Everyone wasted no time assembling their battle strategy. A team of 4? Soon enough, several people had gathered around Todoroki and Bakugo to team up with them. But, oddly, no one seemed interested in joining Galadriel. However, she understood why. She is the main target.

Come to think of it, Galadriel didn't see the point of trying to get a point. To win, she only had to run away for 15 minutes. Not really caring who would be teammates, Galadriel first asked Ashido if she wanted to be on his team, but Pinky told her that she had to show her strength.

She wanted to win on her own and Galadriel respected that. Still, she had to find a team quickly. But preferably, with someone she could trust enough to follow her lead.

Galadriel saw no one wanting to join her. Fortunately, she can see Midoriya and the girl who vomits a lot talking in front of her. Midoriya seemed happy that someone could join him. So following that, Galadriel approached them both. She didn't know much about this girl. She just knew her name was Ochako and knew part of her Quirk. But she seemed to get along well with Midoriya. So she was going to trust his judgement.

"Midoriya," Galadriel called him.

"Nazarick-san? " He said, confused.

"Uraraka, it looks like you two are together," Galadriel said, not realizing how badly worded it was.

"Together?!" Both exclaimed, blushing.

Galadriel didn't understand why they were acting like this, but she ignored it.

"Yeah, you know… Like on a team," Galadriel replied.

"Ah, well yes! That… We are a team. " Uraraka said nervously.

"Don't you have a team, Nazarick-san?" Midoriya asked.

"No, nobody wants to be with me. They're looking to take my points, so it's not right to team up with the target of the challenge I guess," Galadriel said.

"I see… You can join us. " Uraraka said, surprising Galadriel. "Just like I told Midoriya, I prefer to team up with people I'm friends with!" she said.

"I see, thank you, Uraraka," Galadriel whispered.

" She considers me her friend? "

"Still, we need another person," Midoriya said, looking around. "Preferably someone with significant physical power, like Shoji-san or Sato-san, or..."

Finally, he rushed to Tenya.

"Ida-san? Do you want to join our team?"

"Team up with you?" the boy repeated.

"Yes! If we can combine your speed, with Uraraka-san and Nazarick-san's power of flight, we can come up with an excellent escape strategy."

"I understand." Tenya affirmed. "Nevertheless, I must refuse."

Looking at Midoriya, as well as Galadriel, he confessed.

"Since the beginning of the school year, I have had the goal of reaching the first time but ... it is obvious that many people also have this goal and I found myself behind you! If I want you get ahead, I must not fight with you but against you."

Then he left, while affirming.

"Todokoki-san and Bakugo-san aren't the only ones who consider you their rivals! I wish you luck and hope you reach the next test."

"Missed." Galadriel stated simply, seeing him leave. "Does anyone have another idea?"

"And why not team up with Mugiwara-san?" Ochako asked.

"Bad idea." Galadriel retorted. "With the first, second and third in the same team, we can be sure that everyone will chase us non-stop throughout the event! Are you sure we can survive this? "

"Huh…not really."

But in truth, that wasn't the real reason Galadriel had for refusing Luffy. In fact, she just wanted there to be someone dumb enough to tackle them throughout the whole ordeal, while she had guessed that he had no strategic mind.

"Who to choose?" Midoriya asked.

"A team of 4?" Usopp repeated.

Immediately, he rushed towards Luffy.

"Lucky! With Luffy's strength and my high level in strategy, I'm already sure to be in the top 16."

However, stopping, he suddenly began to notice.

"But... just now I managed to place 9th, without anyone's help! And it's just a high school tournament... do I really need of Luffy to win this round?"

"Shoji... no girl wants to be with me."

"Huh?" Usopp wondered, stopping to see Mineta crying, as he begged the tall boy to take him with him.

"Take me on your team."

"Sorry, but I don't think our Quirks are compatible." Shoji retorted, starting to walk away.

"PLEASE!" I'm too small to be able to carry someone and my power won't do me much good as a rider! You, you are big and you will be able to use your power to completely cover me. "

"Completely?" the boy repeated, pausing.

Immediately, he began to think, while noticing that a strategy could be put in place.

"Sobering." The boy affirmed, crossing his arms. "Nevertheless, between the two of us, we won't get far."

"Ribbit...you want to use Mineta's small size to camouflage him and create attacks, don't you?"

"Huh?" The two boys wondered, seeing Asui walking towards them.

"If you want, I can make myself useful."

And to prove it, she showed her long tongue which could be perfect for stealing other people's blindfolds.

"Perfect." Shoji affirmed. "My power to protect us, Mineta's to block others, and yours to take the blindfolds! However, another person is needed."

"Huh...I can make a proposal."

The trio turned to see Usopp behind them.

"Can you read about Mugiwara?"

"If you wish, I would like to be on your team." Usopp affirmed, pointing at himself. "With my sniper skills, I could repel any danger before it could arrive."

"Why do you want to be with us?" Shoji questioned him. "And Monkey D.-san?"

"I wanted to be with him but... for once, I feel like winning without anyone being able to say that I won with Luffy's help."

"Hey, no way." Mineta retorted, pointing at him. "You don't even have a Quirk! All you do is use your slingshot. No question of having you with us. "

"Huh...is that a deal breaker?"

Immediately, he saw Shoji's hand and Asui's tongue hit Mineta's head, knocking him to the ground. Then, looking around, Shoji affirmed.

"Teams are forming fast! Soon we won't have any other choice."

Looking at Usopp, he finally affirms.

"It's true that your techniques will be able to repel attacks like those of Bakugo! However, I want you to be honest! You don't want to be on our team to make us lose in order to give Mugiwara a chance to win, is not it ? "

"Hey, who do you think I am?" Usopp asked. "I don't want to make a fool of myself in front of everyone! Besides, the one who would be the most angry knowing that would be Luffy! He might even quit the competition if he knew his win was undeserved."

" What I would like to know is how you managed to participate, ribbit. " Said Asui. "Which of you is capable of making someone younger?"

"Huh…sorry but it's a secret." Usopp asserted, forcing himself not to glance in Galadriel's direction.

Staring at him Shoji and Asui remained silent before staring at each other. Then, finally they made their decision.

" It's OK. "

Then, they started to leave, while Asui's blade wrapped around Mineta's leg in order to pull him.

"Let's go a little further to agree on our positions."

"Huh…just one more thing! I just wanted to know…is it ok for you to team up with a guy who doesn't have any Quirks or other powers?"

Surprised by his answer, Shoji and Asui turned to him, while displaying sheepish looks.

"Ribbit...it's not that it's disturbing..."

"It's just…it's weird." Shoji stated, not wanting to be offended.

"O…Okay, I see." Usopp said, trying to hide his frustration.

" In the end, this world may be even worse than mine! In my world, the distribution of power is the opposite! You could say that only 20% of the world's population has a force that is above that of an ordinary civilian! As a result, being a powerless person is very common! But here, those who have no Quirk are really cast aside. "

Clutching the handle of his slingshot, Usopp asserted.

"Weak people...they can also become strong."

"WHAT ARE YOUR TOOLS?"

Screaming in fear, Usopp fell on his butt, while a girl suddenly appeared in front of his face. being certain that his heart had stopped beating, he looked at the pink-haired girl who had just appeared, and who was staring at him in fascination.

"Who...Who are you?"

"My name is Mei Hatsume! And I've become a huge fan of your tools."

"My tools?"

Extending her smile, Mei put her hand on her abdomen, as she affirmed.

"If we team up together, I'm sure the victory will be ours."

"Sorry, but he's already with us." Shoji affirmed.

"And there are four of us." Asui chimed in, pointing to Mineta.

Despite this news, Mei shook her finger, while retorting.

"When I was talking about winning, I wasn't thinking about winning this tournament! In fact, I know for a fact that I have no chance! All I want is to show everyone my inventions."

Then, she pointed her finger at Usopp.

"Do you want to win this tournament? In that case, I will help you."

" But why ? "

"Do you know exactly what is a...sponsor ?"

Walking through the stadium, Luffy already saw several people forming groups of four.

"Hey, why doesn't anyone want to team up with me?"

Then, feeling like everyone was watching him, like a precious object, he rubbed his cheeks, wondering.

"I have something on my face? Everyone is looking at me strangely."

In truth, what people looked at was Luffy's headband. Even if he had only come second, stealing his headband would mean securing victory. Luffy was therefore a privileged target, like Galadriel.

Unaware of this, he kept walking, until someone called him.

"Mugiwara..."

" Huh ? "

Walking towards him, a boy with purple hair gave him a smile, while asking him.

"Do you want to team up with me?"

Quickly, Midoriya spotted Usopp's group, as there seemed to be five of them talking together. Then, he saw that Bakugo teamed up with Kirishima, Ashido and Sero, while Kaminari, Momo and Ida had joined Todoroki.

"There's hardly anyone left in our class." Midoriya remarked. "And I don't know the powers of the other contestants! What to do? We need a last horseman! But who to choose? Who to choose?"

Suddenly, widening his gaze, he ends up walking towards a particular person, before stopping in front of him.

"Tokoyami... do you want to join us?"

Seeming to be alone and just waiting to join the last incomplete team, the raven boy opened his eyes, before looking at Midoriya. Then he just shook his head.

" It's OK. "

"GREAT!" Ochako rejoiced. "But in fact, who will be the person we have to carry?"

Without hesitation, Midoriya pointed his finger at Galadriel.

"It will be Nazarick-san."

"Huh?" Wondered Galadriel, who was genuinely surprised.

"I thought he was going to choose himself."

"Get ready everyone, the challenge is about to begin," Midnight said.

"Now raise your battle cries and fire the signal." She announced, readying the signal.

Galadriel felt weird getting up. She's never played this before. Not even in his old world. It's something new for her. With Midoriya and Uraraka holding each of his legs and Tokoyami being in front. She is sure it will be an easy match.

"Hope I'm not too heavy, boys." Galadriel said with a smirk.

Tokoyami made a simple ''tssss'', while Midoriya made sure not to lift his gaze upwards, while Galadriel's buttocks were above him.

"N-No, you're not that heavy!" Midoriya says, and Galadriel almost faces the palm.

Uraraka hissed something about not saying something like that to a girl.

"Midoriya, do you think I'm fat?" Said Galadriel, scandalized.

" Nope ! I didn't want to look like that! You are perfect ! You just have assets... very conspicuous. " Midoriya said, not realizing what he was saying.

Uraraka wanted to turn around and die, while Tokoyami shook his face, while wondering if teaming up with them was such a good idea. And Galadriel only smiled, appreciating that.

" What are you talking about ? About my bust or my hips? " Galadriel asked in an innocent voice.

Midoriya didn't say anything, as he finally understood that silence was the best way to stay out of trouble...smart man.

Turning in his direction, Galadriel ruffled Midoriya's wild hair. She didn't know why, but she did. Something about him being so naive and shy made Galadriel want to tease him more. She liked to behave the same way she annoyed Peroroncino.

She forgot that Nazarick was watching her, and that's not a good thing.

"It's okay, Midoriya, I'll forgive you for calling me fat if we win," Galadriel said, and Midoriya only nodded furiously.

Then, looking beside him, he suddenly saw Luffy arriving with his team, while he was positioned in front.

Displaying a stoic gaze, the pirate seemed much calmer than usual, while his eyes were glassy.

" Luffy-san ? "

" Everybody is ready ? ! Here we go ! Midnight shouted, begging the cavalry battle.

Each student had the same idea, and that is to get Galadriel's headband. She expected it, so she didn't seem surprised by the sudden attack.

" They arrive." Midoriya shouted, looking startled by the sudden attack.

Uraraka let out a loud cry of surprise.

"You must have guessed." Tokoyami growled. "A certain white-haired girl is their target."

"Are you insinuating it's my fault?" Galadriel questioned him.

"Class 2-B, forward." Tetsutetsu shouted, as his team was the first to join Gaaldriel's.

Galadriel notices one of them trying to trap them, using her Quirk to make the earth swallow them.

"We are sinking!" Yelled Uraraka.

"Midoriya, make a decision quickly. " Tokoyami ordered.

But, before the boy could answer him, Galadriel beat him to it.

"[Arcane expansion force]"

The Galadriel spell took everyone by surprise. Pushing them all away. She didn't want to kill anyone by accident. So she will only use skills that will help her escape.

"Now everyone hold on tight!" Galadriel said.

"[Arcane Mass Teleportation]"

Students have seen how quickly they fade. Students outside of Class 1-A didn't even know what was going on. But Galadriel's class looks around to see where she is. Some pro-heroes are impressed.

"Where has she gone?!" A student shouted.

"I…Look over there!" Ashido shouted, gesturing the group away from everyone.

They saw Galadriel and the others, a few feet away from everyone. Uraraka had that confused look, while Tokoyami looked more used to it, considering he had already teamed up with Galadriel. Thinking of what she could create using the white-haired girl's abilities... Midoriya looks nervous but confident that everything will be fine. If there's anyone who can do anything against them all, it's Galadriel. The Demonic Empress had a big smile on her face, enjoying every minute of it.

"My, my, it looks like they'll do whatever it takes to confront me, what do you think, Midoriya?" said Galadriel.

" Huh ... yeah. "

"In that case, we will attack them."

Galadriel will defeat them all and prove to them that it is not a good idea to challenge her.

Sorry, the chapter is short but I have an order to complete today. And also, for those who will not agree with Luffy being manipulated by Shinso, I just remind that he was manipulated by Jango, Miss Goldenweek, the ghosts of Perona... and that he endrome every time Brook plays the violin during a fight.
