Here it is, the thirty-sixth full chapter of Miraculous Quirks released a day early due to potential WiFi problems as the one guaranteed per week and the second to be released at GMT not EST. This is the second in a mini three chapter arc between the finals and the Summer Camp and this one will focus on an anime exclusive episode with a little twist that Marinette and Adrien always bring to the situation now that they are part of Class 1-A. However, that is all the administrative stuff I have for now though and as there are no questions or guest reviews from the last chapter to address here, though do keep the reviews coming as I enjoy hearing from y'all, I will leave this pre chapter note off here. That means that it is time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the 36th full chapter of Miraculous Quirks.

Disclaimer: I do not own either of these great works of fiction.

Chapter 36: Pre Summer-Camp Fun

"Lastly there are the two French exchange students." Aizawa said to Vlad as he neared the end of his class's Quirks recap for the other first year homeroom teacher that they were going over to prepare for the upcoming training camp in the woods. "They're why I have 22 and why we're offering 2 transfer spots to General Studies students this year, if they can pass the test that is."

"Yes I've already spoken with the other teachers and there is one guaranteed to get a tryout when we hold them and there a few potential ones for the second tryout spot." Vlad said. "Useful when we have those spots."

"It is but back to the French students and first up is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Quirk: Lucky Charm." Aizawa said moving it along. "She can create a single item to accomplish whatever task she has in her mind at the time and if she doesn't know how to use the item at first she will be shown how to use it apparently. It is still unclear why the item always has a pattern that matches her clothing at the time though."

"I remember her, she's the one who made that impression in the semifinals." Vlad said recalling it. "And her reports from Francois Dupont say that she's a natural leader."

"She may be, time will tell on that front." Aizawa said. "Lastly there is Adrien Agreste, Quirk: Cataclysm. He can create a black energy in his hands that will destroy any inorganic solid or liquid on contact at a molecular level. Both French students have Quirks that require food to recharge them after use."

"That Quirk of Agreste's sounds like another we know." Vlad said looking up from the notes on the students and at his colleague.

"It is similar in concept to what we are calling Decay, the Quirk of Tomura Shigaraki, the leader of the League of Villains but there are fundamentally difference." Aizawa said. "The energy that Agreste produces, and cost requirements are very different to Shigaraki who's Quirk is in his hands and seems to require all 5 fingers to make contact to work. Also, Agreste's destroys while Shigaraki's seems to speed up decay hence the name we've given it. That said, the similarities are useful for us and Agreste has agreed to help should we need it as he gives us a sense of what we are up against with Shigaraki."

"I see, that is good." Vlad said.

"Anyway, let's go over Class B's Quirks now." Aizawa said.

"Right." Vlad said but before he could the door opened and in walked Kaminari, Mineta and Midoriya.


As Midoriya, Kaminari and Mineta were approaching the teacher's lounge to confirm that they had permission, Adrien and Marinette were walking up the path to the school. Marinette was joining the girls in a fun pool day; she'd even brought a cute bikini for she'd personally made for the occasion.

Due to the Summer Camp coming up, they couldn't travel so it was best and cheapest to hang out at the school's outdoor pool to get some summer fun together. Meanwhile, Adrien was going to use the school's facilities to work out and do some Quirk training. At least that was the plan until Adrien suddenly got a text.

Fishing his phone out of his pocket, Adrien checked it and saw that it was a text from Midoriya. That was interesting, he wondered what his friend wanted and saw that it was a group text to all the guys in their class.

Guys, Mineta and Kaminari came round my place earlier to suggest we use the outdoor pool for some endurance training. It's a great idea for training and as it's at school we can use our Quirks so if you're around come on by. Uraraka says the girls already have plans so it will be just us guys training together.

"Marinette, what were your plans again?" Adrien asked getting a sinking feeling in his gut as he reread the message, focusing on the two names mentioned at the start. "And did they, perchance, happen to have anything to do with the pool."

"Yeah the girls are going to hang out and goof around by the pool today to enjoy some summer fun." Marinette said surprised. "As the weather is nice we're using the outdoor one. Toru suggested it because we can't go abroad or anything and Mina wanted to show off her cute new outfits to us so Momo put the request in. Plus, it's free so Ochaco can join as well. Why?"

"Did you make these plans after exams at Yaoyorozu's desk?" Adrien asked continuing his question and remembering the girls having a conference there sometime before the end of the semester.

"Yeah we did." Marinette said recalling it. "It was just where we gathered at the time."

"That explains it all." Adrien said with a sigh as everything fell into place. "Mineta overheard you."

"He did?" Marinette asked confused. "And how do you know?"

"Because Midoriya just texted the guys in the class and said that Kaminari and Mineta had booked the pool for some endurance training so we should all join them, the guys that is as Uraraka told him that the girls are doing their own thing today." Adrien said. "Seeing as the girls are going to the pool today I figured that this wasn't a coincidence."

"No, no it isn't." Marinette growled pulling out her own. "That little pervert. Thanks for the heads up, I'll let the girls know to wait for me in the changing room. I take it you're going to the pool now."

"No reason not to as some of the other guys are already confirming that they'll be there." Adrien said as a grin formed on his face as Marinette quickly texted the girls. "Besides, someone has to make sure those two do actual endurance training."

"I love you." Marinette said smiling at her boyfriend as they reached the changing rooms, and she gave him a quick, chaste kiss. "See you at the pool then, I'll be having fun while you work out. Don't worry, I'll only stare at you."

"I know, same m'lady." Adrien said as they broke apart to go into the separate changing rooms and get ready.

Marinette walked in to see that she was the last one to arrive but that was expected as she did have to travel the furthest. Thankfully the other girls had all waited confused by her message to wait for her and not go out yet. Most were mid changing when she arrived with only Mina in her bikini, a really cute white number that surprised Marinette as she was expecting black, but the white really worked for her.

"Marinette, what's up?" Momo asked as she closed the door and went to a locker to put her bag in it. "Why are we waiting?"

"Because I got word from Midoriya, via Adrien as he was who Midoriya messaged, that Kaminari and Mineta booked the outdoor pool for today as well." Marinette said pulling out her school swimsuit that she'd brough just in case, it was a simple one-piece item that went to her knees so not sexy at all. "Mineta overheard us the other day."

"That lecherous little pervert, this time I'm definitely going to melt him." Mina said stomping her foot in frustration. "I have this really cute bikini and now I can't wear it because I refuse to give him the satisfaction."

"It is really cute Mina but alas only we get to see it." Marinette said as she began to change, the other girls now following suit with their school costumes. "Sorry."

"Not your fault and thank your man for helping us." Mina said changing without any shame before them. "We're still having fun and that's what matters."

"Thank him yourself, he'll be at the pool." Marinette said with a grin as she took her bra off. "Turns out Mineta or Kaminari made the request for endurance training and decided to rope Midoriya in likely because he'd be good cover and Midoriya texted the other guys to come and train so Adrien's going to make sure that those two stick to what they signed up for."

"Good, they deserve it." Jiro said with a chuckle at the idea of Kaminari doing endurance training with Agreste, he'd die given the French boy's stamina.

"Deku's going to be there?" Ochaco asked turning to face her locker as she pulled out her school swimsuit as she went bright red at the thought of Deku there in nothing but the tight men's swimsuit. "Training?"

"Why yes he will be." Marinette said with a grin as she got naked and began pulling her costume on before encountering an internal debate as she reached her waist. "As will most of the guys I think."

"Well serves them right." Momo said as she finished getting ready. "Midoriya really helped there even if he didn't realize it."

"Yeah I don't want that creep looking at me in my new bikini." Toru said pulling on her floating costume. "And we can still have fun while the guys sweat."

"It will be amusing seeing Kaminari's face when he realizes he's failed this time." Jiro said with a snicker. "Thanks Marinette."

"No worries." Marinette said as she decided to remove her backup piercing and placed it on top of her clothes in her locker before pulling up the rest of her costume to cover herself. "Ready ladies? We can still have fun today even if it's in these."

"I find this more practical anyway, ribbit." Tsu said. "So, I don't mind at all."

"Yes let's have some fun." Momo said as they headed out and to the pool.

It didn't take long to reach it and they were surprised by two thirds of the male contingent of their class. Only the two tricksters, Midoriya, Bakugo and Kirishima weren't there yet. The rest were out in their outfits, buff chest visible, stretching and getting ready.

"Ah ladies, are you joining us in endurance training?" Ida asked as he was giving instructions to the boys.

"No Ida, we booked the pool for some fun." Momo said. "But we should stretch ladies."

"Good idea." Ida said turning back to the boys. "Alright boys, it's just us so limber up as we wait for the credits to our class who suggested this."

At that Marinette looked to Adrien who winked at her and that told her everything. Adrien had likely made some suggestion to Ida that Kaminari and Mineta were going to really regret. This was going to be fun.


As all this was happening, Mineta and Kaminari were grinning in the boys changing room. They'd gotten here after the rest of the class had already changed and headed out, so they didn't know the plan was already ruined. They thought that they'd gotten away with it and using Midoriya as a smokescreen to get permission was pure genius. Everything was coming up for them again just as it had with the cheerleader outfits at the Sports Festival

"Kaminari, it's time." Mineta said already fantasizing about how each of the girls would look in their swimsuits, all but Tsu in bikinis in Mineta's mind. "Let's go see our babes in their bikinis."

"All this has worked out just as we planned it." Kaminari said open about it as Midoriya had already left to stretch. "We will get to see them all in skimpy outfits and see that little piercing that Dupain-Cheng has again."

"To paradise." Mineta said pointing and they ran out of the changing room.

They were so eager that they ran down the corridor towards the light ready to see the girls in their bikinis or a fitting one piece for Tsu. However, the first thing they saw was Ida in his trunks, a swim cap and googles smiling at them.

"Ah glad you two could join us." Ida said with a grin as Kaminari and Mineta crashed to the ground and slid past him.

"What?" Mineta said confused.

"Oh yeah I texted the guys about this." Midoriya said. "I figured we could all use the training."

This wasn't good and a quick glance showed the rest of the male contingent of the class minus Bakugo and Kirishima were present and either stretching or hanging around waiting to start. Still, both boys knew that the girls were supposed to be her as well and turned to the other side of the pool ready to see the girls in their bikinis and sear the images into the brains.

What they saw was all 7 girls in the class stretching in unison and getting ready in their non sexy school costumes. That brought them down lower as they realized that all their great plans had been ruined.

"Oh, hey Mineta, Kaminari." Tsu said to them. "Glad you two could join us."

"The princess and the perv look a little crestfallen at the sight of us in our school suit." Marinette said grinning at them as she stretched showing off an impressive limberness thanks to her enhancements that made both boys even more jealous of Agreste than they already were. "Surprised? Were you hoping for less, perhaps. Maybe some nice bikinis, a tasteful one piece or two, or perhaps you were hoping for another a glimpse of my metal maybe? Shame, I took it out for this and this way there won't be any wardrobe malfunctions while we have fun, right ladies."

The others just nodded and either grinned or glared at the pair. Kaminari just sighed in defeat. Their plan to include Midoriya had dramatically backfired because he was too much of a good two shoes and now they were stuck but how the girls had found out was beyond him as he was too upset to put two and two together on who might be the one to pass the intel onto them seeing as there was a class couple after all. Meanwhile Mineta wasn't too phased.

"School swimsuits can be sexy too." He said staring at them.

"Have some standards dude." Kaminari told him.

"Kaminari, Mineta, let me be the first to thank you, Midoriya said it was your idea which makes you are an asset to the class." Ida said as he approached them arms wide and then picked them up in a bear hug and took them to the water. "Come, work up a sweat with me and Agreste, the four of us will go Plus Ultra now as we really test our endurance. Agreste suggested this part and I thoroughly concur with him as his constitution makes him the perfect pacemaker for us to keep up with."

Adrien just grinned at Marinette as he got up on a diving board and dove into the water in a graceful dive that had Marinette staring like the lovesick school girl she was as Mina cooed at her expression. Adrien was followed by Ida tossing Mineta and Kaminari in behind him and the diving in himself. The rest of the class soon followed as the boys began their endurance training with typical macho enthusiasm as they all tired to be the best. Marinette just smiled as Momo made the beach ball and the girls got ready to play on their side of the pool.

What followed was close to two hours of hell for Kaminari and Mineta as Adrien and Ida pushed them to their limits and beyond in the pool. All the guys picked up on this and got really into it as they all rose to the occasion and trained hard to see who could last the longest.

In the end, as none of them had aquatic-based Quirks, it came down to raw strength, physical fitness and Ojiro's tail. Midoriya couldn't keep his Quirk going for the entire time, so he fell off and in the end Adrien and Ojiro were the last ones going before Ida called for a break for all of them shortly after Ojiro fell off the pace showing that Adrien had the best endurance of the boys in the class.

Meanwhile, the girls just played around with a beach ball, swam about a bit, and had fun as they had planned. All acknowledged that the water was Tsu's property with her Quirk and she was the best and fully in her element in it, but the others were good as well. It was a great moment for them as they bonded and played around for once not thinking about hero work or studies and just being high school girls together.

"Alright let's take a 15-minute breather." Ida said to the boys as they got out with Mineta and Kaminari lying dead on the ground from the workout they'd been put through. "I brought these for everyone, please drink up and rehydrate."

With that Ida put a cooler on the ground and opened it to reveal orange flavored, canned, energy drinks of some sort. Given the need for orange soda or something like that to fuel Ida's Quirk it made sense for him to have it and it was a nice touch for him to bring some for the whole class.

"Nice." Sato said grabbing a can.

"Thanks a lot class rep." Ojiro said.

"This is just what I needed after that." Sero said taking a can, cracking it, and gulping a lot of it down in one go. "Boy was that a hard work out."

"Why do the girls get to play around instead." Kaminari said as he drained his can in the shade next to Mineta. "That's so unfair."

"They got permission to use it to goof off can you believe it." Mineta complained watching them.

"You idiot, why did you make our application for endurance training?" Kaminari asked ignoring the scene behind him of Koda trying to deal with Aoyama who had an upset stomach for some reason.

"Sure, blame me, I don't see you making any suggestions." Mineta complained.

"Looks like you've been working out." Shoji said to Ojiro with a dupli mouth. "Showed in that training, you kept up with Agreste almost until the end."

"Thanks, I've been practically living at the gym." Ojiro said flexing a bit. "With my Quirk I need to stay in top shape and keep my training up to keep pace in this class."

"A good plan, we mustn't lose focus." Tokoyami said as Adrien came up to join them in the shade, Ida was taking a soda to Midoriya, and it looked like they would have a moment while Todoroki was brooding as usual, so he figured he'd chill here in the shade with these guys, all but Shoji being ones he'd had some interaction with this semester. "You seem to be on that ball Agreste."

"As you said Tokoyami, we mustn't lose focus." Adrien said as he sat with them. "I'm good because of my training, need to keep it up. My Quirk is merely and addition to what I can bring, it's my physical strength and weapon skills that are the big things I need to keep sharp."

"Agreed." Shoji said. "And you really showed that in the pool."

"Advantages of my family's past there." Adrien said. "Quirk Marriages for a few generations do have some advantage after all. Plus, this is purely physical training for me as I actually can't use my Quirk in the water."

"I have been wondering about something regarding your Quirk." Tokoyami said picking up on what Agreste had just said and asking to confirm it. "We've only seen you use it on solids, but can it affect liquids?"

"Yes which is why I'm not using it in the pool." Adrien said. "It would boil the water away, that's how it destroys liquids."

"Fascinating." Tokoyami said. "It's true darkness then."

"I guess but it does come in handy with trash and makes me good at rescue." Adrien said activating Cataclysm in his right hand and then turning his empty can to dust that blew away on the wind before turning it off. "See, really gets rid of waste."

"I bet when we start to deal with urban rescue you'll come in handy." Shoji said. "A power like that can really save people, especially because it won't work on them."

"So long as the structure is supported before I start using my Quirk." Adrien said. "There is a lot more than just destroying in rescue. I need to improve my Quirk and use it for longer to be effective."

"We all do." Tokoyami said. "But that is why we are at U.A."

The others nodded at that. U.A. was going to help them be the best they could be when it came to being heroes so they couldn't wait to continue their training.

"You'd better." An angry voice called out and all the boys looked to see that Bakugo and Kirishima had arrived at last, and the former was yelling something at Midoriya to no one's surprise. "The next time I face you I want you to be at your strongest."

"Kacchan." Izuku said naturally nervous at the arrival of his longtime rival.

"Sorry we're late, it took a while to convince Bakugo here to come out." Kirishima said putting an arm out to stop Bakugo's advancement on Midoriya.

"I'm more surprised he managed to persuade Bakugo to show up at all." Adrien said and the others nodded.

"So Deku, you want to settle who's the best between us right now?" Bakugo asked ignoring any side conversations as his palms exploded. "We can decide here in front of everyone, that way they'll know that I'm the best."

"No, that's not it." Izuku said not ready for this just yet.

"Actually, you know what we could make this a race." Ida said thinking on what Bakugo had said and realizing that it wasn't a bad idea. "We did just push ourselves in the endurance to see who was best at that, we should see how it all paid off when we shift to a sprint. Hey everyone, I propose we see which of the boys can swim 50 meters the fastest. A friendly race."

"Yeah that sounds fun." Kaminari said recovering and getting into the spirit of competition.

"Let's do it." Sato said grinning at a chance to show off his raw strength for short distances where he was better than at pure endurance.

"There are 15 of us so three heats of 5 is fairest." Adrien said looking over the people.

"Ida, why don't you let us help you out with this." Momo said as the girls approached interested in watching the competition the guys were about to have.

"Yes please that will be useful." Ida said. "You can help determine heats and officiate, that way it is fair as we'd be biased."

"And Quirks?" Ojiro asked. "Can we use them?"

"We are at school, so I don't see why not." Ida said thinking on it. "However, you cannot cause damage to your classmates or the building so Kaminari, Agreste, I'm sorry but I think you two won't be able to use your Quirks."

"Probably best not to use mine in water with you guys." Kaminari admitted though it did end his advantage.

"I don't need it." Adrien said simply. "What I can do over distance I can do as a sprint."

As they were chatting Bakugo grinned and walked forward to stand before Deku. He was going to make it clear who was going to win this though Deku didn't back down this time and squared off against his old rival.

"I'm going to annihilate you Deku." Bakugo said simply before turning to Todoroki who was still sitting on his own against a wall nearby. "You too Icy-Hot, you bastard."

Todoroki just nodded as the guys moved over to the side while the girls went to a corner to confer. It was up to them how to do determine the heats.

"It's 3 heats of 5 with the best advancing." Marinette said. "And we know who the big 3 are after Bakugo's little outburst so I say we base each heat off one of them."

"Agreed." Momo said with a nod. "That will ensure that all have a shot at the final, but we should make sure those against them can beat them as well. With that declaration Bakugo should go first."

"And Deku last that way we can separate them longer." Ochaco said. "So put Todoroki second."

"Ok so we have the three decided but who should be with them?" Jiro asked.

"At least one per heat should have a Quirk that aids them in the pool." Marinette said thinking on what Quirks her classmates had. "Tokoyami and Ida, have them in the first and last ones. Ida in the last will add to Midoriya's competition and I think Adrien should be in that one as well, his raw speed can match it."

"That works and I say have Kaminari and Mineta in the first one." Jiro said. "They tricked us so they should face Bakugo and Tokoyami."

"Works." Momo said looking over at the boys. "And Koda can fill it out, he can go anywhere as his Quirk won't be of use to him in this situation, and this feels good for him."

"Alright that's the first heat set, and we have 3 in the final one but who should be with Todoroki?" Toru asked. "He'll likely use his ice."

"So, to balance let's put others who can clear the water without an issue though Todoroki will be disqualified if he freezes the water as that would interfere with the others." Marinette said. "Sero and Aoyama are best for that. Then balance it with two who will definitely swim, Kirishima and Sato I'd say."

"Works for us, ribbit." Tsu said. "And that leaves Shoji and Ojiro to join the last group. Pretty fair if you ask me."

"Alright we're set." Marinette said. "Momo, you be the main official as you can make a whistle to start it, we'll gather at the end to judge though I think it's going to be interesting."

"Agreed." Momo said as she created what she needed, and the girls broke up with the 6 going to the far end and Momo approaching the boys. "We've decided the heats. First up we have Bakugo, Koda, Tokoyami, Mineta and Kaminari. Please take all but the outside lanes so lanes 2 to 6."

The boys just nodded as they made their way to the starting blocks and got on them. Kaminari was nearest then Bakugo, Koda, Tokoyami and finally Mineta. With that Momo took her starting place and raised the whistle to her lips.

"Alright on your marks, get set, go!" On the last word she blew her whistle and 4 of the 5 dove in however Bakugo leapt up and blasted to the other end with his explosions above the pool as fast as he could.

"Burst speed, turbo!" He yelled as he did before landing in clear first place. "How'd you like that losers."

"Hey, no fair, you didn't touch the water." Kirishima said.

"Yeah that's not swimming." Sero said.

"It's called freestyle." Bakugo shouted back.

"Ladies?" Ida asked the girls who turned to Marinette as their de facto leader.

"We're allowed to use Quirks and he didn't destroy property or hurt others which is honestly a surprise with Bakugo." Marinette said with a shrug. "So, it's within the rules that have been laid out. Bakugo wins."

"See, Dupain-Cheng said so, so there." Bakugo said with a laugh. "Icy-Hot, Deku, you two had better win."

"Um ok well then Quirks are fully allowed so long as they are in the rules." Momo said. "Next up could we have Todoroki, Kirishima, Sero, Aoyama, and Sato please."

This time Kirishima took the nearest lane followed by Sato, Todoroki, Aoyama and Sero in that order. With the freestyle aspect Bakugo had decided to employ plans were now being made by the three who could clear it without swimming while Sato ate some sugar he'd taken from his bag to prepare.

"Alright on your marks, get set, go!" Momo said blowing her whistle again.

This time only the nearest two lanes dove in but all eyes were on the other 3 as Todoroki slid out on ice, Sero used his tape to pull himself across and Aoyama his laser. However, Aoyama's laser cut out and he veered off course and into Sero midway through causing both to spectacularly crash into the pool and give Todoroki the easy victory as he hopped off the ice on the far end.

"You're supposed to be swimming." Mineta and Kaminari complained as Todoroki just shrugged and set to work melting the ice.

"Well as Todoroki is sorting that out, the last heat will be Ida, Midoriya, Agreste, Ojiro, and Shoji." Momo said and the boys got into place.

Shoji took the nearest lane followed by Ojiro, Midoriya in the middle, Ida and lastly Agreste as they waited. It didn't take long for boys to get into position and for Todoroki to finish getting rid of his ice.

"Alright on your marks, get set, go!" Momo said blowing her whistle for the last time in the heats.

This time 4 of them dove in and for once swimming was actually a part of the race as they powered forward with Agreste taking an early lead but then Ida shot past on his engines balancing on the lane divider with his arms wide. That got Midoriya to power up as green lightning surrounded his body and he shot forward. It became a 3-horse race to the end when Ida, now near Recipro levels leapt off for the end while Midoriya and Agreste lunged from the water.

"Midoriya wins!" The announcement came from Marinette of all people as she raised her hand but hearing it from her seemed to avoid any doubt given who her bias was going to be for, but she'd still called it correctly. "He advances."

"I knew you'd do it Deku." Ochaco cheered.

"Ida and Agreste were so close." Mina said as the girls just cheered.

"You beat me, both of you I think." Ida said as Midoriya helped him out while Adrien got out to congratulate the green haired boy.

"Midoriya." Todoroki muttered as he rested against the fence on that end having never left after melting his ice.

The four boys just stood there all looking at each other as the finals were being prepared and things seemed to fall away around them. Marinette saw this and ushered the other girls up to the top end for it as this was something between the boys. She still wanted details on what had happened in that alleyway in Hosu, but she'd have to wait. However, whatever it was, it had forged a bond of steel between the four boys, a bond only a bloody battle can forge and as both Ida and Adrien had scars on their bodies from it there was no doubt that it was a bloody battle.

All four didn't say anything but they all knew that they were thinking of that alleyway in Hosu, the fight they had with Stain, what all of them did, what they'd said, and what they'd learned from that experience. Ida's mistakes, Midoriya's resolve, Todoroki's growth, and Agreste's words to them all as he took on Stain alone so that Midoriya and Todoroki could get Ida and Native to safety. They all pledged to become great heroes worthy of their idles, worthy of themselves, worthy of the chance they'd been given after the incident, and worthy of the new life one of them now had.

The moment only lasted for a moment before it was broken by Adrien walking back to the main group to remind them that there was still the final race to have. A second later Ida, Todoroki and Midoriya joined him though Ida pulled up short and they all knew what it meant as Todoroki and Midoriya turned to face him and Bakugo stepped forward from where he'd been watching the other races.

"It's time for the final race." Ida said to the trio. "Bakugo, Todoroki, Midoriya, as winners of each heat you'll fight for first place. Got it?"

"Yup." Izuku said.

"Right." Todoroki added.

"Listen up scar face." Bakugo said glaring at Todoroki. "Don't you dare hold back like you did at the Sports Festival."

"I won't." Todoroki said with conviction in his voice. "This time you'll get my all Bakugo."

"You are too." Bakugo said turning to Deku though surprising Izuku by not using it while addressing him. "Fight to win."

"Yeah, I will, I promise." Izuku said with a nod as the three boys went to take their places in the three center lanes.

Bakugo took the nearest, Midoriya the middle, and Todoroki the furthest as they climbed up and onto the blocks each with their own strategy for the final. As they did the boys and girls of Class 1-A began to get into it as Ida took over marshal duties for the final.

"Alright the final of the boys 50-meter freestyle is about to begin." Ida said taking over the officiating duties for the final.

"Blow them away Bakugo." Kirishima said supporting his friend.

"Don't kill the other swimmers." Kaminari added.

"You got this Todoroki." Sero said.

"You can do it Deku!" Ochaco said surprising no one with her enthusiastic support for her best friend.

"Do your best everyone." Momo said in her usually diplomatic tone.

"The big 3 of our class." Adrien said to Marinette. "Well, you'd crack them but still for the boys they are. Who's got this?"

"Depends." Marinette said thinking. "Bakugo has to be controlled and precise, but we know he can do that. Todoroki has to be above the water to avoid freezing it which will take a few seconds, but Midoriya can power up right away. If the last can hold it he's got a chance but in a straight like Bakugo's the fastest. It will be close."

"Now on your marks." Ida said raising his arm as the boys got ready with explosions in Bakugo's palms, ice on Todoroki's entire right arm, and Midoriya sparking with green energy. "Get set go!"

On that Ida blew the whistle and the boys leapt off the blocks and proceeded to spectacularly do nothing as the two trying to go above the water fell in and Midoriya belly flopped as his power cut out. That was not how anyone expected it to happen, and the logical explanation was missed on them.

"What happened?" Kaminari asked.

"Why aren't they using their Quirks?" Sero added.

"It's 5 pm." Aizawa's voice said, and they all turned to see their homeroom teacher approaching his hair on end and eyes glowing to show that his Quirk was active and the reason why the final hadn't gone off as expected. "Your authorized pool time is officially over. Hurry up and go home."

"Aw man just another minute." Kaminari said.

"Yeah it was getting good." Sero added.

"Are you questioning me?" Aizawa asked turning his active Quirk glare on them.

"No sir." The entire class said as they went off to the changing rooms.

"That was fun even if we didn't get to see who won." Mina said as the girls got to their changing room and began to change out of their costumes. "The top three guys in our class, that was going to be good."

"Yeah but next time we should partake as well." Jiro said. "I want to see how well Marinette does against them. She's always surprising us so who knows what her Quirk can produce. Same with Yao-Momo."

"Don't forget Tsu." Marinette said as she took her costume off and dried off the rest of herself with towel that she'd brought. "She's the aquatic one of us. I'd like to race you Tsu, you'd be a great challenge for me."

"Ribbit." Tsu said with a smile. "I would like to race as well but your Quirk is strong Marinette, you'd get something good."

"Well, I've had some aquatic training." Marinette said as she put her underwear on. "Not much though but I have moves that would even surprise you if I can create the right gear."

"We should all get some training in more terrains." Momo said. "The USJ is really good for that."

"Yeah but we have the training camp coming up." Toru reminded them. "That will be training. We need to hang out more and we know we can't use the pool too much; I don't doubt that Mineta has already made more plans for it."

"Well then why don't you go somewhere he won't follow." Marinette said as she put her piercing back in and turned to face her friends an idea she'd had for a while coming to her mind now that she could do it. "Come to my place in Tokyo before the camp, we can have a girls day there. I can ensure that the place is well stocked, even treat you to some French things if you'd like, and we can have a true girls day away from the guys."

"Even yours?" Mina asked surprised by eager for this.

"I can send Adrien away; he wouldn't mind once I explain this to him." Marinette said. "I used to have these things with my girlfriends back in Paris at my place there and I'd like to do it with you lot as well."

"Well, I for one would be honored." Momo said. "And to experience some French things would be nice as you've done so much for us Marinette."

"Yeah sounds fun." Jiro said. "But don't you stay with that Guardian."

"It's the penthouse above the Guardian agency in Tokyo." Marinette said causing Momo to gasp at that, it was a piece of prime real estate in the nation's capital.

"What is your life?" Ochaco asked almost passing out. "I didn't realize that you had those connections Marinette."

"Her boyfriend is the Adrien Agreste, heir to the Agreste fashion empire." Toru pointed out. "So, Marinette has to have some clout as well to know him."

"I fell for Adrien because of who he is not his family." Marinette said clearing that up though none of the girls doubted her. "But yes, I have my own clout in my own right, but I don't talk about it."

"We know just teasing." Mina said. "And I doubt you'd need that money."

"Probably not." Marinette said. "So how about it? You in ladies?"

"Of course." Momo said.

"Yeah, sounds fun." Jiro added.

"Um I want to but I'm not sure about the price of the tickets." Ochaco said nervously.

"Don't worry Uraraka I'll cover for you." Momo said. "We should do this as friends, future female heroes, and this is away from the school."

"I don't know, I don't want to be indebted to you Yaoyorozu." Ochaco said.

"Don't think of it like that, I'm just helping out a friend." Momo said with a smile.

"Yeah come on Ochaco, ribbit." Tsu said. "This will be fun especially if it is all of us."

"Ok." Ochaco said giving in. "When?"

"Give me a few days." Marinette said. "Mage is heading back to France today to sort some stuff out over break and another teacher from Francois Dupont, and Guardian, is coming in so I need to run it by her first."

"Sounds good just text us the details and we'll come." Momo said. "Until then we should all keep up our training."

"Agreed now let's blow this joint before Aizawa sends Midnight to kick us out." Mina said as the girls finished getting dressed and headed out to meet the boys and go to the station.

Marinette just smiled as they left glad that this was going to happen. It was one of the few things she'd not been able to do yet, have a true girls day in and now she could and show off a bit. It would feel like old times and really help. Adrien would understand, he always did, and it would all be good. Marinette just needed to run it by their temporary Guardian, but she knew it would be fine. Soon her days with her girlfriends would return, and another old habit would be reestablished as Marinette and Adrien continued to adjust to their new world.

I think I'll leave it there and set it up for the first of what will be a few Marinette and the girls days similar to how she'd have Alya, Mylene, Alix, Juleka, and Rose around but you will have to wait for that. As for this chapter, well I hoped you enjoyed the swimming chapter with a little twist for how the girls avoided falling into Mineta's plans this time. However, that is all I have for this chapter and as such will leave it off here. If you like it or have any questions please let me know in reviews or PMs, I will try to answer them as best I could and post any questions asked between uploads at the start of the next chapter and do follow and favorite this, so you are alerted to future uploads. Do keep the reviews coming as I like hearing from y'all as you enjoy my work, it motivates me to keep producing the best work I can for y'all to enjoy. Until next time.
