13 Chapter 13: Apprehension Test?

What an ordeal! Not only did I have to wake up early, wear the school uniform with a tie, but I have to look for my class in this vast school.

I just hoped that I won't get into the wrong class. Though, I may recognise some of the students here whom I saw in T.V.

Yes, there are some sports events for the students, which most of the citizen were interested to see. You can call it, Quirk Sports, as they are allowed to use their quirk.

"Lee!"

A voice called me as I was looking for my class.

Turning my head, I saw a redheaded pretty girl with teal eyes, and good shape.

"Itsuka" Finally someone I recognise.

"I see; you are here," she said, "congratulation for the first place, by the way."

"Thanks. You did well as well." Though I didn't look at the ranks of the others.

I only nodded as she approached, seeing that I'm holding a paper.

"Are you looking for something?"

Nodding, I said, "Do you know where I can find Class One B."

I could see her open her eyes before smirking. Turning, she said, "We are at the same class, follow me."

Well, that was good to hear.

"The teacher has yet to arrive. If we walk quickly, you won't get marked late."

She started to walk and I followed behind her. Ladies first.

"I don't think it would matter."

I shrugged my shoulder and looked at her from the back. She didn't look like the fighter I saw yesterday who just broke the robots with that fist. Just an elegant girl who you wouldn't relate to a fighter. But that was the case for most heroines today.

You can't trust looks here, I guess.

Very soon, we arrived at my class.

"Find your seat. Vlad King would arrive soon."

"Vlad king!" that was known hero in Japan.

She gestured with her hand as she went to the first table.

"Thanks."

After thanking her, I looked around, at my classmates.

I knew one person. Momoma Neito. He had given me the first impression that it was almost impossible to forget. Geez, I had just thought him as a creep before I knew that he was just surprised that he couldn't copy my supposed 'Quirk'.

He was now talking with a short girl, 150 cm, a blonde whose hair was quite long, with big blue eyes, and had two long horns. She was foreign for sure, given her face, and that Neito was whispering while she just nodded without looking to understand.

Neito, who had that trolling smile on his face, stopped whispering as soon as he saw me and stood up.

"Hey, how about the rest of the lesson!" In English, The blonde girl with horns said. "You didn't complete that sentence. I want to learn how to meet people."

"Later, Pony, I'll teach you how to say nice words."

He then turned me and walked, extending his hand, for a handshake. "Oh, Lee Angel, what a happy surprise to see you. Thinking about you caused my sleepless nights. I think there is a trick here."

I frowned and dodged his hand. "Someone may pick up the wrong idea and think that we are dating."

"I'm just thinking that this time I'll be able to copy your quirk."

Unlike the last time, his facial expressions were cockier and it was teasing.

"Give me a break; if you are desperate for a man, touch someone else. I'm only interested in girls."

I was being sarcastic. He tried to touch me again. But Star Platinum pushed him to the side as I walked to the end of the class.

"I'll remember that."

Neito seemed to stop acting like that as soon as he saw Itsuka clenching her teeth in front of him.

I noticed my classmates, some just gave me glances while others were just minding their own business.

There were faces I could recognize, but also some I didn't know. There was a guy whose face looked like insect, and he was tall and skinny.

There was that guy with no lips. His hair was silver spiky, and since his teeth were all visible, I couldn't tell if he was smiling or frowning. That was some side effect of his quirk maybe.

A silly question hit me, how can drink juice from bottles, or suck milk as a child. I had some pity for him, he will never know what it feels to…Why I would care anyway. I just walked and observed the rest.

There were more two black haired girls whom I think that I didn't see at the test. Two good looking. One of them looked to be calm and barely had any emotion, while the other seemed to have a cheerful smile and opened a chat with someone on her first day.

I guess they got here through recommendation. Most of the recommended students had a strong background, like a high-class rich family, or, their parents own some heroic agency, and they have to have some influence.

Sighing, I decided to pick up the last seat.

I guess I still don't find my comfort with people with Quirks, unless I fight them, of course.

Each one had his table and seat.

I put my bag next to a Chinese looking guy and silver-haired girl, who seemed to be calmly observing.

The guy had a lightly tanned skin and black hair, reaching roughly down to his shoulders, which he wears in a low braid. He was of average height, around 170 cm, His eyes were tight, and he just stared at me when I picked up my seat. His built seemed of a martial artist.

The silver-haired girl was just looking forward, seemed to mind absent, her hands on the table stretched forward.

She has chin-length, pale grey hair, parted to the right, hanging down over her eye and obscuring the majority of the left side of her face. Her blue eyes had a dark bag underneath them, and her mouth was small, with full lips. Her height was of the average girl, around 165 cm, and she had a good shape.

Weird, how can anyone seat like that. She may look prettier if she just took a normal posture.

But my fifteen years living here had taught me that quirks can sometimes affect the personality.

I just sat down and observed the people who tried to interact with each other while waiting for the home teacher to arrive.

"Hey, aren't you," the Chinese guy next to me opened the conversation, "The one who destroyed Zero Pointer and got number one in the test."

"Yes. Aren't you the person with green scales?"

I just nodded as I remembered him – I destroyed one of the robots before he had a chance.

It seems that I have to get used to classmates with quirks now.

"I'm Hiryu Rin."

"Lee."

"sounds Chinese."

"Not even that close."

I just nodded and Rin found the silence weird that he didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, from the door, a tall man entered, possibly two meters tall. All of the class stopped talking and paid attention to him.

He had a spiky silver hair, a muscled bulky body, the kind that makes you wonder how does he workout, and he was wearing a red costume with yellow glasses covering his eyes.

This one was a known hero, I saw him on TV once. His hero name should be Vlad King. Also known as Blood Hero.

"Welcome young folk, future heroes that if you lived to see that" he made his way to the board, hand on hip, and scanned us one by one with his eyes. "I'm your home teacher, Sekijiro Kan; I hope we can make this work."

Was he talking while posing at us?

He introduced himself and made some speech of how will he turn us from weak persons to reliable heroes in the future.

'Well, that's some pain for sure.' I thought. I guess I would use this sentence more often.

Still, it looked better than your average high school.

"Go to the locker room, change your clothes, and we'll meet outside. I'll have to test you personally."

"Test?"

"Yes, apprehension test. Do you think that the entrance exam was final? Now, go!"

He then left the room, expecting us to follow.

I then went with the rest to the male locker room to change, to a gym uniform. It was blue, with white lines stretching from the shirt to the pants, forming two big letters of UA. After that, we went to a big field next to the school building.

I wondered what kind of test is waiting us.
