Chapter 73 - The Athlete's Oath

The door of the waiting room was opened.

"Come one, it is starting," Aizawa said.

They nodded and stood up from their seat. They walked out of the waiting room toward the field ready for the Sports Festival.

---

"There are a lot of people, zura!" Hanamaru was shocked.

"D - Don't be scared! Don't be nervous! You will let everyone know that we're coming from the countryside," Dia was a bit panicked.

"Just calm down, there is nothing to panic about," Sorahiko only smiled.

"Yes, just sit down," Kanan nodded and sat down. She looked around and wondered what he would be standing there.

"Grandpa, can he win this Sports Festival?" Mari asked.

"It should be possible for him to become the top contender but there are a lot of strong students in this school," Sorahiko said.

"I believe that he will win," Chika said.

"No one in the water could beat him," Kanan said.

"But there is no water here," Yoshiko said.

They weren't sure but they wanted him to win this Sports Festival.

"Ah, there he is, zura!" Hanamura said and pointed at the group of students who walked and entered the field.

They saw him since his blonde hair was making him very easy to recognize.

---

"The first-year student is coming!"

The reporter readied with their camera.

Mayumi was also there and searched for him. She didn't need to search that long since she had found him.

---

"It's the first years of the hero department!"

"It's a class A!!"

Brando came out from the corridor and entered the field. He could feel the attention that they had gathered from the audience. His ears were very keen and it was easy to find them. He turned and saw nine girls and an extremely short elderly man. He waved his hand toward them for a short time and continued to walk into the center of the field.

---

"Oh, he is waving his hand toward us, zura!" Hanamaru said.

Sorahiko was surprised at her senses since he could notice them as soon as he entered the field. He was wondering what kind of training he had done before.

---

Brando stood up next to Momo and Hagakure.

"W - Wow, there are a lot of people here," Hagakure sounded quite nervous.

"Yes, this is a very big event for the school," Momo nodded.

"This is also a chance for us to show who we are and make it easier for us to become heroes in the future," Brando said.

They nodded and listened to him.

Present Mic continued to announce each class that entered the field.

"We're just here to make the others look good."

"It's hard to get motivated."

Brando who heard the conversation of the other departments who joined the Sports Festival. He could hear that they were very unhappy with this development. He understood since the U.A. was known as the school of a hero and the school even though they had opened the other department, it wasn't that much supported, especially the general department.

Different from both business and support departments at U.A. High School. The general department in this school didn't have that much exposure.

Brando wouldn't even know that there was a general department in this school when he entered this school. He was wondering why the school decided to open this department since in his opinion this U.A. wasn't known as their normal education, rather it was their hero education.

However, he had heard that some students from general education might be able to transfer to the hero department. In case that person showed talent to become a hero or showed a good result in a test or something.

He didn't care much since he would leave them behind when they entered the hero department next year. He saw that Yui was looking at him. He nodded and smiled at her.

"You! Don't bother the girls in our class!"

The male members of class B showed a hostile expression when they saw him greeted one of their female students.

He ignored them and decided to look at the podium since he saw one of the s.e.xiest heroes in the country. He had to admit that even though she was in her 30's but her body was still very good. He had heard that her Quirk was very strong against a male. He was a bit curious and wanted to test whether it was that strong.

Slap!

Midnight stood on the podium swung her whip, saying, "Now, for the athlete's oath!"

He had to admit that she was better at becoming a p.o.r.n artist rather than a hero. He didn't say it out loud and decided to keep it in his mouth.

"Oh, the first-year ref this time is the R-Rated hero Midnight!"

"Is it okay for an R-Rated hero to be in high school?"

"Shut it! Pipe down! Your student representative is from class 1-A, Katstuki Bakugou!" Midnight said.

Bakugou wanted to walk to the podium until he heard his voice.

"Bakugou say something that makes us fire up!" Brando said.

"Heh! I'll do that!" Bakugou grinned and walked to the podium.

"I'm sure that he is going to say something strange," Momo sighed.

"Don't worry, isn't that more interesting than a boring speech?" Brando said.

"W - Well..." Momo wanted to refute him but she couldn't.

"Still, I'm a bit envious that he can talk to the podium," Brando said and thought that he could taunt the entire school. He thought that that might be very nice.

"I'm not sure whether you will say something good too," Momo sighed.

They saw that Bakugou stood up on the podium and said, "The athlete's oath...."

"Make no mistake about it. I'm going to take first place!" Bakugou said.

"..."

As expected after he had said that speech everyone started to complain and mocked him.

Bakugou didn't care and snorted at them. He walked down and grinned at him, "How is it?"

"That's not good," Brando shook his head.

"Yes, that's not good, Bakugou, you can taunt the entire school!" Kirishima said.

"No, that's not what I mean," Brando shook his head and said, "You should say that you will take the second place since I'm going to take the first place."

"..."

Bakugou grinned, "Then let's see whether you can do that."

Everyone in class A couldn't help but sweat very hard when they heard their conversation.
