Support Department Studio

With a tired voice, Aizawa called up two more people.

Without saying a word, Sora walked up to the starting line and Mirio approached as well. He would glance at Sora every now and then as he took this run seriously.

Sora on the other hand appeared rather relaxed and he got ready to run as well. Yet unlike what everyone was thinking or saw, Sora's body is always in a state of action.

"Go!"

The instant Aizawa's voice came out, Sora disappeared from his spot. Everyone could hardly react at Sora's explosive speed.

In the next second, everyone had weird looks on their faces as they focused on the second figure, Mirio.

He slipped through the floor but his clothes remained behind.

In less than a second, Sora appeared at the finish line. A seconds later, Mirio appeared as he came jumping out of the ground.

"HaHA!"

With a triumphant laugh, Mirio announced his presence as he appeared of the ground.

Naked.

"Kyaaah!"

"Oh my god!"

"My eyes!!"

Not feeling too ashamed of his appearance, Mirio simply walked over to his clothes and wore them.

The guys looked at Mirio strangely and the girls averted their eyes. Some were dating and peeked between their fingers as they covered their faces.

Sora on the other hand curiously turned to look at Nejire, wondering what she was doing and found her talking with Aizawa, asking him questions.

"What a curious girl," muttered Sora as he turned his gaze away.

…

Like that, the tests continued and everyone revealed what they could do.

Sora dominated the number one spot with his outrageous strength and flexibility. Some of the other students were close to beating him thanks to their quirks.

However, some of the other students were obviously not as good. They were falling far behind and there were a couple others who weren't too flexible with the use of their quirk.

"You're not fit to be a hero, you're expelled."

Suddenly, Aizawa walked up to a student, whose score was the lowest and showed the least potential.

Aizawa wasn't loud, but everyone heard his words clearly. They couldn't believe it.

At first, everyone believed that Aizawa was joking. They simply believed he would give three person in last place a punishment or something similar like a suspension.

Yet now they knew that this teacher of theirs is strict.

"I-!"

"Home."

The boy wanted to speak up but was quickly cut off by Aizawa's serious tone.

Feeling everyone's gaze on him, the boy simply lowered his head and walked away in shame.

After a moment of silence, Aizawa finished looking at some papers and raised his head. His tired eyes looked at everyone but lingered on Sora for a moment.

"Everyone's scores have met the criteria, some more than others. Now, it is time to get things moving," Aizawa said as he dragged the class back to their classroom.

In the classroom, Aizawa didn't say much.

"As everyone has seen, I do not like to play around. Do your best to become a hero and you won't have to worry about a thing," Aizawa said in a lethargic tone. "Class dismissed."

Everyone quietly gathered their belongings before heading home.

The only ones staying behind were Sora and Nejire. Mirio and Tamaki knew the boy that was just expelled and left quickly to go see how he was doing.

"Are you not heading home, Sora?" Nejire asked curiously as she looked at Sora sitting."

Sora smiled and shook his head.

He grabbed his stuff and looked at Nejire whose gaze was studying him.

"I'm going to the support department and see if I can build something."

Nejire smiled at Sora's words, her interest piqued at whatever Sora has planned to do.

Leaving the room, Nejire followed behind Sora with a smile on her cheerful face.

She watched as he led the way and ran into Aizawa, their homeroom teacher.

"Mr. Shota, I request permission to head to the Support Department and make use of their facilities to build a support item," Sora requested.

Aizawa looked at Sora, his eyes tired.

"I'll see what I can do," Aizawa mumbled, leading the way to the support department.

Sora and Nejire followed.

Usually, Aizawa wouldn't agree to a student's request but he was impressed with Sora. His strength was remarkable and he could tell that Sora had trained arduously to reach such a level. Even with just a support quirk that didn't aid in fighting, Sora's ability was clearly above the other students.

The only regrettable thing was Sora's lack of technique.

If possible, he'd like to guide Sora in that direction or even train him himself.

Aizawa cut his thoughts there as he finally saw the person he was looking for.

Excavation Hero: Power Loader

Real name Majima Higari.

"Power Loader, I have a student here who is requesting to use your studio," Aizawa said as he gestured towards Sora behind him.

"Hm? This is unusual of you Eraser Head," Power Loader joked as he glanced at Sora through the gaps of his hero costumes head piece that is in the shape of an excavator claw.

Power Loader smiled after thinking for a moment.

"Why not, this is the first time you've asked me for something."

Agreeing to Sora's request, Power Loader continued talking.

"I'll stay and keep watch and make sure he doesn't hurt himself."

"Then I'll take my leave now," Aizawa said as he turned around to look at Sora. "Don't cause any trouble."

Having said that, Aizawa walked away.

"How about you girly, are you going to build something too?" Power Loader asked as he turned to look at Nejire.

"Yeah!"

Nejire smiled and nodded.

"I want to see how it's like! How those from support help out heroes."

Power Loader nodded at what Nejire said.

"Let's get going then, we don't have much time left of the day," Power Loader explained as he led the way to his classroom.

Upon seeing the interior of Power Loader's class, Nejire was astounded. The inside was really large, filled with all sorts of equipment and items. There were even some vehicles and more surprisingly were the robots from the Entrance Exam.

Nejire turned her head and off to the side, she found many racks and special containers with a large amount of hero costumes and unfinished support items in them. The number was higher than a thousand and it showed just how much those from the Support Department worked.

"The equipment is all over there, if you need any chemicals or need to view something under a microscope, there's a science lab over in the northeast corner if the room," Power Loader explained as he showed Sora all the various tools and special crafting equipment of his.

From simple screwdrivers all the way to blow torches and hydro cutting machines.

"This is amazing," Nejire sighed in amazement.

"Yeah."

Power Loader stood there with his hunched back as he looked at his creations with a smile. A couple of seconds pass before he turned to look at Nejire.

"Are you not going to join your little friend?"

It wasn't until Nejire heard Power Loader's reminder that she recalled that she came here to see what Sora is going to do.

Curious, she turned to look to her side only to find that Sora had wandered off already.

She looked around and found Sora looking inside various cabinets as he searched for many materials and items he needed.

Approaching him from behind, Nejire saw Sora holding a large amount of metallic pieces in hand. She went to stand by his side and was going to ask him something but stopped.

Her royal blue eyes locked into Sora's golden eyes and she could see that he was serious in what he was doing. She stood by the side curiously, looking at him work.

Her eyes were glued to every item and thing he did.

It wasn't too boring.

Nejire felt like she was learning as she watched Sora with as she occasionally heard him mumbled to himself.

From what she could hear, Sora had just come up with a new energy source with the potency to power an entire city and was theoretically limitless.

How a 14-15 year old managed to discover something so amazing, Nejire didn't know but was astounded by the intellect Sora has.

Looking around, Nejire wondered what she could build.

She didn't have any actual skills in building since she's never done it, but she does have a pretty good amount of knowledge about building.

Her family is rich and their quirks are strong like hers, allowing them to produce heroes. Nejire's family is quite well known and people believed she looked down on them because of her questions and her family.

Smiling, Nejire walked away from Sora with a skip in her steps, showing her happy nature.

She wandered around, collecting various items and began to randomly piece them together. She connected wires and screwed the bolts on tightly.

After an hour, she finally stopped.

"Ah! Finally~!"

Taking a step back, Nejire looked at her 'artwork' with a proud expression on her face.

She looked at the head of her precious robot project and smiled.

"What a cute puppy," Nejire said as she looked at the small and adorable head of a puppy. Although metallic, Nejire had her way with adding details and made the robotic puppy head appear lifelike despite the lack of muscles and fur.

Mm~!

Nejire nodded happily.

Clang!

"WHAT IS THAT?!"

A voice full of horror erupted from behind Nejire, and she turned her body back in surprise.

"Power Loader Sensei!"

Nejire looked at Power Loader with a small frown.

"What kind of abomination did you build?!"

Power Loader remained shocked, not even taking note of Nejire's small disposal of anger.

What had fully grasped his attention was the cute puppy.

No.

An abomination.

It has the head of a puppy, but it's body was large like that of a bear's, and for its hands, instead of bear paws to accompany the large bear body and arms, was hands.

WTF!

This was Power Loader's first thought when he laid eyes upon the robot that Nejire made.

"Why… why does it look like that?" Power Loader asked, raising his hand slowly and pointing with his metal covered finger at the robot.

"Like what?"

Nejire looked at Power Loader confused for a second before realizing what he meant. She smiled mischievously and answered.

"This is my pet, Kuro. He needed to be strong in order to defend himself, so I gave him the body of a bear. To grab onto items and use them, I gave him hands. In order to make him look cute, I gave it's head the appearance of a puppy."

Power Loader's lips twitched at Nejire's words.

He turned his head away from Nejire and looked at the weird beast she created.

"As a robot, this… dog? would still be strong even without the bear body," Power Loader explained as he approached the beast Nejire built and slowly dismantled some parts.

Nejire remained quiet and watched as Power Loader pulled piece by piece from the puppy head's body.

Under Power Loader's hands, the beast's body was reduced in size leaving behind a small puppy.

"Thank you, Sensei!"

Nejire grabbed the puppy robot and looked at it closely.

Power Loader nodded his head in response to Nejire's thank you.

Dzzdz!

Suddenly, the lights in Power Loader's Support Studio began to flicker, causing Power Loader to look up stunned.

Nejire looked up as well, curious as to what was happening.

'What's happening? This shouldn't be possible,' thought Power Loaders as he thought to himself.

U.A. Highschool has its own power generator, a powerful one as well. It was designed by the Principal of U.A. and built by Power Loader himself. He knew just how strong the power generator is.

Dzdzzz!

Bang!

The lights flickered once more and soon, the sound of a small explosion was heard.

"That came from over there," Nejire said, looking at the direction where Sora is.

Without waiting for Power Loader to say anything, Nejire moved and looked for Sora. She felt worried about her new friend, hoping nothing had happened to him.

Yet what awaited her was a terrible scene.

A gory scene.

She found Sora's body laid across the floor in front of a strange machine that was all torn apart. Smoke came out of the machine and a strange ring was glowing with a red light at the center of it.

Nejire's eyes however didn't notice it as she was too focused looking at Sora's body all torn apart.

His face was bloody and unrecognizable, his right arm was blown off and somewhere in the area, his left leg was missing, his right leg was twisted and broken, and his stomach was blown apart.

"SORA!"
