As Kendou Itsuka and the others discussed, the black-haired girl Mizukawa Ran, who was responsible for scaring Bakugo and Todoroki's group at the next intersection, indeed hoped to use this courage test as an opportunity to communicate well with Bakugo Katsuki.
In fact, Mizukawa Ran's situation had been very unfavorable recently.
First, the meticulous plans of her fellow transmigrators, Yamada Yu and Shigaraki Tomura, were easily thwarted by Accelerator.
When she heard that the "League of Villains" had been captured and imprisoned in the Quirk prison (USJ incident), Mizukawa Ran was completely devastated.
At that time, she had just been exposed by Bakugo Katsuki, and the development of the USJ arc was completely beyond their expectations.
Mizukawa Ran learned from the conversations of Class B students that, according to the plot, All Might, who was supposed to be nearly defeated by a single high-level Nomu, didn't even make it to the scene.
The other trump card, another high-level Nomu, also didn't work.
All of them were completely defeated by a mysterious figure who shouldn't have appeared and wasn't mentioned in the original work—the great demon king, Accelerator.
He accomplished the impossible feat of defeating the early "League of Villains" single-handedly, a terrifying achievement.
To Mizukawa Ran, nothing was more terrifying than losing Bakugo Katsuki's affection. But the great demon king's actions forcibly made her understand how desperate it was for the protagonist (as she considered herself) to lose the ability to foresee the future.
Mizukawa Ran never expected that the mysterious figure created by the world's suppression force would be so powerful, and educating Kacchan was just the beginning.
Driven by the desire to survive, Mizukawa Ran, who was familiar with the personalities of Class B members, blended in with everyone.
However, the four characters of the great demon king Accelerator's name...
It was like a sharp blade constantly aimed at her pupils, a torment that woke her up in cold sweat and subconscious fear even in her dreams.
Mizukawa Ran, who prided herself as the heroine, didn't expect that this period was just the beginning of a nightmare.
As Mizukawa Ran had imagined, the League of Villains, backed by All for One, managed to escape from police custody. Just when Ran thought things couldn't get worse, she received a notification from Shigaraki Tomura on a sunny afternoon.
Her once invincible sister, also a "transcender" like her, and the owner of the Telekinetic Blade Quirk, Yamada Yu, was dead.
She died as humbly as an ant.
From Shigaraki's hysterical resentment, Ran learned how much pain Yamada Yu had endured from defeat to death.
When Shigaraki Tomura extended an invitation to her, the once fearless Mizukawa Ran, who dreamed of ruling the world with her sister, felt an indescribable fear.
She agreed to Shigaraki's conditions on the surface, but in reality, the only thing shining in the heart of the short-haired girl was the strong belief in "survival."
After all, this woman, who had lived for a total of thirty years in two lifetimes, was just an ordinary person.
What made her feel superior to the original characters was nothing more than her knowledge of the plot, her face that was several times more beautiful than in her previous life, her body that was several times more alluring, and most importantly, her background.
Being Bakugo Katsuki's childhood friend.
The suppression of the other world was too strong, and the cruel reality gave Mizukawa Ran, who had high ambitions, the correct despair, making this girl, who had no faith or strength, completely surrender.
At some point, Mizukawa Ran decided never to take the initiative to associate with the League of Villains again. Instead, she decided to cling to the main characters, hide her true nature, and hope to regain Bakugo's affection by selling out the League of Villains' attack information.
Seeing an annoying person next to her beloved handsome figure, Mizukawa Ran suppressed her inner frustration and walked out.
Bakugo Katsuki showed a slightly impatient expression when he saw her face and said.
"Hmph, why is it you again?"
Mizukawa Ran instinctively put on a weak appearance, but then realized that wouldn't work, so she switched to a serious expression and said to Todoroki-kun.
"Um... Todoroki Shoto, could you leave for a moment?"
"I have something important to discuss with Kacchan alone."
"Get out of the way, you annoying person!"
When they first noticed some subtle differences in this world compared to the original (such as the addition of Ketsubutsu and Seiai Academy, the gender change of Todoroki Shoto, and many unfamiliar characters), they both agreed that this was a proper adjustment when the animated world became real, according to the novels they had read.
So before getting into U.A. High School, besides being wary of their childhood friend Midoriya Izuku, who acted a bit strange, Mizukawa Ran was also preventing Bakugo from interacting with the female version of Todoroki Shoto.
After all, when they watched the third season of the anime, besides Midoriya, Todoroki Shoto was Bakugo's biggest ship.
Todoroki seemed to remember Mizukawa Ran, and with her excellent memory, she still recalled what her best friend Shokuhou had told her.
Mizukawa Ran was likely already recruited as a spy by the League of Villains.
But cautious Todoroki didn't show it and kept a poker face as usual, saying:
"Since this classmate is willing to break the rules just to talk to you (Bakugo), I won't get in your way. I'll leave first."
"Bakugo, be careful."
To avoid alerting the enemy, Todoroki planned to secretly observe nearby but acted as usual on the surface.
Just like Accelerator didn't think much of Bakugo Katsuki, Todoroki Shoto, as a girl, didn't feel close to Bakugo. Her actual impression was similar to Yoarashi from Shiketsu, who didn't know the real Bakugo.
Seeing Todoroki being so considerate, Mizukawa Ran smiled sincerely and said:
"You are really a good person, Todoroki."
Todoroki gave her a meaningful look and walked away into the darkness.
Bakugo watched his group mate leave and looked at his childhood friend with displeasure, saying:
"So what exactly do you want to talk to me about alone?"
"Make it short. Even if you break the rules of this event, if you just want me to change my mind, my answer won't change easily."
Mizukawa Ran understood what Bakugo meant and said seriously:
"Kacchan, please listen to me slowly. This is really important!"
