2 Chapter 2:Quirks
My hands are shaking as I'm changing into the jumpsuit. I can feel the sweat roll down my forehead. What if I embarrass myself in front of everyone? What if people laugh at my quirk? There were some people with really powerful quirks. "Breathe, girl, breathe"I mutter to myself quietly.
"Hello!"says a loud, high pitched voice. I stumble back, almost falling, but I regain my balance. I look at the source of the voice. It's the girl from the entrance exam. The one who almost got beat up by the robot. The one Izuku saved.
"Oh hi."I say.
"Oops, sorry if I scared you. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ochako Uraraka."
"Oh it's ok. I'm F/N L/N. Nice to meet you." I say, smiling at her. We walk outside together, meeting up with the the rest of our class.
"A quirk assessment test?"everybody says.
"But orientation, we're gonna miss it."says Ochako.
"If you really wanna make the big leagues you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies,"our teacher says. "Here at UA we're not tethered to traditions. That means I get to run my class however I see fit." Damn this guy is scary.
"You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives. But you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel."
Ok that's not how I viewed it. I always thought it was good our quirks weren't allowed in physical tests. I mean I wouldn't want other people to feel insecure or hate me or themselves just because I have a powerful quirk or because their quirk isn't as strong as other's.
"It's not rational,"he continues. "One day the ministry of education will learn. Bakugou, you managed to get the most points on the entrance exam."he turns to the blond guy from earlier. Yeah because he kept threatening everyone and yelling at people to move.
"What was your farthest distance throw with the softball when you were in junior high?"
"67 meters, I think"he responds
"Right. Try throwing it with your quirk." Mr.Aizawa tells him.
Bakugou walks up to the circle and our teacher hands him a ball. Mr.Aizawa tells him he can do anything as long as he stands in the circle.
"Hurry up, you're wasting our time."he says
"Alright man you asked for it."Bakugou says. He positions himself, ready to throw it.
"HAH DIEEEEE"he yells, throwing it hard. Wow this guy has some issues.
"All of you need to know your maximum capabilities," Mr.Aizawa says. "It's the most rational way to figure out your potential as a pro hero." He shows the height Bakugou threw the ball in the air. 705.2 METERS?! My classmates are just as shocked as I am. This guy might be a a$$hole, but he's strong. Everybody went after that. Ochako got infinity and I honestly don't know how to deal with that information.
"Wow Ochako. Your quirk is amazing."I tell her.
"Oh please it's nothing. I feel like I cheated because that shouldn't be possible."she says, blushing.
"No you did exactly what Mr.Aizawa told you too. You threw the ball with your quirk."
"I guess that's true. What's your quirk? I bet it's cool, too."
"I can send powerful vibrations through the earth that can cause earthquakes or tremors. I can also send powerful blasts of vibrations from my hands at someone."
"Wow, that sounds so cool!"she says
"Yeah, but if I use my powers too much, I get tired. And I used to not be able to control them so I would cause earthquakes without wanting to. I can control it now, but I'm still scared I'll lose control."I say, looking at my hands.
"Aww I'm sorry. But you can control them now, so I'm sure there is nothing to worry about."she says, looking at me with a hopeful smile.
"I guess that's true."
"L/N It's your turn. Stand in the circle."my teacher says to me. I walk up to him and take the ball from his hand, feeling nervous. I stand in the circle. Oh gosh, I'm totally gonna embarrass myself.
"Ok...throw."he says. I take a deep breathe and calm myself down. "It's ok, just relax." I tell myself. I throw it with all my might, causing the earth to rumble a bit. I open my eyes that were closed shut. Everybody is staring at me. Even Ochako. Oh no, I definitely messed up.
"710.9 meters. Good."my teacher says.
"Wait, really?"I say.
"Did you cause the earth to rumble, L/N?"Izuku asks me.
"Um yeah I guess I did."I say walking back to my spot next to Ochako.
"Wow your quirk must be really strong, then."Kirishima says. I turn to him and smile.
"I hope it wasn't too strong." I say, laughing nervously.
"No it was really cool."Izuku tells me.
"Thanks."I say smiling. I glance at Bakugou, his eyes look like they're about to pop out of his head and I swear I can see steam coming from his ears. I quickly face forward.
~Later that Day~
I look down at my phone, reading the texts my mom sent me.
Mom
Hi Honey. I hope you had a good first day of school. I wish I could pick you up and talk about it. But I'm stuck at work and your dad got hurt at work. Sorry that you have to walk home. I love you and I'll be home as soon as possible.
Great. I have to walk home and my poor dad is hurt. And my mom has to stay at work longer. It's fine. My house isn't that far anyway. I'll just walk with Isla. Her mom doesn't know how to drive so she always walked home with me or went with me and my mom. Or dad. Whoever was picking me up that day. Her dad died when she was 6, so he's not here.
"Hey, where's your mom?"she says, walking up to me.
"She's stuck at work and my dad got hurt so we have to walk. Sorry."
"It's fine I never minded walking anyway. So how was your day?"she asks me.
"Oh it was great. I met a nice gi-"
"Move it or I'll blast you all the way to hell."says a sharp, harsh voice, cutting me off. I look behind me and there stands Bakugou. His face is pure fury.
"Don't tell me what to do, sparky!"I bark back. "Seriously, cool off."
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY TO ME?"he screams. He looks like he wants to murder me, but I don't care. I'm not scared of this hot headed brat. "Wait. You're the girl who scored higher than me in the softball throw."
"Yeah I am."
"You must think you're better than me, huh?"
"Hm maybe. Guess we'll find out."I say crossing my arms.
"I SCORED THE HIGHEST ON THE ENTRANCE EXAM SO YOU BETTER WATCH IT!"
"Listen here, sparky. You might be used to just shoving people around and getting what you want. But let me tell you this. You don't get to boss me around."I snap at him. "You're just a short tempered spoiled brat who needs to be put in their place."He glares at me. He looks like he really wants to punch me, but he doesn't.
"Be careful with what you call me, tremors."he says, putting his face closer to mine. He's slightly taller than me so he has to look down a bit. He glares at me for a minute and I glare back. Finally, he walks away from me.
"I'm gonna enjoy crushing you."he says, smirking. But one that says "I'm gonna kill you in your sleep so sleep with one eye open." I roll my eyes at him as he turns the corner.
"He's such a b*itch."
"Man, that guy is scary."Isla says. "But he's kind of hot."
I look at her with the most disgusted look I have ever given anyone. She's smiling at me and I think I'm gonna hurl.
"Are you insane? He's an a$$!"
"Yes he is. I know that. But he's a hot one and I think you caught his eye"she says smirking.
"Oh hell no. He's a jerk who's full of himself."I say as we walk. "I would never be with someone like him."
~With Bakugou~
Bakugou takes his phone out from his pocket, scrolling through social media. "That little girl doesn't know what she just did"he says to himself. "I'm gonna kill her."
