"The top 42 made it through to the next round. It's unfortunate, but don't worry even if you didn't make it! We've prepared other chances for you to shine. The real competition begins next! The press cavalry'll be all over it! Give it your all!"

The screen came out again, "Now then, here is the second game. I already know what it is, but what could it be? I just said it, and now here it is..." The spinner stopped on... Cavalry Battle. "Let me explain. The participants can form teams of two to four people as they wish. It's basically the same as a regular cavalry battle, but the one thing that's different is... based on the results of the last game, each person has been assigned a point value." Midnight explained.

Point value? Then--

"In other words, each team is worth different points depending on who's on the team!" Uraraka interjected.

"You guys don't hold back even though I'm talking, huh?!" Midnight yelled, "Yes, that's right! And the points assigned go up by five starting from the bottom. So 42nd place gets five points and 41st place gets ten points! And the point value assigned to first place is... ten million!"

Ten million?! Ten million... Ten million! With Midoriya having ten million points then I'm sure everybody will surely target him. On third thought, I'm glad I'm not in first place. Good job me!

"That's right. It's survival of the fittest, with a chance for those at the bottom to overthrow the top!" Everybody was staring at Midoriya. They all had devilish smirks, looking like they were ready to steal that ten million points. Of course, you wanted to steal his points too but you preferred to act friendly. Poor Midoriya.

"Now then, I will explain the rules of the cavalry battle. The time limit is fifteen minutes. Each team is worth the total of its members' points, and the rider will wear a headband with that number on their foreheads. Teams will try to grab each other's headbands until time runs out, and try to keep as many points as they can. Stolen headbands must be worn from the neck up. So the more you steal, the harder it'll be to manage them! And the most important thing is that even if your headband gets stolen, or if your team falls, you're not out!" Midnight explained.

"Which means..."

"...since there are 42 people, there will be ten or twelve teams on the field the whole time?"

"That's tough."

"One strategy could be to let someone take your points first so you'll be more free."

"It's hard to say without seeing how all the points end up getting split up, Mina."

"During the game, it'll be a cruel fight where you can use your quirks. But it is still a cavalry battle. You'll get a red card for attacks that are trying to make people fall on purpose! You'll be removed immediately! Now, you have fifteen minutes to build your teams. Start!" Midnight continued. People began rambling once the fifteen minutes have started.
