Sports Festival - 1

[ UA Stadium ][ 3rd person POV ]

NPC A: "I heard this year's students are stronger."

NPC B: "Yeah and I heard they got to fight and defeat real villains."

NPC A: "But I heard it was only one student who fought all of them"

NPC B: "How's that even possible? Maybe it's those twins, Endeavor's sons"

NPC A: "It'll be interesting to watch this year's students."

[ Student's lounge ] [ Ao's POV ]

Everyone appears to be nervous. You'd be correct, right? Every famous hero will be watching your moves to see if you are qualified to be hired in the future. You'd also like your idol to notice you and choose you.

It doesn't really matter to me or Shoto because we're going to our father's agency. But, if a certain sexy hero invites me, forget about dad; even All Might won't be enough to persuade me. Why work and live with a muscular man when you can work and live with a sexy bunny? Umm.

But it's becoming less and less likely. I asked All Might if he knew her, but he just smiled and said, "Even if I personally go to her and recommend you, she will still reject it." My hopes were dashed even before I realized it.

I missed shit talks with other classes. Students from another class apparently came to shit talk about us (or me) fighting Villains and such, but I was in a hurry to meet with Nezu about All Might's condition and preparations. It would have been awkward to shit talk with children, but still.

Shoto approached me and said, "Nii-san, I know I can't win against you, but I'm not going to hold back anything." I also don't want you to be hesitant. At least not while you're battling me."

He said something so cool in front of so many people. Like bro were you the protagonist of this story or that Green-boy cause I think his condition is more suitable for this world if I'm not in the wrong place at the very least.

"But Shouto-chan might get hurt, you know," I said as I smiled at him. "I don't want to be chastised by mom. She'll come to watch as well."

"I already talked to her and she said it's ok unless either of us get seriously hurt."

"Sure then. But let's make it more interesting." I smiled with evil written on my face.

"Like what?" Shoto asked.

"A bet. If you make me use my temperature control against you, I'll take you seriously, else you are going to call me onii-san for the rest of our lives. Deal?" I am so gonna win this.

Shoto looked at me and said, "Sure. But there is no loss for you if you use it. I'm not saying I can win after all, you can even injure father when you go all out so what if you lose?"

"Shoto-chan i--" I was gonna say something but he interrupted me.

"Don't ever call me chan or tease me. If I can make you use it, you won't tease me ever. Deal?"

"Haha. Sure, why not. Cause at the end i'm going to have you say onii-chan after all." I said with a smug

"You said -san previously." he frowned.

"And I changed it." I grinned at him.

"A-Ao-san, I also wish you could fight me with your 100%.", Green-boy said.

"Huh? No. I'm not getting anything out of it anyways. And you don't have anything to give me." I said. I mean he is powerful but if I just stay still while he punches, it's not gonna do anything to me.

"But if I can make you use 100% then will you call me by my name?" he said with determination.

I looked at him, trying to figure out what this moron was saying. Then he began to employ his quirk which produced some sparks. "I didn't understand what you were saying for two weeks, so I spent day and night thinking about it. But when I got it - the sensation of stopping the gear and being able to control my quirk... I can finally fight without breaking," his body began to glow. "And it's all because of your advice."

He is not hopeless after all. I was disappointed in All Might for picking him, but I understand his motivation.

"Sure. Come at me with everything you've got. But if you can't make me, I'll call you a dimwit until you can. The same is true for you, Bakugo. If you don't want a strange nickname, give your best. At the very least, give me the rush of a competition." My enthusiasm appears to have manifested my will, and they appear to become agitated. My CH began to manifest, but it was very weak. But enough to make my point loud and clear.

After a few moments, Present Mic summoned us to the stage.

Were there really that many classes? I, J, and K - almost everyone is wearing glasses.

In the front was Itsuki-chan. She joined that club a month before that incident. She looks hot. Puberty hit her like a truck huh.

Midnight is the event's host. Oh, how happy I am to be standing here watching her breas-- giving instructions.

Midnight looked at me and said, "This year's student representative is Todoroki Ao from class 1-A."

'Huh? This is the first time I've heard of it. Why should I? Is it because I'm too good? Is it a sin to be attractive?' I chuckled to myself.

'But what should I say?' I asked myself as I progressed towards the main stage. 'Oh, yes.'

"I pledge to be number one." And whoever can persuade me to remove this eyemask in a challenge, I'll grant any of your wishes.

Don't worry, I'm rich, or rather, my dad is." I proudly declared, a good amount of CH in my voice.

It was enough to cause a few people to kneel, but nothing serious.

[ In an apartment ]

The live telecast was being watched by a sexy MILF or rather grandma. "Heh brat, I'll break your legs if you unmask it on anyone."

[ UA Stadium ] [ Ao's POV ]

No one yelled like I expected.

Perhaps using CH was a bit excessive, but...

"BOOOOOOOOO!!

"Shut up, you stupid fuck."

"Who do you think you are?"

'Heh. For a brief moment, I was concerned.' Our battle would be decided at random. When it was decided, I didn't think it was at all random.

Obstacle course race.

That is, they want to cut the volume of participants. Why not? I'm perfectly fine with it as well. All you have to do is come out first, and everything will be fine

--

We're preparing for the race.

Some are exercising lightly, while others are adjusting their breathing.

Everyone is concentrating.

Shoto is staring at me from afar.

We decided to keep our distance from one another so that we wouldn't get caught up in each other's attacks.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beeeep*

Shoto launched a wide-ranging attack that froze everyone's legs, including mine, but mine was up to my waist.

'His control has improved, and he used a smart strategy,' I smiled.

'But'.

I forced myself out by covering my legs with blue flames.

I just used it to push myself upwards. I didn't use it to melt it or anything, just used it's force to propel myself towards the air.

I reached Shoto in a matter of seconds. Seeing that I was close sent out a large spike of ice. Sharp.

I coated my fist with flames and punched hard. The ice crumbled.

"Shouto, it lacks density." Saying this I flew past him. I could hear Bakugo's voice and a small purple ball-like thing running which I ignored.

I reached the next obstacle. It was the same zero points and some other points. I just flew past it at a very high speed. I looked back at shoto and saw him freezing the robots. Cool. Like literally.

Midoriya started running fast through the gaps with his quirk. He still doesn't seem to have perfect control of his quirk but is slowly getting the hang of it.

Like I thought, for class 1-A this shouldn't pose much problem. I flew at 50% of my total speed which is quite fast already. And reached the next obstacle. The Fall.

And no suspense here. I crossed the rest of the obstacles the same way. I turned back to see what others were doing.

Shoto was using his flames to copy me though slower while Ash-hair-kun was propelling himself with the same principle but much slower. Green-boy is actually keeping up with Shouto.

After a minute or two everyone reached the end.

"As expected of Endevor-san's sons, the elder one is first while the younger one is second. Plus, Ao is even standing there and looking at his competition like a king", Present Mic complimented me which puts a smile on my face.

This got everyone's attention. Even the students looked at me. I grinded and said, "Slow". Which pissed everyone, especially Ash-kun.

[ 3rd person's POV ]

It was safe to say that Shouto was the most pissed.

He and Ao started training at the same time. Even if Ao was raised by two monsters, their grandma and that blind club master, he also tried his hardest.

Even then he could never come close to his own brother. They were twins, his own quirk could be used much longer than Ao's. Though Ao's quirk seemed superior, he knew that if Ao had his quirk, Ao would still not lose.

Ao's greatest power was not his OH, CH or his Logia, even his healing were secondary compared to his control and understanding of his own quirk, they had their own advantage but they could never rival Ao's pure control. Ao's flames could easily hurt himself when he isn't using eyes, hell it could burn down steels in a minute. Not melt but burn.

But despite all that he had perfect control. Like it was a part of him. He had seen his brother hurt himself many times. Since he could heal he didn't care about herning himself anyways. The painful cries and burnt smell and his mother's cry were always reminding him of the greatness of his brother.

Shouto was always confident in himself but when he compared to his brother, he always felt like he hadn't given his all.

Even his own father said to never compare himself with Ao as a standard.

"Shoto. Your quirk was what I wanted to push you to be the number 1 hero, but seeing your brother I have given up on that idea."

"Even if you can surpass All Might, you'll never surpass your brother. Maybe if you can have absolute control of your quirk and can mix it someday like Ao suggested - if that even possible then I can't be sure, but as you are now, it's impossible. Try to reach him, but never make him your standard as top. Your brother is a monster in human flesh. His quirk itself is a manifestation of a Myth and a monster."

That day was one of the longest his father ever talked to any of family members and it was all about his elder brother. Though he always knew it, he didn't want to accept it, his brother always woke him up from his illusions. Other's definition and standard of strength was All Might, but to Shoto, it was Ao.
