"Well, what are you waiting for? I told you to stand up." Their new teacher damanded as no one responded. Izuku felt Denki next to him sigh and stand up, dragging both Mineta and Sero with him. A few seconds latter Ashido joined them.

"What in earth gave you the idea that it would be a brilliant descion to interrupt what was basically a debriefing?" Their teacher damanded, clearly on the verge of yelling.

"I'm sorry sir. We didn't think." Denki replied, his eyes on his feet.

"Well it's quite obvious you didn't think. You never interrupt a debriefing as you can and will miss Intel that could save both your's and another's life."

"It won't happen again sir." Ashido said.

"You're right it won't happen again because you will be handing your student card over and packing your shit."

Everyone looked at the white haired man with disbelief. They had all assumed he was joking about expelling students as no other teacher had actually made on the threat all year.

'This guy is serious, he's even more scary then Mr. Aizawa.' Izuku thought. Even though Mr. Aizawa could be mean and down right cruel sometimes he still have people chances. This was uncalled for and unfair. They were kids, they should have the right to make mistakes.

Before he could even fully think out what he was doing, Izuku stood up and looked his teacher dead in the eye. "Why do they deserve to be expelled? All they did was behave how someone their age is meant to behave. Our previous teacher -Mr. Aizawa- sure he may have been an arsehole sometimes but at least he was understanding. Where as you appear to be a top level jackass who cast his humanity aside."

Half of Izuku's class looked at him like he was a completely different person, which was warranted. The other half looked at him like he was already dead and they were deciding what to wear to his funeral.

"This is a hero school. You are meant to learn how to be a hero." Their teacher responded coldly.

Izuku was about to argue when he was interrupted by the person he wouldn't have expected to fight a teacher's word.

"It is a hero school, and yes we are learning how to be a hero." Momo began. "But mistakes -which is all that this is- they are apart of learning. Something you should know considering that you are an adult and all."

"I agree with them whole heartedly." Urakaka chimed in. "And besides as you said it yourself, half of us got attacked by villains so the least you could do is cut them some slack."

Silence was their only response. The man clad in black leather stared at the three students who stood up and argued against him. This awkward silence lasted for a couple minutes only to be broken by several slow claps from the teacher.

"Congratulations. You three passed the test." He said. "I was told by your teacher that those four would be boisterous and would most likely interrupt me, so I planned around it and made the most of it. Though there is a slight misfortune here. The four of them are on the figurative chopping block and yet only three of you stood up to their defense, unfortunately that means one of them will have to go and as the defenders it's up to you to make that decision."

Kaneki watched as the three students talked amongst themselves on who should stay. Deep down he knew that he was basically doing what Yamori did to him, however instead of it being a life or death situation he was just making them choose whose career was ruined. Who would they choose? The half brain dead Denki Kaminari? The plain and boring Hanta Sero? The constantly high Mina Ashido? Or perhaps the perverted Minoru Mineta?

"We have made our decision." The boy -Izuku Midouryia- said as the trio rejoined the group.

"Well don't keep us waiting, whose career have you just ended." Kaneki said, slightly enjoying the flinch all three of them made at his words.

'You need to learn one way or another. Every action has a butterfly effect with both a positive and negative reaction.' Kaneki thought.

"We have chosen Mineta. It's nothing personal, but you do have a tendency to make the girls uncomfortable and if your behaviour at the USJ is anything to go by you are not suited for this kind of work." Midouryia said, looking the purple haired boy in the eyes.

"The Jury have spoken. Hand your ID card over to Nezu and pack up. You're going home." Kaneki said. "As for the rest of you, follow me to Gym Alpha for your training to begin.


Kaneki sat on the bench, watching as all forty students blundered their way across his obstacle course of pain. "Todoroki, back to the start! Remember the ground is lava, don't touch it!" Kaneki called out. "You too Kirishima!"

Only four students had manged to get across the obstacle course without being sent back to the start. The first was quite surprisingly Yoazarozou, then Asui, Jirou and Iida. He could understand Asui making it across easily even with the current Quirk ban because she was a frog. Frogs could climb. But how the others manged it easily he would never know.

"I have a question for the four of you." Kaneki said, startling the teens before him.

"What is the question sir?" Iida responded.

"What do you think is wrong with this world? You don't have to answer me now but I would like to know the answer."

"In my opinion the wrongness of the world is those who see violence take place but do nothing about it." Iida replied instantly, and surprised Kaneki.

"I would say it's the villains. I mean that's why we are training to be heros isn't it?" Jirou countered.

"I would have to agree with Jirou on this." Asui said.

"Corruption." Momo whispered with a downcast look. "All of those who let money and power get to their head and choose to abandon those closest to them for momentary gains."

Kaneki smiled softly under his mask at the variety of responses, but that smile quickly turned to a frown of worry for two reasons. The first and foremost being Momo's sudden change in mood and the all to familiar sigh of emotional pain. The second being Kaminari who was staggering over to them with blood pouring out of his right eye. Or where that eye used to be.

"Sensei, my head hurts and I'm having trouble seeing from my right eye." Denki said.
