A/N: I'm just going to put this at the beginning here, I have some ideas for other stories, but I'm not sure if I should wait for this one to be done or start having two going at once. What do you think I should do? Being completely honest, if I start a second story, my update schedule will probably be worse than it already is, seeing how I'd be working on two stories at once.

Kuroza sits in her seat in the classroom, waiting for class to start, and after everyone is in their seats Aizawa walks in. "Alright everyone, I have one announcement for class starts. In one week will be the final exams before summer break" "Final exams?! I'm not ready for them though..." "Don't worry, they should be easy if you pay attention in class" "Seriously Uncle? That's... definitely what you'd do, never mind" "Oh, right. There will be a summer camp for the first few weeks of summer, and only those who pass will be allowed to go" Kuroza stares at her uncle, knowing full well that this is a lie, everyone will be going regardless of passing or not. "Oh! A summer camp?! That's sounds fun!" The class is buzzing with nerves and excitement, "Alright, I know you all are excited, but you first have to pass the final exams, which means you need to pay attention in your classes" The class dies down, and let him start the lesson.

After the class is over, everyone starts walking to the cafeteria while talking. "I'm not sure how well I'm going to do on the exams man..." "Heh, I don't have to worry that much... summer camp here I come!" Kuroza can see Mineta drooling, and ignores it, not wanting to know what he's thinking. "Azugo...?" "Yeah Ashido?" "Would you be willing to help me study? I haven't studied that much with everything going on..." "Sure, why not?" "Sweet! You're the best!" Ashido hugs Kuroza, "Yo, Roza, mind if I join you two?" "Yeah, of course you can Kiri" "A-Azugo?" "Yeah Midoriya? You want to join as well?" "If you don't mind..." "Yeah, of course you can" "Thank you" "No problem man" Kuroza hears Yaoyorozu mention something about hosting a study group at her place, to which the rest of the class agree to join, leaving Kuroza a bit self conscious knowing that the others would enjoy being at Yaoyorozu's house over her own considering the massive gap in wealth. She gets snapped out of her thoughts by Kiri putting his arm around her shoulders, "Don't stress about it Roza, it doesn't matter where we go to study" "I guess you're right, but I won't be upset if any of you would rather go to her place to study" "Azugo, we asked you because you're our friend and know you can help us with studying" She smiles a bit, "Thanks Ashido" "Of course!" The four of them sit down at a table after getting their food, and start eating.

"I wonder what we'll be doing..." "Honestly? With everything going on, I'd say we're going against the teachers" Ashido coughs at that, having been mid bite and not expecting that, "You good?" "Yeah. But going against the teachers? Really?" "It's what makes sense seeing at everything that's happened so far in this semester, the USJ... what happened at Hosu... the LOV in general... we're only first years and are being attacked by actual villains" "I guess that's fair... but there's an odd number off us" "True, there's 21 of us. My best guess is that either we'll be split in groups of two, with one group having three, or groups of three" "I'd say the most likely is that it'll be- Ow..." Kuroza looks up at the person who just hit his elbow into the back of Midoriya's head, "Monoma..." "Azugo, hi" "Why are you here?" "I was bored..." "So you decide to hit your elbow on the back of my friend?" Monoma gets knocked out by someone behind him, "Sorry for him..." "It's no problem, I'm Kuroza Azugo" "Itsuka Kendo. Were you guys talking about the final exams?" "Yeah" "I heard an upperclassmen say that the final exams for their first year was against robots" Kuroza nods, "Thanks for that", Kendo shortly drags Monoma off. She looks ack at her friends, "Hey, maybe I'm wrong about the final exams" "I'm praying that you are..." "You'll be fine Ashido, you may not have the best grades, but you do pretty well at the combat exercises" "Against the teachers though...? I'll be squashed!" "We can do some training as well as studying" "You're a savior!" "Calm down Mina. But Roza is right, we should do some extra training to make sure we are all set. Would it be possible to go to your place after school, Roza?" "Yeah, no problem. Though I'd say go home to change into casual clothes" "Right. I'll make us all a group chat so you can send the address" "Sure"

The rest of the day passes without much issue, and she walks out with her little study group, "See you guys later, don't take too long, got it?" "We won't, don't worry" "Good. I'll send the address when I get home" "Alright, see you!" "Bye Ashido! Bye Midoriya! Bye Kiri" She gives him a small wink before walking off. "Wait what? What was the wink for? Is there something I'm supposed to know?!" She makes her way home, heads inside and takes off her shoes while sending the address on the chat Kiri made for their study group, "I'm home Mom!" She walks into the living room where her mom is waiting on the couch, "Welcome home Sweetie" "I'm going to have some friends over to study for the exams that are next week, is it okay if we use the dinning room table?" "Are you sure you don't want to have it in your room? It'll probably be a while, and you'd want to be somewhere comfy if so" "I guess that's true. I'll go change and start tidying up my room, they probably won't take super long since none of them live too far away, a few minute bus ride at most for at least two of them" "Alright, I'll call you when the first shows up" "Thanks Mom" She gives her mom and hug before heading up to her room to change and start tidying up.

After a few minutes, she hears the doorbell ring and makes her way downstairs, and meets up with her friends in the living room. "Hey guys" "Hey Roza" "Hi Azugo" "Hello" "So... We can either study up in my room, or at the table, I don't mind" "Let's go to your room!" "Calm down Ashido. I'm fine with whichever, Roza" "Let's head to my room then. You all have everything for the classes you need help with?" They all nod, "Alright. See you later Mom" "I'll come up with snacks for you all later" "We aren't little kids Mom" "So is that a no?" "I never said that" Her mom laughs a bit, "I'll be up in a bit then" "Thanks Mom" They head up to her room, "Tada~ Here we are. Let's get started shall we?"

A/N: Sorry for not updating at all last week, as I said in the post on the conversation tab, I've been low on ideas for this. I'll try to get back to a somewhat often update schedule.
