We had gotten a lot of ideas about what the practical test might be like, but none of us had thought about it.
Us against our teachers.

Our team consists of me, Shoto and Momo and we are up against Aizawa.
Right now we are heading to where the exam will take place and I am incredibly calm, which is very strange for me.
It's probably because the last few events I've faced have been more tiring than a test at school.
"Are you ready?" I ask, turning to Momo, who is supersensitive. The girl nods without another word. Since the sports festival she has become strange, as if she is not sure if she is saying what she really thinks.
The gate opens and the start is given.

We look at each other for a few seconds before Shoto begins to speak.
"Yaoyorozu! Keep using your uniqueness to build small objects. When you are no longer able to, it will mean that Aizawa is close."
"If you can distract him by drawing his attention to you I think I can pin him to the ground. Momo while we do this you try to escape!" I say running to Shoto's side with the girl behind us following.

Momo continues to build Matryoshkas as we start to get into a good rhythm.
"You guys are really amazing." The girl interrupts the silence by making us turn around.
"In what way?"
"Both of you have really outstanding practical and strategic qualities and skills. You managed in a short time to think of a plan to stop Aizawa. I have none of these things worth mentioning. Even at the tournament, I couldn't do anything against you Mei." Momo tells us incuporatingly.

I am about to retort but realize that there are no more Matryoshkas around.
"Yaoyorozu.. The Matryoshkas.." Shoto says having noticed them too.
Aizawa is above our heads hanging thanks to his headbands.
I immediately notice that my quirk has been deactivated and kick toward my professor who deftly avoids it.
"YAOMOMO RUN!" I shout toward her as she seems to recover and run the other way.
"How kind of you to sacrifice yourself for a comrade." My body is wrapped in Aizawa's wraps as well as Shoto's. Our backs collide before Aizawa pulls us up and leaves us hanging.

I try to struggle to free myself but soon realize that it is completely useless.
"You have the wrong strategy my boys, you thought of everything without agreeing on what to do calmly. It would have been better, wouldn't it?" The professor tells us by adjusting his glasses on his face.
With that said he walks away leaving us alone with our thoughts.
"Geez..." I say letting my head fall forward.
For the moment it's all in Momo's hands.
But I have faith in her.

"We should have listened to her, too. She wanted to tell us something." I say more to myself than to Shoto.
The two-tone nods and leans his head back against me.
"Mei..."
"Tell me." I would love to turn to look at him but it is impossible for me.

Shoto is about to say something but Momo's voice interrupts us.
"MEI! TODOROKI!" The girl runs toward us and we notice Aizawa in the distance approaching.
"YAOYOROZU! YOU HAVE A PLAN RIGHT?" Shoto shouts from behind me.
"Forgive us Momo! We did our own thing when we should have listened to you." I say looking at her.
"But your plan didn't work, mine did too..." The girl starts to say but I immediately interrupt her.
"Leave it alone now! I know you are the best at creating strategies! When it came to voting for class president remember you got two votes! One was mine! Because I know how good you are Momo!" Yaomomo glares at me as the professor has completely caught up with us.

"CLOSE YOUR EYES!" We do as the girl tells us and an explosion makes its way over our heads.
Momo takes advantage of the light to pull us down and I am really proud of her.
"YES I HAVE A PLAN TO WIN. A STRATEGY!" She yells at us as Shoto helps me remove the rest of the bands still around my body.
We start running and following her.
"We have to hide and get out of the master's field of vision!" She tells us as we enter a narrow alley.
"But then we couldn't use our uniqueness. Especially me." I say continuing to follow her.
"Do as I say! And Todoroki get ready to use frost! You must attack the instant his eyes close. You must use the same attack you used at the festival." Momo explains.

So at the precise moment his eyes close, Shoto creates a huge wall of ice that finally separates us from the professor.
I stand still in front of the ice knowing that we are quiet for the moment.
"We can use our specialties now." Says the two-tone as we turn to look at Momo.

And damn.
Yaomomo has opened his costume to create what is Master Aizawa's weapon.
The boy immediately turns away out of politeness while I remain watching respectfully.

"It's Professor Aizawa's weapon isn't it?" Shoto asks from behind.
The girl resets herself as she begins to tell us her plan.
"Do you have any objections?" She asks us.
"No." We answer in unison, the two-toned man and I.
Momo passes the long sash between my hands so Shoto and I hide where she told us.
Yaomomo leaves as a distraction and peeks out in front of our professor from behind a cloak.
The professor gets distracted and this is where our moment comes.
I levitate myself along with the whole totally open sash.

With my quirk, I twist it around our professor.
"NOW TODOROKI! GO WITH THE FLAMES!" Shoto immediately follows Momo's order and launches a fire attack on Aizawa.
The bands, once in contact with the heat, harden around our professor's body.

We did it.
