Chapter 17

"The rules are simple," started Midnight. She then went on to explain the rules and regulations for the game. The competitors were given ten minutes to arrange themselves in groups of four, with one of them riding on top and in charge of collecting headbands, and the other three being the "horses" that worked on offense and defense of the rider.

"Oh right! I forgot to say congratulations, students! First place gets ten million points! And the rest of you gets point values assigned based on where you placed in the race: it's kind of confusing so I'll display your points on the board here!"

Izuku was surrounded by the hungry glares of his classmates. No one would want to partner up with the poor boy. It was just too risky. Even Uraraka, who seemed to always be around him, looked scary.

The R rated Pro looked amused. "Alright, get grouping! See you in ten minutes!" she said, stepping down from the podium.

'Hmm, I don't really have a good quirk for this game at all... I hope at least someone's willing to have me on their team.' Y/n was once again nervous for what was to come.

"Heya! You're that girl from earlier, right? What's your name?" asked the blonde girl from before. She had a perfect American accent, so she was definitely a foreigner. 

"Um, Y/n L/n. What about you?" Y/n had a very tiny Japanese accent when speaking in English.

"I'm Pony Tsunotori! And this here's my classmate (and best friend), Neito Monoma! Wanna' team up? We'll be great, I'm sure of it!" Pony said with a cute accent in Japanese.

'Neito Monoma' had blond hair as well, except his blue eyes were more of a stormy grey than Tsunotori's greener ones.
He was also almost a head taller than Y/n.

"Are you sure about this one, Pony? She doesn't look like much."

Y/n swore she could feel a vein bulging from her forehead. "Excuse me?"

"Hey, can I join your team too?" A voice called out from behind Y/n. Jogging towards them came a student who was covered in...

brown... fur........

"YOU?!"

"YOU?!"

It was the student Y/n slid under during the first game!

"That was an underhanded tactic during the race!" Growled the bear-like student.

"B- but it worked!" said Y/n in response.

"We don't have time for this! Are you joining the team or not?!" Monoma looked irritated.

The bearded student grabbed his own face to show his annoyance. "Fine. I'll be one of the horses."

The group formed a plan. Tsunotori would be the leading horse, Y/n as the rider, Monoma as the right side horse and Jurota Shishida (the brown haired student that got angry at Y/n) as the left side horse.

At first Y/n felt embarrassed to be sitting on top of an attractive boy's shoulders, but then Monoma's mean attitude overrode her feelings and she was able to sit on top of the three students without any issues. Really, this situation would have made her red faced if Monoma and Shishida weren't so rude.

Monoma originally wanted to be the rider so that he could be in charge, but Y/n didn't have a strong enough physique to carry him on her back, so the sacrifice had to be made. According to the plan, Monoma and Shishida would be on the defence, guarding her two sides while Tsunotori would be the leading horse, in charge of running fast so that they could catch up to other teams and snatch their headbands. The formation was a little bit weird because of how tall Shishida was, and because he wanted to be the front horse at first, but they ultimately decided his abilities were better suited to guard, and that Tsunotori should be at the front because of how fast her hooves could take them. With Monoma's amazing Copy quirk, he could also easily defend the team by using any potential attacker's quirks against them.

Y/n felt like she was the most useless member on the team.

"So we know what we're doing, do you remember what your job is, L/n?" asked Tsunotori. Wow, she was so cute. Wait what?

"Um, yeah. I just gotta protect my headband and try to grab others' to collect points, right?"

"Right!"

"What about your quirk? Aren't you going to use it to get an advantage? Don't tell me you're completely useless, L/n-chan?~" Monoma taunted.

Pony gave him a pout. "Hey! That's mean, Neito!"

Monoma turned away, cheeks just the slightest bit pink. "My bad, Pony." 

"But L/n, it's true that we need to know how you're going to use your quirk to take advantage!"

"Um--"

"Ten minutes are up! Students, line up to tell Midnight your teams, and then we can begin!"

Y/n sighed. "C'mon guys, let's go confirm our teammates."

Monoma made a "tch" noise, but followed without complaint, Shishida and Tsunotori coming right behind him.

-

After all the teams were marked down, the groups of students separated on the battlefield and got into formation. 

"L/n-san, you'd better be ready." stated Shishida gruffly.

Tsunotori cheerfully put a fist in the air. "Let's do our best, you guys!!"

"We're going to win this," Monoma reassured himself.

Y/n licked her lips nervously.

"Three! Two! One! START!!"

With the shriek of a whistle, the next game began!
