Prodigies - My Hero Academia

Halloween at Heroes Alliance

The weekend has arrived, but some students decide to go beyond and participate in extra weight room hours in the morning. All hero students are allowed twenty-four hour access to gyms after office hours, which includes weights, tracks, pool, and courts. However, quirk related training must be approved and supervised by a professor. Not abiding by these rules and restrictions will result in suspension or potential expulsion from the program.

Waking up to his third alarm, Kaminari rolls out from under the covers. He drags his feet, the sleep not leaving his eyes yet while digging through a pile of clothing on the floor for shorts and a clean t-shirt. A yawn escapes, he stretches his arms, and peers over to his desk. Laying next to his LED keyboard is an open box of a half eaten Sour Cream and Onion Glico Pretz and an energy drink can with about enough liquid for one sip left. A perfect and quick breakfast before there is pounding at his door, striking fear at his core.

Dropping his snack, "Wait, hold on! I'm getting my socks on!"

"Dude, relax. It's just me, the other guys are already heading to the lockers."

Kaminari sighs with relief, hopping over Monster cans, clothes, and other miscellaneous items to open his room door to see Sero on the other side. Headphones wrap his friend's neck. Oversized sweatshirt, shirt, shorts, and a backpack swung over one shoulder.

"C'mon, Bakugo is already pissed off."

The duo promptly head toward the elevator to ride down to the common area.

"When isn't he?"

"Good point." Sero chuckles, "He turned down some girl this morning is what Kirishima told me."

"WHA- another one? I know the tournament was weeks ago, but how are they still pining over him?"

Exiting the elevator, "No idea.", Sero pats his pockets, "Shit, I forgot my phone upstairs. Gimme yours, I'll take the stairs and be back down."

Kaminari obliges the request, handing over his phone. Students are told before even coming onto campus that they need to download an identification app through the university so they may navigate with ease. That includes access to dorms, floors, activities, even the entrance gates.

When Sero leaves, Kaminari stops in his tracks. Lounging in the common area is Ashido, Fukuda, and Uraraka is stepping out of the kitchen with a small platter of food for the three of them to share. Taking long strides, he leans against the back and crosses his arms over the top of the couch.

"Hey, you're girls. How does Bakugo get all the attention, and I can't even get a text back?"

Fukuda takes off her headphones, "What?"

"It's not like he ever hides the fact that he's a total dickhead, but they keep crawling back."

Uraraka taps her fingertip against her bottom lip, "Well-"

"You can see why I'm confused, right?"

"It's because he's unattainable." Ashido answers bluntly.

"Unattainable..?"

Fukuda taps away on her phone. "Well yeah, wanting something you can't have makes it that much more desirable."

"And that's why no girl pays attention to you." Ashido continues.

"Wait, really?"

Uraraka waves both her hands, "Guys, no! Kaminari, what you need to do is prioritize on being your authentic self."

Ashido blinks, "Didn't we just go over why that isn't working?"

Uraraka jabs her friend's shoulder, "We still need to encourage him though-"
