A/N: Hey everyone I'm back. We're finally beginning the sports festival now, The first half will be in this chapter and ill do my best to cram the rest of it into the next chapter. I hope I'm doing this ok and I hope you are all enjoying it too. If you are, please leave a favourtie and maybe a review as it lets me know what im doing is right and people are enjoying it and to me thats all that matters. Thank you and i hope you enjoy.

Our training time has flown by. Tomorrow, the competition that everyone all over the country will be watching with bated breath is going to begin. The Sports Festival has everyone hyped and raring to go, well that's how it may appear, but it is clear a lot of nervousness and doubt will be hidden and tucked away inside every single competitor. For today and today only, Venom and I trained with everyone else in the day to try and get rid of the rumors that we were up to something and that we had some sort of secret weapon on our side, we were being watched persistently all day, trying to see if we were going to give any clues or slip up in our training. We almost did get caught Iida found a giant pile of robot carcasses that we forgot to clean up the night before, luckily, we were not suspected.

The night before everyone was so jumpy and many of them declared that they were going to be early to get a good rest for the big day tomorrow. Obviously, our group did not think that way and as It was getting late, we were sent to bed by Aizawa.

"If you're not in your rooms in the next five seconds, I'll keep you up all night doing pointless reading and copying!" Aizawa shouted at us.

Mina, Kirishima, Kaminari and Sero all immediately rushed up to bed whereas Bakugo and I followed slowly behind them as we padded up the stairs to our floor. We walked together in silence to our rooms as they were opposite each other, which was a little awkward, to say the least. I got to my door and unlocked it, I opened it and was about to say goodnight when Bakugo finally spoke.

"Hey…" he grumbled in his gritty voice

I turned my head to him

"You better not lose until we get a chance to fight, I wanna kick your ass so hard, Alien freak!" He said on the verge of shouting. Only my class knew the true story about Venom's background.

"I thought Mina was the Alien freak?" I said teasingly, trying to wind him up

"Shut the fuck up!" He shouted loudly

At that point, Todoroki popped his head out of his room.

"I don't know about you Bakugo but some people are trying to sleep here" He said then yawned, looking visibly tired.

"Fuck off you half and half bastard this doesn't concern you" Bakugo retorted

Todoroki retreated to his room, then Bakugo did the same.

"Just don't lose…" He said as he closed his door

I smiled and went into my room "… You too Bakugo" I whispered to myself.

TIME-SKIP

It was finally time now. Everyone had assembled in the arena and was waiting to be called out into the center. The roars from the crowd practically shook the stadium as they waited impatiently for the games to begin. As usual, everyone was in their own little groups, chatting about how nervous they were or about how they were going to crush this entire thing, I'm pretty sure you can guess who that was. Class 1-B was also with us at our gate, there were four gates in total in the arena to hold the students from all four courses at UA: The Hero course, The General Studies course, The Support course, and The Business course. I stood by myself away from my group, trying to get mentally prepared, Bakugo and Todoroki had the same idea as me.

"Your heart rate is increasing, calm down" Venom chimed in out of nowhere

"Good to see you're actually looking out for me. Don't worry I'm not scared, I'm excited" I added

"Of course I'm looking out for you, if you die, I die" he deadpanned

"And here was me thinking that you were just doing it out of the goodness of your heart, but I forgot, you don't have a heart" I spat back

"I know you have one, and it's looking particularly juicy and tasty right now" he said jokingly

"I'll kill both of us before you even go near my heart you little freeloading shit" at that point, an alarm started to go off inside our gate and it started to open, signaling us to move out into the open.

"Let's kill this thing… partner" I grinned

"How touching… you got it"

Along with everyone else, I made my way out into the open. The moment the first person stepped foot outside, the crowd went absolutely wild, nobody had seen what this new year could do and were anxious to see what we could do. Throughout the crowd were Pro Hero's looking at the next generation of future hero's and scouting them out for possible internships with them. Not going to lie, even I was a little intimidated by the sheer vastness of the numbers that were here at the stadium. Everyone that was competing congregated in front of a podium that the R rated hero, Midnight was standing on top of. She greeted everyone and thanked them for coming out today and the crowd continued their raucous roar.

"Now, how about we hear from the best performing student from our hero course to kick us off today! Katsuki Bakugo come up and give us some words of encouragement!" She shouted out

Everyone in the stadium started to die down in anticipation of what Bakugo was going to say. Everyone from our classes jaw's dropped when we heard that Bakugo had to do a speech, some turned away and others covered their ears. I just sighed and closed my eyes, waiting for disaster to happen…

"I just wanna say that…"

The anticipation was killing me and everyone else

"…I'm gonna win this thing"

I immediately facepalmed, no doubt did everyone else in the class. A sea of boos erupted from the crowds and the other competitors started to shout abuse at him. He just nonchalantly walked down from the podium and stood back in his original position.

"He couldn't have fucked that up anymore, could he?" I said to myself, opening my eyes

Midnight returned to the microphone

"Uh… w-well thank you for that Bakugo" She calmed the crowds back down "Now with everything out of the way, we have a very special guest joining us today to help host our annual UA Sports Festival. Please give a very warm welcome-"

I could hear that iconic laughter that everyone knows behind me and I smiled waiting for him to appear

"-to our Number One Hero: All Might!

All Might jumped off the top of the stadium and landed directly on the podium, sending shockwaves through the air and large gusts of wind into the crowd. Once the waves had past crowd erupted into an even more ecstatic roar. All Might took the mic from Midnight

"This Sports Festival is going to be the best one yet. Why?-"

The crowd prepared themselves and said in unison

"Because I am here!" All Might smiled hearing the crowd say it with him

"He sure knows how to make people happy, huh?" I said to myself.

Midnight was given back the mic and turned her attention to the large screen behind her

"Now its time to find out what our first activity of the day is"

The board started to show a selection of activities for the first round of the Sports Festival and started to spin through them until it stopped.

"And the first round is… The Obstacle Course!"

I grinned devilishly, whatever came up anyway I would be happy with because I know I could crush it easily, but it sounded almost too easy.

"If all the competitors could make their way to the right gate please, we're about to begin!"

I was surprised that we were starting straight away. We all made our way and assembled in front of the gate and waited. You could see the light at the other end of the tunnel, some people looked raring to go, others looked really nervous. At this point, Present Mic began to explain to the crowd how the Obstacle Course works. Venom took the incentive to block out the sound he was making so I couldn't hear anything. I closed my eyes and started to mentally prepare myself. Obviously, I wanted to win but all I had to do was finish well. I'm not a sore loser, as long as I know that I gave it my best that's all that matters to me.

"Don't worry Akira, we've got this" Venom assured me

"Thanks, Venom, if it's possible, I don't want to use our true form, not unless we have too. I'm sure we can win this thing without using it."

"Aww, and here's me thinking that I would get to have some fun" he said jokingly

"We'll see" Venom gave me my hearing back as Present Mic began to count down.

"..5, 4, 3, 2, ,1." A loud buzzer sounded, and the gate opened "Its time to rock and roll!"

Instantly, a stampede broke out as everyone rushed to get out. I jumped up above them all and venomised my arms and legs allowing me to stick to the wall and I ran along it towards the exit. I looked down and saw the rampaging students all squashed together. I turned my arms into tendrils which shot forward, grabbing onto the edge of the exit and I pulled myself out. As I did so, I saw Todoroki turn the ground to ice, stopping everyone in their tracks and he shot ahead. Unsurprisingly, others in our class were able to overcome the ice with ease. I was hot on his tail and ran after him, saying that he was incredibly fast on ice. Not much later, we had arrived at the first obstacle, a swarm of robots. I grinned, I had been training against spare robots exactly like these so it would be a piece of cake. The only ones I was worried about were the 0 pointers from the entrance exam, they were huge. As the rest of the pack began to catch up, I had cleaned up most of the smaller robots and approached one of the 0 pointers and began to climb up it. I didn't see any point in trying to destroy it. Todoroki had other ideas though, he was able to destroy his in one hit creating a huge spike of ice.

"Show off" Venom grumbled

He deliberately destroyed his in order to slow everyone down, but we weren't about to let him get away. The next obstacle looked a little trickier. It consisted lots of small platforms connected together by a web of ropes. This was much more up our street. We were able to jump from platform to platform without needing to use the ropes and was far ahead of Todoroki. I grinned and laughed, it looked like I was going to win this, but the smile was wiped off my face when I saw the last obstacle, a huge minefield. I had to slow down and take my time which allowed everyone to catch up, my lead was lost in a matter of minutes as both Bakugo and Todoroki were in hot pursuit of me

"Get back here you Alien Freak!" Bakugo was able to fly right over the mines.

We fought between each other for first place, but I was caught off guard by Bakugo's explosion and the noise it made gave Venom and I excruciating pain, we don't do well with loud noises or fire. I was stunned for a few seconds allowing them to roar away in front of me. I went to run after them when I heard a huge explosion behind me, I turned around to look, a mine couldn't have done that. From the pink smoke that it made, something emerged. It was Midoriya, on a piece of robot armor. My mouth dropped as I saw him fly over me and land between Bakugo and Todoroki and then make another explosion, knocking the both of them out of the way, allowing him to take first place.

"When we first saw that kid, we didn't think he would make it, now look at him. He's unbelievable" I smiled

I ran after the leaders and made it to the end of the minefield and was able to see the end of the course. After a minute the top three had finished and so did I. It was Midoriya first with Bakugo and Todoroki following in second and third. I felt a little bad that I wasn't able to make the podium spots but fourth isn't bad. I sat down out of breath as the rest of the competitors finally started to come through the finish. I sighed and looked up into the sky.

"And the day's only just beginning…"
