MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

Thirteen: Time to see if Aizawa's problem children can defeat him.

The students looked up at the list Aizawa had projected with the students names, ranks, and scores in shock. Izuku had narrowly beat Mineta, even though he'd been able to use his quirk in at least the repeated side-step. Mineta burst into tears, only stopping when Ojiro hit him over the head with his tail and reminded him about the strategy exercise.

"Alright Deku, do you have a good understanding of your classmates' quirks?" Aizawa asked. When Izuku nodded he turned to the rest of the class, "I will go inside for five minutes and when I return, you will try to take me down." He turned and walked away. "Good luck."

Mitsuki: Oh, he won't need it.

All eyes turned to look at Izuku, who smiled, "Okay, so here's what I have in mind..."

"Why should we listen to you, Deku?" Bakugo stepped forward, explosions popping from his hands, "You're just some quirkless nobody."

Bakugo: Oh shut up other me!

Izuku took a deep breath, "I may not have an awesome quirk like you do, Kacchan, but," he screwed his eyes shut, "that doesn't mean I'm useless!"

(everyone cheered that he was standing up for himself)

There was a long moment of silence before Bakugo huffed, "Whatever nerd." He turned away from the group, "There's no way I'm taking orders from you. If any of you other extras know what's up, you'll refuse to follow this useless freak, but whatever. I'm out of here."

Kacchan went over and sat underneath one of the trees at the far end of the yard. Izuku's eyes lit up. Sitting where he was, Kacchan would be the first thing Aizawa would see when he came out, which meant that he, whether he knew it or not, could serve as a distraction to make the rest of the plan work.

Dabi: Yeah, go use him.

Iida tossed a flare toward where Kacchan was sitting, then turned to the rest of the group, "That was uncalled for. Deku has quite the professional reputation and he is far from useless. Although," he turned to Izuku, "the fact that you are quirkless puts your performance during the entrance exam into an entirely different light. I must apologize again for my rudeness that day."

"It's not a big deal!" Izuku waved his hands placatingly, then rubbed the back of his neck. "You didn't know I was quirkless and I try not to tell people if I can help it!"

All Might: With good reason...

"Still," Iida pushed his glasses up his nose, "it was very impressive."

"Dude," Kaminari interrupted, "are you really a recommendation student, even though you're quirkless?"

Kaminari: Sorry, Midobro.

Midoriya: No, it's okay, if our roles were reversed I would probably ask you that too.

Izuku nodded, "I had the good luck to get to know a few pro heroes in the last year. They recommended me because of my skills in analysis and strategy."

"Do you know why there are three of us in this class?" Todoroki's expression was hard to read, but Izuku figured he was confused, since his position as a recommendation student wasn't exactly normal.

Endeavor: He's confused.

"Politics," he gave a small, nervous smile, "Nezu figured there'd be a mutiny among the parents if a quirkless kid took one of the four normal recommendation spots, so he petitioned the school board to add an extra one this year. They officially approved it after seeing my performance in the exam."
