How did I end up here? Why did I agree to this? Those were the only questions roaming inside the individual minds of Katsuki Bakugou and Camie Utsushimi. Both of them had the unfortunate luck of being one of the many students signed up for the annual school swap between their respective schools, by their classes nonetheless. As a result, they were briefly transferred between schools for less than a month.
Since her quirk wasn't deemed appropriate enough for the heroics course by UA standards, Camie was placed in one of the second-year general studies classes. She had insisted on bringing her Shiketsu cap with her, but UA wouldn't allow it so she went for a lightweight cowboy hat instead, since going to school bareheaded had become a rarity for her. While impressed by her temporary classmates to the point she socialised with many of them, she told herself that they were all irrelevant extras to her. Yet, she didn't know why.
Bakugou, always keen to stand out, wore his Shiketsu uniform in the same manner he usually wore his UA uniform. He was also lucky enough to end up in the same class as Inasa Yoarashi, the passionate wind quirk user from the hero licence exams. Even if he saw him as the loudmouth who couldn't tone the volume down to him, at least he wasn't an extra, Bakugou thought. Being in a class that had not only become a magnet for trouble and disaster, but was also absolutely nuts, was one thing. Being the fish out of water in a class of extras, as he put it, was another thing. Before he knew it, he started to miss his classmates back at UA before punching himself silly upon realisation that he was getting emotional. 'Why am I suddenly crying over these idiots?' he thought. Little did he know that he said it out loud. His classmates, especially Inasa, would tease him a bit by asking him, 'You miss your friends, don't you?' To which he responded, 'I don't miss them at all!' Except for a couple of people, he thought deep down.
Despite being a second-year student, Camie would spend most of her time with the first-years because they seemed like a dynamic and totes wild bunch, in her words. Being sure that they knew she wasn't acting like herself back in the hero licence exams, she went up to formally introduce herself and apologise for her antics. As soon as they were cool with it, she went up to them whenever break rolled around. Whether it was talking to Mina and Tooru about her antics back home, entertaining everyone with her illusions, or even staying at 1A or 1B dorms until Ectoplasm kicked her out as soon as her 2 visiting hours were up, Camie had actually settled down in UA.
Since Shiketsu's students and faculty weren't on high alert as a result of constant villain encounters, the school didn't need a dormitory system. While Bakugou revelled in sleeping in his own apartment for a month, he still felt like he could do with some companions. Just so he could brag about his triumphs back at UA. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Instead, he still had to deal with their tales of their own escapades, exercises and duties. 'What do they know, they haven't even gone up against a villain. They're even worse than those general pricks from UA,' he thought to himself. He didn't exactly resent them, because they were his other classmates after all, but their stories reminded him of all these disasters and incidents involving the League of Villains. Not that it stopped him from thinking of his summer as the best summer ever, in comparison to the Shiketsu kids. 'I think this place might not be so bad,' he told himself.
When it was time for the students to return to their respective schools, Bakugou walked back to 1A's dorms, still wearing his Shiketsu uniform. Heads turned around as soon as the door opened.
'Alright, spare the hellos and I miss yous. I know you probably won't even mean them,' he said.
'Still, it's great to have you back in UA,' said Sero. 'BTW, how was it over there?'
'Look, I don't want to talk about it,' said Bakugou.
'Fine, but there'll be no pudding for you,' said Mina, with a playfully sly tone as he grumbled.
'OK! But where's Miss Illusion? I know she's been talking to you lot almost every day, she texts me and says how you are…you…what's that crazy word she always uses?'
'Lit,' replied Todoroki. 'She says we are one lit bunch.'
'Even he's starting to get the hang of it,' said a gleeful Camie, as she popped out of nowhere. 'Hey, Baku-fam. You like Shiketsu? What'cha get up to?'
At this point, Bakugou knew he lost again. He just wanted to relax, he didn't want anyone to know about his time, but what else could he do if he was just gonna be pestered into giving the shiny-lipped girl a send-off gift from UA? With that, he breathed a sigh of defeat and sat down in front of the TV.
'OK, I'll tell you all what I got up to, but just this once.'
'Don't make it too long, Kacchan. Ectoplasm could kick Camie out anytime.'
'Was that my goddamn plan, Jamming-whey?!'
