[A/N My friend told me to leave a cliffhanger every once in a while. So I had made a cliffhanger, but cliffhangers are always the best punchlines… Also I apologize for really letting my grammar go the last bit of last chapter. I got reminded post release, and let's just say that is never happening again I promise you.]

In front of us was an elderly lady in a bright green wetsuit. Deku greets her, "Hello Tsu, I heard you needed some hero help?"

"Yeah, my humble backyard garden needs weeding again." She lead the lot of us to what our gardening assignment would be. We were all expecting a little flower garden for an old lady, an average Boy Scout assignment. What did we get? Not a flower garden.

It was all rice fields as far as the eye could see. However this was not even an average boring looking rice field. No, I don't know what happened to this rice field, like not a clue. It had just about every monstrous thing imaginable. Twenty foot crocodiles swam along contently as they were unbothered by the thousands of mosquitos flying around that were the size of my head. Is anything normal in this place? I may die of a heart attack before 20 at this rate.

"Oh seems I missed spring cleaning." Tsu said absent-mindedly. Billy looks at her from the side, with a lot of the white of his eyes showing. "You think?"

"Could you do that for me? I'd rather they get taken care of while they're still small fries."

We watch an innocent bird fly into the swarm of giant mosquitoes and come out the other side dead and dry. It fell from its high perch and into the mouth of an all too appeased gator. The entire class backed up a tad from this, and we wanted to go back to the dilapidated shack that was now home.

Billy being the wiseguy that he is, asked Bakugo if he had any bug dope. "Bug dope!" Bakugo yelled. "Sure I have bug dope!"

We knew what was coming, and we ducked our heads and covered our ears. "SHINEEEE!" The swarm of mosquitoes became a bright orange blaze and the area soon smelled like burning. The crocodiles were just having an absolute bar-be-que while we watched on in disgust. One of their ashen bodies dropped by my foot, and I was horrified to find that the mosquito was larger. I just want to go home.

"Now how are we going to take care of the crocodiles?" I asked, as this was certainly a perplexing task.

Rex looked straight at me, "I don't know, this is an eat or be eaten world."

A muffled voice came from the topside of FroBro. "Did I just hear food."

The class looked straight at his hair in horror, but Deku and Bakugo already knew what was up. "Eat away" Bakugo said, knowing how entertaining this was going to be.

Fro's entire body was taken over by his thick black hair, to the point where we couldn't see him anymore. He had decided to let the demon slake his appetite while it was socially acceptable. Two pony tails emerged from the back of his body and he used them as a pair of stilts to cross the water. The crocodiles cornered in around him, their mistake.

Of course they were simple beasts that went for the first inkling of food available. I felt it from the distance, but it was undoubtably worse for the crocodiles, directed at them even. I don't know how to say it, but Afromei had an aura that produced psychedelic trips. For us we felt slightly nautious, on edge. We could feel a slight buzz from his power.

The crocodiles were another story however. They went belly up instantly, too tripped up to even swim anymore. They sunk right to the bottom of the patty wherever that was. Once Afromei was convinced it wasn't a fight anymore we saw him go down into the bottom. Then all we saw was the bubbles of a struggle and Fro rise up from the water, with his afro belching.

We all officially decided not to mess with Fro.

Unfortunately, however that marked the exciting portion of "spring cleaning". I looked at the rice field, and the water, and figured that it couldn't possibly be that deep. I took the first step off dry land and sunk in to my neck.

Kade then decided to follow me into the water, but his feet actually moved so fast that he couldn't sink. He tried weeding the garden but it was difficult for him. Tsu told him to lean over, which he did. He then fell over horizontal to the water, and his legs worked like a motorboat engine as he gunned straight to the far end of the patty. Did we bother to rescue him? No.

The rest of the class decided to cannonball right into the rice patty, and then even my head wasn't dry anymore. Deku decided to use this chance as an educational opportunity.

"Alright class, this is an educational opportunity. You need to learn each other's quirks, and your quirks will likely make this task shorter. Even get it done before sunrise tomorrow if you hurry."

We started weeding at a slow pace, not really wanting to waste too much energy on this. Maybe if we slacked off we would get to go home. Of course, I Dirran didn't think this, but I couldn't really use my overclock in the water without boiling everyone else. I didn't want to do that.

The midafternoon sun slowly dragged down as we weeded for what felt like an eternity. We didn't bother talking to the new kids, and the new kids didn't bother talking to us. The three elderly people just sat in their lawn chairs and either gazed out bored or napped.

Thankfully for us, our bodies were used to the rough Vermont gardening, and working through the rough soil. Most places refer to it as bedrock. However, being neck deep in water was a new experience for our gardening, and not a particularly welcome one. Especially as the sun went down, and the heat that had plagued us all day suddenly disappeared.

Blue lips and all we pressed on at a snails pace. Until I decided that everybody could use some warmth in their night, just a little sauna. Noticing that all three of the adults were fast asleep in their chair I called over everybody in a whisper. I told them about the sauna concept, and even their goosebumps nodded in agreement.

Fortunatly for me my regular body temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit. One degree is one percent of my temperature, so heating things with my power is no problem. I turned it up to 125 soothing the cold extremities of my body, and breathing life into everyone else's cold dead limbs. We treaded water, and finally we decided to discuss things as a class.

"Who are you four? I asked.

The one that looked like he was from the Italian mob spoke first, with an arrogant expression. "I am Richard."

Then the stocky one said, "Dick."

Richard or Dick did not take kindly to this, "Why do you keep calling me Dick? I didn't choose that nickname."

The tall muscular one chimed in with a mutter. "I dunno, matches the personality."

I happen to look around, "Hey where did the fourth one go?"

The muscular one grabs a hold of a black cattail hanging out of the water and pulls out the fourth member.

"We're having a conversation silly, you can't drown yourself now."

"Ugh, people."

"Sorry about that, Pat's not really a people person."

"Er… Why does he have a cattail?"

"Well his quirk allows him to change any and all parts of his body to an animal equivalent. We had to negotiate for him to not keep the ears."

"Er… Alright. So how about the big dude?"

"Me name Jo."

Dick looked at me and said, "He gained most of the attributes of a rock. Some even argue thee Rock. Unfortunately brain tissue was one inherited asset."

Jo looked at him again, "Dick."

The stocky one with the patchwork said, "I'm West. My ability allows me to summon any gun I want."

"Ammunition?"

"My body."

"What? How can your body be ammunition?"

"It's all detachable, see?" As he said this, he handed me his finger, the ring finger to be precise. I accidently threw it in shock and disgust. It landed in the water with a plop, and I look to him horrified and mortified.

"I'm soo sorry." I say tears forming in my eyes so weirded out by the situation. West just looked at me nonchalantly and said, "Do you want to see something else cool?"

"Boop" He blurted out as his finger came flying back onto his hand, looking like it had never detached in the first place. Our entire class looks at his binger with some kind of surprise, and then the shyness happened to disappear as they all wanted to play with this super neat power. Next thing you know body parts are flying everywhere. West stood there, now the one being mortified as he watched his body fly all over the place.

I looked over to Dick, and realized that he is one that nobody knows his quirk.

"What's your quirk, Dick?"

"That's need to know, and you don't need to know."

"Fine, Dick."

"Can you call me Richard?"

"Fine, Richard."

"Thank y…"

"Dick."

"Aargh."

One of the new kids asked what everybody and their quirks were about. It was a long story so they all settled in at this little sauna that I happened to create. Everyone was boisterous once they had a little warmth and comfort. We could afford to spend a while the adults were asleep, heck, they were the ones that trapped us in the miserable situation to begin with.

We bonded, we got to learn more about our colleagues that we were going to spend the rest of our lives with, and I think we actually were starting to have fun neck deep in a rice patty at 2 A.M. That was until some fool decided to ask everyone's opinion on Tsu.

Billy straight up called her a hag. Little did we know but exactly on that word, Tsu's eyes snapped open suddenly. Next moment we know Billy had a tongue wrapped all of the way around him. With a pull Billy was submerged face-first in the water, and Tsu was there to pick him up by the collar.

"Croak. Do you know how hard it is for a frog to age?"

Billy gulped, this elderly woman was more intimidating than Stain, and in some ways even Bakugo. "You're a frog?"

"Half way, but that's not a question you ask a lady."

"You're a lady?"

Next thing we knew Billy was flung from Tsu's tongue with astounding speed, and we heard his screams as he flew through the air. The muffled crash in the distance didn't really sound like he hit water. At that moment I felt really uncomfortable, and when I start feeling uncomfortable the water starts getting warm.

My overclock spiked, and everyone suddenly felt the sensation of the water at a near boil. After the several minutes of using low-key overclock I felt exhausted, so everyone was burnt in the water as I fell in face first.

I awoke on the shore, most of the class looking down at me, and Tsu right by my side. She had rescued me from drowning in the water. I look over to her weakly muttering, "How's Billy."

In the distance the loud yell of "Gah damn it!" sounded. Immediately after was the sound of trees being knocked over. Tsu turned her gaze back to me after the sound died off, "Fine."

Bakugo walked over, obviously displeased about waking up from his nap early. His fiery eyes were seen glassy and dull, but still not to be trifled with. "So how was your guys little chat."

Rex looked right at him, "It was just fine, how was you old folks little nap?"

Instead of a dramatic reaction Bakugo just said, "Touché."

Then he begins to speak. "Well you guys actually passed your little test. We thought that there would be no better time to bond then with us mean old folks."

Deku wakes up, "Actually Bakugo, their test isn't over yet. We'll have to see how they get the job done together in the morning. A job like this would require the best teamwork imaginable." He gives us a wink before sending us off to bed underneath the stars.

We didn't waste any time crashing on the grass for the night, letting the warm summer's breeze dry off our clothes as we quickly fell asleep under the visage of the faintly gleaming stars. Never has there been such a calm blissful sleep, especially given the situation.

Bakugo didn't even give us the iron pan wake up treatment. Billy and Kade were also retrieved and joined in our slumber. Everyone else had woken up long before me, who woke up around noon. They all waited and lollygagged until I woke up, knowing that it was because of the overclock. Once I woke up, I instantly felt better, the words that Deku spoke the previous night sticking through.

The purpose of the exercise suddenly made sense and clicked with me. Even as bad as it may seem, as pitiful and a fruitless activity it may be, it's only as useful as we allow it to be. There are 11 of us and we just act on our own impulses. If we're going to be teammates this will become pointless.

My brain chugged in a matter unlike it ever had. Everyone's abilities made sense, and how they could be paired with my own limitations. A plan was starting to form.

"Fro, can your hair hold kids without eating them?"

"I'll make Afromei behave."

"Good, stand in the middle and swing the kids around, giving them just enough time to weed their area. Do it in an orderly fashion."

"Rex and Aushrin, take Jo with you. Handle that small patch as best as possible."

"Kade, your next. The kids will toss their bundles of weeds in the air, and I need you to catch them and pile them out of the way."

I look at Pat last. "Can you grow wings?"

"Um… Yeah, I can."

"Great I'm going to need you to fly me to the far edge. I'll give you instructions in air."

Pat suddenly sprouted these majestic eagle wings with a span easily of eight feet. He then grabbed me with gorilla arms that he made to give himself more strength. With a swoop and a burst of wind, the pond was already high above me. This is good, I'll need the exhilaration. My heart pounded in preparedness, I couldn't think of any other way to finish this quickly.

"You'll see me float to the surface soon enough Pat. Use a crab claw to avoid the heat, and pick me up by my collar."

I made myself free of his grip and just started falling. Despite the wind in my face the temperature was already starting to rise. This was something that I only pulled out for special situations. When I'm on the top of my thought, and I see no other major option.

I look at the 500% at the corner of my vision, and I straighten out my land. It was very ungraceful, parting the water in it's wake. Exactly as I planned. I pictured the weeds in my mind, knowing that I'll only have second at best.

Everything else was a flash, blinking across half of the pond, going everywhere and pulling up weeds faster then I can notice. Next thing I knew I was tossing up around 100 pounds of weeds as I fell the ground.

My consciousness faded just as the water enclosed around me. Pat reached for me with a crab claw just as I had told him to, and pulled me straight from the boiling water. He then flew me back to the shore as everyone stared up in amazement. For them it was little more then a second, a splash and an explosion of heat from far away.

He laid me right in front of the adults, who looked down on my unconscious body with sheer disbelief. Indeed, I had acted on my own, but I made a plan for how everything else happened to go, where everyone would have done their own thing.

Jo came rushing out of the pond and told everyone to get back. "I have other power". No one ever noticed that he wore gloves all of the time. He started to take it off, holding his hand far above his head. His hands were blisteringly cold instantly chilling off my body, and he had to put the gloves back on. I bolt back to life, but severely weakened. "Where the hell that come from?"

"Ice man try kill Jo. Jo now have cold hands."

Fro brought Sky over to sing for me and heal me. It was a really interesting time, because it was some alternative rock song she was singing. Afterwards, she had her signature opinion. I was fully healed and she backhanded me on the cheek.

"That's for you doing something stupid."

I kind of just sat and relaxed while the people finished up their tasks, it probably wasn't more then a half hour with their new strategies. Deku walked up behind me saying, "You get it."

"That we're a big old band of idiots, but if we want to succeed we have to think together as a big band of idiots."

"That's not how I would have worded it, but yes."

They wrapped up, all of us were tired and in a very grumpy mood. However, at the same time we felt a kind of satisfaction that this huge task was done. Jo even set the dried off pile of weeds on fire and started cheering and dancing around it. Apparently, he didn't really care that it was a 90-degree day.

Then the adults called for silence, and called for us to pay attention to them. Tsu was the first to talk.

"I brought snacks for everybody."

The cheers from our starved masses were enough to compete with Bakugo. That was until we learned that it was a single serve bag of chips, and a 99 cent can of soda. Then as a class we just asked if we could go home.

Deku promised us that we had a debriefing to listen to after we rested, ate, and recovered. We were willing to take that deal, and nobody paid heed to Tsu's chips and soda. Afromei just happened to swipe them while no one was eating and had a snack to wash down the crocodiles.

We were ready to go home, our biggest task endured, and as a full class. We learned so much on the most miserable job ever, so much so that it's a good memory to this day. That day of misery prepared us for what we'd encounter for the rest of our lives, and let me tell you, our education didn't last much longer than that until we went into the real world.

[ A/N I'm so pleased that I've had the time to actually write again. Don't expect any more 3k word chapters from me, but the next time I know a chapter will be a project, I'll split it into parts. Only if they happen to be 5k word chapters, because 2k-3k isn't half bad. Now for the next chapter I won't spoil to much of the fun, but it's going to be a Gyro style graduation, and the learning of the Gyro Aca namesake. See you then, and make sure to review!]
