SLEDDING

"Are you sure this is safe?" Kaminari asked as he clambered aboard the toboggan.

"Of course not!" Kirishima slapped the green rocket engine strapped to the side. "The danger makes it super manly!" He paused, and added, "It's also super manly to respect people's boundaries and not pressure them into doing something that could cause loss of limb, life, and dental insurance."

Kaminari eyed the steep, snowy slope skeptically. "I don't know. I'm supposed to be the idiot of the class, doing the stupidest thing possible for comic relief, but this feels too stupid for me."

Mineta wriggled his eyebrows and said, "Jirou will be watching."

Kaminari leapt aboard and strapped himself in with a strip of Sero's tape. "Woohoo! Let's get this bad boy airborne!"

Off to the side, Momo sat behind a wooden stall. Odds for broken bones, missing teeth, and deaths were posted on the sign above her, and half the school lined up to make bets.

"Doesn't this feel a bit unethical?" Ochako asked.

"Unethical?" Momo glanced up at the betting odds. "What do you mean? Every year around Christmas, mom and dad would make a death game in a third world country and invite all the relatives to bet on it. Last year's was about squid, for some reason, though I don't remember seeing any squid. I think they cancelled that event because everyone would've drowned."

Tsuyu hesitated, with a slim stack of yen in her hand. She tucked it back in her pocket. "This might be a bit messed up, gero." Then she reconsidered. "Twenty thousand on Mineta getting hit between the legs."

"I'm not taking wagers on that one," Momo said. "Too obvious."

"Darn, gero."

Iida walked up behind the toboggan. "Is everyone ready?"

"Yeah!"

"And have you all signed your waivers?"

"Yeah, dude, come on! Send us to the moon!"

"Alright, here we go!" Iida's thrusters lit up. His legs churned up a tsunami of snow as he pushed the toboggan forward. Once it hit the slope, Iida vaulted up and took a seat.

As they streaked down the hill, Kaminari said, "Actually, I'm starting to have second thouAAAAAH!"

The toboggan launched off the hill like a missile, flying well over U.A.'s boundary wall. As Musutafu flashed underneath them, Izuku's head popped out the front of the toboggan. "Velocity insufficient to reach the moon. Activating secondary thrusters."

"Wait, what are you-"

Everyone's face flattened from the air pressure as the Izuku toboggan blasted into the atmosphere. Everyone back at U.A. watched the bright green speck streak off into the sky.

"Well that's lame!" Mina crossed her arms. "How are we supposed to see them wipe out from here?"

Momo pulled a telescope out of her cleavage. She pointed it at the moon and watched the now-covered toboggan land safely in a crater.

"Well, looks like Nezu won his bet," Momo muttered.

Afterwards, Aizawa pushed Nezu in a wheelbarrow full of money. Nezu sipped a shot of whiskey and said, "I love humanity."
