Today is Friday, which means... the Practical Exam. I was nervous, I trained with Bakugou some more yesterday after school, but I couldn't turn that damn tv off... I just made the screen have static, but the blond said that was an advance.

After changing into our hero costumes, we were all standing right in front of the teachers, something that made me a bit sceptical about what the test was actually about.

And I was right.

Maybe, in the past years, our senpais, fought against robots, but this year was different for us. Might be because of all the villains' attacks this class has had. Aizawa was letting us know who our teammate was. I got paired with Shoji-kun against Snipe-sensei.

This would be fun...

//////

Shoji and I debated for a bit about what to do, but I thought about just improvising or thinking about it when we fight him, that would be a real way to deal with a villain. He seemed conformed with what I said but told me he was going to be thinking about some plans we could have. I wanted to go watch the others, so I ran to the TV room, where Izuku and Uraraka were.

"Oh, hello (M/n)-kun, you're gonna watch too?" I nodded and stood beside him. "Kirishima-kun and Sato-kun failed though," a grimace made its way to my face.

"Yeah, I know," I muttered before focusing on the screen showing the second team.

'Team Asui-Tokoyami, practical exam. Ready? Go!' The robotic male voice said.

Midoriya was making some observations and Recovery Girl was making them too. Soon, we watched as they reached the end and Dark Shadow captured Ectoplasm, meaning they passed. The rest of the exams went by pretty entertaining, and the more people finished, the more were coming here to watch. Tsuyu, Iida and Yaoyorozu were now here with us.

But while Yaoyorozu and Todoroki were still on their exams, Uraraka walked out, saying something about getting ready for her exam with Aoyama. We all wished her luck and she smiled happily at us.

We kept watching for a while, and Uraraka soon came back. The next team, Kaminari and Ashido, sadly failed, now Koda and Jiro were up next.

I watched them for a bit, feeling my own ears ring at the mere thought of having to deal with Present Mic's screams. But, now I had to go get ready with Shoji-kun.

"Well, I'm gonna get going guys, see ya." They all said in unison 'Goodluck (M/n)-kun!', interchanging it with 'chan' while Yaoyoruzu just added 'san' to my last name, while I walked out of the TV room and went where the bus would be waiting for me.

There, Snipe sensei and Shoji were expecting me.

"Sorry, I was watching Koda and Jiro's progress," Shoji nodded as he understood and Snipe signalled to the bus with a move of his head.

"Well, hop on, (L/n)."

Now, this situation wasn't good at all for us. Snipe sensei was shooting at us nonstop while Shoji and I covered our bodies behind the pillars, but we were running out of walls because too many bullet holes made them collapse.

"We have to think of something, (L/n)-kun," I frantically nodded at Shoji's words, and tried to think of something quickly.

"The only way to do this is if I could stop his body, but with all of his shooting I can't do it," my eyes trailed up to the ceiling, "It's gonna fall, run." I grabbed one of Shoji's arms and dragged him with me to the next pillar.

"I could distract him, but I'm not sure it will work," right when Shoji ended his sentence, a cloud of smoke covered the entire place. That's some nice timing.

I sneaked slowly around Snipe sensei, sometimes his bullets would go past me, but it seemed like it was hard for him to tell where I was, and luck seemed to be on my side for now, I just had to be quick.

I could see the faint silhouette of Snipe getting closer and closer, and I also saw Shoji in front of him with his hands up.

Now it's the time.

My quirk activated and I stared at his arms, which were the dangerous ones because of the gun on his right hand.

...5.

He made a surprised noise the very moment I had control over his muscles, and I ran at him, putting the cuff around his wrist.

"We made it." I held my hand up to make a high-five with the octopus guy.

'Team (L/n)-Shoji has successfully finished their exam.'

When I entered the TV room, Izuku wasn't gone yet, he was watching what was left of Mineta and Sero's exam. The green-haired curly boy turned around and walked to the door, glancing at me and smiling a bit.

"Well done, (M/n)-kun." I smiled back and he left the room. In the end, Mineta and Sero passed.

"Deku-kun already left?" I nodded at Uraraka's question and walked to stand on Tsuyu's right side. Ready to watch Midoriya and Bakugou's test.

'Team Midoriya-Bakugou, practical exam. Ready? Go!'

At first, they were just walking, but Midoriya seemed to be talking to him. And then Bakugou hit him with his gauntlet.

A gasp left my lips as Midoriya fell to the ground and I saw Bakugou's angry face.

You really hate Deku, don't you Katsuki?

They yelled at each other some more, and on another screen, I could see All Might getting ready to act. A big gush of wind was caused by just his arms moving forward and that left me with my mouth open. He caused so much destruction by just... Punching air.

//////

By the end of their exam, I was worried sick about Bakugou, I just wanted to run to him and hug him, I couldn't keep watching how he destroyed himself. But in the end, Izuku punched All Might with a weird smile on his face and picked up an unconscious Bakugou, running past the gate.

Tsuyu and Uraraka were holding hands and jumping happily, Yaomomo and Iida were also happy about them passing their exam. But I just wanted to go see Bakugou.

"Recovery Girl..." I called her when I saw her getting up to leave, "Can I go with you to see Bakugou?" She seemed hesitant about it, but I guessed the worry in my eyes convinced her and she sighed while walking to the door.

"Okay, but you'll have to wait until I heal him, got it?" With a nod, I walked behind her, following her steps to the infirmary.

//////

When All Might walked out of the room, he signalled me to come in. I thanked him and walked inside. "Young Bakugou is still unconscious, but young Midoriya is awake," he whispered and I nodded.

He left, walking a bit slowly. He was probably feeling guilty, I kinda heard Recovery Girl scolding him about Izuku's back. My feet took me to Bakugou's bed, his resting face and body all dirty, and when I looked at Midoriya's pose I almost laughed, almost.

"Hey, Deku. How're you feeling?" My voice was low, trying not to wake Katsuki up. I lift my hand and touch his hair. His spikes were surprisingly soft, which only made me want to play more with it.

"Oh, hello (M/n)-kun, I'm fine thank you, how's Kacchan?" I made my feet walk around Bakugou's bed and sat by the blonde's right side.

"Unconscious." He just hummed as a response.

I couldn't take my eyes off of him but I still noticed Izuku's head turning to look at me. He hesitated before saying something.

"What is it, Deku?" My words were barely above a whisper, but at least it seemed like it made Izuku feel reassured about what he wanted to tell me.

"Do you... like Kacchan?"
