Sports Festival I
A/N: I'd like to apologize ahead of time for not knowing how to write proper fights. Encase you see some shit writing. I'll probably consider editing the chapter to make more sense by reading any suggestions.
------------------------------------
The date with Kyoka remained in my head all night, I couldn't stop thinking about her. Though I haven't completely lost control there's been some slips from 'him', the other two I don't have to worry about seeing as the third only cares to protect the second.
Hagakure: "Did you guys watch the news? I didn't stand out at all"
Kaminari: "All the channels made a big deal about it though didn't they"
Kyoka: "Can you blame them though? The hero course pumping out pro heroes was attacked"
"Wonder what would've happened if All Might wasn't there or if he was lat-"
Mineta: "STOOOP ESCANOR!!! THINKING ABOUT IT IS MAKING ME SHIT MYSELF--"
"SHUT UP"
Ida: "EVERYONE, class is about to START. Stay SILENT and sit DOWN"
"We are"
Ida: "Dammit"
Ashido: "Who do you guys think is going to be our homeroom teache-?"
Someone then walks in, interrupting Ashido while looking like a mummy.
Aizawa: "Morning"
Ida: "Mr. Aizawa! Are you all right?"
Aizawa: "My well being doesn't matter. We have more important matters to discuss, the U.A. Sports Festival is drawing near."
Kyoka: "Is it okay to have a sports festival right after the villains snuck inside?"
Aizawa: "They'll think of it as U.A. showing how good our crisis management is by holding the event. Security will also be strengthened five times more, the sports festival is not an event to be canceled because of a few villains, this is an opportunity to be noticed by pro heroes, three chances is all you have."
Kaminari: "After graduation it's typical to join a pro hero agency as a side kick"
"You'll be one"
Kaminari: "Come on man.."
Kyoka: "I think so too, since you're dumb"
Kaminari: "Not you too"
Aizawa: "Your time is limited so make sure you give it all you've got. Class is dismissed"
[-LUNCH-]
My time to feast has ARRIVED, everyone else wants to chat about standing out and making an impression to be selected by high ranking pro heroes, but not me. Making my way to the cafeteria I left them all behind. Today is the day the food kingdom kneels before ME!
About thirty minutes later I saw the rest of the class making their way to get some food. I sat alone in one of the tables in the far corner next to the giant windows. I don't want to talk with anyone right now.
TIK
4: 'Looking at them, what do you see?'
'I don't know, but seeing them smile makes me happy.'
4: 'This world is divided with chaos in the shadows and in the light.'
'I don't understand'
4: 'What's there not to understand boy? Can you not see the discrimination all over? Can you not see the pain, suffering, and futility these people inflict on each other? Let me take control. Let me unify this world. Let me give them peace. Let them know pain.'
'Doing so would only make things worse!'
4: 'You know the possible future. War is humanity's natural state, inflicting pain of such magnitude will force them to reflect and seek true peace.'
'We both know this isn't going to do any good. We know first hand what it feels to be alone, to suffer at the hands of another, and to inflict that same pain unto someone else.'
4: 'Maybe not now, maybe not later, but in time you will see. You'll see how this world has divided itself so much.'
'Even if that's the case, who are we to play God?'
4: 'Spend more time in the streets, not the sky'
TIK
Kyoka: "HEllooooooo"
.-.
Kaminari: "He's just like me"
"Sorry, I was blanking out"
Kyoka: "Right, I've been trying to get your attention almost all lunch, our next class is about to start in five minutes" (Holds out five fingers to indicate)
Kirishima: "Jeez man, it's UNMANLY to not finish your food bro"
'FUCK'
----------------------------------------
Class has already ended and I'm sad, depressed, and tired. Too busy dealing with the fourth and not learn perhaps what I consider to be the most important order, INFINITE FOOD, like an INFINITE HOT DOG.
Suddenly, a dim light took place in the palm of my hand, no one noticed seeing as they were all gathered at the door. The light took the shape of something long, soft, and thick! I can SEE IT, this SHAPE, I WANT IT!!!!!
Taking a bite out of it I smiled in delight, alas, I finally mastered my ultimate move. It wasn't like I could've totally done this any time I wanted to and simply convinced myself to think that I needed to work hard for it even if I didn't need to.
Although I did notice something, most of the playfulness and teasing wasn't simply ME doing it, it was the second's influence, a child.
Bakugo: "Scouting the enemy, small fry. We made it out of the villain's attack so they want to check us out. There's no point in doing stuff like that. Now move extras"
"Great already making enemies and giving us a bad rep." (bites hotdog)
"Yummers"
?: "I came here to see those of class 1A, but seeing him I'm getting disillusioned, is all of 1A like this? Get ahead of yourselves and I'll sweep your feet from the ground, I came with a declaration of war"
??: "HEY HEY, I'M FROM CLASS B NEXT DOOR. I HEARD YOU FOUGHT VILLAINS SO I CAME TO HEAR BOUT' IT. DON'T GET SO FULL OF YOURSELF."
'Loud'
??: "YOU SURE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BITE AS MUCH AS YOU BARK!?!?!"
Bakugo wasn't listening and turned to leave.
Bakugo: "It doesn't matter, as long as you rise to the top"
??: "HEY DON"T IGNORE ME"
Tokoyami: "There is TRUTH in his words"
"WOW, for the first time I somewhat agree with BAKUGO HA HA HA"
Kaminari: "WAIT ESCANOR, don't fall for it"
"Too LATE KAMINARIIIIII"
Kaminari: "Nooooooo"
------------------ ---------------------
The sports festival begins in two weeks and I only just received my second order back. For seventy-two hours (three days) I've been stuck with one order so this got me thinking, why don't I permanently alter my quirk factor? My only concern is that once I do it my third order wouldn't come back and it'll stay stuck in the same amount of days left for it to return because it doesn't recognize the new quirk.
I've also been thinking of creating a pocket dimension, if I can pull something from another world temporarily and stop time itself then I can surely create an independent section of space and time to use. Or perhaps I can permanently alter my physical body to receive the Sharingan, specifically Obito's Mangekyo, this way I can phase through things and have my own pocket dimension. I could even make it so I can copy emitter, transformation, and accumulation type quirks permenantly. I'm overthinking it.
This brings me to Neito Monoma, he's the only one that can truly pose a threat to us… me. Though he could copy ORDER he wouldn't know how to use it as he'd need to be told by me or someone else, unless he unintentionally discovers how through a need or want. Despite all that I still want him to learn how to use ORDER, as a countermeasure. I wonder if a class transfer is possible?
-------------------------------------------
TWO WEEKS LATER
The time for the festival has finally arrived. To keep things fair we were told to wear our gym uniform in place of our hero costumes. We're all gathered in a room so we can wait to be called out as a class.
Todoroki: "Objectively speaking, I'm stronger than you, but you've catched All Might's eye. I'm going to beat you"
Kaminari: "A Declaration of War!?!"
Midoriya: "I don't know what it is you're thinking when you say you'll beat me, but you're certainly better than me. You're more capable than most of us, but everyone else is aiming for the top with everything they've got. What I'm saying is that I'll give it all I've got too."
While they went on with their conversation I took pride in the fact that I succeeded in permanently changing my quirk factor. Two days ago my third order returned, taking longer than three days to do so. If I were to empty one slot then it would take three days to return, if I were to empty a second slot then it would take nine days.
If this were to happen with my last slot then I'm either rendered quirkless or it would take twenty-seven days to return, but if I allowed one order to return and used it up again without having all three then that slot would take twenty seven days to return.
Anyways the alteration was me being able to copy any quirk and keep it permanently as my own. Previously I'd need to use an ORDER to do that. The requirements are still the same: knowing the name of the quirk and seeing it in action.
----------------------------------------------
Present Mic: "HEEEY"
Crowd: "HEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!!!"
Mic: "Pay attention, audience!"
Mic: "This year's high school rodeo of adolescence that you all LOVE, the U.A. SPORTS FESTIVAL IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!!!!!"
Mic: "FIRST YEARS"
Upon being called we made our way out the tunnel into the spotlight with the hero Present Mic hyping everyone up as all the departments came out one after another. Once all of us were out we gathered together in front of the small stage with a microphone on it. The R-Rated Hero: Midnight was on it.
Midnight: "Quiet EVERYONE. Representing the students is ESCANOR from class 1-A"
'Me? I did finish first in the entrance exams'
Kyoka: "You got this!" (Slight whisper)
What should I say? My heart's racing, I've never been in front of so many people.
Stepping up the platform and towards the microphone I prepared myself.
"Well, being honest and upfront, I'll have to say I don't know where to start."
…
"We've all endured many challenges and pushed ourselves past our limits to get this far, now's the time to show off our hard work. One step closer to becoming a pro."
"My pledge to you is that we'll all go beyond our limits today, against, and with each other."
"Remember, You're The Real Heroes"
Nothing but silence all around, but slowly one clap started from the left, and then the right. The crowd cheered and bellowed in excitement. Some of the students in the other departments had a change of heart at the humbleness while others saw it as even more of a reason to dislike 1-A. I stepped down afterwards and let Midnight take the microphone.
"Least he's humble"
"YEAAAAAAAAH"
"WE'RE THE REAL HEROES"
"WE'RE THE REAL HEROES"
"WE'RE THE REAL HEROES"
Mic: "YEAAAAAH! WHAT A WONDERFUL SPEECH"
Midnight: "Now then, why don't we get started? The first game is what you call a qualifier. Many drink their tears here EVERY YEAR"
As soon as Midnight finished her part the wheel behind her started spinning, with its landing not being what I expected.
Mic: "The first game is a BATTLE ROYALE. HERE EVERYONE WILL FACE OFF AGAINST EACH OTHER. THE LAST 42 COMBATANTS WILL ADVANCE TO THE SECOND ROUND"
We were all gathered in the arena five feet apart from each other. It's a good thing I can use the quirks I've seen prior to altering my quirk factor, those being all of class 1-A's. Including One for All, though I didn't get any of the stock piling acquired from the previous users, not that it would matter though.
I'm interested in having Monoma obtain ORDER, see if he can handle it.
Mic: "OKAAAY, GET READY FOR THE COUNTDOWN"

--------------------------------------
Chaos
That was all I gathered from everyone falling, blasting, ramming, freezing, controlling, and being pushed out of bounds. Not wasting another second I used Zero-Gravity and Explosion to propel myself into anyone in front of me. Itsuka Kendo was my first victim, enlarging her fist in an attempt to slam me into the ground.
Kendo: "That was a good spee-"
Boom
While she talked I blasted her in the face, similar to what Bakugo did back in battle training to Midoriya. This stunned her for a few seconds before some kid from Gen ed. tried to take advantage of the situation, that is until I blasted his ass out of bounds. This process was repeated over and over again. The way one would be disqualified is through taking the ribbon strapped unto them or being out of bounds. So I effectively disintegrated some of them with heat vision, though I toned it down so as to not harm anyone.
Of course, when Bakugo noticed he immediately shifted his attention to me.
Bakugo: "WHO GAVE YOU the RIGHT to use MY QUIRK!!"
"Me"
As soon as he got close enough I grabbed him by the leg from underneath as he tried to blast me with his right, bringing him close and unleashing three small explosions on his stomach causing him to back away with a grunt.
Not going for a direct confrontation we both aimed our palms against each other, followed by two large explosions that canceled out, but the shock waves remained and forcefully knocked over some other contestants into the ground.
Then ice spread all over the ground underneath me, Todoroki. He seriously thinks he can stand a chance with just his ice. Immediately my left side lights up causing a not so friendly reaction to spread over his face. My fire won and so I'll mock him for it.
"What's wrong Sho-"
BOOM BOOM BOOM
'Fucking Bakugo'
That actually hurt.
'BODY ENHANCEMENT x20'
Quickly while he's still on top of me I-
Ice encases my legs and goes up to my waist, of course I break out of it with ease but it's fucking annoying that these two want to face me already. Like please take turns and let me carry out my experiment with Monoma. They're teaming up against me.
'They realized I'm a bigger threat than anyone else'
Todoroki creates an ice wall around us, encasing us inside and leaving everyone e else outside. Of course, it wasn't long before Bakugo blasted him in the face for trying to steal his light.
Looking around I realize why, everyone but Bakugo, Todoroki, and me were out.
'Damn, here I thought they were both going to have some early character development'
"QUIRK NULLIFIER WAVE"
Bakugo: "EAT THis.. da fuq?"(Fails to activate Explosion)
"Your quirks are inactive from now on"
As if to test out my words, Todoroki tries to send a wave of ice but nothing comes.
"I'd give up"
Bakugo: "You think I n-"
Without letting bakugo finish I rammed both of them individually through the ice and out of bounds.
Mic: "ESCANOR TAKES FIRST PLACE"
