Chapter 40 - The Second Event (1/2)

”This... not good for me...”

The Cavalry Battle, the Second Event of the Sports Festival.

The 42 students who had made it through the First Event would be paired into multiple groups of 4 (with two groups of 3 students, or 1 group of 2), based on their own decisions. The students could team up with anyone that they wanted to, and they form horses, for one person to ride on them and wear a headband. The headband would have a point total on it, and considering the places you placed in the first event. Those totals would be added up, and the rider would wear that total. The goal was to take the headbands of other students, and add their totals to your own.

Naruto's point value... was 10,000,000.

Basically, nobody wanted to team up with him, purely because they wanted to target him and take his points.

”Hey Naruto, want to team up?”

”Hey Toru, sure... You want to be the rider?” Naruto didn't think the girl would be able to support his body weight easily, unless the other person or people that joined them was pretty strong. Not to mention, if she stripped nȧkėd, then that put them at a pretty good advantage if she was the rider. Stealing other's headbands, and making it harder for somebody to steal their own. He wasn't sure how to ask her, naturally, but it wasn't like anyone would see her nȧkėd.

”I'm surprised you haven't teamed up with Kirishima or Mina, but sure, I'll ride you!” Toru exclaimed brightly.

Naruto hummed.

Mina and Kirishima had been taken by somebody else before they could join up with him. Izuku wanted to face off against him, the same with most of the others he believed he could count on. Shoji had teamed up with Tsuyu and a boy from Class B, Mineta or something, which didn't leave him with a bunch of people to go with. He was NOT about to team up with Class B, which didn't leave him a lot to work with. Not to mention he had seen Mei around, and he didn't want to team with her.

”Is there room open for one more?” The classy voice called to them.

”Yaomomo!” Toru welcomed Momo to their group with her nickname.

”Didn't Todoroki try and recruit you?” Naruto asked as he looked over at Todoroki, and saw that he had switched out Momo for another person. He looked over at Naruto, and the two of them locked eyes. Naruto ignored him though and looked over at Izuku, and then at Bakugo who had Mina and Kirishima.

Momo smiled.

”We're forbidden from being on a team together in class because it's unfair, so being with you right now gives me the best chance of winning.” Momo stated, since all she would have to do is make sure the points Naruto added to the team were safe. They didn't even need to go after other teams, they just needed to keep a firm hold on their own points for everything to work out well. ”Hagakure, are you okay with being nȧkėd as the rider?” Momo asked it for Naruto, since she had her own ideas on what she wanted to do to make sure they won.

Naruto raised an eyebrow, curious.

-10 Minutes Later-

”This looks stupid, and it's kind of embarrassing too.”

”This is the best possible formation.” Momo stated as she placed her hands at Naruto's waist, standing behind him as she did. Toru was sitting buŧŧ nȧkėd on Naruto's shoulders, so all of the strain of holding her would fall to him, since he was more than capable of handling it. If she just held onto Naruto in same way, their horse formation was considered complete, and she could have full access to her Quirk as well. She had unzipped her gym uniform so that her bra was visible, not really caring about such a minor level of exposure. With all of her stomach exposed, she would be able to use her Quirk a lot better than before.

The only thing that even made Toru visible was the fact she had 15 headbands wrapped around her forehead and neck, 14 of which were fake, and had the word ”Fake” hidden on the inside of them. Momo had created a lot of copies of their group headband, so that they could drastically lower the chances of anyone being comfortable stealing it from them. Since nobody would know when Toru was reaching for their headband, and they had no clue of when they were reaching for the correct headband as well. Just approaching them alone was highly dangerous, with their ”Naruto Tank” being they could ram into other horses with no fear, and their ”Momo Support” allowing them to create items that could counteract almost any other Quirk.

”Why am I not wearing a shirt?” Naruto asked, since he too, wasn't wearing a shirt. His Quirk wasn't helped by him being nude like Momo and Toru, who could only really use their Quirks to their best ability while nearly nude or nȧkėd.

...

”Fanservice, I'm nȧkėd, and Yaomomo's bȯȯbs cute bra is visible, so we have to balance it out for the girls in the audience! It's only fair!” Toru shouted out as she beat him over the head playfully.

”Intimidation, you're not a small person, so showing your muscles can be a form of intimidation.” Momo reasoned it a little better.

GO!

”You're ours!”

Momo and Naruto jumped backwards as Toru stole the headband from one of the teams from Class B, and Momo put her right hand on her stomach, and she hid what she created. Tossed it to the ground in between them, Toru covered Naruto's heads as he closed his eyes. A blinding light and resounding sound filled the immediate area around them, and Momo and Naruto escaped in the confusion. Opening his eyes, Naruto started to run towards one of the other teams that was nearby.

”Ah!”

They then ran by 2 more teams and did the same time, blinding and deafening them, before stealing their headbands in the blink of an eye and escaping. They didn't stop running around either, as Naruto and Momo were athletic, and had the stamina to always stay moving around without fear of exhaustion.

”I'm coming for you Naruto!”
