Haru sat with his new friends on the bus ride back to the main campus. It was a little awkward for everyone at first, but thanks to some ready conversation from a recovered Kaminari, they all got comfortable enough to hold a decent conversation.

"Hope you all get into the hero course!" Haru called out as they separated at the dropoff point.

Jiro smiled, "Yeah, it would be great if we all were placed in the same class. We'd all make a good team."

Shiozaki nodded agreement, "We all created a perfect balance, didn't we?"

"We should all meet up again outside of school!" Kaminari said while winking at Jiro.

Monoma gave Kaminari a disgusted look, "Is that what you call flirting?"

"Anyone care to exchange numbers?" Haru cut in, holding up his phone.

Everyone instantly pulled out their own devices and touched them to Haru's.

Monoma sent Kaminari a look, "Don't spam us all with memes."

The electric blonde looked offended, "Just because I can recharge my phone without a charger, doesn't mean I like memes!"

Jiro sent him a tired look, "You're so shallow, we could tell that about you a mile away."

Kaminari looked incredulously at Haru and Shiozaki, receiving slow nods from both of them.

This caused him to clutch his chest dramatically, "You're all so mean!"

Shiozaki twirled one of her vines around her finger, "I'm sure the rest of us have our own eccentric traits that would seem strange to others."

As if to prove her point, Haru's phone began to buzz as it played an old-time pop theme.

You just gotta ignite~ the light~
And let~ it shine
Just own~ the night
Like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework~
Come on show 'em what~ you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y


Haru instantly felt his skin burn up as Kaminari and Monoma gave him a weird look.

Haru was a little obsessed with the lost culture before the rise of quirks. The world was still recovering from the loss of technology, knowledge, and history that resulted in the chaos that had arisen in the first quarter of the 21st century. Even the internet databanks had been destroyed, voiding access to thousands of years of information across the globe. It was only within the past couple of decades that the few institutions of knowledge that survived internationally had begun the redistribution of knowledge. Needless to say, the now ancient pop culture had gained popularity among some of the younger generation but it wasn't as commonplace anymore.

Haru smiled sheepishly, "That's my brother's ringtone."

"Katy Perry. Good taste," Jiro said as she gave him a thumbs-up.

Kaminari suddenly laughed, "Oh, I get it! Explosion Boy! Fireworks!"

Monoma sighed as he shook his head, "Don't explain it. Now it's no longer funny."

A very uncharacteristic giggle came from Shiozaki.

Haru slid his finger along the answer button and held the phone to his ear, "Hi Katsuki! Miss me already?"
