Episode: Library Noises: Iida vs Todoroki (Pt. 1)
For today's episode of UA's Impractical Jokers, the crew has decided to make it take place in UA Academy's library.
The challenge: make as much noise WITHOUT getting shushed! And the two jokers that have the honour of going first are none other than Iida Tenya and Todoroki Shouto!
The other two jokers, Midoriya Izuku and Bakugou Katsuki, are spectating the entire thing in a room separate from the library on a large screen that is recording the entire event.
Midoriya touches his chin thoughtfully as he watched Iida and Todoroki made their way to their respective tables in the library, setting their backpacks down next to them.
It was their lucky day!
The library is chalk full of students from their own class and a few from class-B as well! This is going to be awesome...
Basically, Iida and Todoroki are going to make some very distracting noises using items that were SPECIFICALLY packed for that very purpose in their backpacks.
"So, Iida packed Todoroki's bag," Midoriya reminded himself.
"And Todoroki packed Iida's bag," Bakugou finished. "Do I need to repeat the entire rules to you again, Deku?"
Midoriya shook his head and rubbed his hands together with excitement. "Nope! Let's get this thing started!"
Todoroki sat down at the end of a table with Kaminari and Kirishima sitting to his right side. Both of them were, shockingly, studying right now!
Not too far away from him, Iida sat down at a table with Tsuyu, Ashido, and Hagakure. He swallowed hard and loosened his uniform around the neck, desperately trying to keep his composure.
Todoroki did the same and opened his book, pretending to read, but he is actually waiting anxiously for instructions from Midoriya and Bakugou.
In the other room, Midoriya and Bakugou decide to choose who's going to go first between Iida and Todoroki.
"You wanna flip that coin, see who goes first?" Bakugou asked as he gave Midoriya a coin from his pocket.
"Yep, here we go," Midoriya flipped the coin and slapped it as it landed on the back of his palm. It was tails. "Oh! Iida!"
"Iida, you're going first, haha!" Bakugou laughed maniacally into the microphone.
Iida shook his head with a disappointed smile on his face. He shot Todoroki a you'd better not have put anything crazy in my backpack glance as he bent over to the side to take out the first item from his backpack.
Feeling around the bag for something 'normal,' Iida finally made up his mind and took out...an electric pencil sharpener. Iida stroked his chin as he examined the item up and down.
The two jokers burst out laughing in the other room.
"Ohhh! An electric pencil sharpener!" Midoriya covered his mouth. "Useful, but annoying."
"Especially since you're in a library!" Bakugou added.
Over at his table, Todoroki gives a little smirk in Iida's direction. It basically told Iida that he's not sorry he packed that electric pencil sharpener in his backpack.
Tapping his pencil against his chin, Iida looked around the library to examine the serious and dedicated students he's going to anger very soon. Everyone was hard at work.
Slowly but steadily, Iida puts his pencil into the hole of the electric sharpener. With every inch that the pencil moves, Todoroki's smirk grows bigger and bigger. Until finally...
Shishhshisschuchshichshischhshschisch!
Iida makes a cringy face as the sound of the sharpener intensified. He tried to control it by placing another hand on top of the machine, but it only muffled the sound, not lowering it like he hoped for.
Across the library, a few students looked up from their work to see where that annoying sound is coming from. Including Uraraka, Sero, Mineta, and a few other students.
They all pretty surprised to see it was none other than the class rep! Iida felt his face growing warm as he finally reached pulled the sharpened pencil out of the sharpener, ending the noise.
The four jokers waited for a while to hear if anyone is going to do or say something to Iida.
"Any shush!?" Midoriya looked around the library on the flat screen.
The library remained silent. Nobody stood up. Nobody said anything. Iida's pencil sharpening was forgiven.
"No shush!" Bakugou cried incredulously. "Alright then, no shush for Iida!"
It is now Todoroki's turn. He leaned over to the side of the table to reach into his backpack and take out the first item Iida had packed for him.
As soon as he saw what it was, he quickly pushed it back in with a you got to be kidding me smile on his face. That smile caused laughter to erupt from the spectating jokers.
Iida gave Todoroki the same smirk that he received during his turn as he placed his perfectly sharpened pencil on his lip. His eyebrows dancing up and down.
"Oh, it's bubble wrap!" Midoriya applauded.
"GIANT, bubble wrap, you blind fool!" Bakugou corrected as he pointed at the screen.
Todoroki cautiously took out the entire giant bubble wrap but it was already catching the attention of some nearby students. On the other side of the room, Jirou already noticed the green sheet of bubble wrap in Todoroki's hand and was nervously chewing her gum.
Forcing himself to breathe normally, Todoroki tightened his grip on the bubble, slowly twisting it diagonally. Midoriya shook Bakugou's arm, who tore it away from him, but he didn't care.
"Here he goes!" He grinned from ear to ear.
At his table, Iida watched on with amusement. He couldn't wait to see the reactions of the students after Todoroki pops the giant bubbles. Which he did, a few seconds later.
Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
Jirou covered her ears and shook her head. Some students from class-B looked up this time too but didn't look too upset about the loud popping sound.
Iida covered his mouth with both hands, trying not to let anyone see he was about to go into uncontrollable laughter. Midoriya and Bakugou didn't hold back their uncontrollable laughter though.
They all wait for any reactions. But they were only with silence once again. Wow...
"Shush free..." Bakugou was amazed.
"Shush free! No shushes!" Midoriya clapped once for the tables to turn to Iida.
"Ok, back to glasses!" Bakugou commanded.
Iida reached into his backpack and pulled out...a slide whistle. He pressed his lips into a thin line of disapproval at the sight of this instrument.
"Oh, it's a slide whistle!" Midoriya gasped.
Bakugou nodded in approval. "Now that's genius! Good job, Todoroki! Classic comedy prop!"
"Let's hope that someone slips on a banana peel! Now that's perfect timing!" Midoriya nudged Bakugou.
Placing the mouthpiece to his lips, Iida sucks in a breath and blows the whistle as he pulls the little hook down, making the classic slipping on a banana peel sound.
Whhheeee!
Thankfully, the only person who seemed to be really ticked off by that sound was...nobody! Looks like Iida is getting away shush free again!
But it didn't erase the fact that that was super embarrassing. Iida covered his tomato-red face with both of his hands. Todoroki did the same, but for completely different reasons.
Looking between his fingers, Iida checks to make sure no girls were coming up to slap him or anything. Nobody was moving an inch from their work.
"And the shush bowl gets thrown back to Todoroki!" Midoriya declared as he wiped away some tears.
Todoroki looks around to make sure no one was watching this time as he leans down towards the backpack.
"Todoroki grabs into the bag of tricks..." Midoriya peered closely.
Bakugou rubbed his hands together eagerly. "What've we got? What've we got? What've we got?"
The item in Todoroki's hand was thin and cylindrical. It was...it was...
Todoroki rested his forehead against the back of his right hand. His face was on the verge of crying, but not because he was sad. But because this item he's holding was—
"It's confetti!" Midoriya fell onto his bottom.
Bakugou scowled at him. "It's a party popper, more specifically! Look closer!"
Midoriya ignored him and got back to his feet. "Well, poor Todoroki. Now he's going to leave a bang and a mess."
His pulse racing, Todoroki angled the party popper away from him and towards the open area that separated the row of two columns of desks in this library. Behind him, Ojiro and Koda stood up from their desks, ready to leave the library.
Across the small open area, Iida smirked smugly at his desk. The sight of Todoroki sweating and refusing to make eye contact with the party popper in his hand was too satisfying for him.
Making a mental prayer, Todoroki opened the party popper.
BOOM!
A loud explosion happened as streamers and confetti shot up into the air. Several students gasped around him. Kaminari and Kirishima nearly fell back in their chairs since they were literally sitting next to Todoroki.
Ojiro and Koda almost tripped over the chairs from the shock of the party popper suddenly going off. This was the first time the students in the library made a major reaction.
"Excuse me," Todoroki covered his face shamefully with one hand. "Sorry..."
Midoriya and Bakugou laughed until their stomachs hurt. By now, several of the students in the library were starting to pay attention to the two noise-making students. A few of them were starting to look pretty pissed too...
Todoroki made a defensive gesture with his arms, trying to feign innocence. "Did not realize that it would go off..."
Iida was trying so hard not to laugh, that he ended up looking up he was coughing up a lung instead! He was teetering back and forth on his chair, covering his mouth with both his hands, his breath coming out in wheezes.
Midoriya takes over the microphone. "I did not realize that everyone would react as they are reacting right now! Look! No shushes!"
And the shush bowl gets thrown to Iida. Who is pretty confident about his results by now. That confidence quickly faded as soon as he took out his next item. Another instrument. But this is one that did not require blowing.
"A jingle stick!" Midoriya sputtered.
"A jingle stick?" Bakugou wrinkled his nose. "What on earth is a jingle stick!?"
Midoriya looked at him weirdly. "It's—it's a stick that jingles!"
"Really, Deku?" Bakugou rolled his eyes at him.
Todoroki smiles as Iida lifted the jingle stick over his neck and began to gently shake it. But even gentle shaking didn't lower the volume of the bells.
Jingle! Jingle! Jingle!
Tokoyami looked over from the computers area to see what was the cause of that ruckus and isn't surprised to see Iida shaking the jingle stick like a fool. Yaoyorozu sighed in exasperation as she tucked a strand of her behind her ear.
Suddenly, a mumble was heard from the computers area. Iida immediately stopped jingling. Fear filled his eyes.
But excitement filled Midoriya's and Bakugou's. Have they finally found someone who shushed Iida?
"Oh! Oh! Any shushes!?" Midoriya asked.
But whatever that mumble was from before, it didn't come back again. The library remained silent, just like it always had after every round.
Bakugou's jaw is dropping to the floor. "Whoa! Mr. Class Rep, you're still shushless!"
"You guys are pretty good at this!" Midoriya commented. "Or maybe, the people in the library here are way too nice."
"Todoroki's turn, here we go," Bakugou continued.
And it is back to Todoroki once again. He is no longer smiling as he dejectedly reached one hand into his backpack to grab the fourth item from it.
But before he could even take it out. He immediately covered his mouth in shock with his other hand. His eyes grew wide and a nervous smile formed on his face as he shook his head.
Iida knew what made Todoroki react like that. And that caused him to lean forward in his chair, looking forward to seeing everyone's reactions once again.
Midoriya and Bakugou don't know though. They leaned closer to the screen to see what it was that made Todoroki so scared.
"What is it? What is it?" They asked in unison.
Todoroki shook his head more firmly, letting go of the item in the backpack. He looked really nervous. He was sweating like crazy.
"I'm not doing it," he mumbled.
"What do you mean, you're not doing it!?" Bakugou screeched.
"Pull it out a little!" Midoriya suggested. "At least let us see what you have!"
Reluctantly, Todoroki reached back into his backpack and pulled out the item that he was so afraid of.
A giant pair of cymbals.
That earned a round of applause from Midoriya and Bakugou as they howled with laughter. Iida placed a finger to his lips in a shush gesture to torment poor Todoroki.
"Here he goes...HERE HE GOES!" Midoriya shook.
Sucking in a deep breath, Todoroki picked up the cymbals with either hand and spread them wide open before clashing them together.
CCCLLLLAAANNNNGGGG!
This was by far. The LOUDEST sound made by any of the items since the start of this challenge! It was so loud that the sound continued to last for a few seconds after Todoroki initially made it.
All the surrounding students covered their ears, especially Jirou, but none of them seemed to be too pissed. Most of them were just shocked at first, then began to quietly laugh, while others paid no attention and went back to being on their devices.
Iida was amongst the students laughing quietly.
Todoroki had had enough of this. It was simply too much.
Before he got the chance to examine the room for any shushes, Todoroki picked up his book that he was 'reading' and the cymbals and began walking towards the exit of the library.
"Wait, where's he going!?" Bakugou cried in between outbursts.
"You can't leave, Todoroki!" Midoriya reminded as he tried to stand up from the ground. "You leave, you lose! What are you doing?"
Todoroki didn't listen to them though. He just kept on walking, feeling countless of eyes staring down his back as he did.
"Dude, you're going to lose!" Bakugou shouted.
"No! No! No! No! No!" Midoriya cried as Todoroki disappeared from the library through the exit. "Todoroki...I'm afraid you're going to have to receive punishment later on."
"Well, looks like Glasses-guy takes it!" Bakugou applauded.
Iida saluted with dignity before blowing into the slide whistle again, this time, to symbolize his victory in this match.
Next match, it's going to be Midoriya vs Bakugou in this same game!
Don't worry! The next match is right around the corner! I'll be releasing the second chapter a few hours from now, ok? :D
