Denki's POV:

As I entered class there was a buzz in the air, today was the midterm exams and tomorrow was the first day of Christmas break.

Everyone was both nervous and excited, nervous about the test and what we all might score, but also excited to be done with school for two weeks.

I was just happy that I could be done pretending for a little bit and go on missions while on Christmas break.

I know I asked the LOV for a normal Christmas, but let's be honest, going on missions is 'normal' for us.

I guess I just want to be able to spend time with this makeshift family we have.

"Okay everyone, settle down now. I am going to pass out the written portion of your pre-exam, you may start when you get your paper and you will turn it in when you are done or when the bell rings."

~Time skip~

After everyone was done with the written portion of the pre-exam, Mr. Aizawa told us it was time for the physical portion, and that we should all change into our training gear, and to meet at Gym Gamma.

*STOP HERE*

While walking to the locker rooms, Mr. Aizawa walks up to me and signals that he wants to talk to me so I walk over to him with a puzzled look on my face.

"Yes, Sensei?"

"I was just wondering if you would be okay to fight, I am going to make it hand-to-hand combat without quirks so I just want to make sure that you are okay with that after what you told me about your past."

"I should be fine as long as no one says anything to derogatory."

"So don't pair you with Bakugo then?" He asked while looking at me for confirmation.

"Well, I train with Baku-bro a lot so he is fine. It's just others that I don't know so well. Baku-bro has kind of learned what not to say around me because of small things like if I flinch or something. He is surprisingly observant just like Deku."

"Okay. Well, go change into your Training gear."

"You got it," I reply while running off to join my classmates in the locker room.

By the time I enter the locker room, everyone is just finishing up getting dressed, and heading out to meet the girls and Mr. Aizawa at Gym Gamma. I notice that the Baku Squad and Shin stay behind waiting for me.

As we all finally reached Gym Gamma, we saw that Mr. Aizawa was standing with two boxes on either side of him.

"In each box is a ball with your name on it, I will be pulling one from each the person on the paper is your opponent, and you get two chances to pass. If you don't like your opponent, then to bad, deal with it."

After pulling all the names twice he told us the pairings and the order.

Round 1-

-Bakugo vs. Tokoyami

-Todoroki vs. Shinso

-Asui vs. Hagakure

-Kaminari vs. Kirishima

-Shoji vs. Sero

-Jiro vs. Uraraka

-Midoriya vs. Ojiro

-Ida vs. Sato

-Ashido vs. Koda

-Yaoyorozu vs. Aoyama

Round 2-

-Uraraka vs. Ida

-Tokoyami vs. Todoroki

-Aoyama vs. Midoriya

-Ojiro vs. Bakugo

-Kirishima vs. Ashido

-Shinso vs. Kaminari

-Asui vs. Shoji

-Sero vs. Hagakure

-Jiro vs. Yaoyorozu

-Koda vs. Sato

(A/N there is no specific order or parings, I just put the names in a group generator and let it do the work for me)

Soon after Mr. Aizawa explained all the rules, we all got with our first partner and went to sit on the sides to watch while the first group went up to start the first round of the physical exams.
