TITLE: Sports festival (3) – Wait and see
Sora noticed the stares the trio was giving him but he ignored them as he began thinking of the next event in this festival, the Calvary battle. A battle where one had to form a team of 2-4 people and fight each team for points.
This is was his worst event at the festival since he didn't like associating with people as they were too troublesome and even if he did, he didn't know who to choose. He stopped thinking and decided he'll decide when it's time.
.
Moments later, Midnight appeared before the students and said:
"A pretty interesting first round. Let's take a look at the standings"
The gigantic monitor went on to show the 42 students that had succeeded and after seeing this, Midnight moved on
"Now the real fun begins, the chance to push yourself to the limelight. Give it your best, the next event is…"
The images rolled exceeding fast before finally showing "CALVARY BATTLE"
"Here, participants will form teams of 2-4 people…"
She moved on to explain the event but Sora paid no attention to this as he already recalled everything. Rather, he looked at the people moving to the next round and smiled when he noticed the pink-haired girl with red horns.
'So she made it' he thought before looking at the other people present but soon stopped when he heard Midnight say:
"And the point value assigned to the first place is 10 000 000!!"
Izuku hearing this immediately whited out, like literally before he recalled what she had said, and began sweating buckets but this didn't affect his eyesight as he noticed almost everyone turn to him.
They all knew if they defeat him, then their victory is pretty much assured.
She then moved on to explain the rules before giving them 15 minutes to choose teammates.
Immediately, many spread out and began looking for teammates.
Sora stayed in place as he thought of who he should team up with but before he muse on it, he felt a nudge.
He turned to the direction he felt it from and saw Hana smiling. Sore looked at her for a few seconds before turning away.
"Awww c'mon" Hana whined as she pulled his sleeve. He sighed then turned to her and asked "what do you want?"
"Let's form a team!"
"Yeah, I'd rather not" Sora answered as he saw her beaming smile.
Hana was taken aback by his response as she asked "why?"
"You're too hyperactive"
"Oh c'mon, we will make a great team and I doubt you'll find a teammate"
"Huh, why would you say that?" Sora asked surprised by her evaluation
"'It's too troublesome' that's what you'll say and wait for someone to approach"
"Hmm, you're kinda right"
"See. C'mon, we'll make a great team"
"*sigh* do I have a choice?"
"Not really"
"Okay, let's get this shit over with"
"Yaaayyyyyy! Come, let me get a taste of you" Hana said before leaning closer to Sora but he immediately vanished and appeared 100 meters away as he said
"I don't wanna have Corona"
"Huh, what's that?"
But Sora didn't answer her. Seeing as her questions won't be answered she asked "so what's the plan?"
"Hmm, we'll just have to wait and see"
.
15 minutes later, everyone was in a team and Sora was no different as he carried Hana.
"Who are you?" Hana almost immediately after getting comfortable on Sora's back
"The name's Sora"
"Imposter! Sora will never carry someone"
"Oh c'mon, if I let you carry me I won't be able to call myself a man"
"You ain't a man"
"Shut up"
Their team consisted only of them and they had a cumulative of 360 points, with Sora bringing 195 and Hana 165. They just had to steal more to advance
"BEGIN"
Immediately, Sora surrounded himself and Hana with air thus making them invisible as you know, the air is invisible.
Hana was surprised by this development but this soon turned to shock as she noticed they were gaining altitude, Sora just raised himself above the ground.
"Damn, you're heavy"
Sora said after gaining stability but he soon regretted it as he felt a hand on his neck.
"What did you say?" Hana whispered in his ears
"*Gulp* nothing at all" Sora took in a mouthful of saliva as he said that. Hana smiled gently after hearing as she said "so, what am I supposed to do?"
"Steal some points, no one can see us now" Sora smirked
"Ok, let's go"
Immediately, Sora charged towards the various groups as Hana just extended her hand and stole points from the unsuspecting teams.
.
A few minutes later,
Watching the students battle other teams for points, President Mic couldn't hold his excitement as he commented on every occasion.
Aizawa who was by his side also gave a few words a few times but didn't elaborate much.
Looking at the teams below, he felt proud that most of those left standing were his students but he soon frowned as, since the very beginning, he hadn't seen a certain boy.
Mic noticed this and he asked Aizawa
"Oh Aizawa, is something wrong?"
"Huh? Well, there's a certain guy I haven't seen for a while now"
"Who might that be, I think everyone is there"
"I'm talking about Sora Menhera, I haven't seen the kid since the start of the event"
"Oh, that brown-haired kid. Now that you mention it…" his eyes couldn't help but turn to the field and noticed how some teams were crying about how their bands disappeared and he immediately connected the dots as he commented:
"Headbands disappearing left and right, Menhera of class 1A nowhere to be seen. Could he perhaps be the instigator?"
The crowd hearing this also began asking questions
"It's true, I haven't seen that brown-haired kid for a while now"
"Yeah, does his quirk make him invisible?"
While this was happening, Sora and Hana were still moving on the field. For the past few minutes, they had amassed around 200+ points and it was pretty sure they'll move forward so now they were just moving for moving sake.
"So what's your quirk?"
Sora asked. For a while, he had been asking himself questions about her power, she showed great strength in the battle trails and came out 10th in the race surpassing Iida, who came out 11th.
"Oh I don't like talking about it"
"Oh sorry I did-"
"But since it's you I'll tell you about it." She paused before continuing "my quirk is bloodrush, it grants me superhuman abilities using my blood. The duration normally is 30mins but if I'm able to get blood from someone, the duration increases depending on how much blood I get from said person"
"Wow, it's a cool quirk…"
"More of a curse than a blessing. Since the day my quirk got revealed, people began avoiding me as they thought of me as a vampire, who will suck them dry anytime"
"I see"
Sora nodded, he could pretty much guess how she felt being avoided your whole life due to something that's supposed to make you look cool wasn't easy.
He returned his focus to the battle and just when he was about to charge at another person, he heard
"…THE SECOND ROUND IS OFFICIALLY OVER"
President Mic said stopping all the students in their tracks. Sora removed the air surrounding him and Hana as they both stood side by side to see their ranks.
1 – Team Todoroki
2 – Team Bakugo
3 – Team Sora
4 – Team Midoriya
'Oh neat'
Sora thought as he said to Hana "thanks partner"
"Yeah" Hana was still in a grumpy mood as she left immediately
Sora sighed before turning back as he noticed someone glaring at him and to his surprise it was Shinsou.
'Huh, what's up with him?' Sora thought but he didn't want to stay and find out so he vanished.
Shinsou could only watch him leave with gritted teeth.
Why was he angry? Well while he was taking points from other teams, a hand popped out of nowhere and stole all the points he had amassed and with a few minutes left and many teams had already lost their points so he stood no chance.
So when he saw that Sora had taken 3rd place and throughout the round, he was nowhere to be seen, it was obvious Sora had stolen his points.
He felt bad as this meant he won't move to the next round but what could he do now? He wanted to vent out his frustration on Sora but the guy just vanished, he could only lament now as he headed out.
--- 1 Hour Later ---
It was time to brief the students on the 3rd and final round of the festival.
