Festival news
2 weeks had passed since the Overhaul incident and life was slowly starting to return back to normal.
"Hey guys! Look at this!" Drawing everyone's attention onto herself, Mina started break dancing.
"WHOO!! You go girl!"
"Don't stop!!"
"If you're gonna dance like that, at least wear shorts under your skirt!!"
Sitting at his desk listening to his classmates's cheers, Aiden wondered how he gotten here. Not to long ago he had brought a villain organization to its knees and saved a traumatized young child from a life of fear and pain. Now he was watching his best friend spinning on the floor.
'Seriously, what is my life?'
While Aiden wasn't a fan of giving out compliments, he had to admit that Mina definitely had skills.
'I wonder if I should teach her capoeira?'
"What a nice hobby." Someone commented after seeing Mina try to teach Deku and Aoyama how to dance.
Standing with Momo, Jirou and her both laughed and joked about how nice it was to have a hobby that one could dedicate themselves to.
Hearing the conversation, Denki immediately jumped into it.
"Hey! Y'know Jirou's got a pretty impressive hobby to."
"WHA!" Knowing what he was referring to, Jirou started to panic. "Don't talk about that you idi-
"Like her room resembles a full blown instrument shop." Denki continued ignoring her complaints.
"I said shut u-
"It goes well beyond the level of a hobby."
Watching them argue from a safe distance, Aiden felt the irony of Jirou's hobby. For someone who had earlobes that were literal earphones, it wasn't to shocking to hear that her hobby involved music.

Walking into class in his cocoon-like suit, Aizawa broke some shocking news to the class.
"It's time for the cultural festival."
"HOW SCHOOL LIKE!!" The class responded in shock.
"Finally *sniff* something normal."
Seeing class erupt into an uproar, Aiden couldn't help but groan. Thinking about how tiresome the event sounded, a certain face surfaced in his mind.
'...I wonder if Eri would like to come? I should also invite Kouta and the Wild, wild Pussycats... It'd be nice to see Ryuko again.'
"Is this really alright? I mean with everything that's happened recently, should we really be acting so carefully?" Kirishima suddenly spoke up surprising everyone.
"A reasonable question." Aizawa nodded. "But you forget that UA is more than just the hero department."
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it this way, if the sports festival was the place where the hero department shines, then the cultural festival is where the other departments stand out."
"Oh!"
Speaking of other departments, Aiden wondered how Mei from the support department was doing. It had been a while since the two had last spoken.
"Now I know that I've just said that you guys won't be the stars this time around, but each class has to do something. So today's lesson we'll be deciding on what you guys want to showcase during the event."
"I guess that makes sense."
"I'm actually kinda excited!"
"This is the highschool life that I wanted!"
"Now then." Aizawa spoke up. "Without further ado, I leave the rest to your class representative."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone suddenly turned to look at Aiden.
'Fuck.'
---
Standing at the front of his class with Momo by his side, Aiden could hear Aizawa sneering at him in the background.
'This motherfu*ker!'
"*Sigh* Lets hear your suggestions."
"MAID CAFE!!" Denki shouted.
"A toy store!"
"Arm wrestling tournament!"
"A haunted house!"
"A crepe stand!"
"A love hotel!" Midnight poked her head in a shouted.
"A Deathmatch!"
"Petting zoo..."
---
Listening to all their suggestions, Aiden already felt tired. Thank god Momo wrote everything down on the board.
Taking a moment to look at it, he felt like face palming.
'Who the hell suggested Study Party for a cultural festival?'
"*Sigh* Get rid of the inappropriate ones." He told Momo.
"Why even ask us for suggestions if your gonna get rid of them." Bakugo complained.
---
After what felt like an eternity, the bell finally rang releasing Aiden from his role as the class rep.
'Finally.'
While not being able to come to a consensus about what to showcase during the cultural festival, the class started arguing while Aizawa left.
'Time to go home.'
"Hey Aiden!" Momo suddenly called out.
'What now?'
"Yeah?" He turned around to face her.
"We were thinking that since we haven't made a decision about what we wanted to do for the festival, we were wondering if you wouldn't mind staying over at the dorms in order to-
"Imma stop you there."
[A/n: Kanye?]
"Do you know what one of the best things about being a leader is?"
"?"
"The ability to delegate tasks."
---
Leaving a stunned Momo behind in the classroom, Aiden approached the staff room.
"Aizawa." He called out.
"Hmm? Oh, its the brat."
"Nice to see you to asshole."
Hearing that comment, Aizawa felt the corner of his eye twitch.
"Shouldn't you be discussing what to do about the cultural festival with your classmates Mr Class Rep?"
Feeling that jab, Aiden did his best to not hit him.
"Actually, I was just wondering what day I should invite Ms Joke to the cultural festival. The first? The second? Maybe both." He smiled.
"Oho, what a brave thing to say."
"I don't know what you mean SENSEI, I'm just worried about your love life."
"..."
"..."
Standing in silence, a dark aura surrounded the teacher and student duo.
"...What do you want?" Aizawa finally gave in.
"I wanted to know if I could bring Eri to the festival."
Aizawa thought carefully before answering. "If the hospital and principal allows it, then I don't see any problem."
"Nice, see you tomorrow teach."
Walking away triumphantly, Aiden pulled his phone out and dialled Pixie-Bob's number.
