All Might stood in front of them with a tired cough. Class 1A stood on a platform which looked over a large space full of industrial stuff. It was one of Nezu's grounds, meaning it was full of surprises.

"Damn, he old," Tsuki commented in the silence.

The silence dragged along as All Might wondered if he had heard that right.

Then Arawaru burst out laughing.

"Ah— Tsuki, detention! Don't just say that!!" All Might panicked.

From a corner walked Aizawa.
"Technically she didn't break any rules," Aizawa said as he neared All Might, "Let's start class."

Gyro gave Tsuki a high five.
This was bound to be good, Tsuki knew. Hero exercise with full sleep? She was going to wipe everyone out.

"We will play a game of tag!" All Might said, "One of you will be it, and the rest will try to catch up! You'll be allowed to use you're quirk!"

Aizawa nodded. "All of you can use your quirk."

"That's not how tag works," Papillon said confused. "Usually it's the other way around, right?"

"It's not?" Tsuki wondered, "I've never actually played it."

"Ohmygodwhat?" Behind them Midoryia spoke up in one breath.

"That's you're biggest concern?" Jirou wondered, "They can use their quirks!"

Gyro smiled. This was his time to shine, huh.
One by one they would get chased by heroes, it would be something the four students were practiced in.

A loud giggle was heard.

Tsuki was having the time of her life!
She jumped over a wall smoothly, having the others climb over it clumsily. Next she balanced on some thin metal poking out of the building, connecting to the one next to it. It led through the two buildings and Tsuki was planning to see what was inside the building.

"Don't follow! If you fall you'll fucking die!!" Someone shouted and Tsuki realised some people feared death.

"She's crazy..."

Tsuki looked back as she stood in between the two buildings, "What? You're giving up?"

The group of hero students glanced at each other.

Someone with a tail stepped onto the metal support, his tail raised as he searched for the best balance.

"There you go!" Tsuki cheered, "Come on! I've got to explore this place!"

Quickly she jumped along the support, being sure to hit the places she planned. The person behind her let out a yell as the metal moved underneath him slightly.

"She's definitely crazy."

The person didn't shy back though. He ran after Tsuki, using the balance he had. Tsuki slipped through a window, finding a system of objects to balance on. Fun, she thought as the floor was rather close underneath it.

A hand poked through the window behind her and Tsuki jumped back. Her feet found a rope behind her and she clutched a pole.
"Don't do that!" Tsuki said annoyed, "That's no fun! Games are supposed to be fun!"

The person climbed through the window, giving Tsuki a small glare. "This is a game to you?"

"It's tag!" Tsuki smiled, "I'm not passing away the opportunity."

The person frowned before he ran to Tsuki. She chuckled and jumped away. As the two climbed up and down the building, a sudden buzz sounded.

"Time is up! Tsuki wins!" All Might sounded over the speakers.

"Yay!!" Tsuki threw her hands in the air.

"Ah, well I tried."

Tsuki leaned back, letting herself hang upside down by her knees. She crossed her arms. "Don't worry, I've lived all my life running away. I'm just too good!"

"Ah, of course." The person followed her move with a smile. He held out his hand and Tsuki stared at it. "I'm Ojiro, nice to meet you."

Tsuki hesitated, but shook his hand. It felt odd to touch a stranger, but she got through it.

"Did she just make a friend?" Papillon said as she looked up at the screen, her eyes didn't give it away, but she felt very conflicted about that.

"No..." Gyro said, "I mean, probably not, right? Maybe they just agreed to hate each other?"

"Pfff," Arawaru laughed, "You're both idiots."

"Hm?"

"Tsuki made a friend, so what?" Arawaru continued, "It's her choice." And her consequence if it went wrong.

Gyro was up. He was one of the ones chasing and he had a plan. He sat on an obstacle as he swung his feet underneath him.

"Guys, I'm not in the mood for running," Gyro complained to the students as they made a plan.

They looked up, but then decided on ignoring him.

Gyro could almost smile.

"Start!"

Midoryia was quick, Gyro knew. This was why he waved around a glass shard. Nobody stopped him, even if he put it close to a camera.

"Okay then," he chuckled and the world around him became black. There was the sound of glass cutting his skin, but he knew exactly what happened.

It felt cold when Gyro found his feet hitting the concrete underneath him. He stood on the start.

Quickly he reached out with his numb hand.

"Wha—" A voice squeaked.

Gyro didn't feel anything as all his energy was spend on just staying up on his feet. The buzzer gave away he had hit the target. He had outran the heroes, and won.

Midoryia fell right on his face, probably having tried to avoid the sudden attack.

"Without running!" Gyro told nobody in particular. His vision gave black spots and he crouched down. "I'm gonna take a nap..." And he was gone, fainted.
