"This next round, will be a bit tricky for the students as only one student per class will be participating." Mr. Mic told us over the loud system of the  Sports Festival Arena. "This next round will be a herding game of sorts, where a single student will be placed in the arena and have to herd a creature back into it's cage."

"A herding game?" Deku asked, and we all looked around at each other. Only one of us will be going into the next round.

All of us had done well in the first round, and now we were going to be moving more towards the fighting each other, rather than against each other.

"Each class must choose a student to represent the class as a whole." Mr. Mic explained. "However the chosen student will also be rewarded with extra points. Meaning each class has the chance to higher a student towards first place, or guarantee first place for a high enough student. We will give a few minutes for the classes to decide."

Class 1-A then erupted with noise, and that was to be expected. Bakugo was yelling the most saying he should be the one to go, while Todoroki argued that he should be the one to go.

Meanwhile a few of the girls were saying that Uraraka should go, and that it could be easier since she could just touch the creature and float it back to the cage.

"Maybe you could do it." I joked to Tokoyami, and we both laughed a bit. 

"Well what about you?" He asked me.

"What am I going to do, scare it back into the cage?" I joked with him. "That's about all I'd be good for in this situation."

"Oh come on you're not that scary." Tsuyu told me.

"You haven't seen me without my mask." I said, and turned to Shoji. "Right Shoji?" I asked joking with him, and he just gave me an annoyed look. I laughed, before Mr. Mic came back over the loud system.

"Alright students! Hope you're ready with a chosen student!" He yelled, and everyone quieted down.

Well our class didn't, everyone continued arguing while Mr. Mic went through all the other classes. 

"Alright, who will be the fighter for class 1-A?" Mr. Mic asked through the loud system, and the class was still bickering.

"Maybe we should send out the newbie and see what they got." Bakugo commented, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Looks like the fighter for class 1-A will be y/n l/n!" Mr. Mic announced, and it felt as if every organ in my body dropped to the floor.

I slowly turned my head towards Bakugo and everyone was looking at me in shock. Bakugo was covering his mouth and staring wide eyes at the floor. He knew his mistake.

"Mr. Aizawa?" I asked.

"Anything that happens in the next sixty seconds I wasn't here for?" He told me, and I leaped for Bakugo. Shoji grabbed me, and pulled me out of our classes section with me kicking and screaming like a toddler. But I wanted at Bakugo. I wanted to kill him.

Shoji carried me over his shoulder all the way to the waiting room and Tokoyami joined us.

"I'm going to kill him." I said as I sat in my seat waiting for my turn to fight whatever beast they had in mind for us. We were going to be going one by one fighting against the same creature.

"I'm sure it won't be that terrible." Tokoyami said and Dark Shadow tried snuggling with me to make me feel better. But I was not in the mood for cuddles. "All it is, is a round up game."

"All you have to do is get the creature back in the cage." Shoji said.

"I'm sure our class won't be the first ones for this game." Tokoyami said, and I nodded.

"Looks like the first one's up for the Herding game is Class 1-A's y/n l/n!" Mr. Mic called out through the speakers. "Please make your way to the arena!" I dropped my head and groaned. 

"You've-." Shoji started to say, and I put my hand up. I didn't want them jinxing me anymore.

I walked all the way to the arena by myself, fiddling with my fingers the whole way. When I got closer to the entrance I got stopped by Mr. Aizawa.

"You've got this." He told me.

"I don't think I do." I told him.

"But I think you do." He said again and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Once you see the creature, I think you'll see why I have so much faith in you." He winked and walked away back down the tunnel. 

I turned back to the opening and took a deep breath before walking out into the open, and looked around at all the people in the stands. I walked over to the large lifted fighting ring and stood in the center.

"Now remember y/n, you're not restricted to the fighting ring." Mr. Mic said as a section of the ground in the arena opened up and a giant cage was lifted out of the ground. "You can go anywhere in the arena, and all you need to do it get the creature back in it's cage." 

"Oh is that all?" I asked as I stared at the giant creature in the cage. It was a giant ten foot tall spider. "Are you joking?" I yelled, and Midnight hit a button on a remote that she had up in the lifted stand. A giant force field was created between the arena and everyone in the stands.

The force field was created by small posts that were a couple feet apart from each other surrounding the entire edge of the arena. It was to protect everyone else in the stadium. But what was supposed to protect me?

"Ready?" Midnight called.

"Hell no!" I answered her, but she didn't listen.

"Fight!" She then hit another button on her remote, and I turned to see the cages walls drop and the spider rushed me. I quickly shot my web to the side and pulled myself out of the way.

There were large pillars all around the arena and I quickly climbed one getting up in the air and away from the spider. I took some heavy breaths, and watched as the spider was following me up the pillar. I jumped and grabbed onto another pillar, only for it to start crumbling down as the spider tried swinging a leg at me, and it hit the pillar instead.

Before it completely collapsed I jumped to the next pillar and sat at the very top and stood crouched at the top. The spider was down at the base of the pillar, and kicked at the pillar. I gripped onto it tighter as it shook.

This was absolutely terrifying.

There was a giant ass spider, trying to physically attack me. Not just a couple inch long spider, that's a big spider. But those I could handle.

This came straight out of hell, and was literally trying to eat my face off.

Screw Aizawa thinking I had this in the bag, because I'm a spider too. Asshole.
