A Heroic Heart and Tired One Too (Discontinued)

9: Cavalry Battle

---------------------Chapter Start---------------------------------------------

"Yeah, that's gonna have to be a no from me, Todoroki. I'll look for someone else to team with."

"Hm. So be it. Dont blame when you get in a team and inevitably lose." He says. I narrowed my eyes at him at his response. He's certainly full of himself, isn't he?

"So what then? I know for certain you aren't going to pair with Midoriya and protect her as you have been doing since you got here. She certainly doesn't need someone like you anymore. "

He's right. I have been doing all that to protect her. The U.S.J, from Bakugou, helping her out after the Battle Training, even in middle school too. He's right. I guess I should distance myself from her.

" . . . You're right. She doesn't need protecting anymore." I say flipping him off and walking away. He's right I had certainly planned on teaming with Midoriya but after much deliberation, I decided against it. For one, she's too much of a target. 2nd is the fact that . . . she's in a cheerleader outfit along with the other 1-A girls. Time is running out and eventually, I walk past that purple-haired guy from class 1-C. He had some blue-haired guy and Aoyama there too. They look . . . odd. Their eyes are empty . . .

"Are you still looking for a team?" He asks.

"Yeah, I am wh-"

I felt my thoughts go fuzzy as lost control of my body. What the fuck?!

"Good. You can be a part of mine then." He says, before commanding us to start getting ready. My body moved on its own and complied with what he said. This fucker must have some sort of mind control quirk. I can faintly hear Midnight starting the Battle and the guy who I now know as Shinsho starts by telling us to pick off the other teams and leave Midoriya, Bakugou, and Todoroki's teams alone. He then tells me to absorb one of Aoyama's lasers and use it to splinter off and shoot at several different teams, using the distraction as a decoy to grab their headbands.

"Alright, Gisheikyo. Can you sublimate Todoroki's ice and absorb the steam? With your left hand of course."

Oddly considerate of him to take notice of that. My body does so and it releases a steam cloud, obscuring us. Allowing us to vet more points. Shinso tells us to lie low and wait out the rest of the battle due to us securing 3rd place. So we did so, and the battle ends. Shinso relinquishes control of us allowing us free will yet again.

"Sorry about that." Shinso says. the teal-haired guy, now known as Nirengeki looked peeved and said he couldn't take a win like this and that he would forfeit. I'm still pissed too, but I guess I can make this work. The only one who doesn't see an issue with being brainwashed is Aoyama. For some reason. At least now we get to take a break before the next event.
