Bakugo sat atop his friends shoulders. Selo, although not very strong, was still able to pull her weight. Soon the battle begun, everyone charging at Midoriya.
"Shouldn't... Izu."
"We shouldn't go for Midoriya?" Selo nods.
"Go... for... others." Bakugo scoffs. But then he considers it.
"Fine. Change course, we're going for that blonde bastard." The Gang changed their course as they darted towards the only other cocky blond. They noticed this and instantly ran past, tapping Bakugo's shoulder. He then, in less than a second, blasted Bakugo's face with his own quirk. Selo was slightly alarmed by this. She did the logical thing and picked her brush off the ground. With great force, she swung the brush, practically flinging the green ink everywhere. The other team looked surprised by this until Selo looked over and saw a guy with a gold helmet filled with holes shoot a cement-like substance out of his head, trapping the team. "DAMN IT!" Bakugo let out his rage as Selo started melted the cement with her acid ink. The other blonde then came and snatched Bakugo's headband. Bakugo, enraged, jumped off of the stack and practically flew over to the other blonde with his explosions. He then snatched his headband, along with the one they just stole, and was pulled back by Sero's tape.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?" Selo scolded Bakugo. "At least give us a heads up!"
"CAN IT FLAT FACE!" The Team quickly pivoted and made their way towards Midoriya's team. Soon, a wall of ice made by Todoroki surrounded the three teams. Todoroki's team moved first, dashing towards Midoriya's team. Todoroki's team snatched their headband.
"15 SECONDS LEFT!" Bakugo leapt off of everyone again.
"AND THAT'S IT!" Bakugo then face planted onto the floor as the winning teams were announced. Selo smiled a bit when she heard Midoriya's team would continue to the next round. She then walked over to Midoriya, still smiling.
"Good job Izu." She held out her hand to shake. Midoriya smiled with tears in his eyes and shook her hand.
"Thank you Tako..." He said as his eyes became a literal water fountain. Selo looked at him, confused as to why he was crying. Her face returned to its infamous neutral state as she congratulated Uruaka.
"Chaco." Selo tapper Uruaka's shoulder. Uruaka turned in slight confusion until she saw Selo.
"Ah! Hey Tako!" She beamed.
"Good job." Selo patted her head. Uruaka stood there for a moment, dumbfounded. She then fell backwards.
"Chaco?" Selo knelt down besides her, checking if she was conscious. The impact of the fall must've caused her to pass out. Selo thought as she put Uruaka on her back. Uruaka wasn't very heavy to Selo, to which Selo assumed she was unconsciously using her quirk. Everyone walked back to the stage when the next event was announced. One on one battles. Selo watched as Ojiro and another student forfeited. The brackets were soon on the screen. I'm against Aoyama. He's not a very good fighter, plus he can't use his quirk for very long. I'll swerve around his shots like in the war. Selo's eyes squinted a little before returning to their normal position. Soon enough everyone was dismissed for lunch.

During her lunch break, Selo just sat around. She watched Todoroki call Midoriya so they could talk, but she didn't think much of it. She also watched Bakugo follow them as well. Instead of following, she roamed through the crowds. Everyone was happy and bouncing about, but that only made her feel more uneasy. During this time she was able to think. If she was transported to this world, would other inklings and octolings be too? Did someone's power from this world bring her here? What if Sage's di-
"TAKO!" Selo was broken out of her trance by none other than Momo Yaoyarozu. "We're all getting into cheer uniforms for lunch break! Aizawa said we have to! Here's yours!" Yaoyarozu shoved a uniform into Selo's hands before running off, presumably to find the other girls. Selo then quickly caught up to Yaoyarozu, tapping her shoulder.
"Who told this?" Selo raised her eyebrow in suspicion.
"Oh! Kaminari and Mineta did!" Selo deadpans at her answer. She gives Yaoyarozu the uniform back before walking away. Yaoyarozu stood there and sighed in defeat. As Selo walked away, she thought for a moment that Kaminari and Mineta's shenanigans were what kept her on edge. That was until she saw a familiar yellow gleam in the distance. The owner of this head of tentacles had soft blue eyes and was wearing a blue jacket with a white shirt underneath it. Her skin mimicked the look of a gingerbread cookie. A line crossed between their eyes, which were looking down at a triangular tipped phone. It wasn't who she thought it was, but it certainly looked like someone from her home. She approached them slowly before tapping them on the shoulder. As they turned around, both of their eyes widened.
"An Octoling?" "An Inkling?" They said simultaneously. They stared at eachother for a quick moment before Selo opened her mouth.
"Who are you? Why do you look like Sage?"
"Who's Sage? Why are you talking in Inkling?" They replied hastily. Selo narrowed her eyes.
"My name is Selo, Lieutenant of the Octarian Army. You will tell me who you are." Selo clenched her first threateningly.
"Calm down Selo. My name is Iria, but you can call me Agent 4. I was part of the Squidbeak Platoon." Selo nods at Agent 4 as she took in her appearance. She seemed to be 18, and living in good conditions.
"Do you teach at U.A?" 4 thinks for a moment.
"No, I do not. However, I do visit regularly to speak with Ms. Midnight."
"Do you know Japanese?" 4's eyes squint a bit.
"No, I do not know what 'Japanese' is."
"It's the language spoken here." 4 made an 'o' shape with her mouth.
"Answer's still no, sorry." She laughed nervously. "Though I have heard of a person here who knows how to speak out language." Selo nods.
"Nilotic."
