Chapter 18: Quirk Apprehension Test

- Sports Ground – U.A. - 20 minutes later.

It took twenty minutes for Class 1.A. to find the U.A. Sports Ground with the friendly help of a teacher who had nothing to do with their own.

It seems like something like this happens every year, so the school's principal, Nezu, sends a helping hand there every year so the students won't all be expelled once again for not coming to the Sports Ground even though they didn't even know where it was.

Yes, this happened the second year Aizawa took the job as a teacher, and since then, Nezu has sent an extra teacher there every year.

Funnily, Aizawa isn't even supposed to do that test on their first day.

Anyway, it was now 20 minutes later, and every new student from 1.A. stood in front of a grumpy-looking man who just explained what test they would do now.

After one of the students said it would be fun, the teacher instantly dashed this statement and said that the last one on the rank list would be expelled.

'Is he for real? I will never be last place, considering my Devil Fruit is too versatile, but still… I don't even want to know how many would-be heroes he expelled from this school and ultimately from their dreams. If you are expelled from the Hero course of the U.A., there is no way any other Hero school would take you in.' Izuku thought to himself, somewhat complicated when he saw Aizawa staring at him with an irked look.

'What is this guy's problem? We didn't even meet until now, did we?' Izuku thought.

He had already seen that look from his former teachers and never expected it to get in this school also. 

Even now, with a strong quirk, he would get stared at like that.

'Maybe I was never quirkless? I definitely have a passive provocation quirk. There is no way so many people are constantly against me. It makes absolutely no sense,' Izuku thought while someone slowly approached him from the side.

"Hello!! You are the boy from the test before! Thank you for rescuing me from the one Pointer in the entrance exam! It was so cool when you went so wishhh and then wushhh and the Robot suddenly flew away. It was sooo awesome. By the way, my name is Ochako Uraraka. My quirk is zero gravity. Everything I touch with my five fingers will lose gravity." A brown-haired girl whom Izuku remembered from his entrance exam spoke to him excitedly, waving around with her hand.

"Uraraka-san, was it? It is also lovely to meet you. Don't worry about the exam. Every Hero would do what I have done." Izuku said lightly, surprising even himself that he talked with someone else as Nejire without stuttering. 'Maybe Nejire was right. She was really training me. I got better!'

Unknowingly to Izuku, he once again gained an angry look from the blue-haired boy from the entrance exam, but this time, the boy also looked a bit ashamed. He knew Izuku was right. 'If it weren't a test, I would have done the same!!'

Before they could go any further, Aizawa started to glare at them and slowly followed with some threatening words.

"If you are here to make friends, please leave," Aizawa said before throwing a ball at Katsuki.

"Now that we are finally done, Katsuki, you were the real first place in the entrance exam. How far could you throw the ball in middle school?" Aizawa asked, gaining some curious looks from the other students.

"Real first?" Izuku muttered while tilting his head at his teacher.

"60m," Katsuki said simply, smiling at his teacher. He really liked that one, He thought to himself.

"Okay. Now throw it with your quirk like I already told you before."

Without further ado, Katsuki threw the ball with a loud 'DIE' scream.

When the ball finally landed, Aizawa held up his phone screen for the class to see, and on the screen was a score that shocked many of the other students.

'705.2 meters'

"Now. Let's decide your usefulness." He said with a weird, creeping-looking smile before the tests officially started with a 50-meter Dash.

...…

50-Meter Dash -

To the shock of the class, Izuku didn't even need a second before clearing the Dash.

"Well, this is certainly my area of expertise," Izuku said. Katsuki, who had just finished behind him, glared at him with hatred. At the same time, a black-haired girl with jacks hanging down her ears looked at Izuku with wonder.

'His quirk looks so similar to him...' She thought to herself, deciding to watch the boy some more.

Izuku – First Place.

...…

Standing Long Jump -

Considering he was out of light, Izuku could, without problem, stand in the air for a short amount of time, so he did that and flew himself to first place in this category also.

'There is no way!! ' the black-haired girl thought to herself while watching the green-haired boy fly around.

...…

Ball Throw -

Failing to control his power, Izuku exploded the ball itself, giving him a score of zero.

The other students didn't even bother to be shocked anymore. 

Someone could only shock them so often until it became routine, and everyone had already decided that Izuku was a monster.

...…

Repeated Side Steps -

The same principle applies. Izuku was out of light and could move really fast. Considering that the Repeated Side Steps test only lasted two minutes, Izuku could finish it even without sweating.

Once again, he could give himself the first place, even beating a small purple-haired boy who could bounce around with his quirk.

...…

Grip Strength

This time, Izuku didn't have enough imagination and just used his normal power, showing 460kg on his hand-held device, bringing him to third place under a big boy with extra hands and a tall black-haired girl who created a press with her quirk.

...…

In the three remaining tests, Izuku also showed his highly trained body, landing him in first and second places. 

The tests were distance run, seated toe-touch, and sit-ups.

He even gained first place in the seated toe-touch by bending himself in his logia form.

'I am a genius,' thought Izuku narcissistically when he came to this idea.

He even gained a weird look from Aizawa when he got first place in the distance run since he thought that the boy hadn't trained once in his life, considering that he would be exhausted from using his quirk for only minutes in the entrance exam.

"Well, anyway, here are the test results, and like I said, the last place will be expelled," Aizawa said before showing the scoreboard from the tests.

"So, Izuku Midoriya, pack your things. You have been expelled from the Hero course of the U.A. school," Aizawa said with a smile.

"EHHH?!" Izuku and his classmates exclaimed at the same time. Even Katsuki looked weirded out.
