Chapter 52: Planning the Festival

The air in the classroom is buzzing with excitement. Mina is showing off her dance moves, and everyone’s throwing out ideas for the festival like confetti at a parade. I watch the discussions unfold from my seat, quietly observing how everyone jumps in with their opinions.

Mina’s dancing is impressive, and I can tell Midoriya’s already thinking about how to incorporate it into his own training. The class is divided, throwing ideas like "maid café," "hero quiz," and "mochi shop," but nothing really seems to stick.

As more ideas are thrown around, Aizawa-Sensei finally steps in. His voice is steady but firm. “You have until tomorrow to make a decision. Otherwise, you’ll be doing a public lecture.”

Everyone groans at the thought, and the pressure starts to rise. I glance at Aizawa-Sensei, who’s leaning against the wall, arms crossed, eyes half-closed as if he’s ready to nap. But I know better—he’s always paying attention.

Later, back at Heights Alliance, the conversation about the festival continues. Everyone is throwing out more ideas, but they’re still not quite coming together. It’s loud, chaotic, and I can feel the tension building.

“Maybe we should just let Mina handle the dance,” Mineta suggests lazily, reclining on the couch.

“I already said I’m willing to teach you guys,” Mina shoots back, crossing her arms.

Hagakure chimes in, “But we need music! Kyoka, you can play, right?”

Kyoka looks uncomfortable. “I don’t know, I mean, music’s just a hobby for me. It’s not really hero-related…”

“Yeah, but you’re amazing at it!” Kaminari blurts out, earning a bashful glance from Kyoka.

The conversation stalls, and everyone seems to be waiting for the next breakthrough idea. I look around the room, seeing the frustration growing.

I clear my throat, standing up. “Why don’t we combine the two?” I suggest. “Mina’s dancing and Kyoka’s music. Something fun that’ll let everyone blow off steam but also showcase the class’s talents. We could make it a real performance—music, dancing, maybe even some light effects with our Quirks.”

The room goes quiet for a second as they mull over the idea. Todoroki is the first to nod, “That could work.”

Mina’s eyes light up. “Yeah, we can totally do that! I’ll teach everyone the moves, and Kyoka, you can handle the music!”

Kyoka hesitates, but after a few more words of encouragement from her classmates, she agrees. The tension in the room starts to ease as everyone gets on board with the plan.

From the corner of my eye, I catch Aizawa-Sensei watching from the doorway. His usual half-lidded gaze meets mine for just a second, and there’s something in his eyes—approval, maybe? It’s fleeting, but it’s enough to make my heart skip a beat. He might not say it out loud, but I know when he’s noticed something.

As the others dive into more detailed planning, I feel a small sense of satisfaction settle in. Maybe I’m not the loudest in the room, but that’s okay. I’ll leave that to Mina and the others.

For now, I just want to make sure everything goes smoothly. And maybe—just maybe—catch Aizawa-Sensei’s attention once more.
