The rest of the tests went quite predictably. Killua won a good bit of them, along with losing a couple, but he didn't mind much.

He pretty much relied on his own body strength for all the others as well as holding back quite a bit. For things such as the grip strength test, he could have completely crushed the device if he wanted, but it was best not go too hard. He still had to make it look like he was working pretty hard otherwise Aizawa was definitely the type to get annoyed at lazy behavior.

Long jump, side jumps, push-ups, sit-ups, vertical jump, and a few others passed by with the students using their works creatively to pass. One he noticed in particular was that Yaoyoruzo girl who could create items out of her bare skin. She didn't really seem to have much limits on what she could create and he would have to ask her about it later since he was very curious.

One interesting part had to be when they were doing the seated toe touch and Killua could literally put his forehead to the floor since his muscle control and flexibility made such a task easy. After all, flexibility training was just as important as strength, and as a child he would be stretched to the point of breaking to achieve what he had today. Just another type on the long list of things he had been subjected to during his young life...

Over the course of a few hours, they performed several tests

"Hey Eraserc- I mean Aizawa sensei, weren't we only supposed to have homeroom for an hour?" Killua said with a small grin intentionally messing it up

The aformentioned man only shrugged "It's orientation day, what are you going to do, learn each others name and say your favorite color?" he scoffed looking back towards his clipboard "You will have the other core classes tommorow though" he followed up much to the disappointment of the others

They went back to a muted silence watching the last person finishing up the exercise as they reached the end of the tests

"So your quirk only works as you keep the person in your view right?" Killua commented surprising the man a little

"I see you are quite perspective, that's a good thing for the future when discovering your opponents quirk" Aizawa grudgingly praised as he turned towards the rest of the students

"The most important thing when fighting a villain is to first know what their abilities are.

You never want to just rush in underestimating your opponent. That's how many heroes have died in the past" he added grimly before gathering everyone around him holding a small hologram device

"I compiled all the scores and ranked you accordingly, you should already have an idea of where you are..." he said pressing a button as a blue screen appeared in front of everyone

Killua scanned over the list quickly taking in the data noticing two things. He got first followed closely by Yaoyoruzo, Todoroki, and Bakugo, and the person who got last happened to be MIdoriya

'Ouch, touch luck' he thought not exactly saddened by this relevation as he turned to the ashen boy looking like he had just seen a ghost

"Luckily, I was messing with you all on the last person getting expelled part so you would work harder" Aizawa said with a small smile pleased at the mental suffering he had caused which made the students jaws drop

"Now go whatever class period you were supposed to have now" he said with a lazy expression looking at his watch which showed school ended in like 30 minutes

"If they ask, just tell them homeroom ran a bit late..." Grabbing his sleeping bag, the man walked away likely to find somewhere nice to sleep leaving 20 students awkwardly standing on the practice field

"..."

"...."

I like this teachers style...

"Aizawa I see you are the homeroom teacher for that Killua boy" spoke a strange hybrid animal in a suit looking towards the Eraser hero with an intelligent look

"Yeah" the hero said confused wondering why he had been called here by the principal for this

"I want you to keep a close eye on him, something tells me that there is more to him than meets the eyes" Nezu spoke causing the man to narrow his eyes "You want me to spy on him? Why" he asked not fond of this idea

"Just a hunch, I can't find anything about him past a year ago, and the more I look into it, the more things that don't add up.

We couldn't find any family members, and the records say they died when he was young.

The rest of it is just inconsistency after inconsistency, and I don't think he is who he truly says" Nezu explained as Aizawa mentally reviewed all he knew about Killua going back to the first meeting, and performance at the entrance exam.

The kid was incredibly strong for his age, and Aizawa could almost say with certainty that he would be a top 10 hero in the future maybe even reaching all-might's potential if his performance so far said anything.

His personality didn't seem too bad either seemingly playful most of the time, but serious when it mattered. He was also quite friendly to his classmates, even if he didn't take initiative to start conversations that much. At the entrance exam, the boy although annoying, had showed many exceptional hero qualities.

At many times when he could of gotten more points, he instead chose to help others often blocking an attack for someone else, or moving them out of danger if they overestimated themselves against the solid metal robots attacks.

Especially the part they had made a mistake as the planners since that girl had almost died because of the rubble. He had jumped in selflessly saving her at the risk of his own life.

The camera, before the dust covered the scene, showed him jumping straight into the heat of it. Eventually after the dust cleared, it showed him on the other side carrying her completely unscathed. Despite the childish nicknames, Aizawa genuinally began to respect the boy. In fact, if he had to ask what student he had taught with the most potential, he would already say Killua despite having only had him for one day because of everything he had seen.

His control over his quirk was astronomical obviously practiced from a young age. He had seen the boy emit electricity from any part of his body using it to enhance speed and power, as well as using it for electricity based attacks.

This combination was quite rare, and perfect to become a hero giving him many options for attacking and defending. Aizawa couldn't find anything amiss except... his mind went back to the conversation earlier today

"Yeah-Wait what do you mean by resistance" kaminari spoke confused as Aizawa vaguely listened from the side "The pain of getting electrocuted of course" came an almost cheerful voice like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Aizawa looked over to see the white haired kid he had met both on the streets, and at the entrance exam. The kid seemed almost have an lazy attitude during the tests, and Aizawa was already planning a way to convey later that although he was talented, it would be nothing if he didn't work hard.

After those previous words however, the eraser hero was looking at Killua with all his attention not sure if he had just heard right

"Are you saying you aren't immune to your own electricity" Kaminari had yelled in shock which drew the attention of several of the other students

The kid looked annoyed, but he still answered "Not really" he had replied as warnings went off in Aizawa's mind 'That kid had millions of voltage running through his body. How could you even survive if you weren't immune' Aizawa thought first hoping to think it was just a joke. Kaminari then asked how he would use it when he wasn't immune, and Aizawa also wanted to know the answer to that question

Then came the reply that had him shook, the kid looked at the ground and Aizawa could see the darkness hidden in those normally cheerful blue eyes. "You get used to it after a long period of training" the kid said quietly and Aizawa believed him. Those eyes said everything, telling their own story of a childhood filled with pain and suffering.

Before Aizawa could say anything, like he flicked a switch, Killua returned to his cheerful self giving a reassuring smile to those that had overheard "It's not important anymore, I barely feel it" the kid spoke which comforted the others who had previously been quite concerned.

Meanwhile Aizawa looked at him even more critically narrowing tired eyes 'He's lying I know it' was the thought that came to mind. Even though the kid showed no outward signs of lying at all, it was like a gut feeling that he had come to rely on in his long career of work.

As much as that conversation had concerned him, nothing else happened the rest of the day. On the few tests where Killua used his quirk, Aizawa didn't even notice him flinch as the electricity danced around him.

Aizawa didn't even know what to think anymore as he second guessed his previous assumptions not sure what to believe.

He decided not to tell Nezu about this since it would only create unfounded suspicion although if this was true, it could be a major key to his background.

"Here look at this" the principal said directing his attention towards a moniter from the entrance exam.

It was after they had released the boss robot, and almost immediately after the video started, Midoriya had jumped up punching it as scrap of robot went everywhere.

The robot pieces and rubble from the buildings it hit started to fall heading straight towards a girl on the ground which he recognized as Uraraka.

The boy had jumped in to save her, but dust soon covered the camera so they couldn't see what really happened from that view, and they had gotten most of the info for it from eyewitnesses.

Nezu looked at him seriously "This is one of the hidden cameras that I chose not to show the staff earlier. It would be best to prevent others from hearing about this" he warned as the screen switched to a street level view that Aizawa didn't even know was there.

Different from the previous aerial view, it was almost like they were a part of the action as Aizawa watched tensely as the destruction moved down at a very slow rate since the video had been switched to around 100 times slower than normal.

In the other video, it had been obscured quite early on, but this time, he watched with tension as Killua picked her up and Nezu fast forwarded a few times reaching a point where the rubble was almost right on top of them. 'They are way too slow' was Aizawa's first thought as the rubble was only a couple feet above them. Even though he already knew the outcome, it was still nerve wracking to watch how close to death the pair came.

Electricity covered the boy flashing very quickly around him hardly impaired by the slowed down frame rate of the video. Still, they didn't move as Nezu zoomed in on the video. The first thing he noticed was how calm Killua's eyes were. While Uraraka's were clutched tightly in fear, he looked completely indifferent like the tens of tons of crashing debree above him was just dust.

If Aizawa blinked he would have missed it. Killua suddenly shot off moving past the flying debree quickly past the camera looking much faster than even Tenya Lida going around full drive with his leg engines Aizawa compared with surprise missing an important fact before he had a sudden realization.... The video had been slowed down times 100

"This-" he was cut off "yes" the mouse responded "He was just recorded at mach 2" the principal spoke as a tense silence spread over the office

"What do we do about this?" the eraser hero questioned at a loss for words

"Nothing yet. By all means, he could be the greatest hero this era has ever seen, but this raises the concern what if he chose the wrong side? For now we should just do our best to guide him on the right path while learning more about him. It could be some sort of ultimate move, but the implications of this is still frightening." The mouse spoke

"I don't think he has any malicious intentions, but we should still be cautious. We really don't have enough information to made a conclusion. We need to talk to Killua about it when the time is right. For now, just carry on as normal."

Aizawa had a conflicted expression on his face, but he eventually nodded "Alright I will keep an eye on him..."

___________________________________

The next day rolled around giving them a much better experience of U.A. After homeroom, they had core classes which were quite boring. Having a hero teach you ELA with fake enthusiasm didn't make the subject any more interesting contrary to popular belief back at his old school. At least lunch was better than the typical school which was a bonus.

Eventually, they got to the class everyone had been waiting for which was hero basic training at the end of the day. "Oi Killua, who do you think is going to be our teacher?" the blond Kaminari said standing near him filled with excitement "I don't know, probably one of the staff here" Killua said with a shrug as the class talked excitedly.

"I wonder who it's going to be" said the Fiery red head named Kirishima said curiously

"Maybe Midnight" the purple haired Mineta spoke dreamily taking sneaky looks towards Momo who was about one row back and to the left of him

Slow, yet powerful footsteps were heard as everyone's attention was directed towards the door with wary expressions. A few people standing hurriedly sat down in their seats waiting as the ground beneath their feet trembled with each step.

The tension was palpable as the footsteps stopped right outside the door.

Some people began holding their breath as the door swung open and the massive frame of a familiar hero filled the door

"I Am Here!"
