Chapter 7 - Infiltration and Start of Sports Festival (3)

Slowly opening his eyes and seeing that someone had placed a new shirt on his lap, he got up, put it on, and walked out of the prep room. Looking around and noticing that everybody was also getting out, he yawned and continued going to where his class was.

[Now that everybody is done resting and raring to begin this again, we will now announce the next event!]

Staring at the big and long screen that held the events of this, the digital arrow spinning around the roulette started slowing down as it landed on Capture the Flag.

[The next event is Capture the Flag!]

[Capture the Flag is pretty self-explanatory so I don't think I need to explain what the premise is. Anyway, the top student from the last event will be able to choose their team first and the team can only have 4 people]

When Midnight had nothing else to say, every student went dead quiet as they all looked at Izuku, wanting to be on his team since he decimated the last event by himself.

Skimming through the crowd of students who all had a ton of cursed energy building up inside them, his answer to who he was going to pick was obvious.

"The three people I want on my team are Bakugo, Todoroki, and Iida."

Though it appears one of the chosen three was not happy with this choice. "I don't want to be in the same team as that bastard!"

[Sorry, but since he has chosen you as one of his teammates, you will not be able to go against what he has said since those are the rules.]

With him hearing that he couldn't separate from this team, Bakugo glared at the indifferent face Izuku had and gave a loud groan of anger.

[So-!]

-x-X-x-

Now that everyone was done choosing their teammates, Izuku went over to Iida, Todoroki, and the seething Bakugo.

Staring at Iida and everyone else, he gave a low but audible cough. "I'm going to stay near the flag while you all are going to obtain the flags from the other teams."

"Hah?! Why do I have to listen to a bastard like you!" yelled Bakugo.

Crossing his arms while still having the indifferent look on his face, he sighed. "The reason why I can boss you around is that I'm the team leader and because I'm stronger than you."

*Tch!

Opening his eyes and staring at the two rational people in this group he made other than him, they both silently nodded as everybody started going to their stationed location.

With the four of them now standing close to their assigned flag while also trying to see if anybody was close, the three began walking away from the flag as Izuku remained.

Gripping the mid-section of the cold and long pole which held the flag, he stared through the concrete walls made by Cementoss and sensed where everybody was.

[Three! Two! One! Begin!]

Letting go of the cold and long pole since the event had now begun, the three then tensed their muscles as they started searching for flags to capture.

Feeling a little bored since it would take some time for people to come to where he was, he sat down on the stairs to the flag and supported his resting head with his open palm.

Continuously hitting the heel of his foot on the stairs while waiting for someone to take take the flag from him, he heard the sound of multiple footsteps near.

Unhurriedly standing up from the stairs and making a sadistic grin, the two people who were below Izuku backed away in panic as they saw him.

Even though those two knew they were no match for the top student in both academics and strength, both students charged at the Izuku.

Waiting for the two to activate their Quirks so he can see if they were going to be useful to him, one of them isolated him in a weak air barrier while the other used their blood to create a spear.

The one with the air barrier Quirk is useful for trapping people but for someone like him, fighting people head-on is his favorite thing to do, and capturing someone with air is boring since they won't be able to escape if he trains the Quirk.

Looking at the one who had the blood manipulation Quirk, he wondered if he could manipulate the blood inside him to strengthen himself other than making blood weapons.

Playfully shrugging to himself and remembering the face of those two for later if he wanted their Quirks, he broke the air barrier and appeared in front of the terrified two.

Punching away the fragile blood spear with his fist that was coated in cursed energy, he kicked him in the balls, resulting in a quick knockout.

Slowly turning his head to the air barrier Quirk holder for dramatic effect, he moved the leg which kicked the blood Quirk user out from the shivering legs and silently stared at him.

"Are you going to do something?"

As soon as he heard Izuku say that, he turned from where he came from and left his knocked-out teammate on the ground, saving himself from immense pain.

Shaking his head since he did something against him, he went into a position of shooting an arrow as the mild fire made from his cursed energy started constructing.

'I'll just knock him out with this weak flame of mine.' thought Izuku.

Aiming at the running person with both his eyes open while feeling the wind brush across his body, he let go of the flame-shaped arrow and instantly knocked him out.

After the complete decimation of the two, he became bored again since he didn't even give them a chance to defend themselves from his short onslaught.

Grabbing the two by the collar of their shirt and dragging them against a wall so that they could be sent back to their base, he heaved a hoarse sigh.

-x-X-x-

With Iida trying to find where a flag was by himself since the other two had left him alone due to a dispute they had, he finally found where one of the many flags stood.

Sprinting to where the flag stood and evaluating how powerful the two people guarding the flag were, he ran around them multiple times with incredible speed.

Looking to see if he had completely made them dizzy from the speed he showed them since he didn't need to use force to take the flag away, he looked at the unconscious two, stopped, and walked toward the unprotected flag.

'With this, I should immediately go back and capture the flag...'

Feeling like something was off since it was dead silent even though before finding this flag he had heard fighting not long ago, he started running back to base.

Going between teams that were trying to get past each other, at the edge of his vision, he saw a black arm come out of the shadow. Jumping back from the sudden attack and waiting to see if they were going to come out, he continued running.

As he did, the person who was in the shadow kept on trying to steal the flag from him but since Iida was faster and smarter than whoever this was, he began running on the walls which barely had any shadows.

Speeding up since his sense of direction was distorted because of the chase just now, he halted and once again heard no screams of fighting.

Trusting his gut and going down the smallest path out of the three he could choose, he spotted another group ahead of him. Recognizing the two people in front of him, he blitzed past them with the two not even knowing what happened.

"What just passed us?" said the yellow-haired boy who had a black lightning bolt in his hair.

Tilting her head and asking if he was being serious, she irritatedly said, "Kaminari, what do you think?"

"I mean..."

"Let's just hurry up."

-x-X-x-

Still waiting next to his team's flag and looking at all three entrances in anticipation even though he knew no one was coming since he didn't sense any cursed energy closing in on him, he looked up into the bright blue sky.

Unhurriedly putting his back against the concrete floor while maintaining his guard for any sneak attacks to come, all he felt was the comfortable breeze brush along his face and arms.

Closing his eyes to try and imagine he was on top of a hill alone with a lavish tree beside him, he for some weird reason found out that he was someone who closes their eyes a lot.

Heaving out a long sigh of both relaxation and boredom, the sound of footsteps brought him out of it but when he realized the person was just Iida, his boredom went even lower than before.

"Izuku! Why are you not defending the flag?!"

"Well, if you look at the wall beside you, you can see that I've already knocked out two people who tried to take the flag away so be quiet and let me relax in peace, Iida."

Doing what Izuku had said and looking to his right, Iida saw the two knocked-out students laying against the wall with visible terror on their faces.

"But still, that doesn't-"

Before Iida could reprimand what he was doing right now, Izuku instantly appeared behind him which was faster than his eyes could perceive.

"!!!"

"I told you to be quiet, but I guess you can't even listen to one of your classmates if it isn't related to becoming an official hero, yeah? Well, since we are on the same team, I probably won't be doing anything to you so be a good lad and get more flags for the team will ya?"

"..."

After a couple of seconds of silence, Izuku nodded his head in approval as he took his hand off Iida's shoulder, unhurriedly walking back to where the flag was.

Now near his team's flag and glancing at the camera which was focused on him and Iida's scuffle, he waved to the camera with his very veiny hand with a smile.

Done with his little act of friendliness toward the audience, he brought his hand over his nape and started rubbing it in irritation.

'Why am I getting irritated just by saying hi to the audience? Is this also an effect of knowing my power's origin?'

Sliding both of his hands inside his pockets and leaning against the concrete wall, he looked at the rightmost entrance. "Iida, take care of the people at the right door."

"What about you?"

"I'm getting a little bored in this event, so I want to get some flags for us, and in the meantime, you'll be staying here, guarding the flag all by yourself."

Without Iida even being able to rebuke him, Izuku disappeared into the left entrance as he then heard people fighting in the distance.
