Only seconds separated first and second place, Kourin and Midoriya. Her heterochromatic eyes met with his green ones, this would be the one and only time she'd be willing to lose. "Izuk—" She was cut off when the green haired boy tackled her into a hug, his arms slithering around her waist and his grip around her tightened.

"Koucchan, why did you do that?" He uttered out, not looking in her eyes as he buried his head in the crook of neck where he noticed faint purple bruises.

"It's because daisuki, Izu," she mumbled, rubbing his back soothingly. "And you deserve it." Since her back was turned to the finish line, she was completely oblivious to the fact that both Bakugo and Todoroki came running in, claiming third and fourth place. Once they saw the brunette in his arms they both shot him cold glares, prompting him to part from her.

"A— anyways, thank you again, Koucchan, and daisuki," he gave her a warm smile.

"And now, they're finishing one after another! We'll make a list of the results later, but for now good work!"

Kourin placed a hand on his cheek and gave it a pinch. "I'm going to see how Bakugo's feeling and I hear Uraraka coming, good luck. Try not to get too flustered," she teased and walked away. Even from a distance, she could tell the ash blond was fuming, which only made her hesitate walking over to him.

"Oi, shitty weird eyes, where the fuck are you going?!" He called out to her, his brows furrowed. "C'mere here, idiot." Once she was within reach, his arms wrapped around her body, burying his face into his shoulder. He was annoyed, annoyed that he was beaten, again. Right now, this was the only thing that calmed him down. Her. Her scent, her warmth. She calmed him down.

She ruffled his hair, "there there." Her bicoloured hues landed on Yaoyorozu who'd run in with her shirt open and Mineta clinging onto her back with his quirk. This irked her and so parting from Bakugo, she practically slapped the male from her back. "What're you doing to Yaomomo, you pervert?"

"Eep!" Mineta scurried away from her, "I'm sorry!"

"And so, the first game of the first year stage is finally over." Midnight smiled sultrily and motioned to the screen. "Now, take a look at the results!"

And so on. There were more than a hundred students participating, but only forty two proceeded forward to the next round. "The top forty two made it through to the next round. It's unfortunate but, don't worry even if you didn't make it! We've prepared other chances for you to shine. The real competition begins next! The press cavalry'll be all over it! Give it your all!" Midnight waved her whip at the screen and again, it began going through the possible challenges before it finally landed on one. "Now then, here is the second game! I already know what it is but what could it be? What could it be? I just said it, and now here it is!" She pointed to the screen.

"A cavalry battle?" Kaminari's face paled, "I'm bad at those."

Anyone with me is guaranteed to win, but who? Her heterochromatic eyes gazed at the competitors around her, wondering who to team up with.

"The participants can form teams of two to four people as they wish. It's basically the same as a regular calvary battle, but the one ting that's different is based on the results of the last game, each person has been assigned a point value!" Midnight told them, her blue hues landed on her best friend's daughter, which only made her lick her lips. Let's see how your daughter fares, huh, Emi? Her whip made contact with the floor when the students began mumbling to themselves, "you guys don't hold back even though I'm talking, huh?! Yes, that's right! And the points assigned go up by five starting from the bottom. In other words, forty second place gets five points and forty first gets ten points, and so on! And the point value assigned to first place is ten million!"

Almost instantly, everyone turned to the frightened green haired boy. Kourin covered her mouth to stifle the giggles that came from her lips. My, my poor Izu...

"That's right. It's survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top!" Midnight's lips curved up into an amused smile.

"Now, then, I will explain the rules of the cavalry battle," she turned to face the screen. "The time limit is fifteen minutes. Each team is worth the total of its members' points, and the riders will wear a headband with that number on their foreheads. Teams will try to grab each other's headbands until time runs out and try to keep as many points as they can. Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck up. So, the more you steal, the hard it'll be to manage them! And the most important thing is that even if your headbands gets stolen or if your team falls, you're not out! During the game, it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your quirks. But it is still a cavalry battle. You'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose! You'll be removed immediately! Now, you have fifteen minutes to build your teams. Start!"

Kourin noticed that Todoroki and Bakugo were immediately crowded by those wanting to form a team with them. There were, of course, people wanting to team up with her but she walked away from them, she flinched when someone tapped her shoulder. A sigh of relief escaped her lips when she came face to face with the boy she'd run into when she went to the supermarket. "Toshi.."

"Do you want to join my team..?" He asked hesitantly, it was a genuine question and if she declined he could easily find someone else to brainwash, but he wasn't going to use his quirk on her.

"Sounds fun. It'll be an easy win for you, blue floofy," she placed a hand atop his head and tangled her fingers in his locks. Looking behind him, she noticed that he'd already gotten Ojiro and Shoda from Class 1-B. "You've already used your quirk? Interesting. I doubt that they'll be much help, but you can just direct them."

It still astonished him how nonchalant she was about his quirk. "You should be the rider," he proposed, rubbing the back of his neck.

"We should stay under the radar for as long as we can, we don't have to go near the other teams to much I can just take their headbands off using the wind." Kourin told him, a small smile gracing her lips. "I'll make sure my team's goes unharmed."

"Yeah.." Shinsou looked away, averting her gaze as a light pink blush appeared on his cheeks. He had a good team, at least there was another person, besides him, that was conscious.

Her heterochromatic eyes landed on the isolated Midoriya, it seemed like he was having trouble on finding teammates and she couldn't help but feel sorry for her best friend. I'm sorry Izu, maybe next time.. When Uraraka approached him, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to face her team, well the only person aware what was going on. "Do you have anything else to add, Toshi?"

He shook his head, "your plan sounds good, but, we won't be going for the ten million. It's too much attention."

"That's true, but anyone else is fair game." Kourin agreed.

"After fifteen minutes to form teams and talk strategy, twelve calvary teams are lined up on the field! Now, raise those battle cries! It's time for U.A.'s bloody battle! Light the signal fire!"

Kourin tied the headband that had the numbers four, nine and five written in red, around her head as she placed a hand atop Shinsou's head. "I won't let you down."

"Counting down to the brutal battle royal! Three! Two! One! Start!"

Everyone, aside from a few, went straight for the ten million. Succeeding with the plan, their team stayed under the radar for a good seven minutes but they hadn't accumulated any points yet so they remained at their feeble original score. Once Present Mic announced that her class wasn't doing too well, it only made the brunette more fired up. It was easy to acquire points, all she had to do was click her finger or wave her hand and their headbands came off and flew into her hands. Kourin wrapped Team Tetsutetsu's six hundred and eighty five points around her neck before her heterochromatic hues landed on the Shoji, who had Asui and Mineta hidden in his back. "We're going after them. It'll be easier if you use your quirk this time though. Ask him something about Midnight."

Shinsou did as she instructed and led their team towards the trio. When the brunette called his name out, the purple haired boy stuck his head out of Shoji's back, wandering where they were. "What do you think of Midnight's costume?"

As he thought about it, his mouth began to drool "It's ho—"

"Give us your points. Now," he ordered.

Mineta slipped the headband off and held it out to them, unfortunately, Asui had realised what was happening and moved to stop him. Before she could grab the headband, Kourin used the wind to float it over to her. "I'm sorry about this, Mezo, Mineta, Tsuyu," she pointed her fingers to his feet and almost instantly, they were incased in ice. "You can get out of it, but, you'll tear the flesh of your feet off."

She's powerful. Shinsou noted as they secluded themselves from the other teams. "We should probably think of defending out points now. We have an extra four hundred and five points, we're securely in second place at one thousand, five hundred and eighty five."

Kourin nodded in agreement and held her hands out, encasing their team in a ring of fire, that way, no one would be able to get through, unless they were ballsy enough. She only knew of one person ballsy enough to do so, but the brunette noticed the he was more preoccupied with someone else. "It's a little hot, but bare with it for a little longer." From within the ring of fire, she watched in awe as her best friend went after the blond boy from the neighbouring class. Amazing.. You're really something else Katsuki.

Ashido's eyes flashed to the screen and her lips curved up into a wide grin. "Look! Koucchan's team is in second place!" When her yellow hues landed on the ring of fire that encased them, she gulped.

"Micchan, how could you...?" She feigned shock, placing a hand on her chest. Briefly, her attention flashed to the other side of the stadium where Todoroki, Midoriya and half the other teams were. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't worried for her green bean, everyone was after him.

"Forget about them! We're going after Deku and his ten million!" Bakugo growled out and directed his team towards the mound of ice. He'd managed to break through the ice and using his explosions to propel him upwards, he lunged for the two teams.

"Time's up! That's the end of the second round, the cavalry battle!"

Landing flat on his face, the winning team let out a breath of relief. Knowing that they were safe, the ring of fire around them disappeared as she jumped off her teammates' shoulder. "That was pretty fun, right, Hitoshi?" It was, but he wouldn't tell her.

"Now, let's take a look at the top four teams right away! In first place, Team Todoroki! In second place, Team Testute— huh?! It's Team Yagami! In third place, Team Bakugo. In fourth place, Team Midoriya!"

"Thanks for all your help." Shinsou said to Ojiro and Shoda, who'd snapped out of their daze and was looking at the crowd and their surroundings in confusion. "I couldn't have done it without you, thank you, really."

"It was a team effort," she shook her head and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You'll be an amazing hero, Toshi. Keep striving for your dream, I'll be behind you, okay? I'll catch up with you soon, okay?"

His purple hues stayed on her figure, watching as her petite body was enveloped by a green haired boy. A pang of jealousy ran through him, deciding he couldn't stomach anymore, he turned away and exited the stadium with the rest of the students. What's this feeling?
