Y/n and Sero shared a look as Mina cried with Kaminari, Sato, and Kirishima beside her.

"Everyone...I'm looking forward...to hearing your stories...about how camp was." The pink girl hiccuped.

"Maybe there's a plot twist and you guys can still go." Y/n tried.

"Y/n, by saying that out loud you're just jinxing them." Sero put a hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear.

"I know but look at them. I gotta throw them a bone."

"He said whoever failed the exams would have to skip training camp and live in summer school hell. We didn't pass the practicals so we're doomed! Don't you get it Y/n!" Kaminari leaped at Y/n who grabbed the back of his shirt to stop him from touching her.

"You're literally a dog." She told him. "Aizawa also said that at the beginning of the year when he threatened to expel us. What did he call it?" She looked at Sero.

"A rational deception I think."

"Exactly." She looked back at the blond with the black streak. "And only someone like you would fall for it." She subtly glanced at the other 3 as well.

"Well, I'm not sure I'll get to go either." Sero pointed at himself.

The h/c haired girl looked at him. "But I thought you passed."

"Only thanks to Mineta." He grumbled. "I was passed out, and since we don't know how they're scoring stuff I might have flunked."

"At least bring us back camp souvenirs please!" Kaminari wailed.

The door slammed open, revealing Aizawa. "Once the bell rings you should be in your seats. Unfortunately there are a few of you who did not pass your final exams, so when it comes to the training camp in the woods...everyone is going!"

Y/n reeled back at the unnatural smile on her teacher's face as the 4 celebrated in happiness.

"The good news is no one bombed the written exam, five failed the practical, badly. Two teams of course, and Sero failed as well."

Y/n snickered as Sero groaned. "I knew it. Mineta made it to the gate but I didn't do near enough to pass."

"Allow me to explain: for the practical battles, the teachers made sure to leave a way for the students to win, otherwise you never would have stood a chance. We were interested in observing how each of you worked together and approached the task at hand."

"But didn't you promise the teachers wouldn't be holding back?" Ojiro questioned.

"That was just to get you on edge, besides, the training camp will focus on strength. Those who failed need those lessons the most. We were never going to separate you." He grinned that weird grin again. "That was just a rational deception we used."
