Test of Will
As Yichi glared at the student of 1-A they felt like their knees became noodles as even standing up felt hard for them but even that weakness can't trump the fear they are feeling right now.
Yichi's eye was like two windows of the abyss looking at them and drowning them by fear, it was scary and unbearable.
As a predator of a forest and a sidekick of the No.3 Hero Hashira, Yichi have a very huge kill count which has never been solved.
Those who he have devoured right now were turned into a nutrient for him, fueling his power and killing intent and now this killing intent was being released.
But amidst all these the one who people didn't expect to be special, stepped up. Midoriya who was struggling forced himself to step forward and shield the entire might of Yichi's intent.
Yoriichi's brow furrowed looking at the boy the same age as him and he can't help but feel Midoriya's determination in his eye.
Seeing these Yoriichi smile slightly and Yichi's pressure disappeared like it was nothing making the student fell to their knees gasping for air like they ran a marathon.
"Good Job Class 1-A, With this test the evaluation is over. Congratulations for not failing my expectation."
And as Yoriichi said this he turned his back and leave with a satisfied smile on his face.
'Dominance applied'
Yoriichi grinned leaving the scene.
------------------------
This test was actually Nezu's request to Yoriichi.
It was for Yoriichi to assert his dominance over the students and make it another test.
Nezu felt that the current Hero society lost its purpose and for him, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to nurture a new batch of newly made and empowered students with different mindsets.
Yoriichi was hired because Nezu knew that the students would develop an inferiority complex when their teacher is the same age as them and more powerful than them, but actually, this was a test, if the student can't overcome their inferiority then they are not fit to become a hero.
Hero Society is very competitive and if they can't handle this, that means they can't handle the pressure of the Hero Society.
Making Yoriichi their goal the students would be motivated to aim higher, surpass their teacher, and to be stopped being compared to him.
So Yoriichi being a teacher was just a test.
A brilliant test.
---Yoriichi Pov---
Recently I have concluded that the reason I wasn't able to awaken a new breathing technique this past 4 years was that I haven't met the requirement.
It seems that for me to acquire a new breathing technique, my mind needs to enter a state of high emotion like a high feeling of excitement, fear, anger, or happiness.
For the first time I awakened my Fire Breathing, I was at peak excitement at that moment, meeting the requirement and unlocking the breathing technique.
Another example was when I was fighting with Allmight at that time my adrenaline was at its peak unlocking the Stone breathing.
Anyway, the attack of USJ is coming so I guess I need to brace myself for that.

Sensei Yoriichi was awesome!!!
I never knew that someone my age could be that strong, not only that but he is even a No.3 Hero with a beautiful record.
Though Yichi was very scary.
I thought that was gonna die. So that's what it feels when death is looming above your neck.
I almost faint just looking at its eye. It's honestly traumatizing but it's more traumatizing if I can't handle that.
Yoriichi is a Hero with great achievement with good looks and great power.
Usually, if it's this kind of situation I would be jealous of him but Allmight-san taught me enough to not be.
He told me that all the power in Yoriichi's hand was all from his hard work so instead of me being jealous of him I should strive to work harder to at least be recognized by him.
But honestly, I can't deny that I am a little bit envious of him.
But even with that, I would do my best to achieve my goal.

Days and weeks have passed since Yoriichi started to teach on UA honestly it was kind of fun.
You know asserting your dominance over these little kids who is full of air is quite fun.
But even with that, my Hero duty is not left unattended, I would still do my usual patrol and still train my sword.
And for now I need brace myself, The day of USJ attack is near.
Winter is coming
