6: Quirk Apprehension Test
•-•-•-•-•
We see our raven-haired Protagonist put on his new uniform with a yawn. After saying goodbye to his mother, he gets out of the house and jogs to U.A.
...
He arrives at the school and quickly looks for his classroom.
...
After getting lost for a moment, he finally arrives outside Class 1-A.
He enters the room and is immediately greeted by a student.
{Akira POV}
"Good morning fellow student! My name is Tenya Iida! I'm from Somei Junior Hig-" Iida continues but I cut him off.
"Good morning, Tenya-san. I'm Takumi Akira. Nice to meet you." I say with a nod.
"Ah! You're the Top Scorer! I- Nice to meet you!" he says enthusiastically with a very deep bow.
I look at the board and see that there is an assigned seating arrangement. I observed that a certain purple-haired midget's name is missing. It seems like I took his place.
'That's too bad. I wanted to tease him...' I thought. Looking around the room, I see that there are students already here. Momo, Todoroki, Tsuyu, Shoji, Koji, Tokoyami, and Kaminari.
I went to my assigned seat and greeted my seatmates.
"Good morning. I'm Takumi Akira." I greeted.
"Nice to meet you, Takumi-san. My name is Fumikage Tokoyami" replied my classmate.
"And I'm Momo Yaoyorozu. Glad to meet you, Takumi-san." said the girl politely.
"Todoroki Shoto." replied the bi-colored-haired Sasuke.
I sat on my seat and to pass the time, I read a book about quirks. This is basically a documentation of many different quirks. And there are some very interesting ones.
"Um, is that a book made by Machida Michio?" asked the girl beside me.
"Yes, are you a fan of his works?" I replied.
"Yes. His books deepened my understanding of my quirk." she stated.
...
As Momo and I chatted about Quirk Theory, the classroom gradually filled until the Homeroom Teacher arrived.
"If you're here to make friends, then you shouldn't have come here at all" He said, in a sleeping bag.
"This is the Hero Course!" he added. The class got silent.
"Hmm, it took you lot 8 seconds to quiet down."
"Anyways, I'm Shouta Aizawa, your Homeroom Teacher. Pleasure meeting you." said the sleep-deprived man.
"Also, wear these immediately." he said, showing our P.E. Uniform.
"And then go to the P.E. Grounds"
...
"Alright, now that you're all here, we're going to have a Quirk Apprehension Test" Aizawa stated.
"Really!? What about the ceremony or the-" said one of the girls but was cut off.
"If you want to be Heroes, then you don't have time for such niceties."
He continued, "Softball Pitch, Standing Long Jump, 50-Meter Dash. These are activities you all know from middle school."
"Takumi, how far could you pitch a softball without using your quirk?" he asked me.
I answered, "65 meters."
"Alright, stand in the circle. Try using your quirk this time around. Anything is fine as long as you don't exit the circle."
"Okay, sensei." I replied as I got into a throwing position.
"Blast Off" I said, synched with my throwing motion. The ball came flying out of my hand, a gust of wind on its trail.
"One must know what they're capable of. That is a rational metric that will form the basis of your 'Hero Foundation'." he told us, as he showed them my score.
793.2 meters. It's expected since I put more energy than usual on that throw...
"Awesome that looks so fun!"
"793 meters? For real?!"
...
"Fun you say? Are you expecting to spend 3 years here, having a good time?" He said in a dangerous, low tone.
"Fine. In that case, the student who ranks last in total points will be expelled instantly."
...
"B-but it's our first day here! That's too unfair!" shouted a girl from the class.
"Natural Disasters, Accidents, Mad Villains... These are all unfair too. But, it's our job as Heroes to persevere and make it fair." Aizawa replied.
He continued, "Go "Plus Ultra". I expect you to overcome these trials, and climb to the top."
'Yes, sensei. Well said' I thought.
...
To start the test, we had a 50-Meter Dash. I was paired with sugar boy.
As the countdown starts, I crouch down, touch my shoes, and when it said 'Go', I said,
"Blast Off" I immediately blasted through the race, and heard the robot say "3.13 seconds"
Hmm, not bad.
...
Trial 2: Grip Strength Test
I clenched the machine, it stopped at 230kgw.
...
Trial 3: Standing Long Jump
I held my clothes, jumped and I instantly say,
"Float Forward" In doing so, I passed the test.
...
Trial 4: Repeated Side Steps
I essentially copied what Mineta did but with rocks.
I looked for rocks and "Attach" all of them. I then made them, "Bouncy".
In short, I passed the test.
...
Trial 5: Ball Throw
I know I already did it, but I wanted to try again. So, I approached Aizawa.
"Aizawa-sensei, can I try again? I can still throw the ball further." I asked him.
He replied "Sure." as he gave me a softball.
I stand inside the circle and I repeat what I did on my first try, but this time, I add even more energy.
*Beep* "854.6 meters"
...
The whole Midoriya fiasco happened. But after that, I did the rest of the test. I didn't use my quirk for the last 3, since there wasn't anything I could do with it.
[A/N: It's true. The last three tests were; Endurance Running, Upper Body Exercise, and Seated Toe-Touch]
...
"It's time to present the results" said Aizawa.
"Oh, and the whole expulsion thing was a lie" he added.
And continued, "It was a logical ruse to bring out your best performances."
"EHHHHHHHHH?????" shouted almost the whole class.
"Oh, you guys didn't know?..." said Momo.
