The Cavalry Battle begins and many of the teams go straight for Izuku's headband. Team Tetsutetsu's Juzo Honenuki uses his Quirk to soften the ground beneath Team Midoriya, trapping them. Equipped with a jetpack and hover soles created by Mei, Team Midoriya is also to escape by flying into the air. Kyoka tries to use her Earphone Jacks to attack them while they're in the air, but Fumikage's Dark Shadow Quirk deflects it and F/n catches it with bare hands then gently tosses it away to avoid hurting Kyoka. Earning an amused and amazed look from both Uraraka and Mei.

F/n:"Here you go, Kyoka!"

F/n said after he tossed the earphone jack gently making Kyoka blush that she knew, F/n didn't want to hurt her.

Kyoka's Team wants to go after Izuku but notices their headband has been stolen by Neito, who comments on how it was too easy. Team Mineta rushes Team Midoriya. Izuku mistakes Shoji for being alone, but in fact, Tsuyu and Minoru are riding on his back, shielded from sight by his tentacles. They use both their Quirks to attack Team Midoriya, and one of Minoru's spheres sticks to their hover soles, trapping them on the ground. Team Tetsutetsu joins the fray, forcing F/n to use his Quirk and break the hover soles in order to escape back into the air. His team gains few seconds of breathing room, as Katsuki immediately pursues them by using his explosions to fly. Katsuki tries to blast them out of the air, but Fumikage's Dark Shadow blocks him. Katsuki begins to fall out of the air, but Hanta uses his tape to secure him. Midnight rules that since Katsuki didn't touch the ground, his maneuver was completely legal. 

F/n:"ILLEGAL!!!"

Katsuki:"WHATEVER JACKASS!"

The crowd cheers loudly and fans comment on the skills of Class 1-A, but Present Mic announces that other then Team Midoriya, no one in Class 1-A is currently placed in the top four. Team Monoma pursues Team Midoriya as Neito manages to grab F/n's forearm.

Present Mic:"Oh no! It looks like Neito had grabbed F/n's forearm! Therefore, allowing him to have his Quirk for 3 minutes!"

Neito:"So? About your Quirk? What does it do?"

He smirks as he tries to activate F/n's Quirk. But nothing came out. He staggers a little bit and tries again but couldn't.

Neito:"A-are you Quirkless?!"

F/n smiles as he knew, as his mother told him, his Quirk cannot be copied or taken.

F/n:"Nope, I'm just special!"

F/n's body glowed scarlet and pushes Team Midoriya away from them. But
Team Monoma manages to steal Katsuki's headband.

Neito explains that he and some of his classmates purposely lost the Obstacle Race in order to scout Class 1-A's Quirks. They remained in the top forty while Katsuki and their other rivals used their Quirk's freely. Neito comments that it was foolish on their part to obsess about the preliminary round and continues to taunt Katsuki.

Neito talks about how Katsuki is famous for involved Sludge Villain incident and calls him a victim. Absolutely livid, Katsuki decides to forgo his original plans and tells his team they're going to annihilate Class 1-B before going after Izuku's team. 

Izuku takes notice of Class 1-B's long-term strategy and believes that none of them will come after his team. He prepares to instruct his team to relax, but Team Todoroki confronts them. Shoto declares that he will take the ten million point headband. 

The Cavalry Battle continues, and somehow Team Mineta has lost their headband despite their strategy to remain hidden on Mezo's back. Foregoing defense, Mezo and his team charge at Team Midoriya, but they're not the only ones after the ten million point headband.

Thanks to Shoto's leadership, Team Todoroki is able to immobilize the other teams charging for Team Midoriya, and takes a few of their headbands. Aizawa comments that Shoto is adapting his strategy from the Obstacle Race, having used Denki's lightning before freezing his opponents this time.

"Shit..Hey Tokoyami? Is your friend alright?"

I asked as Team Todoroki makes their move against Team Midoriya. Although Tokoyami was able to defend against Denki's Quirk, he reminds us of his own Quirk's weakness. Apparently Tokoyami's Dark Shadow's attack power depends on the amount of light in the area, and if there was anymore at the moment, Denki could have completely destroyed Dark Shadow.

"So? He's basically powerless against light based attacks?"

Tokoyami:"Indeed."

Izuku:"T-This...is a problem.."

Meanwhile....

Neito provokes Katsuki into attacking him. Not only does Neito evade Katsuki's initial blast, he uses an explosion of his own to repel his Class 1-A rival.

When Katsuki tries to attack him again, Neito uses Eijiro's hardening power to defend himself. Katsuki realizes Neito's Quirk is the ability to copy other peoples powers. Katsuki tries to attack again, but his team is immobilized by Kojiro Brondo's Quirk.

As Team Monoma flees the area, Neito taunts Katsuki about the pledge before the Festival. Despite his undeniable rage and lack of points, Katsuki remains determined to come out on top.

 For the latter half of the games, Team Midoriya are able to keep away from Team Todoroki by keeping their distance and staying on Shoto's left side. In that position, Shoto is unable to freeze them without hitting lida. Shoto's father: Endeavor comments that Shoto is foolish for allowing Izuku to exploit his weakness.

"Whew...I think we're safe.."

With time running out, I saw Iida who  was about to use his special move: Recipro Burst to unleash a burst of super speed and in an instant. I jinxed. Shoto steals Izuku's AND my headband in the process.

"SHIT!!"

Iida's engines stall as a result, meaning he cannot move, but Shoto takes a moment to remind Izuku he would try his best to defeat his friend and of course, me.

Shoto:"I will always try my best to beat you Midoriya and you L/n..."

"Pff...don't make me laugh two face."

I smirked as I now thought of a plan to get back at least the two million points headband.

Tokoyami suggests the team try for other headbands, but Izuku refuses and Ochaco encourages them to try and get their points back. This reminds Izuku that he's not alone in this battle, and it's his responcibilty to reward his teamates trust.

Team Midoriya rushes Team Todoroki and Izuku decides to finally use One For All. Shoto senses Izuku's power and instinctively defends himself using the flames from his left arm.

"Now I get the kill.."

I swiftly used my other arm and activated my Quirk as it moved faster than the eye could see. Soon, I reassured myself that it was the two million points headband and swiped it off of Todoroki's neck.

"Gotcha..."

I tucked the band inside my hand and continued to carry him. It then hit me that Izuku also tried to get the headband with the ten million points but instead, he only got another person's points without noticing.

Back to Neito And Katsuki's Fight...

Neito plans to allow the clock to run out and boasts about his team's accomplishment, but Katsuki suddenly flies at them using an explosion. Kosei Tsubaraba stops Katsuki using his Solid Air Quirk, but the latter punches through it and snags two of Team Monoma's headbands. Other teams try to capitalize on Team Monoma, but Neito uses Kosei's Quirk to repel them. With only one headband remaining, Kosei states that the team is still in fourth and Neito agrees to settle for last place. However, his Class 1-A rival does the opposite of settle.

Unsatisfied, Katsuki strategically uses his teammates Quirk's to close the distance between the two teams. Kosei tries to stop him, but Katsuki blasts through the air shield and takes Neito's last headband. All Might is impressed that Katsuki understands a truth that no one needed to teach him: " that there is a difference between those who aim for the top and those who settle, and that difference matters".

Aizawa comments that although Class 1-B had a good strategy, they failed to take Katsuki's "overwhelming tenacity" into account.

Even after securing more then enough points to advance, Katsuki urges his team to go after Izuku and the ten million points. 

Team Midoriya and Team Todoroki, Izuku uses One For All to break Shoto's defense. This opening gives Izuku the chance to take a headband. Believing the ten million points is the top headband around Shoto's neck, he grabs it. His team celebrates too early however, and they realize Izuku took a headband only worth seventy points. Without enough points to move onto the next round, Team Midoriya makes one final attempt. Katsuki arrives on the scene, but time runs out just as everyone is about to clash.

"Good thing I got this.."

I murmured as Izuku looked like he saw an old lady get trampled by an eighteen-wheeler truck. With the Cavalry Battle over, Team Todoroki secures first place. I heard Tenya blames himself for the close call, but Momo reassures him their's team victory is all because of his special move.

Team Bakugo places second, but it isn't nearly good enough for Katsuki, who screams out of frustration. He's got some really bad issues. Somehow, Team Shinso mysteriously takes third place, knocking Team Tetsutetsu out of the games. Ouch.

Disappointed, Izuku tries to apologize to his team, but Fumikage reveals that thanks to Izuku's attack, Dark Shadow was able to take one of Team Todoroki's headbands. I coughed and opened up my hands to see a four hundred fifty points headband. I looked down in shame as i thought I had that in the bag.

"I'm a fucking idiot!!!! AHHHH!"

The headbands worth is enough to place Team Midoriya in fourth, allowing them to advance to the next round. Izuku cries tears of joy, while Shoto berates himself for using his left side as I saw his gloomy acts.

"WHYYY?!???"

Mei:"You did well baby!~"

Izuku:"Thanks for having our backs F/n!"

Ochaco:"Hands off my man!!"

Tokoyami:"I am grateful that you also thought of the same strategy.."

"T~T......why..?"
