Although it's called a pre-arranged plan, it's actually quite simple.

It's simply a matter of understanding the members of 'Snake' to deduce who they will send to the competition, then formulating a targeted plan, and finally executing a trade-off strategy when encountering a competition mode that the opposing members are particularly good at.

Meanwhile, the participants for 'Beast' have been selected. The guy who is in charge of 'Beast' in Area A is, of course, required to participate. Even if it's just to stabilize morale, he can't refuse to participate in the competition.

Otherwise, someone in Area A, whose status is second only to him, might use this as an excuse to cause trouble. His position is not very stable to begin with, and if his former competitors find an opportunity, they might actually be able to overthrow him in one fell swoop.

Besides that guy, the smart kid who rose to the position second only to this person in charge, relying on his intellect, will also participate. He needs to know the details of the competition in a timely manner and find ways to deal with various unexpected situations while adhering to the 'rules'.

And even putting that aside, he still had to personally command Gu Yu, that 'simple-minded' big guy.

Yes, that's right. Gu Yuji is also one of the disciplined members of the 'Beast' group who will participate in the competition. In the words of this 'silly' big guy, 'I feel so bored here, but now that there's a competition, I'm going to participate. I'm in great shape!'

Following Gu Yu, this 'simple-minded' big guy, Uraraka Shige also participated in the competition.

Uraraka Shige's reason was actually similar to that of Gu Yu: boredom. More importantly, Uraraka Shige also wanted to take this opportunity to observe how others used their own 'Quirk' to see if it could inspire him.

Then, among the remaining management of the 'Beasts', there were three guys who were on the same level as Uraraka Shige, Gu Yu, and that clever kid, and five guys who were slightly lower in status than them.

However, since these eight guys were just extras, they didn't even have names, so there's no need to mention them further.

Of course, these eight extras, along with Uraraka Shige and others, totaling eleven people, were only participating in the 'individual' competition, which was the first of the three competition rules in the 'large group' competition mode.

As for the 'team' in the second chapter, since Uraraka Shige been a member of the 'Beast' for very long, and more importantly, he had little contact with the other members of the unified 'group' and had not developed any kind of tacit understanding with them, Uraraka Shige did not participate.

The third charter, 'Group,' is required for all members of the regional group and has the largest number of participants and scale among the three charters, so Uraraka Shige naturally cannot avoid it either.

However, these things won't happen for another three days, so there's no need to think about them too much now. Instead, we should talk about what's happening right now.

For example, after this short break, further "learning" begins in the morning following the "morning study".

Inside the Discipline Prison, "official" "staff" would divide the inmates into groups and herd them into various "classrooms." Then, using an extremely crude, straightforward, rudimentary, and tedious method of group brainwashing, they would semi-force these inmates to develop entirely new values, enabling them to put their lives on the right track.

Then there was another short break, used to relax the tense and tired minds and bodies of all those being disciplined, who had become somewhat strained from 'studying', and also to allow some of them to take care of their personal physiological needs (such as going to the toilet, going to the toilet, going to the toilet... and drinking water).

Uraraka Shige didn't seem to need to use the restroom. He usually took care of his urination and defecation during the short break before lunch and nap time after the 'instruction' session.

Therefore, during this short break, he simply didn't go out. He just got up and walked around the 'classroom' against the wall to stretch his muscles and prevent his body from becoming stiff and his blood circulation from being too poor due to sitting for a long time.

It was during this time that, as Uraraka Shige walked to a spot near the door of the 'classroom', the guy sitting in that spot suddenly whispered something to Uraraka Shige.

"You must be Uraraka Shige from the 'Beast Group,' right? Please come with me."

Then, with extreme confidence, he walked out of the 'classroom' without looking back, seemingly convinced that Uraraka Shige would follow him out of the 'classroom' and go to the place he wanted to lead Uraraka Shige to.

However, Uraraka Shige only glanced at him with loving eyes, completely ignoring his inexplicable confidence and his words, and continued to move her body according to her own ideas in the 'classroom', without any intention of following him.

Honestly, this guy just blurted out that sentence out of nowhere, without even piquing Uraraka Shige's Curiosity. So naturally, Uraraka Shige wouldn't just blindly listen to this guy, since he didn't know him and had no idea who he was.

So, after the short break ended, this guy finally walked into the 'classroom' with a terrible expression.

Judging from his foul-smelling face, one could roughly guess that this guy hadn't realized his mistake and was more likely to think that Uraraka Shige had tricked him.

However, Uraraka Shige didn't seem to care much about it, only thinking that this guy might have had his brain messed up by his 'Quirk'.

However, to Uraraka Shige's surprise, during the short break after the 'instruction' ended, this guy spoke to Uraraka Shige again.

Moreover, this time it wasn't that Uraraka Shige just happened to pass by this guy; rather, this guy deliberately came to Uraraka Shige's vicinity and specifically sought him out.

"I don't know why you didn't come along, but it's okay. Since you didn't follow me, I'll come here instead."

This guy looked at Uraraka Shige and said this with a hint of resentment, then paused before revealing the reason he was looking for Uraraka Shige and the main point.

"We've already made thorough preparations for the match three days from now, and the 'Beast Group' is bound to lose. That's why I've come here specifically to ask you, Uraraka Shige, are you interested in joining our 'Snake Group'?"
