Turning the Tables [Shoto Todoroki X Reader]

Chapter 47: They won't win

This is going to be stressful.

But more stress is coming soon.

We had just finished our written exams yesterday, and today we stood across from the teachers in our hero suits for the practical component.

We're just fighting robots. Relax.

"Now, we will begin the practical exam. Of course, it is possible to fail this exam. If you want to go to the training camp, then don't make any stupid mistakes."

"There are a lot of teachers..." Jiro observed.

"I expect that you all have gathered information ahead of time, and have some idea of what you will be doing."

"We're fighting robot warriors like at the entrance exam, right?" Yelled Kaminari.

"Fireworks! Curry! Test of Courage!" Aside cheered.

"Too bad!" President Mic called.

What?

"For various reasons, the exam will be different starting this time!" Principal Nezu popped out from Mr. Aizawa's special capture weapon.

"Principal Nezu!"

"Different?"

"From now on, we want to focus on person-to-person combat and hero work," he dropped to the ground, "and stress teaching that is closer to actual fighting. So... we'll have you form teams of two to fight against one teacher!"

There was a chorused gasp.

"Against... the teachers?"

"In addition, the pairs and who each pair will be up against have already been decided. These were determined at my discretion based on various factors, including fighting style, grades, and interpersonal relationships, so here they are:

"First, Todoroki and (L/N) are one team, and they're fighting me."

Mr. Aizawa?

"And Midoriya and Bakugo are a team, and their opponent..."

All Might landed in front of us. "I... will do it!"

"All Might?!"

"Work together to beat me, you two!"

They traded looks.

It was odd that they didn't have three people fighting against All Might, but it also made a certain degree of sense.

"The time limit for the exam is thirty minutes! Your objective is either to put these handcuffs on the teacher, or to have one of you escape from the stage!"
