Professor Paradox

Chapter 12: News

...

"Team Heroes win this round!!"
All might cheered through the speakers for all to hear. Bakugo grinned a toothy grin as he stood proud, he had basically won single handedly. Todoroki sat there in defeat, he was too late.

"HA, BASICALLY SINGLE HANDEDLY"
Bakugo cackled, explosions popping out of his hand.
Monoma still struggled in the ice, and Bakugo's gloat made it all the more annoying.

"Please make your ways to the spectator room for the a group discussion"
Midoriya said, noting Bakugo's arrogance.

Todoroki melted Monoma from the ice, Bakugo didn't stick around to watch as he quickly made his way out of the room and to the room where his two mentors and the remainder of his classmates were.

Many of them clapped upon his entrance, not realizing that Todoroki, Iida, and Monoma were just far enough so that when their claps faded out they would walk in.

Bakugo gloated in all of the attention, he glanced all around at the different faces giving him approval.
Though, upon looking up and seeing Midoriya, he found a look of slight disapproval.
It threw him off and made him come to a silent stop.

"Now that you're all here, let's discuss who the MVP of that round was!"
All might said as everyone gathered around to speak.

"Well it was pretty obvious who it was."
Kaminari said, pointing out Bakugo.

"Elaborate Kaminari"
Midoriya said.

"That's not my strong suit professor"
Kaminari replied with an awkward chuckle.

"Can anyone elaborate on who they think the MVP is and why?"
Midoriya asked.

Yaoyorozu raised her hand, "I would like to"

"Go ahead"

"I believe the MVP of the round was Bakugo, he went in and was able to quickly adapt to the fight. He went on and fought both Iida and Todoroki before securing the weapon himself. All damage done to the building was done by Todoroki's ice as well"
She explained.

Midoriya nodded his head, "does anyone disagree or believe there was another MVP?"
He asked.

No one raised their hands, agreeing to what she had said.
Midoriya glanced around, his eyes met Bakugo's who looked to be in slight worry of just what he could be thinking about the round.

"there were 2 MVPs.

While Bakugo did play an important role and in the end was the reason his team won, Todoroki put up just the same amount of effort.

Todoroki not only came up with a plan, but he executed it and stuck with it til the end.
He played good defense and had good thought in icing up the weapon to keep the heroes from getting to it. Not to mention, Todoroki also kept fighting til the end.
There wasn't a moment during the round where he gave up.

Bakugo did a great job as well,I can see why you would all think of him to be the MVP. But he didn't try to come up with any cohesive plan nor did he work well with his teammate."
Midoriya explained, knocking Bakugo's ego down a couple notches.

Bakugo sat there, slightly embarrassed. He took constructive criticism well, but not Infront of other people. He could feel every word of critique slam his ego. It was humbling, and he already had a feeling as to why Midoriya had been saying what he had been saying.
His earlier looks said it all.

Todoroki on the other hand felt like his efforts weren't futile, he had actually gotten something from it.

"Now.
Let's commence the other rounds"
Midoriya said, signalling for all might to select the next two letters.
