You stood up straight and smiled at the people in the audience. They were clapping and cheering like there was no tommorrow.

You ran over to Izuku who was looking upwards with tears in his eyes and tackled him into a hug.

"Izu! You did so well! I'm so proud of you!"

He hugged you back but quickly pulled away.

"Y/n! What was that!"

"What was what?"

"That stunt you pulled at the end!"

"Ohhh that. Well you see..."

"Y/N WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL!"

You looked over to Katsuki who was stomping towards you, sparks flying from his hands. He was obviously exhausted but he was also furious that you used him.

"Okay look, I'm sorry I used you guys buuttt I mean it wasn't against the rules."

"I don't care about that Y/n!" Izuku shook you by the shoulders "It was dangerous!"

Katsuki pushed him off you and yelled in your face, "DANGEROUS MY ASS, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

You flinched and took a step back, "You can do that later, but for now calm down."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

"Bakugo." You said sternly glaring at him, "You need to stop, you are being watched by this entire stadium and you need to conserve your stamina."

He looked incensed, like he was going to quite literally explode but before he could say anything else you pulled him into a tight hug.

"WHAT THE F-"

"Thanks Kat, you really saved me there."

He stopped thrashing for a moment and took a deep breath. You pulled away and noticed he had clamed down... well as much as he could but he wasn't yelling anymore.

His face was still one of fury but at least he could contain himself.

"I'm going to beat you to a bloody pulp."

You smirked "You can certainly try."

The rest of the 42 qualifiers joined you in the arena pretty quickly, all of your class made it through which was awesome. The top spots went to your class as well, with Izuku in first, you in second, Todoroki in third and Katsuki in fourth. 

Before you knew it, the text challenge was already picked, a cavalry battle. Everyone was supposed to choose teams of two to four people and each person was assigned a point value based on the results of the obstacle course. The point assignments went up by increments of five which left you with a value of 205.

Well that puts me in a pretty fun and fresh spot.

Midnight continued announcing everyone's points and finally got to the top. "And the first place contestant will be assigned a point value of TEN MILLION!"

...

"I FREAKING CALLED IT!" you exclaimed jumping up.

Everyone turned to look at you and realization dawned on their faces. Some how you had predicted that the  winner of the first challenge would be put at a disadvantage so you aimed for second instead.

After staring at you for an awkward moment all the students set their sights on Izuku who looked like his soul had left is body. He could have had a huge target on his back by the way everyone was looking at him.

Midnight finished explaining the rules. "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."
