Chapter 17

"Now then, I will explain the rules of the Calvary Battle." Midnight said as the screen showed pictures of the upcoming event, "The time limit is fifteen minutes. Each team is worth the total of its members' points, and the riders will wear a headband with that number on their foreheads. Team's will try to grab each other's headbands before time runs out and try to keep as many points as they can. Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck up. So, the more you steal, the harder it will be to manage them! And the most important thing is that even if your headband gets stolen, or if your team fall, you're not out!"

"Which means…" Momo said to herself.

"…since there are forty-two people," Rikido summarized, "there will be ten or twelve teams on the field the whole time?"

"Talk about a crowded highway." Adrian commented.

"One strategy could be to let someone take your points first, so you'll be more free." Mina suggested.

"It's hard to say without seeing how all the points will get split up, Mina." Tsuyu replied.

"During the game," Midnight continued, "it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your quirks. But it is still a calvary battle. You'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose! You'll be removed immediately!"

"Drat." Katsuki said at hearing the rule.

"Now, you have fifteen minutes to build your teams. Start!"

Points don't really matter in my case. Izuku thought to himself as everyone looked for teammates. The people I want on my team are…

Break Room (Staff Only)

"The U.A. Sports Festival is more about simulating the competition they'll face as heroes than seeing how prepared they are at being heroes." Death Arms said to his two companions, Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady as he smoked a cigarette.

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Mt. Lady asked.

"In a world crowded with hero agencies, in order to put food on the table, there are times when you have to kick down others in order to show your stuff. That was what the Obstacle Course Race in the qualifier was, right?"

"Doesn't that just pain your heart?"

"You little-" Kamui Woods said annoyed, "You did that quite gleefully, remember?"

"On the other hand," Death arms intervened, "even if you're business rivals, there are many cases where you have to work together."

"Oh, that's just like the Calvary Battle!" Mt. Lady said, "If you win, your teammates also win. You have to think about compatibility and other people's quirks…If a give-and-take situation…"

"Coordinating with your sidekick," Kamui Woods added, "and joint quirk training with other agencies…"

"The kids are doing stuff now that will be their way of life after they become pros." Death Arms summarized.

"They've got it rough." Mt. Lady commented, "Especially the Stand Users."

Bakugo was surrounded by a few of his classmates, asking him to team up with them.

"Team up with me!" Rikido said.

"What? Bakugo, team up with me!" Mina stated.

"Please team up with me!" Sero stated. Katsuki understood that he needed a team to beat Izuku but didn't know who to team up with. Also, it seemed he wasn't the only one, besides Jonasan, who wanted to beat Izuku.

"I don't know what quirks you all have!" he said to them, "What?!"

"I can understand not knowing Class B's but- "Mina said, not able to finish the sentence.

"He doesn't pay attention to what's around him at all, huh?" Rikido added.

"Even though his personality is like that," Toshinori said, "He still came in fourth and has one hundred and ninety-five points. Considering the all-purpose use of his quirk, it makes sense that he's popular."

"Big jerk!" the Higashikata twins said at the same time while blowing raspberries at the far away Katsuki. This got the attention of the heroes.

"I take it your children are not very fond of Bakugo." Thirteen said to Hope.

"No, they're not." She answered, "Heck, who would be if they knew what he put Izuku through."

"That bad, huh?" Snipe said then looked to Hanabi, "If your husband was close to Midoriya, why didn't he protect him from Bakugo?"

"I thought the same thing." Hanabi replied, "His exact words were 'Izuku needs to fight his own battles and grow a backbone in the process.'"

"I've never met Bakugo before," Jouji said, "but after hearing about what he did to Izuku, just because he was quirkless, I really want to punch him."

"Don't stop there, little bro." Jolyne said with a smirk, "Do much worse. Make him cry uncle, break every bone in his body, making him wish he was- "

"That's enough Jolyne." Josuke said with a nervous smile, "Seeing Izuku now, I'm sure he finally got some courage to stand up to Bakugo. There's no need for you to cause any bodily harm."

"Doesn't mean I have to like it." Jolyne said with a pout.

I would feel really bad for Bakugo if he picked a fight with the Kujos. Toshinori thought to himself, I heard he was already put in his place by Mr. Higashikata. How would he be able to handle someone directly related to Jotaro Kujo?

"Hey, Todoroki chose his team already!" exclaimed Kirishima as he walked to where Katsuki was, "Bakugo, team up with me!"

"Weird Hair." Katsuki simply replied, not remembering Eijiro's name.

"I'm Kirishima! At least try to remember! My hair's not that different from yours! You're gonna be the rider, right? Then who'll be a front horse that can take your blasts?"

Katsuki could see the logic in what Eijiro was saying. With his hardening quirk, he could take hits from the other competitors as well as not get hurt while Katsuki is sending out his explosions.

"Someone with guts." He said.

"Not really, but yeah!" Eijiro replied, "Me, with my Hardening! I'll be a horse that'll never waver! You are gonna get it, right? The ten million?"

That brought a grin to Katsuki's face.

"Shoji…Shoji!" Mineta called to the multi-appendaged boy as he kept walking away, "I wanted to team up with a girl but it's no good! A huge majority of them are crowding about Jonasan, please team up with me! I'm tiny, so I can't be a horse! But no one will be my horse if I'm the rider! With your huge body and tentacles, you could cover my whole body, can't you?! Right? Right?!"

That got Shoji's attention and he turned to the shorter boy.

"That's a great idea, Mineta." He stated.

As expected, people are teaming up with their classmates, huh? Izuku thought to himself, Since no one has a good grasp of what quirks those in the other classes have. I need to do something quick too…about the current state where everyone's totally avoiding me!

Izuku tried multiple times to approach someone to form a team, but they all either declined or scooted away.

As I thought, Izuku thought while keeping a calm demeanor, no one wants to try to keep the points for the whole game. It'd be a better strategy to try to steal the points at the end. And unlike Todoroki or Bakugo, I didn't use my quirk, and they know my Stand, even it's balanced out in everything has limits, so they don't have any confidence in me.

Izuku started to think about how to survive the next event if he ended up alone when a voice pulled him from his thoughts.

"Deku!" turning to the source he saw it was Ochaco. "Let's be on a team!"

"Uraraka!" Izuku exclaimed with surprise, "I-Is it really okay? Everyone will probably be after me because of my ten million points. Though you already know that JoJo is coming after me."

"If we run away the whole time, you'll win, right?" Ochaco suggested.

"My Stand may be powerful, but it has its limits. I think you're overestimating me."

"Like I would! Anyway, it's better to team up with people you get along with!"

You're a life saver! Izuku thought in his mind while unintentionally making a funny face.

"What's wrong?" Ochaco asked, "You look ugly, you know."

"Oh nothing…" Izuku replied while looking away, blushing at the same time. "It's just that you're so bright that I can't look straight at you…Actually, I wanted to team up with you too. Thanks! For teams, it's best to be with people you can communicate with smoothly, right?"

"Yup, yup!"

"Actually, with your quirk and one other person…I thought of a plan!"

Izuku then walked over to where Iida was, with Ochaco following him. Once the three of them came together, Izuku explained his plan.

"The three of us would be horses with Iida in the front." Izuku said, "And then, if we use Uraraka's quirk to make Iida and me lighter, we'd be able to maneuver easily."

"I see!" Ochaco exclaimed.

"It's better to have someone physically strong as the rider, but I haven't decided who…Anyway, this is all I could think of to keep running away until the end…"

"I expected no less, Midoriya…" Tenya said, "but I am afraid I have to refuse."

That surprised Izuku and Ochaco.

"Ever since the entrance exam, I just keep losing to you. You are a wonderful friend, but that's why, if I keep following you, I will never grow. Todoroki, Bakugo and Yaoyorozu aren't the only ones who see you as a rival."

Izuku just gave him a knowing smile, agreeing with Iida said. The said boy then started to walk away to where Todoroki was while saying, "I will challenge you."

"Iida…" Ochaco quietly said then looked to Izuku, "Aren't you upset?"

"A little," he replied, "but I sort of expected it to happen. Either way, I can still count on Haru and Adrian to join."

"Yeah, about that…" Izuku heard the voice of Adrian and turned to see him and Haru, "we won't be joining you either."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, as much as we want to join you, we also want to win by defeating you. So, we joined an opposing team."

Ochaco was shocked to hear this. The friends that stuck with Izuku since coming to UA were joining a different team. She watched as both of them walked away after saying what they wanted to say.

"Don't take this personally Izuku." Adrian called out.

"See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya!" Haru called out in a cheerful tone.

Izuku made a T with his pointer fingers and shouted "Traitors!"

Ochaco, though, saw the smile on his face when he shouted. He understood where they were going with this. To them it wasn't to put the other down or to advance to the finals. To them, it was a friendly competition. Izuku understood that, though that did not free him from the predicament he was in. He and Ochaco were two members short and time was almost up.

"As I thought, this is great. You stand out. No pun intended." Said a voice behind them. Turning to the source, they saw that it was the who made it past through the race with her gadgets, and she was very close to Izuku's face. "Team up with me, person in first place!"

"Aaah! So close!" Izuku exclaimed, "Who are you?!"

"I am Mei Hatsume, from the Support Course!" the girl, Mei, replied while taking off her goggles, shower her eyes which were wide and sloped upwards with some notably long upper eyelashes, her irises yellow with a cross in the center, making them look somewhat like scope lenses.

"Oh, that weird person from back then." Ochaco said, "The Mega Man Queen, as Adrian called you."

"Wasn't that the blonde with the knight Stand?" Mei asked. Ochaco answered with a nod of her head. "I like it. Anyway, I don't know you, but let me use your position!"

She's honest! Izuku thought to himself as Mei got in his face, again.

"If I team up with you, then I'll inevitably become a part of the team everyone's watching most, right? If that happens, then my super cute babies will inevitably be seen by the big companies. That means, in other words, that those big companies will see my babies! It also helps to know that you are a student of the one and only Jotaro Kujo!"

"W-Wait a minute." Ochaco said, "Babies and big companies? What are you- "

"And I think you guys will also benefit."

Oh, she's not interested in me… Ochaco thought to herself. Mei then brought out a suitcase, opening it to show the many gadgets that she had created.

"The Support Course develops equipment that helps heroes deal with their quirks." She explained, "I have a ton of babies, so I'm sure you'll be able to find one that you like!" She then noticed that Izuku was looking at a certain one and held it up. "Oh, has this one caught your eye? I made this based on a certain hero's backpack, adding my own original twist."

"Could you be talking about the Buster Hero, Air Jet?" Izuku asked, "I like him too!"

"Really?"

"Yeah, his agency is close, so I went to tour it before."

I see. Ochaco thought to herself, They're already getting along.

"I detect a hint of jealousy." Adrian said to Haru with a smile while pointing in Izuku's direction.

"Please stop trying to play Matchmaker and focus." Haru replied while turning Adrian towards their team.

"By the way," Izuku said to Mei, "if your teaming up because of popularity, wouldn't be a better idea to team up with JoJo? He's way more popular than me."

"JoJo?" Mei replied before realization kicked in, "Oh! You mean Jonasan Jouichirou Yaoyorozu! Best Boy Magazine's favorite poster boy! True, he is popular, but he only got second place while you got first. Also…"

She didn't finish and just looked a certain direction. Izuku and Ochaco followed, the boy almost laughing at the sight. Jonasan, with a smile on his face (to hide his annoyance) was being swarmed by multiple girls from the C-K courses, begging to be on his team.

"JOJO! PICK ME!"

"NO ME! I'VE GOT A DEFENSIVE QUIRK!"

"I'VE GOT ONE BETTER THAN HERS!"

"NO, MINE IS BETTER!"

"NO, MINE!"

Yare yare daze. Was the only thing going on in Jonasan's mind.

Okay, I just need one more member. Izuku thought to himself and started to look around. It looks like everyone's pretty set on their teams already, huh? No, that's fine. The power our team's missing…the one who can fill that spot is…

Once he spotted who he was looking for, Izuku walked up to that said person and simply said, "You!"

"Almost everyone here has their eyes on Class 1-A." a blond boy from Class 1-B was saying to his teammates, "Why is that? And like Tetsutetsu said, Class A is full of themselves about it…well, all but Izuku Midoriya. He's the exception. It's strange, isn't it? The only difference between us and them is that they fought villains and only one of them is humble about it and he was trained by the most brutal Stand User to ever exist. Why were those of us in Class B happy with being in the middle of the pack? Let's let that arrogant Class A know, guys."

"Now then, it's about time to get started!" Midnight proclaimed as the timer reached zero.

"Come on, wake up, Eraser!" Present Mic said, waking up the bandaged hero from his nap. "After fifteen minutes to form teams and talk strategy, thirteen calvary teams are lined up on the field!"

"There are some interesting teams out there." Aizawa said.

"Now, raise those battle cries! It's time for U.A.'s bloody battle! Light the signal fire!"

"Yes!" Tokoyami's Dark Shadow exclaimed excitedly. He was the front horseman while Ochaco and Hatsume were the rears and Izuku was the rider, wearing the headband with total number of points for his team on his head. He then remembered something Jotaro said to him.

Teammates are important. Jotaro had told him, Learn to work with their strengths and help them to overcome their weaknesses. Through that, will you achieve victory.

"Uraraka." Izuku said to Ochaco.

"Yes!"

"Hatsume." The said girl just giggled.

"Tokoyami."

"Yeah."

"I'm counting on you!"

On the other side of the stadium Shoto was prepared with his team and his points ready. He thought back on what his plan was in order to win.

(Flashback)

"I chose you three because I thought it would be the most stable formation." He said to his teammates, "Kaminari, you'll be the left wing, keeping the enemy away with your electricity. Yaoyorozu, you'll be the right wing. You are in charge of insulation and assisting with defense and movement. Iida, you'll be in front as the main source of mobility and physical defense."

"So, you will attack and create diversions with ice and fire, then, Todoroki?" Iida asked.

"No." Shoto replied while looking down at his clenched left fist, "In battle…I will never use my left."

(Flashback End)

I will beat you, Midoriya. Shoto thought to himself as he turned towards the stadium. He took his place as the rider and wrapped the headband around his head. He then looked down at Momo. "Yaoyorozu, I apologize since you'll be facing off against your brother."

"Don't be." Momo answered, "He would welcome any challenge."

The name of the teams and their points came up.

Team Midoriya-10,000,310

Team Tetsutetsu-695

Team Bakugo-645

Team Todoroki-595

Team Mineta-405

Team Hagakure-370

Team Yaoyorozu-320

Team Monoma-285

Team Shinso-275

Team Kendo-205

Team Watanabe-165

Team Yui-150

"All right! You've made your teams, right?!" Present Mic exclaimed, "I'm not gonna ask if you're ready or not!"

"Tetsutetsu." Monoma said to his classmate, "No hard feelings, right?"

"Yeah!" Tetsutetsu replied.

"Now, let's go!" Present Mic exclaimed, "Counting down to the brutal battle royal! Three!"

"We're aiming for…" Katsuki said while cracking his knuckles.

"Two!"

"…one thing." Todoroki stated.

"One!"

"Start!" Midnight shouted. Everyone then charged in Team Midoriya's direction.

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

"Midoriya, I'll take that!" Toru shouted.

"An attack without delay, huh…" Tokoyami said while Dark Shadow emerged, "The fate of the pursued…Make your choice, Midoriya!"

"Of course." Izuku said, "Our move is to run away!"

"I won't let you!" Tetsutetsu shouted. His teammate, Juzo Honenuki, used his quirk to make the ground like quicksand.

"What is this?" Ochaco exclaimed.

"We're sinking!" Izuku said, looking towards Team Tetsutetsu, "It's that person's quirk, huh?"

"All right!" Tetsutetsu shouted.

"It's no good…" Ochaco shouted, "I can't get out!"

"Uraraka! Hatsume! Turn your faces away!" Izuku said and then pressed a button. Both girls complied with his order and the jetpack on his back roared to life. It then let out a stream of air, lifted them out of the quicksand and they started to fly over the arena.

"He flew?" Tetsutetsu said with shock, "Thanks to the support course, huh? Follow them!"

"Jiro!" Toru said.

"I know!" the girl replied and had her jacks darting towards the airborne team. Izuku saw this coming and his Stand appeared to deflect them, but the opportunity was stolen by Dark Shadow, who swatted the jacks away.

"Tokoyami!" Jiro exclaimed.

"Good!" Tokoyami said, "Dark Shadow, keep watch over our blind spots!"

"Got it!" the sentient quirk replied and pointed behind Izuku, "You remember that! I'm the defense not you! Wait till we cross paths with another Stand User!"

Is Dark Shadow…trying to argue with Agile Emerald? Izuku thought with some humor. He shook off the thoughts and turned to Tokoyami. "Wow, that's so cool! The defense that we were lacking…You're more than making up for it with your omnidirectional mid-range defense! That's amazing, Tokoyami!"

"You're the one who chose me." Tokoyami simply said.

"We're landing." Ochaco stated and they smoothly touched while being weightless plus the hover boots, she was wearing.

Making everyone other than Uraraka weightless, Izuku thought to himself, so our weight is just Uraraka plus the equipment and clothes.

"What do you think of my babies?" Mei asked Izuku, "Aren't they cute? Cuteness can be made, you know."

"Excellent mobility!" Izuku replied, "The babies are amazing, Hatsume!"

"Right?!"

"It's because I'm making them float…" Ochaco whispered to herself with a hint of jealousy.

"We're going after them too!" Toru exclaimed, "Come on, Jiro, time to get revenge!"

"Hey, wait Hagakure!" Saito shouted, "Your headband's gone!"

The invisible girl noticed what he meant, immediately.

"When did that happen?!" she exclaimed. At another part of the arena, Neito was spinning the points, he had acquired from team Hagakure, around his index finger.

"Profiting while others fight." He said.

"Now then," Present Mic exclaimed, "even though barely two minutes have passed since we started, it's already turned into a free-for-all! Fights over the headbands breaking out all over! Ignoring the ten million points and going for second to fourth places isn't bad either!"

Some laughing was heard and Izuku looked behind him to see Shoji charging towards them, with his appendages looking like they were covering something. The laughing wasn't coming from him though, it wasn't even his voice.

"Fighting?" it said, "No, this is…a one-sided pillage!"

"Shoji?!" Izuku exclaimed, "What? By himself? But it's a team battle!"

"Let's put some space between us for now." Tokoyami suggested, "We can't be caught standing still against multiple opponents!"

"What?!" Ochaco tried to move but then felt that her left hover boot was stuck.

"What's wrong, Uraraka?" Izuku asked.

"I'm stuck!" Ochaco replied. Looking down, Izuku saw what looked like a purple ball, or grape to be precise.

"That's Mineta's…" he said while looking around, "Where'd it come from?"

"From here…Midoriya…" Mineta said. Izuku looked to see him peeking out from behind Shoji's appendages.

"What? Is that allowed?" Izuku asked with shock.

"It is!" Midnight replied.

Izuku then noticed something dart towards him. He reacted quickly and dodged it. It then retracted, revealing itself to be a tongue. The owner then showed her face from inside the makeshift shelter.

"I didn't expect any less from you, Midoriya." Tsuyu said.

"Asui, too?" Izuku said with shock and amazement, "That's amazing, Shoji!"

"Call me Tsu!"

Both then started to repeatedly throw their projectiles at Izuku. He dodged with difficulty, then Agile Emerald appeared and acted as his shield.

"Team Mineta makes use of the overwhelming difference in their sizes!" Present Mic exclaimed, "They're like a tank! However, their attacks cannot penetrate through Agile Emerald!"

"Midoriya, get us out of here!" Tokoyami exclaimed. Izuku did just that, pressing the jetpack button and flying off. In doing so, though, Ochaco's left hover boot was pulled apart.

"My baby was torn apart!" Mei exclaimed.

"Sorry!" Izuku apologized, "But we got away!"

Hearing explosions, looked to see Katsuki flying after them, Iron Man style. He was using his explosions to propel himself to the team.

"Don't get carried away!" Katsuki shouted as he reached for the headband, "You're mine!"

"Agile- "Izuku started before he was interrupted.

"I'm the defense here!" Dark Shadow shouted and blocked the explosion that Katsuki let out.

"What's with this guy?" Katsuki said as he started to fall.

"He's gotten separated from his horsemen!" Present Mic shouted, "Is that okay?!"

The explosive boy was then caught by a strand of tape, compliments of Sero, and brought back to his team.

"It's a technicality, so it's okay!" Midnight exclaimed, "It wouldn't have been if he'd touched the ground, though."

Team Midoriya landed with less grace than last time.

"Thanks, Uraraka!" Izuku said.

"It's hard to control with just one foot." Ochaco replied.

"Yeah, I know."

Landing like this is insufficient… Izuku thought to himself, We can't run to the air anymore. We'll have to survive with this, our increased mobility Uraraka's Zero Gravity and with Tokoyami's Dark Shadow. I have not doubt that Haru and JoJo are waiting for the right moment to pounce. I also must be ready.

Break Room (Staff Only)

"As expected, everyone's after the first-place team," the heroes heard Present Mic say from the TV, "and Class A is in hot pursuit! Everyone's got skills!"

"Those Class A guys are good." Death Arms stated, "Especially the students of Jotaro Kujo."

(Waiting Room)

So far, so good. Katsumi thought as he watched the event play out, He knows not to let his guard down, especially with so many people after him. Seriously though, ten million points? Who puts that big of a target on a first year's back?! He should have only had 210 points! Get your math straight!

(U.A. Stadium)

"With all those flashy moves, even just watching is fun!" One of the camera men said as pictures were being taken. "There's this much difference just from their experience fighting villains!"

"Now let's take a look at each team's points…" Present Mic announced, "It's been seven minutes! Here are the current rankings up on the screen!"

The results they saw…were not what they were expecting.

1st. Team Midoriya-10,000,310

2nd. Team Monoma-1,300

3rd. Team Yaoyorozu-1,000

4th. Team Tetsutetsu-695

5th. Team Todoroki-595

6th. Team Watanabe-520

7th. Team Bakugo-0

8th. Team Mineta-0

9th. Team Hagakure-0

10th. Team Shinso-0

11th. Team Kendo-0

12th. Team Yui-0

"Huh?"

"It's kinda…"

"What?" Present Mic spoke, "Wait a minute! Other than Midoriya, Class A isn't doing so well…"

"Class A is too simple minded." Monoma said as he tied Team Bakugo's points around his neck with the other points.

"He got us!" Mina exclaimed.

"What'd you say, Lemonhead?" Katsuki shouted, "Give that back! I'll kill you!"

"Since Midnight said it was the first game," Monoma replied, "it wouldn't make sense for them to cut a ton of people in the qualifier, right? Assuming they'd keep about forty people for the next stage, we just made sure we stayed within the number as we ran, observing from the back the quirks and personalities of those who would be our rivals. There's no point in being obsessive over winning the in prelims, right?"

"You did this as a class?"

"Well, it wasn't a consensus, but it was a good idea, right?"

"Hey, they're coming!" one of Monoma's horsemen said at seeing another team coming towards them.

"A few of my classmates have teamed up with different people." Monoma continued, "One of them being the younger Yaoyorozu. It seems he's playing it safe, only getting enough points so that he can pass instead of charging for the top score. Being a student of Jotaro Kujo and having a Stand that looks like Star Platinum, he's a wildcard with unknown abilities. Thankfully, we're not his targets, so we're in the safe zone. It's better than going after a temporary 'top' like a horse with a carrot waving in front of his face. I'm also hoping to face Midoriya in the last event, though. He's a really humble person, possibly the only humble one in your class. Instead of putting others down, he's telling them to give it their all, encouraging them to a great degree to go beyond their limits. Now that is someone who has the potential to be a hero."

Hearing about Izuku being a better hero candidate than him and being called a horse made Katsuki's eye twitch. He was getting angrier at the Class B student by the minute. Monoma, however, wasn't finished taunting the Class A hothead.

"Oh, while I'm at it, you're famous, aren't you? As the victim of the sludge villain incident! Tell me about it sometime, about how it feels to be attacked by villains once a year."

That was the last straw for Katsuki.

"Kirishima…" he growled, "Change of plan…"

He teammates looked him in shock and fear. The angry face he was making rivaled that of the one he usually wore. They could immediately tell that he was super angry.

"Before we get Deku," he stated, "let's kill all these guys!"

Monoma just smiled in response. Not too far away, Izuku had heard everything, with the help of his Stand, of course.

Class B had a long-term strategy that involved throwing the qualifier, huh? Izuku thought to himself, It's true they could leave a stronger impression by overturning the mood that favored Class A before the Sports Festival started. But based on their way of thinking, it means they won't necessarily come after me. So that means I only have to mostly worry about JoJo.

"Everyone," Izuku addressed his team, "it'll be easier to run aw- "

He was interrupted when his team comes to a sudden stop. He looks to see that Team Todoroki has gotten in their path. Both teams weren't moving, just staring at each other, daring one or the other to make the first move.

"It won't be that easy, huh?" Izuku said to himself, "Should've known."

"The Calvary Battle is about to enter the second half!" Present Mic stated, "In this unexpected rise of Class B, who will wear the ten million in the end?!"

"I'll be taking that now." Shoto said.

"You're welcome to try." Izuku retorted.

AN: Hello everyone. I am so sorry for the loooooooooooooooooooong update. I have had a very busy schedule, mostly at work, and it's about to get busier with school. That won't stop me from doing my stories though. I intend to try and keep up with posting more chapters. Also, I am doing a Christmas special for this story. Expect it either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Thank you for your continued patience and support. Until next time, Sentinel Prime, out!
