Reversal

The sudden blitzkrieg of Mineta's team and out-of-the-box strategy dumbfounded everyone, but even so, the event continued.

Unlike before, Bakugou quickly became the center of attention since he was surrounded by everyone. His "Quirk" might be powerful, and he was strong, but being surrounded by many teams also gave him a hard time. The people who could be accepted on the Yueei definitely weren't trash. Even if they weren't as strong as him, they had a special and unique "Quirk."

"Come on, you Extras!"

Bakugou roared, fighting against everyone. Still, he had lost his grin, and all on his face was solemnness since he knew he had to use his everything, or else he would lose!

On the other hand, the Kendo, Ibara, Reiko, and Kodai teams had it easy. The team with a female member of Class 1-A was relatively low. With Uraraka and Momo on his team and Mina on Bakugou's team, they targeted the team with Jiro, Hagakure, and Tsuyu.

However, the most complicated one was Todoroki and Midoriya. As the event started, the two felt their bodies shaken, and their consciousness returned. They quickly realized what had happened, and their expression was filled with anger, especially Todoroki since he didn't expect someone would do something like this to him.

"Bastard! What have you done to me?!"

"Todoroki!" Midoriya was worried that Todoroki might do something stupid.

"You have woken up, huh? Troublesome." The male student scratched his hair lightly, then said, "But what I have done is simple since I have just brainwashed you."

"Bra-Brainwash...?!" Midoriya was shocked and quickly understood what was happening.

If a gaze could kill, this was how Todoroki looked at this moment.

Midoriya also didn't feel good since he was being controlled. He wanted to say something, but h was in a daze when he heard this male student's voice.

"What's wrong? Do you want to stop? If so, then you will fail this event and can't pass to the next event. Do you want that?" The male student asked with a grin. Even if Todoroki and Midoriya seemed angry and annoyed, he didn't care about their anger and answered them calmly with a snicker in his tone.

Hearing his voice, Midoriya and Todoroki were silent and couldn't say anything.

Failing? Impossible!

Either Midoriya or Todoroki had a lot of responsibility on their shoulders.

Midoriya received power from the symbol of peace, so naturally, he had to become the next symbol of peace. If he failed in this place, how could he face All-Might, who had entrusted this power to him?

Todoroki was the same. His father had expected a lot from him, and he was being tortured by him in his childhood, but more importantly, his father also instilled in him an idea to become better than All-Might, and become a number one hero!

'If I lose...?'

What would happen if they lost?

The image of disappointment and other emotions swelled up their hearts like a balloon about to burst, giving them anxiety that they couldn't explain by mere words.

However, was it alright to win like this?

Was it alright for them to pass on the next event while being controlled by this student?

"Come on. We don't have much time. Hurry up."

The male student reminded them once again, and in the end, Todoroki and Midoriya could only bow down under his words, gnashing their teeth from the frustration and incompetence.

As for Aoyama, he didn't care as long as he could pass on the next event.

Still, the male student looked around, wondering who he should target.

While the main characters seemed to be in the middle of their struggle, Mineta had an easy time collecting the headbands of everyone from the team in Class 1-B.

With Iida's speed, no one could chase after them.

His reaction was also fast enough to steal the headbands of everyone they had passed along the path.

While they might not be in the 1st position, their position was firm, standing in the 2nd position.

Still, the one that attracted his attention was the group where Todoroki and Midoriya were located since it seemed that the two of them had regained consciousness. As for Aoyama, honestly, he felt this boy was weird. Among all of his classmates, he had to say that this guy was the weirdest since he was the one that had never gotten close to anyone.

It was a natural thing for a human to gather together.

It was like girls in his class would gather with each other.

The guys were also the same since they gathered around they were familiar with, such as his case with Sero, Tokoyami, Kaminari, Shoji, and many others.

However, Aoyama didn't do that and stayed alone, yet still seemed to talk to others, so he wouldn't appear weird. If he was a loner like Todoroki, Mineta might not overthink, but he felt that this guy was acting.

Mineta had no evidence, but he felt this guy was suspicious.

"Minoru, is it time?" Momo asked since it was only a minute before the event was about to end.

Bakugou was worthy of being one of the strongest in Class 1-A since he could hold on even if he was bombarded by many people. Unfortunately, the ten million point headband was stolen by someone from Class 1-B.

Mineta wasn't sure what this guy's name was, but it didn't really matter.

"Wait up a moment later. Let's wait until the time is almost over."

However, Uraraka had noticed that Momo or Mineta had been calling each other by their first name, and it made her feel weird on her chest.

Mineta ignored that. Instead, he said, "But Iida, be prepared since, at that time, we are going to become the enemy of everyone."

"Don't worry. I still have my secret weapon."

"How reassuring, but is there a downside to this technique?"

"I will be useless after that, though."

"It's okay. We'll support you. You don't need to worry."

Iida smiled and said, "Thanks." He had to say having Mineta as his teammate was the right thing to do.

---

Thirty seconds before the event ended.

"Bastard! Chase them! Chase them!" Bakugou roared.

"Hahaha, we're in the 1st position now! We have beaten Class 1-A!"

This person ignored Bakugou and let his team walk calmly away from the field since it was only 30 seconds before the event ended. He only needed to wait until the end of the event, and his team would win!

Monoma Neito.

That was the name of this person.

Monoma looked at the screen and saw that he was in 1st place. On the 2nd was Mineta, which made him sigh, thinking this guy wasn't easy. In the third position was Kendo, which greatly relieved him since the standing of Class 1-B was stable with them.

Still, unexpectedly, the fourth position was the student from the General Department.

Monoma grinned and felt happy since this meant eight students from Class 1-B were going to pass on the next event, showing that their class was better!

'By then, we'll show everyone that Class 1-B is better!'

"Hey, wait! Hey, wait!"

Bakugou, who was in the 5th position, was in a crisis, and he needed to get his headband back!

"You lot, you really don't know how to give up, huh?"

Monoma sighed as he turned, looking at Bakugou, who was persistent, but then he was dumbfounded when he saw Bakugou suddenly leap in his direction!

"Don't fly on your own, Bakugou!"

"Tsuburaba, guard!" Monoma was dumbfounded.

"Yes!"

Tsuburaba blew air and made an air wall to stop Bakugou.

However, could this thin wall of air stop him?

*Bang! Bang!*

Bakugou kept bombing the airwall and caused it to crack. He grinned and was about to catch the ten million-point headband, but suddenly this headband flew away.

"Eh?" 2x

Not only Bakugou but Monoma was dumbfounded when he saw what had happened.

Ten million points flew back toward Mineta, who was at the edge of the field.

"Thank you for taking care of my headband."

Mineta thanked them before he walked away with his team.

"..." Monoma and Bakugou.

"BASTARD!" Bakugou was full of rage and grabbed Monoma's headband before Sero pulled him with his tape.

"Go! Go! Go! Chase after that slippery bastard! Chase Mineta!" Bakugou roared at Kirishima, Sero, and Mina. "Even if your legs break, chase them!"

"...that guy is really ruthless." Sero sighed at Mineta's trick.

Kirishima and Mina also weren't that much better.

Still, the good thing is that they were in 4th position and still qualified to enter the next event. However, they weren't going to give up and chase after Mineta.

"Chase! Chase them!" Monoma also lost his calm!

---

"Hey! Hey! Hey! Aizawa, your student, is really full of tricks!"

"Un."

Yamada and Aizawa were dumbfounded since neither expected such a smooth operation at the end of the event.

The sudden reversal made everyone open their eyes wide!

The ten million point headband that had been fought by Bakugou and Monoma was taken away by Mineta, who was so far away.

"There are now 10 seconds left! Can someone stop him?! Can someone stop him from getting 1st rank?!"

Yamada screamed with his microphone.

Unfortunately, no one could stop Mineta.

The flashbang that kept bombing everyone one after another stunned them in places where several marbles made by Momo caused many to lose their balance and slip to the ground.

Iida also used his real power to gallop through the arena with his new technique.

"Recipro Burst!"

Uraraka also made their bodies light, so Iida could run without any burden.

Iida was unstoppable, and no one could stop him while listening to Mineta's instructions to take the best course in this field.

Everything became chaotic, but the timer wouldn't stop.

"3! 2! 1!

"TIMES UP!"

As the announcement fell, Mineta raised his fist and welcomed the cheers.
