The Fairy Hero [REWRITE]

第十四話 | 騎兵の戦い

[a/n] okay, so most of y'all wanted a tie so here it is ahaha!

"IT'S...A TIE?!?! MIDORIYA AND MIYAZAKI HAVE TIED FOR FIRST PLACE!!!"

The two looked at each other. Izuku panted whilst Hanako smiled softly at the boy.

She may not have completely won, but she did tie for first place, which she could live with. However, that wouldn't stop her from winning first in any other games!

"Good job Izuku!" The dragon slayer congratulated, patting the boy's back as he continued to pant.

Izuku blushed at the compliment, enjoying the praise.

"T-thank...you," he breathed out. "But you were...amazing...also!"

Hanako smiled warmly at him.

"Well yeah, because you were my competition!" She grinned.

Izuku blinked, more heat rising to his cheeks. She saw him as competition? Izuku was really in awe at the girl. She was so powerful, yet, she saw someone like him as competition. Someone so weak and frail who could barely hold a candle to her.

It really was beautiful.

She was really beautiful.

'Wait, what?! Did I just think that?? I mean, of course I've always thought she was pretty but I think every girl is pretty and come to think of it why do I always get so flustered around her I mean surely there's something wrong with me because we're best friends and I don't know but this feeling is weird and I always feel extra nervous when I'm around her and-'

"Izuku? Izuku!"

"AAH!!" He jumped, his face becoming scarlet red.

"Hey are you okay? You were spacing out there and you had a weird look on your face," Hanako pointed out.

"Y-y-y-yeah I-I'm f-f-fine! J-just d-dandy!!!" He stuttered, laughing nervously at the end.

Hanako blinked in confusion.

"O-kay?"

"THE CONTESTANTS ARE POURING IN ONE AFTER THE OTHER!! LETS HEAR SOME APPLAUSE FOR ALL OUR COMPETITORS AS WE PREPARE THE RESULTS!"

"You guys! That was amazing!!" Uraraka shouted, walking up to the two.

"Thank you."

"Uraraka! You did great too!"

"Thanks Miyazaki!! I can't believe you guys tied for first place, I'm jealous!"

"Oh it was nothing..."

"The first game for the first years is finally over, and what a game it was! Now let's take a quick look at the standings, shall we?" Midnight announced, a score board appearing behind her.

the first 42 names appeared on the board.
