The festival begins.

Everyone is in the waiting room, anxiety hanging in the air. I've been practising a lot the last two weeks, trying my best to be prepared. I don't want to be embarrassed on national tv after all. Aizawa told me every detail he was allowed to tell me, which, as you can imagine, didn't sum up to much, although it did still help.

"I wanted to wear my costume." Mina complains.

"To keep everything fair, we can't." Ojiro explains. The chatter around the room continues, but I zone out, trying to prepare for whatever challenges await.

"Everyone, are you ready? We will be entering soon!" Iida yells as he opens the door. I observe the room and notice Todoroki approaching Midoriya.

"Midoriya." Todoroki says.

"Todoroki? What is it?" Midoriya asks, the whole class turns their attention to the pair.

"Looking at things objectively, I think I'm stronger than you." Todoroki says, where is this conversation going?

"Huh...Y-Yeah..." Midoriya admits.

"But... All Might has his eye on you, doesn't he? I'm not trying to pry about that. But I'm going to beat you." Todoroki says coldly.

"Oh? Is the best in the class making a declaration of war?" Kaminari asks.

"Hey, hey, hey! Why are you picking a fight all of a sudden? Not now, we're about to start!" Kirishima questions as he walks over to them.

"We're not here to play at being friends. So what does it matter?" Todoroki says as he walks away.

"Todoroki, I don't know what you're thinking when you say you'll beat me, but of course, you're better than me. I think you're more capable than most people... Looking at it objectively..." Midoriya says, Todoroki stops and faces Midoriya.

"Midoriya, you probably shouldn't talk so negative..." Kirishima interrupts.

"But everyone-- Even the students from the other courses are aiming for the top with everything they've got! I can't afford to fall behind. I'll be going for it with everything I have, too." Midoriya says.

"Yeah." Todoroki replies. Soon after, it's time for the festival to begin. As we walk, I hear loud yells and screams of excitement.

"you excited, midoriya?" I ask, he looks at me, half excited, half scared out of his mind.

"Yeah." He says to me as we walk out onto the field. I look up to see fireworks and a large crowd of cheering people. Present mic talks through the microphone (not like he needed it). I didn't bother to listen.

"Th-There are so many people..." Midoriya stutters, staring wide eyed at the stadium.

"chill midoriya, focus on the tasks ahead and not the audience." I say, attempting to comfort him, it seemed to work a little.

"Time for the player pledge!" Ms Midnight yells, she's wearing an overly revealing costume. I look around to see most of the boys with a small amount of blush on their faces. "Quite everyone! Representing the students is Katsuki Bakugo from class 1-A!" Midnight yells, there are gasps all around. Bakugo walks up to the stage and begins to speak.

"I pledge-- That I'll be number one." Bakugo says, how full of himself can he be. The crowd begins to boo and yell. Bakugo walks back it to the crowd.

"Now, let's get started right away. The first game is what you'd call a qualifier! Every year, many drink their tears here! Now, here is the first game!" Midnight yells, A hologram appears behind her, and music begins to play. "This year, it's... this!" Midnight announces, An obstacle race, huh? This will be fun! Since I need to show my Quirk off during the festival, I'm not going to just teleport to the end unless it's necessary. "All 11 classes will participate in this race. The course will be the outer circumference of this stadium-- about four kilometres! Our school's selling point is freedom! As long as you stay on the course, it doesn't matter what you do! Now take your places, everyone!" Midnight finishes, the crowd goes wild. 

-------------------------------------------------------------

Time skip (When the race is about to begin)

-------------------------------------------------------------

The light on the gate begin to turn off one by one until 

"Start!" Midnight yells, everyone begins to run. I'm squished between all the people, but I manage to get free just in time to see Todoroki shoot ice in my direction. I Shortcut out the way and end up beside Todoroki, he sees me and begins to run. I use my bones to push me along the ice at a fast pace, I'm only a few meters behind Todoroki. His pace slows to a halt, I look up to see dozens of robots, the same ones from the entrance exam. Everyone is stunned, so I take this to my advantage. 

Launching myself up high into the air, I summon 2 G.blasters, they fire and destroy the robot that was in front of me. I jump onto one of the blasters and speed over the rest of the robots, soon passing them. Just as I land on the ground, I see one of the robots covered in ice, I don't wait and continue running. I'm the first to arrive at the next obstacle, I look behind me and see Todoroki not too far behind. Looking back to the next obstacle, I use my bones to launch myself across, landing on the other side then continuing to run. I don't even need to look back to know Todoroki, Bakugo and a few other people are close behind. I see a sign that reads 'DANGER MINES!!' with a 'skull' on it, that's a little insulting. 

I begin to jump across the minefield using my bones, making them stick out of the ground so I can jump from one to another. I look to my left and see Todoroki, he gives me a stern look. I look to the right and turn to see him just in time to see Bakugo grabbing my arm and throwing me backward. Well, now I'm pissed! 

"Seems like we have someone new in the lead!" Mic yells. I Shortcut next to Bakugo and kick him in the leg, he falls on his face and faces plants right into a mine, he's sent flying. Next I stop time and grab a bunch of mines, put them right under Todoroki's foot and run a few Meters in front of him, then un-pause time again 

*boom!*

 I hear as I make it to the end of the minefield, a snicker escapes my mouth. I see the end tunnel, I run as fast as I can. Taking a small glance behind me, I see a familiar green mop of hair. Good job, Midoriya. I run out the end of the tunnel, and the crowd cheers.

"Right now, the first person back in the stadium is that man... Sans Gaster!" Mic yells, the crowd roars with cheers and screams. I look up at the stadium and punch my fist upward, the crowd cheers even louder. I turn to see Midoriya running through the gate, I smile at him. 

"Nice job, you really pulled through back there!" I say, a massive smile across my face. Soon Todoroki and Bakugo run through the tunnel, Todoroki gives me a cold glare and Bakugo charges at me.

"YOU BASTARD!" Bakugo yells as he charges at me. I put a bone right in front of his face, he runs into it. He looks like he's about to explode, like always. Kinda reminds me of an angry pomeranian.  "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Bakugo yells in anger.

"The first game of the first-year stage is over. Now, take a look at the results!" Midnight yells. I look up at the scoreboard, it reads: Class A Sans Gaster 1st, Class A Izuku Midoriya 2nd, Class A Shoto Todoroki 3rd, Class A Katsuki Bakugo 4th and so on.

( Aoyama sadly didn't make it cuz he was 43, poor guy. R.I.P Aoyama)

"The top 42 made it through to the next round. It's unfortunate, but don't worry, even if you didn't make it! We've prepared other chances for you to shine. The real competition begins next! The press cavalry will be all over it! Give it your all!" Midnight yells, what awaits in the next challenge is a mystery. 

*The thought of the challenge that awaits fills you with D E T E R M I N A T I O N*  

Authors note:

Hey, guys hope you enjoyed this fan fic, for the cavalry battle who should Sans team up with? I was thinking that perhaps he could team up with Shinso? Tell me your thoughts!

Anyway Boi!
