"Well I guess we're not going back that way," Bakugou said, looking at the hole in the wall they had created that was now surrounded by several students and teachers.

The teachers especially looked confused at the undesirable lack of wall in that one area.

Midoriya hummed, sounding slightly disappointed. "Drats. I was afraid of this."

"You expected them to find it?!"

Midoriya shrugged. "I knew there was a chance."

"Then you also made a plan to get out of here."

Midoriya stayed quiet.

"...you did, right?"

"You do realize I had like 15 minutes and a bus ride to plan the entire successful infiltration of the number 1 hero school."

"But that wasn't enough time to come up with a way out?!" Bakugou hissed.

"Just give me a minute! I'll come up with something!" Midoriya put a hand to his temple in concentration.

"What, like using your good leg to break another hole in the wall?!"

"I got it!"

"That wasn't a suggestion, dumbass."

"No, no, we don't have to do anything like that, we just have to walk out."

Bakugou slapped his head. "Brillant. Why didn't I think of that?"

"Seriously, we just have to go to the gate and walk out. We look like students and no one will bat an eye at two boys leaving school early for- say, a dentist appointment."

"Yeah cuz no one would wonder why we both have dentist appointments at the same time."

"I didn't say it was perfect."

Bakugou paused and thought it over. "You sure this will work? Won't us opening the gate alert the teachers? I don't want rat face knowing we were here."

"Oh, I'm sure he already knows."

"What."

Midoriya laughed. "You didn't think we broke into UA without anyone knowing did you?" He started to walk away, motioning for Bakugou to follow him to the gate.

"Is- is that not what's happening right now?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm flattered, but you can't honestly think that I'm smart enough to outwit the principal of UA, who literally has an intelligence quirk."

Midoriya's reaction made Bakugou feel stupid. He, like most people, did not like feeling stupid so he decided to keep talking. Since his goal was to not feel stupid this was in itself a stupid decision to make considering that they both were aware that Midoriya knew more about UA and its teachers than Bakugou did (he's a bit of a nerd in case you've forgotten). "Yeah? Well, then why the hell are we still here?"

Midoriya shrugged. "I dunno. If I had to guess I'd say that Nedzu used his facial recognition technology and ran it through UA's database. He probably saw that we were the 1st place winners in the entrance exam and got curious as to what we were doing. He might have then watched us through the cameras as we went through the file and is possibly still watching us even now."

Bakugou stared at his friend.

"What? It's just a guess."

"How would he know we were even here in the first place? No one else suspected us."

Midoriya laughed again. "You're kidding, right? There's probably some detection tech at the gate that we tripped coming through, there are cameras all over this place," Midoriya pointed to a few places as they walked. Bakugou couldn't see any cameras but Midoriya seemed fairly confident in his pointing. "-and there is a trail of blood marking our path through the school. I mean that literally, not figuratively." He gestured to his bleeding leg.

Bakugou looked down at it in surprise. "Oh yeah. I kinda forgot about that. We should probably fix that at some point."

"Not till we get back home. I don't want to push our luck by sticking around for an extra five minutes."

"You gonna just look like that for the entire bus ride?"

"Why not?"

"Cuz people will freak out."

"Maybe they should just mind their own business."

Bakugou rolled his eyes. "Fair enough."

Midoriya stopped in front of the gate. "Er…"

"What now."

"Um. How- how do we open it?"

"You have to be KIDDING me!" Bakugou growled. "HOW?! Did you just expect we could open it from the inside?! GAH you are such an IDIOT!"

"This is fine, this is totally fine. I can figure something else out." Midoriya said, his voice a bit panicky. "There must be a button or lever somewhere, right?"

"You can break into UA, no sweat, but this is what freaks you out?!"

"Shut up and let me think!"

"I can't believe I let you convince me to do this. We're gonna get caught and then our careers as heroes will be over and we'll have to become vigilantes and run from the law and All Might's gonna hate us-"

Personally, I don't know what Bakugou was so worried about, becoming vigilantes sounds like an absolute blast. Unfortunately, that is not the route this story is going as Midoriya decided to cut off Bakugou with an idea.

"I got it! Kacchan, throw me over the wall!"

On second thought perhaps they will become vigilantes after all because that was the dumbest idea ever.

"What?! NO! That's the dumbest idea ever!" Bakugou said, just proving my point.

"Do you have a better idea?!"

"Literally anything would be better than-"

There was a click and the gate very slowly started to open.

"Yeah I have a better idea," Bakugou continued. "Let's just go out."

"Hmm. Nedzu must have seen us struggling and decided to help us out."

Bakugou shuddered. "Can we please not talk about that creepy rat watching us?" He looked over his shoulder warily. "It makes me feel… violated."

"You're fine, you big baby," Midoriya said as he strolled out of UA and raised a hand to wave back at the building. "So long Nedzu! See you soon!"

Nedzu leaned back in his chair and watched through the security cameras as Midoriya and Bakugou made their way across campus. He poured a fresh cup of tea as they spoke to Nejire and chuckled as they broke into his filing office. (technically speaking there was no reason to have all those official documents on paper, what with the high tech the school utilized, however, Nedzu found he liked keeping a physical copy of most things "just in case".)

His phone rang just as the two boys started arguing about tying for first place.

Hey, Nedzu-

"Is this about the hole in the wall?"

Huh? Oh, yeah. How did-

"Don't worry about it, I've got the situation under control." Nedzu hung up, the entire time his eyes never left the screen.

The boys left the building and headed back towards the wall finding the students and teachers now gathered around it.

"Now what will you do?" Nedzu muttered to the empty room.

The cameras outside weren't equipped with microphones so the principal attempted to read Midoriya and Bakugou's lips as they walked to the gate. It was quite difficult, even for someone as skilled at the art of lip-reading as Nedzu.

He actually had a medal he had won for lip-reading a few years back in his closet, although that isn't very important.

He managed to pick up the gist of the conversation and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Midoriya had no illusions that his little excursion had gone unnoticed. His pleasantly surprisedness rose a few notches as the boy then went ahead to point out several (although admittedly not all) of his hidden cameras.

Nedzu watched as the two tried to figure out how to surpass the gate. It was quite funny to watch the young boys struggle but eventually, Nedzu took pity on them and opened the gate remotely.

So long Nedzu! See you soon!

How very interesting. Nedzu made a mental note to warn Aizawa of his new 'problem children'. Until then he decided to look more into the two, absolutely giddy with the prospect of having these two as students in his school.

What fun they would have.
