'It was supposed to be a simple game, just something to ease stress, they said! If it was just a game, why do I feel like I stepped into den of hungry lionesses and they were watching me like I was drenched in sardine oil?' Izuku thought, as he had his back against a tree trunk in the shadowed treetops of Ground Omega, keeping his best to not let out a cry. If it was one of being caught or one out of fear is unknown, either one would surely possibly doom him.

Earlier that morning...

"Come on, it can be super fun! We all played games like this as kids, why not relive the glory days? I mean, we practically live in the biggest amusement park in the world, what's stopping us?!" Exclaimed Class 1-A's self-proclaimed queen of aliens, Mina Ashido, as she and her group of gal pals.

They were, however, met with a chorus of unsure ehhhs or were flat out ignored by many of the more stoic and self reserved classmates, with the exception of everyone's favorite(?) serial grapist and human Pichu who saw this as an opportunity to run into the class beauties under romantic moonlight.

Mineta couldn't even tell there was drool rushing from his mouth as his mind was running. 'Just thinking about it, this is it! One of the ladies will find me cornered, nowhere to run and their primal instincts will kick in. I'll be their willing prey, no doubt they'll take me back to their dorms in private, and once we do, I'll be getting the deluxe treatment of getting eaten in the best way possible.'(A/N: N-no, this isn't going to be any vore shit. That is not my cup of tea. If you're looking for that, turn away now.)

'Surely the ladies are using this as an excuse to get me alone, and the second they see this stunning face under the moon, I'll be on a one way trip to smoochville. Population: Me!' Kaminari smirked to himself as he thought about all the situations he will find himself in.

To the girls, however, they did not really care if all of class joined, or even a small handful. All that mattered to them was that they hoped their secret green haired trophy will agree to it. It would be ludicrous to not see that at this point in time, each one had a personal motive to claiming that green field for their future farm. And as one would expect it...

"I think that sounds fun!" A certain cinnamon roll with mint icing on top exclaimed, a gleam in his eyes. Hook, line and sinker.

Izuku didn't have the heart to tell them that he did not ever get to actually play games like that much as a kid due to his past, so the moment he saw an opportunity to have some childish fun, he is going to run with it. "Is it going to be like freeze tag? What are the rules? Will there be any sort of reward if the ones who are hiding stay hidden if the seekers give up? What about..." He trailed on. That damn cuteness is what they needed for their plan to work perfectly.

Kyouka Jirou, one of the edgiest looking girls this side of a Tokyo and a living Aux Core, had to poke his forehead with one of her jacks. "Down, greenie, heel. You're gonna talk your voice box broke." 'Oh, you're gonna be heeling tonight once I find you. Mistress Jirou... That has a nice ring to it...'

'"Well if the nerd is in, you can double count me out. No way am I going to play some stupid fucking kids' game when I have better things to do with my time in the first place." Katsuki Bakugo, Mr. Splody Boomboom Man himself, spat out angrily as the mere thought of doing anything that involved his one sided frenemy sent his breakfast running to the porcelain throne.

Eijirou Kirishima and Hanta Sero, the lving boulder with a boner and Office-Max mascot respectively, knew the perfect way to get their friend interested as Kirishima put his hand on Bakugo's shoulder. "Come on, you're really going to pass up an excuse to prove you're the best at hiding?"

"Yeah, just think about it. Good heroes are able to be silent enough to sneak up on their enemies and strike. You'll be proving you can do that without the striking part." Sero hoped both he will agree, and his squad leader won't actually end up striking someone in the face.

"GRRRRRAAAAA, FINE! I'LL PLAY YOUR STUPID FUCKING GAME, JUST SHUT UP ABOUT IT!" Katsuki screamed out as he made a small explosion in his hand to get them away.

The Invisible Man's secret lovechild if Todoroki's theory is correct, Tooru Hagakure, could not help but squeal in glee in her mind. 'This is going great! The more the merrier, the less likely the plan will be found out. Bushy Boy won't even realize I'll be hot on his trail!'

"Absolutely not! Under no circumstances shall we jeopardize a routine sleep schedule in order to play a childish game!" A certain blue haired possible robot in a man suit, Tenya Iida, stood up from his chair as he chopped the air in the direction of his fellow female classmates.

'Shit, he could ruin my plan to make Midoriya my future consort!' Momo Yaoyorozu, the human sized living factory, yelled in her mind. "Do not worry, Iida, think of this as a sort of training. After all, pro heroes must both be skilled in stealth as well as search. You do not want to risk the situation of a missing person incident during a rescue, do you?" She silently prayed, 'Take the bait, take the bait...'

Tenya stopped for a moment to think. "...Very well. I assume you all have thought out a proper procedure in order for both maximum... fun... as well as experience. You may count me in."

The living Katy Perry song, Shouto Todoroki, was next to speak. "If I may ask, why exactly have you planned out this little festive event? I can tell by your movements there is something much more to it than simply 'reliving old days'." Not that he would have had any of those days either thanks to his life.

Luckily for the girls, the girl with a set of thighs that could crush a melon, Tsuyu Asui, walked in front and said quite bluntly, "We've been going through so much stuff lately from the USJ incident, to the League of Villains and the stress of the festivals that we could use something to ease the stress, kero."

It might've been her blank stare or her tone of voice, but that was somehow a good enough reason for Todoroki to sit down and accept the game offer.

One by one, the guys have agreed to joining the game with 3 exceptions, that being Tokoyami, Aoyama and, surprisingly, Koda. The reverse harpy backed out since darkness is not a good idea for him and his quirk as everyone's safety will surely be in question, the living disco ball refused to join as it would be like if he had a glowing neon sign on his back that said "I glow, find me first" and the man that would make Steve Irwin proud declined as all the night bugs would surely give him a one way ticket to the nurse from the heart attack.

The girl that looked like a human Kirby, Ochako Uraraka, clasped her hands together as she went to her stand next to her green haired best friend and maybe more later on, slightly nudging him with her thigh on purpose much to the secret disdain of the other girls with her iconic big smile plastered on her face. "Great! We're gonna meet up at Ground Omega around 10 pm sharp! Be sure to get your work done before hand so we don't need to worry about it." She latched herself onto Izuku's arm as he couldn't help but blush and mumble incoherently. "Come on, Deku, we don't want to be late for class!"

She practically floated him to their class as she held him down by his arm, as if she was showing off her prize before the game even began. Soon the common room was getting emptier by the person, leaving the girls in the back of the crowd with their thoughts.

'I swear, if I wasn't going to be a hero, I would have her head on a personal made spear in our front lawn!'

'I can bust one of her eardrums and she won't die, right?'

'You're gonna burn, sweetie, but not by fire... hope you like being bald.'

'I just need one moment alone with her, my mucus would put her out of commission silently and safely. Just abit of it and she'll be paralyzed long enough for me to get on that lily pad and finish school in one fell swoop, kero.'

'Oh, he is going to love the little trick I'll do the second I get him in my bed. I'll call it Hiding the Python! Yeah... python...' She could not help but recall the time she hid in the guy's shower long enough to see what exactly she'll be "hiding" later. Thank goodness she is invisible, otherwise things would be awkward if anyone looked at her right then and there and possibly result in a expulsion and/or make her be forced to go door to door telling people that she's a registered you know what.

Class was pretty simple, as half for class was now partly looking forward to their little game later and the other half were still trying to make sure they got today's lesson.

Although the lesson took up most of the attention of the class 1-A sirens, at least 10% of their focus was on the green haired dreamboat, who had his full focus on his work. The girls were filling out their pages one minute and secretly writing out their future vows in their heads the next.

'Deku-kun, you are...'

'going to...'

'be mine...'

'tonight...'

'if it...'

'kills me!'

"Girls, I would suggest you all pay attention to this part." Their caterpillar of a teacher, Mr. Aizawa, said in a deadpan tone as he was still in his sleeping bag while teaching.

One of them was blushing while the others were trying their best to hide the fact they were embarrassed, causing some of the surrounding students to give little awkward laughs. Surely, one of them us going to make up for that little event of shame by walking away with abit of minty arm candy later.

It was getting closer and closer to the hour they were suppose to meet up. Most of them were under the impression that they were going to be doing this in casual clothes as the guys had basic clothes on, but all were caught off guard when the girls showed up in their hero outfits.

Mezou Shouji, the holiest unholy half kid half octopus, raised one of his many hands. "Where... we suppose to dress out for this?" The guys all just looked around to pray they weren't being tricked. Oh, you poor children.Momo was the one who walked up. "Well we figured beforehand that it would be best to come in whatever we feel most come in. I thought one of us told you all." The girls knew that was a lie. Their plan was to use their costumes' charm in order to better woo their target. It didn't matter if it was because the enhanced their curves, made them appear more mature or accentuated their personalities hopefully for the better.

However...

There was a strange aura that came off of the girls, and Izuku could feel it. It was as if when the ladies were talking to the guys, their eyes were locked onto him and him alone as he felt just like when everyone gave him death glares during the Sports Festival. It was as if they were singling him out from the other guys, and for some reason, he felt scared. Not like the normal type of scared, but one that could only rival when he is near Kachan alone, like his very life was on the line. If only he could trust this gut and run.

Mina walked up beside Momo. "Alrighty, boys, here in Ground Omega, the only rule is you can't leave the area, otherwise you're disqualified. We'll give you all a 3 minute headstart. The round ends when either 1 hour passes or everyone is found, whichever comes first. Now..."

"Let the games..." 'and the real game 3' Ochako thought as she secretly licked her lips, "...begin!"

The group of boys scattered, and Tooru was about run after the green blur before she was grabbed by the other girls. They need a fair playing field, after all.

Back to the present...

As we return back to Izuku, he cannot help but feel somewhat terrified with this whole ordeal. In order to not feel this fear, he needs to survive this round. Unlike Ground Beta, which had many easy hiding spots, Gamma has next to nothing that isn't tree, tree or more tree. As he stayed in the foliage of his tree and his breath being held for so long, he thought it was finally a good time to breathe out, and that's when he heard a sound that caused a bolt to go right up his back.

A twig being snapped below him.
