Equal asshole opportunity Vlad
He continues to claim he’s an amazing teacher while allowing his students to do whatever. Kendo smacks those she feels are being rowdy, Monoma is loud and keeps saying wtf stuff as 1A, Tetsutetsu is ignoring the rules to be manly, but Vlad keeps going on about how great of a teacher he is. He won't stop even with evidence showing he's fucked up a lot of the time is given to him. As far as he's concerned everything is fine, no reason to worry.
He's still better then Eraserhead. He has a full class of students and none break bones all the time (nevermind Bakugou in this AU got expelled after the sports festival for attacking an opponent after the match and Mineta was expelled for harassment. Never mind Midoriya is a late bloomer.)
Vlad is just so damn confident he's the best because Aizawa has had issues in the past with the school board while Vlad never has. He's always had full classes graduate to be heroes (nevermind most never move past sidekick or they get in a lot of trouble the first few years because Vlad encourages unhealthy forms of competition and training. Nevermind Aizawa has recently been forced to go to therapy and has slowly changed from the heavily depressed and exhausted man he was after his husband nearly left and he nearly lost his job). His kids better show 1A they're better. They are, and they're going to train like they are even if they fall over.
It comes crashing down in this AU for Vlad when one of his students has enough of the encouragement of the competition and the hellish training, and goes to Nezu to complain. Nezu is surprised and looks into it, having trusted Vlad to do the same ‘medium well job’ as Nezu would term it. He's been trying to entice a friend to work at UA but they're busy and need more bribes.
Nezu puts Vlad on probation as does he strip the class rep title from Kendo and shove Monoma into therapy along with Testutetsu. Later Vlad is fired as Nezu’s friend steps in to take over.
