I, without any personality, become a hero!

After the others gradually arrived at the finish line, quite some time had passed. The final preliminary results were: Izuku Midoriya in first place, Shoto Todoroki in second, and Katsuki Bakugo in third...

The first-place winner's overwhelming strength impressed all the spectators. The U.A. Sports Meet will continue, and this time it will be the official competition, with the goal of eliminating most of the contestants to select those who will enter the finals.

"Although it is a bit of a pity, the students who were eliminated should not be discouraged. The school has prepared other stages for everyone to showcase themselves."

"Next up is the official competition!"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the head referee announced the second official competition event at midnight:

"Horseback combat!"

The rules are as follows:

Participants can freely form "horses" in groups of 2 to 4. The basic rules are similar to those of a regular horse battle, except that each participating student will be given points corresponding to their ranking in the previous event. The total points of the students forming the warhorse will be worn on the "rider's" head.

The competition lasts for a total of fifteen minutes. It's okay if the bandana representing the score is stolen, as long as you can grab enough points before the competition ends. You can use your "personality" during the competition, but malicious attacks on others are prohibited.

In addition, the points representing the rankings are as follows: the last place, ranked 42nd, is worth 5 points, and each place higher in the rankings adds 5 points, with 41st place being worth 10 points. However... the first place, represented by Izuku Midoriya, is worth... 1000 million points!

Upon hearing this outrageous score, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Izuku Midoriya. The boy who became the target of everyone's anger returned the gaze with unwavering determination. Izuku Midoriya had already mentally prepared himself for this U.A. Sports Meet.

The second match was about to begin. After explaining all the rules, the head referee asked the contestants to form their own teams. They only had 15 minutes to prepare, and everything would be completed within half an hour.

"Although I knew about the preliminary rounds, I didn't expect that I would become everyone's target in the horse riding battle."

"No problem! I knew I'd encounter this situation when I worked for you. Let's show you what we're capable of."

"Hehehe, they also happen to have a lot of things to show the audience."

The first two people to gather around Izuku Midoriya were Shinso Hitoshi and Hatsume Akira. The iron triangle in Akaya Kaiun's office was even stronger than the friendship between classmates. Right now, Midoriya's most reliable teammates were the two of them.

"If a team of four can be formed for mounted combat, then having another person would be more advantageous for us."

"that....."

Just as Izuku Midoriya was pondering who to find to form a partner, Ochako Uraraka cautiously approached him and asked:

"Midori-kun, do you need any more teammates?"

"Li Ri...would you like to team up with us?"

"Hmm... because I feel that you are very reliable, Midoriya-kun, and my intuition tells me that joining your team would give me a great chance of success."

"Oh? You should know that others don't think so. Right now, we're in first place, and in the upcoming horse battle, we'll become everyone's target."

"But Midoriya-kun, you weren't scared either, so I believe in you!"

Seeing Ochako Uraraka encouraging him, Izuku Midoriya decided not to refuse her. Four people would be better than three. Now it was time to consider how to make the best arrangements.

------------

The mounted battle officially began, with Izuku Midoriya's position as rider supported by three people: Akira Hatame on the left, Ochako Uraraka on the right, and Shinso Hitoshi serving as the vanguard... In addition.

"Transform!"

"Standing By"

"Complete"

"What!?"

Bakugo Katsuki and Todoroki Shoto were shocked by what they saw. They had targeted Midoriya Izuku as their primary target for this horseback battle. However, the person who transformed into "Kamen Rider Faiz" was not Midoriya, but Shinso Hitoshi.

"Giving equipment to teammates isn't considered a foul, so what will other teams do?"

Compared to Izuku Midoriya's physique, which he had trained for a while, Shinso's physical condition was really very weak. However, it was unrealistic to let him take on the position of "Knight," as Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki, and the other teams were now eyeing the number one spot.

Perhaps using the "brainwashing" quirk could easily overcome this hurdle, but Izuku Midoriya rejected the suggestion from the outset.

"The U.A. Games are more than just a victory for me. I'm going to show those guys... make them come after me!"

Giving the FAIZ belt to Shinso is not very useful in this team battle, even if Izuku Midoriya transforms into a Kamen Rider. In this mounted battle, the speed and strength of one person cannot determine the outcome. It is better to give it to Shinso, the vanguard, to increase mobility.

Shinso Hitoshi's transformation into Kamen Rider Faiz at the beginning shocked everyone. Asahi had already distributed the equipment and items she would use, and Uraraka Ochako also used her "Quirk" to reduce the team's weight to a certain extent.

"bring it on!"

"Game start!"

Holding a ball in his right hand, Izuku Midoriya was ready. The mounted battle began with the referee Midnight-sensei firing the flare.

"Useless!"

"Green Valley!"

The first two teams that attacked Midoriya Izuku in the first instant were Bakugo Katsuki and Todoroki Shoto. Their only target was Midoriya Izuku, who was number one. Even though they knew that the people in front of them were bluffing, they still attacked. They would never give up the number one position to anyone else.

"Go, Wrecking Ball!"

He threw the ball in his hand, but it drew an unnatural arc in mid-air and hit Bakugo Katsuki and Todoroki Shoto in one fell swoop. The impact was not strong enough to cause any damage, but it almost disrupted the formation of the warhorses and forced them to retreat.

"What is that!?"

"Just hearing that name sends chills down my spine. Could it be that Midoriya has come up with some dangerous thing again?"

Clutching his chest where he had just been hit, Bakugo Katsumi looked puzzled and hesitant, while Kirishima, carrying him, said with lingering concern, "This student has already developed a psychological trauma from the first obstacle course."

"That thing..."

Shoto Todoroki saw that the sphere that had fallen to the ground did not stop moving, but rolled to the feet of Midoriya's team as if controlled by someone, and then bounced directly back into Izuku Midoriya's hand.

"A smaller version of the Wrecking Ball, while having limited destructive power, is very useful."

"......"

The people were speechless for a moment, not expecting that Izuku Midoriya would have this thing in his possession. However, it's not surprising that a smaller version of the "Wrecking Ball" would appear on the field, since it's his creation. Fortunately, it wasn't the 1:1 version that appeared on the field, otherwise, no one would be able to play.

"Midori, hand over first place!"

"You guys from Class A, I haven't forgotten the grudge from the entrance exam!"

"Go! They only have one team, let's settle scores and grab points!"

........

It seems that the entrance exam had drawn too much hatred. After Mike exposed his true identity at the first obstacle in the preliminaries, Izuku Midoriya was naturally antagonized by all the teams in the official competition, and all the teams rushed towards him on the spot.

Seeing this good opportunity, Bakugo Katsuki and Todoroki Shoto's two teams also prepared to go up together. Midoriya Izuku's equipment was not capable of repelling so many teams at the same time.

"Get ready to go to heaven."

Izuku Midoriya, who gave the order, raised the "Wrecking Ball" high and then slammed it to the ground. Under Akaya-sensei's feedback during the entrance exam, Midoriya had made many improvements to the ball, and the miniature "Wrecking Ball" in his hand was the improved version.

Izuku Midoriya flung the ball in his hand to the ground, and the self-destruct program built into the "Wrecking Ball" was activated, causing it to explode!

The miniature "Wrecking Ball" explosion wasn't very powerful, but like Katsuki Bakugo's "Quirk," it produced dense smoke. Although the other rushing squads weren't affected by the blast, the dense smoke obscured their vision, making it impossible for them to find Midoriya's squad.

"What about people?"

The shadowy figure, Tokiwa, searched the smoke and found nothing. Meanwhile, Bakugo Katsu, who had subconsciously thought of something, looked up and saw where the missing Midoriya team was.

"You bastard, Deku, you really ran pretty high!"

"The rules don't say anything about not going into the air, and Teacher Midnight didn't say anything either, right?"

With the addition of Uraraka Ochako, her "zero-gravity" personality made it easier to coordinate with the team's performance. When this girl reduced the weight of the entire team to just one person, the jetpack worn by Akira Hatsume came in handy. After learning the technology from Kaiu Akaya for a period of time, the jetpack's energy was enough to keep a person airborne for half an hour.

The purpose of making the "Wrecking Ball" explode and generate smoke is to obscure the view. If it doesn't fly to a high enough position, it will still be touched by the ice of the blasting scorch. After the smoke rises to a certain level in a short time, Midoriya's team completely breaks away from the encirclement and attack of other teams.

"Are you sure you want to keep chasing me? Maybe I have something else I haven't revealed yet, or are you already prepared for elimination?!"

"this......"

Upon hearing Izuku Midoriya's words, the expressions of the various teams that had gathered to besiege Midoriya's team immediately changed. Even if some teams still aimed for first place, the others might not think the same way. Whether they came in first or not didn't matter if they made it to the finals.

The next moment, the teams were fighting each other for the headbands and points, and Izuku Midoriya said that the plan was working.

Not everyone present, but the vast majority of people were definitely focused on themselves. So, Izuku Midoriya simply gathered everyone together and escaped to the sky. Once they reached a height that no other team could reach, he used words to provoke them.

Indeed, compared to the troublesome and unreliable action of continuing to try to seize first place, it is more practical to directly steal points from other teams.

"Dekisugi, you bastard!"

Even though Bakugo Katsuki's target is still Midoriya Izuku, the fact that all the teams are now concentrated in one place means that just because he doesn't want to fight doesn't mean the other teams don't see him as a target. Two teams from Class B are already charging towards Bakugo, and standing still and taking a beating isn't in Bakugo's nature.

"Were we tricked...?"

By using "Freeze" to seal off the ground, Shoto Todoroki's team could easily escape from the encirclement of other teams and see that Midoriya and his group were flying at a height that was inaccessible by normal means. Todoroki could only catch Midoriya and his group by using Extreme Freeze to create an iceberg, but in doing so, Todoroki's "Quirk" would also reach its limit.

"Todoroki, Midoriya is very strong. Even though he's 'Quirkless,' I think he's stronger than all of us."

"You still have the 'Flame' Quirk you haven't used, right?"

"If you don't use your full strength, I don't think you can defeat Midoriya-kun."

As for Iida Tenya, he teamed up with Todoroki Shoto to play the forward position. As the class representative, he had a certain understanding of everyone in the class. Although he didn't know why Todoroki was unwilling to use his "Burning" Quirk, Iida, being an honest person, still spoke his mind on the spot.

"I....."

Filled with inner struggle and hesitation, Shoto Todoroki wanted to defeat Izuku Midoriya... but he couldn't accept using his father Endeavor's "Quirk".

"Change your objective and go steal the bandanas from other teams."

"Sigh... okay."

Although Todoroki Shoto was still unwilling to use his full strength, his decision did not receive any opposition from the others. After all, to defeat Midoriya Izuku... to be honest, Iida Tenya didn't really have much confidence in Todoroki.

"It seems we don't need to use our secret weapon."

"Hmm... but this thing won't work after you use it now."

Izuku Midoriya's conversation with Shinso left Ochako Uraraka completely bewildered. Of course, the secret weapon of Midoriya's team was actually Shinso's "brainwashing" quirk. Anyone who didn't know would definitely fall for it... but after using this trick, basically no one would fall for it anymore. Midoriya still wanted to save Shinso's quirk for the finals to use himself.

"Izuku Midoriya... Even Shoto wouldn't challenge him. Is he someone All Might values?"

At this moment, Endeavor in the audience stared intently at Midoriya, after all, the obsession of this perennial No. 2 hero could not be explained in a few words.

Chapter 30 U.A. High School: Midday Conversation

"Watch out, they're catching up!"

Bakugo's team emerged from the chaos of battle. Bakugo Katsumi was still holding two score bandanas in his hands, which he had snatched from the two teams that were attacking him with his excellent skills. Although the situation was now more favorable for Bakugo's team.

But the two teams that lost points won't let it go so easily. In horseback riding competitions, you won't be disqualified for losing your headband within 15 minutes. The competition is a never-ending battle until the time is up.

At Kirishima Eijiro's startled cry, the two teams launched a desperate attack. Their score bandanas had already been stolen, so they had nothing left to worry about; now was the time for a full-scale counterattack.

"It can't be repaired! It can't be repaired!"

The fact that Bakugo Katsuki's "explosive" personality cannot be used means that it is actually difficult to make use of. If he uses too much force, it will hurt others, but a small explosion will not hurt or itch.

There was no way to get rid of the two teams that were relentlessly pursuing Bakugo and Katsuki. Although Bakugo's primary goal was still the number one spot floating in the sky, he had no intention of giving away the points he had already earned. Just as the conflict was about to clash.

"move."

"Two-faced?"

The two teams chasing them were frozen in place by the ice path and could not move. Hearing the voice coming from beside him, Bakugo Katsuhiro looked at Todoroki Shoto in astonishment. What did this guy mean?

"We can't be careless when dealing with Midoriya. Do you have enough points? I don't intend to be eliminated in the second match. You guys go first."

"You bastard... Todoroki Shoto, thanks a lot!"

No longer using strange nicknames to address each other, Bakugo Katsuki smiled knowingly, realizing that having reliable teammates when facing strong opponents is not bad.

From their initial rivalry during their entrance exams, both Katsuki Bakugo and Shoto Todoroki couldn't help but see Izuku Midoriya as their target. During the U.A. Sports Meet, the two even cooperated seamlessly. The fact that these two proud individuals could set aside their stubbornness and join forces speaks volumes about the pressure Izuku Midoriya brought to them.

Instead of going toe-to-toe with Izuku Midoriya in the second match, Shoto Todoroki chose a smarter approach: first, to plunder points from other teams to ensure his own advancement, and then help Katsuhiro Bakugo and the others escape the battle to deal with their primary target.

"Target, that bastard above me!"

"Understood, everything is ready."

Having escaped the main force's fighting range, Bakugo Katsuya was now fixated on Midoriya's team, which was floating high in the sky, while Sero Hanta in the team had already prepared to cooperate using his "tape" quirk.

"Hmm? Watch out below!"

Izuku Midoriya, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation at the venue, immediately alerted the crowd upon seeing the unexpected turn of events. Shinso Hitoshi, who had transformed into "Kamen Rider Faiz," also reacted directly.

Restrained by Sero Hanta's "tape", Bakugo Katsu used the explosion to propel himself into the sky, directly attacking Midoriya Izuku.

Although Ochako Uraraka reduced the weight of the four-person team to that of a single person, it was impossible for them to move freely using jetpacks. At this stage, being able to stay airborne was already their limit. Unable to evade Katsuki Bakugo's attacks, Shinsoto, as the vanguard, stepped in to fight back.

"Get off the top spot!"

"Sorry, this is the only one we have, and we won't give it to anyone else."
