Chapter 5: Bonding

---

"It's not particularly elegant…" Ectoplasm gestured to the blackboard as the Class 1-A listened, "But calculate the integral of this equation. Whoever has the answer, raise your hand."

'Ectoplasm does occasionally get really into his hobby.' Kyoka nibbled her jack softly.

'Even number one student Yaoyorozu has been stumped, huh/' Fumikage glanced at the said student, 'This is truly a question of darkness.' He heard a rapid-fire mumble before he look over to see Izuku going over the problem before the bush-haired boy swiftly stand up with raised hand.

"Midoriya!" The math teacher called out.

"107/14!" Izuku answered.

"Wrong!" Ectoplasm said before Momo stood up with raised hand, "Yaoyorozu!"

"It's 107/28!" Momo answered firmly.

"Correct!" The math teacher nodded, "Let's go to the next pa…"

"Sensei." Naruto suddenly stood up with raised hand, "I have obtained a new quirk…"

"HIT THE DECK!" Ectoplasm dove behind the podium as the students quickly went under their desks, beside Eri who look so confused at their weird behavior, and they wait for something but nothing happen. The math teacher peek up over the podium to stare at Naruto holding a spiraling ball of energy, hovering a little over his palm. "…That's it?" The math teacher release his breath as the students crawl out from under their desks, he's glad that it's not another dangerous quirk and he still can't get over the hair needle incident. "What is it this time?"

"Rasengan quirk." The Noumu said, "It allow me to create sphere of pure energy, the size is variable."

"It look very dazzling and bright." Yuga reach out with index finger, want to feel the surface of the beautiful sphere to see if it's smooth.

"It can grind everything it come into contact with and propel everything in its trajectory in all directions then burst to damage severely at the point of contact." Naruto finished explained and the laser user yanks his finger back before it barely makes a contact.

"N-N-Not dazzling anymore…' The French student sweated heavily at his close call as the Noumu dispel the rasengan safely and the bell rang.

"…Lunch." The math teacher slowly left the class with a exhaust, he'll hate to be his clones to face this rasengan quirk this afternoon for the training. While the Noumu may have increasing numbers of quirks, he need to train individually on each quirks to fully master them. 'Aizawa's right, we're not getting paid enough for this shit.'

"Is it me or is it getting more frequent lately?" Fumikage wondered.

"Oh, that's true." Izuku commented, "They said he was suppose to get new quirks once in a while because of his original quirk and yet he get new ones almost weekly. But so far, they are almost always emitter type and I don't think I have seen him receive any mutant-type quirk."

"Mmm, you're right." The bird-headed teenager rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "It's as if it's preparing him to face something unknown beyond the fabric of our reality."

"That's pretty absurd, isn't it?" Hanta sweatdropped at him.

"When we become pro heroes, let's form a team, tooooo!" Mina was hyped because she happened to find a Lurkers site about team up as everyone pick their costumes up, "Ochaco, you'll make me float, okay? And I'll make it rain acid!"

"Isn't that a bit harsh?" Ochaco muttered.

"And I can get a boost from Sero's tape!" The acid user continued.

"What are you talking about?" Hanta glanced slightly at her.

"Koda, Shoji and Jiro will do reconnaissance!" Mina grinned, "Team Rainy Day!"

"Woo." The rocker cheered flatly with no emotion, raised her fist up.

"What about me?!" Mineta begged.

"No thanks!" The acid user immediately rejected him and the sticky ball user slumped on floor dejectedly.

"Teaming up is not just about your quirks." Momo said, "How compatible your personalities are is important, too."

"Yaomomo, that's overkill." Toru said.

"Ah, I think the right saying for that is…" Naruto said, "She burned him, right?"

"Yup!" The invisible girl popped her lips.

"Everyone, please get moving!" Tenya raised his hand up, "Changing time is almost over!" Everyone move to their changing rooms to change into their outfit before they head to the gym.

"Now the, for today, let's keep working on improving our super mooooves." Cementoss stand in front of the heroes-in-training, "Previously, I charged you all with a 'two super move minimum'. Those who haven't met this goal yet will focus on development, and those who have will focus on even further improvements." Everyone split up as soon as he finished his sentence.

"UNBREAKABLE!" Eijiro hardened into the Unbreakable form as Mina whistled, "I'll train myself until I have attacks as good as the villains! And to do that…Midoriya! Shiretoko! Sato!" He bowed, "Treat me like your sandbag and hit me to your heart's content!"

"Are you trying to trick us?!" Rikido gaped.

"Very well, I'll use Rasengan on you to test its strength." Naruto said.

"Yes, please do!" The redhead pumped his fist.

"NO!" The sugar-power user cried out, what the hell is wrong with these two?!

"Sorry, but I'm gonna be by myself." Izuku politely declined before he walk near Yuga.

"Understood!" Eijiro turned to Naruto, "I'm ready! Gimme your best shot!"

"No!" Rikido tried to stop them, "You'll must go flying through the building or something! Knock it off!" The harden user actually flew out through the wall by Naruto's rasengan and the sugar-power user facepalm.

"I'm okay!" The redhead's thumb-up rose up behind the hole before it drops, "Mostly."

"Daaaaamn!" The pink-skinned girl slide up to the blonde's side with a impressive whistle as several worried teenagers checked on the redhead, "You just send him flying in his new mode! How much did you put in this one?"

"With a fist-size rasengan, full power." The Noumu answered.

"You don't hold back, huh?" Mina laughed, she wasn't very worried about her friend because she know Eijiro will be fine after taking this hit.

"He asked me to." Naruto tilted his head to her, "Should I have hold back?"

"Yes, you should have!" The sugar-powered user shouted.

"Nah, like you said, he asked and you delivered." She waved it off with a chuckle.

"Aaargh, am I the only voice of reason here?!" Rikido threw his hands up, "Where's Tenya at?!" He need the speedster's help with these crazy guys!

---

"Look, looook!" Mina crackled her hands outwardly as her classmates turned to her after they return to their classroom, "Look over heeeere!" She take a step then flipping up in air with a twist before she land on her hand while holding her legs up with another hand. She finish it off with a spin, "Breaking, breakdance!"

"Dancing is her hobby, huh?" Yuga stroked his chin with a hum.

"If you're wearing panties, then don't…" Mineta panted lewdly before Naruto chop his head, introducing his face to the floor.

"Stomp his face." Toru covered Eri's ears with dirty look and the Noumu obey her as the pervert scream out for mercy.

"Ashido-san's current body movements take inspiration from dance." Izuku flipped through his notebook, "How should I put it? It's a state of movement where your entire body is being used."

"Don't forget when she burned my manteau at the first battle training." The laser user said.

"I should try it, too." The bush-haired boy muttered.

"I also want to learn it." Naruto said out of curiosity.

"Okay, boy, let's dance!" Mina crossed her arms challengingly.

"Uh, um…" Izuku stuttered, "Yes, ma'am!" The boys attempted to do a breakdance under the acid user's short tutor.

'He end up doing a robot dance instead.' Kyoka stared at the dancing group, Naruto was indeed doing a robot dance and Mina tried to correct him but it always return to the robot dance. She can't help but to smile lightly as Eri giggle at him.

"It's great that you've maintained this active hobby during our hero training!" Momo clapped with a bright smile, "Such strength!"

"Though, if we're talking about hobbies…" Toru turned to the rocker, "Jiro's is pretty impressive!"

"Hai, Hai!" Pony swung her arms up and down in agreement.

"Hey, stop it!" The rocker hissed embarrassingly.

"Actually, that room of yours looked like a music store!" Hanta inputted, "That's beyond the scope of just a hobby!"

"Hey!" The rocker cried, "Enough already, okay?! Don't you guys remember the room king!?"

"Nah, that's gotta be a music pro's room, right?" Eijiro said, "How often do you practice? Do you seriously…!?" A thrusting jack stop a inch before his face and the redhead yelp out.

"I mean it!" Kyoka glared with burning cheeks before she retreat to her desk.

"What did…?!" The confused redhead asked with a tear.

"Ah, the moe gap." Naruto clapped his hands together with blank face, "I learned about it this morning. Jiro is moe."

"DAMMIT, NARUTO!" The embarrassing rocker grabbed her jacks down as she tried to hide her face on the desk and Aizawa enter the room without batting a eyelash at his class, the students swiftly take their seats as soon as the bell rang.

"We have a culture festival." Aizawa slip into his sleeping bag.

"SO SCHOOL LIKE!" Most students cheered, "Culture festival! The school-like stuff has come! Let's decide what we're gonna do!"

"Is it really okay for us to be so carefree at this point in time?" Eijiro suddenly stood up to some surprise.

"Kirishima, you've changed, huh?" Hanta said.

"But it's valid, isn't it?" The redhead said, "Especially during this proliferation of villains period!"

"That's an excellent point." Aizawa zipped his bag up, "However, Yuuei doesn't revolve around the hero department. If the Sport Festival is sponsored by the hero department, then the culture festival is in the domain of other departments. The level of exposure isn't comparable, but to them, it's an exciting festival. Moreover, the truth of the matter is that there's a considerable number of students who are stressed out from the daily activities of the hero department and its new boarding system."

"Since you put it that way…" Eijiro lowered with guilty expression, "I really don't have anything else to say…"

"That is also why you shouldn't apologize so easily." The scruffy teacher slumped down, "This year will be different from past years. Part of the staff will be cut and the culture festival will only occur within the school. I've already said we're not the main drivers of this event, but as a rule, each class has to pick one program. Today, we'll deciding on that."

"Please allow me, Class 1-A representative, Iida Tenya, to facilitate some progress!" The speedster stand up in front with Momo as he held a printout while Aizawa take a nap, "I will try my best to narrow down ideas smoothly! First, let us pick some possible themes! Those with suggestions, raise your hands!" Almost everyone raise their hands so fast, "Guh! What a fast change in attitude…No, I'll keep the class in order no matter what! Tsunotori!"

"Maid cafe!" Pony pumped her fists eagerly, "Anime style!"

"Anime-themed maid cafe?" Tenya muttered, "A service theme, huh? Not bad!"

"That's too tame!" Mineta stood up with bloodshot eyes, "A TITTY BAR!" Some girls threw him into a sack then tied him up to the ceiling with rope and told Naruto to beat it like a punching bag. He don't hold his punches back at all as some girls shielded Eri's innocent eyes and covered her ears while at it.

"Uraraka!" The speedster ignored the sight as he noticed the said girl's raised hand.

"A mochi shop!" Ochaco drooled.

"Arm-wrestling competition!" Eijiro called out.

"Haunted house!" Toru waving her arms.

"Crepe house!" Rikido said.

"Ramen bar." Naruto said flatly, wiping bloods off his knuckles with tissues.

"Daaanciing!" Mina waved her arms.

"A-A petting zoo." Koji added timidly.

"A banquet for students of darkness." Fumikage said.

"My glitter show." Yuga winked with stars.

"…A short play or something?" Kyoka said.

"Well then, anything else?" Tenya asked as Momo wrote the suggestions down on blackboard.

"SINGING!" Salad suddenly poke his body through the rear door with stretching snake arm up in the air and everyone jumped up as their heads turn back to stare at the creature. He stare back at them with a big smile before he slowly retreat outside while maintaining eye contact.

"…I think that covers the suggestions from everyone." The speedster cleared his throat while adjusted his glasses.

"I'm going to erase all of the ones that are inappropriate or unrealistic and the ones that I don't really understand." Momo heartlessly wiped some suggestions off the board.

"How ruthless." Fumikage commented, ignoring the wailing of purple-ball-haired boy.

"Local history research presentation sounds pretty boring." Someone commented and some agreed with this person.

"Don't defy common consensus!" Tenya looked dejected.

"We already have so many study hall sessions." Someone else said.

"If only I were useful…" The creator looked ashamed by that.

"I'm going to combine the food themes into one, okay?" The speedster said.

"Won't soba, ramen and crepes clash, though?" Someone pointed out before the students start to arguing about the foods, "THAT'S WHY I SAID CREPES DON'T BELONG IN ANY ASIAN FOOD THEME! RAMEN IS UNHEALTHY AND I HATE IT!"

"…Who say that?" Naruto slowly stood up, "I don't know why but I have a sudden urge to beat this person to pulp then force-fed this person with ramen until they change their mind."

"P-Please sit down!" Tenya chopped his arm as the Noumu slowly lower down and the students keep arguing about their themes. "BE QUIET!"

"We weren't able to narrow it down, huh?" Momo sighed before the class bell rang.

"It was a pointless meeting in the end, huh?" Aizawa get up with a yawn as he exit the classroom, "Make a decision by tomorrow morning. In the event that you can't decide…We'll have a public lecture!"

---

"Where's the intern group?" Tenya asked after looked up from his laptop, little stressed that he can't find anything to help him for tomorrow. The rest of the teenagers were in the common room.

"Supplementary classes." Momo replied, "They said they can't really participate in the discussions, so they'll go along with whatever we decide."

"Now that I've tried to settle down and rethink it all…" The speedster typed, "Regarding what sensei said about other departments' stress, I think we should come up with a design plan that would assist them in letting off some stream."

"That's true, isn't it?" The creator nodded, "Students aspiring to be heroes shouldn't have to go through this much stress."

"What are they talking about?" Eri asked Naruto next to her, looking up from her coloring as the group decide to drop food-related theme with some heated discussion.

"They have to come up with something for a cultural festival." Naruto replied.

"What's cultural festival?" The little girl asked, just remembered that she never asked about it earlier.

"It's a festival put on by our school." Yuga explained to her instead of the Noumu, "The classes set up events and foods for other students to enjoy."

"And apples!" Pony waved her arm happily, "Candy apples!"

"Candy apples?" Eri perked up at that.

"It's an apple that's sweetened to the point of becoming candy!" Toru grinned.

"…Sweetened…" The little girl drooled with shiny eyes.

"Well then, what if we did something more festival-like?" Momo looked over the list with a hum, "Like a maid cafe, petting zoo…Haunted house?"

"A petting zoo is kinda unsanitary, isn't it?" Tenya muttered, "We need something to let off some stress."

"How about the short play idea?" Someone asked.

"An amateur-level play surely won't add any stress!" The speedster chopped his arms.

"Everyone getting to dance would be fun." Mina leaned back in sofa.

"Wouldn't dancing be a good idea?" Shoto walked up to the table.

"What an unexpected supporter!" The acid user gasped.

"One second." The dual-quirk user borrowed Tenya's laptop, "There was one thing. I forget what it's called…Where everyone get rowdy. Ah, this thing." He show them a video of a music show.

"This cannot be a Todoroki idea!" Rikido's eyes popped out.

"When did you become a party person, Todoroki?!" Mineta cried.

"I'm not." Shoto said calmly, "I thought Iida's suggestion was the best. And along those lines…Wouldn't it be best if I suggest a place where everyone could have fun? It's a idea I got from the provisional license training course."

"What kind of training course was he in?" The sugar-power user asked shakily, for some reason he picture him dancing in a club.

"I see…" Tenya muttered.

"I'll only say it once, but wouldn't that be just as stressful as doing the play?" Hanta gulped.

"I can teach you guys!" Mina gestured to dancing French teenager, "An amateur with awkward moves mastered the steps in one day!"

"Ashido's instructions are the real deal!" Yuga winked.

"Hold it, amateurs!" Mineta snapped his fingers, "Dance is rhythm! In other words, music! The guests will need first-rate music!"

"If we're talking about musiiiiic!" Toru get up to turn to look at Kyoka with everyone.

"Uh, what?!" Kyoka got flustered by the sudden attention.

"A live performance with Jiro-chan's instruments!" The invisible girl hopped.

"Wait a minute!" The rocker cried out with her hands up.

"For what?" Toru asked, "Not only are you really good at teaching music, but when we were playing together, it was so much fun!"

"…Ashido, and everyone else, it's not exactly a hobby rooted in heroism, you know?" Kyoka tapped her jacks together, "For me, it really is just a simple hobby…Honestly, it's not something I could be proud enough about to perform…"

"Kyo-mama's going to sing?" Eri suddenly ran up to her with bright eyes and tiny awkward wobbly smile, "I want to see it!" She developed a habit of attaching mama to the girls' names as nicknames lately.

'U-Urk!' The rocker feel her heart shaken by the sight.

"Jiro…" Koji jogged over before he take a deep breath, "It's a skill that may put a smile on people's faces. I think it's well-situated in the word of a hero!"

"I understand both of your requests, but it's completely up to Jiro herself." Momo stepped in.

"If I don't do it, after this much commotion…" Kyoka messed her hair up before she look at them bashfully, "It wouldn't be very rock and roll of me, right?"

"Then Class A's program is a live performance and dance with party space!" Tenya clenched his fist with a nod and almost everyone cheered.

"Toru, it's almost time for Eri's bedtime." Naruto turned to the said teenager.

"Ah, right!" Toru crouched down to the little girl with a smile as she gestured to the crayons on table, "Time to clean up."

"Okay, Toru-mama." Eri put the crayons back in the box then place papers on top of the lid and she pick it up by handle, carrying it to the elevator with the invisible girl and her father in tow.

"Eri-chan, do you want to take a bath first or go straight to bed?" The invisible girl asked as the elevator move up.

"Bed." The little girl replied simply, "I want story."

"Alright!" Toru smiled as they get off the elevator as soon as it reach their floor and they enter the noumu's bedroom, immediately greeted by the animals. "Oh! Some of them are getting little big now." She chirped as some puppies ran around their legs along with couple lion cubs and she turn to Eri. "Eri-chan, go change and pick a storybook out."

"Yes, Toru-mama." Eri walked up to a small drawer next to a small bookshelf and she glance at the titles as she pick a blue kitty onesies pajama with tail and ears on hood out, changing into it clumsily before she take a book out then hold it out to the invisible girl with both hands. "Can you read this one?"

"Sure, I will." The invisible girl took the book from the little girl with a giggle as she check the cover, it have couple kitties and a big dog. She help Eri get into the bed and she tuck her in before she read the story to her daughter. Toru finish the story in no time before she lean over to Eri, "Give mommy a good night kiss." She lightly pecked Eri's lips, "Night, Eri-chan."

"Good night, Toru-mama." The little girl said before she turned to Naruto as he copied Toru's action, "Good night, papa."

"Good night, Eri." Naruto turned the night light on and the invisible girl turned the room's lights off before the teenagers left the bedroom as Eri fall asleep with a puppy in her arm. In the hallway, Toru notice that the Noumu was thinking deeply about something as they walk back to the elevator.

"What are you thinking about?" Toru asked with a tilted head.

"Why do everyone have different ways to kiss our daughter good night?" The Noumu looked at her, "Some of you kissed her on forehead, cheeks, nose, horn and lips." He tilted his head, "Why's that?"

"Everyone have different night rituals." She shrugged her shoulders, "Some do it different, some do it same. And some does it unique."

"Unique?" Naruto blinked, "How?"

"Um, I know someone who kiss someone else good night on eyelids." Toru tapped her chin thoughtfully, "Don't ask."

"I see." He hummed, "How interesting…"

"Mm, if you think so." She lightly shrugged her shoulders again, rocking back and forth on her heels as she wait for the elevator to reach the common floor and her head slowly turn to stare at the Noumu next to her. Toru never thought how easy it is to replace Ojiro with Naruto as her good friend and she don't feel a bit guilty about it because honestly, Naruto have more personality and chatty than Ojiro, who is the most plain and boring guy in the world in her perspective…That and she was very disappointed when she run into the tailed boy in cafeteria and he made some…Negative comments about the Noumu, which cost the former classmate her friendship. If anyone ask her about what she think of Naruto, she'll say that Naruto is sweet and pretty awkward in a cute dorky way, a great friend who is trying his best to understand other, a good father to their adorable daughter and handsome…

"Is there something on my face?" Naruto tilted his head at her puzzlingly and the invisible girl jumped up with a squeak, she just forget that he can see her.

"Nothing!" Toru waved her hand, "Just thinking about something."

"Ok." He replied and there was a moment of silence until he break it. "Ah, I remember a paragraph from 'Parenthood for Dummies' saying that it's normal and common for parents to kiss each other good night. Shall I kiss each mother of our daughter good night?"

"K-K-Kiss everyone…?!" Toru spazzed out at the thought before she waved her arms at him, "No, no, no! I'm pretty sure everyone won't like it if you just go and kiss them out of blue without their consent…Until they give you their okay."

"Ah, I see." Naruto blinked few times, "…Do you want one?"

"Um…" The invisible girl tried her best not to blush as she stuttered and the elevator finally open with a ding. "Oh! Let's go see what they come up with for the dance!" The Noumu simply give her a nod before they join the group in common room and the invisible girl was relieved that he don't ask her about it again…But why does she feel little disappointed?

Eri shivered in darkness and her eyes find nothing but grimy walls. A shadow appear over her from behind and she look back before her eyes snap widened in horror as a monstrous form of Overhaul loom over her with outstretching claw. "Have a nice dream?" Overhaul growled, "Come here, you, we have works to do."

"N-N-No!" She thrashed around with cries and before she know it, she find herself pushing blankets away. "N-No…W-Wha…?" She looked around in confusion.

"What's wrong, Eri?" The said girl's head whipped to Naruto as he stand over her with a tilted head.

"P-P-Papa!" Eri stretch her arms out to him with a whimper, tears leaking from the corners of her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked again after he picked her up and she cling on around his neck.

"S-S-Scary d-d-dream…" She sobbed in his nape.

"So you have a nightmare?" The blonde hummed as Eri kept sniffled loudly with some sobs, "I see. Which mother do you want to go to?"

"M-Mama?" Eri sniffled confusingly.

"I read in the book that when a child have a nightmare, it's normal for them to sleep with their parents for comfort and to feel safer." Naruto said, "So which mother do you want to sleep with?"

"Um…" She make a small whimpering noise, "T-Toru-mama?" It was the first name that pop in her head since the invisible girl was the last person she see beside her papa.

"Very well." The Noumu carried his sobbing daughter out and it take some time until he reach Toru's door. He knock it few times until he hear some sleepy voice muttering 'coming' few times and he rub Eri's back as the door open slightly.

"Do you know what time it is rig…" Toru complained sleepily until she blink rapidly at the sight of Naruto and their sobbing daughter. "Eri-chan? What's wrong?!" She asked worriedly as she beckoned them to come in, she don't want to wake anyone else up.

"She had a nightmare." Naruto answered.

"Oh, poor thing." The invisible girl rubbed Eri's back gently in circular motion, "Was it really scary?" The little girl just nod with another sob, "It's okay, it's okay, you're safe now."

"Can she sleep with you?" He asked.

"Sure, she can." Toru gave him a nod with a big yawn, "Hold on a second…" She walked to her bed to move few things out of the way and if Naruto have emotions, he would blush because it turn out the invisible girl sleep bare. "Alright…" Toru slide into her bed on her side then stretching her arms out, "Gimme Eri-chan." Naruto place Eri down next to the invisible girl as she pull the blanket up over the little girl.

"I'll be go…" Naruto said.

"W-Wait, I-I-I want papa." Eri held her hand out to the Noumu with few sniffles, "Papa…"

"Okey-dokey, let's scoot back a little." The invisible girl would try to calm the little girl down but she's too tired, "Naruto, get in here." She turned the blanket cover over.

"But I'm a Noumu, I have no need for sle…" The Noumu said before the invisible girl cut him off.

"Just get in the bed and sleep." Toru yawned, "Maybe you'll end up enjoy sleeping like you tried eating for the first time."

Naruto stare at her for few moments before he get on bed with a nod, "Ok." He lie on his back with Eri in between the teenagers and the sleepy invisible girl toss the blanket back over them.

"Want another good night kiss?" The invisible girl asked Eri as her mind slowly shut down from tiredness and she slide her arm over Eri's torso to snuggle up.

"Y-Yes." Eri whimpered softly and her parents kissed her goodnight.

"Night, you two." Without thinking about it, Toru sleepily pecked Naruto's lip then she immediately fall asleep and the blinking Noumu stare at the snoring teenager before he look down to his now-sleeping daughter as one of her hands hold handful of his shirt.

"Good night." Naruto decided to closed his eyes as Toru told him to and everything suddenly went dark.

---

A contented sigh slip from her lips when Toru wake up in morning and she almost yelp out in surprise when she see the sleeping blonde, lying on his side with one arm tuck under his head before her eyes snap down to Eri then she recall some details from last night. 'Oh right, Eri-chan had a nightmare and we end up sleeping together.' Toru calm herself down as she stare down at the sleeping little girl then up to the blonde and she realize that Naruto's another arm was wrapping over them. It kinda feel a little nice. The invisible girl rest her head back on the pillow as she gently brush the sleeping little girl's hairs with her fingers, taking the sight in and a minute pass before Toru's face suddenly light up with atomic blush when she remember one little thing before she went to sleep last night. 'Did I just kissed him?!' It took all of her willpower to not scream out in embarrassment, it's not her fault she did that! She was so tired and wasn't thinking! The invisible silently thrashed mentally as she stared widen-eyed at Naruto's sleeping face and she'll curl up in ball once the Noumu and their daughter woke up and left her bedroom for breakfast.

Kyoka walk back to the dorm with most of her dormmates from school and it was pretty crowded with many students out around, which make sense to her since the culture festival is a month away and everyone have a lot of preparations to do. The rocker twirl her right earjack around boringly as her classmates kept chatting about their music show until she overheard some general education students whisper to each other, mostly complaining and grumble about the heroic classes while blaming them for the recent incidents. 'They need to get their heads out of their asses and get over it.' Kyoka mentally rolled her eyes, it's not their faults that the villains decide to attack Yuuei school more than once, neither being targeted by the same villains. She don't pay them any mind until some comments reach her ears and it piss her off right away.

"Why is this monster still walking around? They should toss this thing back in prison."

"I heard this thing killed a student from his class, this guy with electricity quirk, which explain why there's one less. They may trying to cover it up."

"They're with a little kid and she call this villain papa, do you think he force himself on one of the girls or brainwashed this girl into…"

"Gah, fuck them all." The rocker cussed lowly under her breath with a glare, she want to lash out at them but that would feed the fires and they don't know a shit about Naruto or their situations. She never know how glad she is when they finally reach the dorm, away from these gossipy people.

"The culture festival is just one month away!" Tenya said to everyone, "We don't have much time, so today I want to decide on a few things. First music."

"Let's do something groovy!" Mina grinned.

"Well, then shouldn't we do a song that's as well known as possible?" Someone asked.

"One that we can dance to!" Toru pumped her fists.

"If that's the case, we might consider four-on-the-floor." Kyoka loosed her tie, "And club rock in the style of new rave. If we're doing dance music, we really should turning toward EDM…But everyone's set on playing instruments, right?" She glanced around as she gestured to music instruments in common room, "Has anyone here ever played bass or drums?" There was a silence, "I figured. First, even though the backbone of the band is the drums, my main instrument is the guitar, so my drumming is, frankly, a work in progress. If I have to teach a beginner drums while I also have to practice, one month is way too tight." Naruto walk to the drum set to everyone's confusion and he sit down with the drumsticks before…

"W-WHAT THE HELL?!" Rikido gaped as the Noumu play the drum skillfully with blank face as if he's experienced.

"P-P-P-P-Prefect…" The rocker's bloodshot eyes nearly pop out with trembling hands near her opening mouth.

"Yo, I don't know you play!" Hanta dropped his jaw along with almost everyone else, "Since when you play drum and how you know it?!"

"I just acquired a quirk that allow me to play any music instruments and match the band's music perfectly." Naruto answered flatly, "And that is my first time playing."

"WHAT AN AWESOME YET USELESS QUIRK!"

"THAT GOTTA BE SOME CHEATING!"

"ARE YOU A FU…FUDGING DEUS EX MACHINA OR WHAT?!"

"…He's our drummer." Kyoka turned to everyone with flat face, "Anyone else?"

"Thanks to my etiquette training as a child, I'm quite familiar with the piano…" Momo spoke up, "Would that skill prove useful?"

"Woahh!" Mina thrust her fist up, "Yaomomo's on keyboard, then!"

"Synthesizers are essential to club music." The rocker replied, "Yaomomo, you'll be a huge help!"

"I'll do my best!" The creator clenched fists closer to her happy face.

"Heyyy, we said girls were gonna dance!" The acid user whined, "But that's cute too, so it's okay!"

"Since I'll be doing the bass, we just have guitar and vocals left." Kyoka said, "So everyone else will dance?"

"Is this all it usually takes to get a party going?" Tenya cupped his chin with a hum.

"What about that thing that gets people rowdy?" Shoto said.

"We have to add staging!" The acid user spun around.

"Yeah, that." The dual-haired boy nodded.

"Staging?" Some teenagers questioned before the pink-haired girl show them a picture on laptop.

"For example, this!" Mina spoke, "Things like sparklers, streamers, or a disco ball. Anything that's essential to creating the atmosphere is called staging!"

"Let's make it look like a Disney parade!" The invisible girl clapped with some jumps, "One that really involves participation!"

"Did you say we're borrowing the gym?" Hanta asked the class president.

"Yes, Aizawa-sensei has already made the arrangements." The speedster nodded, the teacher sure work fast after he informed him about the music show.

"So, for example, for example…" The acid user lift her index finger up, "Uraraka will make Todoroki and Kirishima float, right? Then Kirishima will chip away away at Todoroki's ice! And then, since Aoyama will be the disco ball…" Yuga turned to her at that, "Light will flutter all over like stardust! Team snowman!"

"Is this that teaming up we talked about before?" Toru asked.

"Honestly I think it's good!" Momo replied, "It's the perfect gimmick to get everyone hyped up!"

"…I'm the disco ball?" Yuga uttered.

"Yes." Naruto said flatly.

"It's not good." The laser user speak up to get their attention, "If we're going through with this, we'll need someone running things behind the scenes."

"Yoo!" Eijiro entered the dorm with the intern group, "Supplementary classes finally finished for today. Now we can fully participate!"

"Huh?" Ochaco blinked after a quick catch-up, "Jiro, you're not singing?"

"Oh no, we still haven't…" Kyoka said before she get cut off.

"If it's vocals, let us handle it!" Mineta said, "We'll be a hit!"

"In addition to being the disco ball, I can sing." Yuga said.

"Alright!" The redhead pointed thumbs at himself, "I can't play any instruments, but if it's singing, I'm confident!" After a quick audition, no one pick the volunteers because their singing was so poor and lousy.

"I also think it should be Jiro-chan!" Toru said, "'Cause earlier when she was teaching me in her room, her singing was amazing!"

"Hey…" The rocker looked embarrassed, "Don't make things more complicated."

"I can concur with her, Eri enjoy listening to Jiro's singing when she put her to bed." Naruto said and the said little girl nod timidly.

"…Wait, how do you know that?!" Kyoka cried out, "I SEND YOU OUT!"

"I watched you two through the ajar of my door from time to time for a mother studying." He answered unashamedly.

"…Ugh…" The blushing rocker takes the mic with a deep breath.

"To disregard the cries of our souls!" Mineta complained, "What kind of people are you? What is this?!"

"I want to hear Jiro sing!" Eijiro grinned cheerily, "We're counting on you." The rocker start to sing and the three volunteers were on floor while most of the teenagers cheered for her.

"My ears are in heaven! Such a husky, sexy voice!" The teenagers cheered, "It's unanimous!"

"Okay then, that's that." Kyoka quickly divert the attention to something else, "Now! We need guitarists! Two of them!"

"Me!" Pony thrust her hand high up, "I good at playing!"

"Let me do it!" The purple-ball-haired boy screeched, "Guitar is the center of the band! With that, I'll be flocking in the sea of pu…" Naruto chopped his head to the ground, "GAK!"

"Thank you, Shiretoko." Momo glared down at the pervert.

"Dancing's good with me!" Rikido said.

"I wanna help out with the staging using my tape!" Hanta said and Fumikage pick the guitar up to strum it pretty well.

"Tokoyami?!" Kyoka gasped, "You play!? Why didn't you say anything?!"

"I had to free myself from the burden of the F chord first." Fumikage said.

After a long discussion that end at around one o'clock at night before Tenya shout out with bags under his eyes, "All roles are decided! Tomorrow's gonna be a busy day!" He turned to everyone, "NOW GO TO BED! IT'S WAAAY LATE!" Almost everyone sweatdropped at him.

"Don't shout, you'll wake Eri up." Naruto said.

"GAK, MY APOLOGIES, SHIRETOKO!" The speedster shouted with pure guilt and almost everyone's sweatdrop enlarged.

Well, that confirmed it, Eri haven't been kidnapped since Aizawa haven't find any missing files on this little girl for months and that mean Shiretoko actually create his child in a bizarre way. The scruffy man rub his forehead annoyingly, at least it stop Shiretoko from taking random animals in…His phone chirmed and he take a look at it. Never mind, Iida just informed him that Naruto just 'adopt' a goddamn armadillo pup because it become a orphan on a live wildlife channel. At this rate, the Yuuei will end up having a personal zoo! Aizawa want to bash head on his desk before he hear a familiar voice behind him and he look back to see Tomoko with Hizashi, it's another one of her days visiting her son and granddaughter.

"I heard that the cultural festival is coming up." Tomoko smiled brightly with animated arms, "I can't wait to spend time with our kitten and little kitten at our first festival as family!"

"Um…" Hizashi gulped nervously.

"Actually, the families are not allowed to come this year." Aizawa spoke up uninterestingly, "Meaning, students and teachers only." The search user turned to stare at him blankly without a single blink, "Maybe next ti…"

"Give me the permission to visit the festival." The search user said calmly and flat.

"No." The scruffy man deadpanned, "You can come to the cultural festival next y…" Suddenly, the woman pull him closer by yanking his scarves with a eerie face.

"Go talk to your principal and get me the permission or else…" Tomoko said as Aizawa shrug it off with uninteresting face, "I'll give Emi your personal digits."

"…You won't." Aizawa gain a horrified expression.

"Oh, I will!" Tomoko replied with a sweet-yet-evil smile, "I had lose many opportunities to make memories with my little boy before I get him back and you are not going to force me to lose another one. Go talk to Nezu and get me the goddamn permission or I'll have you slap the ring on Emi."

"…I'll try to." The underground hero said weakly.

"No, don't try." She released him with a wide smile, "Just fucking do it." She turned to the shuddering blonde, "See you later, Hizashi, I'm going to see our kitten." The smiling search user skipped out of the staff room and the men slowly meet each other's eyes.

"…Fuck my life." Aizawa turned around to banging head on his desk over and over.

"Um, cheer up?" Hizashi patted his best friend's back awkwardly, 'Better him than me.' It's good thing he kept his mouth shut for once or Tomoko-chan will be raging on him.

---

"Eri-chan, I'm going to send my parents a picture of you." Tsuyu held her smartphone out and the said girl look up with a blink while she slightly cling to Naruto as Nejire tied her hairs up in pigtails, most teenagers were in the common room. "Smile."

"Um, smile?" Eri muttered timidly before she try to smile again and again with some struggles as she tried to push her cheeks up with her hands to some teenagers' confusion. "S-Sorry…" Her head dipped sadly, "I-I don't know how to smile…"

"Oh, that's okay since you're like your dad." The frog girl gave Eri a little pat on head.

"Huh?" The little girl looked up curiously.

"That's right, your old man have never smile…" Kyoka twirled her jack boringly as she looked away from her homework at dining table with few teenagers to Eri before her gaze shift to the poker face of resident Noumu, "Or show any expressions at all. If he does, it'll be very rare and miracle."

"Yeah, like daughter, like father." Eijiro chuckled.

"Oh, I see…" Eri turned to Naruto with few blinks before she touch his hand, "Papa is like me…" That makes her a little happy to know that they have something in common.

"And done!" Nejire moved her hands away from the little girl's hair with a beaming smile, "You look very cute now." She whipped her phone out to take some pictures, "Hey, let's go playing house in your playroom!"

"Ok." The unicorn girl slipped off the couch timidly and she turn to look at the Noumu as he get up. At same time, Kyoka subtly nudge Fumikage's shoulder with her jack with a look and he caught on.

"Shiretoko, I'm going to practice a bit with the guitar right now but I need your aid." Fumikage spoke up, "My darkness must be synced with the song of your soul."

"Yeah, we need you guys matching the tandem." The rocker nodded.

"I'll help you." Naruto nodded.

"Um, papa's not coming?" Eri fidgeted a little nervously.

"Yeah, sorry." Tsuyu patted her head softly, "Your father needs to practice a bit with the band but that's okay. Nejire and I will play house with you."

"Um, o-okay…" The little girl glanced at Naruto with a dejected expression as the teenager girls led her to the elevator.

'T-T-That is for her g-good.' Kyoka and the girls felt like they have been stabbed by Eri's sadness expression. While it's cute to watch the little girl following Naruto around like a duckling, they feel that Eri depend on Naruto too much and barely leave his side, would get very upset when she have to stay with some teachers in office during the heroic training for few hours so they decide to try and break this habit so their daughter can feel a little comfortable staying away from her father for some amount of time. They even roped some boys in to help out.

A hour of practice later, Naruto end up playing video game with Hanta, Mina and Eijiro as he listen to their tips on how to use controller. "Naruto, shoot him, shoot him now!" Mina waved her hand at his direction as the Noumu's character encounter Hanta's character, "Pull top right trigger! Hurry!" The blonde's character suddenly mowed the tape user's character down with gating gun, "YES!"

"NOOOO!" Hanta cried out as he receive game over screen and Tenya walk over to take a seat with a glass of juice before they suddenly hear a loud fart noise in the speedster's direction then they turn their heads to the red-faced teenager.

"T-T-T-That was not me!" Tenya stuttered with arm chopping motions and someone was about to say something until…

"Haha, you have been pranked." Naruto said flatly with expressionless face before he pull an whoopee cushion out under the speedster's chair and everyone blink few times at him.

"…SHIRETOKO!" The embarrassed speedster swiftly stand up with a arm chop, "You can't do that to your fellow students! And it's unbecoming of one to pull a prank when they are in training to be a…"

"Don't listen to stick-in-mud over there." The tape-elbowed boy patted the noumu's back with a laughter while almost everyone giggle at the prank, "But damn, I don't expect you to do a prank."

"Yeah, what bring it on?" Toru giggled.

"Tomoko said she did a lot of prank when she was in school and it makes her more close to everyone." The Noumu replied.

"Oh, so you're doing it to get close with everyone?" The invisible girl tilted her head with a blink.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded, "I don't know if I can pull pranks on everyone in school because it's my first time. Should I do it or not?"

"…Yes, do it!" Some teenagers laughed.

"NO, DON'T DO IT!" Tenya cried with blurry chopping arms, "YOU ARE SETTING AN BAD EXAMPLE TO…"

"Relax, Iida." Mezo said to him, "I'm certain the pranks he'll commit are pretty harmless and everyone'll enjoy it either way."

"B-B-But…" The speedster look like he want to blow a gasket there.

"Since everyone said it's acceptable, I'll set the pranks up." The Noumu got up then walked out the dorm and almost everyone blink few times before they shrug, turning back to whatever they were doing.

---

This day was marked down as one of the most chaotic days in the history of Yuuei, right under Shiretoko Tomoko's week of insanity.

Every room in school have been perfectly turned upside down along with several students glued to the upside-down desks and they claim they have no idea how they end up there in first place.

The water in a large pool have been replaced with maple syrup and anyone who end up inside were stuck for hours as they sluggishly swim to the edge.

Every door have been rigged to fire a confetti cannon at anyone, even a group, who open it and completely cover them in colorful confetti that can't be washed off for three days. Although, there is no explanation for how a lit cupcake end up on their heads and it also can't be removed for a whole day, the fire can't be put out because every cupcake have a trick candle.

Every tools in the support department have been mysteriously replaced with rubber props and few props were rigged with joy buzzer that send a volt enough to make the victims' hairs fizz out. The strange thing is that Mei's tools were left untouched.

The PA systems suddenly blaring a song from pre-quirk days on loop and it annoy everyone when it was discovered that it can't be turn off for some reasons. The song? Rick-roll.

Nearly all school uniform have become neon pink, although very few don't mind it because it's their favorite color.

The bots everywhere have been painted with neon colors and for some reason, they were firing cream pies at everyone that appear in its range and would chase anyone down to shot a pie to their face.

No matter where anyone tries to exit the school always get covered in honey and colorful feathers, laced with itching powder.

"SOMEONE GET ME DOWN HERE!" Neito screamed from the top of flagpost with clown makeover and he was suspending up by his underwear.

There was a corncob prank but no one talk about it…No one.

Later, there was a series of explosives before the school suddenly get flooded with colorful foams as almost everyone slide out of the building on their back or chest with screams.

---

"…" Aizawa stared down at Naruto with rapid twitching eyebrow in the common room as the teenagers stare at them with various expression, "…I don't know how you do it or get away with it but I know it's you. Three days of detention." He would give this problem child more but Nezu somehow convince him to go with just three days and he think it's because the principal get a kick out of that…Is that how Tomoko always get away with her pranks? He wonder. "One more thing…" He pointed to the cupcake on his head, "How do I take this damn thing off my head?!" He was also covered in confetti.

"Wait until midnight." Naruto answered and the scruffy teacher swear that it sound very cheeky.

"Damn problem child…" The scruffy teacher left with a grumble and there was nothing but silence until…

"OH KAMI!" Hanta suddenly laughed out loudly with tears in his eyes and he wasn't the only one as several lost it. Mina curled up on the floor, smashing her fists on the floor and Ochaco covered her spit-laughter as Eijiro's shoulders trembled in attempt to hold his guffaw back. Several other just shake their heads slowly.

"…Harmless, you say." Tenya turned his head to the giant teenager sternly.

"…I stand corrected." Mezo sweatdropped sheepishly.

---

"For the hero foundation this week, you will learn how to gather information on your enemies and infiltrating their organization without tipping them off to the heroes' presence." Aizawa said to his class.

"Yes!" Toru pumped her fist up happily, "I've been waiting for that!"

"Oh yeah, your quirk is perfect for this one." Hanta turned to look at her direction.

"Until she face Shiretoko or Jiro if it's another student vs. student." Rikido pointed out, "Which will force Hagakure to think out of the box if she ever comes across any villains who have detection-based quirk."

"Also we will have a guest this week." The homeroom teacher added, "She'll teach you the basic concept of stealth and information-gathering."

"Um, why can't you do it?" Mineta asked with his hand up.

"Because I can't cover the whole class on my own." Aizawa looked at him like an idiot, "It's logical to have another hero that'll cover half of you guys while I handle the other half."

"Aizawa-sensei, who's our guest?" Tsuyu lifted her hand up.

"You'll find out when she get here." The scruffy teacher opened the planner, "Anyway, to remind you all, we will have three tests today in…"

"Nooooo!" Mina plop her face on desk with a whine, she's not prepared for an exam and three at once!

'Bet she's regretted that she don't join the study session last night.' Kyoka thought to herself before a couple strange popping sounds reach her and everyone's ears as they look up to look around with confusion.

"What was that?" Eijiro looked behind with a arched eyebrow.

"Um…" Ochaco glanced around, there was nothing out of place until she pull a double-take when her eyes land upon something. "…Shiretoko, what the heck?!" Everyone turned to the said teenager to see two twitching fox ears on top of his head and before anyone can open their mouth, several tearing noise break out.

"Ah, I gain a kitsune quirk." Naruto said as nine big fluffy tails spreading out, moving around as if they have own minds. One tail tickle Eri's nose, drawing a tiny giggle out of her.

"…Is it permanent?" Momo can't help but blush lightly at how cute it looks.

"No, I can retract and bring them out at will." The Noumu said as his animal features retract inside his body almost immediately and some girls and a animal-lover were disappointed by that.

"So he can get mutant-type quirks too, huh?" Fumikage shook his head wearily, at least it's not something too crazy this time.

"Moving on." Aizawa grunted out with deadpan expression, "Cementoss want me to remind you that if anyone here want to work on their supermoves after school, he'll be available at Gamma Gym between four to six until then. Now let's start the first period…"

---

Salad hum merrily as he brew the tea for the staff and the only teacher in the office was Toshinori, who was on phone with someone. "It matched?" Toshinori muttered in disbelief, "Are you sure?" There was a short pause before he let an heavy sigh out, "I-I see…T-Thank you for let me know…I'll call you later. Bye." He end the call then bury his face in his hands with another heavy sigh, "…I'm sorry, master, I failed you. I can't even save your grandson…"

"You don't fail her." Salad spoke up with a smile.

"Wha…?" The retired hero looked up puzzlingly, "What are you talking about?"

"You don't fail your master." The strange Noumu repeated.

"I do!" Toshinori frowned, "Nana's grandson, Tomura, is dead and I…"

"Shigaraki Tomura is not her grandson." Salad cut him off with a raising snake-hand.

"…What?" The skinny man looked up with a bewildered blink, "B-But master have a grandson…We just confirmed that master have a child that she was forced to give up and we even checked her son's life to confirm the existence of her grandson…"

"Yes, Nana does have a grandson but she doesn't have a son." The chimera swayed his snake hand as if he was wiggling his nonexistence finger, "That was a fabrication she set up to protect her child because she believe that All For One will one day discover the existence of her child to use it against his enemies and she mislead everyone close to her to think there's a son when there isn't one."

"What are you talking about?" Toshinori furrowed his brows, "There's no son? But master have…" He come to a realization, "…It's a daughter. Are you saying master have a daughter? Not a son?!"

"Bingo." Salad smiled, "Your master has a daughter. That child would later adopted by loving parents who raise her very well, having a peaceful life and then she start a family of her own."

"I-If that's true then we should find them!" The blonde man swiftly stood up.

"There's no need." The chimera laughed goodheartedly to his confusion, "Because you already found them. In fact, Nana's grandson is attending here."

"…W-Who?" The blonde man blinked rapidly with some stutters, not bothering to wipe some bloods off his chin.

"Oh, you should know who." Salad pressed his snake hands together with a closed-eyed smile, "Haven't you notice it? His smile is so much like her, their sense of justice, the heroism they show…" Some bells went off in Toshinori's head, "When he jump into action, don't it ever remind you of your master? Ah, you once told him that his mother look so much like your master, didn't you? You unknowingly saw her resemble in them."

'…Wait, is he saying…' A name comes to the retired hero's mind and he become shaken by that with rapid breathing. It can't be…

"I see you're realizing it now…" The noumu's smile widened slightly, "That's right. He is Nana's actual grandson…" He chuckled, "It's funny how it come to full circle because he end up inhibiting her quirk and unknowingly follow her path after you inspired him…"

How can he not see it? He should have seen it the whole time! Her master's grandson was right in front of him and he don't know it! It can't be! Her grandson is…

"The ninth inheritor of One For All, Midoriya Izuku." Salad said to Toshinori's complete shock.

"I-I-If that's true then…" Toshinori stammered as he dropped back in his chair, "W-Why don't you say anything sooner?" He shook his head, "N-No, we need to check your story out to see if it's truth…Wait…How do you know all of that?" His eyes snapped widened, "The name of the quirk?! Did One For All told you that?!"

"He don't, I just know because of one of my quirks." The Noumu replied, "It allows me to identify the quirks and everything about it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about One For All because I know it's a secret. And for your master's relation, let's say that I have a quirk that allow me to see everything from past to futures when I focus on my chosen target. With that, I can trace a target's family tree back to the very beginning or chose to peek into one of their futures, depending on how things will turn out in any circumstances and any actions they chose to do or not to do."

"Um…I…I don't know how to say…" The blonde man blinked owlishly, still in shock. 'If he have those quirks…Then why don't All For One take them?'

"Well, there's one thing I know about you…" Salad picked up the tray of tea cups with a chuckle as he head out, "You need a lot of time to process it and confirm my claim. Now if you excuse me, I have to bring the tea to Principal Nezu before I start cleaning the hallways." The door closed behind him and Toshinori blinked once, twice and thrice at the door before he slump back in his seat in pure shock and confusion, trying to wrap his mind around the biggest revelation of his life until one question come to his mind.

'…Who killed Shigaraki Tomura and why?'

---

The 1-A class arrive at USJ and they were immediately met by a female figure in purple spandex with black attire, some guard pieces from shoulders to shins, dark purple thigh-high boots and purple featureless full-mask helmet. "No way, it's Mindwalker, the Information Heroine!" Toru hopped excitingly at the sight of the figure.

"Mindwalker?" Mina raised her eyebrow at the invisible girl, "Never heard of her. Is she underground hero?"

"Kinda, she never shows her real face to public because she use disguises to get into some criminal rings but she always show up on television shows or news in this costume." The invisible girl replied, "She has a small line of merchandise."

"Oh, okay." The acid user blinked with a small hum.

"Everyone, that is Mindwalker." Aizawa gestured to the masked woman boringly.

"Hey, guys, nice to meet you all." Mindwalker waved cheerily, "I don't know if your teacher told you that but I'll be helping out for this week on gathering information and the likes."

"Can I ask what's your quirk?" Hanta raised his hand up curiously.

"I don't know, caaaan you?" Mindwalker said cheekily, drawing several sweatdrops from the students and a annoying groan from the scruffy teacher.

"…May I ask you what's your quirk?" The tape-elbowed teenager sighed.

"Sure, my quirk is, like my hero name, Mindwalker." The masked heroine answered, "It allow me to enter someone's mind for few minutes and access some certain memories as long as they are on surface. To trigger it, I have to get closer to my target and either projecting my consciousness into the target or make a physical contact like touching shoulder for example."

"Physical contact?" Mineta drooled lewdly at Mindwalker's large bust, "If you want to mindfuck me, wrap your tit…"

"Naruto, heel drop." Kyoka said coldly and the Noumu introduce the pervert to rocky ground with a heel drop.

"Um…" Mindwalker turned her head to the scruffy teacher questioningly.

"It's fine, he's..." Aizawa said before he look down at the twitching pervert for a moment then back to the heroine, "Still alive. It's better to let them discipline him physically so he learn not to make some sexual harassment toward the females."

"He even try to hit on a six year old girl." Shoto informed the masked heroine flatly.

"Yeah, no lewding unicorn!" Pony eyed the pervert dirty with a huff.

"I'm very glad our daughter finally gets her taser and whistler yesterday." Momo said to her with some nods, "But we need to teach her how to use them properly."

"Yes, taze nuts!" The foreign girl smiled, earning few chuckles from the girls as several boys crossed their legs with a flinch.

"…Daughter?" Again, Mindwalker gave the scruffy man a funny look behind her mask.

"Long story." Aizawa grunted annoyingly before he point to Naruto, "I blame this problem child."

"Ooookay?" Mindwalker blinked under her mask, "Guess I have to ask you about it later…Should we go start with the lesson?"

"Let's." The scruffy man clapped his hands with a grunt, "Tsunotori, Yaoyorozu, Aoyama, Hagakure, Shiketoko, Kyoka, Shoji, Uraraka, Asui and Ashido will go with Mindwalker. The rest go with me."

"What?!" Mineta quickly get up with widened eyes, "Sensei, you're putting me in a sausage-fest group?! At least, please give me some chicks to ogle! Like Yaoyorozu and her big bouncy ti…"

"Punt him as far as you can get to." The creator turned her head to look at Naruto with cold stern face and the Noumu suddenly punt the screaming pervert far away from the group. "Thank you."

"Damn, is that a new record?" Hanta squirted his eyes ahead as Mineta bounce few times on ground.

"Close enough but no." Shoto commented flatly.

'…Is that normal around here?' Mindwalker sweatdropped at the quirky class, she hope the 1-B class won't be crazy like this one. "Um, alright, follow me." She beckoned her group as they head to a replica city.

"Mindwalker-sensei, what kind of exercise will we do today?" Mezo asked politely, "Team or…?"

"Oh, today's exercise will cover the basic and I'll give you some after-school assignments to do, a homework to speak." The masked heroine waved her hand, "Nothing major for today. If you want a big one, you have to wait until tomorrow because you will collect the information from villain bots in some certain simulations, like seedy bar for example."

"Awww, until tomorrow?" Toru groaned childishly.

"Now…" Mindwalker turned to face her group with hands on her hip, "Let me ask you a question. Have anyone here been on a stakeout before?" Couple hands went up, "Only two? Alright, we will start our first lesson with stakeout so you all better listen up. Before you go out on a stakeout, you have to…"

---

"I just realize that we're not going to have a lot of free time until after the festival." Rikido felt so drained as he prepare dinner for everyone after everyone return to the dorm from dance practice.

"Yeah, and for a whole month." Eijiro cracked his neck around with few pops, "The other departments are sure lucky." The only courses that have extra lessons are the heroic and support department. He glance around in the common room as some teenagers do their own business, "So…About today's heroic foundation, did Mindwalker give you guys assignments like Aizawa-sensei did?"

"Yes, she want us to collect three different info on our 'targets' that we don't know about, even if it's something personal or privacy." Ochaco replied as she helped Eri with her homework.

"Um, and the targets are…?" The hardened user looked a little nervous, his assignment was similar to their, sans privacy info.

"Anyone that are not part of our group." The gravity girl looked sheepish, "But we can't say which one of you are who's target."

"One thing I can say is that the girls and I don't get Mineta." Momo sighed gratefully, "I shudder to think what we'll find out about this degenerate."

"Ah, that's good." Fumikage said with crossed arms and most ignore Mineta's grumbles.

"Excuse me for coming in." Everyone looked up to see Ibara walk in from the front door, "Hello, everyone."

"Shiozaki, wha…?" Rikido was confused at first until he remembered something, "Oh right, it's her turn to spend some time with Eri."

"Hi, Ibara-mama." Eri responded timidly before she turn her attention back to her homework with some clumsy writing.

"Hello, my little lamb." The vine-haired girl smiled gently to the little girl as she take a seat on sofa behind her.

"Wanna swap with me?" Ochaco asked her.

"Ah, no, you're covered it already and it look like she's almost done with her homework." Ibara replied with a waving hand, receiving a nod from the brunette and the vine-haired girl watch the little girl working on her assignment. Ibara have to admit that it took her some time to accept the fact that she's now a teen mom and she have taken a liking to Eri-chan, like the rest of the girls. At same time, the girls have get to know each other a little well lately…Although, she don't approve how Mei always get her little lamb dirty by hugging and nuzzle their cheeks together because the pinkette don't take a bath after coming from the support studio or attempt to grooming the little girl to be her 'assistant' by reading manual book as a bedtime story to Eri's pure confusion and have her playing with power tools…All child-safety tools, mind you. The vine-haired girl shake her head slightly before she glance around, noticing something. "I don't see Na…Shiretoko and others?" She asked, it look like less than half of 1-A teenagers were down in the common room.

"Shiretoko is feeding his pets in his room with Koda's and Aoyama's help." Momo answered, "The others are perhaps in their rooms."

"Iida went out a bit while ago to see Aizawa-sensei, something about schedule and permission." The gravity girl added with a thoughtful look, she don't catch much of what her friend said when he rush out because she was busying help her daughter with the homework. "And for Deku, he went out too for training…" She frowned slightly, "I think?"

"You think?" The vine user tilted her head slightly to her.

"Um, I don't know to be honest." Ochaco said, "He kept go somewhere at random times and he didn't tell us why. I assume he may go to the gym for his quirk training."She don't know what to make out of that and it's not really easy for her because she's little confusing about her feelings toward Izuku.

"Oh, I see." Ibara hummed, don't know how to respond to that until…

"Finished." Eri spoke up softly, pushing her paper toward the gravity girl.

"Ah, let me check." The brunette scanned the paper for a moment before she turn to the little girl with a big smile as she patted Eri's head, "Good job, Eri-chan, you did great!"

"Thank you, Ocha-mama." The little girl replied timidly.

"What do you want to do now?" Ibara asked after she checked with the gravity girl to see if their daughter has any more homework, which she don't.

"Um…Can we watch movie?" Eri pointed to the television.

"Yes, go ahead and pick out what you want to watch." The vine-haired girl smiled down at her and the young girl walk closer to the television stand, going through some movie cases. Most of teenagers keep their movies in their rooms or tuck away in television stand out of the little girl's reach so she don't accidentally watch something that she should not allow to be watching like horror movies for example. After a while, Eri chose a cartoon movie about dogs and she give the case to Ibara as the vine-haired girl set the movie up.

"Hey, since you're gonna stay for a while, do you want dinner?" Rikido asked out of politeness, "It's hot dogs."

"Yes, I would like one, thank you." Ibara answered with a small nod as she take her seat on sofa again with Eri next to her, starting the movie. About ten minutes in, the vine-haired girl notice Naruto exiting the elevator from the corner of her eyes and she turn slightly to greet him. "Hello, Na…Shiretoko."

"Hello, Shiozaki." Naruto replied back as Eri look away from the movie to him.

"We're watching a movie, would you like to join us?" The vine user asked.

"Yes." The blonde approached the sofa then sit down next to his daughter and the little girl with horn would have crawl onto his laps if Ibara haven't place her arm around her, gently cuddle her against Ibara's side earlier. "What are we watching?" He asked, opening his left hand up as Eri absentmindedly play with his fingers while watching the movie and some teenagers who have notice it wonder if it's another habit that the little girl have.

"Lady and the Tramp." Ibara answered before she pause for a moment, "How we manage to find some pre-quirk era movies from different countries is still beyond me." She don't remember everyone buying these movies on their shopping spree for their little lamb.

"Ah, I ordered them online." Momo replied over her shoulder from the table, had overheard the guest's question.

"Oh, is that so?" The vine user hummed softly as she turned back to the movie, her gaze slowly drift sideways to Naruto. Like the girls, she get to know the Noumu more during her turns or at lunchtime whenever he came by for Reiko's bentos and she find him to be…So pure. How can someone be so kind and naive if they claim to be not a human? She have seen him taking stray animals in from time to time, doing his best to raise Eri well and treat everyone equally without judgment…Beside this Mineta sinner. She was concerned at first when she heard that Naruto have join the school but it was almost dashed immediately once they have a decent conversation and what's he like. Plus, she don't forget what went down during their first encounter in the forest. If he haven't heal her classmates, Shishida's and Bondo's career should have ended right before it even start…And his touch was pretty warm. Ibara almost reach up to touch her light-flushed cheeks, only to resist the temptation as she keep her hand down around her little lamb.

"What are they doing?" Eri asked innocently and Ibara snap out of her thoughts as she turn back to the movie to see that the dogs was about to kiss. The vine-haired girl cover the little girl's eyes for a moment because she feel that it's too early for her little lamb to learn about romance to Eri's and Naruto's confusion and few snickers from several other teenagers.

Two days later, Naruto stare blankly at Hizashi's back as he follow the older blonde outside and the voice user turn to him with a nervous grin. "Naruto, my little listener, are you…" Hizashi lifted up two baseball gloves and a ball, "Up for a little catch game with your old man?"

"Catch game?" Naruto tilted his head puzzlingly, "What's that?"

"It's a game where you just toss and catch the ball." The older blonde explained, "All we have to do is throwing it back and forth between us. It's one of things that daddy do with their kids." The young blonde just blinked, "Um, well, I want to make some memories and spend some more times with you before your mom get you for the weekends…" He paused, "Wow, I feel like a divorced father and I'm not even married." He just barely got back together with Tomoko after some discussions. The blondes just stare at each other before Hizashi give his son a glove, "Um, here. Put it on." He show Naruto how to put it on correctly then take his place, "Alright, I'm throw you the ball. Catch." He toss the ball to his son and the teenager catch it with his glove.

"…And I have to throw it back to you now?" Naruto pick the ball up then throw it back to the older blonde.

"That's right, son!" Hizashi grinned before they continue to playing catch until he speak up, "So…" He doesn't know what to ask his son about and he really can't ask him about school since he's a teacher. "Um…Any girls that catch your eyes?" He winced, Tomoko is so gonna kill him for asking that because she want their son to stay innocent a little longer.

"I don't understand your question." The teenager said.

"Um, I mean is there any girls that you like?" The older blonde asked, "You know, like as in like-like…Love?" He has to make sure that he's clear enough for his son to understand.

"Love?" Naruto blinked as he caught the ball, "I know it's an emotion but I don't know what it's like, neither understands emotions."

"No one does understand emotions." Hizashi joked with a sheepish grin, "Um, so there's no one then?"

"…How can you tell if you're in love?" The teenager asked.

"To know the signs of love…" The older blonde hummed, "You always want to look at this person more than anyone else, you want to see them again even if you already seen them a hour ago, you always think of this person even if they're not in same room, you don't mind doing whatever they want to do or say, you feel strange or charged when they're in your sight and…" He racked his mind, "There's a lot more but I'll tell you later." It's really hard to describe the concept of love to a teenager.

'…Does that mean I'm in love with Jiro?' Naruto blinked to himself as he kept playing catch with Hizashi for a while, the latter try his best to get closer to the former.

---

"Jiro, you teach just like a professional." Momo made some tea with a smile in the kitchen, "You got Tsunotori, the amateur, to learn the chord progression." They have been practicing for couple weeks since then.

"It wasn't that impressive." Kyoka waved it off until she smell something good, "Hey…Today's tea smells really good…"

"I know, right?!" The creator become very cheery, "I got it from my mother! It's the phantom black tea, Imperial Golden Tips! Please try it, everyone!"

"I don't quite understand what it is, but thanks as always!"

"I don't quite understand either, but it's so bourgeois!"

"Deku-kun!" Ochaco called out to the greenette, "You're not having any of Yaomomo's tea…?" She screamed out as Izuku swiped rapidly in his phone, mumbling something about All Might and support items.

"Oh, shoot!" Izuku accidently tap a random video and he listen to it while talking to the gravity girl about Gentle and tea.

"Momo-mama, can I try the tea?" Eri asked timidly from her seat on Naruto's lap as she play UNO game with Yuga, Tsuyu and Eijiro at table in common room.

"Yes, you can." Momo gave the little girl a child-size cup with a beaming smile, "Careful, it's a little hot."

"Thank you." The little girl sipped her tea quietly then lift it up above her head to Naruto's mouth and he take a sip of it before she bring it down to drink it again.

'C-Cute.' The creator find the sight to be sweet and she wasn't the only one to think this way. On the way back to the kitchen, Momo notice Shoto walking to the elevator and she hang her head down slightly as Kyoka notice it.

"Still disappointed that your crush turns out to be asexual but considering become gay for someone else?" The rocker whispered lowly to her friend, patting her shoulder gently. They have found out about it at the end of the week with Mindwalker couple weeks ago and it was Mina who drops the bombs on them.

"A little." Momo sighed softly, "But the positive thing is that it's just a silly fleeting crush so it doesn't hit me hard as I thought it would."

"That's good." Kyoka nodded together with the creator, "If you want to talk about it, I'm here anytime."

"Thank you." The creator smiled to her friend brightly as she gave her the tea cup, "Here, Jiro. Try it and tell me what you think."

"Oh, it's really good than I thought." The rocker gasped after a sip and the creator nodded rapidly with very bright smile.

---

"You want me and Shiretoko to what?" Ochaco raised her eyebrow at Aizawa strangely couple days later.

"I want you two to show Eri around as everyone are getting the festival ready in few days so she won't become very anxious and accidentally trigger her quirk on this day." Aizawa grunted, "Togata will tag along with you guys."

"Um, okay, I get that but…" The brunette tilted her head with furrowed brows, "Why now?" She realize something as she jumped up slightly, "Ah! And don't Eri-chan have better control with her quirk since you guys have trained her for a while?"

"I just want it out of the way, just think of it as a test trail." The scruffy teacher shrugged his shoulder, "Eri may have improve her control with her Rewind but it's not perfect and we're not sure if it will go off without any warning…Plus, your child need to get out more instead of sitting around almost all day and I checked your schedule, it's your turn to be her mother for a day. Am I right?"

"Yes…" Ochaco scratched the back of her neck sheepishly as her teacher just turn around and walk out before she glance back to Mirio, Naruto and Eri, "Ah, well…" She bend down to her daughter with a gentle smile, "Eri-chan, ready to go on a walk and look around?"

"Um, maybe?" Eri fidgeted nervously, shuffled closer to her papa.

"It's gonna be okay." The smiling brunette held her hand out to her, "We'll be with you always."

"…Okay." The little girl shyly reach out to take the gravity girl's hand and the group start their walk as Ochaco try to figure out which place they should visit first, the smiling senior hang a bit back. Mirio chuckled to himself when Eri quietly hold Naruto's hand with her another hand and the gravity girl didn't notice it for good ten minutes until she yelp out of embarrassment.

---

"Even if it's still almost a month away, everyone's busy to plus ultra, huh?" Ochaco commented as the students ran around or working on their stands and Eri looked around timidly, holding onto Naruto's pant leg and another hand holding three of the gravity girl's fingers. The brunette was about to add more until a dragon head suddenly appear in front of her, causing her to cry out in startle.

"'Scuse me…" The dragon head moved aside to reveal Tetsutetsu and the brunette notice three more 1-B students help carrying the head. "Wait, it's Uraraka and Shiretoko from Class A!"

"Wait, wait, wait, wha?!" Neito popped his head up, "Chitchatting in a place like this? You got that much time on your hands?!"

"Eri-chan, are you okay?" The gravity girl asked the little girl worriedly, hoping the shock don't trigger Rewind.

"Yes." Eri replied softly, "I thought it was a rex that Set-mama showed me in dinosaur books."

"OI, OI!" The copycat user screeched, "You ignorin' me?! You think that's okay?!" He pointed at them with a smug smirk, "You guys are putting on some kind of live performance, I hear!? I wonder how that'll go! This time I'll tell you straight up! We of Class B are gonna be better than you! Romeo, Juliet and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Return of The Kings! Class B's completely original super special fantasy play!" Ochaco noticed Awase sneaking up behind gloating blonde with a plank beam as the gravity girl silently turn the confused little girl's head away while covering her ears, "Better get ready! We're gonna shame you to tears! I'll have a handkerchief for you when it happens!" Before Neito can go on, he get knocked out by the annoying wielder with few whacks to head.

"Sorry, Class A." Awase panted heavily over the twitching copycat, "Kendo's not here, so he went unchecked."

"Where is she?" Ochaco asked curiously.

"She's running for Miss Con." The wielder dragged Neito's body away, "Though she's being forced against her will."

"Sorry for suddenly showing you the dark side of Yuuei." Mirio joked to Eri, causing her to furrow her brows confusingly.

"What's Miss Con?" Naruto asked the gravity girl and her respond was just a shrug.

"Speaking of Miss Con…" The phaser user snapped his fingers, "That's right! She's also fired up this year."

"Who?" Ochaco turned to her senior with a blink.

---

Nejire float in a large changing room, wearing a tight dress with flowing skirt as she test it out with her friends until she notice the touring group entering the room. "Hey, hey, why is Eri-chan here?" Nejire flew toward them, "Strange! Why, why!?" She picked the little girl up in a hug, "So exciting! Oh, is it my mom day?"

"No, not until Friday." Ochaco reminded her, "And tonight's Yui's turn for bedtime."

"Awww." The flow user nuzzled Eri's cheek with a pout before she put the little girl down then look up to them with a soft gasp, "That's right, but listen! Are you listening?" She wiggled her index finger up, "Each year, I've never wonnn! There's this amazing girl! The champion of Miss Con! Third year Class G Support Team, the dazzling Zaki Bibimi-san."

"Um, amazing?" The gravity girl blinked slowly.

"Is it?" Naruto turned his head to the brunette with a tilted head and once again, she just shrug her shoulders slightly.

"This year, she's gonna appear in a commercial that'll make her fanbase blow up." Tamaki muttered, "Kendo-san will be there as well. Hado-san's getting fired up for it, too. To perform in the presence of the public…" He suddenly crouched down while holding his stomach, "Ow, oww…My stomach starts to hurt…" The Noumu walked over to 'heal' him.

"Ah, I detect no injury in you?" The blonde tilted his head, almost caused Ochaco to spit-laugh at the scene.

"Like Yuyu says, the first step is just about making an appearance…" Nejire grinned as a girl in background looked up at the mention of her name, "But one way or another…It becomes both exciting and terrifying." She grinned brightly, "That's why, this year, I'll definitely win! It's my last one, after all!"

"You can do it!" Mirio pumped his fist up with a big smile and Eri stare up at Nejire.

"Oh, good luck, we'll root for you." Ochaco gave the blue-haired girl a thumb-up and a cheery smile. "We'll be going now. See you later."

"Eri-chan, gimme good-bye kiss." The smiling flow-wave user bended down to receive a good-bye peck from Eri then she hugged her tightly before she release the little girl, "Bye, guys! Oh! Shiretoko, don't forget that we're meeting at the park near Gamma gym on Friday!"

"I won't forget." Naruto nodded to Nejire as the group left the room and Ochaco turned her head to him with a raised eyebrow.

"Why are you and Hado going to park together?" She asked curiously.

"Hado want to take me and Eri out on a picnic." The Noumu replied, "She call it family date, which I don't understand."

"Of course she'll do that." Mirio chuckled lightly. When Eri come into Nejire's life, the little girl and Naruto was all what Nejire talk about almost every day and she always call them her family. Does it bother the phaser and Tamaki when she say that? Not really, anyone who know Nejire know she's not thinking it in romantic sense and if she does, he'll be fine with it as long as his friend is happy.

"F-F-Family d-d-date?!" Ochaco squeaked out with burning rosy cheeks, she don't really know that her senior is…The chuckling phaser whispered into the gravity girl's ear as she calm herself down, "O-Oh." Now she feel silly for thinking this way…

"Will Ocha-mama go with us for family date?" Eri asked timidly, not understanding the real meaning of date. "Oh, or are we on family date because we're together?" The poor brunette stuttered, barely get a word out.

"Well then, next is…" The phaser chuckled out loudly as he gestured to a certain blast doors, "The Support Department!" He showed them in as the little girl looked around at several students working on their machines, "All of the grades hold a technology exhibition together!"

"So it's not individual like other classes?" Naruto asked.

"That's right!" A voice suddenly pop up right behind the Noumu, "The cultural festival is the support team's moment to shine!"

"Is that Hatsume…" Ochaco turned around with a jump before she dropped her jaw at the sight behind Mei, "Whaaaaaaaa!?"

"My adorable babyyyyy, child number two hundred and two!" Mei gestured to a giant robot before she look down to Eri with a wide grin, "Oh, did I forget today's my turn?"

"No." Naruto answered.

"Awww, poot." The pinkette pouted for a moment, "I was looking forward to teach my little assistant how to build a blast cannon."

"…Please don't." The gravity girl just deadpanned until she notice something, "Ah, you're dirty." The pinkette was completely covered in soots.

"'Cause getting in the tub is a waste of time!" Mei replied brightly to Ochaco's sweatdrop before the pinkette spun around to her machine, "The ideas keep on gushing forth! It's so exciting! For the hero department, the sports festival was already the second place to garner attention." She patted the machine's leg, "But! This time, it's us that've been given the opportunity to be the main attraction! A ton of companies will get a careful look at my little child! I better rear him to not be shy like his sister!" She flashed a smile down to Eri before she look up to Naruto, "More importantly, have you get any new quirks? Anything that I can test my babies out on? If anything ever comes up, please let me know, ASAP!" Before Naruto can say something, the giant robot's head suddenly explode with black smokes, "BABYYY?!"

"Hatsume, again!?" A supporter screamed.

"Water, water!" The pinkette cried out.

"Hatsume, I'm sorry!" Ochaco quickly pushed Naruto and Eri out of the supporting studio with Mirio in tow, "Let's go, guys!"

---

"Well, guess that's it." The brunette said as the group take a break in cafeteria after a long walk before her head turn to Eri, who was quietly sipping her juice. "Will you be okay? What did you think?"

"…I…" Eri uttered, "Don't really know…But…So many different are trying their hardest…So I want to know how it will turn out…"

"We call that feeling 'excitement'." A voice nearly causes both Ochaco and Mirio to jolt up before the group turn to the source to see Nezu with Midnight at other table. "Seems like it was worthwhile, don't you think?" He was eating a cheese like a madman.

"Principal Nezu!" Ochaco gasped in surprise, "Midnight-sensei! Wha…"

"I'm also excited for the cultural festival." Nezu wiped his mouth with a napkin, "In order to throw the best festival they can, many of the students bring encouragement, excitement…And try to create a good time for everyone!"

"Especially since we've gotten into various issues with police…" Midnight commented to herself.

"Watch it, Kayama." The principal held his paw up to stop her before he hop off the chair then walk away with arms behind his back, "Well! I'll be going now. You all! Enjoy the cultural festival to your heart's content."

"I can't say for sure…" The R-rated heroine picked her tray up after the principal left, "But the principal seems to have worked pretty hard…Getting this result after butting heads with a higher up. We've fortified security even more. Then… In the off chance that the alarm sounds…Even if it's a false alarm. We'll immediately suspend activities and evacuate. That was the condition for holding the event."

"That's rough." Ochaco frowned to herself.

"Of course." Midnight nodded, "I prepared very hard on my end so that doesn't happen. I even dispatched Hound Dog to watch over school premises." She remembered something, "Oh, yes! Talk of Class A's program has even made it to the staff room! Work hard, young ones!"

"We will." The gravity girl smiled at her teacher as the woman left.

"Papa and Ocha-mama are playing music, right?" Eri glanced up to Naruto.

"That's right, we're playing a live music." Ochaco grinned at her, "I'll be dancing and your daddy's playing drums. We're doing our best so that you can have a fun time, Eri-chan." The little girl look interested and very curious about the musical show and the gravity girl decide to relay the information to her friends about security and what'll happen if it went off later.

"Ahh!" Mirio gasped out loudly, "For your information, I'm looking forward to it, too!"

---

"We're back!" The gravity girl announced as soon as she entered the dorm with Eri and Naruto before they hear a surprised yelp from the kitchen and the brunette was about to check until Pony quickly raced out.

"You back!" Pony waved her arms widely with nervous smile, "Uraraka, you take lil unicorn up to playroom, yes? Yes?!" At first, Ochaco was confused by her behavior until she spot something inside the kitchen before she turn to Eri with a cheery smile.

"Eri-chan, let's go upstairs and play Connect Four." Ochaco held her hand out to the little girl.

"Okay." Eri grabbed her hand and they went up together, the little girl didn't realize that her father wasn't following them because the blonde girl stop him by holding his shoulder.

"Shiretoko, come help." The foreigner beckoned him into the kitchen and Naruto immediately spot dozen of ingredients lying around next to pots, sticks and spoons.

"What are you trying to make?" Naruto asked, picking an apple up.

"Candy apple!" Pony answered as he turned to look at her, "I check festival pamphlet and it say no candy apple. Eri-chan'll be sad because no apple." She looked determined, "Can't have it, no. We make some for our unicorn! Surprise her!"

"And you want me to help making them?" The Noumu said, "But I don't know how to cook."

"It's okay!" The horned blonde pumped her fist with a big grin, "We do it together!"

"Okay, together." Naruto copied her action with a tilted head before they turn to the table, making attempts to create candy apples.

About two hours later, Yuga walk into the common room with Izuku, Mineta and Rikido before the French student notice his fellow blondes in the kitchen. "Oh?" Yuga peeked inside, "Are you two preparing something?"

"We're trying to make a candy apple for Eri." Naruto replied, "It'll be a surprise for her on cultural festival day."

"Aw, that's sweet." The French teenager smiled brightly, "I hope she'll like it."

"Same here." Izuku agreed.

"Here, taste." Pony held a candy apple up to the Noumu as she lean closer to him and he took a bite out of it. "How is it?"

"FUUUUUUUUUU!" Mineta bit his lower lip angrily with blood tears as both Izuku and Rikido blushed at the blondes' actions, "Why him? Why not me?!"

"Oh my, how dazzling." Yuga covered his giggling lip with one hand.

"It's good." Naruto answered her, "I enjoy it."

"Oh, really?" The American girl hopped slightly with a cheery smile as she took a bite from another side of same candy apple, "That's gre…" She suddenly spit the pieces out into the sink with few coughs before her bloodshot eyes pop widened open as she screamed in English, "THAT'S SO SALTY AS FUCK!" She quickly take a glass of water to wash the taste out of her mouth, "SALTY!" Her head whipped around to see Naruto calmly eating the same candy apple, "Ah, spit out! Spit it out!" The Noumu kept eating while tilted his head at her.

"…Guess I'm gonna help them out." Rikido can't help but to sweatdrop at the sight with deadpan expression as the blonde girl tired to make Naruto spit the bad apple out in a comedic fashion.

---

"…And I teach her how to make a flower crown, it was so cute!" Nejire held her phone out to the girls to show a picture of Eri timidly putting a flower crown on Naruto, also sporting her own crown from the blue-haired teenager.

"Wow, it's heck adorable!" Mina gushed, "You better send this picture to me!"

"Damn her…" Reiko muttered under her breath as she stared at her senior with jealousy glint, she want to take Naruto out on a picnic date. Does that mean Hado is romantically interested in the Noumu too?

"Take it easy." Setsuna patted the ghost girl's shoulder with a light chuckle. It turn out that the girls of Class 1-A, 1-B, Nejire and Mei are gathering together in a room on third floor in the 1-A's dorm. The room appear to be large, due to the fact that the girls asked Aizawa and Cementoss for permission to convert two rooms into one large room and it was approved after some discussions and good reasons. It was mostly for private and to prevent Mineta from harassing them too much. The room appear to be similar to the common room but with more sofas and couches in various size, a single wide table, comfy rug and several smaller tables.

"Alright, I'm done with my turn." The smiling senior put her phone away as she glanced around at the girls, "Who's next? I wanna hear some cute stories about Eri-chan." Right now, the girls were having one of their regular meetings and most of time, it was just discussing and setting up schedule once the rotation is complete. Another times, it's random chats, sharing Eri story, swapping information or gossip, depending on certain girls.

"Speaking of Eri-chan, where's she?" Kinoko whispered to Tsuyu, had arrived a little late due to a minor mushroom incident.

"Naruto took her with him to spend some time with his mom." Tsuyu replied, "They won't be back until evening."

"Mm." Yui calmly raised her hand up slightly, "Eri-chan had nightmare the other night so Shiretoko bought her to my room by teleporting outside my door. We end up sleeping together in my bed for a night." Before anyone can react to that, Mina turned her head to the expressionless girl.

"Oh, you too?" The acid user blinked, "They came to my room the other night. I made him slept on rug with a blanket." She remember that she found herself lying next to Naruto with Eri cuddling up on his chest when she woke up but she won't tell that to her friends.

"I did the same thing but I end up cuddling up to Naruto with Eri for warmth." The frog teenager added, "It was a very cold night."

"Um, did anyone else here end up letting Shiretoko and Eri-chan stay over for a night?" Itsuka raised her hand up with an arched eyebrow and everyone lift their hands up. "Does that mean Eri-chan have a recurring nightmare?" She look concerned, like several other girls.

"Maybe?" Momo muttered unsurely, "I thought it was one time but I guess I was wrong. Did anyone here ask Eri-chan what's her nightmare was about?"

"She said something about scary bird man." Ochaco recalled, "At first, I thought she's scared of Tokoyami or his Dark Shadow but she look fine around him." Some girls nodded in agreement, "Should we do something about it?"

"Recurring nightmares are usually triggered by stress or anxiety." The creator said, "She don't look like she's stressed by something so it must be anxiety."

"I guess the best thing we can do is make her more comfortable and hope it'll pass?" Kyoka twirled her jack around her finger.

"Yes." Momo nodded. There is nothing they can do about nightmares and some wish they have a quirk to take it away from their daughter.

"…Hold on, Yui, you let him sleep in your bed?" Ibara sharply turned her head to the said girl.

"Mm, I did." Yui replied, "He's a good cuddler." The poor vine-haired girl want to faint from the sinful thoughts.

"…Honestly, if Naruto hadn't bring our daughter this night, I'd jump him right there." Reiko muttered under her breath and several girls who have overheard her gave her different odd and flustered looks. Look like she better do something to claim her man before the others get to him.

---

Several days later, Kyoka was adjusting some music notes in a notebook while nibbling on the edge of her jack before she look up with a deadpan expression, "Shiretoko, you're staring." She don't have to look back to see that the said teenager was staring at her, she can feel it.

"Yes, I am." Naruto replied.

"Can you not?" The rocker muttered, "Go set everything up before everyone gets here or something." They were the only two on the stage at the moment for another rehearsal.

"I already did." He said and she roll her eyes as she focus on her notebook again, it was all quiet for a while.

"…Dude, why are you still staring?" Kyoka can't concentrate on the lyrics when he's staring at her.

"I'm trying to figure something out." Naruto said.

"Which is…?" She turned her head to him with a twitching eyebrow.

"I think I'm in love with you." He said bluntly and she stare at him blankly for few moments.

"…Whaaat?!" Kyoka's face burn up with haywiring jacks and widened eyes, nearly tear her notebook in half when she jolt up slightly. "W-W-W-What did you j-just say?!" She must mishear him!

"I think I'm in love with you." Naruto repeated. Okay, she don't mishear him.

"Y-Y-Y-Y…W-W-Wha…M-M-Me…" The blushing rocker stuttered, completely at loss for words as he just stare straight at her. Honestly, that is the first time a boy come up to her and tell her he love her. But why does it have to be this guy?! He don't know anything about love or emotions! Who the hell tell him that…'Or did he come to that on his own?!' Her eyes widened, she's so confused and don't know what to do in this situation…

"We're heeeeeere!" Mina entered the gymnasium with several teenagers.

"YOU'RE LATE!" Kyoka screamed out of shock as almost everyone jumped at her shout, "TAKE YOUR PLACE, EVERYONE!" She quickly power-walk to the stage.

"Um, ooookay?" The acid user blinked owlishly with everyone else, wondering what's up with the rocker.

---

It's the night before the cultural festival and the Class 1-A were doing one last rehearsal. "All right, they're closing up soon!" Mina hollered to the dancers and band, "Let's take it from the top! Clap, tap, tap!" The dancers followed the beat, "Clap, tap, tap! Ha! Now, Aoyama, you're at center. Midoriya, you're off stage." They obeyed her, "Midoriya! Your movements are still sluggish, so…" The boy paced around clumsily, "WAKE UP!"

"I was worried at first about this performance thing since we're all amateurs…" Hanta crossed his arms, "But now…Both the band and the dance team have come a long way, haven't they? Thanks in no small part to Ashido being such a super intense coach."

"I guess when you love something, you give it your all." Eijiro agreed, "That 'Knock 'em dead with sound' declaration's fired up more than just the band."

"Who come up with this name?" The tape-elbowed teenager sweatdropped.

"I did!" The redhead said proudly.

"I'm starting to get nervous." Momo gulped.

"Don't do those weird ad-libs in the real performance, ok?" Kyoka told her band to be safe, "One of us might get thrown off by it."

"And then Midoriya will quickly go from the stage up to the ceiling, set up Aoyama, and suspend him from a rope!" Mina said as the bush-haired boy hoist Yuga up, "And then all that's left is…"

"Isn't it!" Hound Dog slammed the door open with growl, "Nine already?! Students are bark bark bark only allowed in here until nine!"

"Yikes, sorry!" The teenagers quickly run back to their dorm, "Going back now!"

---

"I CAN'T SLEEEEEEP!" Mineta ran around with a loud scream before Naruto punted him across the room.

"Please be quiet." Naruto said, "My daughter is sleeping."

"Yeah, some people are sleeping." Mina agreed.

"I wonder if everyone else will enjoy this as much as we hope." Tenya wondered.

"I don't think you should think about it that way." Kyoka said with her hands tucked under her thighs, "Feeling shy or nervous won't do us any good. We just have to enjoy ourselves once we get on that stage."

"Weren't you the one who was super shy?" Toru teased.

"That was different!" The embarrassed rocker waved it off.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, Jiro." Izuku said while checking supplies with Yuga.

"Oui!" Yuga added, "Focusing on others is the best way to help ourselves."

"I see." The greenette noticed the ropes, "The rope is getting frayed."

"We've worn it out from practicing so much." The French teenager said, "It's the proof of our friendship!"

"Yeah…" Izuku quickly caught himself, "No, this is dangerous! Sorry I didn't notice earlier."

"Why don't you ask Yaomomo to make one?" Hanta said.

"Yaomomo already went to sleep!" Mina rejected the idea, "Don't treat her like a tool box!"

"I'll buy one, first thing in the morning." The greenette said, "I have morning training anyway. And incidentally, I also have some other stuff I want to buy."

"Wait, wait, we're on at ten." The tape-elbowed teenager said, "The store opens around nine, doesn't it?"

"The home center that's fifteen minutes from Yuuei opens at around eight." Kyoka said.

"That's cutting it pretty close." Mina got up, "We better hit the sack soon."

"Well then! We'll probably do this again tomorrow." Eijiro bumped his fists, "But let's get in an early cheer…Night owl squad!" He pumped his fist up as most teenagers cheered loudly, "Let's do this! Yeah!"

"Aren't we supposed to be quiet?" Naruto asked them and the embarrassed teenagers quickly quiet down.

---

"Let's find our calm and serene composure!" Momo tried to calm herself down, the cultural festival have arrived and everyone was getting ready.

"Calm and serene." Fumikage repeated.

"Hey, Shiretoko, put on your t-shirt!" Kyoka called out, "We made it just for the occasion."

"Ah, I forget." Naruto replied.

"The dancing dress fit perfectly!" Mina posed in the dancer outfit.

"Even though you just touched up one off the rack." Mezo said.

"It's erotic and that's what matters!" Mineta hopped up.

"Midoriya's not here, is he?" Shoto carried a box.

"He went out to buy rope." Yuga reminded him.

"What could he be doing out this late?" The dual-haired boy said.

"Todoroki!" The acid user called out, "Let's do our final dress rehearsal already!"

"What, indeed." The laser user hummed.

"I hope Eri-chan will be able to see the show." Toru bounced on her heels.

"She's with her grandma, Shiretoko, right?" Rikido asked her and she nod at him, despite the fact that he can't see her head.

---

"GOOD MOORRNING!" Hizashi shouted into the microphone as the students become exciting listening to the PA, "Hey, guys! All of our preparations have been for this day! Today's a day to set aside your worries and cut loose! Forget about your coursework and go wild! With that, everyone join me in saying…THE YUUEI CULTURAL FESTIVAL BEGINS NOW!" There was some smoke fireworks going off and the students start to exploring the campus or get ready to work. Hizashi stand up then step out before he grin widely at Tomoko and Eri, "Ready to go?" Tomoko was able to get permission from Nezu because her quirk can be very useful since it can detect any possible intruders before they even reach the Yuuei's barrier.

"Yup!" Tomoko grinned back before she look down to her granddaughter as they held hands, "Little kitten, where do you want to go to first?"

"Um, I don't know." Eri uttered softly.

"Well, we still get some time before the musical show so let's go walk around for a bit, okay?" The search user said.

"Okay." The little girl nodded timidly as she walked with her grandparents.

---

"Midoriya did what?" Aizawa asked in the backstage with his class.

"What was he thinking going out to buy something on his own?" Hanta yelled.

"It's starting!" Toru waved her torso around.

"More people came than I thought." Ochaco peeked slightly out behind the curtain at the crowd, "That crowd's been excited all morning." She looked back to the French student, "Aoyama-kun, where's Deku-kun?"

"What does that dumbass think he's doing at the last moment!" Mineta sweated.

"That's…" Yuga hummed before he ran out, "I'll check the gate!" Everyone take their places then prepare to start as the homeroom teacher head to join the audience and Izuku have finally arrived in his outfit with Yuga, quickly apologizing to everyone before the curtains part away.

"Let's go!" Naruto lift his drumsticks up in air.

"I don't know about this." Aizawa grumbled in the crowd.

"Doubts?!" Hizashi grinned widely, "over what?! I'm hyped!"

"Nobody asked you." The scruffy teacher deadpanned, "Get back to your post."

"I just want a quick look-see!" Present Mic said with a camera, "My son's in the band!"

"Can you see, little kitty?" Tomoko asked Eri, holding her on her shoulders.

"Yeah." Eri uttered.

"There are many in other departments and grades who aren't happy with Yuuei and some blame their frustrations on Class 1-A." Aizawa said to his best friend, "Those malcontents aren't here to have fun. They're here to criticize the performance. I think it's fair to say they're not here for the entertainment."

On the stage, Kyoka take a deep breath as Naruto bring the drumsticks down to smash the drum set, firing a booming sound that jolt everyone in the audience. The band start to play the music loudly and skillfully as the dancers took off before Kyoka shouted, "THANKS FOR COMING!"

"Oh?!" Someone said in the audience as they watch the impressive perform, "This ain't bad!"

"They're in perfect sync!" Someone else commented on the dancers' steps.

"Here it comes!" Tomoko grinned as Izuku tossed Yuga up in air, the laser user fired his quirk up to give a light show to the cheering audience.

"WOOOO!" Hizashi threw his hands up.

"The big stunt's over?!" The search user gasped, "So short!"

"It's over?" Eri asked.

"But look!" Tomoko said as some teenagers on stage use their quirks, "Over there!" Their quirks combine together to create a wild and elegant stage.

"Who want to have some fun?!" Ochaco jumped into the air with Tsuyu's tounge around her torso, "Put your hands up!" She slapped some hands and some people float up in air with safe tape.

"YEAHHHH!" Eri threw her hands up with bright wide grin then point at the show, looking down to Tomoko, "YEAHHH!" The musical show end few minutes later as the audience cheered.

---

"I wish I could've seen Class B's play." Hanta sighed as he heard some comments from the bypassing students about Class 1-B's show, "But we had no choice. Gotta do the cleanup properly." He looked over to Izuku looking down slightly with Toshinori talking to him, "Is he gettin' scolded?" The teenagers watch on as couple teachers join the group before Hound Dog suddenly toss Izuku over to them.

"WHOA!" Someone yelped out, "It's a flying Midoriya!"

"Ah, here comes senpai!" Eijiro hollered out.

"Yoo! Nice job back there!" Mirio waved.

"At first, I was scared because it was so loud, but then everyone started dancing like 'hop, hop'!" Eri said excitingly to Naruto with her grandma next to her, "And then the light went flash and Midoriya disappeared, but…Then everything got cold, like 'fwoosh'!" She lift her hands up above her head, "And then the light was spinning around, and Kyo-mama's voice was like 'Waaah' and I…" Her hands went down, "I said 'Waaaah' too!"

"I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself." Naruto said.

"Oh, are you now?!" Mineta shouted, "Says the gu…" He got beaned in head by Toru with bag of ice.

"Don't you ruin this cute moment!" The invisible girl huffed and the girls nodded in agreement, it's their first time to see Eri this exciting and smile brightly.

"Class A!" Someone called out, "Nice work! We had a great time!"

"Alright!" The redhead grinned, "Thanks, dudes!"

"We're sorry!" Two general students suddenly shouted out, "We went to watch because we were going to ridicule you guys!" They shuffled off.

"Um, okay?" Hanta looked at them weirdly.

"So those were the stressed out people Aizawa was talking about, right?" Eijiro asked Tenya, "I guess this means we got through to them, huh, Iida?"

"Indeed." Tenya nodded, "However! Regardless of their reasons, the fact that there were people watching also means that there were people who were not! And they may still be bottling those feelings inside of them even after today."

"Don't worry about it!" Someone else said, explained that they will tell everyone that they understand the Class 1-A's feeling.

"Hurry and clean up the rest of this ice!" Mineta shouted, "We need to get this over with!"

"Ah, sorry!" The redhead said, "But man, you've been on edge for a while now, huh?"

"We need to hurry, or all the good seats at the beauty contest will be taken!" The pervert screamed.

---

"Kendo!" The announcer said as the orangette break through several boards with a hand chop, "Her stunning dress is torn as she demonstrates her martial arts! A fusion of strength and beauty! What a wonderful performance!" The orangette leave the stage as another one take her place while riding a giant head vision of herself, "The queen of the beauty contest! A third year from the support department! With her high-level ingenuity, she shows off her face to the crowd! A superb performance indeed!"

"What is that thing supposed to do?" Eri asked on Naruto's shoulder.

"You guess is as good as mine." Mirio said before Nejire appear on the stage and she take off in the sky, dancing a bit to everyone's awe.

"A magical dance in midair!" The announcer shouted over the applauding audience, "I was completely drawn in! And now next up…You can cast your votes here! The results will be announced at five! That concludes our event!" The people start to cast their votes and it will end in Nejire's victory in few hours.

"Tonight's gonna be productive!" Mineta shuffled away with a lewd giggle.

"Class C's ghost labyrinth looks badass!" Hanta looked up from the foldable map, "Wanna go?"

"I'm in!" Mina grinned.

"No way." Kyoka shivered, "No. Way!"

"They've got an obstacle course too!" Eijiro said, "Let's have a little completion!"

"Crepes!" Ochaco singsong.

"Oh, Eri-chan." Pony showed up with her arms behind her back, "Find candy apple yet?"

"No, we looked everywhere." Eri looked a little disheartened.

"Look no more." The American girl suddenly held a candy apple out to her with a big smile, "Surprise!"

"Candy apple?" The little girl gasped with bright eyes as she receive the said food from the blonde girl.

"Oh?" Tomoko blinked, "Where did you find it?"

"Naruto and I made it together." Pony answered with a smile, "I look, no candy apple. I learn make it and ask Naruto help me." She looked down to Eri, "Try it."

Eri take a little bite from her candy apple before a cute smile break out all over her face with a happy hum, "Yummy!"

'So adorable.' Almost everyone thought at same time as some quickly try to take a picture with their phones or memorize it.

"Where do you want to go now?" Tomoko smiled at her kittens.

"Ramen stand." Naruto said, "I want to take the Mega Ramen challenge."

"Mm, I want to play some games." Eri ate her candy apple slowly to savor it as she absentmindedly reach up to hold Kyoka's hand with her free hand, the teenager girl get very flustered and startled by the little girl's action but she don't move her hand away.

"Um, I don't mind checking some game stalls out first." Kyoka twirled her jack around her free hand, it give her a good excuse not to visit ghost labyrinth.

"Alright, you can take little kitten with you while I go with my baby kitten." The search user pulled her son in a side-hug happily. Everyone start to split up to visit different classes' attractions in either groups or by themselves.

---

"Eat slowly." Ochaco handed a crepes to Eri as some teenagers make their order at the crepes stall.

"Okay." The little girl start to eat her food.

"That's quite cute juicebox you get there." Tsuyu said to Momo, "Are you planning to keep it?"

"Well, I must recreate it myself since I don't want to draw any ants into my room." Momo replied as she glanced at Cementoss-like juicebox.

"Good idea." Kyoka nodded, "I mean, Shiretoko have four different ant farms in his room and they're all different."

"Shiretoko have what?" Izuku turned his head to her with a rapid blinks.

"Yeah, you hear me, four ant farms." The rocker shook her head amusedly before she count up with her fingers, starting with thumb. "Little black ants, weaver ant, army ant and fire ant."

"W-W-Wait, aren't army ants dangerous?!" The greenette boy dropped his jaw.

"I better inform Aizawa." Tenya took his phone out with a heavy sigh, why can't he stop Naruto from 'adopting' wild life?!

"Yeah, um, not really." The frog teenager turned to him with finger on her chin, "Naruto's ants, for some reason, just stay inside the ant farm box and does not really attack anyone."

"I was quite shocked when I saw them at first." Momo shook her head lightly before she giggled to their confusion, "Ah, my apologies. I just remember that Shiretoko spend hours and hours just staring at his ants and Eri-chan joined him right away, keeping asking us questions about ants like why are they different."

"And did you join the ant-watching?" Tsuyu asked and the creator just blushed lightly at that, she feel a little embarrassed for wasting couple hours watching ants. "By your silence, I take it as yes."

"What are you going to check out next?" Kyoka asked them curiously and before anyone can give her response, they hear a voice behind them.

"Oh, hey, guys!" They turned to see Setsuna approached them with Jurota, Kinoko, Shihai and Sen as she waved to them with toothy grin, "Good work today. Your music show was awesome."

"Back at you, we don't see your show because of cleanup but I heard a lot of people enjoy it and Eri-chan say she like it too." Ochaco said as several teenagers trade some greeting to each other.

"Oh, really?" Setsuna bended down to Eri's eye level with wide grin, "You love our show, do you?"

"Yes, but it was so confusing." Eri giggled happily, something that surprised the 1-B girls.

"True, it was." The lizard-loving girl ruffle the little girl's hair up a little before she glance at the crepe in Eri's hands, "Can Set-mama take a bite of that?"

"Here." The little girl held it up to her and Setsuna take a light bite out of it with a silly face, making the little girl giggle again. Both Setsuna and Kinoko give her a hug as Shihai narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Um, I'm curious, what was Kacchan's role in the play?" Izuku asked.

"Who's Kacchan?" Jurota pushed his glasses up with a raised eyebrow.

"Bakugo Katsuki." The bush-haired boy answered.

"Oh, him." The beast teenager scowled and his classmates also frowned to the green-haired boy's confusion.

"He refuse to take part of the play and never help us out at all." Kinoko said.

"Yeah, he also don't want to come to cultural festival because, in his own word, it's…" Sen paused to look down at the little girl before he clear his throat as he looked back up to his fellow students, "Well, he said a lot of colorful comments."

"Not surprising." Kyoka scoffed, "I bet he would do the same thing if he stay in our class."

"H-He's what?" Izuku jerked his head back slightly, "Um, where is he?"

"At our dorm, why do you ask?" Setsuna frowned slightly.

"I'm going and try convincing Kacchan to come to the festival." The green-haired boy said.

"No, don't do th…" The rocker was about to stop him but Izuku already jogged off as she huffed annoyingly, "And he's gone."

"Please don't tell me he'll bring Bakugo here?" The greenette girl grimaced.

"No, Bakugo won't listen to him if he tried to." Tsuyu said.

"Really?" Sen raised his eyebrow, "I mean, I thought they were pretty close enough to be couple because he stop by our class often, asking for Bakugo."

"C-Couple?" Ochaco jolted up, "Um, I don't think Deku is…"

"Oh, okay, sorry for making assumption." He shrugged his shoulders and the gravity girl nodded before she pause for a moment to think about something.

"Who are they talking about?" Eri asked Tsuyu while nibbling her sweets.

"A mean boy that you should stay away." The frog girl replied bluntly, "I'll show you his picture later so you'll know who to stay away from." She don't want the little girl to be around the explosive user, courtesy of his swears and violent nature.

"Like Creepy Mineta?" The little girl asked.

"Yes, like Creepy Mineta." Kyoka can't help but to chuckled at Eri's nickname for the pervert and she wasn't the only one.

"Oh, where's Shiretoko, by the way?" Kinoko asked after she looked around.

"He went to ramen stand with his mother for the Mega challenge." Momo answered.

"…Oh, so that's why Class 3-E were crying." Jurota said to his classmates, they saw a lot of empty bowls in this stand with several wailing students on their way.

"Mm, no wonder why Yanagi said she want to go to ramen stand." Setsuna rubbed her chin before she notice 1-A class members' curious looks, "I overheard her practicing her confession the other day, she's planning to use today to ask Shiretoko out."

"She's confessing to him?!" Kyoka widened her eyes in surprise.

"Oh my…" The creator muttered.

"…What's confession?" Eri asked curiously.

"We'll tell you later." Ochaco patted the little girl's head before she look up to the 1-B students, "Hey, you want to stick with us for a while or not?"

"Sure." Setsuna nodded with few others, "Have you guys hit any game stalls yet? I heard there's a Milk Bottle game." The group walk together, chatting a bit as Kinoko held hands with Eri.

At same time, Izuku will later get stopped by Aizawa on his way then forced him to go back to enjoy the festival.

---

Naruto held a empty elegant ramen bowl with few plushies inside as he stand near several stalls and all of sudden, he hear someone call his name out before he turn his head to see Reiko approached him bashfully. "Hello, Shiretoko." She said.

"Hello, Yanagi." Naruto greeted back.

"Um…" Reiko glanced around to make sure their friends and classmates are not near while fighting her nervousness down, "I-I have something to tell you…"

"What is it?" He tilted his head to her as his body turned to face her.

"W-W-When we first meet, I-I-I…" She take a deep breath until someone pop up in between them with a wide grin, nearly startled the ghost girl.

"Naru-chan, I found some adorable ear headbands!" Tomoko grinned widely as she placed orange headband with cat ears on her son's head, "And one in your favorite color!" She noticed the ghost girl, "Oh? Are you my son's friend?"

"A-Ah, you're his mother." Reiko immediately recognize Ragdoll as she remembered the tidbit, "And yes, I am…"

"Oh, that's wonderful!" The hyper woman's smile widened, "Would you like to join us? I want to know more about you! Come on!" She raced ahead while dragging her son and Reiko by their arms to several random attractions.

'Damn it…' The ghost girl moaned mentally at her failed attempt. Maybe she'll get another chance soon once they're alone, after all the festival is not over yet.

---

It was around lunchtime when most 1-A students met up with few more from 1-B class as they eat lunch in groups at the tables and Yui wipe some crumbs off Eri's cheeks while the little girl eat her peanut and jelly sandwich. "And Itsuka-mama was so cool when she break the bricks." Eri babbled happily.

"Yes, she was." Mina laughed before she turn to the said orangette, "But I'm surprised that you took part in Miss Con and didn't tell us about it."

"Ah, I was forced into it." Itsuka sighed with a embarrassing blush, "And I have no choice but to participate."

"Monoma signed her up without her knowledge so he can make some 'troubles'." Juzo chuckled lightly.

"Did he?" Hanta asked.

"Nah, some of us made sure to club him whenever he act up." The soft user replied.

"It's true, I witnessed that Awase guy beating Monoma up with plank." Ochaco remembered the event with a nod.

"The ghost labyrinth was totally scary!" Toru waved her arms as she talked to some of her friends, "I just bolted right out of this classroom as soon as we found the exit!"

"Ooh, I should go check it out after that." Eijiro looked interest enough to visit the ghost labyrinth.

"You should." The invisible girl nodded before she hear something near her.

"Where's Yanagi at?" Manga asked Juzo.

"Looking for Shiretoko, I overheard Tokage saying something about confession." Juzo replied and the invisible girl nearly inhale her food down the wrong airway. She quickly drink water to clear her airway with few small coughs, drawing couple concerning looks and she quickly wave it off with free hand.

'She's going to tell him…And what will be his answer?' Toru wonder and she feel something stirring in her stomach, it bother her for some reason.

"Oh, Shiretoko, you're back with Yanagi…" Hanta was first to spot both Naruto and Tomoko with Reiko, who have a gloomy aura around her, and…"AND WHY ARE YOU CARRYING HATSUME?!" Almost everyone turned around to see Naruto carrying the sleeping pinkette bride style, the girl was drooling with her arms around his neck.

"I found her." Naruto replied.

"Y-Y-You found her…?" The tape-elbowed teenager sweatdropped at his answer, "Please don't tell me you decide to take people in now."

"My son comes across her while she was sleeping in the gutter and we can't leave her there, which is why he's carrying her." Tomoko laughed lightly as the Noumu put Mei down on a bench next to them.

"Hey, did you confessed?" Setsuna whispered to Reiko.

"No, everything keep getting in my way…" Reiko exhaled, several heard her with different reactions.

"Papa!" Eri eagerly held a large cookie up to her father as soon as he sit down next to her, "Say ah!"

"Ah?" Naruto opened his mouth puzzlingly before the little girl push part of cookie into his mouth and he instinctively bite it.

"It's tasty, right?" The young girl asked with a bright expression, "It's a chocolate cookie with candies in it!"

"Yes, it is." He nodded as his daughter gave him the rest of cookie happily then crawl onto his lap, resuming eat her lunch.

"Ah, no wonder why she save this one and refuse to give it to us all day." Setsuna chuckled at the sweet sight.

"That and you tend to eat everything that was handed to you." Yui said flatly and her friend don't look ashamed by that.

---

After the announcement of Miss Con winner, who happen to be Nejire, the cultural festival was drawing close to the end as most classes start to clean up and Naruto was carrying Eri with most of his friends back to their dorm, Tomoko have left to chat with some teachers. The little girl appear to be very tired from the excitement of today as her eyes closed and her arms wrap around his neck while holding onto her purse, filled with prizes and sweets. "She's corked out, huh?" Yugo chuckled lightly.

"Yeah, I guess she'll have a little naptime before dinner." Rikido said as everyone enter the dorm and Naruto lie Eri on sofa while Tsuyu fetch one of blankets from shared closet to put it over the little girl.

"Papa…" Eri slowly creaking one of her eyes open as she looked up to Naruto and she sleepily wave him closer, the blonde take a knee to bend closer to her with a blink. "I love you." She kissed his cheek before she went back to sleep with a small yawn and Naruto feel something warm bubbling up inside his chest, confusing himself. He get up with tilted head and he start to shift his weight from side to side few times as if he don't know what to do next.

"What's the matter?" Kyoka noticed his action with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm confused." Naruto turned to her, "When our daughter tell me she love me, my chest feel warm and funny."

"Funny, like what?" The rocker thinks it over.

"Tingly and fuzzy…" He reached up to touch his cheeks, "Ah, I have strange twitches in my cheeks as if they want to go up for some reason."

"Oh, sounds like you're happy." Kyoka said, "Nothing like parental love to get you all warm and fuzzy inside when your little girl tell you she love you."

"I'm happy?" Naruto blinked rapidly as he looked down to his hands, "So that is how it feel like? Happy…Parental love…It's so strange…"

"Feelings are strange but you get used to it after a while." She said.

"I see." The Noumu muttered.

---

"It was nice of Yuuei to give us couple days off after the festival." Mina cheered as she lazing around on couch in common room.

"But we still have heroic lesson at afternoon while the support department has their own class." Fumikage pointed out, it only has been a day after the cultural festival. The reason why the school was given few days off is because there are still a lot of cleanup to do, considering the numerous of classes.

"Oh, right." The acid user rolled onto her stomach, "What are we gonna learn today?"

"Obstacle course with our quirks applying." Tenya replied.

"Again?" Rikido groaned, "Don't we do that last week?" When will there be a combat training?

While the teenagers were discussing about upcoming training, Eri was watching a show as it get closer to end and she think about two things that she saw in this show. It make her curious and want to try them out. She get up to approach Naruto at 'homework' table, the blonde was working on his homework with Yuga, Toru and Pony. Eri was about to reach up to get her papa's attention before she retract it, unsure if it's selfish or not. It's the first time she'll ask for something on her own. She pump herself up before she tug Naruto's shirt, drawing his attention to her. "Yes, Eri?" Naruto looked down to her.

"Um…" Eri fidgeted with her hands, "Can I learn how to swim? And can we have a sleepover with all mamas?"

"Ooh, sleepover?!" Toru perked up at the little girl's request before she pick her phone up to open the Unicorn Moms chat group, "Let me ask the girls."

"Sure, we will go to pool today." The Noumu get up, "Let's go get the swimsuits first."

"Ok, papa!" The little girl hopped excitingly as she held hands with her papa and they head to the elevator to fetch the swimsuits.

"Ah, I better send the request to Aizawa-sensei right now before they come down." Momo send a text to her teacher before she pause for a moment, "And I think I should go with them to make sure they do it safe and properly." She don't know if Naruto will teach Eri how to swim proper and what if Naruto mistakenly place their daughter in deep end of the pool without safety tools like water wings?

"Alright, pool party!" Mina grinned widely until she drop it when she hear some lewd giggle in the background, "…Yaomomo, can you shoot one to sensei to ask Cementoss to turn the school pool into indoor pool for today? So we can block perverts out?"

"Already did and got both approved." The creator nodded as they ignored the sorrowful wail from the resident pervert.

---

"Hold still, Eri-chan." Tsuyu fastened the water wings on the little girl's forearms as Eri bounce back and forth in pure excitement, it's as if she have broke out from her shell during the festival and become a little hyper. Of course, she's still shy and sweet girl who would hide behind her father's legs whenever some strangers she don't know come up to talk to 1-A classmates. Eri wear a one piece pink with white polka-dots swimsuit. "Ok, all done." She bop Eri's nose with index finger, "You can go to your dad now."

"Thank, Tsu-mama!" Eri hugged her while pecking her cheek before she race toward Naruto, who wear a orange-and-black swim pant, as Tenya shout 'no running' which fall upon deaf ears.

"You're welcome." The frog teenager stand up as she take a glance around at the indoor pool, all of her female classmates were present along with several boys, Tenya, Yuga and Eijiro, and they were joined with the girls from 1-B class with two boys, Tetsutetsu and Juzo, and the Big Three. Most of the boys from her class stay behind to keep one eye on Mineta and make sure he don't try to go to peek on the pool. But if the pervert slips past the boys, he will be stopped by Hound Dog outside, who have volunteered as the security of the pool. 'We should send him and Aizawa-sensei a thank-you gift later.' It was the underground hero's idea.

"Here." Yuga gave Eri a orange kickboard, "You ready for your swimming lesson?"

"Hai, Uncle Yuga!" The little girl nodded eagerly.

"Please call me big brother instead…" The French teenager looked dejected, despite a smile on his face as Naruto bring Eri into the swallow end of the pool with Ibara and Itsuka. Eri have started to call few teenager boys who are close to her uncle and some 'uncles' have mixed feelings for being called uncle by a girl who would pass off as their little sister.

"So what make Eri-chan want to do that?" Setsuna asked Toru curiously, it was the invisible girl who invited them in first place.

"Dunno, she asked Naruto after her cartoon show." The invisible girl shrugged, "Maybe it was showing sleepover and pool?"

"Mm, gotcha." The greenette hummed thoughtfully, "…Hey, now I think about it. It's first time Eri-chan ask for something herself."

"Oh, you're right." Toru clapped her hands together, "She have become outgoing lately since yesterday." She giggled, "Maybe we'll see more part of ourselves in her."

"I hope so." Setsuna laughed.

"You're doing great, Eri-chan." Itsuka coached the said girl with a gentle smile as Eri make efforts to kick her legs while Ibara keep her hands under Eri to keep her floating, "Don't make a big kick, keep them small. Yes, like that. Good." Near them, Naruto stand awkwardly with his hands up while moving his torso side to side as if he's struggling to make some decisions.

"Shiretoko, come and help us fill them up!" Mina waved him over as she tried her best to fill a tube up manually, Juzo, Tamaki and Ochaco were using air pump to inflate pool floats up.

"Ok." Naruto joined their group to help them out.

About ten minutes later, most teenagers were relaxing around and some sweatdrop at Naruto when he acting awkward again near his daughter. "…It's his first time in pool, right?" Eijiro sweatdropped slightly, "Should we do something?"

"I got this one." Setsuna grinned impishly before she holler out to the Noumu, "Shiretoko, you should know that! When you're at pool, the first thing you need to do is check the babes out…"

"NO, DON'T LISTEN TO HER!" Ibara whipped her head around.

"TOKAGE!"

"Nice!" Mina laughed.

"OI!" Several teenager yelled at the laughing reptile-loving teenager.

"…What is babe?" Naruto tilted his head confusingly and most teenagers stare at him with some pauses.

"Oh, babe is…" The greenette with sharp teeth grinned teasingly, only to have her mouth covered by Ibara's vines.

"Shiretoko, come and play with us." Itsuka called him over with a small sweatdrop, holding Eri up.

"Yes, how do we play in the pool?" Naruto walked over to them.

"We splash each other." The orangette splashed him with a small smirk and it become a big smile when Eri make many splashes at him with cute laughter. The blonde return it with big splash, causing the girls to squeal out with laughter.

"No splashing!" Tenya cried with chopping arms.

"Light up, bro." Eijiro waved it off with a light chuckle, "Just let them have their fun. It's good for them." Most teenagers nodded in agreement.

"B-B-But it's against…" The speedster stuttered.

"Is he always like that?" Juzo whispered to Pony in English.

"Yup, but you'll get used to him after a while." Pony laughed before she jump into the pool then swim toward the trio, "Let me join! Tag-team, Shiretoko!"

"I'm coming in." Reiko immediately joined to get close to her crush and hope that he'll notice her two-piece swimsuit.

"Oh, I get some water guns for the water battle!" Nejire jumped in with two small water guns and several teenagers take part in the water battle with guns and balloons.

"NO, CEASE IT RIGHT NOW!" Tenya cried out before he slump on his limbs when no one listen to him, "T-T-The rules…The order…"

"Um, there, there?" The soften user patted the dejected speedster's back awkwardly while everyone have fun together in their own ways.

"Alright, the first-ever family slumber party start now!" Mina cheered with several girls as they lift a cup up, the girls were in the large room on third floor in their pajamas and Mei was also present in the group. The couches and sofas have been pushed back to the walls and there is a princess castle-style tent in the back with child-size sleeping bag inside. "Cheer!" Most teenager girls said together.

"Cheer." Eri lift a glass of apple juice up above her head as she sit on Naruto's laps, the girl wear yellow pajamas set with white sleeves and picture of cartoonish fox on chest and the Noumu wear orange t-shirt with black pajama.

"I'm surprised we were able to get permission from senseis right away." Kinoko sipped her soda with a smile.

"Well, they were okay with it as long as we stay inside the dorms past curfew." Itsuka said, "They trust us to not do anything crazy…" She shot Setsuna a warning look and the said girl just held her hands up with a toothy grin.

"What does one do at sleepover?" Naruto asked and Eri realize that she don't know anything about sleepover so she look at the girls curiously.

"It depends because there are really a lot of things." Toru said, "Share stories, play games, watch movies, talking and etc. It's up to whoever hosting the sleepover…Which is Eri-chan!" She tilted her body toward the said girl, "What do you want to do?"

"Oh, um…" Eri scrunched her face in deep thought before she gasp, "Oh! Movie and games!"

"Since the games will take long time to finish, we'll start with the movie first." Momo set up the projector, connected to a laptop and she pull up a list of family-friendly movies. "Eri-chan, pick out what you want to see."

"I'll make a quick run to the kitchen to make us some popcorn." Ochaco swiftly leave the room with Tsuyu then they came back few minutes later with few bowls of popcorn as Eri finally find a movie that catch her interest and everyone make themselves comfortable.

"What did she chose?" Tsuyu asked Momo.

"One hundred and one Dalmatians." The creator answered.

"Of course she'll pick this one." The frog girl giggled with croaks noise, "Dogs are her favorite animals."

"True." Momo crack a smile, the little girl really enjoys playing with puppies and there's always a puppy sleeping with her every night.

"Snuggle bug!" Nejire suddenly wrap a fuzzy blanket around Eri, Naruto and herself then tickling the little girl's stomach to make her giggle.

"…What's snuggle bug?" Eri asked with some giggles.

"Someone that you really love very much that you want to snuggle up to all day and night." The wave user replied as she nuzzled her cheek against the little girl's head, "And you're my snuggle bug."

"Is papa snuggle bug?" The little girl wiggled closer to cuddle up in between Naruto and Nejire.

"Yes, he is." Nejire leaned against the noumu's shoulder to make herself comfortable.

"Mamas too?" Eri asked.

"Yeah, they can be." The blue-haired teenager smiled down to her.

The little girl turn to the teenager girls around her with her arms up, "Mamas, please snuggle bug with us!"

"Ok." Reiko immediately claim a place next to Naruto before anyone can blink, her arms wrap around his arm under the blanket.

"Oh, I'm afraid there are not enough room for everyone to get under this blanket." Itsuka smiled as the little girl pouted while several girls joined the cuddling group on different sides, "But tell you what, we'll take turns to be your snuggle bugs."

"Okay!" Eri brighten up before she turn her attention to the movie as soon as it start and the teenagers quietly eat their snacks, make some small talks in soft tone.

"LET ME GO UP THERE!" Mineta screamed with blood tears as he struggle to escape the tapes that bound him to the wall in common room, "I WANNA JOIN THE SLUMBER PARTY AND WATCH THEM DO DIRTY THINGS LIKE PLAYING STRIP GAMES, MAKE OUT AND GROPING MOMO'S TI…"

"No, we are not allowed to join their sleepover." Tenya stopped him, "Please respect their wishes."

"Oh, so it's okay for this Shiretoko bastard to be there with them?!" The pervert glared dirty, "I bet you right now, he's fu…"

"Eri want her father to be there with them and the girls allow it because they trust him well enough to not do anything to them, unlike you." The speedster cut him off.

"Yeah, she wants it to be family-only slumber party." Eijiro tossed some chips inside his mouth as the boys watch some action movie on television.

"We should go up there right now or they'll say they're his bitches when they come down tomorrow morning!" Mineta shouted, "Let's go up and get our dicks sucked and pound…" He was immediately shut up when Hanta taped his mouth shut.

"Geez, sometime I wonder how the hell did this guy passed the exam in first place." Hanta exhaled annoyingly, he also wonder why he don't tape this pervert's mouth in first place.

"Same here, you could assume that a famous school like Yuuei would run background check on possible students but I guess I was wrong about that." Mezo said before he notice something, "Todoroki, what are you doing?"

"The girls asked me to write everything Mineta said down and give it to them tomorrow so they can decide what to do with him." Shoto wrote into a notepad.

"…Welp, better find a shovel and start digging a hole." Eijiro snickered and the pervert paled with trembling body.

---

After played few board games, Eri walked around with sleepy expression and a small smile as she gave everyone hugs and good-night kisses while Setsuna wait for her to go inside the tent so she can tuck her in, Naruto was petting a pitbull puppy next to the greenette. "Good night, Toru-mama." Eri hugged the said teenager before she walk up to the tent, crawl inside and into her sleeping bag.

"Comfy?" Setsuna asked, placing few stuffed animals closer to the little girl while Naruto put the puppy down as the creature rest its head on top of Eri's torso.

"Yes." The little girl run her hand through the puppy's fur with small yawns.

"Did you have fun today?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, papa!" Eri smiled brightly, "I have a lot of fun!"

"We're going to zip it up but don't worry, we're right outside if you need us for something." The greenette said.

"Okay." Eri replied before she receive and give good-night kisses from Naruto and Setsuna, "Night, Set-mama, papa." She slowly fall asleep together with the puppy as Setsuna quietly zip the tent flap up to close before the teenagers join the rest a little far away from the tent, the light dim down a little.

"Is she asleep now?" Pony asked them.

"Yup, she passed out almost right away." Setsuna chuckled, "Now she won't be up until tomorrow morning." The little girl turn out to be a heavy sleeper and would sleep through pretty much anything until one of her parent wake her up with a gentle shake.

"So now what?" Momo asked curiously.

"Let's watch some cheesy romcom movies!" Toru smiled widely with waving arms and some girls seems to agree with her.

"Or…" The reptile-loving teenager gain a mischievous expression as she jiggle a bottle up by its neck, "We can play truth or dare." Some gasped in shock and the greenette can see her friends about to shout at her, "Family-friendly, of course." That did shut some up but they still look doubtful about it.

"…What is truth or dare?" The creator asked innocently as she turned to someone next to her, who happen to be Naruto.

"I don't know." Naruto replied, "Maybe they'll explain it to us?"

"No, no, no." Kyoka waved hand in front of her face, "Let's just watch something." There's no way she'll let her friends do something embarrassing or be tainted by something.

"I don't know…" Toru hummed, "I want to play this game instead."

"Um, I'm not sure about it…" Ibara muttered and most start to debating about it for a while until…

"Hey, hey, how about we put it to vote?" Setsuna said, "Truth or Dare game or movie times. Whatever win, we all go ahead and do it." Most girls think it over few times before they accept it and they write it down in papers that Momo was kind enough to produce with her quirk.

---

"Un-freakin'-believable." Kyoka grumbled with a twitching eyebrow as the girls and Naruto sit in a circle with bottle in middle and they were all sitting randomly. "I can't believe how many of you all vote for this game!" Some gave her a teasing smirk or refuse to meet her eyes.

"Before we start the game, let me explain the rules to the first-timers." Setsuna glanced around with a exciting grin, "We are playing a spinning-the-bottle version of Truth or Dare. A player will spin the bottle and ask a person to chose truth or dare whom the bottle pointing at after its spin. If you chose truth, the player will ask you any question and you have to answer it truthfully. If you go with the dare, you have to do the dare that the player gives you. If you refuse to answer or do the dare, you'll get a punishment, which is a flick to forehead. The person that got picked will spin the bottle and ask the next person truth or dare and so on. Everyone clear?" Most gave her understanding nods.

"Um, question?" Momo raised her hand up, "How do you end the game?"

"Usually, it end when most agreed to stop the game there." The greenette with sharp teeth answered and the creator bring her hand down with a small nod. "Alright, I'll start…"

"No, I'm starting it first." Itsuka reach out to the bottle as the greenette stared at her with dropped jaw, "Because I know you. You'll say something inappropriate and demand us to go big to top the last one."

"…Yeah, you got me there." Setsuna sighed, "Go and spin the bottle." The battle fist user spun the bottle and everyone waited with baited breath until it stop pointing to…

"Tsuyu, truth or dare?" The orangette asked.

"Truth." The frog girl chose without any hesitance.

"Let's see…" Itsuka think about it, "…Who do you text the most?"

"My parent." Tsuyu answered, "I texted them almost everyday to let them know that I'm okay and how's my siblings doing. Oh, and to send them pictures of Eri-chan." The orangette nodded at that, "It's my turn to spin it, right?" She spun the bottle until it stop, "Kinoko, truth or dare?"

"Um, dare." Kinoko replied.

"I dare you to call one of your friend, pretending it's their birthday and sing them happy birthday." The frog girl said.

"Ooh, nice!" Mina snickered along with few girls.

"Oh, that's easy." The mushroom user pulled her phone out then calls someone.

"Hey, what's up?" A male voice spoke and the brunette suddenly sing a happy birthday song to him.

"Happy birthday!" Kinoko giggled.

"W-W-What? It's not my bi…" The voice stuttered in pure confusion before the mushroom girl hung up on it and most girls laughed together.

"W-W-Who was it?" Toru asked through some giggles.

"Fukidashi, from 1-B class." The giggling brunette spun the bottle.

"You understand how it play now, right?" Ochaco smiled to Momo and Naruto.

"Hai, I think I understand it now." Momo nodded with clasped hands, seem to be eager as the Noumu nod.

"Setsuna, truth or dare?" Kinoko asked.

"Hit me with the truth." Setsuna smirked.

"If there is anything you should change about yourself, what would it be?" The mushroom user asked.

"Nothing, I'm perfect as the way I am." The greenette puffed her chest up proudly, earn couple eyerolls. "Alright, my turn! Hehe!" She spun the bottle eagerly and almost every girl held their breath. "…Mina! Truth or dare?"

"Dare." Mina grinned eagerly.

"I dare you to let everyone here look through your phone for a minute." Setsuna grinned coyly.

"Go ahead, I get nothing to hide." The acid user unlocked her phone so everyone can look through it for a whole minute and the reptile-loving girl was disappointed to find nothing dirty inside. "Alright, who'll be my victim?" The pink-skinned girl spun the bottle with a wicked giggle, "Ochaco, truth or dare?"

"Um, truth." The gravity girl decided to pick a safe option…

"Tell us what do you really think of Midoriya?" Mina grinned wickedly and the brunette now regret her choice as most turned to her curiously.

"Um, he's nice and good friend?" Ochaco said, "I really respect and admire him for working hard toward his goal."

"That's not what I mean." The pink-skinned girl groaned, "I mean, what do you think of him in romantic sense."

"N-N-N-No, t-there's nothing between us!" The gravity girl waved her hands frantically, "We're friends, just friends!"

"Are you sure about that, mm, mmm?" Mina smirked.

"Hey, lay off." Itsuka decided to stepped in, "You just asked her what she think of her friend and she told you the truth." The acid user backed off with a childish pout before the orangette turned to the gravity girl, "Go ahead and spin the bottle."

"T-Thank." Ochaco quickly spun the bottle right away with a thought in her head, '…But I don't know about my feeling for Deku…' The bottle stopped, "Ah, Hatsume, truth or dare?"

"Truth." Mei shrugged her shoulders.

"Um, what's…" The gravity girl struggled, "Your favorite…Food?" She finished lamely.

"Chocolate." The pinkette replied before she spun the bottle, "Yaoyorozu, truth or dare?"

"Truth." Momo clapped.

"Can you create a tungsten staff with diamond caps?" Mei asked.

"…Wha…" The creator blinked for a moment before she ponder on it, "Um…I don't…Wait…Can I…?" She held her palm up before a tungsten staff with diamond caps expand out with a pop and the creator stare at it bewilderedly, "…Yes, I can? I…" She seems to have a little mental breakdown, "Why don't I think of that…"

"Um, I think we need a little break." Kyoka placed hand on her best friend's shoulder with concern.

---

The game resume and there were a lot of turns as Mina ask the next person, "Shiretoko, the father of our sweet angel, truth or dare?"

"I chose truth." Naruto replied and the acid user's grin widened as her eyes dart to two certain girls.

"If two girls ask you out on a date and want to be your girlfriends, what would you do?" The acid user asked.

"Out on a date?" The blonde blinked, "Do you mean…"

"…Hold on, let me explain dates and girlfriends to him first." Mina held her hand up to everyone with a weary sigh, sometime she forget how innocent the resident Noumu can be…And little dense. She gave him an quick explanation, even use internet on her phone to help him understand. "Get it?"

"I understand." Naruto nodded, "And to answer your question…I will be honest, I do not understand the concept of romantic relationship, intimate love and many other things…But if two girls want to date me, I suggest us to try polyamory relationship."

"…Wait, excuse me?" The acid girl gave him a funny look, "Polyamory…I mean, you have to pick one…"

"Why?" The Noumu blinked, "According to the laws, polyamory relationship is not illegal."

"…Really?" Mina bring her phone up to look it up, "…Holy…I don't know that!"

"Quiet!" Ibara shushed her, glancing back at the tent to make sure they don't accidentally wake their daughter up with the pink-skinned girl's shout. It don't.

"Sorry, sorry." The acid user blushed embarrassingly, "But if it's true, then why isn't there a lot of this kind of relationship around?"

"Well, polyamory relationship is pretty rare." Tsuyu said as several girls looked at her curiously, "My friend's mother is married to two men and one woman."

"What Tsuyu said is right." Momo confirmed, "Polyamory relationship in Japan is not illegal for a long time but it's less practiced."

"…Why is it legal in first place?" Mina asked confused.

"To counter the lowest rate of birth, the government introduce the bill to make polygamous legal and it was passed quietly, due to some circumstances." Naruto answered, "The law wasn't discovered until over five decades have been passed and instead of taking it down, they decide to hold it up since then."

"What circumstances?" Toru asked and some girls looked curious about that.

"The discovery of the quirks." He answered.

"Oh." The invisible girl uttered and it was quiet for a moment until…

"…I believe it's my turn to spin the bottle, yes?" Naruto reach down to spin the bottle and some girls were grateful that he break the silence. "Tokage, truth or dare."

"Dare." Setsuna said upbeat, she was getting tired of people picking truth many times.

"I dare you to drink a cup of ramen broth in one shot." He lift a red cup of pure ramen broth up to some confusions.

"…When did you get that?" Kyoka arched her eyebrow at him oddly, no one have seen him bring a ramen in or even eat it…Did he get another quirk without them knowing?!

"Just now." Naruto replied.

"Um, yeah, hard pass." The greenette grimaced, she don't want to wreck herself up with sodium and she don't know what temperature the broth is at.

"Then does that mean I have to flick your forehead?" He asked.

"Yup." Setsuna pushed some hairs aside to reveal her forehead as the Noumu reach over to flick her…Hard. "G-G-Gak!" She almost fall on her back as a red welt appear on her forehead, "G-Geez, you don't hold back, huh?"

"Was I supposed to?"

"No, you did good." Yui said and some girls confirmed with some mutters while giggling at the groaning greenette.

"Alright, here we go…" The reptile-loving girl spun the bottle before she smirked at them, "I think it's time to ramp it up a little." The bottle stopped, "Yanagi, truth or dare?"

"…Dare." Reiko answered.

"I dare you to cop butt of whomever the bottle land on." Setsuna grinned toothily, spinning the bottle with a flick.

'Naruto-kun, Naruto-kun, Naruto-kun.' The ghost girl chanted mentally, she's tempted to use her quirk on the spinning bottle but they'll catch her in act. The bottle end up pointing to…

"Mm." Yui raised up slightly on her knees as if she have already accept her fate.

'Dammit.' Reiko copped the emotionless girl's rear for a moment before she spin the bottle, "…Hagakure, truth or dare?"

"Truth." Toru chirped.

"What's the craziest thing you have ever done?" The ghost girl asked.

"Woo, that is going to be one long story." The invisible girl laughed, "One time in middle school on a trip, I went to a onsen and…"

---

Several turns later and the game become a little wild but nothing more, due to a sleeping little girl in tent, it was Toru's turn and everyone wait for the bottle to stop spinning. "Naruto, truth or dare?" Toru asked.

"I chose dare." Naruto replied.

"Let me think, I dare you to…" The invisible girl think deeply on how to top the last dare, "Mmm…" She decide to say the first thing that come to her mind, "I dare you to give everyone here ten surprising kisses each any day, any time, any where! If the girls give you a kiss on their own, it don't count."

"…H-H-Hagakure!" Several girls cried out in shock, some have different expressions ranging from embarrassing to blank. The girls quickly quiet down as they looked over to the tent to make sure they don't wake their daughter up, Eri was still sleeping to their relief. Kyoka turn her head to the invisible girl, "H-Hey, just give him a different da…"

"Ok." Naruto nodded, "I'll start now by giving everyone a kiss." He turned to his right, which happens to be Ochaco.

"W-W-W-Wait! WAIT!" The gravity girl waved her hands with flustered face, "I-I-I don…" He pecked her cheek, "…Huh?" She felt relieved that it was just a simple innocent kiss as the Noumu peck every teenager's cheeks before they know it.

"Done, everyone have their first kiss." He nodded.

"…Poot, just a kiss on cheek?" Setsuna pouted childishly, "You should go with different kisses and anywhere on our body like French kiss…"

"No, do not tell this pure soul to…" Ibara hissed.

"Ok, I shall give everyone different kind of kisses." Naruto nodded and the vine-haired teenager looked like she want to strangle her fellow greenette with her vines. He spin the bottle, "…Yangai, truth or dare…"

"Dare me to do seven minutes in heaven with you." Reiko spoke quickly.

"I dare you to do sev…" He said before Kyoka swiftly cover his mouth with a smack of her hand.

"Don't." Kyoka hissed before she shot the ghost girl a glare, "You're not supposed to do that, tell someone to give you a dare you want! He don't know what Seven minutes in heaven is!" There were several girls who looked puzzled about Seven Minutes in Heaven.

"…What is seven minutes in heaven?" Naruto asked as soon as the rocker removed her hand, "Is it literal or figure of speech for something?"

"See?" The rocker deadpanned at her proven point, "Shiretoko, give her different da…"

"You're just mad because you don't think it first." The ghost girl huffed.

"Wha?!" Kyoka widened her eyes at her with gaping mouth.

"Let's be real, you will tell him to do that if the bottle end up pointing at you so you can make out with him." Reiko said.

"No, I won't!" The rocker half-shouted with red face.

"Yes, you will." The ghost girl replied, "If you think you can get ahead because Shiretoko's close to you out of everyone here, you're wrong because I'm not going down without a fight."

"Say the girl that kept chickening out every time." Setsuna whispered under her breath with a deadpan expression.

"Whoa, whoa, what the hell are you talking about?!" Kyoka held her hand out.

"Oh, don't pretend like there's nothing going on between you two." Reiko said.

"T-T-There is nothing going on b-b-between…" The blushing rocker hissed before someone took an action without any warning as she open the closet then grabs both girls by their arms.

"You know what?" Mina suddenly dragged both Kyoka and Reiko toward the closet with unexpected strength, "You guys talk it out together! Shiretoko, get in the closet!"

"Ok?" Naruto stepped inside the closet in puzzlement.

"W-What the heck are you doing, A-Ashi…" Kyoka cried out before she got shoved inside together with Reiko and the door closed on them. The rocker quickly reach for the knob, only to rattling it. "…This bitch." The acid user just blocked the door with something and she can hear some voices whispered-shouting outside then there was nothing but silence. 'How the fuck did we end up in here?' The rocker cussed mentally, everything happened in a blur and she don't know how to react but one thing she know is…She is going to kill Mina as soon as they get out of this closet.

"…Why are we in the closet?" The blonde suddenly asked as the rocker spun around to face him…Up close. The closet was pretty narrow yet can fit three people in, despite how cramp it feel right now.

"I assume we're doing seven minutes in heaven…" Reiko shot Kyoka a sideway look, "With someone uninvi…"

"We are not doing this game!" Kyoka cut her off with a hiss, "We should do something to get out of here!"

"Then you can get out so we can make out." The ghost girl narrowed her eyes.

"No, you can't make out with him!" The rocker rubbed her forehead annoyingly.

"Why not?" Reiko glared at her, "I love him more than you do and I always have since the first day we met." There was a pause for few moments before the ghost girl remember her crush is inside with them as her face become red, "Um…."

"So you love me?" Naruto tilted his head as the ghost girl want to die from embarrassment, that is not how she want her confession to go. "I see…You love me and I believe I'm in love with Jiro." He cupped his chin, "How interesting, is that a coincidence when Ashido asked me about it earlier?" His gaze shift to the girls in front of him, "To repeat myself… I will be honest, I do not understand the concept of romantic relationship and intimate love. As you two know, I am inexperience in many things and incapable of understanding emotions and social cues. May I suggest us to try polyamory relationship? Maybe it will help us understand our feelings and learn more about ourselves. I admit, as well as we know, I'm very inexperience when it come to that but one thing I know is that I will try my best to make you two happy." He paused, "…Is that okay for us to try?"

"…Shire…" Kyoka muttered.

"Does that mean I'm your girlfriend now?" Reiko cut her off, perking up and the rocker looked at her bewilderedly.

"Yes, if you wish to, I'll accept you." Naruto nodded.

"Then I will." The ghost girl squealed happily.

"H-H-Hey, do you know that mean you have to share him?!" The bewildered rocker stared at her.

"I'm fine as long as I'm with him and beside, we just confirmed that polyamory relationship is legal not long time ago." Reiko replied as she leaned her front against Naruto's chest to nuzzle her face into it happily and the rocker don't know whether to facepalm or sweatdrop with twitching eyebrow.

"Jiro?" The Noumu turned his face to her, "What about you?"

"What, me?" Kyoka turned to him with a rapid blinks.

"Will you accept me as your boyfriend?" Naruto asked her as the ghost girl snuggled up to his chest, "Can we please give it a try?"

"You…I…But…" The rocker stuttered, completely at loss for words before she throw her hands up. "You know what? Fine. I'm giving it a chance." She froze still as soon as she realizes what she just said, '…Wait, did I just…' She become confused as she glanced up to Naruto, does that mean she have some feeling for him? But how can it be? They have been friends for few months, not to mention everything they went through. Before Kyoka can think more about it, she decide to go fuck it and leave it to her future self to figure herself out. She nearly squeak out when Naruto slide his left arm behind her then pull her in a hug, "W-W-Why did you do that?" She asked with a blush across her nose, her jacks become a little haywire.

"To make our relationship status official." He tilted his head, "Don't new couples accept each other by hugging the moment they get in a relationship? Or am I mistaken?"

"N-No, y-y-you're not, I-I guess…" Kyoka rest her head on his chest with a growing blush.

"…You know there is another way to make it official?" Reiko finally speak up after stay quiet, "We kiss and make out. After all, we're doing seven minutes in heaven right now."

"No, that's not tru…" The blushing rocker hissed, only to be cut off.

"What's make out?" Naruto asked, "And can someone please tell me what Seven Minutes in Heaven is?"

"Seven minutes in heaven is a game where you go in closet with someone else and stay in there for seven minutes." The ghost girl explained quickly before the rocker can get a chance to stop her, "You can just kiss, make out, talk or wait it out for seven minutes. And for make out…Why don't I show you instead?" She suddenly cupped his face then mash their lips together, her tongue shot into his mouth and it snake around. Kyoka look away with red face, due to embarrassment and awkward.

'And to think she was so nervous and timid when she was trying to confessing to him.' Kyoka tapped the tips of her jacks together while the one-side makeout continue. If she wasn't embarrassed, she would laugh at how Naruto look like right now, just stand there with blank face while the ghost girl make out passionately with him. To her relief, the ghost girl finally break apart with a heavy pant.

"That is makeout." Reiko pecked his lip.

"I see." The blonde blinked before his head turn to the rocker, startled her.

"Um, I-I'm not gonna make out with you right now…" The blushing rocker glanced away as he kept staring, "I-I want to take it slow…"

"Take it slow?" Naruto tilted his head.

"I'll explain later." Kyoka replied and there was nothing but silence as she find herself snuggling up in her new boyfriend's arms with Reiko.

"…You should kiss him." The ghost girl said to the rocker out of blue as the earjack user dropped her jaw, "Just a quick peck on lip. So I don't feel bad about making out with him again. If you refuse to, I'll tell him to use up one of your nine surprise kisses and it'll be makeout one."

"...You're not going to…?" She looked at her with widened eyes and the ghost girl just stare back with one visible eye. "…F-Fine…" The rocker muttered under her breath as she tilted her head up to Naruto before she close her eyes with puckered-up lips, slowly rise herself up with nervous tremble and she can feel her lips met his lip for a moment. With a chaste peck, Kyoka quickly pull back with atomic blush, she can feel her lips tingly.

"Ah, is it normal to feel tingly in lips?" Naruto asked them.

"Maybe." Reiko replied, "Now pucker up!" Before she can jump on him again, the door swing open.

"Are you three ok?" Itsuka asked, "Sorry that we don't open this door sooner because Ashido was…" The red-faced rocker power-walked past her to jab one of her jack into Mina's side, causing the acid user to yelp out.

"T-That was for shoving us in the closet!" Kyoka hissed.

"Ooow, that hurts!" Mina held her sore side with a whine, "I think you broke one of my ribs."

"Did you enjoy the seven minutes in heaven?" Setsuna teased with a grin, "Or should I say fifteen minutes in heaven?"

"Yes, I enjoy it very much." Reiko stepped out with Naruto behind her, "In fact, Jiro and I are now in polyamory relationship with Shiretoko."

"H-H-H-Hey!" The rocker's face turn red again as almost everyone nearly drop their jaws with rapid blinks at the news. Some looked shocked, torn or have different reactions.

"Yes, we're in a polyamory relationship." Naruto confirmed.

"Jiro…?" Momo looked at her best friend in amazement and the rocker clamped her mouth together with heavy blush.

"…Daaaamn." The reptile-loving girl whistled, "Just like that, huh? Maybe I should get into that." She laughed teasingly.

"If that's what you want then okay, I'll accept you." The Noumu replied, the greenette's laughter cease with few blinks.

"Um…I-I was just k-kidding…" Setsuna muttered, wondering if he was joking or taking it seriously.

"…Can I join?" Toru slowly raise her hand up with a timid tone, "I-If that's okay with you?"

"Yes." Naruto nodded.

"Really?" She gasped happily, "Awesome!"

"H-H-Hagakure?" Mina widened her eyes at her close friend along with few other girls.

"I-I kinda have a crush on him for a while…" The invisible girl looked down at her feet with heavy blush, "A-And he's the only one who can see me…As in see-see me." Several girls become understanding right away because Toru's quirk can't be turn off, therefore robbed her of some certain things and always get overlooked by almost everyone, even if they don't mean to.

"Mm, Shiretoko, make me your girlfriend." Yui hummed.

"Ok." Naruto nodded again.

"Ooh, can I be one too?" Nejire waved hand above her head with a megawatt grin and a little bounce of her heels.

"Ok." He nodded again for who know how many times.

"Hold on, hold on!" Kyoka stepped in, "Shiretoko, you can't just accept everyone in a heartbeat without any reasons!" She sharply turned to both Yui and Nejire, "And you two…What the hell? Why do you want to join us?!"

"Two reasons…" The stone-faced girl held two fingers up, "Good father material…And a damn good cuddler. I'd fuc…"

"Don't you finish this sentence." Itsuka stopped her friend as she rubbed her forehead wearily and Yui just hum quietly.

"I'm so curious what's it like to dating someone in polyamory." The wave-flow user tapped her cheek with a wondering expression, "Oh, and Shiretoko's quirk is realllllly interesting. If I stick with him, I gotta see all new different quirks and ask him a bunch of questions. And…" She turned her head to the tent with a smile, "There's our daughter. She's so precious and I want to be part of her life."

"…Just for these reasons?" The rocker dipped her head down as she rubbed her forehead annoyingly, "…From now on, if anyone here, for some reason, want to be with Shiretoko, ask us instead of him and it better be good one."

"Why do we have to ask…" Mina trailed off when the rocker gestured to Naruto with a deadpan expression, "Never mind." Honestly, it happen so suddenly that she can't even keep up.

"Anyway, if one of you girls want to join, speak up now."Kyoka continued to rubbed her temples and no one say anything until someone approached her side, whispering things into her ear. "…Okay…Really? Oh…Okay…" The rocker listened to her with few nods and couple eye-widening moments before she turn to Naruto with flat look, "Shiozaki's your girlfriend now." Ibara have give her some good explanation why she should join them like protecting Naruto's 'pure', prevent the other girls from teaching him certain things and attempt to rush their relationship to next levels and to make sure that Eri don't pick things up from them, considering how impressionable she can be. Yup, Kyoka will take any helps and she trust Ibara enough not to go any farther than kiss and hand-holdings.

"Ok." Naruto replied and Kyoka look around to see if anyone else is stepping up but nothing happen much to her relief. How did she go from single to seven-some polyamory relationship in a single night?!

"…Anyone want to go back playing Truth or Dare or…?" Ochaco asked dumbly.

"Or we can watch bunch of bad movies to turn our brains off for a while?" The rocker sighed, "I feel like we need it right now."

"Good idea."

"I'm down for movies."

"Yes." Most girls agreed before they pick some movies out online to watch, munching on their snacks. Some were still in daze or baffled by the whole thing.

It's morning when Eri wake up on her own as she rubbed her eyes sleepily and she crawl out of her tent, glancing around to see her mamas sitting in their sleeping bags both on floor and couches. "Oh, morning, sleepyhead." Tsuyu was first to notice her as everyone turned to the little girl.

"Morning, Tsu-mama." Eri let out an tiny yawn, "Where's papa?"

"Feeding the animals, he'll be back." The frog girl answered right before Naruto walk in.

"Papa…" The little girl approached him with a sleepy smile as she stretched her arms up, "Morning."

"Morning, Eri." Naruto picked her up as she wrapped her arms around his neck and she kissed his cheek. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Um, apples, pancake, eggs…" Eri hummed sleepily, "Everything."

"Ooh, a breakfast feast?" Nejire wrapped her arms around them in a hug as she pecked the little girl's cheek then Naruto's, "It sound really good to me right now. I'll prepare the pancake!"

"If we're going to have a feast, is there enough ingredients in your kitchen?" Kinoko asked worriedly as everyone start to get up.

"Should be."Tsuyu replied, "I was told that our dorm have five times the amount of foods, considering Yaomomo's quirk."

"I need a lot of lipids to prepare myself for a day." Momo said somewhat a little embarrassed and Eri notice that some of her mamas hug her papa with a kiss in few but she don't question it for now as she rest her head on Naruto's shoulder to close her eyes for few minutes.

---

"Hey, good morning!" Eijiro greeted the girls and Naruto once they reach the common room, the boys were up.

"…Papa, why is Creepy Mineta taped to wall?" Eri asked curiously as soon as she wake up again by the harden user's loud greeting. It turn out that the pervert have been stuck to the wall the whole night and morning.

"It's to stop him from doing bad things." Kyoka grunted instead of the Noumu.

"Oh, like when papa beat him up?" The little girl asked innocently as the rocker nodded, "Okay then."

"Hey, have you boys eaten already?" Momo asked them politely, "We're going to have a breakfast feast and we wonder if you guys want to join us?" The boys agreed right away since they were hungry and they start to make breakfasts for everyone as Naruto place Eri in her chair, pouring her apple juice in a glass.

"Mm…" Eri lift it up with her hands to take a sip before she look up to the Noumu as he help making breakfast, "…Papa, why did mamas hug and kiss you?" There was some loud chattering noise when couple boys drop forks and knives on floor from shock.

"…W-Who did?" Hanta choked on his spits with few stutter.

"Mm, Kyo-mama, Ne-mama, Yui-mama, Toru-mama, Rei-mama and Ibara-mama." The little girl answered while taking another sip of her juice innocently, "Rei-mama, Yui-mama and Ne-mama kissed papa and Kyo-mama and Ibara-mama hugged him."

"Ah, they're my girlfriends now." Naruto said to his daughter, "We're in polyamory relationship as of last night." Most boys dropped their jaws at him before all boys whipped their heads to the said girls with widened eyes.

"Poly…?" Eri tilted her head in pure confusion at a new and hard word.

"H-Here's your apple slices!" Kyoka quickly place a plate of apple slices in front of Eri and thank kami, the little girl drop everything in favor of eating her favorite food.

"D-D-D-Did they say…?" Rikido stuttered in shock, can't believe what he's hearing right now.

"Oh, it's true." Reiko wrapped her arms around Naruto's left arm with her head on his shoulder happily, "We got together last night."

"Y-Y-Yes, it just h-happened…" Ibara blushed in embarrassment and both Toru and Kyoka refused to meet their male classmates' eyes.

"Believe us, we were shocked when it spring up out of nowhere." Itsuka admitted to the shocked boys.

"SEE?!" Mineta screeched with bloody tears, "I TOLD YOU! HE HAVE A HAREM! AND ONE OF THEM IS THE SEXY SENPAI! I BET YOU THE NEXT THING IS HE"LL GET YAO-TID…"

"Shiretoko, sock him in mouth." Kyoka said irritatingly as she covered the little girl's ears and the said boy punched the screaming pervert in mouth, knocking him out in process.

"…Feast's ready." Momo held a tray of stacking pancakes up awkwardly as couple other girls place some breakfast foods on table and almost everyone start eating, some bewildered and stunned.

---

Fumikage suddenly squeezed in the common room a couple days later before Ochaco look to him with concern, "Catch a cold? Everything alright?"

"No." Fumikage sniffled, "I'm healthy. Mucus was just acting up."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Mina asked.

"Maybe someone's talking about you." Hanta teased, "Like Yaomomo."

"What?" Momo raised her eyebrow at him puzzlingly.

"Oh, Tokoyami have a lot of fans, wouldn't he?" The gravity girl said out of blue, "After all, he interned at Hawks' place."

"No, I doubt I have any." The bird-headed boy shook his head, "It's a bit too early for that."

"They're here, everyone!" Tenya suddenly catch their attentions to the front door before a certain team come inside, "A reception!"

"Locking on with sparkling eyes!" Shino grinned.

"Here to lend a helping paw!" Tomoko hopped.

"Coming out of nowhere!" Yawara growled with a box in his hands.

"Stingingly cute and catty!" Ryuko grinned widely before they take a pose together, "We're the Wild Wild Pussycats!"

"Pussycats!" Toru ran over with everyone, "It's been a while!"

"You all look well, my little kittens!" The blonde woman grinned with hands on her hip.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't able to protect you back then." Yawara said, referred to the training camp incident.

"We're all doing well." Kyoka smiled.

"They brought cat paw buns!" Mina held the box up over her head.

"They bought cat paw buns!" Ochaco cheered with Toru.

"Kota-kun!" Izuku noticed the little boy behind the team, "Long time no see!" He shook his hands, "Thank for the letter! I've been treasuring it!"

"It's…" Kota huffed, "Whatever."

"Midoriya-kun, look." The Teleph woman pointed to the shoes in foyer.

"Hey, stop it!" The little boy gasped.

"He picked it himself." Shino giggled, "It gotta be red, he said."

"H-Hey!" Kota waved his arms, "That's not true!"

"Look like we match now." Izuku smiled and the little boy looked bashful.

"But why have you guys come to Yuuei?" Rikido asked with tray of cups, "Visiting Shiretoko?"

"We came to celebrate her reinstatement." Ryuko said as some teenagers cleaned up the common room for the team to sit.

"Reinstatement?!" Someone gasped, "Congratulations!"

"Ragdoll, you've returned!?" The greenette looked to the said woman, "Weren't you on a break from active duty after Kamino incident?"

"Yup!" Tomoko grinned.

"Also, it'll be broadcasted soon, but this time, in the second half o the year, we were four hundred and eleventh on the JP Hero billboard chart." Shino said.

"You guys were ranked thirty-two last time!" Izuku said.

"So that's why you're back at it!" Eijiro clenched his fists, "Because you all dropped down so suddenly! It's a fight!"

"Wrong, meow!" Tomoko said, "We were shocked that, despite being completely inactive, we're still in the triple digits!"

"In terms of approval rating, we've always stand out." Yawara said.

"It means there are fans who are waiting for us." Ryuko smiled.

"We can't be complacent with where we are now!" The search user bend her torso sideway.

"Is that so?" The redhead cried, "You guys are so manly, Wild Wild Pussycats!"

"Billboard?" Pony hummed.

"Oh, that's right, the second semester ranking haven't been presented yet." The acid user said.

"Probably because so much has happened." The sugar-power user commented, "A billboard chart without All Might, huh?"

"Wonder how it'll turn out." The invisible girl waved her arms, "It's exciting!"

"Oh, where are my little kittens?" The search user asked and as soon as she finished her question, the elevator opened with a ding before Naruto step out, carrying Eri with one arm.

"...And I want to learn how to paint." Eri babbled to him, holding onto his shoulders while looking into her father's eyes. "All of these. Can we?"

"Yes, we can do them all as much as you want." Naruto nodded to her, "What kind of painting do you want to try first?"

"There's different kind of paints?" The little girl perked up with a joyful gasp, "Like what?"

"Kittens!" Tomoko zoomed to them with a megawatt grin.

"Grandmama!" Eri perked up again as the blonde handed her over to the search user for a hug, "Are we going out today?"

"Not today, little kitten." The search user kissed her silly, making the little girl giggling before she put her down so she can hug her son. "How are you today, my kitten?"

"I'm doing fine, mother." The blonde replied.

"…W-What did you call me?!" Tomoko jerked her head back with widened eyes as she held him at arm lengths. Did she imagine it or did he just…

"I call you mother." Naruto answered and the search user give out an gasp with tears welling up in the corner of her eyes.

"C-Can you c-call me mommy or kaa-san?" The search user asked tearfully.

"Ok, I shall call you mommy from now on." He said, "How are you, mommy?"

"O-Oh, I'm so happy!" Tomoko pulled her son back in a tight hug as she cried out in joy, "My baby boy finally calls me mommy!" Her son hugged back in puzzlement, wondering why his mother react like that and several people that watch them just smile. A few minutes later, the search user make sure to introduce her son to her team and little boy, demanding him to call them aunts, uncle and cousin since they are considered as her family. "So tell me what's news with you two?" She asked Naruto and Eri with a beaming smile as most gather near the television, waiting for the ranking billboard show to start.

"Oh, oh, I learned how to swim in pool and it was really fun." Eri chirped to her grandmother as they sit together on a sofa, "Then I had sleepover with papa and all mamas!"

"Oh, sound like you has a blast." The search user laughed.

"Yup!" The little girl smiled brightly, "And papa said he have six girlfriends now." Some swear they hear a record scratching and everyone turned to stare at the mother.

"…My son have what?" Tomoko gained a thousand-yard stare, praying it's a prank.

"I have six girlfriends." Naruto replied, "It's polyamory."

"…I want the names." The search user uttered, "And then I'm going to kill your dad for not telling me that!"

"Um, Present Mic doesn't know about it." Rikido spoke up awkwardly, "It's pretty recent."

"My girlfriends are Jiro, Hagakure, Reiko, Hado, Shiozaki and Kodai." The Noumu answered and his mother sharply turns her head to two said girls as they jumped lightly.

"Um, surprise?" Toru smiled nervously, despite the fact that only one person can see her nervous expression, and the rocker glance away from the mother of her boyfriend bashfully as she fidgeted with her jacks.

"…If it's open, then maybe I'll…" Ryuko smirked before Yawara slap a hand over her mouth.

"...Tell me how far have you get with my little kitten." Tomoko hissed lowly as her protective nature kick in.

"W-We just hugged and hold hands, that's it!' Kyoka lied with waving hand.

"What she said." Toru nodded rapidly.

"We…" Naruto was about to add something but Tsuyu silently cover his mouth behind his mother's back while whispering something in his ear before she release him as he give her a understanding nod. He don't know that there are some secrets that he can't tell his parents and kisses is one of them.

"Really?" Tomoko stared at the girls with hard gaze.

"Really, really!" Both Kyoka and Toru said together.

"…After this show, we're going to have a long talk." The search user muttered, she will get everything on her son's girlfriends and see if they have some dirty ulterior motive toward her sweet little kitten. That and she want her son to stay naive and innocent for few years.

"G-G-Gotcha." The blushing rocker nodded together with the invisible girl.

"Oh, it's starting!" Izuku called out as the billboard show come on and everyone watch the interviews while both Kyoka and Toru tried their best to ignoring Tomoko's burning stare on their backs.

After the show, Naruto's girlfriends end up have a very, very long conversation with Tomoko and couple hours later, the poor Present Mic were twitching on ground with frothing mouth, had been hit by his girlfriend's bugs prank as he wonder what he did to deserve that.

It barely have been couple days as the teenagers do their homework or loitering around with the television on until the breaking news suddenly take over the channel on television and it show Endeavor fighting a unique Noumu in a bloody match as the screaming people run everywhere. "Naruto, take Eri back to your room!" Kyoka quickly blocked the television so the little girl won't see anything gore.

"Let's go." Naruto picked Eri up then carry her to the elevator to go to their room.

"What's going on?" Eri asked with a paper in her hands.

"We don't want you to see something scary on television." He replied.

"Oh, ok." The little girl uttered before they get inside the elevator and once the teenagers make sure they have left, Eijiro turn the volumes up. The battle has become intense as it look like the unique Noumu get a upper hand and Aizawa quickly enter the dorm to see that they were watching the news.

"DAD!" Shoto shouted as Endeavor unleash his special move on monitor, "I AM WATCHING!" The battle come to end as the burning creature crash down onto the ground and the flame hero slowly stand up in a victory pose. The dual-haired teenager squat down in relief as his friends gather around in sign of support…Until…

"H-H-HEY, IT'S UP AGAIN!" Mineta screamed and everyone turn to the television again in alarm as the burning creature slowly gets up.

---

'Dammit!' Enji cussed on Hawk's shoulder as the high-end Noumu weakly lift its body up, 'I used everything I have and it's up again…'

"…Signal Connection…" The High-end Noumu spoke with echoing tone and the flame hero immediately notice that the monitors were ringing with its voice, also notice that the villain was speaking without its stutter. "What you have witness here today is a little taste of what will come." The creature craned its long neck down to stare at the heroes with its empty eyes, "The old era will fall and the new era will come."

"The new era?" Hawk muttered under his breath with furrowed brows and it seems that the creature have hear him.

"That's right, the era of evolution." The creature laughed coldly, "Our era, the perfect beings! I heed you to count your days while they last, for we have arrived and we will cleanse the world anew in the name of our savior. Everything will return to the one as it should be! The Legion will see to it!"

"Everything…Return?" Enji uttered in confusion, "What are you talking about? What's everything? The one?"

"My savior, I return to you…" The High-end noumu raise its head up to the sky as it crumble into ashes, "I thank you…for the gifts." The creature's body breaks down completely and the heroes stare on in confusion and suspicion.

---

Everyone stare at the television in silence, "…What the fuck?" Mineta broke it with shaking legs.

"I dunno…" Fumikage frowned, "A fanatic?"

"Must be…" Tsuyu said with finger on her chin, "It's not odd for a sentient Noumu to have their own personality and we know two personally." Several teenagers agreed with her, Salad is a eccentric merry-going Noumu who love to sing at random and Naruto is Naruto. Everyone decide to drop it for now in prefer to support Shoto.

---

Mei tighten a nut in her latest baby, a drone with freeze ray, and she sneak a glance at the blast-shield door once in a while. She feel confusing lately after the sleepover, it's really strange. Why do she want Naruto to visit her? Is it because she want to know if he get any new quirks that must inspire her to make more babies and test them out with him? What if he get too busy because he now have girlfriends? She have seen some of her classmates' friends come by for visitation then when these friends get in relationship, it become less and less until she don't remember seeing them around? Will it happen with her? Only see him once in a while? There's another strange feeling inside her. What would she do? What can she do…Oh, idea! Solution! "I'll be right back!" Mei suddenly ran out.

"OI!" Power Loader screamed, "TURN THE WIELDER OFF FIRST BEFORE…" There was a explosive, "FUUUUUUUUUUCK, NOT AGAIN!"

---

"The tense is in present because it…" Hizashi wrote on the blackboard as the 1-A class copy it down in their notebooks while Eri work on her own English lesson and it was quiet…

"HEY, NARUTO!" Until Mei shatter it by opened the sliding door with a slam, causing the startled voice hero to yelp out as most students jumped up in their seats. "I'm your girlfriend now, okay?" Her solution to her issue is do what Naruto did, get in a relationship and figure it out herself.

"Okay." Naruto replied.

"Great!" Mei grinned, "See you later! Bye, Eri-chan!" The pinkette ran away through the hallway back to her department.

"Bye, Mei-momma." Eri waved bewilderingly.

"H-HOLD ON!" Kyoka shouted out with hands on desk before she suddenly plop back in her seat with a facepalm, "Shiretoko, what did I just said?"

"Ah, I forget." The Noumu looked back to her, "Sorry."

"Ugh, whatever…" The rocker huffed, mentally remind herself to find Mei during the lunch break and talk about it.

"…Um, I think Present Mic-sensei just fainted." Mezo informed and most students look ahead to see that the said hero was frozen still with slacked jaw and dangling arms.

'She's going to kill me for letting our boy get another girlfriend…' Hizashi sobbed mentally.

"FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" Mineta bit his lip hard enough to draw blood as bloody tears ran down his face, does this scary guy get a harem quirk or what?! It's not fair! NOT FAIR!

---

Few days later, the Class 1-A were walking together in their winter hero outfit…Mostly. "I'm so excited!" Toru skipped.

"Hagakure, aren't you cold?" Kyoka asked with hands in her pockets.

"I'm freezing, even if I'm wearing my invisible costume!" The invisible girl shivered.

"That's some willpower." The rocker muttered.

"These are my winter specs!" Mina posed, "Aren't they cool?!"

"Everyone's costumes have changed a lot since when we started school." Tenya said.

"Iida, you managed to endure that costume all summer." Rikido said, "Impressive."

"Midoriya, your suit's had the most dramatic change." Fumikage said.

"Yep, it's really been able to increase what I'm able to do." Izuku nodded, "This glove is amazing! It's actually already the second version. Hatsume even went so far as to match it to my strength level."

"Oy, oy…" The Class 1-A turned to see Neito strolled up to them with his class, "Quite the relaxed vibe coming form you guys. You wouldn't be underestimating us, now would you?"

"Oh, they made it!" Eijiro said, "We ain't underestimating you! We're looking forward to it!"

"Is that right?" Neito laughed, "The wave of momentum is definitely moving to our side now. Now, class A! Today…Is the day we settle things between us, don't you think?!" He pulled a paper out of nowhere, "Take a look at this questionnaire! It's from right after the culture festival! Which did you think was better, Class A's concert and Class B's extremely high-quality play? Can you see it?! We won by two votes! You all have bene getting all the attention since we started at Yuuei, but that's all starting to change!" Itsuka slowly approached him, "And today! A bs. B! Our first ever joint training battle! We're go…" A scarf wrapped around his neck, "GEHHH!"

"Shut up." Aizawa drawled.

"We're going to have a special guest this time." Vlad King said, "Please don't do anything to embarrass yourselves."

"A guest?" Momo tilted her head.

"Is it a girl?" Mineta drooled.

"Let's do our best together!" Tetsutetsu pumped his fist.

"He's trying to transfer into the hero department." Aizawa stepped aside to reveal Hitoshi to some students' surprise, "It's Shinso Hitoshi from the general department's class C."

"So that's what he meant when he said 'well, yeah'!" Izuku said.

"Wait, is that Aizawa's binding cloth?" Someone pointed out, "I guess the mask is an original, huh?"

"It's good to have you with us, dude!' The steel user said and few were talking about the brainwash quirk.

"Go ahead and greet everyone." Aizawa said to the purple-haired boy.

"I know I've already encountered many of you at the sports festival, but you won't catch me thinking that we're all buddies now that we've exchanged blows." Hitoshi said, "I'm not some good-natured person trying to tout a superficial sense of sportsmanship. The fact of the matter is, I've gotten a late start and I've already been left in the dust by hundred of steps by you all. I'm sorry, but I'm desperate. I will become a great hero, so that I can use my quirk to help others. All of you here today are obstacles that I must overcome. I have no intention of making friends."

"That's quite the glare." Ochaco clapped with everyone else.

"Things are getting tense." Fumikage said.

"It's like I'm looking at earlyroki." Hanta said.

"You think?" Shoto asked.

"Yep."

"I like this one." Neito rubbed his chin.

"Alright, let's get right down to it then." The scruffy teacher said.

"Combat exercises!" Vlad King announced, "This time around it's a battle between Class A vs. Class B! And the stage will be this section of training field Y! Each side will split up into group of four, and one team from each will battle it out at a time!"

"Four to a team, eh?" Setsuna said, "Sounds fun!"

"Fun." Kinoko repeated.

"Including Shinso, how're they gonna cover with that odd number?"

"Today, Shinso will be participating in two battles." Aizawa explained, "One on Class A's side and one with class B. IN other words out of five matches, two of them will be five vs. four. Trying to integrate Shinso, who has next to no experience, into your team of four will likely be an even bigger disadvantage. It's true that the team of five has the numerical advantage, but they'll still have a handicap."

"The setting for this battle is 'the heroes move to surround the villain group and capture them'!" The blood hero said, "Each team shall perceive the other as the villains! Once either team captures four members of the other, it's their victory!"

"They have been saying that the villains are becoming organized after all." Kinoko said.

"Nice and simple." Tetsutetsu said, "I like it!"

"We're supposed to be heroes, and yet to our opponents, we're villains?!" Tenya had a crisis, "So which is it? What are we?"

"I think it's fine to consider yourself a hero." Momo said.

"In each team's camp, we've installed a wicked cute irredeemable prison." Aizawa looked like he want to die after saying that, "The moment you imprison your opponent in there, they'll be considered captured. Not only do you have to team up with an inexperienced member, but also, even if you're a team of five, you'll still lose if four of you are captured." He pick a white lottery box as Vlad have black lottery box, "Alright then…"

"Time to draw lots." Vlad said as the students draw their balls, "Alright, Shinso, go ahead and draw yours. You'll join a 1-B teams of a number you pull and join any 1-A team that have a less member." Hitoshi drew a ball, black five.

In the end, teams and match-up were formed. The first match will have Tsuyu, Hitoshi, Eijiro and Koji up against Ibara, Jurota, Hiryu and Kosei. The second match will have Momo, Yuga, Toru and Fumikage facing Itsuka, Manga, Shihai and Kinoko. The third match will have Tenya, Shoto, Mezo and Pony fight Tetsutetsu, Juzo, Sen and Togaru. The fourth match has Naruto, Kyoka, Hanta and Rikido face Setsuna, Kojiro, Yosetsu and Katsuki. The fifth and last match will have Izuku, Ochaco, Mineta and Mina up against Neito, Hitoshi, Reiko, Yui and Nirengeki.

"I know one of ours said some nasty stuff!" Eijiro said, "But let's trying and get along all the same! It's a pleasure workin' with ya!"

"Thank for having me." Hitoshi said flatly.

"You're good!" Neito laughed madly, "Yes, veeerry good! Let us join forces and give that deplorable Class A a nice thrashing!"

"Thank for having me" The purple-haired boy repeated flatly.

"It'll be a rematch for you, huh, Deku?" Ochaco turned to the said teenager.

"Yeah." Izuku took his notebook out of nowhere, "Have you gotten stronger Shinso? I'm excited to see how you'll come after us!"

"You'll start in your own areas." Aizawa spoke up, "The time limit is twenty minutes. If you're unable to finish the match in that amount of time, the team with more members remaining wins."

"All Might and Midnight are here!" Mina spotted the said teachers as they walk up the stairs to join them.

"Without further ado, let the first match start!" Vlad said very eagerly as the teenagers break into their groups, silently discussing their plans and watch the monitors while the first teams prepare for the match.

"Bakubro!" Eijiro moved closer to greet Katsuki on his way to the location, "I haven't seen yo…"

"GET THE FUCK AWAY, YOU FUCKING EXTRA!" Katsuki shoved him away angrily, "I'M GONNA…"

"Bakugo!" The scowling blood hero barked at the said teenager with a glare, "Come here! Or I'll remove you from this training!"

"TSK!" The explosive user stomped over.

"Wha…?" The redhead was so confused and hurt by that before he have no choice but to join his team.

"Jiro, what's the strategy?" Hanta asked the said girl after a while.

"…Wait, why are you asking me?" Kyoka asked bewilderedly.

"Honestly, I'm not one for planning ahead." The tape-elbowed teenager scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm more a follower than a leader."

"And you know how I become the more I use my quirk." Rikido added, "Also, I don't think Shiretoko is suited to leading us as he is."

"Yes, what's your order?" Naruto asked before he suddenly burst into sand, startle nearly everyone around him then he reform. "Ah, I obtained a new quirk."

"G-G-Goddammit, just fucking warn us next time…" Yosetsu panted heavily with hand on his chest, he just nearly get a heart attack.

"Whoa, cool, this quirk of yours is much like this pro hero Snatch's." Manga pointed out to Naruto, "Maybe you should look up some videos on him to get ideas for moves."

"Who's Snatch?" Mineta asked after hearing a unfamiliar name from a near distance, "Underground?"

"He was a pro hero who have Sandstorm quirk." Izuku answered.

"Was?" The pervert blinked, "Did he retired or something?"

"No, he died in line of duty last month." The greenette replied, "It was all over the news, don't you see it?"

"D-D-D-Died in line…?" Mineta paled with trembling body.

"Pay attention!" Vlad barked to the teenagers, "The first match is starting now!" Everyone start to repay attention to the monitors.

---

'So it's still tied.' Kyoka thought to herself as the third match end in draw, making it still one to one between two classes. That mean, her match is next and she feel a little nervous but determine to give it all she get like her teammates. What make her concern and nervous is how this bastard Bakugo look at them with fury in his eyes and she can see some hatred, mostly toward her and Naruto.

"Bakugo, you may use grenadier bracer once in a nonlethal method only and nothing more." Vlad King glared down at the explosive user, "If you go any farther than that, there will be dire consequences."

"Whatever, fucker!" Katsuki stomped away ahead of his team and the blood hero rubbed his forehead annoyingly and tiredness.

"He gives you any problems?" Aizawa whispered to his fellow teacher, it wasn't an question.

"More than I like." The blood hero growled, "He still refuse to work with anyone and he even attacked Monoma last month, all just for copying his quirk. I'm this close to my limit."

"So that mean…?" The underground hero narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, if he keep it up, I'll ask Nezu to transfer him out to general department next month." Vlad King scowled and the scruffy man gave him an understanding nod.

The Jirou Team's, a name that the boys came up with together much to the rocker's chagrin, plan was simple. Kyoka will listen for any sounds with Naruto as her partner, getting themselves into an ambush position while Hanta and Rikido, accompanied by the blonde's kage bunshin, split up to set tape barriers not far away from them in case if each other need a backup. It barely have been a minute after the starting bell when Kyoka hear series of pops, growing loud as it get close at high speed. "Incoming!" Kyoka warned the Noumu, "We gotta hide!" It's too fast than she expected! That only mean one thing…

"FOUND YOU, FUCKERS!" Before they know it, Katsuki was right above them with a bloodthirsty grin. "DIE!" He was about to blast them with his right hand out but Kyoka act faster by unleashing Heartbeat Surround move with her wrist amplifier, stunning him for few moments.

"Shiretoko!" Kyoka hollered, "Get us out of here!" Naruto quickly scoop her up then leap across the pipes and buildings as she pressed her ear comm, "Sugarman, Cellophane! We need backup now! It's Bakugo!"

"We're on our wa…" Hanta replied before there was some noises on other side, "SHIT! Backup'll be little delay!"

"Fuck!" She swore as the comm went dark.

"Now what?" Naruto asked her as they get some good distance from the explosive user, putting her down.

"First, I need you to send five clones to find Sugarman and Cellophane and help them out. One more clone to scout out for Tokage." Kyoka said quickly, she don't know what's their situation right now but it won't hurt to have some more helps on their side since she don't know the full power of Kojiro's and Yosetsu's quirks. For Setsuna, who know where she is and that's a dangerous thing in this situation because she can get a drop on them anytime. "For us two, we have no choice but to take Bakugo on. Knowing him, he won't hold back on us so we better take him down fast and hard."

"Get it." He nodded and the rocker's hearing pick up another series of explosives but it was right above them.

'How…When was he this fast?!' Kyoka's eyes widened in alarm as her head snapped up to the sky to see Katsuki charging downward to them with propelling blasts.

"STOP RUNNING, YOU FUCKING WASTE OF SPACES!" Katsuki bellowed, "AND LET ME MURDER YOU!" He fired dozen of explosives at them, forcing them to split up to avoid the blast radius. The rocker swiftly launch two powerful soundwaves from her speaker boots toward the explosive user. Katsuki quickly pull a barrel roll by propelling himself to right and he was about to follow it up with a overhead swing but…

"Rasengan!" Naruto leaped upward with baseball-sized rasengan, ramming it into the explosive user's side and it send Katsuki crashing through couple pipes.

"Bind him with mokuton!" Kyoka barked hurriedly.

"Hai!" The Noumu slammed his hands on ground as soon as he land and several woods burst up through the pavements, coiling and twisting to capture the explosive user.

---

"My word, when did Naruto-kun have a wood quirk?" Ibara asked wonderfully as they watch twisting woods growing from the ground.

"He got it about couple months ago." Ochaco tapped her chin in deep thought, "Was it three months ago?"

"It was a quite chaotic when it first appear." Fumikage sweatdropped at the memory, "But is it good idea to use woods on him?"

"What do you mean?" Mina asked the bird-headed teenager.

"Bakugo's quirk, remember?" The Dark Shadow user replied and the acid user blinked few times until she finally get it as her eyes widened with a gasp.

---

Kyoka press her ear comm with a small exhale, "Report!"

"We caught two." Rikido spoke, "Thank for the backup. I was this close to out. But we're bit hold up because Tokage is giving us troubles."

"Alright, we're on our way." She replied, "Bakugo's do…" The woods behind her suddenly explode in fiery fashion and the rocker recognize it was Bakugo's AP shots move, had seen it in action before. She spin around to see Katsuki standing with pure rage as he lift his grenadier bracer up at her and the distance was awfully close between them.

"YOU USELESS FUCKING BITCH!" Katsuki roared as he pulled the pin, "GO DIE!"

'THIS PSYCHO!' Kyoka's eyes widened in horror.

---

Setsuna is very furious and annoyed because of this bastard Bakugo and she know that everything was going to be screwed from the first moment the team was announced, which turn out to be correct, much to her dismay. Instead of listening to the plan, Bakugo told them to 'fucking shove it up their soggy asses' then took off as soon as the match start and they have no choice to go after him to back him up until they run into their opponents. Acting fast, she order Kojiro and Yosetsu to attack them while she stay out of sight to provide them support. At first, her team have a upper hand on Rikido and Hanta after taking Naruto's clone out…Until several Naruto clones appear as their opponent's backup and 'arrest' both Kojiro and Yosetsu and before she know it, a clone spot her, starting a cat and mouse chasing game as she divided herself up in pieces, using hit-and-run strategy to wear her opponents down. It work for a while until Rikido and Hanta use the tapes to catch more of her body parts in a flytrap-like moves. 'Fuck!' Setsuna cussed inside her head as her enemies caught all of her parts and she have no choice but to reform, due to exhaustion. Before she know it, there was a loud rumbling explosive far away and she see some black smokes raising miles away.

"Shit!" Hanta recognized it with a frown, "Don't tell me Bakugo use this move?"

"I guess he did." Rikido replied worriedly, "I hope no one got caught up in this."

---

It happen so fast that Kyoka never get a chance to react but someone else did. She remember seeing Naruto suddenly teleported to her side, swiftly removed his orange jacket to swaddled her and she felt him hugging her as her shield while the thundering sound blast through, following by heat then it all went away in a flash. She quickly shed the jacket to see massive black smokescreen and she look up to Naruto before her eyes widen with hitched breath. Naruto's left arm was gone…So was half of his head. "N-N-NARU…"

"Are you okay, Jiro?" Naruto asked her, his head restore to normal in a gory fashion and his left arm was slowly regenerating.

"A-Am I okay?" Kyoka stuttered, "Y-Y-You just got blew up! And you're asking me if I'm okay?! Are you okay?!"

"Yes, I'm fine." He replied calmly and the shaken rocker don't know however to feel relieved or worried. These injuries he have…Had, he should be dead if it wasn't for his healing quirks.

"F-Fine?" She stuttered, "Are you sure?! Do you feel any pains?!" Naruto was about to give her a response until they both hear a shouting near them.

"DON'T FUCKING TELL ME TO STAND DOWN, SHITTY BLOOD!" Katsuki shouted, "I'M DOING YOU A FUCKING FAVOR!" There was a crunching noise before the explosive user step through the smokescreen, waving some smokes clear and he sneered ugly when he see them. "Fuck, you're still alive, useless bitch?!" He growled.

'Wait, he…' Kyoka froze, did he just imply that…"…You did it on purpose?!"

"Damn straight I did!" The explosive user barked, "Because of you bitch and this fucking villain, you two ruined everything! You ran to this fucking bum crying and bitching about useless waste of space your old man is and now I have to change fucking class then they keep giving me fucking detentions and suspensions each time I fucking 'act out'! And this fucking villain over there!" He shot a deadly glare at Naruto, who appear to be unmoving. "FUCKING VILLAIN TRYING TO BE A FUCKING HERO? HA! HE SHOULD STAY ARRESTED, THIS FUCKING MONSTER! HE FUCKING RUIN ME! SCREW ME OUT OF MY FUCKING LICENSE! I SHOULD GET IT A LONG TIME AGO AND BE ON MY WAY TO NUMBER ONE! ALL BECAUSE THIS BASTARD WON'T DIE!"

"No, you bought it upon yourself, you unhinged quirkist!" Kyoka snarled back, "You…" She feel the noumu's arm stiffen up, causing her to halt in her trail as she tilt her head up to him before she see his stiff-than-usual expression. "Naruto?"

"…So that is what it feel like?" Naruto whispered chillingly as he feel something boiling up within his body before his completely-red eyes snap to Katsuki with harden glare.

Anger.

---

Few minutes ago, some students jump up with gasps as Katsuki release one of his powerful blast and the black smokes suddenly cover most of the cameras. "Did he just use that on Jiro?!" Mina cried out as Momo looked very worried about her best friend's safety like almost everyone else, "Isn't that overkill?!"

"Yes, and it was at point-blank." Fumikage grimaced.

"I saw Shiretoko jumped in there before that, they'll be fi…" Izuku said somewhat nervous until they jump when Vlad roar into his mic.

"BAKUGO, STAND DOWN!" Vlad shouted, "I ORDERED YOU NOT TO USE GRENADIER BRACER IN LETHAL METHOD! YOU'RE DISQUALIFIED! GET YOURSELF…HEY, I ORDER YOU TO STAND DOWN! BAKUGO? BAKUGO!" He swiftly turned to Aizawa, "ERASERHEAD, WITH ME!"

"On it!" Aizawa beckoned Midnight to come with them as they make a beeline to the battlefield, "Yagi, stay with the kids!"

"If the senseis are going there, what does that mean?" Mineta asked, "Do we win or lose?"

"Does that matter who win or lose?" The acid user glared at him.

"Yes?" The pervert uttered and several give him a dirty look, even some from 1-B class. Before one of them make a comment, something shot out from the smokes on the monitor and they look back to see the object was Katsuki with a broken nose then Naruto shot out in the sky with his left arm up. Some teenagers widened their eyes at the sight of Naruto's missing left forearm before it regenerate fully.

"He blew his arm off?!" Jurota frowned, "No wonder why Vlad-sensei said Bakugo's disqualified. He should have destroy someone's career like that if it wasn't for Shiretoko's quirk."

"I-I'm sure it was an accident." Eijiro replied and no one give him any response or hear him since they were too focus on the monitors.

---

Katsuki found himself flying backward with pain in his nose and the next thing he see is this fucking villain above him with his left fist up. "You fu…" He tried to blast himself out but the Noumu was already on him, slamming his fist down onto the explosive user's chest and it send Katsuki farther through pipelines. His opponent land on pavement.

"You tried to kill Jiro and that's unforgiving." Naruto growled angrily as the berserker quirk slowly take over him and he fight it back because he don't want to attack his allies under its influence. Suddenly, he feel something else, a familiar feeling of new quirk. Dark red energy spread all over from his chest to whole of his body and a echoing voice rang within his head.

Energy Shroud Plus Kitsune Four-Tail Mode Plus…

Four red tails stretching out from Naruto's tailbone along with two long rabbit-like ears as his hands and feet turn into fox-like claws, two white orbs and pumpkin-like mouth. With a thundering soundwave, Naruto leap toward Katsuki with his claws out in a pounce stance and the explosive user barely get back up on his feet before the Noumu tackle him through several more pipelines.

"FUCK!" Katsuki snarled as he lash out with barrage of explosives from his palms and to his shock, it appear to have no effect on the shroud. "YOU FUCKING VILLAIN, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

"Me, villain?" With a twist of his torso, Naruto threw the explosive user down onto the ground with a hard crash as it knock some winds out of Katsuki. "It's you who is the villain here! Spewing nothing but death threats and use violence up on others!" The Noumu spin downward to his enemy, adding more force behind his dropheel and it was about to make a contact but Katsuki blasts at his side with both hands, allow the explosive user to slide backward across the ground to avoid the attack. A small crater form under Naruto's heel when it crash down.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, FUCKER!" The explosive user push himself up with blasts, quickly aim his unused grenadier bracer at the Noumu with a wicked grin. "LET'S SEE IF YOU TAKE IT AT POINT-BLANK!" He was about to pull the pin but at same time, the Noumu bury his right hand deeply in the ground with a slam and before Katsuki know it, a red claw shot up from the ground beneath him. It grab the bracer upward, forcing Katsuki's arm along up with a crack and a powerful blast shot up to the sky, sending many pieces of pipelines and shrapnel scrambling everywhere. Before he can react, a balled-up of Naruto's tail ram into his stomach and Katsuki tumble backward painfully until he stop with some skids. "U-Ugh!" Katsuki rolled upon his limbs, vomiting some biles out on ground. He never have enough time to recover when Naruto give him a powerful uppercut that send him flying upward, only to get smashing back on ground when one of Naruto's tail coil around his ankle. The Noumu give him few more smashing as if he was playing with a ragdoll before he threw the explosive user across the field into a metal silo. "Y-Y-You fucking monster!" He coughed out angrily.

"You who wield Explosion, you are worthless of it." Naruto spoke as his white eyes turn black, "Flaunting it right and left because you believe it's a powerful thing when in truth, it is useless, nothing but a mere spark."

"WHAT DID YOU FUCKING SAID ABOUT MY QUIRK?!" Katsuki snarled angrily and Naruto's eyes turn back to white as four tails curve inward near Naruto's gaping mouth, many energy orbs appear around his body. The orbs start to gathering into a large ball, compressing to size of marble and he was about to do something but…

"NARUTO!" Kyoka leap down onto the noumu's back with her arms around his neck, "STOP! He's not worth it!" She shouted with heavy pants, due to exhaustion because she have been running across the industrial site from pipes to rooftops.

"But he tried to…" The Noumu growled deadly as the shroud slowly fade.

"I know, I know." She squeezed her arms on him as she glared at the coughing explosive user when he attempt to get up, "But I don't want you to go lower like this bastard…And he's done. Look at him, he's on his last leg."

"I'M NOT FUCKING DONE!" Katsuki snarled before he stumble back on the ground with a thud.

"You fucking are." Kyoka sneered as Naruto's shroud disappear and she slowly release him, taking a step back to allow him standing up. "You good, Shiretoko?" He gave her a nod, "Come on, let's get out of here…"

"I SAID I AM NOT FUCKING DONE WITH YOU TWO!" The explosive user pulled a grenade from his chest belt as he prepare to throw it at them with a evil grin, "GO DIE FOR GOOD!" The rocker tensed while her partner make a move…But all of sudden, the blood appeared from nowhere and it cocooned the grenade as it hardened, a muffled exploding sound can be hear within it. "WHAT THE FU…" Katsuki bellowed before scarves cover his mouth and he tried to resist it with his quirk but it didn't work. 'Fuck erasing!' The angry teenager recognized it right away before purple gas float into his nose and he pass out right away.

"Sensei?" The rocker was surprised by the teachers' appearance.

"Are you two okay?" Midnight asked them.

"Um, yeah, mostly." Kyoka replied dumbfounded, "Um, what's going on?"

"What's going on is that the match is over." Vlad frowned down at Katsuki.

"…Bakugo claim that…" The rocker was about to say something.

"We know, we heard everything." The R-rated heroine cut her off with a firm headpat, "The teachers have complete access to the comms and mic."

"Does that mean everyone else…" Kyoka frowned.

"No, the students don't heard everything, just us the teachers." She said.

"You two, go back with Vlad and Midnight." Aizawa secured the explosive user and he give his students the look.

"Get it." The rocker gave Naruto a little nudge to catch his attention, "You heard him, let's go."

"Ok." Naruto replied.

---

After Vlad announced that the match goes to Class A because the Jiro Team had caught three B members, most teenagers turn to both Kyoka and Naruto to check on them. "You two alright?" Rikido asked them worriedly and guiltily, "Sorry for not show up in time, if we know that was gonna happen like that…" Hanta also look guilty for not able to come to their aids.

"It's cool." Kyoka replied, "It's not your faults, it can't be helped. And we made it out okay…" She make a quick glance at Naruto next to her, trying her best not to shudder at the memory of his injuries and without thinking, she quietly sneak her hand into his right hand. The blonde turn his head to her with a blink.

"Naruto-kun, what about you?" Reiko was at his side with Toru, Yui and Ibara as they looked worried in their own way, despite the fact that Yui have expressionless face.

"I'm fine." Naruto replied.

"You sure?" Ibara asked concerning, "We saw the stage of your left arm before the regeneration kick in."

'Did they saw his head?' The rocker glanced at them, '…No, they didn't.' She noticed that their gazes were on his left arm and never at his head, not even once.

"Yeah." The Noumu stared at them before he hold his free arm out, "Do you want to hug? I was told that hugs ease worries, make everything better and the likes."

"…Yes, I would like one." The vine-haired girl embraced him on one side and Reiko immediately join in along with Toru, following by Yui. Kyoka give out a little surprised squeak when he pull her into the group hug, still holding hand.

"Whoa, whoa, why are you three fraternize with our enemies?!" Neito screeched at the sight as he gave his female classmates a 'disappointed' face.

"Mm, because he's our boyfriend." Yui replied casually, enjoying the hug.

"…Your…Wha…" The copycat uttered dumbly, "…You're joking?"

"We're not joking." The ghost girl stroked her boyfriend's chest, "We're in polyamory relationship." Her male classmates blinked at her few times, not sure whether to believe it or not.

"It's true…" Ibara blushed and the male classmates drop their jaws with widened eyes.

"…Oh right, we didn't told them about that." Itsuka sweatdropped.

"Wait, you know?!" Neito screeched and the orangette never get a chance to say anything when Aizawa come back.

"Alright, let's move on and start the last match." Aizawa clapped his hands and couple certain teenagers want to ask him a question but he give them a 'don't ask' look, shutting them up.

"Wish me good luck." Reiko pecked Naruto's lip.

"Mm, same." The expressionless girl kissed his cheek on her tiptoes.

"Good luck." Naruto replied and several teenager boys just stare on, still in shock or jealous at his luck.

---

"Oh, Midoriya ran into Monoma." Toru pointed out while leaning on her boyfriend's right side, "Think he copied Shinso's quirk beforehand?"

"Who know?" Kyoka replied as they watch the monitors, still holding Naruto's hand. All of sudden, black tendrils shot out from Izuku's arms to almost everyone's shock.

"What the heck?"Hanta gawked, "Is that a new ability?"

"Man, look like you're not the only one that get upgrades." The rocker joked to her boyfriend before she feel his hand stiffened for a moment, "Shire…?" She looked up to him puzzlingly before she froze at Naruto's pitch-black eyes as he stare straight to the monitor.

"So it's where they are now." Naruto said softly with echoing tone before his black eyes snap to make a eye contact with Kyoka, "…Ah, you again."

Shiretoko…?" Kyoka whispered back as he stared before her eyes narrowed, "You…You're not Shiretoko right now?" The Noumu kept stare at her and she can see left corner of his mouth twitching upward a bit for a moment.

"How interesting." The Noumu uttered before his eyes turn back to normal and he blink once.

"Shiretoko?" She repeated worriedly.

"Yes, Jiro?" Naruto tilted his head at her blankly.

"Are you okay?" She asked, "Did you feel anything funny or get new quirks?"

"I don't feel anything odd or have get any new quirks since the last match, why?" He replied.

"…I'm not sure…" Kyoka frowned with concern, "But I think we need to talk to Aizawa-sensei." Maybe it's good idea to let her teacher know what happened with Naruto because it's too strange and she don't want to take any chances. Maybe it's nothing, she hope.

"Whoa, they did it!" The invisible girl bounced and the rocker look back to the monitor to see that the team A have successfully catch the team B.

'Shit, I missed everything.' The rocker groaned mentally before Midnight announced the winner of the joint training exercise and she made sure to inform her homeroom teacher with Naruto about his strange episode.

---

A figure watch the liquids drain from the first row of tanks as the first set of Noumu tumble out on their shaking limbs, "The first wave will be enough to claim this city as our stronghold and first foothold of our era." The figure stretch its hand out to the woken Noumu, "In the name of the one!" The noumus give out different cries and the figure's eyes creaked in twisted smile.

---

And that end the fifth chapter of EN! Like it? Hate it?

So many things happened and I don't know where to start! Really, I don't. We just covered the cultural festival and joint training arc with few extras in between. Plus, Naruto just got in relationship…In a bizarre and rushed way…But hey, that's how teenagers are. At same time, we just saw something different with High-End Noumu and Katsuki went off the rail near the end. Vlad King did said there'll be dire consequence.

FYI, we are now going down the new path. Which mean no canon onward…Maybe a little here and there, maybe.

Will the school life stay same or will it change soon? Will Naruto's new relationship status work? What's the dire consequence for Katsuki? Ok, I'll ask again, who is this villain, really? What's this villain's goal with Noumus?! Will we see more cute moments? What else will be changed? Let's find out in the next issue…Eh, I mean, next chapter!

Anyway, I think that's all I can say for now. Thank you for your time to read it.

Please leave reviews and feedback here. The flames will be sending to Shoto so he can freeze them.
