Title: Whispers...
….
-Momo POV-
I look at Denki as he explains his life story. His parents dead and him losing everything along his life, I can see his eyes have a sad glaze to them as he looks at the side.
I never knew... someone like him had such a tragic life story. I wonder how he even has the resolve to become a Hero after everything that happened to him? I can't even say my life story, mine would sound like heaven compared to his. In the end, I can only drink the juice in front of me.
….
After he finishes explaining to me his goals and aspirations for the future. In the end, he says with a look full of confidence on his face. "I will become the number One Hero and replace All Might!"
As he announces that I feel a strange chill go over my body. This feels weird…
I have this strange belief in him that he will be able to do it. He is someone who inspires confidence…
Suddenly my eyes widen, this is a familiar feeling, just like the one people get when they hear of All Might.
….
-General POV-
Even the others who were listening in on the date between Momo and Denki felt chills down their spines. They felt like Kaminari was just telling them a fact.
Izuku looks at his hand when he hears what Kaminari says. 'Am I worthy of One For All? Kaminari would be better suitable.'
He just closed his eyes and turned around walking away. Ochaki notices this and asks him. "Izuku -kun where are you going?"
He doesn't say anything as a look full of determination appears in his eyes. "To train…"
'I must train harder… or I will never be able to defeat Kaminari. All Might said that during the sports festival I need to show that I am the next symbol of peace and say… I AM HERE…'
….
Two weeks pass by and the time of the Sports Festival comes around. Kaminari spends this time doing extensive training.
As he is along the hallways, he can't help but be a little nervous about what he is about to do. This will increase his fame, but at the same time, it will put a lot of pressure on him.
As Kaminari was unsure of something, he imagined what his brother would tell him at this time.
'Dominate them!! You can do it for you are my brother!!'
Immediately Kaminari stops walking for a split second and swears that it felt real, as his brain stimulates the scene. He was always best under pressure. So he thinks of the greatest pressure that he could think of. It was a really silly thing, but it helped him get his game in the game.
Kaminari kind of lies to himself, thinking that his brother was staring at him. His body pumps adrenaline. His eyes concentrated on one simple goal. 'I must dominate them!!'
…
As he walks to where many other U.A freshmen are too. Many people murmured around him, but Kaminari was a little distracted, still, he heard the excited and nervous whispers all around.
He looks at Momo and says. "Good luck, and be careful."
Momo nods back at him too. "I hope to see you in the finals then."
They both have nonchalant looks as they say that. They are more concentrated on the soon to come exam.
Kaminari nods in her direction, he won't be paying any more attention to her and he will now concentrate on the competition.
Though he is confident, even though it might be only his brain playing tricks on him. Kaminari can't help but instinctively listen to the whisper. His brother has always been correct about everything he has done.
...
Midoriya looks around nervously as he sees the many people from the stands cheering at them.
...
That is what midnight seductively walks on the stage making most of the hormonal teenagers here drooling as they see her.
Swish!
She swipes a short whip on the side and as she notices that everyone is paying attention to her, she says. "Now, now, play fair."
The students start whispering about her very… 18+ outfit.
"Oy!!! Silence!!! Now freshman representative, Denki Kaminari 1-A." Calls out Midnight.
Kaminari just walks forward with no problem and he stands in front of Midnight, unlike the other hormonal teenagers around here. He has a calm look on his face as he takes the mic from Midnight. He turns towards his fellow students and thinks about the speech that he wanted to give.
'But… that is so boring…' Thinks Kaminari and in the end, he slows down his perception of time to allow him to think some more about this. 'What would brother do?' Contemplates Kaminari and in the end, he simply starts talking on the mic.
"Great moments are born from great opportunity... And that's what you have here, today. That's what you've earned here today. One day. Some of you might be thinking that you have low chances of winning and that if you competed ten times, they would lose nine of them. But not this time! Not today!" Says Kaminari and then points towards the Pro Hero stands. "Today, we compete with them. Today, we say with them. And we shut them down because we can! Today, we are the greatest heroes in the world."
In the end, Kaminari then points his finger at his fellow freshmen U.A Students. "You were born to be heroes. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here today. This is your time."
He points at the heroes on the stands again. "Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what great heroes they are... Screw them. This is your time, reassure the geezers that they don't need to worry about the future."
He then smiles, his face and body language expressing 100% confidence as he finishes his speech by saying. "Now go out there and take this opportunity given to you."
***WOOOOOOOAAAAHHHHHH***
The whole stadium rises in cheers, even the other students who are supposed to be his competitors' clap and cheer for him.
Kaminari has a reassuring smile on his face, but on the inside, an emotionless state was spreading. 'I will need to win this... for I am... the BEST!!.'
…
Midnight then explains the obstacle course and Present Mic announces…
"BEGIN!!!…"
Fwosh!
Before anyone could react a bright flash passed them all.
…
Not even ten seconds later and Present Mic can't help but say on the mic. "W -What?!! No way!!"
He looks at Aizawa who was wrapped in bandages. "What the hell?"
"Announce it, that is your job. Let me take a quiet nap." Says Aizawa, not responding to what President Mic said.
"WINNER OF FIRST ROUND IS DENKI KAMINARI!!! Form 1-A." Announces Present Mic.
….
Kaminari stops as he looks at the trail that he left behind. 'Just being better than others isn't enough. You must be the Best and the distance between you and them must be unsurpassable to them!'
He then looks towards the stands looking at a black-haired man with dark brown eyes and dark hair. He wasn't too handsome, but his smile could attract people to him. It was strange to Kaminari, as what he saw was just a cold smile with cold eyes looking straight at him. 'Isn't that right brother?'
….
AUTHOR NOTE:
We can see how temporarily the MC started copying his cold brother. He doesn't even realize that he is doing it. He sees his brother as someone who does no wrong move, so he does what he thinks his brother would do.
