You got up in the middle of the night, feeling energetic, for some reason. You sighed and stretched, exiting your room and walking outside towards the forest.

"Man, I'm not even tired...it must've been from that nap I took on the bus, huh? Plus, that trial wasn't even tiring..."

You sat down on top of a large log, scrolling through your phone and taking your earbuds out of your pocket. You suddenly heard crunching footsteps from behind you and whirled around, eyes narrowing until you realized who it was. Bakugo scoffed, sitting down next to you.

  "What, dumbass, can't sleep either?"

  "Yeah, sadly." You sighed, scratching the back of your neck. You turned to the ash-blonde, beaming. "But at least I can sit out here with you now, eh?"

  You stared into his vermillion eyes, which were staring back at you with...passion? And affection?

  "God, you're so cute, Y/N, just shut up and kiss me already." Bakugo murmured, leaning towards you. Your eyes widened and you blushed, also starting to move towards him and slowly close your eyes.

  "Katsuki..."

  "Y/N...Y/N..."

  "Y/N!" You heard someone yell in your ear, and your eyes shot open. You quickly turned your head, face to face with a grinning but tired looking Mina. "We have to get up now."

  "Mmm...what time is it?" You mumbled as you pulled the covers over your head, rubbing your eyes. Mina pulled the covers back off of you, shaking her head.

  "5:30 am." She sighed, pulling you up and dragging you outside. You closed your eyes, groaning.

  'Man, I could've slept more...wait a damn minute. My dream! I could've finished my dream, dammit! I was getting to the good part!'

  "Good morning, everyone." Aizawa said, seemingly not tired at all. You glared at him, envying his energy. "Today we begin a rigorous round of reinforcement training. This trip's mission statement is to strengthen everyone's quirks as a whole, thereby allowing everyone to achieve their temporary licenses. This is preparation to stand against and up to live action hostility and aggression from your enemy. Prepare your minds and hearts."

  Aizawa turned to Bakugo, tossing him a softball. "With that said, Bakugo, try throwing this."

  Bakugo caught the ball, staring at it as he clutched it in his hand. "This is...from the physical strength exam."

  "Your records indicate you recorded a toss of 705.2 meters at the time of your admittance. Let's see how much you've improved."

  A grin grew on your face as Bakugo stepped forward, and you cupped your hands over your mouth. "You can do it, Katsuki!"

  Bakugo glanced at you for a moment, then smirked, making your heart thump. He turned his body, staring up at the sky. "Hup, and a..."

  He flung the ball into the air with tremendous strength, a large cloud of smoke encircling it. Your H/C hair blew backwards out of your face, and you felt mildly surprised. "DROP DEAD!!"

  'Drop...dead...'

  Aizawa's phone beeped, and he glanced down at it before holding it up to the class. "709.6 meters."

  You blinked in surprise, tilting your head. "Huh? I thought it was more than that..."

  "In three months, you have all gained a lot of experience. And of course, you have certainly grown. But that growth has been mostly emotional and technical. Now the time has come to concentrate on physical, as well. As you can see, your quirks themselves have only improved, at best, by a marginal amount...so, starting today, we'll focus on upgrading your quirks."

  Aizawa grinned, eyes widening. "I will be pushing you beyond your limits...so try not to die on me."
