Chapter 81: Pro Heros



The snow fell gently outside U.A. High School, blanketing the campus in a cozy, wintry wonderland. Inside the teachers' lounge, however, was a different story. The room buzzed with excitement as the teachers of U.A. prepared for their first-ever Christmas movie night. Under the flickering lights, decorations transformed the space into a festive haven, thanks to Midnight and Mount Lady's inspired planning.

Midnight flitted around the room, her signature dark-purple attire now transformed into a festive red-and-green pajama set adorned with snowflakes and candy canes. Mount Lady, equally spirited in her oversized Christmas-themed onesie complete with a reindeer print, hung shimmering ornaments from the silver tinsel draped across the walls. "It's perfect!" Midnight exclaimed, twirling to show off the matching pajamas before stopping to fasten a bow on a nearby green-and-white tablecloth.

As the clock ticked closer to the start time, the teachers began to shuffle in one by one. All Might entered first, his usual boisterous spirit paired with a festive Santa hat perched atop his spiky blonde hair. "I am here to spread holiday cheer!" he announced loudly, eliciting a chorus of cheerful chuckles.

Next came Aizawa, who trudged in with an expression that suggested he'd rather be anywhere else. Yet, even he couldn't resist a smile when he spotted the decorations. "You two went all out," he grunted, though the hint of a smirk creased his lips.

"Of course! It's Christmas!" Midnight chimed, handing him a mug filled with hot cocoa topped with whipped cream. "Try this. It'll warm you up!"

Hawks floated in next, embracing the warmth of friendship and tradition with his own festive pajamas patterned with little holly leaves. "Do I get a vote on this movie?" he teased, glancing over at the screen where the title "The Polar Express" flashed.

"Don't be a scrooge, Hawks!" Present Mic, wearing an eye-watering green ensemble, shouted as he arrived with a large bowl of popcorn. "Christmas is about joy and magic! And if we're in for a night of nostalgia, we're going for the full experience!"

"Speaking of experience, where's Endeavor?" Rock Lock asked, his scarf flapping slightly as he paced back and forth. "He better not ruin the mood."

Just as he spoke, Endeavor entered with a frown marring his stony features, though even he sported a flannel pajama set that was perfectly festive. "You all are ridiculous," he muttered, but his hard disposition softened as he caught sight of the decorated lounge. "And judging by the decor, I'd say we're in for an interesting evening," he added begrudgingly.

"You'll love it, Endeavor. Come on, no grumpiness allowed!" Recover Girl smiled brightly as she shuffled in, clutching a tray of holiday-themed cookies.

Finally, with Nezu leading the charge, Edge Shot split through the air elegantly, his ninja attire converted into a snug pair of Christmas-themed pajama pants. "Can't wait to watch the magic unfold!" Nezu squeaked, his tiny paws clapping together in excitement.

With all the teachers and pros present, they settled into their seats, snacks in hand, prepared to whisk themselves away to the enchanting world of the Polar Express.

As the movie began, laughter and chatter faded into the background. They watched as the train ventured across mystical landscapes, and the joy of childhood and the true essence of Christmas filled the air. "Look at all the hot chocolate!" Midnight laughed, nudging Hawks playfully. "Can we serve that during the movie? It's practically essential!"

"And cookies!" Present Mic chimed in, nearly moaning with delight as a holiday cookie was passed his way.

As the story unfolded, the teachers found themselves transported back to their own childhood, reminded of the power of believing in magic. The robust laughter that erupted whenever a silly mishap occurred on screen reminded them, too, of their own quirks and misadventures—Aizawa falling asleep during action sequences, All Might gasping loudly at every twist, and even Endeavor rolling his eyes at an overly dramatic moment.

When the story came to its heartfelt climax, the room fell silent, and all eyes were glued to the screen. The poignant message of belief and wonder resonated deeply amid the camaraderie and warmth that filled the room.

At the end of the movie, cheers erupted. "Best movie night ever!" Midnight exclaimed, throwing her arms up dramatically.

Hawks stretched, a content smile on his face. "I'll admit, I was wrong about this. It was actually kinda fun."

"Next time, it'll be my selection!" Present Mic declared, his enthusiasm palpable.

As they began to clean up after the movie, the teachers of U.A. shared stories, laughter, and plans for future gatherings under the radiant glow of twinkling lights. In that moment, amidst cookies, cocoa, and memories, the holiday spirit flourished, uniting them not just as colleagues, but as a family bound by their shared experiences and the magic of a snowy night spent together.
