Kapitel 12: Chapter 12
Coming in the first place in the obstacle course race turned out to be the worst for me, had I been a wimpy mess.
10,000,000, the headband given to me was worth that many points. Everyone was eyeing me as if I was the only piece of candy left in the world. But I didn't let that deter me.
The second task was the cavalry battle. We were given fifteen minutes to choose our teammates. Quite unsurprisingly, no one approached me.
I then found Uraraka looking around, trying to find someone to team up with. Her quirk was really versatile and I had a plan for the task for which she was needed.
As I got closer to her, she looked at me and understood why I was approaching her. She immediately raised her hands in defeat and said, "Sorry, Midoriya-kun, you are the strongest I've seen in this tournament and I want to prove myself against you."
I looked at her for a moment and sensed the sincerity in her voice. I sighed and went away without a word.
Anyone who I approached had a similar excuse to not team up with me. I was getting frustrated. Yeah, being on my team would have been a disadvantage but it was getting ridiculous.
Finally, I managed to convince Tokoyami to be my teammate. A girl from class 1-B took pity on me and despite all the protests from her classmates, she decided to join my team.
Kendo Itsuka, the class representative of 1-B, was my hero for the second task.
Despite the fact that I had a team, the damage was done. I was downright pissed. My classmates wanted to show that they were capable, by defeating me...
I decided to give them something to look up to. 'I'm very strong? They want to defeat me? Alright then...'
"Tokoyami, Kendo-san, do you want to display your quirks in this round? Or do you want to win as quickly as possible?"
Both were surprised by my question.
Kendo asked, "Um, Midoriya-san, what do you mean by 'win as quickly as possible'?"
Tokoyami nodded, also wanting to know what I had meant.
I looked at him and replied as a cold smirk graced its presence on my face, "Remember when I lost my temper at the gates of USJ?"
Tokoyami's eyes widened momentarily before he relaxed and said, "Alright, Midoriya. Show them the power of your will."
I was a little surprised. 'I never told them the actual nature of my quirk. How does he know I can weaponize my willpower? Ah, it's his nature to say things in a dramatic way.'
Kendo looked at us and asked, "USJ? Do you mean the villain attack? What exactly happened during the attack? No one really told us anything about it. All my class could do was make assumptions."
I sighed and began to explain, as briefly as I could, "The villains appeared in the centre of USJ through a portal during our rescue training. They were there for All Might. We were lucky to not have been seriously injured. Though it couldn't be said for Aizawa-sensei and Thirteen. In the end, All Might and the rest of the teachers saved us. Yes, we did fight the villains but it was a battle for our lives. Any one of us could have been fatally wounded."
Just as she was about to ask more about the attack, Midnight announced, "Your fifteen minutes are up. Time to get started."
I could hear many students around us, ridiculing my class for showing them up because of the villain attack, whispering about defeating me and showing me who's better. These petty and jealous idiots were the future heroes? The more I listened, the angrier I got.
Present Mic resumed his commentary, "And now, all 12 teams are lined up and ready to move!! Let's get a battle cry!! Here comes the starting signal!! Blood begets blood in this grand battle!!"
Kendo was riding on my shoulders as Tokoyami and his dark shadow guarded the left and right. Although none of them might have intended to, they pushed all the right buttons and had triggered me.
As the signal was given for us to start, all the teams began approaching us as quickly as they could. I could hear some of them monologue about taking all the points from us.
Just as everyone was within the range of maximum effect, I released all kinds of control over my willpower, letting it pulse out like a huge wave.
As my will conquered theirs, one by one, all the students began to fall, their eyes rolled back in their sockets as they fainted, unable to bear the brunt of my Conqueror's will.
As my attack ended, only our team was the one left standing.
Everyone in the stadium was shocked, perhaps except Aizawa-sensei. He was aware of my abilities.
Present Mic stuttered as he yelled into the microphone, "Wh-what just happened?! Every rider has been dismounted except Kendo Itsuka from team Kendo!!"
Aizawa-sensei spoke, there was a hint of emotion in his voice but I couldn't get what it was, "It's Midoriya Izuku's ability. He made everyone faint, thus eliminating them from this event."
Present Mic continued, "What an upset!! Midnight, what is your decision?!"
Midnight looked towards us and asked, "I'll ask you three, what do you think should be done?"
Without any hesitation, I stepped forward and replied, "Let there be a battle royale for those who were eliminated as a qualifier for next task."
I didn't need to look at my teammates to get their confirmation. They were too shocked to gove a reply after seeing how easily I defeated everyone else.
Midnight stared at me and then grinned. Crackling her whip, she gave me a thumbs-up sign and said, "I like it! There will be a battle royale for all those who were eliminated in the cavalry battle to qualify for the final task."
I looked back at Tokoyami and Kendo as the crowd roared with excitement. They were still too shocked at the ease with which I won that battle for us.
'How strong is he?!' Was thought that kept repeating in their minds.
