Group Assignments

Shota Aizawa. There was such a thing. Because of the Student Council's requirement, both the Hero Course and the General Studies Course had to send people to help with the preparations for the Sports Festival. In order to encourage students to participate, Aizawa promised Jilan that he would give everyone who participated in the event a chance not to have to retake the exam.

But Shota Aizawa said calmly, "It's a make-up exam, but tutoring is essential; none of them can be absent."

"Isn't a make-up exam and tutoring the same thing?! Mr. Aizawa, you're a liar!"

Aizawa revealed a sinister smile, "That's just a reasonable pretense to motivate you. Even if you complain to the dean, I'll still win."

"You treacherous adult!"

"Alright, I can't help you with that." Jilan shrugged helplessly and waved her hand. "Have a good tutoring session."

"Squad leader, don't abandon us!" "Pass me, let me test my courage!"

Hearing the screams of the people behind her, Jilan sighed helplessly. What could they do? They failed the exam. Let them go in peace.

"Alright, let me explain the rules." The American Shorthair, as always, gave the introduction. Pointing to the forest path ahead, she said, "A circular path has been cleared out of this forest. Class B has already positioned themselves at certain points along this path; they'll be responsible for scaring you. Class A will work in pairs, departing every three minutes. Your task is simply to walk around this path and return. There are signs with your names written on them in the middle of the path. If you retrieve the signs, you've successfully completed the challenge!"

Tiger loudly added, "The class that tries to scare the other person can't directly touch them; they can only use their Quirk to frighten them. They need to be creative and get as many people as possible to lose control of their bladder to win!"

"Please don't say that, it's disgusting," Jiro said, squinting and raising his hand. "Could we not participate in this event? I think I ate something bad."

"Hehe, little girl, running away at the last minute isn't a good habit!" Tiger laughed heartily. "Don't be afraid of any difficulties you encounter. Face them with a smile. The only way to overcome fear is to confront it. Perseverance is victory. Keep it up!"

Mandalay approached the crowd with a box that only had an opening at the top, and called out with a smile, "Alright, everyone who's participating, come and draw lots!"

"I'm not afraid of ghosts at all," Jiro said, forcing himself to walk up and draw a fortune stick.

There are fifteen people in total, drawn in pairs, so one person will be left alone.

Group 1: Tokoyami and Shoji; Group 2: Bakugo and Todoroki; Group 3: Jiro and Hagakure; Group 4: Yaoyorozu and Jilan; Group 5: Uraraka and Asui; Group 7: Mineta and Ojiro; Group 8:

"I never thought I'd be the one all alone," Midoriya said with a wry smile. However, the next moment, Bakugo snatched the ticket from Midoriya's hand and shoved another one into Midoriya's hand with a gloomy face.

"You switch with me," he said succinctly.

Midoriya's number is 8, Bakugo gave him number 2, meaning he'll be paired with Shoto Todoroki.

"Kacchan, why?"

"It's so noisy! Can't I change it?!" Bakugo said impatiently. "What, do you have a problem with that?"

"No!" Although he didn't know why Bakugo suddenly changed his ticket, Midoriya didn't mind being in a group with Todoroki, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

"Alright, alright, first group, get ready to go!"

At the command of the American Shorthair, Tokoyami and Shoji set off. Fumikage Tokoyami seemed particularly excited, repeatedly shouting, "A feast for the eyes!"

"Second group, who are the members of the second group? Get ready!"

"It's me!" Midoriya hurriedly responded and came to Shoto Todoroki's side.

"Midoriya? That's a very good result." Shoto Todoroki smiled.

Don't let his aloof and quiet demeanor in class fool you; he simply doesn't know how to communicate with others. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw familiar faces. If it were other quiet classmates or Bakugo, that guy who's always arguing, he really wouldn't know what to say.

It seems that Bakugo didn't tell Shoto Todoroki about the Bakugo swap. Considering that revealing this might make things awkward between the two of them, Midoriya decided to keep it a secret.

"Boom! This time it's two of us as a team. Please take good care of me," Midoriya said with a smile.

"Group Two, prepare to depart!"

"Let's go, Midoriya," Todoroki said calmly.

"Yes!" Midoriya nodded vigorously and followed behind Todoroki.

Jilan was in the fourth group, the same group as Yaoyorozu. He witnessed Bakugo and Midoriya exchanging tickets, and he found it a bit strange.

Bakugo should really hate interacting with Midoriya, so why the sudden change of heart?

However, when Jilan saw Bakugo say something to Mandalay and then walk up the mountain, he understood Bakugo's thoughts.

So Bakugo wanted to switch to the last position and use that time to find Kota?

After eating, Kota disappeared from the vicinity. Without a doubt, he must have gone to his secret base, Bakugo probably wanted to find him.

"Group four, prepare to depart!"

"Jilan, it's time for us to go," Yaoyorozu said somewhat nervously.

"Let's go," Jilan replied with a smile.

It was already dark outside. Outside the forest, the stars and campfire illuminated the surroundings, so I didn't feel particularly scared. However, as soon as I entered the forest and heard the rustling of the leaves in the wind, I immediately felt the silence and darkness around me.

"Jilan, actually, I'm terrified of ghosts." Walking along the path, Yaoyorozu took a deep breath and whispered to Jilan, "I've lived in a big house since I was little, and it was often empty. When I saw those ghosts, phantoms, zombies, and other monsters in books, I thought they were real creatures. I was afraid to turn off the lights at night and would hide under the covers. This behavior only gradually changed as I grew up, but I'm still afraid of ghosts and similar creatures."

Yaoyorozu was speaking intermittently when suddenly she felt Jilan Jiyu stop, and the surroundings became completely silent, as if it were a premonition of something.

"Jilan, what's wrong?" Yaoyorozu asked anxiously.

"Something's not right," Jilan replied.

Is there something ahead?! Yaoyorozu instantly perked up, focusing intently on the ground in front of her, and soon she also noticed something was wrong.

A woman in a white dress was suspended from a tree by Vines, her body swaying with the movement of the branches. Suddenly, a metallic clanging sound rang out, and the Vines, as if alive, surged towards Jilan and Yaoyorozu.

"Jilan, that's a hanged ghost!" Yaoyorozu exclaimed, grabbing Jilan's arm in terror. "They say hanged ghosts are those who suffered injustices in their lives and harbor powerful resentment! We have to run!"

Suddenly, the hanged ghost's head moved, its eyes snapping open, glaring at the Yaoyorozu with a resentful look.

Yaoyorozu quickly lowered his head to avoid eye contact with the hanged ghost, grabbing Jilan's hand to try and get him away while anxiously explaining loudly, "You can't look at a hanged ghost! If you do, you'll be attracted to it and start having thoughts of hanging yourself!"

However, as if she were under control, Jilan ignored Yaoyorozu's explanation and took a step toward the hanged ghost with a dazed look in her eyes, walking towards him step by step.
