14 Quirk Assessment

As soon as everyone reached the field, Aizawa said, "We will do your quirk assessment test."

""A quirk assessment test?"" All the students asked in unison.

Then Ochako spoke about what's on everyone's mind: "What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?"

"If you are going to become a hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events. The U.S.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are. That is also how the teachers run their classes." He paused for a bit, looking at us, and continued "You kids have been doing these since junior high too, right?" Observing us, he continued speaking. "Physical fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your quirks," he sighed. "The country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their quirks. It's not rational. Well, the Ministry of Education is procrastinating." He looked at Bakugo and said, "Bakugo, you finished at the top of the practical exam, right?"

"Ah"

"In junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?"

"67 meters," Bakugo replied.

"Then try doing it with your quirk. You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle," Aizawa said by showing him the circle. Bakugo walked over, took the ball from Aizawa, and stood in the circle, getting impatient to sleep. Aizawa spoke to him, "Hurry up. Give it your all."

When Bakugo heard that, he spoke to himself, "Well then..." and winded his right and way back and screamed, "DIIIIIEEEEEEE." with an explosion at the end of the throw.

Looking at the measuring device, Aizawa said, "Know your maximum first. This is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero." And showed the results to us.

"705.2 meters? Seriously?" Denki asked no one in particular.

Mina, the ever-energetic girl, spoke, "What's this? It looks fun!"

"We can use our quirks as much as we want! As expected of the hero course." Said Hanta Sero.

Hearing all this, Aizawa spoke, spoiling all the dreams of the students. "It looks fun," huh?. You have three years to become a hero. Will you have an attitude like that the whole time?" *Evil grin*

"Alright, whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential and will be punished with expulsion."

""" Huh? """

"We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students. Welcome to U.A.'s hero course." *Grin*

Hearing everything he said, Ochako spoke again. "Last place will be expelled? But it's the first day of school! No, even if it wasn't the first day of school, this is too unfair."

"Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains.

Calamities whose time or place can't be predicted.

Japan is covered with unfairness. Heroes are the ones who reverse those situations. If you wanted to go talk with your friends at Mickey D's after school, too bad.

For the next three years, the U.S. will do all it can to give you one hardship after another.

Go Beyond. Plus Ultra." He said that he taunted all of us with his index finger, making all the students excited for their coming years, and said, "Overcome it with all you've got.

Alright, the demonstration is over. The real thing starts now."

After that, we started to do the test; the first one was a 50-meter dash. I was paired up with Momo for all the tests, so when our turn came, we got ready. Momo created skating shoes and a jetpack. I don't know, but something will help her propel herself forward. As soon as the machine buzzed, we both ran at the same time. I reached first with four seconds as my timing, and Momo got right behind me with a one-second difference.

Next was grip strength. I squeezed it the right amount, and it showed 544.311 kg, while Momo just created a bench vise and crushed the measuring device.

Then it was a standing long jump, which I cleared with ease. After that, it was a repeated sidestep, which too was an easy part.

After that came the ball throw, right before mine was Izuku, and he was tensed. I can see that from his body language.

As he set foot in the circle, Iida spoke, "It doesn't look good for Midoriya if he continues like this."

"Huh? Of course not. He's a quirkless small fry, you know."Bakugo, who was right beside him, retorted.

" Quirkless?! Are you not aware of what he did in the entrance exam?"

"Huh?" Before Bakugo could ask what he meant by that, Midoriya tried to throw the ball with 100% of One For All, but Aizawa stopped him by using his quirk and berated him for a whole minute. After that, he told him to go at it again.

This time he only used the top of his finger to blast the ball, getting 705.3 meters. Seeing Midoriya use a quirk made Bakugo lose his cool and try to attack him, but he was stopped by Aizawa, and he berated him for being reckless.

After that debacle, Aizawa called me to throw the ball, and I just did that, getting a whopping 1000-meter distance in throwing. Then Momo created a canon-like thing and blasted the ball beyond 1500 meters.

After that, it was sit-ups, seated toe touches, and long-distance runs; excluding the long-distance runs, I got the top score in the rest.

After everyone finished their tests and lined up, Aizawa said, "Okay, I'll quickly tell you the results.

The total is simply the marks you got from each test.

It's a waste of time to explain verbally, so I'll show you the results all at once."

Saying that he showed us the results

1. Haruto Kageyama

2. Momo Yaoyorozu

3. Shoto Todoroki

4. Katsuki Bakugo

18. Kyoka Jiro

19. Toru Hagakure

20. Izuku Midoriya

Midoriya already looked dead inside after realising he's the last place.

"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion.

It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your quirk." Aizawa dropped the bomb.

""What? ""

"Of course that was a lie. It should have been obvious if you thought it through." Momo said that after seeing other people's reactions.

"With that, we're done here. There are handouts with the curriculum and such in the classroom, so when you get back, look over them." I said that he moved towards Midoriya and told him to go to the nurse's office to heal his wound. After that, he left the place, and we moved back to class.

While walking, Denki and Momo came near me and asked me, "Why didn't you use your quirk in the test?"

"I did." I answered them.

"You did? But we didn't see anything." Denki asked me in confusion.

"Ah, remember that I said that I've got Angel Physique; that's part of my quirk, so technically I used my quirk."

"Yeah, you're right," Momo said.

After reaching the class, we took the handouts and left for home.
