MHA One-Shot Stories

Possibilities of What Might Have Been

Summary:
—————————————————

Another ordinary day in class bombards Aizawa with the following realizations:

1. Todoroki and Bakugou could actually agree on something without the world ending.

2. Midoriya Izuku, for all his smiles and baby-faced looks, would have been a terrifying enemy.

3. Kaminari can actually cause a class introspection. Ergo, all this is his fault.

OR

Aizawa Shouta and Class 1A realize how lucky they are that Midoriya Izuku didn't end up a villain. He finally gets to see the notebooks.

It starts with a joke made by Kaminari during class.

Aizawa Shouta had once again resigned his fate of the day to the hands of his ever-reliable sleeping bag. Today was a slow day, so he had given his class the freedom of a self-study while he supervised. Granted, Aizawa's version of supervising involved curling up on the floor like a sleep deprived man, it didn't stop his ears and senses, enough for him to not know if his students were about to do something stupid. It also doesn't escape him that "self-study" will probably evolve into some form of gossip, probably except for Iida who would actually take the time to study, but he figures his students have earned it.  

He's huddled up in front of the blackboard, just behind the small podium located front and center of the classroom and is lightly dozing, when he hears it start. And it really shouldn't have come as a surprise anymore that it's Kaminari who starts it.

"So, now that we've all got a good idea on everyone's quirks and all? Who do you guys think would have made a badass villain?" He asks with a smirk.

This silences most of the class for a moment before Iida, because of course it's Iida, probably frowns and proceeds with his wild hand gesticulations. "Kaminari! We should never contemplate the possibility of one of our own turning to villainy!"

"I don't mean anything by it man! I was just thinking which one of us would be hard to take down when we find em' on the opposite side, y'know?" Kaminari replies with a shrug.

"I'd rather not consider one of our own as an enemy to analyze." Yayaorozu says with a sigh. Part of Aizawa can't help but agree, he didn't really want to picture any of his students on the opposite side of the battlefield.

"But you have to admit, his question's not too bad yeah?" Kirishima says in agreement "We know each other's quirks at this point, including weaknesses and stuff right? Makes for a good way to pass the time, I think."

"It might provide a good insight with our own quirks-kero." Aizawa can just imagine Asui placing a finger to her chin in contemplation as she continues. "Most of our quirks work well together, and the only time we've ever had to look at them working against one another is during on-the-spot exam fights or during the sports festival. We usually have exercises to hone strengths, not pick apart each other's weaknesses. "

"Right? Plus, I kinda wanna know who everyone thinks would be the most capable villain against everyone else here." Kaminari's smirking again, Aizawa can just picture it in his minds eye. "What do you guys think?"

This opens up a plethora of answers from majority of the class, with everyone eventually contributing to the idea of which one of them would make a powerful opponent against other people in the room. Even Iida, who seems to have forgotten that he didn't want to be a part of this conversation, pitches in with some ideas and tactical strategies against some of his formidable classmates.
