They believe us to be dead

The gamble

Aizawa POV

Nezu just told me that Ectoplasm couldn't come in today due to a sudden flu. I would have to teach the problem children maths for their last lesson. Great. Just what I need. However I have a pleasant surprise for them when they come from English. It can shut them up. Also I'd like to see how Tado and Kaso are doing. Mic just texted me about Oboro's journal. I am going to kill that woman. But also I would like to see Kaso's full potential.

The problem children started to arrive and were surprised. No. 4 (Denki Kamanari) and No. 6 (Mina Ashido) already knew their fate. As I was announcing Ectoplasm's sudden flu, Kaso and Tado walked in late. I noticed that Tado was rubbing his head as though someone slapped him on the back of his head. "Boys. Why are you late?" I questioned but Kaso headed to his seat. "Sorry! Slight delay!!" Tado said and I told him to take his seat.

After registration, I gave out sheets with at least fifty questions. Most of the class were either worried, bothered or both. I said "You have the rest of the lesson to complete these sheets of questions you probably haven't done yet. No noise. No cheating. This is apart of your grade. Go." Of course the grade bit was a lie but who cares. I fell asleep on my chair.

I woke up and they were still doing their test and some looked troubled. Even Momo and Iida. As I peered across the room I saw a purple, spiky haired boy with his head down sleeping. Kaso is really trying to get out of here.

I walked over and tapped him, instantly waking him up. He complained quietly "Whaaat?", I raised eyebrow "Are you done? You shouldn't be sleeping. You still have time". He whispered annoyed "Well I AM done" and I looked at his sheets on the desk . I informed "You could check your answers" but he replied in a moody tone "No, I think good". He couldn't have finished it in that much time as well as be sure he got everything correct.

An idea hit me like a flash. I could use this as my advantage. I challenged him "How about a little gamble, Kaso?" I said unamused "If you get all these questions correct; I'll treat this whole class to a trip of your choosing" I made sure no one else heard us "But if you get at least two wrong, you would have to engage in lessons.". A look of thought was painted on his face. He said "Prepare the money for the trip" quietly so only I could hear. I took his papers and headed to the desk.

No way he can win.

Mic POV

I was cooking in the kitchen and was making hamburgers for dinner and apple crumble for dessert. Toshi is helping Eri with her science homework and Shota is in his room. I decided to check on him and told Toshi to watch to burger meat. The room was in dim light and my messy haired husband was marking papers. "Hey Shota, how's the math quiz coming along?" I cooed so he wouldn't get distracted.

He sighed "Everything is as predicted. Nothing new. But Tado scored 78%." I replied jokingly "Well... it's a bit better than Oboro" making us both laugh. He flicked through "Ahh, the one I have been hoping for... Kaso" he explained "He thinks he would win our little gamble". I know about the offer that Shota gave to Kaso.

Shota started to mark the paper and I thought out loud "Kaso always handles explaining Tado's trauma... it's a bit weird".

Shota replied "It is strange but Tado always seems down when his past is brung up. So I think Kaso is just a good friend, even though he is stubborn". I agreed to his point. I mean I wouldn't like to talk about anything if I had an experienced a life like that.

Suddenly out of nowhere Shota shouted "Oh my god!" And jumped up. I looked at the sheets and the only thing I saw that was in red pen was a huge amount of ticks. "So your saying that he won the gamble without telling he won the gamble..." I dazed as Shota was widen eyed.  He finally sighed "Guess he is too good...academically and physically" he let a long sigh "Guess he won a trip with the whole class".
