The finish line is near.
It was approaching faster and faster.
Present Mic: And first place goes too...
Both boys dashed towards the finish line and stepped over it.
Present Mic: It's a tie!! Midoriya Izuku and Yukimura Mikoto both come in first!!
The crowd erupted in cheers as both boys slow to a stop once they pass the finish line, and stand there panting for a few moments.
Deku: We...We...did it...We both made it.
Mikoto: Yeah...*Pants* Wow! That was thrilling.
Deku: You did a good job Miichan.
Mikoto:...What are you talking about. It was originally your idea...I just kind of stole it.
Deku: You mean the launchpad. I'm surprised you did that.
Mikoto: Well...If you did it...What's stopping me from doing it as well?
Both boys smiled at each other until they saw Bakugo growling in rage and Todoroki quietly fuming at his lost.
The other classmates show up as well.
Uraraka: Deku-kun! Miichan! That was amazing!
Sylvia: Wow...Good job! The both of you.
Iida: It's very impressive that you both came in first.
Tsuyu: I guess that's what they call good sportsmanship.
Haru: W-Well...They did cross the finish line together and did it as a team.
Kenji: Hey...Is it me or when those two are around...It's like no one can defeat them?
Uraraka: Yeah! Because they're unbeatable!
Haru: T-The Unbeatable Duo!!!!
Deku and Mikoto looked at each other until they started laughing at their friends antics. Their friends join in on the laugh, and hug each other tighter as everyone else finishes the first round of the Sports Festival.
.....
Although... Mikoto could've swore he felt Shouto's pensive stare watching his back.
-Plus Ultra-
Midnight: Now that everyone has completed the first round, we may continue to the second round!
The option randomizer behind her spins for a while, then lands on...
Midnight: A Cavalry Battle!
Mikoto: Cavalry Battle....?
Sylvia: (What's that...?)
Midnight: Here's how the Cavalry Battle works! First, you team up in groups of around two to four people. One person sits on top, and the rest of the team carries them! Each team will have a headband with an assigned point value! To gain more points, you must steal the headband from an opposing team!
Haru: U-Umm...How are the points values assigned?
Midnight: How are the point values assigned, you ask? It's based upon what place you came in for the first round, and then added up together with the other members of the team! The forty-second place has five points, forty-first place has ten points, and so on increasing by five all the way to the top! Except... for first place!
Deku: Eh...?
Midnight: Since first place was a tie, the number is split, but both the first place winners will be assigned five million points each!
Mikoto: Five Million?!!!
Deku: T-Then that's means...
Since both of them got five million points...together...that would equal to ten million points.
Ten...Million...Points...Oh God...
Soon enough, everyone turns towards Deku and Mikoto giving them stares like they were desirable targets. You could feel the killer intent in the air.
Mikoto and Izuku share a nervous face as sweat beam down their faces.
Deku: M-M-Miichan...?
Mikoto: Y-Yes...?
Deku: We're dead aren't we...?
Mikoto:.....So Dead.....
Midnight: That's it for the explanation! Good luck finding teams!
-Eventually-
Mikoto: H-Hey...Izuku...As much I love you in a brotherly way...but I don't think we can work together
...Everyone will come after us if we do...
Deku: A-Alright...
Mikoto: So then...Let's find our teammates...
Deku: Good luck Miichan!
Mikoto: *Smiles* You too...
...So far, the past few minutes, both boys weren't able to find anyone to team up with them. Izuku tried to get Ojiro to be his teammate but the tail boy politely shot him down with a small "I'm sorry".
Mikoto was also having rotten luck. Everytime he walks towards one of his own classmates, they would back away.
Mikoto: I feel like I'm going to cry....
Almost like an angel, a voice came from behind to answer his cry for help.
Sylvia: Hey Mikoto, wanna team up?
Oh Heavenly Days~!!!
Mikoto:*Happy* SYLVIA-CHAN!!!
Sylvia: Eh...? Something wrong...?
Mikoto: No no! I'm just surprised that you want to help me...?
Sylvia: Pfft. Everyone else is just scared of the competition or maybe it's because your point values are too high. I saw how miserable you looked and I decided to help you as a friend. So let's team up!
Mikoto: Y-Yeah! Great!
Sylvia: Alright then. Let's go find our other teammates.
Before they could move on, another voice called out to them.
???: Hey you two.
They turned their heads to see a boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes. He had a smile on his face. But for some reason, the smile was anything but pleasant.
Mikoto: Uh...Yes?
Neito: I'm Monoma Neito from Class 1-B.
Sylvia:....Nice to meet you I guess...
Neito: Likewise!
Mikoto: What's your quirk?
Neito: My quirk is copy which allows me to utilize other quirks after coming in contact with anyone. Wanna team up?
Mikoto's face brighten up at the suggestion.
Mikoto: R-Really...?!
Neito: Yes. I heard your classmates a while ago said that they can't stand Class 1-A taking all the credit. Is that true...?
Neito had an questioning look as Sylvia narrowly responded.
Sylvia: Um...Yes?
The boy made a happy smile for some reason that put both Mikoto and Sylvia off.
Neito: Oh good! I thought my class was the only one~! I can't stand them either! They think that we're better than us! I'll show them. I want to win this festival as much as you guys! That's why I think we should all work together so we take down Class 1-A! What do you guys say?!
Mikoto: Uh...Okay...I'm guess that's fine...(As much as I want to say no...But we're running out of time. We need all the help we can get.)
Neito: Alright! I'm glad we all agree with each other~! Yukimura, was it?Let's crush Class 1-A together and rubbed the glory in their faces! Hahahahahahahahahaha~~~~!
Mikoto and Sylvia backed away a little with disturbed looks as the mentally unstable boy laughed his head off.
Oh Great...they're dealing with a psychopath.
Sylvia: Well Shit...What did we get ourselves into...?
Mikoto: I have no idea...
Neito ignored them, stopped laughing, and looked around.
Neito: So whose our other teammate?
Mikoto: Oh right...We only have a few minutes left....Hmm...
Mikoto scanned the area. He would asked for either Haru, Hein, Riku, Souta, or Kenji...But they were off looking for other teammates. They need someone to help carry them to safety...
He noticed Izuku already has his own team and he was glad he did. Uraraka and Tokoyami were good choices
...But...why was Mei Hatsume with them???
...You know what...He didn't want to know...She probably persuade him into letting her join...
Then that's when he saw him.
One familiar boy was looking around...But it seem like he didn't have no one to team up with.
Mikoto quickly went over to him. Sylvia and Neito closely following behind him. The snow quirk user manages to catch up to the white hair and raccoon eyed boy.
Mikoto: Hey Yin! Want to work together?!
The quiet ghost boy stops to thinks a minute on the question and nodded.
Yin: Sure...I got nothing better to do....
Mikoto: Awesome! (And just in time too! The Cavalry Battle is starting!)
