"THANK YOU!" Iruma-kun cried out to her, devouring her rations in seconds.

"You obviously need it more than me. Who cares if you hit a child through a window."

"I'm only giving Iruma food because it was in self defense and he is seriously malnourished. The concept of hitting a kid should never be rewarded." Iida stated.

"I disagree. More kids should get hit." Bakugo rolled his eyes, putting ungodly amounts of spice and hot sauce all over his food. "Otherwise they'll grow up to be big pains in the ass."

"So you." Bakugo looked two seconds away from killing Sero on the spot. "So you really interned in the forest for a whole week?"

"We survived, not interned, with a clear difference." Kaminari spoke. "Iruma actually got a head start on the lesson."

"I lived in forests, deserts, tundras, pretty much anyplace that's not inhabited by people for months at a time. I actually went eight months one time not seeing another person's face." Cue the worried looks for his safety and health. "The trick is to see everything around you as a tool. Vines are ropes, bandages, and food all in one."

"So many purposes …" Ibara looked at her hair. "Truly giving guiding light to those in development." She bowed to him. "Teach me, oh blessed one. I humbly await your tutelage." The bitch was never going to leave at this rate. Now she had to worry about that and add both Manadaly and the little bastard to the list.

"So are there any positives to being here?" Ashido asked.

"Hmm …" Kaminari was tapped on the shoulder. Koda, now safe, returned to his shy sign language. "Oh right, the hot springs." They had hot springs? "Just entering those makes any injury feel almost nonexistent." They had hotsprings…that required everyone to strip off all their clothes…Iruma-kun would be naked…..there was a little piece of heaven in this hell.

Koda missed this part, and only this part, sitting back and letting the waters rush over his body, sores melting into sleep for later. Seemed everyone else was mostly enjoying it too. "Sorry Iida, I really wish you could get in." Iruma spoke to the guy with mechanical engine legs.

"It's fine, as long as I have warm water to place on myself and company, it will be like I'm right there with you." This guy was such a mixed bag of responsibility, reasonability, and insanity. One moment he's upholding the rules by the letter, the next he's planning murder.

"Yeah, this might've actually made this whole trip worth it." Kaminari soaked himself almost head deep. "Almost, they're going to put us through hell tomorrow, no doubt about it."

"It'll probably be worse." They turned to Shoji. "They also have Aizawa, who as I recall, was violently electrocuted by us …"

"Hey what's worse than hell?" Todoroki asked.

"Tartarus?" Sero asked.

"Hades? Sato questioned.

"The Netherworld." Tokoyami started as if it was fact.

"Going hungry in the middle of nowhere." Iruma once again provided real life examples from his horrible life.

"We're talking about the afterlife, but that's still pretty sad." Kaminari looked curious. "Speaking of, what gods do you pray to, considering how bad off your life is."

"Oh, I don't believe in that stuff." That … was honestly a bit surprising.

"Really?" Even Iida found himself surprised by Iruma's response. "I didn't take you for an atheist." For someone so happy most of the time, he didn't expect him to believe in something that sounded so depressing.

"There's no afterlife, that's what makes life precious." Aww, that was a pretty sweet way to view the void. "Besides, I haven't seen a quirk summon a soul … other than Dark Shadow?" They turned to Tokoyami.

"We…try not to think about it too much. That's a level of darkness I fear we might not be prepared to handle." The raven student sighed. "Demons are indeed real though. Not certain about heaven and angels, but demons definitely exist." Suuure they did, buddy.

"You can have your gods … there is one thing that is truly worth worship." They all turned to Mineta, looking at the great wall. "The woman's body."

"Mineta, don't you dare think about it!" Iida attempted to chastise, though he couldn't do much as due to the water. "We're aiming to be heroes, not hooligans!"

"Naive fools … walls exist … because they were meant to be climbed!" Mineta shouted to the heavens.

"I thought they existed because they were built." Iruma spoke naively.

"You poor, young soul, too naive to understand the opportunities in front of you." Mineta began taking one of his head balls. "I shall gaze twice as hard in your stead." He started climbing, only for Kaminari to tackle him back in the water.

"Heck no man, you are not looking!"

"What happened to bros before hoes!?"

"That ended when you decided to peep at Yaomomo! You're not going to see anything!"

"I've been watching from the sidelines far enough! I deserve this!" The two of them began rolling in the water. "You have that breasted beauty all to yourself! Learn to share the peeping!"

"That's it! 1.3 MILLION VOLTS!" Wait, weren't they all in the water…

ZAP! It didn't help that Bakugo was in the water too.

BOOM!

The 1-A girls stared at the smoke almost nonchalantly, the 1-B girls stared in horror. "Weird, Bakugo didn't scream this time." Tsu deadpanned. "Usually he would shout 'die' about three times right about now." Maybe he was finally showing some restraint.

"So we're not going to wonder if anybody over there has died?" Kendo asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You've seen the sports festival. If they can survive that, they can survive anything." Ashido waved off. "At least within reason, at most they'll just be injured."

"I miss the days when we didn't expect stuff like this." Momo rubbed her forehead. "On the bright side, we don't have to worry about Mineta peeping on us for the rest of the night."

"Amen." They girls clapped simultaneously.

"Do you guys have any perverts in 1-B?" Ochako asked the group.

"Other than Tsubaraba, just Kodai." Setsuna pointed at the girl, looking away with a blush. "Come on, it's a bath, nothing you can't look at."

"..." The girl made no response, other than stepping into the water and facing away from everyone else. Shy type, huh?

"Kaminari used to be a pervert, but since Momo got her finger on him he's been super shy about it." Ashido grinned.

"Oh, give Denki more credibility than that, he's been nothing but a gentleman since we've gotten together."

"Exactly, you little mistress you." The two girls started to wrestle as Tsu sighed. She really hoped less romance would be on the mind this camping trip. Maybe that was too much to ask for with hormonal teenagers. "So, any couples in your class yet I can endlessly tease?"

"I think Juzo has something going on, but he's hush hush." Setsuna laid back in the water. "Then again there is that weird tension between Kendo and Tetsutetsu." Said girl sputtered.

"What, I, there is no tension!"

"Oh yeah, you totally don't stare at his abs whenever he's in his hero costume, or at his butt whenever you're behind him."

"Whatever, I'm not trying to flirt with a walking trash fire that barely remembers my face." Kendo snapped back, and Setsuna looked a bit bitter at that.

"Hey." Ashido teased. "Worst case scenario you can get Kirishima to come in, they're so alike it'd be like dating the same guy twice."

"Dating the same guy … nope, not falling into that. I don't need to be thinking about boys while your teacher tries to torture us." Kendo reasoned. "Also keeping the class in line."

"Don't be like that, I need some variety to live vicariously through, the drama between Ochako, Toru and Iruma can only sustain me for so long."

"You could also, you know, not talk about romance for five minutes and be an average girl instead of someone driven off hormones that drives everyone insane until they decide to take a knife and …" She stopped, realizing everyone was staring at her, letting out an embarrassing croak.

"Okay, no more romance talk, got it." Ashido slowly backed away. Shit, now she was scared of her. She should've kept her mouth shut. "For a second, you almost sounded like Toru."

"Yeah, speaking of which, where is she?" Jiro asked. "I don't think she's said anything the whole time."

"Yeah, I didn't even see…her…enter the water…" Ochako slowly realized what all the class 1-A girls did. "Toru, you pervert!" Tsu wouldn't be dating until after graduation. That seemed like the sanest option she could make at the moment.

Kota kicked a rock, growling. "Who gives a crap about those bastards?" He wasn't mad about the kick, it was reflex. He was mad they wanted to be some dumbass heroes. The dumbest and stupidest jobs on the planet!

"Wait, who are you talking about? I'm pretty sure most of the class have their dad's, then again I don't know much about 1-B. Would Ibara know about that?" A new voice came, and sure enough, it was that guy that kicked him.

"What the-What the heck are you doing here?!" He yelled. The last thing he wanted to do was be around one of these idiots.

"I was looking for the dorm rooms. Are they around here somewhere?" The boy looked genuinely confused.

"THEY WERE BACK INSIDE!" He shouted. "What made you think they were in the forest!?"

"I sleep outside all the time, I've never camped with other people before." The boy explained. "I don't know how the rules work here." He looked out at the forest. "Great view though. Away from all the wild animals too."

"It's my secret place that no one else is supposed to know about." He angrily stated. "So go away!"

"Oh, sorry, didn't mean to come here." He looked like he was about to walk away. Good, he could get some quiet. "Ah, sorry about the kick. I just, really didn't want to get hit there."

"It's fine." He rolled his eyes. "You and your class want to be heroes and I hate that. I would've done it to someone else if you didn't get in the way."

"Oh, you hate heroes too?" Huh? "I seem to meet a lot of people who do lately. Weird."

"Good." He growled. "Glad I'm not the only one in the world who isn't an idiot."

"Why do you hate heroes? Is it because they help people?" What the …

"No, why would I do that?"

"The last guy who hated heroes said that, but he seemed really confused, so I talked with him a lot about it." He had no idea what to say to that. "After that, he said he was going to make people forget about heroes in general, but he was happy about it, so I guess it all worked out."

"That sounds great." He responded. "Heroes, Villains, it doesn't matter what you call it, you're just people who fight each other until you die, and everyone celebrates it afterwards. It's so stupid."

"Well that's not true." He scoffed at the comment. "Who would celebrate death, that's moronic. Death is forever, and should be avoided."

Finally, he met someone that wasn't thinking like an idiot. "Yeah, yet everyone I meet keeps telling me 'oh, they died for a good cause', 'they died saving this person', and, 'they died giving everything'! Who are they to say death is good!? I don't want them dead!" Kota found himself crying.

"... I don't think they're celebrating them dying … I think they're just liking the fact they died doing something they liked." Kota blinked, turning to him. "Imagine if you died doing something you hated, that would be terrible. Like taxes, or working out."

"If that's the case, then why did they leave me?" Kota shook his head. "Did my mom and dad like being heroes more than they loved me?"

"Maybe they couldn't run away … I've seen it happen to rabbits in the woods, caught by wolves. Sometimes the bad guy is just too strong."

"Then they shouldn't have been heroes if they weren't strong enough." Kota kept looking out at the forest. "Stupid, all this fighting is just stupid."

"Yeah, it is a little. And I didn't even want to be a hero about a year ago." ..That was something he didn't expect to hear. "Bunny-sensei asked me to be one, but he says it might've been a mistake."

"Then why are you still here?" Kota asked him.

"Because….because I've met so many fun and nice people since I've started, and the fact they support me, the fact they're nice to me, nicer than anyone else I've met, that I feel happy for the first time in my life." He turned his head, watching the boy smile. "Well I better head back, I'm gonna go train and stuff. See ya." He waved, making his way down the mountain.

Kota watched the boy leave, tears in his eyes. Why the hell did getting himself killed fighting others make him happy?

"Wow, so many futons." Iruma looked around at all of the beds. "Usually it's bunk beds whenever I'm on boats." It was always gray there though, here they had so much color! "So we don't have to sleep outside during camp?"

"Revelry in the Dark." Tokoyami said his usual phrase. "Best to not question it. I doubt we'll be getting much rest once the sun rises tomorrow." Oh yeah, bright and early camp activities.

"What do people usually do in camps together?" He asked. "Hunt for food, learn how to swim, beat up gorillas?"

"Well, we're not going to be hunting, I can assure you of that." Kaminari said, getting on his own bunk. "The last two might actually happen, but in a normal camping trip, you mainly sit by a campfire cooking hotdogs, smores and tell ghost stories, that sort of thing."

"I see." Shoto looked around, before finding a table, lighting his left hand on fire. "I'll start the fire, someone else is on smores duty."

"You're going to be charged with arson one of these days." Ojiro rolled his eyes, using his tail to stop shoto's hand. "Let's try that for the next night, and we already got a ghost story from Tsu. Now we should probably just head to sleep and rest for the day."

"Indeed, let us properly recharge ourselves and prepare for a full day of training." Iida instructed as everyone got into the beds.

"Sleeping on a bed while camping, I never thought it was possible." He climbed on the bed, his OWN bed! That was amazing. "I'd never thought I'd be here with anything like this a year ago. At most, I expected my parents to send me on another fishing boat for another three months."

"Suzuki, we really worry." Aoyama looked guilty for some reason.

"It's not your fault I have bad parents. It's your fault I have friends." He smiled at their locked faces before hitting the ground. "Night." He spoke, before passing right out. Surviving took a lot out of a person.
