"That settles it! The top 42 students advance to the next round!"  Midnight announces, gesturing towards a massive board displaying the placements of everyone who made it through. The crowd erupts into cheers, the excitement in the air palpable.

You glance at the board, noting your second-place finish with a mix of satisfaction and frustration. 'Second place, huh? I could've done better,' you think to yourself, eyeing Midoriya who placed first due to the crazy stunt that he pulled. Todoroki follows in third, his expression unreadable, while Bakugou fumes in fourth place, his eyes practically burning holes through the screen.

"Don't feel bad if you didn't make it! Because we had extra games for you to play! But now the real fun is going to begin!" She strikes her whip with a resounding crack, and the audience's cheers grow even louder, anticipation buzzing in the air.

"Now let's take a look at the next round!" she says while gesturing to the screen that's flickering through all the possible outcomes. After a while it finally lands on a topic:

Calvary Battle

'What?" you think to yourself. "Aw man, I'm terrible at these" you hear Kaminari whine. "Now allow me to explain the rules" Midnight says with the screen showing like a slideshow.

"It's quite simple, participants will form groups of 2-5 people. Each person will be assigned a point value based on the placement from the last competition" she explains.

'I'm definitely glad I didn't place first,' you muse, catching the tension on Midoriya's face as Midnight continues.

"The points are ranging from 5 points, starting with the person that placed 42nd going all the way to the person that placed 1st which is," Midnight starts to play off

"10 Million"

A breathy laugh escapes your lips as you turn and look towards Midoriya. Watching as everyone turns and looks at him, 'Damn' you laugh to yourself. The arena seems to collectively hold its breath, then bursts into a frenzy of whispers and shocked exclamations. You can't help but laugh softly, turning to look at Midoriya. 'Poor guy,' you think with a smirk, watching as everyone's eyes lock onto him like prey.

"It's officially survival of the fittest! Those who are at the bottom can skyrocket to the top! The game itself will last 15 minutes, in those 15 minutes point values that you collect from other players so everyone knows how much you're worth! Take as many headbands as you can to increase your team's score. But just know that whatever headbands you collect must be worn from the neck up." Midnight explains.
