Chapter 82 - Teammates

"The match will last for 15 minutes. Each team's points are determined by its member."

"The rider will wear a headband displaying the total number of points! Until the match ends, you'll all compete to grab each other's points and maintain the ones you have."

"Any headbands you grab must be worn around the neck or higher."

"But the more headbands you've got, the harder they will be to manage!"

"Most importantly, even if your headbands are taken and even if your formation is broken..."

"It's not over until the match is over!"

Midnight explained the rules of this match.

"Who is going to be the rider?" Shinso asked.

"You," Brando answered without hesitation.

"Are you sure? Don't you feel humiliated to have a general student to be on the top of you?" Shinso asked.

"You sure have a bad personality, but you will be useless to become a horse, your power is just too weak, the only advantage that you have is that anyone in this place doesn't have any idea about your Quirk beside me, it's just the right person for the right job, anything goes on as long as we can win," Brando said.

'Useless horse....' Shinso wanted to refute him but his power was weak. He nodded, "Alright, how about the other person? Will it two of us or there are more people?" He didn't think that anyone could beat him with the strongest horse in this event.

"It will be four of us, I've decided which one that will be our teammate, just leave everything to me," Brando said.

Shinso only nodded since he wasn't from a hero department. He didn't know most of the people here and it was better to leave the team formation to him.

---

Everyone started to discuss to each other when they heard the rules of this event.

"That means with 42 contestants there'll be 10 to 12 teams on the field the whole time?"

"How tiresome..."

"So there's no need to panic if your points are temporarily stolen, yeah? But you can't really tell if you're not paying attention to minute-by-minute point breakdown."

Midnight slapped her whip and said, "Quirks are allowed, so it'll be a brutal battle! However, it's still a cavalry battle!!! Maliciously attacking another team with the intent of making them fall will get you a red card! And that means you're out of the game!"

"Also, you've got 15 minutes! Time to form your team!" Midnight said.

"Fifteen minutes?!"

---

"Huh? Cavalry game? Why there is such a normal event?" Ayame felt strange.

"Yes, this is a hero school, why they have such a normal event?" Kanan asked.

"I've felt that the little demon will come out," Yoshiko said.

"There is no little demon here, zura," Hanamaru said.

"Grandpa, can you explain to us?" Chika asked.

Sorahiko nodded, "There are two purposes in this event, the first is a simulation of dog-eat-dog in the society of heroes in the future when they have become a professional hero."

"Becoming a hero is sure hard, zura," Hanamaru said.

"Still, he won't lose to anyone," Dia said with confidence.

"Then what about the other purposes?" You asked.

"That is to work together, the pro hero is often working together with their sidekicks or other pro heroes from a different agency."

"That is the purpose of this event," Sorahiko explained.

They nodded and it was nice to have someone to explain something to them.

---

They only had 15 minutes to choose their teammates the most obvious thing to do was to choose the strongest person.

"Dio! Choose me!"

"No, choose me!"

Everyone from the class A knew that he could transform into a dinosaur and they would be invisible from the attack of anyone. They thought it would be also cool to ride on the top of dinosaur in this battle.

Todoroki and Bakugou wouldn't invite him since both of them had their own pride to become the best. Both of them wanted to create their own team to win this event.

Brando had chosen his teammates, "I'm sorry, but I've chosen someone for my teammates."

"Eh? Who is it?" Mina asked.

"Jiro, Koda, do you want to team up with me?" Brando said.

"Good," Jiro nodded and didn't hesitate to accept his invitation.

"M - Me?!" Koda was shocked and surprised when he heard him wanted to invite him. He would have never thought about it since he didn't think that he could do something for him.

"Yes, you, come with me," Brando nodded.

Koda was too nervous to reject him but also felt curious why he wanted to invite him.

---

"Kaminari, team up with me," Todoroki said.

Kaminari blinked his eyes and nodded, "Alright." He didn't hesitate to accept him since he knew the power of Todoroki.

"Todoroki, can I join you?" Momo asked.

"Yes," Todoroki knew that Yaoyorozu was necessary for his plan.

---

Midoriya became panicked and tried to invite someone but everyone avoided him. He thought for a bit and went to him, "B - Brando! Let's team up!"

"Sorry, I've made my own," Brando said and didn't expect for him to come with him.

"Y - You've created one?" Midoriya saw three people around him. He knew the two of them but he didn't know the last one. He felt curious but he didn't have a time to ask a question.

"You should search as soon as possible, Midoriya or else it would be too late," Brando said.

Midoriya nodded and tried to invite other people but he was rejected until someone came to him.

"Deku-kun, let's team u- WHOA!!!," Uraraka said.

"Uraraka!" Midoriya was crying hard when Uraraka wanted to join him.

Both of them talked for a while and decided to invite Iida.

"Sorry, I want to beat you," Iida said and joined another team.

Midoriya saw that Iida had joined Todoroki, Kaminari, and Yaoyorozu. He didn't expect that Iida wanted to beat him. He had accepted his decision and decided to ask another person.

---

"So who is this?" Jiro asked about Shinso.

"His name is Shinso, he is from the general department," Brando said.

"General department!" Jiro and Koda were surprised when they heard it.

"What?" Shinso was annoyed by their expression.

"Don't underestimate him, there is a reason that I've invited him why I've invited you, I won't be satisfied without become the winner in this game, let's thoroughly destroy everyone here," Brando said with a serious expression.

Three of them who saw his expression knew that it was the right decision to join his team.

"So first, let's get to know each other," Brando said.
