"Everyone," cried Ashido. "I'm looking forward - hi - to a bunch of….awesome stories from the trip!"
"Just hold on, now," said Midoriya. "There could still be some twist to this!"
"Don't say that, Midoriya," said Sero. "You're gonna jinx it."
"Failing our exams means summer school hell instead of training camp in the woods!" cried Kaminari. "And we flunked the practical. The only twist would be if your average scores were less than a monkey's." As he ranted, he stuck his fingers into poor Midoriya's eyes.
"Calm down, your talking too much," Sero rebuked him. "I'm in the same boat anyway. I got put to sleep and only cleared thanks to Mineta. So until we know how they're actually grading this thing…"
"Save your pity!" Kaminari spat back. "I just want your points."
The door slammed open. "That's the bell," said Sensei as we all hustled to sit down. "Be seated."
We all plopped down, the four of us trying not to sink into total despair.
"Morning," said Sensei. "About your final exams. Sadly we had some failures. As such, you're all going to summer training camp!"
IT'S A LAST MINUTE TWIST! The four failures cried out mentally together.
"Everyone cleared the written tests," Sensei continued. "But in the practical, Kirishima, Kaminari, Ashido, Sato and Sero all failed."
"Wait, we're really allowed to go?" cried Kirishima.
Sensei continued, "As the villains in the test, we teachers came up with assignments perfectly suited to all of you. Ones that would give you chances to devise winning. If we hadn't, none of you would've stood a chance."
"So when you said you were really going to crush us," said Ojiro.
"That was to push you," said Sensei. We are talking about training camp after all. More than anyone else, those who failed need that the most. This was another rational deception."
All five of them jumped for joy and pumped our fists in the air. I couldn't help it; I jumped to my feet. "But now that we've been lied to twice, aren't you worried that our faith in you has been shaken?"
"Way to be a wet blanket, Iida," joked Uraraka.
"Perhaps. But consider the facts. It wasn't entirely a lie. Failure is still failure. You five will receive special supplemental lessons. And to be honest, they'll be far worse than summer school." We all felt our spirits falling apart again. "Anyway, I'll be handing out camp manuals. Take one and pass it back."
Once class was out, we all gathered around to look over the camp manuals.
"Well, whatever the case," said Ojiro. "It's nice that everyone gets to go."
"An entire week of training camp!" I cried.
"The packing list is huge," uttered Midoriya.
"I don't even have a bathing suit. There's a ton of stuff I've got to buy," said Kaminari.
"OH, I know!" cried Hagakure. "We're off tomorrow and tests are over, so how about we all go shopping together, Class A?"
"Good idea!" cried Kaminari, as I nodded, excited at this prospect. "This'll be a first, come to think of it!"
"Hey, you come too Bakugou!" said Kirishima, since our class's resident powder keg had already started stamping towards the door.
"No way in hell. What a waste of time."
Todoroki didn't come either, but the rest of us went together to the happiest place in the world.
Ashido fist-pumped as all 18 of us gathered together. "So now we're here!" she cried. "This place has more shops than anywhere else in the prefecture. It's got the coolest and trendiest stuff! The Kiyashi ward shopping mall!"
Everyone was chatting. A group of customers saw us and waved. "Oh! Aren't they those UA first years? Good going at the Sports Festival!"
"Whoa, people still remember that?" asked Uraraka.
"I need to get new shoes," said Kaminari.
I cried "Our manual says our shoes should already be broken in, though! But wait - perhaps it was a mistake not to factor utility into the equation.."
"Looks like we all need different stuff. Let's split up and meet back at a designated time!" cried Kirishima.
I left with Kaminari, AShido and Hagakure to go shoe shopping, and we had a good time for quite a while.
Then we got the phone call.
While we were shopping, Midoriya had been cornered by a stranger in a hoodie. Who turned out to be none other than the leader of the League of Villains - Tomura Shigaraki.
Him and Uraraka had gotten away ok, but there was a huge uproar. For the second time, someone in our class had been attacked by a super villain.
We were all quite worried, but Midoriya kept his cool and didn't say much about what happened. We were all left to wonder and worry. What had been meant as a fun outing ended up with nothing but worry.
Maybe we should've seen it coming, but how were we supposed to know?
