A Mutant's Hero Academia [BNHA & X-men Crossover]

THIRTEEN-PART II

"Time's up!"

Just as those words left Present Mic's mouth, Yumi's fingers safely gripped the 650 points. Her panting didn't cease, and if anything it increased as she stopped her ministrations, releasing the hold she had on Kaminari's mind. Her fringe was stuck to her sweaty forehead as she let her arm droop by her side, her eyes wide open.

"That's the end of the second round, the cavalry battle! Now, let's take a look at the top four teams right away!"

After Midoriya dismounted off the three girls, a dejected Ochako released a deep sigh as she stood by Yumi's side. She was immensely disappointed that they didn't qualify for the next round, or so she thought. But her depressed look didn't last long when she saw what her friend was holding in her hand.

"Y-Y-Yu-chan!" Uraraka shrieked from both shock and excitement. "Where did you get that from?!" In the heat of the moment, she placed her hands on the taller girls shoulders and quickly began shaking it ecstatically. "Does that mean we get to qualify?!"

"I hope so, otherwise I'm getting dizzy for no reason."

"S-sorry.." The brown haired girl chuckled heartily, ceasing to shake Yumi, who smiled softly in return. Ochako wasted no time to run to Deku to tell him the good news, and when he turned his head in their direction he let out a dreadful apology. Only then when he saw the headband that was once wrapped around Todoroki's forehead splayed between Akano's fingers that Midoriya's face beamed joyfully.

"In fourth place, Midoriya's team!"

"Whoa- how- EEEEEH?!" Deku stuttered, face pink and eyes sparkling with an enthusiastic giddiness. And his fidgety state made the redhead's lips raise even further at his uplifted expression. "HOW DID YOU GET IT, AKANO-SAN?! -I'M SO HAPPY I COULD DIE THOUGH!"

Walking to Izuku with delicate footsteps, she handed him the headband. As she did, she felt the satisfaction of not letting down the ones who trusted her enough to let her join their team.

"I told you my ESP included telepathy amongst other things... Anyway, I was hoping to get the ten million, but that guy was clutching onto it for dear life."

Midoriya's lower lip trembled, not fully comprehending how they ended up qualifying. And although he had nothing but questions ruminating in his mind, he felt them being clouded by the joy over flooding.

Meanwhile over at the team that held first place, Yaoyorozu stared up at the rankings of the qualified teams, and she noticed something peculiar; there were points missing from them in the final results.

"Todoroki-san, where's our team's headband?" She asked the distraught teenager, and he immediately lifted his right hand to his forehead, realizing that it was missing. 'What the-' Before Shouto had any time to think, his ears were bombarded with Midoriya's happy squeals, and so he immediately looked over to see what was going on. Todoroki's eyes widened a fraction when he took in the sight of a red haired girl -the same one who'd turned Kaminari into a panicking mess- holding his own team's headband and giving it to Midoriya.

"She... Stole it?" He mumbled to himself, wondering how he could not have noticed.

"When did that happen?" Yaoyorozu, who still stood beside him pondered to herself as well, but her train of thoughts was interrupted when Kaminari walked by her, giving a continuous and random thumbs up as a result of his brain short-circuit. "Yay.."

As Hatsume took the jet back off of Midoriya's back, Yumi stood there quietly until she sensed a pair of eyes set on her form. Softly turning her head to the side, her green eyes followed where she believed was the source and they landed the half-hot half-cold guy. He seemed to notice that his gaze on her alerted her, so after a few seconds of standing still, he turned around and left. Quirking a brow, Yumi mused on what that was about.
