Deku Flexes on the Competition!!!
“Speech” Thoughts
Hope you like it ;;
Deku breathed in deeply, resisting the manic grin that threatened to fall onto his face as he surveyed the large cafeteria. Suddenly, Todoroki jerkedly stood up, walking over in his direction. Standing up himself, the greenette stared deeply into the dual-haired boy’s eyes, though he had to Push himself off the floor to accommodate for his lack of height.
“Midoriya,” Todoroki whispered, glaring into his eyes. “Objectively I’m stronger than you. I’ve felt myself drawn towards you recently, but I’m going to set that aside and fight you, man to man.”
“Hey Todoroki, you shouldn’t really-” Kirishima cut himself off as Deku sent him a glare.
“Todoroki, I don’t know where you get your delusions but I’m going to promise you something as well, you can’t beat me if you’re just half assing your way through every fight, so don’t expect an overwhelming victory, or you’ll be sorely disappointed.” With those words Izuku spun around, his heavy combat boots clicking loudly behind him.
Wow, a little harsh but I agree that he should use his full power.
Yeah… something seems off about that guy… Deku shrugged off the concern instead concentrating for a second to embiggen his ‘seeing’ bubble. Since his glasses came in he constantly wore them so he could actually read things, he left them back today because they would only be a hindrance. He didn’t need the distraction of taking care of them during combat.
A rush of images, people, things, heroes flooded the mindscape. With a loud sigh Izuku went about organizing all of the new objects, sorting the people into the indeterminate aisle. He couldn’t know if they were heroes or villains without meeting them after all.
“AND NOW THE CLASS THAT LIVED THROUGH AN ACTUAL VILLAIN ATTACK THIS YEAR, WE HAVE CLASS 1A!!!” Present Mic’s voice boomed through the stadium, signifying class 1A to walk out. The light and roar of the crowd was a welcome feeling, it washed over Deku, energizing him as he waved energetically. Once all the classes were inside and lined up, Katsuki was called to perform a speech.
Please please don’t be a jerk Kacchan… Izuku said, nervous for what his childhood friend would say.
“I just want to say… I’m going to win.”
A roar of disapproval and a large amount of jeers followed the speech, booing flung in class 1A’s general direction.
“You think you’re all that!!”
“Don’t get cocky 1A!!”
And, strangely, Tokage and Kuroiro shouted, “Kick their asses Midori!!” Oh well, he’ll have to treat them to some boba or something tomorrow.
“WOW!! WHAT A DECLARATION MADE BY OUR RESIDENT ANGRY POMERANIAN!!!!” Present Mic shouted into the microphone. Wait, what did Mic stand for? Microphone? Micheal? Michelle? Michall? Motorcycle?
Heh, Presentation Motorcycle.
Pay attention Deku, we are about to start. Sure enough, everyone else was heading to the starting line.
“Ochaco, want a free ride?” Deku murmured, jerking his head toward the obstacle course. He could already feel the entire thing from where he was standing, so he just completely ignored Midnight’s explanation when she spoke.
“No, I want to get there with my own power, not ride off of you.”
Deku couldn’t help himself, he had to say it. “You can ride me any day my lady,” before bowing deeply and walking away, leaving his girlfriend a sputtering mess. Huh, his girlfriend. Strange thought.
“AND STAAAAAAAAAART!!!”
Deku immediately floated into the air, soaring over the crowd of students stuck in the small passage. To be honest this course didn’t seem like they expected someone with flight to participate in.
“Ah, the first real obstacle, the gate. If students don’t hurry up they could get stuck and trampled by their classmates,” Aizawa’s deadpan voice called out, echoing across the loud stadium.
“THAT’S RIGHT!! SO WATCH OUT!!!”
Deku just snorted, watching as Todoroki froze the floor, pressing onward without hesitation. At this point, Presentation Motorcycle’s constant shrilling was getting annoying so he turned it out, hoping he didn’t say anything important. Yaoyorozu created a poll from her hand, propelling herself over the frozen floor, while Katsuki just used his explosions to soar through the air. Mineta actually made it through as well, leaping to the half-hot half-cold user’s back.
“My one way ticket to first place!!” The pervert screamed, before a robot fist smacked into the purple haired midget’s face, flinging him into the floor.
“Big ouch bitch,” Deku muttered, Pushing harder on the ground and soaring high into the air. Truth be told he could speed ahead, but wanted to observe everyone’s quirks while they are operating.
“So these are what you fought at the entrance exam… seems trivial…” Todoroki frostily claimed, freezing the entirety of the zero pointers with one giant wave of ice, before sliding out from underneath it. Glancing a back, the ghost of a smile hit his lips. “Careful, I froze them while they were unsteady.”
Deku snorted, of course he did that one purpose. Feeling two people rush outward, he recognized them as Tetsutetsu and Kirishima. Instead of trying to save them, he let them get crushed by the robot only to resurface.
“Dammit Todoroki!! If that was anyone else they would be dead!!” Kirishima yelled.
“That wasn’t manly!!” both Kirishima and Tetsutetsu screamed, before staring at each other. “Stop copying me! Stop it!”
It took all of his will power to not chortle in the air right then, instead just shooting forward with a grin. The irony was not lost to him, oh how he hoped that they would fight each other in the inevitable tournament in the end. Having seen enough of the quirks of his schoolmates to formulate a plan, Deku shot forward, Pulling on the distant stadium. To keep himself in the center of the course he Pushed lightly off the trees below him to correct his trajectory. Once past the robots, and indisputably in first place, Deku lowered to the ground, Pushing off of a punch of random gen ed students behind him, using them as anchors to propel himself forward.
The minefield was the next obstacle after the pits, and it was comically easy to just float over it, he almost felt bad for UA making such a useless event.
Should we have a bit of fun? Deku asked, smiling smugly as he felt people trying to cross the wires. Todoroki was the closest and he was still not even past said pits.
Oh please don’t do it- Izuku cut himself off as he saw Deku Pull on every one of the mines in the field. The headache that formed was nearly instantaneous, but the explosion rocketed into the air was ginormous, the pink smoke billowing up before slowly falling down, blanketing this part of the course with smoke. Fighting back the need to clutch his head, Deku shrugged the tension out of his shoulders and walked through the finish line, welcoming the cheers of support.
“AND FIRST PLACE IS IZUKU “DEKU” MIDORIYA WITH AN OVERWHELMINGLY AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!!!” Present Mic screamed. It did not help his headache.
“Fucking quirk exhaustion,” Deku muttered, going to a wall and sliding down onto the floor, ralling his head back and closing his eyes. He shrunk his seeing bubble to just a few meters, which helped the throbbing die down quite a bit.
I tried to stop you, Izuku said, peering at one of the VHS’ of a random person. Tossing it aside, before turning around and putting his hands on his hips, pursing his lips and glaring at Deku. I knew that it would hurt, but noooo, poor little midget Izuku isn’t ever right.
Shut up Zuku, I’ll fight you.
Good luck, Izuku snarked, going back to sorting everyone. Oh, also Endeavor is here, and he really is a little dick.
Wait, are you saying he doesn’t just have little dick energy, but he has an actual little dick?? Deku asked.
Yup, Izuku replied with a grin. The one bad part about ‘seeing’ everything in such great detail is that it sees… everything. He has long since been desensitized to it, having had to deal with it as a five year old child. Actually… now that Deku thinks about it… he hasn’t stopped using his quirk since he was four years old. That is a scary thought. Even in his sleep it was active, just simmering reduced to a few feet. Literally nothing ever caught him unawares unless he was really tired.
I’m addicted to quirk use, no, we are addicted to quirk use. Deku mused, shaking his head. By now everyone else had filed into the entrance, and Deku’s headache had subsided to more of a dull thrum then the ever constant throbbing it was before.
“All right my youthful competitors!” Midnight screamed. How the R rated hero had been chosen to announce a bunch of first years was beyond him. “The next event is…”
There was a cheesy drumroll coming from the speakers, the greenette rolled his eyes, folding his arms and taking his place between Katsuki and Ochaco.
“Cops and Robbers!!!”
“Cops and robbers?” Ochaco asked, confused.
“We called it heroes and fucking weaklings,” Katsuki replied. Well, since when did they get along so well?
“Very funny, now, lets listen to her explanation.”
Midnight smiled at the crowd, very obviously trying to accentuate her assets as she rubbed her arms to her side. “Yes! Just like the game we all played as kids! You will come into groups of three or four, choosing one champion among you. You have to protect the champion as well as capture other champions at the same time! You will be given a station to hold them in, complete with quirk suppressant cuffs to guarantee no champions are cheating and breaking themselves out.”
“If your champion is captured, then you must find the key to the cuffs among one of the other teams! Now, you have ten minutes to make a team and ask me any questions!!”
Deku paused, he knew what Izuku said, that he would let him do the sports festival, but Izuku was much better at team exercises… No, he can do this.
“Katsuki? I know you wanna fight me and I wanna fuck with you too, but I got a fucking good plan so team with me.”
“What’s your plan?” Katuski asked, peering suspiciously into Deku’s excited eyes.
“We are going to get every single point in the game.” The savage grin that smacked onto his face made Deku grin as well, their eyes darting to Ochaco, who was already promising to join their team.
“I wanna invite one more person,” Deku whispered, looking around and finding the person.
“Yui!! Wanna join our team?” Said kuudere just turned around slowly, nodding her head. “Alright! I’ll explain the plan…”
After a thorough explanation of his intended strategies, Deku couldn’t help but grin, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. Their capture zone was, hilariously, a bunch of poles that stuck up from the ground. His area was marked with green tape around the outside, due to him being the champion of their little team.
“Three!”
I hope this works… Izuku muttered.
“Two!”
It will, I’m ten million after all.
“One!”
Every single muscle in Deku’s body tensed, waiting patiently was not his strong suit and he felt that right now more than ever.
“GO!!!”
At once most, if not all, of the other teams sprung towards their location. Katsuki grinned evilly before slamming a fist into the ground, a giant explosion rocketing into the ground, bringing forth a large amount of smoke as well as dust, blocking everyone’s vision but one person’s. Deku.
“Now Yui!!”
Said girl picked up some pebbles, passing them to Ochaco who made them weightless, then allowed Deku to Pull them around him. There were about a dozen of them, which might not seem like a lot but it was more than enough for his purposes. There were only a dozen teams here. As Izuku had guessed everyone had had their champions hang back to avoid getting captured.
Bursting from the screams of pain as Katsuki ripped through all the extras, with Yui and Ochaco playing support for him. It was quite entertaining to feel his team rip through everyone else by simple misdirection. Katsuki would leap forward, blasting between two teams and making them attack in between them, hitting each other.
Honenuki was the first champion that Deku found, and due to him not actually touching the floor, his quirk was useless. “C’mon Mido-” The Attack on Titan looking-ass boy was cut off by a swift kick to the back of the neck. Picking the boy up, Deku shot off, depositing the unconscious teen onto the floor, hoping his teammates will take care of him.
As Deku went to fly off, he felt a large chunk of ice hit him in the side. Da fuck? How…
It clicked together, Yaoyorozu and Todoroki were using Iida as a person to kidnap and grab other’s champions while sticking back and using long range attacks. Kaminari was there for crown control.
Smart bastards, must’ve used the fucking cannon as a way to slip past my defenses…
Rubbing the sour spot, Deku caught the piece of ice with a Pull, bringing it up to his chest before rocketing it to the cannon. It destroyed it easily.
“That’s what you get mother fucker!!”
The sound of his voice alerted everyone else of his whereabouts unfortunately, but that was no matter. Deku was prepared for this sort of thing. “Yui, grow!!” Flinging the dozen stones that had been trailing behind him to the awaiting attacks, both Ochaco and Yui slapped their finger tips together, making the pebbles grow in size and gain their weight back. Because Deku was pushing on the pebbles when they increased in size and weight, he shot into the air, going in an arc and landing straight on Kendo. The impact jarred him but knocked out the poor girl.
Hey Deku… can we try something out? Izuku asked, and the greenette instantly knew what he wanted.
Sure, but only if it's for Monoma.
I thought you liked him?
I do, but I also want to beat his ass. With those words spoken, Izuku turned his attention to Monoma. He felt the inside of the boy, his mouth, heart, intestines, brain. There! Brain… A slight nudge to the brain caused it to crash into the boy’s head, knocking him out instantly.
It worked.
I can tell. Deku replied sarcastically, going to pick the boy up as well as make sure Kendo was still knocked out. Using his newfound power of instantly knocking someone out with a nudge, Deku just nudged on every champion's brain, excluding Todoroki because he still wanted to fight their team and beat his ass to the ground.
In the distance he heard Present Mic scream about how the kids are randomly getting knocked out only for “the green demon of class 1A” to pick them up.
“Jeez Deku, we might not have enough cuffs for this…” Ochaco commented, dodging a swipe from one of the people. By now the smoke had cleared by the passing wind, though it didn’t help their opponents. The students all tried to reach them, getting run over by each other in the mad dash for the ten million point team.
He actually saw Mineta smashed into the ground, though he couldn’t tell if that was intentional because the pervert did something or not. Something flew toward him, and Izuku, not wanting to get another bruised rib, just Pushed on the tape, flinging it back to it’s user.
Sero was now caught in a collection of his own tape and a bunch of purple balls. Serves him right. Deku landed on the floor, dumping all of the champions there quickly, feeling the headache come on already.
Goddammit why does it hurt so much? Deku thought, trying to ignore the throbbing pain.
Because someone had to show off in the first event. Izuku lectured, obviously shaking his head.
Not the time.
Ice suddenly engulfed his vision, actually, it engulfed all his senses. He was up to his neck in ice.
“I’ve noticed you use your hands to gesture where things will go, can’t have that happen.” Todoroki’s monotone voice called, staring at him blankly. Deku just sighed.
I don’t really do that?
I do too, but it is unnecessary.
“You poor, poor fool.” Deku said, Pulling on one of the scraps from the cannon. Todoroki’s eyes widened and he lunged to the floor as said piece of machinery hit the ice that was binding him in place, shattering it.
“I hate to fight and run… but,” Deku gestured around himself as vines, rape, glue, and all sorts of quirks were activated on his position. Pushing on the floor he rocketed upward, flying high into the sky and dodging everything. Falling back down, Deku grabbed Yaoyorozu in a chokehold. This proved to be his detriment when said recommended student made a poll with her back and it flung into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him.
Using this time of weakness to her advantage, Yaoyorozu snatched a pair of quirk suppressant cuffs onto his wrists, binding him to the pole.
In an instant he was blind. Deku was gone. No Deku. Only Izuku. No sight. Izuku couldn’t stop the panic that weld up in him. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t feel. Deku was gone. Blind.
Blind, I’m blind. In an instant Izuku knew what his classmates meant when they said that they were scared villains would attack them. He felt so exposed, no sight, no feeling. Everything was just a blur of color that blended together terribly.
It was like a tsunami, the panic just washed everything else away and Izuku began viciously pulling on the quirk suppressant cuffs, his breathing so quick he doubted oxygen actually got into his lungs.
Deku!! DEKU!! DEKU!! Little did Izuku know that he was also screaming this aloud, the whole stadium hearing his maniac-like panic.
With an all mighty tear he heard a popping noise before feeling flooded back into him, he could feel the bumps in the floor, the pores in everyone’s faces, the individual grains of sand that floated around in the air. It all came back to him. Deku’s reassuring presence returned and immediately he felt so much relief he could hardly breath. Why did that happen? Was it because… the quick suppressant gloves? Well that affirms the theory that Deku was part of his quirk.
Looking down he saw his bloody wrist, the thumb was popped out of its socket, resting loosely by his palm. The cuffs had dug into his wrist and the majority of the skin along the back of his hand was ripped off. The pain hit him all at once, and he shuddered. Dimly he heard Midnight call the match, declaring Team Todoroki the winner, with him in second place. There was going to be another match so that they will have two more teams of four. It didn’t matter. The only thing that mattered was Deku was back and the pain.
As Izuku was carted off by the medical droids, the last thing he saw before falling unconscious was the concerned looks of his classmates, staring at his quivering forms.
