"The floor's now roasted and toasted..."
————-

The floor that was once brown, became filled with black ash, fire-dust particles danced around in the air. People emerged and stopped in their tracks once they saw the soot all over the ground. I could sense everyone looking straight at me, making me a bit embarrassed.

Getting over the little moment of shock, I quickly whip my body around and run up the stairs, grunting with every step I took. Finally making it to the next obstacle, I looked around to see if there was a continuation of the second barrier.

"That's right folks, we've quickly arrived at the final barrier."

Oh thank god
I'm saved

"The thing is... you guessed it! It's a minefield!"

AWE MAN WHAT THE FUCK

"It's set up so you can tell where a mine is but only if you look carefully! These mines are only for games, so it's not that powerful. But they're loud and flashy enough to make you wanna wet yourself!"

Gee, thanks for the warning...

Unfortunately for me, my stopping cost me my advantage in the lead, because now Todoroki has reached the minefield and many others. I force myself to jog slowly in order to avoid any mines lurking underneath. As more and more people rushed in, it became difficult for me to maintain some sort of space.

Before I could react, someone ran right beside me. At first I didn't know why they were so close to me, but then it hit me.

Literally.

They're foot maneuvered itself in front of mine which caused me to trip. With no way to save myself from this one, I continued to fall. One by one, each mine my body had landed on exploded from beneath me, causing me to soar through the air. The only thing I could do was yell in pain as the blasts reverberated through my entire being.

I couldn't even lift or save myself as I kept crashing to the ground and exploding once again in the air. In one of the many blasts, it was so strong I was launched up high enough I could see that I was halfway. Up ahead, Bakugou and Todoroki were battling it out which was slowing them down. As I looked at the direction I was falling towards, I realized I could have a chance.

With not a lot of control of myself in the air, I turned and moved until I was diving straight for the ground. I closed my eyes and braced myself for impact. Colliding with the ground, I quickly put my hands on the ground. The energy coursed through my body and released through my palms, creating an explosion that caused a chain reaction with a lot of nearby mines.

The force of the multiple explosions caused me to soar through the sky once again but in the direction I wanted. As I started to fall downwards, I saw Midoriya use Todoroki and Bakugou as launch pads as he hit the ground with a piece of green metal, most likely from the robots. Him now in the air, I realized that we were both in the same line of direction meaning, we were a couple seconds away from crashing into each other. I yelled at him.

"Izuku! Brace yourself!"

To make matters worse, the way my body was falling made the trip down faster than Midoriya's, so next thing you know, we crashed.

Hard.

If I thought those explosions from earlier were painful, this was 100 times worse. We pummel into the hard earth, sliding and rolling. Groaning as I try to lift myself up as quick as I can, I hear a noise coming from under me. I quickly looked down and saw Midoriya, his eyes wide and mouth open in shock.

Behind us, towards the end of the minefield, I heard Bakugou's screams.

"DEKU!!! Y/N!!!"

"Y-Y/n?"

I jump away from the boy and pull him up as well.

"Sorry Izuku! Gotta blast!"

And with that I ran as fast as I've ever ran before. My whole body is telling me I'm about the crumble into pieces but I force myself to keep moving. I enter the passway and push myself to go even faster. I could hear ice crackling, blasts exploding, and feet stomping coming up from behind me. I was no match for Midoriya in the damaged position I was in as he made it next to me, then passed me, only a couple seconds faster. Even so, I pushed myself until I reached the exit.

"The first person to make it back in the stadium is.... Izuku Midoriya! And right behind him is Y/N L/N!"

And with that, I looked toward Aizawa who was in the speaker box.

I did it

I managed to not be dead last

Second place... I fucken did it.

"Here comes Todoroki and Bakugou, making it to 3rd and 4th place! And now, people are finishing one after the other!"

I go to my green-haired friend and slap him on the back.

"Good job buddy, I knew you could do it!"

"Y/N! You did really well. I was amazed at everything you did during the course. It seems we even had the same ideas about the mines when we both went into the air and..."

"Crashed into each other and literally almost killing ourselves in the process? Yea, that was pretty damn neat. And again, sorry for landing on you."

He furiously waves his hands around. "O-Oh it's no problem at all, so don't worry about it! It's not your fault we both were in the air at the same time!"

"Hahah, yeah sure. Well I'ma go congratulate Todoroki and Bakugou, they were really close to beating our asses."

"Yea, tell me about it. It really felt as if someone was going to die from the way Kacchan was screaming at the top of his lungs."

I laughed as I made my way towards Todoroki, who's face looked a bit too serious than normal. Which is understandable though, given that he didn't make it to first place.

"Hey, Shouto!"

Turning his head towards my voice he nods at me as I finally make it to where he was.

"Hello Y/N..."

"Good job on the obstacle course. The way you created those huge mounds of ice was so freaking amazing!"

"Thank you. You did very good too Y/N."

"I think I could've done better if I had been a bit more smarter in how I went through the minefield to be honest, but thank you for saying that. I'ma go give my congrats to Bakugou so I'll catch you later... Oh and Shouto?"

"Yes?"

"I thought you accepted that we were friends already. What you said back at the waiting room, did you really think I would let that slide?" Quirking my brow, I gave him a pointed stare.

He looked at me with eyes now a bit wide and shook his head no.

"No... I consider only you as what you would call a friend..."

"Even though that does make me feel better knowing you did really mean that we were friends, you gotta try to open yourself up more. You need to get yourself out of that mindset and trust people, you know?"

He nods his head

"Good, I'm glad we're on understanding terms. Now then, I'll see you later."

With that I waved at him and looked for Bakugou, who was standing with his back away from people and hunched over. When I reached him I saw that he was too caught up in his thoughts that he didn't realise I was there. He was breathing heavily and looking down with what looked like a pained expression.

Walking around to face his head, I squatted down right in front of him and gently moved some of the hair that was blocking his eyes. That seemed to catch his attention.

"The fuck do you want. Here to rub it in my face the fact that you got second place while I got fucken fourth?"

I shake my head and flick his forehead with my free hand. He quickly stood up, blocking his forehead in the process.

"The fuck was that for?"

"It was to make you realize dumb you sound. The reason I'm actually here to say to you a good job and congrats on getting fourth place. But now, I'm also here to check to see how you're doing. Why so serious? Now don't get me wrong, you're usually serious, but this feels different."

He scoffs "Why the hell do you fucken care? Why don't you go worry yourself over some damn extras."

I sprung up from my squat and lightly smacked him on the head. Queue the deadly glare towards me.

"Well first of all, I can worry about whoever the hell I want and no one's gonna tell me otherwise. And second of all, I fucken care because you're one of my best friends, you idiot."

He was about to open his mouth to say something, but I stopped him.

"Oh and before you start saying a bunch of shit you don't mean and you'll probably regret, just know that I'm not doing this because I want to feel better about myself or to make you feel weak. I'm over here talking with you, asking to see if you're doing alright, because I genuinely care about you and enjoy having conversations with you. Now then, with this, I allow you to say what you were going to say."

No words came out of his mouth as he stood there, unmoving. I rolled my eyes and lightly punched him in the shoulder.

"Wow, my declaration of our undying friendship rendered you speechless, as expected. I'm just such an amazing friend."

He rolls his eyes now and flicks my forehead hard.

"Damn you asshole, what was that for?"

He leaned closer to me as we held a staring contest. He smirked and said,
"Payback for earlier. You deserved it."

"Yea yea sure I did."

The intercom announced for us to move back to the center so we can see what else Midnight has in store for us.

"The top 42 will make it to the next round. It's unfortunate, but those who didn't make it shouldn't worry! There are plenty other chances to make you shine. Now then, the real competition is next so everyone, give it your all! The second game is.....
