Chapter 43

David looked backed and was shocked a little " Momo are you sure about this? You are already ranked 4th in the race and everyone will be aiming for me"

"I know that but I also know that they won't be able to defeat you. The only request I have is to let me attack them. If I can't then you can interfere." Momo said while fiddling her toes.

"That's too much risk for no reason. I'll create a shield around us if someone is able to enter it then you take action. Now make your choice" David said knowing that she hadn't left Momo much choice.

'She wants to become independent but wants to be in my team to ensure her victory. Chuck, I'll just take her in my team and she will lose in 1v1 matches just like in the canon' David thought and agreed to get Momo on his team.

After that David and Momo were looking for the 3rd member and after a few minutes he found Tokoyami and approached him.

"Do you want to join my team?" David said and Tokoyami felt a little odd as he had never spoken to David before.

"Do you think I will be a good addition?"

"Ya your dark shadow can mess up their moments if utilized properly and If you prove to be useful I'll tell you a way to increase your overall strength" Tokoyami widened his eyes after hearing that.

'I am having a hard time controlling dark shadow and even my combat strength isn't equal to my classmates and I am far too weak to even compare myself to David, Todoroki, and Bakugo.'

Tokoyami agreed immediately and now he and David were standing at the base while Momo was sitting on their shoulder. David saw Deku had teamed up with Uraraka and Mei from the support Class just like in the canon.

"Now that all the teams are ready for the cavalry battle let's start this match" Present mic shouted.

David had told Tokoyami to use dark shadow to either take other team's bands or just interfere in their moments when they least expect it. He knew that Bakugo will rush wildly and Todoroki is a one-trick pony while Deku will try to sneak up when I am busy with Bakugo.

"Start" Midnight shouted and Bakugo rushed towards David.

"Give me that band of yours" Bakugo shouted but stop near the air shield that David had created around him. He attacked the shield with his quirk a couple of times but the shield would just deform for a few seconds and then gain its shape as before.

"Get out of this you COWARD" Bakugo shouted and even Todoroki sent ice towards the shield. David threw an air punch towards the ice and crushed it easily but what happened next was completely unexpected by him.

Todoroki used his fire on the shield and seeing that Endeveour started cheering loudly from the seats "Now that my son...hahaha".

The staff of UA had their interests perked suddenly as they knew Todoroki refused to use his fire side.

"Seems like the last fight against David forced Todoroki to use his fire" Toshinori said.

David quickly regained his composure as he expected some changes from the canon but this change caught him off-guard.

"Momo...Can you handle it?" David asked

"Yup...leave it to me" She said while she threw some fire extinguishing bombs.

"Tokoyami you keep an eye on Deku. He will try to be over smart now" David said and Tokoyami summoned dark shadow from his stomach.

'I don't want to use aura in front of the crowd as it brings curious people to irritate me'

David sent an air punch towards Bakugo which pushed him back a little so Bakugo started hunting other teams. Todoroki was preparing another attack but then Momo threw a sticky bomb towards him and his teammates. His team avoided most of the sticky substance but some of it got on Todoroki. He burned it instantly and sent a huge amount of fire towards David's team.

'So much heat will definitely weaken the shield and that will be my time to swoop intake the band' Deku was plotting and as the fire reached the shield and it started looking wobbly Deku rushed towards the shield and flicked his finger towards the shield to send a gust of wind towards it to create a path.

"Now that's a good plan that Izuku Midoriya is using" Midnight said

"But he forgot one crucial thing" Aizawa said which confused the spectators as well.

"And what is that?"

"David can also use fire" Aizawa said and suddenly the spectators could see purple and blue fire which was swallowing Todoroki's fire easily and Deku with his teammates had become a sandwich between both.

Todoroki had his eyes widened as this was the first time he had seen David's fire. Bakugo also stopped his fight and looked at the huge fire swallowing everything in its path. Even though they both had fire and explosion quirk they could still feel the heat emanating from it.

'This isn't some normal fire its way hot than mine' Todoroki thought. After David stopped his fire the spectators were able to see team Deku.

Mei had used two shields to cover her, Uraraka and half of Deku. Till the stomach part, Deku was fine but above that, the shield could not cover so he had to rely on using his quirk to create air blasts with his fingers. He didn't have many burns on his body but 8 of his fingers were broken as a backlash of his quirk. Luckily he was able to save his band from burning.

'Dammit, I had never taken into account that David will use fire. I have to practice more" While Deku was in his train of thoughts dark shadow attacked Deku's team which made them back away.

After a few seconds David was back to his usual self and the air barrier surrounding them. Tokoyami did steal a few bands but David told him to throw them on the ground on the opposite side of the ground.

"Throw them a little far so it keeps them busy until the end of this battle" David said and that's what happened.

Everyone was busy fighting for the thrown bands that no one attacked David's team.

"STOP" Present mic shouted.

"The cavalry battle is over now let's watch the rankings" Midnight said.
