"Alright, attention everyone!" Iida called out to the class, all in casual wear. He himself wore a striped polo with khakis and a belt.
"So weird seeing each other in anything other than school clothes." Hagakure muttered. "It's always either the uniform or our costumes."
"I mean Jiro looks the same as usual." Shoji spoke up. It was true, the girl had the same punk style as her costume.
"With the permission of Yaoyorozu-" The class turns, a nod confirming as they all turned back to him. Proper order of authority took precedence after all. "-I have made a list of all the things we need to have a fun and joyous day at the beach, as well as gathering supplies for our Training Camp! Each of you will be assigned to a large quantity of a singular object!"
"Do we really need all this?" Iruma asked. "I just walk there and back with shoes and a t-shirt, and I've never had problems."
"The fact that you've survived that long with only that both amazes and frightens us, Iruma." Uraraka stated a very obvious fact. "You of all people need everything on this list, the point of the training camp is training, not survival."
"But I already survived." He questioned.
"But if you're so focused on survival you'll never get to experience the best stuff!" Kaminari and Mineta placed hands on him. "Sand castles, surfing, swimming!"
"Sunbathing, Volleyball, Beach babes!" Clearly they had more nefarious things on their minds.
"For once, you don't have to think about anything other than relaxing in the sun, Iruma-kun. It's summer!" Hagakure continued. "And we have more than enough money to enjoy the break, so you don't have to be busy with all your jobs anymore!" She nudged herself closer to the boy. "And I'll be sure to rub the sunscreen in all the hard to reach places~." When did the girl become as lewd as Mineta?
"I have split up teams based on your skill sets, desirable drives, and gender."
"Why do we have to split up on gender?" Uraraka asked.
"Because a lot of students require swimsuits …" He turned to Kaminari, Mineta, and Hagakure. "And do you honestly trust them?"
"You have a fair point on Mineta, no doubt about that." Momo agreed with his assessment. "Though, I wouldn't..mind if Denki helped me out a bit.".....The high standards this class started off with were decreasing day by day. He should've taken Iruma's offer for the vice presidency.
==
"Denki?" Momo asked, pulling out two swimsuits. "Should I do the one piece, or the two piece?"
"I um, I think maybe …" He was cute and flustered like that. Her mind briefly went back to pages of First Love Memories, particularly of the main couple's first date at a waterpark. Realistically, she knew it would be improbable to replicate the exact same scenarios, but one could dream. "Whatever makes you more comfortable."
"Our class is just getting more and more insane." Tsu just picked out a school based swimsuit. "You don't feel you're moving a bit fast? He's not Iruma."
"Hey!" Both Uraraka and Hagakure shouted at the same time.
"Eh, she's got a point, the guy doesn't seem to understand relationships beyond platonic level." Ashido shrugged. She wasn't completely wrong, although Iruma had a weird habit of assuming other people were in non-existent relationships.
"Oh, I think this might work well." The boy in question picked out a school suit like Tsu. "If you wear this you'll get a lot of protection on you."
"Thank you, someone who sees the practical." The frog girl agreed.
"Oh, you don't have to get anything too fancy, Iruma-kun, just go topless…" Hagakure is not subtle at all. "..all those muscles…"
"Iruma…topless….those broad shoulders.." Now Uraraka was fantasizing. Hopefully love triangles weren't as violent as fiction made them out to be.
"And this is why our class is full of perverts." Jiro sighed. "Hey Kaminari, wake up."
"The One Piece!" He shouted, other women in the store looking at the electric boy weirdly. "I um, mean, it's less likely to fall off, you know?"
"So thoughtful, I'll go ahead." Trying to be respectful, thoughtful and cute at the same time. "Now should I go for the blue or red?"
"Red, it matches your eyes better." Denki was quite the flatterer.
"I'll go change … I want your opinion on it afterwards." With a wink she went into the changing booth.
"Seriously, what did you talk about in that city?" She could hear Tsu ask him.
"Nothing too special, we just had a moment to get to know each other better, that's all." That's exactly what made it so special. At that moment, she wasn't a cute face or a piece of meat someone wanted to show off like a dog in a little costume. Her money, her body didn't matter, it was just..Momo and Denki in that room, and nothing else.
"Hey um … Kaminari, I wanted to talk to you actually." She could hear Jiro as she changed. "I just wanted to say … sorry, alright?"
"Sorry?" Denki asked, confused.
"Yeah, sorry for constantly calling you stupid, and a moron, and dunce face, and.." Wow, the girl did insult him quite a bit during class.
"And jamming-whey?" The boy asked with a tone that indicated he wasn't all that upset.
"Yeah…and Jamming-whey too.." ..Suddenly she didn't like how soft Jiro's voice was getting for some reason. "You're a pretty cool guy, Kaminari. You really showed Aizawa a thing or two, zapping him unconscious."
"Oh, thanks." He spoke jovially. "You did pretty cool too, getting Koda to talk to bugs. If he did that back in the forest I couldn't imagine what kind of kaiju we would have gotten."
"Yeah, I think he's proof no one in this class is sane."
"You mean there wasn't any doubt about it before?" The two of them were laughing…Denki and another girl were laughing…without her…. NO! Don't fall down that hole. Remember what you mean to him. Strong, smart, and beautiful. You don't need something like jealousy to mess it up … besides, you have a weapon here and now.
"So Denki-" She pushed open the door. "Thoughts?"
The boy was stunned stupid. No insult to him or anything, that was just all she could describe his look of infatuation as he stood there silent and smiling. Looks weren't the main factor, but they didn't hurt to have either.
"I think it looks nice." She looked at Jiro, who smiled at her. "A little revealing, but the theme and color fits." Well at least someone else thought so.

Teacher pov Celebrating the downfall of Nedzu
Yamada took a sip of booze, sitting next to All Might. "It's too bad you rarely drink with us." He smirked.
"You try drinking without a liver." Fair point. "I'm just lucky the Sanzaru managed to serve juice."
"I'll be sure to drink more in your stead." Aizawa chugged down, already finishing his sixth mug, going for his seventh.
"How can you drink so much?" The man asked.
"What are you on about Yagi, this is my first cup." Toshinori blinked in confusion.
"Man has no memory when he drinks." He explained. "Trust me, it's as freaky as it sounds."
"You mean the world to me, mr fluffles." The man petted a bowl of fruit. Absolutely freaky.
"I mean, it's still not as creepy as whatever's going on over there." He looked at cementos, flirting … with the removed Thirteen's helmet.
"The stars do not compare to the sparkling void of your maiden eyes." The fuck?
"Y-you know, you really do look like a bunny from this angle." Thirteen herself, with her helmet removed, walked over to the top number one pro, and almost fell until she caught herself on the counter.
"Heck ya, Bunny and Rabbit, parents for liiiife!" Miriko went in and hugged the guy tight. "For the kit … secret love child for all!" Oh Yamada wished he recorded this, but sadly his phone was dead.
"The love child ate up the scary rat, I wanted to eat him, it looked tasty." Hawks hiccupped. "I had the perfect plan too. I would swoop in and drop him from the sky. Nice flat mouse burger."
"The doggie devoured the rat." Ectoplasm came in, holding a mic in an attempt to get anyone to karaoke. "Let us sing his praises and rejoice! Rejoice everyone!"
"Let big sis Nemuri take care of that. Waiter, bring me another heartbroken special! On me!" Huh, so Midnight wasn't being the obnoxious drunk…so far. "Drink it up, drink it all up! I want every cup here drained dry!" Never mind, it was business as usual. "It tastes like my last one night stand."
"So last week." Ryuko snorted, looking more sleepy than drunk. Must be the cold blooded nature of her quirk. Ironic considering how nice she was. "I was on tinder … and this guy claims … he's a turtle dragon … super weird."
"I know a demon." Shota spoke, actually looking a bit tipsy for once in his life. "He's basically my long lost twin. Deals with his own set of troublemaking brats. I wish I could torture mine like he's able too. Stupid human world laws." Who knew his oldest friend had such an active imagination?
"How are you the sane one right now?" Yagi asked him.
"Vocal cord quirks do weird things to your throat man. I need gallons before I start to feel drunk." He groaned. "It's kinda sad really … being the responsible one and not being able to goof off … how do you do it daily, man?"
"You calling the bunny-man responsible?" Shota laughed. "I'd call Endeavor the best hero in the world before calling the bunny boy here responsible." Ouch, that wasn't towards him, and he could feel the burn.
"Eh, don't know, he trained Kit before I did, so he must've done something right." Miriko leaned into the man. "What do you say, wanna give him a brother?"
His well trained ears could hear the internal screaming of All Might right now. "It wouldn't be rude to … run, right?"
"Run like the wind, Bunny-sensei, run like the wind." That was all the number one needed before going buff and shooting himself out of the bar. "I'll give you two thousand yen right now to keep that to yourself." He told the barkeep, who didn't know about the pro's emaciated form, just like how they never told Endevor about it.
"Make it three thousand, and you have a deal." Again, it was painful being the responsible one.

Natsu watched Shoto flip through his phone while eating an orange in the kitchen. Part of him didn't want to care but … why not? He leaned over and saw 'fun to have at a beach 101', pretty much explaining everyday stuff … one does at the beach. "Since when are you interested in this kinda stuff?"
"Since I discovered this thing called having friends. It's weird for me." Shoto replied evenly. "I'm somehow more clueless about it than Iruma, and he barely knows how to count." Huh, weird for him to actually say he has friends the more he thought about it.
The door opened, Natsu looked and saw their bastard of a father walk into the kitchen, grabbing a light meal and turning to face them. "Natsu, Shoto."
"Bastard." He growled.
"Endeavor Sir." What? "I didn't know we were neighbors, I would have gotten a gift or something."
"... I live in this house." The man growled, but it seemed more annoyed than genuinely furious.
"Why would the number two hero live with my siblings and me? Don't you have an agency or a penthouse that you waste thousands of yen on?" He couldn't tell if his brother was joking or not..and that actually made him snort on the inside.
"One of these days, I'm going to catch you off your guard, and you're going to admit that I'm your father."
"Why do you keep saying that? I haven't seen Enji Todoroki since mom went away, why do you keep bringing that up?"
For the first time in his life, he watched his father walk away, turning back to glare before shutting the door. He waited until he felt the heat die down … and turned to his brother. "What the fuck Shoto?"
"I'm as confused as you are. You'd think he'd be more modern, but old Japanese must really appease him." He still kept the bit up.
"No, what the hell was that about? You pretended he didn't exist, and he just…left?" He wished he had a camera to record the whole thing, the bastard never backed down from anything, even from something as petty as this.
"Iruma taught me that thinking about people you hate just gives them presence … so I stopped thinking about anyone I hate." He went back to scrolling his phone. "It's great. I stopped thinking about being better than the bastard, and I've never been happier in my life."
"It's that easy, huh?" Natsu was impressed.
"Apparently the punch Iruma gave to me got me a concussion and amnesia, but I don't believe that." He shrugged. "I mean, I remember you, right?"
"As long as it annoys the old man, I'm down for it." Was this what it was like to bond with your little brother? He hasn't felt like this since Toyua. "How long do you think you can keep it up?"
"Rei legitimately thinks it's real, so probably for years if I do it right." Shoto paused. "Or until I can live alone … say Natsu, do you think both of my halves need sunscreen, or neither?"
The man had to laugh, the way he just switched topics like it was normal was just gold. "I'd say you're good. Your pasty mug could use a little sun."

"Chug! Chug! Chug!" The mall's latest event. Chug 100 slushies in under 1 hour, win a car. Kirishima was on his fifty seventh. Sure his lip was turning blue, but it was worth it! By the power of will, and manliness! He will go plus…
"And he's out!" Unfortunately, the man hosting the event was right, he fell over the moment brain freeze took over. "Fifty-seven is the highest anyone has gotten so far though, so give the boy a round of applause!" Well he could take the title of high score, that made him feel better.
"You good bro? Your entire face is turning blue." Sero hoisted him up to the class.
"I'm super manly, the cold doesn't bother me! My manly spirit keeps me warm through anything!"
"Oh, is that why you don't wear a shirt for your hero costume?" Iruma asked. "So all I need to do to survive cold weather is to be manly enough?"
"No, don't trust him, that's just a metaphor." Shoji deadpanned. "Why didn't you take part in the competition?"
"No drivers license, didn't see a point."
"Wait, did Iruma actually think ahead about this before any of us?" Ojiro asked.
"Now if they offered me a ten yen prize, I would totally jump up for it."
"No, just skewed priorities." Iida sighed. "And here I thought we had genuine improvement … Aoyama, how are we with the scuba equipment? I'm not having someone drown because they decided to be manly."
"Terrible! Awful, I'm afraid." The French(?) classmate answered. "None of them have that dazzle I'm looking for. So bland and dull."
"I should've taken Iruma's offer, I should've taken Iruma's offer." Iida banged his head on the nearest wall. "I could've imprinted a little sanity into the classroom. I've wasted every opportunity given to me."
"You win some, you lose some, buddy. After everything that's happened, just be glad we're all here together." Kaminari patted the guy's back. "Already halfway down with the first year, it's crazy how much has happened so far."
"You mean like you and Yaoyoruzo?" Kirishima asked.
"Well I mean, I'm not sure it's official." The boy blushed, looking at the girls hanging over by a saloon booth. "Right now it's just casual stuff, you know?"
"At least yours is the closest thing to a normal relationship." Sero added. "I don't need to remind everyone of the horrors of whatever Bakugo has going on with the 1-B girl, right?" Even Kirishima shivered. Manly as hell for them both to be upfront about everything, but he rather not see it in person.
"That's not even mentioning Iruma being clueless between whatever's going on with Hagakure and Uraraka." Mineta grumbled. "Some guys have all the luck, and they don't even have to try."
"At this point I just assume the bar is set at 'do something crazy, get a date'. Or something like that." Shoji shrugged. "No offense Iru…Iruma?" He looked around. "Where'd he go?"
They looked around, not seeing him anywhere. This wasn't good. "Hey guys." They watched the girls come over. "We got our nails done, you like it?"
"Oh Iruma-kun, can-... where's Iruma-kun?" Hagakure asked. Kirishima decided to be manly once more when he saw the scared looks of everyone, stepping up and speaking with absolute honesty.
"We lost him!" Now he felt like death was on his neck. Wait no, that was just a pair of hands.
==
"Hagakure, stop choking him!" Yaoyoruzo tried to stop her, but she wouldn't relent. "They're foolish, but they don't deserve death!"
"Yeah, at most they deserve a good twenty hits upside the head." Uraraka was at least semi-reasonable.
"Fine then, they live for now." She let the boy gasp for air. "We need a search team. Shoji, search everywhere."
"This many people makes it impossible to pinpoint anything specific." Useless!
" I said everywhere."
"I'll go search that way." The boy began speed walking away from the group.
"I'll go with him." Sero ran away also.
"I'll head in the other direction." Jiro began walking away. "Kaminari, I could use a little help."
"I'll assist you as well." Momo joined the two jacket wearing students
"I shall contact the proper authority!" Iida ran over to a very large mall cop.
"We need someone to stick to the second floor." She pointed to Mineta and Ojiro. "You two, go up there with Ashido and Tsu, me and Uraraka will head to the bottom floor.
"On it!" Wow, maybe she should've been president, she had a nose for this stuff. An hour of finding nothing however, quickly changed her mind.
"Damn it, where could he be!" Uraraka shared her worried look. "How do we keep forgetting how naive he is? We should've put a leash on him, or a collar or something."
"Are you guys really going to treat the boy like an animal?" Jiro asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Sorry, it's just really hard to get the image out of your head when he's basically a puppy you just want to hold on to and snuggle." A part of Toru felt ashamed to admit it, the images of the Suzuki's treating their own son like a dog that needed to be trained filled her with the rage of a thousand suns. "We need new strategies. Iida, superspeed the top floors, Aoyama, got a crowd, Tsu, ceiling search."
"What about me?" Iruma-kun asked.
"You need to-" She cut herself off, and the group turned to the boy. "IRUMA-KUN!" She ran up and hugged him. "You're okay!"
"Yeah, I saw a kid lose a balloon and thought they might want it back, but when I tried to find the guys, I couldn't see them anymore." Oh course, her Iruma-kun was being his normal kind hearted self.
"Sorry we lost you Iruma-kun." She was never going to make that mistake again. She would have eyes on him at all times from now on.
"Oh no problem, Tomura helped point me in the right direction." The entire class grew deathly silent.
"Tomura?" Kaminari asked softly. "That guy from the USJ who brought a bunch of villains?"
"Yeah! He wanted to talk to me! Left really happy afterwards. Guess I helped him with something, wish I knew what it was."....She needed to watch this boy when he slept for his own safety.
