"My mother raised me better than to treat elders with disrespect, but the way you acted.... you're no number one hero," you spat out. "With power as immense as that, any idiot knows he's supposed to hold back, do you lack a brain?!"

"L/N-chan...!" Midoriya croaked out. 

"You shut up, I'll lecture you for your stupidity next," you snapped. 

"I won't stop the kid, All Might, she's right," Recovery Girl sighed, kissing your classmates' injuries away. "Are you even capable of holding back? If you'd hit them any harder, there'd be no possible way for them to recover. Especially for Midoriya's lower back."

"You've certainly got some spunk," All Might mumbled. "Though knowing your parents, I don't know what else I should've expected."

"What would you have done if Midoriya-kun's injuries were irreversible?" You glared. "You'd really risk your successor over a stupid exam?"

All Might's breath hitched as he turned to see your glaring figure, eyes wide. It was evident that Midoriya hadn't told him that you'd found out, hence the surprise in his eyes. 

"How long have you known...?" All Might began. 

"Since the second week of school," you scoffed. "How can you even call yourself the greatest hero, when you don't even have the smarts to hold back when needed? Just because villains go as far as murder, would you have done so too? All in the name of a test?"

The hero in front of you stayed silent, Bakugou's limp figure in his arms. 

"You could've easily punctured a lung with the broken ribs," you reminded. "What would you have done then, All Might?"

"I'll put you three in beds at the school," Recovery Girl sighed, recognising that your questioning would yield no answers. "Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are resting there too."

Midoriya then asked to stay, to watch the rest of the matches, while All Might carried Bakugou back to the school. You followed the duo, limping with the crutches you'd been given. 

"I'm sorry, if I seem unable to answer your questions," All Might sighed on the bus ride back. 

"Frankly, I don't care," you shrugged. "If nothing else, it was clear from the beginning that you were incompetent as a teacher. It's why Midoriya learnt to control his quirk from someone else. But incompetent as a teacher is one thing, lacking basic common sense is another."

"You certainly are something," All Might mused. "I must admit, you're right, I should've held back. But for the future, such blatant disrespect will not be taken well with most other teachers."

"Please, even Aizawa let it slide," you scoffed. "And that man's far scarier than anyone I know."

The rest of the bus ride was silent, with you outright ignoring your teacher when you got off at the school. You limped over to the school's nurse's office, slamming the door open. 

"You look angry," Todoroki commented. 

"Congrats on having eyes."

"Teaming up with Bakugou has clearly had a detrimental effect on you."

You sat down on a bed, pinching the bridge of your nose. The only other person in the room was Bakugou, likely since Yaoyorozu didn't have any injuries. Thanks to the silence, and Todoroki giving you space, it didn't take long for you to calm back down. 

"We had a messy exam," you sighed, fidgeting with your necklace. "Bakugou and Midoriya got multiple bones broken."

"I see," he hummed. "But you still made it out at an impressive timing, considering you fought against the number one hero."
