Sports Festival 1: Obstacle race

The alarm was heard and all the students crowded into the hall as expected for some.

Except for Oboro, who covered himself with a cloud around him forming some kind of barrier and left the crowd first as he ran quickly.

"We already have the first place and how it was expected! He is the first of the class of heroes!!" High command said quite excited as he watched Oboro run from the booth.

The students were coming out little by little and the entrance was no longer obstructed, making it possible for everyone to see the first places clearly.

But this only lasted until a wine colour shadow passed Oboro taking him by surprise, but also causing him to smile widely.

"Ohhh!! The first place was stolen in an instant!And it is none other than a general studies student!!" High command said in disbelief as the rest of the people were in shock but then showed his excitement and support.

Last laser looked at that young man and could see that this was the young man that Director Nezu had told him about.

'So this is the hidden talent, it will be necessary to see if his talent is enough to have attracted the interest of the director' Last laser thought seriously as he looked at the director Nezu from the corner of his eye and he smiled with satisfaction.

While all this was going on, Nintai was quietly arranging everything in the restaurant for the opening.

Her son had told her about the sports festival, but she was sure he would just sit around in the beginning, so she didn't give it to much importance.

"Nintai-senpai, isn't this your son?" Aoi asked from the countertop as she looked at her computer with excitement and curiosity.

Nintai approached Aoi with curiosity and looked at the computer seeing that it was indeed her son who was in the first place.

"He has wine hair, he is your son right?" Aoi asked quite excited and turning to see Nintai.

But when she turned around, she could see that Nintai was crying tears of happiness upon seeing her son, who had already faced his fears for once after so long.

"Dory-chan, that's what you meant, you really stopped running away from yourself" Nintai said with a big smile as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

But deep down inside Nintai there was a bit of fear too, something that had troubled and haunted her for a long time.

Doryoku was running at a speed of about 90km / h, so he left everyone behind him quickly.

This was a fairly simple and crude ability of his quirk, named by Doryoku as a kinetic body, which was only possible and sustained thanks to Doryoku's bracelet.

It was quite simple, amplify a bit and release energy in his legs, taking a great speed and because he also also absorbed the force of his footsteps, he could technically run infinitely without even making noise.

Doryoku ran seriously and with his gaze straight ahead until he noticed that a cloud was next to him and above it was Oboro smiling happily.

"Hey friend, you do it great, but beating me is not that easy" said Oboro with a big proud smile as he was next to Doryoku.

"Don't worry, even if I won I'll give the prize money to you" Oboro said as he pointed at himself with a smile.

"That would be a nuisance and it would make me feel miserable" Doryoku said with a dark look imagining that terrible outcome.

"That's the point friend" said Oboro with a mocking smile, making Doryoku smile slightly as well.

Doryoku took a big momentum and was instantly ahead of Oboro, who also sped on his cloud to catch up with him.

"The first and second place are side by side!! How exciting what a quality what a great talent!!" High command said quite excited from the booth as the crowd joined him.

After running for a moment more, Doryoku could see a large lake of something black covering a large area of ​​the track in the distance.

"And they found the first obstacle! The tar lake!!" High command said as he was on the edge of his chair just like the rest.

"Don't worry, it's something similar to tar, but no one will set themselves on fire" said Last laser seriously giving a clarification that no one seemed to care about.

Doryoku simply came in front of the tar lake and took a great leap passing over it without much trouble just like Oboro.

Hizashi (who is in third place), looked for some way to pass the tar lake, until he came up with a great idea.

Hizashi circled his hands in front of his mouth, pointed down and...

"Yeahhhhhhh!!!" Hizashi yelled making a huge sound wave and opening the way across the lake that he passed quickly.

"That's it!! Learn how to solve every problem with your quirk and you will be great heroes!" High command said quite satisfied with his students.

"These rookies seem very interesting, I expected no less from the UA" said one of the heroes in the stands with a suit too phosphorescent while those around him nodded in agreement.

Doryoku kept running and encountered the second obstacle, a large mountain almost completely vertical and about 70 meters high.

"Second obstacle students! The great mountain! Can you fly high enough to pass it or don't you have a talent for looking up?!" High command said quite excited to see everyone in front of that mountain.

"Don't worry the sand below is enough to cushion the blow" Last laser said again being ignored by most.

Doryoku took a push and took a great leap of almost 20 meters and grabbed onto the colored stones that marked the path as he continued to climb quickly with the help of his quirk.

"See you Doryoku!" Oboro said using a cloud to fly vertically up the mountain without difficulty.

'Damn you Dragon ball fan' Doryoku thought in annoyance as he continued to quickly climb the mountain.

"The lead is taken again by Oboro Shirakumo!! I taught him everything he knows or so I think!!" High command said loudly, quite passionate and excited just like the rest.

"We've only been in school for a few months" Last Laser thought with blank eyes and shaking his head in disapproval.

Oboro completely climbed the mountain taking a good advantage and continued down the road until he could see the finish line in the distance.

But something that took Oboro by surprise was that the finish line was blocked by a large fan that completely covered the path, in addition to that there were several walls as some kind of covers to approach said fan.

Doryoku also reached the top of the mountain and came down quickly to follow Oboro, noticing and analyzing the situation quickly as well.

Oboro decided to continue with a bit of caution, until the big fan turned on and caused a great gust of wind that took him by surprise and caused his cloud to disappear, throwing him very far back and making Doryoku the first place again.

"And we have the last hurdle!! the gust of wind!!" High command said quite passionately being followed by the crowd.

Doryoku hid behind one of the walls to cover himself from the wind, but the fan only stopped for a short moment and the rest of the time it was a direct pass to the second part of the track.

"This is not just a festival, you must learn to be heroes at all times and every hero must know when he is outmatched and when he needs to think, go back and attack at all times" said Last laser with a serious and explanatory tone, making everyone pay attention this time.

"This is my own idea, I don't care if you want to fly and reach the goal, do your best, think and learn to be a true hero if you really want to be the first place" Last laser said with a warning tone and quite serious.

Director Nezu looked in the Last laser direction with satisfaction at his teaching methods as he thought.

'I was not wrong letting him make his own decisions at the festival, this will only form stronger heroes' thought director Nezu smiling quite satisfied and excited, and then looking at the screen in which was the first place with expectation.

Doryoku for his part took note of the times in which the fan stopped, in addition to taking into account the place of each cover and how far it was from each other.

Doryoku took a deep breath, the fan stopped and he instantly moved to the next coverage before the fan turned on again.

Doryoku repeated this a couple of times until he reached the last cover which was about 60 meters away from the fan.

The fan covered the entrance completely, leaving only a small space to pass underneath in view, but the timing was insufficient even at full speed according to Doryoku's calculations.

The fan had only 1 second of time off every 30 seconds, leaving Doryoku in a quandary about how to get to the end.

"It seems that first place is between a rock and a hard place!! Come on brat your talent is better than that!!" High command said with blank eyes and giving his encouragement totally passionate.

The rest of the students were getting closer and closer to Doryoku making the situation more tense and therefore more and more difficult to concentrate.

Doryoku thought for a moment, until suddenly, he remembered a certain simple but effective move from one of his favorite games that maybe could work.

Doryoku waited for the moment for the fan to stop while he had a clear idea in his mind of how to pass it.

"22, 23, 24, 25..." Doryoku counted out loud just to keep his movement in mind and concentrate as much as possible.

"Oboro Shirakumo is hot on the heels of first place, how exciting!!" High command said quite excited as he recounted the events.

The entire crowd was on the edge of his seat just like Nintai from his work until...

"27, 28, 29, 30!!" Doryoku said counting the seconds and running towards the fan at the exact 29 seconds to take advantage of as much time as possible.

Doryoku got to a little more than halfway there in a second thanks to getting out a little earlier, but then he looked as the fan turned on and began to move slowly.

And at that moment Doryoku took a great momentum with his right leg, he took a little leap forward and made a sweep across the ground putting his right foot in front, passing under the fan just in time.

"Haha! Damn you Castlevania fan" said Oboro with a big excited smile as he watched Doryoku move.

"Look at that movement!! What a delight for future generations!!" High command said with a big smile as he yelled at the top of his lungs causing the crowd to go wild in cheers.

'Not bad, not bad at all' thought Last laser, quite satisfied with the results.

After Doryoku passed, the fan stopped and allowed the rest of the students to pass without any problem.

And Doryoku came out the other side, arriving first at all obstacles and letting out a great sigh of relief as he touched the finish line.

"Doryoku Suzuki ladies and gentlemen!! A great hidden talent in general studies!! Talent can come from anywhere, never forget it!!" High command said quite excited as he gripped his mic and smashed it to pieces.

"Well done boy!! / You did great!!" the people and heroes around said as they cheered towards Doryoku.

But Doryoku was only focused on his bracelet, which gave off a large amount of steam even burning his wrist a bit, causing him to complain a bit about the pain and have to deactivate it.

By deactivating his bracelet, there was still some energy left on his right wrist, so Doryoku shook it a bit causing something interesting to happen.

A kind of slight vibrations came out of Doryoku's right hand, causing him to be a bit surprised by said ability.

After a few seconds Oboro came in second place, followed by Hizashi, some students from class 1-A and in seventh place Aizawa who was not very good physically speaking.

Nintai and Azami as well as the rest of the general studies students arrived later, so they were technically disqualified.

"You beat me friend!! But next time I'll beat you up!" Oboro said with a big smile arriving next to Doryoku.

"I'm still a long way off, look" said Doryoku calmly showing his right wrist which was somewhat burned.

At this, Oboro got a little worried and understood better the limits of his friend putting a more serious face.

"Hey, it's not that bad, with that serious face you look even more idiotic" Doryoku said with a slight mocking smile as he put the subject aside, causing Oboro to have a vein on his forehead.

"Well done Suzuki!! You are stronger than I thought!" Hizashi said approaching both friends with a big smile next to Aizawa.

"Yeah, I guess it was pretty good" Doryoku said with a slight smile as he hid his right hand in his pocket.

Oboro understood Doryoku's reasons, so he didn't say anything about the side effects and kept quiet.

Aizawa was already beginning to suspect something from seeing Oboro so quiet, but at the moment he didn't have much to work with.

"The first 31 entrants! Please come to me to explain about the next competition" Director Nezu said with his typical adorable smile and his microphone next to Ectoplasm.

The quartet of idiots said their goodbyes to Azami and Mirai, then walked over to Director Nezu along with the remaining 31 students.

And with this the first part of the sports festival ends.

"Come on Dory-chan kick the idiots!!" Nintai said with enough happiness and excitement to see that her son came to first place.

There was still half an hour until the opening, so Aoi decided to do Nintai's chores to let her observe her son for a longer time.

"She has been working here for almost 15 years and I have never seen her so excited" Hiro said as he smiled widely at Nintai's excitement.

"You are right, I'm glad to see her like this" said Aoi also smiling next to him as she continued cleaning and arranging everything of her.

Yay!
