Capítulo 14: Sports Festival.
2 weeks after The USJ Incident, the UA Sports Festival started.
Almost all the students from every year were preparing for this but none harder than 1A. When Kaito didn't come back everyone thought that they could take the 2 weeks off to train and so they did. Nezu couldn't do anything about it and the teachers were just happy they got more free time so they just let it happen.
Anyways, that was 2 weeks ago. Here we are now with Kaito standing at the stage in front of a mic to give...something. Yeah Kaito had no idea what he was supposed to say so he just said ''Uhhhhh...It's okay to lose if you gave it your all!'' and gave a thumbs-up with a smile.
No one really knew what to say so Midnight quickly said ''Alright then let us get to the first trial right away!''
She then walked over to a giant screen which suddenly turned on with 'OBSTACLE RACE' displayed on it. Midnight then said ''There you have it! The first trial will be an Obstacle Race! You'll make a lap around the entire stadium which is exactly 4km! But be careful of the obstacles and others since you can do anything as long as you stay on course! Now quickly get to your places!''
Kaito just followed everyone else as they made their way to a gate with a narrow exit. By the time he had walked over there, a loud whistle was heard and everyone rushed in, trying to fit through the exit but horribly failing.
But while everyone was trying to run, Kaito just jumped over everyone else and used Geppo to quickly get out of the crowd and onto the course followed by Todoroki who froze the ground as he ran forward.
Kaito didn't bother to see who else was coming after him and instead threw his right arm to the side, using it to activate his Gear Second and using Geppo in combination with Soru to move forward so fast that everyone thought he had vanished.
Then the speakers at the course suddenly said ''Wha- WHERE DID HE GO?!?!'' It was Present Mic by the way. He's doing the announcing this time.
But after 18 seconds his question was answered when the crowd in the stadium suddenly went quiet followed by an ear deafening cheer. By the time Present Mic looked over he saw Kaito standing past the finish line with a cloud of smoke which left his body.
Oh right I forgot to mention this but Kaito changed a lot in the past 2 weeks. He grew to 196cm in height which makes him the tallest in his class but that's not the most notable change. Somehow, Kaito's usually straight white hair had curled.
Present Mic went wide-eyed when he saw Kaito and said through the speakers ''WHAT A REVELATION!! KAITO HAS FINISHED THE RACE IN...IN JUST 25 SECONDS!! WHAT A MONSTER!!''
Kaito was just smiling as usual and waiting for everyone else to finish. Thankfully he didn't have to wait for long since they all finished after a few minutes.
Somehow Izuku managed to come in first, followed by Todoroki and Bakugo.
After that Midnight came on and introduced the second trial, The Cavalry Battle. The goal was to gain Points from other teams while being in a Horse Formation with 3 other people and you could use your Quirk as long as it isn't with malicious intent but that wasn't wasn't what Kaito was worried about.
What worried him was that each player gained +5 points based on their rankings with the only exception being the 1st who had 10 MILLION POINTS. Basically, everyone was going to target Kaito and no one would want to form a team with him...
Or so Kaito thought when Izuku approached along with Ochaco and Tokoyami asking ''Kaito-kun, do you...want to team up with us?''
Kaito just nodded and said ''Yeah! I was gonna do it on my own but having a team is still great! Shishishishi~''
Izuku wanted to say 'You can't do that.' but decided not to. His plan was to get Kaito to be the rider since Kaito could use his arms to grab Headbands from far away while Ochaco and Tokoyami would help escape if anyone got close.
After their team was formed, Izuku just told them about his strategy which Kaito just ignored since he had his own.
When the 15 minutes ran out Present Mic said ''Alright let's get this party started! It's time for UA's bloody Cavalry Battle! Get ready...3...2...1...!!''
Then Midnight took over and said ''STAART!''
As soon she gave the signal, almost everyone dashed for Kaito's Headband. Izuku told Ochaco and Tokoyami to get them away but Kaito just said ''Hey Izuku, let me handle this''
Izuku had confusion written on his face and asked ''What are y-'' Okay he tried to ask but was interrupted when Kaito quickly jumped off of his horse and used Geppo to go up high in the sky and avoid everyone.
The crowd when wild when Kaito did this while everyone else just wondered if that was even allowed...it was by the way.
Then Present Mic said ''WOW!! Taking to the skies where no one can touch you. A genius play by Kaito, the Rubber boy of Class 1A!!'' (not my best but eh.)
Izuku was sad that his friend didn't go with his plan but he knew this was probably better. No one except Bakugo could target him from up there and Bakugo would have to give up after a few minutes if he wanted to stay in the competition. All in all, it was an almost perfect plan.
And speaking of Bakugo, when he noticed Kaito in the air he quickly went up there while yelling ''GET OVER HERE YOU CONDOM BASTARD! THAT 10 MILLION IS MINE!''
Kaito kept a straight face and said ''BUT I REFUSE!''
Bakugo just screamed while using his explosions to maneuver in the air and constantly tried to grab Kaito's Headband.
But unfortunately for him, Kaito's Geppo in combination with Soru was much faster and much better than his explosions. Even without Gear Second Kaito could still move extremely fast and with his Observation Haki, Kaito could easily dodge Bakugo's relentless assaults.
And this cat and mouse chase went on for 3 minutes until Bakugo gave up and went back down to get more points. No one bothered to go after Kaito since he was way too high up in the air for any of their Quirks to reach.
After the time ran out Present Mic announced the results.
1. Team Kaito (Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka, Fumikage Tokoyami)
2. Team Todoroki (Momo Yaoyorozu, Denki Kaminari, Tenya Iida)
3. Team Bakugo (Eijiro Kirishima, Mina Ashido, Hanta Sero)
4. Team Shinso (Nirengeki Shoda, Yuga Aoyama, Mashirao Ojiro)
The first 3 weren't too surprising but the last team was unexpected for Kaito but he just ignored it like usual. It didn't matter who he ended up fighting since he would definitely win.
After the Cavalry Battle was concluded, everyone was given a 1 hour resting period which Kaito used to stuff himself with food. He needed to overload himself with nutrients and energy if he was going to use Gear Second during the final trial.
After the break, Present Mic announced ''ALRIIIGHT! I hope everyone had a good rest because...The finals trial will be...A TOURNAMENT!! All 16 winners from the second trial will face one another in a classic tournament!''
Kaito just ignored everything that Midnight said after it was announced that it was a tournament. Kaito only looked at who he was going to fight and went to go eat again. Not because he needed to but because he wanted to.
After eating way too much food, Kaito just waited until his against Iida started. Apparently Iida tried to find Kaito earlier but couldn't so when they finally met right before their match, Iida just said 'Good luck Kaito-kun. I know I'm going to lose but please give it your best.' Kaito didn't respond to that by the way.
After that small interaction, Kaito's name was called so he went onto the stadium to find Iida waiting for him.
When he got to the stage Present Mic announced ''The fourth match of the first round of Final Trial...Kaito versus Tenya Iida! You already know the rules so without further ado...STAAART!!''
Just as Present Mic announced that, Kaito instantly appeared in front of Iida with his arm stretched back far away from his body and quickly pulled it back before throwing it straight into Iida's stomach while saying ''Gomu Gomu no...Bullet!!''
The attack connected before Iida could even register what was happening and was launched off of the stadium.
The entire crowd when silent before erupting into cheers while the Pro Heroes who were watching all of this unfold was just left shocked. Even the best of the best had a hard time achieving such speed and a 15 year old with barely half as much experience was doing it almost effortlessly!
Present Mic quickly said ''Incredible! Kaito wins the match in less than 2 second! If he can keep this up then 1st Place is all but guaranteed!''
After that, Kaito went back to doing whatever he felt like until his name was called again. He wanted to watch the others fight and talk to them too but decided not to disturb them...of course he doesn't know that almost all of them just talked until their matches came.
After waiting for a really long time because the previous match had destroyed the arena, Kaito finally got his fight which was against a girl from 1B with vines for hair...and it went just as it did earlier against Iida.
Immediately after Present Mic gave the signal, Kaito quickly jumped into the air, avoiding the vines that came after him from the ground before using his 'Gomu Gomu no Pistol' to knock his opponent off the stage. Another flawless victory which only took 3 seconds.
Kaito just resumed the routine he developed until his name was called again. But this time he was prepared in a stance with his legs spread apart because this time he was facing against Todoroki, his natural enemy.
Then Present Mic said ''What's this?! Kaito is getting serious this time! It'll be a show worth-while folks! Now without waiting...STAAAART!!''
As soon as Present Mic said that, Kaito quickly jumped to the side, avoiding the giant glacier of ice that went past him while using his left arm to activate Gear Second.
After activating it Kaito was about to go on the offensive but had to jump high into the air when another ice attack came flying at him.
Ice was the only thing that could be considered his natural enemy. It restricted his stretching and forced his blood flow to slow down and effectively forces him out of Gear Second.
Before Todoroki could see where he went, Kaito quickly used Geppo and Soru to get closer to Todoroki to attack.
But unfortunately, Todoroki managed to react at instinctually and quickly used his fire, sending Kaito flying back towards the crowd but he managed to regain his balance quickly and used Geppo to go right back at Todoroki.
Todoroki, thanks to his confrontation with Izuku, started to use his fire side when he felt like he needed to. He normally wouldn't have used it but since Kaito was 'fighting with his all', Todoroki decided he should too which made Izuku who was watching this very happy....along with a way too excited man with fire for a beard...what the fuck.
Kaito just smiled widely and said ''You're finally getting serious! Man, that fire was way too hot...Let me try.''
Kaito then quickly used Geppo while stretching right arm back and made his way towards Todoroki who responded by sending another wave of fire towards Kaito.
But this time, shit was different. Instead of dodging the fire, Kaito went directly through the fire. No one saw this but when he was inside the fire his right arm turned completely black.
Todoroki was confused when Kaito did what he did so he decided to block...or so he tried when Kaito came out faster than he could think to block.
Kaito just yelled ''Gomu Gomu no...RED HAAWK!!'' As soon as he did his right arm came out of the fire wave surprising everyone.
His arm caught fire...AND HE'S USING IT AS AN ATTACK!!...
...Or so they thought because that's the only plausible thing.
Todoroki was shocked when he noticed the fire fist which immediately collided with his chest, sending that wave of fire directly into his chest, causing a huge fiery explosion behind Todoroki, burning his chest and sending him flying back.
Somehow Todoroki managed to stop himself from going off the stadium by making ice behind him and crashing into it. He was shocked that a boy his own age would put his arm on fire so he said ''You definitely deserve the Number One spot in our class Kaito...But I won't lose that easily!''
Kaito just chuckled a bit and asked ''Are you sure about that?''
Just as the question left his mouth, he quickly disappeared from his spot and arrived in front of Todoroki. And as quickly as he appeared, Todoroki was launched off the stage and directly into the walls of the stadium.
Present Mic immediately announced ''There you have it folks! Kaito is moving onto the Final Round!''
The crowd was way too loud at this point. Everyone with Hearing-based Quirks or Mutations were wearing sound-cancellation devices at this point.
Kaito just ignored all of this and went back to his routine. It was a given at this point that he would win but...He wanted to show off.
After a few minutes of waiting, Kaito's name was called again along with Bakugo's.
Most of the students in 1A gave up trying to talk to Kaito after each of his fights because no one could find him.
Anyways, Midnight and Present Mic was making a big deal out of this fight. Kaito and Bakugo both ignored all of this. It didn't matter in the end anyway.
When Present Mic's countdown started, Kaito quickly tore off the top of his gym uniform. Why tear it off? Because he hated it.
When the start of the fight was announced, Bakugo just stood still and waited for Kaito. He was arrogant but he still wanted to fight Kaito at his strongest.
While all of this was happening, Izuku and All Might were wondering what Kaito was doing. They had already seen how he activates his Gears and this wasn't the method to activate either of them. And that's when realization dawned on them. It was a new Gear!
Then Kaito said ''Sorry, but I wanna show off!'' He quickly returned to the stance he had taken against Todoroki, with his legs spread apart, and bit into his right forearm which for some reason turned completely black and began pumping air into his muscles. (if anyone is wondering why it's visible then it's because it's a quirk. the real reason is that gear 4 looks hideous without haki but ignore that.)
After a second his now almost pitch-black forearm's muscles gained definition and quickly expanded to a monstrous size. Steam suddenly started coming off of his now massive forearm and quickly covered the rest of the transformation process.
The entire process took only a few seconds but pretty much everyone that knew Kaito was just drowning in anticipation. They've seen how strong Kaito can get when he gets serious...which almost never happens. I wonder who's to blame for that.
The crowd was starting to get restless but thankfully they were relieved...and a bit scared when the steam covering Kaito finally cleared to reveal someone or something entirely different. If not for the gym uniform's pants and the hair then no one could say for certain that it was Kaito.
For starters, his upper body had inflated to a gigantic size with his arms and legs turned a reddish black with what looked like tribal tattoos covering his back and bare chest. His eyes had deep black rings around them, similar to how Aizawa usually is. Most notably, he had grown tall. Like really tall. Almost 12 feet if you could get him to stand straight and stop his hair from flowing freely.
All in all, it looked like a beast in human skin. Not too out of the ordinary for this world but still unusual to see.
Yeah it ain't funny seeing a gigantic fat man with bulging muscles.
Bakugo didn't care one bit about any of his and prepared to fight...or so he tried.
Kaito had some disappeared from where he stood- I mean bounced and instantly arrived in front of Bakugo, sending him flying back out of the stage and into the grass grounds.
Just a one sided victory for Kaito. Yeah it ain't fun when you're really fucking strong.
After just dominating over just about everyone in the entire Sports Festival, the top 3 in the Final Trial were given their medals. Todoroki and Tokoyami had to fight to determine who got Third Place but it was an easy victory Todoroki since Dark Shadow was weakened whenever Todoroki would use fire attacks.
After preparing the stage the top 3 were told to just stand on the podium which displayed their places.
After a few minutes, Midnight walked up to the podium and said ''All of the events for the first-years are now completed. Now, we will begin the award ceremony! And presenting the medals will be...''
Then, with his signature laugh which he trademarked by the way, All Might jumped directly onto the field and landed while yelling ''I AM HERE...WITH THE MEDALS!''
All Might just went on to present the medals to Todoroki and Bakugo and gave them some speech to feel good which Kaito just ignored as usual. It didn't matter to him a single bit.
Todoroki wasn't effected by his loss at all and instead stuck to his own problems.
Bakugo on the other hand just had his head hung low. He didn't even know when or even how he was defeated.
When All Might got to Kaito he said ''You did well, Young Kaito. I knew you could've won even before this started and I'm sure you did too, but I'm glad you fought every fight seriously.''
Kaito just replied ''Thanks Uncle Might! Also I'll apologize for this later!''
All Might was a bit confused by what Kaito said but realization dawned on him when Kaito threw his arms into the air and released a wave of Conqueror's Haki as he said ''I WILL BE...NUMBER ONE! THE GREATEST HERO IN THE WORLD!!''
With that declaration, the crowd went crazy. All Might even forgot the speech he was supposed to give after presenting the medals so Midnight had to take over and finish up the Sports Festival.
After that entire thing Kaito bolted back home. If he waited any longer than he would've gotten swarmed by crowds of people waiting outside.
After Kaito got home he decided to just rest. Everything had gone according to his plan and he was more than sure than he got the attention of the Villains that attacked USJ. All according to plan.
================================================================
Thanks for reading!
The ending is pretty shit because I couldn't decide with how I wanted it to end. I was originally going to make Kaito slip up and lose during the Cavalry Battle but I couldn't decide on it.
