Chapter 51: Sport Festival Part 1

[Third Person's PoV] 

As school came to an end and everyone was preparing to leave, they were met with a hoard of students from different departments waiting outside their doors, taking most of them by surprise.

"What is going on!?" Uraraka asked as she opened the door.

"There's no way out. What are they even doing here?" Mineta mumbled.

Bakugo, seeing this, scoffed, "Isn't it obvious? They're here to scope out the competition, duh. 'Cause we're the kids who survived the villain attack. Makes sense they'd want to check us out."

Tony then walked up front with a hand over Melissa's shoulders, wearing sunglasses indoors and sporting an arrogant look. "Alright, alright, everyone! Calm down! I'll sign the autographs, bring them here!" 

He motioned with his free hand while walking past Bakugo, who looked at him in annoyance. His annoyance grew as he saw some actually pass Tony things to sign.

"I better not see these for sale online, I'll sue," Tony teased.

"Move out of the way, you extra cannon fodders!" Bakugo yelled.

"Please stop calling people 'extras' and 'cannon fodders.' It'll give us a bad rep, not to mention that's not how heroes are supposed to act," Iida said, moving his arms robotically.

"It's true that we came to have a look, but you guys sure are modest. Are all of you like that, or is it just him?" someone said from the back. He slowly came to the front of the crowd, revealing purplish hair with bags under his eyes.

"Gotta say, I'm a little disillusioned if this is all you're offering. Those of us who didn't make the hero course are stuck in general studies and other tracks. There are quite a few of us, actually."

"So where do you want me to sign?" Tony asked with a marker in hand.

Shinso only tilted his head in confusion.

"You're a fan, right?" Tony smirked as he twirled the pen in his hand. "I mean, you must be. Here you are complaining about being stuck in general studies and not making the hero course. But you see, I'm quirkless and I still made it. So I must be a huge inspiration for you guys."

Shinso narrowed his eyes at Tony. "With the way you're behaving, I take it all of Class 1-A is arrogant and it wasn't only him. Do you know that depending on the results of the sports festival, they might consider transferring some of us to the hero course? Of course, the reverse is also possible for you."

Tony lifted his glasses and looked surprised before turning to Mineta. "You hear that, Mineta? Your spot can be taken. You better train hard."

"What!? Why mine!? That's just mean, you rich bastard!" Mineta glared at Tony with a scared expression.

Tony just let his glasses fall back to his face, and Melissa covered her mouth lightly, trying not to laugh.

Shinso just looked around the classroom at all of Class 1-A. "I wasn't talking about a singular person. This was a warning to everyone. This is the perfect chance to knock you off your pedestal. Consider this a declaration of war."

'This guy is so intense,' most of them thought.

"Alright, Aizawa's secret love child, if you're done with your little speech, please move out of the way. Some of us actually have something useful to do with our time available. Well, unless you still need me to sign something. If that's the case, I'll ask again, where do I sign?" he said, emphasizing every word and twisting his marker again with a smirk.

'Tony is just as intense! Please stop riling him up,' they all secretly wished.

Someone from the crowd then shouted, "Hey, I'm from Class 1-B next door! I heard you guys fought villains and wanted to find out more! But all I'm seeing are arrogant bastards!"

'Another one,' they all lamented.

"You guys better not make fools of the hero course at this thing!"

"Says Class 1—"

Everyone from Class 1-A jumped in and covered Tony's mouth, even Melissa joined in covering his mouth.

Seeing Tony's confused look, they all then shouted, "PLEASE STOP MAKING US ENEMIES!!"

Bakugo just walked up to the mob of people and started forcing them apart.

"And what are you doing!?" They asked.

"Leaving. I don't care what they have to say. All I'm doing is heading for the top. Nothing else should matter," Bakugo calmly said.

...

After a bit of difficulty, they all soon began exiting the school. Momo, Mina, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Jiro were seen with Tony and Melissa. Jiro recently joined after getting closer with Momo and Kaminari after the villain attack.

"Why do you like to antagonize people?" Melissa asked, shaking her head in amusement 

"One, their response is always funny. And two, I'm bored of always winning. I need more enemies in my life."

"Yeah, but do we need to be implicated as well?" Momo asked with an awkward expression.

"Yes, yes you do. After all, the only way to grow is through the challenges placed in front of you. As the class president, it is my job to make sure you all receive those challenges."

"Huh!? Was that the real reason you were making enemies for us left and right?" Mina asked in surprise.

"Yup!" Tony smiled as he gave her a peace sign with his tongue slightly out of his mouth.

"Man, the way you work and think is scary," Kaminari said, shaking his head, with Jiro nodding in agreement.

"I see, so they are a way for us to grow stronger. Awesome," Kirishima said, sounding excited.

"Not awesome. I don't want to make enemies out of everyone," Mina said worriedly.

"Too bad," Tony said as he snapped his fingers towards her before getting on his bike.

"Can I come with you guys? Your place is the best place to train for the upcoming sports festival," Momo asked.

"Sure, just hop on," Tony said, motioning behind Melissa, who had her arms wrapped around him.

"No, I'll just follow you in my limo," Momo shook her head.

Tony just handed her his helmet. "Stop being such a wuss and hop on already."

Momo sighed as she reached down to her leg and pulled out a helmet.

"Right… you can do that… I forgot," Tony said as he put on his helmet and Momo went and sat behind Melissa.

Tony then looked at the others and saw their looks, causing him to rest his arms on the handles of his bike and sigh. "You guys want to come but don't want to seem like a bother or a nuisance by asking me, don't you?"

They all began blushing, pretty embarrassed for being caught. Tony wasn't bothered and had an amused look at their embarrassment as he rolled his eyes.

"Fine, Momo has been the only other person that has come over, so it could be fun. But it has to be tomorrow, so I can prepare some things. Friday, send them the address."

All of their phones then chimed as Tony made his motorcycle roar. He lowered his visor as he looked towards them. "Remember, tomorrow. Be there or be square," he said as he began driving away.
