They let us go into the arena, giving us a small amount of time to set ourselves up. I ended up placing all three targets on my stomach, since I guarded that the best.

"Everyone!" Izuku shouted. "Stay close together. We'll fight them as a group."

"Mm," Ochaco nodded.

"Got it," Iida agreed.

"Yeah, right," Bakugo snarled. "This isn't a field trip."

"Idiot," Kirishima scowled. "Wait up!"

"Kacchan!" Izuku frowned.

"Sorry, but we're not gonna be sticking around either." I sheepishly rubbed the back of my head. "Most people are going to be targeting our class. It's safer to hide and pick off the loners."

"See ya!" Katsumi waved.

"But (Y/n)!"

I didn't want to argue with him, but I knew that they'd be fine. Katsumi and I are not group fighters.

"So, what's your plan," the white-haired girl asked, while we ran to the city area. "You never went into detail."

"The first test will now begin," said the announcer.

"Basically, we're going to find solo fighters or small groups and lure them away using Richie," I explained. "Once I restrain them with my quirk, then we'll be able to touch their targets with the balls."

"That sounds easy enough."

Using my newly upgraded gauntlets, I slashed my palm, so I could create a blood rope at any time. It may have taken about five minutes, but we eventually found a straggler. It was a brunette boy in a black and orange costume.

"Okay, it's time."

"Richie, be scandalous."

"Pardon?"

Out of the alleyway that Katsumi and I were in, Richie stuck his leg out into the opening, waving it around like a hooker.

"What kind of stupid distraction is that?!" The boy shouted, not noticing that I had used my Blood Geyser to fly myself onto the building. "And why is it a man's leg?! That's not-"

The crimson threads bound the boy, making him unable to move his arms.

"You call it stupid, but you were still distracted," I huffed. "You can have this one, I'll take the next."

"Yippie!" Katsumi hit all of the guy's targets, before I let him go.

"What?! There were 120 people taken down?!" Mr. Mera shouted through the speakers. "A single person managed to do that in just one attack? That actually surprised me so much that I'm awake! I assume we'll see a lot of people passing from now on. Everyone, let's get this out of the way so I can take a break."

"120?!" The white-haired girl blurted. "That's fucking insane!"

"A bit overkill if you ask me," I shrugged. "But that means less enemies for us."

"Hehe." A girl with long strawberry blonde hair in a Shiketsu High uniform snuck up from behind us, almost taking out one of my targets. Richie flew in front of us, acting as a shield. But then she disappeared?! "Behind you." Her voice was melodic, but I could hear the malicious intent that was very well hidden.

Although her voice was different, something felt familiar about her. I don't like this feeling in my gut.

*Bleep* One of Katsumi's targets was taken out. "Richie, body slam her!"

"No!" I countered. "Retreat."

"What do you mean?"

Lowering my voice, I pulled us back. "Something's off about this chick. She's taking up too much of our time anyway."
