My Avatar is the Heroine

"Then let's get started quickly. The first event is the so-called preliminary selection, where a large number of students are eliminated every year."

"So..." Midnight said, a look of anticipation on her face. "Let's draw the first event! The moment that decides fate!"

The image on the large screen spun rapidly, finally settling on a few large characters.

"Obstacle Race!"

"All students from the 11 classes will participate in this race. The course will go around the outside of the stadium, a total of about 4 kilometers. And in this regard, our school has always prided itself on freedom. As long as you stay within the track, you can use any means... Now, take your positions!"

"The pace is really fast."

Su Lin wondered if his avatars would be enough at this rate.

After all, currently, only X-Mao had any real combat power. Yukino was strong, but only a little better than ordinary people and those with weak Quirks.

At the critical moment, it would depend on their performance.

He wasn't interested in the final ranking anyway.

The countdown was about to begin, and the students were all crowding at the starting line of the main arena.

As the three green lights extinguished one by one, Midnight shouted, "Start!"

Instantly, all the students on the field surged towards the exit like a flood.

Su Lin immediately transformed into Yukino and followed the students' pace.

"No, no, it's getting more and more crowded."

Recalling the difficulties she would encounter at the beginning of this race, Yukino instinctively slowed down.

She didn't want to be groped by some Mineta-like guy when it was so crowded.

"Alright, let's move on to the live commentary." Present Mic sat in the broadcast booth, looking excitedly at Shota Aizawa beside him. "Commentator, are you ready, Mummy?"

"You dragged me here, didn't you?" Shota Aizawa turned his bandaged face over speechlessly.

"Let's get straight to the point, Mummy. What do you think are the highlights of the opening?"

Shota Aizawa paused for two seconds and said faintly, "Now."

Indeed, the starting area was almost suffocating.

"Ah, it's so uncomfortable."

"The starting gate is too narrow."

"My face, my face, my face..."

"Help, who kicked my crotch?"

"Damn it, I got kicked too!"

Towards the back of the crowd, Yukino, who had deliberately slowed down, let out a strange laugh, preparing to accelerate once the people ahead thinned out.

"Hmph, the starting line is the first filter." Unlike everyone else, Shoto Todoroki immediately used his ice, instantly freezing the feet of hundreds of people in front of him, and slid forward as if ice skating.

"It hurts, what is this?"

"So cold!"

Before the other students could even let out a few screams, Katsuki Bakugo brought with him a wave of heat, and relying on the thrust of his explosions, he instantly broke through the crowd.

Momo Yaoyorozu, Eijiro Kirishima, and Yuga Aoyama, using beam propulsion, followed closely behind.

"Too naive, Todoroki, you won't get your way."

Even though it was just the beginning, the race immediately became incredibly exciting. The Quirks of various powerhouses ignited the entire stadium.

And looking at the overall situation, Class A truly lived up to its reputation as an elite class, with almost all of them at the very front.

Chapter 35: Rapid Pursuit

"Take it easy, no rush, no rush."

Yukino ran leisurely at the back, appearing very relaxed.

Some students from the general education course naturally didn't know that Yukino was Su Lin. When they saw her, most of them were stunned for a moment, and then continued running forward on their own.

When Yukino reached the first major obstacle, she was met with giant green robots.

Zero-Pointers!

These things, which were enough to destroy the world during the entrance exam, now appeared in large numbers.

But...

At the very front, Shoto Todoroki gracefully swung his arm, and a chilling ice spread out, completely freezing a robot tens of meters tall. He then stepped forward and was the first to run under the robot.

Seeing this, the others were all shocked.

"He's so strong."

"He froze such a huge monster in an instant."

"This is like a low-budget Esdeath," Yukino also stopped her steps.

As the cold permeated, Shoto Todoroki had already disappeared into the depths of the cold mist, leading everyone.

Seeing the giant frozen lumps, some people rejoiced, "He froze the robots, we can pass between their legs."

"Let's go."

They prepared to seize this opportunity to rush through the area.

But in this very instant, the Zero-Pointer, which had been firmly frozen in place, suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Swarms of students retreated in disarray.

"Hey, wouldn't you die if you got crushed by this thing?"

Yukino wiped a bead of cold sweat, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Amidst this atmosphere, Katsuki Bakugo suddenly ignited fireworks from his palms, using the recoil from each explosion to ascend agilely into the sky, attempting to fly over the heads of the other Zero-Pointers.

Closely following, Sero, who used tape, Fumikage Tokoyami, who used Dark Shadow... one by one, figures displayed their Quirks, quickly overcoming the obstacles presented by these monsters.

"ONE.FOR.ALL full cover!"

Izuku Midoriya decisively used his power, easily passing the stage with fifty percent coverage.

"Pfft, no, I remember only the top 42 in the preliminary round could pass. Although I don't care about my ranking, it's too embarrassing for the Class A class president to not even pass the preliminaries."

Yukino couldn't be bothered anymore. She spread her legs and, while a certain Zero-Pointer was being knocked down, quickly ran past it.

Next, she had to face the regular-sized green robots.

"Pfft, I've been targeted."

Seeing a Zero-Pointer about four to five meters tall chasing her, Yukino had to unleash the explosive power of her legs, sprinting forward at an incredibly exaggerated speed.

"Hey, hey, what's with that person?"

Suddenly seeing an incredibly beautiful girl running at an unbelievable speed, the other students were dumbfounded.

Even more baffling, everyone else was wearing the U.A. High school uniform, but this girl was wearing a simple, light sailor-style short skirt?

She could jump several meters high; her strength was truly extraordinary.

However... it seemed she was about to be surrounded by robots.

Just as Yukino was about to be caught, a green figure suddenly rushed over and punched the robot attacking her away.

"Are you okay, Su Lin?"

"Pfft." Yukino immediately felt like spitting blood. "Weren't you running ahead? Why did you specifically rush back?"

"I saw you were in danger."

"You..."

This guy, as expected... when she was in a male body, she never saw him this proactive.

Many parts of the shattered robots fell to the ground. Yukino suddenly remembered how Izuku passed this part in the original story. She quickly picked up a piece of debris and, the moment a robot charged at her, performed a stylish spin, cutting its entire leg into two pieces.

Rumble—

The robot fell to the ground.

"See? When have I ever needed you, a good-for-nothing, to save me?"

She gave Izuku a very arrogant look, then raised the piece of debris in her hand as if to prove her strength.

"Sorry."

Izuku said this one sentence, activated ONE.FOR.ALL, and continued to rush forward.

In reality, this period was only a few seconds, so she wasn't too far behind the frontrunners.

Although the physical fitness of the U.A. High world was somewhat mystical, Yukino still had an advantage. Her arms could lift 200 kilograms, and her legs were far stronger. A single kick would carry at least half a ton of force, enough to kick a hole through a car's body.

"My training wasn't just about getting hurt!"

With a horizontal strike that pierced a charging four-legged robot, Yukino began to sprint at a speed surpassing that of ordinary students.

The doubled training effect was also an important factor in her strength growth. For ordinary people, increasing muscle strength on top of their original level required constantly increasing the training volume, and it became harder and harder to improve the higher they went. But Yukino had no such worries; at any time, she could achieve the same efficiency as her initial training.

As she ran for a distance, Present Mic's commentary came through: "Hey, hey, someone actually said the first hurdle was a piece of cake. Then what about the second hurdle?"

Second Hurdle: The Abyss Rift.

Ahead, on a chasm connected by steel wires, Tsuyu Asui, Ochaco Uraraka, and even Mei Hatsume from the Support Course were all heading to the other side in their own ways.

Yukino also arrived at the edge of the hurdle.

Gazing down at the bottomless, pitch-black abyss beneath her feet, her eyelids twitched. A certain emotion called acrophobia was spreading.

"Don't think this little difficulty can stop me."

Without any hesitation, she ran!

She leaped into the air, covering a distance of over ten meters, and exerted force again the moment she stepped on the steel wire. Even if she occasionally fell, she could grab the steel wire with her arms to propel herself up again.

"Kero?"

Seeing Yukino-chan fly past her, Tsuyu Asui stuck out her tongue in confusion.

"Little Su Lin's skirt is flying up, it's showing! Good thing no one's around." Classmate Tsuyu started to worry for her.

A few minutes later...

"Shoto Todoroki has reached the third obstacle, and what appears before him is... a vast minefield! This setup is very deliberate; the mine locations can be discovered with careful observation. Use your eyes and feet to their fullest!"

"As a side note, these mines are specifically for the tournament. Their explosive power isn't great, but the sound and visual effects are absolutely stunning."

Present Mic's voice had already made many of the slower students nervous. Some had barely passed the first stage, and the leading group had already reached the entrance to the third.

At this moment, Yukino had easily cleared the second obstacle and was beginning to chase after Izuku Midoriya, who was ahead of her.

"Every kick I make now is half a ton, aaaaah!"

With her full power unleashed, the force of half a ton propelled her body, which weighed less than 100 pounds, forward. While the participants ahead were busy holding each other back, Yukino gradually closed the distance.

"Hey, hey, what's the deal with that beautiful girl? She's not even wearing the school uniform, and she's catching up! She's so fast." Present Mic exclaimed in surprise as he saw her on the screen.

"That's Su Lin. The top scorer in the entrance exam," Shota Aizawa replied calmly.

"Oh ho, it's her? Su Lin, with the Quirk 'Avatar.' He can transform into a very, very, very beautiful young lady! No fakery involved, a real, genuine woman!"

The big screen zoomed in for a close-up, and Yukino felt her facial expression twitch.

Cheers erupted from the audience.

Meanwhile, Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo, who were racing ahead and fighting their way forward, both subconsciously glanced back.

She's here.

Although they considered each other their greatest rivals, the mere mention of Su Lin caused them to instinctively tense up.
