Melascula's P.O.V.

"EVERYONE ARE YOU PREPARED!?" Iida asks off in the distance as to alert everyone before continuing "WE'RE SET TO START IN A FEW MINUTES!" He shouts a bit louder this time to make sure everyone knows 'He knows we heard the announcement too, right..?'

"Damn it, I really wanted to wear my costume..." Mina says as she lays down on her folded arms as the rest on the table we are sitting at, she wears a small pout on her pink face as she faces me expectingly. "It's to give everyone a fair shot, the disallowed all costumes. Maybe in the next U.A. event you'll be allowed to wear it."

She sighs sadly as she shoots her arms outward in exasperation before face flopping on the table and murmuring a quiet "Hopefully..."

"Hey Melascula," Mineta calls out to me from his seat beside Yaoyorozu who seams to be... touching his balls?

On his head.

"Aren't you nervous? People all over Japan are gonna be watching us LIVE on TV. This is also where we could get recommended for an Internship, but, you seam as calm as ever- WHY ARE YOU SHAKING SO MUCH!?"

"Mineta... Truthfully, I am terrified..." Mineta reaches out to comfort? I wouldn't know because I stood up to continue and get my point across. "Even so! Everyoneー Even the kids from other departments are aiming for the top, everyone's nervous... Still, that won't stop me."

"Cause, I'm gonna win this thing."

...

...

...

No Ones P.O.V.

"IT'S THE FRESHMAN STAGE! AND THE STUDENTS ARE MAKING THEIR ENTRY NOW!" Present Mic's voice boomed over the stadium catching everyone in the stands attention.

*Thud* Her boots hit the floor, the sound sharp and clear, cutting through the tension in the air. The stage was set, and she could almost hear the whispers of the crowd beyond the walls of the arena. This step felt like the calm before the stormー quiet, but purposeful.

"THE U.A. SPORTS FESTIVAL!! WHERE THE HERO WORLD'S LITTLE EGGS ALL DUKE IT OUT FOR THE TOP SPOT! OUR GRAN YEARLY MELEE!!"

*Thud* Another step. She didn't smile, but something inside her clicked. The familiar buzz of excitement, the rush of adrenalineー yeah, she was ready. The path was clear, her goal in sight.

"AND LET ME GUESS, YOU ALL CAME OUT TO SEE, THEM, RIGHT?? YES! I'M TALKING ABOUT THE FRESHIES WHO SHRUGGED OFF A MASS VILLAIN ATTACK WITH WILLS OF STEEL!"

*Thud* She looked beside herself, where all her friends walked along side her, Mina, Kirishima, Mineta, Bakugo, Uraraka, Tsu, Iida and the rest of my class. And took her final step onto the arena floor. Blank-faced, yes, but there was fire behind those eyes. She could feel it. This was her time.

"THE DEPARTMENT OF HEROICS FRESHMAN CLASS... GIVE IT UP FOR CLASS 1-A!!"

Melascula's P.O.V.

I could hear the Loud cheering of the crowd. It was almost overwhelming. All these faces, All these people, here to see them, here to see Me! but I can't freeze up, I have to show them that I can- 'OH MY GOD IS THAT MIDNIGHT!?'

No Ones P.O.V.

"Jeez that's A LOT of people..." Mina said as she looked around the stands. Iida who was also looking around the stands voiced his wisdom with a question. "Can you draw out your best with so many eyes gazing? That's what will make or break you..!" 

"So much for that motivational speech, huh, Melascula- MELASCULA!? ARE YOU OKAY!?" Uraraka asked from her space beside Melascula who was practically vibrating. You'd think she was a.... never mind.

Uraraka trying to get her attention to no avail decided to follow her eyes to where she was looking before her face turned into a look that conveyed her words perfectly even if she didn't say itー "Oh... That's why."

"AND FOLLOWING THEM, WE HAVE THE OTHER CLASSES, B,C,D AND E. ALL FROM GENERAL EDUCATION...! AND FOLLOWING THEM WE HAVE CLASSES F,G AND H. ALL FROM THE SUPPORT DEPARTMENT!" Present Mic glosses over the other classes as to finish up quickly.

The students from General Education's reactions to being treated like fodder being bitter. Some of them bit back curses while others glared at 1-A until a voice broke the commotion.

"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT SETTLE DOWN!!" 

A heavenly voice commanded as all fell silent to listen to it. Midnight, the R-Rated Hero, had arrived, and the entire stadium seemed to hold its breath in reverence. She stood there, whip in hand, exuding a confidence so magnetic it felt like she had the crowd wrapped around her little finger. Her outfit, daring as ever, radiated power and boldness, her every movement laced with a sense of playful authority that only she could pull off.

The students put their game face on and readied to listen to her, well, all except a few. "Wait, R-rated? This is a high school. Is that really okay?"

"SILENCE! MY TENURE HERE IS PERFECTLY ON LEVEL!!" She shouts in outrage before crossing her arms under her ample bosom and pouting. Yep, this is Midnight... Truly a one-of-a-kind Heroine.

Uraraka who had successfully calmed Melascula down had a sweat drop as she observed the "Interesting" scene before her before she turned to look at Melascula with a weary look.

Melascula, who had yet to notice the look watched on with a blank face masking her inner thoughts that went something along the lines of- "OH MY GOD I HAVE TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH AFTER THIS!!!" Safe to say, despite not showing it, she was extremely happy to be there.

Midnight stopped her childish pout before scanning the children before her. Her eyes settled on one in particular before a smirk came to her face as she pointed the whip in her hand to the student before shouting so all in the stadium could hear-

"Now, For the player representing the students..! MELASCULA MIDORIYA OF CLASS 1-A!!"

Different reactions spurred from the members of Class 1-A. "Looks like you're up MnM!" Mina says as she playfully slaps Melascula on the back. Jiro who was nearby along side Denki continued Mina's excitement with a small but noteworthy smile "It makes sense, she did place first in the Entrance Exam... Hey, is she doing okay?"

'SHE SAID MY NAME!!!'

"Yep, she's doing fine!" Mina says as she grabs Melascula and begins shaking her as if to wake her up from her daze. She then pushes her forward before shouting a quick "Good luck!" As Melascula walks up to the platform where Midnight awaits her with a hand on her hip and a playful yet almost encouraging smirk on her face that seams to say 'Go for it!'

Suddenly there she was, on the platform, next to her idol, standing Infront of a crowd. Some wanted to challenge her, other were expecting, and some were friends. But, out there, in whatever challenge they get... These were enemies. Enemies on her path to victory. And she had to say something so they would know she meant business.

She overlooked the crowd of students and spectators. And with a challenging look that said "Try me if you dare." She spoke into the mic.

"I, Melascula Midoriya, of Class 1-A... am going to WIN!"

...

...

''MIDORIYA WHY!?!?''

Most of the students in class 1-A think to themselves as their faces contort into horror except for a few. Bakugo give a glare, Todoroki gives her a look that seams just as cold as his ice and Uraraka... Well, she just looks happy to be there. 

Melascula looks at her class and gives an innocent smile as if saying 'I did nothing wrong.' Midnight gives a knowing smile covered by a face palm 'Here it comes...'

""BOOOOO!!""

"Don't be so full of yourselves, Class 1-A!"

"Assholes!"

The extras from the other classes shouted as Melascula gave a bow to Midnight and a mock salute to her opponents.

As she stepped off the platform she could feel the glares of all the other students but she paid them no mind still with the same innocent smile on her face as she re-joined her classmates.

"Midoriya, you're my friend, and that's why I have to ask... What the FUCK was that!" Mina shouts as she grasps Midoriya's shoulder shakes her back and forth as if to get her in the right mind. Melascula, who can't help but notice her pink face seams a bit lighter. 'I guess that really made her angry.' 

She then grabs Minas hands to stop her before explaining herself. 

"Sorry Mina, I didn't mean to turn them against the whole class, Honest. I just wanted to make them see I wasn't here to play around and I might have gotten a bit caught up in the moment..." She says pulling her hands away and putting them up in a defensive position as Mina gets closer to her face and shouts-

"A BIT!?"

"Alright, enough banter! Let's get started right away!" Midnight shouts into the mic gaining the attention of both the students and audience alike. She twirls her whip in her hand before resting it on her shoulder as a hologram appears behind her saying "FIRST GAME".

"This is what we call a preliminary round! Every year folks end up choking on their tears here! And now for the first round, it's-" She then shoots the hand holding her whip upwards motioning towards the hologram behind her as the text begins changing. 

After a few seconds of the text rapidly changing it finally settles... "AN OBSTICLE RACE!"

Midnight outstretched her hand holding her whip for theatric flair as she motioned towards the opening gate behind the students. Her voice boomed across the stadium. "The course makes a nearly 4-kilometer ring around this stadium! It's a race between all classes!"

Melascula along with the other students of U.A. turned away from their spot facing Midnight as they walked towards the opening gate. Nerves rising to the surface, some students were shaking, some were stretching, and some were conversing with their friends. 

The students of 1-A all had that look of determination, and Melascula couldn't help but wonder if her speech had been the spark that ignited their resolve. Oh well she had no time to think about it as Midnight continued as they all crowded Infront the now opened gate.

"We always talk about our freedom on campus." She said in a singsong voice followed by and unsettling laugh that sent shivers down the spine of the students. "Well this is what it's all about! You're free to do anything, as long as you remain withing the course!"

"On your marks…" Midnight's playful smirk was practically audible in her voice. "Get ready to crack some skulls... Metaphorically, of course!" she added with a wink to the crowd, earning a mix of laughs and nervous chuckles. 

*Drip* The sound of sweat colliding with the ground. Suddenly everything was silent. Melascula gazed at the open gate with determination at the first of three green lights above it turned on. This was it, the 'Start Line'.

*Beep* Another light lit up. Now she could hear the sounds of Iida's engines roaring. The popping sounds of Katsuki's Explosions as he flashed an almost feral grin. 'He looks like an angry Pomeranian... Weird.'

"STAAAAAAAAAART!!" Midnight roared dramatically, cutting off any further thoughts. The crowd exploded into cheers as the final light turned on.

Melascula shot forward, her body moving with the precision of a trained assassin. The space between her and the other students decreasing rapidly, and almost crushing her thin, curvy yet muscular figure.

She looked forward and saw someone, a student from her own class, Todoroki. Turns out Elsa here had formed some sort of Ice path and had already made it out of the hoard of students. 'YES!' And that's was her ticket out of here.

She forced herself through a few students blocking her way. Sure her body stature is still petite but from all the training on that beach, along side her keeping up with the weight training All Might made her do almost every day. Her physical strength was still no joke.

She skated on the ice path created by Todoroki as she weaved through the chaos, dodging and shoving past students. Todoroki seeing her catching up to him using the Ice he had made, began freezing her legs.

Seeing this she quickly used a small flame to melt the ice before jumping of the ice path. 'Guess I'm not using that anymore...' She thinks with an annoyed look. Before she shoots off again running to catch up to Todoroki who continues advancing through the course.

"You two are gonna have to try harder than that..."

Melascula hearing a familiar voice, even as she continues running forward she takes a look behind her and can barely suppress a chuckle. 'Leave it to these guys to always impress her.'

"YOU TWO AIN'T GETTING AWAY THAT EASY!!" Behind her was her classmates. Bakugo was yelling as he shot forward pass the other students with his explosions. Mina was skating on her acid, copying the same technique Todoroki was using. Mineta and Tsu were hopping over the crowd, Mineta using his balls and Tsu just using her strong hind legs. Yaoyorozu and Aoyama shot forward one using his Navel lazer and Momo created a metal pole from her hands as she followed the rest of 1-A. Iida had already escaped the crowd and was quickly gaining on her with his engine.

'Dang I wish I had a way to enhance my speed... Oh wait I do!' Melascula thought as she began charging up a fireball in her hands.

*CRASH* A sound disrupted her focus as both her and Todoroki came to a halt. As they both looked upwards... 'No... NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN!' Melascula thought with a groan of frustration as she settled a glare that gave off a dark aura that made even Todoroki flinch as he took a few steps away from her.

The reason for Melascula's outrage? The giant 0-Pointer robots staring down at her. 

'Why is she so mad..? These things aren't even that tough. She could easily handle them.' Todoroki thinks to himself as he begins charging up for an attack. Melascula seeing this backed away from him. 'No way in hell I'm getting caught up in whatever he's doing there.'

For a moment, the air was tense almost like everything stopped. Todoroki knelt down, placing his right hand slightly behind him. The robots all simultaneously began advancing. Anyone else would have backed up but Todoroki? He was as still as the frost gathering beneath his feet.

'Seriously, though. They could have thrown something tougher my way...'

His mismatched eyes were locked on his targets, unreadable and cold, much like the air surrounding him. With a single, exaggerated motion, he swung his hand upwards, and in an instant, the area around him transformed.

*CRACK* A deafening crack echoed as an avalanche of ice erupted from his side, rushing forward like a tidal wave. It swallowed the massive robots whole, freezing them all mid-step.

Back at the stadium, the crowd who was following along the race using the same hologram-like screen, erupted in cheers, this is what they came here to see.

Most of the students who had caught up stumbled backward, some barely avoiding the creeping ice, but Todoroki didn't flinch. His breath came out in cold puffs, his gaze sharp, focused.

"...Since my shitty old man's watching." He finished his sentence this time outwards. Melascula who was a bit behind him couldn't hear what he said very well but she did hear 'old man's watching.' she'll remember that.

Todoroki had already shot off again running past the frozen robots, continuing the race ahead of him. 

Melascula stood still watching the robots... He didn't have to wait so long to freeze them. He could have instantly done it, so why did he wait so long before freezing them? Was it to look cool for the audience? No. Todoroki, doesn't do things to show off. He does things deliberately and with purpose. All these thoughts signaled off in her head in an instant only interrupted by the sound of a shout- 

"Hey, he stopped them! He opened the way so we can go through!" A student who was Infront of her shouted as he and a few others started running ahead. Melascula watched the robots with a calculating gaze, for some reason they appeared to be getting... closer? 'Oh that's what's happening... The absolute ASSHOLE! He froze the robots mid-step so they could fall and block off the other students!'

Melascula seeing this sighed before shouting "GET BACK HERE QUICK THE ROBOTS ARE FALLING!" The students hearing her call looked up to see the robots towering figure shattering as they begin tumbling down. Within the second the students began sprinting back as all of the robots came tumbling down.

'Whew, that was a close one... Still I can't let him get too ahead of me... Guess I've gotta clean this mess up.' Melascula thinks to herself as she takes a step forward. 'His Ice seams stronger than it was at the USJ... He's not the only one who's improved though!'

She then raises her hand and motions it towards the robots Infront of her. The air around her began to twist unnaturally, rippling as a dark energy manifested in her palm as black and purple flames erupted from it as she spoke.

"Dark Flame."

  暗い炎

The flames roared to life, spiraling around her like a living beast unleashed from its cage and with a flick of her wrist, the massive torrent of black and purple fire surged forward, racing toward the frozen robots with unstoppable force.

The moment the flames touched the icy structures, the result was instantaneous. The frozen steel didn't just melt— it disintegrated, vanishing into nothingness as though it had never existed. The towering machines crumbled into ash, the sheer heat and power of the attack wiping away any trace of their once-menacing forms. 

'Okay... a bit overboard, but oh well!'

"That takes care of that... Gotta go!" Melascula shouts as she sprints away from the scene. Leaving behind the already awestruck students. The students of class 1-A were the first to react not being too shocked as they had already seen her firepower. They shot off quickly following behind her.

 Back at the stadium the crowd erupted in even louder cheers. Back-to-back they had witnessed two destructive forces, and they were loving every second of it.

Back with Melascula, as she and the other students sprint, fast approaching Todoroki who gives a look behind him as if to say 'That was fast.' Still, he spares no more time as he continues running forward.

Suddenly someone shoots past Melascula and Todoroki at sonic speeds surprising them both. Who was it? Well, no one other than the 1-A class rep himselfー Tenya Iida!

'Crap I forgot about him... this is what I get for destroying the robots!' Melascula mentally berates herself as she finally catches up to Todoroki. Who is sending a glare her way, to which she looks away from him in embarrassment as sweat pours from her head. 

"PLAYERS GET READY FOR THE SECOND CHALLENGE..! THE FAAAAAALL!! IF YOU FALL YOU'RE OUT! DON'T LIKE IT? MAYBE YOU CAN CRAWL.1"

(Image)

Iida hesitantly stops right before the beginning of the giant pit. Seeing this, Todoroki uses it to his advantage as he jumps onto the ropes that connect the platforms as he uses his ice to make a pathway as he skates over the giant pit and makes it to the other side in seconds. He successfully takes back his spot in first place. 

Iida, not wanting to lose his ground, follows Todoroki's lead using his engines to propel him forward as he skates along the ropes. A pink haired girl, wearing goggles says something about 'Her babies' as she equips a pair of boots and other devices as she grapples across the obstacle. Bakugo, he was doing fine. He had already made it across, propelling himself with his explosions and already catching up to Iida and Todoroki who were battling for First place.

As for Melascula, in the time she had taken to train she gained further control over her darkness. She followed Bakugo using her flames to propel her forward.

'The only problem with this...' She thinks as she looks behind herself as the area behind her was on fire. Luckily the students weren't caught in it. 'I can't rely on this. I'd be a danger to the others.' 

"AND NOW FOR THE FINAL BARRIER... A MINE FIELD! IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE THE MINES BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO STRAIN YOUR EYES!"

(Image)

Iida, noticing this turns off his engines and focusses on stepping around the land mines. Todoroki, stays a bit ahead of Iida as he too focuses on the landmines. But, Bakugo soars through them, using his explosions to glide over them. Todoroki noticing this, slightly freezes Bakugo's hands. Making him unable to use his explosions temporarily.

'Well isn't this perfect~' Melascula thinks to herself as a smirk reminiscent of Midnight's own appears on her face, she finally summons her darkness. Not as a barrier, but as a platform that she uses to stay above the mines. She continues running through the mine field.

Todoroki, noticing her easily making her way through the field tries to stop her with a sudden Ice wall. But noticing this, black and purple flames begin to flicker from her fingertips as she makes a gun motion with her hand and quietly whispers.

"Fire gun."

 消防銃

The Ice wall instead of disintegrating, this time the area that was hit began melting as Melascula quickly slipped through and left them behind and still in the Mine field. There it was! The stadium was just in sight.

She took a quick look behind her and saw Todoroki and Bakugo gaining on her. 'Looks like Katsuki got his hands unfroze and Todoroki followed my lead with an Ice path to catch up to us. Nice, but, something feels... off... Where's Iida-' 

Before Melascula could finish her observation something had already zoomed straight pass her. She snapped her head forward at breakneck speeds and caught a glimpse of him...

Iida, who had used the ice path Todoroki had made had paired it with his engines. He skated across the ice while Todoroki was distracted trying to catch up to Melascula and had already ran pass them and made his was to the Stadium.

"WELL FOLKS LOOKS LIKE THE MAN WHO HAS RETURNED TO THE STADIUM IN FIRST IS NONE OTHER THAN TENYA IIDA!!"

 Iida speedily reached into the stadium as he took a knee to rest his legs. His engines steamed and he had a smile on his face, one full of pride. He had used his quirk and his brains and had gotten the best of the situations he was faced with.

"LOOKS LIKE THEIR ALL COMING ONE AFTER THE OTHER! WE'LL COMPLETE THE RESULTS LATER SO FOR NOW, ENJOY YOUR BREATHER!"

Melascula who was now walking, went up to Iida with a small smile on her face. "Congrats Iida, I forgot about you at the end there. I didn't even get to see you before you rushed pass me." She said as she extended a hand to raise him up to which he gladly accepted with a smile on his face.

"I appreciate the praise, but if not for you destroying all the robots in the fist obstacle, I fear I would not have made it so far. My victory here is partially thanks to you- WHY DO YOU APPEAR SO HURT!?" Iida who tried to be respectful had just learned the meaning of 'think before you talk'

Melascula in this very moment was regretting ever destroying those 0-Pointers. About now her thoughts sounded something like- 'Why? Why? Why? WHY DID I HAVE TO SHOW OFF!?'

Later after all the students had arrived Midnight had revealed the placements. Iida obviously in first, Melascula in 2nd, Todoroki in 3rd, Katsuki in 4th, A girl from class B named Ibara in 5th, Mineta in 6th, followed by Tokoyami in 7th and so on...

"Only the Forty-two at the top have earned the right to advance!! I'm sorry for the other kids who failed, but take heart! This festival's showstopper is still being prepared!" Midnight's voice echoed from her position on the same platform from the beginning. She clapped her hands together as the remaining students all rounded up Infront the platform in groups that depended on their class.

Midnight flashed a smile as she looked down on the students before continuing "Now, FOR THE POST-PRELIMINARIES, THE FINAL SELECTION..!" She pauses for a second as to keep the crowd and players in suspense, suffice to say, she's enjoying this a bit too much...

As the text in the hologram screen behind her begins changing she motions to it with her free arm, pointing behind her as she flashes that sadistic smirk before shouting for all to hear- "HUMAN CAVALRY BATTLE!!"

The announcement was met with a mix of murmurs, gasps, and a few groans. Melascula Midoriya, standing quietly among her classmates, tilted her head slightly. 'A cavalry battle..? Yep, this isn't gonna end well.' 

"Alright, the rules are simple," Midnight continued, her whip snapping for emphasis. "You'll each form two to four man teams and get in a horse back configuration. From there it's the same rules as a normal Human Cavalry battle: Swipe enemy headbands and protect your own."

"HOWEVER, there's a twist!" She let the suspense hang for a moment before pointing to the large hologram screen above, which displayed a number... 10 Million.

"Everyone will receive points based on their performance in the last trial. 41st place gets 10 points, 40th gets 15 points and so on." She explained, her grin widening. "The only exception is the 1st place..." She then motioned once more to the 10 million displayed above her on the hologram. "Who's the proud owner of this headband, worth TEN MILLION POINTS!"

All eyes turned to Tenya Iida, Some glaring (That was mostly class 1-B) and others curiously observing. But Iida? He... actually he was doing pretty fine. He stood there with a small but firm smile on his face and looked as if he were accepting an award... Suffice to say, he still didn't realize his situation.

'I don't think he realizes this puts a huge target on his back...' Melascula thought as she gave a pitying look towards Iida who had just realized the glares he was receiving. 

"Alright, eyes on the big screen now!" Midnight said as she pointed to the hologram-like screen behind her that showed a visual of All Might who was being carried by Present Mic and Thirteen. He had a white headband that had "50p" printed on it.

"The point value of each groups headband is worth the accumulated points of the warhorse's members." She flashed her signature daring grin as she continued "The one wearing the headband will be the team's rider. You'll be fighting, dodging, and strategizing all within fifteen minutes. That's it. Every second counts." 

"Now, now," she purred, her tone sweet yet laced with unmistakable authority, "before we dive headfirst into this delightful mayhem, let me lay down a few ground rules for you eager little warriors."

She pointed her whip at the students, the dramatic gesture causing a few to flinch. "Quirks are, of course, allowed, so I want to see some fine brutality out there." She paused, letting the word 'brutality' hang in the air, her grin gleaming with mischief. "But don't get too carried away."

The massive hologram screen behind her flashed bold letters: RED CARD RULE. Midnight then continued, her voice turning sharp, like a teacher ready to enforce punishment. "If you attack another group with the malicious intent of breaking them up that's a red card!" Her eyes gleamed dangerously as she raised a single finger. "And that means you'll be forced to sit out the rest of the game. No exceptions, no second chances."

The crowd responded with approval, though a few students exchanged nervous glances. Melascula's face shifted into a frown as she let out a sigh 'A line between strategy and violence... noted.'

Midnight's grin softened, she then rested her hands on her hips as she finished "Alright, You've got Fifteen minutes until then, SO START NEGOTIATING YOUR TEAM-UPS!"

...

...

...

Iida's P.O.V.

"Yo, Iida!" A recognizable voice called out to me, It's a voice I recognize almost instantly. My good friend Midoriya. "Hmm?'

"Iida. Let's team up." A team up with Midoriya... With me as the horse and her Quirk protecting us we would be almost guaranteed to keep the headband. "I'd be a fool to not accept such an offer... Especially with this headband." I reach out for a handshake to which she accepts with a small smile

"I was already thinking of making you the horse. I hope you don't mind?" She asks as she looks away in embarrassment while scratching her cheek. "Not at all! I had the same thought."

"Oh, should have expected... But just incase I want to add another member to the team-" She continues but before she can finish her sentence a voice calls out to us "Iida! MnM!" Oh, that voice belongs to...

"Uraraka! I was just looking for you! Wanna team up?" Melascula asks in a friendly tone as she turns to face Uraraka who walks up with a smile as bright as the sun itself. 'I wish I had tinted lenses...'

...

...

...

"NOW!! IT'S TIME FOR THE SECOND ROUND OF THE SPORTS FESTIVAL, THE HUMAN CAVALRY BATTLE," Present Mic's voice booms over the arena as I ready myself for the awaiting challenge. "Iida, Uraraka, Mei... Are you guys ready?" Melascula says in a serious tone reflecting her feelings better than her battle-ready stoic face. 

""YEAH!"" Uraraka and Hatsume both respond from behind me as I steady my breath. "Iida?" Melascula calls out to me to which I respond with a nod as I reply "Ready to win!"

"TO BEGIN!!"
