Chapter 2 - The Hero, The Villain, and the Bystander

Um is it Bakugou or Bakugo...

"Alright everyone shut your mouthes.." Aizawa finally got out of his sleeping bag. "New year new lessons." Everyone finally sat down in their seats and waited patiently for Aizawa to speak. "Can someone raise their hand and tell me the two main reasons you're in this classroom right now?"

"To be recognized!"

"To make money!"

"To become popular!"

"To touch girls' boobs!"

Bakugou slams his hand on his desk, startling everyone. "To kick the shit outta bad guys!!" He ignites a couple sparks in his hands.

The room grew silent, Aizawa deadpanned. "I said raise your hand." He sighed. "Whatever, none of those are correct. Bakugou, you were close." He held up the two fingers as he counted them. "It's stopping crime. . . and saving lives."

"That's basically what I just said!!" Bakugou yelled, his teeth showing and his eyes so angry his pupils weren't there.

Ignoring him, Aizawa continued. "I know you all have your reasons to become a hero, but during a fight with a villain, you have to learn to balance the two out."

"How the heck do we do that?" Kaminari asks. "Balancing them out I mean..."

Aizawa glares at him. "Let me finish and I'd be happy to tell you."

Kaminari shudders. "Sorry, Sir." Why the hell did we stick with our old class?

"We'll talk more outside, everyone get their gym uniforms on."

Principal Nezu poured two cups of tea at his desk, one for him and one for his guest. "Been some time, hasn't it?"

"Yep," ??? answered, smiling. "Just couldn't stay away from this place."

"What brings you here?" He offered the second cup of tea, and ??? happily accepted it. "I don't believe there are any classes for the graduated."

"Maybe," ??? took a sip of their tea. "But I overheard from the facility that the students are getting a bit out of hand. And they're getting understaffed."

"I see," Nezu brought his eyes to his cup of tea, "So you want to teach a class then?"

"You could say that." ??? tilted their head to the side. "I mean I count as a hero right?"

"Barely," Nezu took a sip. "I've never seen you on TV once."

"I don't have to be on TV to be a hero, Principal." ??? stated in a low voice. "I have a license, I have skill. I'm perfect for teaching!"

"I suppose you're right." He places the cup on his lap. "Very well then I'll be sure to open a classroom for you, sometime next-."

"Actually," ??? swirls the liquid in their cup. "Class 2A has caught my interest."

"I'm sorry, but that class already has a teacher." Nezu dips his cup into his mouth.

"Not a student teacher," ??? states in a 'matter of fact' tone.

Nezu chuckled, "Student teacher?" Nezu finished his cup and sets it down. "Is there a difference?"

"Actual teachers are assigned work to give to the students. A student teacher on the other hand, provides fun little projects for the class to do because they know what the students want since they're closer in age." ??? states. "Does that make sense?"

Nezu chuckles. "Are you sure, out of all of them, you want to be in that class? It's a pretty rowdy bunch."

"And I was a pretty rowdy student, remember?" ??? tilted their head.
