21: Heroic cavalry

Heroic cavalry

Midnight waved her whip dramatically and pointed at the screen.

The second competition. This is a bit different from what I expected. But I don't see anything impossible here. Although, in my last school, I didn't particularly like such games. Well, I didn't have many friends back then, but now I have girlfriends. In General, the tests are not very original, but they are executed interestingly.

"A battle of human cavalry?" Asui Was Surprised. "But this is not a game in which you can participate individually. Does it fit?"

"Oh, come on. There will still be a confrontation between the teams." I have shrugged shoulders.

"Right, and…"

Judge Nemuri took the floor again.

"You can freely create teams, starting with two people and up to four, to complete your formation! The rules are the same as in normal human cavalry battles, meaning you need to snatch a headband from a rider of another cavalry and keep your own. Each formation will have a certain amount of points, depending on the previous challenge…"

"So the number of points received for the armband will depend on the participants of the formation?" Suggested By Tokoyami.

"Hey! Stop saying what I'm supposed to say!" - The teacher was indignant. - "But Yes, it is. If you are ranked forty-second, your participation adds five points to the formation. Ten for forty-first place, fifteen for fortieth, and so on. But! This does not apply to the first place. A winning ticket for ten million points!"

There was a moment of silence around me. The girls were surprised. Others gave me worried or avaricious glances. The Laggards saw me as the winning ticket to first place in this challenge. Bakugou was already figuring out in his mind how to get these points. Defeating me is a matter of honor for him. And, it seems, not only for him. Todoroki was also looking at me intently.

"Yes, we've all seen what this cute guy is capable of, but for some of you, this is a chance to make it to the final!" - Issued by the heroine for adults.

It looks like my flirting has paid off. They called me cute.

Then she began to explain various nuances regarding the distribution of points. And, I clarified one feature. Even after losing their armband, the formation continues to participate in the challenge, even if the formation is broken, but the rider does not touch the ground, they will still continue. This somewhat complicates the game for many.

By the way, some are already beginning to form groups. Most of them look at me with some apprehension. With so many points, my team will definitely become a universal target, so most of the students are afraid to come to me. But what do I care? I have my girls. Just three of them.

"You can use quirks, of course, but if you attack other participants with a threat to life, you will be disqualified until the end of the test." - Nemuri cautioned one last time. - "And now you have fifteen minutes to negotiate and form formations!"

"Only fifteen?" Ochako Was Taken Aback.

Those who already had their eyes on the allies immediately gathered together.

"Are you guys with me?"

"Yes! Ochako immediately responded." If you choose, I'd rather be on a team with my friends!

"Friends?" The daemonette grinned cheerfully.

"Well…"

"Can we handle it?" Tsuyu-Chan hesitated.

You don't even need to think about the strategy here. So everything is obvious.

"I'll be at the base, Mino and Ochako on the flanks, and you'll be the rider."

"Me?" said the frog.

"Yes, you're smaller, and you can also use your tongue to rip off other players' armbands."

"Do we need bandages? If we keep our points, we will already be in first place."

"Well, you can do that."

In fact, we went to the referee in such a group to register our formation and get the armband. However, Hatsume came out to meet us halfway. She looked serious.

"Come on, Mr. first place, will you take me on your team?" She turned to me, smiling.

"ERM?"

When she got even closer, she gave me a friendly hug, throwing her arm over my shoulder.

"You've got everyone's attention right now. Will you let me bask in the glory, too?" Then even more people will pay attention to my babies.

"I'm sorry, but we…

"We get along well, don't we?" I can provide you with special services, because I already know what you want. As she spoke, Mae lowered her hand slightly and pressed herself against my side.

What amazing Tits she has. And how I wanted to agree. But, the girls standing next to me are about to recover from hatsume's shocking offer, and before That happens, I'd better tactfully decline. Yes, I want to get Mei, but not in a way that jeopardizes the crazy threesomes with my girlfriends. I mean, I'm an honest gentleman, loyal to my women.

"May, your offer is certainly very tempting, but think carefully again. – I found a way out. – If you're on my team, you'll be in my shadow, you know? But you're cool in your own right! Second place is not weak, and if you gather your team, then you will Shine in it. Do you understand?"

And since I was taking such liberties, I also allowed myself to put my hand on the girl's waist. I hope the girls will forgive me for that.

"You're right! Hatsume Realized. – I should have known that myself! I need small fry for the team!

And completely ignoring my girls, she expressed her gratitude with a kiss. On the cheek. Impudence or spontaneity? After all, after that, she immediately turned to my friends. They didn't even have time to protest before the mad tech turned to them.

- The s'mores! Pinky! Let's play as a team!

"We're small fry?" Uraraka was a little offended.

"No, no," I said. Ashido Asked, Amused. – We already have a team, look for other assistants for your brilliant person.

And she waved her hand, saying, " shoo from here."

"Oh, I'm sorry... and you..." she immediately turned her attention to the frog.

"She's with us. I said, putting my arm around the brunette.

"I see. Hatsume sighed in frustration.

She finally left in search of other helpers.

"And what was that?" Ashido Asked Curiously.

"I think she's got a crush on me."

"Pfft... haha.

Ochako didn't say anything, but her expression clearly projected the phrase "I won't let you in." It was so cute that I wanted to hug her right there. But still, I want to keep some things between us without making them public. Even if everyone knows about our relationship, it doesn't mean that we should start licking in front of everyone. And if you can just give a friendly hug in class, then in front of a crowd of millions, no, no, I'm shy.

"Is that always the case with you?" Asui asked the demonette.

- Yeah. – Chuckled Aside. "Actually, I should be mad about this, but somehow I'm having fun."

"I'm used to it. Uraraka Sighed. – This is just crazy.

"We're crazy, kwa.

"Well noticed! Mino Winked.

They're really cool girls.

In the end, we got to the platform and recorded our team. And got the armband with the most points. By then, Mei had also assembled her formation. Many people didn't mind joining the runner-up girl. Moreover, she supplied the team with her own devices.

Many of our classmates asked to join the Bakugou or Todoroki team. Shouto has teamed up Kaminari, Yaoyorozu, and Tenya. That's right, they can create a powerful formation. Iida will provide mobility. Momo, with her quirk for all occasions, is generally useful in any team. Denki can give you an electric shock, but he can also hit his own people. Maybe they found a way to protect themselves from this? Well, Todoroki himself, walking artillery.

Bakugou generally distinguished himself. It's still ten minutes to go, and he's already sitting on top of Eijiro, the red-haired guy with the protective Transfiguration. Katsuki is flanked by Sato, who is still a Jock, and Ojiro, the guy with the tail. In General, a purely peasant construction of brutal peasant men. Everyone is more or less jocky, especially Sato, who already looks like a mountain of muscle, while the rest are more lean and strong guys.

"Bakugou-San is burning with fighting spirit. Ochako Said.

And, she sometimes looked at this group with an interested look. We need to patch it up as quickly as possible. Otherwise, she'll decide that if I can have a Threesome with three girls, then she can have a Threesome with four guys. Although, maybe there is another question. She likes action movies and martial arts movies. And about the samurai.

However, the Bakugou formation quickly fell apart. It looked like a bit of a rehearsal.

I also noticed that Hagakure had also assembled a team. Or, more precisely, she was dragged into the team. The half-invisible girl became a rider in team Mei. In fact, Hatsume was leading the way, clad in power armor. In fact, it was her exoskeleton from the previous competition, but with armor plates installed. On the left, the half-invisible girl was supported by Kyouka, who connected her ear plugs to the device provided by our crazy tech. And on the right was a brunette with wavy hair from 1st grade. And all together they turned their formation into a smart armored train.

Meanwhile, the fifteen minutes allotted to us were drawing to a close.

- UOO, STRIGALEVA, WAKE UP FIFTEEN MINUTES HAS EXPIRED, IT'S TIME FOR BATTLE!

A countdown clock appeared on the stadium screen, exactly one minute.

"HA! I HOPE YOU'VE ALREADY MADE UP YOUR TEAMS! WE START AT THE END OF THE COUNTDOWN! LET THE FUN BEGIN!

"It hurts my ears." – Complained Of Ashido.

"Yeah." Okay, girls, here we go.

The other groups also began to assemble their formation.

- Limitless fusion!

Ashido Sighed.

"Haha, my drill will pierce the heavens! Uraraka Asked, Amused. – This is a real male fusion!

"We're girls…

"Magma flows in our veins!

"Burning hearts!

"KVA?"

"Izuku, can we do this?" I doubt.

- Ochako. You may not believe in yourself, but then…

"Enough already! The daemonette interrupted. "Tired of it.

"Ha-ha."

"Okay, that's it, stop it. I smiled. "But, what nostalgia. I remember Katsuki and I used to do the same thing when we were kids.

"Yeah?"

"Well, he couldn't talk properly then, and he couldn't walk either…

Bakugou must have heard that.

"DEKU! I will DESTROY it! The blond man roared.

- I think he's embarrassed.

"He'll definitely be after us now. Asui Sighed.

The girls agreed with her.

"He would have, anyway. I chuckled. "It's a bakugou.

"It's true. Ochako Admitted.

And the countdown was already showing single digits. Commentators fired up the audience. Well, true, only a Mere Mick tried, and his assistant, Aizawa-Sensei, did not try very hard. All formations took up their initial positions in the stadium.

"So, Mino, get ready to splash. Ochako, will you reset the weight of the girls on the team?

"Yes," I said. Uraraka Nodded.

"Tsuyu-Chan?"

"I'm ready." - Said the frog, sticking out his tongue a couple of centimeters.

"Then…

The alarm rang.

- START! Mick almost screamed.

Uraraka Squeaked.

Almost all the teams immediately rushed in our direction. Only, probably, the most cunning decided to catch a fish in muddy water. That is, taking advantage of the chaos not to get Asui's armband, but to hunt other hunters.

"Midoriya-San! We will help you! Toru-Chan suddenly exclaimed.

And the armored train Hatsume, which was rushing towards us along with the rest of the hunters, abruptly changed course.

"Ha, ha, ha, look what my babies can do! They are excellent!

"The devil! A guy from class 1B, who was the rider of the attacked formation, screamed. "Tokage-San! We're classmates!

"You didn't get me on the team!" The girl with the wavy hair said indignantly.

By this time, some of the hunters had already come closer.

"Izuku, we don't have to, I don't know, Dodge..."

"Ha! What are you talking about? Avoid what?

"They're getting close, kwa…

"Just watch.

Katsuki's brutal horse took the lead. Bakugou's face was flushed with victory, and his palms sparkled with the promise of an explosion. And…

- Try to break through.

I take a deep breath and blow on my opponent.

"DEKU! DAMN YOU!

A hurricane-force gust of wind sweeps away the demolition team's formation and sends them flying. The other teams were seriously slowed down, struggling with the air flow. Someone's riders were being ripped off. Baby minor was most unlucky. The guy didn't have time to Orient himself and use his Velcro. Moreover, the bandage was just glued to his head, but he ... he was torn from the shoulders of Shoji and carried away to the stands. Our octopus remained standing, and dumbfounded watched the flight of his partner. Poor guy, dropped out at the very beginning. Shoji didn't even have time to cover it. I hope they didn't take too much offense at me.

- Oh…

- And so it was possible?

- Girls…

We split up.

Ashido and Ochako left the formation, while Asui stayed on my shoulders.

"I think we've made things too complicated. I sighed.

"Yeah." – I Nodded, And Ashido. – It's not interesting at all.

"How about a game of TIC-TAC-toe?"

After all, after my trick, all the "hunters" somehow calmed down at once and were no longer in a hurry to get close to us. Well, almost everything…

"DEKU! BASTARD!

"Tsuyu-Chan, are we going to humiliate Katsuki?" Should we take the blindfold from him?

"KVA?"

"Okay, I agree, that would be too harsh. Girls, close your ears.

Now that our formation was broken, I had my hands free and could use normal techniques. Mino and Ochako returned with Asui propped up, but they also covered their ears in anticipation of the rumble. A quick forward punch. Very fast. I'll use the momentum and send the shock wave straight at the Bakugou rushing towards us. And, of course, the stadium was deafened by thunder.

"The THING! RAAAAH!

"Wow..." Said Ochako, Impressed. "Their spirit power is amazing!

I have to admit, they worked well.

Katsuki's formation suddenly crouched, meaning all three guys carrying the bomber crouched down, and Kirishima stuck his reinforced arm into the ground. If I'd been hitting half-heartedly, it wouldn't have saved them, but because I was being careful, the guys stayed put.

"Deku! I'll get you, you little bitch!

"Okay, so I'll use a special technique.

"Do you have a special treatment?" Mino asked, taking her hands away from her ears.

"Of course. I nodded. "This is a serious blow! Girls, ears!

Another punch with a directional pulse, but this time half-hearted. Well, Yes, it's just a serious one, not really a serious one, or, kami save us all, a super serious one. But that was more than enough. This time, Katsuki's formation was completely abandoned. They couldn't hold each other back either. And yet, somehow, they managed to stay in the game. Bakugou stayed in the air a little longer, creating a powerful explosion. And then Ojiro managed to catch him with his tail.

"Hah, I think I felt it in my gut..." muttered Ashido.

"My ears are ringing..." complained Ochako.

- KVA…

I even felt a little ashamed.

"I'm sorry.

- No, it was cool!

"Exactly! If someone else will climb, kill ' em all! Uraraka said belligerently. "Show them your power!" Smash these losers!

"KVA?" Asui looked at the daemonette.

"Yes, she's like that, but Ochako usually hides her violent side. – I Nodded, And Ashido.

"I'm not cruel!" It's just so cool! No, you've seen it!?

"That's right. I agreed. "Ochako is good.

"Haha, Yes, that's right.

But now everyone is afraid of us and doesn't even come close. The other riders began to compete with each other, considering us too dangerous prey, which not only can kick the horns, but also tear them off for fuck's sake.

"Are we just going to stand there the whole time?"

"Why not?" Or do you just want to ride me?"

"Let's take someone else's blindfold?" Mino Suggested.

"I have a better idea. I snarled. "Girls, get on top of me.

- Merge! Ochako Asked Happily.

To make it easier for the girls to hold on to me, Uraraka zeroed out all of Asui and Ashido. They weren't hard enough for me anyway.

"What are you up to?"

"It's simple, look. See, Todoroki is trying to take the bandage from Izycki-Chan?

- Yes…

"Let's stop him!" We are heroes, we will stop the attack with a robbery. Our task is to protect justice. It was said with feeling, and the heroic perk was activated.

"Exactly!

"Itsuki-Chan?" Is she Izuku's friend too? Asui Asked.

"Ahem... well, not exactly a friend," I Said. – We're not even buddies, we just chatted for a couple of minutes.

"I see.

I kicked off the ground and shot forward. And a Real Mick couldn't miss this event without his comments.

"OH, LOOK! OUR FAVORITE IS FINALLY MAKING HIS MOVE! WHERE DID IZUKU MIDORIYA'S TEAM GO!?

Naturally, this immediately attracted the attention of all the players. The most cautious ones retreated further away from my trajectory. When I got close enough, I used the hurricane exhale again. A powerful gust of wind almost knocked todoroki out of the saddle, but The boy managed to fix his aging with ice in time.

- Aaah! It's cold! Kaminari Exclaimed.

"Midoriya! Zuzu almost snarled.

The guy was clearly unhappy with my interference.

"What's wrong, Todoroki-San?" Didn't you declare war on me? Oh! Denki, Momo, come over to my side, eh?

"WH-what?"

"Yes, Yes! The rules don't prohibit poaching players from other formations, do they?

"FORBIDDEN!" PLAYERS CANNOT LEAVE THEIR TEAM AND JOIN ANOTHER TEAM. BUT, WHAT AN ORIGINAL APPROACH! The AUDIENCE! DID YOU HEAR THAT? LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE'S REALLY HAVING A LOT OF FUN.

I looked guiltily at my opponents.

"Sorry, it doesn't look like it's going to work.

"Now!" Todoroki suddenly exclaimed.

His formation abruptly reversed, and Yaoyorozu used the old move.

"Really?"

Retreating half a step, I simply left the line of attack and…

- AHTI BITCH! Katsuki roared as he was caught in the net.

Bakugou managed to curb the urge to yell and almost sneaked up on me while riding Ojiro. And, interestingly, he already had two bandages. With the order destroyed, I managed to get bonus points. Kirishima and Sato are already running towards him to form up again, and the referee doesn't stop them, so it's okay too. There's a couple of 1-B guys running around somewhere, just the two of them.

"I'll go first, you bastards!" Hell, no! I'll be the only one! I'LL KILL THEM ALL, YOU BASTARDS!

"I think he's sold out." Ashido Chuckled.

- Terminal stage of popaboli.

"That's terrible.

Bakugou broke the nets with a series of explosions. And while I was distracted by this sight, Todoroki's team made a new move. More precisely, Iida made the move. He might even have been able to do it if I'd reacted like a normal person. Tenya activated some special ability of his quirk, as if he had turned on the fast and furious. The exhaust pipes on his calves spewed out a stream of black smoke, and the guy himself made a mad dash with a turn. Todoroki was clearly surprised, but he managed to get his bearings and was already reaching out to rip off Asui's blindfold.

"Nice try, Iida. I complimented the runner, grabbing zuzu's hand in passing.

Shouto tried to pull his hand away.

"Not so fast, Todoroki-San.

"WH-what..." said Freezer, Taken aback.

I just yanked him out of the formation, pulling him to me.

"You wanted to beat me, Zuko, but I never said that I would let you go unanswered.

"What?" Zuko?

Todoroki was so surprised that he stopped trying to pull away for a second. He might try to hit me with ice at any second, so I didn't want to hold him off for too long. It won't hurt me, but I've got a lot of nibbles on my back. And putting my hand on the guy's chest, I just pushed him away, after ripping off the bandage.

Todoroki's order managed to group up and catch its rider. However, the force of the throw was strong enough to destroy this formation. Like throwing skittles around. And yet, Todoroki wasn't out of the game. Yes, I deliberately gave him a chance to fight again, because I could have thrown him out of the stadium. I just didn't want to deprive my classmate of the opportunity to continue playing. With Minoru and Shoji, it was all kind of stupid, and it was just not fair for them to go out like that.

"Wow! It was so cool! Uraraka almost screamed.

- Ochako. The daemonette pleaded.

- Showdown between guys! A burning competitive spirit.

"Ochako! Calm down. You're overexcited.

- Yes, I'm nothing... - the girl was Confused.

They didn't let us talk for long. Katsuki didn't even need time to Wake up, it's hard to stun him at all. The guy only got angrier and threw himself into the fight even more fiercely. However, he was so carried away that he didn't even realize that the blindfold had already been torn off. Bakugou wouldn't have noticed if the sleek blonde from 1-B hadn't decided to show off.

"Heh, how to take candy away from a child. He said smugly.

Katsuki's face went rigid.

"Oh, they made us. Sato Said.

"WHAT A PIECE OF FUCKING MOUNTAIN SHIT!" COME HERE!" I'LL KILL YOU, YOU FUCKING ASS-FACED MONKEY! I'LL RIP YOUR BALLS OUT THROUGH YOUR TONSILS, ASSHOLE!

However, the blond man didn't linger for heart-to-heart conversations. With a wary glance in my direction, he shooed his men away. Then Itsuki and her team retreated, taking advantage of the moment. She left Todoroki and, at the same time, went to the rear of Bakugou, helping her classmates.

"Deku! Do you hear me, you freak!? I'll deal with you again, but I'll just beat that fucking shit-eater!"

With A sigh, katsuki's warrant gave chase.

"That was unexpectedly nice." Uraraka Said.

- Pffhahaha. Got A Feeling Aside.

"Half the test is over, kwa. Asui remarked as she glanced at the screen.

And yet, somehow it just so happened that we were left alone. All the teams that we broke through to ran away from us. It's a shame.

"There was harmony in the world until the fire nation -" Uraraka Drawled.

"Ochako, you're lovely.

"Ha-ha." Todoroki-San really looks like Zuko. But it's not right to laugh at his burn, is it?

"That's right, we won't do it again.

- Pfft…

"What are you talking about?" – Interested In Minot.

"KVA?"

"Looks like we need another movie marathon."

"I agree. Marshmallow Nodded.

Events at the stadium, meanwhile, were developing in full swing. Teams competed for points, collided with each other and took away armbands. Someone managed to return the selected points, like Bakugou. With all his stubbornness, Katsuki caught up with the slicked-back blonde and dealt with him. Like a man, as Ochako would say.

"You know, it's a good thing we didn't continue," I said Slowly.

"Izuku?"

"See that guy?

The girls followed my gaze.

"Is he from General education, Hitoshi-San?"

"Yes," I said. Against his quirk, we would have lost in no time.

"W-what?"

"KVA?"

"Just look at what he's doing.

We followed him for a while longer before the guy used his quirk again. He caught up with one of the teams and was clearly making some kind of sarcastic comment. An altercation ensued, and then the second rider suddenly calmed down and simply gave his armband to Shinsou.

"A whim of persuasion?

"Mind control?

It turns out so.

- A terrible ability.0

"Hey, mine too. I chuckled.

If we run into this guy, we'll have to throw him out as quickly as possible. I was about to tell the girls not to look, but Hitoshi had already noticed the surveillance. Well, now he knows that we can at least guess at his abilities. With a wry smile, Shinsou steered his team away, deciding not to run into me now. Very prudent.

Although he doesn't know that even if his quirk works on me, I can develop immunity, even if not immediately. Heh, my quirk is very versatile, although it seems simple from the outside.

Bakugou, meanwhile, was not very consistent. After defeating a class 1 team, he faced Todoroki, whose team still managed to get two armbands for themselves. But, at the last moment, they were all scattered by an unexpected armored train Hatsume!

"Ha! Test the power of technology!

The power knuckles smashed through the ice wall that Todoroki had grown, and Kyouka deftly hooked up a couple of trophy armbands with one of her plugs.

"Ha-ha-ha! Don't yawn boys! Hagakure Gloated.

Katsuki began to seethe.

"Cool off! Mae threw up her free hand and shot a thick stream of foam at the guy from the built-in spray gun.

It was awesome.

Jiro picked up a couple of bandages, and bakugou too, as He struggled to get out of the instant-solidified foam, and then the armored train sped away. And the guys didn't have time to give chase…

"TIME'S UP! – Real Mick's voice rang out. – LET'S LOOK AT THE TOP FOUR FINALISTS!

This means that only four teams will go further, although more teams still have points.

But then, if everyone who saved points went through, then there would be no point in the competition, right? And by the way, Orochimaru never showed up. I'm even a little disappointed. Or not?
