or something.
When the others arrived it looked like Uraraka approached him to congratulate him, he then reverted to a snivelling mess. I sighed for the umpteenth time and prepared to move back out.
My phone buzzed before I could exit so I pulled it out. Call girl messaged me.
[boss you were right! A cyber attack is taking place, someone's is trying to hijack the feed and stream random videos. Good thing I was here otherwise the audience would have seen a gorillas cheeks getting clapped.]
[the villain has been identified by the principal who has back traced the signal to be a member in the audience. We need you to keep things going and not show any signs off distress so we can capture him. The villain goes by the name Wrench and seems to be targeting one of the top ten.]
Well shit.... wait does that mean a member of dedsec is in the audience I thought as my eyes widened comically. Damn anime physics.
