"Calvary battle..." Izuku looked around, "If I have to maximise my chances then..."
"You, Izu!"
"Akemi!" Izuku breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the girl approach him with a small smile. "Join me on my team?"
"Definitely." She grins and glances towards his back and smiles.
"Deku-kun! Let's team up!"
"U-uraraka-san!"
His classmate bounded towards him and cheered, "We're going to win this! Lets' give our best!"
"A-alright!"
" Akemi, you can improve our mobility and strength." Izuku turned back towards the girl, who is currently twisting her hair into a ponytail (but without a hairband she had to use a braided strand to hold it in place.), "And any more skills you've developed?"
"Oh I have just the thing." She grins.
Finally, only one person is left that he needs. He smiled when he spotted him alone to the side, and pats him on the shoulder.
"Tokoyami-kun!"
"I chose the three of you because I thought it would be the most stable formation, Kaminari, you'll be left-wing, keeping energy away with electricity. Yaoyorozu, you'll be the right wing, in charge of insulation and assisting with defence and movement. Finally, Iida, you'll be in front as the main source of mobility and defence." As Todoroki explained his reasons for picking them, Tenya glanced over at Midoriya's team.
Akemi?
This is bad...
"Todoroki, " he called out, the teen turned towards him, and he pointed towards Akemi, Uraraka, Tokoyami and Midoriya.
"Akemi-san and Midoriya?" Kaminari blinked in surprise, "doesn't that mean Midoriya can use his strength freely?"
Todoroki tsked and gritted his teeth. "And Kimura is partially an all-rounder with her quirk..."
After a short moment, of inner struggles, Tenya decided to tell them.
"Not necessarily." He spoke up, "Aside from the concentration strain, there is one more weakness in her powers."
"Sleeping gas?"
Akemi nodded.
"But... Can't you just drain the energy in it? Akemi-chan?" Ochako-chan questioned, and Izuku's staring at her with wide eyes.
"It's not the chemical energy that makes sleeping gas work." Akemi shook her head, "And once I lose focus, I can't use my quirk, and even if I do..." She winced.
A look of realisation draws across the three's faces, and Izuku flinched slightly in reminder of the USJ.
"And while I'm pretty sure Tenya won't spill this, it's... Better safe than sorry." Akemi continued, biting her lower lip. "I have mild PTSD from the Sky Egg Incident. I can't really deal with falling rubbles."
"Falling rubbles?"
"They trigger flashbacks." She explained, gulping, "And when they happens, I have minimal control over my quirk. Though I'm pretty sure he won't use this against me. Especially when I might kill someone with that." She shivers slightly, and looks back towards Izuku.
"Ready?"
"Yeah!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
"Start!"
Now as soon as the games begins, everyone is going to rush for our team. Izuku gritted his teeth, but it's alright.
"Now! Akemi!"
Sorcery: Overstress!
Through sending out an immense amount of psychological and mental energy, Akemi can stress her targets' brains till the point of a mental breakdown!
About half the closest teams stopped dead in their tracks, as Akemi began to redirect the light and let Dark Shadow grow so large he looms over the area.
"Well? Come over here! If you dare!"
Izuku gulped a little. He has a good idea where this intense fear came from in Akemi's life, and he didn't like it. He watched as two to three teams screamed and scrambled off screaming bloody murder, and others were immobilised as Akemi drained all the kinetic energy away.
"Good! Now—"
"Now we run!"
Akemi grinned and filled the air around them with golden energy, Dark Shadow picked them all up and gave them a boost in speed. Evading the immobilised teams they made it out the half-circle, it was then she spotted Todoroki's team, led by Iida and with Todoroki as the rider, heading their way. Her eyes instantly shifted to Momo's hands, which held several smoke bombs.
"Incoming!" She called out, tilting her head back as she fired up the winds around her, knew it. Tenya bailed her out. With a quick twitch of her hand she charged the items in Momo's hands with golden energy and the smoke bombs flew into her hands. Akemi tossed them behind her and into the crowd, putting several teams to sleep.
"That's close." She calls out, "Sold me out, didn't 'cha, Tenya!" She then grins and the winds around their team intensified.
"Now! Uraraka-san!" Izuku calls, and as Ochako-chan tapped them all Akemi forced the winds upwards and they flew into the sky, where Izuku gave her his hand and she poured his barrier into place.
"Kimura! Five o'clock!" It's Tokoyami, Akemi turned her head just in time to see Shiozaki Ibara's vines shooting out for their team, and eyes widening, she extended a hand, grabbed onto the vines and-
They wilted. Akemi cried out as the thorns dug into her hands but didn't let go until it's completely dead. A scream of terror was heard from the team on the ground, and Akemi winced.
'Shoot. Too much- need to let go--!'
And with a loud cry, Akemi fired off the excess energy into the wind cocoon around them and into fire. Izuku squawked and Dark Shadow screeched, Uraraka was screaming. But the fire was gone in an instant.
"Sorry- too much energy." She panted a little, letting the wind carry them a little closer to the ground, until-
A small bomb went off next to Akemi, and she flinched back.
Sleeping gas.
Shit.
It wasn't enough to put her out of action but enough to make her lose focus. Akemi was barely able to make the winds land them properly before a massive ice wall separated them from the other teams.
"I'll be taking that now."
Akemi's been shut down!
Up next, Chivalry Battle 2!
