When Uraraka left to go to the Nurse's office, Dokusei met up with All Might and Bakugo. The walking grenade had a face of shell shock.
"Guess this is his first time losing, especially to Midoriya," Dokusei thought as he walked towards them.
"Young Sumiteru!" All Might yelled out and waved at him. "Let's head back; it's time for grading!"
Dokusei nodded, "Yes, Sir!"
The three went back to the monitoring room where the other students were waiting for them. Dokusei's eyes fell on Mina as they entered; she was giving him a big old smile and two thumbs up.
All Might stood in front of the class, the TV screens giving him a slight glow. "I say the M.V.P. in this battle was Sumiteru!"
Dokusei received a look of surprise on his face. "Wait, what?" He looked to All Might, "Shouldn't Uraraka or Midoriya be the M.V.P?
All Might's hand went sky high. "I wonder why? Anyone know?"
Yaoyorozu raised her hand. "I'll do, Sir." She looked at Dokusei. "It's because Sumiteru was most able to adapt to the scenario; he put aside his own grudge against Bakugo to work with him, and he nearly had Uraraka in the beginning of their conflict."
She turned her focus to said bomber. "From what I saw, Bakugo was the complete opposite with his partner. Bakugo's every action was motivated by an obvious personal grudge. And as you mentioned before, using such a destructive attack indoors was foolish, and I believe that that attack cost them the match."
Yaoyorozu turned her focus back to All Might, "Midoriya's performance suffered from the same personal grudge."
"Uraraka was the only one on her team who stayed focussed; however she didn't clear the room properly, and she was on the defensive most of the fight. She only got the upper hand when Bakugo unleashed his attacks, making Sumiteru lose focus. Her last attack was far too haphazard. Such an attack would be unthinkable if the "bomb" was real."
She returned her focus to Dokusei. "Sumiteru's only real mistakes were letting go of Uraraka, which he had no control over, letting his anger get the better of himself, and being too slow to react to what happened at the end. The Hero Team only won because this was a training exercise with exploitable constraints."
The whole room was silent after Yaoyorozu's lengthy explanation. Dokusei decided to break that. "Way to go, Miss. Encyclopedia," Dokusei said with a smile and a thumbs up.
All Might was slightly sweating. "I-I'd also add that Sumiteru was a bit rough with Uraraka, but... yes... you're correct...!"
Yaoyorozu was a bit taken back by Dokusei's comment yet quickly recovered and stood tall. "We've got to start at the bottom and work up! And if we don't earnestly cheer each other on, we'll never be top heroes!"
Dokusei applaud Yaoyorozu's little speech. That made said woman blush a bit. Not many noticed it but Dokusei and Mina did. He saw the evil smile spreading across his pink friend's lips; he gave her a light elbow.
Dokusei looked towards Bakugo, his face still in shell shook. Yet it seemed he had somewhat recovered. The cloaked hero saw the bomber flinch at Yaoyorozu's evaluation of him.
"Now for the next battle!" All Might called out. The next few fights weren't as chaotic as Dokusei's. The only one that came close was Todoroki's; he froze the entire building the moment the hero team entered.
Uraraka returned at the tail end of the fourth match. She was walking, stiffly but walking nonetheless. Dokusei waved to the girl. "Glad to see you out and about, Care Bear."
Uraraka was taken back by the nickname and slightly blushed. "Care Bear? Where did that come from?"
Dokusei rubbed the back of his neck. "When you landed on the bomb you looked like one of those Care Bears Mimi used to have." This caused the pink girl to punch Dokusei's shoulder, hard. "Ow! What was that for!?" He looked at Mina, who looked away pouting.
Uraraka looked at the two with a bit of surprise. "The way these two act..."
"The heroes win!" All Might shouted as the fourth match came to an end. The winning team was team I, Tsuyu Asui and Mashirao Ojiro; they beat team G, Kyoka Jiro and Toru Hagakure, with Asui being MVP.
"Now for the final match!" All Might pulled out the last two letters. "Team F are the heroes and team J are the villains!" The two teams were announced. Team F: Mina Ashido and Mezo Shoji versus Team J: Hanta Sero and Minoru Mineta.
Mina looked at Dokusei and Uraraka. "Wish me luck, you two!" With that she ran to her teammate. "Shoji, let's go kick their butts!" She grabbed one of his arms and started dragging him to the door.
The multi armed boy looked at Dokusei as he was being dragged away; the look of "Help me" was clear in his wide eyes. Dokusei just waved at him. "She does that; you'll be fine."
About a few minutes later, Uraraka looked at Dokusei. "Who do you think is going to win?"
Dokusei looked at the monitors, seeing Sero and Mineta using their quirks to place traps all over the place. "I'm leaning toward Mimi's team, but if they mess up they can easily be captured."
"Aren't you being a bit biased?" Uraraka asked with a tilt of her head. "You know, because she's your girlfriend?" she added while circling the air with her hand.
Dokusei let a chuckle escape. "Mimi and I aren't dating." He continued the rest in his head "Though she wishes we were."
This caused Uraraka to blush. "I'm sorry, I just assumed because you two are so close."
Dokusei just patted the blushing girl's head. "You're not the first to assume that, Care Bear. Probably won't be the last." He pointed to the traps the villain team placed. "And I'm trying not to be biased; Mimi's quirk is perfect for destroying those traps."
"Final match begin!" All Might's voice rang out, and Mina and her partner went in.
Shoji was using his quirk to listen for footsteps. He turned one of his arms into a mouth. "They split up; one is on the floor above us, and the other is pacing around two floors above him."
"Sweet! Can you tell who's who?" Mina asked as she dissolved a couple of purple balls that were placed haphazardly.
Shoji's arm ears searched again. "The one above us has a shorter stride than either of us," he replied after a moment.
"Then that's Mineta, right? The really short dude that Doku told me to stay away from?"
Shoji just nodded his head. "If we move now we might catch him, though watch out for traps."
"Right!" They both ran up the stairs, being careful not run into any traps. They found the little grape not long after they ascended the steps.
Mineta screamed as he was about to run, but Mina threw a glob of acid at him, landing in his way and dissolving the floor a bit. He stopped in his tracks and looked back, seeing Shoji towering over him. Mineta slowly backed up until he hit something; looking behind him, he saw that Mina somehow got behind him. Tears started rolling down his cheeks. "At least I die at the hands of a hot girl." Then Shoji wrapped him in capture tape.
"Kinda a let down, you know?" Mina asked. "Didn't even try to fight." She knelt down to Mineta's level. "Now where's the "bomb"?"
"I'm not saying anything!" Mineta yelled out as he squirmed in the tape.
"There must be some price," Shoji muttered allowed.
Mineta's face changed to a creepy one real quick. "Show me your tits and I'll tell you where the "bomb" is."
Back in the viewing room, Dokusei got a shiver down his spine. "My protect Mina from perverts senses are tingling." This got weird looks from his classmates, before they returned their attention back to the match.
Mina did not have an amused look on her face at all. "Shoji." Her voice had clear authority in it. "Throw him out the window."
Mineta yelled and kicked, "No! I was joking; the "bomb" is with Sero!" Shoji still picked him up and tossed Mineta out of the second-story window. Mineta feel towards the ground below but just before he hit the ground he was stopped. Looking back up, he saw multiple arms coming from the window he was just thrown out of. He saw Shoji still in the window and just as he was going thank him, Shoji let go while Mineta was still a meter off the ground.
"Well at least we know for a fact that Sero is with the "bomb"," Mina said with clear irritation in her voice. "Only one guy is aloud to see my girls," she thought out loud.
"I take it this one guy is your boyfriend, Sumiteru?"
Mina went stiff as a board. "Me and Doku aren't dating, and you heard nothing!"
Shoji was a taken back by her outburst. "My apologies, let's get back to the task at hand; we're wasting time."
Mina nodded and went ahead to scout for traps and destroy the ones she found.
It took a few minutes but they found Sero pacing back and forth around the "bomb". Shoji had an eye looking through a hole that Mina had made. Tape and purple balls were all over the place. "Sero must be pretty low, judging by the amount of tape. But it's going to be hard to fight in there."
"I got an idea; you keep him distracted while I grab the "bomb"."
Shoji looked around the room, seeing a doorway that was sealed off by tape on the opposite side from them. "There's another door; it's on the other side and sealed off. If you're quiet you could very easily sneak up to the "bomb"."
Mina eagerly nodded. "Alright! I'll go around while you keep him distracted!" Shoji nodded and went to the opened doorway while Mina ran for the sealed one.
Shoji waited for a few moments before looking around the corner with his eye arm. Sero saw the eye and shot tape at it, missing the limb. Shoji ran inside, dodging any tape that was shot at him and the strands already out. "Got to be careful, one wrong step and I'm caught like a fly in a spider web."
Sero's shots were obvious panic, no real aim just his version of spray and pray.
Mina just reached the sealed doorway when the fighting started. "Got to do this quick and quietly, Mina. Shoji is counting on you." She put the tips of her fingers at one high point and one low point. Slowly dissolving the tape, she moved her hands in a circle with a radius about her size.
Shoji was handling Sero well but the tape student recovered from his panic a bit; his shots were more accurate, yet Shoji was a bit light on his feet despite his size.
"Hold still, will you!?" Sero roared as Shoji dodged another tape shot.
"Can't do that, sorry."
Mina was able to get through the taped up door. She stepped though, and as quickly and quietly as she could, she made her way to the objective.
Sero roared as he shot more tape; his elbows were starting to hurt. "Got to finish this NOW!"
Shoji dodged the tape but stepped on one of Mineta's balls. His eyes widened in shock; Sero took this advantage and tapped up Shoji.
"The Hero Team wins!" All Might's voice pierced through the PA system
Sero looked back at the "bomb," seeing Mina next to it with a devilish smile on her face. Sero's shoulders dropped. "I've been played."
They returned to the viewing room. The moment Mina came in, Dokusei came up to her. "What did Mineta say to you?"
Mina's face darkened with rage before she whispered the answer into his ear. Dokusei's face went from concerned to pure wrath in an instant. His eyes locked onto the grape boy. Mineta felt death wash over him as he turned to face Dokusei's gaze. The cloaked hero dashed at Mineta but was stopped when strong arms grabbed him. Staring at the culprit, he saw it was Shoji. The taller boy just simply shook his head no.
Dokusei calmed down but his gaze never left Mineta. The short one pretended that Dokusei wasn't there, even though he was shaking like a leaf. The class was a bit wary of Dokusei and whatever Mineta did.
"Young Sumiteru! I'll deal with Young Mineta later." All Might broke the tension. Dokusei broke his gaze on Mineta and just nodded to All Might. "Now then! Who wants to guess the MVP of the match!?"
Dokusei raised his hand, just beating Yaoyorozu. "I believe that the MVP of this match is Mina, and no, I'm not being biased. From what we saw, Mina was able to come up with a decent plan to reach the objective, cleared most of the traps, and made use of her partner's quirk." Mina was smiling at Dokusei's praise. "However, she did tell Shoji to throw Mineta out of the window. Although Shoji did catch him before he hit the ground, it wasn't a way a hero should act.
Dokusei pointed to Shoji. "Mr. Six here was really following Mina's lead. Although he did fight Sero, Shoji was technically defeated right before Mina grabbed the "bomb"."
Dokusei looked at Sero and gave him a shrug. "Scotch Tape here had some ok placement with his tape but he made them way too obvious."
His gaze then went to Mineta and his eyes narrowed. "The Perverted Grape was literally useless in this match. Most of his traps were destroyed, didn't try to fight when he was cornered, and made a comment that could easily make him lose his hero license."
"How do you know that?" Tsuyu Asui asked.
"I told him," Mina answered for him.
"What did he say?" Kaminari asked before he was elbowed by Jiro.
Mina crossed her arms over her chest; her face morphed into a grimace of disgust. "He wanted to see my chest..." she mumbled loud enough for most of the class to hear.
At that discovery, all of the girls and some of the boys looked at Mineta with disdain. All Might got everyone's attention by cleaning his throat. "Now, now, my wards, I'll deal with Young Mineta's behavior after class after I check on Midoriya." He looked to Dokusei. "Young Sumiteru, you are correct; Ashido is the MVP of this match, and I'd like to add that even though Mineta didn't do any fighting, he did slow our heroes down a bit!"
All Might looked to the class. "Well done, everyone! There were no serious injuries, apart from Midoriya! Excellent teamwork though! You all preformed splendidly, considering this was your first training exercise!" All Might began to walk away.
"After Aizawa's test, such a straight forward class is almost a let down..." a classmate commented.
"We teachers are free to hold no-nonsense classes if we so choose! Now I'm off to give Midoriya his evaluation!" He looked back to his class. "Change out of your costumes and head back to the classroom, and Mineta, check into Aizawa's office; he'll already be informed by the time you get there." And like that he was off like a rocket.
Dokusei whistled at All Might's speed. "Now that's speed." He looked to Mina and put his hand on her shoulder. "Are you going to be ok, Mimi?"
She just nodded her head and stuck close to Dokusei. "I'll be fine; I was just caught off guard by his comment," she said with a forced smile. Her mind wasn't on Mineta's comment; it was actually on Shoji's. "Why can't I just tell you...?"
Dokusei looked at her, seeing straight through her fake smile. "Let me know if the Pervy Grape does something like that again; I'll make him regret it."
Mina just nodded and hugged him. "Thank you, Dokusei." She hid her face in his chest. "Is it because I know you don't see me like that? Am I too much like a "little sister" to you?"
Dokusei's own thoughts plagued him a bit as well. "I'll hate the day when I have to break your heart."
"Come on, you two! You don't want to be late, do you!?" Kirishima interjected.
Dokusei broke the hug and gave Mina a reassuring smile before walking towards the crowd. "I wish I could return your feelings, Mimi..."
