The Second Round! Time To Form A Team

Shortly after Reina was brought to Recovery Girl, she was quick to check her over when she was told that she had overused her Quirk. After doing a motor skill test, she determined nothing was wrong much to Reina and Katsuki's relief. Though Katsuki could tell by the look on her face that she was troubled and so he asked her what had happened exactly. Though Reina had been hesitant, she had explained to Katsuki exactly what she saw before she had stepped on the mine in the obstacle course race, once Recovery Girl left the room to attend to something.

Katsuki sat there after she had explained it to him, taking in this newfound information. "Your sword?" He said, "You saw someone using your own sword?"

"Yeah… Pretty crazy right?" She said as she stretched a little as she sat at the bedside.

"Crazy's not the word I would use." He said, rubbing the back of his neck, "... Do you have an idea on what mystery swordsman is at least?"

Reina shook her head, "... All I know is, whoever used my sword was a woman… But other than that, I have no idea who it could have been..."

They both couldn't help but groan in disappointment at this, "We're really getting nowhere with this aren't we?" Reina said with a small smile.

"Ya think!?" He told her before hitting her on the head lightly making her flinch, "At this point, I'm not even sure if your Quirk is trying to tell you something or if it's just downright messing with you!"

Reina couldn't help but let out another groan, "Not only that… We won't have anything to go on even when the Sports Festival is over… We might have to call off the search before it even starts…"

Katsuki saw the look she was giving as she looked sad, which couldn't help but feel irritated at it. "Will you stop looking so depressed?!" Katsuki said to her, surprising her a bit, "It's pissing me off seeing that kind of look on your face!"

"I… Can't help it." Reina tol him as she was still down, "... It seems like with everything I see, it just brings us--brings ME back to the drawing board of all this. I'm trying to look on the bright side of it, but let's face it… There is no bright side."

Katsuki tried to retort at this, but he couldn't find the words to say to cheer her up. He couldn't help but click his tongue as he turned to the side.

"Izuku-kun and Floyd-kun…" Reina said, "... I ended up troubling them again, like I've always had… I could've put myself back into the hospital after what happened… What would Shota say?" She let out a sigh, "Maybe I should back out of the Sports Festival while I still have the chance…"

This time Katsuki was put into shock at this as Reina stood up from the bed, "Yeah, actually that's the best course of action… I have to back out before I get myself hurt, or worse… Get others hurt…" She started to make her way towards the door, but before she could exit, she felt Katsuki grab her by the jacket of her PE uniform before she was thrown over to the wall, being held a couple of inches off of the ground.

"OW!!" She exclaimed, struggling against his grip, "KATSUKI-KUN! YOU'RE HURTI--"

SMACK!

Reina had been abruptly cut off when she felt Katsuki's hand go across her face, as she felt a stinging pain on her cheek, making her freeze up. She looked at Katsuki, his eyes hidden underneath the shadow of his bangs. "Idiot." He said, putting his forehead against her own, "You really are such an idiot…"

"Katsuki-kun?" She said with confusion.

"You're letting those son of a bitches get to you." He said, as she felt his hand start to shake as she had been lowered onto the ground, "You're letting the past get to you, and it's pissing me off even more."

"Ka--"

"JUST SHUT UP!"

Reina was taken back a little at the tone of voice Katsuki was using, as he let go of her jacket, now placing both of his hands on her shoulders. He kept his head down as he continued, "... You said you're going to hurt people, but that's just an idea that those bastards put in your head. You haven't hurt anyone, and you're sure as hell not any trouble. It's like I told you…"

He picked up his head to look at her when he pulled back, and Reina's eyes widened when she saw that tears had threatened to fall, despite his usual expression he gave. "You're the strongest person I know… You always seem to know what to do when push comes to shove. Even when your scared you always find a way to help someone. You've even put up with someone like me."

Reina tried to say something again, but she found her words had stalled when he pulled her in for a hug, "You're stronger than you think."

Reina couldn't help but blush, as she felt her heart beat fast as if it was in a marathon. "What is this?" She thought in her head, as she soon found herself shaking, "My heart... It's going so fast… But… This is Katsuki-kun! We've exchanged hugs before, but this one is… Different. I don't understand--Why… Why is it like this?"

Katsuki soon spoke up again, as he tightened his embrace around her, putting his hand on the back of her head, pressing against her ponytail, "Reina… I want—Actually, I NEED to tell you something. Something important."

"Wha—" Reina stammered, "—What is it?"

She felt Katsuki take a shaky breath; breaking out of the hug, he looked into her eyes, her noticing that his face was just as red as hers.

"Reina Nouki… The truth is… I lo—"

BANG!!

They jumped at the sound of the door getting kicked down, as someone quite literally slid into the room. This was of course revealed to be Floyd who came into the room, sliding in courtesy of a trail of ink.

He couldn't help but shout, as he came to a halt, "YO REINA-CHAN, EVERYTHING OKA--GREAT JUMPING JEHOSAPHAT! WHAT'S GOING ON?!"

Reina and Katsuki immediately backed away from each other; With Reina holding her hands up as if she was surrendering, and Katsuki turning to Floyd and yelling as his face was still red, "F*** OFF HALFBREED! DIDN'T YOUR INKHEADED FOLKS TEACH YOU HOW TO KNOCK!?"

Floyd yelled back at him, "BITE ME! YOU WERE DOING WEIRD SHIT TO REINA! NEED I REMIND YOU YOUR STILL FIFTEEN!"

"QUIT JUMPING THE GUN YOU INKHEADED BASTARD!!" He yelled as his hands started to spark.

"OH, YOU WANNA DIE NOW HUH!?" Floyd shouted as he got his Quirk ready.

Reina just stood there speechless as she watched them argue with one another, her face was still flushed with red. It hadn't been long before Izuku came into the room.

"Reina-chan, are you feeling be--" Izuku said before noticing Floyd and Katsuki about to go at it, "Oh God, not again!"

Lena and Aaron soon came into the room, seeing what was about to happen.

Aaron said surprised, as the two teens stared daggers at one another, "Woah there, now that's something I haven't seen in forever!"

"GOD-DAMN IT!" Lena yelled, "YOU'RE ALREADY DONE WITH THE FIRST ROUND AND YOU WANT TO GO AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS AGAIN BEFORE THE SECOND ROUND IS EVEN ANNOUNCED!"

"HE STARTED IT!" Both Bakugou and Floyd shouted before they turned to each other before screaming "WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT F***ING REPEATING WHAT I'M SAYING?!"

"Whoa, that was timed perfectly." Aaron said honestly, impressed.

"Excuse me…" Lena said, before she drew up a hammer. She approached the two boys; in one swing she knocked the two of them right into the wall causing them to get stuck and the wall to crack, surprising Reina and Izuku; Aaron however looked unphased.

Lena yelled at the two of them, "ENOUGH ALREADY! IT'S BAD ENOUGH YOU TWO FIGHT OUTSIDE AND ON SCHOOL GROUNDS, BUT TO PICK A FIGHT HERE IS UNFORGIVABLE! IN FRONT OF REINA-CHAN NO LESS!!"

"Are those two okay?" Izuku said as he stammered.

"I honestly don't think they're alive…" Reina added as she slumped a little.

Aaron shook his head as he said, "That's my lil sister for ya."

Floyd and Katsuki got themselves out of the wall as they rubbed their faces while groaning. "Goddamnit…" Katsuki groaned while rubbing his face.

Floyd said to his sister, "Again with the hammer?"

"YES THE HAMMER SINCE YOU KIDS DON'T KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE!" Lena yelled.

Aaron soon bonked Lena on the head as he said to the teens, "I agree. You two can save it for the match" he turned tk Lena as he said "And your teacher here needs to learn other ways of discipline"

"THIS IS DISCIPLINE!" Lena yelled.

"NO! IT'S NOT, IT'S ABUSE!!" Floyd shouted.

"IF YOU HIT ME AGAIN I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KILL YOU!" Katsuki yelled.

They both bonked on the head by Lena again as she shouted, "RESPECT YOUR TEACHERS YOU TWO! Or ELSE I'LL--"

Before she can swing her ink hammer,the weapon suddenly melted before her eyes, also drenching her in the process, surprising most of them. "Oh no..." Lena said with fear.

"Miss Aihara… I already talked to your parents about Floyd's behavior. Are you sure you want me to do the same to you?" said a voice too familiar with the group. They turned to see Aizawa who had his Quirk active.

"Shota." Reina said, surprised to see him.

"Aizawa-sensei!?" Izuku and Floyd exclaimed.

Lena let out a groan as she said to him, "Hey Boss..please don't fire me..."

"Get back to the box." Shota merely said, as he deactivated his Quirk, "I'll have a talk with you later."

"Yes sir!" Lena said fastly as she ran out.

"Wow, it seems like our inkheaded teacher has another fear besides your inkheaded big brother." Katsuki said as he rubbed his head.

"I'll say.." Floyd agreed.

Reina soon turned to her Guardian, "What are you doing--OUCH!" Reina had been cut off abruptly when she felt Shota kick her knee hard, causing her to hop as she grasped it.

"DUDE! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Reina couldn't help but yell as she rubbed her knee.

"You idiot." Shota said to her, "I told you not to overdo it, and you end up doing it anyway."

"You try recovering after a mine blows up right in your face!" Reina yelled at him. Reina cried out in agony again when Shota hit her in the knee again making everyone in the room jump just as Reina fell on her sighed grasping her knee as she cried a little.

"Why do you do this to me…?" She groaned.

"It's your own damn fault for not listening to me." Shota said to her.

"Still… Hitting me on the knees is sinking a new low even for you…" She groaned.

"Have to make sure you get the message somehow."

"You have a real funny way of sending your quote on quote messages…"

"... Somehow Aizawa-sensei is more scary as a Guardian than he is as a teacher…" Izuku said awkwardly as his body shook a little.

Floyd added as he started to sweat a little, "Hate to have him as a guardian.."

Aaron laughed a little before he said, "That's Aizawa for ya!"He soon noticed the time on his watch, as Aaron said to the teens in the room, "Well I gotta get back! Good luck in the second round guys!"

"Oh yeah that's right!" Izuku said, turning to Reina who picked herself up off the ground, "That's why Floyd-san and I are here in the first place; we're here to take you back to the field for the second round."

"Did they announce what it was going to be yet?" She asked as she shook her legs a little.

"No." Floyd replied with a smile, "Guess they must've been waiting on ya!"

"You kids head back to the field already. You're wasting too much time." Shota said, "Do me a favor and don't half ass it out there."

Floyd saluted as he said with a smile, "You got it!"

"Yes sir!" Izuku said.

"Whatever." Katsuki added.

"Gotcha Scruffy." Reina said.

The four of them went to exit the room and they proceeded down the hall back towards the field. Reina looked back over to Katsuki who had been farther from the group, noticing that he had a disappointed look on his face and kept to himself as he looked to the ground as he walked.

"I wonder what Katsuki-kun wanted to tell me earlier…" She thought to himself as she put her hand over her chest, "... It seemed like it was really important… I wonder what could have been…"

***

The crowd cheered loudly as many people threw confetti when Reina and the others returned to join their class. Almost immediately after they did, practically everyone gathered around Reina; all of them had a look of worry.

"Are you okay Reina-chan!?" Ochaco asked.

"You're not sick are you?!" Momo said.

"Are you hurt!?" Tenya asked, holding up two fingers, "How many fingers do you see!?"

"Do you feel any pain Rei-Rei!?" Mina asked.

"Are you sure you feel alright to continue!?" Chouko added.

"Guys, calm down." Reina said calmly, "Luckily I didn't overdo it with my Quirk, so I'll be just fine."

Everyone had sighed with relief at this, "Thank goodness." Chouko said, "You really had us worried."

"Sorry about that." Reina said, rubbing the back of her head. Though she had been busy conversing with her classmates, she didn't realize Mineta had been eyeing Reina's bottom in particular as he started to drool.

"Oh man I didn't get my chance during that race, but at least I was able to ride on Yaoyorozu…" Mineta said doing his best to wipe away the drool, "... You wait my sweet angel, just you wa--"

It hadn't been long before he realized two people were staring daggers at him. Turns out it was Katsuki and Floyd, who had both noticed how he was eyeing Reina just now.

"What do you think you're doing extra?" Katsuki said as his hands started to spark

"So bub...how would you wanna die?" Floyd added as ink started to come from his right hand.

"GAH! WHEN DID YOU GUYS GET HERE!?" Mineta yelled.

"Quit staring at her ass, and I'll consider you letting you live another day." Katsuki threatened to put his hand close to him as he gave an evil smile.

"Yeah man. If you know what's good for ya!" Floyd added, drawing up a knife, before he got it close to his face. "Unless you wanna be real grape juice!"

"I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WANTED TO BE HEROES!!" Mineta shouted as he tried to move away from them just as their shadows loomed over him.

The minute Reina turned around to Floyd and Katsuki, she saw that Mineta had been buried deep within the ground with a sign that had read, "DO NOT UNEARTH UNTIL 3020". "Should I even ask?" Reina asked, looking at Floyd and Katsuki.

"Nah, just know that I feel satisfied." Katsuki replied as he cracked his knuckles.

Floyd added as he also had a satisfied smile, "No worries dude."

"You two already worry me." Reina said with a dead fish look in her eye, "Aren't you guys supposed to be rivals? Why are you getting buddy buddy all of a sudden?"

"WE STILL HATE EACH OTHER!" They both yelled, making her jump a little.

"And we're back with our regularly scheduled program." Reina said with a sigh and a shrug.

Soon enough their attention was drawn to Nemuri as she had tapped on the microphone. "We apologize for the wait!" She said to the crowd and students, "I think we can all agree that the first event of the Sports Festival has certainly been an eventful one, especially to those tying at the top! But don't worry to those that didn't do well, don't worry; We've prepared other chances for you all to shine!"

The slot machine activated just behind her, and it started it up.

"Now then, here's the second game!" Nemuri said, "I already know what it is, but what it could be? What could it be? I just said it, now here it is!"

The slot machine soon stopped as it had read, "Calvary Battle."

"Calvary Battle?" Denki said, "I'm bad at those…"

"It's not an individual event, so I wonder how it'll work…" Tsuyu said.

"Allow me to explain how this event will work!" Nemuri said, before the screen changed to what looked to be examples of what exactly they would be doing. She started her explanation, "The participants can form teams of two to four people as they wish. It's basically the same as a regular cavalry battle, but the only difference is… Based on the results of the last game, each person has been assigned a point value."

"So it's a point based system huh…?" Reina said a bit amazed that they would take that route.

"Oh, so it's like the Entrance Exams!" Gio said, "I get it now!"

"I guess that means each team is worth different points depending who's going to be on the team." Ochaco concluded.

"Now I get it!" Mina said.

Floyd added with a smile, "Just like that game I used to play as a kid!"

"YOU GUYS DON'T HOLD BACK WHEN I'M TALKING HUH!?" They heard Nemuri shout as they froze up when they saw her giving them a demonic look that would even send a monster heading for the hills.

"That's right, Nemuri-san hates it when she's interrupted by someone." Reina said awkwardly as her body shook slightly.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THAT SOONER!?" Floyd shouted at her as he slapped her.

"BECAUSE I FORGOT ABOUT IT SO SUE ME INKY!!" Reina yelled back at him.

"Is it strange to say that I'm turned on by her?" Gio asked, as everyone gave him an awkward look as they remained silent.

"And I thought Mineta here has a fetish." Floyd said with a sigh.

"But yes they are correct!" Nemuri soon said after she cleared her throat; soon enough the leaderboard appeared just behind her, "And these are the points assigned! Go up by five from the bottom to the top! So 42nd gets five points, and 41st gets ten points. And the point value assigned to the one in first place has… TEN MILLION POINTS!"

Everyone of the students gasped at this, as did Reina, Izuku and Floyd as their jaws dropped. "Ten million points!? That's insane!" Reina exclaimed.

"Yeah, no kidding!" Floyd said, "Wait…" Floyd started to scratch his head as he asked, "... Who got in first place in the obstacle course race again?"

Reina thought to herself as she replied, "If I remember correctly, I got in second place technically… So I guess it was Izu--" Reina's eyes widened in shock as did Floyd as they realized who exactly was lucky enough to get the ten million points. They both turned to Izuku as he started to sweat up a storm as he realized what he was in for.

"Oh Shi…" Reina started to say.

"...Take mushrooms." Floyd finished.

"TE--TE--TE--TEN MILLION POINTS!?" Izuku exclaimed as his body shook.

It hadn't been long before they realized that everyone, even their own classmates, stared daggers at Izuku, making the two of them jump. "HOLY CRAP! WE HAVE AN ARMY!" Reina shouted.

Floyd yelled as he didn't know what to do at the moment, "THIS IS WORSE THAN OUR TIME IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!"

"That's right." Nemuri said, from the stage as she licked her lips, "It's survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top!"

The three of them had their heads darted around the area as they looked at the many glaring faces that a lot of the students had on Izuku. "Guys, what do we do!?" Izuku asked with a whisper, looking to Reina and Floyd for support.

"Don't panic, Izuku-kun!" Reina said, "We can make this work if we team up in the cavalry battle!"

Floyd added with a whisper as he gave Izuku a thumbs up, "Yeah man, since you're considered a power type, Reina tecnichally has Flight, and I got speed. We can do a team blast to take them on!"

"WHY ARE WE TEAM SONIC ALL OF A SUDDEN?!" Reina and Izuku whispered.

"Now then, I will explain the rules of the cavalry battle!" Nemuri said, just as the leaderboard disappeared, and it showed an image of Hizashi and Thirteen, carrying All Might, "The time limit is fifteen minutes. Each team is worth the total of its members points. The riders will wear a headband with that number on their foreheads. The opposing teams will try to grab each other's headbands until time runs out, and try to keep as many points as they can. The stolen headband however must be worn from the neck up; the more you steal the harder it'll be to manage them! And the most important thing is that even if your headband gets stolen, or if your team falls, you're not out!"

"Wait a second…" Reina said, "... I know math isn't my strongest department, but if there's a total of 47 of us, there might be a certain number of teams at the same time."

"Are you serious, at the same time!?" Gio exclaimed.

"Then…" Mina started to think aloud, "... One strategy could be to let someone take your points first so you'll be more free."

"It's hard to say without seeing how all the points end up splitting up Mina-chan." Tsuyu said.

Nemuri had continued on, "Now during the game, it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your Quirks, but nonetheless it is still a cavalry battle. You'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose. You'll be removed immediately!"

Most of Class 1A looked to Katsuki and Floyd at this, making the two of them flinch. "Oh, you're kidding me." Katsuki said after he clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Floyd said to his classmates, "Oh...really dudes?"

"With that being said…" Nemuri said, before showing a clock just behind her, "... You all have fifteen minutes to build your teams! Better get started!"

"Okay, like we planned!" Reina said to Izuku and Floyd, "We're gonna team up together!"

"Yup, all we need is one more to fill the--Huh?" Floyd started to say before he had gotten cut off. The next thing Reina and Izuku knew, Floyd had been dragged off by some of the students from Class 1B and General Studies as they wanted Floyd to be paired up with one of them.

"Hey, be on my team, Aihara!"

"No, be on my team!"

"Please team up with me Aihara!"

"P-p-please be on m-m-my team, Aihara-kun!"

Floyd couldn't help but say as he started to sweat nervously, "One at a time, kids! One at a time." He turned to Izuku and Reina as he whispered as he had sparkling tears go down his cheek, "I'm sorry...I failed you two."

Reina and Izuku were both speechless at this as they couldn't help but get nervous at this, "Floyd-san was just stolen away!" Izuku was basically speechless at what happened.

"Okay, don't panic, we can still make it work with the two of us!" Reina said as she was as nervous as she was, "We just need two more to--Eh?"

She nor Izuku didn't realize that Katsuki had approached the two of them. They only registered that he was there when he grabbed a hold of Reina's jacket.

"You're with me." He stated before he started to drag her away, giving Reina no time to react.

"Uh--Wait a minute!" Reina said as she started to wave her arms in a funny way, "What's happening!? Where am I going!? Help! SOS!"

"Reina-chan's been stolen away too!" Izuku exclaimed, as he was once more surprised.

Floyd saw this from a distance as he said angrily, "HEY! PISS FOR BRAINS! WHAT DID I JUST SAY ABOUT DOING WEIRD SHIT TO REINA!"

"PISS OFF, INKHEAD! IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!" Katsuki shouted.

"OH THAT'S IT!" Floyd shouted before he picked the same blonde haired girl with the horns. "Blondie! You're with me!"

"W-w-w-w-what?!" The girl with the horns said.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO BEING TEAM SONIC?!" Reina thought in her head, "NOW IT'S LIKE CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR! WHY DO THESE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME!?"

Before she knew it she had been far away from Izuku and Floyd as they had been practically on the other side of the field as she was still befuddled by what had just happened. Finally Katsuki let go of her jacket allowing her to stand.

"You didn't have to drag me, you know?" Reina said as she fixed up her jacket, "You could've just asked."

"You would've gone with Deku and the Half-Breed if I did that!" Katsuki said, "If you and I are going to be partners when the Sports Festival is over, than we gotta have each other's backs from now on!"

Reina looked confused at this as she tilted her head, "Katsuki-kun…" She said as she thought what he was saying, "... Just because I might've been on another team doesn't mean that I don't trust you. I mean we've been through middle school together, not to mention there's that first year, so you have no reason to worry about me not trusting you…?"

Reina noticed the look on Katsuki's face as he looked hurt about something, making her sentence trail off; though he didn't show it through his face, she saw it through his eyes. Reina looked confused and worried at this.

"Katsuki-kun…?" Reina started to say, "What's wrong…?"

Katsuki merely turned away from Reina, his eyes hiding underneath the shadow of his bangs, "Nothing." He said, "Forget it, just go on Deku's or the Inkheads if you want, I don't care."

This time Reina looked hurt at this as her expression softened; She didn't know why he looked so hurt, though she couldn't help but feel a little guilty by whatever she said. She sighed to herself before she said, "You really are complicated huh?" Katsuki picked up his head a little at this. He then noticed Reina holding her hand in a fist to him.

"You obviously went through a lot of trouble, so…" Reina said, "... I'll be on your team, partner."

Katsuki couldn't help but grin at this as he put his fist against her own, "Hells yeah, Lollipop Hair!" Reina couldn't help but let out a little giggle.

"Hey! You got Rei-Rei on your team huh? No surprises there!"

The two of them turned and Reina couldn't help but jump at the sight of Mina, Mezo, Yuga, Rikido, Sero, and Toru. "I guess it's to be expected, since you two go so well together!" Toru said cheerfully.

"Guys!?" Reina said, just surprised to see them all here, "When did you--!?"

"Even after the training exercises you still found a way to get along with him." Mezo said.

"Yeah, I mean, other than Aihara, you two could almost be a couple!" Rikido said.

Floyd, having heard this from a distance, shouted, "I heard that!"

Katsuki didn't seem phased by this, Reina on the other hand, her face had been immediately flushed with red, as she started to stammer as she hid her face in her hands, "N-n-No! You got it all wrong, it's no-no-no-thing like what I think! Wait, no that's not what I meant! What I mean is it's exactly what you thought it was--WHAT AM I EVEN SAYING RIGHT NOW!?"

Floyd yelled again, "What were you saying, idiot?!"

Katsuki smacked her on the side of the head causing her to freeze up and calm down immediately. "Thank you." She said in a casual tone of voice.

"What are you extra's doing here?" Katsuki asked as he turned to them.

"Well actually, we wanted to ask you something!" Toru asked, "Since you have Reina-chan, you're gonna need at least three more members right?"

"Yeah, so, team up with me!" Rikido said.

"No, with me!" Mina said, "You definitely want to be on my team!"

"Don't you want to team up with me?" Yuga asked as Reina noticed he had been holding his stomach.

"Uh…" Reina said awkwardly, "... Do you need any help?"

"No!" He groaned, "I'm fine!"

Katsuki looked at the whole group as the others wondered who exactly he was going to pick. Though they had all been taken back when he--

"Wait, remind me what your Quirks are again!" He said, "And your names!"

Reina pretty much fainted on the spot at this, while her classmates were taken back. Floyd on the other hand couldn't help but yell at him, "Are you f***ing serious man?! After last season and this you still can't remember, dumbass?!"

"OH, SHUT UP OVER THERE HALF-BREED!" Katsuki yelled, "HOW ARE YOU EVEN HEARING US!?"

"SUPER HEARING OBVIOUSLY!" Floyd shouted.

"BUT THAT AIN'T YOUR QUIRK!" Gio yelled before Floyd hit him on the head; Though Gio had asked him as he recovered, "Hey, can I be on your team?"

Floyd replied with a shrug, "Sure, why not?"

"THAT WAS FAST!" Reina exclaimed as she stood up.

"I don't know Class 1-B but--" Mina started to say.

"Does he really not pay attention to what's around him!?" Rikido exclaimed.

"I can't tell if Katsuki-kun is being sarcastic or not at this point…" Reina couldn't help but say in her head as she slumped over a little.

It hadn't been long before Chouko and Eijirou approached them. "Hey, Reina-chan! Bakugou-san!" Chouko said as she waved.

"Chou-chan! Kirishima-kun!" Reina said.

"Todoroki picked his team already!" Eijirou said, "Want to team up with Shoichi and I?"

"Oh, Chicken Wings and Weird Hair." Katsuki said casually, taking Reina, Chouko and Eijirou back a bit.

"My name is Shoichi and he's Kirishima!" Chouko couldn't help but yell a little.

"And my hair is no different from yours!" Eijirou said.

"THAT'S your main concern!?" Reina said as she was just in pure shock by this.

"Apparently so." Chouko said amusingly.

"Hang on a second, why do you two want to team up with Katsuki-kun?" She soon asked, "Not that I'm being offensive to him or anything, but he's not exactly the easiest guy to get along with."

"Well, that's the thing, we might've worked out the best strategy for him." Chouko reasoned, which took Katsuki and Reina back a bit.

"Bakugou, you're gonna be the rider right?" Eijirou said, "Then you're gonna need someone at the front who can take your blasts."

"And my wings aren't just capable of flying and shooting out feathers, they're perfect for defense as well." Chouko said, "You're gonna need someone who can protect us from the other opponents' attacks. And it helps Reina-chan as well since she can only use her Quirk for so long, and we wouldn't want her to over do it and hurt herself."

"You've been really holding out on us, huh Chou-chan?" Reina couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Well in a sense I'm kind of like Fu-kun's Quirk, Kage-chan, I know more than one trick." Chouko merely replied as she gave her a smile as well.

"You're someone with guts?" Katsuki said to Eijirou.

"Not really, but yeah!" Eijirou said, "With me with my Hardening, I'll be a horse that'll never waver!"

Katsuki seemed to have perked up at this, as Eijirou added, "You're gonna get it, right? The ten million points?"

Katsuki merely gave Eijirou a smile as Reina and Chouko realized what this meant. "Looks like we just have a group now." Chouko said to them, "We just need to come up with a strategy."Reina nodded her head in agreement, before she turned her gaze over to Izuku, as she saw that he had been currently talking to Ochaco, who had been more than happy to join his team.

"Sorry we couldn't team up after all, Izuku-kun." Reina thought in her head, "But knowing you, I know you'll do just fine without me or Floyd-kun. After all you are you; You'll find a way to win."

Before Reina could join up with her group she had been taken back by the sound of what she could tell was the sound of… Chains? She looked over in the direction where she heard the bell, towards one of the many entrances and something in the cover of darkness.

"What's…" Reina started to say, as the world around her became silent; the area around her seemed to have lost its color.

The sun moved from behind the clouds, and she saw from the rays of light, she saw what looked to be chains. Though where they were attached she didn't know where it was; some of the chains looked to be old and rusted and looked as though someone was trapped. From the light, she saw that the person was trapped… Was her. She looked just like here, though only one thing had been different about her, when she picked up her head to look at her.

It was her eyes that stood out… Even the third eye was different.

Reina found herself in a sudden trance, as her odd eye color changed to the color of silver.

"Reina-chan?"
