Third person:

“e-everyone, I’m looking forward to hearing all your stories of how fun camp was.”

Mina sniffles as she finally gets her words out, the group of three boys around her feeling as down as she was. Of course, Midoriya attempted to diffuse the situation,

“m-maybe they’ll end up letting you go. There might be a last-minute twist or somethin’.”

“stop Midoriya,”

Sero places his hand on the other boy’s shoulder,

“by saying that out loud, you’re just jinxing them.”

Kamanari looks off to the side in sadness,

“they said whoever failed the exams would have to skip training camp and live in summer school hell. We didn’t pass the practical’s, so we’re doomed. Don’t you understand Midoriya?!”

he then continued to finger jab Midoriya in the eyes,

“or did All Might knock all the brains outta you?!”

the screams in pain drowned out Sero telling him to stop,

“I’m not sure I’ll get to go either. My team only passed because of Mineta. I got knocked out, and since we don’t know how they’re scoring stuff, I might’ve flunked.”

“at least bring us back lots of camp souvenirs, please?”

Finally, Aizawa came in, class now in session,

“unfortunately, there are a few of you who did not pass your final exams. So, when it comes to the training camp in the woods… everyone is going!”

“a last minute twist?!”

“we really get to go to camp?!”

“yeah. The good news is that no one bombed the written exam, five failed the practical, badly. Two teams, of course, and then Sero failed as well. Allow me to explain. For the practical battles, the teacher made sure to leave a way for the students to win. Otherwise, you never would have stood a chance. We were interested in observing how you each worked together and approached the task at hand.”

“but didn’t you promise that the teachers wouldn’t be holding back?”

“that was to just get you on edge. Besides, the training camp will focus on building your strength. Those who failed need those lessons the most. We were never going to separate you. That was just a logical deception we used.”

As the other doofuses celebrated, Iida stood up with vigor,

“Mr. Aizawa, this is the second time you’ve lied to us. Aren’t you afraid we’ll lose faith in you?”

“that’s a good point, I’ll consider it. but I wasn’t lying to you about everything. Failure is failure. We’ve prepared extra lessons for the five of you. Frankly, they’ll be far tougher than what you’d face at summer school.”

(y/n)’s pov:

Class had just ended, so I went back to texting Sashima. Ever since the exam, she and I kept in touch and had gotten rather close. She was telling me that she was working on her hand to hand combat a bit more because of all of the damage I took during the battle, I told her that I was fine but it is always a skill that is needed when pursuing becoming a hero. She also let me know what school she chose and that she was sorry that she isn’t coming to UA, but we would be seeing each other soon. I sigh and put my phone away, paying attention to my classmates again,
