{Cavalry Battle}

Next event was known as cavalry battle.

Forty two students qualified for the cavalry battle after finishing obstacle race.

Each student is given a point value and a team's value depending on where their members finished in preliminaries. The forty-second place finish is worth five points, with five points added to the point value with each cascading place. The first place finisher, however, is worth ten million points.

Individual point values are added together to reach each team's total. These point values are displayed via headbands. The goal of the game is to steal headbands in order to raise the team's score. Contestants are not allowed to make each other fall on purpose. Even if a team loses their headband or falls down, they can compete until the thirty-minute time limit is up.

The students are given fifteen minutes to form their teams.

Ochaco decides to form a team with Izuku because she believes it's best to team up with friends. They try to recruit Tenya, but he refuses and joins Shoto's team in hopes of defeating Izuku. Denki and Momo join Shoto's team as well.

"Akatsuma San! Would you please be in our team?" Midoriya asked.

"Ah! Midoriya! Sure,I would love to be in your team!" Nozomi replied.

"Thanks! Now Uraraka San and Akatsuma San are in my team but there's still one more member left!" Midoriya stated.

"I know the perfect person! C'mon" Midoriya exclaimed.

Midoriya,nozomi and Uraraka approached tokoyami and asked if he would join.

Tokoyami took the offer and joined.

It was decided that tokoyami was the horse, midoriya was the rider and Uraraka and nozomi were the left and right foot respectively.

The final countdown concludes and Midnight announces the beginning of the game. All the teams rush Team Midoriya at once. Izuku boldly proclaims that his team will run away, but then suddenly Juzo uses his Quirk to soften the ground and force Team Midoriya to sink into it. Team Midoriya escapes by using nozomi's defensive mechanism. Jirou attacks them with her earphone jack and tokoyami blocks it using Dark Shadow. Uraraka's Quirk gives Team Midoriya increased mobility since she's floating everything other than herself and a little help from nozomi's telekinesis.

Team Hagakure quickly loses their points when Monoma swipes their headband in the chaos. A free for all ensues while Team Mineta and Team Tetsutetsu try to corner Team Midoriya. Ochaco attempts to flee but her boots are stuck to mineta's sticky spheres. Mineta and Tsu reveal themselves, hiding on Shoji's back.

Nozomi uses her telekinesis to get the sphere off of uraraka's boots which sucks a lot of energy out of her but manages to get it off and flee the scene.

Team Mineta attacks using their Quirks and Izuku is forced to frantically dodge.nozomi manages to float as Uraraka helps in making others fly in the air. Katsuki uses explosions to fly and attack Izuku while in midair. Fumikage is able to block Katsuki's explosion and Hanta uses his tape to reel in Katsuki before he touches the ground.

Seven minutes in, Team Tetsutetsu, Team Monoma, and Team Kendo from Class 1-B control the second through fourth place spots. Every other team, save for Team Midoriya, Team Rin, and Team Todoroki, have lost all their points. Even Team Bakugo falls victim to Neito and Katsuki loses his headband. Neito taunts Team Bakugo and explains most of Class 1-B purposely placed low in the preliminaries in order to observe their Class 1-A rivals. At the halfway point of the game, Team Todoroki confronts Team Midoriya.

Ibara steals Team Mineta's points covertly by using her quirk. This prompts Shoji to go into attack mode and rush the two teams. Other teams also attack at the same time. They are all ultimately defeated when Denki electrifies them and Shoto follows up by freezing them in place before stealing their points.

Fumikage is able to defend against Team Todoroki's attack but the shock makes it harder for nozomi to defend and float at the same time. Team Midoriya isn't fast enough to escape Team Todoroki's pursuit. Dark Shadow attacks and Momo defends Shoto by quickly creating a stone shield. Team Midoriya is forced to the edge of the arena, leaving them nowhere left to run. Even so, Izuku formulates a plan to survive their assault.

With one minute remaining, Team Todoroki has cornered Team Midoriya. However, Izuku has been able to keep Shoto at bay by exploiting Shoto's refusal to use his left side. Tenya takes control of the desperate situation for his team and debuts his special move: Recipro Burst. In a flash, Tenya speeds past Team Midoriya's defenses and Shoto takes Izuku's headband.

The recoil from Tenya's super speed stalls his engines, leaving Team Todoroki immobile. Fumikage suggests the team try to take other headbands but Izuku refuses because there isn't enough time left. Ochaco encourages her team to get their points back and rushes at Team Todoroki. Inspired by his teammate's cooperation, Izuku activates One For All in his arm and charges at Shoto, forcing the latter to ignite his flames as a defense.

Izuku uses his quirk to slice through the air and take out Shoto's defense. He uses the opening and takes one of the headbands off Shoto's neck, believing it to be the ten million point one. However, nozomi confirms the headband is only worth seventy points. Team Midoriya makes one final push and Team Bakugo arrives. They all prepare to clash when suddenly time runs out and the game ends.

Present Mic reveals the top four teams one by one. Team Todoroki comes in first.

Team Bakugo comes in second place.

Team Shinso replaces Team Tetsutetsu for third place.

Believing himself eliminated, Izuku apologizes to his team. Nozomi and Ochaco point him to Fumikage, who apologizes for not being able to grab the ten million point headband in the chaos. Even still, Dark Shadow was able to secure Team Todoroki's original headband, giving them enough points to place fourth and advance to the finals.
