Heroes of Tomorrow

Part 46~Brainstorming

Mina grinned as she stretched out her hands. "Hey, guys! C'mere! Check this!" Mina began to dance as Hagakure cheered her on. "I'm a breakdancing queen! Clock this breakdown!"

"She's obviously practised extensively," Aoyama muttered as Momo awed at Mina's moves.

"I bet Ashido's dancing skills end up being super useful in hand-to-hand combat. When it comes to a fight, she would have complete control over every part of her body," Midoriya announced as Akiko chuckled.

"Not everything has to benefit our hero work."

"Says the girl who used to make everything training," Uzu joked as Akiko avoided his gaze.

"I've changed."

Akiko stepped back as Mina started to show Midoriya how to do her dance moves. He and Aoyama were terrible. Akiko laughed, hiding behind her hand.

"This reminds me of how Sato's always baking stuff," Kaminari added. "It's a hobby but also helps out with hero work. Man. So smart. Speaking of hobbies, I bet yours is the same, Jiro."

Jiro frowned. "What? I don't know..."

"Oh, come on. Your dorm room looks like a recording studio! One look and I could tell music is your whole life."

"Drop it, moron. Forget about what you saw in there."

"Really? I think it's super cool you can play so many instruments," Uzu interrupted as Momo nodded.

"It shows your dedication and skill," Momo praised as Jiro blushed under their attention. She hid herself behind her hands as Kaminari smirked.

"Yeah, you should totally start a jam se-" he stopped as Jiro threatened to stab him.

"Just shut up." She walked away as Kaminari gaped.

"What, no fair. You two weren't threatened! You shouldn't give special treatment to them just because they're your partners."

Momo blushed the second Kaminari said the words as Uzu laughed. "That's literally the difference between being friends and being partners, Kaminari. Partners get to do stuff friends don't."

Momo blushed more as her mind started shutting down. Jiro blushed too. "Uzu! They're going to take that the wrong way!"

Uzu tilted his head before he realised and shut up.

"Moron," Akiko grinned as Uzu huffed. Akiko went quiet when she saw Naka walking in. She avoided his gaze, focusing on the notebook in front of her.

"It's coming. The school festival," Aizawa announced in the most deadpan of ways.

The class cheered, pure excitement at getting to do something normal.

"Hold on, Mr Aizawa. Are you sure this is okay?" Kirishima stared in horror as Kaminari shushed him.

"Don't you ruin this!"

"Think about it, though. There are villains everywhere right now!"

Aizawa huddled into his sleeping bag, pulling the zip up. "You're right. That's a reasonable point. However, there are students here besides those in the hero course. You get the spotlight every year at the sports fest. This is for everyone else. The support course, general studies and don't forget the business course students. This doesn't get as much attention as the sports fest, but it's still the yearly event they all look forward to. Many of your peers are feeling stressed out by the current conditions here at UA. Especially the dorm system, which had to be adopted because of the hero course."
