Devil?

Renault lifted Kaminari onto the sideline and said to Ojiro, "Ojiro, it's your turn next."

"Uh... okay!" Ojiro felt his breathing become irregular, which made him more nervous than when he participated in the Sports Festival.

Moreover, Ojiro realized that he had never fought against Renault since the start of school, which was the first time for him. This made him even more nervous.

"Don't be nervous, Ojiro," Renault looked at Ojiro and said, "I'm quite interested in testing your martial arts. I won't use my Quirk for this match, let's have close combat."

"Oh? Really?" Ojiro looked at Renault in disbelief.

"Of course," Renault nodded, "I haven't always focused on training my Quirk. I've been working hard to improve my physical abilities. If you don't take this seriously, you could easily fail!"

"I understand, please teach me, Renault."

After calming down, Ojiro took a step forward and stared at Renault ahead, swinging his tail behind him and rushing out fiercely.

Ojiro's Quirk was Tail, and most of his attacks were based on his tail. During the charge, Ojiro stepped on the ground, jumped into the air, and twisted his body while swinging his tail.

His powerful tail, with strong momentum, smashed toward Renault.

Since Renault knew that he had never fought against Ojiro, he intentionally wanted to test Ojiro's strength this time. So he didn't dodge and just lifted his right arm to prepare to take it head-on.

*BANG!*

The tail collided with the right arm, producing a powerful impact. After the first hit, Ojiro was surprised to find that his attack had not shaken Renault at all, so he immediately stepped back and created some distance.

Looking at Ojiro retreating cautiously, Renault did not chase after him. Instead, he looked at his right arm. After taking off his coat, a faint red mark was revealed on his bare forearm.

"Not bad attack, if your physical fitness could be better, Ojiro, your strength would be greatly improved," Renault said.

"I know, but this is long-term progress, and I've been working hard on it," Ojiro replied.

"Well, then, I'm going to start!" Renault said.

"Bring it on."

On the sidelines, except for Kaminari who was still in a 'dumb' state, the others were shocked as they watched Renault and Ojiro engage in a physical battle on the field.

"I never thought that Ojiro would be so powerful when he gave it his all," Jiro said in surprise.

Listening to Jiro's words, Sero explained, "Due to his Quirk, Ojiro has to take this path if he wants to become a hero. He has been developing his Tail-Fighting skills since he was young. However, there are too many talented people in our class, so he hasn't stood out much. But what surprised me the most was that Renault's physical abilities are also so strong!"

"Indeed, and he handles it with ease," Ashido said as she watched Renault nimbly respond to Ojiro's attacks on the field. "Renault-kun is quite handsome," she added, patting Yaoyorozu on the shoulder. "What do you think, Yaomomo?"

"Huh? What?" Yaoyorozu came back to her senses and asked in confusion.

"Don't you think Renault-kun on the field is very handsome?" Ashido asked.

"Well, yes," Yaoyorozu nodded. She continued to watch the battle, but her attention was now focused more on Renault, without her even realizing the change.

Ashido looked at Yaoyorozu, who was somewhat stunned, with a mischievous smile on her face. She felt that she had discovered something very interesting and was even more convinced of her guess.

Ten minutes later, Ojiro was exhausted and could no longer hold on, so he had to admit defeat.

"Haah... haah..." Sitting on the ground, Ojiro gasped for breath and looked at Renault in front of him. "Are your physical strength that good?"

"Your physical strength is good too," Renault replied. "Although it's not as exaggerated as Bakugo's endurance, you're still one of the tops in the class. It's impressive that you can fight with such intensity for so long."

It's true that Renault didn't use any powerful moves, but his attack frequency was no less intense. It was impressive that Ojiro could keep up with him for so long.

Indeed, there was no simple person in their class. Even Kaminari, who had previously used his electric power to the fullest, was not something that Mikoto could match yet.

Except for the Grape Boy, of course.

Next, Ojiro was replaced by Sero, Ashido, and Yaoyorozu, who took turns fighting against Renault. He observed and identified their respective problems.

After Yaoyorozu's training session was over, Kaminari also returned to his normal state from his 'dumb' state.

"Ah, is it over already?" Kaminari asked.

"It ended a while ago. Do you want to see what you did earlier?" Jiro teased as she pulled out her phone.

"Ah!!!! Delete it!" Kaminari panicked.

While the group was fooling around, Yaoyorozu was pondering her previous battle with Renault. She had used all the tactics she could think of and tried to keep her distance from him, but it was still difficult to keep up with his rapid attacks. After the battle, Renault only said one thing to her.

"At times, if the defense is not effective, it's better to go all out on the attack from the start. Perhaps it can catch the opponent off guard."

Yaoyorozu realized that he was right. During her fight with Renault, she immediately thought of her battle with Tokoyami during the Sports Festival. It had started almost the same way, and although her performance had improved a lot, the outcome was still the same. Furthermore, Renault hadn't even used his full power.

'It seems like I need to come up with more tactical plans. My Quirk is enough to support me in considering various situations and tactics. Besides defense and counterattacks, I can also use heavy firepower...' Yaoyorozu thought to herself.

With that, the one-hour practical training was over, and the group resumed their cultural lessons. Ashido was slumped on her desk and didn't want to look at her textbook.

"Ah, Renault-kun, can't we take a break?" she pleaded.

"We've already rested for more than ten minutes. Isn't that enough? I see that you have recovered your energy, and you have the strength to mess around," Renault said mercilessly, holding a math book in his hands.

"Ugh... Are you devil?" Ashido groaned.

"You can interpret it that way, after all, I've always said that my tutoring is very strict. Now, turn to page eighty-six, and let's go over the next topic. This is clearly something that will be on the exam," Renault said, continuing his lecture.

Watching Renault give a serious lecture and the other five either deeply contemplating or going crazy, Yaoyorozu smiled and got up to prepare some refreshments.
