"Seriously? Where are they?" Mina whined.
While Katherine and Todoroki had been making out in the hallway, the rest of Class 1-A had begun the walk to Heroics. "Knowing those two? They probably just went straight to the gym," Kirishima suggested. "I mean, Katherine has never had any problem with being early to training, and we know Todoroki is about the same."
"I don't know, that doesn't sound like her," Momo mumbled. "Although, I suppose it doesn't sound unlike her either."
"Tch. If Icy-Hot thinks that getting to training early is going to put him above me, he's got another thing coming!" Bakugo barked.
Mitsuki rolled her eyes. "Well, Katsuki, maybe you should take a few leaves out of his book!"
"SHUT UP AND DIE, YOU HAG!"
Inko sighed and smiled. "I see U.A. hasn't changed Katsuki's attitude much..."
"No, Kacchan's the same as he's always been...," Midoriya agreed.
"Hey, Kirishima was right, there they are!" Sero said, pointing.
As Kirishima had figured, Todoroki and Katherine were standing and chatting with All Might in the gym. The three of them looked up as 1-A and the parents got closer. "Oh, hey, you guys," Katherine greeted, "what took you so long?"
"What took us so long?!" Jiro repeated indignantly. "Why'd you ditch us?"
"I didn't ditch anyone! I met up with Todoroki at the water fountain. We kinda got distracted and ended up talking, and we weren't gonna have enough time to walk back to the classroom, so I just teleported us both here," she explained.
"Nearly gave me a heart attack!" All Might laughed.
Katherine grinned awkwardly. "Yeah, sorry about that..."
"Not to worry, Young Katherine! Utilizing your quirk to be on time for training is nothing to apologize for!"
"Oh. Okay."
"Now that we're all here, let's get started! Today we will be doing group combat!" All Might announced. "You will all be split up into five groups of four and assigned different buildings! Inside these buildings, a cunning villain has let loose armies of robots!"
"Oh, I was wondering when we'd train with the bots," Katherine murmured to herself.
"These robots have been designed like regular humans, just stronger!" he continued. "But the villain has made a mistake! Inside the building, a central power-off switch will deactivate all the robots! Your job as heroes is to get to the power-off switch or destroy all the robots as quickly as possible! The first team to deactivate their robots wins!"
"Huh, this doesn't sound too hard!" Ojiro said.
"Your parents and some of the other teachers will be watching the groups from each buildings' assigned monitor room," All Might informed the class. "Now, as you all know, Pro Heroes sometimes have special weapons or accessories made to help them with combat. As a special treat, we've decided to let everyone have a chance to take one item from the weapons closet and use it during today's training."
"Hell yeah!" Katherine shouted.
Kirishima fist-pumped into the air. "Alright!"
"Yes!" Jiro exclaimed.
"But before we do that," All Might went on, interrupting the students' celebration, "let me give you your groups! First off is Yaoyorozu, Asui, Kaminari, and Koda. You'll be with Cementoss at Building A."
"Yes, sir!"
"Kero!"
"Let's go!"
"Next, we have Kirishima, Jiro, Ashido, and Aoyama. You'll be with Midnight in Building B."
