BNHA: Lessons Learned

Chapter 12

After more travelling, it then became apparent that there was more to this lesson than previously thought.
Every so often, those small yellow spheres were popping up along their path and were found in varying situations.
Some were similarly being fought over, but with varying teams and varying states of 'distress'.
Some were merely hidden in clever, hard to reach places.
A few might even have needed building or repairing, with tools lying around in the nearby vicinity.
However they were arranged, they were actually golden eggs waiting to be picked up- or not, as the case often was.
Each team was being graded on many things, not just how fast they returned to the main school grounds. One of them was how many such 'eggs' they'd picked up. Potential points also existed for things like assessing a situation in which they found such an item. How they retrieved it. Whether they decided to keep it, or throw it away. Whatever the teams chose to do and whatever they said about it, all was being recorded and graded by Sasha and Toshi in the Control Room.
Quite a few of those 'eggs' doubled as extra cameras, too.

   "I knew I should have come in earlier." Midnight complained as she turned away from the screens in the Control Room with a slightly green-looking face.
   "...you get motion sickness?" Sasha asked.
   "I dunno, I'm fine with planes and stuff like that. But seein' that camera spin so violently just now...yergh."
   "Keep breathing, okay? In through the nose, and out through the mouth. And don't close your eyes."
Midnight had come in to see how the grading was going- as well as to try and catch her two friends up to something- and had gotten more than she bargained for when she'd watched one of the on-board cameras hidden in a sphere.
It had been one of Todoroki's, knocked out of a high tree with the aid of a well-thrown stone, and...well.
   "What did you come for, anyway?" Toshi then asked.
   "Just heard about your little idea for this from Sleepy, thought I'd see how it was goin'. Looks great so far, apart from the spinning cameras of death."
   "It's working well." Sasha smiled.
   "Any zeroes so far? I know it's a little early yet."
   "Haha." Toshi laughed. "Guess who?"

Of course, Katsuki was one of the students who hadn't got a single point so far, one hour into the lesson. He'd literally focused on getting back to the school first, so he'd run, jumped and exploded his way through everything in his path that he thought could slow him down.
   "He'll get one point," Sasha remarked, "and that'll be if he clocks the fastest return time...but that's only worth one out of twenty. Mineta's also currently on zero cos' he's hiding from everything that isn't a plant and doesn't have boobs."
   "...I never thought of that." Toshi mused. "Y'know, for our next blind lesson we could do individual ones and throw in a few personal touches."
   "You'd give Mineta boobs?"
   "Not actual ones, more like...laser-firing robots of unspeakable death and destruction...and boobs. Haha, god only knows how his face would look then."
She laughed at that. "You're terrible. He'd spot it a million miles away though, surely."
   "He might, but he still won't be able to resist."
   "He did seem in something close to physical pain when he had to ignore mine in his end of year exam." Midnight smiled. "It would be the ultimate test for him."

Roughly ten minutes after that, it was the turn of Aizawa.
   "Who's leading so far?" He asked.
   "Right now, it's split between Team Todoroki and Team Midoriya." Sasha supplied. "Team Kiri is a close second, and Team Momo holds a very honourable fourth place."
   "Hmm." He nodded. "I expected as much."
   "And you'll also be expecting that Bakugo and Mineta are still in last place." Toshi grinned.
   "Yes, you're quite right. I must say that this sort of blind testing is working rather well, although it's a lot of work to set up and then watch over."
   "We're taking regular breaks."
   "So I heard." Aizawa gave a small smile. "One of you could keep an eye on the screens at the same time, though."
   "We are not that bad." Toshi insisted. "She could be making it up, y'know, she was almost sick in here earlier."
   "She's no more delirious than usual. Nice try."
