CHAPTER START---

Appearing at the finish line Horizon sees the stadium only a hundred meters away down the dirt track, not even a single student has made it through the gateway and onto the track, yet he grabs the banner at the finish line.

"WINNER!" Present Mic's voice rings out, reaching the crowds in and out of the stadium, like music to his ears.

He drops the banner and starts taking a casual stroll back into the stadium. All the camera robots along this stretch of the course turn and focus on him, so he takes his time to give everyone a good look at their future hero.

Both hands in his pockets he listens to Mic hype him up, a wide smile beneath his visor.

"First place goes to Horizon! No surprise there when you put a warp user in a obstacle race folks!" Mic's voice echoes through the stadium and outside to the nearby crowds and competitors.

"He's the Class Rep for the famous Class 1A, one of the most talented sets of students UA has ever had, credited with taking down the USJ Nomu on his own and he even acts as our counter to other Warp Quirks, a pillar of security for everyone around him!

It's no surprise that he's favored to win this whole tournament, especially when you know his Quirk can do a lot more than warping!

Supposedly already so skilled and talented that if he were a Pro they'd have to make room in our top 10 for him!"

Horizon sees a large burst of frost erupt from the narrow hallway and stops, taking in the sight of a few Hero Course students avoiding Todoroki's attack and pulling ahead with him.

"He's even a world-class doctor at only 16!" Mic announces loudly, catching even Horizon off guard, "With hard work and talent, all bolstered by having the single most powerful Heal ability in the world! He's a real tough contender for MVP in any party!"

'Did Nezu tell him more about me?' Horizon wonders.

"But these aren't the words of this announcer folks! The super genius behind UA, Principal Nezu confirmed all of this himself, this is why one year ago he broke his iron clad 'no scouting' policy to get Horizon into the Hero Course, he's simply playing on a whole other level!"

'Nezu definitely told him that part...' he think while arriving at the frozen students. Some lament their failure, others crying, not because their feet were frozen to the ground, but because this was their only real chance to transfer into the Hero Course.

And Horizon sees them look up at him with admiration, jealousy, and even a hint of fear and worry as he reaches where the ice is, surely shaken by Mic's announcement.

SHAMBLES!

He warps back into the arena not far away from midnight.

It takes a moment for people to realize what just happened, then the entire stadium shakes with uproar and applause, the public finally getting a glimpse of what his Quirk is, now understanding why he was so integral in defending UA during the USJ incident.

"Your first-place winner for the obstacle race!" Midnight proudly announces as his name appears on the scoreboards.

Horizon waves back to the cheering crowd as Mic continues announcing what happens during the race.

As everyone focuses on the race Horizon quietly makes his way to the seats on the third level reserved for his class, aware of all the eyes on him from the Pros in the audience. As he expected, and pays no mind to.

Even as Endeavor's fiery glare drills into his back while he walks out of the arena.

Walking to his seating area he sees Nezu already there, a large tablet in his hand with numbers constantly flowing across the screen.

"Don't you always act as the umpire for the 3rd year games?" Horizon asks, taking a seat beside his principal.

"Ahhh," Nezu immediately gets the picture. "So you nearly pulled yourself apart with it..."

"Something like that, and even if that doesn't happen the clothes will just get torn off me," Horizon grumbles out.

"But on the plus side, that means you can use it on anything while most Telekinesis Quirks require you to make contact first, like the 1B student's."

"Pretty much."

"From...any range?"

"I'm not telling you my range, but yeah, it helps if I'm closer and can see the object at least," Horizon says. "But if you were in your office right now I could throw one of the couches in there at your head, while sitting way out here, wouldn't even have to do more than flick a finger."

"And is there a weight limit to what you can lift?" Nezu asks.

"Not in the same way that Urarak has a weight limit to hers, my Quirk doesn't have limits like that."

"So you always say, and how are the new shoes treating you, I didn't notice any difference," Nezu says.

"They look the same, but these are boots," Horizon pulls up the leg of his pants to show the change, dress shoes visually but providing a lot more support for his shift into being more brawlic. "Perfect for kicking in some teeth."

Nezu chuckles nervously, "don't forget you're supposed to be a hero..."

"KATSUKI BAKUGO TAKES SECOND PLACE!" Mic screams at the crowd, and everyone erupts into cheers as Bakugo enters the arena, followed closely by Todoroki and Iida.

"They all looked pissed," Horizon says.

"Well second place isn't enough for UA students," Nezu says. "Not to mention Iida came fourth because he stepped on a land mine, I'm sure he wanted to win since this is a race, his area of expertise, and his brother is probably watching."

"Oh yeah, Ingenium, guess that's where he'll be interning."

"Oh yes that request came in days ago," Nezu says, hitting a few options on his tablet and bringing up a massive list. "Your internship requests have already hit over one thousand, and it's only the first round, Todoroki is trailing behind with two hundred."

"Not surprising, if he ever grows a brain he'll be useful with that Quirk, too bad he's a tactless meathead like All Might."

"You really shouldn't be hard on them, they are still students after all."

"Explain that to the villains that want them dead, and things will only get harder for them when villains watch this and learn about them. In my case when I explain my Quirk villains will start running away from me even more..."

"Well that remains to be seen," Nezu says as the students begin pouring into the arena.

"So, can you tell me what the next game is gonna be?"

"I'm not allowed to, but since I don't think it'll matter for someone like you, it's a Cavalry Battle," Nezu casually says as the first twenty people arrive in the arena.

"Ugh, teamwork crap...actually, how specific are the rules?" he turns to look down at Nezu, a mischievous aura wafting off him.

Nezu gives him a curious look, not sure how to feel about this, "well, what do you have in mind?"
