CHAPTER START---

"The first game is complete!" Midnight announces. "The top 42 competitors will be advancing into the next round! Don't worry if you didn't make the cut, we've got other opportunities later for you to shine!"

Standing with his class Horizon doesn't react, even to all the clearly worried gazes befalling him. Mic's announcement had the desired effect at least, all eyes were on him.

The tension was palpable, everyone wondering how they could beat someone that Warps, but his classmates have been considering this for the past month, results? Inconclusive...

Looking around as the second game was being decided Horizon recognized most of the people who qualified, including everyone from 1B, some of which were not present when he first met them.

'So everyone from the Hero Course got this far...even Deku managed to get 23rd, Aoyama somehow got 42nd, barely making it in...and the purple-haired guy from yesterday got 30th, nothing special I guess...' he concludes.

"In first place of course we've got our resident warping doctor, Horizon!" Midnight announces as his name appears on the board in first place. "But remaining on top takes a lot of skill, especially at UA," she licks her lips lecherously. "And in the next game that'll be even more difficult...CALVARY BATTLE!"

Everyone begins murmuring but she quickly silences them and begins explaining.

"You'll all have fifteen minutes to break into teams of up to 5 people, you've each been assigned a point value based on your ranking in the obstacle race! The points start at 5 points for 42nd place, 10 for 41st, and it keeps increasing by 5 until you get to Bakugo in 2nd place. The point total will be worn above the shoulder on one headband by the rider and will represent the entire team, the teams with the most points at the end of the 15 minutes get into the final stage. And at the very top, the first place holder is worth..." she points at Horizon. "TEN MILLION!"

All eyes once again fell to Horizon, and he immediately raised his hand.

"Yes?" Midnight asks.

"Since I don't need any rag-tag team...I'll be playing solo," Horizon says.

Midnight frowns at that, "well I don't thi---" she stops talking and raises a hand to her earpiece, then she just frowns. "The judges say it's allowed if you can stay off the ground, but are you sure? Allies will play a huge part in this..."

"I'm Horizon," he says. "That's enough."

Midnight gives a vicious smile, "that kind of bold and confident talk is a real turn-on! Horizon will be playing solo!"

The hologram shifts to place 'Horizon-10 Million Points' in the top spot.

"Everyone else, you've got fifteen minutes..."

As everyone is scrambling to make their teams Midnight looks up to where Nezu was sitting, shaking her head, 'you're making your favoritism of this boy too damn obvious Nezu...'

"Looks like Horizon is playing solo folks!" Mic announces. "Let's see what his homeroom teacher has to say about that!"

Eraser sighs and shakes his head, "Horizon has a habit of thinking he doesn't need any help, it showed itself in training and during USJ, fortunately, both times he was enough to overcome anything that was thrown at him, but even if he manages to win this its a horrible habit for any hero to have, because the one time you aren't enough, you'll die..."

"Excellent insight!" Mic cheers on his friend. "But what do you say his chances are of winning this game?"

"If the objective is collecting an item...he'll win," Eraser says flatly. "This is more of a battle for second place, but that doesn't mean everyone else won't be giving it their all."

"Well there you have it folks, unshakable confidence from his homeroom teacher, looks like Eraser Head has a favorite!"

"What! I don't ha---" the mic cuts off as they both begin bickering.

--15 Minutes Later...

All the teams were decided and everyone took their positions.

"Alright, the countdown starts now, one minute to mount up!" Midnight says.

As everyone gets their riders into position Horizon notices all eyes flicker over to him, standing at the far end of the arena.

With his 10 Million point headband around his neck, he turns his back to them and lifts his hand, flicking a finger upward.

TAKT!

A two-meter cube of rock is pulled out of the floor and he steps onto it before it fully rises to float a meter above the ground.

"Telekinesis!" Mic shouts.

"It's not Telekinesis," Horizon says, the mics in the arena transferring his voice across the stadium. "I command the world to move, and it moves, that's all." He raises one hand and summons his cards from his Hero Costume, then swaps one for the chair at his desk and takes a seat, still floating on the cube above the floor.

"Is that even allowed?!" Mic asks.

"It's completely legal!" Midnight says. "Warping items is fine once it's done after the game starts!"

As the viewers and people outside of their class are surprised Present Mic continues talking, "if he can keep that up for fifteen minutes then I guess he could be fine, if he can defend his headband for fifteen minutes that is!"

"I've seen him rip the tops off buildings," Eraser says in a tired voice, "he'll be fine...besides, I doubt anyone will attack him..."

"BEGIN!" Midnight yells, and everyone bursts into action.

All teams rushing each other, explosions and ice flying about, yelling and all types of Quirks being fired left and right, yet nobody even bothered Horizon, leaving him to sit with his 10 Million point headband and play a game on his phone.

After five minutes of intense fighting, still nobody even bothered to go near Horizon, "are they afraid of him?" Mic asks, clearly confused as Horizon just sits there on his phone, floating on the rock.

"It's because they understand," Eraser says. "They know that if they get close he'll just send them to the other side of the arena, and even if they manage to get his headband, they can't stop him from getting it back. He'd warp it back to him before the game is done and get first place, the logical thing to do is focus your energy on headbands that don't threaten his position, that way he ignores you and you get to keep your points..."

"No wonder he's so cocky! With a quirk like that anyone would be!" Mic says, the audience begins muttering at the revelation.

"It's not baseless confidence," Eraser says, and the crowd focuses more on his words than the ongoing fights, excited to hear anything about this new rising star. "At first I assumed he was another arrogant brat who'd either wash out of UA or I'd expel, but every time I see him in action I realize more and more how wrong that assumption was.

He can always back up his talk, and when it's time to really rise to the challenge he crushes the competition. Even when the villains attacked he took on by far the strongest villain while protecting everyone from Kurogiri, he's not all talk and baseless confidence.

And he isn't one of those people born with a godly Quirk and simply using that to get an easy life. Behind everything he says and does is over a decade of relentless training. He's the rarity of someone born at the top with a godly Quirk, yet instilled with a monstrous work ethic, constantly pushing himself over and over to bring out his absolute best self, that's how you become a licensed doctor at 15, that's how you stand up to a villain most Pros can't last seconds again.

Even his classmates have noticed that, his blunt and matter-of-fact way of speaking doesn't push them away anymore, because they know it's just how he truly sees things, the most effective way possible, and that's why they don't even bother to approach him.

Because they know he won't hesitate to show them exactly how far ahead he is, and they understand how far they have to go, it's also what makes that fire in them rage...because when you're sitting in a classroom with someone like that, you either crumble under the pressure, or rise to the challenge."

"Wow! You sure you don't have a favorite?!" Mic asks jokingly as the crowd just stares at Horizon in a new light.

Eraser elbows him in the head, "I don't, and it wouldn't be him of all people, Heroes should at least try to be team players," he says while glaring down at Horizon, sitting comfortably in his chair and playing his game while everyone else is fighting, giving their all.

---1 Minute Remaining...

Sitting comfortable and finishing up another race on his phone, Horizon sighs loudly and reaches out to his side with his right hand, grabbing Jiro's Earphone Jacks.

All the cameras turn to them as she tries and fails to pull them out of his grip.

"Someone finally attacked Horizon!" Mic announces, causing all the teams to spare just a glance in his direction.

"What are you trying to do here?" He swivels around in his chair to look at Jiro. Her as the front horse with Sato and Koda at the back, Toru completely naked on their shoulders, no headband, zero points.

"Uh," Jiro chuckles, nervous and scared. "Desperate times and all that..."

"I see," Horizon rests down his phone, noticing all cameras facing him, "I don't have a massive power output like Kaminari, but," he sparks up some blue electricity in his left hand, inching it closer to her Earphone Jacks. "My control is a lot better..."

"WAIT NONONONONONON!" Jiro screams.

"Counter Schock."

"ARRRGHHH!" Her entire team screams as they collapse to the floor, completely unconscious.

"He can use electricity too!" Mic screams, riling up the crowd.

Across the arena Kaminari pouts, "c'mon man...I've only got the one thing and you had to steal it..."

"TIME IS UP!" Midnight yells, ending the game.

"In first place, no surprise here, Horizon!" Mic announces, the massive screens replaying the moment he fried Jiro's team before showing him still sitting casually in his chair.

"In second place, team Bakugo! In third place is team Monoma! Class 1B came out to represent! In fourth, we've got team Todoroki, followed by team Midoriya barely edging out team Shinso for fifth place. 16 people from these teams will be going onto the tournament stage...but first...a 1-hour lunch break!" Mic announces.

After sorting out who gets to compete from the bottom teams, and some people opting out, all the names immediately appear on the board, already lined up in their brackets for the tournament.

---Tounament Round 1...

Horizon VS Monoma

Shiso VS Sero

Midoriya VS Todoroki

Hatsume VS Kaminari

Awase VS Bakugo

Iida VS Kirishima

Tokoyami VS Uraraka

Momo VS Juzo

Looking up at the board Horizon immediately begins walking away toward the cafeteria, seeing Jiro and her team being carted off to Recovery Girl in the distance.

'Monoma...I saw him copy Juzo's Quirk earlier... looked like he needed to touch the person, this could be interesting...'

"Horizon," Monoma says, causing Horizon to look over at him as he approaches. "Hey, I'm Monoma, guess you and I are up first huh," he falls into step walking to the cafeteria.

"Looks like it, so I'm guessing you're trying to figure out what Quirks you can copy from your friends to use against me, right?"

Monoma chuckles, "naturally, I need to prepare before the battle, we can't all have built-in power like you. But Tetsutetsu told me you're pretty cool, well, he said 'super manly,' but it's the same thing, I hope we have a good match."

"Sure, I hope to learn a lot from it..." Horizon says as they enter the cafeteria, going their separate ways until the gruesome and bloody match begins.

Monoma doesn't hate class 1B because when everyone was at the door to 1A Horizon didn't leave a bad impression, in canon Bakugo treated them badly and that's where it started :)

Predictions for the matchups?

CHAPTER START---

"Twelve million and counting," Horizon says while scrolling on his phone. Looking at the picture he just took and posted outside the stadium. He, Death Arms, Kamui Woods, and Mt. Lady. "I've already got more followers than those three put together...they really don't know how to work the sheep," he mutters.

"And now for the first match!" Midnight announces.

His head snaps up and away from his phone, quickly putting it in his pocket.

Standing in the dark tunnel leading into the arena he sees the now constructed cement stage built by Cementoss. The crowd is going crazy as the first round of the 1-vs-1 tournament begins.

"Let's start big, with...1A's Class Rep, already showing that he's a prodigy even among all our genius aspiring heroes, Horizon!"

Horizon steps out of the tunnel, full PE Uniform on, the shirt unbuttoned for everyone to see the body glove on his chest, his logo in blue atop the white fabric, just barely distracting people from how the fabric clings to his chiseled body and exposes his muscles. The same symbol is in black across the back of his PE Uniform for the competition to see.

He takes his time walking up to the stage as Midnight announces Monoma, stirring the crowd into a smaller but still absurd wave of chaos.

Eventually both students are standing opposite each other on the stage, looking around to see all eyes on them. One-on-one Horizon's size shows, standing 20cm -8in- taller than Monoma, the much thinner and lankier blonde contrasting greatly to Horizon's now bulkier build, still lean but muscles clearly making themselves known through his uniform.

"Are both of you ready?" Midnight asks.

Monoma nods.

"Actually," Horizon speaks up, surprising everyone. "Since your Quirk is Copy I'm sure you've prepared something for me, but I'm curious, would you like to copy my Quirk?"

"You would let me just, copy your Quirk? Just like that?" Monoma asks skeptically.

"I'm curious about what happens if a regular person tries it, since it is the most powerful Quirk in the world," Horizon shrugs as everyone just stares in surprise, never expecting such a blatant and seemingly outlandish boast.

"Well, if you insist," Monoma smiles sinisterly. "Since you're the main character here I'm sure I can use that power to win this match..."

Horizon chuckles and pulls up the sleeve on his left hand, separating the glove and sleeve of his body glove to expose the inner forearm of his left hand, where there were no tattoos, gesturing for Monoma to make contact.

The audience is at the edge of their seat to see what happens.

Monoma raises a brow at the sight of Horizon's watch. "You brought a Rolex to a battle? That seems rather careless..."

"Oh please, the USJ Nomu couldn't even hit me, how would any of you ever manage to break it?"

Monoma narrows his eyes at him and reaches out, touching Horizon's skin with his fingers.

Horizon feels a tingling at the back of his mind and shrugs it off.

"That's odd," Monoma says. "I felt it, but...it didn't let me Copy it."

"I rejected your Quirk, I just wanted to see if I could."

"You re---"

"For real this time," Horizon once again presents his arm, "no tricks."

Monoma looks equal parts annoyed and impressed, but can't pass up the chance to become the main character for a short while. Without hesitation he reaches out, and immediately feels his entire body tingling as the Quirk manifests within him.

Monoma shakes his head a bit and stumbles back, a wide smile on his face as he giggles like a madman.

"You ok?" Horizon asks, slight concern in his voice as he and Midnight watch Monoma begin to hop in place.

"I feel great. Like I could run a marathon. It's like a sugar rush. Is this how you always feel? It's incredible. What does your Quirk do anyway? Man this is great. Everything is all tingly." Monoma breaks out in another fit of giggles.

"Oh no," Horizon says, earning concerned looks from Midnight and the audience. "Ok Monoma, listen very carefully to me," he raises his hands gently to keep Monoma calm. "You need to cancel Copy on my Quirk, and no matter what, don't try to activate it, alright?"

Midnight immediately walks over to Horizon, ready to rip her costume to sedate Monoma.

Monoma looks confused, then with all the energy in his body, his fight or flight response kicks into overdrive, "why would I do that? This is a trick isn't it? You don't want me to win! But I can feel it, I can win, this feels great," he raises a hand and swings it at Horizon, "warp away!"

"Oh crap... I didn't think his body would react like this," Horizon says, and everyone hears through Midnight's mic.

"Like what?" she asks, now seeing Monoma frozen in place, blood quickly flowing from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. "Monoma!"

"It's fine...kinda," Horizon says, holding her back from rushing forward and approaching Monoma. "It's just my Quirk."

The entire arena is deathly silent as the scene unfolds.

Monoma collapses into Horizon's arms and he gently places him on the ground, immediately summoning his healing energy into his palm and placing it on the unconscious Monoma's head.

"Your Quirk?"

"He tried to activate it, so it started killing him," Horizon says. "My Quirk requires the user to essentially be superhuman in terms of how much energy is in your body and how much information your brain can process. His body tried to rapidly increase the energy capacity within it, hence the sugar rush, and his brain tried to expand, tearing itself apart, hence the bleeding.

But that isn't enough for my Quirk. You also need to be able to comprehend what you process...meaning he literally wasn't smart enough to sort and apply the sudden influx of information my Quirk caused, his body tried to adapt by ripping energy away from anything that wasn't his brain to force more growth."

"It tried to make his organs fail," Midnight mutters out in shock and horror. "What kind of Quirk does such a thing, how is that even possible?"

"My Quirk ignored the safeguards that Copy has built into it, I didn't even think he'd be able to copy my Quirk, figured it'd be a dud. He's a lot better than I thought. But he just isn't built like me, to handle this kind of situation..."

"Superhuman," Midnight says, recalling what Horizon just said. "Will he be ok?"

Horizon takes his hand away from Monoma, standing as the medical robots bring a stretcher into the arena, "he just needs some drips and sleep, he'll be fine in a few hours, but I doubt he'd remember any of this," he shrugs.

As the robots load Monoma onto the stretcher and haul him away only Horizon and Midnight are left in the arena, "that's some Quirk you've got there..." she says awkwardly, trying to get the atmosphere back in a good mood.

"Yeah, but it's not meant for regular humans, anyway I guess this means I win, right?"

Midnight nods, "Horizon moves on to the next round!"

The crowd goes wild once again, as if they didn't see a teenager almost die in front of them.

"Didn't even have to throw a punch or get him out of bounds... pretty easy."

Midnight rolls her eyes, "try not to do things like that to all your opponents please, you're not supposed to kill your opponent, you're training to be a hero remember," she warns him.

"Hey, I didn't know that would happen."

"Which is the only reason you aren't disqualified, but don't pull a stunt like that again," she glares at him.

"Gotcha," he says before walking off the stage.

Making his way back to his class's seats he sees Momo wave for him to sit with her and Jiro.

"So you always put people in the infirmary?" Jiro asks with a bit of edge to her voice as he sits on the other side of Momo. "I just got out of there after you tried to fry my brain and now Monoma's in there for pretty much the same reason."

"Hey you attacked me, and as for him, it's not my fault he isn't built to handle my power, but it's not surprising, mortals and divinity have a terrible track record when they meet..."
