—The Next Day, 9:02am—
——

A UA school bus drove along a long road  through terrains of cliffs, hills, and forests. Aboard the bus was the entirety of class 1-A.

"Ugh, I'm getting bored," Ashido whined.

"Yeah," Sero agreed. He turned to look at class 1-A's teacher. "Hey, Mr. Aizawa, how long 'till we get there?"

Standing at the front of the bus, Eraser Head inwardly groaned. His students were acting like they were half their age, asking the question, 'Are we there yet?'

"Forty more minutes, then we'll be there," he answered without turning to face them. He kept looking out the bus' windshield.

The class was currently taking a day-long field trip to an off-campus facility that was around a total of an hour away.

He started to drift into thought. After he and Present Mic had gotten back to UA following their eventful mission, the former had taken a half-week of leave before returning to teach class 1-A again. Now it had been a week and a few days since the League had made any sort of move that he was aware of.

He was snapped from his thoughts as the bus abruptly started to slow down and came to a halt.

The erasure hero quickly turned to the man driving the bus. "What happened?" he asked.

"I don't know?" the driver answered quizzically as he looked behind the wheel at the bus' instrument panel. "I cant tell that anything's wrong."

"Damn," the teacher cursed. He knew that the bus was currently in a place with no cell signal. If this was some sort of attack, then there was no way to call for help.

Eraser Head opened the doors of the bus and cautiously stepped out. Warily, he walked a bit away and looked around. Nothing he could see seemed out of place — just a road next to a large forest at the base of a cliff.

"Oi! What the hell is going on?!" Bakugo yelled, poking his head out a window of the bus.

"Stay in the bus," the teacher snapped back at the explosive teen.

Before he could inspect further, from the cliff, dozens of black strings shot through the air and down towards the bus.

Some of the strings wrapped around the center of the bus and sliced the metal automobile in half. The rest reached inside from the opening and grabbed the twenty students inside. The strings dragged all the heroes in training out of the bus and trapped them further by tangling together, forming a web-like net.

They all started to scream and yell.

"Mr. Aizawa!"

"What the hell is this?!"

"Stay put! Don't move!" Eraser Head called to his students. He spun his head around looking for the one person capable of this.

"I'm a bit surprised you would decide to take a field trip... especially if you know that I can easily get information on you and your class," Puppet's voice spoke from somewhere near the bus. Hearing her voice, the pro hero stiffened.

Puppet walked out from behind the broken bus, revealing herself. She stepped in front of the web of strings restraining class 1-A and faced Eraser Head. Several strings were wrapped around her fingers, giving her complete control over every one of the teens.
