Running away from the furious Todoroka, I had to go to the gathering place, the whole class would be there and she would behave more calmly. I'm late - Mick had already started the show. I got to the classrooms the second Midnight called the first-years to the stadium, so I walked modestly at the end, not even with my class, I'll get in trouble for that....
I heard some whispers about Midnight being an 18+ heroine and whether she was even allowed to be at this competition, but those idiots were whispering too loudly and Midnight lost her temper.
- All right! - said the heroine, 'Quiet, everyone! Class 1-A representative Kayama Toru Kayama is called to the stage to give a welcome speech!
- We'll do our best! - exclaimed cheerfully, stepping up to the podium. I don't know what to say, everyone here strives for only one place - the top, otherwise they wouldn't be here, and I don't want to add oil to the fire....
- Young apprentice, - leaned towards me, whispered Midnight, covering her mouth with her hand, - you could have chosen a more cheerful speech for such a significant moment.
- What difference does it make,' I whispered back, copying her movements, covering myself from the crowd, 'whether they try or not, I'll win anyway!
- A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! - the judge of the competition burst out laughing, and I began to realise why when I heard the roar of the crowd.
- The microphone is still on, right? - The girl nodded, not stopping the laughter, - You guys will succeed, - I tried to correct the situation, - We are all strong! And we can all reach the top! After all, each of you got here, let's try to reach the top!
- You arsehole! Wanker! Upstart! - came from the crowd. - What difference does your support make now, you've already said everything you think, arsehole!
- Ouch, - waved away, - and I still support them, good luck in the battle for second place! - and came down, having finished his failed speech.
- Silence, everyone! - Midnight calmed down and shut the crowd up with a swipe of her whip, - Ladies and gentlemen, we will now choose the challenge for the first round! - She pointed to a large screen, and there popped up the caption, 'Obstacle Run.'
While they were explaining to the audience that the distance would be four kilometres and that all classes would be participating in the race, we were taken to the starting line. Everyone was staring in my direction, heh, I made a lot of enemies in a minute.
- It's time to start, - Midnight's voice came from the speakers, and I shrouded myself in flames to scare away all those who would try to push me, and the effect of dissolving by ten per cent increased, I won't hurt anyone, but if they think of clinging to me, they'll be sorry, - March!
I rushed forward, which was not hindered by the crowd, letting the burning torch pass forward. Hoshi did the same thing, only on her way out she set fire to the entire treadmill, delaying the other students.
Oh! We've got two leaders already! And look, the kid who claimed victory is running ahead!
Sotrigolova: That's just the beginning of the race, they've just been passed over because of their quirks, they're not doing anything outstanding, they're just running, and no one will let them get far.
And as soon as the teacher said those words, Katsumi flew through the flames on a blast, Sero flew out after her using the ribbons, and one by one, taking advantage of the quirks, the students from our class and other classes chased after us in a trail.
Mick: Heh-heh-heh! No one's going to give up the victory that easily! And our leaders are approaching the first hurdle! ROBO Inferno!
Robots for a zero from the school exam, smiled and at his own pace ran on, but Hoshi, using a quirk, those that were in her way - melted, breaking their stability, and the moment was very beautiful - she created a real fire tornado.
The leader of our race is Hoshi Todoroki, and she is the daughter of the number two hero of the race, Prospector. Ladies and gentlemen, what about the second leader? А? Run, boy! You're gonna get crushed! Your flame won't save you if you turn into a pancake!
Sotrigolova: Hmm!
It looks like he's talking to me, because one of the robots had already raised his arm for a punch and threw it forward, but I didn't really care and, when the arm was almost down, I spread the flames beyond the area of impact and in the next moment I was already there.
Mick: Hugo! That's some speed! He had time to run out, avoiding the impact!
Sotrigolova: No! He went over the flames.
Have you been watching cartoons? What kind of crossing, it's fire!
But our class teacher did not explain anything, and I, having avoided several more attacks, went to the second obstacle together with Todoroki. Thanks to the girl's efforts, the robots collapsed, so it was just the two of us.
Mick: Our leaders ran out to the second obstacle, and it was going to be a canyon!
I was lazy to crawl on the rope, and it was dangerous, given the face Katsumi is catching up with us, and therefore, coming to the edge, let the rope flame.
Mick: Look! Looks like another one of the leaders has decided to ruin the others' race, he's going to burn the ropes!
Meanwhile, I had already launched a flame at the big island, moved there, did it again, and was on the other side in a couple of seconds
What? Sotrigolov has two quirks? Can he teleport too?
Sotrigolova: Are you deaf? He has an unusual flame, his quirk is called the 'Phoenix Flame', look, the ropes are intact and not even smoking, his flame doesn't behave like normal fire, but rather like a liquid that he can dive into and float out at another point.
Mick: Oh! That's right, I've read about this guy! Ladies and gentlemen, this is yet another star person who has joined the ranks of our academy's students, you won't believe this, but this is the adopted kid of Arizu Mochizuki herself! And according to my information, she's in Japan right now, maybe she's here to support her son. Maybe she's even sitting somewhere among you?
Nah, mum didn't go, she and Mitsuki are at home watching TV right now.
Mick: I got so carried away I forgot, our leader has come to the third obstacle and it's a minefield! But it's special and it's made so that the mines can be seen, so pay attention!
In a hurry! Therefore, had to slow down, the first place I just do not need, let our future symbol of peace to gain experience to be the first! I even stepped on bombs a couple of times to make it look true.
Mick: Looks like our leader has slowed down and has been overtaken! Apparently his quirk has its weaknesses too!
Sotrigolova: That's weird.
You can tell who's thinking and who's hippy. I was just passed by Hoshi and Katsumi, and the latter also caught a couple of bombs near me, under which I colourfully set up and fell down, losing time and on the stage came the canon: there was a huge explosion at the beginning of the minefield, and Shizuka flew forward, interfered with the pushing girls that were in the lead and went to the finish line.
Essence Mick: Sotrigolova your class is just something! What do you teach them there?
Sotrigolova: Nothing, they themselves stimulate each other's growth.
Mick: Who would have thought it would turn out like this? We have a winner! Midoriya Shizuka class 1-A!
