The Avatar ~ Izuku Midoriya

041

----

It was exam week and I was already dying. The only thing that kept me going was the soon date with Zuku that was coming up. So close... We tried not to be awkward in front of our friends and it seemed to work because they haven't asked us anything yet.

After three days of written exams it was time for the practical and for some reason all the teachers were here.

"Now then... Let's begin the last test. Remember, it's possible to fail this final. If you want to go to camp, then don't make any stupid mistakes."

"Uh. Why are all the teachers here?" Jiro asked.

"I expect many of you have gathered information and believe you have some idea of what you'll be faced with today."

"We're fighting those big ol' metal robots!" Kaminari said.

"Fireworks! S'mores! Here we come, camp!" Mina said, getting happy. Suddenly, dad's scarf was talking.

"Actually, this year's tests...will be completely different, for various reasons." It was principal Nezu! He was in dad's scarf this whole time?

"You're changing things?" Yao-momo asked.

"The tests now have a new focus." He said, using dad's scarf to climb down dad. I tried to hold back my laugh so hard.

"There will be Hero work, of course. But also teamwork and combat between actual people. So what does that mean for you? You students will be working together in pairs and your opponents will be one of our esteemed U.A. teachers! Isn't that fabulous?!"

We have to fight our teachers?! This is going to be so fucking hard.

"We're....fighting the teachers?" O asked.

"Additionally, your partners and your opponents have already been chosen. They were determined at my discretion based on various factors, including fighting style, grades and interpersonal relationships."

Does that mean I'm fighting dad? I don't think so.

"First, Yaoyorozu and Todoroki are a team. Against me." I was right.

"Then we have Midoriya paired with Bakugo. And their opponent is..." Then All Might dropped from the sky.

"I am here to fight!"

"We're up against All Might?!" They both said at the same time.

"You're going to have to work together, boys, if you want to win."

"And now, let's announce the teams and the teachers they'll be fighting in order!"

1st: Sato and Kirishima - Cementoss
2nd: Tokoyami and Asui - Ectoplasm
3rd: Iida and Ojiro - Power Loader
4th: Todoroki and Yaoyorozu - Aizawa
5th: Ochaco and Aoyama - Thirteen
6th: Mina and Kaminari - Principal Nezu
7th: Jiro and Koda - Present Mic
8th: Mai and Shoji - Snipe
9th: Sero and Mineta- Midnight
10th: Izuku and Bakugo - All Might

"To complete the exam, you'll have 30 minutes. In order to win, your objective is to put these handcuffs on your teacher. Or you can win if one of you manages to escape from the combat stage."
