Midnight states that the 42 students at the top have earned the right to advance while the other students have failed. She announces the second event of the Sports Festival: The Human Cavalry Battle. The top 42 students each form a team of 2 to 4 for this event and earn points by grabbing headbands from the other teams. The number of points each student's headband is worth is dependent on their placement in the Obstacle Race, and Izuku, having placed 1st will have a headband worth 10 million points. Giving the chance for even the last ranking student to reach the top.
