They believe us to be dead

Win-win

Aizawa POV

As I entered the class, the room was silent. I looked at Kaso and it seemed like he knew who won the bet. I sighed in defeat. I wish I could just wipe his cunning smirk off his sly face! This never usually happens when I bet on something. On the bright side. this has shown me his potential when he isn't trying. Imagine what he could do!

I was snapped out of thought by no. 7 (Tenya Iida) asking "Sensei! Are you ok? Is there anything we have to worry about?". I shook my head and said "It's nothing. Anyways these are the marks for yesterday maths test. You all seemed to struggle with it". I showed a slide that had the marks of each problem child's test from highest to lowest. The class had not that much reaction. Guess they are not surprised.

Suddenly no.7 exclaimed "Sir, it seems as you have done a mistake and wrote Yaoyorozu as second and no one as first!" as he pointed out the 'mistake'. no. 3 (Shoto Todoroki) added on "Where's Kaso's marks" and I answered "Although Momo did well, she struggled on few questions. Kaso however had gotten every one correct. So he is on top.". Some people were amazed by Kaso's marks while other congratulated him.

Kaso didn't react to the praise he was getting but instead waiting for me to say it. Ugh. He said "You might want to give me time to think of something" to which I replied "Fine but we have certain limits". He rolled his eyes while everyone was confused. I explained "If you had noticed during the test, me and Kaso were whispering about how he was sleeping during it. He was certain that he would get everything correct so..." I had my head down at this point "I betted that if he did get a perfect score, I would take the whole class on a trip of his choosing.".

The class turned to Kaso, who was a little shook by this, with little red lights for eyes. Like the ones on guns. They soon clamoured him with suggestions. Iida said to us this opportunity wisely and to use it for something educational. Most of the class asked for a trip to the beach. Jiro hinted that a rock concert was happening and it was near. Some people wanted to go to the cinema.

I look closely at Kaso and noticed that he was actually, oddly uncomfortable with the commotion so I shouted "Quiet. You lot can discuss with him afterwards.". The room felt quiet and I dismissed them to their lesson.

Touya POV

I am so glad that Eraser shut those kids up. I would have had a heart attack if he didn't. I walked to our first class fast so nobody could ask or suggest any ideas for the trip. However one person caught up on cloud. Oboro. He was being annoying by calling my name "Kaso, Kaso," and I spun around "If this is about the trip, I will not hesitate to burn that cloud off your head.". He pulled another 'offended' face and replied "Geez, I only wanted to congratulate you" he then asked "But what are you planning for the trip??".

I thought for a moment. There are plenty of places that I would go to, but they are not pulling me towards them. Plus if I pick something bad, no one would like me or they will think I'm weird. Even though I am technically 24 I need to act like a normal teen. Ugh.

I heard another voice calling my name. It was... Eraser!? Me and Oboro stood as he walked towards us. He said blandly "Congratulations on winning the bet. It seems I underestimated you" I tried not to smile "However as a teacher this is a win-win. My job is to see if how well you do in academic and physical activities. You have clearly shown that you are more than a stubborn teenager.". That urge to smile flashed away.

Eraser now had a grin on his face "You also showed that you have your weaknesses as well as strength. And I don't mean by your quirk but about your own life. When you ran two laps it was because of Bakuguo calling you useless, correct? As well as you beating him in the one vs one battle, yes? Weakness: people thinking you're useless; strength: your stamina and combat. Second was the bet. You didn't want me to think your a coward and unconfident. Weakness: people think you're a coward; strength: academics and confidence.".

I felt my whole face beginning to freeze. How did he get all of that?! Can he read actions or something?! I looked at Oboro who was floating on his cloud staring at us both. Eraser began to walk away "Lessons start in a few minutes. You should talk to the whole class after school about the trip." He yelled. I speed walked to our next class with Oboro behind me.

"You remind me of Shota" he said after a few moments "Quiet, sleepy, bland... ooo! And smart and cool!". I looked at him from the corner of my eye. No way I am like Eraser. He looks homeless as well as... me when I was Dabi. But still I don't see the connection! At all!
