"Kacchan." Izuku whispered, poking the sleeping blonde. "Kacchan~!"
Bakugo groaned, turning over to face Izuku, "What, nerd?"
"Good morning!" Izuku chirped.
"Good fucking morning." Bakugo grumbled, rubbing his eyes. "What's got you so happy with that shitty smile?"
"I thought you liked my smile." Izuku chuckled.
"Your right." Bakugo agreed, pecking his lips. "I do. Now fucking tell me."
"Class 1-A invited us to help train the class for the day." Izuku informed. "Mario is hoping you'd join?"
"That's a hard offer to pass up." Bakugo grinned.
Izuku quirked an eyebrow up, "So is that a yes?"
"Yep."
The two got up to get ready. Bakugo was already in a good mood, and Izuku was pretty ecstatic for the day. They ate and did their hygienic stuff before heading out.
Izuku was basically jumping up and down, impatient for the bus and Bakugo put a hand on his shoulder, "Jesus, nerd. Calm down."
"I'm sorry." Izuku chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. "I just love UA and I can't wait to see the kids again and-"
Izuku kept on mumbling till their bus got there. When they got on, everyone went silent. They sat down and kept to themselves, or more of Bakugo keeping to himself. Izuku waved to everyone who freaked out in their presence. The one's sitting and standing around them asked for a picture with them or autograph.
"Kacchan," Izuku whispered. "10 more minutes of this, ok?"
Bakugo grumbled, taking a picture with a random lady. Their stop was next and they rushed out of there and to UA. They were given access through the gates and walked into the building, being met with Principal Nezu.
"Deku, Ground Zero!" Nezu said with a smile. "A pleasure to see two of the greatest heroes! Mr. Togota is awaiting your further arrival."

Izuku and Bakugo bowed to their former principal, walking down the halls to Class 1-A's large door. They heard a lot of chatter, chuckling before knocking. There were squeals and shushing too.Mirio opened the door, saying his greetings and giving the two a big hug before inviting them in.
The class lost their cool.
"He was only here a month ago, Jesus." Bakugo mumbled. "Oh wait no. Their excited to see me."
Izuku nudged him and smiled to the class, "Its great to be back here! We'll be helping you all train today and help with Quirk Specials."
"So, we're going to gym gamma. Go get suited up in your hero costumes!" Mirio instructed.
Everyone went to change but Katsume, Mahoro, Eri and Kota stayed behind to talk to the heroes. With permission of course. Bakugo had given each kid a hug, nudging them to get a move on with a chuckle after.
"Didn't think you'd be great with kids, Kacchan." Izuku chuckled.
Bakugo smacked Izuku on the back of the head, "Im not."
Izuku laughed, "Uhuh. Sure!"

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

8 197The Wandering Scholar
Zhou Mingzie, A young Chinese American is suddenly brought into a mythical land, similar to China in many ways, but is most definitely not. This new world appears to contain cultivation elements like the Wuxia and Xanxia stories he read throughout highschool, but he can also gain Levels and Skills, I mean Paths and Techniques. Sure he is Chinese, but he grew up in America, so he doesn't want to ascend to the heavens and fight spirit beasts, does he? But Mom wants him to embrace his heritage more...jk...unless? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Inspired heavily by The Wandering Inn and Beware of the Chicken, as well as cultivation novels in general, this story hopes to take a Westernish approach to the standard Cultivation approach, being more subtle and changing how it approaches the standard tropes of the genre, without abandoning them entirely.
