Aiko was walking around the dorm when she heard some stomping behind her. She turned to see Bakugo storming toward her before he grabbed her arm and started dragging her away. "Wha-"

"We're training," he grumbled as he pulled her to Gym Gamma.

Aiko knew better than to ask questions, secretly glad that she was with him, seeing as she had been lonely due to Haru spending more time with his sister on their days off. "Okay, and why does it have to be now? Didn't you and Todoroki just finish your extra lessons for the night?" Aiko asked.

Hearing his name pissed Bakugo off, and so he threw Aiko toward the locker room to change into her gym uniform as he went toward his own. She didn't really understand what was going on, but decided now wasn't the best time to ask. If she were to guess, something happened during the training that pissed Bakugo off, and now he needed to let off steam. "Well at least he's learned the power of healthy venting," she muttered to herself as she exited the locker room after changing.

Her icy blue eyes locked onto Bakugo's crimson ones before she sighed and got into a fighting stance. "Quirks or no?" she asked.

"Quirks," he stated.

'Oh so he's in a bad mood,' she thought as she gave him a nod. They started fighting as the day's training flashed through Bakugo's mind.

"I swear if we're taking care of brats again..." Bakugo muttered as he and Todoroki walked toward the training center. 

"It's a skill that we needed to learn," Todoroki stated, "Heroes must be able to get along with children. You saw how Gessei and Midoriya interacted with Eri."

Bakugo scoffed, "Yeah yeah I saw..."

Something about Aiko spending so much time with Midoriya since their work study was really starting to piss him off. "Did you say Gessei? She's an incredibly beautiful girl. Next time I see her, I'm going to try asking her out again," Yoarashi stated.

Bakugo and Todoroki both tensed. They turned around to see Yoarashi following them, alongside Camie. "No offense, but I don't imagine anyone saying yes to going on a date with you," Camie stated, "You're too intense, ya know?"

"You said ask her out... again? You asked her out?" Todoroki asked.

"Yes, at the licensing exam when we were the only ones in the Anteroom. She declined," Yoarashi stated bluntly.

Both UA students felt everything within them tense as they imagined the possibility. "Alright fish turds, get in line!" Gang Orca exclaimed.

All of them fell into line as Gang Orca singled everyone out, calling their performances terrible. "You're going to be graduating from this program in one single month! Yet none of you are even remotely ready!" he exclaimed.

"Sir yes sir!" the students replied.

Gang Orca then split them into groups of three, Yoarashi, Todoroki, and Bakugo ending up in a group together. "Today we are doing a rescue exercise," Gang Orca said as he had each group line up in front of screens that displayed faux villain facilities that were littered throughout the training facility, "In front of you is the facility you and your group will be raiding to rescue a hostage."

The screen in front of Bakugo, Todoroki, and Yoarashi changed to reveal a training dummy tied up in a room of the facility. All three boys tensed at the sight of their training dummy, seeing as it had also been dressed with a long black wig that was tied in a ponytail, a tank top, and shorts. 'Gessei,' all three boys thought, their minds imagining her in this situation. "Sometimes you will be rescuing someone who was a high-value hostage to the villains! Your task is to not only find your designated civilian, but also to protect them from further harm, and to evacuate them to the safe zone over here as quickly as you can!" Gang Orca exclaimed.
