Chapter 18: Final Exam
You walked into class and prepared yourself. Today was the exam, and you planned on acing it without any distractions.
Was it hard? Yes, but you managed to finish it within the time limit.
You took a deep breath before heading over to Todoroki's desk once the written exam was officially over.
As you made your way over, you kept telling yourself that what happened yesterday was just an 'in the moment' kind of thing, nothing to get so worked up about.
"Hey Y/n." You could see how his stoic expression softened when he looked at you, making you feel a lot less stressed.
"Hey Todo, how did you do?"
Todo??? TODO? What kind of a nickname is THAT??
You mentally facepalmed.
He's probably gonna tell me not to call him that, nice going Y/n.
Todoroki didn't pay much mind to the nickname you gave him, he thought it was refreshing and nice. "It wasn't that hard really." The honesty in his voice made you sigh. "Are, you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm just wondering how the hell you thought that 'It wasn't really hard'." You took a seat at the empty desk in front of him.
"Well, the answers were obvious if you knew what to study." He said bluntly.
"I studied with you!"
"Hey Y/n, how did you do?" Izuku walked up to you two.
"JUST GREAT." You got up and went to the cafeteria before the next exam. Meanwhile, Izuku and Todoroki just looked confused.
"Is she okay?"
"I asked her the same thing." Todoroki shrugged.

Everyone was all lined up in their Hero uniforms as Aizawa explained the final exam.
We're fighting against the teachers???
"First of all, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, and Y/n are a team, and they're fighting me." Aizawa had that creepy smile making you cringe. "They're the only team with three." Lidia immediately raised his hand.
"Wouldn't that give them that advantage to escape since they're three people!"
"Y/n has not yet had a proper battle with her Quirk, on top of that, she has not used it in a situation like this, she would be more of a weight for them."
"Hey!" You shouted in annoyance. You crossed your arms, ticked off by his statement.
Well...He's not wrong...
"Alright, everyone get ready." He announced and everyone started going their separate ways.
You looked at the screen in the room and searched for your names. "So we're the fourth match."
"Shall we talk strategy?" Asked Momo.
"Right!" The three of you started walking inside the building and found a small room with two small couches.
"Y/n, you know more about Mr.Aizawa right?" Todoroki started off. "Tell us everything you know about him."
"Well, because of the aftereffects of USJ, he should have a decrease in time when he can use his quirk, and an increased interval between uses." You laid your hand on your leg and tapped your finger as you tried to think what else could be helpful.
"And what do you know about his scarf?" Asked Momo.
"The cloth is made from steel wire alloy woven with carbon nanofibers." Your two friends stared at you in amazement. "What...?"
"You two are really close." Todoroki showed a small smile to which Momo didn't miss.
"Yeah, he acts all cold and tries to act cool but I know on the inside he's a real softy. I wonder why they chose me to be in the group against him." You pondered on the thought. "I know a lot about him, so wouldn't that put him at a disadvantage?"
"Maybe the fact that you rely more on your Quirk." You looked at Todoroki with an eyebrow raised. "Of course, we do too." He motioned to himself and Momo.
"Right..." The three of you sat there in silence, each person thinking up their own strategy, forgetting to communicate it to the others and before you all knew it, you were being called to get ready to go next.
"What? That quickly?" Momo stood up with her hand on her chest, looking nervous.
"We should get going." You nodded your head, Momo mirroring your actions. You walked down the hall panic and anxiety slowly rising at the realization that you didn't know what you were doing.
1. You don't have experience.
2. You never actually studied for this.
3. You didn't think like a hero as they do.
So how were you going to help them?
"GO!" You jumped hearing the alarm ring, indicating that the exam started. You quickly started following behind Todoroki and Momo. The area you were all placed was like a residential area.
Just how big is this place?
"Yaoyozuro, it doesn't matter what you make, just keep creating some small objects." Instructed Todoroki taking you out of your thoughts. "When you can't make them anymore it means Mr. Aizawa is close." It was a bit awkward hearing them say 'Mr. Aizawa' since you weren't used to it but now wasn't the time to think about that. The three of you kept running down an alleyway until you reached the end and stayed at the corner.
"Once we can see him, I'll draw him to me. Then you two should run to the escape gate. Stay with me until then. Y/n, be ready to teleport us away just in case." You nodded and had your hands hovering over their arms. You looked over at Momo and it looked like she wanted to say something.
"What's wrong? Hurry up and make something." Instructed Todoroki as he looked left and right.
"Right...Okay." Once the coast was clear, you all started jogging down the streets again and you watched how little dolls started to pop out of Momos arms.
"Yaoyorozu, I told you to make something, but what are those?"Todoroki questioned honestly curious.
"Russian matryoshka dolls." She answered as she stuffed a few of them in her belt.
"I see. Well, let me know if you notice anything strange with your quirk." Your group kept running around in search of the exit but to no avail.
"How do we even know where we're going?" You asked, feeling like you've passed by the same street like three times, your bad sense of direction not helping you.
"Just follow me." Answered Todoroki. You didn't really like this change in attitude he had, as if he needed to be the leader of the group rather than working together. You were about to say something but Momo spoke up before you could.
"I expect nothing less from you, Todoroki." She began.
"About what?" He asked, not really looking at her as he kept walking around the neighborhood.
"You were able to come up with a plan to use against Mr.Aizawa so quickly. And you were able to determine what would be best at once." She looked at the ground as she spoke.
"It's nothing special."
"Nothing special...?" She paused for a moment. "As students who got into U.A. through recommendations, we started from the same place, but in terms of the practical skills a hero needs, I haven't done anything that stands out." She looked down, depressed even. "During the cavalry battle, I just did what you said." She let out a sigh. "In my own fight, I lost before I could do anything against Tokoyami."
"Yeah but you still handle your Quirk incredibly well Momo." You tried to make her feel better. "Plus, we're all still learning, right? It's okay to make mistakes and-"
"Yaoyorozu, your matryoshkas..." Realization kicked in. "He's coming!"
"Sorry!"
"If you realized that then you should immediately start acting!" Aizawa appeared upside down like spiderman behind Todoroki. You grabbed Momo in hopes that you could at least teleport with her away but Aizawa already had taken away your quirk too.
Todoroki tried to hit him with a high kick but Aizawa was quick to get on the ground and dodge. "In this case, you should prioritize Evasion. Since I stole a march on you."
"Yaoyorozu, Y/n, go!" He tried to kick Aizawa again but missed. Momo seemed surprised and started running away, you following right behind her.
You two ran in silence, not really knowing what to do or where to go.
As you run by her side you could see the panic in her expression. It looks like she's completely lost confidence in herself. You were about to suggest a plan but you were interrupted when
"Mr.Aizawa!"
Then does that mean Todoroki's...?
He didn't waste a second and threw his scarf forward, catching Momo's left arm, you were next but you teleported away in time.
What? My quirks not erased?
"Creation!" You heard Momo shout and made a cylinder around her wrist and got the scarf to slip off. You took this chance and managed to get away with her, but she was going in the opposite direction.
Looks like we're going back to save him.
