Midoriya cleared his throat. "So…who's gonna be the one to ride the horse?" Uraraka shrugged.

"We kind of figured you should. You have a unique quirk that gives you a lot of abilities-I think you might be the most prepared." Monoma nodded and Jiro clapped.

Midoriya sighed, "I don't know if that's true, but I'll do my best."

Five minutes later, Midoriya definitely felt like he wasn't up to the task. He was on Uraraka's back…her back! And that wasn't really the worse part.

Jiro and Monoma had an arm curved up under each of his thighs! He had never been in this type of position with one female-never mind three! It was taking everything he had to not be red like a strawberry!

Ok, ok, ok…calm down! Nothing weird is happening…this is the position you are supposed to be in! You know perfectly well that no one is focusing on you! They're focusing on becoming heroes! Get your head in the game!

He wrapped the red headband around his forehead, studying the field intently. Several groups were looking at him, smirking meanly.

Remember Master, we're right here with you.

Midoriya smiled at the Fire Sage, nodding gratefully. He looked down at the girls that were holding him. All of them looked back, trust in their gazes.

He wasn't going to let them down.

"Ready, team?" The three girls nodded. "Then, let's go!"

Bakugou grunted, looking down at her teammates. "Okay, losers! Remember what the plan is: get after the nerd and get his headband!"

Kirishima looked up at him, "And if we can't, get the headbands off the other teams, right?" The blonde growled.

"Obviously, Crappy Hair! But we're going to get the headband from him and then he'll see how strong I am!" Mina quirked her eyebrow.

"What, Bakubabe?"

The blonde stuttered, her red eyes widening in shock. "I-I mean, he'll see how weak he is, that's what I mean!"

Kirishima and Mina exchanged sly smiles at each other.

Todoroki gazed at Midoriya, her heterochronic eyes piercing. She was going to defeat him and take her mother down a peg. She looked down at her three teammates:

Iida: she was a friend to Midoriya, but she had a desire to prove herself, especially after Midoriya gave up his position to her. She would be a powerful asset to the team.

Sato: she was someone who was muscular and dependent on sugar to use her quirk efficiently. She seems okay with Midoriya but is mostly neutral about the male.

Shinso: she was someone who seemed to have a grudge against Midoriya. She looks sleepy and lazy, but the glint in her eyes were sharp. They seemed to be gazing at Midoriya's form, specifically his headband. The drive Todoroki saw there would guarantee the win for them.

All in all, Todoroki was proud of herself for choosing an efficient team. And the moment she finishes with this event, she will win the last event, proving to her mother once and for all that she doesn't need anything from her…not her quirk nor her time.

Midoriya gulped, feeling all of the girls glares, but he stood his ground. He looked at his gauntlet, the stones shining beautifully in the light. He looked up to see his mentor, All Might, watching him from the stands. She smiled at him with pride, giving him a wink.

Right next to her was Rauru. His first mentor and the man who was becoming like a second father to him. He was smiling at the child, giving him a nod. Midoriya smiled back.

Master, we're ready! Midoriya looked up to see the Wind Sage circling around him, giggling softly at this next challenge.

"Is everyone ready?!" All the teams looked up at Midnight, who was raising her baton. Everyone squatted down, getting ready for the signal.

"Then…GO!"

Immediately, Midoriya raised his hand and gestured to the left, activating Rewind. Immediately, he gestured to the right, activating Ultrahand. The greenish light came from the glove, grasping onto the three headbands of one of the teams. When the fifteen seconds were over, the team in question gaped in astonishment at what just happened.

Uraraka looked up at Midoriya, her brown eyes widening in astonishment at seeing the three new headbands dangling from his shoulder, "Midoriya-kun!" Midoriya looked down at her.

"Just run!"

His team immediately began running.

Todoroki focused on trying to intervene with Sato and her team, making sure to never allow her fire to emerge. Iida gasped, pointing to the right.

Todoroki followed her finger and saw Midoriya's team running towards Aoyama and her group. She heard Iida talking in excitement.

"Wow! Midoriya-kun is in the lead! Good for him!" A lower growl sounded and the teammates gazed at Shinso, who seemed more awake than usual, staring at Midoriya with pure disdain.

"Shinso-san! We have to remain focused. Stop being distracted by Midoriya."

The purple-haired girl glared at Todoroki for a few seconds before nodding.

"Come on Crappy Hair! Faster!" Kirishima grunted as she felt Bakugou banging her fists against her skull. "Get after Deku-make sure he doesn't use his super-speed power again!"

Mina groaned, "And how exactly do we do that, Bakubabe? I mean, we don't have perfect vision like you do…"

Bakugou growled, "He does some type of signal with his gloved hand. He randomly does some gestures and that allows him to use some powers. I don't know exactly what position he uses, but I do know that when he uses that speed power, he moves his hand to his left."

Her eyes remained steadfast on Midoriya, "He used that power right at the beginning of the match to take Ponytails' teams headbands. No doubt, he's trying to find the perfect opportunity to use it again."

Mina winked up at her, "Don't worry! We'll get that babe way before he tries to make a move on us!"

Bakugou growled, "He's a deku, not a 'babe'." Mina giggled.

"Uraraka-san, are you okay?" The brunette looked up at her classmate, "I'm okay, Deku. Thanks for asking." He took a deep breath.

"Okay, Kacchan seems to be staring at us as well as Todoroki's team. Who do you think we should go after first?"

Monoma spoke up, "The blonde beast of 1-A seems to be the type to 'shoot first, ask questions later' type of person. I say half of us should focus on her and the other half should focus on Snooty Todoroki."

Midoriya froze before glaring a bit at Monoma. "Monoma-san, I know you don't like my class in general, but don't call Kacchan and Todoroki-san names. That's not great heroine material."

Monoma gulped; Midoriya's eyes were practically filled with an electric green as they stared her down. "S-Sorry, Midoriya."

He smiled, a beam of sunlight seemingly surrounding him. "No worries, Nokina."

The rest of his teammates looked away. Jirou muttered, "Too precious for this world."

Midoriya looked at all of them in confusion.
