Chapter Text
“Nii-san! You gotta get up!” Izuku cracked his eyes open seeing Eri and Kouta smiling at him.
“I’m up Eri,” He sat up almost making them fall before he caught them “Careful.” He smiled down at them before standing up and going over to his closet.
There was a knock on the door before someone spoke.
“Kid? You awake.”
“Yeah,” The door opened revealing a bandaged Aizawa with one arm in a cast.
“Good, you need to get ready for the sports festival.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone waited in the locker room for the doors to open so they could go out to the area.
“Midoriya,” Izuku turned to Todoroki “From a quirk stand point, we’re almost evenly matched,” Izuku nodded his head “But, I will still beat you.”
“Aw, come on Todoroki, we’re all friends here.” Kirishima tried to reason, laying a hand on the other teens shoulder, but Todoroki just shrugged it off.
“I’m not here to make friends, consider this a declaration of war Midoriya.” Izuku was a little shocked.
“Hey Half in Half, why don’t you declare war on me huh?!” Todoroki simply pushed past Katsuki making him even angrier.
“Kacchan, stop.” Katsuki glared but calmed down nonetheless.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Our first round will be!...An obstacle course!” Izuku smirked a little, he’d done the obstacle course to get in, this would be simple.
“On your mark...get set…GO!” The doors opened letting them into the tunnel.
“It’s similar to the end tunnel.” He saw everyone pushing themselves to try and get through to the end.
He used thermal vision and saw Todoroki quickly getting a head of everyone. He slowly moved to the wall and got past everyone ending up right next to Todoroki.
They made it to the bots and Todoroki froze them giving them both the chance to get past them for the most part. Though parts of the bots began to fall towards them.
“Watch out!” Izuku pushed them both out of the way and used his fire to melt some of the metal so it missed them.
“And Midoriya Izuku has saved himself and his classmate! Both are now in the lead.” Izuku stood up and offered a hand to Todoroki who glared at it before standing up.
“I’m not here to make friends.” Izuku watched him before following after to continue the race.
He made it to the next obstacle as some people finally began to catch up. He looked at the wire before jumping.
“And Midoriya jumps! Will he make it to the next landing?!” Izuku knew he wasn’t going to, as he fell he grabbed onto the wire and flung himself past a few of the landings before landing in the middle.
“He fell but used it to his advantage! What are you teaching them Eraser?!” Present Mic asked, a little shocked.
“I didn’t teach them that.” Izuku cracked a smile before doing the same thing again.
He made it to the mine field and saw Todoroki already half way through. He used his infrared to spot where the mines were as he ran. He could hear Katsuki getting closer to him.
While still running he sent heat through the ground setting off a wall of mines making Todoroki stop in his tracks. He smirked as he took off running, not hitting any other mines as he jumped through the wall of smoke with a smile thrown over his shoulder to Todoroki who glared.
The two became neck in neck as Todoroki finally snapped out of his shock, with Katsuki not far behind them.
“And Midoriya and Todoroki are neck and neck! With Bakugou catching up to them! Who will win?!”
The difference between the three running was that Katsuki and Todoroki had to look out for the mines while all Izuku had to do was step around them since he could see them.
They were still neck in neck, Todoroki and Katsuki kept fighting while Izuku would dodge them. He smirked again as he came to an area cluttered with mines, as the two were busy fighting he jumped on them making them explode and giving him a boost. He was thrown ahead of them as they all made it to the end.
“And the winner is!...Midoriya Izuku!” Izuku took a breath and tried to calm down as he felt someone punch him in the shoulder.
“See you got a few tricks you fucking nerd.” He smiled at Katsuki, nudging him slightly. Todoroki caught his eye as he glared and began to walk away.
“What’s going through that head of yours?” Katsuki asked following his eye line. Izuku didn’t remove his eyes from Todoroki as he answered.
“Something happened to him,” Katsuki gave him a look telling him to continue “He’s got something burning in his eyes, it reminds me of…” Izuku’s eyes widened.
“My...father isn’t a good person, I ended up here cause I ran away, I wanted to take my siblings with me to get out of that hell hole, guess I’m glad I didn’t.”
“Never mind, let’s wait for the others.” Katsuki nodded but didn’t seem to believe him. Izuku had forgotten, he had forgotten the first place Touya was in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Now that we have the 42 students chosen! Let’s get to the next round! And it will be!....A cavalry battle!”
After Midnight explained the rules and points people split off, even when everyone had looked at him like animals he just kept a straight face.
“Hey Midoriya!” He looked over and smiled at Uraraka “I know we aren’t super duper close but, can I be on your team?” She asked with a nervous smile.
“Of course Uraraka, and you can call me Izuku, I prefer it.” Uraraka looked a little shocked.
“Well...then you have to either call me Ochako or a nickname!” She declared with a finger pointed at him, he laughed a little.
“Ok Ura, any ideas for who else should be on our team?” Uraraka thought about it for a moment before looking happy.
“How about Iida? He’s our friend too!” Izuku looked to where Iida was, he was talking with Todoroki and had likely joined the team.
“He is...but...I think he’s trying to fight me too, see?” He pointed over there and she looked a little dejected.
“Well...That’s ok! Let’s look-” Uraraka was cut off by a speeding ball of pink.
“Mr. 1 mil! Let me on your team!” Uraraka jumped while Izuku just looked at her.
“Who are you?” Uraraka, being the more talkative out of the two.
“Hatsumei Mei! Future CEO of Hatsumei industries at your service! I want you to use my babies!” Both looked shocked at that until Izuku saw the machines.
“Do you have anything that works with zero gravity and fire?” Hatsumei beamed and began listing things they could use.
“We need one more person though..” Uraraka looked deep in thought while Izuku turned and smiled.
“Do you wanna join our team?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“I’m glad you chose me Midoriya, I will do my best.” Tokoyami said as Izuku tied the headband on.
“I’m happy you decided to join us Tokoyami, and please call me Izuku, that goes for you to Hatsumei.” The two nodded as they got ready for the timer to go down.
“Remember, as soon as that timer goes down, everyone’s going after us, we need to get up and out of the way, Uraraka and Hatsumei’s machines will give us a boost, my fire can make them back away but I don’t want to use it to much because it’ll weaken darkshadow.”
“How did you-”
“I noticed during our training, he’s weaker when you get closer to me or Kacchan.” Izuku smiled calmly at him.
“3!...2!...1!” All the teams set off towards Izuku’s team.
“Up!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
They had been staying in the air successfully.
“Izuku, I need a break.” Uraraka groaned out.
“Of course, let’s get down and get ready to dodge.”
Once they landed on the ground a few teams got close to them but they were able to dodge and even grab a few headbands.
“Izuku,” He looked at Hatsumei since they had breathing room “Why are we grabbing headbands if we have the mil?”
“We don’t know if someone will get lucky, better to be prepared for a back up.” She nodded in understanding as they got ready to dodge a few more teams.
“We need up again, I don’t think we’ll be able to dodge them all!” Uraraka called as she got ready to go up.
“Careful! Mineta got you on one of boots.” Izuku yelled as he dodged another attack.
“Crap! We need to get out of here fast!” Hatsumei yelled back as she looked for an exit. Izuku looked to Tokoyami and nodded.
“I need you all to trust me for a second, if something feels off get my attention.” Izuku explained as he lifted his hands while his pupils became red.
“Izuku what do you-” Uraraka was cut off as a ring of fire shot out from around Izuku and pushed the teams to run from them.
The three under Izuku shrieked as the fire hit them...but it didn’t have any heat, the fire wasn't burning them. Once the ring disappeared the teams had left.
“What..was...that?!” Hatsumei exclaimed in glee.
“I can make my fire not burn, we needed them away but couldn’t leave, last resort thing.”
“Hope you can do it again, we got incoming from team Todoroki.” Izuku looked at them and saw them getting closer as a wall of ice surrounded them.
“It wont work on them, Todoroki can put it out.” Izuku focused as the team started talking.
“Please don’t let this go to waste Todoroki!” Izuku’s eyes widened as he saw more heat build up into the engines.
“I need you to run behind them, you’ll know when!” Izuku put a hand on Tokoyami’s shoulder who looked shocked. The other team came speeding past them as Izuku used Tokoyami as a brace and jumped over him.
“That’s the signal I think!” Todoroki and Izuku came face to face.
As Izuku got close enough he saw a fire lighting up on the boys arm, he smirked and used his quirk to snuff it out before grabbing onto Todoroki’s headband while the other did the same, even though he was in shock while looking at his arm.
“Wow Izuku! That was amazing!” Uraraka cheered. He wasn’t paying attention though as he saw Todoroki still in shock.
“Sorry, I lost the headband, but I grabbed his too.” The three were about to defend him but someone started yelling.
“Zuchan!” Izuku smirked as he made eye contact with Katsuki as he pointed to Todoroki, the other teen understood and started heading for Todoroki while Izuku’s team did the same.
“And times up!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Midoriya,” Izuku looked away from his group and to Todoroki “I need to talk to you in private.” Izuku nodded and was about to follow when Kirishima stopped him.
“You sure Mido? You don’t have too.” Izuku smiled and nodded his head as he followed Todoroki.
The two were silent as they stood in the tunnel.
“You made me use my left side.” Izuku could already tell where this was going, but he knew the other had to get it out of his system.
“Do you know what quirk marriages are?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It was silent again once Todoroki had finished, Izuku felt a smile come to his lips.
“You’re a lot like him.” The other teen snarled.
“Don’t compare me to-”
“I wasn’t,” Todoroki stopped yelling “You remind me of your brother, Touya,” Izuku pushed himself off the wall and turned to him with a smile “I helped him use his quirk, I’ll do the same for you.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Now that our break is over! Time for our 1 v 1! On the left side we have...Midoriya Izuku! The big brother of 1-A and the person who has had everyone's attention since the beginning!” People in the crowd cheered.
“And on the right side we have...Shinsou Hitoshi of 1-C! Who hasn’t gotten much attention and we haven’t seen much either! Begin!”
The two stood across from each other, both with a glare. Izuku already knew what his quirk was and didn’t plan on responding, though it was nice for Ojiro to give him a heads up.
“Looks like we’ll be facing each other, of course they put us against each other, just helps boost your ego.” Izuku softened a little and that seemed to catch the other off guard. “But I guess it doesn’t matter, you’re going to win anyway with a powerful quirk like that,” He saw Izuku flinch a little “Then again, your life must of been amazing with a quirk like that, everything handed to you, so of course you took pity on a ‘villain’ like me.” Izuku’s eyes widened and he took a few steps forward.
“Shinsou I didn-” Izuku felt a fog come over him when he answered.
“Thanks, now be a hero and walk out of bounds.” Izuku felt himself move even though he tried to stop it.
“Come on! I need to break out!” He tried fighting against it, but it seemed to only get worse. He struggled more until he heard someone whispering.
“Who’s there?!” It was like shouting into a void.
“It’s ok to be afraid,” He looked around again, still confused “Now break out.”
As soon as that person spoke he felt all of his fire go out in a ripple effect before disappearing.
He whipped around and looked to Shinsou who also seemed shocked that he was able to break out of the control.
“And Midoriya seems to have broken out of the trance!” Once he was out of his shock he began running at Shinsou.
“How did you-” He didn’t get to finish his sentence as Izuku punched him in the stomach. Izuku took a step back, getting into a fighting position.
Once Shinsou was standing again Izuku swept his legs out from under him, they went back in forth with Shinsou trying to get a response while Izuku would try to get him down until Shinsou was finally out of bounds on the ground.
“And Midoriya wins!” Shinsou grunted and was about to get up until Izuku offered a hand.
“Need some help?” Shinsou tried to stay mad but it didn’t work very well seeing as he was smirking now.
“Sure.”
