First POV

He led me behind the school building and hasn't spoken a word since we left the classroom, yeah definitely gonna kill me.

Suddenly he stopped walking and turned around, we made eye contact and what I saw in his eyes wasn't the competitive aggressive Bakugou we normally see, his eyes looked like it held something else, something much gentler.

"Look, I'm not one for all this sympathetic shit, but I wanted to thank you..." he said softly, breaking eye contact, "I remember you helping me and Kirishima filled me in after I passed out, so thank you."

I smiled softly, "No need to thank me, I wanted to help you out."

He nodded as he looked back towards me.

"But, I do want you to return the favor," I said with a devilish smirk.

He raised his eyebrow and sighed, "Sure, fine what?"

"You have to agree to be my friend and I get to call you the nickname I gave you," I stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"What I'm not letting you do that! Go to hell!" He screamed angrily.

He obviously wasn't going to do this as a favor, honestly, I just want to be able to embarrass him from time to time. He's always got aggressive energy radiating from his being and sometimes it's just fun to tease him.

I giggled as I walked up to him, snaking my arms around his waist, I looked into his eyes, "Why? Do you not like your nickname?" Leaning in closer I whispered in his ear, "Dandelion~"

His face and ears turned pink as he pushed me off him and tried to hit me with an explosion, to which I crouched and ducked under, quickly I kicked out my leg and kicked his legs making him fall backward. I sprang up and straddled his waist with my hands placed on either side of his head, "Come on just agree, I know you like the nickname considering that you relaxed slightly when I called you it, not to mention your face gets red whenever I do. Don't worry, I won't call you it all the time, only when I'm sure the others won't hear. So do we have a deal, dandelion~?"

Rolling his eyes, he pushed me off of him and held out his hand, "Fine, but if you mention anything about this nickname or what happened, I will kill you."

I shook his hand with a big smile plastered on my face, "Deal!"

*time skip*

"Alright, put your pencils down. The last person in each row, bring the answer sheets to me." Aizy announced to the class.

Finally! I absolutely HATE taking tests! The silence, the awkwardness, the tense atmosphere, the silent cries of classmates as their souls slowly leave their body out of pure frustration is all so suffocating! Ok, the last one is pretty hilarious, but still!

I finished the test about thirty minutes early, I think I did well. I guess reading all the time and doing those online courses were useful after all.

And after all that sitting around, I definitely needed to let out some steam and move around, and a good fight was the medicine.

We all met up at the Center Plaza, everyone was in their hero costumes and lined up, waiting for instructions.

There were eight heroes lined up also in their hero costumes, which included Aizy, Present Mic, Midnight, Thirteen, Ectoplasm, Cementoss, Powerloader, and Snipe.

"Now then, let's begin the last test. Remember, it's possible to fail this final, so if you wanna go to camp, then don't make any stupid mistakes," Aizy stated.

"Uh, why are all the teachers here?" Jiro asked quietly.

"I expect many of you have gathered information and believe you have some idea of what you'll be faced with today."

"We're fighting those big ol' metal robots!" Denki exclaimed. I swear he is such an airhead sometimes....never mind he is one almost all the time.

"Fireworks, s'mores! Here we come camp!" Mina yelled along with him. No wonder those two were at the bottom of the class...

"Actually, this year's tests," said a familiar voice. Suddenly, Nezu popped out of Aizy's scarf like a damn magic trick, "will be completely different for various reasons!"

I snorted as I began to laugh, "Sup Nezu, so does Aizy agree to carry you around, or do you just do it for fun? Cause I can't tell if Mr.Grumpy Pants over there is dying inside or already dead."

Aizy activated his quirk, making his hair float and his eyes shine red as he glared at me.

"Now settle down you two," Nezu stated as he used Aizy's scarf as a rope to lower himself to the ground, "The tests have a new focus. There will be hero work of course, but also teamwork and combat between actual people. So what does that mean for you? You students will be working in pairs and your opponents will be one of your esteemed UA teachers, isn't that fabulous!"

Gasps of shock and worry sounded throughout the group. This is gonna be great.

I giggled, resting my hand on my waist, "Damn Nezu, you really pulled all the stops huh? Your sadistic side is showing."

His head turned towards me, "Don't worry Alex, your test will be slightly different given the odd amount of students within this class."

I tilted my head in confusion, "That makes sense, but what is it?"

"Oh, don't worry," his beady little eyes pierced my own as he showed his seemingly innocent smile, "You'll just have to wait and see..."

I don't like the sound of that, fuck.

"Your partners and opponents have already been chosen. They were determined at my discretion based on various factors including fighting style, grades, and interpersonal relationships. First, Yaoyorozu and Todoroki are a team," He began to smile just as creepy as the rat, "against me."

Haha, I wouldn't wanna be in their shoes right now. Though, he might go easy on them since they are his students after all.....nevermind.

"Then we have Midoriya paired with Bakugou, and their opponent is-"

"I am here to fight!" Allmight said as he made his big grand entrance, "You're going to have to work together boys if you want to win!"

"Now, let's announce the teams and the teachers they'll be fighting in order!"

Round 1: Sato & Kirishima VS. Cementoss

Round 2: Tokoyami & Asui VS. Ectoplasm

Round 3: Iida & Ojiro VS. Powerloader

Round 4: Yaoyorozu & Todoroki VS. Eraserhead

Round 5: Aoyama & Uraraka VS. Thirteen

Round 6: Ashido & Kaminari VS. Nezu

Round 7: Jiro & Koda VS. Present Mic

Round 8: Hagakure & Shoji VS. Snipe

Round 9: Sero & Shinsou VS. Midnight

Round 10: Midoriya & Bakugou VS. Allmight

Round 11: Kurosaki VS. (undetermined)

"To complete the exam, you'll have 30 minutes. In order to win, your objective is to put these handcuffs on your teacher or you can win if one of you manages to escape from the combat stage," Nezu explains to everyone.

"So we've either got to capture the teacher or run away, it's basically like the combat training," Denki pointed out.

"Yeah, but is it really okay to just jet?" Mina asked with her hand raised.

"Yup!"

"It's gonna be much different from that combat training you all went through earlier. After all, you're up against people who are way better than you!" Mic stated.

"Better? Really, aren't you just the announcer?"

Mic seemed offended as he started shouting and ranting about showing respect to your teachers, it was honestly hilarious. With the two village idiots going up against a brain like Nezu and Bakugou and Midoriya being paired up going against Allmight, not to mention my undetermined match, this practical was going to be very entertaining.
