So update on school, the school decided that we will NOT be returning for the remainder of the semester. Scary to see what remote finals will look like.
Takes place around Season 2, Episode 16.
I see that the next game is Cavalry Battle and instantly start thinking about who'd I like to be on my team.
"Okada be on my team!" I looked down to see Mineta drool slightly. Ew.
I walked away trying not to be cruel. Mineta's quirk would be useful in stopping other people from getting too close but I'd rather not have him be on my back.
I don't know how many times I can use my quirk and if I have to snap all three or two people at once that will also take more of my energy. I need strong teammates that will not rely on my quirk. Midoriya is worth 10 million points being in first place. No way I want to be on his team. Sweet boy but everyone will be going for him and I don't need to have that pressure on my back. My quirk can be used to escape easily, but I can't do it too often. If I use it too much I even if I make it to the next round I'll be too weak to put up a fight.
Shit. I used my quirk too much during the obstacle course. I didn't even get in first. I'm weak.
"Hey." Bakugo walked up to me.
"Hmp." Still butt hurt that he tried to blow me up. I turned my head to look at him but not before sticking out my tongue.
"Join my team." Bakugo said. "Kirishima and Sero need you too."
I looked back at him. Still annoyed but I wanted to help Kirishima. I didn't know Sero well but he seemed like a nice guy. He has tape on his elbows that will be useful for long distance and Kirishima can protect us from close range combat.
"Fine. But why me?"
"Your quirk. Just follow my direction."
I rolled my eyes. I didn't even have to ask that he was going to be the rider. "Bakugo, I can't use my quirk too often. I'm already getting too hot."
"I know. I felt the heat come off of you when you used your quirk on me." I blushed slightly. "Just be on the lookout and be ready in case we need you." He said. Turning to Kirishima and Sero as we got in formation. I would be on Bakugor right, Sero on his left and Kirishima is in the front.
"Hey, I'm Okada." I turned to Sero.
"Shut up!" Bakugo yelled down at me. I squished my face a little at how rude he was being.
I watched as Midoriya started to cry when Uraraka went over to him. So cute. I felt so bad as I watched all of our classmates ignore him but it was a relief to see that he had formed a team.
I could hear Present Mic start with the announcements. I looked over at Sero and smiled. He smiled back. "We got this."
"You bet we're going to win." Bakugo yelled at us from above. I rolled my eyes much to Sero's enjoyment. The words of a great leader.
"Let's get this party started," Present Mic announced. I felt myself tense slightly as we prepared ourselves to move. I felt Bakugo's urgency as we were aimed at Midoriya.
"Let's go!" Bakugo yelled. We were placed on the opposite side of Midoriya. There were others in our path.
We watched as Midoriya flew above us.
"Soy sauce, catch me!" Bakugo jumped off and flew in front of Midoriya. Tokoyami's dark shadow blocked Bakugo and Sero caught him into our arms.
"My name's Sero!" Sero reminded him for the eighth time already.
As Present Mic announced the scoreboard I heard a gasp in the crowd.
"Your class is too small minded. Think bigger." I looked over to see a boy from Class 1-B pull Bakugo's headband off. My stomach dropped.
"What did you say! Come back here!" Bakugo yelled. I couldn't help but sigh a little. Really Bakugo, I doubt the boy is going to give us our points back. We all heard what he said. Not too mention it is probably your fault everyone hates our class. No, I know it's your fault that most people hate our class.
The blonde hair boy explained his strategy to us. It was a good plan, a long term plan. He also brought up the sludge villain attack that happened to Bakugo before school began.
"Kirishima, we have a change of plans." We looked up at Bakugo, his rage emitting in all directions. "We are going to kill all these B-List Idiots."
I heard one of his teammates reprimand him for poking at Bakugo. The dark haired boy sayd his name was Monoma.
I rolled my eyes. I watch as two teams come up behind us. Present Mic announces the halfway point of the game.
"Bakugo. Let's move. We are surrounded." I cried out. Trying to get Bakugo focused.
"Shit." Sero said, also looking behind us.
"Bakugo!" I yelled again. Shoving him from behind. This is no time to freeze up now. I know he was angry but we need to keep moving. Like what Present Mic said. The game is halfway over and now we have no points.
We need to get our points back. Calm down." Kirishima turned to Bakugo.
I saw Todoroki's team among others head straight for Midoriya. In moments a blast of electricity from Kaminari surrounded the other teams, immobilizing them. This allowed Todoroki to freeze them to the ground. Smart move.
"Nice quirk you guys got there." Monoma said as Bakugo attacked. Monoma tapped Bakugo, Kirishima and I as we got in front of them.
Monoma blasted an explosion at Bakugo. Bakugo returned the favor with full force. As the smoke cleared I could see that Monoma had Kirishima's hardening quirk. This is not good.
"He can copy other powers." Bakygo observed. We start to move forward only to be stopped by a person's glue like substance coming out of their face mask. Shit. We are stuck.
"Do something!" Bakugo yelled as we watched Monoma run away. The other team was now in front of us.
"Everyone! Hold on." I yelled as I shifted my weight. I imagine all of them, connected to me, connected to each other. I made sure to exclude the glue from my range. I've only ever snapped two people at once but another person shouldn't be that much of a problem. I looked over at Monoma. Snap.
We get in front of him. "Grab it!" I yelled. Bakugo burst off of our shoulders. Kirishima yelled at him for his reckless behavior. Monoma's front horse, Tsuburaba, blows a shield stopping Bakugo.
"Wow. That's some quirk." I felt Sero shake a little suddenly.
"You gotta shake it off." I yelled watching Bakugo literally fight with air. The shield broke and Bakugo was able to grab some of Monoma's headbands. We were back.
"I told you to warn us before you jump." Sero said, pulling Bakugo with his tape.
"We're not done!" Bakugo said yelling at us.
"Elbow guy! Tape me. Okada, I need you to get us in front of those B-List losers again."
Shit. I braced myself again, feeling Sero's tape wrapped around Bakugo. "Now!" Snap. Bakugo jumped off as soon as we placed before Monoma and grabbed his last headband.
"Now Deku and Todoroki!" We turned toward the ice.
Bakugo burst forth again. "Run!" Kirishima called pulling us forward. Shit. Bakugo, being reckless again. We see as everyone is going to each other. We have to make it.
The alarm went off and Bakugo fell head first on the ground. We didn't win. But we made it.
"But we're movin' on, so it's all good." Sero said.
"I don't think our leader would agree with you, like at all." Kirishima rebutted.
Present Mic announces the winners. We were in second place.
I see Midoriya cry again as he realized he made it to the next round. Todoroki was clenching his fist in anger. I only used my quirk twice but the amount of people I had to move was insane compared to how I normally use my quirk. I'm just glad everyone is ok.
"Congrats Jun!" Mina ran over to me. "You did it!"
"Tha-" I fell.
"Yo, Okada, you ok?" Kirishima was at my side, letting my lean on his body.
"Yeah. Just need to rest." I smiled. "Like what Mr. Aizawa said. I'm going to nap." My eyes closed as I let myself rest against him.
I felt myself being moved. Whoever picked up was very gentle. I could hear the murmurs coming from around us.
I felt my weight being shifted slightly before I fell on to a soft bed. Someone put the fan on. I heard it gently hum as I drifted off to sleep.
This one is way shorter than I wanted it to be but I wasn't expecting it to be very long either. I like my chapters to be between 2k to 2.8k in length. I was thinking of combining the Cavalry Battle and the One-on-One together but then it would have been way too long. I felt like the Cavalry Battle episodes moved too fast and I was having trouble coming up with how I wanted to write this chapter.
