I was carried off on a stretcher and off into an office. I decided to take a little nap as I felt soft kisses land on my stomach, arms and legs. My escape to the dream world was short lived as she woke me up for the final fight. Still feeling drowsy I stumbled my way in the hallway looking for my class booth.
A strong hand gripped onto my shoulder stopping me from progress any further. I looked up to see AllMight. He crouched down to my height, "Young Y/N, we need to have a little talk."
"Is this because I wanted to give up so easily? I swear i--"
"No no, you're fine... We just need to talk a little bit about your quirk."
"Oh!... oh? This sounds bad, just to make sure, I'm not in any trouble right?"
"Far from it! I just want to express something to you. Not now, we have eyes watching us." I turn around but I'm met with nothing. Allmight stood tall before giving my head a small pat and walked off. I no longer felt drowsy... I finally made it back to my seat watching my two classmates throw it down.
"You decided not to use your fire?" Bakugou stood tall at the end of the match. You could tell that they were giving their all but it looks like he was holding back. He didn't receive a response. "Hey... Hey! You stop messing around! This isn't a real win for me unless you try harder! It can't end this way. Now get up! Don't‐‐"
Midnight put a hand up and stopped him from continuing his tantrum. "Todoroki is out of bounds. That means... Bakugo is the winner!"
Present Mic hummed, "And, with that, the final match is officially over! The first‐year champion of the UA Sports Festival is... Katsuki Bakugo from Class 1‐A!"
"The first‐year students have completed all of the events for the UA Sports Festival. Now it's time to relax and enjoy the awards ceremony." I dragged my body up from the chair and followed my class down the hallway to the green grass. Soft music played in the background while the crowd cheered.
"I have a question..." I asked my class as I pointed to Bakugou. "What did they do to our classmate?"
"Whoa..." Tsu looked over my shoulder to watch our classmate squirm around in the restrictions.
"What the heck?"
Kirishima turned to me, explaining "He's been goin' nuts ever since he woke up. Man, Bakugo. Pull yourself together. He's acting like a feral animal."
"Is Y/N here?" I snapped my head up when I heard my name being called. Raising my hand, Midnight spotted me in the crowd. "You need to come up here, you share the third‐place award with Tokoyami. Nobody told us beforehand, sorry."
I made my way up to the stand, pass my other classmates. I heard a few words on how I probably didn't deserve to get third place, but hell yeah I took it. Iida, Denki and Todoroki almost killed me out there. With the help of Tokoyami pulling me up and All might hoisting me up in the air. Taking my stand rightfully next to Tokoyami, all might jump onto the podium.
"Young Tokoyami, congratulations. You showed great strength out there." He grabbed a metal and put it around the males neck. He bowed as it landed nicely on his shoulders.
"Your words humble me, sir."
"However. You've more training to do if you're going to be able to fight against different kinds of villains. You're not going to be able to rely on your Quirk in every battle you face."
He then turned to me, placing one around my neck. "Young Y/N, congratulations. I want to see you push yourself further than what we all saw today. This quirk you possess is something you can wield into a strong weapon. We'll work on it."
"This is going to take a lot of work....but I'll try my best, sir!"
"Young Todoroki. Congratulations! I'm assuming there's a reason you didn't use your left side. Though it cost you the final. Midoriya opened my eyes during our match, but then I started to doubt myself. I think I now understand a little about why you're so interested in him."
Todoroki paused before accepting the medal. "I want to be the kind of hero you are, but my path isn't as clear as I thought it was. I have a lot to think about —and I still need to settle things with someone. Very soon."
"I've never seen this sort of look on your face before. I won't ask for details, but trust yourself. I'm sure you'll work things out."
"Right."
"And now, Young Bakugo. This is a little much." All might have struggled to put the medal around his neck—and if I were to be honest it looked really funny—he finally put it on. "Well, you did what you said you'd do in the pledge. You're true to your word."
He growled, "All Might. Winning first place this way doesn't prove that I'm the best one here! Even if the world considers me the winner, I refuse to accept it like this!"
"In a world where we're constantly being compared to one another. There are very few who can keep their eyes focused on the top spot. You're one of them.—don't growl at me! Still scary! Anyways, please accept this medal. Even if you have to think of it as a scar. Something you'll never forget.—"
"—I don't want that piece of garbage!"
"C'mon, now."
"Get that trash offa me, you idiot!"
The crowd cheers with excitement, as he shows us off to the world. "Here they are! The winners of this year's sports festival! But listen closely. Any of you first years could have ended up standing on these podiums. Think about what you've done today. You've challenged each other, learned, and climbed even closer toward your goals of being pros. I think the next generation of heroes is proving to be our most promising one yet! So I have one more thing to say. I want to hear everyone yell it with me.....You know what it is.... Thanks everyone and—"
The crowd shouted together "Plus Ultra!"
After helping my friend off the podium, I jumped off it myself. He returned the favor and held my hand as I dropped down next to him. Walking to our class both Mina and Uraraka engulfed me with a hug. Sweet words of praise filled my ears and I tightly held them.
When I let go I felt someone lift the medal off my neck and they put it on themselves. "You won't need this right? I can hold onto it for you—"
"Yeah right, give me my shit back—" I grabbed it back but he raised his hand fat behind his back and leaned backwards. 'What a prick'
I jumped up to reach behind him but before my feet left the ground for the fifth time, Aizawa pulled on my hoodie to turn me around to face the class. "Listen up you guys. Nice work. You have the next two days of school off to recuperate. I'm sure the pros who watched the festival will wanna recruit some of you. We'll look over the draft forms and update you when you return. Get some rest. You still have a lot of training."
"Yes, sir!"
While students were rushing to head home I tried my best to find Ryuko. I crashed into her and she engulfed me in a warm hug. She congratulated me on my semi win and Nejire was right there next to her happy as well.
"Are you planning on watching me perform next? You're going to stay right, y/n!" She pouted her lips, she even clasped her hands to beg.
"We would love to" She patted the girl's head, "But first we need to have a meeting with Y/N's teachers, then for the afternoon we're all yours." She handed the small girl a ten. "Here, keep yourself occupied for thirdy--maybe forty minutes. Can you do that for me?"
"Ey ey captain! Good luck at the meeting, I'll see you all later!" She eagerly rushed over to the food court. Someone gripped my hand and we walked slowly to the office. She hummed a soft melody before walking into an office with Aizawa.
"Pro hero Ryukyu." He greeted, standing up first before bowing.
"Eraserhead, it's good to see you." She sat down in the chair. All sense of formal silliness was thrown out the window as soon as we entered the room. "What do I owe to be met with a meeting?"
"Let's get this out of the way, It's about your child's quirk."
"Are you implying that they're not good enough to be in the USA?"
Sighing, he moved a hand through his hair. "Not at all. In fact, I'm sure they know why they're here. Time is such an important part in this world and it seems your child is holding the gateway to our future. Currently they're not able to reverse or speed up time but when they are able to learn they immediately become a weapon. Changing the past or future isn't a thing yet, but when you are able to change the past the future is lost and a new one is created. Wormholes are theoretical tunnels" through the fabric of space-time that could connect different moments or locations in reality to others. Also known as Einstein-Rosen bridges or white holes, as opposed to black holes, speculation about wormholes abounds. But despite taking up a lot of space (or space-time) in science fiction, no wormholes of any kind have been identified in real life. Even hypothetical wormholes are expected to be extremely unstable, its proven in studies."
"Are... you saying that Y/N shouldn't study here anymore? So this doesn't even become a thing?"
"Yes." He sighed, "However we have multiple sources telling us to keep you here and train you on using time as a weapon. They think it's going to be useful for future references and projects."
"You're against it however, right?"
"If villains were to get a hold of you, then the entire world would be in danger. We all could cease to exist. Time isnt a toy... however, if we were to keep experimenting then I much rather have Y/N with us then into someone else's hands."
"Mhmm... I see." Her eyes wavered to me in concern.
"I just want to express to you how dangerous your quirk is. For now you're prohibited from using it without permission or if another adult gives you permission."
"How would I train my quirk?" I asked.
He paused for a while, "All might be trying to get in contact with.... I guess you could say an old friend. He has almost the same quirk you do. For now, we're going to find you an agency that could teach you how to utilize your other skills."
"That's all for now right?"
"Yes, you're free to leave or stay and watch your other peers."
"Thank you, Eraserhead." They stood up and bowed their heads, before we left he called out my name.
"How do you feel about working with fire?"
'Oh please don't tell me...'
