*Yawn*

...

Simon slowly woke up and turned on his side. It took a second to fully register that Rias was not only in his bed, but completely naked.

Simon:...

He got out of bed, got a change of clothes and left the room. Rias opens her eyes, confused.

Rias:... hm?

Later—

Simon ride the bullhead to school with the usual group, started walking to class, but got dragged away by Rias and thrown into a closet before he could object.

Rias; What was that?

Simon: You're the one pulling people into broom closets.

Rias: You wake up to a busty naked woman in your bed and you just walk away!?

Simon: I had school.

Rias: You have super speed!

Simon: Meh.

He shrugs.

Rias: Well, we can just do it here-

*RIIIIINNGGG!!!*

Rias: You're kidding...

Simon; Welp, guess I'm leaving then!

He opens the closet and leaves, leaving a confused Rias there. The girl was left confused as to why she hadn't gotten her way, but also had class so she stomped away.

Meanwhile—

Through lots of hard work, lock, and make prostitution, the entire class had managed to do well enough to pass.

Mina: Woohoo! I can't believe I managed to actually make it through that!!!

Kaminari: No extra work for this guy!

Iida: Good job everyone! We all worked hard and managed to earn our places on the field trip!

Ryuko: Also shout out to Simon for fuckin' Midnight and Mrs. Joke!

Iida grit his teeth.

Iida: Yes. Thank you.

He choked out.

The door flew open, Aizawa looking as grumpy as ever.

Aizawa: Once the bell rings you should be in your seats.

Everyone quickly sat down as Aizawa stood in front of the class.

Aizawa: Fortunately all of you managed to pass, even if some did just squeak by. Everyone passed the written tests while a few flunked the physical. Those who did flunk the physical will be worked extra hard, so be prepared for that.

Later—

After going through the day and helping out with the occult club, the school day had ended. But it wasn't just gonna end there. Right now all of class 1-A (minus a few) were all at a massive shopping district.

Hagakure: This place has all the cool stuff!

Ruby: So... big!

Mina: This is amazing!!!

Ryuko; Damn, I wouldn't even know where to start.

Simon was admittedly, a little overwhelmed.

Simon: Can't wait to buy nothing related to camping and just waste all of my money on souvenirs!!!

Hagakure: Zip it shape-shifty!

Everyone started walking together in between stores, looking for stuff they wanted. Simon, broke as ever, just kinda wandered around and looked at all the cool stuff. They got recognized by a few people from the sports festival, but beyond that he just wandered.

Simon: funny how we came here as a class, but ended up just splitting up anyway...

He sighs.

???: Oh, you're from the sports festival, right?

Simon put on a happier face as he turned to face the voice he kinda recognized.

Simon: Yeah, that's me!

Before he had even realized it, there was a hand on his shoulder. When they placed their hand down, they made sure to keep their index finger pointing up.

Shigiraki: If I lower my finger, my quirk will turn you to dust.

That's where he recognized the voice. The villain attack on the BUJ. He kept cool, glancing up at the person.

Simon: Since you didn't just do it, that means you want me alive. Yes?

Shigiraki: Unfortunately, I couldn't really if I wanted to. Thanks to the alien watch, that is.

He knew about the watch.

Simon: So you're aware your leverage doesn't exist?

Shigiraki: Doesn't mean it won't hurt.

Simon gave a grunt instead of a nod.

Shigiraki: Don't make a scene, and I won't open you a new air hole. Got it?

Simon: Yeah. But I feel the need to point out if you do, you'll be undoubtedly caught by a hero.

Shigiraki: Oh, I'm aware. But look around.

He says, glancing at the large crowd of people shopping.

Shigiraki: Any one of them could go on a killing spree at any moment. They just have to trust everyone around them has the same morals as they do. After I hurt you, I could easily dust a good 20, maybe 30 if no one screams right away. Maybe even more!

Simon : I get it, edge lord.

Shigiraki: Care to walk and talk?

Simon; Sure.

They start walking.

Simon: So, you here to monologue or interview?

Shigiraki: A bit of both.

They keep walking, Shigiraki now only keeping a hand on his shoulder, still careful not to touch him with all his fingers.

Shigiraki: Honestly, I hate everything. But the Hero Killer pisses me of the most right now. Despite us doing the same thing he does, they just can't seem to stop fawning over him.

Simon: So jealousy?

Shigiraki: Yeah. Isn't it strange? That guy kills a couple heroes and suddenly the world can't shut up about him, while I've hardly even seen a news article with the League of Villains on it!

He leans in.

Shigiraki: What do you think the difference is, Tennyson?

Simon: One fought to kill corrupt heroes and the other tried- and failed- to murder some college students. I can't say I agree with Stain on everything, but hey, he's got a decent motive. He fought for Justice, even if it's stained with blood. He saved me from that flying Nomu despite knowing he was gonna go to jail either way. I dunno why, but he did. You fight for nothing. You fight for pointless chaos and bail on your own missions the moment things go south. So if you ask me, that's the difference.

Shigiraki: Heh...

Simon glances over at his grinning face.

Shigiraki: That's like a weight off my chest. I see it now. All the dots are connecting in my brain! Why he makes me so angry, why you irritate me so, everything makes sense!

His smile grew wider.

Shigiraki: The problem is the cameras! The difference between me and him and you and them! Stain gets praise because they have something to go off of! A motive! An end goal! Just like heroes with supposedly keeping the peace! It's why these morons are able to keep smiling thoughtlessly!

His grip shifts back to his neck, then tightened.

Shigiraki: I feel so much better, I can't thank you enough Tennyson! I don't need to change my ways after all!

Ochaco: Umm... Tennyson?

Suddenly, Shigiraki looses his grip, glancing to the side and seeing the girl standing there.

Ochaco: Is that a friend...?

Shigiraki grinned wider, unsettling the girl as she noticed the hand on Simon's neck.

Ochaco: H-...Hey. Let go of him!

Simon: Everything's fine, just stay there-

Shigiraki: Oh, you came with a date did you? Sorry! I didn't mean to intrude!

He let go and stood up.

Shigiraki: Try following me, and I start dusting.

He starts walking away, Simon letting out a sigh of relief.

Ochaco hesitated, but ran over to Simon.

Ochaco: a-are you okay!?

Simon: Yeah...

His eyes were locked on the man walking away.

Simon:...

Later—

Heroes were called but they couldn't find the villain. Simon got questioned by the police, but it wasn't much new. Now, Simon was just tired. So, he got home with his two roommates and passed out.
