Hearing Dante's little taunt Shota Aizawa slowly got up from the ground, dusting himself as he did.
He looked at Dante with annoyance and with irritation. "What did you hope to accomplish with that?"
"Whatever do you mean Sir?" Dante gestured, pretending to be oblivious.
Seeing Dante's pretense Aizawa's eyes glowed red and his hair rose into the air. His irritation slowly morphing into anger. "Do you think this is a joke? Do I look like I'm joking with you? Does it look like I'm in any mood to be joked with?" He grabbed his scarf angrily. An indication that he was going to take action.
All Might seeing this and having saved all the students that were in any danger hurried in between the two to stop Aizawa.
"Please calm down. Why don't we just talk this out?" All Might offered a little awkwardly seemingly out of his depth.
"Do not stop me All Might. This is a serious matter, you should know this." Aizawa said pushing All Might's hand away. "He may not have been the one who threw the ball. But anyone with eye could tell he instructed Calvin to do what he did." "Endangering the lives of his fellow students," Aizawa shouted at the two.
Finally, Dante spoke calmly. "I did not endanger the lives of my fellow classmates.".
"What?! Is that your best excuse, when everyone clearly saw you instructing Calvin?" Aizawa asked, his anger peaking.
Dante irritated by this incident responded, "It's no excuse, Sir, only the truth." He boldly continued, though a little angry. "I did not endanger the lives of my fellow classmates."
"You did, Sir." He ended, coldly.
His response stunted those present. The students in the back were shaking and dreading the consequences of Dante's boldness.
The two heroes were stunted by his accusation.
"What did you just say?" Aizawa asked, he was past his boiling point.
"Please, Aizawa I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it." All Might was still awkwardly trying his best to mediate. "Young Vongola, stop this immediately. Hurry up and still awkwardly trying his best to mediate. "Young Vongola, stop this immediately. Hurry up and apologise to Mr. Aizawa."
"No, All Might. I meant everything by it. It was he who decided we weren't trying hard enough. It was he who decided he didn't like our attitude. It was he who decided to expel us, forcing us to this point." "We may be students that got in through recommendation, but that in no way means we did not work hard to be here. We were personally trained by world-class professionals and pushed past our breaking points countless times.
Needless to say, we understand our quirks much better than anyone. We understand the power we hold, and the damage they can cause and have personally seen and experienced them. We chose to hold back for that very reason." Shouted Dante causing Calvin who heard him to cringe at his shamelessness. Dante held back not out of concern for the safety of his classmates but because he couldn't be asked to try. Aizawa's judgment was mostly correct.
But Calvin wasn't going to out Dante cause although he was being shameless his works were no less true. They had literally poured blood, sweat, and tears to be there.
Dante continued " But you—a teacher, a hero, a figure of authority, you cornered us and forced us. So I will say it again."
Narrowing his gaze he looked directly into Aizawa's red eyes.
"We did not endanger the lives of our fellow students.
You did."
Silence fell and hung in the air. Everyone silently recounted the events that led to this moment. Including All Might. He had also witnessed what transpired during the lesson. And now that Dante had explained his actions it did seem like Aizawa forced his hand. In the previous challenges, Dante and Calvin had effectively conveyed their capabilities without endangering anyone. It was only after Aizawa's expulsion that this happened.
Everyone's eyes quietly and awkwardly darted back to Aizawa, it was obvious what they were all thinking.
His hair floated back down and his eyes returned to their previous black.
Realising his mistake, he sighed.
"You're right. I misunderstood. You have my apologies." He bowed slightly.
Mr. Aizawa's action shocked everyone present. But it shocked Calvin the most cause he knew for a fact that Mr. Aizawa was technically right. He just stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"No please Sir. Don't do this. How can I possibly accept a bow from you." Dante hurried to stop Aizawa.
All Might watching the two couldn't help but praise Dante. He had handled the situation excellently.
While stopping Aizawa from bowing his head Dante couldn't help but think.
'Oh my God I can't believe that worked. Did ROB give me talk-no-Jutsu without telling me? Cause damn. I was just saying stuff sure I got a bit heated but I did not think I was gonna save myself. Wow.'
Seeing that the situation had been handled most of the students rushed at Calvin wanting to talk about his early feat.
"Wow, Calvin I didn't know you were that powerful."
"So you were holding back in the previous test too right?"
"Yeah, but look at All Might."
"Man, that was so cool."
"Yeah, the was totally manly."
"All Might is right there!!"
"What is your quirk anyway?"
"Man, I'm so jealous. I wish I had such a quirk."
"Me too bro, me too."
"Is no one seriously going to address the fact that All Might is just standing there??!!"
Bakugo and Todoroki stared at Calvin deeply. It was unknown what they were thinking. Only that whatever he was thinking caused Bakugo to tremble and gnash his teeth. And Todoroki, to clinch his fist tightly.
Mr. Aizawa approached the crowd. "Alright, that's enough, good work everyone. Class dismissed." Before turning to leave.
The class also left to get changed out of their PE kits.
Watching the class leave All Might couldn't help but look at the mess on the field and be reminded of Calvin's throw.
'Young Midoriya, this may be more of a challenge for you than I initially thought.' He sighed.
On the way back Calvin was still surrounded by a crowd so Dante couldn't approach him.
He decides to walk at the back alone. Until he found someone walking next to him.
Looking to his side to see Momo Yoayorozu.
"Ahh, so the eavesdropper makes herself known," Dante exclaims.
"Wait. What?" Momo Yoayorozu panicked, caught off guard by his words.
Shyly and embarrassed with a slight blush she whispered while looking down "I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
Witnessing her actions Dante broke out into laughter.
"HAHAHAHA, Oh my God. I can't believe you. I was just messing with you."
"Why you!!" Momo Yoayorozu said angrily.
Looking at the teasing look in Dante's eyes realised she was not going to get anywhere with him.
Immediately calming herself down.
"I've been meaning to ask. Are you by any chance related to the actual Vongola Group?" She asked.
Looking at her with confusion. He confirmed. "Yeah. Why do you ask?"
"No reason. It's just that it's nice to have someone like me here. That's all." She said with a little emotion.
"Well, my eavesdropping friend. The feeling is quite mutual."
The was a pause. Before Momo commented, "What you said to Mr. Aizawa earlier, I thought it was good."
"Yeah, for some reason people think just because you got in through recommendation you are weak or undeserving of your place. When it couldn't be further from the turn... I'm sure you can relate. Only you know just how hard you worked to get here."
Momo smiled, her hard work was being recognised. Seeing this Dante patted her on the head.
Without waiting to see the aggregate look on her face, he left.
"Oh, looks like Calvin's free now. See ya later." Running to Calvin who had somehow escaped the mob.
