Izuku felt like it was taking forever-he just wanted to rest. The girls in his team were confusing him-looking at him for a few seconds then looking away. It was really distracting. He cleared his throat and waited for them to look at him.
"Okay. So Kacchan is the one that's getting closer to us. I could use my Recall power to freeze her group and take her headbands, but even if I manage to take them from her, I don't know how we can avoid Todoroki's team from ambushing us. Not to mention, that purple-haired girl that threatened me more than a week ago." He gestured to the girl in question. "She seems to be entirely focused on me-most likely to murder me."
His team looked at the girl in question and all of them winced in sympathy. Izuku groaned-he was kinda hoping that they would disagree with him; tell him he was seeing things. If they were all agreeing with him…
Am I really gonna get murdered here?
He looked down at his team. "Okay, I'm going to use Recall now. I don't know if you touching me will cause you to not be affected by it but we'll see. I'll give you the signal when I'm done. We have to run away immediately-Kacchan will be desperate to destroy us."
He lifted his arm in an upright position and moved it sharply to the upper left.
…
Bakugou widened her ruby eyes as she noticed Deku moving his gauntlet hand. "Pinky, Crap-!" That was as far as she got.
…
Izuku quickly moved his hand to the upper left, activating Ultrahand. He gulped as he used the power to grasp onto Kacchan's teams' headbands. He already felt sweat falling down his brow-she was gonna be ticked off! The moment Recall ended, he turned towards his amazed teammates. "NOW!" They did as bade.
"DEKU!" Yep, there she was.
"Don't stop, keep running! Uraraka, use float to lift us a bit out of Kacchans' reach! Monoma, when Kacchan is within reach, quickly use her quirk to propel us forward a little!" Monoma looked behind them with a determined expression. She subtly moved her arm behind her. Uraraka placed her fingertips together and activated her quirk, the pads of her fingers glowing pink. They jumped quickly, barely missing the explosive girl. In a swift movement, Monoma leaned closer to Bakugou and brushed her arm. In a few seconds, she let out an explosion, causing Izuku's team to gain some distance.
"Fifteen more seconds, ladies! …And Midoriya-kun!" Midoriya felt his face grow red as she singled him out. He looked up and gasped as he saw Todoroki-san right in front of him.
How did she gain this much distance?! I barely saw her! He noticed her teammates and saw Iida. Of course!
Shinso gave them a smirk and reached forward to grab Izuku's headband. She barely touched his bangs when the bell sounded. "That's the end, ladies! Everyone who still has a headband, please line up in front of me so I can count your scores!" Midoriya let out a breath of relief as Shinso backed away. The purple gaze was scathing, but Midoriya ignored her in favor of taking the 10-million-point headband away from his forehead.
Midnight was only doing the line up as a courtesy; she already knew who won.
…
Midoriya smiled as his teammates surrounded him with congratulations. He chuckled, rubbing the back of his head. He looked up to where All Might and Rauru were sitting. All Might was the very image of a proud mother, watching Midoriya, blue eyes sparkling. Rauru gave him a nod, a warm presence emitted from him. Zelda appeared and rubbed her mane against Midoriya's cheek, causing him to let out a giggle.
Iida ran towards him, giving him a smile "You did great, Midoriya-kun! Congratulations on being in first!" Midoriya smiled appreciatively.
"Thanks, Iida-san. You did great too-my eyes could hardly keep up with how fast you were going!"
Iida smiled softly, "Thanks-I drank a lot of orange juice before we started." Midoriya nodded, "Well, how about we get some water now?"
Iida nodded and they both went to the refreshment table. Midoriya picked up a water bottle and began sipping. He wondered what the next event was going to be…
