My Vigilante Academia (My Hero Academia X Vigilante Character)

Chapter 9

"You have fifteen minutes to make your teams." Midnight announced, leaving the students to make their teams. I, on the other hand, just sat down at the side, waiting for my heart to slow down a bit. If I get too enthusiastic about this game, I'll probably never let anyone win. I don't want another incident like 'Trafalgar Square's Beatdown'.

My breaths became fuller as time passed on and it was nearing the last couple of minutes. I got up and saw that most people had grouped up already. I noticed two figures on their own though. It was as if there was someone else small supposed to be here, but it seems that isn't the case anymore.

"Ojiro, Tsuyu. Are you guys in need of a horse?" A approached the pair with jovial tones. I was a bit high earlier off the victory, but I had cooled my jets and managed to act somewhat normally.

"Well, we wouldn't mind an extra body-"

"Good, then I'll join. That'll be alright, right?" They nodded.

"Cool, then here's the plan..."

* * *

"Is all that understood?"

"Yep, let's get on with this."

Tsuyu was the rider and Shoji the horse. Me, well I guess you could say I was the horse's horse. I had my hand on Shoji's back and my grip was tight as hell, so steering should be fairly easy. Shoji will be a lookout and protection and Tsuyu should stay safe there and, if necessary, take as many bands as needed.

"Start!"

"Run away!!!" I called out and so we did – straight into the charging mass of other cavalry units.

"Shoji, focus on defence; Asui, you know what to do."

"Tsuyu!"

"Copy!"

Many of the first few groups had lost their band already thanks to Tsuyu's sniping skills and my sudden shifting of Shoji if I determined whether there was something to be of a threat to us. I weaved through the mass and nearly tripped over a handful of times, but we managed to get one or two extra points but was unnecessary since the gap between us and them was far too different.

"We'll take that!" A certain wire was above my head and inside the canopy that Shoji made with his arms. It tugged back a band that was already gone by the time I had noticed. I prayed that it couldn't have been the 10 million—

[HAGAKURE'S TEAM NOW HAS THE 10 MILLION BAND]

Our band now amounted to 655, just underneath Bakugou at the start. We have to either rack up some more bands or get it back. I pondered for a moment while Shoji and Tsuyu continued to get more bands, reaching 780. The two teams from the lower end of the scoreboard attempted to catch us off guard but I moved Shoji in the correct moments and only got clipped a few times by misplaced footing.
     I saw off in the distance two blond boys squaring off and it seemed that 1A's resident and mobile explosive was seconds before its fuse ran out. Moments later, Bakugou had snatched 1B's weird blond band off him and reached 970.
     Elsewhere, Midoriya had also taken the 10 million off Hagakure and retreated from the area before being enclosed off by Todoroki. Then an explosive boom resounded from the wall of ice and the scoreboard showed that Todoroki had taken the 10 million.

Numbers went up and down and up again and down again; it was going quite mad, but I was hoping that if I could secure 4th at least, then we'd be set.
