Ryo Namikaze stood at the front of the classroom, surrounded by his classmates, their faces expectant and curious as they waited for All Might to speak. The towering hero, his grin as bright as ever, addressed them with his usual booming voice.

"Now then, young heroes," All Might began, his voice filled with infectious enthusiasm, "who do you think was the MVP of our last exercise?"

Momo Yaoyorozu immediately raised her hand, her expression calm and confident. All Might nodded towards her, encouraging her to share her thoughts.

"I believe Ryo Namikaze was the MVP," Momo stated, her voice clear and composed. "His quick thinking and strategic planning were crucial to their team's victory. He anticipated Todoroki's ice attack and set traps accordingly, using his teleportation to disrupt the heroes' formation while guiding Mina to use her Acid Quirk effectively. His ability to analyze and adapt was outstanding."

All Might listened with a thoughtful nod, clearly impressed by her detailed analysis. "Excellent reasoning, Momo," he said with approval. "It's clear that Ryo's ability to think on his feet and adapt to unexpected situations was key in turning the tide of battle."

A ripple of murmurs spread through the class, students nodding in agreement. Ryo, sitting beside Mina, felt a surge of pride but maintained his humble demeanor. "Thanks, Momo," he murmured softly, "I just tried to do my best."

Mina leaned in, nudging him playfully. "Don't be so modest, Ryo! You were awesome out there!" she teased, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of admiration and amusement. Ryo blushed slightly at the attention, still adjusting to the idea of being in the spotlight.

The next set of mock battles commenced, each team showcasing their unique strengths and strategies. The students watched intently, analyzing every move, learning from their peers. The atmosphere was charged with a mix of tension, excitement, and friendly competition.

Kirishima and Sero, now "villains," faced off against Tokoyami and Tsuyu. Tokoyami's Dark Shadow stretched into the darkness, scouting the building with its inky black form, while Tsuyu moved silently, sticking to the walls and ceilings. The two worked in harmony, complementing each other's abilities.

"Dark Shadow, stay alert," Tokoyami commanded, his voice calm. "We need to locate the weapon quickly."

Dark Shadow growled in response, sensing movement nearby. "Yes, Tokoyami... I sense them."

Despite Kirishima's and Sero's best efforts, Tokoyami and Tsuyu managed to capture the weapon through careful planning and coordination. The heroes won the round, and the class buzzed with excitement.

The next match featured Momo, Mineta, and Aoyama as villains against Denki and Kyoka. Momo quickly took command, using her Creation Quirk to produce barriers and tools. Denki and Kyoka, however, displayed remarkable synergy. Kyoka used her Earphone Jack Quirk to detect vibrations and guide Denki, who unleashed high-voltage attacks to force the villains into the open. The heroes secured another victory, drawing cheers and applause from their classmates.

As the battles continued, the students demonstrated their growing skills and teamwork. All Might watched, his expression filled with pride and admiration. "Great job, everyone!" he called out once the matches were done. "Remember, the mark of a true hero isn't just strength—it's adaptability, strategy, and the ability to work with your teammates!"

Tsuyu raised her hand, a playful glint in her eyes. "It's nice to hear that, All Might, because Mr. Aizawa is kind of a buzzkill most of the time," she remarked, drawing laughter from the class.

All Might laughed heartily. "Well, I'm happy to bring some positivity! But now, I need to check on young Midoriya's injuries... and show you all how a pro hero exits!"
