Cavalry Battle (2)

Toru Hagakure kept hitting Jilan Jiyu's heads, shouting in a fit of anger, "Jilan, why did you run away? Don't you believe me? I will definitely help you snatch the headscarf from that side!"

To prevent the warhorses from separating, Jilan Jiyu had Ibara Shiozaki tie their hands together with Vines. When he turned to run away, the two behind him were pulled along and could only run with him.

Jilan rolled her eyes. "Didn't you hear what I said before? It's unwise to fight Tetsutetsu and his team head-on. Do you think your hands are harder than his?"

"Besides, even if you manage to get his bandana, it's only been less than three minutes. Do you expect them to chase you like mad dogs until the end of the match?"

Jiro also said, "Although I don't agree, Jilan is right. We should conserve our strength for now and reap the rewards towards the end."

Toru Hagakure lay sprawled on Jilan's head like a salted fish, saying weakly, "I understand, but... it's so embarrassing to just run away like this!"

This statement has too many flaws, leaving the two speechless. First, Toru Hagakure, you have no reason to lose face. Second, you're already shirtless, what's there to be ashamed of!

Speaking of being naked, what was that thing that was just on her head? Jilan forced herself not to think about it.

"Speaking of which... why are they running away too?" Toru Hagakure suddenly asked.

On the other side, Tetsutetsu roared, "Honenuki, why did you run away? The rider on the other side is just a little girl who can turn Invisibility; she can't do any damage at all!"

Honenuki was still running non-stop until he reached a spot where no one was within a few meters. He stopped, caught his breath, and said, "I don't think it's advisable for us to clash with Jilan's team right now."

Tetsutetsu, confused, said, "Isn't it because Shiozaki is in their team? As long as our team advances, Shiozaki will definitely forgive us!"

Shiozaki's matter isn't important; it's because of Jilan Jiyu... Honenuki doesn't know how to explain it.

In Honenuki's mind, Jilan was already considered one of the most dangerous people to mess with. Just now, when their eyes met, his teeth suddenly started chattering, and by the time he realized it, he had chosen to run away...

He took a deep breath and said, "Tetsutetsu, I think it's like this. The rider on the other side can Invisibility. If you take her headscarf now, her body will be Invisibility afterwards, and we will be at a disadvantage."

Tetsutetsu wavered. "That's true..."

It seemed the excuse he had just come up with was working. Honenuki continued, "I think we should focus on grabbing the headbands from the rest of Class A now, and then grab the ones from Jilan's team near the end. That way, we can prevent them from retaliating, and we can also see their desperate reaction when they fall from grace at the last minute. After all, it only takes you a moment to grab their headbands, right, Tetsutetsu?"

"Their exasperated look..." Tetsutetsu chuckled, imagining Jilan's expression, and clenched his fist confidently, saying, "Great idea! Honenuki, as expected of a top student! Although I can't wait to see their expressions, I'll mercifully let them stay a little longer!"

The boy standing next to Tetsutetsu, supporting him, was named Yosetsu Awase. He suddenly said, "Speaking of which, why is that guy from the regular class still here? And he seems to be doing pretty well..."

Tetsutetsu turned his head and saw that the guy named Hitoshi Shinso now had two headscarves on his head and was now looking at him.

"Am I next? This guy's got guts!" Tetsutetsu grinned maliciously. "We can't touch Jilan yet, but using you as a guinea pig won't be a problem... Honenuki!"

Juzo Honenuki turned his horse around. Although he was very wary of Jilan, he did not hesitate to deal with a guy from the General Studies Course. He obeyed Tetsutetsu's order and charged towards him!

Midoriya pressed the button on his jetpack and landed smoothly. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "What a wonderful invention, Mei Hatsume -kun!"

"Of course, I have a lot of confidence in my darlings!" Mei Hatsume chuckled. "Midoriya- kun, that cool move just now will definitely get me noticed by some support companies, right!"

"Hahaha..." Midoriya laughed awkwardly, unsure how to respond.

The reason why Mei Hatsume chose to join Midoriya's team is simple: to use Midoriya's popularity as number one to gain attention for herself. While helping him, she also wants the support company to take notice of her invention. Therefore, in her view, Midoriya's situation of being surrounded is not a crisis, but a fantastic stage to showcase her abilities!

After Midoriya broke free of the encirclement, some squads abandoned their target and instead set their sights on the squads ranked second to fourth. Therefore, Midoriya and his group can now breathe a little easier.

But soon...!

"Hahaha! Midoriya, surrender now, and your 10 million is mine!"

"That's Mineta- kun's voice, but where is he?" Midoriya heard Grape's arrogant laughter, but only saw Mezo Shoji from behind, and he was momentarily shaken.

"Deku! Hand over your headscarf right now!" Kirishima, carrying Bakugo, charged towards them from in front of Midoriya, shouting Bakugo.

"Midoriya, what do we do?" Seeing their side surrounded by enemies, Fumikage Tokoyami, beneath Midoriya, calmly asked, "It's time to make a choice."

Midoriya looked at Bakugo and gritted his teeth, saying, "Let's get out of here using the jetpack!"

A burst of flames Jet from the backpack, and the group, who had expected to rise quickly, instead felt immense resistance. Uraraka turned her head and cried out, "My levitation shoes are stuck to the Grape!"

Both Uraraka and Mei Hatsume were wearing enormous shoes, which were hover shoes developed by Mei Hatsume. These shoes could generate a repulsive force with the ground during rapid landing, allowing their bodies to maintain balance and land safely.

"Midoriya, ko ko da yo (Here you are)?" Minoru Mineta's face, gleaming with a sinister smile, emerged from the darkness behind the Shoji. "Didn't expect that, did you!? This time, we are the hunters, and you are the prey!"

A long tongue emerged from the shell made of Dupli-Arms by Mezo Shoji, stabbing towards Midoriya's headband. Midoriya nimbly dodged it, but the tongue continued its momentum towards Bakugo!

"Tsk, a frog?" Bakugo clicked his tongue in annoyance, flicking it away with his hand and shouting, "Hey frog, if you stick your tongue out at me again, I won't hesitate to burn it to a crisp!"

"Bakugo- kun, what you're saying is quite frightening." Asui's head popped out from opposite Minoru Mineta, and although he said he was afraid, he still maintained a calm demeanor.

"So you were hiding inside, Shoji- kun, you're something else!" Midoriya said without hesitation. "Sorry, Mei Hatsume, we need to get out of here at full speed!"

"Oh! My darling!" Amidst Akira's Mei Hatsume cry, Uraraka's boot sole snapped in two, and Midoriya's team soared into the air!
