MHA: A system of whimsy

*

The mood is great. The weather is just right... Fireworks next to UA. It's a real holiday...

- Here you go, young man...

- Thanks, grandma, - I bought some takoyaki and slowly walked to the academy. Well, so what? Katsuki left early in the morning and didn't even leave me anything, although it was his turn to make breakfast today. Heh... He's probably all worked up.

After entering the academy, I changed into my sports uniform, did a good warm-up, and then met Iida in the corridor.

- Oh! Koji-kun! It's time for us to go! Our exit is almost here!

- How energetic you are...

— It's a festival!

- Hah... That's true...

We met the others in the common waiting room.

And then...

"Todoroki, I have no idea why you decided to challenge me. But, the fact that you are stronger than me is beyond discussion..." Midoriya, as usual, lowered his head and began to mumble something.

Looks like Todoroki challenged him. Interesting... I remember such a case.

"Would you like some?" I offered Iida some takoyaki, but he ignored me.

I shrugged and walked over to everyone, sitting down opposite Momo.

—... and yet, if we talk about others, they are here for a reason too...

Midoriya continued...

He's a funny guy... Pathetic, but funny. At least he started training, a year ago he was just a whiner.

Finally, these boring speeches came to an end, I winked at Yaoyorozu, and then we all moved onto the "stage"...

— Hey! Distinguished guests, and all media! We have gathered here to announce the start of the event! As part of U.A. High School, it's time to give it a go! Are you ready? — Present Mic announced the start of the Festival, as usual, grimacing and shouting:

- And we will start with those who enter the first class stage!

Well, our turn is...

Mick introduced one class after another, and eventually we all lined up in front of a small podium where Midnight stood.

"Mm, she's hot..."

I've seen her previous costumes... This one is still quite modest, although it was still damn charming. Her face, her figure, even her voice... She was a natural seductress and used it well.

However, I haven't made any plans for her yet. I received the assignment a long time ago, but realizing my plans within the Academy won't be easy at all. It's better to start with easier goals.

And then, when I was already bored...

— Your attention, student Koji Bakugo from class 1-A!

Seriously? Why me?

Ha-ah... Well, yes, there are plenty of reasons...

I had to go out anyway.

After exchanging glances with Midnight, I approached the microphone:

- Ahem... Salute.

Everyone was silent, although someone was whispering downstairs...

Noticing Katsuki among the crowd, I remembered something, which made a cold smile appear on its own:

- Today my little brother didn't make me breakfast, for which I'll give him a good scolding!

- WHAT DID YOU SAY?! - He immediately exploded.

The others clearly didn't understand the meaning of my words. But it's understandable... Only Katsuki could cause problems here.

I laughed:

- As for you... Weaklings. Try not to swallow dust. Class A will smear you on the wall!

The crowd immediately exploded with shouts!

- YOU BASTARD!

— SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

- UGLY!

- WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!

Laughing contentedly, I went down to my people. Katsuki immediately ran up and growled:

- I'll kill you!

- If you can, I will cook for you for the rest of your life.

- Grrr!

- Ha-ha-ha! Good speech, bro! - Kirishima supported me. Although, you can't say the same about the others...

Still, I put the responsibility on them... Well, it doesn't matter. Class A will take up more places anyway. My speech will do them good. Let them try harder.

Well, after that, Midnight announced our first "game"...

Obstacle race.

Things didn't seem to be going much further than normal so far. This was going to be interesting. If I could win, the second challenge would be a challenge. However, once the rules for the first game were set, I realized that I would definitely have to take first place...

["The Best". Special assignment.

Conditions of completion: take first place at each competition of the Sports Festival.

Reward: 50,000 System Points. Quirk: Steal]

This was the main task, but not the only one!

["Without Obstacles". 1 of 3.

Conditions of completion: Complete the obstacle race without using the Blast Wave.

Reward: 10,000 System Points]

When I saw this building, I thought gloomily...

Firstly, it was difficult, and secondly... The reward was so-so, and I couldn't not do it.

Interesting...

Although, I should probably be happy, because by the end of the day I could easily collect several tens of thousands of points. It's worth considering that I recently bought DNA Expansion and could finally get those quirks that I've been putting off for so long. What's most interesting is that I could also get Steal! I've never seen a whole quirk as a reward for a quest before.

In fact, I can get almost a hundred thousand points in one day. Of course, if the following tasks will give no less than ten thousand.

Well, I'll have to work hard.

The first mission shouldn't be difficult if I "take care" of Midoriya and use his explosion trick. Then I'll definitely win...

Let's begin!

*

The first game is an obstacle race.

Actually, I could rely on Cold-Blooded and run faster, but even so, I would hardly be able to overtake everyone. Besides, I knew who would be the winner. Even if they didn't do it this time, I would do it myself.

So, we found ourselves at the start, and then the signal sounded, and everyone rushed forward, sparing no effort!

Of course, predictably, Todoroki used the ice and got ahead, but I calmly sent energy to my legs and ran along the vertical wall.

*whoosh*

I broke free from the crush and then jumped onto the ice. It was slippery, but thanks to the greater strength in my legs, I could literally press the sole of my foot into the ice, thereby calmly pushing off and moving forward.

Todoroki grimaced at how easily I was breaking through his ice. In fact, if he had used more strength, it would have been harder for me, but the weak crust could only slow down those who did not have much strength in their legs. Mine was enough to crush someone's skull. And all this without explosions. If I had used them, I would have already pulled ahead.

And then...

- Not so fast, bastards! I won't lose to you! - came from behind.

*Boom**Boom**Boom*

Katsuki rushed forward, as did many of our class. But that's when we encountered our first "obstacles."

- Hey! This is...

— Aren't these the "villains" from the entrance exam?!

I stopped too. But it wasn't the obstacle that worried me, it was something else...

I hope I haven't overdone it? My super strength and speed may raise questions, but I don't think I'll be called in for questioning because of that... Many heroes without enhancements show similar standards, so it shouldn't be a problem. And I've shown atypical results before...

In any case, I was ready. I couldn't be "paranoid" about it all the time, could I? I did, of course, slow down so as not to get separated from the crowd, but I already had a plan for victory.
