Kaminari could only laugh with the majority of the class as a flustered Iida came back. No words could be formed from the sheer hilarity of the situation at hand. Nobody on the planet could make this more perfect. "You never told us you were in love, Iida, we would have helped!" Except Suzuki.
"That is most certainly not the case, Suzuki! That madwoman used me like a prop!" It must've really got to him, the man was waving his arms more than usual. "I've shamed the Iida family name! I've never looked more foolish than before now!"
"Now that's not true Iida." Uraraka spoke, holding back her laughter the best she could. "There was the time … you looked like … an exit sign!" And like that the class was sent back into laughter.
"Oh, you should've seen his villain monologue during the battle trials!" Ojiro howled out. "Sounded like a saturday morning cartoon character! The only thing missing was the twirling mustache! He was just like the magma guy!"
"This is going to go on for a while, isn't it?" Iida asked the group, sitting down. "At the very least a few of you show dignity in this frankly ridiculous situation." He gestured to Suzuki, Bakugou, and Todoroki.
"I don't care in general." Todoorki deadpanned.
"I don't care about your sex life." Bakugou added.
"You looked so cool with all those gadgets!" Suzuki gleeded with stars in his eyes. "I wish I could've worn them! It was amazing you guys were able to help each other too!" This kid really was too innocent for this class.

Aizawa was not a fan of the sports festival. Sure, it helped show off students' potential and it was 'all in the name of fun', but his students were just getting hurt needlessly. It also highlighted the main problem with the entrance exam, seeing right from the booth what Histoshi Shinso went through to get noticed.
'The dark horse' of the festival, probably staying unnoticed until the tournament rounds to make a surprise splash. So now he would have to spend a portion of his time training that kid to be up to the potential of the rest of the hero course students, given he actually had the will to go through with it.
Then there were the problem fights, such as Bakugo. Sure he was going to treat each fight fairly and give the opponent respect, but in turn it was just going to be … brutal. He was the most versatile in quirk usage and had combat instincts drilled in his head, the problem was he seemed to treat every situation as a means to fight against somebody. Motivated as hell, but a real pain in the ass to deal with afterwards.
The most concerning situation now was Todoroki, usually precise in the amount of ice he created, just released a five story iceberg just to take on Sero, who was admittedly not worth THAT much effort to beat. The kid was frustrated at something, making him lose control.
He idly looked at the half of the stadium still thawing out with the help of some on service pro heroes. If he didn't get it under wraps he might murder someone on accident. Not to mention he was irrationally holding back. After the festival, he hoped to finally call the brat out and make him use that fire of his. Son of a hero or not, he wasn't above suspending or expelling Endevor's kid.
And Suzuki, who still hasn't used his quirk since the entrance exam. Granted, he could respect the boy's insistence on not making himself completely useless after one punch, but you could only go so far in dodging and evading attacks out on the field. He never thought he would get a student that would be a problem child because he DIDN'T engage in fights proactively. Then again, All Might wasn't the pinnacle of teaching in the slightest.
So now had three and counting unstable students locked in one on one rings coming close to meeting each other in highly destructive matches … this wasn't going to end well. The only hope he had was for Suzuki's survival instincts kicking into overdrive and making him leap out of the ring, because that seemed to be the only option for him that didn't seriously maim him.
On top of that, the next time for summoning was coming up, particularly during the week of internships. He may just have to suck it up and have Recovery Girl speed up the process of healing. Maybe hearing stories of Kalego tormenting his brats would cheer him up slightly.
"Yo, you finally awake?" Yamada asked. "Finally, you sleep like a log you know." No he didn't, because no one would let him sleep, ever.

Todoroki found himself taking another chilly breath. Yeah, he really went overboard in all honesty. Sure he could handle extreme cold without serious repercussions at first, but his body was still shivering. And Sero was receiving what the class referred to as the 'Tsuyu' treatment. "Guys, this is a bit much, don't you think?" The tape user was huddled by Asui, Suzuki, and Toru, though the last one was clinging to Suzuki as always.
"Your face is blue." Asui deadpanned in her forever even tone. "Clearly you need this."
"I've had frostbite before, many times, you don't want your fingers to fall off." Suzuki explained himself. "I had to climb into a fox burrow like six times to avoid it." Yes, the boy's supposed horrible life he keeps prattling on and on about.
"You have such a straight face when you say something so horrifying." Uraraka spoke out, joining in on the huddle as well. "Is there anything that HASN'T happened to you?"
"Umm …. Oh, I never got to go to a volcano. Apparently my class went to visit Mt Fuji but I was busy with work." The boy answered with a nod. Mt Fuji was a common place, who the fuck hasn't been there?
"Okay, all those who want to go to Mt. Fuji the next time we're given a break, say I." Ashido asked the class.
"I." Everyone but himself, Bakugo, Mineta, and Kaminari agreed.
"I get the silent man and the asshole."
"Bite me."
"But what's up with you two?"
"Come on, he needs fun, and the beach is way better than Mt Fuji if you want fun." Kaminari smiled. "There's sun, sand, waves."
"But isn't the nearest beach around here a scrapheap?" Shoji wondered. "Not a lot of fun to be around rusting metal."
"Oh, are you talking about the beach Bunny-sensei had me clean?" Suzuki asked with his usual head tilt.
"Wait, so because of you and All Might the beach is clear?" Kirishima asked. "Hell yeah, community service is manly! And we get a beach to have fun in too!"
"Well I was cleaning the beach because my parents told me to melt the scrap down and sell it, but Bunny-sensei found me a month in and put me on a meal plan and said I'd help more people, so it all worked out for the best!" Of course, the 'bad parents'. If anyone that bad existed that wasn't a pro they would be locked away.
"Bunny-sensei for the win!" Uraraka shouted. "Oh, the match is about to start!"
"Oh, I guess I should get going then." Tsu got up from the huddle. "Wish me luck."
"Go Tsu, you can beat them easily!" Suzuki smiled.
"... Wish me luck." Yaoyarozu spoke up awkwardly. In all honesty he thought she had a better chance.
"Oh, sorry Momo, you're super strong too!" Of course, the idiot forgot who was fighting. Probably didn't even know what he was saying half the time either. He lies about having a quirk, so why wouldn't he lie about this? There's no way someone that stupidly happy could have such a terrible life.

"Give it up for the president of 1-A … MOMO YAOYOROZU!!"
Momo walks onto the stage, the cheers making her flush a bit from the attention. It was more than the praise that her classmates gave her on occasion for her planning and leadership. There were people in this crowd that expected her to go far, people who hoped that she would win. She wouldn't disappoint them.
"And her opponent, also from 1-A, a girl with eyes so dead they stare into your very soul!"
"So help me I will get the nail gun."
"A round of applause for …. TSUYU ASUI!!"
"Present Mic doesn't think before he talks, doesn't he?" Asui stared blankly at the booth.
"No, no he does not." Midnight spoke up while raising her whip. "Both sides ready?"
"I am fully prepared." Momo got into her fighting position. The moment the battle started, she would take out her staff.
"I am. Ribbit." Asui nodded. She would be likely to leap ahead at her the moment the match started. Time it just right and she could catch her mid strike in the air. She had plenty of lips stored for a long match, she just needed to be sure not to waste it in such rapid time.
'This'll prove how ready I am to be a hero. I've led my class during the USJ, I'll keep proving that I'm someone they can continue to put all their trust in!'
"Begin!" Asui launched at her, just like she expected, she pulled her staff back, ready to strike-until the tongue she forgot about extended, snatching the metal stick from her hand. She would make another but by then it was too late, a single kick to the stomach knocking her out of bounds.
"Momo Yaoyorozu is out of bounds! The Winner is Tsuyu Asui!" What! It ended that quickly!?
"Such a high speed KO!" She … never stood a chance did she?
"You alright Momo?" Asui leapt off the stage and reached out her hand to her downed state. "You okay, Ribbit?"
"I...I'm fine, Asui." The looks of...pity. She...was she that weak?
"Call me Tsu." She..failed. She wasn't ready...she...was a failure. No one should trust her...she...she wasn't worth it.

Setsuna watched as Monoma laughed. "A class president that can't even last a minute. 1-A really is a joke class, isn't it?" The boy stood over the divider between the classes, covered in bandages all over.
"By that logic, you're saying we're the worst since we didn't even make it." Itsuka raised an eyebrow as well as her hand, readying to chop the boy silent. "Asui just decided to strike first, that's all."
"But everyone in the crowd remembers the one-on-one fights the most! Everyone may forget about 1-B, but EVERYONE will remember just how incopetent the fools in 1-A really are, while we'll preserve our dignity and shine through once the delusion of that 'perfect' hero class is shattered! We'll be the main characters everyone remembers!"
"Lizard Lips, you mind shutting up your beta male?" Bakugo asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I would love to, but if I did that under the orders of another beta it'd be hypocritical wouldn't it?" She retorted.
"Last I checked, I was top dog. You didn't make it to this round." The bomber snarled.
"Yet you still run your mouth and complain like you're a sore loser, don't ya?" She smirked.
"Who said I lost anything? I'm winning the tournament, everything else is just a stepping stone to first place, and you were a good stone to step on."
"Ooh, I wouldn't mind being stepped on, but would you mind if I did you first~?"
"The fact you think you can do me with muscles that skinny means you MUST be an optimist."
"It's a baggy clothes set, you have little idea what's under this shirt."
"Then maybe I should look."
"Setsuna, please stop." She turned, finding most of the class various shades of red, green, or pale.
"Going by the looks on your faces, I don't think I will." She smirked. "That means I'm doing something right."
"Yeah, who cares what the rest of you extras think, this is between me and her."
"I mean, I just didn't take you for an exibisionist." Setsuna turned to the pink skinned one that made the joke.
"... I like you." She smiled. 1-A seemed like a fun class.
