The next event was a cavalry battle, in groups of 2 - 4. Shame, you'd be a main target this time. Bakugo teamed up with his squad, except Denki and Jirou, Todoroki teamed up with those with stronger quirks, and Midoriya was in a team with anyone who pitied him enough to join. Including Mei.

You glared at the sight, slightly displeased, but moved on anyway. Then you spotted the guy who waged war on you.

"Oi, purple. Temporary truce? We both need teams," you raised an eyebrow. He willingly agreed but before he could speak, you continued.

"Don't even try it. I saw your quirk and know what it does. I'll be the rider, you can snag a few and brainwash them?" You checked.

"Alright. That monkey and the sparkly one, they'd up our attack power by a bit. I'll leave you in charge of defense and manning the main attacks," he decided.

Your communication was kept to the minimum, only nods and pats as the purple haired boy carried you.

"Alright, everyone will lose their bands eventually. That means that all we have to do is protect them and conceal ourselves as much as possible," Shinso thought out loud.

"Way ahead of you. Hang tight, you might get dizzy," you smirked and lifted the entire team off and onto a cloud.

"I can manipulate the wind and bring some up? Concealment is an issue though," you suggested.

"The only criteria is that you don't touch the ground. Keep these two on a cloud above us at all times for emergencies, we'll be on the ground. I can brainwash them or distract them while you grab the bands," he offered.

"I like the way you think, Shinso," you smirked as your plan began to take action.

As expected, everyone charged at Midoriya. Allowing yourselves to get lost in the crowd, you grabbed all the headbands that you could reach. It didn't add up to much as most were from the lowest ranks, but points are points.

The game of hide and seek continued in the same fashion, Shinso using brainwash on multiple victims while you wriggled out the points. Near the last 5 minutes, you were almost at 400 points and no one had noticed or paid attention to you.

"And now, we fire the big guns. Let's find Todoroki, Midoriya and Bakugo. One of them will have the ten million," you smirked.

"You sure?" He asked, nervous. You only released the two extra teammates as a response, getting ready to charge.
Todoroki and Midoriya were easy to find due to the large ice cage around them, and it seemed the greenette still had the ten million.

"Stay close behind me, I'll take to the sky and see what I can do," you decided, jumping off of Shinso's shoulders and concealing yourself between clouds.

There was clear tension between the two, until Iida sprinted at his maximum speed at Todoroki snatched the ten million. In an effort to snag it back, Midoriya reached out to it but Todoroki defended himself with flames, shocking all involved in the fight. Seeing him disturbed and confused right after the incident, you saw an opportunity to grab points and did so, only to end up grabbing a 105 worth one. Bakugo, seemingly, had the same idea and blasted in your direction, only for time to run out and him theatrically falling to the ground.

"I got us points, not the 10 mil, but should be enough to pass onto the next stage," you showed Shinso all the headbands together. Then the announcement came.

"IN FIRST PLACE, TEAM TODOROKI! IN SECOND PLACE, TEAM BAKUGO! IN THIRD PLACE, TEAM TETSU- TEAM SHINSO? WHERE'D YOU COME FROM? AND FINALLY, IN FOURTH PLACE, TEAM MIDORIYA!" Present Mic screeched over the PA.

"That man, that man really needs to quiet down. Giving him a PA was the worst decision," you groaned, covering your ears as Shinso nodded along.

Afterwards, the competitors were allowed to disperse for a short lunch break followed by recreational activities. The lunch wasn't too fancy, just rice and a spicy curry filled with nutrients to last the next 3-4 hours.

"Shirakumo-San~" a disgustingly familiar voice called.

"What do you want Mineta?" You sighed.

"The girls have to do a cheer leading competition for recreational activities, Mr. Aizawa said so," he drooled.

"I don't believe you, purely because you're the pervert. Get Iida or Todoroki and I might consider. But I don't cheerlead, you'll need a substitute," you glared at the short boy.

"Dude! I told you to leave Y/N out of this!" Kaminari yelled.

"Denki Kaminari, I will give you three seconds to explain why you're getting girls into skimpy cheerleading costumes," you fumed at your childhood friend.

"In my defense, I was left unsupervised with a pervert."

"Yeah let me write that on your tombstone real quick, in my defense my ass. Bullshit, kids these days," you ranted.

"You're barely older than me!" The electricity wielder whined.

"What's going on?" Hatsume joined the conversation, hearing the commotion from afar.

"Mei-Chan my dearest friend, do you think Y/N here would look good in a cheerleading costume?" Kaminari asked, slinging his arm over her shoulders and getting extremely close. All while keeping steady eye contact with you. Mei then looked you up and down and shoved him off.

"Yep, she'd be pretty cute in one. Why?" She asked, oblivious.

Kaminari raised an eyebrow at you and smirked, awaiting a response.

"Give me 100 yen and I'll think about it," you groaned.

"Done!" The two boys handed you 50 each and lead you to the other girls, where Momo was measuring everyone to make the costumes.

"Oh Shirakumo-San! I didn't know you'd participate, do you know your measurements or should I take them?" The raven haired girl asked.

"No, can you take them? But I do have one request if that's possible..." you trailed off, fidgeting with your fingers.

"Sure, what is it?" She nodded, continuing to measure Jirou.

"Can you make my skirt longer? I don't want too much skin to be shown off," you mumbled.

"Alright, I'll do my best!" She smiled.

Before you knew it, you were all measured and suited up, ready to go on stage. And when the 7 of you entered, let's just say Kaminari and Mineta weren't the only ones with nosebleeds. Hatsume, one of the most stoic people you knew, was blushing and staring at your figure, causing you to blush in response.

You didn't participate in the girls' cheering routine, but stuck alongside Kaminari and Hatsume and changed out of the costume almost immediately.

"So.. is this why you asked me if I think she'd look good?" Mei raised an eyebrow.

"Well yes but also because I wanted to see your reaction if it actually happened and it seems to have ended in a sort of gay panic- NO DON'T KILL ME MEI-CHAN!" He squealed, running off, completely and utterly terrified of the devil in pink.
