All of Class 1-A, with the exception of Bakugo, held their breath, watching Gohan, bowing his head, struggling to get the words out. "I'd like to ask you all...please... Come with me to Mt. Paozu to visit my father's grave." All eyes were on him, and the room fell quiet. "I know it's sudden. To be frank, I don't even know if we'll be approved to go. There's so much that I've been hiding, and I want to reveal everything because it's not fair for me to keep secrets from all of you. You're my friends, and I would like to reveal everything under my father's protection, at his grave."

"Gohan..." Midoriya was speechless. Walking up to his friend, he reached a hand put and firmly squeezed the young man's shoulder, prompting him to look up. "I'll go with you. Let's go visit your father's grave."

As Gohan began to smile, Ururaka joined Deku's side. "Yeah, we'll come with you, Gohan. You've done so much for all of us, it's the least we could do."

"I must say, as the Class Representative, we must get permission before making any plans. However, if Mr. Aizawa will approve a field trip to the mountains, then I'll gladly join along." Iida told him, holding his hands on his hips.

"I've never been to the mountains before!" Hagakure shouted, her clothes indicating that she had a hand in the air.

"Isn't Mt. Paozu the dinosaur reserve?" Mineta questioned, biting his fingernails.

"Dinosaurs!?" Koda asked, his eyes lighting up. "I've always wanted to see a dinosaur! Aren't they supposed to be extinct!?"

"Yeah, but there was a man, Haruhi something, who had a restoration Quirk. So a long time ago he opened up a dinosaur sanctuary and kept their breeding strict. They're somewhat domesticated but the parts of the mountain that people are allowed to visit have guides with Quirks like Koda's." Kaminari explained with a finger on his chin.

"That's incredible! I'd love to be able to see a T-Rex with my own eyes!" Yaoyarozu said, pressing her fingertips together.

"I don't think you'd want to come face to face with a wild T-Rex, Yaomomo." Jiro said, scratching the back of her head.

"I think it'd be great!" Ashido called out, pumping her fist.

"I think some fresh mountain air would be beneficial to all of us. Don't you think, Todoroki?" Tokoyami asked his classmate.

"Yeah."

"Oui, without all of the distracting city lights, I can truly sparkle!" Aoyama claimed in agreement.

"I think I'd enjoy a trip to the mountain." Shoji spoke from one of his mouths.

"I'm not sure Bakugo would be on board, but I don't think he'll have a choice if it's a class field trip." Kirishima explained with a manly smile.

"Gohan. Ribbit. Are there any places to swim?" Asui asked him, approaching the kitchen.

"Yeah! There's this huge river near my house and it always has fresh clean water! So much so that you can see right through it! And there's always these massive fish I used to catch that swim there!" He explained excitedly.

"I've always wanted a chance to swim in a mountain stream. Ribbit." She told him. "You can count me in."

"Alright! Field trip!" Sero shouted.

Sato approached Gohan from behind and rested his hands on his shoulders. As he turned around, Sato gave him a determined smile. "I'll put together plenty of snacks for everyone."

"Everybody..." Gohan was overwhelmed, and the corners of his mouth creeped ever further into a smile. "Thank you!"

The following day, Gohan packed his bag and prepped to go see Mr. Aizawa in the faculty office. He had spent the day putting together a form of itinerary in order to persuade his teacher. "Gohan, are you heading to see the principal?" Midoriya asked him.
