Sports Festival. (Part 3)

{POV Ryuu.}

I heard murmurs of the word human calvary from all across the remaining students as they sounded a little confused on how that was supposed to work.

"You can all form 2-4 person teams freely and form a horseback configuration! It's the same rules as a normal human cavalry battle: swipe the enemy riders' headbands and guard your own. Except for a little twist…" Midnight then paused slightly with a slight glint in her eye to build tension.

"Everyone will receive points based on their performance in the last trail!"

Rikido spoke with confidence in his voice saying that it was similar to the entrance exam's points system. I even heard the invisible girl speak up saying that the value would change depending on the person behind it.

Midnight even cracked her whip shouting out loud, frustrated that my class was easily able to say what she was about to say. Before Midnight quickly crossed her arms over her chest and huffed slightly before she continued on with the explanation.

"Yes, that's right!! The number of points you're worth will be five points if you've placed 42nd, ten for 41st, fifteen for 40th yada, yada, yada…"

Then I saw a gleam flash in Midnight's eye as she started to stare in my direction which made me wonder why? I even felt the entire stadium's cameras focus on me as I started to frown a little.

Then Midnight took a deep breath as she loudly proclaimed and pointed in my direction with a small smile on her face while winking.

"With the exception of first place whose head is worth Ten Million Points!!! If I were you I'd aim for Ryuu since he placed first, this is a chance for the low to supplant the high! Welcome to our survival game!!"

My brow raised slightly after Midnight finished with her explanation.

I wasn't even surprised. Rather I felt insulted when I heard such a low number for my position. "Ten million, really. That's it… that's such a low number." I said in a low tone as I felt the looks of astonishment from everyone else, while I felt Mei's hungry stare as if she saw a golden ticket.

Then I felt everyone's hungry eyes as they stared in my direction as if something had clicked in all their minds. That or they all saw me as a giant slab of meat.

I smiled in a relaxed manner as I ignored their stares as I just waved at everyone else.

"The time limit is fifteen minutes, the point value of each cavalry's headband is worth the total point accumulation of each member. The one to wear the headband will be the warhorse's rider. Until time is up, you'll all be fighting, and stealing as many headbands as you can…"

Midnight continued to explain the rules of the human cavalry battle in a relaxed and poised manner. She even mentioned that everyone is allowed to use their quirks. Even going as far as anything malicious would become a red flag.

"All right with all that explained you now have fifteen minutes until the start of the event. Start your negotiations!!"

I was easily able to spot Mei rushing over as quickly as possible, she even leaped when she got close as I easily caught her. "Well this should be a cinch then shouldn't it, Mei." I said with a smile on my face as I embraced her.

"Of course it will. With your strength and the use of my super cute babies, we will win and capture so many headbands." Mei said with a confident smile on her face.

I smiled as well when I saw Meis smile.

I also saw Tsuyu even hopping her way over as even Fumikage was close behind her.

"Well it seems as if we have our team Mei, and I doubt only a few of the other students will even try to steal my worthless headband." I nodded my head towards Bakugous group, Shotos group, and Mezos group. "They should be the only challenging ones if they try, then others will only lose their headbands."

Mei smiled before releasing our embrace as she started to pull out multiple different types of her super cute babies. I even saw her take out a couple of her super cute and deadly babies, before she quickly put them away with a shameless smile on her face.

I just smiled. Tsuyu started to smile before she saw something from Meis pile as a look of interest formed in her eyes. Fumikage did the same but shook his head as he didn't find anything as he greeted me with a fist bump.

I was about to ask how Fumikage was doing before I heard the hero boy Deku burst out in surprise, screaming Uraraks name as his eyes unleashed a massive amount of water works.

I even nudged Fumikage and pointed at Deku to make sure I wasn't seeing things, with a small amount of disbelief on my face.

They, just, don't seem to stop. This… this is normal?

Then Dekus waterworks just seemed to stop before both Fumikage and I saw Deku's face scrunch up like a dry and old sponge.

"You know I really have a hard time remembering that this is normal for him, but still it's always something with him isn't it. It almost seems as if he's important and exaggerated on purpose." I spoke out loud as Fumikage asked if I was ok as I sighed and nodded my head.

I just ignored Deku as I started to pay attention to the other teams and their choices for the event as some had decent teams. Mei was easily able to equip Tsuyu and herself rather quickly as we were able to make the composition for our warhorse.

I was the rider while Mei was on my right with Tsuyu on my left, leaving Fumikage in the front.

The rest of the time went by rather quickly as everyone started to scramble a little in order to make their teams. We were all quickly handed our designed headbands before we all started to be placed across the stadium.

"Now raise up your war cries!! And fire the signal! May the blood on the rocks be washed by yet more blood! Now's the time for the U.A.'s deadly feud!!" I was rather impressed when I heard Present Mics speech as it was a rather good one.

"All right, you all have formed your little teams!!? Well, if not then that's too bad, as you should have! Let's do it, come on let's start the countdown to this vicious clash!!

"3!!! 2!!! 1…!!! Lets Freaking GOOOOOO!!!!!

The stadium burst into a thunderous cheer as Present Mic finished his speech.

I felt a few groups immediately charge towards my group's direction with looks of greed and challenge in their eyes. I even heard both Mei and Tsuyu start to laugh in a mischievous tone as Fumikage's dark shadow burst out with a roar.

The other group's riders yelled out in a challenge as they continued to get closer and closer. I just started to smirk as I unleashed my war domain as the weight of one-thousand fully armored soldiers spread out.

The moment the other students entered my war domain they started to visibly pale as the others had a hard time moving forward because of the added weight that they all felt. The riders didn't even notice when Mei and Tsuyu attacked as they both were easily able to steal their headbands.

Such an easy bait tactic, give one student the biggest number and they all start to lose focus on the bigger picture. It's not about taking the big score, it's about racking up as many points as you can while working together.

I noticed that the groups that I thought we needed to worry about never focused on our group, so far. As I noticed they were going after other students who were lost in greed.

Then I noticed a very obvious glare from a certain icy-hot person that I started to smirk a little.

"Well it seems like only Shoto wants to challenge the top, shall we entertain him?" I asked with a little playfulness in my voice as Mei started to laugh in a shameless manner.

"Seems like a fun challenge, ribbit. I hope your under armor works Mei, as I don't do too well in the cold, ribbit." Tsuyu spoke with a little bit of worry in her voice while Mei smiled while saying of course.

Fumikage remained silent as he seemed to be focused, but his eagerness and excitement showed up in dark shadow as it's eyes started to glow a little brighter as it smiled.

"Well would you look at that ladies and gents, not even a minute in the competition and we already have a melee of tumultuous proportions on our hands! Anywhere you look teams are vying for the other headbands!!" Present Mic shouted over the system as the crowd reacted in kind with the same enthusiasm.

"After all it's a decent strategy to aim for the second to fourth place headbands, but it still seems as if the others are trying to go after the prized ten million headband."

The moment Present Mic finished hyping the crowd I saw Shoto immediately signal to a couple others as they started their charge. I smiled as two other groups joined him as they split up in order to try and corner us from escaping.

Well, well, well, it seems as icy-hot as a decent head on his shoulders after all.

"Mei, Tsuyu! Focus on the other groups as they try to attack from our blindspots. Fumikage it seems like we're going to have to show this brat a proper response since he is so sincere."

Everyone smiled as they nodded their heads as we all started to prepare for the assault of the deadly and fierce icy-hot cut off strategy.
