"Izuku Midoriya Is first! He's our champion!" Excitedly, President Mic proclaims to the high heavens causing the crowd to roar excitedly at their new champ where Midoriya stands shocked over his achievement as the others soon come filing in. Panting, Midoriya has his hands over his knees, heaving, huffing, trying to regain his breath from the run. Confetti comes crashing down, celebrating his win while Sayako curls in on herself, heaving, on her hands and knees, trying desperately to keep her closes on as Midoriya sheds tears of triumph of pride…of…emotion. While thread girl sheds tears of her own.

"Deku…no way…not again." Anguished, Katsuki's seethes scowling at the floor of grass below, a darkened look in his fierce feral ruby reds shaking, quivering, quaking sweat slithers down his fidgeting form as he grits his teeth together frustrated at being beaten by said boy. His ruby reds look up towards the crowd seeing the furrowed frown of Katsumi making his hues dart back down to the ground below unable to look from above again.

"That idiot." Katsumi whispers brow furrowing when seeing her brother cradle his arm shaking. He used it too much she knew he wanted to be number one and to push himself but this was ridiculous for him to be on the brink of his ligaments already was not good…not one bit.

"Aw look Kat your brother made a friend." Cheekily, Hawks remarks as Katsumi sweat drops at her baby brother yelling at the blonde before him. The two screech, snarl, shout at one another as she couldn't help but compare it to her own when the two had their sibling squabble of the week. She was glad Katsuki made a friend even if his form of friendship was…unique.

Hawks hues narrow noting the four-armed guy rush towards Sayako's side handing her over his shirt much to her relief as she puts it on, the two laughing just as a group of kids come in, holding up a lilac haired boy, staring at the two talking, his hues narrowing silently scowling at the two laughing before him…

"The first game for the first year is finally over what a game it was now let's take a quick look at the standing shall we?" Easily, Midnight smirks gesturing to the screen above.

"What's with your brother's face?" Hawks cackles reeling his head back at Bombarda's brother's face on screen.

"I…I don't know." Katsumi confesses ashamed at the sheer sight of her brother looking like he's about to take a shit something no one on earth should be forced to see. She gets her brother was intense but this was…

"All those in the top 42 will proceed to the next round but don't feel too let down if you didn't make the cut. We've prepared other opportunities for you to shine. Now the real fun is about to begin. The chance to fully move you into the limelight. Give it your best! Let's see what we have in store for you next will your wildest fantasies come to life or what will be awaiting be torture, prepare yourselves for this…!" Midnight explains to the crowd just as it filters to…

"Cavalry battle?" Bombarda furrows her brow.

"It really is like your old festival. Must feel weird huh?" Hawks smirks smugly lightly elbowing Katsumi.

"You have no idea." Katsumi mutters

"Allow me to explain. The participants will form into teams of three to four into how they see fit in theory its basically the same as any other playground game". Midnight gestures to her board where Thirteen, Mic and All Might are shown on the board to be in that cavalry position, explaining the point values and such but that isn't what shocks her, what shocks her is who is at the top being worth ten million…Midoriya Katsumi bows her head feeling bad for the poor boy, her hues softening sadly at the boy below.

"Now you've got 15 minutes to choose your teams I recommend you get started!" Midnight hints as next thing Katsumi knew…

"Someone's popular." Perkily, Hawks jokes lightly elbowing her side as Katsumi raises a brow by her clearly confused and lost brother staring at the people before him surrounding him, begging to be on his team but…

"Wait remind me what your quirks are again and your names!" Katsumi demands from the group swarming him.

"Katsuki!" Katsumi snaps scowling at her brother from afar.

"I see the apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Teasingly, Hawks wiggles a brow bemused chuckling.

"Wait we're your classmates!" Mad, Mina whines.

"Can you really be that self-centred!?" Sato argues annoyed.

"Katsuki…" Katsumi groans sliding her face in her hands. feeling second-hand embarrassment.

"How did you do it back then?" Curious, Hawks asks her.

"I…don't really remember Kane sort of just grabbed me and next I knew…" Katsumi trails off her hues narrowing at the murky memory.

"Bakugou I was going to try Todoroki but he already picked a group so hey we should team up." Katsumi's ruby reds widen when seeing a boy causally call out to Bakugo, his hair…horns don't tell me…Katsumi begins but…

"Team up with me!"

"No me!"

"Me you must!"

"Uhh…" Lost, the younger Katsumi stares at the people before her feeling like a deer in headlights having no clue how to deal with the bombardment of people before her until…

"Oh Kat there you are come on over here." Happily, Kane smiles draping his arm over the lost Katsumi as next she knew her team has been formed.

"Hey dumb hair…" Casually, Bakugo greets him bored.

"My name is Kirishima and my hair's not that different from yours! Come on you want to be the rider right? So you'll need a strong front horse who won't be hurt from your blast. That'll be me." The redhead rushes over to the blonde.

"…I need someone with guts." Bakugo tells him.

"My quirk was made for this! I got you covered man. Let's go charging into battle together. Ten million bring it." Both boys share a glint between them making Katsumi sweat drop at the sadistic smirk of her brother.

"Seems he made a friend." Hawks take note of.

"Yeah…" Relieved, Katsumi smiles shyly a wave of relish washing over her at the news.

"Hey, hey I'm back!" Bouncily, Hawks returns food in hand beaming from ear to ear after the break between the students forming their respective teams and forming their respected plans.

"Oh hey." Casually, Katsumi turns to him.

"Here, thought you'd want a snack." Smiling, he reveals the treats.

"Thanks." Katsumi takes one of them biting into it.

"So how's bird boy doing?" Curious, Hawks asks.

"Is that all you can think about?" Amused, Katsumi snickers.

"Did you see his shadow bird thing?" Hawks smirks smugly.

"I can't tell if you're more invested because the shadow is bird shaped or because the guy himself looks like a bird." Bluntly, Katsumi confesses to him.

"You make me sound so judgemental." Hawks tsks mockingly.

"You are a model." Teasingly, Katsumi reminds him.

"As are you." Hawks counters.

"Once." Katsumi disputes.

"I could easily take that food off you though." Hawks threatens.

"That doesn't sound very hero like Hawks." Katsumi exclaims.

"You win this round." Hawks huffs giving in.

"If you must know he's with Midoriya." Katsumi points out.

"Oh that boy you were concerned about last round right?" Hawks recalls.

"Yeah seems I'll need to have a word with him in the next round." Katsumi takes a note of.

"You think he'll make it?" Intrigued, Hawks asks her.

"I have faith in him." Resolved, Katsumi answers.

"Just as you have faith in your brother." Hawks exclaims.

"Of course." Katsumi says.

"Hey, hey look alive after fifteen minutes and talk of strategy twelve teams are prepared to go head to head." Lightly, Mic pats Aizawa's shoulder.

"I see some unexpected student combinations." Aizawa peers over, brow furrowing from the visor of bandages coiled around him his pitch-black noting to his confusion while most of class one a had stayed with their classmates a certain blonde stray aside from the rest turning towards a certain general studies student, the two talking smirking slyly at one another a similar glint in their eyes.

"Let the cavalry battle begin!" Boisterously, Midnight proclaims alerting them both. She slaps her whip down into the air as the two share a smug smirk, a glint gleaming in their eyes where the event begins.

"Pretty good for a chick." Hawks remarks as everyone rushes towards Midoriya's team only for said team to leap high in the sky.

"Are you really flaunting right now?" Katsumi arches a brow.

"Don't know what you're talking about dove." Dubiously, Hawks winks as Katsumi sweatdrops at the boy by her side seeing the flaunting feathers behind her tower over her.

"I've got you!" Bakugo bellows reaching out.

"Tokoyami now!" Midoriya calls out.

"What the hell is that!?" Bakugo slams his fist down upon the shadow spewing out of bird boy acting as a barrier of some sort.

"Whoa Bakugo's been sent back by his forces is that even allowed!?" Mic ponders as the sellotape boy catches him pulling him back down.

"He never touched the ground so technically it's okay." Midnight intervenes.

"Your brother really is on blockers." Hawks remarks.

"Which isn't good." Katsumi furrows her brow noting a certain other class closing in…

"Clearly." Hawks hues narrow noting the lack of hairband upon a certain blonde oblivious until…

"Now who wants to take a look at each team's points so far? It's been seven minutes so let's see what's on-screen! Hold on here this is an unexpected turn other than Midoriya class 1A aren't doing so hot, even Bakugo is losing!" Mic gawks gaping at the screen showcasing class B being in front with only one class 1 team remaining and on top.

"Your class is too small-minded, think bigger…" Boastfully, the blonde remarks to Bakugo swiftly stealing his headband.

"He got us!?" Kirishima gawks gaping at the blonde brushing by.

"What did you say!? Come back here!" Bakugo yells at the blonde.

"Midnight said the obstacle course was just the first game and we figured they wouldn't cut so many of us down at the first bat would they? Assuming they'd keep forty contenders for the next event all we had to do was to make sure we stayed in that group when we ran, from our spot in the middle ranks we could fully observe our rivals and their quirks. Only a fool would obsess themselves over winning the preliminary rounds." Mockingly, Monoma cackles cheerily mockingly at Bakugo.

"You planned this as a class?" Bakugo seethes.

"It wasn't totally unanimous, but I'd say it's working out pretty well. It's better than chasing after a temporary front runner like a horse chasing a carrot in his face. Oh, now that I've got your attention you're pretty famous aren't you? For being attacked by that sludge villain or better yet being the baby brother of Bombarda." Smugly, Momona remarks. Katsuki flinches from it, the others below him oblivious to his ruby reds darting towards said person.

"You…" Snarling, Bakugo bares his feral fangs at the extra in his eyes.

"She must be pretty embarrassed to come all the way over here to watch you be easily tricked not to mention copying her moves even in the cavalry battle was that your attempt at a homage or do you think stealing her moves will get you anywhere in the hero world? She must be pretty ashamed to have a lowly copy like you as a brother." Momona continues making Bakugo's blood boil, burn, bubble as he seethes snarls.

"Kirishima…we have a change of plans." Poisonously, Katsuki seethes a ruby red aura of fierce flames surrounding him.

"Eh?" Kirishima's voice cracks breaking by the sheer sight of the fierce fiery devil he is holding.

"Eeek…." The other two holding him up squeak scared.

"Before we take down Deku we're going to kill every last one of these B list idiots!" Incensed, Bakugo declares determined.

"What's up with your brother?" Befuddled, Hawks furrows his brow baffled by the malice emitting from him.

"I have...no idea." Bluntly, Bombarda answers.

"Seems your prediction was right after all…" Sayako remarks a part of her impressed as she carriers Shinso sitting tall, bandanna after bandanna draped over him.

"And you wanted to be the rider." Slyly, Shinso smirks down at the girl below.

"Is it so wrong that I wanted to be tall for once?" Miserably, Sayako huffs pouting almost at the thought bringing a small smirk of endearment to Shinso's lips from her words only then to narrow noting the team up ahead.

"Sayako!" Shinso calls out to her his hues narrowing at the team ahead as he places his hand on her shoulder squeezing it.

"On it." Sayako nods her head as she slams her foot to the ground just as the team ahead gasp the front falling forward from the sudden stitch sewn into his feet throwing his team forward.

"Arghh….shit!" Shishida curses as he gasps oblivious to the stitches sewn into the heel of his botts catching him off guard.

"Shishida!" Rin scowls concern clear in his tone towards his front falling forward only for them both to blink at the blue blur before them or more specifically lilac.

"How about you don't trip?" Shinso tells the group turning to him.

"H-Huuuuuhh…" The entire team gasp, their hues turning snow-white entranced making both Sayako and Shinso smirk at one another.

"Hand over the headbands." Sternly, Shinso commands as the two comply handing them over before they continue on with their plan.

"Smart…no one aims for the general course students." Hawks mutters as Katsumi nods her head impressed by the cunning of them both as they continue on watching, waiting for the next weakest link which turns out to be….

"Smart girl using her threads to trip them up…" Katsumi mutters.

"How did they not get in trouble for that?" Hawks ponders out loud.

"Because they didn't fall she released them so the front could catch himself leading to an opening for hypno boy." Katsumi answers.

"Monoma don't provoke him man that's the kinda thing he would do." One of Monoma's teammates reminds their leader.

"Yeah I guess you're right. It's not very heroic of me besides you know how these things work heroes are always being hounded by moronic villains desperate for revenge.

"Calm down Bakugo you got to keep a level head or else we're not going to get our points back." Kirishima tries to calm him down but…

"Arghhhh! I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE CALMER CAN'T YOU TELL! NOW GET AFTER THEM KIRISHIMA!" Enraged Bakugo swiftly slams his fist upon the hardhead head of the redhead below him.

"Please don't let me regret this." Kirishima sighs giving in as they chase after them.

"You're brother's crazy." Hawks deadpans.

"…I like to call him unique." Desperate, Katsumi smiles strained.

"YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGH! DIIIEEEEE!" Katsuki snarls screaming only then to gasp taken aback as Monoma simply steps back, his hand brushing against Bakugo' before gently swatting Kirishima taking him aback.

"Huh…wow I see why you like this quirk." Impressed, Momona remarks after letting out a small explosion of his own.

"My power." Perplexed, Bakugo whispers stunned.

"Wow weird that guy has your quirk." Kirishima remarks.

"Dammit!" Katsuki curses out loud letting out another explosion towards the blonde but as the smoke soon fades…

"You both have impressive powers bur I think you agree mines better." Boastfully, he unhardens his skin smirking at the two he had stolen from.

"What mine too!?" The redhead gawks.

"Bastard his quirk he can copy other powers." Katsuki seethes.

"Very good." Mockingly, Monoma remarks.

"Interesting…" Hawks hums.

"Not interesting." Katsumi scowls.

"Hm?" Hawks turns to her.

"It could be good for some situations but having the same quirk on the same team in the real world wouldn't be as useful as you'd think not to mention although he takes quirks that just means he also takes their limits." Logically, Katsumi crosses her arms over her chest, her scarlet scowling down at the boy below.

"So his ligaments." Hawks gathers.

"If Katsuki has him continue to use that quirk he could break his ligament and have him be taken to the hospital." Honestly, Katsumi considers.

"…Are you encouraging him to do that?" Hawks sweat drops.

"…No? Just an example of a limit of that quirk. It can be useful yes but…" Katsumi sighs.

"I'm sure." Hawks exclaims.

"So even an idiot can figure it out." Momona teases.

"Momona so long as we make it to the next round we'll make our class proud." The one form behind tells him holding him up just as another team from B rushes in spewing gunk all over.

"STOP THEM!" Katsuki snaps as he watches the two teams flee.

"It's soo sticky I can't move." Kirishima scowls down at the wax encasing his leg.

"I told him he had to keep a level head." Katsumi curses under her breath watching on as Hawks couldn't help but smile finding this sisterly side of her rather endearing while she simply stares ahead invested in the fight ahead.

"No prob I'll melt through this gunk with my quirk." Mina steps forward spewing acid from her foot.

"Well hurry we've got zero points now." Sero states impatiently.

"Oh no hard feelings right? After all you provoked us what was it you said in your little speech at the start of the game? Uh…oh right." Monoma calls out as he flees making Katsuki seethe.

"This isn't over I'm still going to be out on top and I won't just be in first place I'll be the undeniable champion!" Katsumi yells to the high heavens turning for his ruby reds to glare into a pair of stunned scarlet-looking lost.

"Hey what's going…?" Pony gasps as next thing she knew she too tripped up from a stray strand of fibre from Sayako smirking.

"Are you alright?" Swiftly, Shinso slides in asking her making Pony blink taken aback by the boy suddenly by her side just like the shoujo manga she read…

"Y-Yes thaa…" Blushing, Peony begins but falters when her bright beaming blues dilate feeling her body freeze.

"Peony what's going on? What did you do to her!?" Togaru questions the blonde, but no words come out of her.

"We'll tell you just hand us over those headbands of yours." Shinso smirks as he too freezes form his words as next thing the group knew there headband was gone.

"Those two…they know each other." Hawks gathers.

"And well from this synergy of theirs…" Katsumi joins in.

"Now Ida forward!" Both Bombarda and Hawks raise a brow by the sudden sparks sprouting out from the team opposite Midoriya facing off against one another as the others continue trying to chase after Midoriya's band. But before they could sparks spew out from the group as an insulation cloth covers the group sending them from the sparks.

"Kaminari!" Jiro screeches as she too is caught up in the spark waves yelling out in frustration towards him however the coating of ice swiftly stops the other competitors from getting in Todoroki's way. He then has Ida use some sort of special engine to burst towards Midoriya however as the main tow battle.

"Hey take a look at this." Hawks whispers catching Katsumi's attention as she too is drawn back to the blonde from before smirking smugly. Todoroki leaves the others encased in ice as Shinso and her arrive.

"Sayako!" Shinso calls out to her.

"On it." She smirks as a stray strand swiftly snatched the headbands from the other teams encased in ice

"HEEEEY COME BACK HERE!" Shinso and Sayako snicker, smirking from ear to ear at the wailed whines of those encased in ice as they continue on the hunt.

"Those two really are playing the game." Katsumi mutters impressed even at their sneak attack.

"LOSERS GET BACK HERE!" Roaring, Bakugo bellows.

"Doesn't he ever give up? Knowing you've been bested is an important part of being a hero." Monoma grumbles.

"HEY DON'T JUST BLOW OFF ON YOUR OWN!?" Sero snaps as he lunges forward.

"Tsubaraba! Stop it!" Panicked, Monoma calls out.

"Alright!" Said male spews out glass like circle into the open air from his mouth.

"He actually thinks that's going to stop Katsuki." Katsumi snickers smirking slightly amused at it.

"You sound proud." Playfully, Hawks jokes lightly.

"I know what my brother is capable of, some glass isn't going to stop him. Heh!" Katsumi smirks smugly as he breaks the glass after one punch to the other he finally breaks through taking the other team on the other side aback.

"Quick snatch him!" Kirishima calls out.

"Bakugo now is in third place!" Mic announces as Sato pulls him back.

"I told you to warn us when you jump." Sato scowls at him.

"Whatever the main thing is we're advancing." Kirishima dismisses.

"WE'RE NOT DONE! WE WILL BE THE UNDISPUTABLE CHAMPION IN THE GAME!" Bakugo bellows proudly.

"…I sort of feel bad for that redhead." Hawks sweat drops at the redhead being bashed.

"Yeah…he's in for one heck of a ride being friends with Katsuki…" Katsumi smiles shyly.

"Now look at this class 1 B's strategy was a reasonable one but there's one thing they forgot to consider…" Aizawa begins.

"I didn't brace myself earlier get closer! We're going to get our points back from this idiot and then go get the big one!" Katsumi says.

"Heh. Do it!" Sero and Kirishima smirk.

"Elbow guy tape him!" Katsuki raises his leg.

"My name's Sero!" Sero shoots his tape.

"You missed!" Monoma taunts.

"Raccoon eyes lay some acid in the direction we're going!" Katsuki orders her.

"It's Mina Ashido!" Angrily, she spews said acid before them.

"You understand something crucial, a truth someone has taught you…that there's a difference between those that aim for the top and those that will settle and that difference matters." In awe, All Might whispers, his electric blue looking towards Bombarda staring down at the battle below.

"Class 1B Didn't take in Bakugo's overwhelming tenacity." Aizawa announces as he swiftly steals back his bandannas.

"Bakugo is a merciless force!" Mic bellows.

"THAT'S MY BROTHER!" Katsumi proclaims proudly.

"That he is." Longingly, Hawks whispers in awe as he shyly smiles endearingly at her finding her sparkling shining scarlets endearing to him like a childlike glee.

"Now we're going after Deku and Todoroki! DEEEEKUUU!" Bakugo roars racing over as he leaps high in the sky over the ice trapping Todoroki and Midoriya's team.

"WHOSE GOT THE POINTS!? DAMMIT ICY HOT!" Katsuki curses out loud glaring at both teams.

"Times up!" Midnight proclaims as Sayako helps Hitoshi down, the two turning to Midnight revealing her team having made it to the next round alongside Todoroki's, Midoriya's, Bakugo's and a few others.

"Bakugo! Are you okay man?" Kirishima calls out to him as the alarm blares and the match ends with Katsuki falling flat on his face.

"ARGHHHHHHH!" Angrily, Katsuki slams his fists furiously on the ground below.

"Now let's take a look at who our top fourteen are! In first place team Todoroki in second place team Bakugo." Mic announces.

"Aww we were so close to first place." Mina whines.

"Sure but we're moving on so it's all good." Sero offers optimistically.

"I don't think our leader would agree not at all." Kirishima sweat drops as the three turn to said leader.

"ARGHHHHHH!" Angrily, Bakugo screams into the dirt below.

"In third place is team TE-WAIT WHAT!? It's team Shinso." Mic adds as the two turn to see the blonde whistling twirling a bandana around her forefinger while the other two remain draped over Shino.

"Thanks for all your help." Haughtily, Shino smirk at the clearly confused team mates.

"Who…wha…what happened?" Ojiro holds himself pain laced in his tense tone.

"You better not be thinking we should be telling your teammates what happened?" Shinso scowls down at the brunette before him.

"What? No! Why would we? It doesn't matter they go into the next round just like we did." The blonde says bored messing with the fabric.

"Then what are you thinking?" Shinso questions.

"Well what I'm thinking about is how terrifying lobsters are." She answers.

"…What?" Shinso blinks baffled.

"Lobsters are immortal. Kind of. Along with tasting delicious when dipped in butter and garlic, lobsters have another great trait: They constantly produce telomerase. Instead of dying of old age, the crustaceans just get bigger and bigger, thanks to their molecular hack. They sort of made a deal with the devil you could say. Telomeres are basically the aglets of chromosomes - they keep them from unraveling. Every time a human cell divides, our chromosomes lose some part of their telomeres. If telomeres reach a critical length, cells stop dividing. Since telomeres can't be replicated, there's a finite amount of times human cells can divide. When cells stop dividing, it's basically time to die. Humans gradually make less telomerase as we age while Lobsters just make more." She explains to him.

"…They have to die eventually though," Shinso argues annoyed a part of him not believing in having his conversation.

"Well it does for lobsters in its own way through molting. Lobsters - even though they don't age - get bigger. And getting bigger involves growing out of their exoskeletons, which ends up being an extremely taxing, energy-sapping activity. When they molt when they're tiny, they're especially vulnerable, but when they molt when they're huge it can be dangerous." She elaborates.

"…So you're saying we're going to be overthrown by lobster overlords one day." Shinso concludes the tale.

"If they evolve enough if the sun doesn't die first or zombies erupt from the earth then yeah?" Sayako shrugs.

"You can remember this but you can't remember the alphabet." Shinso scowls down at her.

"The alphabet is stupid okay!?" Defensively, she snaps as Katsumi couldn't help but compare her to Kane watching her just wander off.

"And in fourth place team Midoriya!" Mic throws in seeing said boy burst into a geyser of tears.

"And you're sure their family don't have a water quirk?" Hawks asks sweat dropping.

"…Honestly? I have no idea anymore." Katsumi sighs.

"GO BIRD BOY! Look at what my boy did." Boastfully, Hawks winks.

"You never met him." Katsumi furrows her brow at him.

"But I'm going to." Teasingly, Hawks winks.

"Oh ho so you are going to have a sidekick." Katsumi exclaims.

"Only so you can meet him maybe we'll even adopt him." Hawks winks cheekily.

"He has a family." Frowning, she deadpans.

"You never know." Hawks shrugs.

"Oi Hawks!" Katsumi furrows her brow noting him turn away.

"Hey is that Endeavour?" Hawks asks pointing to the fierce flame from afar.

"Eh? OI HAWKS HOLD…Urgh…good work guys." Scowling, she calls out to the blonde taking off leaving her making her sigh shaking her head at him before turning to the boys below, a small shy smile upon her lips. She whispers it out before following the blonde by her side.
