So yeah, I saw Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. It was a pretty good movie, not perfect, not horrible, it was okay.
I'm saying this because My Hero Academia has a shit-ton of Star Wars references and I figured I'd just add this in.
After a straight week of studying together, the members of Class 1-A all felt like they did good on the Written Portion of the Final Exams. Currently, Izuku was having lunch with Ochako, Shanks II, Kaido II, Ben, Hinata, Penny, and Violet. Eri, Nezuko, and Kanna were eating with them and Hinata was feeding Eri some caramel apple slices while Kanna ate a large bowl of white rice and Nezuko ate a large Salisbury Steak.
"Man, that test was easier than I thought it was gonna be! I'm glad Yao-Momo helped us all out with tutoring!" Shanks II said while chewing on a leg of ham.
"Yeah, our dad's probably wouldn't have been much help. They are brave heroes but they are hopeless at academics." Kaido II stated as he slurped up some Beef Ramen.
"I wonder how the Practical half of our Finals is gonna go though..." Violet wondered while digging through her mashed potatoes with gravy. Penny was just drinking some juice through a swivel straw while not having a care in the world.
"Oh, hey guys!" Izuku smiled and turned to see Itsuka and Hitoshi there.
"Oh hey Shinsho! How's being in Class 1-B working for ya?"
The Indigo-Haired Brainwasher shrugged. "Not too bad. Everyone was glad to have me in place of that Monoma prick. Heard he got expelled for attacking Midnight and threatening you at the Sports Festival."
"Yeah, wish we could just put that guy on death row. A scumbag like him just rubs me the wrong way." Kaido II growled as he cracked his knuckles.
"Anyway, we heard you guys were talking about the Practical half of the Finals. I think an upperclassman told me that it was gonna be like the Entrance Exam almost."
"Sadly. we won't be taking the same Final Exam as you guys. But we wish you luck either way." Hitoshi said with a small smile as the group nodded and returned to their food and conversations as Ben looked at Itsuka and Hitoshi retreating forms, the former turning to notice him and giving a reassuring smile his way.
The time had come for the Practical half of the Finals; The End of Terms Test. Everyone was decked out in their Hero Costumes and were awaiting further instruction from the teachers. Soon, Aizawa, Present Mic, Principal Nedzu, Midnight, Cementoss, Ectoplasm, Power Loader, Thirteen, and Snipe walked up together, with Nedzu tucked snugly in Aizawa's scarf.
"Alright, class! It is time to begin the End of Terms Test! Now be warned that you may fail if you don't try your absolute best. Only those who pass will get the privilege to go to the Summer Training Camp." Nedzu stated before jumping out of Aizawa's scarf and standing in front of the teachers.
"And in order to get a feel of fighting real, experienced opponents, your challengers will be us, the teachers!"
The class all murmured nervously, some of them still a bit inexperienced with combat and the like while Izuku, the New Worst Generation, Ben, Violet, and Karen nodded firmly, already experienced with this sort of thing.
"You will all be in different teams of various members against us. For some of you, we have special guests for you to face off against!" Nedzu announced as a familiar laugh was heard and Toshinori in his All-Might Form crashed down, followed by the Straw Hat Pirates all joining in.
"Yosh! Hope you kids are all ready!" Monkey D. Luffy the Pirate King declared with his signature bright smile. Shanks II looked slightly nervous at the prospect of facing his father but soon smiled, accepting the challenge. Ryuma, Katakiri, and Olivia were in the same boat.
"There is one last challenger that Ben Shigura and Lor D. Kaido will be facing. Basically, she's only one who can hope to match their caliber." Aizawa said with a genuinely nervous expression. Before Ben and Kaido could question it, everyone felt a severe chill as a giant figure loomed over them all.
"Mamamama~. My cute little Godson and the son of that fool All for One facing me? This will be quite the battle!" Cackled Charlotte Linlin, AKA Big Mom of the Big Mom Pirates.
"Whelp, it was nice knowing you two..." Minoru said with genuine sympathy as he patted Ben on the leg. However, the son of the Symbol of Evil showed no fear and Kaido II just had a big, goofy grin on his face.
"Alright, Auntie Linlin! I'm ready for whatever you got!"
"This will be an experience.
As everyone looked at the two like they were crazy, Nedzu showed the rest of the match-ups.

Ochako and Yuuga vs Thirteen

"Are you boys ready?" Toshinori asked Izuku and Katsuki, the two boys just smiled confidently and grabbed their hands, squeezing tightly to show their bond.
"HELL YEAH!
"Me, Recovery Girl, and Class 1-B will be observing with Little Eri, Nezuko, and Kanna. Hopefully, this will also help give my students some pointers for their trials." Vlad King said with a nod while petting Kanna on the head. Itsuka was making silly faces to Eri, who was giggling and Nezuko was sleeping in Jurota Shishida's fur.
"Everyone, head to your assigned locations and we shall begin the tests!" Nedzu announced and everyone did just that. Ben and Kaido II walked side by side with Big Mom as the old Yonko gave the two boys a devious grin, which they returned with cool expressions.
"Let's do this thing."
*Omake Time: Soup Store*
It had been a week since Hitoshi had first joined Class 1-B and he had gotten along with pretty much everyone. Currently, he was at his house trying to figure out a math problem that Ectoplasm assigned him and decided to call Scarlet since she was the closest contact.
"Hello?"
"Hey, what's up?"
"I need your help. Can you come here?"
"I can't. I'm buying clothes."
"Alright, well hurry up and come over here." Hitoshi sighed, tapping his pen against the paper.
"I can't find them."
Hitoshi arched an eyebrow at that. "What do you mean you can't find them?"
"I can't find them. There's only soup."
"What do you mean 'there's only soup'?"
"It means there's only soup."
"Well then get out of the soup aisle!" Hitoshi snapped as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Alright, you don't have to shout at me!"
Hitoshi heard Scarlet moving through the aisles before stopping.
"There's more soup!"
"What do you mean 'there's more soup'?!"
"There's just more soup!"
"Go into the next aisle!"
"There's still soup!"
"Where are you right now?!" Hitoshi cried in anger as he slammed his free hand down on the desk.
"I'm at soup!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE 'AT SOUP'?!"
"I MEAN I'M AT SOUP!"
"WHAT STORE ARE YOU IN?!"
"I'M AT THE SOUP STORE!"
WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE SOUP STORE?!
At that moment in time, both Hitoshi and Scarlet's phones were thrown so far, they crashed into each other and exploded. People began calling it 'The Soup Event' on the news. Needless to say, Hitoshi's parents, as well as Coby and Rebecca, had to give both kids a pretty stern talking to afterward.
Yeah, I couldn't resist using that joke...
Next Time: Triumph in the Finals!
