Heated Conversation.

{Minor R-18 Warning for this chapter.}

There are moments in a mans life in which he feels terror; primal fear of the most heinous variety, soul shattering horror in the face of insurmountable odds.

This was not one of those moments. The first students to try and approach me, a group from 1B, Setsuna, Monoma, Itsuka and Jurota. Side characters, the lot of them.

"Come on, big shot! If you're so strong I hope you won't mind if I borrow your points, you'll get some back!"

Monoma's voice is accompanied by his typical sneer, and though he isn't the only team facing my own, he is certainly the closest. With Jurota as a frontman, he had strong support.

"Mei, boosters. We need height advantage."

She obeys, and we are lifted up in the air, as I use [Concealment] to cause momentary disorientation among Monoma's team and have Kyouka steal their 705 point headband, allowing me to grasp everyone on my team and activate [Swiftness] and send us to the opposite side of the field.

The moment I disengage it, though, I notice a gagging sound from above and see Kyouka holding her mouth with both hands, glaring at me.

"Holy shit, you asshole! Warn us next time you decide to go the speed of fucking light or whatever that was!"

"Mach 9, but I appreciate the sentiment. Nevertheless, [Swiftness] grants protection from friction that would be caused by the speed i run at, so you were safe nonetheless."

Momo's meek voice is followed by Mei's own as we stand alone on one side of the field, having left everyone else behind who went to secure a headband from our previous position.

"I don't know... I thought it was pretty exciting."

"Again! AGAIN! DO THE FAST!"

Actual fucking gremlin. This creature scares me, and I can only regret having brought her and Momo together, given that she is giving Momo the eyes of a fucking predator when she thinks she isn't looking.

Suddenly, our conversation is interrupted by the commentary from up top, Present Mic and Aizawa being sat in the booth watching.

"And Team Astrea are clear of the competition still! Can anybody catch up with them? How can you grab what you can't see?"

"It's a good strategy. After all, who cares how hard you try, if you aren't fast enough then what's the point." Oddly diminishing commentary there, I expected he would talk about how a hero always perseveres and that strategy can overcome anything.

"AAAGH! GET OVER HERE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"

Well, I knew he was coming, but I am certainly happy Bakugou announced his presence so openly. I turn my head to the left and see his team, himself, Kirishima, Mina and Sero all rushing at me, acid skating for mobility.

Bakugou, aware that he can move as much as he wants as long as he gets back on the horse decides to throw himself at me in the air, one hand behind him exploding to build momentum and the other reaching forward towards my head.

Its an interesting picture to see. I say picture because I had activated [Sandevistan] when I saw him and was simply enjoying watching his face twisted in fury as he looks at me.

I sigh before re-enacting my beatdown on Deku the previous day as I shift to the side of him, dragging my team with me before grabbing the outstretched arm and then turning a full 90 degrees and hurling him back at his own team.

Sadly, they manage to catch him as Kirishima hardens his hand and desperately grabs onto Bakugou's shirt, which still counts as him being part of the team. It was fine, though. I wanted him in the final round.

The next challenge comes in the form of [Threat Detection] pinging behind me as Iida says something like 'Recipro-Burst!' and dashes towards us, with Todoroki rearing his hand back and ordering Kaminari to shock us while asking Sato to strengthen himself to avoid being throwing off kilter.

In the tiny window given, I turn to Momo, and hold out my hand to her as I face Iida who is rearing to sprint towards us. However, Sato is taking some time for the effects of his Quirk to kick in.

"Momo, weapon."

She quickly creates a one sided shortsword, which would work quite well for now. Iida finally charges towards us at a relatively high speed, which sadly does not save him, even as Todoroki throws a small trail of ice that grows into a large shard set to freeze us.

"Sorry, Todoroki."

Thats the only warning I give him before I turn the blade towards the blunt side and swing down with all my might, using the [Blue Skies], [Sunny Skies] and [War God] [Divine Protections] to strengthen my attack even further and ensure that it does not go awry.

It succeeds, and I can tell that because the next second an extremely compact gust of wind impacts Kaminari solely, sending him flying into the outside of the ring and disabling Todoroki's team for the time being. Though, they still have points so they aren't quite out yet.

With their balance shattered, Ida's speed turns out to be a terrible boon as they now are skidding, relying on ice walls from Todoroki to stay standing, which coincidentally sends them straight into Bakugou.

With those problems dealt with, I go back to talking with Kyouka, Momo and Mei, discussing possibly inviting them to the 'Private Estate' as the school had so endearingly named it. After all, I miss spending time with my friends.

The battles so far had all been disappointing, but that was to be expected. Not only are we heavily restricted but so too are the opportunities to truly duel.

However, the next battle may just be the most pathetic. Infact, it was so pathetic that I didn't even know it had occurred. Mineta had come over to try and take down the 'harem protagonist' and become 'next in line for the babes' which sadly was unfulfilled because every single ball he threw at me was completely redirected thanks to [Arrow Evasion].

The next 7 minutes of the competition were just spent dashing around with [Swiftness] and chatting with my team.

"And thats all! Team Astrea manages to keep their 10,000,000 points the whole round! Which means that moving into the Third event are Team Astrea, Team Bakugou, 2 members of Team Todoroki and Team Midoriya, with 2 extra spaces to be filled by Team Monoma! We'll start right back up after the break."

Finally, Jesus Christ that was boring.

♧◇♡♤

The break was interesting. Very interesting. For one, Todoroki didn't approach me. Instead, he stuck with Midoriya, which I was thankful for because it meant that his problems would be solved without my intervention needed.

Though, he certainly gave me some looks. I think he believes me a kindred spirit. Anyways, as I said my break was interesting. The reasons were extremely varying. The first was that I had been able to meet with some members of 1B, specifically just Itsuka who had wanted to introduce herself. Monoma was angered but just seethed on the side.

The second reason however was something I had no explanation for. I had been dragged away by a pouting Momo over to a student changing room which led to the current situation. She was being extremely aggressive on the romantic front, leaning her body onto mine as she hungrily kisses me.

Holding her by the waist, I pulled her closer to deepen the kiss as she moaned slightly into my mouth, happy at the affection as well as the sexual gratification. I pull back, much to her displeasure, and ask a simple question.

"What brought this about, Momo? You're being far more loving today, and in a public place no less." She squirms in my grip slightly, unable to meet my eyes.

"I just missed you so much. With you moving away, I can't even fall asleep with you near me anymore, and you're being surrounded by more and more women daily. I feel like I'm being forgotten."

Holy shit that's both cute and disheartening, I didn't even realise I had been ignoring her. I cup her cheek and bring her eyes to meet mine, giving a slow, tender kiss to her before speaking again.

"I'm sorry, Momo. I didn't realise you felt that way. I promise I'll spend more time with you, hell you can even come over to the Estate and sleep there with me. Is that good enough?"

She squirms even more before tentatively grabbing my hand that was on her waist, raising it slowly, ever so slowly towards her soft, firm breast as she whispers into my ear.

"No, Reinhard. I want more. More love, more of you in my life, more of your touch. I want all of it, and I want it now." She is being extremely assertive, slightly obsessive and I am all for it.

My left hand snakes around from her waist to her delightfully bewitching behind, cupping it at the same time as my other hand grabs her large breast, kneading them slowly while slipping my tongue into her mouth, her moans fueling me even further in my ministrations.

And then the announcement for the third round echoes in the stadium speakers. For fucks sake.

♧◇♡♤

I enter the main podium, both horny and completely furious at the poor timing of the final round and see that my first opponent is Monoma, someone I don't have to give a single shit about trying against.

Shinso Vs Midoriya

Todoroki Vs Sero

Astrea Vs Monoma

Ida Vs Kendou

Bakugou Vs Uraraka

Hatsume Vs Tokoyami

Yaoyorozu Vs Ashido

Kirishima Vs Jiro

Our fight is third in the total list of 8 battles, with Momo's being 7th of the 8 against Mina. With that established, we go towards the student observation area to watch the first fight, that of Shinso vs Izuku.

The battle was completely ignored, I knew exactly how it happened already so I simply sat at the back of the class seating with [Concealment] activate as I grope and tease Momo, slowly running my finger along her entrance, having wrapped my arm around her waist and slipped my hand in her underwear.

She's leaning her face on my shoulder, breathing heavily as she desperately rubs her body against me, biting her finger to stop the moans from coming out of her mouth. After sufficiently teasing her, I shift my right hand to grope her breast, rubbing circled around her nipple once her bra had been lifted.

Just as I am about to push a finger inside of her, something she had been eager for given how wet she was, the announcement speaker once more goes off, though this time about my own battle and calling me to the arena.

It seems I had gotten lost in my own lust. I am absolutely not complaining though, Momo is extremely attractive and I would happily take the day off even if it meant ignoring the festival just to spend time alone with her.

Nevertheless, I whisper that we'll have to save our private business for after school, which she whines about but agrees all the same, happy at the attention I'd been giving her, then go over to the tunnel for my fight.

It will be a quick one.

♧◇♡♤

"Its time, the undisputed victor of the Sports Festival so far, Reinhard van Astrea, and the challenger from class 1B, Monoma Neito, who will win this bout, folks?"

Monoma having stepped up on stage first laps up the attention, loving the feeling of being in the public eye, before turning in my direction as I slowly walk up the steps to mass cheering, causing him to sneer.

"Well, I certainly think this couldn't be any better. The perfect stage to bring you down, watch you crumble. Wouldn't you agree?

"I apoligise for what is about to happen to you. Please, do not think this is malice. You merely interrupted me."

I hold my arm out, finger against thumb in a snapping motion after having inscribed a Transmutation circle on my hand with invisible ink Momo gave me earlier in the day.

"Begin!"

SNAP. The minute I finish snapping my finger, a chain reaction occurs as oxygen is shifted against a spark from my limited mana control, creating an explosion of fire and pushes Monoma back, who had just begun running forward at my direction.

He tries again to run, but is interrupted by another SNAP causing him to pull away at the last minute. Through the blinding fire of my [Flame Alchemy], I rush towards Monoma and kick him twice in the shin, then another two kicks to the chest as I grab him while he is disoriented and throw him out of the arena.

"Game! Monoma is out by ring-out! Reinhard van Astrea wins!"

An easy fight, but that is to be expected. Another few hours of this and it will finally be over. These battles are inconsequential.
