Shizuka took first place in the race, Katsumi came in second, Hoshi rounded out the top three, and I took an honourable fourth, which was good enough to qualify for the next stage. Except Mick didn't miss his chance, remembering my welcome speech, I'll give you back a cheer for the long tongue!

- Congratulations to those who have passed to the second stage! - Midnight came to the podium under the names on the big screen, - and the next stage will be: 'Battle of the Human Cavalry'! Points will be distributed taking into account the past challenge! - and a plaque popped up on the screen, headed by Shizuka with ten million points.

Everyone staring at Shizuka was told the rules with a picture demonstration and sent off to gather teams. Well, I rushed to the person who may have what I need, because I do not like the way Shizuka is looking at me, no, no, no, let's do it yourself girl, yourself!

- Hi, I haven't met you, but you shined with your gadgets in the last stage, would you like to join my team and make it to the next stage?

- Oh! - Mei Hatsume exclaimed, did you like my kids? Well if you considered the awesomeness of my inventions, then I agree! - And shook my outstretched hand.

- Mei, please tell me, do you have....

- And so, ladies and gentlemen, the second stage of the Yuei Sports Festival is about to begin,' Midnight was broadcasting from the podium as all the teams lined up in the stadium, 'Let's get started!

My team moved as instructed to the edge of the arena. Closest to the huge monitor that was showing the entire battle, getting comfortable and pulling out all the necessary equipment.

Mei and I were joined by Kirishima and Sero. Just as I was recruiting the girl, Kirishima came running in, dragging Sero behind him shouting 'no one can beat us!'. The guy's idea was that he defends, I fly for bandages, and Sero brings me back instantly. A good idea of course, but actually, I'm the only one no one can beat anyway, heh. Yeah, I just gave my points to the nearest team as soon as I got the go-ahead, but why do we need the attention?

- And so, the plan is this, we sit and watch the ten million, if we fail, we watch the next two in value, we don't want an accident... - I said to the seating mates in the corner of the arena, and I was sitting on Kirishima's shoulders, I'm not allowed to go to the ground....

- Toru, are you sure? If we...

- Forget it,' Sero interrupted, 'rest and gain strength for the next round, you'll need it for sure.

- Um, okay. - nodded, accepting my instructions.

Mick: The competition has just begun, and we've already had an unexpected twist - Kayama Toru's team has lost points, what a twist! А? What are they doing? Are they drinking tea? Boy, if you're going to give up, behave yourself! This is an important...

Sotrigolova: Fool!' the teacher dragged his co-caster in, taking away the microphone, 'anyone who has now listened to this foolishness is one step closer to defeat! It is precisely because of his unorthodox behaviour that his every action is worth watching!

Well, while we were devouring tea and biscuits in preparation for the next stage, a real war broke out. Shizuka, who had summoned Uraraka, Mina and Tokoyami to her team, was sneaking away from everyone, building up a defence. Worth noting the addition of Mina, with her acid shields, to Tokoyami's shadow, their armour became almost impenetrable. Also, I would have taken Shoji instead of Uraraki, but alas, Shizuka chose the ones she befriended the most.

The whole fight was very similar to one from canon, with Katsumi's team of Shoji, Tsuyu, and Ibara being pounced upon by Neito Monoma's team, a guy who copies quirks. By the time he decided to attack the favourites, he had already managed to collect all the other points from the other teams. However, he wasted his efforts on Katsumi, and he could have passed, the girl was furious and returned the points he had taken away, and put all their efforts into her piggy bank. Hoshi's team, which included Momo, Iida and Shinsho, spent the entire time chasing Shizuka. There were a few clashes, but until Iida used his trump card, the instant dash, their team couldn't get the grand prize.

Throughout the entire fight, I was plagued by unpleasant thoughts, namely, Shinsho? What the hell? Oh this canon, how do you explain it? Something tells me that he didn't just pop up where he couldn't, he must have a very important role in the future events and he couldn't go into the shadows, let me guess, and in the next stage he will fight Shizuka.

Mick: 10!

- So guys,' he set down his empty mug, 'who has our ten million?

- That's them! - Mei pointed at the screen. - They cheated by reversing the bandages, but that one over there, second from the bottom, is definitely it!

- All right!

Mick the Mighty Mick: 5!

Maxed out the flames, filling the entire stadium. The biggest mistake of this competition was that we were given too small a battlefield to make the battle for points and create a more colourful show.

Sutry Mick: Oh, it seems someone who sat in the corner for the whole fight has come to his senses and decided to enter the competition, but it's too late!

Sotrigolova: What the hell are you talking about!

Mick: 3!

Meeky Meek: 2!

Sous Mick: 1!

The end! And first place goes to... What?' the commentator's glasses even moved off when he saw me sitting on Kirishima's shoulders with the most expensive armband in my hand. - How? Who is this Sotrigolova guy? How he sipped tea the entire competition to take first place with ten million points! Second place team Katsumi Bakugo! Third place team Hoshi Todoroki and last place in the final part of the competition goes to Shizuki Midoriya's team!

Sotrigolova: Ladies and gentlemen, the competition will continue after the lunch break!

Sotrigolova: Hey, Sotrigolova, let's go get something to eat!

Sotrigolova: I'd rather sleep.
