Your Quirk To Shape

After deflecting the question as to why Bakugo was staring at the outskirts of the track, all the students are ushered back to the middle for the next event, which will decide the participants of the 1 v 1 battles.

Bakugo is standing beside Shinso, holding his hands together in front of him tightly- they were shaking slightly, as he knew Deku was watching him.

"Our next event!" Midnight announced, growing silent as the wheel on the board started to spin.

The board lands on a sliver of blue- expanding to the depiction of a horse. "Team battle- Cavalry battles!" Midnight chirps. "Ah, this is a fun one. Out of the 42 contestants, you will have to assemble into groups of three or four. There will be one person sitting on the shoulders of their other teammates, who will be the carrier of points, per se. They will hold the headbands of their teammates, with points written in them. For each person from 42, with a value of 5 points, will get five more points as they progress up, with the exception of first place who will have 10 Million points on their headband." Midnight dropped- making Bakugo tense.

He was officially a target.

"You will run around and try to keep your headbands safe while stealing the headbands from other teams for five minutes. The four top teams will get to move onto the last event!" Midnight said. "Any comments?"

There's a second of quiet. "Ok then. You will have 15 minutes to get into teams and devise a plan. Go!"

Bakugo sighed, turning around to hopefully convince someone to go with him.

Surprisingly, people already wanted to be with him.

"C'mon Bakugo-Kun!" Uraraka dragged him over to where Shinso and Kirishima were waiting.

"Who should we have on top?" Shinso wondered.

Bakugo, deciding to just go along with them and not complain, raised his hand. "Definitely me. I don't see much long offensive value between you three." He deadpans.

"Fair enough." Kirishima shrugs.

"Ok, I think we have a decent amount of points." Shinso said, once a staff had given them their headbands. "10 Million, plus my 80, Uraraka-Chan's 140, and Kirishima-Kun's 175, is..." Shinso takes a second, the other three calculating too.

"10 Million..." Kirishima starts.

"Three hundred ninety?" Uraraka finishes.

"Three hundred ninety five." Bakugo and Shinso correct at the same time.

Uraraka shrugs. "It's a decent amount. I think we should focus on protecting the headbands rather than stealing more, since we're already unconditionally first place." She said.

"I agree. Though, we're undoubtedly going to be targetted by other groups." Kirishima says. "So we need some kind of crazy strategy to get away." He added.

Everybody looked at Uraraka.

"What?"

.

15 minutes later, the four of them got into some kind of horse. They decided to have Kirishima at the front, so that he could use his hardening to take out the other first people, and, therefore, the most important parts of the structure.

Shinso was at the right back, he planned to utilize his Quirk on teams hoping to attack from behind.

Uraraka was on the left back, and did not, actually, have any of Bakugo's weight on her. The three boys insisted, and she was not one to deny gentlemen.
