It was almost time for the first practical hero training for Surebu since she came back. Aizawa sat in the teachers' shared office thinking over the lesson. He didn't know what to do. Really, anything he decided would either insult Surebu or piss off Bakugo. There was no winning in this situation. He rubbed his head in frustration. He'd been stuck on this for so long and still had no idea. Suddenly someone sat in the seat next to him. Present Mic? Maybe.

The person grabbed his hand and it was at that moment Aizawa realised it wasn't Mic. He jolted looking to the seat only to see Surebu with a concerned look. She looked at him and sighed. "If you can't make everyone happy than make them all miserable," She stated moving her hand to a mop. That's right, she cleans and runs errands instead of classes now. That made Aizawa feel a bit guilty in all honesty. She might as well be the schools janitor.

"What do you mean?" Aizawa asked looking away. He didn't need any distractions right now, but it was Surebu and he didn't mind her company in the slightest. He actually missed it.

"The training today," she stated. At this she had Aizawa's undivided attention. "Me and Bakugo. If you can't make us both happy than make us both upset," Aizawa's face dropped at the thought. He didn't want to do that, let alone he didn't know how. "Or," once again Aizawa was frozen waiting for her to continue. "If you really want to make us both happy I might have an idea for you," as she explained Aizawa grew fonder of the idea. It was the work of a genius. He did have a few concerns though, but his faith in her ability over weighed any concern, and soon enough it was time.

Aizawa and Surebu caught up with Toshinori before the class to explain the plan. It was a bad idea in his mind, but not even All Might could stop things once these two started up. Add Shinsou and it's a disaster waiting to happen. Soon enough the three walked into the monitoring room where Present Mic and Nezu were preparing the class for their hero training. They all wanted to be there for the girl on her first lesson back.

Needless to say that once the class saw Surebu, the mood in the room had drastically changed. They had all seen what she could do as a hero and villain, so whatever was planned, it was going to be a pain for all of them. Aizawa moved to the front of the room with a small smile on his face. He was pleased with this idea. Surebu moved over to a bench and sat down. All Might in his hero form on the other hand was trying to convince Nezu to stop Aizawa before he began.

Too late.

"Today we'll be trying something a bit different," everyone stopped to listen to Aizawa, but not a single person in the room missed the way Surebu smiled. "You will play a game of hide and seek," a few groans were made present, but then there was a laugh. A chuckle from the gates of hell. Everyone turned to look at Surebu who had that psychotic look they all remembered from that time they saw her as a villain.

"Good times," she whispered thinking of that time she broke into Kirishima's room. She looked over to Aizawa who nodded seeing her excitement, but no one else thought that this game was a safe idea with her sudden reaction. Nezu began to ask All Might exactly what this game was, because he knew that there was something that Aizawa hadn't said yet, but All Might didn't answer in time.

"When a villain has escaped the scene of the crime, the hero needs to chase them. Sometimes the villain has a head start and is hard to catch. In this case the villain has hidden a hostage in the city and you must find the villain, get the location of this hostage and save them," Everyone was exited for this. It seemed like a fun idea. "Bonus points will be given out to the one who gets a secret object from this villain," suddenly the game seemed to get harder. "And the one who catches the villain gets a prize," he quickly added on.

"So we split them into groups to face off with the villain? Good idea," Present Mic nodded approvingly using his loud radio announcer voice, but the look he saw Surebu make told him he was wrong.

"Actually they will all be going after the villain, all at once," this caused quite a few strange looks. No one thought that this would be a challenge. All of them going after this 'villain' at once. "First person to catch the villain will pass todays test. Than you will each have turns interrogating them if you manage to catch them. Winner gets first chance. Whoever gets the hostage wins all together, and as stated, bonus points will be given out to those the villain sees fit," as the rules made things more complicated Momo threw her hand up, curious as to how this was fair.

"Who's the villain?" she asked before told she could speak. Aizawa looked at her. He stared blankly before turning away.

"Do you all understand the game?" he asked. Everyone yelled that they understood, noting how Aizawa avoided answering Momo's question. "For now your objective is to get the villain, nothing else. If you try to defeat the villain completely than you can't interrogate and will fail," once again everyone said they understood. "Good. Villain, have you set up before hand?" everyone stared at Aizawa curious as to who he was talking to. He nodded before anyone could realise that the villain had answered. "You have a small head start. You hold up your end of the deal. No severe injuries," once again the villain had answered before anyone knew it. "Then go hide," Aizawa ordered turning to the screen behind him.

Suddenly Surebu jumped off the bench she was perched on and walked past the class one by one with a smile on her face. "The fuck are you doing?" Bakugo growled as she passed him.

"Hiding," she stated grinning at Bakugo. "I look forward to the hunt," was all she said before turning to walk into the field. Now everyone knew, Surebu was the villain they'd have to catch and interrogate. Didn't seem like that big of a struggle to some, but to those who had taken the time to figure out anything about her, this wasn't going to be so easy.

"Aizawa-sensei?" Aizawa turned hearing this voice. "Why did you pick Surebu? Isn't that a bit risky?" It was Iida's question, and Aizawa felt fine with answering this one.

"She's had experience with villains as you all know. She knows how a villain acts, thinks and behaves better than anyone else," no one could disagree with the statement. It was true, she was once a villain. "Not to mention the fact that she is a good fighter, hider, hunter and a strategic thinker." This was new information to the class. "Her skill is hers alone, no quirk, and yet," Aizawa paused to look at his hand, the one she bit so long ago. It had scarred a bit, but not much. He always thought of it as a reminder of what she could do and how they met. "I can't beat her one on one."

"Wait! What?!" Present Mic ran up to Aizawa with shock all over his features. "You did beat her though. Remember?"

"No. Not in a fair fight. I had cheated and she was captured. If I didn't do what I did when I did, she would've won. Also, I have a sneeking suspicion that she was going easy," Aizawa looked over to the students. "She is a lot more than what you see. There are scars you haven't yet seen and story's she may never tell you. It's what made her who she is," suddenly the mood had changed again. Aizawa stared at Bakugo with a serious face. "As Surebu had once told me, 'some villains are only following orders, while others turn into villains for the ones they love, some are villains because it's their job and some villains are just looking for acceptance, but the villain to fear the most. It's the villain that you helped create'," Bakugo's eyes grew wide as his teeth clenched. Aizawa was blaming him for Surebu turning into a villain to some degree and Bakugo just knew it.

"Why is that important?" Kaminari asked suddenly. Everyone looked to him, then to Aizawa.

"She doesn't go to classes with you for a reason. Can anyone guess what that reason is?" Aizawa's answer only made more questions. They didn't know if there was a true meaning behind Aizawa's words or not, but he sounded extremely disappointed. It was in his voice and the facial expression he had at that point. Aizawa turned back to the screen. "Go catch your villain," he ordered and the game had started with many confused teenagers to catch someone none of them truly understood the limitations of.
