A little to the side, Ayano saw that Shoji was charging towards both Izuku and Todorki, who seemed to be facing off, but after looking towards them for a minute, she noticed that many other teams were going after him.

"Hey, let's get in on the fun too!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed, and Ayano nodded, turning towards Izuku and Todoroki along with the rest of her group. As she got closer, she saw that Kaminari was shooting his lightning, and Ayano watched as it headed straight for their team, along with all the others around them.

In a slight panic, she activated her quirk, a short wall barely a foot off the ground was raised in front of them, shattering right as the electricity hit it. She winched slightly, the side of her nose burning as she assumed her skin froze a tiny bit more, she might have to adjust her bandages later. Around her, she saw that all the other groups had been shocked by Kaminari's quirk.

"Good thinking, Hyida!" Juzo shouted, and Ayano grinned.

"I guess it's good having a Class A on our team." Tetsutetsu said, looking down at Ayano. "You do know all your buddies quirks, so you'll be able to help us out more than I thought!"

"Glad that's the case!" Ayano said, then she placed her focus back to in front of her. Though just as she was about to move, she felt that her feet were stuck.

Looking down, she noticed that her group was stuck in ice, along with many of the other groups around them.

"What? What'd he do?" Present Mic announced, "Todoroki took care of the crowds of teams in an instant!"

"He froze them after Kaminari's shock stopped them..." Aizawa informed. "I guess it should be expected. He took into account how a lot of people avoided it in the obstacle course."

Ayano was working on unsticking her feet, along with the other groups around her, but she couldn't help but also watch the fight between Izuku and Todoroki, they seemed as if they were almost evenly matched, but Todoroki was easily catching up to Izuku.

"Team Midoriya has nowhere left to go!" Present Mic exclaimed, and Ayano realized that Izuku was now at the edge of the field. He had been cornered, but her view was soon gone as a giant ice wall appeared behind Todorki's group. With a sigh, she started to focus on getting her feet free again.

It didn't take long for her group to get free, and soon, they were running over the field again, away from the ice.

"Let's avoid over there, I personally don't want to get involved in that feud over there." She motioned towards the fight now going against Bakugo and a kid from class B, there already seemed to be enough people over there from what Ayano was seeing. "Let's focus on some other groups alright?"

The rest of the group nodded, and started to run towards other groups.

"One minute left!" Present Mic shouted. "Todoroki made it so he'll have the ten million to himself to seize in an instant! At least, that's what I though five minutes ago! But unbelievably, Midoriya's been able to keep away in that cramped space for five minutes!"

Good for him Ayano thought, but she didn't focus much on that, instead she focused on anyone who might be coming in on her side

"What? So fast, so fast!" Present Mic shouted, and Ayano assumed Iida just did something, since he was the only person who Ayano knew had a speed based quirk. "Iida, if you could accelerate that fast, then show us in the prelims!" With the crowd cheering, Ayano assumed something big happened. "The tables are turned! Offense and defense right at the edge! Reining that in, Todorki gets the ten million!"

So is Izuku at zero now? Ayano thought to herself, his team had spent pretty much the whole game running away, and she only saw the one headband on his head when she last saw him, a second later, Ayano's question was answered.

"And Midoriya is suddenly left with zero points!"

Ayano pressed her foot out, and froze the ground again watching the group that was advancing on her side start to slip, she reached for the headband that the rider had, but she managed to pull back just in time, and her hand just surrounded air.

"Todoroki currently has four headbands!" Present Mic shouted, and Ayano glanced up at the screen, suprsed at the amount of points that he now had. 10,001,175 points. Her own group on the other hand looked like it had barely any, even if they were in third place. Even so, she would still hopefully be going onto the next round, since her group was in third place with 1,125 points.

"With less than a minute left," Present Mic said, "He's wrested away the top spot from Midoriya, who was running away like crazy! Will these be the top four teams to move on to the next round?"

"Third place. We're doing quite well for ourselves." Yosetsu said, looking at the score board.

"Not too shabby!" Ayano said, then her eyes slightly widened as she saw Bakugo's group more up, now having 695, and her group was now moved to second place.

"Team Bakugo seizes two headbands to move to third place!" Present Mic exclaimed.

"And moving us to second. Aw yeah!" Tetsutetsu shouted, grinning.

"The ranks keep changing in the final stages!" Present Mic said, "It's the passion of youth!"

Ayano just smirked, running along with her group. This game should be ending soon, if it really were less than a minute left. A ways away, Bakugo was making his way towards the boy who was provoking him earlier.

"Bakugo is merciless!" Present Mic shouted, causing the crowd to cheer loudly. "If he's gonna do it, He's gonna pull through! He's, you know, a perfectionist!"

"More like he's obsessed with winning." She muttered, looking up at the scoreboard. Her team was now knocked back into third place again with Bakugo pulling ahead of them. Though third place still worked for her, they would still be moving on.

"Now, there are only seconds left!" Present Mic shouted. A couple seconds later, Ayno heard the crowd cheer louder, "With only eleven seconds left, there's an angry retrieval here, too!"

Ayano glanced up at the scoreboard, seeing that Team Midoriya now had 70 points. It wasn't enough to get through to the next round though.

"Oh no! Team Midoriya didn't retrieve the ten million points!" Present Mic announced. "Time's just about up! Start the countdown!"

Ayano looked towards Midnight, seeing that the screen that showed the games was now counting down from ten.

"We just have to hold our place for ten seconds!" Yosetsu exclaimed.

"Yeah, everyone, be alert!" Ayano instructed, and they all nodded, focusing on their surroundings.

Counting down in her head, Ayano felt excitement rise. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...

"Times up!" Present Mic exclaimed, "That's the end of the second round, the cavalry battle!"

Tetsutetsu jumped off the groups shoulders, and Ayano stretched, and looked up at the scoreboard.

"Now, let's take a look at the top four teams right away!" Present Mic shouted. "In first place, Team Todoroki! Second place, Team Bakugo! In Third place Tetsute- Huh? What, it's Team Shinso?"

Ayano scratched the back of her head. How did that happen? She thought.

"When did you come from behind?" Present Mic asked.

Ayano looked at the scoreboard, feeling disappointed, "In fourth place, Team Midoriya!"

Ayano sighed, looking over at her group, who all seemed to be surrounded with a gloom.

"Now we'll take an hour's break for lunch before we start the afternoon festivities!" Present Mic announced, "See ya!"

"What happened?" Tetsutetsu asked. "Before we knew it we had zero points." He placed his hands on his head, "I can't accept this!" He shouted.

Ayano decided it would be for the best if she didn't say anything, and instead she placed her hand on her stomach, feeling her belly rumble. "I could really go for some food right now." She muttered.

Ayano walked up to where Uraraka and Iida were talking.

"Iida, I didn't know you had a special move like that! No fair!" Uraraka exlaimed.

"It has nothing to do with fairness!" Iida exclaimed.

"Everything is fair game in the Sports Festival." Ayano said, catching their attention.

"Miss Hyida!" Iida greeted, "I didn't see you during the battle, whose group were you in?"

Ayano pointed behind her, towards the group that was still sulking. "I was in Team Tetsutetsu." She said.

"Really? How was it?" Uraraka asked.

"It was good, we almost continued on. But congratulation on your part guys." She said. "You deserve it. I didn't see how fast you went Iida, but I heard it was amazing."

Iida smiled, "I wanted to do something that could compete with Midoriya."

"Understandable. It seems like you pulled it off easily. Though, talking about Deku, Where is that green haired boy anyways?" Ayano asked, looking away. Then she sighed, placing a hand on her stomach. "Well, he'll turn up eventually. I'm going to get some food." She started to walk away, her hand on her stomach as she sighed. Man am I hungry.
