"Your indoor combat training is over. The hero team wins!" All Might beams. All the other students gasp as they watch the screens of the teams that just finished.
"What a weird way for this to end. The losers are practically untouched besides Takahashi and the winners are both on the ground," Kaminari says.
"How does the old saying go? They may've lost the battle, but they won the war," Tokoyami responds.
"This class is intense," Asui says.
All Might makes it to the building the training was done with the transpo-bots. Though injured myself, I help put Izukun, who is unconscious, on the stretcher.
"To the nurse's office," one transpo-bot says.
"I know," the other says as they carry him off. I look over to see Kacchan having what appears to be an anxiety attack. All Might walks up to him and puts a hand on his shoulder.
"Young Bakugo. Cool your jets. Let's go review your work. Whether you win or lose, you can always take something away from an experience like this. As long as you're open to learning. Young Takahashi," he says looking back in my direction, "you should go to the nurse's office as well."
"I'll be fine," I manage to say. "I want to finish class if that's all right."
"Mm," he says with a head nod before walking off.
"Akari, you got hurt?" Kacchan asks me as if finally realizing I am still here.
"Uh, yes I got hurt, you're the one who did it!" I yell at him in annoyance but wince in pain from it.
"How?"
"Seriously? When you pushed me away! Your gauntlet went straight into my ribs—you didn't even hold back! Thanks to you, when I fell, I hit my head as well," I answer angrily.
"I didn't real—"
"Of course, you didn't, Idiot. You were too busy trying to prove you are the strongest person again. Why would you ever worry about those around you, especially me," I interrupt.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" he shouts.
"I think you know exactly what I mean," I respond walking off from him and the conversation. I follow All Might into a room that my other classmates are in while trying to hide the intensity of my pain.
"Well, despite the results. The MVP of this exercise is Young Iida!" All Might announces. Everyone in the class gasps.
"Huh?!" Iida lets out shocked.
"Shouldn't it be one of the heroes instead, since they're the winners?" Asui asks.
"Mm! Valid question. Why didn't I choose one of those two? Who has a guess?" All Might asks the class.
