Back to School Part 2

"Hey! I finally figured out why Kyudai from the S・A team is referred to as 'Jigoku-kō.' It's actually kind of interesting!"

"Hah!" Both Sei and Haruhi exchanged confused looks, their eyebrows raised in surprise.

"Wait a minute! I remember when I first arrived at this school, I heard some upperclassmen mention that the S・A team is often compared to something like the 'Hell Team,'" Haruhi said, her voice filled with curiosity as she glanced at Sei, who seemed equally intrigued.

"Really? So, does that mean they act like some kind of beasts or something?" Sei asked, her eyes shifting from Haruhi to their other friends, eager for more insights into this team. She was trying to process what they had just learned.

"What are you talking about?" Yuki inquired, looking thoroughly puzzled and slightly furrowed in concentration as she tried to understand the situation.

"Hah!" Sei exclaimed in bewilderment, her brow furrowing as she struggled to grasp the context of the conversation. Meanwhile, Haruhi took a brief moment to gather her thoughts before speaking up.

"Okay, okay!" Haruhi let out a long, deep sigh, clearly feeling the weight of the situation. She continued earnestly,

"What exactly do you mean by all of that? Can you please clarify what you're trying to say?" Turning her attention back to Yuki, she shared a meaningful glance with Sei, hoping to convey their mutual confusion.

Sei remained quiet, choosing to withhold her thoughts for the moment. She patiently waited for Yuki to provide her answer, curious to see how she would respond to the questions posed to her.

"I finally figured out why the SA team has been given the nickname Jigoku-kō," Yuki said with a weary sigh, moving closer to Sei and Haruhi to share more insight on the matter.

"You see, there are nine members currently undergoing intense training under Fune-sensei, a formidable figure in the coaching world. He is known as 'Yajū,' and it perfectly captures his reputation as the toughest and most demanding coach among all the instructors we have here at the school."

"So, you mean being trained by a wild beast is like being in hell?'' Sei responded, looking at Yuki to make her meaning clear. 

''Ah! Hmm,'' Yuki nodded in agreement with what Sei had said.

''Ah, that's true! Me too! I want to be on the S・A, B team!'' Haruhi exclaimed with her usual warm smile.

"A team is the main team, but I am very familiar with all the members of the main team, and I am aware of my own abilities too! B team is a support team for A team, so in this situation, I feel confident that I can contribute!" Haruhi clearly expressed her thoughts.

Three of them are engaged in a lively conversation, enjoying delicious snacks and warm tea together in a cozy corner.

Meanwhile, just outside the dorm building, a group of students is playing various sports, while others are sitting in small clusters, absorbed in their reading.

"I have a strong feeling that I'm going to win this time," Hoshitani Bakugo declared confidently, a broad grin spreading across his face.

"Hah! Challenge accepted! I'm looking forward to it!" Jin responded enthusiastically, matching Bakugo's grin with one of his own.

'You might be wondering what kind of competition has sparked such bold declarations between them.'

30 minutes ago....

Jin and Kenya headed to the mart located on the academy grounds, keeping a careful eye on their surroundings as they searched for Kenjuro, who had gone ahead of them. They hoped to catch up with him soon, as he was likely finding the aisles or perhaps already selecting some items they needed.

As they approached the entrance of the mart, they noticed a group of students gathered, clearly intrigued by something happening among them.

Their curiosity was piqued, and they exchanged brief glances filled with interest before heading toward the crowd, eager to discover what was capturing everyone's attention.

''Yahoo!'' 

Jin and Kenya raised their eyebrows in confusion as they heard a familiar voice ringing out in the distance. It was a sound they recognized well, echoing across the marathon training ground of the academy.

Intrigued, they exchanged curious glances and decided to move closer to investigate the source. As they approached, they saw Kenjuro engaged in an intense match with another student from their class.

The sight of the two students competing fervently captivated their attention, drawing them further into the unfolding scene.

Kenjuro runs with incredible speed that catches the eye not only because of how fast he moves but also due to the bright light that surrounds him. His impressive pace makes his performance even more striking, and the illumination that accompanies his strides adds to the overall spectacle.

"Wow, he's truly amazing!" several students exclaimed, their voices filled with enthusiasm as they admired Kenjuro's impressive running skills on the track.

"Absolutely! He not only runs fast but also has incredible endurance. He won the best marathon at Chidomiyama Junior," one student added, clearly proud of his achievement.

"That's so cool to hear!" a girl nearby remarked, gazing at Kenjuro with bright, adoring eyes that sparkled with admiration as she watched him run effortlessly across the field.

Ahh!

Jin and Kenya decide to stay silent as they watch Kenjuro compete against several of his classmates. The atmosphere is charged with energy as the group participates in various challenges. Among the competitors is a guy named Ashito, who frequently finds himself in heated arguments with Jin and Kenya.

Urh!!?

Jin and Kenya share a moment, exchanging glances filled with confusion and uncertainty about the situation unfolding around them. Their expressions are full of questions as they attempt to grasp what is happening.

Suddenly, their attention shifts to a different sound. They both turn to look at Kenjuro when they hear the unmistakable sound of footsteps approaching quickly, running towards them.

''Oui! Ashito mentioned that if he emerged victorious, it would be essential for us to create an opportunity for him to confess his feelings to Sei,''
