"So, you two hot-heads want a second chance... Very well. I'll allow you to do the exercise." Uraraka's face glowed with joy and relief while Bakugo only grunted, impaciently. But Shouta had more to say. "However, after that lame display of immaturity, I think it is fair to say that this school doesn't need any more uncooperativeness. That being said, you two get one chance to impress me and win this duel... or you're both expelled from UA."

All the glow and excitment was vanished from Ochako's face. Although Katsuki was confident he'd win any shit the teachers throwed at him, he wasn't sure of how well he could actually perform with Uravity...

But taking suplementary classes over one lame performance was surely too much. For both of them. They could totally do it!

"We agree."

"Fine. I'll have you try as Heros on this duel." the teacher smiles evily, looking for the first pair of winners that were quietly resting at the side of the Training Field.

"Momo. Todoroki. You'll be the Villains."

Several minutes passed by and both duelists were streching. The last ones to finish the exercise were Kaminari and Aoyama as Villains vs Jirou and Tsuyu as Heros, with a unexpected victory coming from the first pair. It was only after every student was done and gathered, watching everything so expectantly, that Aizawa allowed the last match to start.

Once the field was free to use, both pairings had 3 minutes to come up with some sort of strategy. Despite being all excited at first, now that they were here, against freakying Todoroki and Momo of all combinations, Uraraka's resolution quicly started to fade.

Bakugou's overall attitude wasn't helping either.

"What's the big plan, Floaty? This better be worth the risk of being expelled."

"Well.." she cleared her throat "It isn't reaallly a plan, per see..."

His frown went from blank annoyed to deeply irritated.

"What...?" he asked, really slowly.

"It's more like a Special Move that we can use..." the girl kept glancing at the opponents, clearly wondering how to fit her ingenious ideia against them.

"Fucking great..."

How the hell he got himself into this shit...?

Tension's density increased with veils of smoke and static still hovering the air from the last battle. Time for planning was almost over and despite not letting it show, there was a weird and sadistic excitement playing inside Aizawa's mind.

"Tch. These kids have one chill talk and already think they're good to go and team up." That grim smile showed up once more over the teachers face. "This might turn out interesting afterall."

It takes way more than that to make a pairing actually function together. Temper, mindsets and even mere personal habits... All of these plays it's roles during a combat and making it work on a battle scene it's never easy.

That's one big challenge for any Pro, whether it comes as a sidekick or heroes from rival agencies.

As an "Last resort" type of exercise, where the Heroes could not flee nor let the Villains escape either, there was just one single rule, one that Todoroki and Momo had managed to accomplish beforehand:

To overpower the opponent. Either by capturing or knocking them out.

Knowing that... If there was one pattern Uraraka had noticed through out the classes she should use to their own advantage...
