Sports Festival

The next day at school was surprisingly normal considering a large group of organized villains just attacked students on UA grounds, but showing a their professionalism the staff had everything sorted for the next day of classes.

Everyone was talking about the USJ incident and how they were on the news for a short while. Toru ended up feeling depressed after she realises that no one would've noticed her, believe invisible and all

Aizawa walks into the class as per usual, everyone in class 1-A quiets down and get ready to listen in.

"Your fight is not yet over." He states speaking ominously as ever.

His words created angst among the pupils, everyone wonders if villains are going to attack again. Turns out all their worry was for nothing when the teacher continues to say.

"The UA sports festival is about to start"

The class erupted in cheers of excitement, the UA sports festival was one of, if not the most watched event in the world. Though usually everyone's attention is on the 3rd years as it's their last opportunity to get noticed and the competition is more intense, but with all that happened yesterday there will be plenty of eyes on the first years. The populous ever eager to see the students that fought against the villains.

Once everyone's vigour died down, Jiro made a good point that was a sentiment of everyone listening,

"Is it really a good idea to hold the sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside" she stated.

"They could attack when we're all in the same place" Ojiro added on.

Aizawa the explains that the school board thinks the festival is a good way to show that the threat has been handled and that UA is safer than ever. Apparently their even bringing in pro's from all across the country just to heighten the security. He also made the point that the sports festival is a huge opportunity for all students, not just the hero course. Although most of the focus will be on us, other courses still use the platform to get their work noticed. Especially the support course, normally they bring their inventions and hope potential investors will take notice of their skills.

For us since there will so many pro heroes watching, many of them will be looking to scout potential sidekicks for the future and even internships or work studies that we'll do at some point during our education.

"One chance a year, three chances in a lifetime, no aspiring hero can afford to miss this festival... That means you better not slack off in your training." Aizawa finished his explanation with a serious piece of advice.

"Yes sir!" the class replied.

"Class dismissed" He tiredly said before going back into his sleeping back and hopping away.

The lunchtime bell went off and the class began splitting into smaller groups to talk about the festival.

Me? I was starving, I'm heading to the cafeteria before there's a massive cue. No way I'm waiting in that thing to get my food. So skirting round Ida performing what pensioners would call dancing and an intense looking Uraraka, I left the class.

Arriving at my destination I swiftly ordered my lunch before the place could fill up. After getting my usual and paying Lunch Rush for his services, I was about to sit down at the nearest table when I saw the black haired girl from the other day already sitting at a table herself, quietly eating her food.

Moving over I take a the empty seat next to her and say "How'd you manage to get here so quickly, I practically ran."

Putting her chopsticks down Yui looked at me and said "1-B's class is closer to the hall. It's easier for me arrive earlier."

To be honest I've no clue where 1-B's classroom is, I barely know my way around the school. The only places I know how to get to is my class, the training grounds and the exit. Maybe I should look around more, who knows, I might end up finding something interesting.

"You not come with your friends like the other day?" I asked her as I began to dig into the delicious cuisine.

"No, everyone stayed to talk about the festival. I was hungry, so I left" she softly answered.

After that we just sat in silence eating out respective lunches as the cafeteria quickly filled up with hungry students.

Yui finished her meal before me, so as I continued to savour the flavours she asked me "I seen the news, were you at the USJ yesterday?"

"I was, some pretty crazy stuff went down didn't it" I responded

"Are you okay?" she inquired, her cerulean eyes staring into mine.

"Do I look okay?" I stated.

Yui looked over me a few times, seemingly checking if I was alright before meeting my eyes once more and nodding.

Seriously I don't know if she's being serious or if that was meant to be a joke. Is she an bit of an airhead or is she just like that?.

Polishing off my food, I asked Yui "Do you know where Snipe's classroom is? I need to ask him for a few things"

Pondering with a blank look on her face she nods.

"Can you show me the way?"

I received another nod as and answer, only this time she picked up her tray and started to walk away.

Assuming she meant for me to follow her, we both put our stuff away before heading back towards the hero course buildings.

As we passed through the brightly lit corridors or UA, we ended up drawing looks from both of our classmates. They seemed pretty curious as to where we were going, but niether me nor Yui payed any attention to them.

As we climbed the stairs, I asked my guide "You looking forward to the sports festival?".

After nodding her head, she replies "Yes, but I'll need to train harder to get noticed"

"Are you training in anything special or will it just be the usual class training" I said.

"When I have free time I'm going to exercise more. Mr. Vlad said I should be more mobile" She repeated the advice class 1-B's teacher gave her.

"So you don't have a mobility quirk then" I pointed out.

Shaking her head at my words, she then says "My quirk lets me alter the size of anything I touch, or non-living things though, watch"

Pulling a pencil from her inside blazer pocket she then proceeded to transform the pencil into a supersized version of it's self. Seriously you could use that pencil as a spear at this point.

Once she showed me her quirk, Yui then pressed her fingertips together, similar to the way Uraraka does to cancel her quirk. This reverted the pencil back to it's original form.

Off the bat I could already think of several good ways to use the quirk. For starters imagine she threw a rock or something similar towards you then supersized it, that's like having a near infinite supply of boulders to throw at her enemies.

It'd be good for sneak attacks as well, just shrink the object and they've never see it coming.

Before I could ask Yui more about her quirk she stopped outside a one of the classroom doors.

"This is Snipe's classroom" She said standing slightly to the left of the door way.

"Thanks for bringing me here" I said with gratitude before knocking the door and walking inside.

The classroom looked the exact same as 1-A, only in here there was a desk in the corner where Snipes was currently sitting. Looking up from his lunch he asked me "Your Aizawa's student aren't you, he was telling us about how much help you gave him back at the USJ. Anyways what can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if you could help me at one of the training facilities after school ends. I had an idea for a new move watching you fight but I need someone to help me train it." I explained to the pro hero.

"Damn kid, you copying my moves or something, I thought you used fire to attack" Snipes questioned.

"It's not an attacking move, it's a defensive one, I need some protection from fast ranged attackers like you and being shot doesn't seem like it'd feel to good" I said.

Chuckling at my words he replies "Sure, I can help you out for a while after school, just don't expect me to take it easy on you".

After thanking Snipe for his time, I left the room and was about to go a walk around UA till class started again when I noticed Yui was still waiting for me.

"I'm going to explore UA for a bit, you tagging along?" I asked the girl, getting a nod in replies we started out strut in UA.
