Chapter 50: Discussion

But hearing All Might, Shido shelved all his thoughts and relaxed. Not that he made any effort, but simply because he was about to attack again.

Instead, the students, once they heard the voice of All Might, immediately fell, tired and painful on the ground. Even the usually loud and obnoxious Katsuki had nothing to shout or retort.

What they were feeling right now was something they had never felt in their life. This pain is not something that a normal person would like to feel and for this reason, all four of them ,not on the asphalt, had begun to take deep breaths, trying to lessen that pain even by a bit.

Shido looked at the students with a smile and said,"We don't have all day, that little pain can't stop you, can it?"

At Shido's words, the students gritted their teeth and tried to put strength into their arms, pushing themselves up.

It was not an immediate thing, but Shido stood there looking at them with an impassive face and, only after all the students stood up, Shido continued,"How about coming back?"

At those words, the students nodded, albeit with difficulty.

*****************

"So, how did this first experience go?"

Once the students went back to where everyone else was, they heard a voice say this. After hearing it, they turned around and observed the person who said that sentence.

"...All Might..."The four students whispered in a fairly weak tone of voice. Especially Izuku, who was All Might's successor, disciple so to speak. He felt as though he had let his master and idol down. It was not the first time he was beaten by Shido, but even after using their quirks along with another three people and still not even landing a scratch on Shido, that was something else.

For the other three students, they had made a fool of themselves in front of their favourite hero, they didn't even manage to score anything during that fight.

All Might, seeing them with this attitude and in this particular mood, immediately showed his distinctive smile and then, with an encouraging tone, said,"There is no harm in losing, no one is born perfect and no one knows everything. For this reason, living is synonymous with growing, both physically and mentally. This may have been a hard lesson for your spirits, but I'm sure this defeat will have a positive effect on you."

Looking at Shoto and Katsuki, All Might continued,"There are people who, due to their pride and confidence, end up tripping and falling in their own way for a simple mistake."

At the words of All Might, the boys lowered their eyes as well as their heads. However, hearing the next words of the hero, they raised their heads and looked at the hero with four serious and convinced eyes.

"But...these people who do not want to get up once they have fallen, will not go forward in life at all. It is precisely from the mistakes that you learn how to walk forward."

Certainly, the words of All Might had a really positive effect on the soul of the students. Everyone now possessed something more inside their eyes and thus, inside their soul. A tenacious spirit, a spirit which would always aim forward, never giving up no matter what odds are against them.

All Might, turning around, looked at the students who had stayed with him watching the battle and asked,"So what do you think of this battle? What are your opinions? Your observations?"

Immediately Momo raised her hand and then began to speak, leaving All Might quite speechless.

"There have been many mistakes from our classmates, I won't talk about what All Might himself has already said about it, but I noticed an error in classmate Bakugo-san who went head down against Itsuka-sensei without thinking about it because of provocation. This is a mistake which would have to be absolutely avoided..."

In this way, the girl started to list every single mistake made by the classmates engaged in the 'fight'.

Both teachers remained there with a smile, but if the students had looked carefully at their faces, they would be able to see that they weren't so calm. Their faces had little spasms in their mouth and some drops of sweat dripped from their foreheads.

'This girl managed to spot so many flaws....' Shido thought to himself before looking at Katsuki. 'I'm even more surprised that this guy still hasn't burst out in rage or something. Maybe he got tired?'

All Might immediately said,"Okay, that's okay, let's thank Young Yaoyorozu for her brilliant explanation of the various flaws in the battle we saw earlier."

After a few seconds, All Might continued, looking again at the students who have not yet participated in a battle,"Since we have just completed the first demonstration, let's move on to the second..."

But he did not manage to finish his sentence before a student exclaimed,"Another match against Itsuka-sensei?!"

All Might sighed but with a smile, whispering in a very low voice,"Oh my..." Looking at these students in this way, who now had scared expressions on their faces, All Might shook his head before saying,"Don't worry, you won't go against Shido but..."

At the words of All Might, the students raised their ears, but what they heard afterwards left them stunned, and the colour went away from their faces.

"...against me!"

Seeing those agonised expressions of the students, All Might laughed, and then shook his head,"I was just kidding, you will face each other in a two against two battle, villains against heroes."

Finishing his words, he took out the box containing the students letters again, and carried it forward.

"For this reason, you need to get your letters now!"

The battles that followed were exciting for the students. After all, the students finally had a chance to express their strength in front of the eyes of their classmates. But for Shido who was just sitting at the side looking at their battles together with Yoshinon, it was a pretty boring time.

About an hour later, all the battles have finished.

"Well, that's it for today! Good job all of you, now get changed and go back to your classroom." All Might said,"If there are any questions, you may ask me now."

After answering a few questions, All Might dismissed them before returning back to the staffroom.

*****************

Once the lesson was over, since he had nothing to do, Shido went in search of All Might and found him right in the infirmary.

Shido knew that because Izuku tried to use 100% of his quirk in order to win against him, he had damaged his body and needed to be sent to the infirmary. And All Might, being the predecessor of One for All, cared deeply for Izuku, so he would naturally go to the infirmary to check on his inheritor.

"Hello, Mr Natural Born Hero and successor. How's your injuries?"

Hearing his words, All Might and Recovery girl were surprised. Immediately, All Might began to sweat. After all, he was talking to Recovery girl about some important and secret topics.

He was about to see who had listened to their conversation when Shido came in.

"Shido, you have me a heart attack..."

"Hello Shido-chan. How's Eri-chan?" Recovery girl greeted in a grandmotherly way. Eri, like Shido, was much stronger than peers her age, and with her quirk, she had interned under Recovery girl for a while and learnt how to use her quirk to heal others.

"Hello Chiyo Obaasan! Eri's fine. She's always cheerful and happy." Shido hugged her and replied with a smile. Recovery girl, or Chiyo Shuzenji was something akin to a grandmother to both Shido and Eri. To the both of them who do not have parents or any relatives, Chiyo's motherly love towards them have touched their hearts, and had become one of the closest people to them, along with All Might and, of course, each other.

After making sure that Izuku was fine, they sent him back to class before they continued talking casually for the rest of the day since none of them had any more classes that day.

A/N: This is a shorter chapter. At this point, I was so tired of writing about this world already and wanted to write about the next so badly!!! Too bad I still haven't even completed this world yet...rip. I predict that there's still a hundred plus more chapters on MHA....The battle trial arc is finally over. Next will be USJ, followed by sports festival, internship (short arc), test exercise against teachers, outside gathering with Shigaraki, school trip, kidnap, all might vs all for one again and many more...

This world is too peaceful and low level, so the next world will be more war-torn.
