My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Selene, Celestia, and Izuku found that the next two weeks of school were perfectly normal in the grand scheme of things, as in there were no heroic lessons for anyone to worry about, it was just all of the other classes that they needed to know for their futures. Selene guessed that it was to make the playing field for the Sports Festival more even, even though she knew that everyone would be training outside of school to make sure they brought forth their greatest show for the heroes that would no doubt be watching them. In addition to that she was sure that they would be doing something heroic related right after the Sports Festival, so a break from the heroic trials made sense when she thought about it, or at least that was how she was thinking about that part of everything. Other than that she and Celestia did their best to make sure Izuku was ready for this and didn't work himself into the ground like usual, though both of them were sure that he'd do something foolish to impress All Might, given his reverence to the weakened hero.

With that in mind the two weeks went by in the blink of an eye and they gathered in the large arena that was where they and all of the other students would be taking part in the festival, where the siblings changed into their sports attire before also gathering in the waiting room.

"Everyone! Is your preparations complete?" Tenya asked, which was kind of a stupid question to ask at this point, since each of them had done everything in their power to prepare for this day, while Katsuki remarked that he really wanted to wear his costume, which were illegal in the Sports Festival since it might give someone an unfair advantage.

"Izuku, I want to say something: on an objective basis, I'm above you in terms of physical strength, despite the power of your destructive Quirk... that being said, I will beat you." Shoto stated, something that surprised the majority of their class, not that Selene or Celestia were surprised by this discovery, since he was a smart student and had likely noticed how Izuku had been interacting with All Might.

"See, you getting All Might's attention is backfiring, if Shoto, of all people, is declaring war on you." Selene remarked, though at the same time she and Celestia stood near one of the tables that were in the room, as their attention was more on what sort of madness the teachers might throw at them during the festival.

"Don't think you two are exempt from my declaration: I will beat you and Celestia as well." Shoto said, something that was followed by Katsuki chuckling a little, while the rest of the class was trying to tell if he was being serious or if he was joking, to remove some of the tension that was going on right now, "What's so funny?"

"You, Icy-Hot. Thinking that you can beat those two." Katsuki replied, as he knew that Selene was hard to beat, he was sure there was someway to bring down the tiger and was carefully gathering information to do such a thing, but her sister was an entirely different story, because Celestia's Dragon Quirk hadn't taken any damage since she first activated it and he knew it would be impossible to touch her if she used Sunshine.

Whatever the other students were going to say was drowned out by the announcer, Present Mic, informing everyone that it was time for the freshman stage to begin, though Shoto did hear Izuku tell him that he accepted the challenge, while the rest of the class made their way outside. There were thousands of people in the stands, ordinary people mixed in with heroes that were off duty, and even on duty heroes, where Selene and Celestia noticed their own mentors were among the crowd, both off duty since they wanted to observe this without getting distracted. Tenya commented on the fact that this, too, was another test, if they could bring out their best while being observed by so many people, like they were testing how each of them dealt with pressure and the gaze of the public. Following them was Class 1-B, the other hero students, then Classes C through E, the General Education students, followed by Classes F through H, who were the Support Department, and lastly Classes I through K, the Management kids.

The referee for their level was none other than Midnight herself, the 18+ Rated Hero, who assured them that she was well in line to be working at the school, and she surprised everyone by announcing that they had two 'player reps' this year, those being Selene and Celestia, who stepped onto the main stage for a moment.

"Everyone, let's do our best and make this a fair game." Selene stated, where she found that none of the students seemed angry or annoyed, which was good since she wasn't antagonizing them at all, like she was sure Katsuki would have said he'd place first or something and just annoy everyone.

"Indeed. Focus less on the fame and more on the good it does for all of us." Celestia added, reminding Izuku that both of his sisters saw this as another part of class, instead of a way to spread their fame, in fact he knew that they didn't care for fame at all, unlike how nearly everyone else was focused on the fame they'd earn from this.

Midnight nodded as the crowd cheered, in fact the people seemed pleased to have students that were more interested in being real heroes and not greedy people who loved fame, and with that done the sisters returned to the crowd, finding that a few of the other students were thinking of ways to bring them down.

"Now that the Player Reps have spoken, we can move onto announcing the first event, the preliminaries." Midnight stated, to which the screen behind her started to spin, like a lottery machine or something, and they could see that there were a fair number of events that were part of the entire Sports Festival, and she had a smile on her face, "Lots of students have ended up choking on their tears in this very event, unfortunately... and this year's first event is..."

The screen landed on 'Obstacle Race', which was a four kilometer ring around the stadium, where they were allowed to do whatever they wanted as long as they remained inside the course, once more playing to the freedom that was offered to all of UA, and an opening revealed itself for them to use. Selene and Celestia stood back a bit as the countdown started, as the moment the lights turned green, indicating that it was time for them to start running, everyone else practically rushed into the opening and jammed themselves into the frame of the starting line. Shoto used that opportunity to use his ice side while he moved forward, freezing part of the path to make sure none of the others could follow, while students like Katsuki and the navel boy used their Quirks to launch themselves over the ice. In the next moment Selene rushed through the blockage in her tiger form, surprising the students who hadn't seen it yet, while at the exact same moment Celestia did the same in her own feral dragon form, allowing them to get over the blockage and reach the main course.

Following that they discovered that the smaller robots from the Entrance Exam were blocking the way forward, and behind the group of robots happened to be a number of the Menace bots, at least ten of them by Selene's count, where Present Mic called this the 'first barrier', or 'Robo Inferno'.

"Is that all they've got?" Selene remarked, as this seemed far too easy for some of the students, especially since she and her sister did the smart thing, leap into the air, land on the arms of the robots, and just rush up to their heads before propelling themselves deeper into the course, "Too easy."

Shoto, by the looks of it, froze one of the Menaces and rushed between it's legs, where Selene and Celestia heard the robot collapse, blocking the way forward and forcing the rest of the students to use one of the other paths that had been provided for the event, even though it would cost some of them some precious time. The sisters then found that there were a couple of Menaces in their way, like the event staff wanted to make sure they were forced to waste time, where Selene smirked for a moment as she used Hydra, wrapping around it the legs of one and collapsing it, allowing her to run on it's chest before delving deeper into the course. Celestia, on the other hand, leapt into the air and waited until she was quite literally right in front of her Menace, where she shifted into her base form for a few seconds as she activated Sunshine, surrounding herself in solar energy as she flew through the robot's chest with the force of her jump. When she was on the other side of her foe Celestia reverted back to her feral dragon form, landed on the ground, and continued to rush along the path as the robot collapsed into a heap of ruined metal, all while the crowd cheered for her and Selene.

While they did that Shoto fell behind them in no time at all, which was understandable since it was hard to deal with a pair of fast moving transformation Quirks, though Present Mic announced that Katsuki was simply ignoring the Menace robots and blasted his way above them.

"Seems like everyone else is doing just fine." Selene commented, while at the same time she and Celestia ran side by side, as they had no real reason to try and sabotage each other, rather they were more interested in finishing the race ahead of the rest of the pack, securing their positions in the next round of the festival.

"But of course, they have some great classmates they need to keep pace with." Celestia remarked, where she and Selene just paused for a moment to glace back, finding that some of their fellow students from Class 1-A were doing their best to take down some of the robots that got in their way, but were still losing pace with some of the other students.

Selene nodded before she and Celestia rushed down the path again, showing that they were focused on the festival, where it was easy to tell that Present Mic was just surprised by how well all of Aizawa's class was handling the trial, while Aizawa was just calm and collected, reminding him that their experiences had prepared them for this. At the same time it sounded like Izuku had realized that using One For All at this stage wasn't worth it, it would cripple his hand or whatever limb he might use, rather he collected one of the plating pieces from one of the Menace robots and used it as his weapon and shield so he could pass the first barrier. The sisters were impressed by how he was able to realize such a thing, that using his Quirk would be bad for him, though at the same time the plating piece would be a thorn in Izuku's side since it would weigh him down as long as he carried it. Other than that there wasn't much else for the sisters to worry about as they rushed through the rest of the first portion of the obstacle race, dodging or destroying robots depending on how they decided to get in their way, and it wasn't long before they reached the Second Barrier.

This one happened to be an area with a number of stone pillars that were connected by rope, a tightrope walking area, and Present Mic told them that if they fell into the darkness of the 'Fall' then they would be knocked out of the running, only for the Pro Hero to stop in his tracks as his witnessed what came next.

Selene and Celestia ignored the rope entirely, as this was just a glorified 'get from one point to another' type of challenge, one that seemed to have no real rules since they were free to do whatever they wanted, so Selene leapt from one pillar to the next, using her feline grace to her advantage. Celestia did the same thing, she ignored the rope by opening her wings and lifted herself into the air, though she remained close to the ground and inside the course that had been set up, so there was no way for the staff members to be mad at them. With that in mind Present Mic and the crowd watched in shock as the sisters utterly conquered the Second Barrier, as they reached the other side of the chasm in no time at all and continued on their way to the Third Barrier, even though there was no telling how many more trials were waiting for them. While they did that, pulling away from the rest of the crowd even more, the sisters eventually learned that the others were getting close to the tightrope area, where the support class were allowed to use the devices that they made themselves, just to keep things fair with the heroics students.

Of course the ones that were at the head of the pack behind the sisters were Shoto and Katsuki, who seemed to be focused on taking both Selene and Celestia down, but that was the nature of the festival, get to the first place and earn fame, which neither of the sisters actually cared for.

The Third and Final Barrier was just a mine field, right out of Rambo 3 according to Present Mic, an area designed to slow all of the contestants down and make the winner of the race that much more up for grabs, but it was clear that whoever made this didn't account for Selene and Celestia to be part of the competition. The reason for that was due to the fact that Selene just had to use Hydra on her entire body, so if she activated a mine she could just tank the blast and keep going, while at the same time Celestia just flew over the mine field. Aizawa, despite clearly not wanting to be with Present Mic in the announcer area, reminded everyone that the students were allowed great freedom, as long as they remained inside the course, so this was well within the rules of the obstacle course. With that in mind they were able to cross the distance in record time and made it to the end of the course, far ahead of everyone else, allowing the sisters to revert to their base forms while taking a moment to rest up, since there was no telling what the rest of the festival might throw at them and the others.

While they stood there, waiting for the rest of the winning students to enter the arena, the sisters found a screen to watch, allowing both of them to see what was going on, before noticing that Izuku was using his metal shield to actually dig up some of the land mines that were close to the surface.

"He... He can't be serious." Selene remarked, as she knew that their brother had some crazy ideas at times, especially since he was holding back his Quirk for later in the festival, but what Izuku was doing right now seemed to be rather insane, even for the type of event that was currently going on.

"He is. I'll give him credit, this could work in his favor." Celestia stated, where they watched as their brother piled some of the land mines into a pile and then jumped onto the pile using his plating as a shield, propelling him into the air and sent him in the direction of Shoto and Katsuki, while at the same time sabotaging some of the others that were near him, "Definitely a stupid move, but the crowd is eating it up."

Selene had to agree with that comment, especially since the crowd was definitely impressed by Izuku's movements, and as he was propelled by the two he was neck and neck with their brother spun and brought the shield down on another mine, a fact that propelled him beyond the pair. This fact allowed Izuku to get through the final gate before Shoto and Katsuki, which meant he was now in third place, with Shoto placing fourth and Katsuki in fifth, much to the latter's eternal annoyance, and it wasn't long before the rest of the winners of this event pushed through the gate. Much to the surprise of the sisters the rest of their class was able to place among the winners of the race, though the number of winners was changed this year, where Selene and Celestia realized that it was due to their presence in the Festival, to be fair to everyone else that only had a single Quirk. While everyone relaxed a little, doing their best to rest up before the start of the second event, It was easy to see that the rest of the students, from the other classes, mostly returned to the stands with their heads low, annoyed at being taken out, while all of the Management students were already discussing how best to sell the assets of the winners.

She and Celestia didn't care about any of that, they were more interested in being heroes and not sellouts, which was why their focus was on what the future trials had to offer them and what the teachers would throw at them next, all while she smiled as she waited to see what they would be doing next, and how she and Celestia would beat the trials.
