Arrangements
"Huh? You're a student in the Hero Course too!" Togashi was stunned for a moment, then did something that caught Jilan Jiyu off guard—he took off his hair!
Yes, although he didn't know why, Yuta Togashi was wearing a wig. After taking off his thick wig, he revealed his somewhat immature face. He scratched his cheek and said somewhat embarrassedly, "As you can see, this is my true face now. As a senior in the Hero Course, doing something so shameful will surely make me a laughingstock among the juniors..."
"If you're talking about your hobby of wearing wigs, then no, it's your own hobby, you don't need anyone else's approval." Jilan Jiyu shook their heads. "Besides, I don't think there's anything strange about it. There are programmers everywhere who like to wear wigs, and I even like figurines..."
"Wigs... I think we might not be talking about the same thing." Togashi smiled. "But I really like figures too. Let's go to Akihabara together sometime."
"Okay." Jilan Jiyu paused for a moment, not quite understanding what he was talking about, but still nodded in agreement. "Senior, I have something to do, so I'll be going now."
I always felt there was something strange about this person...
"Okay, okay." Togashi breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that his junior had brought it up. He wanted to end this conversation, which felt like torture to him.
As Jilan Jiyu walked out of the grove, she glanced back and saw that Togashi seemed to have thought of something painful. He stood there, holding his head and groaning softly. After squatting for a while, he stood up again and put his wig back on.
He spread his legs, covered his face with one hand, and spread his fingers on the other hand, striking a pose somewhat like the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure pose. He began chanting incantations at the Student Council in front of him, occasionally bursting into maniacal laughter.
"Could this senior be a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?" Jilan Jiyu thought to herself.
The next morning, Jilan Jiyu asked Momo Yaoyorozu Erina Nakiri had done anything after he left the day before.
Unexpectedly—"You mean Xiaohui? She's so nice to me!" Yaoyorozu said excitedly, "She not only taught me how to better manage the class and created a personalized diet plan for me, but she also considers me a good friend and invited me to visit her home!"
"... That's really impressive." Who would have thought that in just one afternoon, the thick-browed, big-eyed Momo Yaoyorozu would be bribed and defect from the revolutionary ranks!
It should be something unexpected yet reasonable, right? People with charisma like Erina Nakiri do easily gain the trust of others, so it would be welcome if Momo Yaoyorozu's relationship with her gets better and better.
At the morning meeting, Yaoyorozu stood on the podium to Aizawa's surprised expression and explained the arrangements for the Sports Festival.
"After communicating with the Student Council secretary, we, the Hero Course, will be participating in the preparations for the Sports Festival. First, our class needs to send two students to a designated location after each day's classes to help move heavy objects. It should take about twenty minutes each day to complete the task."
Seeing that no one below the podium was interested, Momo Yaoyorozu continued, "After discussing with the class representative and Mr. Aizawa, those who went to help this time will receive an exemption from the test. This exemption can be used if you fail, meaning that even if you fail once, you won't need to retake the test."
"No need for a makeup exam?!" Mina Ashido's eyes lit up, and she waved her hand. "Pick me, pick me! I'm willing to help!"
"Hahaha, Ashido, with your build, aren't you afraid of being crushed by the heavy objects while helping out?" Yuga Aoyama covered her mouth with one hand and laughed. "Trying to do manual labor just to avoid retaking the exam, what a tragedy for someone with bad grades!"
"I can make the ground slippery with slime, put things on it and push them around, and are you implying you want your clothes to get corroded again? Hehehe..." Mina Ashido's hands were covered in a slime with low acidity as she looked at Aoyama with a sinister smile.
In that instant, he remembered the miserable state of his cloak earlier, and with a bitter face, he stubbornly turned his head away, "I won't bother with a rude person like you!"
Although Ashido managed to appease Yuga Aoyama, who was mocking him, he couldn't persuade Momo Yaoyorozu.
She selected from those who raised their hands for a moment and said, "Shoji- san and Kirishima- san, is that alright? Based on the previous grip strength test, you two are quite strong, so you shouldn't be carrying anything too heavy."
Mezo Shoji silently. His Quirk was Dupli-Arms, which allowed him to grow many arms on both sides of his body, making it perfect for tasks like moving things. Although his grades were quite good, he wouldn't miss an opportunity to help others.
Kirishima hardened his arm, sparks flying as they collided, and said with a smile, "Yaoyorozu, thank you. I really need this opportunity to be exempt from the exam."
Like Tetsutetsu from the next class, Kirishima wasn't particularly bright, and his grades were only average, often hovering around the passing mark.
"Next, the Management Course needs someone to test the sensitivity of the surveillance equipment, preferably someone with fast reflexes." Looking at Tenya Iida, who was straining to stand up straight and raising his hands high, Yaoyorozu sighed. "Okay, then it's decided, Iida- kun."
"The Support Course needs..."
Izuku Midoriya stared Izuku Midoriya at Yaoyorozu, raising his hand high every time she announced a task, but Yaoyorozu always ignored Midoriya, seemingly not considering his intentions at all.
Jilan Jiyu watched Midoriya's expression shift from excitement to disappointment, repeating this several times, before finally laughing. After laughing, he said seriously to Midoriya, "Midoriya, you don't need to raise your hand anymore. We've discussed it, and this time, you won't be considered for any of the jobs."
"Why! Jilan, is it something I did wrong!?" Midoriya asked, somewhat astonished.
"Is there even a need to say this? You should know that your body is completely unable to handle your Quirk. If Yaoyorozu and I asked you to help us, it would be irresponsible of us to make you use your Quirk."
"Then I can choose not to use my Quirk..." Midoriya said, still unwilling to give up.
Jilan Jiyu interrupted him, "Midoriya, the truth is, when you don't use your Quirk, you're just a little stronger than the average student, and you haven't been of much help in the past."
"Haha, Deku, did you hear that? I admit you have a strong Quirk, but when you can't use it, you're just that hopeless loser from middle school!" Bakugo heard what Jilan Jiyu said to Midoriya and turned to mock Midoriya.
Although Bakugo learned that Midoriya was very strong during the USJ incident, in Bakugo's heart, Midoriya was still that Deku, the Deku who just followed behind him and wiped his nose.
"Bakugo, since you say that, then raise your hand." Jilan Jiyu looked at Bakugo with disdain. Although he was Bakugo Midoriya, he didn't raise his hand, meaning he didn't want to help. "In my opinion, Midoriya is much stronger than you. He's eager to help others."
"Tsk." Bakugo clicked his tongue, then turned away, annoyed, and said, "Mind your own business. This is voluntary. I'm not willing to waste my time on opportunities that only slackers fight over."
"Useless...?" Izuku Midoriya All Might of All Might's words to him and clenched his fist.
I'm sure I'll shine at the Sports Festival!
