CHAPTER 9

Present Mic ignored him again as he continued talking, " From the way the race began, who would have expected that it'd turn out like this? "

" Now, the first one to enter the stadium is... someone called Midoriya Izuku.! " the crowd cheered as Midoriya's mother, who watched from their house, cried

Kamui Woods looked at his co-worker, " Look... it's the kid from last year... " he said as the both of them ignored Mt. Lady who was getting pictured

" This brat... " Shigaraki muttered his eyes, staring at the computer screen intensely. He then stopped scratching his neck

Midoriya looked around as he saw All Might clapping from the teachers' booth

" This sports festival is an arena where everyone has to elbow their friends and allies to climb to the top. " All Might said to himself, " Nowadays, pro hero means business. No matter what, one has to have the will to overtake others. But you. You want to be the real hero who saves others. That's why I chose you. But I also thought that was your biggest weakness. " All Might clapped again, " Maybe I shouldn't have worried. Sorry! Though you should stop being a cry-baby. "

" Oh, the Management Department. They haven't changed a bit. " All Might muttered as he looked downwards to see three students from the Management Department

" Management Department. They don't gain anything from the sports festival. "

" They hone their business senses instead. They all set up stalls and discuss plans. They have a lot of free time. "

" I lost again. " Bakugo muttered, " Damn it. God damn It. " Bakugo cursed

Kashimo gripped his knees, his eyes wide as he looked at the ground. His eyes shook

"Me? I got 2nd? What the hell is this–?"

" The others are arriving now! " Present Mic announced as Todoroki looked at Midoriya, " We will announce the ranking later. For now, well done, everyone! "

" First-year arena. The first round has ended. " Midnight announced

Kashimo gripped his fist as he looked at his placement.. 2nd place..

" The top 42 will enter the second round. " Midnight announced, " For those who didn't make it, don't worry. " Midnight reassured them

" You still have a chance to shine. " Midnight said as he licked his lips, " Now, it's time for the second round. From now onwards, the media will become more excited. "

" So be motivated. " Midnight raised up her wip as she let it down, " Good, now, the second round. I already know what it is. So what is it then? " Midnight asked no one in particular

She put on her glasses, " Without further ado. Viola. " The screen then stopped on the Cavalry Battle

" Cavalry Battle? I'm not good at this. " Kaminari muttered

" Not a one-on-one battle. " Tsu muttered, " How does it work? "

" Let me explain. " Midnight said as she turned towards the TV

" Participants are free to form a team of two to four. You just need to form a horse. " she glanced towards the students, " The rules are similar to a normal cavalry battle. The only difference is that you will be assigned a score based on your rank from the obstacle race just now. "

" Just like the admission exam, we just need to earn more points. " Sato said, " it's quite easy. "

" So the team scores you will have to differ based on the teammates you pick. " Uraraka wondered out loud as Mina pointed at her
