End of Semester

Midoriya and Bakugo, without any surprises, were sent to the infirmary after passing the exam. All Might's attack, even though it was a restrained one, wasn't easy to handle.

After a short rest at noon, the afternoon exams began.

Although the exams were still exciting, they lacked the tension and drama of the morning exams. However, the coordination between Asui and Tokoyami was excellent, and it could be said that they staged a comeback.

By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, all the exams for the groups had ended. Among the groups, only the combination of Ashido and Kaminari did not pass the exam.

There was no way, their opponent was the seemingly cute Principal Nezu.

The exam took place in a large industrial area, and from start to finish, it was under Principal Nezu's control. His Quirk, called "High Spec," could easily control all actions with high intensity and precise calculations. He effortlessly blocked the path of the two students trying to escape through the network to the endpoint, but he never appeared in front of them. He was a mastermind, a top-tier strategist, and his abilities were truly terrifying.

Then, they rested on Sunday and returned to school on Monday.

The results of the exam were known when they arrived at school, and due to their diligent review before the exam, all Class A students had passed the passing line.

However...

Kaminari and Ashido looked troubled as they said to everyone.

"We can't go to forest camp..."

"Sorry, guys, I disappointed you..."

Uraraka looked at the two of them and could only console them quickly, "Actually, you both did really well. If you're lucky, there might be a turnaround. Don't be so down."

But even with everyone's consolation, it couldn't change the fact that the two of them couldn't participate in the forest camp.

Meanwhile, Midoriya and Bakugo sat quietly in their seats, lost in thought.

After the exam, these two people, Midoriya and Bakugo, woke up almost an hour later when everyone else had already left. Although their injuries healed quickly, the mental exhaustion and sense of defeat still had some lingering effects.

Midoriya was relatively fine, but for Bakugo, the impact was significant. Not only did he realize the gap between himself and All Might, but what hit him harder was that he had cooperated with Midoriya and forcibly changed his fighting style, which was a big blow to Bakugo.

Renault also noticed the state of these two people and had some guesses.

Even the other students in the class had some speculations, after all, they had been classmates for a semester. However, no one went over to interfere, as they knew this was something they needed to sort out themselves, and interference would only seem nagging.

Soon, Aizawa came into the classroom, and everyone returned to their seats. Looking at the students in the classroom, Aizawa said, "You have all passed the written exam of the final exam, which is good. At least you didn't make me angry at the easiest part. However, some of you did not pass the practical exam, so for the forest camp..."

Here, Aizawa paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "The whole class will participate together."

"Is that real?!"

"Miracles do happen!"

Renault looked at Aizawa's smile and realized, 'So, the part about failing students not being able to participate in forest camp and needing to make up for it was just a bluff.'

Aizawa nodded and said, "Ah, I said before that you all passed the written exam, but Kaminari, Ashido, and Sero did not pass the practical exam. However, you will still be able to participate in the training camp."

"Uh..." Sero, who had been knocked unconscious by Midnight's Quirk at the beginning of the practical exam and only made it to the finish line thanks to Mineta's surprising breakthrough. He held his head and said, "As expected, it's not just about passing, but also about performance."

Aizawa continued, "In this exam, while we have set up challenges for you students, we have also left opportunities for you to pass. Otherwise, most of you would be 'insta-killed' when facing difficult problems. Face the reality, you are still too weak."

"I remember the teacher said he would fight seriously against us," said Ojiro, asking a question.

"That's to stimulate your potential," Aizawa said, glancing at Ojiro. "And forest camp is originally a strengthening training camp. It's impossible to exclude anyone based solely on exam results. Students who fail need to seize this opportunity and find ways to enhance their strengths. This is what we call a 'Logical Ruse'."

"Logical ruse!?" Although that's what he said, the three students who failed were actually very happy at this moment because they were able to participate in the forest camp.

"However," Aizawa said, staring at the three students, "Failing is failing. Don't think you can escape remedial classes. The school has prepared another set of remedial plans for you, and believe me, it's scarier than being left behind in school."

The three students immediately sat up straight, swallowing hard in unison, cold sweat pouring down.

After the three students settled down, Aizawa handed out the instruction manual for the forest camp, which outlined the items to be brought and the time and duration of the training camp. However, the specific details of the training content and location were not mentioned, clearly to maintain the mystery.

After handing out the materials, Aizawa announced the start of the holiday and left.

Renault looked through the manual and looked at the list of items to be brought, contemplating what else he needed to purchase.

"Forest camp starts next Monday. Although we don't know where it will be held, it's definitely in the mountains. I'll need a pair of hiking boots, and some first aid tools should be prepared too. Who knows what challenges the school has in store for us..."

As everyone relaxed, they gathered together and started discussing. Ashido exclaimed excitedly, "Since everyone has things to buy, why not go shopping together tomorrow?"

"Go together? Sounds good!"

"Let's go together!"

Renault glanced at Todoroki beside him and asked, "What about you?"

"I need to visit someone who's sick, sorry," Todoroki replied.

Knowing that Todoroki was going to visit his mother, Renault didn't insist.

Kirishima, who had finished packing his things, asked Bakugo, who was always grumpy, "Bakugo, want to go together?"

"Like hell I would! it's too much trouble!" Bakugo refused.

And so, apart from these two, one with prior engagements and the other being Bakugo's usual grumpy self; the rest agreed to meet outside the next day, which was the second day of the holiday, to shop for the items needed for forest camp together.
