My Avatar is the Heroine

"The first-place team, being relentlessly pursued, and Class A classmates constantly launching fierce attacks are indeed strong contenders. So… how many points does each team have currently? The rankings after seven minutes of the race will now be displayed on the big screen."

Under Mic's passionate commentary, the audience and media gazed at the big screen with admiration.

Then… everyone froze.

"Oh my, what's going on? Has Class A, except for Midoriya's team and Su Lin's team, been almost completely wiped out?"

The race instantly became intriguing.

They then realized that Neito Monoma had actually snatched points from Bakugo.

At the same time, Denki Kaminari's indiscriminate electric shock, combined with Todoroki's ice, instantly froze most of the teams to the ground.

As a thick ice wall rose, Todoroki's team isolated everyone else, leaving themselves to hunt down Midoriya's team alone.

"It seems we've been forgotten," Tsuyu Asui said thoughtfully, tapping her chin.

With that, only 3 teams from Class A remained with the ability to act.

"This is interesting. To be ignored like this, they must have forgotten who the most troublesome one is," Yukino revealed an excited smile.

"Su Lin-chan, are you going to…"

"Of course! Watch me snatch the 10 million point headband!"

Within the area surrounded by ice.

The audience's focus was entirely here, and so was Mic's commentary.

"10 million points, 10 million points! Midoriya's team has been dodging and weaving in this cramped space for a full five minutes, it's unbelievable."

The audience cheered enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, Shoto Todoroki's expression was grave.

Their clever positioning, the obstruction from Ojiro's terrifying giant tail, and the fact that every time Denki Kaminari unleashed his electricity, Midoriya's team used Ochaco Uraraka's Zero Gravity to leap into the air, all these actions minimized the damage from the shocks to the greatest extent.

The two sides had fallen into a stalemate that Todoroki least wanted.

"Everyone," seeing that things were not going well, Tenya Iida hesitated for a moment before making up his mind and slowly crouching down. "There's less than a minute left. After using this move, I won't be able to move at all. I'll leave the rest to you."

"Iida?" Todoroki was slightly surprised.

"Grab on tight, I'm going to make a move, Todoroki-kun." Tenya Iida was extremely serious, the red flames from his leg engines' exhaust instantly turning a dazzling blue-white.

"Piston Engine…"

Whoosh—

The sudden acceleration made those on his back feel an unparalleled G-force simultaneously.

"Explosive Rush!"

The moment the four words were uttered, Tenya Iida had already shot past Midoriya's team. And Todoroki's hand instantly snatched the 10 million point headband.

First place changed hands!

"What just happened? That was too fast! Iida has this kind of super acceleration? It was an instant reversal! Todoroki's team became the ultimate winner." Mic's voice began to crack.

The outcome was almost decided, but…

The moment the headband was snatched, Todoroki's expression froze.

"How… is this possible?"

He had almost grasped the 10 million point headband in that instant, but… his hand was empty.

"Underestimating me won't do, you guys actually forgot about me?"

In that fleeting moment of crossing paths, Yukino appeared as if teleporting out of nowhere and, at the critical juncture, snatched the 10 million points.

Then…

Whoosh—

Tenya Iida's engines propelled Todoroki's team past, widening the distance between them.

"What? No, no, it wasn't Todoroki. That was too fast! The first place is Su Lin's team! What just happened? I couldn't see anything, that girl Su Lin transformed into suddenly appeared there?"

Even Mic was completely bewildered.

Some of the heroes in the venue perked up.

Because they had indeed noticed that Su Lin had not only sent out a female avatar but had also teleported to the scene.

At this moment, the instant Yukino snatched the target points, she bent her legs and bounced backward like a wild cat, attempting to create distance from Midoriya's team.

But things weren't that simple.

"We can't let her take it."

Ochaco Uraraka unleashed her full strength, using Zero Gravity to lift her entire team and charge towards Yukino.

Seemingly inspired by the team's momentum, Izuku Midoriya also let out a roar, his entire arm… erupting with the glow of ONE.FOR.ALL.

"Su Lin, I'm sorry, but I have to take first place."

Here it comes—

Yukino turned her head and, in an instant, saw Midoriya rushing towards her.

ONE.FOR.ALL swiped to the side, kicking up a gust of wind that threw Yukino off balance. Before she could even secure her headband, it flew towards the opponent's head.

"ROAR~~" The audience erupted in cheers.

"First place!"

Midoriya's expression contorted to the extreme; the obsession in that moment seemed infectious.

So close!

"Tch!"

To everyone's surprise, just as Midoriya was about to grab the headband, another snow-white hand, appearing out of nowhere... gently grasped the target at the last possible second.

"Midoriya-kun, did you think... I only had one avatar?"

Sister Doma, who had flickered into existence, snatched the points under the pressure of ONE.FOR.ALL. At this moment, Katsuki Bakugo roared as he approached from the sky, extending his arm and striking fiercely at Sister Doma.

"Damn it, this headband is mine."

Seeing the headband about to be snatched by Bakugo, Yukino, having lost her balance, flickered once more, appearing behind Sister Doma and, at the last moment, took Sister Doma's hand.

"Success!"

Without much hesitation, with several consecutive leaps, Yukino traversed the ice at an unbelievable speed and returned to Su Lin's main body.

"Time's up, the match... is over!"

Bakugo's hand, outstretched in the air, froze, and Izuku Midoriya's expression was completely stunned.

"Lost?"

0 points.

However... Ojiro's hand reached out at that moment and placed a headband around Midoriya's neck.

"Just now, at the last second, I took one from Bakugo... while he wasn't paying attention."

Chapter 40: Tokoyami and Tsuyu's Inquiry

"Deku!!!!"

Upon discovering one less headband around his neck, Bakugo's face stretched incredibly long, comparable to Endeavor's durian-like expression.

"Ahhh, Kacchan, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me!" Midoriya waved his hands, retreating in panic.

"So, even though Ojiro did it, why is Bakugo staring at Midoriya?"

Yukino scratched her head in confusion.

"Kero~~~ It's probably manly friendship, but Yukino-chan is amazing, actually getting first place." Tsuyu Asui happily hugged Yukino's thigh and nuzzled against it.

"Hey, hey, don't do that, it's sensitive." Yukino's face immediately turned crimson as she broke free from Tsuyu's embrace and jumped off the "horse."

One had to admit, Yukino had found some good teammates.

Both in character and strength, Fumikage Tokoyami was an exceptionally outstanding individual. As for Koji Koda, this introverted guy easily overlooked in Class A, don't be fooled by his honest appearance; he was incredibly reliable and made almost no mistakes in team coordination.

And Tsuyu Asui, with her clear mind and cute appearance, was definitely an asset to the team.

"Thinking about it, I used two summons of Yukino and one of Sister Doma to snatch the headbands."

This could be considered revealing some of her trump cards.

"TIME UP, the second event, the cavalry battle, has finally concluded. Let's see the top four teams."

"First place, Su Lin's team!"

As Mic shouted, the enthusiastic audience shifted their attention to the four individuals on the field.

Yukino Yukinoshita (Su Lin), Fumikage Tokoyami, Tsuyu Asui, Koji Koda...

Due to their final performance, everyone generously offered their applause.

"Overall, to secure first place from several teams' clutches, it was mainly thanks to Su Lin," Fumikage Tokoyami stated truthfully.

"After all, her Quirk is too unfair," Tsuyu-chan said with deep feeling.

From the outside, one couldn't see what was happening inside the ice mountain, only relying on sound to roughly pinpoint the target's location. Then, by dispelling and summoning avatars, she appeared out of nowhere between the two competing teams through the ice created by Todoroki, and at the critical moment, grasped the headband.

Such judgment was impossible for a normal person. But the mind within Yukino's body was too clear, and she managed to achieve it.

"Second place, Todoroki's team!"

As the second place was announced, Shoto Todoroki, Momo Yaoyorozu, Tenya Iida, and Denki Kaminari, who wore a "strong" expression due to the side effects of his Quirk, naturally attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, that guy Denki Kaminari, does he turn into an idiot after using his Quirk?"

"It seems so."

"So dumb, hahaha! Like the stupid pigs I keep at home."

"Third place, Bakugo's team!"

Mina Ashido, Eijiro Kirishima, and Sero looked satisfied, but Bakugo let out a roar of... impotent rage.

"Fourth place... Midoriya's team!"

Izuku Midoriya, Mei Hatsume, Ochaco Uraraka, and Ojiro.

As expected, these four teams advanced.

"So where's Shinso?"

Yukino scanned the crowd, her gaze finally landing on the ordinary student standing in the corner with a displeased expression.

Because Ojiro had grabbed a higher point strip at the last moment, Hitoshi Shinso had dropped to fifth place.

"Well, he doesn't look too good."

This competition might have been the only chance for that guy to show what he could do. After all, possessing a mind-controlling Quirk, yet being relegated to the general education track due to being looked down upon, he probably had some grievances.

Despite his terrible experiences growing up, Shinso had still held onto his desire to become a hero, rather than becoming radicalized or hateful towards society. Just that alone earned Yukino's respect.

"Alright, the four groups of students mentioned above will advance to the final event." Mic raised his microphone, announcing the end of the morning's competition. "Everybody, we'll now take an hour-long lunch break, and then we'll proceed with the afternoon matches. You're dismissed!"

The spectators at the venue left one after another, preparing to head off for lunch.

Yukino, along with Fumikage Tokoyami and Tsuyu Asui, headed to the school cafeteria.

However, while they were eating, they ran into Mineta.

"Aaaah, I'm so jealous, so jealous of you all. Su Lin's legs are amazing, her inner thighs are so white, her skirt looks so good, I'm so jealous, aaaah!"
