My Past, Present, and Future [Bakugo x Reader x Todoroki]

Chapter 24

"All of these match ups are great. I can see how each one will really test our students, but there's still and odd number of students." Principal Nezu brought up.

"Yes I'm aware." Aizawa sighed.

"Well your only two options are either have someone work alone with a lower leveled hero, or put them in a group of 3." Principal Nezu states the obvious. "All of these parings work, especially when you tell me your reasoning behind them...but you still have one left."

"Well what would you suggest?"

"They are your students and you would know what is best for them.  The only thing I could guide you on is make it fair, go about it in the same way you went about making these teams, weighing out her strengths and weaknesses." The principal shrugged.

Aizawa sighed and leaned forward looking at his list of students. "She's fine with teamwork and fine with confidence. She doesn't have any rivals that interfere with her performance besides the only ones I would consider rivals already have their perfect pairs. She has control over her dominant quirk, she just likes to bite off more than she can chew."

"And what does all that mean for her?"

Aizawa took a moment to think but finally came to a conclusion. "She tends to bite off more than she can chew and needs to learn how to pace herself. Being put alone is a challenge she would want but getting too eager could be her downfall and maybe a wake up call." He closes his folder. "I'm going to keep her by herself."

It was finally time for the exams and Aizawa had gathered our attention. "Let's begin your practical exam," Aizawa started, "It is, of course, possible to fail this exam. If you want to attend the training camp, don't mess this up."

"Sure, there are a lot of teachers here..." Jirou commented while looking around.

"Knowing you guys, you probably asked around and you might have a vague idea of how this will go." Aizawa continued.

"It's a robot rumble, like the entrance exam!" Kaminari stated confidently.

"Fireworks! Curry! Truth or dare!" Mina yelled excitedly for the summer camp.

"Not quite!" Principal Nezu said as he popped out of Aizawa's pocket. "Various circumstances have demanded a revision of the exam format!"

"A revision??" Yaoyorozu repeated, suddenly less prepared.

"Well you see..."  Nezu started as Thirteen helped him get off Aizawa's shoulder. "From now on, we'll focus on battles against flesh-and-blood opponents. It is crucial that our teaching simulates practical experience as closely as possible. As such, you students will be pairing up and fighting one of the teachers you see here!"

"Against a teacher?!" Uraraka yelped.

Oh great! Just the ego damage I needed!

"Your pairings and assigned teacher have already been decided. Your battle moves, your grades, your friendship with one another. All these factors and more were considered, so without further ado,"
Principal Nezu gestured at Aizawa to take a step forward with a bit of a wicked grin plastered on his face. It was like he was proud of the chaos he was about to release.

"First, Todoroki is with Yaoyorozu against me" he started proudly. "Next, Midoriya with Bakugou. And your opponent..."
"Will be me!" All Might announced as he suddenly appeared. "You'll have to work together to win, so come at me, you two!"

"Next, Ashido and Kaminari against the principal." Aizawa continued. "Aoyama and Uraraka against Thirteen. Koda and Jiro against Present Mic. Asui and Tokoyami against Ectoplasm. Sero and Mineta against Midnight. Hagakure and Shoji against Snipe. Sato and Kirishima against Cementoss. lida and Ojiro against Power Loader."
