They all agreed that they'd help Hagakure through the school in turns. There was no use in trying to haul a giant bed through the halls. It might not fit in some areas and it would slow them down overall. Todoroki volunteers to go first and she's thankful for his bravery once again. It's surprising to her that he'd risk so much for her even though they aren't that close. She keeps her arm wrapped around her shoulder.

Kendo insists they leave a note for Recovery Girl to show that Hagakure wasn't taken by a villain. She scribbles on a piece of paper and leaves it on the cot she was on before leaving with the rest of the group. They have two options to try and leave school grounds: the front door or the back one. Both have their own cons, with the front door being where most of the villains came in and still reside. On the other hand the back door could still have that nomu trying to get in.

The three discuss where they should go, taking into consideration how far and long Hagakure could walk. She doesn't want to be the reason they're slowed down and offers to stay behind again. She'd realized Mr. Aizawa was still in his classroom and she could easily stay with him until this whole thing blows over. They all tell her no. She deserves to escape just as much as the rest of them.

"I'm sorry... I just don't want to slow anyone down." She says slipping from Todoroki's grasp. He insists that he can continue to carry her but she refuses. Hagakure wants to give a break to both herself and Todoroki.

"You're not doing anything wrong. It's a minor injury that can be treated the minute we get out." He says to her with an unusual concerned expression.

"Guys we still have to decide which fire we're jumping into. I suggest the back door since it's more uncommon and the nomu should be gone by now." Kendo says, keeping a look out for possible villains that could be lurking around any corner.

"But if it isn't then it'll be harder to get Hagakure away from the danger. We should really take the front door you guys." Mina chimes in.

"Isn't there a chance that the front doors still filled with villains?" Kendo asks.

"I don't really care which way we go as long as Hagakure's safe and we get out."

Kendo asks what Tokoyami, Todoroki, and Deku think about the situation. It wasn't that they couldn't fight off either the nomu or the villains it was that it would be harder to do so. That's not including that someone would have to cover Hagakure since she isn't in a position to defend herself properly. She again asks to be left behind and again they tell her that it isn't happening. She doesn't want to be detrimental to the group in any way.

Tokoyami suggests they go through the back door thinking a nomu would be easier to deal with than a bunch of villains. Todoroki wants whatever's best for Hagakure and Deku agrees with this. She's the one who's life is really at risk. No one knows what her quirk is and she isn't sure it is Toga's anyways. It's not like she can try it out anyway. If it's something else, she won't know how useful it'll be.

She opts for the back door in the end. She's sure taking on a nomu would be easier for this group of young heroes in the making than a barrage of villains. Kendo replaces Todoroki's spot of holding up Hagakure and they're off Mina still a bit weary of taking the back door. It could only be a 'secret' for so long.

They make it to the back door without any complication. Everyone was on their guard as much as they could. This entire thing has been going for hours and they were all bound to get escape soon. Escape is the only option as some of their willpower depletes.

Quiet.

There isn't a sound coming from the back door. Deku puts his head to the door that had been blocked on the outside by rubble. It doesn't seem like anyone's around. This time everyone pitches in except for Hagakure of course.

Rubble is pushed back to reveal the school grounds. The woods are silent. Kendo goes back for Hagakure and everyone forms a circle around her for protection.

All of their quirks aren't on the defensive. Though it's east to argue with Kendo who's switched with her classmate Setsuna Tokage. She's able to split her body into 50 pieces. Kendo wasn't able to get more than five from the practice earlier in the school day. It could come useful if she's attacked as a dodging mechanic but now it's not much more. They'll all try their hardest to protect Hagakure with what they're given because that's what heroes do for others.

Yes this is technically a day late. No I don't have an excuse. 420 awesome points cause you're so cool. I love how they're like no one left behind except Monoma. Screw him. We do not care. Anyway. Thursday awaits.
