Izuku Yagi: The Symbol of Hope

Chapter 18: Sports Festival Commence!

Chapter 18: Sports Festival Commence!

Class 1A continued to do their training for the upcoming Sports Festival. Izuku was training with Blackwhip and One For All while coming up with a new combat style. Kenshi and Momo were having sparring sessions together, and with his mother who happens to be a martial artist. Shoto was training with his ice, refusing to use his left side. Everyone was getting prepared.

Today was the day everyone was waiting for. The day of The Sports Festival! Class 1A was in the back getting ready. Kenshi was doing a few pushups with Momo on his back.

"I'm not too heavy am I?" she asked.

"Of course not," Kenshi said with a smile, "97, 98, 99, 100!"

"This is gonna be epic," Mina said, "I wish I could've worn my costume though."

"I think its so people can see what we cana do without out support gear," Ojiro explained.

Kenshi continued doing push ups with Momo on his back. A certain canady cane boy approached him and Kenshi.

"Jotaro, Yagi," he began.

"I told you to call me Jojo."

"Relatively speaking, you're stronger than all of us," Shoto continued, "But know this. I plan to beat the two of you in the sports festival."

"A challenge? I accept," Kenshi said.

"Let's go guys," Izuku said.

The class walked outside to the stadium.

"Here comes the class from the hero course who survived a villain attack, Class 1A!" Present Mic said, "And Class 1B!"

Hayate led the class to the stadium. He looked at Kenshi and smirked at him.

"I'm gonna wipe the floor with his ass," he said to himself.

"Now, a word from out class representative, Kenshi Jotaro!" Midnight said.

Kenshi seemed a bit nervous. Momo however took his hand and guided him to the podium and handed him the microphone.

"Uhhh..... hi...... wow this is hard," Kenshi said.

He looked at Momo who mouthed, "Just breathe."

"Ok..... so most of you are unaware.... but I had a crummy childhood growing up," Kenshi said, "Mainly because of my father, trying to groom me into being someone I wasn't meant to be. The one thing that got me through it all was my mother, and my quirk. My mother told me to chase after what I sought. And I seek to be a hero. Not just any hero. But a hero who can do big and small things."

People were listening to Kenshi's speech.

"I wanna inspire people to step out of their shell and follow their passion. One of my other passions is video games. Aside from being a hero, I wanna create my own game that everyone can connect to. I'm getting off topic here. The point I'm trying to make is, no matter what obstacles come your way, don't let them stop you. Those of you who have weak quirks, or are born quirkless, you shouldn't let that stop you either. Because quirk or no quirk, you too can be a hero!"

The crowd cheered for Kenshi's speech. Aizawa was shedding tears until he saw a bowl.

"Hey who left this bowl of onions here?"

"ALRIGHT! With that out of the way, its time for the first event! An Obstacle Course around the arena!" Midnight said, "The top 42 will advance to the next round!!"

Everyone got into positions. Kenshi put on a pair of shoes worn by a certain hedgehog. Sparks were dancing around his body as he did so.

"Gotta go fast," he said.
