There was one more week until the sports festival. Although Aizawa hadn't let it show to the students he was worried. Luckily, they couldn't see his facial expressions because he was still covered in bandages.

"Do you think they're prepared mentally for the sports festival?" Aizawa asked All Might and Hound Dog in the faculty lounge.

Hound Dog sighed. "I'm not sure…But it's not like we can reschedule such a big event. And it's a hero's job to appear fine to public perception."

All Might nodded vigorously, smiling. "That's true! A hero must always smile!" He agreed.

"But USJ happened just a week ago. In your professional opinion, Ryo, will the trauma of USJ hold some of them back in the sports festival?" Aizawa asked.

Hound Dog sighed. He didn't want to lie. "Some of them perhaps…." He admitted, "One of them did almost die after all. And a couple of them witnessed their teacher be absolutely brutalized. It's hard to throw those thoughts out of their heads."

All Might looked worried. "…Is there a way to help them? To make them feel strong instead of worrying about their own weakness during the sports festival?"

Hound Dog thought. "Well, I'm still meeting with quite a few of them, but if you want to hurry the process along, it might be risky, but you could try exposure therapy. I'd also be interested in seeing if some of them are as fine as they claim to be." He thought of Todoroki, Midoriya, Bakugo, and Hagakure in particular.

"We aren't going to throw fake villains at them. That would risk re-traumatizing them." Aizawa insisted before All Might could pipe up excitedly with a plan.

Hound Dog glared. "I wasn't suggesting throwing fake villains at them! Who in their right mind would think that was a good idea?"

All Might kept quiet.

"I meant take them back to USJ for an exercise. If none of them have any visible breakdowns they should be fine for the sports festival. After all we don't want any of the students having a break down on live television." Hound Dog pointed out.

That might be a good idea. Aizawa thought. Heroes were usually taught to push things down. They didn't have time to heal from trauma, but he still worried a lot about having the sports festival so soon after USJ. Were the students ready for it? This would be a good test to ensure UA wasn't publicly embarrassed.

"I have an exercise we could run in USJ." All Might suggested. "Thirteen isn't out of the hospital yet so it wouldn't be the classic rescue training, but I've got something that should train their skills for the sports festival."

They had a plan now.


Class 1-A buzzed excitedly as the bus took them to a training location in their hero costumes.

"Finally, some in person training!" Mina cheered excitedly. "We'll finally catch up to those Class B guys!"

The excitement faded as the bus stopped and the class was let out at USJ again.

"Are we doing the training we missed at USJ?" Uraraka wondered as they entered the building.

Some of them visibly sucked in their breath as they walked through the doorway of USJ. Tsuyu, Uraraka, and Mina all looked at Aizawa standing before them still dressed head to toe in bandages. Tsuyu started looking a bit sad as she looked at the injured Aizawa.

Most of the energy of Class 1-A was gone.

"Don't worry! For I am here!" All Might posed next to Aizawa with a big smile on his face.

The moment All Might said those famous words and posed the negative energy was replaced with a more positive vibe.

"Maybe it won't be like last time…" Kirishima mumbled, "After all, All Might is here from the very beginning!"

That seemed to be the general opinion. The faith in All Might's power seemed to shake away everyone's fears and the excitement started rising.

"I am here for hero combat training at USJ!" All Might announced again.

"Are we going to do what was originally planned for USJ?" Midoriya asked excitedly.

"We'd have to have Thirteen for rescue training, I think…." Uraraka pointed out. "And…They're probably still in the hospital…" She got sad after saying that.

All Might shook his head. "No. We're going to do something a little different for our training today. Something that will train your speed and skills a bit more. We're going to play a game of hide and seek!"

The students face lit up. Hide and seek with their quirks in such a large area like USJ sounded fun.

"I'm already at the advantage since none of the villains found me in the attack." Aoyama said doing a hair flip.

"How will this work?" Mina asked. "Are some people on team seeker and team hider?"

All Might laughed at the excitement. "I'm glad you all are so excited, young ones."

"Tell them why hide and seek is an important thing to train." Aizawa pointed out.

"Sometimes stealth is important when it comes to a villain attack. You want to ambush them in surprise. Thus, hiding skills are important. And search and rescue are one of the number one parts of a hero's job. Searching for people crushed by rubble…People who can't move or are in dark places, this is something you will experience numerous times as heroes!" All Might flexed.

Aizawa sighed. "To answer your question, Ashido. I'm going to let Class A decide on who the seeker should be. The seeker should be someone you all think of as incredibly powerful instead of choosing the weakest link. After all the goal isn't for you to fail."

"So, there will only be one seeker?" Iida asked trying to straighten out the facts. "And that one student will have to find the rest of us 19?"

All Might gave a thumbs up. "Don't fret though! Whenever the seeker finds someone that hider will turn into a seeker too and will aid them. This will make the seekers job easier as well as make the hiders job harder as time goes on. And it will give most of you the chance to train both skills."

Midoriya seemed to be taking notes in his notebook, diligently. "So, the only job of a hider will be to find a good hiding spot and stay there until they're found?"

All Might shook his head. "Once the seeker finds the hiders location they can try to run and hide again. They will only become another seeker if the seeker tags them with their hand. This will imitate the search and capture you all will go through when you fight villains."

"You can work in teams to hide if you so wish," Aizawa offered, "to make it cooperate. A good method you could choose is to work in a team to hide and then when the seeker comes, help each other escape. You could use distraction to get the seeker off your teammates back."

There seemed to be excited faces all throughout the crowd. Ideas were forming their way into students' minds.

None of them look particularly traumatized. I suppose nobody died so maybe it just took a little push to ensure the USJ attack wasn't still on their minds. Aizawa was relieved.

"Now who would like to try to get their class to vote them in as the seeker?" All Might asked.

Several hands raised. Just like the class representative almost every student wanted to give being a seeker a shot besides a few of them. Koda, Aoyama, Toru, and Todoroki were the only ones who didn't want to give it a try.

"I'm surprised Todoroki that you didn't want to be a seeker. You are fairly powerful, after all!" Toru piped up.

"…I don't think I could do very good." Todoroki answered slowly.

Aizawa took note of this. "I'm assuming you'll all vote for yourselves again if I give you the chance?"

The class moaned. They realized their problem.

"The four who don't want to be seekers then will vote for who they want." Aizawa decided.

"Vote for me!" Mineta cheered, "I'd love to find people!"

"You HAVE to vote for me, Toru! Being a seeker sounds really fun!" Mina tried to get Toru's attention.

"All I can do is run! Please give me your sympathy!" Iida begged.

"Vote for ME, extras!" Bakugo pointed at himself. "Being the single seeker gives me the chance to crush all of you myself. Nobody can complain that I didn't have a stunning victory if I find you all." He approached Aoyama and Koda. "You two will vote to me, right?" His hand looked like it was about to explode something.

He was clearly threatening the two, but nobody was going to stop them. Both Aoyama and Koda quickly nodded.

Well…Then it's Bakugo. If Todoroki and I vote together we've just got a tie. Toru gave a visible thumbs up with her glove so Bakugo thought his threat worked on her too.

"…I was going to vote for Iida. He is fast. Isn't that what we wanted in a seeker?" Todoroki asked. But it was too late. Bakugo was already in.

"Awww…Well I don't blame you. The teachers did want us to pick someone strong. And Bakugo has the most chance of success….And I don't think we'd ever hear the end of it if he wasn't the seeker." Mina groaned.

"I will find you all! And then it will be clear who's number 1 in this class! I will have an unmistakable victory!" Bakugo loudly declared as All Might shuffled him off.

"Would you close your eyes young Bakugo? They will have ten minutes to hide." All Might told him.

"Sure." Bakugo agreed and turned around.

"Hide and seek with Kacchan was always so hard…." Midoriya groaned. "…This time I'll try my best. Iida and Uraraka. Let's team up." He offered.

"Go." Aizawa declared.

And the class split up and ran.


The teams split up quickly. Uraraka, Midoriya and Iida ran in one direction. Kaminari, Kirishima and Sero ran in another. Yaoyorozu and Jiro seemed to team up and accompany one another.

Shoji, Koda and Sato also seemed to be planning to work together. Ojiro and Aoyama seemed to be going in the same direction but Tokoyami and Todoroki both decided to lone wolf it and go off on their own.

"Come on Toru, Tsuyu! I've got a plan!" Mina offered forming her team quickly. She gestured at the two girls to follow her.

Since it was hide and seek, Toru discarded her gloves and boots at the start.

"Let's hide in the ruined city zone. It's got the most hiding spots since it's a fake city." Mina decided on the run.

Tsuyu nodded. Toru nodded too but they couldn't see her.

"…Mina, Toru, do you feel like we're being followed?" Tsuyu asked glancing behind her shoulder.

"We shouldn't be! It hasn't even been two minutes!" Mina replied. She and Toru glanced over their shoulders too and saw the little gremlin that was following them.

Mineta was there running for some reason with the speed of a demon from hell. "Let's team up girls!" his face looked terrifying. But maybe that was just Mineta's skeezy appearance.

Tsuyu's shoulders tightened very briefly. Toru picked up on it, but didn't say anything. She wasn't supposed to be observant after all. Mina however, instantly noticed the change in her friend.

"I don't really want to hide with Mineta, honestly..." Mina admitted, "I wanted an all girl power combo, and I feel like all of us would get too mad at him to be successfully quiet."

Tsuyu nodded, slowly to herself.

"I like the idea of giving him the slip! Sounds fun!" Toru agreed.

Mina chuckled to herself. "So how are we going to do this? I don't think the teachers would like it if I threw acid at him or something. Nor is it really fair..."

Tsuyu didn't say anything.

"How about we split up?" Toru suggested, "That'll force him to follow one of us and it'll be easier to shake him off!"

"How so, Toru?" Tsuyu finally spoke.

"Well, you two are faster than me. I know you're slowing down so I can keep up. You'll be able to increase your speed if we split up. And he won't follow me, the slowest, because he can't see me." Toru explained.

Mina's eyes dawned with realization of Toru's plan. "I like that plan! I like that plan a lot! It's smart! A little sad that we won't be able to work together but scheming is it's own sort of fun!"

Tsuyu nodded but didn't add anything to Mina's statement.

"Try to get him to follow me." Mina told Tsuyu, sacrificing herself. "His balls can't stick to my acid." She looked behind her as Mineta continued to follow her. "HEY MINETA! I'm right here!" She yelled and threw some acid into the air like fireworks as if to get his attention.

"…Thank you, Mina. You're so brave." Tsuyu said. And with that the three split up, Tsuyu hopping away and Mina spreading a trail to slide away. Mineta took the bait and followed Mina, but she quickly slid into the trees in the more foresty zone and lost him.

"AWW MAN!" Mineta yelled.


Now that they were on their own instead of working as a team, Tsuyu headed to the zone that Bakugo would do worst in, and she would do best in; the flood zone. She stopped in front of the waters.

Just dive down there. You'll have an instant win. Bakugo can't breathe underwater but you can. Tsuyu reminded herself.

As she stood at the shores her back prickled with goosebumps. She felt Shigaraki's hand coming for her and she jumped out of the way.

When she looked behind her nobody was there though. She started shivering.

She couldn't go into the water. She tried to stick her foot into it, but memories flooded her head of Shigaraki, of Aizawa almost dying to save her, of Mineta groping her. Tsuyu held her shoulders and just shivered.

What's going on? I'm outside the water but it's like there's no air. She couldn't breathe. It felt weird. Her body was sweating and yet cold.

"Asu-Tsuyu…Are you all right?" A voice snapped her out of her panic attack. She looked up and her bird headed classmate, Tokoyami was standing in front of her.

"What's wrong? She looks rough. Did I miss something?" Dark Shadow popped out and acted equally worried about Tsuyu.

She smiled. "…I don't know." She decided to return her classmates worry with honesty. "I…I got to the flood zone and it was like Shigaraki was here again. Something possessed my body."

"…Hmm…Perhaps you're being haunted by a monster too? Is there another me?" Dark Shadow asked.

Tokoyami whacked Dark Shadow lightly with the palm of his hand. "It sounds a little like you had a PTSD induced panic attack at returning to the flood zone, Asui." Even though she had asked him to call her Tsuyu he decided politeness and properness was important for this.

"Floods wouldn't scare me. That doesn't make sense." Tsuyu shook her head.

"You did almost die here. It sounds about normal to be shaken up about that." Tokoyami pointed out.

Tsuyu looked pained. "…How am I supposed to hide then? I'm supposed to be a hero. A hero of floods. If I can't be in the flood zone…"

"It could perhaps be just USJ that triggers you instead of all floods." Tokoyami pointed out. "I assume water regions outside haven't given you this reaction?"

Tsuyu shook her head. She looked frustrated with herself.

"…How about both of us hide together? Not in the flood zone though. Perhaps there's a different zone that suits your skillset just as well. I was in the downpour zone in USJ myself. There should be a lot of rain there to strengthen your energy levels." Tokoyami offered. "How about it? Will you team up with me and Dark Shadow?"

Tsuyu smiled at the offer and took Tokoyami's outstretched hand. "But…Shouldn't I confront my fears?"

"You don't have to force yourself to do something that scares you. It's fine to avoid your weaknesses I think, Asui." Tokoyami replied.

Tsuyu nodded. "It's Tsuyu." She corrected. "But I'm happy to team up with you two….Thank you for being there, Tokoyami."

"No problem. I spotted you when I was looking for a location to hide in the forest myself. And it's our duty as heroes to support our classmates." Tokoyami pointed out.

Dark Shadow gave a thumbs up. "Maybe it'll be more fun to team up anyway! It's so boring with just bird head here."

"You have a bird head too, Dark Shadow." Tokoyami pointed out.

Tsuyu smiled a bit at their banter and accompanied them away.


Ten minutes were up.

"You can go-" Aizawa told Bakugo, but he had already blasted off. "Bakugo." He finished. "Don't injure anyone-!"

Bakugo was already long gone.

"I don't think we have to worry about Young Bakugo being traumatized." All Might spoke aloud. "He seems excited."

Aizawa nodded, "It wasn't really Bakugo I was worried about…'

All Might nodded in agreement, "Now if it's all right, I will be waiting on the bus. If you need me send me a text. I have 50 minutes of active time, and I'm going to assume Bakugo won't find everyone in 40 minutes."

Aizawa nodded. "He might. He could surprise you."

All Might smiled, "I would like it if he could. But hopefully some of the students give him a run for his money." He didn't say who he was hoping would best Bakugo though.

All Might left and Aizawa watched from the entrance to make sure Bakugo didn't cause any chaos.


Bakugo blasted immediately towards the ruined city zone.

"Shitty Deku might not be here despite the hiding spots but I know Weird Hair will be here!" Bakugo still didn't fully know his classmates' names, but he remembered enough about Kirishima to know what he looked like.

Kirishima and Bakugo had teamed up in the USJ incident in the ruined city zone. He believed they had teleported to the house in the corner North. He blasted his way up to the open window. And sure enough he saw Kirishima, hardened up with his defense of Kaminari and Sero.

Sero had put tape all over the place electing to make the area a trap.

"You found me quickly enough, Bakugo. I wouldn't expect anything less from my bro." Kirishima grinned.

"Wait did you lead us to the area you were in with Bakugo?" Sero asked surprised. "Man, we are going to lose so quickly!"

Bakugo grinned. "I knew you would be here, Weird hair! After all this was where we met." He grinned.

"…Um…I've been in your class since the start now. This was not where we met." Kirishima corrected and dropped his guard.

"Do you two need to flirt with each other right in front of me?" Kaminari asked.

Bakugo charged at Kirishima, launching himself towards him with his explosions. Sero tried to shoot tape out of his elbow to get Bakugo, but Bakugo avoided it and grabbed Kirishima by the waist before he could run.

"I'm hard that won't work!" Kirishima said, waiting for Bakugo to blast him.

"Idiot. All I need to do in this exercise is to touch you. Not blast you. Your hardness does nothing when I just have to tag you." Bakugo pointed out.

"Oh." Kirishima realized his plan was flawed in many ways. "Guess I'm a seeker too?"

"CRAP." Kaminari yelled and was about to discharge electricity.

"You fool that will get us too!" Sero told him trying to get him to stop. As Kaminari and Sero argued Bakugo got off of Kirishima and the two tapped Sero and Kaminari, tagging them.

"Oh darn….Well I guess it's fun to be a seeker too." Sero frowned.

Bakugo grinned. "I told you all I'd crush you. I wanted to get shitty Deku out first, but I work better with Weird hair so I guess I could use you best as my first conquest."

Kirishima grinned like an idiot at the praise. Then he frowned. "…It's Kirishima. Did you forget my name again?"

"All your names are hard in this class! I don't know any of you!" Bakugo yelled, angrily, pulling at his hair.

Sero sighed, trying to split up the bickering. "You got us. We're seekers now. What's the plan?"

Bakugo smiled now that someone was following orders. "Split up and destroy all of them."

"You mean find. Not destroy." Kaminari corrected.

Bakugo did not reply back. "Leave shitty Deku for me though. I will tag him. I will be the one to defeat him."

The three nodded and went their separate ways.


Although they split up, they all managed to arrive in the same location: the central plaza with it's foresty zone.

"HUH? I SAID SPLIT UP, BOZOS!" Bakugo yelled.

"We did. We just….All ended up in the same place." Kirishima replied.

"I was planning to swing through the trees like a wild man in the jungle." Sero smiled.

Bakugo sighed. "I suppose we'll work as a team then to make anyone working as a team ineffective."

"I've been thinking about that." Sero said.

"Oooh big man thinking." Kaminari teased.

"And I think I have a plan for seeking everyone out. Why don't we try looking for Shoji first?" Sero asked.

Bakugo blinked. He didn't know who that was.

"The six-armed guy." Kirishima explained. "Who can make ears and eyes."

"OH." Bakugo answered.

"If we find him, we should be able to find the rest of the class easily with his quirk." Sero pointed out. "So, we should target Shoji."

Kirishima and Kaminari nodded in agreement. That was a good idea.

Bakugo crossed his arms. "No. That feels like cheating. I want an overwhelming victory. I don't want to cheat with Shoji's quirk. I want to beat Deku and that half and half guy all on my own. So, we will not ask six arms where everyone is. If we find him, we find him." He shrugged.

"…That sounds a little dumb and harder than it needs to be." Kaminari pointed out.

Kirishima was crying. "It's so manly! Seeking everyone with your own power!"

Bakugo grinned cockily that he had one person on his side. "Let's search the central plaza zone then."

The four split up again to be within talking distance but to look through the central plaza thoroughly. It wasn't too hard for them to find Sato, Koda and Shoji in the dense forest growth.

Sero did exactly as he planned and swung through the trees like a tape spiderman and came down to grab Sato before he could flee.

A swarm of birds who must have arrived from the hole in the dome that All Might had created, swarmed around Koda hiding him before Kaminari or Kirishima could tag him. Kirishima abandoned the cyclone of birds to chase after Shoji who was trying to throw several rocks to distract Kaminari and Kirishima and save his comrade.

"Over here! Pick on a bigger guy!" Shoji called. Kirishima was about to charge but Bakugo walked over and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Let him go. He can go hide again. I'll save him for last. I don't want him to be a seeker." Bakugo ordered.

"But…But…Heroes don't just let villains go! And this is like a villain capture!" Sero pointed out.

Bakugo grabbed him by the shirt. "Let him go." He hissed an order.

Everyone stood still and let Shoji make a run for it.

Bakugo put his hands out. "Now. Bird kid. Tell your bird cyclone to leave or I'll explode them and have some fried chicken." He snarled.

Koda whimpered and ordered the birds to leave. They flew away. Bakugo marched over and tapped him hard on the shoulder.

"I will have an OVERWHELMING VICTORY." He declared like a villain. Every word was filled with malice and confidence. It made Koda shiver, but everyone else was just excited about being on the winning team.


They went to the landslide zone next. There weren't many places to hide behind the slabs of rocks and Ojiro seemed to be at the top, taking the high ground and hoping he could leap over the seekers to escape.

"Aoyama! Fire your distraction beam!" Ojiro ordered when he saw Bakugo. No distraction beam was fired though and Bakugo charged at Ojiro.

Ojiro tried to leap over him but Sero used his tape to propel himself into the air. Sato jumped as well to cut him off. All three managed to trap him and Bakugo finally tapped him on the tail.

"You said someone else was in this area? Good. We'll find him as well." Bakugo grinned.

"Landslide zone is pretty barren though. I'm surprised we didn't see Aoyama on the way up. Maybe he's hiding behind one of the few trees?" Kaminari suggested.

"His plan was to hide in the dirt and camouflage himself by putting dirt on himself." Ojiro got up. "He's surprisingly good at hiding. I can help find him. Since I'm a seeker now." Ojiro offered.

Bakugo was looking very closely at the ground and huffed. "Fine! Show me your method. I don't care much about that worm anyway."

Ojiro slammed his tail on the ground causing the ground to shake. Aoyama's form became visible on the ground and Bakugo charged at him. He grabbed him by the arm before Aoyama could roll away.

"GOT YOU!" Bakugo yelled.

Aoyama shed a single tear. "Sorry Ojiro…I got scared when Bakugo blasted up."

"That's fair…He is very intense." Ojiro agreed.


The group reconvened at the central fountain to figure out what area next to scour. As they walked down the landslide zone, they saw Mineta laying on the ground by the fountain crying a little.

"I'm so tired! I lost Ashido! I thought we'd have fun together..." He wasn't even really attempting to hide or anything. He had given up. He was slamming his hands against the ground and crying.

"Let me get this one." Kaminari offered. "He probably needs some cheering up. Probably wanted to hide with one of the girls and they lost him." He shot a look of sympathy at his friend.

Bakugo huffed and stopped Kaminari. "No. Let me. Pathetic worms like that need a harder touch."

He blasted down the hill. Mineta screamed and Bakugo grabbed him as hard as he could.

"Got you. You didn't even attempt to hide." He almost blasted Mineta again.

"Bakugo. No intentionally injuring your classmates." Aizawa requested through a loudspeaker.

Bakugo growled. "But…He gave me a pathetic victory! Not an overwhelming one! I don't feel satisfied."

"…That isn't a reason to injure anyone, Bakugo. Just take the win." Aizawa said again through a speaker so Bakugo could hear him.

Bakugo sighed and just kicked Mineta a little.

Kirishima meanwhile was still scrutinizing the landslide zone. It was big and he felt like they had all mostly looked for people in a single line instead of looking behind the boulders and few trees.

"I don't think anyone else is here." Ojiro pointed out.

"They might be. You and Aoyama were only in a section of it after all. And if Mineta is on the ground talking about losing Ashido she might be close too…" Kirishima pointed out. "And I thought Hagakure hid in this area before during USJ."

Ojiro nodded. "I thought she'd hide here myself which was why I thought it might be a good place to hide. But it wasn't."

Kirishima finally looked up at one of the single trees to the west of the place Ojiro was hiding. He saw Mina holding onto a branch trying to use her camouflage like clothes to blend in. Her bright pinkness was very visible though.

"THERE SHE IS!" Kirishima pointed.

"Ack!" Mina yelled. "Don't judge me! I was running from Mineta for most of the minutes and just hid as soon as I lost him!"

Ojiro climbed the tree with his tail. Mina made a running jump and leaped out of the tree. However, Koda was patrolling the ground and waiting for her and she hadn't maneuvered in a different direction. He tapped her.

"Aww man!" Mina kicked the ground. "Did I at least finish in the top ten?"

Kirishima shook his head. "I don't think so. You're the first of the girls we've found. And we haven't seen Todoroki, Tokoyami or Deku's group. Or tagged Shoji."

Mina narrowed her eyes and looked as far as she could see with her hands as if they were hand binoculars. "I lost but I'll be the best seeker you all have ever seen!" She volunteered. She finally spotted her prey. Shoji who was trying to pose like he was a tree on the landslide zone. He was kind of struggling with hiding his rather large body.

"Found Shoji!" She cheered and slid down the mountain to tag him.

"Ashido wait, Bakugo told us not to get Shoji-!" Kirishima yelled after her, but Mina didn't hear him. Shoji tried to make another run for it, but Mina slapped him on the back.

"Got you!" Mina yelled.

Shoji sighed. "I'm not very good at hide and seek when I'm not the seeker."

Bakugo marched over to them still in a bad mood about Mineta. He looked stunned when he saw Mina and Shoji just standing there and gave Kirishima a look.

"I SAID TO LEAVE SIX-ARMS FOR LAST. So, I could have an overwhelming victory!" Bakugo yelled.

"I did. But I found Ashido, and she hadn't heard your orders." Kirishima replied.

Bakugo glared. "Don't say anything. Don't tell me where everyone is." He hissed at Shoji. It was too late though. Shoji's eyes and ears were out.

"Yaoyorozu and Jiro are in the fire zone. Midoriya, Iida and Uraraka seem to be in the mountain zone. Tokoyami and Asui are in the downpour zone. The rest might be in the ruins zone because it's rather large and has a lot of big alcoves to hide in." Shoji said proudly.

Bakugo growled and stomped his feet. "I didn't want to know that! I wanted to find them myself!" He huffed. "Stop talking. If they move don't tell me. Just don't do anything, or else." He pointed at Shoji.

Shoji's several mouths frowned. "I…I just like being a seeker in hide and seek."

"Don't care. I want to be a winner not a cheater." Bakugo replied putting his hand up ignoring Shoji.

Bakugo called everyone over. "Loudmouth over here said where everyone is. So, we're going to split up. I'm going to Deku's group in the mountain zone ON MY OWN. The rest of you all go to the fire zone and get Yaoyorozu or whatever." He shrugged.

"I'll grab Yaoyorozu all on my own boss!" Mineta saluted making small grabby hands.

"And I will stop him!" Mina volunteered. Everyone else nodded, agreeing with her.

And with that they split up.


Midoriya was waiting for Bakugo behind a rock. Uraraka and Iida were behind separate rocks keeping to the shadows.

Midoriya had a plan. "We want to be the last ones standing. That's our goal. To hold out the longest." He had told them. "So, when Kacchan comes, Uraraka you should cause all the stones on the rocks to float and fall on him. There's a lot in the mountain zone."

Uraraka had nodded.

"Iida, your goal will be to just run and perhaps distract. If Kacchan follows you he might not be able to catch you. I'll use my fingers if I have to keep his blasts away."

"You shouldn't injure your fingers so close to the sports festival!" Uraraka scolded. "You'll just be the brains. And you know what places Bakugo looks for people since you've played hide and seek with him before."

Midoriya nodded. "He tries to look at the ground and in the small areas first because I had the tendency to curl up and seclude myself in hide and seek. He doesn't look at the sky much which is why Uraraka's boulders will hit him by surprise."

They had been lying in wait after the team meeting. And as expected Bakugo blasted up the mountainside.

"I'll get you Deku!" He yelled.

"Go." Midoriya whispered. He kept to the ground and crawled away from his original hiding spot as Bakugo looked behind rock after rock.

He got impatient when he got to the fourth rock and just blasted it shattering it into pieces. This was the one Iida was hiding behind.

Iida made a run for it. Uraraka touched her rock and made it float and then launched herself in the opposite direction as Iida, touching things as she passed by hoping to get Bakugo distracted.

Bakugo didn't even notice Uraraka and didn't look to the sky. He blasted after Iida. Iida eventually tripped on the rugged terrain and since Bakugo was in the air that wasn't his problem.

"Release." Uraraka said and tried to pellet the ground with rocks to keep Bakugo from grabbing Iida.

In a sort of mid-air cartwheel Bakugo flipped around and tapped Iida while upside-down. He used his other hand to blast at the rocks in the air. Then he tumbled to the ground, his momentum and speed halted due to the attack.

"…I have been tagged and defeated. I will play the part of the villainous seeker and defeat my former friends." With a thespian's spirit Iida stood to the call of arms.

"NOT DEKU THOUGH!" Bakugo yelled. "I'm going to find him. He's probably hiding in the shadows and making you do his dirty work."

That was exactly what Midoriya was doing. He tried to push a rock off of higher elevation to distract Iida and Bakugo away from Uraraka. Bakugo just assumed it was Uraraka's doing and didn't even pause to look up to see how the rock had fallen.

Instead, he searched what could be considered large caves and cracks in the mountain zone for where Midoriya might be. Meanwhile, Midoriya silently found a tree and climbed up it, hiding higher up.

Iida started his engines and ran towards the place Uraraka had disappeared too. Running as fast as he could he narrowly dodged any rocks still in the air that Uraraka was now dropping.

Once he saw Uraraka standing in the mountain zone like a deer in headlights he charged at her. She wasn't nearly as fast as Iida. Iida easily tapped her on the shoulder.

"Aww man…" Uraraka frowned.

Bakugo was still blasting at the ground looking for Midoriya. Midoriya went pale and put a finger to his lips to singal to Uraraka not to sell him out from the tree.

Uraraka smiled. "Sorry, I'm a seeker now." She shrugged. And before Iida and Bakugo could stop her she ran up to the tree and touched it.

"AHH!" Midoriya yelled holding onto the tree as it unrooted itself and floated up.

Bakugo looked up when he heard Midoriya's screams. He launched himself into the air to grab him.

Midoriya lost his clutch on the tree and fell to the ground. Iida ran forward to catch him but before he could, Uraraka reached out with her hand.

Midoriya on instinct, reached out as well so she could make him float instead of slamming into the ground. She did, smiling.

"Tag! You're one of us now!" Uraraka smiled.

"NOOOO! No!" Bakugo fell to the ground. "I was supposed to get Deku! Why'd you hit him? I was going to have an overwhelming victory!"

Since Midoriya had been defeated Iida ran off to find the rest of his classmates since he was now a seeker.

"Sorry Kacchan…I guess that's what happens when you have multiple seekers." Midoriya laughed nervously.

Bakugo was visibly steaming. "I still have that half and half to defeat though…I can still do this. An overwhelming victory. I'll look everywhere for him!"

"What should we do in the meantime?" Ochako asked.

"I don't know. I don't care. Go help the rest in the fire zone or something." Bakugo shrugged. He didn't care much about Yaoyorozu and Jiro.

Midoriya nodded and followed orders as Bakugo started his relentless search.


Iida meanwhile was running everywhere "I am here for rescue!" He yelled as he ran, eventually making it to the ruins zone.

Before Bakugo could even try looking for Todoroki, Iida slid to a stop seeing Todoroki just sort of sitting silently in a damaged room.

The two stared directly at each other, Iida waiting for Todoroki to make his move like make an ice wall or something.

"You found me." Todoroki smiled. He looked a little sad all on his own. Nobody else was aware but he had been recalling his time alone with his father, all alone in a room with him training over and over again. He was slightly dissociating.

"You're supposed to run, Todoroki!" Iida scolded.

"Oh. Would you like me to do that now?" Todoroki offered.

Iida sighed and walked over tapping him on the shoulder. "No. You don't look like you're in the mood."

Todoroki nodded. "I…I think after being with the class for these past two and a half weeks I prefer company over being totally alone. I don't really want to fight. Thank you for finding me Iida."

Iida smiled. "No problem. It's a hero's job to search and rescue." He assumed Todoroki was just lost in thought about USJ, being a little traumatized having no idea of the stuff that was haunting Todoroki's soul.

The two walked off together as Bakugo continued to search mindlessly for Todoroki.


Midoriya and Uraraka arrived at the fire zone. Sero, Mina, Mineta, Sato, Aoyama, Ojiro Shoji, Koda, Kirishima and Kaminari just all looked like they were at a loss.

"They have fire extinguishers!" Kaminari complained. "So, they can go anywhere. And I think this zone is designed to light on fire again when things are put out! We've been trying to chase them but Yaoyorozu is too strong."

Midoriya thought. "We are at a disadvantage because they can make anything. Even firefighting gear. Let's try to split up and corner them. Mineta, could you put non-burning pieces of wreckage together with your balls to try to build a wall? We could place the wall in an intersection and start eliminating the places they can run to."

Everyone nodded following Midoriya's advice. It was hard to breathe in this zone

"Keep above the smoke." Ojiro reminded everyone as they started building their walls.

"I can't. I'm short!" Mineta cried.

"You're going to have to leave then." Mina grinned, "Unless you want to inhale a bunch of smoke."

Mineta cried, but eventually nodded leaving to wait for everyone in the forest zone. Mina fist pumped to herself.

Eventually Yaoyorozu and Jiro made their run for it again as the seekers got closer and closer. As predicted, they stopped at the new walls and changed the course of their run. Midoriya's plan was working.

The eventually stopped running and quarantined in a burning room on the second story of a burning building. The door was locked as the rest of the students surrounded them from outside.

"They have gas masks in there." Shoji informed everyone, watching from the street view. "And oxygen tanks!"

"We can stay here all day!" Yaoyorozu taunted. "You'll never get us." She laughed, loudly.

"I'll charge in there." Kirishima offered. "Flames shouldn't hurt me as much when I'm super hard."

Midoriya thought about it. Yaoyorozu could just keep creating things and her and Jiro seemed pretty well defended. Jiro hasn't used her quirk yet, either…And if Kirishima charges in there she can easily blast us with her sound attacks, stunning us as they flee again…

There were no animals for Koda to control. Their options were limited.

"Aoyama could you use your navel laser to blast right after Kirishima charges in?" Midoriya suggested, "Oh but that means Kirishima will have to rush in at an angle so Aoyama can blast straight ahead…" He mumbled.

"What will Aoyama blasting do?" Uraraka whispered so Jiro couldn't hear their plan.

"It should blind them. His laser's really bright and sparkling." Midoriya explained quietly his plan. "Jiro won't be able to use her sound attack if she's momentarily blinded. That would risk aiming it at Yaoyorozu too, and she doesn't want that." Midoriya explained.

Aoyama nodded. "I can do that! I will create a dazzling display!"

"Sero, you wait on the ground level with Shoji. Go by the windows so if they try to jump out you can catch them with your tape." Midoriya ordered.

Sero nodded.

"Sato, you charge in after Aoyama's light attack to corner them even more with Kirishima." Midoriya ordered.

Sato smiled.

"Ojiro, I want you to go up to the next floor and break the ceiling with your tail. Uraraka, you accompany him and touch the rubble so it doesn't crush anyone, just appears like it's coming towards them." Midoriya decided, "Kaminari, Koda, you help Sero at the ground level."

Everyone nodded.

Kirishima barged in. Aoyama immediately blasted right after to temporarily blind the area. Jiro already had her earjack in her leg though and she immediately blasted her sound wave at the door.

Midoriya covered his ears.

Oh yeah…Yaoyorozu can make headphones… He recalled. He had seen Jiro and Yaoyorozu for a mere moment before Aoyama's blast, and they had both had headphones on.

Yaoyorozu tried to flee out the window during the people at the door's distraction, but Sero's net of tape was waiting.

She created a hammer and smashed the floor. She'd escape through the ceiling instead.

At that moment the ceiling caved in as Ojiro burst through with Uraraka.

The rubble about to fall on Yaoyorozu caused her to freeze for just long enough for Ojiro to reach her shoulder with his tail and tap her.

"Oh darn." Yaoyorozu frowned. She quickly put her hand on Jiro's shoulder before she fled through the hole they had created.

"I could have still escaped you know…" Jiro pointed out.

"We fall together." Yaoyorozu said simply. They had been beaten. And now they were more than willing to join the group.

"There's a lot of you, so I think we did decent!" Jiro reassured Yaoyorozu.

"Yes. I do not feel poor about our hiding skills." Yaoyorozu smiled.

"I'm so glad Midoriya was here. That would have taken forever without him." Kaminari breathed a sigh of relief.


Now with two more in toe they grouped up at the downpour zone where Shoji said Tsuyu and Tokoyami were.

"I'm glad Tsuyu isn't in the flood zone. None of us can swim as well as her." Midoriya sighed in relief.

"I could have made diver gear." Yaoyorozu pointed out.

It was raining hard, and a new zone meant a new search at stake.

"Where did you hide with Tokoyami while you were here, Koda?" Midoriya asked.

Koda pointed to various alleyways.

Before the group could start searching, Bakugo arrived in the darkened and drenched downpour zone. He was steaming in anger.

"I've searched everywhere for that half and half! He must be here! This is the land zone I haven't gone too!" Bakugo was kicking and huffing.

As he yelled, down the street, Iida and Todoroki arrived in the downpour zone.

Bakugo just stared blankly at them. "No. NO! No! You already tagged him?" He glared accusingly at Iida.

Iida smiled, proudly. "Yes! Our team has grown larger!"

Todoroki nodded, "He got me."

Bakugo screamed and almost charged at Todoroki. Kirishima slid in front of him.

"Hey. Don't worry. You tagged Iida and Iida tagged Todoroki so it's kinda an indirect victory for you?" Kirishima pointed out. "Now. Would taking out Tokoyami and Tsuyu cheer you up?"

Bakugo huffed and gave a small nod.

"That's right!" Kirishima said soothingly.

Bakugo glared at the rest of them. "Don't do anything any of you! I'll be the one getting them." He barged into the downpour zone and tried to make an explosion to launch himself into the air to look for them.

The blast was dampened by the rain. He stared at the rain. And then he started at his hands.

"…Fire can't work very well in rain." Todoroki said quietly.

"Kacchan's weakness…..is water?" Midoriya clamped his hand over his mouth.

Bakugo glared. "I've decided to let half-and half do something. Drag them out of here with your ice and I'll grab them!" He was not going in there with a weakened quirk.

Everyone nodded and went into the downpour zone to look for Tsuyu and Tokoyami. Koda checked out all the places he and Tokoyami had been.

Todoroki slid on the ground looking for them. Eventually Sero found them sticking to the walls where everyone wasn't looking.

"There they are!" Sero yelled.

It became a chase as Tokoyami and Tsuyu leaped from wall after wall and their classmates tried chasing them, only some of them having the mobility to go the walls themselves like Sero and Mineta.

"I'll finally contribute! I will! I will!" Mineta yelled.

Kaminari let out his electricity to try to zap them down. But because of the rain it was both more harmful and not going to it's intended location. It zapped Sato and Ojiro who were right next to him.

Midoriya was trying to figure out how to wall run instead of just leaving everything to Sero to try to get them down. "Todoroki, can you freeze the next wall they get onto? So that they can't stick to it and climb?"

"Dark shadow should still be able to climb on ice…" Todoroki pointed out.

"Tsuyu won't be able to though. She'll slip up and Tokoyami will have to catch her allowing Sero to catch up or Mineta or Shoji to grow a longer arm to grab them." Midoriya pointed out.

Todoroki nodded and tried to cut them off, icing the wall. As planned Tsuyu slipped from the ice.

"Dark shadow, catch her!" Tokoyami yelled, grabbing onto the ice with his own hand and allowing dark shadow to rush to Tsuyu's rescue.

As planned, Sero caught up to them. Dark Shadow erected a barrier to protect Tsuyu but Sero tagged Tokoyami.

"Got you! And since Dark shadow's holding Tsuyu it means I got her too!" Sero declared.

"I'm not Tokoyami though! So, I'm not tagged!" Dark Shadow looked as if he was blowing rasberries at Sero. He had no mouth though so he was just miming it.

"It's true. I don't consider he and I the same person. And you can't really grab or tag darkness." Tokoyami replied. Sero stared at him as he slid down the ice wall to the ground and waxed philosophy.

"Although I think you're technically right, Tokoyami, I think this does count as a victory for them." Tsuyu jumped out of Dark Shadows clutch and onto the ground, seeing Mineta crawl towards her on the ice wall.

"But…You can still leap away and flee. You have the energy from the rain!" Tokoyami pointed out.

Tsuyu stuck out her tongue and hit Tokoyami's shoulder briefly. "Yeah, but I don't want to be tagged by Mineta. So, you tagged me."

Tokoyami blinked but nodded. That was a fair point.

And they had a victory!


Once they got out of the downpour zone, Bakugo kicked and growled all the way back to the entrance. "It…Wasn't an overwhelming victory. I didn't get Deku. I didn't get half and half…I didn't get bird man." He was grumbling and mumbling all the way back.

All Might arrived quickly back in his muscle form, pretending that he had never left.

Aizawa got out of his sleeping bag to greet them.

All Might smiled "Good for you! Young Bakugo you won in under 2 hours! And all of you faced your past at USJ, you've won my boy-"

"Wait. There's only 19 of them." Aizawa counted.

Bakugo's eyes widened. He looked at his classmates. "This is all of them though…right?"

"We're missing Toru. She split up with me and Tsuyu and is hiding on her own." Mina replied.

"I'm proud of Toru. She's the last one standing. She beat even Todoroki who I think we all thought would hide the longest because he's a recommendation student." Tsuyu clapped.

Bakugo's eye twitched. "And…Who's Toru again?"

"The invisible one." Kirishima pointed out.

Bakugo rubbed his forehead. His greatest challenge was not Todoroki and Midoriya…It was an invisible student in hide and seek.

"We'll get her! I'll have an overwhelming victory and will win in under three hours!" Bakugo declared. "Six arms. You're allowed to use your quirk now."

Shoji rolled several eyes, "Oh, so now I am?" He put his ears out to try to listen for Toru. He then stood still for a good moment. "Um….Uhhh….I can't find her."

"WHAT?" Bakugo almost hit Shoji with an explosion.

"Well if she's not moving around and is just sitting still she'll be expending less energy and breathing less loudly and moving less. And I can't hear her even with all my ears." Shoji moved his ears around.

Jiro plugged her earjack into the ground to try giving things a listen too. She shook her head after a moment.

"Well…You have your final mission. Find the last student!" All Might yelled.

Everyone nodded and went their separate ways looking for Toru.

All Might turned around about to make a beeline for the bus once they were out of sight. Aizawa stopped him.

"…Did you see where she went?" Aizawa asked.

All Might glanced at Aizawa. "No. She's invisible. Why?"

"Because I just realized I don't know where she is either." Aizawa groaned. Hopefully they'll find her though. Ectoplasm did. More eyes and ears mean she's less likely to go missing. He just had to trust his students.

Just in case though he should probably start searching through security camera footage.


Toru sat on the ground in the ruin city zone in one of the houses that had fallen into a ravine and was in the darkness. She thought it was open enough to not be a too hard hiding spot.

I shouldn't hide too well…I am invisible after all. But if anyone's hands come near me, I'll tell them I'm here or loudly run away. Toru thought to herself.

She wondered if she'd be found 10th place or maybe 12th. There was a lot of energy in her class, so she thought she'd be found soon enough.

I've never played hide and seek though. I wonder if I'm any good at it? She hadn't ever had friends her age to play with. And as a child growing up on the streets, she wanted to be found but nobody found her.

She decided to just be quiet and curl up in her little ball of being not a person, just a tool. She was nothing, she pretended she was one with the wall to try to do her best to not get blasted whenever Bakugo was around.

She must have been a little too good at it because she wasn't even aware when five hours had passed. Am I doing well? How long do people normally hide? …Well, I'm in a school of hero students. Two students are apparently stellar 'recommendation' students, so they'll do way better at this game since I've never played it.


The sun was starting to go down outside. Bakugo was steaming.

"Five hours…It's taken five whole hours and I still don't have my victory!" He was just throwing a fit now.

"I made an x-ray machine…" Yaoyorozu suggested. "Maybe we could try that?" She had already tried heat signature goggles.

"Is Toru invisible to heat signature technology too? I hope we can see her on an x-ray machine…" Mina looked nervous. "Her invisibility is OP. I wasn't aware how invisible she could be."

"I'm sure this is all part of the exercise!" Iida reassured. "It's not like we'll leave Hagakure because we can't find her, after all…" His nervous expression suddenly was plastered with fear.

"What if we never find her?" Kaminari wailed. "We've looked everywhere and she's literally invisible! Finding a needle in a haystack would be easier. And what if she's gone to sleep and doesn't realize we're still looking!"

As the students got antsier and antsier, Aizawa started too quietly panic. He hadn't seen any sign of where she had gone on in security camera footage.

What if they can't find her? Should I call Hound dog? Would he be able to find her? Hound Dog was really the only person on the staff who might be able to locate her. Even Ectoplasm might not have much more luck if Hagakure 1. Thought she should keep hiding and 2. If 19 other people still hadn't had much luck.

I had no clue how easy it was to lose an invisible student…This is bad. For from helping the students, Hagakure going missing might retraumatize them.

All Might texted Aizawa. "How goes it? Did you find her yet?"

"No." Aizawa texted back.

All Might and the class likely still thought things were going fine, and this was just a part of the exercise, but the class should never have gone on this long.

How did Ectoplasm find her the first time? She probably told him she was there….But right now we told her to hide. Meaning she won't come out for anyone. Aizawa thought. He was keeping track of the time. School had already ended, but the students in their determination were still looking for Toru. Bakugo refused to give up and 'lose in a humiliating fashion'.

Aizawa briefly wondered if having an invisible student was dangerous. If she gets attacked and goes unconscious, will we be able to find her? Probably. It wasn't like her blood went invisible too, right?

He was beginning to panic a lot though about the questions he had never asked about an invisible student.

Aizawa left briefly to speak to All Might in the bus. All Might immediately went into his muscle form and got out to approach him.

"This exercise has gone on a little too long." Aizawa decided. "We should probably start looking too and call the other teachers."

"Oof." All Might said out loud. Their exercise was going pretty badly. Who lost their own students? "I probably won't be able to look for her…" He admitted. He was at his limit of appearances in his muscle form even with all his breaks.

Aizawa groaned. "This is bad."

"Maybe we should make an announcement for her to come out?" All Might suggested. "The problem is she's hiding purposefully thanks to us, right? And she's a little too good at it? So we'll just ask her to come out."

Aizawa frowned. This is going to trample some of the students spirits even more. I bet Bakugo will somehow get even more competitive over this. "Fine. Yeah, I think that's the best response at this point."

All Might smiled and marched back into USJ with Aizawa. He placed the power of One for All into his voice to make himself louder. "TORU HAGAKURE!" He shouted, "YOU HAVE WON THE HIDE AND SEEK GAME! THE MATCH IS OVER! PLEASE COME OUT!"

The trees trembled from All Might's voice. Everyone heard him.

Bakugo screamed from down in USJ. "NO! No! I lost? No, I'll keep looking even if it takes a week if it means I win!"

"People are sleepy." Aizawa yelled back down at him. "We're just going to call for her."

Bakugo continued to scream.

Aizawa gestured for the students to join him and they all made it back to the entrance. After a few minutes, Shoji perked up.

"She's over there!" He pointed down the stairs.

Aizawa still couldn't see anything, but he could hear the sound of movement now.

"Sorry guys!" Toru called as she joined them. "Were you waiting for me long?" She pretended to wheeze like she had run quickly from a long distance.

"Young Hagakure! You did absolutely amazing! You won the game by a longshot!" All Might praised heavily.

"In hindsight we probably should have put a time limit on the game or forced you into a seeker role from the get-go." Aizawa mumbled. He tried not to glance at the sea of annoyed students faces.

Of course, an invisible student would win hide and seek.

"You didn't really need the training to hide, but you could have perhaps used some training in seeking." Aizawa grumbled. "It was my mistake." He admitted.

Toru grabbed her shoes and gloves, shaking them as if confused. "I don't really understand. Was I really that good?"

Iida smiled, shaking off the frustration at failing. "You did amazing! You beat us all by three hours. We were searching for you, for a while!" He praised.

Mina nodded and approached Toru. "I'd avoid Bakugo if I were you." Mina whispered after clapping for Toru's victory, "He's mad you stopped his overwhelming victory."

Wait, I won? Toru's head was spinning. That wasn't what I wanted! I wanted to finish average! She had no idea of how long a normal hide and seek game was supposed to go on. Nothing to base that off of and she was realizing that her idea of other student's capacity to find her was quite wrong.

Midoriya approached her, an excited smile on his face too, even though he had lost. "Can I ask you some questions about your quirk?"

No, no. This was the exact opposite of what I wanted. I don't want him paying ANY attention to my quirk. Toru frowned. "Uhh…Sure." She hoped Midoriya's questions were harmless.

"We were looking for you with heat signature goggles and we couldn't find you! Are you invisible to technology too?" Midoriya asked excitedly.

"Mmhmm." Toru just said matter-of-factly, "X ray, heat signature, ultrasound, you name it, nothing can see me."

Aizawa just stared horrified by that fact. That's dangerous. What if something happens and we lose her again? Not to mention that it might be dangerous if she got injured…He shook his head, shaking off the brief fear. "In the future for these exercises you probably should wear your gloves and shoes to not have too unfair of an advantage." He decided.

Toru's hands drooped. "I'm sorry." She sounded absolutely miserable.

Aizawa felt a little bad that he was making her not use her quirk to its full advantage in a quirk school.

"I've never played hide and seek before or really heard of it." She admitted, "So I didn't really know how to play. If I did it wrong, I'm so so sorry!" She looked like her hands might be bowing.

What does she mean she never heard of hide and seek? Kinda weird for a kid to not know the rules of the game. Aizawa shook his head. This wasn't Toru's fault, it was his for not realizing this game was dangerous with an invisible student.

"How did you never play hide and seek? Did you not have any friends or something?" Bakugo seemed to ask the question Aizawa had.

Mina glared. "That's rude! It's probably the obvious reason…People didn't want to lose to her. Probably. I mean kids take losing about as well as you."

Bakugo was about to blast her but Kirishima stepped in between them.

Kids were smarter than me, her teacher. Of course, hide and seek would be a bad game for Hagakure. They can easily lose her. Aizawa realized. There was nothing weird about what Toru had said. Her miserableness shoved the confusion out of his mind.

"Well…I think you did great Young Hagakure! If Heroes can't find you, villains certainly never will!" All Might clapped and praised.

As the students lined up and walked out of USJ All Might slunk to the back to be with Aizawa.

"Despite the Hagakure hiccup I think this exercise worked! They don't look like they're thinking about USJ at all!" All Might pointed out.

"That's because they're tired from losing." Aizawa pointed out. But All Might made a good point. If they had handled this well, they could handle the sports festival. There had been no noticeable breaks in their sanity or something and all of them looked normal now.

Everything should be fine.


Lot more of the other characters in this chapter than there usually is. And Midoriya got to actually do things in this chapter too!

Anyway I mostly wanted there to be more training in this chapter, and to write a fun hide and seek game as well as set up a few other things that'll come up later on.
