Reborn As Saitama In MHA

Chapter 21 - Sports Festival - Up up, and away [3]

"Is everyone ready?!" Midnight shouted as the students were all gathered together inside of the arena boundaries.

Hiroto was teamed up with the invisible Hagakure, who was currently sitting on his shoulders. She had the ribbon around where her head should be.

Hagakure asked in an unsure tone, "Are you sure about this?"

Hiroto nodded and said, "Just make sure that you don't throw up on my head."

Hagakure 'nodded' her head, and asked him, "Why did you choose me to be part of your team?"

"Well, you're invisible. So it'll make it harder for them to see the ribbon around your head. Although, it's going to be more difficult for you than it is for me." Hiroto said, causing Hagakure to feel slightly more afraid.

Although, she was currently not wearing a top, and only had her pants on with the white ribbon on her head, the number TEN MILLION, written upon it.

"Now, let's start the countdown!!" Present Mic shouted out.

"3-2-1… START!!"

With that, everyone sprinted towards Hiroto, aiming to take the ribbon off of Hagakure's head.

Holding onto her legs tightly, Hiroto said, "Hang tight, and don't let go." Hagakure wrapped her invisible arms around Hiroto's head and prepared herself.

Both Momo and Mina stared at Hiroto, and for some reason couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed by something...

"Hiroto!!!" Katsuki cried out, with his team charging towards him.

Hiroto then flashed forward, with Hagakure screaming from the intense speed she was experiencing.

Like an afterimage, the pair completely disappeared and reappeared at the other end of the arena, where it was completely void of people.

"Hagakure… your hands," Hiroto said, as he could feel her fingers digging into his face tightly, as they slightly shook.

"T-Too fast… Too fast…" Hagakure muttered like a broken record.

Hiroto smiled and said, it doesn't end there. Todoroki's team then appeared from the side, as he started to cover the ground around Hiroto with ice.

Hiroto only waved his hands towards him, bent his legs, and jumped, smashing the ice around him into pieces, also causing some people to almost topple over.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" Hagakure cried out, as she was sent high up into the air, above everyone's head.

"Whoa!! Moriyama just launched himself into the air, is he going to just keep repeating this over and over again?" Present Mic commentated, as the students below them were looking at each in confusion, but then started to fight over one another for their ribbons.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" Hagakure's cries entered everyone's ears once more, as Hiroto descended onto the ground lightly this time, not destroying the ground.

"Up up, and away," Hiroto said, jumping into the air again as 3 different teams tried to catch him before he could, but failed.

"Ahhhhh!!! Save meee!!" Hagakure cries landed on deaf ears as she once again ascended to the skies.

"You should enjoy this, it's not every day that you can see the world from beneath you." Hiroto said as they reached the apex of their jump and slowly started to descend.

"How could I?! I never knew I was afraid of heights till now!!" Hagakure cried out, with Hiroto being able to feel her invisible hands tightly wrapped around his face, and some soft 'mounds' pressed to the back of his head.

"Not part of the plan, but a welcomed addition," Hiroto muttered under his breath as he descended back to the ground.

In the stands, Hiroto's mother said, "That child, I'm going to have to teach him how he should handle girls with care and grace, and not so roughly like this!"

Hiroto's dad smiled wryly and only offered a silent prayer to his son, watching him descend back to the ground.

Looking at the figure of Hiroto all the way above them, Katsuki clicked his tongue in annoyance and ran towards the other teams to take their ribbons instead.

"What the fuċk?! Fucking ȧssrag piece of shit motherfucking fuċk, give it back!! I'll kill you!!" Katsuki shouted out, as the people in his team, Mina, Eijiro, and Sero tried to maneuver towards Monoma.

Monoma only smiled with a ċȯċky grin and said, "The minute midnight called a "First" event, the preliminaries, don't you think it would have been strange to ȧssume they'd thin the herd extremely drastically? Obviously there would be-"

"Watch out!" Hiroto's voice rang out from above, as he fell back onto the ground, this time with a bit more force than usual on purpose.

*CRACK*

The ground beneath Hiroto was deformed, creating a web of cracks expanding outwards from him to the entire arena. This caused many people to start losing their balance, as they tried their best to keep their riders from touching the ground.

Hagakure was still on top of Hiroto's shoulders, strangely quiet, with Hiroto feeling her bodyweight leaning over his head, as though she was knocked out.

"Well, that's a shame." Hiroto said, "Looks like I can't keep jumping into the air anymore." Then, with a quick swipe, he took all the ribbons away from Monoma easily, since he landed right next to him. "Don't mind if I do."

Before Monoma could voice his complaint, Hiroto's figure disappeared, as the afterimage, he left behind dissipated.

'

"Whoa! There it is once more! Moriyama caused everyone to be knocked off-balance, will they be able to recover? Or will they use this moment to steal the ribbons from of the other teams?! There are only 4 minutes left to the Cavalry Battle, so if they don't hurry and get points, they'll be kissing their chances of moving to the next event, goodbye!" Present Mic commented, earning the crowds cheers and jeering.

Hiroto's figure appeared once more in the center of the arena. Todoroki, having caught sight of him shouted, "There! Go towards him! If we can get his points, we'll be 1st!"

But, contrary to his expectations, Hiroto's figure only got further away from him, as he felt that he was moving away from where Hiroto was. Looking down, he could see that his teammates completely ignored him and ran far away from where Hiroto was.

"What are you doing? Why are you running away?" Todoroki asked a bit discounted with his teammates.

From below, Kaminari said, "What do you think we're doing? We are getting as far away from him as possible."

Tenya nodded, and said, "Did you not see what happens to the teams that stick close to him? They either end up falling to the ground or having their points stolen by people trying to capitalize on Moriyama's handiwork of knocking them over.

Momo also nodded her head and said, "You should already know how fast Hiroto is, do you really want to risk it all now, before the final event even started?"

Todoroki stayed silent but resolved himself to face Hiroto in the next events instead, as he focused on the collections of more ribbons.

As time went on, no one was willing to get close to Hiroto anymore, who stood alone in the center with Hagakure on his shoulders. She finally managed to stir awake after some time.

"Ugh, what's going on? Where are we? The Moon?" Hagakure asked in her drowsy state.

"Nope. We're still on Earth. Why, do you want to visit the Moon? It won't take too long, but you better hold your breath." Hiroto said.

"Nonononono! Anything but that! I love the Earth, please don't take me off if it anymore!" Hagakure cried out, gripping Hiroto's head tightly.

"You know, if I wasn't so durable, my head would've deformed by now." Hiroto spoke with a muffled voice, as his face was 'covered' by Hagakure's invisible arms.

Looking at the timer, there were only 10 seconds left, but just as he turned to look away, from the corner of his eye he saw Shinso slowly approaching him with a grin on his dead-looking face.

"Wait, weren't you the one who made me late for my manga sale?" Hiroto said, turning to him.

With 5 seconds left, Shinso turned to Hiroto, but before he could open his mouth, Hiroto squatted down. Lifting a finger, a flicking the ground that led towards Shinso.

*CRACK*

Like a domino effect, a large crack raced outwards from where Hiroto struck towards where Shinso's team was standing. Then, the ground below them split apart, causing the people carrying him to lose their balance, falling over to the ground, causing them to be eliminated since their rider, Shinso, touched the ground.

*BRRRR*

"AAAAND that's the end of the Cavalry Battle!!" Present Mic announced.

"Wait! Isn't that against the rules?!" Shinso cried out and pointed towards Hiroto.

Midnight stepped in and said, "Nope, since the rules stated that you aren't allowed to directly use your quirks on the other team to steal or knock them over. However, he only affected the ground you were standing on, and not your body directly."

Before Shinso could further complain, Present Mic continued shouting, ignoring him completely, "Let's see who our top 4 are, shall we?!"

"In 1st place, team Moriyama!!" Present Mic cried out, with which the crowd enthusiastically cheered.

"In 2nd place, team Todoroki! In 3rd place, Team Bakugo! And in 4th place, huh? Team Midoriya?!" Present Mic shouted out, with Midorya crying his eyes out after hearing the declaration that his team qualified.

"The next event will begin after an hour's lunch break! See you then!!!" Present Mic announced, with which the people amongst the stands started to leave the stadium to go have their lunches.

Hiroto ignored the commotion and put Hagakure back on the ground, also giving her a new shirt. "Feeling better?"

"Ugh, is there any way I can forfeit? I don't feel so good…" Hagakure muttered, as she slowly stumbled her way towards the toilet. Mina was concerned for her and followed behind.

Hiroto scratched his cheek and said, "Did I overdo it?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure you did," Eijiro said, coming up next to him. "Do you think anyone could handle what you just did? Multiple times, as well. I'm surprised she could still walk on her own two feet.." Eijiro looked over to Hagakure but then saw that she fell flat on her face a moment afterward, with Mina rushing forward to help her up.
