Ojiro Mashirao gave a warning beforehand, and Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, and Iida all followed his advice, keeping their mouths shut tightly after the cavalry battle started.
Shinso Hitoshi was taunting everyone, but none of Todoroki's team members responded, and then a shocking scene unfolded.
Except for Todoroki's team, all the other teams attacked Bakugo's team. At this moment, Ojiro signaled to the other three.
Now Todoroki's team understood Ojiro's intention. They didn't expect such a scary Quirk to exist. If Ojiro Mashirao hadn't warned them in advance, they would have been doomed from the start.
Taking advantage of the situation, while Midoriya's team was focused on Bakugo's team, Todoroki directed his team to approach Midoriya's position and launched a freezing attack.
Unfortunately, Midoriya Izuku reacted too quickly. Seeing Ojiro with Todoroki's group and their sudden approach, he immediately figured it out.
Todoroki created a hidden and swift ice path, dodging Midoriya's high-speed movement. At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Todoroki's team.
"It's surprising that Todoroki's team escaped while the other teams were controlled by Shinso!"
The commentator hero, Present Mic, immediately introduced the situation, as professional commentators love to see intense matches that excite their commentary spirit!
"It's Ojiro!"
Seeing Ojiro Mashirao, Midoriya Izuku and Shinso Hitoshi understood why Todoroki's team wasn't affected. They all learned Bajiquan at the Bajiquan Dojo, and Ojiro had a good personality. Midoriya and Shinso considered him a friend, so they shared information about their Quirks.
In this U.A. Sports Festival, Ojiro happened to be on Todoroki's team. It was only right for him to warn his teammates to avoid elimination.
"Get ready, strong enemies are coming!"
"Got it!!"
Midoriya Izuku gave the orders, and Ochako and Takeyama Urei received them. Todoroki Shoto was one of the top students in Class A of the Hero Course. Even Takeyama Urei admitted that Todoroki was stronger than him. Midoriya, who often mingled with Class A, naturally knew Todoroki.
Todoroki didn't speak, he just made an upward gesture. Seeing Todoroki's signal, Iida Tenya activated his Quirk to speed up and charged towards Midoriya's team.
Because of Shinso Hitoshi's presence, no one on Todoroki's team could speak, or they would be controlled. Instead, they used simple hand signals to communicate.
However, at this moment, Midoriya Izuku was not slower than Iida Tenya. His roller shoes activated, increasing his speed and keeping a distance from Todoroki's team. With Ochako's "Zero Gravity" Quirk, Midoriya's team members were very light.
At this moment, another person made a move! Todoroki Shoto held a metal rod made by Yaoyorozu and stuck it into the ground. His ice Quirk needed contact to spread, and the frost quickly spread from the metal rod on the ground and shot up!
Where Midoriya's team was retreating, an ice wall burst from the ground, blocking their way, and Todoroki's team charged forward aggressively.
"My turn!!"
As Todoroki's team was about to reach Midoriya Izuku and his team, Takeyama Urei shouted and her body grew rapidly, from 1.6 meters tall to over 20 meters, turning into a giant woman, protecting Midoriya's team in her hands.
"Takeyama-san from Hero Class A, her gigantification Quirk is a huge advantage in this cavalry battle!"
Present Mic sighed slightly at Todoroki's team's near success while explaining the students' names and Quirks. The U.A. Sports Festival was meant to make outstanding students famous.
With Takeyama Urei's giant form suppressing them, Todoroki's team had to retreat temporarily. Todoroki Shoto made a hand gesture, and Iida understood, moving towards other teams. With Shinso Hitoshi controlling other teams, it was easier for them to grab headbands.
"What now? My gigantification can only last three minutes!"
"Leave it to me!"
When Takeyama Urei asked Midoriya what to do, Shinso Hitoshi took charge and started to act!
In Takeyama Urei's hand, Shinso Hitoshi's focused thoughts were undisturbed. He controlled the teams he had just taken over, splitting them into two groups to attack Todoroki's team and Bakugo's team.
Todoroki had just grabbed headbands from two teams, and Hagakure's team and Shoji's team attacked Todoroki's team. Although it was sudden, Todoroki was prepared and froze the two teams completely. But more teams were attacking Todoroki's team.
"Get lost!!"
Bakugo, already irritated, blasted away the attacking shadows. With other teams controlled by Shinso Hitoshi, Tokoyami's team was manipulated to target Bakugo's team. Tokoyami's shadow could attack from a distance, keeping Bakugo's team busy.
When Tokoyami's team was about to attack again, an ice path spread from the ground, freezing their feet and stopping the attack!
"Half face? You guys aren't controlled?!"
"........"
It was Todoroki Shoto who helped Bakugo's team, but Todoroki couldn't respond to Bakugo. He didn't know the extent of Shinso Hitoshi's Quirk, so he stayed silent.
But that didn't stop Todoroki. He made a hand gesture, and although Bakugo had a bad temper, he was smart and understood Todoroki's intention immediately.
"Got it! It's up to you now!!"
As soon as Bakugo Katsuki finished speaking, the explosion in his hand created a huge recoil, propelling him towards Midoriya Izuku and his team.
The puppets controlled by Shinso Hitoshi, who were about to attack Todoroki's and Bakugo's teams, were immobilized by Todoroki Shoto's wide-range ice attack, freezing their feet in place.
Like a rocket, Bakugo Katsuki aimed straight at the hooded Shinso, but he was grabbed mid-air!
"You think you can ignore me?!"
Takeyama Urei, in her giant form, grabbed Bakugo like a chick, with a mischievous smile on her face.
"Wait, you can't intentionally hurt others in the sports festival, or you'll get a red card and be disqualified!"
Seeing Takeyama Urei's expression, Midoriya Izuku quickly reminded her, fearing Bakugo might get seriously hurt.
"Don't worry, I just want him to feel like he's on a roller coaster!"
"You think I'd make the same mistake twice? This time it's on purpose, you foolish woman!"
Just as Takeyama Urei was about to give Bakugo a 360° spin, Bakugo clasped his hands together.
A blinding flashbang exploded from Bakugo's hands, temporarily blinding Takeyama Urei. Todoroki then released another explosion, freeing himself from Takeyama's grip and charging towards the also blinded Shinso Hitoshi.
As Bakugo reached out to grab the 10 million point headband, a hand caught his arm—it was Midoriya Izuku!
"Sorry, Kacchan! I can't let you have this!!"
As Bakugo was about to explode in anger, Midoriya grabbed his arm, spun him 180° in the air, and threw him back towards his own team.
In mid-air, an enraged Bakugo was caught by Sero Hanta's tape, pulling him back to his team.
"Did we fail?"
"Damn Deku, ruining my plan at the crucial moment!!"
Kirishima asked with concern, and Bakugo, who was almost successful but interrupted by Midoriya, was furious!
"That guy!"
Shinso Hitoshi, whose team's headband was almost taken, was impressed by Bakugo's determination but decided not to play games with Bakugo's team anymore.
At this moment, Takeyama Urei's giant form shrank back to her normal height of 1.6 meters as her Quirk's time limit was reached. Todoroki's and Bakugo's teams were about to launch another attack on Midoriya Izuku's team!
"Kirishima!"
"Got it!!"
Following Bakugo's orders, his team charged towards Midoriya's team!
At the same time, Todoroki Shoto, who had frozen the other teams in place, signaled Iida Tenya to charge towards Midoriya Izuku's team as well.
The fierce battle scene, with three teams fighting for the first place headband, Bakugo was determined to take the lead!
"Explosion idiot, did you have fun just now?"
"Stupid sharp eyes, I'll show you!!"
Shinso Hitoshi taunted, and Bakugo, without thinking, cursed back, making Shinso smile triumphantly!
"Oh no!!"
Everyone had this thought, and as expected... Bakugo, riding on Kirishima's back, had a blank expression, already under control!
"That's one problem solved!"
Shinso Hitoshi didn't hold back, directly brainwashing Bakugo. Although the other three members of Bakugo's team learned their lesson and kept quiet, without their rider, they were no threat. Now they only had to face Todoroki's team!
"Damn it!!"
Kirishima Eijiro gritted his teeth and said to Kaminari and Sero, "Hold Bakugo for me, I need to punch him hard!!"
Todoroki's team had already signaled Bakugo's team not to respond, but Bakugo's temper couldn't resist the taunts, treating his teammates like treasures!
Other classmates might fear Bakugo, but not Kirishima! In Class A of the Hero Course, only Kirishima had the best relationship with Bakugo. When a friend makes a mistake, it's natural to punch him awake!!
As the other two held Bakugo, Kirishima turned and delivered a friendship punch to Bakugo's face, hoping to teach him a lesson even if they lost!
"Ouch! Idiot, why did you hit me!!"
Bakugo suddenly covered his face in pain, leaving Kirishima stunned, mumbling:
"Did my punch really wake him up?!"
Bakugo punched Kirishima back, gritting his teeth with a fierce smile. He had been messed with, but thanks to Kirishima's punch, he woke up. The quick-thinking Bakugo immediately understood the reason.
"Go to the other teams!!"
"Huh, not going for the first place headband?"
"Just go, stop talking!!"
Directing Kirishima's actions, Bakugo's team ran to the other teams trapped by Todoroki, while Midoriya's team was still dodging and entangled with Todoroki's team, not paying attention to others.
"Wake up!!"
Bakugo punched Tokoyami Fumikage hard, venting his anger from being harassed, then punched each member of their team.
"Ouch!"
"Bakugo, why did you hit me?"
"Why am I frozen!?"
The people Bakugo punched awake were freed from Shinso Hitoshi's control but were confused!
"Now it's time to pay back that jerk!"
Telling the controlled teams about Shinso Hitoshi's actions naturally made them angry. After breaking free from Todoroki Shoto's ice, they attacked Midoriya's team.
At the same time, Bakugo went around waking up the other teams one by one. After explaining the situation, everyone focused on Midoriya Izuku's team.
"I have to say... things don't look good!"
Midoriya awkwardly looked at the scene. Except for Todoroki's and Bakugo's teams, the other teams were glaring at them with hatred. Clearly, Shinso Hitoshi had angered everyone!
"You weaklings, come and fight me!!"
"......."
Shinso Hitoshi taunted again, and none of the teams responded. Instead, they all charged at Midoriya's team, ready to fight.
"I think... they really are coming to beat you up!!"
"....."
Midoriya Izuku complained, and Shinso was too embarrassed to say anything. Now that his Quirk was fully exposed, no one would fall for it again. But this wasn't the time to stand still and wait. Midoriya used his roller skates to speed up and escape quickly!
"Students, I don't want to interrupt your fun, but I have to remind you that there are only 3 minutes left in the cavalry battle!"
The main referee, Midnight, spoke up. The teams chasing Midoriya's team paused, then started fighting each other. At this point, grabbing headbands to advance was the most important thing!
"Did we survive..."
Looking at the chaos behind him, Midoriya Izuku felt relieved. Teaming up with Shinso was really dangerous; they almost got beaten up by everyone.
"Hand over the first place!"
"Iida, let's go!"
The two teams still chasing them, Todoroki's and Bakugo's teams, already knew how Shinso Hitoshi's Quirk worked. He had to speak and get a response to activate it.
"Run!!"
Midoriya didn't dare stop and ran as fast as he could!
