Next Day

"Check, check! Check it out!" Mina says before break dancing in the middle of class before homeroom starts. Of course Mineta complained about her wearing shorts under her uniform only to start getting smacked by Hagakure.

"So Ashido's impressive command over her body comes from dancing," Midoriya flips through his notebook, "She throws her whole body into action. I wonder if I can do it."

"Get her to teach you!" Kami suggests.

"Yeah boyeeee! Let's dance!!" she says.

"Kinda like Sato with his sweets, right?" Kami remarks, "It's great when your hobby comes in handy for hero stuff! How cool."

"For sure." I respond.

"Speaking of hobbies," Kami gets off my desk, "What about yours, Jiro?"

"Hey! Knock it off!"

"Your room was like a musical instrument store." Kami goes on, "I'd even say that it's way more than just a hobby for you."

"Sheesh! Let's just forget about that whole 'King of the Rooms' thing, okay?!"

"Nope!" Kami continues "Yours is a Pro's room for sure! I mean seriously!"

Jiro points one of her jacks at my boyfriend "I said stop it!" before going to sit down.

"What did I do?" Kami asks, coming back over to 'Toshi and I.

"You were pushing it a little." I shrug as the bell rings.

"It's School Festival time." Aizawa starts homeroom.

"Another SLE!!" The Class cheers as Tsu asks about visiting Eri as the rest of the class keeps cheering.

"For real?!" Kirishima stands up "We're doing this despite what's going on in the world?!" startling the majority.

"A prudent viewpoint." Aizawa says, "But remember that UA consists of more than just the Hero Course. The Sports Festival is where the Hero Course has its chance to shine. So the school festival highlights everyone else. This doesn't get the same level of attention, but it's meant to be a fun event for the rest of the school. Not to mention, the new dorm system that started with the dorm system is a source of stress for many."

"Plus," Toya says, "if you just focus on the bad and don't take breaks for fun you'll get burnt out way too quickly."

"Right. Which is why we can't just simply cancel the event." Aizawa slouches down the wall, "This won't be like in the past, in that the festival will be open only to students, staff and a small group of outsiders. We aren't competing for the spotlight this time around, but each class will still have an exhibition of some kind. Today you'll be deciding what that is." before our teacher falls asleep.

As soon as Iida asked for ideas, the class erupts.

"Let's do a maid café!" Kami suggests.

"You're not getting me in a maid dress, Kami." I state to him before Mineta starts suggesting a strip club. But Tsu tied him up; our class reps wrote our ideas down on the board. Of course Shoto suggests a Soba stall. I'd probably be the one cooking it since I have restaurant experience from helping Yuki at Azi's.

"Let's eliminate the unreasonable, unfeasible and nonspecific ones." Momo says, wiping off a few, like the strip club.

Someone asks if we could combine all the food into one, though Asian Cuisine in general and Crepes don't really fit. Yuki could pull it off. Homeroom ends without an idea and a warning if we don't come up with something by tomorrow morning or we'll do a regular class open house.
