"Everyone gather around."

I was finishing up my latest draft for my next invention when Maijima, my teacher, called for us. He usually leaves us to do our own work, so this must be important. I pulled back my headphones and headed to the forming crowd.

"I wonder what this could be about," I muttered as I looked around the workshop. Mei, my best friend, was still at her station working on one of her many inventions. "Mei that means you too!" I shouted. She finally popped her head out from behind her 'precious baby' and came over to the rest of the class.

"Okay, so you guys know how you don't have that many opportunities to show off your gadgets. Right?" Maijima claimed as he looked around the class. We all agreed knowing that the only time we get to show them off is during the sports festival. "It is preposterous! My pretty babies need to be seen throughout the world." Mei whined as she clutched one of her said babies to her chest.  It's a weird yet understandable attachment.

"Yeah, anyway, I found a way to get you kids out there. Drum roll please?" No matter the absurdity we all still drum rolled as of his request. "You'll be partnered with class 2-A!"

The drum rolling came to a complete stop after his announcement.

"What- What's wrong?" He inquired as he saw our disappointed faces. "I guess we just thought you were going to get us real heroes to show off our work. But, I guess 2-A will do." I stated as I looked away from the disappointment known as my teacher. 

"Hey, I tried my best in a short amount of time. You should be glad they agreed to work with you introverts. And, Hatsume." He's right I suppose. We do need to learn how to work with clients and not just be in our own world.

"Now, I have already partnered y'all off with your own 2-A student. So no complaining." We all groaned in dissatisfaction with the situation. At least we don't have to pick out who we'll be with.

He started to call out the pairs for our assignment. That grape pervert had been called off before my name was called, thank god. He finally got to mine and I was shocked.

"Lastly, Kanamori is with Bakugou."

See, shocking.

How are you going to pair two strong personalities together and expect them to work? Unless this is a challenge. Then never mind I could totally do this.

"Oh that's tough Mori"

"Yeah sorry girl"

"Good luck"

They all came to comfort me after hearing who I was paired up with. They only saw him as an arrogant, loathing, bastard. Which is partially true under certain circumstances. But, I've seen him be calm and rational. Meaning he can be an understanding person, at times. Also meaning that I can deal with him. Challenge accepted.

"Hey Mei, who did you get?" I asked as she was working on a cannon? Blowtorch? I don't know at this point. "I got this kid named Iida. Do you know him?" She replied as she started to test out her new inventions. I backed up a bit to not get majorly injured. "Don't you remember? You fought him at last year's sports festival." I averred. She started to activate her invention in my direction which made me have to duck. "Never heard of him!" she exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and took a step closer to her again.

"Who did you get?" She inquired as she put her newest creation down to work on the kinks. "I got Bakugou." She looked up with a confused face. "That hothead who everyone is afraid of." She lets out a small 'oh' and goes back to her baby. "That sucks Vi. His costume is basically perfect." I looked at her with total agreement. "I know right! He basically has everything that he needs. What more can I do?" I wailed as I sat next to her and put my head down in defeat. I'm not even in the challenge yet and I've already given up.

"Don't worry girl. You're like the second smartest person I know. And with your," she put this in air quotes "'strong personality' you should be fine." Mei stated as she got up to place her newest baby in her pile.

"My personality is strong. But, I guess you're right. Okay, I will try and come up with things to build that will make his jaw drop." I exclaimed, hardly, as I got back to my station. "You do whatever you need to girlie. I need to get back to my babies." I heard Mei mutter as she scavenged through her pile. She can be, interesting, at times

This is so annoying.

We're taking time out of hero training to go and get our costumes 'revamped'. It's lame because my costume is already the best out of the rest of these nerds. I already made the design to all of my standards so there is nothing more to do.

"Hey Bakugou! Have any ideas for your costume?" I heard dumb hair yell from across the classroom. It made my ears ring so I slightly flinched back. "I bet he already has a bunch of ideas bubbling in there. Right, Kachangou?" I heard that lightning bolt shriek. I couldn't take it anymore.  I got up and left for the workshop to get away from those idiots. "Where are you going?" I heard dumb hair ask. "None of your damn business," I called out as I left the classroom

As I entered the workshop I was shaken by the amount of construction that was happening. It was equally as loud as the classroom. Now I need to know who I'm working with for this dumb thing.

"Who's helping me with my costume?!" I yelled out. This made everyone stop and turn to me. As if I care. "Oh...uh me." I heard someone mutter from the corner. She was dark skin with long auburn braids going to her lower back. When she turned around to look at me, I saw that she had a nose piercing in the shape of a heart. Her eyes were a dark shade of purple but they looked almost black. I walked over to her and she was, technically speaking, pretty. I stood over her and looked at her table. More organized than the rest of these losers.

"Hey, I'm Violet Kanamori and I'm going to help you with your costume today." She started to explain what she had in mind for my costume, but all I could focus on was how calming her voice was. Being around those screaming extras all day took a toll on my hearing, also including my quirk. Hearing someone soft-spoken is nice.

"Bakugou? Bakugou?" I heard snapping and refocused on where I was. "What?" I asked as I turned back to her face. "I asked if you have any ideas for your costume." She asked with that soft voice of hers. I thought for a second and then told her my idea. "My hearing has been acting up because of my quirk. So, uh, maybe you could make me earplugs that can block out

the sounds of my explosions." She looked at me with confusion which made me confused.

"What's with the face?"

"That's it? That's all you want?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Nothing I just thought you would want more. But, I can get that back to you in like, two days, max." She said as she got a piece of paper out.

"Draw out the design of the earplugs and I will recreate it," she said as I started to sketch out what I wanted. I would want them to fit my vibe and be cool. When I finished the design I handed it back to her and she looked at me with approval. "Alright, I'll get this back to you in two or three days." I nod my head and get up. "They better be cooler than the rest of these extras' gadgets," I said as I left the workshop. "Don't worry, it will." She said as she put her headphones on and got to work.

These two days better go by quickly so that I can get my earplugs. Also, to be around that girl again.
