"Why are there no mushrooms inside of these cupcakes?" Itsuka was sitting next to Iida, watching the chaos of the classes in question.

"I don't usually add it to my sweets, but I'll be sure to take note of that next time." Sato said to Kinoko as the big guy handed them off to everyone.

"Oh, my angel, I'm satisfied to see your illuminent light has returned to your face once more." Ibara returned to her usually religious crazy love struck phase the moment she saw that Suzuki wasn't upset.

"Wait, I thought Aoyama was the sparkly one? Do I sparkle too?" Said child spoke obliviously. "Aoyama, you taught me how to sparkle without trying!"

"Even if we're rivals, I'm happy to lend a hand." The French(?) student bowed, and she wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic.

"So tall, blonde, and explosive, miss me?" Setsuna made her way to Bakugo to restart the abomination she called flirting. "I see you look as angry as ever. Certainly hope all these months apart haven't made you lose your edge~."

"You're the chick that can make things grow right?" She had never seen Setsuna lose her edge so fast, and that alone made her wish she charged her phone this morning. She'd have to ask Manga for a copy later.

"So sad, looking at all you pathetic losers, a full five on remedial." Monoma posed. "Did you know that only one member of 1-B failed their exam?"

"Oh, so you're the biggest loser among the b-listers, Beta-copy?" Bakugo snarked, guessing correctly. Again, she wished she had her phone. The prick remembered Monoma but not Setsuna? That would hurt anyone's pride, no matter who they were.

"Honestly he's more like a Beta you with all that Ego." Uraraka called out.

"Aren't you supposed to be gushing about your crush or something Round Cheeks?"

"Her-what now?" Suzuki tilted his head.

"Nothing important, Iruma-kun, nothing you never, ever, EVER have to acknowledge."

"If it makes you feel any better." She told the twitching boy. "Being president doesn't help in the slightest."

"It does not, but the sentiment is appreciated." Iida turned his head, noticing the teachers. "Everyone! The teachers are arriving, let us work out a seating chart so we may-"

"Don't care, let's hurry up and get everyone on board." Aizawa spoke, getting on the bus, before plopping into a sleeping bag.

"I should've taken Suzuki's offer for vice presidency." Now the engine boy looked dead on the inside. The almost day long drive with his classmates probably wouldn't help with that.


Many conversations went on inside of the bus. Tsu and Tokoyami spoke casually, Kirishima was excitedly chatting with Ashido about the courage test, Kaminari and Yaoyorozu read, Jiro listened to music, Iruma talked with Iida about trying to keep people sane.

She? Was working on a different factor. "The main problem isn't the popularity you see." She explained to Todoroki. "It's the bulk, it makes removing the body more difficult since it's harder to cut away and even burn through."

"It's a good thing he's already fireproof." They chatted about how to dispose of large men with plenty of power (both political and literal) and popularity. "Never thought All Might could be as deplorable as my father, but that's the sad reality we live in now."

"Is he seriously that bad?" She asked. "Last I checked he was the brightest thing in Iruma-kun's life."

"He might've helped in a few areas, but he still took advantage of Iruma's conditioning. Who's to say this wasn't the first time?" Todoroki growled. "You're lucky you didn't see the pain he was in trying to fight it. I thought his head was going to blow off his body, and that's not mentioning the vomit."

Yeah that would do it. "Now here comes the real tough part, getting the drop on him." She flipped to 'situational awareness'. "The more likely you are to be murdered in your sleep, the harder it is to actually do it. Pretty sure Aizawa is nigh omniscient of the area around him at all times, even without being conscious."

"I feel like that's something Iruma would know more about than you. How are you so aware of this?"

"How do you think I got all of this information? I watch him while he sleeps sometimes."

He blinked before looking at her. "If you weren't so desperately trying to get him to kiss you, i'd suspect you of trying to murder him." That was fair. "Honestly we might need to bring in one of the plans I used to have for my dad."

"How many did you have?"

"I lost track after thirty two. Anything after that mainly involved waiting for a rainstorm and attacking him from behind with something sharp and spiky."

"I don't think rain will work here. The fact that he's never been in a pinch is actually the more challenging aspect. Even if you directly countered his strength he'd still have enough to overcome it." Truly a tough enigma. "Maybe poison?"

"Attack him from within seems like the only viable choice. The man has never lost a fight, so that could work." It was the weirdest but important things in life that brought friends closer together. "It seemed to work on Aoyama after all." Oh yeah, he was looking bad.


Sero watches the guy barff into a bag, courtesy of Yaoyorozu. "Thank you … mademoiselle."

"Of course, just let me know if you need another." The creation user smiled. "I didn't know you got motion sickness, though since your quirk upsets your stomach, I probably should've guessed."

"It might have been himself looking at the mirror." Tsu added into the conversation. "It happened to my little brother once when they played a car game."

"Mirrors can make you sick?" Iruma asked. "Then why do people make them?"

"It's not the mirror itself, it's the fact he's doing it while on a crowded bus." Uraraka explained. "Looks like all that vanity finally bit him in the butt." The girl really was becoming a sadist if that laughter was anything to go by.

"It is … the burden I must … bear-" He held a hand on his face, keeping it at bay. Poor dude.

"Do we have medicine or something?" He looked at Aizawa, who shook his head while sleeping. "We do not."

"Hold on, let me check something." Kirishima was typing something on his phone. "There's actually a few ways to get rid of it. There's a pressure point that can relieve the pain if pressed right."

"I suppose I'll do it since it's my seat he's laying down on." Todoroki volunteered himself, approaching…and then suddenly turning away. "I shouldn't. I'm the bone crusher, I might break his back if I try."

Iida, of all people, actually laughed. "Todoroki, you should really try to let it go."

"Yeah, it's only true if it's three times in a row." Suzuki spoke up.

"Didn't you break ten fingers?" He recalled.

"It's too late for me already then. I'm cursed." Todoroki summarized, and Iida once again started laughing. Looks like Iida really did lose his sanity. The price of vengeance he guessed.

"Hey Bakugo." Kaminari smirked with humor. "Looks like someone in this class does more damage than you."

"Is that a challenge, dunceface?" The boy started to spark with a pissed off expression.

"Okay, pressure points are a no go, got it." Kirishima scrolled through his phone. "It says distracting him might also help."

"Oh, I've got a story we can use!" Mineta shouted out, everyone groaning. "What, you just automatically assume it's a bad story?"

"It's a perverted story." Most of the girls spoke in unison.

"It's a good one!" He argued. "So, it starts with me walking into an alley …"


"Next thing I know he's a best seller, I have a copy of his novel back at my house." Everyone was watching in stunned silence.

"... That was the sweetest erotica I've ever heard … so much fluff … how?" Jiro looked broken, not in a depressed way, but more she couldn't process it. Aoyama had to admit he was a bit enthralled by the tale, but he couldn't express his gratitude for it due to the stomach pain.

"Hey, you judge a book by it's cover." Mineta shrugged at them a bit smugly. "Do that and you'll never know what you'll miss out on."

"Good story, but doesn't change the fact that you're a pervert. So don't get the wrong idea." Tsuyu stated bluntly.

"Never said I wasn't." The boy shrugged.

"Can I read with you later? I wanna know if the widow got her happy ending." Suzuki asked with sparkly eyes.

"Sure thing, along with any ladies?" They left him in silence. "Worth a shot. Who's next on the storyboard?"

"I've got one." They all turned to Tsu. "When I was a toddler there was this girl in the woods. She begged me and my sister to play with her. My sister left, but I felt I had no reason to say no, so I did. We spent hours outside, and even as the sun started to set, we still stayed out, no matter how much I tried to convince her to stop, even when my sister went back. When it got dark, she took me to an open field full of fireflies that lit up the sky almost as brightly as the stars."

Everyone was enraptured, staring at Tsu in silence as she went on, an unknown chill filling the room. "Eventually my sister and cousin found me in the area, and I tried to introduce them to the girl, but she suddenly vanished. Even weirder, my sister didn't remember ever meeting the girl at all."

"Did … did you ever find her?" Kaminari asked quietly.

"Nope, although there have been reports of kids vanishing near the mountain, all being last seen playing with a girl." Holy fuck.

"I think my heart skipped a beat." Dark Shadow bluntly stated. That was just so, so, so very wrong.

"So you were either dealing with a vengeful spirit or serial killer with a ghost-like quirk." Yaoyoruzo shuddered, exasperated, along with the rest of the girls."

"Hey, did she have gray hair and eyes that sparkled, along with this strange group of freckles next to her ear?" The class had a beat of silence.

"Iruma, so help me if you actually met this child napper, I plan on keeping you in a cage for your own protection." Uraraka chastised the boy.

"I…I have no comment." That was all the frog girl had to say about that. "I'm starting to see why people find the story scary now. I thought it was just something weird that happened to me."

"Pit stop, everyone off the bus." Aizawa stood up as the bus halted.

The rest of the students followed. "Thank you Tsu, your story helped." He smiled at the girl.

"No problem. I am here to help all my friends." Yes, such a kind term, one that didn't belong to someone as despicable as himself.


"So why did we stop?" The cowlick kid asked the group, standing within the two classes. "I don't see any leaks on the bus."

"Maybe it's a mechanical error? Did your engine stall?" Ponytail asked.

"Maybe there's a bathroom nearby?" A wavy haired kid asked. "I know I've gotta go soon."

"Does anyone have any food? I'm starving."

"Iruma got into our supply batch, we're out."

"We really should've known better than to leave any kind of food around him."

Time for a little introduction. "I'm Pixi-bob!"

"And I'm Mandalay!"

"And we're …" Pose time. "The wild wild pussycats!"

"Ahhhh!" Would you look at that, they had two familiar kittens returning for round two of training. "Run, run, run!" Kaminari feebly tried to warn the class.

Koda took the saner option, abandoning his friends as he dove off the cliff into his forest, the only chance of survival.

"Aww, didn't you miss us?" Pixie-bob patted the boy. "And here I thought you brought some cute boys for another cuddle pile ya stud."

"Stay away!" The rocky boy actually shouted from down the cliff. Wow, he got over that shyness, guess that meant they had to tune his training from eleven to twenty.

"Did she call you … stud?"

"And said you were in a … cuddle pile?"

Two girls glared at Kaminari and herself with a surprisingly dark aura for their age. "Don't trust a word this woman says! Everything we did during the internships was pure torture! By cuddle pile, she means the dozens of rock golems she buried us under!"

"Hey, don't give away too much! We need to keep some surprises." Pixie-bob placed her hands on the ground. "After all, you can't expect to be prepared for everything!" The ground started to rumble.

"Oh, one more thing." Mandalay added in helpfully. "If you don't make it to the camp by noon, no lunch." Apparently there were two smart children, as the cowlick kid charged some surprisingly strong calves as he jumped off the cliff.

"I do love a man who keeps his priorities in order." She giggled, and she suddenly felt three more murderous auras coming from the two classes. Impressive stuff. "Oh, in case you haven't figured it out yet, your training camp has already started." The sounds of the kids being launched in the air just filled her with so much joy.
