บท 121: Start of the festival.
Walking through a dark tunnel Shun who heard the cheers of the people out there smiled and said, "I checked the stadium before coming to the changing room, there are way too many people out there. Not to mention most of them are heroes who are looking for sidekicks from the infamous first years."
All of his classmates looked at him and had different expressions on their faces after hearing his words.
Most of them like Izuku were nervous. Bakugo being Bakugo got even more excited and Todoroki just remained calm.
As they got closer to the exit All of them heard Present Mic's voice announcing their arrival.
Walking out onto the field the sight of people sitting all around the stadium comprising of heroes, businessmen, and civilians welcomed the students of class 1-A.
Seeing such a huge number of people present together Shun thought, 'Oh how I would love to have a large number of villains appear out of nowhere and attack these idiots who have a lot of time in their hands, so that no such event occurs again.'
After having such a peaceful thought Shun and his class lined up in front of a stage as the rest of the classes started showing up as well.
"Hey Itsuka."
"Hey Shun."
Facing the ginger head Shun waved his hand making the gi ger head from class 1-B walk towards him.
Immediately the most of the boys from 1-A looked at the scene with their eyes widened a bit as they started checking out Itsuka.
"So I heard from Monoma that you are aiming for the win. Is that true?"
"Yep."
"Really? Wow, that's a surprise. Never thought that you will do something like that?"
"Yeah, me neither. But I got some 'motivation'. So I will warn you, for the duration of the tournament you are not getting any special treatment if you get in my way."
"Ooh looks like you are getting really competitive. I am glad that you are enjoying this."
Shun just looked at her with a deadpan look on his face and said, "You know better than anyone that I am not enjoying it."
"Really?"
".... Okay a bit."
"Haha see I know how you feel."
"Alright whatever. Best of luck to you."
Shun then looked at the 1-B students who were looking at them and said, "Best of luck to you guys as well."
"Thanks."
"Hmph! We will defeat 1-A today!"
"Good luck to you too, Kazami!!"
Probably being the only student from 1-A who was on good terms with the students of class 1-B, the rest of 1-A looked at their class president with looks of awe and surprise.
"Hey Kazami! Who was that super hot chick you were talking to?"
Not wasting a moment Kaminari immediately got onto the topic that he was interested in which gathered the attention of the other students as well.
"She's my friend from junior high. Now focused all the classes are here an- What the hell is Midnight doing there in that costume!!!"
Hearing Shun's comment all the students who were near y hi. turned towards the stage and looked at Midnight who was standing on top of the stage in her overly sexy body suit.
"Now the introductory speech!"
Just as Midnight came on the stage all the males from both students and the audience got silent and looked towards the stage with full focus.
'Whoever was incharge of the first years was hell bent on making the festival popular.' thought Shun as he could easily guess why the first years who were the most popular of all the years got Midnight as the chief referee.
"Well not a bad decision I guess." muttered Shun and immediately felt his hand getting pinched.
Turning his head to the side Shun saw Itsuka who was looking at him with a displeased look and a pout on her face while pinching his hand.
"...I am a healthy growing teen, I am bound to get sawed by my hormones from time to time." said Shun.
"...Idiot." muttered Itsuka as she stopped pinching Shun and walked away.
"Silence everyone! And for the student pledge we have KATSUKI BAKUGO!"
Just as his name was announced everyone from 1-A looked at the blonde explosive boy with shocked look on their faces.
"He is the first year rep?"
"I guess that hot head finished first inthe entrance test."
"Huh?"
"The one for the hero course." said a girl from normal course as she looked towards the hero course students with an annoyed look on her face.
"I guess the hero course students are not that popular?"
"Well we have Bakugo to thank for that. He did pissed off everyone."
"Oh just you wait I am guess that Katsuki is just going to add more oil to that fire." said Shun as he looked at Bakugo who was climbing to the top of the stage.
Hearing him the students from 1-A ran through various scenarios in their heads and could totally imagine Bakugo doing something like that.
Bakugo who was now in front of the mic stood with his hands in his pockets and a bored look on his face.
"I just wanna say, I'm gonna win."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"What the hell was that!?!?"
"Don't get full of yourself 1-A!!!"
"We will crush you!!!"
"Ah,the hate these guys have for us is gonna spice things up. I am starting to like this atmosphere." said Shun as he could totally see that many students were now going to do their best to crush his class.
"Geez, now every department is going to aim for us?"
"They were going to do so from the beginning anyway, this will just make the competition livelier."
Shun then walked towards the blond explosion boy and said, "Good job, Katsuki. Let me pat you back for saying such motivational words."
Shun then patted Bakugo's back making the him click his tongue in annoyance.
"Kazami, don't forget all of you, including you, are just stepping stones for my success."
"Hahahaha!!"
"What's so funny about that?" asked Bakugo as he looked at Shun who was laughing.
Shun just laughed for a bit longer before coming to a stop as he gave a final pat to his back and walked away from him.
'Stepping stone for your success...now those words reminds me of dad....and I don't like it.' Shun thought as he clenched his fist a bit as the image of his father flashed through his mind.
"Without further ado it's time for us to get started!"
Snapping out of his thoughts on hearing Midnight's voice Shun stopped clenching his fist and looked towards the stage.
Soon a huge board appeared on top of the stage seeing which all the students widend their eyes.
"The first fateful game of the festival. What could it be?"
"Ta-da!" said Midnight as the words "Obstacle course" appeared on the board.
"So it's going to be an obstacle course."
"Yeah, let's crush those 1-A jerks!"
"We will show them their place!"
Hearing the comments around him that were mostly insults towards 1-A Shun was confused whether they were excited for the event or for defeating his class.
After hearing all the rules and other nonsense the students were taken to a narrow tunnel and were told to prepare for the start.
The student of 1-A except for Shun were totally focused as they knew how important it was for them to pass through the first round and show their abilities to the pros out there.
"You ready for this Shun?" asked Itsuka whom Shun brought along with him so as to make sure that someone with the dangerous quirks amongst the students whom he checked with his appraisal won't use it on her.
"Yeah, but I don't think that two students from different classes should talk to each other right now."
"Oh come on, we are friends."
"Yes, yes we are but for the duration of the game I am going to treat you like an annoying seat partner like you were back from the beginning of the first year of our junior high."
"Wah! How could you?! And I was not annoying!!"
"Trust me Itsuka. You totally were."
"Totally was not!"
"Totally were."
"Was not!"
"You were."
"Argh! You are so mean!"
"You realise that now?" asked Shun with a sarcastic tone.
Shun just chuckled seeing the annoyed look on Itsuka's face making the ginger head even more pissed at him.
"Anyways it is getting a lot rowdy at the front." commented Shun as he looked at the people who were pushing eachother to get inthe front.
"Well can't blame them, that's a very sweet spot. I would have been there as well if someone haven't pulled me all the way here."
"Hey, I am just looking out for you. I don't want you getting mixed up in the crowd and some pervert taking advantage of the surroundings and feeling up your body."
"H-Huh?"
Itsuka who now heard the reason as to why Shun took her with him blushed a bit and got quiet.
"I-Is that s-so. Thank you for taking care of me."
"Don't mention it. And regarding getting a spot there at the front. Don't worry I will make sure to compensate you for pulling you away."
"Uh-hm. Okay." said Itsuka in a meek tone still feeling embarassed and happy at Shun's earlier words.
