It's Okay To Be Yourself

Chapter 15: More and More Like Him

Aizawa's POV:
I entered the class and it was out of control. Everyone was talking and out of there seats. They thought since I was late they could do whatever they wanted, but they were wrong...

"Everyone sit down!" I shouted. Everyone stopped what they were doing and took there seats. "Alright, as you know today you have your tests today, so hand in your phones!"

Everyone starts to moan. "But, Mr. Aizawa," Kaminari said, "you weren't even here for half of the class, there's no way we're going to finish it in time!" "Well," I say, "you should've used this time to study while I was gone. To be honest its you're own fault for not preparing and hoping that you would just miss the test."

Everyone was getting mad and I was worried that they would start a riot, but luckily Ida stepped in.

"Everyone calm yourselves, Mr. Aizawa is right. We should've prepared for this to happen and study beforehand. For all we know, this might've been a test to see how we would react if something like this happened. Thus, the people who fooled around would've failed. As for the test, pro heroes have been trained to have quick thinking because a lot of heroes perform under pressure. So if we can't handle it, we might as well forget being heroes and focus on different careers."

Just like that everyone started thinking differently."Ida's right guys," Kirishima said, "heroes deal with this stuff all the time. If they can do it than so can we, who's with me!" Everyone cheered. I should've just made the test tomorrow.. oh well, too late now.

I start handing in the tests one by one, until everyone had it, then I sat down and waited for the results.
~a few hours later~
"Come on Kaminari!" I said to myself, "Hurry up!" It's been 2 hours, the bell is almost gonna ring. Everyone finished there tests expect for Kaminari and... Jiro? "That's weird." I said to myself.

Usually, Jiro finished before Kaminari, she would never let herself get down to Kaminari's level. Unless, something happened, I had to ask her once class was over. "Done!" Kaminari and Jiro screamed at the same time. Wow, not only did it take her longer to finish the test like Kaminari, but she also finished it at the same time as Kaminari.

"That's weird." I thought to myself again. They handed in the tests and the bell went off. I smirked, "well done, you've completed the test just in time." I looked over at everyone, "class dismissed!" Everyone started leaving, and Jiro was too, but I had to stop her, I had to figure out what was going on.

"Jiro!" I called out, "a moment please." She looked at me with worry, "what, don't tell me you're failing me before I even had a chance to pass!" "What no!" I said, "why would you think that?" "Mr. Aizawa, you should know better than anyone that I'm not the brightest in the class."

"What are you talking about?" I asked, "you may not be the smartest, but you're one of the top ten, you ranked 7 out of the 20 students in this classroom." She looked surprised, "wow really, did my mark jump up or something?" "No?" I said with confusion, "you've always been this rank, I thought I told you..."

"No!" She said, "you told me that I ranked 20 out of the 20 people here, which makes me the dumbest person in the class!" "No.. I told Kaminari that.. is everything okay Jiro?" I asked. She looked at me with concern, something was definitely wrong.

"Jiro," I said, "what's going on?" "Nothing!" She said, "I'm just really worried I'll get a bad mark..." I sighed, "alright, if you say so, but if anything's wrong please tell me..." "don't worry Aizawa-sensei, you can count on me!" She said as she left the classroom.

I knew that she lied about being fine, but she wouldn't spit it out so I knew it was hopeless. The only way to figure out what was going on was if I found out myself. I soon realized seconds after that I made the right decision because as I was looking through the tests I noticed something was off.

Jiro got the same score as Kaminari and they couldn't have been cheating because I didn't see either of them look at each other. What was even more weird is that all the answers they got were the same. Did Jiro get dumber? Or was something else going on? Whatever it was, I had a really bad feeling about it...
