Izuku was called over by Midnight once he crossed the finish line.

  "Midoriya! There's going to be an hour break between now and the second event. Nezu's arranged some extra activities that anyone can participate in. Are you going to be joining the swordfighting?" She asked away from the microphone.

  Izuku nodded.

  The heroine gave him a thumbs up.

  "I'll let the rat know. I think he wants you to do a demonstration with your lightsaber or something."

  Izuku sighed, before nodding again.

  "I thought as much. I don't mind doing it, but I'd appreciate it if he asked beforehand." Izuku said.

  Midnight giggled, pressing her finger to her earpiece.

  "He's okay with showing off. Hey, Midoriya? Ectoplasm knows some basic swordplay, you alright with fighting his clones?"

_______

  "There will be an hour break until the first event! However, we've got a ton of mini activities for you to either watch, or take part in! The first place contestant, Izuku Midoriya, will also be giving a demonstration!" Present Mic said.

  Some of the students participated in the activities like hide and seek, an object hunt, and some kind of archery range but with slingshots.

  Izuku sat in the lotus position beside the wall of the arena. He breathed deeply in and out.

  He could regain any energy lost during the obstacle course like this, and he had almost an hour. He'd be fine.

  "And now, the last thing before the second event! Izuku Midoriya, Eijiro Kirishima and Momo Yayorozu, come up to the stage!"

  Izuku and his two classmates stepped up, where Midnight was waiting alongside Ectoplasm.

  "This will be a competition! Whoever can defeat the most Ectoplasm clones within the time limit wins!" Midnight said.

  Kirishima was handed a katana, and Yayorozu a steel quarterstaff. Izuku took the hilt from his sleeve.

  Midnight left the main stage, and Ectoplasm created 20 clones at once, all wielding the broadsword the original hero held.

  There was a low whoosh, and Izuku's lightsaber revealed it's white blade.

  "White's a new colour. Why'd you change it?" Kirishima asked with a toothy grin.

  "Took the core from the Sith Lord at the USJ. Used my quirk to fix it properly, so it wasn't red anymore." Izuku said.

  "Begin!" Midnight shouted.

  Izuku removed two sword's blades at the hilt, and cleaved those Ectoplasms in two. He twirled his saber, cleaving down another sword wielding clone. They became ectoplasm when he 'killed' them, splattering on the floor.

  The original Ectoplasm created more clones as the battle progressed. Kirishima engaged several clones in battle at once, using the powerful Fifth style Izuku had taught him.

  Yayorozu was doing well too. She knocked their blades away with her quarterstaff, then smacked them right between the eyes, turning them to sludge.

  Izuku grinned, deciding to turn it up. The shining white blur vanished entirely, the only thing revealing the lightsaber was present were the Ectoplasm clones turning to mush all around Izuku.

  Izuku jumped over a clone and cleaved him down the middle, spinning and destroying the sword held by another. He used the Force to push a clone away as he dealt with another, and threw a third into the air.

  Kirishima clashed against a clone's broadsword, twisting his neck to wedge the steel blade in place between his hardened head and his shoulder.

  Izuku took the clone's arm, letting Kirishima finish him off.

  "Thanks bro!"

  Izuku grinned, whirling the shining blade in a series of arcs, cutting down countless enemies in a single flowing movement.

  "And that's time!" Midnight said.

  Five minutes later, the scores had been counted.

  "The results are in! Yayorozu defeated 37 enemies! Kirishima defeated 42 enemies! Midoriya defeated 66 enemies! Midoriya is the winner of the event!" Midnight announced.

  Midnight was back on the stage, the wheel spinning behind her.

  "The second event will be a cavalry battle!!" She said.

  "In teams of two to four, you will compete for numbered headbands! The value of a headband is determined by the team's combined score from the obstacle course! 42nd place earned 5 points, 41st earned 10 and so on! The only difference is first place, which is worth ten million points!!" She continued.

  "You have ten minutes to form your teams!" She finished.

  Izuku looked around. Most people were forming teams already, and others were avoiding his gaze. He was approached by two people though.

  "Yo, midoribro! Can I join your team?" Kirishima asked.

  "If we three work together, victory is almost assured." Yayorozu said.

  Izuku smiled.

  "Sure. I've got a perfect plan."

___________________

  Izuku was the rider. Kirishima was the front horse, and Yayorozu was the back.

  "Don't worry about holding me up, my sense of balance is perfect, I can just stand on your shoulders." He told Kirishima.

  Kirishima nodded, holding his katana in two hands. Yayorozu stood to the side, wielding her quarterstaff in a similar position.

  "Begin!" Midnight called.

  Kirishima lunged towards the teams that charged them, cracking his blunt katana into their shins as he passed them. Yayorozu did the same, running around the human stacks and clacking them across the face with her quarterstaff.

  Izuku used the Force to direct Kirishima around their opponents, as well as pushing any airborne attacks away.

  "What a wierd formation team Midoriya has! Midoriya is balancing on Kirishima's shoulders, while Yayorozu runs around on her own!! It's a strange strategy, but it seems to be pretty effective!!" Present Mic said.

  Todoroki tried throwing ice at them, but Kirishima used his hardening to smash his way through, and Izuku's lightsaber melted the taller waves that came for them.

  Bakugo was thrown back time and time again by the Force, and every other team had decided to give up at this point.

  "There are only two minutes remaining!!" Present Mic eventually yelled.

  Bakugo got distracted by Monoma from class 1B, so team Todoroki was the only team still gunning for team Izuku.

  The icy boy sent out two waves of ice, separating the two teams from the rest of the arena.

  Izuku raised his hand, keeping the opposing team in place, unable to touch Izuku's headband.

  Iida strained against the Force, moving slowly towards Izuku.

  "10! 9! 8! 7! 6!" Present Mic cheered.

  Todoroki burst into flames, which Izuku just blew away.

  "5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Tiiimes up!!!!!!" Present Mic screeched.

  Yayorozu returned to Izuku and Kirishima, exchanging a high five with them both.

  "And we have our winners! Team Midoriya in first place, with the ten million point headband!!!"
