Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 172 - And there's nothing to hold

Midoriya and Shinsou walked into the classroom. Most of their classmates were already in class, with the exception of Sato, who was apparently just cleaning up the kitchen and would arrive in a minute or two. They hastily took their seats, and Iida glanced over at them, acknowledging that they were in class, before he peered out of the classroom, waiting for Sato and looking out for Aizawa.

It didn't take too long for the sugar-quirked boy to arrive in class, and the entire classroom quietened down as Aizawa walked into the classroom, looking even more tired than usual.

"Alright. For this homeroom lesson, there are two things that I would like to address." Aizawa sighed, "First, your end-of-year examinations will be taking place in two weeks."

There were very loud, audible groans from Ashido, Kaminari, and Sero, and from the ruckus from the 1-B class just next door, Aizawa guessed that Kan had also just told them about the examinations.

"You don't have a choice, so don't complain." Aizawa just shook his head, "I know that some of you might not understand why you need examinations while you are training to be heroes. Some of you might want to pursue other things, like degrees, after graduating from high school. However, even when you do become heroes in the future, you will need to know other skills for important things, like taxes."

"Taxes sound disgusting." Ashido stuck her tongue out.

Without missing a beat, Aizawa continued, "Anyway, Principal Nezu will be covering that course in your second or third year. What's important is that you pass all your examinations. Frankly speaking, I don't really care too much how much you pass by; if you can pass, that should be good enough. And if you fail, you would have to be held back until you do pass the papers, which is undesirable and a complete waste of time, because it can also push back your graduation from UA. It shouldn't be too hard to pass anyways; if you paid attention in class, you should do decently."

Iida raised his hand, "What about the other matter? You said that there were two."

"Yes. I was just getting to that." Aizawa let out another sigh, "I'm sure some of you were curious as to why the "supply run" at the vending machine at Ketsubutsu Academy took so long."

Midoriya visibly froze up, clenching his fists tightly.

Kirishima blinked, "You mean, it wasn't because the vending machine was broken and was spitting the bills back out and not giving them snacks?"

Aizawa shook his head, "No. There was a villain within the premises of Ketsubutsu Academy. Four of our students were involved in the situation, but they managed to get out without any major injuries, luckily. We asked the students involved not to talk about it until we figured out just what was going on."

"So... it's all dealt with, right?" Yaoyorozu raised her hand, and Aizawa nodded, "Yeah, we've mostly dealt with it."

He pulled up his signature yellow sleeping bag, and sank to the ground, "You have the rest of the homeroom lesson to yourselves. Just don't make a ruckus."

-------------------------

Aizawa let out a long, loud sigh as he pushed the door of the teacher's lounge open.

While he did know that the kids had to know about what had happened in Ketsubutsu, but he didn't think that they would be so loud about it. He had tried his best to take a nap, since he had taken two night shifts back to back to make up for missing his shifts for the Ketsubutsu trip, but 1-A had been so noisy, trying to find out more information about the villain attack.

Shinsou had mostly hung out with Midoriya while they talked with Iida, Uraraka, Koda, and Todoroki, though Aizawa was pretty sure instead of talking about the incident, it was mostly Iida lightly scolding them for lying, despite understanding that they weren't allowed to talk about what really happened at the time.
