Chapter 49 - Mission Impossible

Iida looked at him who was sitting with a very straight posture and nodded. He knew that Brando was waiting for him to tell everyone that the morning's homeroom was about to begin. He was happy that he was entrusted by him with this task and he couldn't let him down. He walked to the podium and said to everyone, "Everyone! Morning's homeroom is about to begin! Please sit down in your seat!"

"You're the only one who is standing here!" Sero said.

"Why are you the one who tells us? Why not Brando?" Kaminari asked.

Iida adjusted his glasses and said, "Brando-kun has entrusted me with this task, he has thought that I'm suitable to do this job in his place."

"....."

Everyone was speechless and turned their eyes toward him who was sitting while crossing his arms with a straight posture.

Satou who sat beside him looking at him didn't blink his eyes for a while, 'Is it my imagination?'

Momo felt complicated right now whether she needed to report him or not but she knew that he had fooled the eyes of 19 students in this class. She wanted to know whether the pro hero could notice that he was sleeping.

Midoriya who saw him couldn't help but felt strange when he saw him, 'Is he sleeping?' He shook his head and thought that there was no way.

"Good morning."

Suddenly Aizawa entered the class and his hand was bandaged.

"You're back already, Aizawa-sensei!? What an undeniable hero!" Everyone turned their attention toward him.

"Glad to see you doing well, Sensei!" Iida said.

"I wonder whether you can call that doing well...." Uraraka sighed. She looked at him and was a bit envious since he had won quite a lot of money from that singing competition. She wanted to talk to him but the class started and thought that it was better to talk later during a break.

"My condition isn't important, because there is something more important now," Aizawa said.

"What is it?"

"Don't tell me...."

"More villains?!"

Aizawa looked at everyone and said, "U.A.'s sports festival is fast approaching!"

"....."

"THAT'S TOTALLY ORDINARY!!!"

"Is it really okay? We just had that villain attack. You sure about this?!"

Everyone was a bit worried since they had just had their first fight with a group of villains.

"What are you afraid of? You should take Brando as an example who joined a singing competition the day after we were attacked by a group of villains," Aizawa said.

"......"

They were speechless when they heard it, 'Really? Class Prez? Singing competition? Right, the day that was attacked by the villains?' They were wondering whether their minds were too weak.

"You guys are heroes, having an attack from villains once or twice is normal," Aizawa said, looking at him and asking, "What do you think, Brando?"

'UWAAAAA!!!' Momo, who heard that his name was called, suddenly became panicked. She wanted to wake him up but suddenly she saw his head moving.

Aizawa nodded, "So you agree, huh?"

"...."

Momo was speechless and her heart was beating very fast. She was glad that this sleep eye mask could even fool the pro hero. She also wondered whether he was loved by the goodness of luck since he suddenly dropped his head and gave Aizawa a nod.

"Anyway, it's necessary to demonstrate that the U.S.'s crisis management protocols are sound, that's the thinking apparently," Aizawa explained and continued, "Compared to the past few years, there'll be five times the police presence."

"Anyhow, our sports festival is the greatest opportunity you will get, it's not an event that can be canceled over a few villains," Aizawa said.

Mineta frowned and said, "Huh? Isn't this just a normal sports festival? Isn't it just a stupid school festival?" He didn't think there was anything special about this sports festival.

Midoriya, who sat in front of him, couldn't help but turn, "Mineta, don't tell me that you've never seen a U.A. sports festival?"

"Of course, I have. That's not what I mean...." Mineta said.

Aizawa didn't think much about their opinion and continued with his explanation, "Our sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events!"

"The Olympics were one of the world's sports festivals. The whole country would be whipped into a frenzy over them. But as you know, that tradition has shrunk in scale to the shell of its former shelf and as far as Japan's concern about what's taken its place at the Olympics is the U.A. sports festival!" Aizawa said.

Momo had calmed herself and said, "The nation's top heroes will all be watching, right? They'll be there as scouts!" Momo said.

"They'll be looking to hire us as sidekicks after we graduate. That's how it's done," Kaminari said.

"A lot of those sidekicks never manage to go solo. They're sidekicks forever," Jiro said, and added, "That will be you forever, Kaminari."

"Naturally, you will be able to gain valuable experience and popularity if you're picked by a big-name hero," Aizawa said and added, "But your time is limited, show the pros of what you're made of here, and you'll make futures for yourselves."

"This happens once a year so you've got only three chances if you're hoping to become one, this is an event that you can't miss!"

Everyone became serious when they heard him. They knew that it was their chance to appeal to themselves in front of everyone.

"That's all and I hope that you won't waste this chance," Aizawa said and started the lesson.

The lesson continued until it was time for a break.

Momo looked at Brando who had been sleeping for the entire class without even getting noticed by the teacher and everyone. She had to admit that his new sleep eye mask was really powerful. She suddenly saw him wake up and yawned.

Brando felt better after he had been sleeping. He could see that everyone was excited about something.

"Dio-san!" Momo was annoyed when she had just seen him wake up.

"......"
