Galadriel laughs like she never has before. Watching everyone try to take her blindfold and defeat her in any way they can... It was hilarious for her and a refreshing sense of youthful innocence she's never had before. Galadriel teased and smiled at anyone trying to get her.
Behind her, Midoriya was in awe of her. Instead of being afraid of everyone trying to defeat her, she relishes the challenge and brings a smile to her face.
"She's so cool."
"I've got you." Kyoka asserted, directing her eyelobes towards Galadriel's group.
However, a giant shadow appeared in front of her and deflected her attack.
"Tokoyami." She roared.
"Well done, partner." The raven man said.
"We take this opportunity to steal their headbands?" Asked his creation.
However, an intense light blinded them and made Dark Shadow scream in pain. Kyoka was not alone and one of her partners had come forward to help her.
"Hey, I'm coming to get you!" Hagakure said, sounding excited to have the chance to prove herself.
"Ah, the evil naked girl," Galadriel said, staring at the invincible girl.
"What?! I'm not a pervert!" said the perverse girl.
"Well, you run naked… So I think otherwise." Galadriel says.
"I…I'm wearing pants." Toru affirmed, while blushing, as did Sato.
"Stay focused." Kyoka ordered.
Suddenly a projectile swooped down on them and exploded at their feet to release a cloud of smoke.
" What is that? " Koji wondered.
At that moment, something approached Toru and managed to grab her blindfold.
" WHAT? " The young girl wondered, seeing itdisappear through the smoke.
"AND A TEAM HAS ALREADY LOST ITS HEADBAND." Present Mic shouted.
Immediately, Toru's team was ranked behind on the scoreboard while their points were 0. On the contrary, seeing their points accumulate, Shoji's team was propelled to second place.
"How did he do it?" Sato wanted to know, seeing him run away. "And why is he all alone?"
Trying to run to a quieter place, Shoji felt movement in his back, as he left an opening between his arms, to allow the people he was hiding on his back to see the blindfold Asui had just stolen.
"Ribbit! With that, we go from fifth to second place."
"Awesome." Mineta rejoiced. " we will win. "
"Finally, you came up with a good strategy, Usopp." Shoji assured.
Grinning vainly, Usopp stared out of hiding, while wearing what looked like an IRL headset. Acting like telescopic sights, his helmet allowed him to know the identity and power of every person he could see.
"Not bad! This partnership with Hatsume is ultimately not a bad thing! With this equipment, you can't be surprised by the enemy."
Suddenly, a pair of horns appeared in front of them and Shoji blocked them in time stopping them with his many hands.
Running towards them a pony-like girl screamed.
"Your points are ours."
"Give them to us or you'll regret it." A boy, who looked like a yeti, asserted.
"Class 1-B." Shoji recognized them.
" Okay ! Plan R ! " Shouted Usopp. " RETREAT. "
Immediately, Shoji turned around and started running away. At first surprised, the other team began to follow them.
"Hey, where do you think you're going?"
In response, Shoji's arms opened and they could see Usopp aiming his slingshot at them.
" EXPLOSING STAR ! "
Seeing the projectile hurtling towards them, Pony created a new pair of horns which flew towards the attack, before causing an explosion.
"That's not how you'll defeat us." She assured, dashing unhesitatingly through the smoke.
"Hey, take it easy." The boy on her back implored.
Unfortunately, as soon as his team left the smoke Pony felt something stick under her feet, as did her teammates.
"Hey, what's that?" Jurota roared, noticing that he had stepped on a super-sticky purple ball.
Showing up next to Usopp, Mineta made a face at the foursome.
"We got you."
"The pervers dwarf?"
Then, stopping, Shoji allowed Asui to extend her tongue so she could retrieve the blindfold from the opposing team. Nevertheless, the boy on Pony's back didn't panic and just made scales appear on his body.
" REVERSE SCALES !" Rin shouted, pointing his arm at Asui's tongue.
Striking him, Asui couldn't help but wince, feeling the sharp scales hurt her tongue, forcing him to pull it back.
"Ribbit...I can't take his blindfold without another diversion."
"They're immobilized." Usopp assured. "I can find something for..."
But before they could do anything, an arm attacked Rin from behind and hit him with enough force to knock him out. Surprised, his comrades saw him fall to the ground, while his blindfold had disappeared.
Bringing his arm up to him, Luffy held the blindfold between his fingers, while the boy on his back grabbed it.
"Perfect." Shinso assured. "One more headband and we can get into the top 4."
Yet, almost ignoring him, Shoji's team just stared at the person who came second in the first round.
"MUGIWARA!"
Growling, Usopp readied his weapon, even though he knew he had little chance of defeating Luffy.
"The only option we have is to flee."
However, he quickly noticed Luffy's glazed eyes, while his face was oddly stoic.
" Luffy ? "
Looking at Usopp, Shinso looked thoughtful. Then, finally, he ordered.
"We're going to find another target."
Immediately, his two other horses, Ojiro and Nirengeki, pretended to turn around. However, due to the immobility of the third horse, Shinso's team couldn't move.
" What ? "
Staring at the opposing team in front of him, Luffy was in a fighting stance, ready to fight. Seeing him do so, Shinso ordered him.
"I said we're leaving! Mugiwara, that's an order."
Luffy remained in the same position. However, he ended up turning around so abruptly that Shinso nearly fell from his position.
"Easy, asshole."
Suddenly, an explosion was caused by Todoroki's team fighting. And instinctively, Luffy rushed to where there was a fight.
"NO!" Shinso roared. "Left! I said left, DAMN IT!"
Usually, Shinso was a quiet person who knew how to manipulate people into obeying him. However, it was the first he had come across someone like Luffy. Usually, his puppets obeyed him without the slightest problem. But he had to at least repeat the same order twice for Luffy to obey him.
Not to mention that he had a bad habit of running sharply towards any place that Shinso would call dangerous.
" That idiot. " Shinso growled. " I chose him because he was strong and he seemed incredibly stupid to me! Usually, I can easily control guys like him! Why can't I? "
"LEFT!" He shouted, seeing Luffy pretend to run in another direction.
Escaping another onslaught from Tetsutetsu's group, Galadriel's group seemed to be slowing down as more people try to get them.
"Barely three minutes have passed, we have to hold on a little longer. How are you guys? Galadriel asked.
"We're doing well so far!" Uraraka said with sweat dripping from her brow.
"Having the most points is as much a disadvantage as it is an advantage." Tokoyami asserted. "It is true that we are first in the standings but... we also have every chance of finishing last before the end."
"Oh…don't be pessimistic." Galadriel said, patting him on the head.
"Don't do that." The boy growled uncomfortably.
"Huh... don't you like being patted on the head?"
"I don't like people touching my head." Tokoyami said simply. "It brings back bad memories."
"Huh? People laughed at you because you were different from them?"
"Galadriel to our right!" Midoriya shouted.
A pair of giant hands tried to grab them. Unfortunately, Kendo saw her target escape, while Uraraka used her power to float her team.
" FAIRY FURY ! " Shouted Galadriel.
Immediately, dozens of luminous spheres appeared around her, before being launched towards the Kendo team. hitting the ground, the explosions the attack caused knocked them back, allowing Uraraka to land unhindered by anyone.
Nevertheless, explosions were heard, as a new team approached them.
"I got you now, you white-haired bitch!"
Galadriel turns to see Bakugo and his team.
Even a blind man could have seen that he had no other intention than to steal her blindfold.
« Kacchan! » Shouted Midoriya.
"Guys, get moving!" Galadriel exclaimed, raising her hand to block Bakugo's explosive attack.
Bakugo struck with all his might. But unfortunately, his fist and his explosion were stopped by a solid surface. He saw the girl create an energy shield and hissed in displeasure. Galadriel smiled at him. Bakugo attacked again, but couldn't hit hard enough to destroy her shield.
"What's the matter, Bakugo-chan? Earlier, Mugiwara managed to destroy that shield with a single attack! Aren't you able to imitate him?"
"SHUT UP!" Bakugo roared, hitting the shield again, to no avail.
" Why? " Bakugo wondered angrily. " Why doesn't my strength surpass Mugiwara's? "
"Bakugo…you constantly target me! Do you love me that much? You seem very obsessed with me," Galadriel said, holding a smirk.
"Shut up, bitch. " Bakugo hissed, positioning both arms back, before slamming the barrier with all his might.
The stadium is amazed by the explosion they saw, and not only them.
But the teachers, and the pro-heroes too. They observe and pay attention to their every move. They can see how strong this generation is, and the agencies are watching some of them with bright eyes.
" That's right, the chase isn't over, and our number one star is being attacked left and right by each of them. But none of them have achieved anything so far! How can they defeat anyone? able to teleport?! Let's find out!" Present Mic shouted, driving the stadium crazy.
Aizawa looked at the girl with the highest bounty. He noticed how for a moment she seems fine, but something has changed. As if she had suddenly lost some of her energy. There is a limit to her power. Otherwise, she would have teleported her group away instead of facing Bakugo's attacks. And he was sure that some students knew it too.
Attacking again and again, Bakugo suddenly heard a cracking noise, as a crack appeared on Galadriel's shield.
"FINALLY!" He rejoiced, redoubled his efforts.
However, what he didn't know was that Galadriel had intentionally lowered the defense of her protection, while her magic shield was not meant to block level 5 magic spells, but only level 3.
Yet despite the fact that she had to help him, Galadriel guaranteed him a bright future.
" You're still a kid but yet...your power already surpasses that of adults. " Galadriel remarked. " There's no denying that by the end of the year you'll reach level 35! Or maybe even 40! Who knows what you'll become when you're an adult? "
For his part, Midoriya couldn't help but take a step back, seeing Galadriel's shield crack more and more. Then, he saw Galadriel lower herself further onto Tokoyami's shoulders and he noticed how tired she looked. Uraraka noticed it too, and she looks worried for her.
"Galadriel, are you okay?" Uraraka asked.
"Don't worry about me, I'm just having fun," Galadriel said with a smile.
Her comrades weren't convinced about it, but they didn't say anything more. However, this didn't prevent Bakugo's assaults from continuing.
" TOKOYAMI ! " Cria Midoriya.
"I...I can't do anything." The boy retorted, while the explosions generated by Bakguo seemed to scare his shadow.
Bakugo smiled grimly. He saw Galadriel's tired face and knew she was lacking in energy. So as he prepares for his next attack but when he is about to strike. He felt like someone had touched his head.
"Like taking candy from a baby," someone said.
Twirling Bakugo's headband around his finger, a blond boy was laughing mockingly as he stole it without a care.
"What the fuck are you doing?! Who the fuck are you? Give it back or I'll kill you!" Bakugo shouted.
"I'm not surprised that everyone went for the jackpot. Only fools will do something like that. They didn't realize there's more than one blindfold. Only brainless idiots will go for it. this, instead of taking the folks below, and now you see why I can't take Class 1-A seriously," Monoma said.
Galadriel saw an aneurysm appear on Bakugo's face. She is sure that one day he will have a stroke only because of his rage.
"Damn you said?!" Bakugo shouted.
"You're even slower, no wonder you finished fourth… Or what is fifth?" He smiles. "Anyway, even trying to do your best, you just proved that you weren't exceptional."
Laughing, Monoma decided to destroy Bakugo's arrogance.
"If I remember correctly, you fought against the villains, when USJ crashed, right? But that's strange, because I don't remember hearing your name…Maybe be that you haven't done anything, at least not like Miss Nazarick." he said.
Bakugo has never been so angry in his life. The last time he was this angry... It was 30 minutes ago.
"Ba...Bakugo..." his companions feared.
"Kirishima, change of plans…Before that white-haired bitch and Deku, I'm gonna kick that guy's ass," Bakugo said.
Galadriel saw this as an opportunity to move, slowly whispering to Tokoyami to move. However, already looking to his left, the crow-man remained motionless, while another opponent appeared. Galadriel grumbled when she saw Todoroki standing in front of her.
"Galadriel…I'm here to take your blindfold," he said with a stoic face.
"I guess we won't have such an easy ride after all," Midoriya whispered, as he saw other teams running towards them.
"I guess not," Galadriel said.
Within seconds, four other gangs had targeted them to grab Galadriel's headband.
Seeing this, Todoroki told Yaoyorozu to give him special cover and Kaminari to be ready with his abilities. He thought he would take Galadriel by surprise, but he didn't know it, that she was already planning what he was planning to do.
"Guys, step back and take care of your feet!" said Galadriel.
They obeyed, and not even seconds later Kaminari shocked everyone around him. Todoroki immediately froze the ground, stopping everyone in their tracks. Midoriya saw this, and Uraraka jumps high enough to avoid the ice prison. Todoroki swore, but he still has the upper hand. He knows that Denki would prevent Tokoyami from using Dark Shadow. Also, Galadriel is too exhausted to be able to teleport. Or at least that's what he thought. He took a few blindfolds to boost his score, and now he's aiming for the biggest in the arena.
"Galadriel we are pushed back, we can't escape!" Midoriya shouted.
"The boundary of the field is near. ' Uraraka said, looking behind her.
"It's okay, keep walking away from them," Galadriel said.
"Yaoyorozu!" " Todoroki shouted.
Suddenly Galadriel saw the end of a huge giant lamp sticking out of Momo's abdomen, before illuminating the area.
Then a bright light blinded everyone, causing Dark ShadoW to completely disappear. Todoroki, meanwhile, made a wall of ice around them to make it impossible for them to run away. He smiled, thinking this was their chance to defend themselves. With little else to do, Galadriel sighs, thinking of what to do. It became a good experience for her.
"Oye!" What are we doing ? Tokoyami asked, unable to make Dark Shadow appear in front of him.
"We are trapped! " Midoriya exclaims.
"Mm, what to do…" Galadriel muttered.
Running to get away from the others, Shoji looked at the score screen.
"We're third! There's just the Nazarick team and another from Class B ahead of us."
"Yosh! In that case, no need to fight any more." Usopp assured.
"Haha! We're the best." Mineta rejoiced, who was practically lying on Shoji's back.
Having completely lowered his guard, the boy barely felt one of his headband being stolen from him, and disappearing through an opening between Shoji's arms.
"My headband?"
"What?" His teammates wondered.
"What's going on?" Shoji wanted to know.
"Stop." Usopp ordered him. "We got robbed."
Immediately, Shoji came to an abrupt halt, before opening his arms to allow his three companions to look around. Immediately, they saw the Tetsutetsu team not far from them, while one of Ibara's hairs was holding Mineta's headband. In an instant, Tetsutetsu's team was ranked 3rd, while Shoji's team found itself in 6th position.
"My blindfold." Mineta shouted.
"Good for nothing." Asui insulted him.
"We need to get our blindfold back." Shoji asserted, starting to run.
"STOP!" Usopp ordered him.
Stopping in extremis, Shoji was surprised to see that the ground had softened right in front of him.
"" What is ... ? "
"It's that guy." Usopp affirmed, looking at a boy, whose teeth were completely visible.
"Oh? You know my power?" Juzo questioned.
Looking at each of the four members in front of them, Usopp analyzed each of their powers using Mei's technology.
"Steel...Vines...Weld...Softening...Okay, I got what I need."
"Oye, what are we waiting for to attack them?" Mineta shouted.
" We shouldn't go near them. " Usopp retorted. "This guy's power would immobilize us in two seconds! However, if we attack from a distance, he will become harmless! Besides,..."
Looking at Awase, he declared.
"His power is also useless since he has no items at his disposal! So..."
Staring at Tetsutetsu and Ibara, he assured.
"There are only those two left."
"We're no better." Shoji retorted. "If I can't get close, my power is greatly diminished! And due to the softened ground, Mineta's balls will no longer stick to it."
"Ribbit, then, everything will be up to us." Asui asserted.
" Tsss! They underestimate us. " Tetsutetsu affirmed.
"Hey, we better fall back." Awase affirmed. "There are three minutes left! Let's not lose our points foolishly."
"Grrrr! Okay!" His captain complied.
However, no sooner had they turned than a projectile was fired before landing between their legs.
" Huh ? "
"Long-nose..." Ibara affirmed.
At this moment, many bamboos smelled from the ground. And even if the soft ground prevented them from pushing straight their tops hit hard the quartet who were ejected high in the sky, in different direction.
"AHHHHHHHH!"
"What is it?" Tetsutetsu asked.
Suddenly, he saw Asui's tongue rush towards him and wrap around one of his headbands.
"I have it." The frog assured, pretending to fold her tongue.
Unfortunately one of Tetsutetsu's hands grabbed it and prevented her tongue from leaking out.
"As if I was going to let you steal my points." He roared.
"Hey..." a voice called out. " Those are our points. "
Suddenly leaving Shoji's back, Usopp began to fly towards him, while being assisted by a thruster.
" What ? "
" He's flying! " Present Mic shouted. " Wait! Am I dreaming? How does he do that? "
Then, seeing his equipment, he declared.
"This material...is Mei Hatsume's."
Teaming up with other people, the girl began to smile, while affirming.
"And here's the point of being a sponsor."
Moving high in the sky, Usopp allowed everyone to see Mei's invention, as he moved closer to Tetsutetsu. Growling, the boy hardened his body before closing his fist.
"Do you think you scare me?"
Then, as soon as Usopp was in front of him, he punched him with all his might.
"A Quirkless like you has no chance of defeating me in hand-to-hand combat."
However, he was totally surprised when he saw his fist being stopped in Usopp's palm, without the slightest effort.
" What ? "
"I'm not just a quirkless person." Usopp asserted.
Then suddenly, his hand moved in front of Tetsutetsu's face, before he affirmed.
"I am God Usopp."
A moment later, Tetsutetsu felt like he was being hit by a veritable shock wave. Dropping Asui's tongue, he let go of his headband, before falling to crash to the ground and find himself inside a crater.
Left speechless, everyone in the stands had their eyes raised to the sky, to see Usopp still flying, and arm stretched forward.
" What...what did he just do? " Present Mic asked. " Did I dream or did a Quirkless just use a covert attack. Aizawa, explain to me what we just saw? "
"Do you think I'm a diviner, moron?"
"Huh?" Galadriel wondered, looking up. "Isn't he supposed to be just a sniper?"
Usopp still remained still, as he seemed to enjoy watching the others below him. However, if he remained still, it was simply so as not to move his arm. Having not used his impact dial for two years, the man had almost forgotten the ill effects on his body, while he felt like the bone in his arm was broken.
"IT HURTS!" he thought, wanting to cry.
At that moment, Asui's tongue curled around him, and the man found himself on Shoji's back again.
"Ribbit, good job."
"We got our points back thanks to you." Shoji assured.
"Bof..." Mineta said, putting the blindfold back around her head. "I could have done the same."
But before they could flee, they suddenly spotted Monoma's group ahead of them.
" Huh ? "
"New prey." The blond assured.
But, an explosion startled him, while Bakugo was right behind him.
"You again?"
Seeing the blonde, as well as Usopp who humiliated him during the first round, Bakugo flashed a wild smile, while declaring.
"Perfect! I'm going to blast you, you want your blindfolds...and then I'll do the same with the albino girl and Deku."
" There's only about a minute left! And now Todoroki has set the ground in which he can take his final push! What's our school's number one hero going to do?! "
The surrounding people look excited by the scene in front of them.
"Galadriel, we should take his left side! He can't use it without hurting them!" Midoriya let go, remembering his Quirk's fire.
"Oh I see, thank you Midoriya," Galadriel said smiling.
" I didn't think of that, he's good at paying attention to small things. " thought Galadriel.
Todoroki understood why they moved in a different way, but in the end, it didn't matter. He always has the last card, and he's going to use it.
"Guys, we only have one minute left, this is it, are you ready Ida?" He asked.
"Yes…Grab a firm grip. Miss Nazarick, you're not the only fast one in our class!" He said leaning forward on his legs. Preparing to use his speed ability.
"They're coming! What do we do?!" Uraraka said.
"Galadriel!" Midoriya exclaims, preparing his legs for the mash.
If he has to use All for One to win, he will.
Feeling his blindfold being stolen from him, Kendo couldn't react, while seeing Shinso's group running away.
"We have 950 points." Shinso affirmed, while 4 headbands now wrapped around his skull.
Immediately, he saw his team's name occupied the third place.
"There's barely a minute left! No more fighting."
However, he saw a wall of ice appear not far from them, while the star of the year was Todoroki's target.
"Nazarick..."
Immediately, he sensed the danger of this place. If he went, Shinso risked losing points stupidly.
"Let's go right." He decided.
However, also sensing the danger, Luffy did the opposite of his order and charged right to where Galadriel and Todoroki were.
" STOPPPPPPPPP ! "
Completely ignoring him, Luffy stretched his fist back before using it to punch the ice wall.
