[3rd Person POV]

"I did it, Izuku. I won...I actually won..." 

The voice of (Y/n) faintly said to no one in particular as he looked out at the spectacle before him. Time slowed as his gaze searched through the crowd of over a thousand people gathered in the U.A. arena. With each face he passed by, not a single one wasn't smiling. Which was a surprise to (Y/n)...He didn't really have that effect on people before. Yet now, all he could hear were the cheers from people he didn't even know.

"You were awesome!"

"Great job!"

"You deserve this!"

"Good luck!"

"Way to go, kid!"

Even though they were simple words, (Y/n) couldn't help but smile further. But what would you expect? Having gone through a childhood of pain and anguish, to receiving a standing ovation from a crowd of complete strangers. They had no reason to like him...Not that many others did already. But here they were. Cheering him on. And they weren't alone. The various screens that ran around the arena also showcased his glory. 

A running image of the young boy's current placement in the middle of U.A.'s arena ran around the entire country. People in homes, work, and even heroes that guarded the very sporting event that was currently being held. All saw the name (Y/n) Midoriya and the fact that he...Not Kaito. Not Todoroki. Not anyone else. But he! He was the one to win. He was the one to tell everyone...That he was here...was more than he could ever ask for.

Bakugo: "Yeah, boy!" [Pulls you into a headlock] "Whatcha say, (Y/n)? Pretty awesome assist from your best bro, huh?"

Suddenly pulled back to reality, (Y/n)'s head quickly shifted to his side, where Bakugo could be seen standing, a grin spread across his face, as he held his arm tightly around (Y/n)'s neck. But (Y/n) couldn't find a moment to correct his friend. All he could do was smile and nod in agreeance, as people all around Tokyo, and Japan itself cheered him on.

Inko: [Whilst Crying] "(Y...(Y/n)! MY BABY!!!"

The crying wails of (Y/n)'s mother filled her apartment complex as she dropped to the ground in complete joy from seeing her son achieve the impossible. Meanwhile, outside the arena, Kamui Woods and Death Arms could be seen silently watching guard, whilst in the background Mt Lady could be seen getting her photo taken by a plethora of paparazzi. Of course, she didn't mind one bit. 

However, as if a silent voice called to each one of them. These heroes, who unknowst had a place in the story of (Y/n) Midoriya, turned around in union. To immediately have their eyes widened upon seeing the smiling face of (Y/n) on the big screen, as he had his head violently rubbed in by a teasing Bakugo. It didn't take long for them to notice the familiar face who had just won the school's first event.

Death Arms: "Hey, isn't that..."

Kamui Woods: "There's...There's no way right...?"

Mt Lady: "Well, hello~"

The sudden remark from Mt. Lady was all it took for others to turn to her with a confused glance. But these heroes, nor (Y/n)'s own mother, were alone in seeing the victory claimed by the secret apprentice of All Might. For somewhere, in an unknown location, in a dark room, Tomura Shigaraki, the person who led the villains to attack U.A. not long back, one which caused such a fierce turn-up of security for the sports festival, could be seen staring blankly at the paused face of (Y/n) that rested on the monitor before him.

Shigaraki: "The 'main character' won, huh...?"

He silently muttered to himself, his face hidden by the shadows as he repeatedly scratched at his neck. But neither this, nor anything else could affect (Y/n) right now. He was stuck in a state of awe as he struggled to tear his eyes away from the amazed crowd around him. Though, Bakugo did his best to do that.

Bakugo: "Bro! Can you fucking believe this?! These people love you! They're gonna be up all fuckin' night screaming your name!"

(Y/n): [Chuckles lightly] "I-I don't know about that, man..."

Though, it honestly sounded kinda call to have people cheering for him. Enough that it brought a smile back to (Y/n)'s lips. It was as this excited feeling ran through his body that he took a moment to glance up at the teacher's box All Might was seated in with a bunch of other familiar faces. There, teachers ranging from Snipe to Thirteen could be seen offering their own applause for (Y/n) and his victory this day. All the while, next to them, All Might struggled to not shake his body out of his seat due to how excited he was for (Y/n).

But for every person that was excited for (Y/n)'s victory, there were a few who were displeased by the sight. One such person was Tomura Shigaraki. But the leader of the league of villains was not the only one. In fact, one other person who was sick from seeing people cheering on (Y/n), was much closer than anyone knew. To the side, placed on a knee as he caught his breath, Kaito could be seen offering (Y/n) yet another fierce glare. One filled with so much rage and anger. Such was made clear bny the way he suddenly slammed his fist into the ground.

Kaito: [Thoughts] "...Enjoy the victory whilst you can, Deku. You're nothing but a sheep to these people. Once you get a taste of defeat, they'll forget you even existed. Same can be said for everyone else at this school. You're not special. You're no rival. You're nothing...And I'll use this Sports Festival to show them that...Just you wait."

Another person who held ill disregard toward (Y/n), though not on the same level as Kaito, was Todoroki. A look of defeat rested on his face as he looked at the ground before him. Sweat and dry air escaped his mouth as he lifted his head to see the victorious expression on (Y/n)'s face. But whereas such a look angered Kaito. It seemed pushed Todoroki forward. To do better. To come out on top. 

And that drive to be the best was only catapulted further when he turned his gaze toward the crowd, upon doing so, his eyes landed on a familiar face. One surrounded by the flames of hell itself. In the end, Todoroki simply walked off, something (Y/n) managed to catch sight of. But before he could do or say anything, his focus was directed elsewhere when a familiar voice called out abruptly.

[Your POV]

"(Y/n), you were amazing!"

(Y/n): "Huh?"

I didn't exactly know who'd be calling me amazing after a race where we were all going up against each other, but I soon came to understand why someone would say that when I turned around to see Uraraka was the cause. She gave off a cute agitated as she stomped her way over to Bakugo and I. Despite just finishing the race, she still found ways to find energy in complaining...Wait, did I just call her cute?

Uraraka: [Groans] "Man! I was really hoping I'd win this time! I didn't even get to use my special move!"

Yeah...Definitely cute.

Uraraka: "I mean, you got to use yours! That was so not fair!"

(Y/n): [Chuckles] "Sorry, Uraraka. I just wanted to get those villain bots out of the way."

Uraraka: [Sighs] "It's fine...Though, I don't know if Iida will be able to accept defeat as well as I can."

(Y/n): "Huh? What do you--"

Iida: "...I can't believe I fell behind with this Quirk...I'm a disgrace to my family..."

(Y/n): "Oh..."

The sight of Iida having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18 was definitely something you wouldn't expect. But for someone who took school life so seriously, I guess it shouldn't be too much of a surprise. Either way, Bakugo was sure to take it as such.

Bakugo: "BWAHAHAHA!! The extra got extra! You didn't even come in the top three!"

Iida: [Mutters to himself] "Maybe...Maybe I am an extra..."

Iida simply questioned reality itself as he looked down at his hands in defeat. Now, I'll admit, I was a little worried about him. But I soon found my gaze shifted back to Uraraka, who looked at the ground with a small smile as she dug her foot into the ground. I couldn't help but take a moment to smile at the adorable sight. For someone who was almost an adult in a few years, she sure had ways of acting like a kid. And if I'm being honest... I wasn't a bad sight to have in a dark world like that. Unfortunately for me, what was bad was being caught staring at a girl when you probably shouldn't be.

Uraraka: "What?" [Smiles] "Do I have something on my face?"

And just like that I was a broken record.

(Y/n): "U-Uh, what? No. No! Not at all! I-I was just looking at you because, uh...I-I don't know you...Y-You--"

Bakugo: "...This...This is what I live for..."

(Y/n)/Urarka: "Huh?"

It was at that moment that Uraraka and I turned to our left to see Bakugo's face inches from between our own. His goofy grin spread across his lips. The funny thing is, as annoying as this gets. I don't know whether I should thank him this time around for saving me from a wave of awkwardness. So I simply just decided to roll my eyes at him and Uraraka grew a blush. Something that only grew when Bakugo said something weird to her.

Bakugo: "So, O-Chocco...Got anything else to say to my boy besides just that he's awesome~ Huh~"

Uraraka: "U-Uh, what? Say something?" [Blushes madly] "Say something to (Y/n)? P-Pfft! As if, it's not like I--"

Bakugo: "Oh, come on~ Remember~ That thing I overheard you say at USJ?"

(Y/n): "Thing?" [Turns to Uraraka] "What thing? Everything alright?"

Immediately Uraraka's gaze snapped to my own, her face instantly turning red as she frantically looked around herself.

Uraraka: "Oh, um, yeah! E-Everything's fine! T-Totally fine!" [Glares at Bakugo] "Bakugo's just remembering things incorrectly."

(Y/n): "O...Kay?" [Glances between Bakugo and Uraraka] "I'm just gonna leave that here for you two too, um...Yeah..."

If I'm being honest, I could imagine a million things this weird turn of the conversation was leading too. I mean, Bakugo was Bakugo. He could have said anything to Uraraka which caused her to grow embarrassed. He had a bad habit of running his mouth, so, whatever it was, I just hope it didn't effect Uraraka too much. 

Speaking of Uraraka, however, when I turned back to glance at her, her entire body had come to a pause. Her gaze glued onto something random but not exactly focusing on it. It seemed like she was in deep thought. Stuck on a topic she didn't know whether to bring up or not. Little did I know what that exact topic was at this current time.

Uraraka: [Thoughts] "There's...There's no way I can tell him now, right? I mean, how awkward would that be? He just wins the race and I come up to him saying 'Hey, (Y/n), we've been friends for a while. But ever since you saved my life I've had this massive crush on you and I can't stop thinking about you'. I can't say that to him now...R-Right?"

A few seconds later Uraraka lifted his eyes up to my own. I couldn't exactly tell what the look reminded me of. But the best resemblance I could think of was the times when you're a kid, and you're there waiting to come to the conclusion whether or not you should ask your Mom if your friend could stay over the night. I don't know why my mind brought me to that outcome. But it was all I could think of as Uraraka's pause broke into a fragment of a sentence.

Uraraka: "U-Uh...Um...W-Well, I mean...(Y-Y/n)...Um..."

(Y/n): "Uh..." [Chuckles lightly] "Yeah, Uraraka?"

Uraraka: "U-Um, well...I-I was just wondering..." [Taps fingers together] "I don't know...M-Maybe...I-If you..."

Bakugo: [Thoughts] "Yes...Say it...Say it so my bro can finally get what he deserves..."

Uraraka: [Squeezes eyes shut] "I was just thinking--Haha--That, maybe, I-I don't know...W-We've known each other f-for a while now, and...and..." [Eyes snap out] "And I was just wondering if you wanted to--"

"(Y/n)!!!"

Bakugo/(Y/n)/Uraraka: "Huh?"

Immediately my focus was pulled away from Uraraka, the same could be said for both her, and Bakugo, as we all turned in union in the direction the voice came from. But to my surprise, the thing that we saw was none other than a floating U.A. Physical training uniform. Though, of course, that wasn't exactly it. It only took me a second more to realize the floating uniform was none other than Hagakure. But before I could outwardly confess the realization, I was abruptly tackled into a hug by the invisible girl. Something I wasn't expecting, yet was unable to break free from as she wrapped her arms around my body.

Hagakure: "You were incredible! You truly were! I can't believe you came in first! Well, I mean, I can, like, believe that...You're you!"

(Y/n): "Uh...T-Thanks, Hagakure? Um...You did great too?"

...Alright, so I didn't really know what else to say. But can anyone blame me? I mean, for starters, my mind was currently racing with so many thoughts that suddenly getting hugged was the least I expected to happen. The added factor that Hagakure was a girl, who was hugging me extremely tightly, causing certain...um...areas to push against my body didn't exactly help me start a full-on conversation. 

The fact Bakugo was here to witness all of this wasn't an added bonus by any means either. It was as I was still reeling in for the sudden contact that Bakugo slid in from the side, sporting his same annoying, punchable, grin. His hands were placed together as if he was an evil genius. And, to be honest, with how his sole goal in life was getting me with a girl. It probably fits the scene perfectly.

Bakugo: "Well. Well. Well. What do we have here...TWO girls coming to greet the champ." [Nudges you] "Whatcha say, (Y/n)? Got anything to offer your fans?"

(Y/n): [Blankly Stares] "They're not my fans, dude."

The way Bakugo's eyebrows hopped up and down seemed to indicate that he disagreed. Before I could say anything, he began laughing, his eyes closed, as he turned to Uraraka.

Bakugo: [Cackles] "What do you say, O-Chocco? Maybe seeing this wants you to--Oh my gosh."

(Y/n): "Huh?"

From Bakugo's sudden reaction upon turning to Uraraka, it was a given my gaze would follow shortly after, and what I saw...Made me share the same emotion as Bakugo. For upon turning my eyes to Uraraka, the first thing I saw was greeted by was the adorable way in which she scrunched up her face, clenching her hands together just before her chest, as she stared my way. At first, I couldn't realize why. 

But all it took was a simple drop of my gaze to see her eyes lining up with my hands...

Hands which were currently glued to Hagakure's waist. A moment of silence separated this scene from the next as my eyes lingered on where my hands were, before slowly lifting to look up at the spot of Hagakure's body where her head was. As soon as my eyes met nothing, we immediately broke apart. The invisible girl left nervously tapping her two index fingers together whilst I scratched the back of my head.

Hagakure: "Uh...Um..."

(Y/n): "...Yeah...Sorry...I, uh..."

Hagakure: "No. No. It's fine. I-I was just excited for you..."

(Y/n): "Oh...Yeah...Thanks. Um..." [Realizes] "Oh! Uraraka! You wanted to--"

But upon turning back to Uraraka, all I was greeted by was the sight of her stomping away, all the while dragging a confused, and still processing, Iida, by the back of his uniform.

(Y/n): "...Say something."

All I could do was stare on in silence as Bakugo and Hagakure gathered around me. Despite not knowing exactly what she wanted to say to me, I found myself regretting not giving Uraraka the proper moment to speak. But with Bakugo and Hagakure coming out of nowhere, I struggled to do that. Now, I could have gone after her, but I felt as if doing that would only sour the moment further. So I remained where I was, but not once did I forget the image of Uraraka's frustrated look.

[3rd Person POV]

So as (Y/n) slowly turned back around, Uraraka continued to stomp on her way. As she did so, she passed by the collapsed pile of Kaminari, Sero, and Kirishima. Meanwhile, Iida snapped out of his defeated haze to lift a finger into the air and comment on his current positon.

Iida: "Uraraka, is there a reason why I'm currently being dragged away against my will?"

Uraraka: "Emotional support!"

Iida: "Oh...Okay."

Now, Iida didn't really fight any more mainly due to the fact Uraraka sounded annoyed. And despite how cute and adorable she can be at times. It was still scary to see her angry. So he merely accepted being dragged along. As he was, the pair passed by Yaoyorozu, who currently had her uniform unbuttoned showcasing a grey sports bra underneath. 

Yaoyorozu: "This isn't how it was supposed to go..."

But the tired and defeated look on her face was not due to the difficulties of the race. Instead, it was due to a certain hitchhiker who was currently stuck to her back. The cat-like figure of a battered and bruised Mineta could be seen, his hands and feet stuck to the back of Yaoyorozu thanks to the grapes currently glued to her body which he used as leverage to remain in place.

Mineta: "I killed two birds with one stone. I'm a genius!"

Yaoyorozu: "You're the worst."

All Yaoyorozu could do was turn her head back to the front and sigh, she was seconds away from allowing her body to just drop to the ground. However, before she did so, an interesting sight caught her attention. In the distance, a silent (Y/n) could be seen still reeling from what happened with Uraraka, though he did try his best to smile for the person in front of him. And that person was none other than Hagakure, who placed her hands atop (Y/n)'s shoulders and used them to bounce up and down. 

The action causing some features of the eighteen-year-old invisible girl to bounce in union. Now, it wasn't exactly known what happened to Yaoyorozu after this. Whether it was anger and a boost in morale. But upon seeing the invisible girl waste not a moment to make herself known to (Y/n) was far beyond agitating for Yaoyorozu to see. 

Mainly because she had a crush on the boy, and with Hagakure showing no restraint it made Yaoyorozu unable to control her temper. But she couldn't just go attack Hagakure. No. She was still Momo's friend, and despite Momo not liking the sight of the Invisible girl flirting with (Y/n). She wouldn't drop below her morals. But as Yaoyorozu figured out what to do in order to not let the boy she likes get taken away, her attention was suddenly directed elsewhere when she felt Mineta rubbing his cheek against her back.

Mineta: "I'm a genius. I'm so smart. I should really give myself more credit. Now I'm into the next round and I get to feel a girls bod--"

Yaoyorozu: "...Mineta..."

Mineta: "Huh?"

Upon opening his eyes, the only thing Mineta could see was the deranged look of anger that speared Yaoyorozu's face. From that moment on, the sound of punches flooded the air. A short while later, Yaoyorozu could be seen walking away, as she did, she was holding her head high and buttoning up her unfirm. Not far behind her, an even more beaten and bruised Mineta could be seen lying on the ground. It was with this that the first event of the Sports Festival came to an end, as it did, the voice of Midnight sounded into the air. The aforementioned female teacher standing on the stage as she listed off the people moving onto the next round.

Midnight: "And with that Ladies and Gentlemen, the first event of the First-Year stage is finally over! Now~" [Licks lips] "Let's take a look at the results~"

1st.) Class A - (Y/n) Midoriya~~
2nd.) Class A - Shoto Todoroki
3rd.) Class A - Katsuki Bakugo
4th.) Class B - Itijam Kaito
5th.) Class B - Ibara Shiozaki
6th.) Class B - Juzo Honenuki
7th.) Class A - Tenya Iida
8th.) Class A - Fumikage Tokoyami
9th.) Class A - Ejiro Kirishima
10th.) Class A - Hinata Sero
11th.) Class B - Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
12th.) Class A - Mashirao Ojiro
13th.) Class B - Yosetsu Awase
14th.) Class A - Tsuyu Asui
15th.) Class A - Mezo Shoji
16th.) Class A - Rikido Sato
17th.) Class A - Ochaco Uraraka
18th.) Class A - Momo Yaoyorozu
19th.) Class A - Minoru Mineta

Other such people that managed to pass included familiar faces like Ashido, Koda, Jiro, Kaminari, Hagakure, and the final person to just make it in the 42nd, and last spot... Aoyama. There were also a bunch of other Class 1-B students that made the race. Unfortunately, students from the various other courses were soon eliminated from the sports festival. But for those who remained, their chance to show the Pro Heroes around the world what they've got was still very much available. For those left, they could now be seen gathered around the stage where Midnight was now addressing them.

Midnight: "And there we have it, the top 42 moves onto the next round. It's unfortunate, but don't worry if you didn't make it through! We've prepared other chances for you to shine."

It was as Midnight said that, that her gaze landed on (Y/n), amongst the crowd of students before her. Even with his best attempt at hiding from the female predator's gaze, (Y/n) was still spotted, thus leaving him vulnerable for a smirk and lick of her lips. The excited feeling Midnight for was only quenched by her bitting the edges of her fingernails. But despite how excited she was, she quickly had to shake herself free and continue speaking.

Midnight: "Mmm~ A-Anyway, the real competition begins next! The press cavalry'll be all over it! Give it your all!" [Glances at you] "I'll be rooting for you~"

"Was she looking at me?"

"Guys! I think she was talking about me!"

"No way, dude! She was totally--"

Midnight: "I WAS TALKING ABOUT NONE OF YOU..." [Smiles softly] "Now then..." [Whips air] "Here is the second game. I already know what it is, but what could it be? What could it be indeed~"

As the words rolled off Midnight's tongue, the screen behind her began to rapidly zoom passed the various choices the next game could be. However, they were moving so quickly that no one could make out any of the names.

Midnight: "Here's a hint, I just said it..."

With his eyes focusing on the screen, (Y/n)'s mouth took a dry turn. Watching in anticipation as Midnight lifted her whip into the air once more and struck it with a loud clap. As she did, the next game was revealed.

Midnight: "And here it is...A Cavalry battle!"

Kaminari: "A Cavalry battle? I'm bad at those..." [Turns to Sero] "...What are those again?"

Tsuyu: "It's not an individual event, so I wonder how it'll work..."

Midnight: [Chuckles] "Allow me to explain...The participants can form teams of two to four people as they wish. It's basically the same as a regular cavalry battle. but the one thing that's different...is based off the results of the last game, each person has been assigned a point value."

Bakugo: "A point value system?"

(Y/n): "Like the entrance exam. Remember?"

Bakugo: "Ooooh...Yeah. Ha! Doesn't matter! We'll still crush it, right, dude?!"

The pair of (Y/n) and Bakugo proceeded to fist pump, clearly, a team of at least two had already been formed. Not far away, Uraraka and a few others finally got their heads around what Midnight was talking about.

Uraraka: "In other words, each team is worth different points depending on who's on the team!"

Ashido: "Oh! I get it now!"

Kaminari: [Chuckles loosely] "Haha...I don't."

WHIP!

Midnight: "YOU GUYS DON'T HOLD BACK, EVEN WHEN I'M TALKING, HUH?!"

The sudden snap from the stage was enough to make everyone freeze in place out of fear of Midnight. But the teacher was quick to regain her composure as the screen began her flicked to the names of the 42 people that made it through to the next game, and the points that came with them.

Midnight: "But that's right. And the points assigned to you go up by five by five starting from the bottom. So 42nd place only has Five total points..."

Aoyama drops his head immediately in dismay.

Midnight: "...41st has ten points! And the point value assigned to the lucky person in first place is..."

"TEN MILLION?!?!?!?!"

The voice of everyone present screamed in complete shocked. Struggling to understand how anyone could possibly survive this next round with that many points. But when they turned to the first with those points, they soon came to realize maybe it wasn't the worst thing. Amongst the crowd, a bored (Y/n) could be seen just standing there with his hands in his pockets.

(Y/n): "...What?"

Bakugo: "HAHAHA!!!" [Struggles to breath] "Oh...Hah...You guys are so fucked."

But whereas Bakugo was as confident as ever, a few noticeable people who'd love to bring (Y/n) down a peg were certainly sparked to life upon hearing this. A few being none other than Kaito, Todoroki, and Hitoshi Shinso, the purple-haired guy who confronted (Y/n) and the rest of Class 1-A outside their classroom. He was also the person who was being carried by other students during the event race. But even with these three being the main ones, plenty of other people who were not as knowledgeable of (Y/n) were hopeful in the chance to bring this random student from Class 1-A down. But (Y/n), he didn't care. He simply just looked back at all the hungry eyes around him, whilst Bakugo cackled at them as he leaned against his best friend's shoulder.

Bakugo: "You're all so dead."

Midnight: [Coughs] "...In other words, if you take down first place players team...you can stand at the top no matter what place you are in!" [Giggles] "I'm sure you must be quite afraid, (Y/n). Surely when you lose you and I can...Talk about that personal training~"

(Y/n): "...But I'm not going to lose."

The way in which he said that in such a calm 'I honestly don't give an F' way was enough to shock all those hungry faces around him, and make Midnight...Moan?

Midnight: "AH~ So manly~"

Midnight was so thrown off that she was forced to drop to her knees, her legs shaking from the excitement. She was so unresponsive, that Present Mic was forced to take over speaking from the commentary box.

Present Mic: "Uh...A-Anyway...You heard it here first, dear listeners! It's survival of the fittest! With a chance to overthrow the person at top, everyone will be on top of their game. And unfortunately for the unlucky person at top...It's going to be incredibly hard to find people willing to be on his team.

******

[Your POV]

Sato: "Team up with me!"

Mineta: "No with me!"

Ashido: "What? (Y/n), team up with me!"

Aoyama who looks like he's about to piss: "D-Don't you wanna team up with me?"

Okay, sure, I expected a few people to want to team up with me...But I never expected a good twenty-seven of the forty-two students moving onto round 2, to want to be on my team so badly. It wasn't even just people from Class 1-A, even people I didn't know from Class 1-B wanted to be on my team, including a girl with vines for hair.

Shiozaki: "I believe it would be beneficial for both of us to be on the same team, don't you?"

(Y/n): "Um..."

There was a guy whose head was literally ripped out of a manga.

Fukidashi: "Come on, man! We'd be awesome together! Tell ya what! Let me join your team and I'll make a manga about you!"

(Y/n): "Oh, you don't--"

Mineta: "Hey! That's not fair! You're basically bribing him!"

Kaminari: "Yeah! That's not cool..."

...Should anyone really be surprised that immediately following this statement everyone around me started offering me things if I let them be on my team.

Sato: "I'll bake you a cake! No, two cakes!"

Mineta: "I'll show you my hentai!"

Aoyama who looks like he's about to piss: "I-I can totally stylize your look! I-I'll make you so cool!"

(Y/n): "Um...Are you alri--"

Jiro: "I'll let you listen to my music!"

Kaminari: "I'll charge your phone for you!"

Tsuyu: "I can take you shopping and we can pick out some tight pants for you to wear."

Mineta: "I'll show you my hentai."

Yaoyorozu: [Nervously fidgeting] "Uh, well, maybe, w-we can go somewhere for lunch. I-I can pay! A-And after we can go see a movie. I-If you want to see a movie I mean..."

Uraraka: [Nerously fidgeting] "I-I don't really have much to give. But if you pick me for your team I promise I won't let you down..."

It was as both Uraraka and Yaoyorozu came to finish their sentences that happened to glance at each other to see them both having the same nervous expression on their faces. It caused both girls to pause and stare at each other. Allowing more people to step forward.

Kirishima: "Come on, (Y/n)! Pick me! Bro! Come on, we're bros!"

Sero: "You're not bros, Kirishima."

Kaminari: "Yeah, man. Just accept it."

Kirishima: "We are so bros! (Y/n) tell the--"

Mineta: "I'll show you my hentai!"

Koda: "I can have birds never poop on you again!"

Sero: "I'll swing you around the city!"

You know, it's weird. When I was younger and I was pretty much left alone, I always wanted people to be around me and give me some attention. But now that I have it...IT FUCKING SUCKS! Lucky for me...I have Bakugo. And speaking of the knucklehead. It was as so many faces pushed up close to my own that the voice of the aforementioned male broke from within the crowd.

Bakugo: "ALRIGHT! THAT'S ENOUGH!"

The crowd quickly shifted apart to reveal my dearest friend standing at the back with a disapproving look on his face. With a path now cleared, he began walking through the crowd to slowly reach me.

Bakugo: "Now, my client is a very busy man. He has ten million points and isn't desperate for anyone to be in his team. Well..." [Grins] "Except me, of course~"

And just like that Bakugo switched from the serious pretend lawyer, back to his goofy-ass normal self.

Mineta: "Wait! Bakugo's in your team?!"

Sero: "Of course, Bakugo is in his team, idiot. They're best friends."

Tsuyu: "I am not surprised to see Bakugo be on (Y/n)'s team..."

Everyone turns to Tsuyu to see what she'll say next.

Tsuyu: "...Clearly he realizes his lack of skills will fail him in this next game and requires the help from (Y/n) to win."

Bakugo: "WHAT THE HELL, FROG?! I DON'T NEED (Y/N)! I'M THE ONE THAT HELPED HIM WIN THE RACE!"

Tsuyu: "...Is that so? I didn't notice."

Bakugo: "PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY LOOKING AT (Y/N)'S BUTT!"

...I don't know what was scarier. The fact that Bakugo said that, OUT LOUD, in public...Or the fact that Tsuyu didn't deny it. When I turned to her, she just stared right at me. The scene quickly went silent until Mineta mumbled a sentence together.

Mineta: "Man...Now they're definitely going to win."

Bakugo: "QUIET WORM! Now...In a calm and evenly manner, I'll ask that each of you come forward and put your request as to why you should join our team."

Looking around the students gathered silently agreed to the reasons and went to announce why they should be considered to join the team of (Y/n) Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo. The first to step up were Uraraka and Yaoyorozu, who were both surprised when the other thought to go first.

Uraraka/Yaoyorozu: "Well, if you would let me--"

Hagakure: "I'll go on a date with him."

"...HUH?!"

The sound was more so made by Uraraka and Yaoyorozu than followed by everyone else. Immediately all eyes fell onto the hovering uniform of Hagakure. The invisible girl the centre of attention. I was so caught off guard by the sudden reasoning by Hagakure that all I could do was drop my jaw slightly in shock. Meanwhile Uraraka and Yaoyorozu, who had now forgotten about the other, were left perplexed and annoyed that Hagakure had cut them off. Nonetheless, use the card about going on a date to me. But despite how surprising that was though...Nothing...And I mean NOTHING...Was as shocking as what came next.

Bakugo: "Sorry. No girls allowed."

Hagakure: "Huh?"

Uraraka: "W-What?"

Yaoyorozu: "Wait. Why?"

The notion of no girls allowed was definitely a shock to all. Even (Y/n) cocked his head to the side upon hearing Bakugo speak such blasphemy.

Kaminari: "What do you mean, Bakugo?"

Sero: "Yeah. I thought your whole stick was setting up (Y/n) with a girl?"

Bakugo: "It is." [Turns to the girls] "But look...Fighting to the death--"

(Y/n): "We're not fighting to the death."

Bakugo: "--Fighting in general is a guy's thing. That's nothing against you girls. I love girls. And so does my boy. But with how I plan for this game to go...Shits about to get real. Like up all night type of shit...And I just don't think you girls will be able to handle that..."

As soon as the words left Bakugo's mouth, all the girls went silent and dropped their head. I don't know whether or not it was because they also planned to use this tactic or what. Either way, before long, at least a quarter of the people around us had left. Leaving just the guys remaining.

Bakugo: [Sighs] "A shame, but a necessary sacrifice..." [Grins] "Oh, well, I'll just promise them a date with (Y/n) and they'll get over it."

(Y/n): "Dude...Please don't do that..."

Bakugo: "Buh! Buh! Buh! (Y/n)...Ya boy's negotiating here." [Turns to the guys] "Alright, dweebs. Why should we pick you?"

Sato: "I can make you guys food whenever you want!"

Bakugo: "Hmm...Infinite food...Alright...Next?"

Shoji: "I can find out which girls like (Y/n) with my Quirk?"

Bakugo: "No need. All girls already like him. Next!"

Mineta: "I can sh--"

Bakugo: "Next!"

Mineta: [Sighs] "But I--"

Bakugo: "NEXT!"

Sero: "I can fly you guys around the city."

Kaminari: "I won't take the spotlight from (Y/n)."

Kirishima: "Bros...?"

One by one everyone offered what they could bring to the table for the team. Now, I wasn't exactly a fan in choosing between people. I'd much rather do it myself. But after Present Mic spoke about the headband system, in which the Cavalry Battle will use, we decided having more people would be a better choice. 

So now all that was left was to pick the first person. But even with all this, I was left uncertain. It was as I struggled to pick that Bakugo looked out into the crowd, only for his eyes to eventually land on Kirishima, who currently had his head held low. Without me knowing, Bakugo was given a flashback to a time he and Kirishima shared during the USJ event.

--Flashback--

A sigh escaped Bakugo's lips as he turned back to look out the window where the ruined USJ could be seen in the distance.

Bakugo: [Sighs] "Each second that passes by, is a second where I could be making (Y/n) get a girlfriend. I mean, look around! There's a crisis, and it's the perfect opportunity for (Y/n) to save some random girl from trouble... Even if I have to push him to do it. I will make him get a girlfriend."

There was clear passion behind Bakugo's words as he lowered his head and clenched a fist. Meanwhile, to the side, Kirishima just tilted his head and scratched his neck as an awkward chuckle filled the air.

Kirishima: "Uh... Wow, dude..." [Nervously Chuckles] "You're really into setting (Y/n) up with a girl, huh?"

Bakugo: "Of course, I am. He's a guy. He needs a girl. I mean, we be boys. But sometimes there's some things the boys can't do together... Even with socks on."

Kirishima: "Uh, say what now--"

Bakugo: [Sighs] "Besides... (Y/n) deserves to be truly happy for once."

It was as those words finally registered into Kirishima's head that his previous thoughts were completely lost. Not because he didn't want to think of the topic, but because he was shocked by the sudden change in Bakugo's tone. One moment he was joking about, yet, right now, he had a sense of sincerity about him. And the look on his face showcased exactly that as Bakugo's gaze dropped to the ground.

Bakugo: "Ever since (Y/n) was young he'd been delt a hard hand in life. Whether it be one thing or the other. Everyone seemed to be out for (Y/n). Even I was at one point. But then one day he did something for me that no one else had done before, he gave me a second chance, he gave me true friendship when no one else did..."

Kirishima: "Bakugo, I had no idea--"

Before he could finish Bakugo's gaze suddenly rose. A determined look crossing his face instantly.

Bakugo: "I may be (Y/n)'s friend, and I always will be, but sometimes having a friend isn't enough. Sometimes you need someone closer. That's why... That's why I won't give up until (Y/n) has that someone. He will be happy. I'll make sure he has a girlfriend who loves and cares for him because he deserves it..."

At that moment more villains entered the room. Looks of pure cockiness was ever- present on their faces as they believed taking on mere kids would be easy. But when they saw the glare in Bakugo's eyes as he ignited his hand, they began to regret such actions. The words that followed did that even more so.

Bakugo: "...And I won't let any criminal, villain, or high school bully get in my way of making my friend happy. SO YOU HEAR ME YOU GOOD-FOR-NOTHING NERDS?! I'm gonna punch ya. I'm going to punch you so hard you're gonna wish you weren't the lucky one to crawl out of your old man's nutsack!"

It was unknown what happened after that point, as the sound of explosions and people crying for help was all that could be heard. Though one thing was known, Kirishima saw Bakugo in a different light from that day on. So much so he was more than willing to help his fellow student out. Something Bakugo turned to in surprise as a brief pause came to the fight. Kirishima only smirked back with eagerness.

Kirishima: "Thought you might need some help in taking these nerds out. After all, the sooner we beat them... The sooner you'll be able to hook (Y/n) up with a girl."

As the brief pause deepened, a grin was soon to find Bakugo's lips as he turned back to glare at the cowering villains.

Bakugo: "I appreciate this... Kirishima."

--Flashback Over--

Ever since that moment, Bakugo had always held Kirishima in a high regard. Even without anyone else noticing. That's why, after seeing all this denied bro talk, and the way he currently held his head down in defeat, he slowly reached out and tapped me on my shoulder. Without saying a word, he nudged his head in a random direction. Upon following it I saw he was signaling to Kirishima, who currently had his head held low as everyone else eagerly awaited to see who we picked.

(Y/n): [To Bakugo] "Kirishima?"

Bakugo: "Look. Can't tell you why. But the dude's a bro. Besides...I, like, don't want him to be crying if he doesn't get chosen."

(Y/n): "Oh..."

That last part was only added in so Bakugo didn't have to bring up the heartfelt reason as to why he vouched for Kirishima. Nevertheless, I simply went along with it.

(Y/n): "...Yo, Kirishima, wanna be apart of our group?"

Kirishima: "Huh? What? M-Me? You want me on your team?"

Bakugo: "Yeah! So what?!"

Kirishima: "Uh, n-no reason..." 

He silently turns to me with hopeful eyes. After a few seconds, I sighed. When I returned my gaze to him I offered a smile.

(Y/n): "We're bros, right? So...Bros have gotta be on a team together."

Kirishima: "Uh, uh--" [Smiles brightly] "R-Right. Bros!" [Smashes fists together] "I won't let you down, bros!"

Bakugo: "Yeah! YA BETTER NOT!"

Kirishima simply chuckled as he raced off to our side. Leaving Kaminari and Sero confused.

Sero: "Huh...I guess they really were bros."

Kaminari: "Yeah. I guess."

Bakugo: "Alright! Now that that's out of the one. One more person. So step up everyone and tell us--"

(Y/n): "Actually, Bakugo. I already have an idea for the next person."

Bakugo: "Huh? Who?"

It was as a groan of disappointment crushed through the sea of people that I turned to my left. There, in the distance, Iida could be seen standing there by himself. I didn't exactly respond to Bakugo, but I think he got the idea not long after.

[3rd Person POV]

It was as (Y/n) began to make his way over to Iida, that not far from their current location, Uraraka and Yaoyorozu could be seen standing with a defeated looks on their faces. The surprising thing was, they didn't exactly seem to register the fact the other was currently standing next to them. 

Yaoyorozu: "I can't believe Bakugo said I couldn't be on their team..."

Uraraka: "...And all because I'm a girl..."

Yaoyorozu: "...I mean, I understand wanting to do it with your friends..."

Uraraka: "...But aren't we friends..."

Yaoyorozu: "...Obviously not on the level they are, but still..."

Uraraka: "...And why didn't (Y/n) say anything...I thought he liked me..."

Yaoyorozu: "...I clearly don't mean 'like' like me...I don't know if he feels that way--" [Chuckles] "But it's not like he doesn't not like me..."

Uraraka: "...But still, you still if he liked me--"

Yaoyorozu/Uraraka: "He should just say something!--Huh?"

Without a second of hesitation, the pieces finally clicked into gear. Not a moment after, both Uraraka and Yaoyorozu finally took notice of the person standing next to them. Even as people passed around them looking for teammates, something neither girl currently had, both girls seemed far more focused on the person beside them. Though, despite not exactly speaking it forth, it became clear that the other had a funny feeling they knew what the other was talking about. Which brought off a kind of staredown between the duo. Yaoyorozu placing a hand on her hip, whilst Uraraka leaned her head slightly forward.

Yaoyorozu: "Hello, Uraraka."

Uraraka: "Yaoyorozu."

Yaoyorozu: "Trouble finding a partner?"

Uraraka: "Well, I mean, I tried being on (Y/n)'s team. But he wasn't taking girls apparently BAKUGO said."

Yaoyorozu: "Yes, I was there as well."

Uraraka: "Wait. You were there, weren't you?"

Yaoyorozu: "Yes. What is it to you?"

A long hum proceeded to fall from Uraraka's closed lips as she leaned forward and narrowed her gaze toward the taller girl.

Uraraka: "No reason exactly. Just wondering why a girl with such high marks would wish to be on a team with (Y/n)..."

Yaoyorozu: "(Y/n) gets high marks? What's your point?"

Uraraka: "...And Bakugo."

Yaoyorozu: "Oh. Yes. Right. Bakugo is also on the team. Um...Well...Well, why are you wanting to be on their team?"

Uraraka: "I'm friends with (Y/n) and Bakugo."

Yaoyorozu: "Are you sure? I mean, Bakugo didn't seem to allow his 'friend' to be a part of the team."

Uraraka: "Because he wants to do silly boys things with (Y/n) and he believes I'll ruin them because I'm a girl..."

Yaoyorozu: "And how do you know that?"

Uraraka: "He texted me that right after I walked away. He also reassured me just because I wasn't on their team that I still had a 'shot' with (Y/n)."

Yaoyorozu: "Yes. He texted me that as well. How odd..."

Uraraka: "...Yeah..."

Both: [Sighs] "...Why can't I just tell (Y/n) how I feel..."

It was when those exact words escaped the mouths of both girls in union that they stopped once more and turned to each other in shock. It was clear that despite everything they just said, they were not expecting to hear that the other girl liked (Y/n). At least, that's what the other presumed when first hearing the words. Something that was soon confirmed.

Yaoyorozu: "Wait. You like (Y/n)?"

Uraraka: "You like (Y/n)?"

Yaoyorozu: "Of course, I like (Y/n). I mean..." [Blushes] "He did help me with Kaito, and he is a rather sweet boy."

Uraraka: [Smiles Softly] "Yeah...He is sweet. And he's nice..."

Yaoyorozu: "...And funny..."

Uraraka: "...And caring..."

Yaoyorozu: "...And I suppose he has a rather nice body..."

Uraraka: [Blushes] "...Uh, y-yeah. I-I guess he does..."

Yaoyorozu: "I mean, it's not like I purposely looked or anything."

Uraraka: "Yeah. T-Totally."

Yaoyorozu: "I just happened to be looking in the same direction as his body."

Uraraka: "Exactly! It's not weird."

Yaoyorozu: "It's just perfectly normal!"

Uraraka: "Right?!"

The two hopeful looks, glad the other didn't think they were weird for liking certain things about (Y/n). It was at that exact moment that any splinter of distaste for the other was now gone. The two girls who, hadn't exactly bonded at this point, finally seemed to get along about something.

Yaoyorozu: [Leans in] "Also...I find it rather attractive at how he acts. I mean, I'm not normally into the bad boy type. But when I see (Y/n) listening to music in class, even though we're clearly not supposed to, I can't help but smile at it."

Uraraka: "I know, right?! And the way he walks around without a care during lunch. I mean, there's also the fact that he saved me during the entrance exam."

Yaoyorozu: "What? Lucky! I mean, (Y/n) saved me too. So I shouldn't be too disappointed."

Uraraka: "Yeah. Well, he did carry you right?"

Yaoyorozu: [Blushes and smiles] "...He did."

Uraraka: [Squeals] "See! That's lucky!" [Sighs and smiles] "You know...It's rather nice talking to someone about liking (Y/n)."

Yaoyorozu: "Yes. I totally agree. You know--" [Smirks] "It wasn't very fair that (Y/n) sat back silently when we asked to be on his team and Bakugo said no. Maybe we should team up and show him what we're capable of?"

Uraraka: "YES! TEAM GIRL POWER, GO!"

Yaoyorozu: "Wonderful! I'll contact Mother to prepare some tea."

Uraraka: "Your Mom's here? With...Tea?"

Yaoyorozu: [Blushes Nervously] "She claims it helps before an event."

Uraraka: "Oh...Okay?"

And so with that the two unlikely friends proceeded to walk off to where Yaoyorozu's Mother was with the tea. As they did so, in the background, (Y/n) could be seen talking to Iida. In the process of explaining to him the plan he had in mind to win the cavalry battle.

[Your POV]

(Y/n): [Smiles] "So, yeah, that's pretty much it. I know you and Bakugo don't really 'get' along. But I feel with you, me, him and Kirishima, we'll have a good chance of winning."

Iida: [Chuckles Lightly] "I think any team with you on it has a good chance of winning, (Y/n)..."

I'm not so sure about that, but still, it was nice to have a compliment.

(Y/n): "So, yeah, what do you say? Wanna put up with Bakugo for a while to help us win this thing?"

I don't exactly know what I was expecting when I first asked Iida to join my team. I guess, I wasn't expecting anything. I think I just presumed he would be on it in the first place when I found out we needed teams for this thing. So as the seconds built up, I guess I was expecting him to look at me with a smile and tell me he was in. But when he didn't lift his head, nor smile. I grew worried. It was a strange feeling I felt. The first since joining U.A.. Ever since I arrived here, people always seemed to be around me. Wanting in on whatever it was I was doing or a part of.

So when Iida didn't exactly jump to the opportunity straight away, it was an odd feeling. Something I had felt all my life outside of U.A., had now become a foreign feeling...And that was being denied. Then again, I guess Iida isn't really the first person at U.A. to be like that. If not including Kaito, then Todoroki would easily take up that spot. Still...After feeling like I had become close enough friends to Iida ever since he told me about his brother, it was rather shocking when he lifted his head finally to offer me an emotionless stare.

Iida: "I appreciate the fact you asked me to be on your team, (Y/n), I really do...But I'm afraid I have to decline."

(Y/n): "Oh..."

Iida: "Ever since the entrance exam, I just seem to keep losing to you. When I along with everyone else ran away from the giant faux villain, you stayed to face it. When the villains attacked USJ, I ran away, whilst you stayed to fight them. Do not get me wrong, you are a wonderful friend, but that's why, if I just keep running away, I won't be able to become the hero my brother would want of me..."

A flick of his glasses brought the shine of the light down on the reflective surface, blocking my eyes from connecting with his own. By the time he looked at me next, a serious expression lead his face forward.

Iida: "Kaito and Todoroki aren't the only ones who see you as a rival." [Turns around and walks away] "So I will challenge you..."

In complete silence, my eyes followed as Iida turned around and began walking away. It was when I did that, I saw just whose team he had joined. Not far behind, Todoroki, Kaminari, and Kaito could be seen standing there. The team Iida had decided to join was decided. I'll admit, it was a little shocking to see someone I consider a friend go onto a team where two out of the three people didn't see me in the best of light. 

One of them outright going to limits to try and kill me at one point. Once he reached the group, the four of them turned back to me with silent expressions on their faces. But inside of shrinking away. Or cowering at the feeling my friend didn't want to be on the same team as me...I merely grinned. Full force, in the direction of the group who faced me. As I did so, my own team joined my side.

(Y/n): "Hey, Iida...You said you were going to challenge me, right? Well, I expect you to try a hell of a lot harder than going onto a team I've already beaten. Because I'm not going to go easy on you. Any of you."

I was sure to make certain I looked at each person on the team opposite me. Not backing down in fear once. It was at this point that Bakugo and Kirishima spoke out.

Bakugo: "Yeah, ya extras! All you are gonna get crush by our awesome team!"

Kirishima: "Y-Yeah! Bros before...N-Not bros...?"

Bakugo: [Sighs and mutters] "Dang it, Kirishima..."

Kirishima: "Huh?"

Bakugo didn't reply this time around. Instead, he and I simply turned around and walked away, Kirishima following after us. It was as we did that, we left this team of rouges to themselves. It must have been quite the exit going off the faint words of Kaminari I overheard before leaving.

Kaminari: "Man, even his exiting lines are cool." [Sighs] "I'm never going to get a girlfriend at this place."

Kaito: "Grr! Stupid, Deku. I'll be sure to crush him this time."

Iida and Todoroki remained silent, or, I couldn't hear anything they said. Eventually, my group got away far enough that we were left to our own thoughts. As we did, I happened to glance around at the other teams beginning to form. All turned their eyes toward us. It was clear, because of me, that we were the number one targets. But I didn't care. After all, I've been the number one target for something my entire life. This wasn't any different. At the end of the day, we're all here for ourselves. So I'm not really surprised that people are looking out to get me.

Bakugo: "YEAH! WE SEE YOU, NERDS! STOP LOOKIN' AT US!!"

(Y/n): [Chuckles] "Relax, dude. They're just looking to win. Like us."

Bakugo: "Pfft. As if they could beat us."

Kirishima: "H-Ha. Totally, bros. Hey, quick question though...Where are we going to get another person to join our team now?"

Bakugo: "Huh? Who said we need someone else?"

Kirishima: "Oh...Well...I was just thinking that--"

(Y/n): "Actually. I already have an idea for who we could get."

Bakugo: "Really? Who?"

I didn't respond. Simply, I turned to Bakugo and smiled. All before we walked off to get our final team member. It wasn't long until I spotted him.

(Y/n): "Hey, I see you don't have a team. Wanna join mine?"

The person I was talking to was none other than Tokoyami. The dark, mysterious figure of Class 1-A was quick to turn around as I spoke his name. Though, his response was a little odd.

Tokoyami: "Hello, my fellow brother in darkness. I've been waiting for you."

(Y/n): "...Oh...Um...O-Okay?"

Yeah...Was about as weird of a conversation as I expected. Nevertheless, it didn't take much more to get Tokoyami to agree to join my team. Now, with the group consisting of myself, Bakugo, Kirishima, and Tokoyami, we were prepared for whatever came our way. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for Yaoyorozu and Uraraka, who seemed to be searching for more teammates themselves.

[3rd Person POV]

Uraraka: "What are we going to do? Everyone else seems to already have a team? There's no way we can show (Y/n)--I mean win, with just the both of us."

Yaoyorozu: "Whilst I agree. Surely there is someone else that can join us?"

As they said that, the pair put their eyes to searching for another member. But everyone they saw seemed to already be on a team. Well, Hagakure seemed to be standing alone, but--

Uraraka: "Definitely not her."

Yaoyorozu: "Agreed."

T-They didn't exactly consider her. But it was as they kept up their search that a pair of legs, seeming to be moving on the ground without walking, could be seen quickly moving in on the pair. Out of nowhere, Yaoyorozu and Uraraka turned their heads to suddenly be brought to life when a bubbly girl with pink hair and worker goggles could be seen standing inches away from them.

(???): "As I thought. This is great! You two stand out!"

Uraraka: "H-Huh?"

Yaoyorozu: "Um...H-Hell--"

(???): [Jumps forward] "Team up with me, girls who don't have any other partners!"

Uraraka: [Pounces] "AH! WHO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU SO CLOSE?"

Stepping back the girl with pink hair proceeded to remove her goggles, as she did, Yaoyorozu and Uraraka got a better look at her appearance. Whilst she wore the standard U.A. Physical Training uniform, she also wore a leather vest with mechanical pieces all over it. Including a headpiece which her goggles were attached to, leaving a steampunk-like vibe to the girl. Though both Uraraka and Yaoyorozu had to admit, when the girl pulled her glasses back, she was rather pretty.

(???): "I'm Mei Hatsume, from the support course!"

Turns out Mei was one of the people who got through the wired rope obstacle back in the first game rather quickly. Due to her support items, she was able to jump so high in the air she was practically able to zoom through the race fairly quickly for someone without a Quirk.

Mei: "I don't know you both. But let me use your position as students in the hero course!"

Yaoyorozu: "Oh...Y-You're rather honest, aren't you?"

Mei: "Leans toward Uraraka] "I'm sure if I team up with, I'll be in a team that at least a few people will be watching. I tried getting in the team with the boy who won the race. But his friend told me to come back later in a dress for dinner. I don't exactly know what that means though."

As soon as they heard that, both girls immediately silently started stress giggling. They weren't very surprised Bakugo said that. Even so, they were still hesitant on accepting this very...odd girl into their team. However, all it took was a single glance over to Hagakure, who had now somehow gathered a rather strong team within minutes. That was all it took for Uraraka and Yaoyorozu to sigh in defeat and reluctantly agree to have Mei join their team. So with that more and more teams were being formed. But for (Y/n) and his group, enemies weren't just on the forefront. But hidden in a direction they weren't even looking.

"Almost everyone here has their eyes on Class A. Especially the golden boy. Why is that?"

An unknown voice said, before them, a group of Class B students could be seen. People such as the girl with vines for her hair, a guy with a slightly extended face that revealed his sharp teeth, another boy with grey hair and what appeared to be torn pieces of fabric around his eyes, and finally another male student with a bandana around their head. All look toward the person talking to them.

"And as Tetsutetsu said, Class A is full of themselves about it...It's strange, isn't it? The only difference between them and us is that they fought villains. Why were those of us being in Class B happy to be in the middle of the pack? Let's let that arrogant Class A know, guys..."

The person talking was revealed to be a boy from Class B with blonde hair and a gentle smile. However, it wouldn't take a guy with sight to tell something was off about him. Nevertheless, the plan of this student were left unknown. As everyone was soon forced to gather in the centre of the field as the voice of Midnight crept over the speakers. The aforementioned teacher could currently be seen stretching her slender body on the stage for all to see. Though she did such an act for only one person in particular.

Midnight: "Now then, it's about time to get started! After spending fifteen minutes taking your time to form teams and make strategies, you should all be ready for the next game. Though remember, even if you lose...I'm sure there are ways we can make up for it~"

With a lick of her lips, Midnight didn't hesitate to send her gaze toward (Y/n). The young boy, however, could simply be seen looking elsewhere bored to death. The sound of music coming from his ears as he lazily waited for the game to begin. Much to the annoyance of Bakugo and...Pleasure of Midnight?

Midnight: "Ah~ Why does he keep ignoring me--" [Coughs and speaks up] "A-Anyway, raise up those battle cries! Put on those headbands! And get ready...U.A.'s bloody battle is about to begin!"

Here it was...The time for it all to happen...The twelve teams formed from those who made it onto the next round could be seen in various positions. The one thing they shared was that two or more people carried one person off the ground. This most of the time being the person with the strongest qualities to help their team win. In the end, this is how it will work... Each student is given a point value and a team's value depending on where their members finished in preliminaries. 

The forty-second place finish is worth five points, with five points added to the point value with each cascading place. The first place finisher, however, is worth ten million points. Individual point values are added together to reach each team's total. These point values are displayed via headbands. The goal of the game is to steal headbands in order to raise the team's score. Contestants are not allowed to make each other fall on purpose. Even if a team loses their headband or falls down, they can compete until the thirty-minute time limit is up. 

Amongst the groups, (Y/n)'s could be seen. The aforementioned male carrying a serious expression on his face as he tied the white headband with the number 10 Million printed on it, to his head. Below him, the strength of Kirishima and Bakugo held him up from behind. Meanwhile, in the front, Tokoyami, and his dark shadow, held the front for defensive purposes. As the countdown to the cavalry battle came underway, (Y/n) looked around the teams before him.

[Your POV]

Just like me everyone else is here to show people what they've got. But now is my time to show everyone what I'VE got. No more blaming my defeats on my youth, this is the only thing that matters. Even if this will feel like fighting gravity itself, I'm not going to let myself be an easy target. But if they expect me to lose, they better give me one good reason why I should. I didn't go away to some college for higher education like some. I came here to show the world, and myself, that the pathetic regrets I had in the past was enough of me wasting time. And sure, I may still have no future after all is said and done. But I know more than a lot will ever know when it comes to pain and suffering. Compared to that, this cavalry battle is nothing. As Bakugo said it earlier, when alls said and done, we won't be able to rest. We won't stop until we win. Putting it simple...

"...We'll be Up All Night."

[BOOM! Chapter done! Now, I'm sure some of you were perhaps expecting the second event in this chapter. But I decided against it mainly because I feel like the events are so focused on action that it can leave not much else for the story. And with the race being in the last chapter, I feel this was a fun chapter to kinda relax, laugh, and get us ready for the conflict that comes in the next chapter! Because trust me, it's gonna get hectic and badass. But you guys have best bro Bakubro, Wannabe Bro Kirishima, and according to Tokoyami, your brother in darkness along for the ride. SO WHAT'S THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN?! I SURE AS ANYTHING DON'T KNOW...Not until next week anyway. BUT IF YOU WANNA KNOW! BE SURE TO CHECK OUT NEXT WEEKS CHAPTER FOR ANOTHER ACTION PACKED CHAPTER...of Anti-Hero~]
