"What does learning quadratic formulas have to do with being a hero?!" Mina sunk her face into the side of the hospital bed.

"Nothing. Even the hero school still has to follow some education standards," Sasuke's eyes stayed glued to the papers as he lay back in the hospital bed.

"Stupid education standards! Multi-step algebra isn't gonna help me fling acid at bad guys!"

"Hehe, you're right, but what can you do?"

"I'm gonna become Prime Minister and ban all math past percentages! Discounts and bargains are important!"

Sasuke looked up from his paper at her. "You'd probably make dancing classes mandatory in its place."

She stuck out her tongue, "People would love that over algebra, and don't sound like that, you're a dancer too."

"Martial Arts isn't dancing."

"Eh… it's like a style of it. I could teach you some of my style sometime! Like when we were kids."

"I'm not in shape to dance."

"You're cleared to leave the hospital tomorrow."

"I gotta focus on these studies."

"Then we can do it afterward. Come on, I'll give you hands-on assistance." She made a sly grin and curled her fingers. 

Sasuke rolled his eyes and blushed. Mina sighed, "Fine, but I'll get you to do it one day. You really gotta let yourself have more fun."

"Training is more important as long as people like AFO and the League are still out there."

"I mean yeah... But all the time? Don't you miss having fun like when we were kids binging movies?"

Sasuke paused thinking of the few times he skipped out on training to hang out with her. A smile curled up on his face.

"You'll never be strong by slacking off, Sasuke! Get back to your training! We're counting on you."

His father's voice made the smile curl back down flat. "... I do..." He wordlessly continued his studies.

A couple of days later, the written test was graded and given back to students. Mina placed fifteenth, and Sasuke himself placed fifth and made his entrance during the lunch rush. 

Uraraka spotted him as soon as he got a tray, "Sasuke! There you are! Get your butt over here!"

Sasuke trudged over to their table and Midoriya shot out of his seat, "Sasuke! You're out of the hospital!"

"Yeah, it seems like I didn't miss anything important."

Iida spoke up, "We're glad to see you well. Everyone was worried."

Hagekure added, "Yeah, even Bakugo was worried!"

Bakugo yelled from across the cafeteria, "NO THE FUCK I WASN'T! I DON'T CARE!"

Hagekure giggled and whispered, "He didn't want anyone to notice."

"Uh... Right. Anyway, I heard some of you got attacked the same night I was."

Todoroki replied, "Yeah, but it was more of a city-wide attack we got caught up in than an ambush, like in your case."

"The hero killer almost got us, there were too many close saves. Thanks again, for all the dual training we did. I would have been a goner if I didn't know full cowling."

Asui chipped in, "Speaking of that, aren't both the attacks connected somehow? Nomu's belong to the League of Villains, and they're the only ones that have attacked UA students so far."
