"First years!" Midnight shouts into the open air, gaining everyone's eyes that was originally on Izuku Midoriya back to the female hero. Her red flogger-style whip pointing directly at the board. "Now then, I will explain the rules of the cavalry battle. The time limit is fifteen minutes. Each team is worth the total of its member's points, and the riders will wear a headband with the 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." An image of All Might wearing headbands on his neck upward was shown. "So the more you steal, the harder it'll be to manage them! And the most important thing is that even if your headband gets stolen, or if your team falls, you're not out!"

"Which means..." A female from Class 1-A spoke with a hand on her chin. Mirai turned her blonde head in the voices direction and took notice of a rather tall teenage girl with a rather mature physique. She has long black hair that is normally tied into a spiky ponytail with a large strand hanging on the right side of her face. Her eyes are thin and sharp, dark in color and paired with short eyebrows set in a determined expression.

That's the girl with the creation quirk, Mirai realized. The blonde female had been warned about this girl from her Class 1-B classmates only a few days before the sports festival.

"... Since there are 43 people, there will be ten or twelve teams on the field the whole time?" A male from Class 1-A finished speaking as he looked at the ponytail female.

"Sounds hard," a young man said, he seemed to have a slim build and a rather feminine face. He has long blonde hair, worn flattened down around the majority of his head, spiked and sticking out to the sides at the bottom of it with a side fringe that curves upwards a little before it curves down. He has notably long eyelashes and bright indigo eyes, giving him the appearance of a young prince.

"One strategy could be to let someone take your points first so you'll be more free." The pink skinned female explained.

Tsu places a small finger onto her chin, deep in thought, before looking at the pink skinned female. "It's hard to say without seeing how all the points end up getting split up, Mina."

"During the game, it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your Quirks." Midnight told the students. Mirai turned back around to listen to the purple haired female speak. "But it is still a cavalry battle. You'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose." In other words Midnight was not allowing students to get bloody or bruised until round 3. "You'll be removed immediately!"

Bakugo gave a small scoff, "Damn."

Mirai let her blue eyes drift toward Kaito and Izuku the moment she heard Bakugo cursing. Maybe it was a good thing for those two boys not to face the raging dog of explosions. At least Todoroki wouldn't be able to burn or ice the two boys. It was a good thing Midnight made that rule or Kaito and Izuku might not survive the second round of the Sports Festival.

The board changed into a timer which read; 15:00.

"Now, you have fifteen minutes to build your teams. Start!" Midnight ordered with a small wave of the red flogger-style whip.

Mirai looked around in a hurry as all the students began to move toward people within their classes. She took notice of Todoroki talking to the creation female with the ponytail. Of course the two most powerful people within Class 1-A would work together to be number one after Izuku won first place in the first round. Her blue eyes landed on Izuku who was in deep thought with Kaito standing beside him, only the blonde haired boy was watching everyone with his blue-grey eyes-that was the moment when Mirai realized Bakugo was correct at calling Kaito a guard dog because everywhere the boy looked the glimmer in his eyes seem to hold something very protective over the green haired boy that was worth ten million points.

If Kaito is in guard dog mode, then it would be a bad idea to go after the ten million points. Mirai admits to herself. It would be much better to go after the lesser point teams for class 1-B to win.

Her blue eyes looked around and took notice of Bakugo surrounded by his classmates.

"Team up with me!" A tall, very muscular young man with a wide build said. His brown hair is short, and spiked upwards away from his head. He has rather small, square-shaped eyes with small black pupils and has a pair of bushy eyebrows just above. He has very large and thick lips which are slightly darker in color than the rest of his skin, and a notably large, round nose.

"What? Bakugo team up with me!" Mina cried.

"Don't you want to team up with me?" The blonde hair boy from Class 1-A mumbled, only he was holding his stomach with a look of pain across his face from using his quirk during round 1.

"Wait," Bakugo spoke to the group gathered around him. "Remind me what your quirks are again and your names?"

"You're kidding!" Mina exclaimed. "We're your classmates."

Mirai rolled her blue eyes before looking away at the scene. I guess Bakugo really is full of himself. That guy can't even bother to remember his classmates' names. Then again, Bakugo came in four and had two hundred points and an amazing quirk that could help him within the cavalry battle.

"Bakugo!" the voice from the red haired boy with the similar quirk of Tetsutetsu shouts, waving his head toward Bakugo. Mirai looked back at the Class 1-A students because of the yell. "Hey! Todoroki chose his team already!"

Todoroki picked a team already? Mirai felt her stomach sink to the very pit of her own core. This isn't going to end very well. I have to know what students he picked. She'll have to find Todoroki with the crowd and see who was standing near the son of Endeavor.

"Bakugo, team up with me!" the red haired boy said, pointing a thumb to himself, grinning.

"Hey, dumb hair," Bakugo greeted in a blunt and bored tone. He didn't seem to care about the words the red haired boy just spoke to him.

"I'm Kirishima!" the red haired boy shouts at the top of his lungs. "At least try to remember!"

Well, he does call everyone around him extras. Mirai realized because it seemed Bakugo didn't care about anyone other than the fact he wanted to win. Being number one and everyone else were just stepping stones for Bakugo to crush one by one with his explosions.

"My hair's not that different from yours!" Kirishima shouts back at Bakugo. "Kaito's is even weirder."

Mirai turned toward Kaito. The boy's hair was strange because his blonde hair was curled up in a point with a dark green spiked front, also featuring dark green bangs. There was no way that hair was normally shaped like that, unless it was. Kaito looked like an actual prince that seemed to give off a rather dark energy. Those bright red eyes she saw during the first round made the female shutter in fear for a moment before turning back to Bakugo's group.

"You're gonna be the rider, right?" Kirishima wondered to the Explosion user. "Then who'll be a front horse that can take your blasts?" Then the male activated his quirk on his arm, which quickly sharped in the form of hardening, which seemed to leave a jagged edge.

Bakugo remained silent for a moment, not even impressed. "I'm gonna need someone with guts."

"My Quirk was made for this!" Kirishima encouraged as he pointed a thumb toward his chest to show how brave hearted the male was for the upcoming challenge. "I got your covered man. Let's go charging into battle together." Not that seemed to spike Bakugo's interest as the red haired boy brought his fist into the air. "Ten million. Bring it."

That's when Bakugo's whole attitude seemed to change in only a few seconds. A giant grin showed his sharp white teen in the form of a wolf-like grin. "We're going to murder Kaito and Deku!"

Mirai just paled. Seriously. What is with this guy and murder? What even made Bakugo think Kaito and Izuku were going to team up together? Her blue eyes drift toward the two boys, those two stood isolated from everyone else because of the Ten Million point value on Midoriya's head.

Izuku started to inch slowly across the ground with his legs until the green-haired boy stood behind someone from Class 1-A, before speaking in a small whimper, "Um, hi, Ojiro...?"

The young man, Ojiro, had a muscular build and short blonde hair, swept to the front of his head. He has thin eyes with no lower eyelashes. Due to his Quirk, he also has a tail, which is completely hairless save for the tip. The boy's eyes grew wide once he took notice of Midoriya before slowly inching away from the shorter boy, "Sorry..." he mumbled.

Izuku paled and went stiff as stone. The teen seemed to realize that no one wants to try and keep the points for the whole game. It'd be a better strategy to try and steal the points at the end. And unlike Todoroki and Bakugo, he didn't use his quirk in the first round. "No one has any confidence in me. I'm screwed," he mumbled to Kaito.

Kaito just gave his friend a pat on the back with his blue gloved hand. "Then we're screwed together. Besides, I have confidence in you. Plus, remember what All Might told you?" Izuku gave a nod which made Mirai curious about what the number one hero would have spoken with Midoriya about. "Having Ten Million points is the best way to prove to the people of the world that you are here. Everyone's eyes are going to be on you, who is in the number one spot. I'm planning to make sure you keep it."

"Thank you, Kaito," the green haired boy answered with a small smile growing on his face because all his nervousness seemed to disappear at his friends words.

Mirai felt her heart melt. Kaito and Izuku's friendship remained the same as Mirio and Amajiki's. It was a pure friendship that seemed to have grown over time. Kaito had moved here to Japan from America, while Amajiko switched schools. Kaito met Izuku. Mirio met Amajiki.

"Deku," the brown haired female with the gravity quirk spoke. "Let's team up."

That caused Izuku to turn around and burst out into a fountain of tears. The water seemed to flow out of the boy's green eyes as the female shield herself from the water. "Uraraka! Are you sure? Everyone'll probably be after me because of my ten million stupid points!"

Uraraka gave a bright smile. "If we run away the whole time, then you'll win, right?"

"I-I think you're overestimating me, or underestimating everyone else here." Izuku admits.

That's true, Mirai admits only to shake her head. Only Class 1-B wouldn't want the Ten Million points. Everyone would be aiming for Izuku which means no one would care about the other headbands. That was the big mistake Bakugo and Todoroki made.

"Anyway, it's better to team up with people you get along with!" Uraraka exclaimed with a smile, it seemed to give off a burst of sunshine around the cheery female.

Wow. She reminds me of Nejire Hado, Mirai admits. Well, personality wise.

"For teams, it's best to be with people you can communicate with smoothly, right?" Izuku stated to the brown haired female and Kaito. Both gave a nod, Uraraka more quickly while Kaito just gave a small nod. "Actually, with Uraraka's quirk and Kaito's and one other person...I think I have a solid plan."

Kaito gave a shake of his head the moment Midoriya turned toward the kid with the glasses that can run fast. "Bad idea," he breathed.

Only Izuku and Uraraka seemed to not hear the blonde hair male as the two headed on toward the boy.

"Lida," Izuku said.

His name is Lida, huh? Mirai thought. I still might refer to him as the one with the glasses, though.

Izuku, Uraraka, Lida and a bitter looking Kaito, who was side eyeing the glasses wearing kid. "Uraraka, and me can be horses with Lida in the front. And then, if we use Uraraka's Quirk to make Lida, Kaito and I lighter, we'll be able to maneuver around easily. Kaito can be the rider. He's physically strong and his quirk will work better for it."

Mirai's ears picked up the words as she stared at them. What is Kaito's quirk? If Izuku thought it would be a great help, then what could it be? Somehow the image of those glowing red eyes entered her mind once again in a small flash at just thinking about the boy's quirk.

"A Brilliant strategy, Midoriya..." Lida admits as he looked downward. "But sorry." Izuku let out a small gasp as Kaito's glare seemed to turn into pure hatred. "But I'm afraid I must refuse your offer. Ever since the entrance exam, I just keep losing to you. You are a wonderful friend, but that's why, if I just keep following you, I will never grow." His glasses seem to reflect off the sun as Lida adjusted them over the bridge of his nose. "Bakugo and Todoroki aren't the only ones who see you as a rival. I wish Kaito would see you as one, too." That was true. Kaito could've gone for his own team but chose to stay with Midoriya out of loyalty. Only for the blue-grey eyed boy to glare daggers at Lida for his words of wisdom before the engine quirk user turned around and walked toward Todoroki. "I will challenge you."

He's on Todoroki's team. Mirai thought as her eyes grew wide. She wasn't expecting that Lida would choose to join Todoroki. With how Lida was talking. Why join Todoroki while Lida could use his own skills on his own team rather than depend on Shoto, who has already challenged Midoriya. Well, I guess Lida doesn't have confidence in his own skills.

"Oh please," Kaito scoffed, giving a mocking laugh. "Challenge? I already know all your secrets and tricks, Lida. You'll lose badly. Good thing you chose Todoroki's team to test your skills. I made a promise to humiliate him on live television." He turned to Izuku. "I'll be back. I guess it's my turn to choose our last teammate." Then he turned and walked again from the group in search of Izuku's last team member.

Wow. That was all Mirai could think. Kaito might be acting like a jerk but he did seem visibly hurt by Lida's choice and put on a taught act. Only her mind could recall words; secrets and tricks. Kaito seemed to know everything about Lida with those choice of words. Which made the female worry for a brief moment about whether the blonde haired male would know about those in Class 1-B as well as Class 1-A's quirks and skills.

Could Kaito have done research on everyone at the Sports Festival? It was possible. There was nothing in the rule book about researching and making up a strategy for the games. Everything that Kaito knew was legal.

Mirai let out a small breath. Bakugo, Shoto. Kaito. Those three were dangerous. The most dangerous to Class 1-B's way of winning round 2. Only Kaito will be protecting the Ten Million, while Todoroki and Bakugo will be focused on the blonde male and Izuku to even notice a sneak attack from Class 1-B.

"Hello, again." A voice that Mirai hadn't heard be spoken toward her in a long while. Just the sound of Shinso's voice made the female flinch. The boy had terrified her because of his reaction within the lunch room.

Mirai turned around, quickly. It happened so fast that her vision seemed to blur from the speed. His purple hair was spiked upward into the air with a lazy and calm looking facial feature growing across his pale face, a grin forming-this time it seemed friendly.

What does he want? The blonde wondered, heart beating in her chest. The female could feel a small sickness grow within the pit of her stomach which made her belly turn upside down. Mirai had only ever lost her voice when interacting with two people. The first being Shoto because of the anger he wore on his face like a mask. The second being Shinso because of the horrifying reaction he sent her way. Only both the males seem to have a deep hatred for the world and not Mirai.

The only thing Mirai was guilty of came to being the victim toward their own hate. Quirks and society rules were to blame. Not her. But she wishes to help fix it. Deep down, in the deepest part of her heart and soul, the female understood that there was nothing she could do to help either of them. Change will someday come, but not from her.

"Look," Shinso said before letting out a small breath. "I'm sorry about what happened during our first meeting. I was rather upset at not getting into the hero course."

"I know," Mirai admits, finally finding her voice. Her blue eyes drifted sheepishly upward to look into his violet eyes, which did hold some regret behind them. "You made your point very clear." Why was he talking to her? Why now of all times? In the middle of making teams for the second round of the Sports Festival seemed like the wrong place and time for having a conversation about what transpired between the two of them.

"Good. So no hard feelings?" he wondered.

"Nope."

"Good. So..." Shinso looked down toward the ground. "Do you have a team?"

"No." Mirai answered.

At that moment, something strange happened. Her mind seemed to fade away into nothing. She could think and see but her senses seemed to have dulled. The young female stood still as those blue eyes that seemed to once glitter with light and awareness seemed to have faded into nothing but a dull color of blue.

It was Shinso's Quirk

He used his quirk on me? Mirai realized, shocked. The female could not speak or control her own body. She was now a human puppet. A human being on a string for Shinso to pull along and do whatever he wished. I shouldn't have let my guard down. Should've never talked to him. The blonde scolded herself within her own mind in fury.

"Why don't you join me?" Shinso wondered, grinning like an actual villain. He was a puppet master. The whole world could be turned into his unless puppets whenever he saw fit.

Mirai felt her head start to move in the form of a nod. Her body was no longer her own and someone else's to control. Trapped within her own mind and forced to act on Shinso's words. The blonde knew that Shinso's quirk could control people because her blue eyes saw it during the first round, only the girl never once excepted he'll use his quirk to build a team.

Just as her body moved forward to walk alongside Shinso back to his team-his other puppets. Someone shoved Mirai with such force that the young female fell onto the ground, hitting her head in the dirt. She might be covered in dirt and with a headache, but she was free from Shinso's quirk.

"Sorry about that. I should watch more about where I'm going, right?" The voice of Kaito spoke as Mirai left her head upward and sat up onto her knees. Only the boy's blue-grey eyes moved away from Mirai's blue as they settled onto Shinso's. Tension seemed to feel the air. "Long time no see, Shinso. I haven't seen you since the Entrance exam."

They know each other? The blonde female though, looking in-between the two men.

"Kaito." Shinso greeted, bitterly. There seemed to be a sour taste within his mouth as he shot a small glare toward the blonde male. The General studies student was furious that he lost his prey.

"I see you're using a quirk on this girl. What happened to your original plan to crush us hero course students with your own strength?" Kaito mocks, glaring at Shinso.

"A small change in plans."

"How about you stop controlling people with your quirk and make some friends?" Kaito suggested to the purple haired teen. "You'll need them within the Hero Course. Even though some of us will backstab each other later on just to make number one hero." The blonde still seemed bitter about what took place with Lida.

"Really?"

"Really."

Mirai expected Kaito to become brainwashed, only it didn't happen. Why isn't it working on him? Or maybe Shinso didn't use his Quirk on the other male.

"You're Quirk wouldn't work on me," Kaito answered. "I have a mental shield."

So he's immune to Shinso's Quirk.

"Now run along before I do something you'll regret." Now that was a threat.

"Whatever," Shinso answered, turning around and walking away.

Mirai watched the purple haired boy go off into the crowd of students with a prize. Her blue eyes drift toward Kaito as a blue gloved hand fills the female's vision. The girl blinked a few times before taking the hand offered by the male and was pulled up from the ground. "Thank you."

"I'm sorry," Kaito answered. "About having to shove you into the ground. I didn't know how else to snap you out of the brainwashing."

"No worries. I'm fine," Mirai answered with a joyful grin. Only now did the female realize that Kaito remained the girl of a real life prince-a hero. She had been caught under Shinso's wicked spell and was saved by a handsome male that didn't have to step into the situation. Kaito's hair style that was in a show of a crown made him look like a real life prince.

The prince saved the maiden. The hero saved the girl from a villain.

"That's good. I'm Kaito."

"Mirai," she answered with a grin.

Kaito seemed to smile, a thin one forming on the edge of his lips. Only he refused to show teeth. This male didn't seem to be used to smiling brightly like All Might. "Well, one of your Classmates seems to be wanting you." He commented, pointing an index a finger behind.

Mirai turned around and took notice of Neito Monoma waving toward the young blonde.

"Mirai, I need you on the team. So we can crush Class 1-A," he comments before walking closer and taking notice of Kaito. "Don't tell me that someone from Class 1-A is trying to recruit you? Mirai would never betray her classmates of 1-B. She knows better than to do that because everyone in dear Class 1-A is attention seeking victims that wish to always be in the spotlight. Never giving poor class 1-B their time in thespotlight."

"Huh?" Kaito mumbled, looking confused.

"Don't pay any attention to him." Mirai quickly says. "He's always like this."

"In other words he's your classes Bakugo."

That's a sly comment. The female thought as a smile began to grow on her lips. "Yep."

Neito Monoma became furious toward the comparison. "I am nothing like that-"

"See you around, Mirai." Kaito comments before walking away.

"He's not listening to anything I have to say!" Neito shouts toward Mirai. "See. Class 1-A our all arrogant jerks."

Where's Kendo when you need her? The blonde would very much wish the red haired female was nearby to karate chop Neito in the back of his neck. The blonde sometimes talked crazy. "Says the person that started the whole fight between us and Class 1-A."

"That was Bakugo," Neito admits. "He started it with his loud mouth."

"Yeah," the blonde answered with a small nod. "But you seemed to keep adding fuel to the fire."

Only, before Monoma could continue. Kosei Tsuburaba, a young man with short brown hair, spiked up at odd angles on his head. His eyes are oval-shaped, along with his large pupils. Kosei had a Quirk that could solidify any air he breathes out, allowing him to create invisible walls and platforms. The second boy moving forward was Shihai Kuroiro, a tall young man with fluffy white hair and black eyes, which are long and thin in shape. His most prominent feature is his pitch black skin. He had the Quirk which allows him to merge with anything that's the color black.

"Mirai," Shihai spoke in a quiet voice. He always talked quietly and shy to everyone in class 1-B. "There you are? We've decided on a strategy that includes you."

"Oh, that's good," Mirai admits, smiling.

Monoma gave a small nod. "The main three teams that will be collecting headbands will be Kendo, myself, and Tetsutetsu. Everyone else of Class 1-B will form teams and give their headbands to the three teams collecting the headbands. They'll cover us from main attacks while we take Class 1-A's headbands. Mirai. You're important to my plan when it comes to your phasing Quirk being used on us to protect the headbands."

The young woman had been practicing with her phasing on objects and taking people with her, only it might not work all the way. The person she took with her always seemed to be in-between a phase and not phased. Always looking like a ghost flashing between spirit and human.

"What about the ten million?" Mirai wondered out loud, unable to stop the words from leaving her mouth.

"We don't need it," Monoma answered with a grin. "Only a fool will go after it. I do believe Kaito can handle himself just fine when it comes toward the ten million points staying safe. After all, Pony told me about Kaito's quirk. It's a double quirk. He's very much like myself. Always mocked because of his power, but he has a dark side."

Mirai just blinked and stared at Monoma as her ears tried to take in the words the boy just told her about the male that looked like a real life prince. But those red eyes of Kaito's flashed once more within the back of her head. Kaito was a threat but a useful one. That Class 1-A member might be able to help Class 1-B win round 2. Whatever Kaito's quirk was-it was going to make for one great show?

"Let's all remember something, team." Monoma told the group gathered before him. "Almost everyone here has their eyes on Class A. Why is that? And like Tetsutetsu said, Class A is full of themselves about it...It's strange, isn't it? The only difference between us and them is that they fought villains. Why were those of us in Class B happy with being in the middle of the pack? Let's step it up and show those arrogant Class A jerks what we can do. Are you with me?"

"Yeah," Mirai and the other two members of their team said to Monoma.

Everyone had slipped into their own little teams. The minutes continued to tick along the way as everyone continued making their own little plans for the next game. Until, the timer went off which signals for the games to begin.

"Now then, it's about time to get started!" Midnight cheered, stretching her arms.

"After fifteen minutes to form teams and talk strategy," Mic began to explain to everyone, "Twelve cavalry teams are lined up on the field!

"There are some interesting teams out there," Eraserhead mumbled, he was still covered in bandages from the U.S.J. fight. He'd been roped into helping Mic with commentary at the Sports Festival.

"Now, raise those battle cries!" Mic told the cheering crowd of people within the stands. "It's time for the U.A. bloody battle! Light the signal fire!"

Get ready.

Monoma turned and looked at Tetsutetsu. "No hard feelings, okay?"

Tetsutetsu put his fist into the air. "Right."

"Let's get this party started!" Mic shouts. "One final Countdown to the brutal battle royal. Three!"

Bakugo had 665 points. "Get him," the explosion male voice.

"Two!"

Shoto wore a headband of 615 points. "He's ours."

"One!"

Izuku had ten million points, along with the added numbers of Kaito, Uraraka, and the one with the shadow bird.

"Begin!" Midnight shouts into the air, moving the red flogger-style whip forward in the air.

That's when everyone moved forward toward the ten million points.

"It's basically a battle for ten million points!" Tetsutetsu shouts.

An invisible female from class 1-A gave a small laugh. "I'll be taking that headband, Midoriya."

"An attack without delay, huh..." the one with the shadow bird quirk comments, dully."Such is the fate of the pursued..."

"This is it." Uraraka mumbled.

Kaito gave a small nod. "Yeah. This is gonna be fun."

"Make your choice Midoriya!" The one with the shadow bird told the green haired boy, who was the rider of the group.

"It's easy," Izuku declared, green eyes narrowed. "We're running away!"

Tetsutetsu gave a loud shout, "I don't think-"

Only Izuku, Uraraka, Kaito, and the dark shadow bird teen flew into the air. Basically floating.

"I warned Tetsutetsu not to aim for those Ten Million points," Monoma mumbled. "He should have listened."

Mirai raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

All the blonde hair boy did was grin. "You'll see."

"He can fly?" Tetsutetsu snarled, glaring up at the group with the ten million points.

"How are they flying?" Mirai wondered.

"It's rather easy," Pony explained from her spot with her own team. "Kaito has a Force quirk. You know. Like in those space movies. He's using his ability to fly-in this cause to float them around. Thanks to Uraraka's gravity it's making the movement very easy for him."

"Wow." Mirai admits.

The one student with the headphones for ears tried to send up the wired ears, which the shadow bird knocked away which gave Kaito time to move a finger and gained control of the headphone ears, he kept one in the air while slamming the other into ground. The male's finger sparked electricity before sending a small electrical current into one side of the headphone which went down into the wire toward the ground, shocking everyone that had made a grab for the Ten Million.

He's using everyone's quirks against them. Mirai realized.

Monoma grinned before moving forward and taking the invisible girl's headband. "As I said earlier about Kaito. He's very useful for Class 1-B coming out on top. That kid is a dangerous guard dog at the moment. So this is going to be easy."

Izuku and his team landed back on the ground, running.

"Now then, even though barely two minutes have passed since we've started. It's already turned into a free-for-all!" Mic comments with excitement. "Yeah. Fights over the headbands breaking out all over! You can even ignore the ten million points and go for a second to fourth place isn't bad, either!"

"We need to be in the top four in order to move onto the next round it seems," Mirai told her teammates.

A kid with purple balls for hair tried to throw them at Izuku, only for Kaito to use his force quirk to freeze them in the air before sending them flying back. Then, team Midoriya took off into the air once more. A loud explosion went off, which caused Mirai to look upward toward the sky. It was Bakugo riding on his explosions after the ten million point team.

"Is that even allowed?" Mirai wondered. Bakugo just left his teammates on the ground.

"Don't think for a second either of you are safe," Bakugo snarled. "I got you." He moved his hand toward the ten million points over to be frozen in place by Kaito's quick, then the dark shadow bird knocked Bakugo out of the way, sending the male toward the ground. Only Bakugo was saved from crash landing head first onto the ground by the Class 1-A member with tape, which pulled the explosion user back to them.

"Is that even allowed?" Mic spoke out loud.

"He never touched the ground. Technically it's alright," Midnight answered with a thumbs up. If Bakugo had touched the ground he would've been out, then he would have a reason to be furious.

The million point team landed on the ground once again, running.

"Now, who wants to take a look at each team's points so far," Mic shouts into the air. "It's been seven minutes! Here are the current rankings up on the screen!

The board started to light up with numbers and point totals for each team. Which caused many onlookers to gasp at the results. Everyone from Class 1-A, except for Midoriya's team, was doing very badly. Mirai couldn't help but grin because Class 1-B's plan had worked.

"Hold on here!" Mic said to himself, not believing his eyes. "Other than Midoriya, Class-A isn't doing so well...Even Bakugo is losing."

Monoma quickly stole Bakugo's headband. This caused Mirai to flinch because the copy quick user was going to anger the bull. Bakugo felt his headband get stolen, giving a sharp turn behind him and took notice of Monoma's team.

"Your class is too simple-minded. Think bigger," Monoma mused.

"He got us!" Mina shouts.

Those words seem to make the male angry. "What did you say?" he questioned with a blinding rage that seemed to make his eyes turn pure white. "Get back here."

Monoma told his team to stop moving with a movement of his hand. Mirai turned her attack toward the blonde haired male, worried about what he was going to do next. They should've kept moving and not angered the raging Chihuahua. "Midnight said it was the first game," the male answered toward Bakugo. "It wouldn't make sense for them to cut a ton of people in the qualifier, right?" Then he turned around to face Bakugo, who was eyeing them. "Assuming they'd keep about forty people for the next stage, we just made sure we stayed within that number as we ran, observing from the back the Quirks and personalities of those who would be our rivals. Only a fool would be obsessive over winning the preliminaries, right?"

"Did you plan this as a class?" Bakugo wondered, eyes narrowed.

Monoma added Bakugo's headband to his neck. "Well, it wasn't a consensus, but it was a good idea, right? It's better than going after a temporary 'top' like a horse with a carrot waving in front of its face." The explosion users' rage seemed to be growing by the minute. "Oh, while I'm at it, you're famous, aren't you? By being attacked by that sludge villain. Tell me about it sometime-" Bakugo's face seemed to grow into anger. Face twisting and teeth clenched together, tightly. "About how it feels to be attacked by villains once a year.

"Why are you angering the Chihuahua," Mirai wondered toward her classmate with wide eyes. Because Bakugo looked ready to bite and slaughter them all for those comments.

"Kirishima," Bakugo snarled with his eyes pure white with rage. "We have a change of plans..." Red energy seemed to be going off him, looking ready to blow into a massive explosion. "Before we take down Deku and Kaito! We're going to kill every one of these B-list idiots."

"Eek," Mirai breathed. Bakugo really did know how to be scary? She could feel actual fear pour within her body. Her blue eyes went toward Kaito and Izuku. Only to take notice that the ten million point team had been cornered by Shoto's team.

"Now we've reached the halfway point of the game." Mic exclaimed.

"I thought we had it made," Izuku breathed out, green eyes staying set on Todoroki. "Guess I was wrong."

"The cavalry battle rushes into the second half!" Mic continued to tell the people watching. "It's anyone's game. In this unexpected rise of Class B, who will wear the ten million points in the end? That's the real question, sports fans?"

Shoto narrowed his eyes, looking at Izuku and Kaito. "I'll be taking that now."

Kaito smirked, an evil look within his eyes. "We'll see about that."

Mirai felt her blood turn to ice because of Kaito's words to Shoto and at the looming threat of Bakugo. But a signal thought came to the back of her mind. If Kaito's quirk is Force, then what's with the red eyes that she saw during the first round?
