A whole day alone with Iruma-kun…best decision she's ever made. Okay, sure they had to spend that day with Bakugo too, but a pair of earplugs would do the trick. Too bad Momo wasn't here to provide them. "Hand me your garbage now, you extras!" The boy shouted.

"Yes sir!" Iruma-kun replied without question. "Double knotted to prevent it from ripping open. Windows on the bottom floor are clear, moving up to the top!" Iruma grabbed his duster, running up the steps.

"Don't forget to wax on, wax off! I don't want smears or greasy handprints all over the glass!" The two of them were surprisingly neat freaks that worked pretty well in sync together. Maybe they had a secret future as a cleaning company.

"Just like the movie!" Oh so he watched that.

"I'm gonna go to the-"

"Bullshit, you don't get to follow him. You haven't dried up the floor after you mopped it." Oh he wanted to go, did he?

"I dried it enough! Not like anyone's going to walk in besides us…"

"Hey guys check out these tu-AAAAHHHH!" Kaminari was sent sliding straight into the kitchen, loud crashing was heard. "I'm okay! … just a knife or two …"

"Get to drying, Invisalign!" Fine, fine he's won this round.

"Can't believe you're in on this now." Toru rolled her eyes once she was sure no one else was in hearing range. "Can't believe you kept quiet about it for this long either."

"I know how to keep a secret. The reason nobody else figured it out is because they think Dodger is legitimately insane."

"Sad, but a valid point. Those bastard parents of his left a nasty mark on his head." It was for the best anyways. Better no one else learned the truth. Now she had something over Ochako and that vine bitch! She was in the lead, ladies. "So what are you going to do about it now?"

"Once this is over? Get strong enough that even an ancient self growing legacy like his can't compete with me." Like that was ever going to happen. "And once he's mastered that power of his, I'll have my rematch."

"Last I checked he has no good reason to fight."

"Then I guess it's a one sided slaughter." Damn battle fetish …

"So are you into guys or girls?"

"What the-why the fuck are you asking that?"

"Because everyone knows Tokage likes you, but you and Kirishima are pretty buddy buddy …"

"Why the fuck is it any of your buisness who I fuck?" He wasn't denying anything, but wasn't confirming anything either. He must've had practice with this.

Alright, they were back in business. Mina smiled as the class poured in, everyone this time. It wasn't the same without Iruma's naivety or Bakugo's attitude. "Welcome back, was your vacation fun?"

"It was great! Food-sama delivered a lot of food and I watched some of those movies you gave me. Apparently in space, no one can hear you scream. I'll be sure to remember that."

"You were able to watch those without getting scared for life?" Ochako said with a shiver. "I can't go to bed after watching those."

"Eh, just a movie. Nothing's more scary than real life scariness." That was both impressive and slightly disappointing. "So, what did I miss?"

"Work studies." The three turned in interest. "Basically you work as an employee to hero agencies, where they show off real hero work." Sero explained.

"Isn't that just internships?" Toru asked.

"Sort of, except it's something we do on our own time, so if you do one, you'd have to take makeup classes." Ojiro explained.

"Sounds like a lot of extra work." Iruma groaned. "I don't think I'll do this if we don't have too."

"Then you're a wimp." Bakugo called out. "If you do hero work you'll grow."

Aizawa-sensei walked through the door. "Silence." The group instantly quieted down. "He was right, worked like a charm. Anyway, there has been an … argument with the staff." He growled. "We're going to allow first years to take on Hero Work Studies if they wish. Anyone with a provisional license is allowed to participate."

Everyone tried not to look at Todoroki and Bakugo when Aizawa said that. Yeah, two of the top three have fallen from grace, there was no denying that. Until remedials were over, Iruma was technically the best out of all of them.

"To better demonstrate … We brought in the big three." The three people that Midnight talked about? The strongest students in school? Oh nice, time to meet the cool and awesome next third years!

The three walked into the door … and the black haired one turned away. "I'm sorry, I can't. They all just look like angry potatoes."

"Where!? I thought All Forty One was in jail!" Again, it was nice to have the boy's naive charm fill the room.

"No he's just super shy, he tries to think of you like food to help, even though I find it weird it works for him so I let it be." The blue haired girl began walking around. "Hey those balls are cool. Do you need to shave them when you get haircuts? Oh, do your arms all have muscles? Oh, these horns are super cute."

"OW!" She felt the tug of the only girl among the third years.

"And she's super excited don't ya know?" The blond smiled. "But don't worry, we can have plenty of fun. We're not gonna be bored-" The boy pointed at the board. "Standing here all day." Only Iruma chuckled. "Wow, tough crowd. Are you as tough as me?"

"I don't know. We just met you." Iruma stated.

"... So is insanity just natural among heroes, or do we grow into it?" Todoroki asked the obvious question.

"Oh, your scar is super scary, but also pretty cool. Do you get a lot of attention from it? If you got a cold, would your left side freeze and your right side burn up? Do you have more control over your left or your right? If you used them together, would you shoot water?"

"Uh…" She was already on the next student before Todoroki could ask

"Nejire, please stop scaring the children. You'll make them hate us more, then we'll have to go into a never ending cycle of forgiveness and spite that has us doing their taxes." He needed a hug.

"Nah, you guys are good. You seem fun and I already do my taxes just fine." Iruma replied with his usual lack of sarcasm in his tone.

"Wow, your quirk is very weird! Super strong but it breaks your bones! Shouldn't your body have adapted to it? Seems pretty messy, like it turns your arms into burnt noodles."

"I know, and they don't taste as good as I thought they would. But I've been getting better, soon I won't overcook the chicken no matter how hard I punch something."

The girl looked straight into Iruma's eyes for a solid minute before wrapping her arms around his head. "... I just met this kid, but if anything happens to him I'll kill everyone in this room and then myself." Fair assessment.

"Sorry Nejire, but I'm gonna have to disagree. After looking at these kids, the best way to show them how good a work study does for their growth, is by beating them all up with a hand behind my back!" Wait what?

"That's what Rabbit-Sama told me everyday!"

"Maybe if you win, I'll give you some Chalkolate." The boy held up a piece of chalk, once again Iruma was the only one to laugh.

"A chance to beat up a third year … I'm in." Bakugo gave a savage grin.

"I think U.A just attracts the most insane people of each generation." Ochako whispered. Yeah, that's what it sounded like. Hopefully that meant her sanity could stay intact.

"Are we really doing this?" Ojiro asked as everyone, now in the U.A gym uniforms, gathered in the TDL for the third years. "Twenty against one, even if it's a third year…" Not to brag, but they did fight villains and survive.

"Nineteen, I'm staying out of this one." Todoroki said from the side. "I don't have my license, I shouldn't participate until I'm caught up with the rest of you guys."

"Your loss, half and half." Bakugo was never one to give up a fight. "So just you beady eyes? You don't want any of your two pals to back your sorry ass up?"

"Nah, you're going to be too busy asking your friends for help when you're the first to go down!" Mirio said with enthusiasm that rivaled Mina, Toru, and Iruma combined. "So you're all pretty confident, huh? You think you'll be able to land a hit or two before you get taken out? Keep up that enthusiasm! You're going to need it!"

"You know, the last time Mirio fought the first years they all got really sad and quit school." Nejre was playing with Mina's horns once more. "So they had to replace the entire class with General kids." So an entire class got expelled while another quit!? That was horrifying!

"Don't worry, blue hair-senpai, even if I get sad, I won't quit!" Iruma chanted. "Rabbit-sama beat me up a lot and I got used to it!"

"That's the spirit kid! Pain is gain and gain is agony! So come at me with all you've got!" The older blonde just stood there with a 'come at me' sign as Iruma got into his wolf stance.

"Close combatters, get close and surround him!" Momo ordered, getting her staff ready. "Let's show him what 1-A has learned!"

"DIE!" And Bakugo went off on his own to fight the third year, like everyone expected him to do. To his credit, Suzuki actually followed. Probably taking Momo's advice and surro-nope, they went for a double attack, both hitting him head on …

And the smoke cleared to reveal the man, naked, standing there with two arms through his torso! "Wow, you guys move fast."

"WHY THE FUCK DO PEOPLE KEEP GETTING NAKED AROUND ME!?" Jiro screamed in agony.

"GHOST!" It wasn't the most out of nowhere shout Iruma has ever made.

"Oh come now, if I was a ghost I couldn't do this!" The man proceeded to start beating the two of their top students up like it was nothing. If they dodged he just flipped in mid air for a new attack. If they attack it phased through. He let out multiple fakes like eye poking as well. And somehow he added TELEPORTING into the mix for instant attacks. "POWEEEERRR!" Now the two lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Okay, the close range ones came at me first. Now bring out the strongest guys you have." No one was going to tell him that those WERE the strongest guys that they had. "Nobody? Well then I guess I'll just take out the long range fighters, thanks for organizing yourselves for me!" He fell into the ground, now gone, until they heard a scream from behind them. The massacre had begun.

"POWEEEER!"

"My eyes will never be clean …" Jiro fell to the ground and stayed there, half because the image of Miro's dong refused to leave her head, half because the pain in her back wasn't going to go away anytime soon. "Am I cursed or something? Why does this keep happening?" It wasn't even the people she WANTED to see naked. Why couldn't she have walked in on Denki or Momo while they were in the shower or something?

Speaking of, she was actually being consolidated by the latter. The former is trying to stand up. "I had it on low the whole time, how did he know the second I turned it off?"

"It was like the Sports Festival again, except he stopped me as I was planning." Momo shuddered. "He was so quick."

"He even teleported everywhere." Kirishima groaned. "What, does he have a dual quirk like Todoroki? I couldn't even touch him."

"No, he was just sinking into the ground like a whack-a-mole." Iruma said from his down position. "The fact he could breath at all was a miracle, there shouldn't be any air down there."

"That's just it, kids! I wasn't breathing!" WHAT!? "I held my breath the whole time." Thankfully he was redressed. "And just so it's clear in your heads, everything you saw was one Quirk: Permeation!"

"Yeah, it allows him to pass through pretty much every object he wants!" Nejire shouted, trying to get Tamaki out of his corner. "Everything! Light, air, sound, anything that exists basically!"

"Are you telling me I lost to a fucker that was blind, deaf, AND couldn't breath?" Bakugo growled out, clearly more unhappy about loss than he was at the injuries.

"Yep, not only that, I have to consciously think about every part of my body that passes through an object. If I want to put just my leg through, I have to think about the area that passes through first, then slowly increase the amount as I include muscle, bone, e.t.c."

"But … the amount of concentration that would require…" Iida stated the obvious.

"It's extremely hard, and before U.A, and even during it, I wasn't all that good at controlling it." Mirio kept explaining. "I was constantly getting left behind, a lot of people called my quirk weak because I would hurt myself due to my lack of control."

Everyone looked at Iruma, who stared at the senpai seriously, the parallel went unsaid.

"But with my work study, I got to work with a pro that helped me MAKE my quirk strong." He stated. "That's what hero work studies give you, experience and technique beyond what you have. Don't give up hope people! When you fall off that horse, you get right back up, and you eat that horse!" What the fuck was he on about?

"Yes Senpai! I'll be sure to eat that horse with you!" What the fuck was Suzuki on about!?

"Finally, a first year student gets it!" Miro laughed. "Sir's definitely going to get a kick out of you!"

"No fair, Mirio! You said I get first dibs on who to invite!"

"Come on Nejire, he's the spitting image of me, make an exception!"

"But I've always wanted a little brother! You can't take this away from me!"

"Little brother…?" The kid in question whispered to himself, as if he was disappointed. "I thought I was the big brother.." Todoroki did his out of place laugh, but this time Tsu joined in. Probably the first time the girl got out of her depressing funk since they moved into the dorms.

"Alright, there's only one way to settle this..one on one!" Nejire blasted her quirk at the blonde, destroying the wall behind him. "First one to hit the floor invites him to their work study!"

They turned to the silent boy, avoiding the chaos and staring at the wall. "So … is this just something that happens when you get to your third year?" She asked.

"They've always been like this…being a third year just means their power is nearly uncontainable."

"We're going to be as crazy as they are aren't we?" Iida asked as if it was a death sentence. Uraraka patted him on the back in sympathy.

"I have brought you a bird man!" Mange watched as Twice brought in some scrawny looking guy with a lot of clothes, gloves, and a metal beak on his face. "Praise me for my success!"

"Good job twice, here's a treat!" Himiko tossed over a fucking cookie to the man. "That's a good boy."

"I aim to please! Don't treat me like a dog." It actually got easy to tell what the masked man was thinking after a while.

"And here I came to believe that the League Of Villains had respect and manners." The stranger drawled. "I guess I was wrong when it comes to classless villains."

"Says the redundant criminal organization people barely remember." Dabi rolled his eyes. "When was the last time the Yakuza did anything newsworthy?"

"It's true, we are a dying breed … but our prized egg isn't out of commission is he?" The silence reigned. "A vacuum was made, and someone has to fill it."

"And you want that to be you?" Mange raised an eyebrow. "You want to take All For One's place as the next big bad of the underworld?"

"Not me per say … but the Yakuza for sure." The man explained. "A lot of people don't want to invest in us however … unless we have the League working as some underlings."

Mange was about to demolish the bastard for daring to-"What's in it for us?" Tomura cut her off. "Your Yakuza right? Scratched back for scratched back or something like that? Our name is a big deal and the quirks we carry are pretty unique to abuse." Negotiation? Never seen him go for it.

"You make a reasonable argument, glad to hear someone wants it." The man stated. "We have men, Trigger, and a new drug. The latter is a bit more hush, so you'd have to accept first."

"A lucky block …" Of course he was comparing it to a game. Tomura sat in silence for a few. "We're looking for any allies we can get, we'd be glad to have you on board." Sweet, new allies.

"Maybe now we can sleep in a bed." Compress grumbled.

"One more thing …" They blinked. He had the gall to ask for more? "We'll actually throw in some money for this one. We're looking for a kid to murder and you guys happened to take him last time. Iruma Suzuki?"

Tomura and Toga matched a murderous intent that they hid behind a disturbingly calm face. "UA installed a dorm system, it's harder to get into." Tomura spoke calmly.

"That won't be a problem. Recent intel revealed that U.A is opening up a work study program for its first years, and I have little doubt the brat won't be a part of it."

Tomura nodded calmly, idly tapping for them to keep Toga down. Spinner and Mange fulfilled it by holding onto her shoulders. "We'll look into heroes and get back to you." Looks like this kid was just a magnet for villains. "Exactly what did the kid do to earn your ire?"

"We'll talk about it later. I told the boys to break down the place if I didn't leave within the next few minutes."

Everyone stared at Twice. "We came alone, He has an army!"

"Technically both are true. It's nice to be working with villains that understand class. Meet up here." He drops a card and walks out.

A few seconds of silence pass. "Tomura …" Toga stared at her boss dead in the eye. "Are we really going to help the bastard?"

"We're working with them. That's my order." In response the girl brandished a knife.

"Give me one good reason to follow that order."

"I can't." Everyone stared confused. "We are after freedom, so whatever you want, regardless of what I say …" He stared her in the eye. "Never forget that, alright?"

"Freedom….to love who I want….how I want…" Toga sighed. "Fine, but the moment they hurt Iruma-kins, I'm slitting all their throats and making everything they have crumble to the ground."

"Maybe not everything." The man smirked. "We can't quite rob a grave if there's nothing of value left." The man was playing a dangerous game. And Mange, who didn't even know how close to death they were that night, was loving every second of it.
