With gritted teeth, Kirishima Eijiro said to Kaminari and Rairou beside him, "You guys help me catch Bakugo, I'm going to give him a good beating!!"
Team Todoroki had already gestured to Bakugo and the others not to respond or speak, but Bakugo's temper still couldn't stand the mockery, and he completely treated his teammates like treasures!
Other classmates might be afraid of Bakugo, but Kirishima isn't! Among the entire Class A Hero Course, Kirishima and Bakugo are the closest. So when a friend does something wrong, naturally he'll punch him to wake him up!!
While the other two were catching Bakugo, Kirishima turned around and delivered a friendly punch to Bakugo's face. Even though he lost this time, he wanted to teach Bakugo a lesson!
"Ouch! You idiot, why did you hit me?!"
But Bakugo's sudden cry of pain while clutching his face stunned Kirishima, who muttered to himself:
"Is it possible that my punches can actually wake someone up?!"
"I get it, you big dummy!!"
Bakugo retaliated with a punch to Kirishima's head, gritting his teeth and grinning fiercely. He had been thoroughly humiliated just now, but thanks to Kirishima's punch, he had snapped out of it. The quick-witted Bakugo immediately figured out the reason.
"Go to the other squads!!"
"Sigh, aren't we going to try and grab the first-place headband?"
"Just go when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense!!"
Directing Kirishima's actions, Bakugo's team ran directly to the other teams whose movements were being hampered by Todoroki's forces, while Midoriya's team was still engaged in a fierce battle of evasion and maneuvering with Todoroki's team, completely unable to attend to anything else.
"Wake up!!"
Bakugo punched Tokikage Tokoyami hard in the face, seemingly venting his anger at being constantly harassed, and then punched each member of their squad as usual.
"it hurts!"
"Bakugo, why did you hit me?"
"How did I get frozen!?"
Those who were woken up by Bakugo's punches were freed from Shinso Hitoshi's control, but they were all in a state of confusion!
"Now it's time for me to teach that bastard a lesson!"
When Shinso told the controlled squad what he had done, it naturally aroused their anger. After breaking free from Todoroki Shoto's icy restraints, they immediately attacked Midoriya's squad.
Meanwhile, Bakugo gradually woke up the other teams one by one, and after explaining to each of them, everyone's attention was focused on Izuku Midoriya and his group.
"I said... the situation on the ground is not good!"
Midoriya looked at the scene before him with great embarrassment. Apart from the Todoroki and Bakugo squads, the other squads were all looking at them with expressions of deep hatred. It was clear that Shinso had incurred the wrath of the group!
"You bunch of weaklings, come and fight me!!"
"........."
Shinso's taunts continued, and none of the team members present spoke up. They all rushed towards Midoriya's team at the same time, not responding verbally, but ready to punch them.
"I think...they really are coming to beat you up!!"
"........"
Izuku Midoriya was speechless, and Shinso was embarrassed and unable to say a word. Now that his Quirk was fully exposed, no one else was falling for it. But now was not the time to stop and wait to die. Midoriya accelerated with his wheel drive and escaped at lightning speed!
"Classmates, although I really don't want to spoil your fun, I must apologize and remind you that there are only 3 minutes left in the horseback battle!"
The referee's unpredictable remarks at midnight startled the other teams that were chasing Midoriya's team. They all started fighting each other, as grabbing the headband and advancing was the most important thing at that moment!
"Did they survive...?"
Watching the chaotic battle that had begun behind him, Izuku Midoriya felt uneasy. Teaming up with Shinso was really dangerous; one wrong move and you'd be used as a target for a group beating.
"Hand over first place obediently!"
"Iida-kun, let's go!"
Meanwhile, two other squads, Todoroki's squad and Bakugo's squad, were also hot on their heels. They already knew that Shinso's Quirk could only be activated if he spoke to the person in question and responded.
"Run!!"
Not daring to stop, Midoriya seized the opportunity to slip away as fast as he could!
Chapter 47 Halftime
The horseback battle was over. In the last 3 minutes, thanks to Ochako's full-force "zero gravity" technique, Midoriya used his rocket pack to propel his team high into the air, beyond the reach of Bakugo's and Todoroki's teams.
In the final rankings, the team that came in first place was Midoriya's team, because Izuku Midoriya got 1000 million points, making them the undisputed number one.
The second place went to the Todoroki Squad. After shifting their target, the Todoroki Squad managed to steal some headbands while the other teams were being turned into puppets by Shinso.
The third place went to Bakugo's team. While Bakugo Katsuki was waking up the other teams with his face-breaking punch, he also didn't forget to grab a few bandanas.
Fourth place goes to the Tokoyami Squad. In the midst of the chaotic battle where everyone was killing each other, Tokoyami Fumikage, with his outstanding Shadow ability, managed to break through the encirclement!
In the second round of mounted combat, the most dazzling performance came from Shinso Hitoshi. With just one sentence at the start, he turned everyone in the audience into his puppets. The audience was shocked, and even many professional heroes were trying to find out about this student with the "brainwashing" personality.
After the horseback riding battle, the referee announced halftime at midnight. After the exciting and tense competition in the morning, the students were almost exhausted, and the audience also needed to have lunch.
"Xincao... the other classmates are looking at you strangely..."
During halftime, the students of U.A. High School naturally all went to the cafeteria, and Midoriya and Shinso also came to have lunch, whereupon they were immediately noticed by all the students...
The students present all looked at Shinso Hitoshi with frightening eyes, while Midoriya was very worried about him.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I offended too many people during the horse battle just now."
With his nonchalant attitude, he's determined to make a big splash at the U.A. Sports Meet, and it's impossible for him not to offend others.
"You're pretty good, kid! I actually fell for it right away!"
Carrying his lunch, the student, who looked like a stubborn kid, ran straight up to Shinso and loudly complained, but he didn't mean to blame her; he was simply praising Shinso's strong personality.
"I remember... you were in a team with Tokoyami and the others, a student from Class B?"
Ochako, who was also carrying curry rice, seemed to have a good impression of this stubborn kid. She remembered that Tokoyami's team was short of people, so they asked this classmate from Class B to help make up the numbers.
"I'm Tetsuya from Class B, and my Quirk is 'Ironclad.' Last round, we really owe a debt to Tokoyami-kun; his Quirk is amazing too!"
Tetsuya Tetsuya of Class B has a Quirk that makes his body as hard as steel, similar to Eijiro Kirishima of Class A. However, perhaps due to his steel Quirk, this student is a true iron-headed kid.
However, Tie Zhe seemed to realize that Xin Cao had only come to say hello and then went back to the place where their Class B group was having lunch.
"But speaking of which, Shinso-kun, is it alright for your personality to be so exposed like this?"
Also sitting with Ochako, holding a bowl of udon noodles, Yue Shanyou knew that Shinso, with his triangular eyes, had a strong personality and that once certain conditions were met, others wouldn't be so easily caught off guard in the following matches.
"It's okay. Anyway, according to U.A. High School's tradition, the third match is basically a one-on-one head-on battle for advancement. Even if I hide my Quirk to advance to the second round, people will see through it and be on guard against me."
"Instead of saving it as a trump card, it's better to make a big splash now and at least have a more outstanding performance."
"That's true. Shinso's personality requires language as a medium to respond to him. If the opponent is smart and keeps quiet, just like Todoroki and his friends in the horseback battle, he can't be effective at all. Moreover, in a one-on-one match, 'brainwashing' has almost no advantage without teammates to support it..."
As soon as Shinso finished speaking, Izuku Midoriya became engrossed in thought and began to mutter his analysis. Shinso's approach was not unreasonable; rather than hoping for a better performance in the third match, it would be more effective to dazzle the entire audience in the second match.
"You can't say that. If I were to meet someone, I would be quite confident that I could beat him."
"Oh? Who is it?!"
Seeing Shinso speak so confidently, Midoriya became very curious. Knowing Shinso's Quirk's weakness, how could he still fall for it? Just how stupid is this guy?
"Look, there!"
Following Shinso's finger, Midoriya, Takeyama, and Uraraka all turned their gazes to Bakugo Katsuki, who was eating heartily, seemingly regarding lunch as his mortal enemy.
"........."
Everyone was speechless, as if what Shinso said was true... Bakugo Katsuki's stubborn temper meant he would explode if someone scolded him on the spot; he was a walking powder keg.
After lunch, students have free time. The afternoon competition will officially start at 1:30 p.m., and there will also be an entertainment exhibition match. Students who are going to participate in the third match can choose to participate or rest to conserve their energy.
After finishing his meal, Izuku Midoriya returned to the support department's workshop, where he was making final adjustments to his equipment. He was aiming for the championship in this competition, but his opponents were all formidable, so he had to give it his all!
"Little Midoriya, do you need to wear gloves?"
Similarly, in the support department workshop, although she would personally go to watch Midoriya's games in the afternoon, she was now recording all the new ideas that came to her during the sports meet, and then studying and putting them into practice one by one.
"I won't need it for now, but I'll still carry it with me..."
Izuku Midoriya hesitated at the suggestion made by Akira. His current maximum combat strength required the assistance of gloves, but that was a secret that could not be revealed.
If he were to wear the "Grim Reaper Gloves," his disguise would undoubtedly be recognized. He dared not let anyone know that the "Steel Wire Reaper" was Izuku Midoriya. Putting aside the other troubles that would bring him, Bakugo Katsuki alone would chase after him and try to take him down with him!
"That's fine!"
After adjusting the equipment worn by Izuku Midoriya in the final stage, the most important items are his roller skates, the thrusters on his arms, and the backpack that allows him to accelerate by bursting jets.
Seeing that Midoriya Izuku was all dressed and ready, Hatsume Akira brought up the old topic again, saying to Midoriya:
"So, Little Green Valley, have you thought of a name for your baby yet?"
The name of the roller skates was given to Midoriya because they were specially made for him. However, Midoriya hadn't decided on a name yet. Now that he was about to step onto the most important stage, it was time to name his partner who was fighting alongside him.
"I've made up my mind. Since it was inspired by Air Gear, I'll call it the King of Storms!"
"Not bad names, let's see how you perform, Little Midoriya and King of Storms!"
------------------
The third match this afternoon is a fun and entertaining event held before the finals to keep the audience entertained and give the eliminated students a chance to shine.
Examples include the 100-meter sprint, relay race, dodgeball, and eating contests, etc.
Some energetic contestants, like Kaminari Denki, didn't care about the afternoon's finals and rushed off to play some casual matches, while strong players like Bakugo Katsuki and Todoroki Shoto conserved their energy for the afternoon's finals.
As Izuku Midoriya prepared for the finals, he returned to the stadium and heard someone calling him from the players' tunnel. Turning his head, he saw a thin man waving at him.
"Midori, here! Here!"
"All Might?!"
It was the frail-looking All Might that surprised Izuku Midoriya, but he immediately ran to his idol's side, knowing that All Might must have something important to say to him.
After All Might brought Midoriya to his lounge to make sure no one else could hear, he finally spoke to Midoriya, saying:
"First of all, I want to congratulate you on winning first place in both the qualifiers and the official competition. That's truly outstanding!"
"No, no, no! It's all thanks to my teammates!"
Hearing All Might praise him like that, Midoriya was extremely embarrassed and shy. In the first game, it was only thanks to Yuu and Ochako that he was helped, and in the second game, it was Shinso's VIP performance that he won by doing nothing.
"Don't underestimate yourself. As a hero, having outstanding personal charisma is also part of your strength. If others are willing to help you, it must be because you have something that attracts them!"
"Hmm~"
Hearing All Might say that, Izuku Midoriya found it difficult to argue. What he said was indeed very reasonable. Just like All Might, who is number 1, and Endeavor, who is number 2, the number of people who like All Might far exceeds those who like Endeavor.
Putting aside strength, at least in my opinion, All Might's charm as a hero far surpasses Endeavor's.
"However, the third final is an individual competition. Are you confident?"
"Yes! Full of confidence!!"
Since All Might was asking him with such concern, Izuku Midoriya naturally patted his chest to show his confidence. Anyway, he was wearing the "Death Gauntlet," so if all else failed, he could just pull off some crazy moves.
"It's good that you have confidence. After all, I recommended you to Nighteye, and he said he would follow your performance in the Games."
"Sigh! Will Mr. Nighteye, Allmight's assistant, even be watching my match?!"
"Ah, after all, the hero internship will involve sending you to his place, so it's not a bad thing for him to get to know you beforehand."
The pressure was already immense, and now Midoriya has added another layer to his burden. He needs to perform well in the third final match and show his true strength.
"But All Might, weren't you watching the sports meet for the third-year students?"
"Third grade... There's nothing to watch this year, they were completely crushed by that kid, Million."
"Forehead......."
Izuku Midoriya was somewhat speechless, and All Might was quite troublesome; this year's U.A. High School third-year sports meet was a disaster zone.
Students in the same grade who used to be evenly matched suddenly found that Mirio Togashi was incredibly strong this year, as if he had been possessed by All Might. They were completely outmatched and the championship was practically his.
"Anyway! Thank you, Allmight! I'll do my best in the match!!"
Midoriya thanks his most admired hero, All Might talks to him before the final, clearly to encourage him, and Izuku becomes even more determined to fight.
After the exhibition matches ended, the final and most important match of the U.A. Sports Games began!
"The third final match, the ring match!!"
After the chief referee's midnight announcement, the events for the third final were clear. They were not too different from previous years; they were all one-on-one matches, the kind of elimination tournaments that best demonstrated the strength of the fighters.
