Chapter 38 - Family Issues (1/2)

General Studies, Business Studies, Support Studies, and Hero Studies.

The 4 types of classes at U.A., and the four types that would be allowed to partake in the yearly Sports Festival, for U.A., an event that was broacasted across the entire nation, and watched by many civilians and pro hero agencies in the nation. It was the biggest place to make a statement, show off your ability, start gathering up a fan base, and begin making the connections that you would take with you to the top. Not only was it broadcasted nationwide, but the event itself took place in a massive stadium, where THOUSANDS were watching in person as well. For many, it would be a nerve destroying time, for those wanting to get into the Hero Course, it was even more so. Usually, the only class with nothing on the line were the Business Courses, and they were usually only there to make connections in the Business world.

”Naruto.”

”Sup?” Naruto looked as who was speaking to him as Class A walked into the stadium, and the audience roared their approval towards the class. The honest favorites to win overall, and make the best showing. ”Oh, you.” Naruto saw it was Todoroki that was getting his attention.

”I'm going for you, and I want to beat you at your best. You better give it-”

”Sorry, but I'm not going to use my Quirk, so better aim for me another day. This is just going to be a chance to train for me.” Naruto didn't care about the results of this dumb festival. He just wanted to grow stronger, so he was challenging himself by not using his Quirk. He was going to try to win of course, but this was more about taking himself to a new level, than it was about caring for these games. ”Honestly, go after somebody else, I'm not going to be the outlet for your Daddy issues.” Naruto could see that look in Todoroki's eyes pretty easily, and he could tell that either Todoroki was doing this for his father, or he was doing this to spite his father.

Either way, Naruto didn't want any part of it.

Todoroki went silent.

”Oh thank god... By the way Naruto, if there is any fighting, and we have to fight, can you take it easy-” Mina started, before Naruto placed his hand on her head.

”Mina... you're my girlfriend, and I love you... but if we have to fight, I'm kicking the shit out of you. This and that are two different things.” Naruto wasn't going to go easy on anyone, he wasn't going to use his Quirk, but he wasn't going to go easy. He hoped he didn't have to fight Mina, but if he did have to, he was going to punch her for sure. ”You want to become a Hero too, so don't hold back on me either.” Naruto told her with a grin.

She held her horns.

”Just don't break them, I don't know if they grow back.” She prayed that he didn't bust her horns if they fought. She had never broken them before, other than the occasional crack on them. The cracks would heal, but she had never broken one off, and she didn't want her head to look weirder with one broken horn.

They all walked to their spots as Class A, and stood with the other classes as they walked in.

Naruto looked at the other Hero Course, Class B... the only real threats he could see among any of the other students showing up. Those who were also trained in combat by pro heroes as well. At least, known of them seemed like they were any real threat towards him personally, Quirk or no Quirk.

-With the Pro Heroes-

”So, who is your favorite to win this?”

”Either Endeavor's son, or Thunder God's son. I feel sorry for the rest, but I don't think it's going to be a competition.” Death Arms stated as he looked at the TV screen with Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods. He had been lucky, and had not been one of the Heroes who had been targeted by the freak of a villain not long ago. It hurt his pride a little, but he had been able to help control the flow of crime outbreaks as one of the few untargeted pros. ”Monster Fox and Half-Hot Half-Cold, those two Quirks won't lose to a lot in combat, and I heard rumor that this year, there will be a tournament at the end.” Death Arms walked towards the betting booth.

This one of the very few forms of legal gambling that was allowed at the moment.

He was going to make some money on this.
