Day 3: Dungeons & Dragons

Class 1A and 1B decided to play Dungeons and Dragons for game night. (For simplicity's sake I will be using their stats that were provided in the official character book.) Nedzu was chosen to be the dungeon master to avoid biases. For some odd reason, the principal said that he will have a location for them and that to prepare. The first few days were spent thinking up their characters, creating costumes and reading that tome they call a rule book. On the fourth day, Nedzu brought the two classes to a facility in the middle of a forest.

"Ok students this will be the field to which we will be using as a game stage. I wanted it to be as realistic as possible. Class 1A and 1B will be going in from separate entrances to the ancient ruins." Nedzu explained. He took out a small box. "Your goal will be this. A time limit of six hours has been set. You'll be graded for this game so do your best. Please remember to be careful because there are traps and equally dangerous creatures that lurk in this facility."

"Yes sir!" The students replied unanimously.

The principals face then turned scary. Stepping off the stool that he used for the announcement, he walked away from the students. When he was a few meters away from them, he turned back towards them. A creepy smile on his face. "Oh and try not to die."

Everyone gulped from his last words. The two teams made their way to their respective entry points. Once the signal was given the teams moved according to their strategies. Class B moved in four teams of five while Class A moved in five teams of four to scour the place. One such team consisted of Izuku, Ochako, Tenya and Tsuyu.

"What do you think is inside the box?" Ochako asked Izuku.

"I'm not really sure. It's Principal Nedzu we're talking about. So it's kinda hard to know what's on his mind," Izuku answered. The sound of explosions and deranged cackling was heard in the distance. "Welp, Kacchan seems to be having fun,"

"He sounds more like a goblin than the ones we encountered earlier," Tsuyu said bluntly.

"Bakugo-san needs to be careful with his explosions or he will cause a forest fire," Tenya said. "Hopefully, he does not injure any of the other students."

"Ahahahaha!" An eerie voice came from above causing the four to look up. Pixie Bob was standing on top of a boulder dressed as a siren. Her hair was undone and covering her face like that girl in the horror movies. "It is I the lonely maiden! Ladies you may pass."

"What?" The group of students said.

"So what would happen to the boys?" Tsuyu asked.

"Why, they become mine my dear," Pixie Bob answered with a smile that sent chills down both boys' spine. "I'll even direct you to where the treasure is. So how about it?"

"Isn't there another way?" Izuku asked the woman.

"No," Pixie Bob said as she animated the land. Licking her lips in the way that Midnight does when she goes into her sadist mode. "Oh and you better hurry. I'm getting impatient. I might just take the boys and run."

"Hmm, it seems like a fair deal. It would hasten the girls to our objective." Tenya said. "What say you Midorya-kun?"

"Ochako-chan?" Tsuyu whispered as she observed her silent friend.

"Yeah, let's do it," Izuku answered. "Pixie Bob!"

"Oh so you've come to a decision then?" Pixie Bob asked. "Out with it then!"

Izuku opened his mouth about to voice their decision but was cut off when his friend hissed. Apparently Ochako came to a different decision. She sent a challenging glared at the pro hero. "No!"

The other three members of the party turned to the brunette. A look of surprise on the face. Quirking an eyebrow, Pixie Bob asked. "No?"

"No!" Ochako answered defiantly. She grabbed Izuku's hand and began running the other way. Forgetting about the rest of their party. Inside the control room, the principal watched the scene unfold with an approving smile on his face.

"Good job young Uraraka," Nedzu said before pressing a button. "Now let me help you out."

"Uraraka-san!" Izuku called. "We left Asui, I mean Tsuyu-chan and Iida-san back there."

"It's fine," Ochako said. "They're both fast. They'll catch up."

The ground in their immediate path opened. Unable to stop, they both fell in the trap. Izuku took Uraraka and held her close. Adjusting their position so that he would be the one to take the brunt of their fall.

Finally reaching the bottom, they found that the hole they fell in was actually part of a tunnel. The moon was their only source of light. Unaware of the position they had landed on.

"Are you ok Uraraka-san?" Izuku asked worriedly from the bottom. Arms still wrapped around her.

"Yeah, I think so," she replied as she lifted herself up. Getting a good look at her companion. Izuku was bleeding from the head. "Deku-kun! Your head!"

"It's just a scratch," Izuku said sheepishly.

"Noit's not!" She argued. Grabbing some supplies from her pack, she bandaged the boy's head and pouted. "When will you learn to not to be so reckless?"

"It's alright Uraraka-san," Izuku replied calmly. "As long as I managed to protect you. It's worth it."

Ochako blushed at his words. He really meant them. Again, she was waging war against her emotions. Trying to rationalize and find reasons as to why they cannot be together.

"I'm going to see if I can climb back to where we were," Izuku said, trying to get up. Only to realize their current position. His face turning crimson and began to sweat profusely. "Um, Uraraka-san."

"Deku-kun?" She responded. Curious as to the boy's sudden change in demeanour.

"..."

"Deku-kun?" Ochako repeated. Finally noticing how close they were, her face took on a similar shade and jumped back. Blurting out possible excuses as to why she did not get off him sooner while covering her face to hide her embarrassment.

Izuku stood up. Activating his power at five percent, he jumped to one of the walls. It would have been fine if it were not so slippery and the fact that the hole closed. Trapping them inside. Parts of the tunnel suddenly lit up as if guiding them.

"I guess we go that way," Izuku said, following the lit path.

"Ok," she replied without hesitation and followed him. 'Deku-kun, I believe in you. Just based on your track record, I know I can trust you.'

"Hey can I ask you a question?" Izuku asked nervously.

"Sure," Ochako replied.

"Why did you do what you did earlier?" Izuku asked.

Realizing what he meant, Ochako's face lit up. She masked herself with silence. Not getting a response, Izuku turned to his friend.

"Uraraka-san?" Izuku called to her.

"I'm not letting some hag-a-saurus take you away from me," she whispered inaudibly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you," Izuku lied but was not sure if he heard her right. "Would you mind repeating that?"

"I don't know. My body moved before I had a chance to think," Ochako said. She lifted her head but still avoided making eye contact. Pouting. "Why? Did you want to stay there with her?"

"Um, no, that's not really why I asked. I was just curious," Izuku stammered. He started walking again. "Anyways we should get going."

He was stopped by a hand taking his own. He turned to Ochako to see her in the same state as earlier. A brow lifting. Asked an unvoiced question.

"Sorry, just let me hold your hand for now. This place makes me feel uneasy," Ochako explained meekly.

"Alright," Izuku said with a warm smile.

A few hours had past and the game had ended. The students had gathered defeated. None of them had found the objective. They exchanged stories and shared a few drinks, non-alcoholic of course.

"Is everyone here?" The principal asked jumping off the bus.

"No sir, we were separated from Midorya-kun and Uraraka-san earlier and still have yet to return," Iida answered.

"I see," Nedzu replied.

"Sir, shouldn't we go look for them?" Kirishima asked. "I mean, I don't doubt that Midorya and Uraraka can handle themselves but it's not manly to leave someone behind!"

"It won't be necessary," Nedzu answered.

There were some rustling in the bushes, gaining everyone's attention. Izuku and Ochako came out. Hands still intertwined and blushing. Seeing that everyone was already there, the two gave sheepish smiles.

"Sorry for being late everyone," Izuku apologized. "We got trapped in the ruins."

"DAMN NERD!" Katsuki raged. "STOP CAUSING TROUBLE FOR EVERYONE!"

"Ahem," the principal coughed. "Now that everyone's here. It is time to end this game, officially. Since no one had managed to find the treasure for this adventure."

"Ah," Izuku interrupted. Pulling out a small box from his pocket.

"You found it!?" Most of the students blurted.

"There was a room in the tunnel we got trapped in," Ochako answered.

"Well then, since you found the treasure," Nedzu said. He took out his phone and pressed a couple of buttons. The box opened revealing a piece of paper. "Congratulations! You just won a year's worth of free lunches by Lunch-Rush."

Ochako's eyes sparkled when she heard that. A bit of drool hanged from her mouth. Internally rejoicing from all the money she'll save with it.

"Deku-kun! Isn't this great!?" She said rhetorically as she flailed her free hands around. Unable to contain her glee. Completely oblivious of how close she was to him.

"Um… Yeah," Izuku said. Looking anywhere but her in an effort to hide his embarrassment.

"Anyways," Nedzu said. Motioning everyone to get on their busses. "We should head back to UA."

"I'm sorry Iida-kun, Tsuyu-chan," Ochako said from her seat beside Izuku.

"It's ok," Tsuyu said. "I'm just glad you're ok."

"That was quite reckless, Uraraka-san," Iida lectured. Adjusting his glasses on his face, he sighed. "Nevertheless, I am glad that neither of you were hurt."

"Thank you," Ochako said.

Sero popped from his seat behind them. Seeing their hands still connected, a sly smile appeared on his face.

"Are you sure you didn't just go hiding behind a rock again?" Sero asked teasingly.

The sound of a pin could be heard from the silence that followed after. His question caused most of their classmates to turn their attention towards them. A tick mark appeared on the perverted duo's heads.

"Hmm?" Izuku sounded questioningly.

"You know," Sero said slyly. "Just like in the provisional license exam but this time with the real Uraraka."

"What!?" The two shouted. Their faces turned red and began a series of excuses. "IT'SNOTLIKETHATWEWERETRAPPEDANDWENEEDEDTOESCAPEAND!"

"Midorya!"

Author's Notes:

Hello readers,

This chapter was challenging but it was a lot of fun to do. I will apologize right now. I know that it's not exactly DND. I have very little to no experience playing the game. I do know that Nedzu would take it too far if he were invited to a game though. Haha, poor class 1A and 1B.

Anyways thank you for the positive responses and I hope you're enjoying the story!
