20: Heroic run

Heroic run

Nemuri didn't give us even a second's respite, announcing the start of the first stage right after my speech. The judge was actively waving her whip in front of the children. And I think the first test will be designed to eliminate most of the first-year students.

"Well, let's start the selection tests!" - Midnight said cheerfully. - "A lot of kids died here in tears. And this year the first test will be…"

Kayama paused dramatically for a moment before pointing at the stadium's large screen.

"It's an obstacle course!"

The same phrase appeared on the screen.

In fact, I've already considered how this test might work. I wasn't worried about my victory. I don't think there's anyone faster at the Academy. Unless it's some special speed quirk. In any case, I was more concerned with the girls. How will they pass the test? Technically, I can carry all three of them on my own, but that would be indecent. I mean, I'm just humiliating the girls themselves.

"All 11 classes of the first year participate in this race. The track is four kilometers around the stadium. And, of course, the freedom of action extends to this test. You can do whatever you want to win as long as you stay on the track. Use your quirks. And now, it's time to start... to START!"

A huge mechanical gate opened to the side, leading to the track.

"Girls, can you handle it?" I asked my friends.

"Ha, don't underestimate us, we'll show you what we can do." I Say Aside.

"That's right!"

A beep sounded through the stadium.

"ATTENTION!" Nemuri shouts in anticipation.

And a new signal, longer and nastier than the previous one.

"MARCH!"

Still, I couldn't resist playing along with my friends a little. The entrance to the track was too small for our entire crowd of eleven classes. But I didn't rush right away and went through the gate almost on a par with everyone else. Naturally, there was a terrible crush in such a narrow passage. But since no one could move me by force, I became a living obstacle, due to which some of my classmates had a chance to get ahead at the start.

But not everyone thought about helping others.

"Ah, damn it! What the hell?"

The ground is icy, covered with a crust of slippery ice. Todoroki surged forward, turning the road itself into an obstacle. Many people began to slip and fall, and some of their feet were completely frozen to the floor.

"Todoroki-San, you bastard!" Ashido said with amused indignation.

She was also frozen to the floor, but the girl quickly coped with this thanks to her acid. But Ochako jumped up in time and then managed to keep her balance on the ice, sliding on it through the entire passage.

"Ha, you can't get away from us that easily!" I hurried to catch up with the ice Prince.

And not just me. Maybe this is how the experience of a combat encounter affects, or our class itself was so good, but many of my classmates themselves easily coped with the freezer trap. Yaoyorozu almost used reflexes to grow a pole out of her hand, using which she avoided the moment of freezing by jumping up and jumping over the ice zone. Many also managed to avoid freezing their feet to the floor by simply jumping up in time. Aoyama is immediately clocked my Blaster at the same time jerked forward and hitting on one of the Laggards. Hunta played spider-man, shooting his ribbons at the walls of the passage and flying along them like a bungee jump. You don't even need to talk about Asui, she's such a hopscotch girl. Denki held a discharge and not only broke the ice on his feet, but also knocked out a dozen competitors. Foliage scattered surrounded his pupils shadow, and with her help jumped high, crossing the danger zone. These are the ones I noticed, but I don't know about the others. And then there's Bakugou…

"You can't run away from me, two-face!" – Roared Bakugo, forging ahead on a blast.

And, the fact that his explosions threw other students only in a plus. After all, Katsuki flies forward, and they are thrown back. True, this also hindered our progress, but they were already used to Bakugou and were better able to cope with its explosions.

"Of course, many of our class passed." - The guy sighed, looking around. – "But there are a lot more of you than I expected."

And all this on the run. We had already gone some distance, and the first obstacle appeared ahead of us.

"Hey! This trick won't work with me Todoroki!" Mineta yelled, rushing with all His might, throwing his sticky balls forward along the way.

He was so focused on chasing the freezer That he didn't notice the obstacle jump up to him.

"Grapes..." the little man Started to say something, but was interrupted by a blow from a metal claw.

These were the "villain" drones from the entrance exam. And one of them just now crushed Shorty Minoru a little with a powerful manipulator kick. But they were flowers, there were only a couple of such small drones. The main obstacle was a dozen zero villains, the same giant robots, one of which was on the exam and almost ran Ochako over.

"Where did they get the money for all this?" Momo said, dumbfounded.

"And that's what you're saying?" I chuckled.

A girl who is able to create various high-tech items with the help of her quirk.

"Okay, don't miss me, but I ran ahead." I wave to the girls.

And, slightly crouching in a sprint start position, I break forward with a rocket, once again reminding others why I chose the nickname "Thunder"for myself. The powerful shock wave knocked some of my classmates away, but they managed to prepare themselves and no one was injured. Most importantly, the roaring tornado scattered the robots standing in my way. However, not everyone was scattered. They are too big and massive. Thanks to my rush, only a few students were able to follow before the steel titans once again blocked the others ' path. I rushed for a few moments to create a wave, but then slowed down to assess the effect produced.

"I'll catch up with you, you fucking bastard!" Katsuki's desperate wail sounded in the distance.

But then I couldn't hear any more, as I sped up again, breaking the sound barrier. That is, the screams of the Laggards simply did not have time to reach me, I was faster.

In a few moments, I was on my way to the next obstacle. A large canyon with lots of rocks connected by a rope. Obviously, they created this obstacle with the help of a very interesting quirk. But if it was an obstacle for anyone else, it certainly wasn't for me. It wasn't difficult to jump the entire canyon at once. Only, I didn't run any further. It was now clear that there was no one in my freshman year with a speed quirk fast enough to beat me. So, I could afford to relax a bit and see how others would handle this challenge.

I was also a little afraid that one of my girls might fall off the rope and fall down. Well, not only from mine…

However, I didn't regret this decision. In addition, there was a lot to see. I had to wait for the race leaders for about a minute. And then…

"Yahoo! These are my super-cute babies!"

The second leader of the race, the mad technician Hatsume Mei, appeared.

As a support student, she was allowed to use her own inventions. And she gave the heat. The basic model of the exoskeleton without armor, but with climbing equipment and a levitating boots. By the way, the very concept of the exoskeleton girl, you can say, tested on me. And it was thanks to these lotions that she could develop simply insane speed. No Todoroki, no Rakugo, just couldn't keep up with her.

So, completely ignoring the ropes, he used the cat hook to jump over several rocks at once. So, in a couple of jerks, she overcame the entire canyon.

"Mae, that was awesome! You're just great." I expressed my admiration.

"Ha! I hope the tech companies watching the festival think the same!"

Now I'm the second one.

Even though the girl answered me, she only slowed down slightly to do this, and then drove forward again at full speed. It's no big deal, I can easily catch up with her and get around her. In the meantime, I'll keep watching. Zuzu was right behind Mei. The guy immediately ran up on the rope line and quickly walked through the canyon. But here his quirk is not an assistant, purely due to excellent coordination and a sense of balance, he coped. Following behind him was Asui, for whom this obstacle was not an obstacle. Ashido repeated Todoroki's feat, yet she is the most trained girl in our group. Ochako had the advantage of a suitable quirk, she zeroed out her weight and easily walked the rope with her hands. Yaoyorozu doesn't have any problems here.

"Hey, what are you doing up here?" Mina asked, running up to me.

"I just want to see how the others are doing." I answer her. – Yes, and the test is dangerous, suddenly who will suffer?

"Hah... well, you... damn ... give…"

I responded with a gentlemanly bow, taking off my imaginary hat.

"As it is. Oh! That's what I was talking about."

Bakugou, as always, broke through without looking back at anyone. And from the next explosion of it, the cute Toru fell off the rope. Yes, she was invisible, but she was wearing a sports uniform, so it was hard to lose sight of her. There was no way her quirk could save the girl from this situation. In General, it is unlikely that the organizers wanted to kill someone with this test, but she may well be injured. In the presence of a healing girl, the Academy could allow such a risk.

"Hey, how are you?" I picked up the falling girl, smiling.

"Oh, I..." the girl Tried to answer, but then I pushed off from one of the rocks. "Kyaaaaa!"

It was more fun than any other amusement ride. Hagakure clung to me desperately, allowing me to appreciate the pleasant softness of her body. And the girl's Breasts are quite worthy of attention. And the fact that it is not visible, only inflames the desire to explore the girl's body by touch.

"You don't have to thank me." - I say to my classmate, putting her on the ground. – "Save the puppies out of trouble is my hobby, nothing special."

"I'm sorry... "

"Come on, Nemuri-Chan said that you can do anything, so you can also help other participants."

"Izuku! You'll lose like this!" Ochako shouted at me, already far ahead of me.

"Yeah, right, sorry Toru-Chan, I still have to go around to the finish line, so I ran."

Leaving half-invisible, I finally returned to the game.

Without exceeding the speed of sound, so as not to scatter all the participants from the track, I rushed forward. This speed was still more than enough to beat all possible opponents. You know, it's quite nice to run so fast that the wind blows in your face. You feel like a superhuman being. Oh, right…

In a matter of seconds, I broke away from the main mass of runners.

Now you can see the third and last obstacle on the track. Cool minefield! Mei-Chan was steeply ahead of the others and the mines didn't react to her, because thanks to her boots, she could fly at a low altitude from the ground. Of course, running with the help of artificial exoskeleton muscles is more convenient and faster, but to overcome such an obstacle, she used shoes. And the girl controlled her flight with the help of hooks.

It was her debut.

Mei's homemade costume was just amazing, in my opinion. With such equipment, even an ordinary person can become an excellent hero. I think the tech companies paid attention to her, as the girl wanted.

When I got to the minefield, I stepped on one of the mines just for fun. Although they were buried in sand, the areas with mines were clearly visible. If you don't push hard, you can pass this zone without any problems. Except, it's a competition.

POOF!

"Heh, cool."

Mines explode with harmless colored smoke. Although, some of the power they have, and mine can hold many of the participants. The main thing I have determined for myself. These mines will not be able to seriously harm anyone and the presence of a defender of the beautiful is not required here. Yes, and there is no time for this. So I hurried to catch up with the tech girl. And as I drew level with her, I slowed down for a moment to exchange a few words with the girl.

"You're still ahead, huh, I thought you were the coolest girl at this stage."

"An undeniable truth. My babies are excellent!" said may cheerfully.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you at the finish line."

"Hey, I can still do it…"

I didn't hear the end of her sentence. Once I was a good distance ahead, I broke the sound barrier and reached the finish gate in one instant, which was exactly the same passageway as at the start.

And as soon as I got into the stadium, I heard the voice of the Real Mick, who was obviously commenting on the entire race.

"MIDORIYA IZUKU! COME ON, THAT WAS CLEAR FROM THE START, RIGHT?"

You can't even argue.

"Heeey! I'm second!" - Clearly showing off, showed up at the Hatsume stadium.

The girl used her hooks and levitating shoes to perform the trick. Rushing across the aisle, she did a double somersault in the air. Clearly demonstrates the capabilities of their toys to future sponsors and investors. And, despite the fact that I overtook her at the end, the girl was cheerful and simply beamed with delight.

I raised an open hand to meet her, and she immediately took the opportunity, giving me a high five right before landing.

"Congratulations." You were really good.

"You also performed admirably. Then you didn't just stay late, did you? I wanted to show the pros that you are a real hero, helping others even in competitions. That was cool. I think you've already earned offers from the best internship agencies!

"Ohh, I'm only interested in one Agency. I hope they'll be interested in me..."

"You want to go to the Prospector?"

The first Agency in terms of the number of villains caught. And, in principle, the most prestigious, especially if you want to declare yourself as a combat-type hero. But I was actually thinking about Wildcats. They're cool. I used to fantasize about these girls when I was a kid…

By this time the others had arrived. Todoroki and Bakugou shared third place together. Until the finish line, it was not clear which of them would come first, they constantly overtook each other. Zuko was in the lead at first, but then bakugou overtook Him on the blast wave. Shouto catches up to him and passes him, but Katsuki makes another explosive dash. As a result, the bomber broke through first, which clearly shocked the refrigerator. The others came after them. I was particularly surprised by Asui. Although she lagged behind the leaders, she came in fifth. The girl was very tired and her eyes were blurry, but still, she was doing great. And then all the others. Tired from the race, but not that everyone is happy. Just tired.

Uraraka Came up to me. "Well played, Izuku."

The girl was breathing heavily, but she was clearly glad that she was among the first to arrive.

"Yeah, wait, I'll be right back."

I jumped up and ran straight for the judge's platform. It was just that there was a table with a lot of plastic bottles filled with water.

"Hello, Midnight-Sensei. Can I borrow a couple?" I point to the water.

"Just one." The girl smiled.

"Okay, but I'm not myself!"

And grabbing several bottles at once, he rushed back.

"KVA?"

"Yes, this is for you." I'll pass one to Asui.

I remember that she gets very tired without water.

"YES, WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE RESULTS LATER, BUT IN THE MEANTIME, YOU CAN RELAX, GUYS!"

Actually, we already had a rest.

"Thank you." Tsuyu-Chan thanked me as she downed half the bottle in one go.

Nodding to the frog, I also handed some water to Ochako and Mino. And another Yaoyorozu. Not only because she's my second-in-command, but also because she's obviously tired of running with such a load.

"Let go you already..." - the girl Sighed.

"Two birds with one stone." Mineta Muttered.

He was clearly not himself. Possible concussion due to a drone strike. In General, the guy broke out in the top twenty in his own way – he saddled my sexual assistant. You little prick. I stuck my Velcro to her ass and took a ride.

"Get out of here." I tugged at it.

"Not a tear."- The guy was stubborn.

I felt suddenly helpless. If he still won't let Momo go and I try to pull him off, I'll probably rip off the girl's clothes that Mineta is glued to.

"Get down, I say!" She's mine!

"Midoriya!?" A tired Yaoyorozu protested listlessly.

"My second-in-command!" I added.

Momo was too exhausted, so this correction completely satisfied her.

"You damned Casanova! I hate you so much. I snagged myself two beauties at once! And he's also hitting on other girls! And to the teachers! Do you have any idea how jealous I am!?" It was a cry of the soul.

The little man was almost sobbing with frustration.

In the end, I got tired of it and just grabbed his face and pulled.

"Your indignation is understandable, but that's no reason to bother our beauty.

"Mvvyh!"

The guy didn't last long. When he became short of oxygen, Mineta unhooked himself. And as some consolation, I handed him the remaining water bottle.0

"You don't look well." You need to be shown to the Healing Girl. There she is…

"A girl?" Let's go! - The guy singled out the most important thing for himself.

Definitely. That blow clearly affected his intellectual abilities. He couldn't possibly have forgotten who the Healing Girl was, could he? In any case, my prefect's instincts seemed to kick in, so I started helping everyone out.

Along the way, I noticed Iida. The guy was all right, but he was a little angry that he didn't come second or third with his quirk, even losing to the frog. And yet, among the finalists there was a familiar girl Shiozaki Ibara, Kendo friend. And indeed Itsuki was here too, as Wicca. Beauties from 1-B.

In the meantime, I took Shorty to a healer, who quickly patched up the guy. Minoru himself didn't even pay attention to who was treating him. Only after healing did he begin to recover. After calming down on that, I went to Asui place. Ashido and Uraraka also joined me.

"It was fun, wasn't it?" Ochako asked, smiling.

Mino replied Cheerfully.

"Not bad." I agreed.

Tsuyu-Chan, despite drinking the water, felt bad. Crouching against the wall of the stadium, she slowly regained consciousness. But her eyes were still tired.

"I should have saved my strength..." the frog Gasped.

"And you?"

"I didn't want to be left behind..." Asui looked up at me.

He reached out and patted the girl's head.

"Well done, you did a good job. But next time, you'd better take care of yourself, okay?"

Tsuyu-Chan nodded In agreement.

"I wish I had my hero suit shoes on." Mino Complained.

I remembered that she had special shoes that let in the acid. Given that ashido can control the properties of the released acid to some extent, it is not difficult for Her to turn it into a slippery slime. That is, she could have skidded part of the track like a skater.

Meanwhile, a table of finalists has been compiled.

Photos and names of participants began to appear on the stadium screen. They showed me first. To be honest, I looked stupid in this shot. The girls giggled.

"That's when you were flirting with Midnight." Ashido Said.

I don't... I Tried to deny it, but realized that it was useless.

"Pfft…"

Then images of other participants began to appear. Hatsume Mei, Bakugou, Todoroki, Asui, and so on. Ochako came in thirteenth, but Ashido came in eighteenth. But, in General, in the list of finalists were all students of the 1st class, most of the 1st class, well, only two not from the hero Department. Hitoshi Shinsou from General education is the big guy who declared war on our Department. And Hatsume Mei, the cheerleading squad champion.

"And, the first forty-two places get the right to go further!" - Nemuri Reports. - "I'm sorry, guys, but the ones who didn't make it didn't make it. But don't worry, you'll still have a chance."

Many people were really upset.

"So, now it's time to move on to the second, final, stage of the qualifying competition! Oh, this is going to be fun! What will it be? I already know, but I can't wait to see your faces!"

And she keeps delaying the moment, teasing the participants and encouraging the audience.

In any case, I am confident in my abilities, no matter what task we are given.

The main thing is that some Orochimaru doesn't show up for the second stage.
