Forest Training Camp

After U.A.'s final exams ended, the excitement did not die down.

It only grew hotter.

The video of Yuto versus All Might, the so-called passing-the-torch battle, spread across the internet.

In only one week, its views had already passed one billion.

The number was still rising quickly.

Forums, message boards, and social media were all discussing the battle.

User: FancyChampion: Is Yuto the next Symbol of Peace?

User: FierceLittleFan: Yuto is way too cool. I need to watch that fight again.

User: BigSisterStyle: Is Yuto really fifteen? He's too strong!

On the streets, in schools, at company dinners, and at gatherings between classmates, that battle was still a hot topic.

As time passed, its popularity did not fall.

It grew even faster.

At the same time, inside Class 1-A's classroom at U.A. High School, Yuto himself had been taking it easy.

He did not pay much attention to the comments online.

Mina waved both hands childishly.

"This is great! We can finally go to the forest training camp together!"

"I'm so excited to go with Yuto-chan."

Tsuyu said from the side, "Mina-chan, I don't want to ruin your mood, but you didn't pass the final exam, did you?"

"According to the rules, students who failed aren't allowed to attend the forest training camp."

Yaoyorozu nodded.

"That's right. Students who fail the final exams shouldn't be allowed to participate."

Mina froze in place.

Did that mean she really could not go to the forest training camp with Yuto?

Her face darkened as if she had turned to stone.

Yuto smiled faintly and comforted her.

"Don't worry. Everyone will be going to the forest training camp."

Mina's eyes lit up.

"Really, Yuto-chan?"

Yuto nodded.

"Of course."

Hearing Yuto's assurance, Mina, Sero, Kaminari, and the other students who had failed finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While they were talking, the classroom door opened.

Aizawa walked in with his usual exhausted expression.

He stood at the podium.

"Good morning. About your final exam results."

"Unfortunately, some of you failed."

"Therefore, the forest training camp..."

He paused, then showed a faint smile.

"The whole class will attend."

The entire class cried out in shock.

Mina happily hugged Yuto.

"I'm so glad! I can go to the forest training camp with Yuto-chan!"

Yuto smiled helplessly at Mina's closeness.

He could feel Yaoyorozu and Ochaco's sharp gazes from the side.

At the podium, Aizawa continued.

"During the final exams, we teachers were playing the role of villains, but we held back while observing how you dealt with difficult situations."

"If we hadn't, most of you would have been defeated before you even reached the real problem."

Tsuyu said, "I remember you saying you would go all out and crush us."

Aizawa replied, "That was to draw out your potential."

"Besides, the forest training camp was always meant to be a strengthening camp."

"The students who failed need this opportunity even more to improve their abilities."

Aizawa's smile turned sinister.

"That is what we call a rational deception."

Class 1-A sighed in resentment.

"So the forest training camp is training too?"

Iida looked furious.

"We were tricked again. That's U.A. for you."

Ochaco looked at Yuto with bright eyes.

"As long as I can go with Yuu-kun, it's fine."

Yaoyorozu said calmly, "Training is also a good choice."

Yuto nodded.

"That's right. Using the time to improve our strength is the smartest choice."

"For all of us aiming to become heroes, this is not the time to relax completely."

"The forest training camp is a chance to take another step forward."

"The goal is to keep moving and never stop improving."

Yuto's words snapped Class 1-A back into focus.

If even Yuto said that, they had no excuse to slack off.

"Yuto is right! We'll work hard together at the forest training camp!"

Kirishima clenched his fists.

"I'll work even harder. In the future, I want to enter Yuto's hero agency!"

Ochaco waved her fist.

"Me too!"

Aizawa looked at Yuto with approval.

Yuto had clearly become the core of Class 1-A.

"All right. Go home and pack your luggage."

"Gather at U.A.'s main gate at three this afternoon. Then we leave for the forest training camp."

Class 1-A shouted happily.

"Yes!"

Then Aizawa suddenly added, "Also, we have already chosen the teacher for your forest training camp."

Midoriya asked excitedly, "Is it All Might?"

Kirishima shook his head.

"I think it's Aizawa-sensei."

Iida chopped the air with his hand.

"Present Mic-sensei is also possible."

Mineta's eyes gleamed.

"It has to be Midnight-sensei."

The class discussed it noisily.

All Might and Aizawa received the loudest support.

For a moment, everyone's attention gathered on Aizawa as they waited for the answer.

Aizawa took a breath and said with a deadpan expression, "It's Yuto."

"What?"

Class 1-A stared at Yuto in shock.

Yuto was going to be the teacher?

That could not be real.

Even Yuto blinked in surprise.

U.A. really did love throwing people into strange situations.
