The members of Katsuki's A unit were in their lounge, siting either at the bar taking a drink or on the couch. It was their best moment to brain storm, without having Katsuki telling them how stupid it sounds.

"So.. it's been over a week already.." Mina sighed loudly, thinking of their new task at hand. They had to add to their daily routine as much time as possible dedicated to avoid their boss. And by doing that, they were avoiding to put themselves in a delicate position.

"I've been trying every combination possible.. I can't seem to be able to find any way of breaking the code." Jiro admitted, disappointed in herself. She was supposed to be the best out there and now she learns that not only a 'kid' was able to access all their files and delete them without being detected, but now she was unable to figure out what he had sent in that file.

"Can you let me take a look?" Kaminari asked, she had to agree that observing it from outside of the box point of view might be a good idea.

"Yeah, go ahead." She sighed taking out her tablet and showing him the copy of what she had received.

Everyone of the room were looking over Kaminari's shoulder as they tried to figure it out, to no avail. After over twenty minutes, Kaminari was the only one to be absorbed in the reading. The rest had given up. It was just many numbers and letters.

"Man, I hate to admit it but this Deku guy might just be a genius." Mina complained as she hit her head on the bar and no one could disagree with her. It was true.

"He is one actually, literally, if he was able to go against my coding, I believe that having him on the opposite team is a major danger for us." Jiro explained, leaning back on her bench.

The room went silent, only the clicking of their glass against the counter heard every now and then after taking sips. Kaminari was still at it, and he looked lost. There was about ten pages and it seemed like gibberish. "Kyouka.. What if this wasn't coding?" Kaminari suggested as he finally looked up from it and everyone's attention shifted to him.

Kaminari was connecting the tablet to a printer and started printing. He left the room quickly and a few minutes later he came back with nine pages, one for every member there.

"Everyone, take your own paper, count every hole in it. It's a kindergarden trick but it makes sense. For exemple if it's a eight, there's two holes." He explained handing a paper to everyone there. "Got it?" When everyone nodded in understanding, he continued his explanation.

"If there's a spot, you stop the count and note it down before restarting the count. Double check, triple check it if necessary, the numbers have to be exact. Do the same if there's a semicolon." Kaminari explained and at this point, they were almost desperate to have good news to give to their boss. Now, they simply have to hope Kaminari was right.

Katsuki hadn't left his office the whole day and it was in the groups favour since if it wasn't going to work, it would simply be embarrassing to explain. They were literally using a kids trick to figure out something meant for a mafia boss. It's also kinda insulting, especially for someone as powerful as Katsuki Bakugo.
