Expelled? I Don't Think So

"I want to try too," said Bakugo Katsuki as he stepped out of the queue, following the voice he heard.

"Bakugo... you want to try? The whole test will begin soon, you can wait until your turn then," said Aizawa Shota, looking at Bakugo Katsuki.

"I want to try it now!" Bakugo Katsuki replied immediately, meeting Aizawa's cold gaze with his own.

"Tch..." He glanced at Renault and then walked back to the queue.

Renault had a rough idea of why Bakugo Katsuki was hostile toward him. Bakugo Katsuki was probably the type who had been proud of his natural talent since he was young, and now he wanted to surpass Renault in all aspects to prove that he was the top student. Renault thought, 'It seems like an unnecessary problem, then so be it. If it's just a challenge in this kind of thing, then I don't mind.'

As he thought, Renault returned to the queue and saw Midoriya Izuku looking panicked. It seemed that he was afraid of not doing well in the test because of his Quirk, which was too powerful and could cause serious injuries if not used carefully.

"Alright, everyone sits down and prepare for the test. We will start soon," said Aizawa Shota, exciting everyone.

"We can use our Quirks freely? No wonder it's the Hero Department"

"It sounds fun!"

As the students spoke randomly, a smile gradually appeared on Aizawa Shota's face. Especially after glancing at the silent Midoriya Izuku, he spoke up, "Is it fun? Are you all prepared to face the next three years at U.A. with this kind of attitude? Then, I will consider the person with the lowest total score in all eight categories to be without potential and subject to expulsion."

"!!!"

Everyone except for Renault was shocked, with Midoriya Izuku's expression being the most serious. Is someone really going to be expelled on the first day of school?

Everyone began to feel the cruelty of studying in the U.A. and immediately began to prepare themselves.

Five minutes later, the test began.

There were eight test items: baseball throw, standing long jump, 50-meter dash, endurance run, grip strength, side-step, sit-ups, and sit-and-reach.

Although they seemed like ordinary tests, don't forget that they could use their Quirks now. Therefore, tests like the standing long jump and 50-meter dash could easily break the world record for the ordinary human. For example, Renault used 2.87 seconds for the 50-meter dash, while Iida Tenya, whose Quirk was Engine, used 3.04 seconds.

After crossing the finish line almost at the same time as Iida Tenya, Renault looked at him, exhaled, and said with a smile, "It seems like your Quirk is restricted in the 50-meter dash. If it were a 100-meter dash, you would have overtaken me."

"You can't calculate it that way. After all, my Quirk mainly emphasizes speed, and you don't." Looking at the rows of exhaust pipes on his calves, which were still releasing heat, Iida Tenya said, "U.A. is really amazing. You can see all kinds of Quirks here. It seems that I can truly make progress here."

He's really a serious person.

Among all the people, there was one person that caught Renault's attention, Aoyama Yuga, who had a unique ability to shoot laser beams from his belly button. When he stood at the starting line 50 meters away, he was facing away, but as soon as the race began, he leaped up and shot a laser beam from his belly button, propelling him toward the finish line.

At first, Renault didn't think much of him, but after the first laser beam shot out, Aoyama Yuga didn't go very far before the beam stopped and he tumbled to the ground. He then shot out another beam and finally reached the finish line.

"This...," said Iida Tenya beside him. "It seems that he can't maintain his laser for too long."

"I think so too," Renault nodded, observing Aoyama Yuga calmly standing in place. "If he shoots for more than a second, he will get an upset stomach."

Renault couldn't think of any other words to describe Aoyama Yuga's ability, other than "cool."

As the tests went on one by one, only one person performed poorly, and that was Midoriya Izuku. Perhaps because he always injured himself when using his Quirk, he didn't use it during the tests, so there was no doubt that his results were at the bottom.

Finally, they arrived at the last test, which was the softball throw. Renault threw the ball again, and the result was almost the same as his first attempt.

Immediately following him was Bakugo Katsuki, who looked cold and emotionless as he put all his strength into throwing the ball.

"Die!"

With a loud explosion, the ball was thrown out, but the result was only 712 meters, which was much lower than Renault's.

"Tch..." Bakugo Katsuki could never be satisfied with his own performance, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only walk away with a cold expression on his face.

During the test, the other boys also got to know Renault. A red-haired, behavior-hardened boy named Kirishima Eijiro patted Renault's shoulder and said, "Looks like you're the first in this test."

Renault shook his head and looked at the brown-haired girl, Uraraka Ochaco, who was already holding the ball and walking out and said, "I should be second. She should be first."

"Huh? Uraraka?" The boys were puzzled, but soon they saw the ball thrown by Uraraka Ochaco flying into the sky.

As Aizawa Shota announces her result... it was infinity.

After admiring Uraraka Ochaco's joyful face, Renault said, "Some Quirks have amazing effects in specific areas."

Everyone nodded. The weight of the softball was not much, so it was not a burden for Uraraka Ochaco. She had achieved an infinite score, which was nothing special.

Next up was Midoriya Izuku.

"Renault." At this point, Yaoyorozu Momo walked over and stood beside Renault, saying, "Midoriya Izuku's quirk..."

"He's scared." Renault said directly, "He's afraid that his Quirk will be like it was before, afraid that he won't be acknowledged, afraid that he'll be expelled after finally getting into U.A. Because of that, he's afraid to use his Quirk."

"Do you think he'll be expelled?"

Renault shook his head and looked at Aizawa Shota who was watching Midoriya Izuku and said, "Even if he's the last in this round, Midoriya won't be expelled for the time being, as it's only the first day. In addition, his performance in the previous exam was good, so he can't be expelled directly. But his score in teacher Aizawa's mind will definitely drop sharply. If he doesn't change it, he may really have to leave by the end of this semester."

"I think so too. Although he has a strong Quirk, he cannot become a Pro Hero if he cannot control it. It's up to him now."

Momo Yaoyorozu nodded and stopped talking, her eyes fixed on Midoriya Izuku, who had already clenched the softball.
