'Groups' ④

After the 'competition' ended, the 'host' announced with a hint of regret that Uraraka Shige's current 'Beast Group' had lost the three-part competition.

The gloating tone in his voice made Uraraka Shige seriously suspect that this 'host' might have some kind of grudge against certain members of the 'Beast Group'.

Of course, it's also possible that this 'host' is just like Quirk... because the main reason why the 'Beast Group' failed was the sudden betrayal of that clever guy, who handed over the central treasure he was carrying to the 'Snake Group', resulting in the 'Snake Group' ultimately leading the 'Beast Group' by more than 150 points.

Otherwise, the 'Beast Group' should actually be leading the 'Snake Group' by fifty points.

However, Uraraka Shige himself didn't really feel the betrayal from the clever egg... after all, he didn't have any sense of identification or belonging to the 'Beast Group'.

Therefore, after the 'Beast' group failed and Uraraka Shige was harassed for the first time, Uraraka Shige, like many other guys, simply withdrew from the ' Beast Group.

He thought he would finally find peace and quiet, but to his surprise, in the following two weeks, even more people started causing him trouble.

Is it really that troublesome not to have a 'group'?

Uraraka Shige couldn't help but think this.

"Since that's the case, why don't we create our own 'group'?"

Immediately after dealing with yet another minor trouble, Uraraka Shige.

However, if you want to form a 'group', even just a 'small group', it's not something one person can do alone. Even if you do manage to form one, without sufficient strength, it won't be recognized by others.

Although Uraraka Shige is not weak among all the inmates in this Discipline Prison, at least among all the inmates in Area A... he can only be considered to be of above-average strength.

However, the so-called sufficient strength required to establish a 'single group' is to be able to crush, at least to crush, all the disciplined people in Area A.

In other words, if Uraraka Shige wants to form a 'group', he needs at least one member who is strong enough.

Fortunately, Uraraka Shige already had some ideas about this member.

That 'simple-minded' big guy would actually be a good fit.

So on this day, Uraraka Shige took advantage of the rest time after lunch to find Gu Yu, this 'simple-minded' big guy.

Since neither of them liked beating around the bush, the conversation between Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu was straightforward and simple, with fewer twists and turns.

"Leave the 'Beasts' group. I want to form a 'group,' a group where only those who have emerged from the 'single room' can be members."

"Why?"

Gu Yu seemed somewhat puzzled by this, and then rejected Uraraka Shige.

"But the leader has been kind to me, and I don't want to leave."

The leader he referred to was the person in charge of the 'Beast Group' in Area A.

His so-called favor was nothing more than a play orchestrated by the person in charge to win people's hearts, but it was only aimed at the lower-level members. As for the 'management,' only the fool Gu Yu fell for it.

"Lately, I've been getting a lot of little troubles, and I keep having to deal with them one after another. I hate trouble, so I need your help."

Uraraka Shige didn't mind Gu Yu's rejection. Instead, she told Gu Yu about the troubles she had been facing recently, in order to show him that she really needed him.

In this Discipline Prison, he could barely consider this guy a friend, right? He believed Gu Yu wouldn't refuse him a second time.

And that is indeed the case.

His words put Gu Yu in a difficult position. However, Uraraka Shige was a selfish person, and his relationship with Gu Yu was not as close as his relationship with Genga. Therefore, he did not care about Gu Yu's predicament. In fact, he might even be said to be taking advantage of it.

Finally, after repeated persuasion from Uraraka Shige Gu Yu, who even explained to Gu Yu the methods the leader used to win people over, Gu Yu finally agreed to his request.

The formation of the 'group' is not that complicated.

Ultimately, a so-called 'group' is just a group of people who come together in a way that is similar to sticking together for warmth. Therefore, after Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu became members of the same group, they simply acted together more frequently than usual.

This behavior was undoubtedly effective. Gu Yu helped Uraraka Shige get rid of many annoying little troubles, making Uraraka Shige much more at ease. After Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu acted together, Gu Yu was no longer used by that person in charge.

However, looking at it this way, it's really hard to say which side benefits more. But if we also consider that Gu Yu left 'Beast' Uraraka Shige, a 'group' that currently only has two members including him, not only did he lose the protection of 'Beast', but he was also targeted by 'Beast Group' as the weakest 'traitor'...

That Uraraka Shige truly owes Gu Yu a huge favor!

I don't know when I'll be able to repay this favor... But I suppose Gu Yu won't care about that, since he truly considers Uraraka Shige a friend.

Thinking about it this way, Uraraka Shige should feel ashamed for taking advantage of Gu Yu's feelings and personality!

However, Uraraka Shige's selfish nature means he won't end up in such a situation... Even if he does feel ashamed and wants to make amends, his feelings won't be too overwhelming.

Of course, if it's a life-saving favor, then that's a different story.

After all, Uraraka Shige does know how to be grateful.

In short, Uraraka Shige's 'group' was hastily established, with only himself and Gu Yu, a 'simple-minded' big guy, as members, and they were also targeted by their former employer, the 'Beast Group'.

But this is just the beginning, so there's no need to expect too much.

At present, the most serious problem facing Uraraka Shige's 'group' is actually the 'Beast Group' targeting him. However, Uraraka Shige was prepared for this, and even prepared how he should break the deadlock when faced with this situation.

It may sound alarming, but Uraraka Shige plans to destroy the 'Beast Group'... Even if it's just the 'Beast Group' in Area A, it's still part of a 'large group'. Even though they lost the 'competition', they still have more than a hundred members, accounting for one-fifth of the total number of people under discipline in Area A.

However, while Uraraka Shige within the 'Beast Group,' she also heard a lot of information about the 'Beast Group's management' from that clever kid. If she could make good use of it, even if she couldn't completely destroy the 'Beast's' power in Area A, she could at least deal a heavy blow to the 'Beast's' in Area A, making them unable to cause trouble for the two of them again.
