The bus trip started off with utter chaos.

Half of the class were muttering excitedly to each other, or flicking through each others' phones and laughing between themselves.

Quite a lot of the class looked tired, Jiro and Yaoyorozu sitting quietly side by side and half drifting off. Probably from their early start.

Ashido was writing something on a notebook with another pencil in her mouth, and in the back Ojiro was staring out the window like a dog.

Y/N was plugged into his music, humming along as he listened to his favourite song on his headphones.

The boy was leaning his head against the window, staring out at the green scenery and mountains as they flashed past. Todoroki was sleeping peacefully next to him, the bag of sweets Y/N had offered him at the start of the trip cradled in his limp hands.

Aizawa attempted to make an announcement, but it was lost to the entire class as they made enough noise to drown out whatever he'd said.

Y/N noticed his teacher's lips moving and leaned forward, taking off his headphones so they hung on his neck. "What was that, sir?"

Aizawa sighed. "It's nothing. We'll be stopping in a few minutes for a short break."

"Alright."

Y/N leaned back into his seat as the music changed to another song, watching the hills roll by.

He was thinking about the camp ahead of him. It would be a perfect time to complete another contract. A student would simply vanish into the woods and never be seen again.

But the main problem is, it would be really hard to leave the main group - I'm pretty sure there's always going to be people around.

The bus pulled to a halt, and Aizawa stood up, overlooking the class. One by one the students fell quiet. "We're stopping for a break. Feel free to leave the bus."

He made no move to get off himself, and as the class piled out the doors, gasping in delight at the fresh countryside air or the magnificent view, Y/N found his way blocked by the sleeping Todoroki.

"Hey." Y/N tried tapping his shoulder, with no response.

The boy gently slapped his sleeping classmate on the cheek. "Todoroki."

Todoroki snapped awake, two-toned eyes blinking quickly as he got a hold of his surroundings.

Y/N jumped back a bit. "Just wanted to let you know that we're going out for a break. Might be good to stretch your legs."

The boy nodded quickly, leaving the sweets on his seat and getting off much faster than a previously asleep person should be able to.

Y/N was about to follow him, but stopped next to Aizawa, who'd just stepped off the bus. "Y/N, is something the matter?"

Y/N replied in the negative, before his eyes focused and he was instantly alert. A moment later, two women dressed in colourful costumes jumped over the side of the cliff, appearing in front of Class 1-A.

"Why don't you go join your class?" Aizawa tried to make Y/N move, but the teen declined, staying right next to the teacher.

Y/N was... surprised. These are pro heroes? They look like something straight out of Power Rangers, with costumes like that.

The duo gave a short introduction, and Y/N nodded to himself. They're furries, okay.

There was a small boy standing near the barrier on the edge, wearing a cap and glaring at the students. Nobody seemed to have noticed him yet.

One of the women pointed across the view spread out in front of the class. "This entire area is our property. You'll be staying at the foot of that mountain, over there." She pointed to a huge stony mountain in the distance.

A murmur spread through the class. "Then why did we stop here?" Uraraka asked.

There was no response from either of the two heroes, and the class started to slowly move back to the bus. "Maybe we should get back on..."

Y/N was enjoying this, standing next to Aizawa and right next to the bus's entry doors. He turned to his teacher, who was watching the encounter tiredly. "Do I have to follow them?"

"Yes." Aizawa didn't even look at him.

"But can't I get on the bus?"

"No. The bus is for old people like me." Aizawa spoke flatly, and Y/N smiled a bit.

"Don't worry, you're not that old." He returned his gaze to the class, who was now moving a bit faster back to the coach.

The red woman was still speaking. "If you move fast, you should be able to get there by noon! Lunch is served at 12:30, and no lunch if you don't arrive on time."

Y/N dashed inside the coach to retrieve the bag of sweets Todoroki had left on his seat before returning out to watch his class get sent flying off the cliff by an earthquake.

It was probably supposed to be awe-inspiring. Or at least scary. But Y/N just burst into laughter as he watched his classmates' arms pinwheel as they were flung down to wherever.

He dug his hand in the bag and popped a sweet into his mouth, before offering the packet to Aizawa.

"I'm okay, thank you. We'll just have to see what they do when they realise you weren't sent down."

The duo came over, focusing their attention on Aizawa. The blue one spoke first. "Hey, Eraserhead! Long time no see!"

"Hello, Pixie-Bob."

Pixie-Bob's gaze turned to Y/N. "Wait, is he a student?"

"Yes..."

The woman gasped, and the red-clothed one came closer. "Mandalay, we didn't get all of them."

The red one, Mandalay, frowned. "He wasn't in school uniform, so I let him be."

Y/N just smiled, offering the packet of sweets. Both the ladies took one, and Y/N shrugged. "I would prefer to take the bus, but I can walk as well."

"You'll have to, I'm afraid. It was my mistake that you didn't get sent down."

The boy's smile widened. "Nonono, I thoroughly enjoyed watching my classmates try to learn how to fly."

Pixie-Bob laughed loudly, Mandalay giving a small grin. "I would almost let you take the bus for that, but training is training, soooo..."

"Yeah, I get it."

He turned his attention to the small boy standing near the edge, who was now scowling at him with hostility. Y/N put up one finger in the universal sign for one minute, and walked over.

"Hey."

The boy attempted to punch Y/N in the balls, but he took a step back before the blow could connect, and dropped a few sweets into the boy's hand.

"I've got to go now, but maybe we can talk later?"

The boy's gaze hardened. "I don't like talking to heroes."

Y/N winked mischievously. "Oh, but I'm not a hero." Then he jumped over the railing with a swan dive, landing in a roll on the ground without spilling any of his sweets. 

The boy glanced at his classmates, who were groaning and picking themselves off the ground. 

"Soooo, we gonna get going or what?"
