Chapter 48

Title: Burn...

….

Kaminari's body shakes slightly, everyone in Class 1-A and even the other Hero candidates are worried about this. After all, here every one is aiming to be heroes and what they saw was more than just that.

Booom!!!

But contrary to everyone's expectations, iron sand bursts from the ground and surrounds Kaminari. The smell of iron fills the air.

He looks at everyone and he gets up casually, as if he wasn't injured at all.

Though the wound on his back ache is terrible as it feels like even the muscles got. 

"I am okay everyone, the exam can continue like usual." Says Kaminari, trying to reassure everyone.

But in reality, he was trying to tell the exam proctors to continue and that they don't need to get immediate medical attention. Because he knows what will happen once he is pulled out of here, he will lose terribly. That fate, one of a loser is something that Kaminari will never accept. Because as soon as he does, he will never be able to stop losing, that is the sad reality of the situation, as once someone is okay with something, the high standard that he has put on himself will be lowered.

So using the medical knowledge that he knows, the one that he had to learn to use his Quirk to such high levels. He slowly controls the iron sand and heats it using electricity, he does so till the iron sand is sizzling, then he puts it on his back, burning his wound shut. Tears come out of his eyes, but he has covered himself with iron sand now so no one can see him wallow in pain.

'Fuck… I just need to hold on for a little while.' Thinks Kaminari, his eyes leaning towards the cold look, expressing how he really feels about the situation. Enraged, a cold rage, that is all there is to it. In his eyes at least, he has decided that the villains are too dangerous to let live from now on. 'I see the error in my reasoning, I assumed that they wouldn't be able to read through me or find any weakness... no, I know for a fact they shouldn't be able to. Somone has interfered here. I underestimated them, well, that won't happen anymore.'

FWWWWOSH!

BOOOOM!!!

Kaminari then starts using his iron sand to defend and attack. Which people close to him noticed that this is unusual, as he doesn't rely on the iron sand as a clutch, instead he usually uses it to complement his fighting style. But none of them dwell into this too mich and instead continue with their exams.

…

After a couple of minutes, Kaminari notices that he has started breathing more heavily than usual. Also it seems like no matter how much oxygen he takes it, he can't seem to be able to dill up in it.

His body isn't at a level where it can keep up with the strain, so he uses iron sand as an armor below his clothes and moves it in a walking motion, having the armor move instead of the body.

…

-Kaminari POV-

I WILL KILL THEM ALL!!! Those fu*king villains, they will all DIE!! 

I feel pain going through my body is something beyond just simple pain, it feels like lava foring on my back and melting away at my flesh.

I manipulate the iron sand armor under my clothes to fly up, this way I can see all of the attacks coming at me. Currently my reserves are dropping faster and my mental faculties are a little muddled due to the pain.

I see one person coming towards me, I just use the iron sand to grab him by his feet and tie them together. I then point my finger at him.

<Lightning Bolt>

*Bzzzt*

He is knocked out immediately, I can't afford to go easy on them any more. Still, I must keep my Quirk under control to not kill them, since just a little too high voltage and they are done. This Quirk of mine is way more dangerous than most out there.

Still, I can pass the exam with just how I am currently, I have all of the targets I need. I should have immobilized Toga as soon as I could then… no… my thought process has been wrong all along. I should just kill her... no.... I WILL kill her the next time I catch sight of her.

Tch, this sucks, being brought to such a pitiful state. I hate mind manipulating Quirks, and I can't even get out of them, no way to defend against it. I need to continue developing more, I have Shinso who has a Quirk similar to that, so I need to find a way to get out of it.

*sigh* No need to dwell on these things for now, what is done, is done. I can't change the past, so I must look towards the future and ways to continue to improve on my weaknesses. Though this one will be hard, because it isn't something that can be solved by me having just more raw power or control over my Quirk.

Images of Toga's movements and how she disappeared from my senses play in my head. No, she completely disappeared from my senses, my memory of her movements is still fresh.

Hmmm... maybe I can get something out of this after all.

…

-General POV-

The exam continues and everyone else from Class 1-A gathers into teams to fight the others targeting them. This is all because they don't know their opponents' Quirks, so they have to be extra careful and have someone with them to pull them out of trouble just in case.

…

After some time finally, an announcement comes. "[Check, check, 1, 2, 3… just checking here. Okay now, seventy-six people have passed the exam. Good luck everyone on the second exam, as it will be prepared soon. Till then, you have a dozen more minutes to pass this exam. Also, the people who have already passed will have their names called out, so they can go to the waiting room.]"

The winners breathes a sigh of relief at this, while the ones who hadn't gathered their needed requirements to pass are panicked. The chaos erupts all around as everyone tries their best to pass.

'The warning was a little strange.' Kaminari on the other hand contemplates on what was being said. It didn't take long for him to understand what this means. 'This rule sounds too shabby, like it was just made up on the spot.'

That is when he understood that it was just added in due to him. So he takes this chance and goes towards the waiting room, he just levitates himself all the way there. 

…

Once he arrives, he sees Momo, Kirishima, Bakugo, Tokoyami, Todoroki and Jirou have already passed too. While there were also some others from other schools who had also passed, but they are in other rooms.

As soon as Kaminari enters the U.A room, everyone looks at him worryingly and the atmosphere is tense and quiet.

But by now Kaminari has already calmed down and waves at them with a smile on his face. "C'mon now everyone, what is it with all the gloom faces? I am okay, it was just a little scratch."

"Bahahaha, I knew that of course. I wasn't worried at all!" Exclaims Eijiro, bring the first to talk while giving Kaminari a thumbs up. "That is as expected, super manly of you Kaminari!"

Bakugo on the other hand just narrows his eyes and sees Kaminari's movements. Before their fight, he had analyzed Kaminari so he can now tell that he isn't as okay as he says. 'He is just so full of sh*t.' Thinks Bakugo. 'I doubt he can even walk right now if he let go of his Quirk.'

But he wasn't the only one who caught on, as Momo figured out what is going on, but she didn't say anything either. 'He must have his reasons for hiding his injuries.'

While Kaminari has phenomenal control over his Quirk, but he still can't make his suit of armor walk exactly as he would usually walk. So that is a problem for him as sharp people can notice what is going on almost immediately.

Baam!

And that is when Aizawa kicks the door open casually and comes in with a tired look on his face. "Denki Kaminari, come with me for a second."

Kaminari doesn't refute him and walks with Aizawa but as soon as they are outside... he starts floating instead of walking behind his teacher.

Aizawa notices this but doesn't comment on it. But he does say something else. "You should drop out of the exam."

"No way." Answers Kaminari calmly without missing a beat. 

"I see." Is all Aizawa says, expecting a situation like this to arise. "Anyway, then you should accept some healing."

"Okay, but no Recovery Lady, because I will pass out from fatigue if she uses her Quirk on me." Confirms Kaminari, he is still keeping himself together (barely), despite the burning pain on his back. He also knows that the wound has been burned shut skillfully so it won't disable his physical abilities in the future at all.

"Okay." Aizawa accepts the terms without a problem. He knows just how stubborn Kaminari can be, so he doesn't see the need to argue with the kid. "Also, you are very childish and short-sighted, Denki Kaminari."

"I know." Says Kaminari, ignoring the pointing and dissatisfied look that Aizawa gives him. 

'He will never understand what winning means to me. I must never lose, that is my way of life, if I can't even do that, then what is a life worth living for? As a loser I will constantly be pushed down by the winners.' Contemplates Kaminari. Understanding how it is to be at the top in his previous life, he also knows how the top looks down at the bottom. It's the same as looking at unimportant trash. 'To be a loser means that there must be a winner over me. I MUST always be the winner no matter what.'

…

Once they arrive at the infirmary, Recovery Lady is there but Aizawa shakes his head, meaning that Kaminari doesn't want the treatment. She only sighs at this in disappointment.

"Let me see the wound." Says Recovery Lady, and Kaminari takes off his shirt, showing them his back. That makes even Aizawa wince as a part of the skin is pulled off with the shirt, showing the raw flesh below.

"Ara~ This is worse than I thought." Says Recovery Lady. She still has a calm look on her face, she has seen worse, though rarely in a child. Especially since Kaminari had self-inflicted these burns to forcefully close up his original wound. "Young boy, this will lead to horrible lifelong scars on your back if you decide to not immediately heal them."

"Doesn't matter." That is an easy answer for Kaminari. He doesn't mind any scars on his body as long as it is not his face. 

"You are being dumb." Aizawa criticizes him. But Kaminari doesn't budge on this.

Recovery Lady sighs at this once more and moves to look at Kaminari's wound. "At least the burning is made skillfully, it is mostly skin to stop the bleeding, so there is no muscle or internal bleeding. Aizawa, can you go and call Basara?"

Aizawa goes outside to call that person which Kaminari doesn't even remember being in the manga.

….

Later on, he is ready for the 2nd part of the exam, he is now able to move fully and has had some internal stitching done with some random guy's Quirk.

'As expected, the Quirks have revolutionized the medical industry too.' Contemplates Kaminari, also the guy names Basara was just an old doctor that sucked the heat from his wounds. Very useful for burn wounds. 

And so, the Kaminari enters the 2nd part of the exam...

….

A/N: When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Despite what happened, the MC still got a look at how Toga uses her dissapearing technique. The villains are evolving... but so is the MC. Taht is why Toga never went for the kill even though the MC was paralyzed for a split second, an injured tiger is still dangerous.

P.S: The MC can see that the attack wasn't... normal...
