Chapter 79 - The promise isn't over

"Oh! Midoriya is a surprising boy! He has become the first place in this event!"

"But the most exciting thing is both Brando and Yaoyozoru! The last two dead suddenly become the 2nd and 3rd place in this event!"

"Then we have both Todoroki and Bakugou who have reached the 4th and 5th in respectively!"

Brando heard the announcement of the Present Mic. He had to admit that Midoriya was amazing, especially the part when he used the explosion to beat both Todoroki and Bakugou. He felt that Midoriya's resolved earlier and couldn't help but praise him.

"Thank you, Dio," Momo said with a sigh. She wasn't sure whether she should be happy with this way of winning. She couldn't show her true power earlier with him.

Brando looked at her and said, "Momo, you're smart and your Quirk is very powerful, I can wait to have a match with you in the next event."

Momo suddenly looked at him with a surprised expression, "You want to have a match with me?" She would have never thought about it and thought that he thought that she was weak.

"Of course, you've entered the recommendation with me, there is no way that you're weak, in the next event, it will be a battle of a team, I've decided my team and you will show me the strength of your team," Brando said. He knew that Momo had a lot of potential with her Quirk and it was a very nice Quirk in his opinion. He was wondering whether she could create an Iron Man's armor with her Quirk.

Momo smiled, "Yes, I'll beat you."

"I can't wait for that," Brando smiled.

"DIO, YOU BASTARD!!!"

Bakugou suddenly jumped toward him angrily and grabbed the collar of his uniform.

"Stop it, bastard! Don't grab my collar!" Brando threw him away.

Bakugou didn't fall down but looked at him with a grin, "Next time, it'll be my win!"

"You should say that to Midoriya though, I'm not the winner of this event," Brando said and felt a bit regretful.

Bakogou suddenly felt angry when he heard that name, "Don't you mention him! He only gets lucky!"

Momo, who saw him, couldn't help but sighed, "I wonder when he won't be angry."

"That's not going to happen, Quirk is also going to affect the personality of the person, his Quirk is an explosion, it'll be weird for someone like that to be quiet," Brando said.

"Then what about you? Your Quirk is a dinosaur," Momo asked.

Brando smiled and said, "There are a lot of kind dinosaurs too but I might become wild on another occasion."

"Oh, what occasion?" Momo asked curiously.

"It's a secret, you better search for a teammate first, I'm sure Torodoki will be the perfect candidate," Brando said.

Momo thought for a bit and nodded, "What about you? Who are your teammates?"

"I'm not sure about the number of teammates, but I've decided to get someone from the general department," Brando said.

"General department? Not in the hero department?" Momo was shocked when she heard it.

"Don't underestimate that guy but he needs to enter 42 qualifications before he can become part of my team, and I hope that he doesn't disappoint me," Brando said.

"Is it a girl or a boy?" Momo suddenly asked with a strange tone.

Brando thought that it was his imagination and answered, "It's a boy."

Momo, who heard it, couldn't help but sighed in relief, "Oh, that's right!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Brando asked.

"You still haven't completed your promise with me," Momo said.

"Huh?" Brando raised his eyebrow.

"You've promised to let me ride you right?" Momo said.

Brando nodded in response.

"But you're holding me earlier, that doesn't count as a ride, right?" Momo smiled.

"....." Brando was speechless. He felt that she used her smart brain for something useless in his opinion. He sighed and said, "Alright, let's do that at another time."

Momo smiled at him in response.

In the audience seat, everyone saw him win 2nd place in this event but they couldn't be happy since they saw him holding someone but they heard someone screaming by their side.

"DIO! YOU WIN! CONGRATS!!!"

They saw a woman who had short brown hair shouting excitedly when she saw the result.

Sorahiko also turned and saw someone familiar. He squinted his eyes and said, "Kagurazaka?"

The woman turned and was surprised, "Sorahiko-san! Are you here?"

"Of course," Sorahiko nodded.

"Oh, let me sit there," Kagurazaka moved beside them, "Hello."

"Hello," Chika and everyone greeted them.

"I'm Dio's cousin, Kagurazaka Ayame, nice to meet you," Kagurazaka introduced.

"Cousin?" Sorahiko felt confused.

Kagurazaka grabbed him and said, "He wants to keep his identity as a mangaka a secret."

Sorahiko understood and nodded, "That's right, she is his cousin."

"Hello everyone," Kagurazaka smiled and asked, "Who are you guys?"

"Hello, we're his friends," Kanan bowed introduced herself.

Everyone also followed the same introduction to her.

"Ho? Friends? Not more than friends?" Kagurazaka said while wiggling her pinky. She didn't really care whether he had one or ten girlfriends outside as long as his manga was sold. She felt regret that she couldn't announce that his manga was drawn by him. She was sure that when the world knew that the one who drew it was the future hero his manga would become a big hit.

They couldn't help but blush at this woman's words. They talked for a while and continued to watch the event.

"He sure has a lot of female friends, zura," Hanamaru said.

Everyone who heard Hanamaru couldn't help but nodded at her. They wanted to ask him a lot of question but it wouldn't be late after that and now they decided to enjoy watching this event.
