Prodigies - My Hero Academia

No Rain on This Parade

Class 1-A files into homeroom bright and early, taking their seats when the professor enters. Big, yellow sleeping bag slung over his shoulder, Aizawa stands behind his desk. His face is sickly devoid of color, cold sweat beading behind his shaggy hair. 

"As you may know, the School Festival is coming up."

Kirishima raises his hand, "Hold on, Sensei, are you sure this is okay?"

Kaminari turns to face his classmate, "Hush, Kirishima. Don't ruin this!"

"Think about it though. We could experience another break in or attack." Kirishima argues.

"You're right. However, there are students here that are not in the hero course. You get the spotlight every year during the Sports Fest. This is for everyone else. Even though it doesn't get as much attention, it's still a yearly event they all look forward to. Many of your peers are feeling stressed out by the current conditions here at U.A. . Tensions are high between classes. That's why this year the Dean agreed that we will only have the fest open to students and staff. With a few exceptions. You may not be the focus this time, but your class needs to participate with some type of event. You need to decide what you want to do today."

Aizawa drops his sleeping bag onto the floor, unzipping the front and sitting himself between the rolls of fabric. Promptly zipping the sleeping bag up to his chin, the professor rolls over and falls asleep in an instant. The class as a whole is left to question how he is able to accomplish this. Taking this moment, Akechi and Ida stand from their desks.

"Alright, we will take it from here! Let's start. First, we will have a brief brainstorming session. If you have a suggestion, please raise your hand." Ida announces from the front of the classroom. 

The students do not hesitate, creating an eruption of shouts and raising hands.

Amidst the shouting, Ida's hand falls into a chopping motion, pointing to a classmate in the back, "Yes, Kaminari!"

"A maid cafe!"

"Maids..so we'd be serving others. Not bad."

Asui glances in Kaminari's direction, "Ribbit."

Uraraka stiffens in her seat and audibly gasps.

"What'd she say?" Kaminari asks.

Hagakure raises her hand, "A fun house!"

"I don't know what that is, but I'm sure it's interesting." Ida notes.

Uraraka raises her hand, "A mochi shop!"

"I see, something Japanese."

Kirishima raises his hand, "An arm-wrestling tournament!"

Writing on the board, "That's intense!", Akechi comments.

Sato raises his hand, "A crepe stand!"

"It's great for eating on the go." Ida comments.

Ashido stands from her seat and poses, "A dance!"

Midoriya raises his hand, "A hero quiz!"

Ida nods, "That's so you, Midoriya."

"Let's sing!" Asui suggests.

"How charming.

Koda flinches when he is called on, "A petting zoo."

"Hand-made soba." Todoroki suggests.

"That is your favorite."

"A death match!" Bakugo shouts.

Tokoyami crosses his arms, "A feast of the students of darkness."
