Everyone was looking at Izuku who just stood his ground.

'A few months ago, this shit would have scared the shit out of me. But now I know that I have people I can trust,' thought Izuku as he didn't notice Shoto looking at him, not with the usual anger or glare, but with a slight look of fear.

'What if he was right? How did he know how my father is? Am I really becoming like him?'

"Okay, I ne-"

"DEKU KUN LETS TEAM UP!" said Ochako excitedly scaring the shit out of Izuku.

'HOW DID SHE SNEAK UP ON ME!'

"Y-yeah, Ochako, I was coming to find you anyways," said Izuku as Ochako cheered.

"But are you sure you want to team up with me? I mean I am going to be everyone's target," said Izuku as she nodded.

"Yeah, you're awesome Deku kun, I believe in you," said Ochako with a close-eyed smile as Izuku gripped his heart.

'AAAAAAAAH! TOO CUTE!'

"R-right, so I need..." trailed off Izuku as he searched the crowd.

"Yeah, let's go."

--------------------------------------------------------------

The cavalry battle was about to begin, and the teams were ready to give their all.

Shoto, Bakugo, and Izuku were right now in a fierce staring context, neither of the three blinking even once.

"NOW RAISE THE BATTLE CRIES! IT'S TIME FOR UA'S BLOODY BATTLE!"

'Oh it's gonna be a bloodbath alright,' thought Bakugo as he remembered what had happened the last time he and Izuku had fought. Half the building destroyed.

'I hope no one comes in between these three, they won't survive it,' thought Ochako with a sweatdrop.

"LET'S START!" 

And with that, Izuku's team took off. He was teamed up with Ichigo and Tokoyami, and currently, they were all floating.

---Flashback---

"Since you both have quirks which can shoot out really far, we will periodically become weightless and use your quirks to navigate. When we return to the ground to give Uraraka san a break, I'll keep the coast clear. This match is 15 minutes long, and the Air blasts nearly break my fingers, and it takes three minutes to heal. With a minute buffer, we'll return to the ground every 4 minutes to take a minute break. That means we'll return to the ground three times, once at 4 minutes, then at 9 minutes, and finally at 14 minutes. The last-minute is going to be intense, so we need to use our quirk to the fullest, so make sure you rest while in the air."

---End---

Izuku was looking around, searching for potential targets.

"TOKOYAMI THERE!" yelled Izuku as he saw a vulnerable team. Not wasting a second, Tokoyami's dark shadow went full speed grabbing a few headbands as Ichigo used his snakes as an Anchor for them so they didn't float away.

"WOULD YOU LOOK THAT THAT! THE TEAM AT THE TOP IS TAKING OTHER PEOPLE'S BANDS! WHAT IS GOING ON!" yelled Mic excitedly.

"They know they will be targeted, so they are making it clear who the Alphas are. They are showing their ruthlessness when it comes to dealing with competition," said Aizawa with a nearly proud smirk.

'3... 2... 1"

"LET GO OCHAKO!"

With that, they were back on the ground, in a place where there were few teams. However, this changed as multiple teams rushed at them.

"Let's do it," said Izuku as Ichigo nodded.

Ichigo planted his hand on the ground.

---Flashback---

"My snakes do only recreate themselves in chain three times only, but that changes inside the ground. Somehow, their length almost triples and they form long chains going almost 50 meters in combined length"

---End---

Ichigo's hands turned into snakes as seven snakes burst out of different points going after 4 teams scaring the shit out of them.

"AAAH!" they yelled as they ran backward.

"Now..." Izuku muttered as he aimed a blast, just for the purpose of causing chaos in the arena.

"GO!" he said with an 80% blast which didn't break his finger but did damage it a little. Also, cursed energy was mixed in it, mimicking the 100% blow.

This nearly destroyed the ground as the one-minute time was up and they were back in the air.

As for Bakugo, he was currently in a fierce match with a class B guy who also had blonde hair.

"I'LL KILL YOU BASTARD!" yelled Bakugo as he sent a big blast at them.

As for Shoto, he just froze whoever came in his way. 

'Midoriya... I don't know whether you are right or wrong. But until I figure it out, you're my only target.'

The second cycle was over and it was time to back down.

Once again, Izuku and Ichigo created pure chaos as Tokoyami took care of defenses, and by now everyone who saw them landing, instead of fighting them ran away.

"WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT! EVERYONE IS SCARED OF MIDORIYA'S TEAM!"

And then again, they took off in the air.

Many teams tried to steal their bands in the air like Jirou and Tsuyu, along with Bakugo who had tried to do so in the first cycle, only to be stopped by Tokoyami.

Finally, the last minute was here, and so was Shoto todoroki.

"I'll be taking that now," said Shoto as both teams stood facing each other.

"You won't be taking anything," said Izuku as he looked him straight in the eyes.

As this was going on, multiple teams were gaining on them, and Izuku was keeping a keen eye on them.

'My fingers are all good. I need to deal with them,' he thought, but before that, Shoto's team did that, taking their band and freezing them in their place.

As Tokoyami did his job, he explained that Kaminari's shocks were making Dark Shadow weak.

As for Izuku, he was just thinking about what they could do.

'Hmm... I could do that, but... I need perfect timing for it. Also, that's the last retort. Okay, for now, focus on the fingers,' thought Izuku as he got ready to blast Shoto's team away.

"30 SECONDS LEFT!" 

At that moment, Iida bent a little.

"Since there is so less time left, I'll do it. I'm counting on you all," he said as Izuku raised his eye.

'Okay... he has an ace up his sleeve. Plan change, I need to do that, and hope it works.'

"TORQUE OVER! RECIPRO BURST!" yelled Iida as in a flash they were on the other side, with the band on Izuku's head in their hand.

"MATCH OVER!"

Izuku gulped as he looked around his neck, and then smiled.

"Todoroki, check which band you have," Izuku said with a triumphant smirk.

"Huh? HOW?" Shoto yelled, confused as he saw a 100 point band.

---Flashback---

Izuku was on his bed thinking about the usage of cursed energy.

'When I used Black Flash, I could see my cursed energy. Could I... use it to directly affect my surroundings?'

He got up as he took a can and put it on a table.

'Alright... so far, I've been using the Cursed energy to enhance my punches. So... now shoot it out!' And with that, the can was sent flying away.

"YES!"

"WHAT HAPPENED IZUKU?"

"Nothing mom," yelled Izuku.

'Okay, so I Cursed energy is tangible and can be shot out like laser. I could maybe use my cursed energy to blast away stuff, and even move it.'

---End---

What Izuku did was simple. He had thought of this so he hid a 100 point beneath the 10 million band. As soon as he saw Iida coming, he used a ripple of cursed energy from his head to his torso, which caused the 10 million one to shift to his neck.

"AND THE WINNER IS TEAM MIDORIYA!"
