IIDA(Loudly)Attention, classmates! To foster synergistic cooperation, we shall engage in the traditional icebreaker: Two Truths and a Lie! Please, keep your statements concise and hero-appropriate!IZUKU(Muttering, scribbling in a notebook)Two truths... a lie... strategy-wise, I should pick something obscure about my childhood, but not too obscure, or it’ll seem—BAKUGO(From the couch)This is stupid. I’m leaving.KIRISHIMA(Grabbing Bakugo’s arm)Come on, Bakugo! It’s about manliness! Testing your intuition!IIDAI shall begin! One: I have a strict 10:00 PM bedtime. Two: My favorite juice is orange. Three: I once purposefully ran a yellow light!TSUYU(Ribbit)Three is the lie. You’d never break a traffic law, Iida-chan.IIDA(Slumping)...Correct. It was a shameful thing to even lie about. Next! Todoroki-kun!TODOROKI(Deadpan)Fine. One: I’ve never eaten a burger. Two: My father is the Number One Hero. Three: I can’t actually feel my left side.SEROWait—number three?! Is that the lie?!TODOROKINo. The burger thing is the lie. I had one once. It was... messy.KAMINARIWait, so you CAN’T feel your left side?!TODOROKI(Staring into space)It’s complicated.MINA(Jumping up)My turn! My turn! One: I can melt a lock in five seconds. Two: I’ve never seen a scary movie. Three: I think Bakugo’s hair looks like a Pomeranian!BAKUGO(Exploding a nearby pillow)WHAT DID YOU SAY, RACCOON EYES?!IIDAAshido-kun! Please! That is a subjective opinion, not a fact-based statement!AOYAMA(Twirling)My turn! One: I was born sparkling. Two: I—BAKUGO(Icy)One: I’m going to kill all of you. Two: I’m going to become the Number One Hero. Three: I actually like spending time with you idiots.URARAKA(Softly)The third one is definitely the lie... right?BAKUGO(Quietly, teeth clenched)Maybe it’s the second one.THE CLASS(Gasps in horror)The room descends into absolute chaos. Kaminari is trying to poke Todoroki’s left side to see if he feels it. Mineta is crying. Bakugo is actively chasing Mina around the sofa with explosions. Tokoyami is standing in a corner whispering about the "duality of man."IIDA(Blowing a whistle, ignored)Class! This is not fostering synergy! We are failing the objective! Bakugo-kun, put the fire out! Todoroki-kun, please clarify your medical status!Iida drops his head into his hands as a stray explosion singes the "Bonding Activities" chart he spent three hours making.IIDA(A whisper)...We are never going to be a functional team.
