The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

[POV Reo]

"Damn! I am so nervous and excited at the same time!" Kirishima shouted with a big grin on his face but he was also nervous... it could be clearly seen in his eyes. ​​

I was right beside him and I could easily say that a lot of students were also having similar expressions like him. To be honest, I was also slightly nervous... I didn't know why but I was. When I fighting the villains I wasn't nervous, but I was nervous now because of a Sports Festival. Yeah... quite understandable... I thought sarcastically. It must have to do something with stage fright...

"Yeah, and the waiting is even worse!" Mina said while others nodded to their heads showing their agreement.

Everyone was in their regular UA gym uniforms as they weren't allowed to wear their Hero Costumes for the Sports Festival. Most of the students were nervous because of stage fright like me and the UA Sports Festival was going to be aired live on the TV. That increased our pressure.

"Is everyone ready?! We will be entering soon!" Iida said to everyone in the room.

"Yeah! I am so pumped!" Toru said while... maybe jumping? I thought she might have jumped because her uniform also jumped around all over the place.

Just then, Todoroki walked up to Izuku and declared that he was stronger than him. "I won't pry on your situation with All Might, but just know that I am going to beat you." He said, looking straight at the green-haired boy who wasn't even able to utter a single word. I know, that the dumb boy had revealed his biggest secret so that he could appease his childhood bully... but did he tell Todoroki too? Or does Todoroki had found out by himself?

Heh... no matter. They can do whatever they want until Izuku himself hands One For All to All For One...

"Hey! Are you trying to pick a fight Todo-" Kirishima tried to say, but was interrupted mid-sentence by Todoroki.

"I am not finished yet." Todoroki said to Kirishima while turned his head towards me. Fuck me...!! now the emo kid is going to challenge me. Why the hell does he have to do this?

"Itsuki Reo... despite taking out multiple villains in just an instant without even lifting your finger, I will show you that my Ice is still superior to your metal. Currently, you are my biggest obstacle here, so I will be defeating you to prove myself." Todoroki declared. Wow... just wow... I am speechless.

"Yeah, sure whatever" that was the best I could come up with, at this moment. I don't think that he appreciated it though... his eyes seem to be burning with rage while he clutched his hands and after a few seconds of glaring at me, he simply turned around and walked away.

The room was completely silent before everyone started to discuss my Quirk and Todoroki's Quirk. I just looked over to Momo who was also chatting with her friends. Soon the announcement was heard, and all of us started to walk towards the stadium gate.

"My heart is beating so much!" Mina said while we were walking.

"Yeah, my hand can't seem to stop shaking." Tsuyu said.

"There is no need to be nervous. we will do just fine!" Ochako said, trying to encourage the girls.

"Ochako you are shaking too!" Momo said when we finally entered the stadium to find out that the whole stadium was filled with audience, Pro-Heroes, and teaching staff.

[Within the Crowd]

A certain pair of parents became very excited when the students of class 1-A came out of the entrance and were introduced to the crowd.

"Look! Look! Our son is looking so cool" Ai said while poking her husband.

"Yes, like I have said before, he has made us really proud" Shomei said while pulling Ai towards him.

It didn't matter to them if Reo got any position or not. For them, their son had already made them very proud but they still wanted their son to win.

[POV Reo]

"We will have to give it our best performance to impress everyone" Iida said as their class was introduced.

"Wow! Look at all these people!" Toru said.

A lot of students nodded their heads in agreement. "This is definitely overwhelming" she said while looking at the crowd. I completely agree with her. This is truly overwhelming, I tried to look for my parents. I know that they are here but it is very difficult to look for someone specific among such a huge crowd.

Present Mic started to introduce class 1-B as well as the other departments that had their students participating. Soon all the introduction was done and over with when a whip cracked. Midnight came up to the stage and cracked her whip again. Well... she is really beautiful. She is the perfect representation of 'YOUTH'. Most of the men in the crowd started cheering when they saw the R-Rated Hero.

"Everyone be quiet! Representing the students is Katsuki Kakugo from Class 1-A!" Midnight said again while cracking her whip. The crowd immediately calmed down seeing the dominatrix.

It would have been much better if they had even have called Izuku. Giving the mic to Bakugo is just causing a shitstorm. I watched as the same shit unfolds right in front of my eyes. He challenged all other classes and made an enemy of them. It was finally over when all the students apart from 1-A started to boo him. After that happened, Midnight finally sends him down.

"Now, let's get started right away!" Midnight yelled into the mic.

Midnight then revealed that the first task would be an obstacle course. I remembered it clearly from my memory but still listened to Midnight's explanation. I am a good student after all. "As long as you stay on the course, it doesn't matter what you do! Take your places, everyone!" This was the final instruction from Midnight.

Soon all of us lined up by the red starting gate that had 3 lit-up green lights on the top of it... I have already made a simple plan. I am gonna be like Siver Surfer in this task. I turned towards Momo "good luck". Momo returned the gesture with a smile on her face and moved towards the front. I didn't try to move forward and concentrated on the ground below pulling all the metals towards me.

"3... 2... 1... Start!!" Midnight exclaimed.

Everyone rushed towards the narrow tunnel, using everything they could to make it to the front. The ground seemed to become porous and small particles came out like smoke rising from the ground. The students near me were surprised, while it made the audience and the Heroes curious about what I was doing. The particles condensed into a huge surfboard and started to float by my side.

I jumped over the board and my feet were covered by metal straps as soon as my feet landed on the board, it would protect me from falling off. I crouched down and the speed started to increase, in an instant I passed a lot of students who were much more ahead of me.

I finally reached the front liners and saw four students from our class were in the front. Ayoma was using his laser to fly over the ground. Momo had made herself a pair of ski and was happily using the ice made by Todoroki to glide over. I passed them with ease, everyone was thinking that I was using my control over metal to fly the board but Momo knew the truth. I was using repulsion force to fly, I was releasing a magnetic field that has the opposite polarity of the Earth's magnetic field.

As soon as I passed them... I met Todoroki and Bakugo competing with each other. Todoroki was using his ice Quirk to glide over while Bakugo was using his explosions to propel him forward. I didn't want to goad them so I just passed them.

"Bastard!" I heard Bakugo yell as soon as I passed him and Todoroki.

Todoroki didn't say anything but he started to put more effort in making his Ice Road... or whatever.

As soon as I passed them I found myself in front of many giant robots. 'Good' I said inside my mind. Robots were made up of metals so... I just immobilized their limbs temporarily. As I passed by the robots I let them free, so they could create more problems for the students who were behind me. Sorry Momo... I will give you a foot rub later.

[With the rest of the Students]

All of them had seen the Giant Robots and they were waiting to see how Reo would deal with them because he was in the front and his method might give them some idea. But all of them were gobsmacked when they saw the robots completely ignored Reo and became active right after he passed the robots. Everyone in class 1-A cursed inside their mind because they already knew what Reo's Quirk was and making him fight robots made up of metals was just giving him a free pass.

Momo also cursed but didn't mind it much because they had already decided beforehand that they won't hold back anything if they went against each other.

"What the hell! That bastard!" Bakugo yelled as he saw the robots let Reo get a free pass. He used his rage and attacked the giant robot in front of him.

"Tch... that lucky bastard!!" Denki shouted due to the unfairness of the world.

"That was completely unfair!" Jiro whined loudly, and everyone near her completely agreed with her.

'As expected from Reo. Metal will never hurt him, but this also brings a weakness... everything non-metal is his weakness' Izuku thought as he continued running forward. (A/N: Stupid Izuku and his stupid delusions)

Just like this, the race continued...
