12 Surprises Abound!

"Hmm?" As I walked back over to meet with the rest of my classmates, Setsuna started roaming around my body.

She poked and prodded at my muscles with a thoughtful look on her face as she commented, "Now, where do you keep all that power in this compact little body of yours..."

"Little?! Is everyone smaller than All Might little to you, or do you just not recognize the height difference between us?" I snorted.

"Honestly, I also can't see how you have that much power. I mean, all you did was glow slightly red and you used what looked like a solid steel greatsword as a bat effortlessly," Tsuyu added.

"My greatness can not be fathomed by your puny mortal minds..." I said, with the tone of a stereotypical villain. All I was missing was a signature evil laugh.

"Enough of that, problem child," Aizawa groaned to get our attention. "The rest of you, can start coming up one by one so I can record your scores."

Everything that followed was more or less what I expected. Uraraka curb stomped everyone's score, mine included, by casting her softball out of orbit. Momo conjured a literal canon to shoot her softball less than a hundred meters away from mine. Inasa used hurricane force winds to launch his ball 900 meters away; but that was tangential to the pitching field. Had he the control to send his ball along a straight path like I'd done, he probably would have doubled my distance.

And those were all the extraordinary scores for the softball pitch. The others… though not as impressive, where still amusing to watch. Todoroki for instance, shot his softball with an ice pillar over 500 meters away. Yanagi, the poltergeist girl, used her weak telekinesis to carry the ball 450 meters before the strain of range got to her. And Camie… God bless her soul, she actually did something I never saw coming.

"What an absolute madlad," I started cackling as everyone looked at me in confusion. Whether they were confused about my outburst or how Camie managed to score so highly, I didn't care, I just stared at the approaching fawn-haired trickster and asked, "When did you cast your illusion over us? I didn't even notice until your score was announced."

"Glamour comes from my breath, so like carbon dioxide, it's practically invisible until I will it into different forms," Camie explained.

In a rare instance of intelligence, Kaminari questioned, "Wait, so you're Quirk just lets you use Illusions? Doesn't that mean you'd have had to walk past the throwing circle to get three hundred meters?"

"I didn't see her walk past the throwing circle," I said, whilst looking the other way and whistling.

"Me neither," Aizawa played along after Kaminari shifted his gaze.

It was truly the most creative way she could have used her Quirk to get such an extraordinary score.

...

The fifty meter dash was just as amusing as the ball toss, in my opinion. Though I couldn't make use of a warp point to cheese the event, subsequent teleportation proved to be just as cheatsy as I double — no, triple — dunked on Katsuki's score of 4.13 seconds with my own of 0.77 seconds.

Surprisingly, or not, Inasa got the second highest score after launching himself with all the wind he could summon at 2.52 seconds and he was followed by Iida, Honenuki, and Momo in that order.

As for the grip strength test… that's when I started getting truly surprised. Though, not when I cheesed through that test as I'd done all the others; Stage 8 Commando strength made it hard not to break most things when I tried really, really hard to break them. Needless to say, I ruined one of the grip strength testing devices.

No, what truly surprised me was Itsuku matching me feat for feat as she squished her own testing device in between her right thumb and forefinger; like she was squishing a toasted marshmallow.

Then, Yui Kodai, the girl whose Quirk could change the size of nonliving objects, flipped the challenge over its head when she enlarged her testing device large enough to fit her whole body into it and pushed. She didn't break the machine, but she was the second person after Momo, who created a literal hydraulic press, to register a "grip strength" that exceeded the testing device's calculable range.

"Some of these girls are fucking terrifying," I muttered under my breath.

"Amen to that, brother," Kaminari nodded sagely.

Moving on to the standing long jump, more than half our class managed to cross the pit, so even the extraordinary performances were par for the course as far as the Quirk Apprehension Test was concerned.

For the repeated side steps, no one really had a Quirk suited to improve their middle school level scores by any heroic stretch of the imagination; well, aside from me, but that was just me exploiting the fact that I could teleport indefinitely between set small distances without negative consequences.

After that we had a short five minute break before Aizawa was back on our asses, forcing us to complete as many laps in half an hour, around the track field, as we could for our long distance running test.

At first, I'll admit that it was fun indulging myself in the suffering of those without as much stamina as I. But after a while, I grew bored and struck gold with a most fabulous idea.

'Synergist,' Nothing gave away the fact that I had switched from my Commando Paradigm.

I looked around and saw Camie, Kaminari, and Toru struggling the most.

'Haste,' I casted three times and smirked as the three of them shot like they'd been injected with ungodly amounts of caffeine.

Then, I saw Iida, Inasa, and Momo cruising along due to the usefulness of their Quirks, given the nature of the test, and I couldn't help but flash a mischievous smile as I changed Paradigms once again.

'Saboteur, Slowga…'

Immediately, it was like I'd tossed them out of the trackfield and into a muddy swamp.

"Pffff—Hahaha," I laughed at their priceless expressions.

"Izuku, why have you done this?!" Momo yelled from across the field. She had been tricked, she had been backstabbed, and quite possibly, she had been bamboozled; she and the two boy's both.

"Midoriya, have you seriously stooped so low as to engage in sabotage during a sanctioned school test?!"

Only Inasa refrained from commenting as he tried to up his Whirlwind's output to compensate for the newfound resistance. That in and of itself was worth my respect.

"Don't hate the player, hate the game, kiddos. I didn't come up with the rule that allowed me to use my Quirk in whatever way I deemed beneficial," I said, still cracking up as they shifted their attention to Aizawa.

"Oi, don't look at me like that, now. None of you said a word when Bakugo was blasting explosions in his partner's face during the fifty meter dash."

Before all this transmigration nonsense, the character of Aizawa would say or do things that made him my favorite in the series. This will be going into my memory bank of moments that add to his charm.

Iida and Momo would remain annoyed with me throughout the rest of the test as I kept their debuffs active with additional casts of Slowga. Camie, Kaminari, and Hagakure on the other hand, looked at me like the benevolent kind person I was... to them, anyways.

Then, we had a test for upper body conditioning and, with me being the insufferable brat I could be at times, I decided everyone should get a ridiculously high score. I spared no expense to cast Bravery and every single person in my class and with the additional strength, even the lowest scoring person still managed to complete a hundred full push ups, pull ups, and sit ups.

"Ay, first place. Why am I not surprised?" I asked no one in particular.

Setsuna, thought, took it personal as she responded, "Maybe because you and your bullshit Quirk are perfect, tsk." She actually clicked her tongue.

"Aww, you think I'm perfect? Keep talking like that and I'll start thinking that you're flirting with me."

Her eyes narrowed on me, but she didn't retort. Also, was she… blushing? Nah, that couldn't be it; it wasn't her character to get flustered.

"Perhaps you're not perfect as a person, but there's no denying that your Quirk was the best suited for these kinds of tests, and, well… most tests, really," Momo said with a sigh.

"Are you still mad that I slowed you down? It's not like the effects of it did anything to change your overall positions," I said, talking about her and the other two who finished in second, third, and fourth place, after me.

"That doesn't make it any less frustrating, seeing as it did affect how many more laps you finished ahead of us!"

Touche.
