The day of the practical exam finally arrived. All of class 1-A was suited up ready for whatever battle we would encounter. Not only that, it seemed like most of the UA teachers were here as well. Even principal Nezu was here.
Nezu shocked most of my classmates by stating there was a revision done according to the exam. "From now on, we'll focus in battles against flesh-and-blood opponents. It is critical that our teaching stimulates practical experience as closely as possible! As such you students will be... pairing up... and fighting of the teachers you see here!" he proclaimed.
It takes a lot for me to become uneasy, I hardly show emotion but... seriously fighting a teacher and paired up??! I don't usually work with others.. my quirks are too destructive for that...
"First off..." Aizawa began to say, "Todoroki is with Yaoyorozu... against me."
"Next, Midoriya is with Bakugou, joining them is [L/name] and your opponent..."
"...Will be... Me!" an all familiar voice said.
Yup that's it, I'm doomed. Hah, as if. But seriously this sounds painful.
"You'll have to work together to win... so come at me you three!!" All Might confidently said.
I sighed, Katsuki and Izuku were clearly unhappy being paired up. I felt like the third wheel on a date; sandwiched between their rivalry. Exactly how did the teachers decided to pair us up???!
Shoto who stood beside me noticed my distressing vibes. I had a dark aura surround me as I hung my head down thinking how on earth this happened...
"I feel sandwiched between their rivalry..." I told Shoto who had asked why I looked dismayed.
"It can't be that bad [Name]." he said in hope of cheering me up.
"I guess... but to make matters worse I have to fight against my idol!"
"I didn't know you were an All Might fan."
I shyly nodded, "Both Hiro and I am... I mean, I don't usually show my interest in others heroes... but I would have to say All Might and Aizawa are my favorite."
"Ah, I see." He answered with a nod. "Speaking of Hiro, where is he?"
"He's with Recovery Girl, she insisted she could watch him for me, she's so kind."
"Yeah." Shoto lifted my chin up with his hand, his mismatched orbs looking at me, "Don't worry [Nickname] you'll pass the exam, I know. As for Bakugou and Midoriya I'm sure they'll work something out."
"Well as long as Katsuki doesn't bully Izuku..." I mumbled nervously.
"With you there, I doubt as much."
"What do you mean?"
He turned away with a sour expression, "He... seems to listen to you, more than anyone else in our class."
"Oh... Hm, maybe he's scared I'll smack him again."
Shoto smiled at me, "Well don't hesitate to if you need to." he let go of my chin and said, "I'll see you later."
"Alright Shoto." I smiled back.
I felt a little calmer talking to him about it but...now here was the difficult part –the actual talking with them. I'm not this peace making person... how do I deal with childhood friends who one of them is willing to work together, while the other isn't? I sighed deeply.
"Hey Katsuki!" I called out to him. Trying to sound nonchalant.
He grunted, "What is it Gauche?"
