...

"She never said the head of the horse has to remain attached."
Bakugo thought to himself, a grin plastered on his face.

"Get set...

GO!!!"
Midnight cheered.

All the teams charged towards Bakugo, hands reached out in aims to take the band. Bakugo grinned as he watched then approach ever closer,formulating the perfect plan in mind.

"Tape face,make sure you watch my back and retrieve me if I need it.

Keep your bands safe,I'm going to fly"
He said under his breath as the teams got even closer.
Moments before their grabby hands could reach, Bakugo launched himself upwards and flew away,blasting the other teams in the process.
They pulled their hands back, barely escaping the heat of the explosion.
The sudden jolt back resulted in some toppling over, disqualifying a couple teams straight off the bat.

Bakugo looked down, the teams were sending forced upwards towards him.
He dodged their attacks and sent out swift ones of his own, destroying their efforts.

"Your band is mine, Bakugo"
Monoma said, flying straight for him with his hands out. His teammates had shot him up their.
Bakugo sent out another massive explosion straight for Monoma, propelling himself even higher into the sky.
Bakugo signalled for Sero, who then sent out tape and pulled him from the high elevation back to being the head of the horse.
Monoma came falling back down, but he was safely rescued by a wall of vines which returned him back to safety.

"You going to fly again?"
Kaminari asked, following Sero's lead as they all ran through the battle ground, avoiding the enemy teams.

"Yep, watch your bands"
Bakugo replied, sending for the sky again.

The process continued, Bakugo couldn't find a struggle against his classmates and rival classes.
He had trained to failure under the strongest person across the continent.
Not that Midoriya was limited just to the continent of Asia.
He just never competed strength wise against countries of other continents.

Soon, the timer ran out.

Bakugo had successfully protected the 10 million point band and was to progress to the next round with his teammates.

Everyone had tried to steal it from him but ultimately ended up failing, none of them were on the same skill set required to get even close.

Now we will take a quick 30 minute intermission so this is your prep time!
Anyone from the crowd who needs to go take a stretch break is welcome to!

And for the competitors, here is your start up chart list!"
Present Mic announced as Midnight showcased the board.

"I'm going first.
Against that arrogant prick that bothered us yesterday.
This'll be fun.
His quirk is mind control, but it doesn't work unless I answer a question- that's what I got from how professor Midoriya used it.

Ha, I just won't answer his stupid rhetorics and I'll blast him to hell"
Bakugo thought to himself, a gremlin grin plastered on his face as he walked away with the rest of the crowd so the workers could prep the battle ground.
