After Bakugou runs out of the room, the ambiance turns dreary, once again leaving the girls and M***** confused. Moments later, however, Aizawa enters and proceeds with class as usual. The school day ends fairly quickly, everyone's attention not quite fully on any of the actual studies, and Aizawa asks the boys, excluding the grape, to stay for a bit longer.

After the rest of the class is waved off, Aizawa brings the boys to the teachers' lounge. The boys quietly find a place to sit or stand around the room and look at their teacher, who seats himself in a chair across from the couch. Arms folded, Aizawa looks at them all with a measuring gaze.

Some of the more nervous students fidget a bit under their teacher's eyes, and Kaminari finds himself gnawing on his lip.

"What happened?" Aizawa asks suddenly, and everyone knows what he is asking about.

Iida steps forward with his arms at his sides and speaks dutifully. "Mr. Aizawa, as the class president, I believe I should give you the account of what happened." Aizawa nods, and Iida continues, "Bakugou-kun and Kirishima-kun arrived to the locker rooms as most of us were almost done dressing ourselves for training. M***** was finished dressing and decided to remark that...that Bakugou-kun has a feminine figure." Aizawa grits his teeth but does not comment. "Kaminari-kun also remarked the same thing, and Bakugou-kun had frozen just after M***** began the...conversation. That was when M***** ran from the room, expecting Bakugou-kun to attack, but Bakugou broke down into his panic attack. We did not realize what was happening until Todoroki-kun spoke up about it."

Aizawa closes his eyes and leans back in his chair for a moment, taking a measured breath. His eyes open again, and he looks up at the ceiling. "I see. Thank you, Iida." Iida nods and steps back to where he had originally been standing by the back of the couch. "Now," the teacher begins, eyes tracing the students and landing on a guilty-looking Kaminari, "I suppose I'll tell you all a little bit of information so that you understand the situation before getting to punishments for those who deserve them." Kaminari averts his downcast eyes from his teacher and nods slightly in acceptance. "Firstly, I want you all to understand that I am working with a detective to find the perpetrators who attacked—"

"Perpetrators?" Midoriya asks, his head snapping up to look at his teacher, face paling. "As in plural?"

The other students tense and look to their teacher for a response. Aizawa's gaze hardens, and he says, "Yes, Midoriya. He was assaulted by more than one person."

"✨Oh no. C'est terrible!✨" Aoyama remarks sadly, sparkle slightly dimmed.

"Yes. He has agreed to work with the detective, luckily, so I hope to find them soon and bring them to justice. I also wanted to tell you all that I expect you to be there for Bakugou, though do not be overbearing. He is having a stressful time right now, and, knowing him, I am sure he does not want to be looked at any differently. I know that is very difficult to abide by, knowing all this happened, but I expect you to do your best as future heroes. What I have explained is just about the extent of what I know, so I won't be able to answer much else." The students nod along with their teacher as he speaks. "Now, I believe I mentioned that there are some punishments that must be doled out."

Kaminari looks at Aizawa with accepting and guilt-filled eyes. "Me, first. Right, Sensei?" he asks nervously.

Aizawa nods his head seriously. "However, I first want to hear why you said what you said."

Kaminari looks surprised, but replies, "Well, I was just trying to tease him a bit, like a friend. It...I didn't want it to actually hurt him or anything, and I didn't expect..." he trails off, gnawing on his lip again as he looks at his hands that fiddle nervously with the hem of his shirt in his lap, his hair slightly frizzed as static electricity grows from his nerves.

"I see. That's what I suspected." The teacher looks at the boy appraisingly. "Kaminari, you are not going to be expelled because I am aware that you had good intentions and do not have a record for such bad behavior."

Kaminari looks up at his teacher hopefully, but still has guilt gleaming in his slightly watery eyes. "But I still made him—"

"Yes, I am aware," Aizawa interrupts the blonde. "You will still have your fair share of punishment for your part. You will be on house arrest for a week, cleaning duty for two, and you must make a formal letter apologizing to Bakugou aside from a verbal one. Both must be delivered privately."

Kaminari nods in acceptance, wiping away the tears that try to fall from his eyes. He looks up at his teacher and sits up straighter, replying, "Yes, Sensei."

With one last glance at Kaminari, Aizawa looks around the room. A devious glint enters Aizawa's eyes and he grins his terrifying grin, making the class shiver. "Lastly, I must address what M*****'s punishment will be. He has been behaving like this for a very long time, even sexually harassing our female students here, and I believe that the principal will agree with me that causing another student's trauma-related panic attack pushes his actions over the edge of barely allowed and into unacceptable. I will personally request for his expulsion because of his past actions and pushing a student into a panic attack."

Most of the class is slightly surprised, but nobody can say they are not happy about the punishment for their grape classmate-soon-to-not-be-classmate. "Yes, Sensei," Iida responds with a small grin that he tries to wipe off his own face, as it is unprofessional in such circumstances. "His behavior has been ridiculous."

Aizawa nods. "That's all I needed to tell you all. You are dismissed."

The boys filter out of the room after saying goodbye to their teacher, and Aizawa stays in his seat for a moment longer before standing, his expression turning serious. He finally leaves the room, door closing silently behind him. He has something to talk to Nezu about.
