"Alright." Aizawa started, "Present Mic has gone to pick Midoriya up, and they should be back in around two hours, just giving you guys a heads up."

"Uh... Aizawa-sensei... are you sure that we should start? Iida and Shinsou aren't here." Kirishima asked.

"They went with Mic to pick Midoriya up. We figured it'd be better if there were people that Midoriya is more familiar with." Aizawa replied, "So, normal rules apply, don't jump out at him or scare him. At the moment, he still needs to rest, but the walls are soundproof, so you guys should be able to blast music at a reasonable volume and not disturb anyone else, so I don't think you'd be bothering him too much. Don't overwhelm him for the moment, and just treat him how you usually would. Also, start thinking about meals. UA's buying dinner for the students today, and while lunch will be cooked by Lunch Rush as per normal, you guys would have to figure out dinner yourselves, as well as lunch on weekends. That's it, go back and finish unpacking. School starts tomorrow, so you guys should sleep early too."

"I have a question." Ashido curiously pointed to a corridor which led to a door, "We saw some link bridges outside, and then there's this door... where does it lead to?"

Aizawa sighed, "The 1-B dorms are over there. The staff thought that it'd be better if the hero course students interacted with each other more outside of joint training exercises, seeing as you'll all be working together in the future. Everyone is unpacking at the moment, so don't go and bother them just yet."

There was a chorus of replies, before the rest of the 1-A students went back to their rooms to finish unpacking.


"Ahh.. I'm so tired..." Kirishima groaned, sinking down into the sofa.

"Is everyone done unpacking?" Yaoyorozu asked, and Kaminari replied, "I just finished."

"I still have a box of stuff that I haven't unpacked, but they just contain stuff I don't usually need." Kaminari shrugged, "It's not urgent. Plus, Midoriya's coming back soon, that's more important."

There was a knock on the door in the corridor, and Yaoyorozu walked over, opening it, revealing several members of 1-B.

"Oh, hi, Kendo." Yaoyorozu greeted, and the orange haired girl grinned, "Hello. Vlad King-sensei told us that Midoriya was coming back soon, so we figured that we'd pop over and welcome him back."

Yaoyorozu stepped aside, letting the 1-B members into the 1-A dorms, and Monoma looked around, "Hmm... not bad... but the 1-B common rooms still look -"

Kendo smacked him on the back of his head, and Awase and Komori snickered.

"Quit it already, Monoma..." Kendo groaned, "You do know that 1-A didn't furnish the common room, right?"

"I guess he... really... hates us?" Sato sweatdropped, and Tsuburaba laughed, "Nah. He's just eager to prove himself, aren't we all?"

"But putting others down isn't manly at all, Monoma." Tetsutetsu sighed, before spotting Kirishima, "Bro!"

Kirishima grinned, walking over to fist bump Tetsutetsu, "Bro! Sup! You finished unpacking?"

"Yep! You?"

"Of course! If I don't unpack today, then I'd have to put it off until later, and that's not manly at all!"

"I know, right?"

Bakugou stood up and yelled, "Shut up, Shitty Hair and Metal Shitty Clone!"

"Dude, chill." Ashido laughed, pushing Bakugou back into the sofa and ruffling his hair.

Bakugou shoved her hand off, growling, "Don't touch my hair, Pinky!"

Shishida looked around the room, "I'm quite surprised that all of us can fit in the common room. I thought it'd be too cramped."

Shoji nodded, before Jiro perked up, "I hear a car. It must be them."

"Should we open the door? Or uh... let them come in on their own?" Ojiro asked, as Kodai shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe isn't not them?"

They could hear the sounds of a car door opening, and there was knock on the door.


"Alright, we're here." Yamada grinned, switching off the engine. He quickly turned around, spotting Shinsou staring at his phone with Midoriya leaning on his shoulder. He snickered, before taking out his phone and snapping a picture while Shinsou was distracted.

"Hizashi-san! That's not polite!" Iida berated, catching Shinsou's attention but Yamada merely snickered, "It's cute, though."

Shinsou caught sight of the phone, and sighed, "We're here?"

"Yep." Yamada nodded, and Shinsou lightly nudged Midoriya, waking the boy up, "Midoriya, we're back at UA."

Midoriya opened his eyes, blinking, before realising that he had been leaning on Shinsou and promptly straightened up.

"...sorry..." He mumbled, and Shinsou let out a small chuckle, "It's fine. Don't worry about it too much."

Shinsou exited the car, as Reiko purred, and jumped out of the car before proceeding to stretch. Ryuto had flown out to peck at the ground, and Midoriya got out of the car and closed the door behind him.

"I need to go for a last minute shift change, you guys will be okay on your own?" Yamada asked, and Iida nodded, "Of course!"

The Voice Hero shot them a grin, before revving up the engine again and driving off. Shinsou and Midoriya followed Iida as the blue haired boy marched up to the door, knocking a couple of times before pushing it open.

Kirishima leaned back from where he was standing, watching as Iida held the door for Shinsou and Midoriya to enter, before grinning, "Midoriya! You're back!"

Midoriya blinked at him in confusion, as Hagakure heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness you're okay. When I heard that you were kidnapped after fighting Muscular, I nearly had a heart attack."

"Wait, he fought who?!" Awase nearly screeched, as Midoriya gazed at his classmatea tiredly as they welcomed him back.

"How things ended up this way weren't great, but it's kind of exciting to live together, isn't it?" Kaminari grinned, "You've been living here for quite some time, haven't you, Midoriya? You must be pretty lonely sometimes, living on your own."

Reiko stalked over to him, and lightly scratched at his leg, looking unamused, as Ryuto landed on Kaminari's shoulder and pecked at his cheek, and Kaminari laughed, "Sorry, sorry, I forgot that you also live with two awesome animals!"

Midoriya shrunk back behind Shinsou, unused to all the attention, and Iida glanced at him, before speaking up, "Living together is also training to help us learn cooperation and discipline!"

Kirishima grinned, "That's super manly, ain't it!?"

"Hey, hey, Iida, Shinsou, are you guys all done with your rooms?" Ashido asked, waiting for the two boys to nod, before grinning, "Well.. the girls were talking just now, uh, except Tsu... she said she was tired, and we have an idea!"

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Hagakure chimed in, "Want to have a room presentation contest?"

"Huh?" Shinsou blinked, "I have no problems with it... are we just going to be doing just 1-A or is 1-B included as well?"

"Well... I don't mind people looking at my room..." Tokage mumbled, before perking up, "I think a room presentation contest is a great idea! Look at mine first!"

Shinsou turned around to look at Midoriya as the students stood up, chattering excitedly as they headed to the 1-B dorms, "Do you want to join, or do you want to go back and rest?"


Midoriya stifled a yawn as he trudged back to the 1-A dorms behind his classmates.

They had already finished the tour of the 1-B dorms; Tokage had a pet iguana, and many stuffed dinosaur plushies, and Shishida had several spare glasses on a shelf. Kodai owned many matryoshka dolls, while Kamakiri's room had many framed bugs and insects, eliciting a scream from Koda. Bondo had many small, delicate plastic models lining his shelves, and Kuroiro's room was dark, the only light being from the plastic candles littered around the room that emitted an eerie green glow.

Midoriya blinked in confusion. The room was so dark, it wasn't practical at all to do work. Or maybe Kuroiro could see well in the dark; his quirk did require him to travel through shadows and black items, after all.

Komori's room had many plant pots, each with different varieties of mushrooms growing within them, and Rin's room had many dragon figurines, as well as posters with chinese proverbs, though no one knew how to read chinese and just took his word for it. Awase's room was pretty simple, though his desk was filled with screwdrivers, wrenches and other tools, and Kaibara's room had many beautiful photographs framed and hung up on his wall.

Shoda apparently owned a pair of boxing gloves, though he admitted that he had never used before. Kendo's room was filled with motorcycle figurines, and Tetsutetsu's room was covered in manly posters, and there was a punching bag in the middle of his room.

"It looks like it will rank around the second for a room you don't want your boyfriend to have." Hagakure commented.

"Hey! Really manly room, bro!" Kirishima yelled, and he fist bumped Tetsutetsu. The steel boy grinned, and returned the fist bump.

"Who wants to bet that Kiri's room looks exactly like this?" Ashido asked.

"Shut up Pinky. No one asked for your opinion." Bakugou growled, and Todoroki responded, "Well, no one asked for yours either."

Fukidashi and Monoma's rooms were pretty similar; they both owned a ton of mangas and comics, and several notebooks for onomatopoeias and quirk usages respectively. Shiozaki's room was filled with several religious artifacts, and Jiro had to stab Kaminari in the ear with an earphone jack when he asked why there was a figure of a man nailed to a cross. Tsunotori's room was filled with anime posters, and compared to all the other rooms, Tsuburabu, Yagani and Honenuki's rooms paled in comparison, looking pretty normal.

The students had decided to start with the fifth floor first, and slowly made their way down.

"Well…. I might have miscalculated." Yaoyorozu sheepishly laughed, "While yours are all filled with originality, mine became a little... cramped."

"Well... a little cramped is quite an understatement…." Kuroiro blinked, looking at the humongous poster bed that took up most of the space in the room.

"What happened!?" Kaminari gawked, "I know you're rich and you own a huge house but... "

"Well… it's the furniture that I was using normally at home… but I didn't think that my room would be this small…" She muttered, "My closet is around the size of the room."

1-A, minus Mineta, had already visited Yaoyorozu's house, but the 1-B students were stunned at her statement. Asui's room was also on the same floor, but no one bothered her since she had mentioned earlier that she was tired.

Shoji's room was pretty empty, containing just a small table and a mattress.

"There's nothing interesting here." Shoji commented.

"Nothing interesting!?" Mineta asked incredulously, before poking around under his mattress, but the much taller boy picked him up and threw him out of the room, "Stop touching my stuff."

"Well… I didn't know you were a minimalist." Todoroki said.

"Well… I never really liked having a lot of things." Shoji shrugged, "I knock them over way to easily."

Sato's room had an oven in it, as well as a shelf full of cooking utensils, and a fridge full of fresh ingredients.

"I have a cake that's baking now. It should be done by the time we're done with this room presentation thing." Sato commented, sweat dropping as Hagakure and Ashido literally pushed Tokoyami out of the way of his room door, flinging the room door open.

"So black! Scary!"

Tokoyami's room was dark, save for some eerie purple torches, and his dresser was covered in skulls.

"Oh! I bought this keychain in middle school!" Kirishima exclaimed, looking at a sword leaning against the wall, and Tetsutetsu grinned, "Really? Me too!"

"Get out!" Tokoyami growled, as Shinsou and Kaminari laughed.

Kaminari's room was... random. There was a box tucked under his bed, and his desk was covered in hats and video games. Yanagi carefully used her quirk to move the basketball lying carelessly on the ground to a corner. Sero's room had a hammock in it, and Hagakure squealed, "Asian! Lovely!"

"Wow! I've always wanted to try one!" Tokage grinned, flinging herself onto the hammock, "Not bad!"

"I didn't know you were into stuff like this." Jiro commented, admiring the room, as Sero smiled, "Yup! That's me! Always expect the unexpected!"

Kirishima's room was exactly like Tetsutetsu's; the resemblance really was unsettling, to be honest, though Tetsutetsu and Kirishima looked so happy that no one brought it up. Bakugou's room was filled with All Might posters, as well as several revision guides, some cookbooks, and there was a ball of yarn and knitting needles on his table.

"What?! The old hag makes me knit! Are you extras done? Done." He slammed his door shut.

Ashido's room was pink, and everything she owned was in some shade of pink or purple. Hagakure's room was pink as well, like Ashido's, but in a much lighter shade of baby pink. Aoyoma's room had a disco ball hanging from the ceiling, and he even owned a suit of armour, for some reason.

"It's Todoroki's room next, right?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"Hurry up and get this over with. I want to sleep." Todoroki sighed, pushing his door open.

"Woah!" Tokage gaped, gawking at the tatami on the ground.

"Eh!?" Tsuburaba exclaimed, "A japanese style room!? Why is it so different from ours!? Was yours built differently?"

"We have tatami at some, so I can't relax on flooring." Todoroki responded blankly.

"Who cares about why! How did you remodel it in a day?" Sero yelped.

"I worked hard." Todoroki replied, as everyone unanimously agreed to skip Mineta's room without even saying a word. Ojiro's room was pretty plain, and Kendo asked, "Does your tail get in the way of you sleeping?"

"Not really." Ojiro shrugged, "I'm used to sleeping face down or on my side."

"Next is Jiro's room!" Hagakure cheered, and pushed her room door open, staring at the instruments all over Jiro's room, "Woah! There's so many instruments!"

"Can you play all of this!?" Awase asked.

"Well… I do know the basics…" Jiro replied, "My parents both have music themed professions... and I just... got into it as well."

"It's not girly at all, but I approve! So manly!" Tetsutetsu stuck his thumb up in approval.

Uraraka's room was next, and she said sheepishly, "Well… My room isn't very interesting…" Her room was very plain, with just the bare necessities like a bed, a table, a small television and a fan. Iida's room was next, and he owned almost three times the number of glasses, and books, that Shishida owned.

"There is nothing strange here!" Iida eagerly spoke up.

"So many glasses!" Uraraka picked up one of Iida's spares, putting them on and looking at her own reflection in a mirror, before bursting out in laughter.

"What's wrong with that?! I expect them to be broken during our intense training!" Iida retorted, as Uraraka took it off and grinned at Midoriya, "Here! You try!"

Uraraka gently placed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and Midoriya blinked, trying to adjust to the new, unfamiliar weight on his nose, but not liking how fuzzy it made his vision.

"Aww! You look so cute!" Ashido gushed, but Uraraka promptly took the glasses of his face, seeing Midoriya's discomfort.

Koda's room had a small pen, and Hagakure crouched down to stroke his pet rabbit, "It's adorable!"

"It's not fair to have a pet." Kaminari grumbled, as they moved on to Shinsou's room, deciding to leave Midoriya's room for last to give him time to think, "You're doing this on purpose!"

Shinsou had a couple of cat plushies sitting on his shelf, and his laptop and headphones were on his bed.

"Hey... Midoriya, your room is the last, do you mind letting us see?" Monoma asked, and Midoriya blankly stared at the floor, before nodding slowly.

"Awesome!" Ashido grinned, turning the knob, and flinging open the door.

Midoriya's bed didn't have a blanket on it, and his multiple hard drivers were sitting piled neatly under his desk, looking like they could fall apart at any moment. His laptop on the ground, it's screen and keyboard pried off, and pile of junk sitting in the corner of his room, along with a couple other broken laptops.

The most notable thing in Midoriya's room was a metallic mask, and something that looked like a small shield sitting on his desk. Shinsou had noticed them, but he didn't want to touch Midoriya's stuff. There were also a couple of screws and bolts lying all over his table, and soldering irons that looked like it came from a junkyard.

"What's that?" Tokage muttered, picking up the mask, and putting it on, "Hello?"

"What's those knobs for?" Sero asked curiously, turning the larger knob, and Tokage spoke again, her voice much deeper this time, "Can you hear me - Woah! My voice changed!"

"And there's no electricity input!" Awase's eyes lit up, "Awesome! Where'd you get it from?"

Monoma spotted a few pieces of paper strewn on his table, and his picked them up, admiring the neat and clean lines on the blueprint. The mask was apparently a voice changer that contained several plates that changed how soundwaves resonated, effectively allowing anyone to change how they sound, and the shield looking device wasn't a shield at all; it was a device that shot out metallic disks that attracted electricity, allowing someone to discharge electricity in a straight line thanks to the scope attached on top.

Tetsutetsu and Kirishima leaned over to take a look, and Monoma spotted a small "Version 14" written in the corner, and he picked up a few more pieces of paper, realising that all of them had some sort of version number written in the corners, and eraser marks were visible on some of the earlier versions of the blueprint.

It finally dawned on him.

Monoma whirled around, facing Midoriya, who was standing at the doorway with Todoroki, Iida, and Shinsou, "Midoriya, did you design this yourself? And you also managed to build them?"

Everyone turned to Midoriya, who shrank back slightly, though it wasn't noticeable to anyone who didn't know him well. He nodded nervously, and Yaoyorozu looked at Midoriya in awe, "That's amazing, Midoriya! But where'd you get all the materials for these?"

Reiko meowed, and Kaibara translated Koda's signing, "You recycled them from Dagobah Municipal Beach Park, disinfected them, and used them to make these? Nice."

"Uh... no offence, this is really manly, but you don't talk a lot, nor can you shoot out electricity... so why did you make these?" Tetsutetsu asked, as Sero and Tokage continued to fool around with the voice changer.

Reiko jumped onto the bed, before leaping up onto Midoriya's shelf. She sniffed around, before pulling out a notebook. She gracefully jumped back onto the bed, and flipped it open, careful not to rip any pages with her claws, before stopping at a page. She meowed, gaining Uraraka's attention, before pawing at a section which contained a rough sketch of the mask, and the brown haired girl, picked it up, reading aloud.

"Shinsou's quirk allows him to control anyone who responds his statements. It may be easier for him to control other people if he sounds similar to someone that the target is familiar with. Unknown if his quirk works through electronics like microphones or loudspeakers, but this makes them weak to EMPs and electric quirks, and also runs the risk of running out of power, and is not eco-friendly. Altering resonance with plates should achieve a voice changing effect, but can't change volume yet without the device becoming too bulky and obvious. Need to think more."

Shinsou blinked; damn, Midoriya thought the entire thing through. He knew Midoriya was good at quirk analysis, but also good enough to make support items? They were just prototypes, yes, but still, that was amazing.

Uraraka flipped a couple more pages, finding the sketch that looked like the other electricity pointing device.

"Kaminari cannot control the direction of the electricity energy he releases, running the risk of injuring allies. Shooting metal projectiles to attract and concentrate his electricity theoretically should allow him to shock only those between Kaminari and the projectile. Allowing him to direct his electricity properly not only makes it safer for his allies, but also decreases the amount of electricity released, resulting in less wasted electricity and a lower chance of Kaminari short circuiting himself. Not sure about insulated materials, maybe sharp projectiles?"

Kaminari was literally squealing, and would have leapt at Midoriya to give him a hug, "Midoriya, you're so awesome! Thank you so much!"

Midoriya visibly flinched back as Kaminari got close, and Shinsou moved in front of Midoriya as Jiro grabbed onto Kaminari and pulled him away, "Dammit, you idiot, calm down! He just got out of the hospital!"

"Hey... it's pretty late... and we still have lessons tomorrow." Yaoyorozu stated, subtly telling everyone to get out of Midoriya's room and to give him some peace and quiet, "Sato already left to go get his cake, and it's a shame that you can't eat it at the moment. We can always ask him to bake another one when you've recovered sufficiently. We're going to be doing the voting now, would you like to join us?"

Midoriya wearily shook his head, and Yaoyorozu gave him a small smile, "Alright, then. Have a nice rest, Midoriya."

Iida pat him on the back, "I need to make sure they don't break anything. If you need help with anything, just tell us, alright?"

The green haired boy waited until his classmates left, before making his way to the bathroom. He slowly picked up his cup and filled it with water, before hesitantly reaching for his toothbrush, ignoring the pain that jolted through his arm, gently squeezing the toothpaste out by pressing the toothpaste tube against the sink counter with his palm.

Now for the hard part; actually brushing his damned teeth.

Midoriya carefully brought the cup to his mouth, spitting the water out after a few seconds, before he tightened his grip around his toothbrush, and raised it to his mouth. He slowly brushed his teeth, ignoring the searing pain that flared through his body; the damned painkillers were probably wearing off. Midoriya quickly rinsed his mouth and washed his face before he threw himself onto the bed, his entire body aching with every movement.

But he was safe, finally.

Back in UA, back in the dorms, back in his room. No more villains, no more heroes, no more hospitals; he'd just deal with all that bullshit tomorrow.

Reiko and Ryuto hopped up onto his bed to join him, and Midoriya curled up around them.

He had never fallen asleep so quickly.


Shinsou yawned, trudging back to his room. The girls had taken quite some time to sort out the voting; there was a best girl's room, best boy's room, a best 1-A room, a best 1-B room, and all sorts of other category. Not to mention that they had to sort through thirty nine votes for each category. The best part of it was Sato's cake, though; it was really tasty. There wasn't enough to go around, but Sato mentioned that he would bake more often when he had time, so there was that.

"Good night." Uraraka said, she and Jiro turning to the girls side of the dorms, and Iida, Shinsou and Koda walked back to their rooms as the 1-B students returned to their dorms and the other 1-A students made their way upstairs.

Midoriya's door was still open, and his lights were still left on, oddly enough.

Iida, Shinsou and Koda quietly walked over to his room and peeked in, finding Midoriya fast asleep on his bed, curled up around Reiko and Ryuto. Reiko shifted slightly, before settling down again.

Koda quietly walked in, switching off the bathroom lights and closing the bathroom door, before flipping the lights off in Midoriya's room, throwing the room into darkness. He closed the door behind him, and Shinsou sighed, "He's tired. No surprise there. Let's go sleep. We still need to go to lessons tomorrow."
