章 81: Sports Festival: *Up to your imagination*
[Spectator Seats]
A cannon fodder hero looked at the screen that was being broadcast to all the people watching "Who do you think is going to win?" he asks his colleagues.
The people who he was with started thinking but soon concluded rather quickly, "My savings were placed on the blonde...meaning all my support goes to her"
"Ready to go piss broke once again? I remember last Sports Festival the guy who could go through walls won, and your bet during that time was on the periwinkle girl"
When one of them recalled the memory some started laughing, "Hahaha! He had to live off of instant noodles for a couple of months due to that bet!" one teased.
"Laugh all you want but I have a good feeling this time!" the fodder hero clenched his fist while sounding determined.
"Feeling good? I mean the current betting is currently 5:2, with Himiko Kan being betted on the most. She's a Royal and steamrolled through those building-sized robots like nothing!"
What the man meant was that even if the guy were to win, his winnings would not amount to much.
"Safety is a priority! I can't go back to eating instant noodles once again!" the man screamed as he clutched his heart in pain...probably not wanting to experience hardship once again.
People around the group could only stare at them weirdly.

[Momo Yaoyorozu's POV]
[Ladies and Gentlemen! The break has just finished so let us jump right back into the action!]
[On your left! We have our versatile creationist who is a walking arsenal of weapons at this point! HEROICS DEPARTMENT, MOMO YAOYOROZU!]
[VERSUS]
[She has shown that even with her small stature; she can still pound sky-high robots into the ground! Copies quirks through blood so let's see what surprise we'll get this time, HEROICS DEPARTMENT, HIMIKO KAN!]
As our names were called, I confidently walked to the stage and shook hands with her, as we did she spoke something that shocked me.
"It's quite sad that you didn't say anything when I was Mina~ I was quite curious as to what your plan is~" she said in a sing-song voice and skipped back to her side.
'She was Mina during that time!? I didn't even notice...I'm just glad that I didn't say anything' I thought to myself; grateful for not sharing any of my plans.
Getting out of my stupor, I hurried back to my side of the stage to quickly start the match.
"Are you ready!? *WHIP*" Midnight asked with a pose that jiggled her assets along; you could hear the men from the stadium breathing like dogs as she did that.
""Hai~/Yes!"" we gave our respective answers.
*WHIP~!*
"START!" Midnight instructed loudly; hearing this I immediately started creating the gear I needed.
If only I was allowed to create gear beforehand but sadly I wasn't.
I was wearing a tank top and compression shorts since the U.A. gym clothes are not suited for me.
Surprisingly, Himiko just stood there nonchalantly, "Go and make your gear, I'll wait for it~!"
"Just don't regret it!" I said and began creating a spear and shield, then finally an exoskeleton to wear.
[Such honorable sportsmanship! Kan has just allowed her opponent to truly ready the big stuff!]
What's special about the shield and exoskeleton was that they had a thick layer of graphene on them.
Graphene is an extremely light material, shock-absorbent, and 200 times stronger than steel. With this material, I would be able to withstand her physical force at least!
With everything ready, I positioned myself like a Spartan ready to go to war, "I thank you for letting me create in peace, I just hope you don't regret it, Himiko"
"No worries~ You're just prolonging the inevitable~" as she finished her statement she disappeared from where she stood, and the next thing I knew I felt my shield being impacted!
*BANG!*
I was sent a couple of meters back, however, most of the shock was absorbed by the graphene material and the ground. It cracked though...
'I couldn't even react to her speed!' I thought to myself as beads of sweat rolled on my face; imagining what would've happened if I stuck to regular materials.
"Hoo~ That shield and exoskeleton of yours didn't break~? I wonder what material you used" Himiko said with curiosity evident in her tone.
"I didn't really let out much power since I was afraid your creating would crumble; well...I'm glad it didn't!"
Hearing what she said I was stunned, 'That wasn't her full power!?'
Not wanting to go on a fist-to-fist match up, I created a gas mask for me to wear and swiftly popped gas canisters out of me.
The canisters contained several different things: smoke bomb, tear gas, and sleeping gas.
*Poooooof~*
[Don't worry ladies and gents! The protective screen will display a thermal video of what is currently happening within the fog!]
'That's a nice feature...I wonder how rich U.A. is to even add this in?' I thought shortly and sent my focus back into the match quickly.
One by one they all started releasing their own gasses; the great thing about them is that they all have the same color.
The only drawback is that I too am not able to see her, I'm just hoping that she falls unconscious before the gasses runs out.
[HIMIKO'S POV]
'Well...isn't this cute~?' I thought to myself as I observed the gasses starting to surround me.
Giving it a light sniff and immediately finding out what they were: Sleeping gas and Tear gas. Easy enough to know what it was due to Sensei's training of villainous traps.
I still remember that gas chamber training...terrible times...this is basically child's play.
Activating my [Byakugan], I immediately spotted her within the fog of chemicals. Bringing my stealth practice to good use; I went and brought my entire presence down as if I wasn't there.
Truthfully speak, this match would have been a bit more interesting if she didn't whip out that fog. If she used that on another student, that student would have dozed to sleep by now.
Not knowing that I was just right beside her, I quickly grabbed the exoskeleton and flung it out of the stage.
"WAHH!" Momo screamed in shock as she suddenly felt weightless and was being flung out already.
*CRACK!*
Seconds later, I heard and saw her smacking onto the walls of the stadium. Though due to the fog, Midnight nor Present Mic saw where the noise originated.
Wanting to end this already, I clapped my hands, sending a strong wave of air to clear the fog out.
[And it seems the noise was Momo Yaoyorozu being thrown out of the stage! Our winner is Himiko Kan! A surprise to find out that student Himiko wasn't affected by the gas in any way!]
As Present Mic announce my win, applause thundered through the stands, a random hero caught my attention though...he seems to be weeping in joy?
Anyway, I went and helped Momo out, "You okay?"
"I am, I had this exoskeleton to protect me...was just startled due to me being flung away"
"That's good~! What did you make your armor with anyway, I am pretty sure I can rip steel beams apart" I asked curiously as we walked towards a tunnel.
"It was made from graphene, it's 200 times stronger than steel. And this exoskeleton of mines had a thick coating of it" she said in a somewhat depressed mood.
"Cheer up! I was just able to see through the fog was the reason for my easy win. If it was anyone else, they would have fallen asleep within seconds"
It seems my reasoning helping Momo with the loss, probably thinking that I somehow prepared for it coincidentally.
"I see, I'll just have to prepare even better the next time"
[Next match will begin in 5 Minutes! Asakura Vs Midoriya! Better not miss it!]

[Outside the Infirmary]
A green-haired teen was sitting outside the infirmary where his boy/best friend was in—he had a scrunched-up face whenever he remembered Recovery Girl's words about Kacchan's wellbeing.
'Asakura-san didn't have to bring Kacchan into this kind of state...she ruined Kacchan's dream of becoming a Hero!' he thought to himself.
He started to have dangerous thoughts of revenge for his best friend, "I may have to go all out in my next match; I have to bring in what I have practiced day and night!"
Midoriya found out a bit of why All Might was able to wield OFA right from the start, Midoriya tested that instead of strengthening his muscles he should strengthen his cells first then move towards the bones of his body.
He was able to reach a percentage of 35%, however, he could only maintain in for a good 5 minutes before he was out of commission.
"Don't worry Kacchan!" he said with fury in his eyes as he clenches his fists...still not knowing of the beating he's going to receive due to his stupidity.
