For meager seconds, neither team said anything, even if it was almost instantly, the two quartets weighed the whole situation. It was obvious that they would meet at one time or another; but while Peter's team had been running all this time and dodging the other teams' various attacks against them, Reyes's team had just waited for the best time to attack.

Even though they were the team with the second best score of all, obviously behind the ten million, because they had some of the most powerful students in 1-A, including the two who entered by recommendation, they were not a very desirable target; the number of points was not worth the risk. And of course, this had been previously thought by the team's rider: Reyes. In addition to being extremely powerful, his tactical mind was also extremely sharp, he had hand picked his teammates based on their abilities to assemble the best team possible.

"Before the Battle of the Cavalry began, Reyes discussed the plan he had put together for his three companions, with each aspect taking into account the strengths of each;

Pietro, you will be our leader, responsible for mobility and acceleration - that part was obvious; Reyes had chosen the platinum because he was the fastest on the ground in the class and probably the school too, but there was a problem ...

Okay, but how are you going to accompany me? It's not like we have skates so we can just use my speed - the boy says while scratching the back of his head and looking up thoughtfully

That's where Seol comes in ... - Reyes responds and catches the attention of the colleague who looks at him - you will be responsible for both isolation and defense as well as locomotion, staying on my right side, creating an icy path so that you and Daniel can slide and use Pietro's speed - he says facing his colleague, they had been rivals in the race, but now they were partners and he believed in the girl's ability

And finally, Daniel - Danny turns around to pay attention, it's been a while since they called him by his name - you'll be on my left side, in the proximity defense and in the stunning

... – the boy says nothing, just nods

I will be the rider, using my chains as both forms of defense and attack

But, you have another power, don't you? - for knowing more famous heroes, Pietro knows the family of Reyes, the fame of his Quirk too

I have, but in combat I promised I wouldn't use it ... - he says and then looks at the audience, in which a figure leaning against the wall behind the stands was, in the distance it was not possible to observe many details, but the black leather clothes and the flaming skull were hard to beat "

— Come on! Pietro! - back in the present time, Robbie gives orders to his teammates and they shoot in the direction of Peter and his team. The brunette gives the sprinter the first order, who shoots at high speed, and then starts to command the other two - Seol, Daniel, get ready for the plan!

— Okay! - the girl screams and her right arm starts to create a thin layer of ice

— Understood! - Danny says too and starts to focus his Chi on his left leg

— Watch out! Pay attention to your surroundings - Peter tells his team when he feels other approaches and looks around to see three more teams heading towards them, Reyes was not the only one ...

— Now! - Reyes exclaims. He didn't want Peter to win, but he also didn't want others to hinder him to get the ten million points, but this was the perfect opportunity to do that and end the competition at the same time;

Just as Reyes screams, Danny, already with his "charged" leg, concentrated on his own vital energy, takes a step and stomps hard on the ground, making him split multidirectionally and launch a wave of energy and wind in all directions . Most of the teams nearby did not expect this and receive this wave of concussive and stunning energy that makes them stop because of the tremor and dizziness. The only team with defenses was Peter's, Tyrone quickly tries to create a kind of wall with shadows to protect himself from the blast of energy, while Peter used the thrusters on the gauntlets to balance himself from the tremor. But what the group did not expect was the shadow barrier to be removed as soon as it comes in contact with the blast, and that could not be good news.

Right after Danny's destructive wave, Seol kicks in, she stretches her arm, concentrating her power and the ice that just formed under the team for mobility expands, freeze bundles come out and head towards each of the nearby groups , which has the feet of those who were below completely frozen and unable to move.

Finally, Reyes takes advantage of the situation of pseudo paralysis imposed by his companion and uses his chains that come from his back to cleverly grab some bandanas while walking away, as a kind of plan B. And after he had achieved that and was closer to Parker's team, Seol creates an ice barrier in a circle, trapping the two teams in a mini ice arena, where only one will emerge victorious.

— WOW ! THIS MISERABLE IS A GENIUS ! BOY PULLED A QI CARD THAT IS OVER 9000 ! - Deadpool says jumping from his chair like the hyperactive child he is

— Not only that ... - Matthew comments when he realizes what had happened - he saw Miss Hee use this same strategy in the race and realized that he and others managed to escape easily; he adapted this technique with Mr. Rand's shock wave to facilitate freezing ...Not only that ... - Matthew comments when he realizes what had happened - he saw Miss Hee use this same strategy in the race and realized that he and others managed to escape easily; he adapted this technique with Mr. Rand's shock wave to facilitate freezing ...Not only that ... - Matthew comments when he realizes what had happened - he saw Miss Hee use this same strategy in the race and realized that he and others managed to escape easily; he adapted this technique with Mr. Rand's shock wave to facilitate freezing ...

— Nice comment! - Deadpool answers him

Even with everything that happened to the other teams, Peter's team couldn't be worse off; completely surrounded by ice, there was not much escape, and they were now face to face with probably the most powerful group in the competition. Furthermore, they were in the middle of the game, they needed to buy time to be able to maintain themselves and move on to the next activity.

In an attempt to buy time, with the teams just staring at each other, Peter decides to act, again pressing a certain combination of buttons on the gauntlet, he again activates the side thrusters of the robotic glove that leaves his hand and launches himself towards Reyes, even not surprisingly, it could give them a breach in their defense; or so the boy thought.

— Hee! – when he sees the projectile, and having already thought about this possibility, he shouts at the girl who extends her arm in the direction of the projectile, and it is then covered by a thin layer of ice, which makes it slow down until it reaches near Reyes, who catches him with his hand and tosses him to the side, towards the ground without any effort

— Hey! That's mine! - Riri complains when she sees a piece of her armor being thrown this way

— Damn ... they are both very powerful, it will be a problem ... - Peter says to watch the two colleagues stop their attack without making any effort

— And they are not our biggest problem - Tyrone says to Peter, without letting his opponents listen - the energy of Rand's blast is similar to Tandy's, one more and I will have no more energy to stop attacks...

"After Peter had called Tyrone to join his team; when the two were back together with the girls, while Riri assembled her equipment and adjusted the boot on Wanda's leg, the team rider passed each other's obligations on to the new member;

And you will be responsible for our long-distance defense; projectiles and stuff. - Peter speaks facing the taller brunette who listened to everything attentively but without facing Peter, until he lets out a laugh

Hehehe... – Tyrone chuckles and turns to his companion, only to see Peter looking at him confusedly - ah! I'm not laughing at the plan, it's a great strategy, but it's interesting how you gave me the best function based on my Quirk ...

How so?

Well, my Quirk makes me able to access a dimension parallel to ours, a black dimension, without light, lifeless and timeless called 'Darkforce', which feeds on the hopelessness and fears of all living creatures - Tyrone explains - with that I am able to transport myself through that dimension, teleporting myself and bringing part of the energy here to use it as a defense...

You see, this dimension travels almost orbiting ours, and the night is the point that it is closest to us. At night I can teleport and release more of that energy with less effort, but it increases my hunger ...

This hunger is caused by the very supply of the dimension, I am hungry for vital energy. But when it's daytime, my abilities are less and require more effort, however, my hunger is extremely controllable, and it won't drive me crazy

But how would you resolve this hunger? - Peter asks, wishing he had his notebook to write down all this new information

... – Tyrone then turns around until he finds his friend Tandy, talking to Gwen and Kei and points to her - Tandy's powers work in a similar but opposite way, her dimension is light and energy, from where she summons the daggers, the ' Lightforce ', a dimension fueled by people's hopes, I manage to feed on one of the daggers and stay stable. But in this competition, we better watch out for her

Why is that?

Because it is daytime and my energy is lower, Darkforce's power can be canceled out by contacting Lighforce energy out here, both cancel out

Got it, does anyone else know this information? - Peter asks, wanting to be sure how much information advantage they would have

Tandy obviously and I shared some things with Groot during the attack on EDR, as we were in the same place, I think he will not be a problem

Definetely"

It couldn't get any worse, or at least Peter and his team wished it didn't. Wanda's boot was practically unusable, so flying was almost impossible with only one side propelled. One of Peter's gauntlets was far and unusable at the time, which also diminished the functions and things the boy would be able to do. Finally, both Tyrone and Wanda were making a lot of effort in using their powers, Peter didn't know how long they would last. With that, one of Peter's only escapes was to try to think of a plan; it didn't have to be perfect, as they were isolated by the ice, it was unlikely that other teams would come and try to steal from them, but he didn't know for how long. Measuring his advantages, Peter comes to a conclusion and with that an idea ...

— I have a plan ... - the boy says to his teammates, but without stopping facing Robbie and his team - they had no way of knowing about Tyrone's lack of energy, let's use that and hold those 10 million points with everything that we have!

—Besides being the first placed in the practical exam, you are also the boy who was captured by the Carnage, aren't you? You will need to tell me, how difficult it must always be to be the offeret, the victim ...

—... – Flash says nothing immediately, but an extraordinary hatred for that boy arises, his way, his words, his actions, blinded by hatred, he announces - ok, change of plans, instead of stealing Parker, let's focus on destroying these damn extras ... - being surrounded by an evil aura and his opponent simply smiling as if he thought it was all funny

— Ok Odinson, it's done, right? This is no time to be teasing the guy. - One of the class 1-B boy's team members tells him, no longer wanting to poke the bear. The same was a boy of medium height, with dark skin and curly black hair.

— You're right, but what a little heroic thing I did ... - this Odinson says pretending regret - but be careful, goo boy, haven't you heard of professional heroes who became villains due to revenge?

— Ok Flash, this is not the time to lose your mind, we have to keep calm to get our bandana back - says Amadeus trying somehow not to let Flash explode, but it seemed too late

— Ragh! - in a howl, Flash slams his right hand closed on the left, releasing his Quirk, covering both his arms with black goo, a movement he loved to do - I'm calm, can't you see? - Flash says, really more calmly, but still with a psychotic way - let's go Amadeus! Let's get them!

— Here we go! - Laura joins in the euphoria of Flash and Amadeus can only sigh and try to send a comforting look to Kamala, who was also doubtful about the plan

— Ah ... my Lord ... - Amadeus sighs, but makes the move anyway; because he was already in Hulk form, it was easier to launch himself forward with an impulse and then stay at a good speed with the girls towards the opposing team

— Take that! - when he gets close enough, Flash extends his arm covered by his Quirk, with a main objective of removing the bandanas, but with a light touch of "if an injury occurs, I don't complain"

What the 1-A boy's team did not expect was the agility of the other team, when Flash was very close, they take a few steps back, at the perfect moment, avoiding the attack completely. Flash and his team still move a few meters before they can turn to another attack, and this time the dark boy tries to be faster, when they turn he increases the size of his arm and makes an attack in the direction of the opponents. For a measly second they stand still, but as soon as Flash catches up to them, his arm passes unharmed by them, undoing the spot where he touched, like a hologram image.

— What the !? - Amadeus asks

They soon stop scared and observe the team a little further ahead, with their rider, this Odinson, quickly undoing the image with a movement of his hands.

— What was that? - Kamala asks as Laura growled irritably

—It's his Quirk ... - Flash comments, stopping now his berserker way to think of a better plan, now considering that

"Loki Odinson, Quirk: Trickery. He has the ability to create visually perfect illusions of himself and everything he touches, or even make things appear to have disappeared. A true god of cheating if I may say so. "

— Wow, well guessing! Even though it is kind of obvious ... - Loki says still irritating his opponent - you certainly have great skills for direct confrontations, but my Quirk is only for those who cultivate a little brain too ...

—Grrr... – Flash's team tries again to charge in their direction, but before they can get close, another team of 1-B members appears, and the team's rider extends her hand and forms an orange gas cloud that instantly covers Flash's team for whole, not giving them visibility or suffocating them - * cof * * cof * but what the f*ck...

— Thank you very much Boylen! - Loki says sending a wink to the blonde girl who helped him, but she just rolls her eyes with the boy's action

— Ok Loki, we've done enough, we have enough to move on to the next stage - the dark boy says to the rider and the team goes away

— We have to get out of here ... - Amadeus says while coughing

— I'm trying! - Kamala says using her Quirk to try to blow away the smoke, with a giant hand and fanning, trying to shake off the gas - but it doesn't seem to have much effect ...

— We need to get out of here, we are now with zero points! - Laura comments angrily while Flash can only see the silhouette of the opposing team moving away and he hears the words of this Loki

— Oh, of course, no hard feelings, is there? - the boy says - remember, you were the one who provoked us, my friend Brokeridge who said that you would defeat everyone, right? ... - His voice fades until he disappears while Flash just thought he couldn't just win now, but had to become the ultimate champion

Even with everything going on between Flash and several members of class B, especially this Loki, both the audience and the narrators focused on the other end of the field and consequently on the action between Robbie and Peter's team.

— AND THE BOY DOESN'T WANT JUST A CANDY NO, HE WANTS THE WHOLE BOX ! - Deadpool says standing up and taking the microphone in his hands to speak - OUR FRIENDLY GHOST DOESN'T JUST WANT TO WIN, BUT HE WANTS THAT BEAUTY; (not the fourth row brunette) THE TEN MILLION BANDANA FROM THE BOY PARKER TEAM, AND HE WILL NOT REST UNTIL HE GETS IT!

The two teams were still at a distance and completely surrounded by the ice walls and the boundary line of the field, which prevented Peter's team from going further back; but they were not unprepared. Using a certain bluff as the amount of energy of each one, Tyrone had smoke exhaling from his back, Wanda had removed her Quirk from the pieces of armor, without the possibility of flight, mobility was not so restricted, and had concentrated on the pulsating red sphere in her hands, threateningly. Peter also had his left arm gauntlet raised, also for defense, and it seemed to work to some extent, as Reyes' team did not advance. And two professional heroes in the audience looked at the situation differently.

"Nice kid! Bluffing until time is up, that's strategy too ... "Peter's mentor thinks as he watches the confrontation of the teachers' cabin, with mirrored glass, thank God

"He's taking advantage of your weakness ... " Thinks the professional hero standing up against a wall. The man with a flaming skull in place of his head wore completely black clothes, boots, jeans, a black T-shirt and a leather jacket with spikes on his shoulders and a chain wrapped around his chest. Watch the Reyes team closely.

Reyes knew they had little time to act, but anyway, Peter was thinking strategically; by keeping his distance, Danny's skills wouldn't be so useful and by always putting himself more on his left side, Seol wouldn't be able to freeze them, as she would end up hitting Pietro. Besides, with all the defenses up, he didn't know if his chains would be enough ... he needed an opening;

— Guys, we have less than 60 seconds - says Danny, looking quickly at the screen showing the time - but I have a plan! Pietro, can you accelerate in the same way as during the attack on EDR?

— I can, but with the dirt floor I will have to make more effort to continue, maybe I will not be able to do it again - comments Pietro remembering the move he had made to escape the red villain

— What is the plan? - asks Reyes interested, since they were running out of ideas

— Just get ready to get the bandanna and Seol, you'll need to create the ice faster ... - comments Danny preparing for the acceleration

—All right! - the girl says already concentrating

— Mercury... –Pietro says already starting to vibrate his legs, which is momentarily wrapped in a blur - ACCELERATION!

As soon as the sprinter gets ready, he fires, at a speed seen by few so far, his feet sink into the ground and pieces of earth escape the sole of his sneakers. He goes so fast that the whole team becomes a blur for milliseconds, and because he wants to, Danny is the only one who can hold on well enough, since Seol is practically dragged by the speed. Even so fast, Danny waits until he realizes the exact moment they were close to Peter's team, and he then raises his left hand and focuses his chi on his middle and thumb fingers ...

— Watch out! They ... - Peter tries to warn, do something, but it's too late.

... and in a quick movement, Danny snaps his energized fingers.

A slight wave of air and energy is dissipated

Peter could feel where they were coming from, but for a millisecond, he feels nothing, his 'Spider Sense' disappears

And as soon as he regains general consciousness, even though this stupor lasted less than milliseconds, he feels that he no longer has the headband on his head, and looks back only to see Reyes' team stopped after braking, with the "horses" taking a deep breath, especially Pietro, and Robbie with the 10 million point headband in their hands.

— MY HOLY STAN LEE! WHAT WAS THAT!? WERE THEY HOLDING THIS TO THE END? - Asks Deadpool as the audience vibrated

After they stopped, everyone was impressed with Pietro's speed, but what only Reyes could notice was Danny's snap, and he made a point of pointing this out;

— What was that? - Robbie asks the blond companion

— Distraction ... - says Danny quickly looking at the other team, who looked at them with disbelief - a sumo technique, usually a clap, to divert the opponent's attention; using my Chi, I managed to overload Parker's receivers for a brief moment - he ends up looking at Peter with a more serious look, showing how much he was willing to win and improve

— AND IN A HISTORICAL TURN, TIME REYES STAYS WITH TEN MILLION AND TEAM PARKER SUDDENLY SEES NOTHING ! - (I don't think I need to say this is Deadpool speaking right?) At that moment, both Iron Man and the hero of the flaming skull react to the scene; the number 1 starting to sweat cold and the other just nodding his head satisfied

— Behind them! - with less than a minute left, Peter didn't have many options but to go after the headbands

— Danny can still drive us away with the energy ... - Tyrone communicates worried that there is not much energy left - it would be better if we tried other teams ...

— We can not! - Peter screams with determination and fury - we are stuck here and our only chance is to try to recover the ten million points! - and the boy was right, they didn't have many ways to escape the ice nest and neither time, and even if they did, they didn't know who had the bandanas with the most points

— So let's go! - Wanda says taking part of Peter's determination and propelling them forward with a burst of his Quirk - let's get our points back! - she says looking at Peter with a look of determination that the boy had only seen once;

"— I will become a professional, I will contract with a good agency and I will earn a lot of money - she says, squeezing the hem of her uniform and facing her three friends with a determination never seen before - so I will be able to make my mother live an easy life!"

— Wanda ... - Peter then turns forward and, in addition to thinking of the brunette beside him, thinks of his other two companions; Riri and Tyrone, who had trusted him up to that point, had submitted to his strategy and leadership as a rider, he could not disappoint them.

Moving forward, Peter, with his right arm released, contracts and closes his middle and ring fingers, in a position to launch his web and get the points back, he knew that everyone there had reason to want to win, but he refused to disappoint his companions.

Seeing Peter's approaching approach, something lights up inside Reyes, somehow he doesn't seem to think much, just acting on instinct; he raises his left arm with his forearm in front of his face, and flames start to burst from there, coming out of other pieces of his forearm, as if they were snakes and concentrating on a fiery sphere in his palm, he waited for Peter to arrive more close to release his attack.

Shortly after Reyes' team got the million points, on the other side of the arena the other teams were still struggling to get a spot in the top four. Others in the case, comfortable with their position, waited for time to run out without having to run after others;

— Second place, always second place ... - Loki says watching the score, but then sighing; there was nothing he could do in such a short time, so he would have to accept the result

— HEY! YOU F * CKER! COME BACK HERE! - Loki can hear the voice of the angry dog from 1-A coming from behind, he probably had managed to get rid of the gas

— You don't give up do you? Knowing when you are defeated is also important and ... - Loki loses his speech when he sees what happened

What the 1-B boy expected was the boy's team heading towards him, but the boy simply activated his Quirk, using his support companions, he stretches his limbs and literally catapults himself towards the opponent, like a ready lion for the attack;

— Not again ... - Amadeus says, when used as support again and see Flash flying towards Loki and his companions

— Rogers! – Loki exclaims - stop him!

—You don't have to speak twice. - The red-haired boy then quickly extends his arm, again creating the red and white shield, which appeared to be holographic and with a quick movement that he had trained for so long, launches it in the direction of the psychotic boy

"James Rogers, Quirk: Energy Shield. It is capable of creating an almost indestructible energy shield, which can also be launched and bounces on certain surfaces "

The shield only appeared to be holographic, because Flash certainly felt it hit his abdomen hard. Still in the air, the shield collides at high speed on his body, making him almost howl in pain, but holding back the cry and bending the body; he knew that in a short time he would fall due to his movements and the shield canceling each other out.

— Let's go before he recovers - says James and soon the team is leaving

—Not so fast! - before starting to fall and the opposing team moves away, Flash manages to throw the shield away and extend his arm with the black goo, stretching them enough to be able to grab some of the boy's bandanas from 1-B. He then starts to fall, but is held again by teammate Kamala, who holds him with her enlarged hand and brings him back to the team

— AND WITH THAT TOM CRUISE DOUBLE MANEUVER, TEAM THOMPSON IS NOW ON THE THIRD PLACE, KICKING TEAM ODINSON TO THE FOURTH !

With the opening created by Flash, other teams of class B, try to take advantage of the situation and try to steal Loki's last bandana, which was the only responsible for still being in the fourth position. But even so, both James and Loki continue to defend themselves; the redhead creating more shields and launching / barring attacks and the brunette creating illusions for confusion

— I hope you stay with this Loki bandana, it's the only thing guaranteeing that we will be able to move on to the next stage - comments Rogers when they managed to get away from the other teams

— I know that ... - Loki says irritably and gritting his teeth

— I said to warn you the next time you were going to jump ... - Kamala says to Flash as she brings him back and then mumbles something in Urdu, cursing the brunette with a "hollow head", but in the official language of Pakistan, he wouldn't know what it meant

— Ok, now let's regroup ... - Amadeus tries again a more peaceful tactic, but with no one to listen

—We're not done yet! - Flash says while holding Amadeus' head - let's become the irrefutable champions! After them!

"The class 1-B strategy was very well thought out - the lawyer who narrated the competition commented more to himself - but they did not consider it an aspect ..."

— Come on, time to charge! - Flash says with strategy in mind - elastic girl, hold us!

— It's Kamala! - she says a little impatient, but does what she was asked, raising her arms and holding everyone tightly, like a huge duct tape

— Come on avocado, time to jump! - he says then referring to Amadeus

— Amadeus man, it's not that difficult ... - he says and flexing his knees, he then uses all of his training and jumps up, with the route calculated to fall on the opposing team

— Rogers! - without even having to hear his name being uttered by Loki, the redhead quickly concentrates a lot of energy and forms a huge shield that touches the ground and covers his team completely, holding on to the impact ...

"—...the exotic cards that are class 1-A! - finish saying Murdock"

—Argh! – even though the shield was extremely resistant, they did not consider the Laura aspect; with her right hand claws out, on the way down, she tears the shield in half, her bone claws sliding by the energy, since aided by the fall, cutting it like cardboard

Using the literal opening, Flash once again stretches out his arm with goo enough to tear off the last bandanna around Loki's neck, which consequently was his team's bandana; which pushed them to second place and left Loki's team biting the dust

— AND AS A REAL NATURAL DISASTER, TEAM THOMPSON TAKES THE SECOND PLACE !

— We did it ... - Amadeus comments surprised - we did it!

— Uhuuuuuuu! - Kamala says excitedly as they move away from 1-B students

— We can now focus on defense and ... - Laura tries to say, but is interrupted

— No! - Flash says to his team, not completely satisfied yet - Let's go after Parker and Reyes ... - the boy says staring at the ice structure that isolated the two teams from the rest of the competition

Inside the mini ice arena, Peter's team quickly approached the opponents, who had to rely only on Reyes in defense, because when they were on the right side (left of the opponents) Seol would not be able to use her ice without hitting Pietro and both Danny and Pietro were already quite exhausted; leaving Robbie to defend them.

With his arm ready to launch the web, Peter watches Reyes starting to focus fire on his palm; the brunette even had a notion that the boy had this power, but he had never seen him use it, so he didn't know how powerful it was, but it didn't matter; his goal was not to face Reyes, but to distract him in order to create an opening.

As the bigger boy was already close, he looked like he was about to launch a burst of flame, but Peter had been quicker; in a first movement, when he extends his arm he fires the web of his wrist and it sticks to Reyes' arm, and in a quick movement, holding the end of the web, he pulls it to the side, causing Reyes to lower his arm and break his concentration, thus extinguishing his flames.

Right now, Robbie makes the mistake of looking to the side, to his arm, as if he is wondering what had happened, as if he were surprised to have used his own power; and taking advantage of this moment of distraction, Peter moves forward.

Seeing that his opponent had the bandanas facing backwards, obviously to hide their respective values; because it was the last one they caught, Peter deduces that the 10 million would be the one at the top. With the same arm of the web beginning to concentrate blood in the wound hole and drain, he stretches it towards Reyes' neck and holds the bandanna at the top, and using the momentum generated by the movement of his team to pull it out, bringing the millions of points back to his team.

— I got it! - Peter screams with all his strength and the audience goes crazy

— MY HOLY BOB ROSS ! WITH 11 SECONDS REMAINING, TEAM PARKER ONCE AGAIN GETS MORE POINTS !

— Ah Peter, please tell me that my eyes are deceiving me ... - Peter hears Riri say in a melancholy way, he quickly looks back to see the brunette staring at the bandana in his hand, and as soon as Peter looks to see what it was the problem he sees ...

That was not the 10 million bandana

It was a bandana of a measly 70 points !

— They tricked us ... - he says turning to Reyes' team; of course, some of the smartest students were there, obviously they would change the sequence so that it wasn't obvious where each bandana was

— Come on Reyes, watch out, this one got too close ... - Pietro comments to his colleague who still seemed shocked by something

—AND IN A NEWS SURPRISE, TEAM PARKER STILL HAS NOT ENOUGH TO PASS ! - Deadpool announces by showing the score of Parker's team, now in sixth place on account of the seventy points; it was not enough - THAT THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS ! - he says again and all the screens are replaced by a clock counting the final ten seconds

— Tyrone ! - Peter screams and the boy obeys, using everything he has to spread his shadows in the hope that they will achieve something

— Rand! – Reyes is faster, and Danny again energizes his leg, quickly lowering it, breaking the ground and launching the blast of force and energy in all directions; not as strong as the first time, but enough to ward off the shadows that quickly gathered near their feet

At the same time, the ice wall is broken by a Flash with a murderous instinct, which uses the walls still standing to catapult itself from its team, who came further back, towards the teams of Robbie and Peter, for not knowing who had the ten million points

— Wanda ! Riri! - Peter tries some more, he only had one chance, it was now or never

— Let's go ! - Wanda exclaims as she uses the rest of her energy in her Quirk to propel herself forward and Riri does as much as she can, activating the last propulsion charge in her boot to aid in the propulsion

—GHOSTY! – Flash screams when he sees Peter's team heading towards Reyes, deducing that he is the one who would have the 10 million point headband

Not wasting energy, Reyes summons some chains, placing them next to him, but waiting for the right moment to defend himself if necessary, he did not want to risk a move and leave himself open to one of the two teams as they approached

Peter

Flash

Reyes

The three members of this "triangle of rivalries" get closer until ...

— TIME IS OVER ! - Deadpool screams, moments before the teams meet - AND WITH THAT THE SECOND ROUND OF CHILD VIOLENCE COMES TO THE END !

While the crowd is going crazy for the action they managed to witness; different teenagers react differently. Peter, who stretched to reach before, contracts, with anguished face and withdrawing his outstretched arm, he had failed again ...

Flash, on the other hand, is irritated by the end of the game and just lands, flexing his knees and picking up his Quirk before standing up with a sulky face and clenched fists

— Flash are you okay? - Amadeus asks, back to his normal form

—Obviously not, idiot ... - Flash says quietly and the rest of his team doesn't even bother to approach.

— Damn ... - for some reason not known to others, Reyes descends from his position as a rider and looks a little at the ground with a kind of remorse, for the others he had won, there was no doubt, but for himself, the bitter taste in his mouth was not of victory

— THEN, TIME TO CHECK WHAT ARE THE FOUR TIMES WILL CONTINUE ON THIS CIRC ... I mean, festival! - Deadpool says and waits to see the final table before announcing;

"IN FIRST PLACE; TEAM REYES!..."

— Wow, we won, but it seems for very little ... - It is said drying the cold sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand

— Forgive me for my plan, I should have told you this strategy before. Especially for you Pietro, since it was you who had the most sequels ... - said Danny looking a little disappointed in himself

— Hey man, all good! - Pietro responds by hitting the blond boy on the shoulder - we only won because of you, in my view it was a valid risk - he says smiling, which relieves Danny a little

"IN SECOND PLACE; TEAM THOMPSON!..."

— Oof! Even if we didn't get in first, we managed to pass - says Kamala doing some stretches with her arms to avoid cramping

— It would be nice to have won, but second place is not so bad ... - Laura says putting her hands on her waist and sheating her claws

— Yeah, tell him that ... - Amadeus says pointing to Flash, who looked at his open hands while flexing his fingers, his killing look made it look like he was trying to crush his enemies' heads with his bare hands; no one dared to approach

"IN THIRD PLACE; TEAM ... STRYKER !? THIS IS WHAT I CALL A TRAP CARD..."

The team, from the boy in the general studies class, was further away from the last confrontation, having remained silent during all this time, and now comes out in third. The leader of this group distanced himself from his companions; two members of class 1-A and one of class 1-B that he had made no effort to remember their names;

—Thank you very much for your services ... - he says as he walked away from the three teenagers who now seemed to be seeing things differently ...

Back in the Parker team, the group leader was crestfallen while Riri helped him to remove the gauntlets properly, having already removed his boot and Wanda's. Not being very close to the brunette, the girl from the support class steps away to pick up the other gauntlet that Seol and Reyes had frozen and knocked over; how much consideration for the work of others ...

Peter then feels a hand on his shoulder and even without turning around, he recognizes by the size being probably Tyrone, he probably had come to blame or bring words of encouragement to him, Peter didn't know what would be worse to hear ...

— Parker ... - Tyrone says softly, but Peter retorts before he can say anything

— Sorry Tyrone, I was not the leader you deserved and ... - But this time, it's Peter the interrupted

— Parker! – Tyrone says a little more sharply and holds Peter's shoulders so that he turns and looks him in the eye. Peter can then see the smile on the boy's face and the same one pointing back, where Peter can see a Wanda with her arms behind her back, looking down and blushing

— I know I should have spoken before, but ... - Wanda then looks up and looks at Peter with those scarlet irises, still with flushed cheeks, but now with a slight smile - but I took this while you took the bandana from Reyes.

In the girl's hands, a bandana, but not any bandana, the bandana of the Reyes team, with almost 700 points combined, which, according to Peter's calculations, would put them in ...

"AND LAST, BUT SURELY NOT LESS IMPORTANT! IN FOURTH PLACE; TEAM PARKER!"

After seeing everything the team went through, everyone in the audience burst with happiness, shouting and celebrating what they had been through. Peter then emerges from his stupor, feeling physically and psychologically drained, he runs the few meters towards Wanda and, with all the barriers of shame being forgotten, puts his arms around the girl, hugging her tightly.

Wanda didn't know how to react, either from the news or from Peter's embrace. She even drops her headband while she starts to blush because she feels the boy's defined torso in contact with hers and his strong arms around her waist, but something takes her out of her trance; something wet on her shoulder, Peter's tears ...

— Thank you ... - he whispers to the girl who just smiles back and hugs him tightly

Tyrone smiled as he watched the two and Riri focused on trying to fix her gauntlet, but without a doubt, the four were very pleased to be able to move on to the next stage.

Reyes watched the boy Parker and his team from a distance. He then looks back at his hand; he had promised that he would never use that power, that he would become a hero without his help, but he saw that when he was cornered, a natural instinct, almost without any conscience; it was inside him, it was part of him, but he wouldn't let himself be shaken, he had a promise to keep after all.

Few noticed the man with the flaming skull leaving as soon as the end of the battle was announced; he was not completely satisfied, but it was enough for now.

—AND IT'S TIME FOR OUR ONE HOUR COMMERCIAL BREAK ! THAT COME THE ADVERTISEMENTS, THIS IS NOT CHEAP! - says Deadpool releasing everyone for the break - come on Matthew, let's go get some Chimichangas!

— I'm fine thanks - the lawyer responds before rolling out in the wheelchair

Back with the students, many were disappointed that they were unable to move on to the next stage, but in most cases the friends talked to each other after minutes of rivalry and tension;

— I'll tell you, I certainly didn't expect it ... - Gwen said while carrying an unconscious Kei under her arm after the battle between the dinosaur and Fireclaw, she walked alongside Tandy

— Laura, congratulations on making it through - Tandy says politely when meeting the brunette

— Thanks, but I admit that the Flash that did the most, that bastard ... - she says with a certain irritation in her voice, but smiling at the same time

— Well, I'm sure that ... - Tandy tries to speak, but something interrupts her

— DANNY! – dropping Kei on the ground and shooting at high speed, the blonde Gwen quickly jumps and holds on to her friend with all her strength

— Hey Gwen! – the boy was already waiting for that reception, so he was content to caress the head of the girl who now murmured something incomprehensible in his chest

— Danny that was incredible, I can't believe you had kept that movement all this time - Wanda says excitedly to be able to talk to her friend again

—Forgiveness for having used against you, it was not my intention to deceive you, but I just wanted to show my skills - the blonde says bending down a little as if asking for forgiveness

— You and Peter with all this business of being the best, boys ... - Wanda says crossing his arms and pouting

— Speaking of boys ... - Gwen regains her strength and leaps from Danny, now looking at Wanda with a malicious look - what was that hug huh Miss. Maximoff, or should I say, mrs. Parker?

—I-I-I-It's n-n-n-not what you're thinking...! – Wanda says blushing and trying to change the subject

Gwen couldn't resist, making fun of the two osmium lovebirds was almost as good as Danny's pancakes; ALMOST!

("Got it? Osmium, the densest chemical element ... and they are both dense" Gwen tries to explain the joke to readers

"No Gwen, nobody understood ..." the author replies

"Aff, let's study people, it seems like they stayed at home all year!" the girl says snorting

"Well ..." the author tries to explain himself

"I do not care!" she says and goes back to the story)

— But speaking of him - Danny interrupts the internal monologue that Gwen seemed to be having with the beyond - where is Parker?

In a not-so-distant corner, at one of the entrances authorized only for staff and students, two boys faced each other from opposite sides of the corridor. Robbie was leaning against the wall, with his gray eyes and neutral expression, but turned angrily, in the direction of poor Peter, who would stand up to more villains if they could get him out of the other boy's glare;

— You brought me here ... - Peter says, gathering enough courage to speak - now what?

Otherwise, the hero dressed in leather clothes and with the flaming skull head walked in the halls looking for the students' rest room, since he wanted to have a few words with a specific boy; until he hears a sound as he starts down a flight of stairs that makes him stop;

— Hey Johnny, I didn't spoke to you in what feel like ages! - the man in the red and gold armor says when he sees his colleague - why don't we catch up? I'll pay.

— Iron Man ... - says the strange voice that came from the skull, not exactly deep or thin, but distorted in some way and harsh
