If Aizawa expelled…
Chapter five: Animal Anarchy
The audience that had been summoned to the theater room by the Realmcrafter Talespinner69 had just finished watching the fourth realm that had been lined up for them in this new show. The different realms in this show each depict Aizawa expelling a different one of his students in class 1-A, one per realm, and the consequences that follow depending on which student ends up getting the axe.
Gesturing to the big theater screen, Aizawa said, "You know, a lot of these realms seem pretty farfetched if you ask me."
"Well crafted realms vary, like Tale had said," Kotaro remarked dryly from where he stood in front of the big theater screen next to Tale, "And there are a lot of people who want to get their point across about how your habit of using expulsion as a threat ain't the best thing in the world."
Paling a bit, Kirishima said, "I still can't believe how things ended up going down just because I was given the boot."
"Is Aizawa-sensei even allowed to expel any of us without consequence?" Izuku asked, worried how badly things could go in the realms that have yet to be played.
Tale shrugged as he remarked, "We'll know the answer to that by the end of this show. Anyway, we got the next realm ready to be played."
Everyone in the audience turned to look at the big theater screen, with Tenya saying, "I hope things won't end up going too poorly in this realm..."
...
(If Aizawa expelled Koji Koda)
"Wait, Koda's next?" Aizawa in the audience said in a surprised tone, "I'm worried about what could have led to the me in this realm deciding to expel Koda."
"I'm more worried about how this could come back to bite you on the ass," Hizashi remarked, "I mean, how would things go down here?"
Aizawa was not quite sure why he, as well as Hizashi and Sekijiro, had to take the 1-A and 1-B classes to the local zoo in what Nezu told them was a 'mandatory field trip'. The underground hero assumed that Nezu simply wanted the hero courses students to have as normal of a high school experience as they could be given; heroes in training as they may be, the students were still students after all.
"A field trip to the zoo," Aizawa in the audience remarked as he gestured to the big theater screen, "I can already see a million and a half ways this could go really south really quickly if Koda's not there to help out, given his quirk."
Aizawa was looking around at his twenty students; even Shinso, who was added to 1-A in the wake of Koda being expelled, looked to be having fun as he mingled with his new classmates. As he was doing his job of chaperoning the field trip, Aizawa was met up by Hizashi and Sekijiro, the latter of which was eating a funnel cake he got from a concession stand that was a short walk away.
"You know, this would have been a great time for that Koda boy that you expelled, Aizawa," Sekijiro remarked, "Tell me, why did you expel him again?"
"He very clearly was the one who vandalized my new car," Aizawa explained, "Given how it was vandalized, it just had to have been him."
In the audience, Aizawa face palmed. "...Please tell me this isn't going to be another case of me jumping to conclusions..."
While the three teachers and pro heroes talked, three of Sekijiro's boys, those three in question being Monoma, Shihai and Togaru were looking around as their classmates hung out with the students in 1-B's rival class, 1-A. Monoma gently shook his head as he looked around at all of what he thought was a complete and total travesty.
Gesturing around, Monoma said, "Can you believe it, boys? We're forced to mingle with those brain dead Neanderthals in 1-A. What's worse is that some of those barbarians are even dating the girl in our class!" To emphasize this, Monoma gestured to where Todoroki and Reiko were seen walking out of a gift shop while Reiko was carrying a giant plushy snake, then to where Bakugo and Pony stood at a concession stand while getting snacks, and then to Kirishima and Kinoko where the latter threw her arms around the former's neck to pull herself up to plant a kiss on Kirishima's lips.
"Aww, the boys are being so sweet!" Inko in the audience remarked, with Mitsuki nodding along in agreement; she was especially amused to see her brat get lucky with the half-American girl of class 1-B.
Pounding a fist into his hand, Monoma said, "This injustice of 1-A practically going about as of they own the place cannot be tolerated any longer! We must do what we have to in order to show them up and make them receive the serving of humble pie that is a long time coming!"
With an amused smirk on his face, Shihai replied, "Don't worry. The plan we got cooking will get the job that you want done taken care of, Monoma." The three boys then proceeded to share a group laugh.
Her gaze narrowing in suspicion, Itsuka in the audience said, "...What the hell are those three up to this time?"
"I'm getting a dreading feeling that whatever it is that those three end up trying to pull off," Aizawa remarked, "Me having expelled Koda beforehand will make it many times worse than what it could have been." A number of pairs of eyes all turned to look at where Monona, Shihai and Togaru all sat in the audience, making them all shrink into their seats out of a dreading sense of embarrassment.
As the three boys snuck off to carry out whatever it was that they have planned, some of the other first year hero course students were conversing amongst themselves. One such talk was between Izuku, Uraraka, Bakugo and Pony. "So Deku," Bakugo began, "Was it you that had asked Round Face out, or the other way around?"
Blushing fiercely in embarrassment, Izuku said, "Umm, I think it'd be more accurate to say that Uraraka and I asked each other out at roughly the same time." Uraraka, who was similarly as embarrassed, nodded in confirmation.
"Ah ha ha!" Bakugo in the audience laughed, "Deku's together with Round Face! I knew that they'd fit together!"
"...Wait, what?" Izuku replied, not quite sure if he had heard Bakugo correctly.
As the four of them talked, they were met up by an annoyed looking Mineta. "...Why is it that you and Bakugo have girlfriends but I don't, Midoriya?" Mineta asked.
Izuku, as casually and innocently as possible, replied, "Well for starters, Kacchan and I are able to tell the difference between a girl and an object." Bakugo and the girls weren't able to help themselves as they started laughing hysterically at the comment that Izuku had just made, drawing a depressed look out of Mineta and a curiously confused look out of Izuku.
As the laughter settled down, Pony turned to Bakugo and said, "Hey, I'm kind of hungry. Think we can sit down and have lunch?"
With a knowing smirk, Mineta said, "You know, Pony, you can sit on-"
"Touch my girlfriend's ass," Bakugo began to threaten as he interrupted Mineta, "And I'll toss you into the gorilla enclosure that we're standing next to."
In the audience, Kaminari said, "I have a dreading sense of worry for the well-being of that gorilla. Is that normal?"
As the field trip was going along, Aizawa and his fellow UA teachers who were chaperoning the trip looked up and over when they heard a bunch of civilians running around in panic. Looking over, the three pro heroes saw that a bunch of the zoo animals had gotten loose and were now in the middle of rampaging all over the zoo.
At that moment, a lot of people in the audience all turned to look at Monoma, Shihai and Togaru, making all three of them shrink further into their seats.
"Holy crap!" Sekijiro exclaimed as he, Aizawa and Hizashi saw not just the civilians panicking as the loose zoo animals were rampaging, but now the 1-A and 1-B students were panicking as well. "We've got to do something about the escaped animals, gentlemen!"
"Don't worry boys, I got this one," Hizashi said as the took a few steps forward. Aiming his right hand forward, Hizashi yelled, "JUMANJI!" When nothing in the slightest changed over the next few seconds, Hizashi turned back to face Aizawa and Sekijiro and said to them, "...Well I'm all out of ideas." Aizawa then predictably slapped Hizashi in the face for being stupid.
As the civilians and other people at the zoo began to panic, Monoma stepped forward and loudly declared, "Not to worry, good people of Japan! For the students of UA High School's class 1-B is here to save the d-" Monoma was cut off when a peacock that was running around in a panic jumped up and unintentionally smacked its body into Monoma's face, making him fall over and hit the ground.
Togaru and Shihai would have helped Monoma, but they got scared and ran when a full grown African bull elephant came stomping in their general direction.
"Wait, they let an elephant like that loose?!" Itsuka in the audience exclaimed, "What the actual hell is wrong with them?!"
"Hey, the boys and I would never seriously do something like this for real!" Monoma defended, drawing agreeing nods from Shihai and Togaru.
"We got to do something fast, boys!" Sekijiro exclaimed as he, Aizawa and Hizashi were grouped up together on the roof of a gazebo, "Not only are there civilians in danger, but our students as well!"
Hizashi, with a look of realization on his face, exclaimed, "I got it! Aizawa's boy Koda can save the day here! His quirk is perfect for-"
"I expelled Koda, remember?!" Aizawa snapped as he interrupted Hizashi.
Smacking his forehead, Hizashi said, "Fuck, that's right!" Holding his hands up in a pleading gesture, Hizashi said, "Why, Aizawa? Why did you have to go and expel the one student who could have saved us all here?"
"Two things," Aizawa began, "One, there was no way of foreseeing that this whole mess here at the zoo would have occurred, and two, I had to expel Koda since he vandalized my new car!"
Folding his arms over his chest, Aizawa in the audience said, "...I want to know how it was that Koda vandalized my car that I apparently have in this realm."
Turning to face Aizawa, Sekijiro asked, "How was your car vandalized again?"
Gesturing with his hands in the air, Aizawa explained, "Koda clearly had used his quirk to command a large flock of pigeons to fly overhead in unison and not only crap on my car, but have their crap land in a way that ended up forming a shape that greatly resembles a middle finger being flipped! There's no way pigeons could have done something like that naturally!"
Hizashi, with a mildly worried and embarrassed look on his face, pointed to Aizawa and said, "Wait a minute, that was your car?"
"...Yamada..." Aizawa in the audience began, his tone making it clear that he was probably not going to like where things were leading up to here.
Turning to face Hizashi, the underground hero explained, "Yeah, the crimson red Prius is mine, Hizashi. Why do you-" Aizawa stopped short as pieces fell together in his head. "...You," Aizawa said in a threatening tone as he pointed an accusing finger in Hizashi's face.
"In my defense, I thought that it was Nemuri's car," Hizashi replied in an embarrassed manner.
"Wait, why would you want to vandalize Nemuri's car," Sekijiro asked, "Or in this case, a car that you thought was Nemuri's?"
Sighing, Hizashi confessed, "I'm still salty about how Nemuri embarrassed me in front of the rest of the UA staff during the meeting that took place on the first of this month, so I gathered a bunch of pigeons and trained them to fly overhead in formation to crap on Nemuri's car in a way that would draw a middle finger being flipped in bird crap." His shoulders dropping, Hizashi added, "The only problem here is that I ended up sending the pigeons to do the deed on Sho's car instead."
"...I'm more surprised than anything else that the Hizashi in this realm had the time, dedication and know-how to do all of that," Aizawa in the audience remark in a genuinely surprised tone as he gestured to the big theater screen.
"And I'd do a proper job of looking into things if I ever wanted to pull off a prank like that," Hizashi pointed out, "So that I don't hit the wrong person by mistake."
Over where all of the first year hero course students were dealing with the escaped zoo animals now, Kirishima in his Red Riot Unbreakable mode attacked an adult male lion that was mauling down on Kinoko's right thigh, making her cry out loudly in extreme pain. Kirishima grabbed the lion's jaws and forcefully opened the jaws up with such force that he broke the lion's lower jaw, making it hang uselessly there. A punch to the forehead from Kirishima ended up knocking out the lion, allowing Kirishima to collect his wounded girlfriend and get her the hell out of there.
The escaped elephant was stampeding towards where Uraraka was trying to direct the panicking civilians towards the exit. As the elephant was a few meters away from Uraraka, Izuku jumped in and struck the elephant in the eye with a Detroit Smash, packing as much power as Izuku could manage without hurting himself. This was sufficient to send the elephant off course and save both Uraraka and the civilians, but making Mineta have to jump out of the way in order to avoid being stomped by a large multi-ton land mammal.
...However, Mineta in his jump accidentally landed in the gorilla enclosure, where he was confronted by the one gorilla who was in there. The gorilla picked Mineta up, threw him over its shoulder, then proceeded to carry him off. "That kid landed in the gorilla enclosure!" one of the zookeepers exclaimed as he aimed a rifle into the enclosure, "We need to-"
Another zookeeper stopped the first, making him pull the rifle back. "...No," the second zookeeper said, a hint of grim knowing in his tone, "History shall not be repeated on this day."
Where he sat in the audience, Kaminari nodded in approval as he had his arms folded over his chest. "...This is good. This is good."
"But what if that gorilla tries to harm me?!" Mineta exclaimed as he gestured to the big theater screen.
...
Aizawa, Hizashi and Sekijiro had all of the first year hero course students aside from Kinoko who was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance gathered outside of the zoo. They were all standing in the park toot near the zoo's main entrance.
"...Yeah, thank you," Sekijiro said into his phone before ending the call. To everyone that was gathered, the blood hero said, "That was the hospital just now. Kinoko will be okay, and she won't be losing her leg, thanks mostly to Recovery Girl's timely intervention." A number of the students, Kirishima in particular, all breathed sighs of relief.
Hizashi nodded in agreement as he folded his arms over his chest. "Yes. We're all very lucky that no one had died today."
"That gorilla thought I was its baby and forcefully tried to feed me some of the food that the zookeepers gave it," a rather disheveled looking Mineta said as he raised a hand.
In the audience, Kaminari breathed a sigh of relief as he held a hand over his chest in a relieved gesture. "Thank goodness that gorilla made it through this realm alright."
Turning to face Kaminari, Kyoka asked, "Why were you so worried about the gorilla, Kaminari?"
"At least it didn't try to kill me," Mineta said dryly, for some odd reason not surprised in the least that a zoo animal was allowed to mess with him.
Turning to face Hizashi, Aizawa said, "You know, you're just as liable for what happened here as I am, Hizashi."
"Whachoo on about, Sho?" Hizashi asked.
Pointing an accusing finger in Hizashi's face, the underground hero said, "It was your prank that prompted me to expel Koda who, if he were here, could have practically resolved the whole incident all on his own! Why didn't you at the very least first check to make sure that the car that you sent your trained pigeons to crap on was Nemuri's car?!"
"Wait, what's Hizashi-sensei doing with trained pigeons?" an utterly lost looking Tenya asked as he raised a hand, "And how does it have anything to do with Koda being expelled?"
"Why does Hizashi-sensei want trained pigeons to defecate on Nemuri-sensei's car?" Izuku asked, looking and sounding just as lost as Tenya.
Todoroki, his arms crossed over his chest, remarked, "Nemuri-sensei doesn't even own a car. She owns an orange Volkswagen van, the cool classic kind, that she had imported from a dealer in the United States and restored."
"Well alright," Nemuri in the audience remarked in an amused tone, "I got some good tastes in this realm, it seems."
"Nemuri, not now," Aizawa snapped, really not liking how he had been shown as unjustly expelling a student from his homeroom class yet again.
Sighing in an exasperated tone, Aizawa proceeded to explain to everyone the events that were all behind his decision to expel Koda from UA. He also made sure to point out all of what was connected to Hizashi, given that actions he took had a big part to play in influencing him in his decision to give Koda the boot.
After all was said and done, the students looked on at the teachers with a mix of looks. "...Wow Aizawa-sensei," Sato remarked, "You really dropped the ball on this one."
"In his defense, Hizashi-sensei sort of prompted him to drop the ball," Ojiro pointed out, drawing a nod of agreement from Sato.
"Aizawa-sensei," Tenya began as he raised a hand, "Now that you know that Koda is actually innocent, would it be considered possible for him to be offered to be re-enrolled into UA?"
Nodding in understanding, the underground hero said, "Actually, that's not a bad idea at all. And both Hizashi and I will also be working on setting up a proper apology to Koda should he accept the re-enrollment."
Sucking in a cringing breath, Hizashi said, "Hoo boy, I have no idea how we're going to break all of this news to Nezu." With nothing else going on to keep them there, the UA teachers led the hero course students away from the zoo.
As for their part, Monoma, Shihai and Togaru were all glad no one had learned of their part in the zoo animal escape incident, especially since Shihai had the foresight to snuff out the video camera system. They were all more than glad to let things go on as is.
FIN
"They got away with what they did?!" Itsuka in the audience exclaimed in righteous fury, "What in the actual hell?!" A number of the other UA students all threw things at Monoma, Shihai and Togaru, hitting them all in their heads. Even the big three were getting in on it, at least Nejire and Tamaki; Mirio was too busy sharing in Kaminari's relief over the gorilla being okay.
Turning to face Aizawa, Hizashi said, "So I guess you need to do a proper job when it comes to investigating things you think your kids are responsible for before you act, huh?"
"I already know to do that," Aizawa replied, "But this realm that had finished playing just now raises a valid point. Do you do a proper job at what you do? Because a lot of these realms have shown you having a notable lack of competency."
His arms folded over his chest, Stain spat, "If there's one thing that I hate more than fake heroes being fake, its them being incompetent.
Down in front of the big theater screen, Kotaro said to Tale as he turned to face him, "Well now, I'd easy things have gotten interesting."
Shrugging, Tale remarked, "And to think. We've only seen five of the twenty realms lined up so far, meaning we're only twenty-five percent of the way done here." Kotaro nodded in agreement, knowing that things may very well get crazier as the rest of the realms are played.
END OF CHAPTER
Author's notes;
Yeah, no one died this time, although there were a few close calls. Anyway, this was the Koda chapter, so he can be crossed off the list. The next chapter will require a bit of brainstorming, given who I have lined up.
And now I ask for help; Monoma, Shihai and Togaru will be getting their comeuppance in a later chapter, but I would like ideas on what to do for it. That is where you guys come in; I'll be considering ideas for how the three boys will get their comeuppance in a future chapter. I will credit the one whose idea I use when the chapter in question crops up.
