Class 1A of the hero course consisted of twenty unique students. Some were smart, others were rambunctious, some were passionate, others were strong, but not enough were girls. With only six girls in the class, the females had immediately taken to strengthen their relations with each other. That was exactly why you often would see the girls eating breakfast together or helping each other with homework or training at the dorm or in class. Aside from being serious students and aspiring heroines, they were also teenagers and that meant hanging out and eating cupcakes or doing each other's hair. Most importantly, it meant sleepovers every couple weekends to keep each other updated on the happenings on UA.

Yaomomo, who had the biggest bed of them all, had taken to host the sleepovers every so often. The girls had tried using the common room a few times, but it had impossible to keep it a boy-free zone. Also, as Momo had wisely stated, it wasn't fair to conquer the shared living space and then ban all boys from entering, since they had every right to be there.

So when sleepovers were announced, a lot of things were set into motion. The 1A girls needed to stock up on snacks, cosmetics, music and the occasional gossip, which was surprisingly easy to come by at UA. Jiro had by some miracle set up a surround system in Momo's room and pop music was playing in the background as the girls lounged on the bed or the floor. Momo, Ochaco and Mina had claimed the bed while Kyouka and Tooru were seated on the floor sorting through magazines that Mina had brought over. Tsuyu had gone out to pick up the food they had ordered, insisting she could easily carry it on her own, so now the girls were killing time until the food arrived.

"I heard some second year girl talk about a love triangle between the Big 3, but they don't give off the right vibe. I think it's all platonic." Mina declared, settling down on the pillow she had brought from her room.

"Hadou-senpai doesn't seem like the type to get involved in pointless drama." Ochaco mused as she opened a bag of chips, reaching inside for a handful and then passing the bag along to the rest.

"Probably not." Mina agreed and reached for the big pile of nail polishes that had been placed in the center of the bed. Having a pink complexion obviously made it hard for her to choose a color that would be flattering, so she usually opted for either a black or a crème color.

"I overheard this at the teachers' lounge, but Mt. Lady applied to become a teaching assistant for some of the classes." Momo divulged as she also reached for a bottle of nail polish. Having grown up in a high standing family, she had seldom experienced sleepovers and painting nails with her friends, so she jumped at every opportunity to bond with her classmates.

"Mt. Lady teaching us? That'll be hilarious!" Mina cackled. She had nothing personal against the pro hero, but Mt. Lady didn't strike her as the instructive kind of person.

"I can only imagine her gigantifying when she gets angry or surprised." Jiro added before biting into a candy bar as she flipped a page of her chosen magazine. Kyouka had a very sweet tooth and preferred candy over chips any day. The article she was reading about toning her legs struck her as rubbish and she continued skimming the pages.

"Speaking of angry, have you noticed Bakugou's buff ass arms?" Mina piped up, momentarily removing focus from her left hand as she contemplated her blond classmate.

"Are we sure he is only 16?" Tooru asked, putting a hand on her chin – an action that went unnoticed by her friends. "I mean," she continued, "most of our guys are pretty muscular, but Bakugou aside from Shoji, he seems to have the most muscle mass."

"I don't know, Midoriya's pretty ripped too." Mina added and discreetly glanced at Ochaco, who was busying herself with choosing a face mask for Yaomomo. The pinkette, however, easily noticed the flush creeping up the brunette's cheeks, but chose not to tease her friend and calmly finished painting her nails.

"Iida-san is also very well-built, as is Kirishima-san." Momo put a hand on her chin as she mentally catalogued her classmates in terms of leanness, muscle mass, physical strength and powerful quirks. They had some formidable classmates.

"I was pretty surprised that even the skinny ones like Kaminari and Tokoyami were pretty muscular." Jiro stretched out her legs and flexed her toes experimentally. Tooru had done her nails twenty minutes ago and Kyouka was tired of waiting for them to dry.

"I guess it isn't that surprising when they're all aiming to be heroes." Mina flopped on to her back and waved her hands around in the air in hopes of drying her nails faster.

"I wonder who the strongest girl in our class is." Ochaco pondered out loud as she finished applying a layer of face mask onto Momo's face and it was like a switch had been flipped in all the girls and a deadly silence occurred.

"Are we talking about quirks or physical strength?" Jiro asked slowly. She knew some of the girls could get very... competitive, but she didn't feel like dealing with it and tried to diffuse the situation before it got out of control.

"Since our quirks aren't very comparable and also vastly different, it would make most sense to consider physical strength." Momo decided and surveyed the gathering of girls.

None of their quirks gave them any advantages strength-wise, maybe except for Tsuyu's. Mina was very athletic and incredibly fast, but Ochaco was strong and skilled at combat. Jiro usually preferred using tools or equipment rather than jumping straight into fights and while Tooru had incredible stealth, her strength didn't stand out. Momo herself was also better with weapons that had long-range, so that left Tsuyu who was very well-balanced in all aspects.

"I think it's Tsuyu-chan." Ochaco said and voiced the conclusion Momo had reached. A murmur of agreements came from the rest of the girls and silence settled over them again as they returned to their various tasks, until Tooru spoke.

"But who comes after Tsuyu-chan?" The invisible girl wondered. Ochaco's aura changed as she got into her serious mode and Mina jumped down from the bed, ready to brawl. Jiro sighed in defeat as even Momo jumped up and joined the other girls on the floor.

And that was the sight that greeted Tsuyu as she entered carrying the food they had ordered. Ochaco and Mina arm wrestling on the floor with Tooru cheering, Momo keeping scores and Jiro sitting far away with her earphones in and a magazine in front of her.
