Before I start this Chapter, I want to Thank Heidi Steinmetz for making my cover art, check out her page here steinmetzdesign?fbclid=IwAR3SyX4wmsyELD9i5KhV-QeAKRsd8FrMJkzzaGyt3y2PXfr-2M35Wi1L7OU
Also, I want to thank you guys for reviewing, you are awesome. And to the user Kongking94. That sounds good and all but I'm declining cause I don't take fanfic requests. It has to come from my brain, not someone else's, and with so much detail, that's giving me little imagination to work with. Anyway to the chapter.
Chapter 6
The screen kept on spinning until it stopped at the Cavalry battle. "And there you have it, now allow me to explain. Participants will form teams of two to four people as they see fit. In theory, it is the same as a regular playground. But there is one difference, each player has been assigned a point value based on the results from the obstacle course." Midnight explained to the contestants.
"I see a point-based system, just like the entrance exam," Sato said as he got the idea.
"So that means each team will have a different point value based on which students are on it," Uraraka said aloud.
"Maybe you should shut up and let me finish!" Midnight yelled as she whipped the floor out of anger. "Now pay attention to the screen!" She pointed as a chart showed the names of the students and the points they have from lowest to highest. "The points go up by five, for example, the forty-second place is worth five points, then forty-first by ten and so on. The point value of the first place is ten million points!"
At this point, Broly saw that Izuku's face paled and the other students stared at him like he was a meal. 'So it will be a survival of the fittest. Much like what me and dad went through on Vampa.'
"Now form your teams and show us what plus ultra means!" Midnight whipped the air as she pointed to the students. "The rules are simple, the game will last fifteen minutes and the point values will be added together to know your team total. Everyone will know what you're worth thanks to your headbands, swipe as many headbands as to raise your team's score. Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck up, the more you steal the harder you manage them, and you can steal them back and if your team falls down, you can still play until time's up. You can still use your quirks as much as you like but there are still rules. Make a team fall on purpose and you will be disqualified! Now you have fifteen minutes making your team!"
Midnight and Broly stepped off the stage as the students started to make up the teams they wanted or needed. "So who do you think will win this round?" She asked him curious about his answer.
"Hmm. Not sure." Broly looked at the students. 'Izuku will have a hard time as he is going to be the main target. Who will be closest to winning, has to either go to Todoroki or Bakugo.' He noticed that a lot of the students are teaming up with those of their own classes. Making sense since you don't want someone you don't know and not knowing their quirks. 'Good luck to all of you.`` He thought to himself as he stood on the stage
Time was up and all the students made their teams. Twelve teams were made and were ready for the cavalry battle. "OKAY, I HOPE ALL OF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR TEAM, CAUSE LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED IN 3..2..1." Present Mic counted.
"Begin!" Midnight and Broly said simultaneously.
Almost all of the students started to attack and went after Izuku's team immediately. But luckily he had Hatsume, Uraraka, and Tokoyami on his team as he went on the defense. Hagakure's team and Tetsutetsu struck first. However, Izuku's team went into the air and took flight. Thanks to the combination of Uraraka quirk and to Hatsune's tech, they were able to stay in the air while Izuku was able to use One For All as he flicked his fingers to create an air blast that pushed many of them back.
"Oh no, they are getting away! After them!" Hagakure commanded.
"Wait, Hagakure, your headband," Sato told her as he noticed that her headband was not anyway around her invisible top.
"What!" She shouted as she was in a panic. "Who took it?!"
"Well, that was easy." Monoma spun it around his fingers and went for another team.
"The whole thing barely started and all of a sudden, it's basically a free for all," Broly observed as almost everyone was after Izuku's team. Something caught his eye as he noticed Shoji was charging alone. 'Isn't this whole game based on having a horse and a rider, but where is his rider.' As Izuku's team was ready to go into the air again, something was holding them down, something sticky and round. 'Wait that's Mineta's ball.' He looked to see that the grape haired boy was riding on Shoji. 'So Shoji is the horse while his dupa arms act like a shield protecting Mineta. Got to say, that is a good strategy.'
"Wait is that even allowed?" Izuku asked as he flicked air at the other teams.
"The judges say yes." Midnight allowed as the game continued.
From within a long tongue shot out inside Shoji's dupla shield.
"Aw man, you got Asui there too." Izuku was a bit shaken as he was held onto his headband.
"I told you to call me Tsu." She said as she whips her tongue once more as Mineta throws more of his sticky balls.
Izuku was in a tight spot as he dodged their attacks. Leaving not much choice, he took to the air as one of the hover boots pieces broke off.
"Don't think for a second that you're safe, I got you!" Bakugo yelled as he blasted in the air without his team as he reached for the headband.
"Tokoyami!"
"On it." He ordered Dark Shadow to block the attack. The crowd roared with excitement as the blast was blocked and Bakugo was received by Sero.
"INCREDIBLE! BAKUGO WAS SEPARATED FROM HIS FORCES, IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED?!" Present Mic asked as he spoke to the audience.
"He didn't touch on the ground, so it is legal," Broly answered.
Izuku's team landed as Uraraka had to keep the boot steady.
"SEVEN MINUTES HAVE PASSED AND MIDORIYA'S TEAM IS STILL IN THE LEAD! NOW LET'S SEE WHO IS STILL IN THE GAME!" The screen pulls out as to everyone's shock, a lot of teams' headbands were taken away and one team had most of them.
'Neito Monoma.' Broly stared at the copy user as he had that sinister smirk on his face as he continued to make headbands for many of the other teams, especially those in 1A. For some odd reason or another, he has a large grudge against class 1A. Whether it was from the USJ incident or just some self-centered pride, he hated the class.
The Saiyan noticed that a lot of the students were trying to steal other headbands while Izuku and Todoroki were now facing each other.
Todoroki ordered Iida, Momo, and Kaminari to make a strong offense as Momo made an electric proof blanket and a staff sticking out of her arm, as Kaminari used 1.3 million volts to shock everyone around them. Todoroki grabbed the staff and froze everyone in place. Iida uses the ice to speed around and take other headbands and tries to take the million. Only to be power flicked back.
"ONLY ONE MINUTE LEFT! WHO WILL MAKE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND!" Present Mic announced as he was just as excited as the crowd. Todoroki was trying to grab the one million point headband but was struggling as Izuku's flicks were pushing his team back.
"It's now or nothing," Iida said as he overloaded his engine legs as they were above Izuku.
"Your mine." Todoroki reached for his headband as it was on fire.
The Alarm rang as time was now up.
"WOW THAT WAS QUITE THE SHOW BUT IN the FIRST PLACE IS... TEAM MIDORIYA!" Present Mic announced as Izuku grabbed Todoroki's arm within a few inches. "IN SECOND PLACE IS TEAM TODOROKI! IN THIRD IS TEAM BAKUGO! AND IN FOURTH PLACE IS TEAM TEST- WAIT IT'S TEAM SHINSO! THESE FOUR TEAMS WILL ADVANCE TO THE FINALS!"
'Good work Izuku, you did really well on your own.' Broly thought as he got off the stage and headed to a breakroom. On the way, he noticed Todoroki looked angry and in shock as he looked at his left hand. Broly knew something was wrong but didn't know why. As he went to the vending machine and grabbed himself water he thought back to the way Todoroki looked. 'He looked at his hand like he didn't want to use it. From what I know is that his quirk is called half hot half cold, but he mostly uses his ice powers more. So why did he look surprised when he knew he had it?' Broly gulped down his water.
"Hey, Broly." Midnight approached him as she had her hands behind her back and looked embarrassed.
"What is it?" He asked as she looked down at the floor as her hands were still behind her back.
"Could you... put this on for a minute." She showed him a pair of black Neko ears.
"Huh?" He tilted his head as he looked confused. "Um... why?"
"I just want to see what they look like on you." She said not looking at him directly.
"Okay." Broly took them and put them on his head as the ears matched his hair. "Is this okay?"
She looked right at him and couldn't help but squeal. 'So cute!.' She took out her phone and took a picture. "Now, make your hands like a cat." She told him to do the gesture as he copied. "Perfect." She took another picture. 'I'm making these my new screensaver.' "You can take them off now."
Broly did and was not sure why she wanted him to put those ears on. "Anyway, want to go and get some lunch?"
"I would love to." Midnight she wrapped her arms around his own arm.
Broly was trying his best to hide his blush as they headed to a sushi outlet right outside the stadium. The Saiyan was having three bento boxes of California rolls, shrimp, salmon, trout and so many others that were so good that he picked them with his chopsticks and popped them in his mouth.
"You must have been very hungry to eat this much food." She picked up a shrimp roll and popped it in her mouth. "You might like this, it's a dragon roll." She picked up the roll with her chopsticks as Broly wolfed it down at ease.
"It's good." He said after swallowing it. "Not too sweet, and not too spicy."
"I'm glad." She smiles as they continue their meal. "So, who do you think is going to win the tournament?" She nudged him as he was eating a salmon roll.
Broly was a bit caught off guard at the question. He thought about it before giving his answer. "From what I saw, it will be someone from class 1A."
"You're hoping Midoriya wins, aren't you?" Midnight asked as his facial expression almost gave it away. "You know, even for a teacher's aid, it's not good to pick favorites." She told him as she waved chopsticks at his face. "It could spoil the student and make him work less than what he does. However, Izuku Midoriya is a good kid and very smart, so you chose wisely."
"If not him, my second choices will have to be Todoroki or Bakugo. Bakugo may have a lot of anger issues, but he is determined to win. As for Todoroki, he is also determined but it feels like something is bothering him."
"It must be because of his father." Midnight said as Broly looked at her in question. With a mindful sigh, she faced him fully. "You met him, Enji Todoroki, Endeavor."
With this news, Broly was surprised. He didn't put two and two together. Then he thought back to what he said. "I came to watch my son win the sports festival... After all, he has the potential to become number one." 'Todoroki is Endeavor's son...' He thought something didn't make sense. "If he is Endeavor's son, then why not use his heat attacks?"
"Good question. Not sure how to answer that but I can tell you what I do know." Midnight sat up straight from her seat. "Endeavors life is to one day surpass All Might one way or another, he trained his whole life yet he never came close. I heard that he went as far as arranging a quirk marriage."
"Quirk marriage?" Broly asked.
"It's like an arranged marriage between two people whether they like it or not." Midnight explains. "Apparently, it wasn't a happy one, at least for his wife. I'm not sure what happened but I do know that out of all four of the children, only the youngest, Shoto, is the only one attending the hero's course."
Broly gritted his teeth as he got the idea. It reminded him of his father, Paragus. Wanting his son to one day kill the Vegeta family. Endeavor made his son so he can surpass All Might. the Saiyan got up from his chair but was pushed back down.
"Don't. Broly, if you attack him, they will take away your hero license and be going straight to jail." She warned him.
"Then what am I supposed to do!?" Broly yelled as people looked at their table as the Rated R hero waved everyone away and looked at him, hands covering his.
"Broly look at me." She looked at him straight in the eyes. "If you attack him directly and out of nowhere, you're going to be made the bad guy and I don't want to see them dragging you to Tartarus. Prove you're better than him, he may be number two for now, but now forever."
Broly knew what she was getting at and nodded his head and he got up slowly. "We should get back to the stadium."
"Time sure flies." She looked at the time and got up as well, holding both his hands. "Shall we?"
"Let's." Broly smiled and headed back with her to the staff entrance. "Hey, Nemuri."
"Ye-" She was interrupted as Broly lifted her for a kiss. She was surprised but then kissed back as she deepened the kiss. After three minutes, they separated.
"Thank you, for being there." He told her as she placed her down as she was madly blushing.
"Y-Your welcome." She said as she was still red. She quickly straightened herself out and took relaxing breaths. "We should get going. I'm sure the event is about to begin." She grabbed ahold of him and ran to the arena, seeing what the matches will be.
