This is The Second Chapter of The Day!
-----
When the last week of June rolled in, the class was experiencing a crisis. A lot of them had put off studying because of everything that had been happening. Now, midterms were creeping up fast, and they were all panicking.
Yaoyorozu, on the other hand, was going through an existential crisis for an entirely different reason. She sat at her desk, flipping through a textbook, scowling.
"I forgot he is a secret nerd," she grumbled.
Jiro glanced over. "Who?"
Yaoyorozu jabbed a finger at me. "Him."
I looked up from my notes. "What?"
She narrowed her eyes. "I do not understand how you are ranked first."
I set my pen down. "I study."
"You barely take notes in class."
"I have a good memory."
She clicked her tongue. "That should not be enough."
"Clearly, it is," I said. "Maybe you are just falling off."
Her eye twitched. "I am not falling off."
Kaminari leaned over. "Man, I don't know why you're surprised. You've seen his quirk. Guy probably evolved himself to just memorise the whole textbook by looking at it once."
Yaoyorozu frowned. "That is not how it works."
I smirked. "You sound upset."
"I am not upset."
"You sound upset," Jiro repeated.
Yaoyorozu sighed, rubbing her temple. "I simply do not understand how someone who does not take studying seriously is outranking me."
I shrugged. "Sucks to suck."
She inhaled sharply. "You are insufferable."
"You are just mad because I am better than you at something you actually care about."
"Mark my words, Midoriya. I will obliterate you in the finals."
"You make it sound like a blood feud."
"Because it is."
She huffed and went back to her textbook.
Meanwhile, the rest of the class was dealing with their own problems.
Kirishima groaned. "Man, how are we supposed to study with everything that has been going on?"
Sero flipped through a practice test. "Yeah, seriously. First, it was internships, then Stain, then all the media stuff, and now—bam! Exams."
Tokoyami sighed. "Such is life."
Uraraka rolled her eyes at them, "Only Ryuu had to deal with everything you just listed, and he is still the top of the class, you know that right?"
Kaminari tapped his pencil against his desk. "I mean, it is not like we actually need to ace these, right? We just gotta pass."
Iida snapped his head toward him. "That is the bare minimum mindset! We should strive to do our best!"
Kaminari groaned. "Man, my best is like, sixty percent."
Jiro looked at him. "That is not good."
"It is passing!"
Bakugo scoffed from across the room. "Tch. You sound fucking proud of being stupid."
Kaminari waved him off. "Whatever, man. At least I am not over here pretending to be the smartest guy in the room."
Bakugo glared. "The fuck does that mean?"
"It means I bet your dumbass has been studying in secret so you don't fail."
Bakugo clicked his tongue. "Like hell I need to study."
"That is a yes," Sero muttered.
Mina rested her chin on her desk. "We should just make Yaoyorozu teach us everything."
Yaoyorozu straightened up. "I already made study guides for everyone."
I stretched. "Already memorized it."
She scowled at me again.
Hagakure flipped through her notes. "Wait, wait, does anyone actually know what happens if we fail?"
Iida pushed up his glasses. "If you fail the written portion, you take remedial classes. If you fail the practical exam, you do not go to the training camp."
That got everyone's attention.
"Wait, what?" Uraraka sat up. "I thought the training camp was part of school!"
"It is," Iida said. "But U.A. has high standards. If you do not meet them, you do not get the privilege of participating."
Mineta paled. "Oh no."
Shoji looked at him. "You are definitely failing."
Mineta grabbed his head. "But I need to go! That is the perfect opportunity to—"
Shoji smacked him upside the head.
I exhaled. "Look, just study. Or cheat. I do not care."
Iida gasped. "You cannot encourage that!"
I turned to Kaminari. "Want my notes?"
"Yes."
Iida sputtered. "No!"
I tossed my notebook at Kaminari. "Do not let me down."
He flipped through it. "Holy shit, you actually write like a normal person."
Yaoyorozu looked over. "Let me see."
Kaminari handed her the notebook. She skimmed through a few pages, then frowned. "This is… actually quite well-organized."
Izuku smirked. "Told you. Secret nerd."
She closed the notebook and handed it back. "Still does not explain why you refuse to take notes in class."
"I do not need to."
She glared. "I hate you."
"That is fair."
The classroom door slid open, and Aizawa walked in, looking as half-dead as usual. "Alright, shut up. Exams start next week. If you fail, do not come crying to me."
Mineta raised his hand. "Will we get a chance to retake—"
"No."
Mineta deflated.
Aizawa continued. "Your written exam will be standard. Multiple-choice, short answer, essays. Do not be idiots."
Kaminari groaned. "But I am an idiot."
"Then fail quietly."
Sero snickered, "That's the nicest way anyone's ever told Kaminari to shut up."
Jiro agreed with a snort, "Yeah, let's see if he actually follows that advice."
Kaminari glared at both, "Man, I am feeling so attacked right now."
Aizawa sighed. "Your practical exam will not be announced until the day of."
Yaoyorozu frowned. "Should we be preparing for combat or rescue?"
"Yes."
She sighed.
Aizawa stretched. "That is all. Study or don't. It is your future."
He walked out.
Sero leaned back. "Man, our teacher does not give a shit."
"Because he knows half of you are not worth saving," I said.
"Wow," Kaminari muttered.
Yaoyorozu stood up, arms crossed, staring straight at me. "As Class President, it is your duty to assist others. I suggest we form a study group, and as the number one student, you will help us all."
I stared back. "Nuh uh."
She narrowed her eyes. "Yeah-huh."
"Nuh uh."
"Yeah-huh."
"Nuh uh."
"Yeah-huh."
"Nuh uh."
"Yeah-huh."
"Nuh uh."
"Yeah-huh."
I exhaled. "Fine, but you have to help too. You are Number Two and Vice Prez."
She smiled. "Agreed. But you are never calling me Number Two again."
"Deal."
Kaminari leaned forward. "So, when are we doing this? Because I need to cram like my life depends on it."
"Because it does," Jiro muttered.
Yaoyorozu ignored them. "Tomorrow after class we can go to my house. Anyone who actually cares about passing should be there."
Bakugo clicked his tongue. "Tch. Waste of time."
"Cool," I said. "Do not show up, then."
He scowled but did not argue.
Mineta raised his hand. "Uh, are we gonna have, like, snacks?"
Shoji flicked his forehead.
Yaoyorozu nodded. "I will provide materials and reference sheets."
Kirishima grinned. "Man, you guys really balance each other out. Ryuu is too lazy to organize, and Yaoyorozu would run this like a military drill if left alone."
"I am not lazy," I said.
"You are," Todoroki said.
I ignored him. "I just believe in efficiency."
"That is a fancy way to say lazy," Sero said.
Yaoyorozu clapped her hands. "Alright, study group is set. Now, back to whatever you were all doing before panicking."
Kaminari groaned. "Yeah, that was failing."
Jiro looked at my notebook. "Are you actually going to help, or are you just going to sit there and insult people?"
"Yes."
She sighed. "Great."
The next day, we all went to Yaoyorozu's house.
Calling it a house felt wrong. This was a goddamn mansion. The gates alone were twice of most of us, and the driveway looked like it could fit a whole ass parade. The main building had fancy pillars, huge windows, and some expensive-looking fountain out front. The kind of place that screamed, "Old money."
"Rich people," Kaminari muttered.
Yaoyorozu gestured for us to follow. "Come in."
Inside was just as ridiculous. The floors were polished enough to see our reflections, and the ceiling was high enough to fit a second house. There was a grand staircase, paintings on the walls, and furniture that looked too expensive to actually sit on.
Kirishima whistled. "Man, your place is huge."
Mineta was already looking around. "Where's the maid—Ow!" Shoji flicked his forehead.
Yaoyorozu ignored them and led us to a massive study room. Bookshelves lined the walls, and there was a long table in the center with enough space for everyone. The chairs looked comfier than couches at home.
She clapped her hands. "Everything we need is here. I have textbooks, reference materials, and extra notebooks if anyone forgot theirs."
I dropped into a chair. "Cool. Who's actually planning to study?"
"All of us," she said.
"Debatable."
Bakugo sat at the far end, arms crossed. "Tch. I am here to make sure you don't suck."
Iida adjusted his glasses. "You will not pass without effort, Bakugo."
"Fuck off, Glasses."
Kaminari slumped into a chair. "Alright, someone smart, teach me shit."
Yaoyorozu exhaled. "We will start with the subjects people struggle with most. What does everyone need help in?"
"Math," Uraraka said immediately.
"Science," Kirishima added.
"Everything," Kaminari admitted.
Mineta leaned forward. "Biology, but specifically—"
"Stop talking," Jiro said.
Yaoyorozu nodded. "Alright. We will begin with math. Midoriya, you explain the first section."
Izuku looked up. "Huh?"
Yaoyorozu rolled her eyes. "Not you. Smart one."
Izuku flailed his arms. "I am smart! I am ranked fifth!"
She brutally ignored him. "I only acknowledge those that surpass me."
Kaminari snickered. "Damn, she said 'know your place' without saying it."
Jiro tapped her pencil on the table. "Hurry up, Midoriya. Explain the math before Kaminari's brain short-circuits for real."
Kaminari leaned back. "Listen, I never claimed to be a genius. I just want to pass."
Yaoyorozu gestured at me. "Midoriya, start from the quadratic functions."
I exhaled. "Fine. Quadratics. Basically, if your equation has x² in it, congratulations, you are dealing with one. You solve it by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula. If none of that makes sense to you, you are doomed."
Kirishima furrowed his brows. "The formula thing—what was it again?"
"Negative b plus or minus the square root of b squared minus four a c, all over two a."
Kaminari blinked. "What the hell did you just say?"
Iida adjusted his glasses. "That is the quadratic formula. It allows you to find the roots of a quadratic equation when factoring is not possible."
"Yeah, yeah," I waved him off. "That. If you forget it, just google it. Or pray."
Yaoyorozu sighed. "You are supposed to explain, not tell them to rely on divine intervention."
Izuku snickered as he looked at me.
"Don't," I said.
He just chuckled. "Let it out, brother."
Mina looked between us. "Let what out?"
Izuku smiled. "Alongside being a major secret nerd, Ryuu is actually a very good teacher. But he's acting tough."
I rolled my eyes. "Alright, dumbasses, listen up."
Yaoyorozu crossed her arms. "Do not start with an insult."
"Fine. Congratulations, you all have functioning brains. Let's see if you can use them."
I grabbed a marker and wrote a random quadratic equation on the board. "Who knows how to solve this?"
Silence.
Kaminari blinked. "Bro, that's a math spell."
"No, this is basic high school algebra," I said. "If your equation has x² in it, it is a quadratic. And the solutions? Either you factor it, use the quadratic formula."
Kaminari recoiled. "The hell did you just summon?"
Yaoyorozu sighed. "That is the quadratic formula."
"And it's your best friend if the numbers are ugly." I pointed at the board. "But I don't like ugly, so let's solve this the easy way."
I instantly broke the equation apart in two simple steps, circled the answers, and leaned back. Explaining step by step, in detail that would fill a book.
Dead silence.
Mina's jaw dropped. "Wait. Wait, wait, wait. What the hell just happened?"
Jiro blinked. "Did you just do that in your head?"
I shrugged. "Yeah? It's not hard if you stop panicking and actually look at the pattern."
Kaminari leaned forward. "Dude, you solved it before my brain even finished loading."
I pointed at him. "That's because your brain is still running Windows XP."
The class snickered.
Uraraka tilted her head. "Wait, so you can just… see the answers?"
"Not see. Understand." I tapped my temple. "Math is a game. You learn the rules, you win faster. Now, let's see if any of you can keep up."
I pointed at Kaminari. "Solve this one."
His face paled. "Bro, I just learned this ten seconds ago!"
"Good. That means it's fresh."
Kaminari squinted at the board, muttering under his breath. His pencil scratched the paper at record slow speed while the whole class stared at him like he was a lab experiment.
After thirty seconds, he put the pencil down. "Uhh… x equals… three?"
I checked.
He actually got it right.
I leaned back. "Damn. You actually did it."
Mina threw her arms up. "Holy crap! Kaminari did math!"
Kirishima clapped his shoulder. "Man, you looked like you were fighting for your life, but you pulled through!"
Jiro nodded. "Okay, that was kinda impressive."
Sero leaned forward. "Alright, but let's say I completely zone out during the test. How do I fake knowing this?"
I smirked. "Ah, you want the cheater's guide."
Yaoyorozu gasped. "We do not encourage guessing!"
"Relax, it's not guessing—it's strategic probability." I leaned on the desk. "Worst case, you forget everything. Your best bet? Eliminate bad answers. If the equation looks like it should factor cleanly, don't pick some ugly decimal. If all the choices are negative, don't pick the only positive one. Math teachers love trick questions, so play defense."
Hagakure tilted her head. "Wait… that actually works?"
"Not every time," I said. "But it's better than picking random numbers like an idiot."
Mineta sighed. "Man, I was hoping for a cheat code."
"There is one. It's called studying."
Yaoyorozu sighed. "I hate that you are actually good at this."
Kaminari threw his arms up. "Okay, Ryuu is low-key a genius. Who knew?"
Iida adjusted his glasses. "A structured mind produces structured results."
I stretched. "Nah, I just hate wasting time. If you understand the core of something, you don't need to memorize a million steps."
Jiro sighed. "Alright, what's next?"
Yaoyorozu flipped through her notes. "We will continue with physics after a break."
Mineta perked up. "Food break? Call Maids!"
Shoji smacked him.
Yaoyorozu sighed. "Yes, there will be food."
Mina grinned. "Nice. Let's eat before our brains melt."
I closed my notebook. "Yeah, and then we can deal with physics."
Jiro groaned. "Ugh. Can't we just quit while we're ahead?"
"Nope," I said. "Suffering continues after snacks."
The class groaned, but no one argued.
