Girls' changing room.
"So." Camie asked while removing her catsuit. "Do you girls have hots for anyone yet?"
"Camie!" Religious girl almost screamed. "What kind of of question is that?"
"Just making sure I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. It'd kinda suck if we got into a catfight over a boy... or a girl *wink*."
"No?" Momo and Ibara answered uncertainly.
"Well, I think that Freckles is cute." Setsuna replied after some thinking. "He has a bit of dorkish charm to him."
"I thought you were head over heels for Romero." Itsuka carefully packed up her qipao.
"Why? Because he has the best quirk ever? That's certainly great, but not enough of a reason for me to want to date him. He's kind of abrasive."
"I... don't really think about dating right now." Ochako pulled back the phone she almost dropped.
"Isn't that Midoriya-san's Attraction?"
"Yeah. He said I could have for a while. He wants to test something else in the meantime."
"Cool! Anyway, I think Todoroki and Brando are total hotties. Bakugou too, but he's an ass." Cop lady removed her hat.
"Agreed." Tokage nodded. "Even more so than Dino boy."
"We must not use such vulgar language!" Shiozaki stomped. "But I have to agree than Bakugou is an unpleasant person. I wonder why that is the case."
"Pride." Gravity girl replied. "De... Middoriya told me that Bakugou got used to being praised all the time. Now that he's in an environment with stiff competition, so not being top 1 again pisses him off."
"What an attitude." Red head put on her shirt. "I think Monoma is cute, but his antics are annoying. I'd be careful around Todoroki, though. He seems like a jerk to me, Camie."
"I'd be careful around Brando-san as well." Momo fixed up her hair. "The first thing he asked me was if I could make gold. Something tells me he only values money."
"Maybe... Maybe he was just probing for your quirk's weaknesses, like Romero?" Uraraka tried to be defensive. "Or perhaps Holy Diver needs gold to power up? He looks like a knight in golden armor already."
"If that is the case, it'd be a very economically inefficient quirk." Kendou joked.
"Guys, look!" Tokage pointed at a hole in the wall. "Someone must have tried spying on the opposite sex before us. I wonder if my eye would... OUCH!"
"Don't even think about it." Ibara slapped would be peeping Tom with a vine.
Boys' changing room.
"Guys, could anyone lend me their quirk for analysis?" Izuku asked.
"Can you give me Explosion in return?" Fujimi was packing up his costume. "I bet I could use it better than that idiot."
"No. It wouldn't be right to give other people's quirks without permission. I could give you Fire Breath, but you would likely set yourself on fire."
"I always wondered how our quirks would interact." Monoma put on his shoes. "We should test that later."
"Dark Shadow and I are like siblings. I... am not sure if parting us would be the best outcome."
"Come on, Fumi! We should ask Daigo to swap. That would be hilarious." The sentient quirk appeared.
Midoriya noticed a hole in the wall.
"Huh? I guess we should tell someone about this." He pointed at it.
"Who would do this kind of crap?" Romero was disgusted.
"Whoever it is, they'd better stop doing that." Neito left to call for repairs.
1A went to the infirmary. Brando and Iida were chilling and drinking orange juice, virus victims were still little dinos and the other two were asleep from due to exhaustion from Recovery Girl's quirk. There was a still visible black eye on right side Todoroki's face. Was it deliberate? Who knows.
Romero and Tokage volunteered to bring their "evolved" classmates back to dorms.
"So cute." Lizardy rubbed her finger against Pony's beak. "Almost makes we want to be your mama."
"They can still hear us, you know." Dino boy elbowed her. "So pick your words carefully."
Izuku wrote "Explosion quirk" on a piece of paper and left it near Bakugou's bed.
On the way back, Kendou decided to gather everyone's phone numbers so she could make a group chat. Midoriya chose to study some more quirks.
First was Ochako. The girl's room was basic and nothing fancy. Green head noticed a cactus, photo of (presumably) her family, piggy bank and a map of the Milky Way. No hero merch.
"Midoriya. You want your quirk back?"
"Actually, I wanted to ask you a bit about yours." He pulled out a notebook.
"Sure." They sat down.
"Tell me everything you deem important about Zero Gravity."
"Whenever I activate it on an object, it loses gravitational pull from Earth and begins floating away. If I touch fingers on both hands, all effects go away at the same time. Using it on myself or approaching my mass limit causes nausea."
"Is there a way to increase the mass limit?"
"Yes, just by being at it for long periods of time, but its very unpleasant. As a little kid I could affect only about 10 kilograms but now I can "lift" up to two tonnes of matter. Only solid matter. Liquids and gases or beyond my ability, probably because their atoms are less stable."
"I think Zero Gravity would pair nicely with Attraction, since it mitigates one of its core disadvantages. You could throw heavy object and then return it no problem."
"That would certianly be nice, he he." The girl giggled.
"Have you tried medicine to combat nausea?"
"I couldn't really afford something like that just for training pursposes, sorry."
"No need to apologize. Hmm." Midoriya scrathced his head with a pencil. "Have you tried using momentum on propel yourself?"
"You mean jumping of walls?"
"No, I mean shooting a gun backwards and use the recoil as movement tool."
"I actually never thought about that. Then again, it sounds dangerous."
"You should go to support department and ask for meds and a something with controllable recoil. I wouldn't recommend overusing medicine, but it may come in clutch if used sparingly."
"Thank you!" Ochako hugged Izuku.
"Now, could you try also absorbing this?" He showed her a photo of his dad.
"So that's why he has freckles."
Turns out Uraraka could take even a third quirk without issues, which made Midoriya envious to say the least. He took the quirks (promising to return Zero Gravity soon) and went to Tokage.
The green haired girl opened the door while only wearing her underwear.
"Yes? You want to join?" She asked while shoowing her toothy grin.
"Sorry, I must have come at the wrong time!" He looked away.
"I'm waiting for Dino to come and use his quirk on me. Just don't want to tear my clothes."
"Yeah, okay, bye!" Izuku sprinted off.
Midoriya knocked on Yaoyorozu's door. His jaw almost fell when he saw how luxurious it looked. All the defualt furniture was missing and in its place was different, much better looking one. The giant bed alone looked like it cost a small fortune. The bookshelf contained books on chemistry, physics and other things likely related to Creation.
"I didn't know she was this rich!"
"Do you need something, Midoriya?" The girl's touch snapped him out of shock.
"Yes! I wanted to ask you about your Creation."
"Why exactly?" She was suspicious.
"You know, for research purposes." He tried to sound innocent.
"Well, if it's for research, then I can oblige."
"Thanks. Tell me everything you can, please."
"My quirk works by converting body fat into other chemicals, allowing me to create anything. My only constraints are fuel, time to takes to make something and my knowledge. The bigger and more complex an object is, the more resources it ends up costing. My matryoshka dolls are almost free but drones and cannons take a toll on me. My creations are released via skin, so I have to expose it to be effective in the field."
"God! I wish I had that quirk. I'd get several PHDs if it was necessary." Midoriya did his best not to show it.
"Can you make a tree?"
"No." She shook her head. "But I can create wood and other materials that make up a tree."
"Can you stop creations mid way?"
"Yes, but what's the point? I just end up with an incomplete tool."
"If you try to create an iron plate over you skin and stop, it could work like armor."
"I never thought of it like that. I should definitely give it a try." Momo made a mental note.
"Now, don't take it the wrong way, but your quirk is similar to Toyomitsu-sensei. Shouldn't you be... you know?"
"Overweight? Rest assured, that is the case, just not the way you think. My body's lipids are more condense than for most people, but it doesn't affect my figure all that much."
"Stop! I can only get so jealous."
"I heard technology these days allows for DNA infused fabrics. Have you tried using them for your suit. I think that's what Romero uses."
"That was one of out first ideas, but it didn't help. Creations aren't technically a part of my body when they are leave my skin, so they rip through he fabrics regardless. It works for dinosaur because his whole body is capable to changing size, but my body is technically statitc on the outside when as far as my quirk is concerned."
"Does this mean Mt. Lady suit would withstand her being turned into a tyrannosaurus? I wish she was here."
"That's unfortunate. By the way, I don't think you should carry a large book. I know that is rich coming from someone who permanently has a notebook, but that thing seems too cumbersome to carry and use. Have you considered an electronic device?"
"And invite anyone with EMP or electric attacks to short circuit it? Hard Copy is much more secure in our times." The girl was getting annoyed.
"I think she doesn't like me telling her what to do too much."
"Could I... uh... try Creation?"
Raven haired girl stumbled a bit backwards, looked at him like he wanted to rob her, but then exhaled and put her forward.
"Fine, just don't do anything foolish with it."
"I'm sorry, did I offend you somehow?"
"It's just that... my parents warned me that people around will likely try to abuse me for my status, my wealth or my quirk. I have a bit of a tough time trusting others to not do it."
"You don't have to worry about me." Midoriya tried to sound enthusiastic. "I usually don't do foolish things."
"Besides revealing my true quirk to the world."
Green head tried to make something cool, but his limited knowledge meant salt, water and pure iron were his limits at the moment. The brunette, meanwhile, got stuck to the ceiling from Zero Gravity. Her quirk limit was apparently two.
Before going to sleep, Izuku returned girls' quirks back their owners. He was glad that people were opening up to him and Collection. After doing homework, eating and wishing his parents good night, the boy went to bed.
