My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!!

Chapter 31 - Obstacle Course

As soon as the race started, Aiden noticed that the tunnel was way to narrow and knew that going through it using normal means would be detrimental. Turning towards Kendo, he saw that she was thinking the same thing as him. Smiling at her serious expression, he waved his hand and charged forward.

"Catch ya later." He grinned before shifting into the air and then shifting forward. With no one else in the air, he easily made his way to the front.

"Hey! Hey!"

"Ouch! Its too narrow!"

"Fuck! Who just elbowed me!"

"Move it!"

While the participants were pushing and shoving among themselves, Todoroki saw this as his chance to create some distance between him and the others. Releasing the ice part of his quirk, he created a large gust of cold air that froze most of the participants in place.

'As expected of the son of the number 2 hero.' Aiden thought unaffected by the ice.

Exiting the tunnel, every step Todoroki took created a layer of ice that covered the ground. Charging into first place, he didn't even bother looking back as he believed that the gap in their abilities were too wide.

[A/n: He's not wrong.]

"Don't you think that was a bit much?" Aiden asked from the sky.

Surprised to hear a voice so close to him, Todoroki looked up and saw the relaxed face of Aiden Cross.

"Yo." He waved at the stunned Todoroki.

Just as he was about to answer Aiden, the voice of his classmates interrupted him.

"You're to naive Todoroki-san!" Momo shouted while using her quirk to create a long pole that propelled herself forward.

"I won't let you bastards get ahead of me!" Bakugo shouted after seeing both Todoroki and Aiden in first and second place.

Next to them were Kirishima, Mina, Ojiro and Tokoyami.

"More people from the department classes managed to make it out." Aiden commented after seeing the stragglers at the back.

"Targets Acquired." A robotic voice sounded out from in front.

"EH!!!" The students gasped in surprise after seeing what was in front of them.

"Isn't that the 0 point robot from the entrance exam!" Deku said in shock.

"There's lots of them!" Sero exclaimed.

Even the students from other departments stared in shock at the robotic obstacle in front of them.

"H-How are we supposed to get past that!"

"Are you kidding me!"

"Seriously! The hero course students had to fight those!"

"How is this an obstacle in high school sports festival!"

Looking at the 0 point robots in front of him, Todoroki muttered under his breath. "So this is what they used in the general entrance exam." Turning to look at Aiden, he saw that his expression was as relaxed as before.

Feeling his eyes on him, Aiden smiled and said. "Race you."

'If they went through all this trouble to create an obstacle course, I wish they'd have at least created some challenging obstacles!"

Thrusting his right hand upwards, a barrage of ice spikes shot out of the ground and covered the attacking robots.

"Woah!"

"Did you see that!"

"So this is a hero course student..."

Freezing the robots in place, class 1-B and the rest of the other classes stared in wonder at the spectacle in front of them. Even the pros and audience members watched in amazement.

Releasing a chilled breath, Todoroki started running on the ice and moved between a gap in-between the frozen robots.

Seeing this, the other students wanted to use the path that he created.

"I wouldn't if I were you." His voice sounded out from the other side.

"I froze them when they were unbalanced."

*CREAK!!*

"They'll fall over any minute now."

And just like he said, the robots started creaking before falling apart. The surrounding students were forced to retreat in fear of getting crushed by the falling robot parts.

"Slash."

An arc of purple flight flashed out and sliced a frozen robot arm in half.

"What the!"

"Its Aiden-kun!"

Shifting past the falling parts, Aiden slashed his way through the debris and made his way to the other side with ease.

"Argh! That purple eyed bastard!!" Bakugo screamed.

---

Once on the other side, Aiden saw Todoroki running in the distance. Giving his shifting a break, he landed back on the ground and started sprinting towards him. As someone trained to endure long distance running, Aiden easily closed the gap between the two and shouted "On your left!" Before passing him.

"Huh?" Todoroki said in surprise, not expecting anyone to catch up so quickly.

[A/n: Please tell me some of you caught that Winter Soldier reference.]

---

Arriving at the second part of the obstacle course, both Todoroki and Aiden were somewhat stunned at what they were seeing. In front of them were rock pillars that were spread out and had ropes attached to all of them. Bellow the pillars was a black space.

It didn't take a genius to understand that if they fell they'd be out of the competition.

For people like Aiden and Todoroki, this course was practically a joke.

Hearing the other students starting to catch up, both students looked at the other before deploying their own methods to get across. For Todoroki, this meant creating an ice bridge that he could easily run over. Aiden on the other hand just shifted above the pillars and made his way towards the next part.

"I'm coming for you, you bastards!!" Bakugo screamed while using his explosions to propel himself over the pillars and towards Aiden and Todoroki.

'This guy has some serious issues.'

Remaining in first and second place respectively, the two kept their eyes on the prize and ignored the screaming hothead.

"Dammit! Those two aren't even viewing us as opponents!" Kirishima cursed.

---

"Holy hell! The kids in first place are something else!" A member of the audience couldn't help but say.

"The one with that ice quirk is so strong!"

"He's also got good judgement and a solid base."

"Of course he does!" An arrogant member of the audience said. "He's the son of the flame hero Endeavor after-all."

"WHAT!!"

"Seriously!"

"No wonder he's so strong!"

"He's got the blood of the number two hero after All Might flowing in his veins."

"The pros would probably fight to get him as their sidekick."

The audience spoke among themselves and nodded.

"What about that other kid?"

Remembering that there was someone else neck and neck with the son of Endeavor, the crowd focused their attention on the black haired boy with purple tips. Seeing that Todoroki was unable to shake him, even the arrogant audience member had no choice but treat him seriously.

"Wait a second! Isn't he that guy who was representing the students earlier!" One of the audience members recognized him.

"Oh yeah!"

"No wonder he can go toe to toe with the son of Endeavor!"

"His teleportation ability is also quite good."

The crowd debated on who they thought was going to win. The son of Endeavor or the UA student representative.
