My Fantasy (Katsuki Bakugou x OC)

Sports Festival: The Cavalry Haze

Ainu's POV

"The first game for the first years is finally over and what a game it was! Now let's take a quick look at the standings, shall we?"

A screen shows each persons place starting with 1st. Midoriya was first, Todoroki was second, Bakugou was third, I was fourth, and Ibara was fifth! The list continues, but I couldn't focus much thanks to the headache I have.

"Only the top 42 will advance to the next round, but don't be too let down if you didn't make the cut. We prepared other opportunities for you to shine." She licks her lips. "Now the REAL fun is about to begin~. The chance for to fully move yourselves into the limelight. Give it your best!" She cracks her whip in front of the screen with the selector. "Let's see what we have in store for you next~. Will your wildest fantasies come to life? What could it be? The waiting is torture~!" She puts on her glasses. "Prepare yourself. For this!" The screen stopped on Cavalry Battle.

Interesting. If people would want to choose me, they would probably want me to be in the front, thanks to my demonstration of speed in the obstacle course. Also, since I know both the hero course classes, I might get swarmed. I sweatdrop.

"Allow me to explain. The participants will form teams of 2-4 people as they see fit. In theory, it's basically the same as a regular playground game, but there is one difference~. Each player has been assigned a point value based on the results of the obstacle course." People start talking and explaining it to themselves and the people around them.

But there has to be a twist? Like, the last place is handicapped or the first place has more points than normal or something like that. It only makes sense that way.

Midnight gets mad and cracks her whip in annoyance. "Maybe you should shut up and let me explain things to you! Now then, the point assignments go up by increments of 5, starting from the bottom. For example, 42nd place is worth 5 points and 41st is worth 10. And the point value assigned to the first place contestant is....10 million!"

I knew it! Wait.... I look towards Midoriya. Oh no.

Everyone starts looking a Midoriya like he's prey, waiting to be hunted by a predator. I look at him with the most sympathetic expression I would ever give.

"That's right. It's survival of the fittest with the chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top!"

He gets really nervous and looks at everyone timidly. He spots me and his eyes widen with shock. He didn't expect anyone to look at him with sympathy. Figures. I give him the most comforting smile I could ever give and he gives me a scared smile and nods. A flicker of determination flashes through his eyes. There you go. Don't be scared. You can do this!

"First years! These are the rules that you'll abide by. The game itself will last 15 minutes. Individual point values will be added together to reach your team total. Everyone will know how much you're worth, thanks to you headbands. Swipe as many headbands as you can to raise your teams' score. Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck-up. So the more you steal, the harder it'll be to manage them. And another thing, even if your headband gets stolen or your team falls down, you can keep playing till time's up!"

More students start explaining.

"This is going to be rough. You may use your quirks as much as you like. But, there are still rules. Make a team fall on purpose and I'll slap you with a red card! You'll be disqualified! Now, you got 15 minutes to build your teams! I recommend you get started!"

This is going to be hard for Midoriya. I hope he can put together a decent team.

Someone puts their hand on my shoulder, breaking me out of my thoughts. I turn to see indigo hair and baggy eyes.
