" students vs teachers "

IT WAS THE DAY THE EXAM STARTED. Shousuke was easily able to breeze past for the English exam. He had took small glances at Mina and Kaminari and saw that the two weren't struggling as much as they were in the practice exams.

Currently the student of class 1A were all gathered around in the central plaza in their hero costume with the staff of UA standing before them. "know then let's begin the last test. Remember it is possible to fail this final if you want to go to cam don't make any stupid mistakes."

"Uh, why are all the teachers here?" Jiro asked.

"I expect many of you have gathered information and believe you have some idea what you'll be a facing here today." Aizawa answered.

"WE'RE FIGHTING THOSE BIG OLD METAL ROBOTS!!!" Kaminari exclaimed beging his back. "Fireworks! Smores! Here we come!" Mina chimed in.

"Actually this years test-" Suddenly Princibly Nezu popped out of Aizawa scarff. "Will be completely different for various reasons!"

Shousuke looked over to Mina and Kaminari and noticed that all the colour they had had drained off them completely. 

"Principle Nezu!" Jiro, Sero, and Ojiro called out.

"You're changing things? Yaoyorozu asked as he sweat rolled down her cheek.

Nezu nodded and started climbing down Aizawa scarff. "The test now have a new focused, there will be here work of course, but also team works and combat between actually people. So what does that mean for you? You student will be working together in pair but on single! And one of your opponents will be one of our esteem UA Teachers! isn't that fabulous?"

They all froze. "We're... fighting the teachers?" Uraraka asked. 

Shousuke grew worried when he saw the a dark aura surround the teachers which scared some students. 'You have got to be kidding me...'

Shoto slid closed to Shousuke and tugged on his cloths. "Did you're Uncle tell you about this?" Shoto whispered. Shousuke sighed and shook his head.

"Additionally your partners and opponents have already been chosen. They were determined by detrition based on various factor including fighting style grades and interpersonal relationships." Aizawa explained before turning to Yaoyorozu.

"First Yaoyorozu, you're going against me." Yaoyorozu eyes widen in fear once she realised that she was alone.

"Then we have Midoriya, paired with Bakugo, and their opponent is-" The two stared a each other in shock before looking up to see All Might come crashing down in front of them.

"I am here." All might claimed. "To fight!"

"We're up against All Might?!?!" The questioned in disbelief knowing that it was impossible for student like them to defeat the number one hero.

Clap, clap, clap

All Might turned his attention to Shousuke who was silently clapping for him and blessed. "Thank you young Shousuke, I worked on the intro since this morning!" He admitted before turning back to Midoriya and Bakugo.

"You'll have to work together, if you want to win." All Might smirk.

The US staff were all gathered up in a meet to discuses about the students final. "With the connection between Hero killer: Stain and The League of Villains. It's possible criminals everywhere will become much bolder." Prinsible Nezu explained.

"It be best if we start preparing for that before it happened." Snips spoke up. "As a school we should be taking every profusion. If fights between villains are going to continue to intenife in the future then having the kids train against robots ain't practical. Originally we used them to avoid complained about people getting injured in the entrance exams but their not challenging enough."

Aizawa crossed his arms. "We can ignore the complains. Let people say whatever they want."

"This sound like it could be problemist." Midnight claimed. 

 "I understand why you want to change the exams,. But having students fight us, even if their in teams of two is that even a good idea?" Cementoss questioned and Thirteen nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I think it's a bit unfair."

"If we went to easily we won't be able to give them actual grade, yo." Present Mic confidently said and leaned back into his chair.

"Of course we could take that into consideration and gave the students and actually advantage." Snip suggested.

Aizawa then turned to Nezu who was beside him. "Princable what are you thinking?"

"I believe I agree. We need to change the practical exams to reflect the current time. How di we ensure the student aren't out in lift threating situations? that answer is simple: we must push them. We make sure that they are as strong as possible."

"That makes sense."

"I agree."

"Right then let tale about the team." Aizawa picked up the stack of paper in front of him and looked through it until he found the students he wanted to discuss first. "First Yaoyorozu, she's an all rounder but lack the ability to make struamnet decisions and apply them, there for i'll erase her quirk and take advantage of her weaknesses

"Sound good!" The others agreed.

"Next for Midoriya and Bakugo. I'm leaving them to you All Might. In this case I didn't pair to the two of them up based on ability or classwork. I went with relationship. Please ensure that they learn something."

All might nodded.

"Now that bring use to Todoroki and Komi." He took out his two students files. "Todoroki's doing quite well generally speaking, but relised to much on ground force, and Komi she had well balance his quirks and physical attributes, but like Todoroki he relase to much on his quirk and offen thinking of finishing the job instead of the after mates that effect his body." 

""So what do the two have in common?" Midnight asked.

"They both crumble under pressure. So that why their opponent is someone that will given them one hell of a workload."

━━━━━━━━━━

"Todoroki and Komi." Aizawa called out making the side boy turn to him. "You're opponent is Kenzaki Haganezuka."

SHousuke rolled his eyes once he heard Haganezuka. Aloth the man he helped with his spy work that mission he had to go on and fighting mutated monsters very well traumatized him.

"Zero!" Haganezuka called out as he walked from behind Thirteen, He then placed his hand on Shousuke shoulder and gave it a little squeeze. "How's your training going?" He asked.

'Good, not thanks to you-'

Shousuke thoughts were interrupted by Nezu who was now announcing the teams and the teachers that they were going to be fighting in order.

"To complete the Exam you will have 30 Minute. The objective is to put these handcuff on your teacher or you can win if one of you managed to escape from the combate stage." Principle Nezu explained.

"So we either got to capture the teacher or run away? It's basically like that combat training." Kaminari though. "Yeah, but is it releasy okay if we just yet?" Mina asked.

"Yup!"

"It's gonna be much different from that combat training y'all went through earlier. After all, you're up against people that are way better then you." Present Mic bluffed.

"Better really? Wait aren't you just the announcer?" Jiro blankly asked

"HEY! WATCH YOUR MOUTH GIRL! HAVE SOME RESPECT!"

"This time your Exam will be very similar to a real battle. As strange as it it, please think of us as Villains." Thirteen advice. "As soon as you come across you enemy, if you think you can win against them then fight... However," Sniped claimed.

"In instances where you are outmatched, it would be smarter to run away and find help." Aizawa add. Shousuke looked over at Shoto, Midoriya and Iida knowing that it applied to them "Todoroki, Iide, Midoriya, I'm sure the three of you understand."

A sweat rolled down Shoto's cheek as he reencountered the events that happened with the Hero Killer. "I won't make that mistake again, I will pass this test and prove that i'm a hero." Iida said as he clenched his fist.

Midoriya gulped. "So we fight to win, or run to win?" 

"That right it's a test of you're decision-making skills! But with theses rules you'll probably have you only real choice is to flee. That's why the support course made these super clever accessories  for us!" All Might exclaimed and pulled the devic out from his back.

"Be hold! Ultra compressed weights!" Present Mic announced

One by one the teachers started placing the weight onthem selves. All Might explained that the accessories will had half their body weight to their physic, it wasn't must but it will each up their stamina and make it harder for them to move around. "Oh crap! These are heaver then I though!"

"We had a contest coming up with these designs and young Hatsumi ended up winning!" All might added.

Bakugo brows frowned. "You think we need a handicaps to win against you? Well think again.

"Hahaha!" All might laughed before getting serious. "This will be fun."

"Let's begin, the teams will take that practical exam in the order they been called. We have a stage prepared for you. Sato, Kirishima your up." Aizawa stated.

"Yes sir!"

The teachers then started walking back to build being them. "Those waiting their turn to fight can Either watch the Exams or try to strategize together as a team. It's your choice, that's all." Aizawa said and followed the others.

Iida turned to his partner. "Ojiro, I'd like to discus how we'll be able to coordinate that use of our quirks." Orjiro nodded. "Grate."

"Tokoyami, let go come up with a plan." Tsuyu suggested.

"Agreed."

"We've got to figure out a way to destroy Midnights costume!" Minate said as he pumped his fist in the air.

"You are such a little sum bag." Sero muttered.

Seeing that there was nothing to do Shousuke started walking to the monitor room to watch Sota and Kirishima match.

"Shousuke." Shoto called out making Shouske stop walking. "Do you have any idea what Haganezuka quirk could be?" Shousuke froze before shaking his head.

"During my internship with him, I never once saw him use his quirk..." Shousuke answered.

"Well if you don't know, we could play it safe and used gentle fist to take him down." Shoto suggested as Shousuke nodded in agreement."

"If we can even get close to him..." Shousuke muttered under his breath but it was loud enough for Shoto to hear leaving the Heterometric boy confuse on what he meant.
