"Uchiha and Midoriya are the first ones to exit the minefield; the goal is right before them! Hey Eraser, why are Bakugo and Todoroki fighting each other when their competition is still ahead?"
"I don't know." Aizawa answers, but he still has an idea of who did it.
Mic's words makes halt Todoroki's and Bakugo's hostilities.
""Huh?"" Akira breaks the illusion when Mic spook, and the two's visions return to normal. Looking ahead, they saw Akira and Izuku running toward the goal.
"SHIT!" (Bakugo)
"TSK." Todoroki
They rush at maximum speed using their quirks
"Eraser, your class is incredible; what are you teaching them?!"
"I didn't teach them anything noteworthy, they are igniting themselves mutually."
The first two enter the last tunnel toward the stadium.
"And the first one to arrive is Uchiha Akira!"
The excited crown cheers at the arrival. Izuku reached the arena only five seconds after Akira, securing the second place
~POV Akira.~
I finished the first game with first place as expected.
'That was too easy'
"Good work, Izuku. See, you finished second, ahead of Todoroki and Bakugo with only your ability."
I call out to Izuku who is panting with arms on his knees
"Y-yeah, but you don't seem tired at all."
"You have seen during the training that something like this is not enough to tire me out."
During this race, thanks to my sage body, I recovered more stamina than I used to run. That means I can theoretically run forever at this speed. While we are exchanging some words, the others finally reach the stadium.
"Again…Shit…Shit…Shit…"
Bakugo seems mad as usual, and Todoroki seems to have also tried a little
"The other candidates passed the goal. You all rest; we will announce the rankings later!"
It seems like we still have a little time.
"Deku-kun your incredible!"
"Uraraka-san…"
'Now, how will you react?' Uraraka faces him up close. Izuku blush.
"Arriving second, you're incredible! I'm jealous."
"T-thanks, but you are really close, Uraraka-san…"
"Eh?! I-i'm sorry…"
The two of them blush hard
'I get that you two have a crush on each other, but… Did you forget that I was here the whole time?'
I feel like a third wheel
"You know that I'm here, right?" The lovebirds look in my direction.
…
After a brief silence. Uraraka flees somewhere in panic.
"It's not what you think…"
"Really?"
'Are you taking me for an idiot?'
"Now everyone, here are the results". (Midnight)
I look at the rankings, and as far as I know, with a few differences, it is the same.
'Mineta actually ended up 42nd, too bad…'
Yaoyorozu ended up 10th this time thanks to me pushing back the bug
"The 42 at the top earned their right to advance! Now onto today's heart-pounding second event, the reporters will love it… Behold!" (Midnight)
"Human Cavalry" appears on the screen.
"The rules are the same as normal human cavalry, except for the points' attribution. The time limit is 15 minutes. The Headbands points are the total value of the score each of you obtained during the last event, depending on your ranking. Each place gives you five points. Except for the first one, whose head is worth 10 million points!"
…
The stadium is silent for a moment.
"Those who reach the top only encounter fresh and new hardships. You will hear it a lot of time, but that's the Plus Ultra. To the Boy Uchiha Akira-kun go ten million points."
The air around becomes heavy, and everyone looks at me with determination as if I am a mortal enemy.
'It's fine… this will be interesting. You all can come to me…' Unlike Midoriya I can't help but grin at my situation.
"Now I will explain the rules." After Midnight finishes her explanation.
"Now you have 15 minutes to form your teams"
All the students dispersed trying to find a teammate, and I'm the only one who didn't move. I raise my hand.
"Sensei, I have a question."
"What is it?"
The others listened to me curiously
"Given my circumstances, can I participate alone?"
The others, except the students of my class, didn't understand why I asked this. Midnight-sensei too understood what I wanted to do.
"In your case, you may compete alone."
The students from other classes didn't expect that she would agree. After 15 minutes when everyone is in place.
'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu'
B-B-Booom…
Three clones of me appeared, which surprised most people in the stadium. It is weird to do a cavalry match by myself with clones, but it is more fun this way with the 10 mil headband on my head.
"Now here we go! Countdown before the start!" (Mic)
3…2…1
"START!" (Midnight)
~POV, 3rd person~
The moment Midnight started the match, most of the other teams run in Akira's direction.
'Izuku and Todoroki don't want to attack me first, I see.'
The first to teams to attack him are Tetsutetsu and Hagakure
"This is essentially a match for the 10 mil!"
"HAHAHA… Akira-san, I'm coming for you!"
Akira doesn't use his Sharingan mainly because he doesn't need it and also because Hagakure is topless…
"I just have to move then…"
The moment he says that, the ground around turns into a liquid; however, Akira stands still on it like it was normal ground
"Why isn't he sinking?!" (Honenuki)
'For the same reason, I can walk on water. I can walk on any weird liquid, but I won't say anything to you.'
"That doesn't matter right now…" (Tetsutetsu)
"Of course it does." (Akira)
Akira and his clones run toward them. Tetsutetsu's body turns into steel, ready to attack.
"You want to give me the first place?"
When the two pass each other
BAAAM
"Tetsutetsu!" (Honenuki)
Akira responded with a punch in Tetsutetsu's face, knocking him out despite his steel-reinforced body. He now looks like a zombie seated on his allies' shoulders.
"Whoa! Tetsutetsu was knocked out with this. Is this punch even allowed?!" (Mic)
"He defended himself so it's all good." (Midnight)
Team Tetsutetsu retreats to recover. Team Hagakure reaches Akira, and he dodges out of her gasp. Jiro tries to attack him with her earphones, but he steps a few meters back where she wouldn't reach.
'I would feel terrible after hitting a sweet girl such as Hagakure.' (Akira)
"6 meters," Akira said, indicating to Jiro that he already knew her jacks' limits.
'He already knew?' Jiro thought.
Akira waits for the next one who will challenge him. Suddenly, a purple ball is thrown at him straight to his head. Akira bends forward to dodge it; Tsuyu's tongue comes next. Tsuyu's attack is deflected by Akira's arm.
"As expected he isn't easy to catch off guard Ribbit." (Tsuyu)
"You will pay for what you did earlier!" (Mineta)
'I don't think so.' (Akira)
While Akira looks at team Mineta
"I'm your opponent, Ninfreak!"
Team Bakugo runs straight to him, but before Team Bakugo could reach Akira
'Team Midoriya?' Team Izuku arrives by air, using Hatsume's boots and Uraraka's Zero Gravity. Izuku, using his Full Cowl 4%, is the horse and Tokoyami the rider.
"Dark Shadow!"
Dark Shadow goes straight to Akira, and attacks from the front.
"Hey! The fight is right here!" Bakugo, for his part, attacks Akira from his left.
The Shinobi swiftly decide his course of action
BOOM
He dodges Bakugo's attempt, grab him by his right arm and use him as a human weapon to hit Dark Shadow
BAAM
""Argh""
When Dark Shadow retreats, Akira throws Bakugo back to his teammates. Kirishima catches Bakugo, who is still physically.
"This bastard…" Bakugo doesn't seem to like being treated as a weapon.
"What monstrous strength he swung his classmate around with one arm!" (Mic)
After seeing Akira's power demonstration the other teams hesitated to attack and wait for the opportunity. They understood that one team alone can't handle him
Team Midoriya still in the air, however, and doesn't give up. Izuku freed his hand and performed his signature pose for…
'Hey, he is not going to use that now, is he?' (Akira)
Akira's front clone makes two hand seals
'Doton: Doryūheki' (Earth Style: Mud Wall)
A wall of earth wall rise in front him and his clones
"Delaware SMASH!"
Izuku did just what Akira thought and launched a shockwave right at him. It reaches the earth wall, who strangely resists the attack better than Akira thought. The air pressure spots the other teams from approaching, but it is not compelling but still strong.
'I see… He used only 45%. I didn't expect him to launch a Delaware on me. And to control it at 45%… To me, it seems improvised; his control was clumsy, and he tried not to use 100% and managed to suppress it at 45%.'
To Akira, Team Izuku is the team he is the most wary of. Even more than Bakugo or Todoroki
'Call it protagonist privilege or something, but he is actually the most unpredictable one in the fight.' (Akira)
Izuku is hurt from the smash, but he limited it to a few finger fractures.
Time passes a little, and only half of the time remains. Akira is still facing Team Izuku, who secured their position in the final already. Bakugo is busy with Monoma who stole his headband. Team Hagakure also lost their headband.
"That's a good team you have there, Izuku. And those support items are impressive." (Akira)
"Aren't they?"(Hatsume)
As the two teams face, ice starts to appear at their feats. Akira and Izuku jump to avoid being encased.
"Guess you all came after all."
Said Akira to Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Ida and Kaminari
"We have come to take your headband" (Todoroki)
"I see… That's a good team you've got there, Todoroki… As far as the combination goes, though."
Todoroki raise an eyebrow, he doesn't understand what Akira meant
"You made a good choice selecting your teammates; however, your formation is anything but good."
"What do you mean?" Todoroki answers in an annoyed tone.
"Sure Yaoyorozu, Ida and Kaminari are the best choices you had. But you should have given the leadership to Yaoyorozu, she is far better than you to take the lead and be the rider."
Yaoyorozu blush in embarrassment for being complimented like this
"You, Todoroki Shoto, rely too much on brute force and combined with my sensory abilities you are an open book to me."
'And I mean what I said. Now…'
Katon…
