"Well this is...unexpected." Tsumugi said as they saw Eri standing right on the path.
"Yeah, we've been given the go ahead to let Eri go to the School Festival." Mirio said.
"However, the principal decided it would be best to take her around the campus so she doesn't feel overwhelmed considering she's been cut off from society for a long time." Aizawa said.
"Hmm. That does seem like a good idea. It would help her become well acquainted with the school and its festivities." Jexi said.
"Sure. We could use a break anyway." Izuku said.
They soon started to explore the campus while passing a few interesting sites.
"Hmm. Looks like everyone is really getting into it even though it's a Saturday." Ibuki said.
"Yeah. I wonder what...gah!" Usopp shouted as a large dragon head was shown to them.
"Whoops. Sorry. Oh, hey guys." Tetsutetsu said.
"Hey Tetsutetsu. I see Class 1-B is hard at work as we are." Hope said.
"Oh what a surprise. The heroic failure and his lackeys of Class A are loafing about acting like they have nothing to do while the rest of us are doing our best." Monoma said.
"And my good mood is gone." Hope sighed.
"Eri, are you okay?" Tsumugi asked.
"I thought it was that dragon from before." Eri said.
"A dragon? Oh, you mean Ryukyu." Himeno said.
"Just gonna ignore me? Talk about rude. I heard Class A is doing a concert. That's cute but Class B's performance is gonna make you wish you were never here. We're doing Romeo and Juliet and the Prisoner of Azkaban: The Return of the King. It's a completely original play written by us. A super hyper fantasy epic!" Monoma said.
"Did you just mix three workings into one?" David asked.
"A crammed play like that's gonna have a lot of detail." Hope said.
"Oh...is someone jealous. Well...you heroes are gonna be crying and wishing you weren't here. You should just realize how superior we are!" Monoma said before Awase knocked him out with a piece of wood.
"Sorry about that. He's been nastier than usual since Kendo isn't around to keep him in line." Awase said.
"Did he always have this much of an inferiority complex?" Sachiko asked.
"Unfortunately, yes." David said.
"Wait, where is Kendo? I thought she's always around Monoma to knock him out." Hope said.
"You took her into your group? But that's not the reason today. She's too busy prepping for the beauty pageant. She didn't even mean to enter." Awase said.
"Monoma was still right though. We're pulling out all the stops!" Tetsutetsu said.
"Don't know… Romeo and Juliet, combined with Harry Potter and Lord of Rings… All I can see is a big fustercluck." David said.
"Trust me, it's a lot better performed than said." Tetsutetsu said.
"Okay… I guess we'll just take your word for it, then." David said.
"Beauty...pageant?" Hope said.
"Yeah. Apparently Kendo has a lot of underground fans from that commercial. But the one people are most excited about seeing win...is the Big Three's Nejire Hado." Mirio said.
The tour of UA continued on as normal as they showed Eri across campus until ending off in the cafeteria.
"So...what did you think?" Tsumugi asked.
"Well...I'm not sure. But...it seems like everyone's having fun putting the festival together and I do want to know how it all turns out." Eri said.
"Well...seems everything is turning out quite well." a voice said as they turned to see Nezu eating with Midnight as he munched on cheese.
"Oh...principal!" Hope said. "Man that's a lot of cheese."
"I'm glad to hear that she's so eager for this." Nezu said.
"If only the police could see it our way." Midnight said.
"Now now, Kayama." Nezu said before heading off.
"I'll spare you all the gory details. The principal fought hard for all of you so that this festival could go on. As such security is a lot stricter than it has been in recent years. If an alarm sounds, even a false one or if a number of you heroes walk off to fight somewhere, we'll have to shut down and evacuate." Midnight said.
"Right. Sometimes we do forget about the burden we sometimes make for others." Jexi said.
"Of course, we've beefed up our defense, even letting the school counselor, Hound Dog, off his leash to patrol." Midnight said.
"Don't worry. We'll do our best to make sure nothing spoils this festival." Hope said.
And so, practice for the upcoming concert continued on as normal over the passing days. Then came the night before the school festival as the group relaxed with a tea break.
"Hmm. Today's tea isn't too bad." Brook said.
"Oh, thank you. Mother sent me this rare tea that is impossible to find called Gold Tips Imperial. Please enjoy a cup, everyone." Yaoyorozu said.
"Hey, Deku, do you want some...ah!" Ochako said seeing Izuku scrolling rapidly through his phone muttering something before accidently pressing a video.
"Oh...pressed it by accident." Izuku said.
"Gentle Video." the logo said as the most recent announcement video played.
"Oh, a video about drinking tea." Ochako said. "That was short."
"Hey, that was one of Gentle's videos." Indigo said.
"Ugh...I swear I'm gonna regret ever telling you guys about him." Miles said.
"It's still nuts that he hasn't been caught yet. I wonder what he's planning right now." Izuku said.
Meanwhile…
"Tomorrow is the day, La Brava. The day we make criminal history." Gentle said.
"Really? Oh I can't wait." La Brava said. "So we'll really do it?"
"Indeed. Tomorrow, we'll infiltrate UA...during their school festival." Gentle said.
