Chương 3: Quirk Assessment Test...!
Chapter 3 - Quirk Assessment Test...!
{For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.}
(Music: Solid State Scouter (Bardock's Theme) | Epic Cover by Friedrich Habetler Music)
(Dreamscape Start)
"FREEZA!"
Explosions and battle cries could be heard in the distant void of outer space. In a galaxy far, far away from the Planet Earth we all know love, is another planet that is very similar to it, but not quite. For one the gravity is about 10 times heavier than that of planet Earth with a very dense and thick atmosphere. Another difference is that Earth is blue, this unique planet however is pink in color. The size of the planet is not that far off with this particular planet being slightly bigger. Unlike Earth, there aren't many landmarks, oceans, mountains, jungles or any other kind of unique landscape present in this planet. It was mostly land, with buildings very distinct than the ones present on Earth. Planet Earth also has the technological edge in many aspects as well.
One major difference that completely set the two planets apart however, were the races and species that inhabit the two. Planet Earth had a large diversity of animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and other organisms living on it including the most dominant one being the Homo Sapien Sapien race. The pink planet had a wide variety of organisms too. But there was one huge difference. The most dominant race wasn't the Homo Sapien Sapien race, but a very similar species that goes by the name of Saiyan.
Humans and saiyans had very similar features. They both walked on two legs, and had two arms, with two hands with five fingers. The way they reproduced and procreated are the exact same as well, making it possible for a saiyan and a human to mate and create a child with no worries of birth defects. Practically every single damn thing was the same, every organ, every bone, tissue, cell, you name it.
However, there is one key difference and that being, each and every saiyan was born with a brown monkey tail. This completely set the two apart as far as strength and overall fighting capabilities go. The saiyan race are natural born fighters with a primal nature reminiscent that of a Lion. They are always striving to be the strongest warriors in the universe. The planet that inhabits these magnificent warrior race is none other than Planet Vegeta.
A baby Saiyan's power level is measured as soon as they are born, if their power level is up to standard they are raised as upper-level warriors and become combatant candidates. If their power level remains low even after a certain amount of time has passed they are classed as low-level warriors and become either engineers or infiltration babies. Infiltration babies are sent off to a planet the Saiyans have selected for take over, and if the baby grows up into a warrior capable of taking over the planet they are allowed to return as a full-fledged combatant. Infiltration babies have a low survival rate. Saiyans do not naturally know how to fly, some need to be taught, while others work it out on their own. Training to increase power level is also uncommon, with only a few Saiyan children receiving a short period of special training to acquire a greater power level. Saiyans do not celebrate any holidays. Instead of playing like Earthling children, Saiyan children fight amongst themselves.
"Freeza! Stop hiding! Come out and fight me you coward!"
The one who is screaming at the top of his lungs is a low-class saiyan warrior. He has unkempt hair which partially stands on end. He has a scar on his left cheek, slightly dark skin and fully outlined, sharp eyes. He wears a dark blue and green Battle Armor, and a green Scouter on his left eye, and has red cutted pants and black and green shoes. He is wearing a blood-soaked armband as a headband. This armband belonged to another fellow saiyan who fell in battle. The name of this man is Bardock: The Father of Son Goku.
He was currently flying through space above Planet Vegeta. There was a huge oval shaped spaceship hovering above the planet's atmosphere. Bardock was speeding straight towards it. His path was blocked however, by many countless Freeza soldiers that did their best to detain him. All of their efforts were in vain due to the sole reason being that Bardock was a man on a mission. And any person who dared to try and get in his way was either getting blasted, elbowed, kicked, punched, or thrown out of the way. At that moment, Bardock had nothing but one thing in mind: End the the life of the galactic tyrant Freeza once and for all.
Then out of the top entrance of the spaceship came out the one and only Freeza. Freeza is an alien creature wearing the standard saiyan armor it being purple. He has two horns pointing sideways with pink arms and white and purple patterns throughout his body. He is very short as he stands at a height of exactly 5 feet or 152.4 centimeters. He is currently in a circular mobile space pod that he rides in.
Bardock smirked when he saw that Freeza finally came out, "Freeza… "
All of the other Freeza soldiers were surprised and shocked to see that their master actually came out and responded to the low level. Now they were anxious to see what he would do next.
Bardock began to laugh, "It all comes down to this. My fate. Planet Vegeta's. Kakarot's!"
Freeza kept a neutral face as he lifted up his right index finger. Above up was a circular Ki ball that was beginning to charge up.
"And yes… Yours too Freeza!" Bardock's right hand glowed blue as a Ki ball charged up which composed of all the remaining power that he had left stored inside of him. This was his last shot to end it once and for all.
"WE SETTLE IT HERE!" Bardock battle cried as he launched the blue energy ball right towards the tyrant, signalling the end.
"Hahahahaha!" Freeza maniacally laughed as his Ki ball began to grow and grow in size until it looked similar to a miniature sun. Bardock's attack made contact with the Ki sphere, but it was completely nullified and swallowed up by the much stronger technique.
"What the? No way!" Bardock exclaimed as he couldn't believe his eyes. He put absolutely everything he had in that blast. And it was just swallowed up like it was a pebble compared to the huge sun that was Freeza's attack.
The sun like energy sphere kept on becoming larger and larger until Freeza finally launched it with a flick of his finger. Laughing as he does so.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bardock yelled in agony as the Supernova made contact with his body. The Supernova began to melt away and vaporize his remaining clothes as the heat burned his skin as if he were taking a dive into a volcano. The Supernova also made contact with the Freeza soldiers and instantly killed every last one of them, but of course Freeza had absolutely no concern for them whatsoever. To him, they were just worthless pawns.
Bardock began to have a vision. In it, he saw his son, Goku standing across from Freeza on Planet Namek as they prepared to do battle.
"Kaka-Kakarot… " Bardock smiled and laughed as he knew the future. In time, his son, Goku, the last hope of the Saiyan Race will face off against Freeza… and Goku will win. Not only will he win, but he will avenge the his race and everyone else who tragically died at the hands of Freeza.
"KAKAROT!" The name of his beloved son was the last thing Bardock said as his body was burned to ash by Freeza's Supernova. It eventually made contact with PLanet Vegeta. All over the Planet, yellow cracks were spread throughout as the splash damage of the Supernova took effect. A couple seconds later, Freeza began to laugh maniacally once planet was utterly destroyed as all the Saiyans present were destroyed along with it. Nothing remained of the once home of the Saiyan Race as it was completely destroyed.
Meanwhile across another galaxy, was a saiyan space pod. In it was the sleeping baby known as Kakakort, who will later be renamed Goku by his grandpa Gohan.
'Kakarot my son… You must succeed where I have failed! One day, you must rise up to avenge the Saiyans of Planet Vegeta. Redeem the Pride of our Race… '

Izuku woke up with a start. His heart racing, panting, and sweating as he did so. He immediately checked his current location and immediate surroundings. He calmed down once he realized that he was in his bedroom. He looked towards his nightstand and saw that his digital clock read 3:45 A.M.
He used his Ki to scan the energy signatures of the surrounding area. He sensed his mother sleeping peacefully in her room. Other than that, Izuku didn't sense and particular high Power Levels at all, and he also didn't feel any malicious energy.
Izuku sighed. He had one of those dreams again. Each one getting more vivid and detailed one right after the other. Usually, he would only get these kinds of dreams once every so often. Maybe once every two or three weeks. But now, he was getting dreams such like this example practically every other day. There were nights where he couldn't even sleep because of the extreme amounts of realism of the dreams. It was as if, he was actually present there, watching all of the scenes unfold from a bird's eye view.
"Man, what a pain in the tail," Izuku said grumbly as he got off from his bed and went to his bathroom to urinate. After he finished his business, he washed his hands in the sink. After he was done, he looked at the mirror and examined himself. He was currently shirtless as none of his pajamas fit him any longer. Most of the clothes he wore now were originally his Father's. With all of the time that was occupied with his training and studying, Izuku hasn't had the chance to actually go out to the mall and shop for new clothes that would actually fit him. He was actually surprised to find out that his Father's clothes fit him. Since the average male height in Japan was 171.2 cm or 5'7, not many people were as tall as Izuku. So it just made him wonder: How tall exactly is his Dad?
Izuku thought back to the dream he had. That man… Bardock was his name. He had a tail, just like him. And not only that, but he could use Ki attacks as well. And that other person, Freeza. He was able to destroy a whole planet with just one flick of a finger. It almost terrified Izuku. To think that someone exists with such unbelievable power. He didn't even think All Might is capable of such a feat! And that's saying something.
Izuku looked at his right hand. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate deeply. He called forth the power of his Ki to his right hand. After a few seconds, a blue energy sphere appeared on his right hand. It was the same attack Bardock used as his last assault against the Villain Freeza before he unfortunately met his demise at the Tyrant's hands.
Izuku then used One For All on his left hand as green lightning sparked violently. He held the hands side by side as he looked at his reflection. The two powerful energies illuminating him.
"I have been blessed with these two Quirks… And with this Power… I swear that I'll be the Greatest Hero in the World!"
(Music: My Hero Academia Opening 1- The Day)
In a golden background as spotlights flash, both All Might and Son Goku appear as they look towards the golden light with their backs turned to Izuku.
Shizukesa ga shimikomu you de iki wo tometa gozen goji
Izuku looks in awe as he stands up to look at the two in pure admiration and inspiration. The golden stardust surrounds and fades around him as he looks on in strive and determination be just like them.
Hijou kaidan de tsume wo kamu Asu wa docchi da?
Izuku begins to reach out with both of his hands towards the two hoping to grasp and harness both of their powers. He reaches out to All Might with his left hand, while he reaches out to Son Goku with his right hand. Goku and All Might turn their heads around towards Izuku as both of them have an equal large smile plastered on their faces. As Izuku gets closer and closer to reaching them, the Golden Light gets brighter and brighter until eventually Goku and All Might grab Izuku's right and left hand respectively as they pass on their Power onto him as the scene is replaced with the words "Plus Ultra."
THE DAY HAS COME!
The scene then switches to each and every member of Class 1A getting their own shot in their Hero Costumes with their names being displayed beside them. It starts with Ochaco Uraraka, and ends with Shoto Todoroki being the last one.
Keshite akenai yoru mo
Furi tuzukete yamanai ame mo
Kono rokudemonai sekai ni wa arun da yo
Izuku is downtown walking on a darkened overpass. It is night time as rain falls. Izuku walks alone with no coat or umbrella on, while a huge crowd mils about in the well-lit street below. This emphasizes the isolation and despair that Izuku feels as someone without a Quirk and a social outcast. Making his dream of being a Hero almost impossible despite his optimism.
As he sadly walks, away, the viewers see what he was looking at. A billboard urging people to become Heroes…
Sukoshi mo hen de wa nai no
Madoromi ni ashi wo torareteru
Anata wo semete iru wake ja nain da yo
Izuku continues his sad march home, the city a blur of abstract shapes behind him as his Hero Journals flash by one by one, showing his determination in spite of how impossible his dream seems to be.
However, once Hero Journal #14 comes into view, Izuku changes dramatically as he grows taller and and a tail sprouts from behind him. Izuku looks at his hands in awe of his newfound Power as now he realizes that his dream can now become a reality. Izuku comes to a stop as all of the Hero Journals come tumbling down.
Hitori kuusou ni asobu
A transition comes to a single shot to Izuku and Katsuki. First we see them as children and while there's a divide between them, the dividing line is relatively smooth and calm. The pair smiles at each other as friends though judging from the woods around them, this is just moments before Izuku pulled Katsuki out of the water bruising his ego and ending their friendship forever.
Soko de omoi egaita koto made hajiru no kai?
We shift from the simple childhood innocence of summer to spring cherry blossoms with the pair now looking from each other and the dividing line between them now much more wild and and violent. Cherry blossoms are typically associated with graduation and the start of a new school year. In other words with endings and new beginnings. Sometime between elementary school and their graduation of middle school, these kids went from being best friends to enemies and that after entering the same high school shown by the change in uniforms, their rivalry only got more violent. Now the dividing line between them is now a chaotic electrified mess. With each of these transitions, the inevitability of their future conflict is increasingly impressed upon the viewer. Leading up to the explosive angry punch that caps off their fight during training. Out of that explosion we see Tomura Shigaraki emerge as his right palm attempts to touch the screen.
Karami au meikyuu meikyuu
Sore demo yuku to iu no?
Chiisaki tabibito ga
kanaderu hajimari no kane no ne
The scene changes from Shigaraki's open palm to All Might's as he closes his fist and jumps towards Nomu as they both begin swapping hands and trading blows left and right. Kurogiri opens his giant yellow eyes as he prepares to use his Warp Gate Quirk. Eraser Head appears and he uses his Quirk to take care of numerous cannon fodder Villains. Then Izuku could be seen in his U.A. uniform running as fast as he can to make it into the battle.
Yuku atemo DON'T KNOW DON'T KNOW
Hontou wa kowain ja nai no?
Fumidasu sono ippo ippo ga kaete yukeru sa
One by one, the students of Class 1-A are in the air as they launch into battle. Each one showing a spark of their personality as they do so. First with Ochaco Uraraka smiling and jumping a joy showing her bubbly personality. To Tenya Iida with his trademark serious and strict attitude as he swings a kick. Right after that comes Tsuyu Asui as she grabs Minrou Mineta with a straight face which illustrates her blunt and straightforward nature with Mineta crying in fear, showing his cowardice. Shoto Todoroki slides using his ice powers ready for battle with complete and utter confidence. Eijirou Kirishima activates his Hardening with a cocky smirk. And last but not least is Katsuki Bakugo as he laughs maniacally ready to blast and destroy everything in his path.
Izuku is still running as his clothes now change from his U.A. uniform to his Hero Costume. This shift symbolizes his transformation from Izuku to Deku as he is now in Hero Mode. Deku uses One For All in his left hand and his Ki in his right hand. He brings them together and charges up a Kamehameha Wave as both Goku and All Might push him forward, giving him the drive to push beyond his limits and do what he needs to do. With the Kamehameha Wave now fully charged up, Deku fires the attack with a ferocious roar as the deadly blast envelops the screen.
THE DAY HAS COME!
The opening then cuts to all of the other students in Class 1-A who weren't shown in the previous scene as they to prepare for battle. The final shot shows all of the students plus All Might and Eraser Head posed as they stand united in front of U.A. ready to defend their Home no matter the cost.
(Music End)
The night after Izuku opened his acceptance letter, Toshinori contacted him. Toshinori told Izuku to come meet him at the beach so they can catch up and talk about U.A. and such. When Izuku received his message, he was absolutely thrilled since he hadn't heard from his Sensei in over a week.
As Izuku was flying over to the beach, he still couldn't get that dream he had out of his head.
"What was that? And why did it seem so real? It's like I'm having visions of the future or something!" Izuku exclaimed as he moved over sideways to prevent himself from hitting an apartment building.
"Is it just me hallucinating, or do these dreams/visions have some sort of meaning or purpose to them? One thing I realized is that there is always at least one person that is involved and that is Son Goku. And this dream in particular had to do with him and his father, Bardock. Also, that Villain Freeza seems to be an important character as well."
As Izuku was muttering to himself, many people down below on the streets saw the bright white light of his Ki as it trailed behind him as he flew in the night sky.
"Look, mommy, its a shooting star!"one little girl told her mother
"Yes dear, it looks really beautiful. Make sure to make a wish!"
Izuku saw that he was nearing the Dagoba Municipal Beach.
"Whatever the case may be, I think it is best that I keep all of this to myself. I'm going to have to figure this out on my own. I can't tell this to anybody, not even to Toshinori-Sensei. I can't allow something like this to distract me from my top priorities and that's becoming a Pro Hero." Izuku finished talking to himself as he landed on the beach. He saw Toshinori standing at the near the ocean staring at the distance.
"Toshinori-Sensei!" Izuku shouted as Toshinori turned around to find none other than the Ninth Holder of One For All. He smiled as he walked towards him with his right hand raised up.
"Congrats on getting accepted young man! You got the Number One highest score. I knew all along you had it in you."
"Th-Th-Thank you very much!" Izuku replied as he gave his mentor and idol a high five.
"Just so you know, I didn't tell the school about my connection to you. You're the type that would think that's cheating, right? I wasn't one of the Judges." Toshinori revealed. Knowing someone like Izuku, he would want to earn things the right way without getting any outside favorable help. It just wasn't in him. He wants to win using his own power.
"Th-Thank you for your concern! It's true, I wouldn't want you or anyone else pulling strings behind the scenes in order to make it easier for me to succeed. Knowing that I completely earned and deserved such a high score just made it all the more satisfying. And thank you Toshinori-Sensei. Without you, I don't know if I could have excelled like that in the U.A. Entrance Exams!" Izuku said as he smiled sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head like he always does.
'You truly are going to become a great Hero someday. That I know for sure…' Toshinori said in his mind as he truly felt proud for what his Successor is and what he will become in the future.
"Oh by the way, I was surprised to find out that you were a teacher at U.A. So that's why you came to this city, huh? I mean, your agency is in Roppongi in Minato, Tokyo at-"
"Stop that!"
Izuku stopped mid sentence and blushed in embarrassment as he realized he was in fanboy mode once again.
"I couldn't tell anyone before the school announced it. I just happened to be offered a job from U.A. when I was searching for a Successor." Toshinori said as he turned around to look at the sea.
Izuku gasped, 'I see. He was originally planning on choosing one of the students from U.A… one of the students gifted with an amazing Quirk.' Izuku looked down at his hands as he felt the power of his Ki running through his veins calmly.
"I completely collapsed and fell unconscious after using One For All and Ki at the same time. It sapped my stamina and broke my arms. Recovery Girl had to nurse and heal me after the Exams were over. Whenever, I use the two separately though, there such thing happens unless I go beyond 20%. I can control them, but just not at the same time." Izuku said as he green electricity appeared in his left hand and a blue energy sphere appeared in his right hand.
Toshinori turned around to face his student, "That can't be helped. It's like if you asked who suddenly grew a tail to do a trick, they wouldn't be able to control it. Which unironically kind of fits your situation since you literally grew a tail overnight." Toshinori replied. In response, Izuku wiggled his tail around and wrapped it around his waist.
"Yeah, I get what you're trying to say. Since I've only had my Quirk for 10 months and I only had One For All for 5 months, it would be hard for anyone to be able to use both Quirks at the same time without risk of injury. That's like asking a baby to run." Izuku said as he deactivated his Quirks.
"There wasn't any time, and we had to prepare you for the Exams as soon as possible. But it turned out perfectly! You got the highest score. It turned out 'all might'!" Toshinori said excitedly with a thumbs up. He then looked down and picked up two spray paint bottles with the word 'GAS' on the front of each of them.
"Right now, you're able to use 20% of One For All. You can use your Ki effectively as well. But when you combine them, you're either at a hundred percent or zero. But once you can control them both simultaneously, you'll be able to adjust to what your body can handle."
"Control?!"
Toshinori began to elaborate on his point, "The more you train a vessel, the more you'll be able to move the power freely. Think of your body like a glass of water. And think of your Ki as clean water. You can control that Quirk pretty easily since its the power that you were born with. But One For All is different. It is not a Quirk that one is born with. It is a strange power that your body isn't used to and hasn't completely adapted to yet, unlike your Ki. So think of One For All as a different kind of liquid, like soda. Putting in the soda and water in the same glass cup at the same time wouldn't be a good idea. So for you to enjoy both drinks, you would have to empty out the glass cup and pour the liquids in separately. Your body as it is now, can only handle one Quirk at a time. But with time and training, your body will adapt to One For All and it will become second nature to you. And you'll be able to use both powers freely."
"Like this," All Might said as he crushed the two spray paint bottles effortlessly in his Hero Form. Izuku smirked as he said, "Alright then. I'm just going to have to keep training up until I've mastered both Quirks to the point where I can use them both at the same time without having to worry about killing myself, right?"
"Exactly, Young Midoriya!"
"Wait, is that All Might?!"
"No way! When did he get here?!" A young couple yelled as they were shocked to see All Might appear out of nowhere on the beach.
All Might sweatdropped as he forgot that there were people around. He began running as he said, "Let's go, Young Midoriya!"
"Y-Yes, sir!" Izuku said as he also followed suit and ran alongside All Might to get away from the young couple as fast as possible.
All Might looked towards Izuku, 'The Flame I passed on to you is still small… But in the future, it'll be exposed to wind, rain, and grow even bigger. And then, I will slowly become weak and disappear, and I will finish my job… Yeah, that's deep."
[April…]
"Izuku, do you have tissue?"
"Yeah."
"And your handkerchief? What about your handkerchief? Your hanky?"
Izuku rolled his eyes and smile, "Yes, mom I have it! I'm going to be late. I have to hurry!"
Today is the first day of Izuku's first year in U.A. High School. He has been anxiously waiting for this day for over a month now. Who wouldn't be anxious? U.A. is the Number One Hero Course in the entire country. Getting into this school has been Izuku's dream for as long as he could remember. Today would start his journey into becoming a Pro Hero. If Izuku was going to be the Number One Hero and the next Symbol of Peace, then this was the school to help mold him into the Hero he has always strived to be.
Izuku and Momo would sometimes talk for hours on the phone about the upcoming school year. She was glad that she had somebody to talk to who was on her level in terms of intellect. Izuku would get so excited that on some days, he would literally just spend all day training, using that as a way to spend all of the adrenaline he had stacked up inside of him. But even then it wasn't enough. He would go 100% fanboy mode while sparring with All Might, which annoyed him to almost no end. The Number One Hero would have land a couple of decent Kansas Smashes in order to knock some sense into him.
After Izuku finished tying his shoes, he stood up and put on his same old yellow book bag and opened the front door.
"Izuku!"
Izuku turned his head to face Inko, "Yes, mom?"
"You look just like your Father when he was your age. You're really cool, and I want you to know that I'm proud of you honey, and I know for a fact that he would be proud of you as well." Inko said with a smile as she had tears at the edge of her eyes, as she could barely contain her joy of seeing her son going to his first day of High School. She was witnessing her baby boy grow up into a fine young man who will later become a Great Hero someday.
Izuku widened his eyes. Whenever the subject of his Father was brought up, it always hit a sore spot. But in the context of the situation, it being a positive one, he was actually happy that his Mother said that. It not only lets him know that he has his Inko's support, but somewhere overseas, he also has the support of his Father. Still, it wouldn't hurt to at least visit once in a while….
"Thank you mom, you don't know how much that means to me. Well then, I'm off! I'll see you later!" Izuku said before he blasted off to the sky.
"Don't forget to call me if anything happens!" Inko yelled out as Izuku disappeared from her line of sight.
The acceptance rate for U.A. High's Hero Course is less than one in three hundred every year. Other than the four people admitted through recommendations, 36 are admitted through the regular Exam. Those 36 are split into only two classes, with 18 each.
"Class 1-A… 1-A… This place is too big…"
Currently Izuku is jogging down the halls of the massive school, looking for his homeroom. Izuku is wearing standard U.A. uniform which consisted of a grey colored blazer with yellow buttons with a white collared shirt with a red tie and dark blue pants. Of course, Izuku was wearing his trademark red sneakers, and he had his brown monkey tail out wiggling behind him. He could just wrap it around his waist, but he decided to just let it be loose and only do that when he was in a training or in a battle.
"There it is!" Izuku finally found his homeroom. When he arrived to the door to the classroom, he was astonished.
"The door's huge! It must be that size so any student of all shapes and sizes can enter through. There are some pretty bizarre Quirks out there. Especially mine." Izuku said to himself as he began to scan the Power Levels inside the room.
"The elite chosen from the huge number at the exam… And of course, the two people who I hope would not be in the same class me are in fact in the same homeroom. Lucky me!" Izuku said as he sensed two pretty distinct Power Levels inside. He slid the door open only to see-
"Don't put your feet on the desk!"
"Huh?"
"Don't you think that's rude to the U.A. upperclassmen and the excellent craftsmen who made the desk?"
"Nope! What junior high did you go to, you side character?"
Izuku sweatdropped. 'Of course….'
The tall serious teen with glasses stopped for one moment as he began to speak again, "Let's start over. I attended Somei Private Academy. My name is Tenya Iida."
Bakugo scoffed, "Somei? So you're a damn elite, huh? Looks like I will have fun crushing you."
"Crushing? That's cruel. Do you truly aim to be a Hero?" Tenya replied before Bakugo looked towards the door as he also did the same. He then saw Izuku standing there.
"It's him!" Tenya said as he recognized Izuku as the one who destroyed the Zero Pointer in the Entrance Exam.
All of the students present in the classroom proceeded to look towards Izuku as he kind of stood out, being tall, having a muscular figure and having a brown monkey tail wiggling behind him. Not to mention his unique hair style.
"Oh, um... " Izuku said awkwardly as he wasn't used to having all of the attention on him, since most of his life, he's kind of been a social outcast.
Bakugo smirked, "I knew you would pass"
"Good morning! I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is-"
"I heard you before. I'm Izuku Midoriya. Nice to meet you, Iida." Izuku said as he smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head, a habit that has seemed to have stuck with him.
"Midoriya… you realized there was something more to that Practical Exam , didn't you?"
"Huh?" Izuku responded dumbly
"I had no idea… I completely misjudged you! I hate to admit it, but you are better than me." Tenya said as he praised Izuku.
Izuku sweatdropped as he waved his hands around, "No no no you've got it all wrong. I wasn't aware of the secret behind the Exams. I just did what I thought was right. I couldn't let a fellow Examinee get hurt or worse when I could've done something to prevent it from happening. Right?" Izuku said as he found Momo at the back of the class. She gave him a smile and nod as she waved at him.
"Oh, that curly and spiky hair! You're the handsome looking one!"
Izuku turned around to see the same cute brunette that he saved during the Entrance Exam. He blushed at her comment as he took a good look at her.
'-It's the nice person!'
"-You passed, just like Present Mic said!"
'-She looks good in a uniform… ' Izuku thought as the uniform hugged her curves nicely.
"-Of course you did! That blast was amazing!"
Izuku's face now resembled a strawberry, "-Oh, well, um, it was thanks to you going to speak with him directly that I, uh… " Izukus stuttered.
"Huh? How did you know about that?"
"Oh, uh, that's because… "
Bakugo looked at the scene in front of him as he kept thinking, 'How was Deku able to get so strong in so little time? Meh, it doesn't matter. He's the only one from our sorry little middle school that is worthy enough to get into U.A. besides me. But of course, I'm still Number One!'
"I wonder if today's just the entrance ceremony and orientation? I wonder what our teachers are like? Aren't you nervous?"
'She' so close' Izuku thought as he did his best to hide his red face as it was he wasn't used to grils his age being so up close and personal with him.
"Go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends," said a monotone voice.
Ochaco and Izuku looked outside the door to see a man inside a yellow sleeping bag.
"This is the Hero Course," the man said as he drank a juice box.
'S-Something's here?!' Izuku, Ochaco, and Tenya thought.
The man stood up and unzipped his sleeping bag, "Okay, it took eight seconds before you were quiet. Time is limited. You kids are not rational enough."
Izuku sensed the man's Power Level, 'Woah, this guy's got a pretty high Power Level! He must be a teacher, which means he's a Pro Hero. But I have never seen a Hero who looked that worn out before.'
"I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Nice to meet you"
Shota Aizawa is a tall skinny man who stands at a height of about 6 feet. He has black messy, shoulder length black hair that partly hangs in front of his face and black eyes. He looks tired and worn out, like someone who just got out of bed. He wears a long sleeved black shirt with matching pants and boots. He also wears a grey scarf around his neck.
"It's kind of sudden, but put this on and go out onto the field." Aizawa said as he took out the U.A. gym uniform from his sleeping bag. It was blue in color and had the letters 'UA' in white with the U going through the chest up and the A going from the stomach and down the legs connecting with the gym pants.
Meanwhile, Toshinori with his yellow suit on, was in the teacher's lounge reading the "Teacher Directory".
'The U.A. system does not follow the beaten path. Depending on the homeroom teacher, even the first day can be… '
"A QUIRK ASSESSMENT TEST?!" Class 1-A yelled.
"What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?" Ochaco asked
"If you're going to become a Hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events. U.A.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are. That's also how the teachers run their classes." Aizawa responded as he turned around to see the shocked faces of Class 1-A.
"You kids have been doing these physical tests since junior high, too, right? Physical fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your Quirks. The country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their Quirks. It is not rational. Well, the Ministry of Education is procrastinating."
He then looked towards Izuku, "Midoriya, you finished at the top of the Practical Exam, right? You were the only who scored above 200 points, earning the highest score ever in the history of U.A. You were also able to completely destroy the Zero Pointer, while everybody else was forced to run away. Pretty impressive to say the least." Aizawa revealed as the rest of the class looked at Izuku with surprised faces. The only one that wasn't shocked was Momo.
"Amazing! I didn't know you were able to get that many points!" Tenya said as hsi respect for Izuku only grew.
"Wow, you must be stronger than I thought!" Ochaco said as she too was impressed by Izuku's achievement.
Izuku blushed and rubbed the back of his head as smiled sheepishly, "Oh come on, it isn't that big of a deal. It was only the Entrance Exam. Plus you and Iida had pretty good scores as well."
Bakugo was irate, "WHAT! Damn it Deku! How were you able to get such a high score?! I'll kill you if you don-"
"Anyways, that aside. Midoriya, in junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?" Aizawa asked as he cut Bakugo off.
"43 meters," Izuku replied
"Then, try doing it with your Quirk." Aizawa said as he threw a softball towards Izuku, which he caught with ease. "You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle. Hurry up. Give it all you've got."
Izuku walked to the circle as he began stretching to loosen up his muscles. He then activated One For All: Full Cowl as the scent of ozone filled the air around them and green sparks of lightning surrounded him.
'I'll only use 1%. There's no need to go overboard.' Izuku thought as he gripped the softball tightly. He took a step forward and arched his back and yelled-
"DETROIT SMASH!"
The ball went flying through air as a gust of wind blew the students slightly off their feet.
Aizawa looked suspiciously at Izuku, 'He's holding back isn't he? It doesn't seem like he's giving it his all.'
"Know your own maximum first." Aizawa said as the ball hit the ground after a few seconds. "That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a Hero." He held up his phone as it read 800 meters.
Class 1-A gasped in shock.
"800 meters? Seriously?" said a blonde student with a black electric bolt mark in his hair.
"What's this? It looks fun!" said a pink skinned girl with yellow horns and yellow eyes.
"We can use our Quirks as much as we want! As expected from the Hero Course!"
"It looks fun, huh?" Aizawa said ominously. "You have three years to become a Hero. Will you have an attitude like that the whole time? All right. Whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential and will be punished with expulsion."
"HUH?!" Most of the students of Class 1-A shouted.
"Aizawa, huh? It seems like Izuku is going to be facing a lot of suffering from the start." Toshinori said as he looked at Shota Aizawa's profile in the teacher directory.
'Punished with expulsion?! If you get last place in all eight tests?' Izuku thought as he somewhat couldn't believe what he was hearing. He made eye contact with Momo, and she shook her head, signalling that Aizawa wasn't being serious.
'Oh I get it. He's trying to decieve us so that we put in our absolute best effort and show what exactly our limits are. Pretty smart strategy.' Izuku thought as he looked in sympathy at the nervous faces of his classmates.
"We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students. Welcome to U.A.'s Hero Course!" Aizawa said as he moved his hair out of the way, showing his freaky smirking face.
Ochaco spoke up, "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 must bear the responsibility of balancing that unfairness. If you planned to go talk with your friends at the local McDonald's after school, then you're sadly mistaken. For the next three years, U.A. will do all it can to give you one hardship after another. Go beyond. Plus Ultra. Overcome it with all you've got!"
Tenya took out his water bottle and began to drink, 'This is too serious to be hazing. However, this is the best of the best. There is no choice but to do it.'
'Oh I can't wait to blast everything in my path!' Bakugo thought
"All right, demonstration is over. The real thing starts now…. "
[Test 1: 50-Meter Dash]
The first test was the 50-meter dash. Two students will line up and race each other at a time. A camera like computer machine will read and measure each student's time, and the student that gets the fastest time will get the highest score.
The first two students lined up ready to race are Tenya Iida and a green haired girl with large eyes with features similar to that of a frog.
"On your mark… Get set… " then the machine made the sound of a gunshot signalling the beginning of the race.
Tenya blasted off and was the first one to finish the race.
"3.04 seconds," the computer stated as soon as Tenya passed the finish line. Shortly after, the frog like girl was able to cross the finish line as well.
'For 50 meters, I can only go up to third gear… ' Iida thought.
{Name: Tenya Iida
Quirk: Engine- He has engines in his calves which allows him to move at super high speeds.}
"Well, he's like a fish in water. He's certainly in his element. However, speed isn't the only attribute that is essential for a Pro Hero. It'll be worth seeing what others do.
"Ribbit."
{Name: Tsuyu Asui
Quirk: Frog- Well, the name speaks for itself. She can do whatever a frog can!}
Tsuyu's 50-meter dash time was recorded as 5.58 seconds which is not too shabby.
"Lighten up my clothes and shoes... "
{Name: Ochaco Uraraka
Quirk: Zero Gravity- Anything she touches will become weightless, and she will have absolute control over. However, her drawback is that is she overuses her Qurik, she will begin to become nauseous.}
The machine made the gun shot sound as Ochaco and a blonde student with a large tail began to race. The boy with the tail crossed the finish line in 5.49 seconds while Ochaco did so in 7.15 seconds.
"Alright! That's faster than I was in junior high!"
"Hmph, everyone you're not being creative enough. I'll show you what it's like to be allowed to use your Quirk!"
{Name: Yuga Aoyama
Quirk: Navel Laser- He can shoot a laser from his bellybutton. But he's limited by the amount of time he can shoot continuously.}
"5.51 seconds."
"If I shoot for more than a second, I get a stomachache."
"What the heck," thought the various students of Class 1-A.
"Looking at the upper limit of your Quirks and the room for growth in each result, it becomes clear what you can and can't do." Aizawa said as he looked at the last two students getting ready to race. They were none other than Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo.
"On your mark… "
Izuku looked to his left and gave Bakugo a thumbs up, "Let's do our best Kaachan!"
Bakugo smirked, "Yeah, yeah. Just try not to fall too far behind me okay Deku!"
"Get set… "
Izuku called upon his Full Cowl mode as he decided to also use 1% in this test.
'That will connect to the creativity needed for you to survive,' Aizawa thought as the gun shot sound went off and both students blasted off.
"Explosive speed!" Bakugo shouted as he ignited his hands with explosives that allowed him to get a boost of speed.
"3.14 seconds"
Bakugo was shocked midway through the race as he saw that Izuku had already passed the finish line before him.
"4.13 seconds"
Bakugo finished the race shortly after.
{Name: Katsuki Bakugo
Quirk: Explosion- He can create explosions from the palms of his hands by using his sweat and nitro glycerin.}
"When I use both hands, the force disperses… " Bakugo looked towards Izuku in annoyance. 'He'd better than I thought. It looks like I'm going to have to bring my A game!'
'There are seven more tests. The more I use One For All, the more stamina it drains. Same goes for my Ki. So I'm going to have to use both Quirks wisely if I'm going to be consistent and efficient in the remaining tests.' Izuku thought as he felt the two energies circulating through his energy.
Aizawa stared at Izuku for a couple of seconds. He knew he was holding back a lot of power…
[Test 2: Grip Strength]
'Focus on the water in the glass cup… don't let it overflow… come on Izuku don't go overboard!' Izuku thought as he summoned 1% of One For All and gripped the device in his hand tightly.
*BEEP*
Izuku opened his eyes as he was shocked to see that his grip strength was 535 kilograms!
"Wow, I guess that weight training with Toshinori-Sensei really paid off.
"Woah, you got a monster high score just like Shoji! What do you two guys eat!?" Sero said to Izuku as he and Mineta were envious of Izuku's raw power. He looked over to see a student who was also about 6'2 with tentacle arms get a score of 540 kilograms. He was the only one to get higher than Izuku
[Test 3: Standing Long Jump]
Like Bakugo and Aoyama who went before him, Izuku was able to completely jump over the sand and land on the other side. He could've just flew over it, but he thought that was kind of cheating.
[Test 4: Repeated Side Steps]
Izuku used 1% of One For All and kept on side stepping nonstop, but after a while he decided to stop as it got kind of boring. He wanted to give others a chance to shine. The last person to go was Mineta and he was the only to get a higher score than Izuku since he used his purple balls to bounce him back and forth with little to no effort. Izuku sweatdropped at the display as he wasn't expecting that!
[Test 5: Ball Throw]
Since Izuku already did this exercise, he wasn't required to do it again. Bakugo got a score of 705.2 meters. He began to throw a tantrum complaining about how Deku shouldn't be above him in anything and that he was Number One! You know, the usual.
Momo created a cannon and was able to fire the softball about 767 meters. Izuku congratulated her and praised her Qurik as it was one of the most useful and versatile he has ever seen. She would surely make a good Pro Hero. Of course, Momo blushed at the praise but she did her best hide it.
When it was Ochaco's turn, she used her Zero Gravity Quirk on the ball and threw it as it kept on floating and floating until it became a twinkle star in the sky as it went into space.
Aizawa showed what his phone read, and everybody was aghast to see that it read a pink infinity symbol.
"Infinity?!" Class 1-A shouted
"That's amazing! She got infinity!"
"Well, I guess she got me beat in this test." Izuku said as he sweatdropped and chuckled.
[Test 6: Sit-ups]
Every stood there gobsmacked as they couldn't believe their eyes. Izuku was currently doing continuous sit ups without breaking a sweat, all anyone could see was a green blur going up and down over and over again. Everybody had long stopped doing their sets. Bakugo tried to keep up with Izuku but it was too much for him and he was forced to stop as his body could not go on. Izuku wasn't aware of this as he was deep in his thoughts. He was only using 1% of One For All which was practically nothing for him since it didn't consume much of his stamina. After a couple of more minutes, Aizawa decided that he's seen enough.
"Alright, Midoriya you can stop now. You've shown enough, I'll put you in the Number One spot for this activity." Aizawa said as he looked at his phone and put everybody in their spots for the sit-ups test.
"Huh?" Izuku said as he looked up to see everybody staring at him. He blushed in embarrassment as he rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Guess I kind of spaced out huh? Guess I'll stop at 10,000 reps"
'10,000 REPS?! HE'S INSANE'
[Test 7: Seated toe-touch]
Due to Izuku's high pain tolerance, and strong hamstring muscles, he was able to stretch the longest distance. One would think that his size and strength would prevent him from being able to be as flexible as he is, but All Might made sure during their training that Izuku was as fast and agile as he is strong. This allowed him to be flexible so that Villains wouldn't be able to exploit that kind of weakness.
"Okay just one more test and we're done!" Izuku said as he prepared for the next trial.
[Test 8: Long-distance run]
After about 15 minutes, the only two people that were still running around the field were Izuku and Momo. Since Izuku had only been using 1% of One For All throughout all of the tests, he had plenty of stamina left so he was easily able to keep running after everyone else who already tired themselves out. The reason Momo was still there was because she created a bicycle that allowed her to easily keep up with Izuku.
"You weren't kidding when you said you could create anything," Izuku said as Momo caught up with him.
"How in the world are you able to keep on running like that. Aren't you tired?" Momo asked in between breaths as she began sweating.
Izuku shook his head, "Not really. I train practically everyday for hours upon hours. So an exercise like this is really nothing for me. It's barely even a warm up for me."
After that, 15 more minutes passed and Momo was forced to stop as her legs couldn't keep on pedaling forever.
After Izuku stopped running, the entire class waited patiently for the results.
After arranging all of the spots, Aizawa looked at the class and said, "Okay I've got the results, but there seems to be a problem."
Aizawa's hair then began to go up as his eyes turned red and his scarf spread and launched towards Izuku and pulled him closer to Aizawa. Izuku was caught off guard as he sensed Aizawa's Power Level rise dramatically. Around Aizawa's neck was a pair of yellow goggles.
Izuku gasped as he saw them, "Those goggles… I see! You can erase other people's Quirks with your Quirk just by looking at them. The Erasure Hero: Eraser Head!"
"Eraser! I don't know him."
"I've heard of him. He's an underground Hero."
Unbeknownst to the students and teacher, All Might was hiding in the corner observing all of the events unfolding.
'He doesn't like media attention because he says it hinders his work. That's right, Young Midoriya. He and I don't get along.'
"From what I can tell, you have been holding back a lot of power haven't you?" Aizawa said as Izuku widened his eyes as he was shocked to find out that Aizawa was able to find out that he has not been putting in his all.
"The purpose of this Quirk assessment test is to gauge your abilities and figure out your limits so that we as teachers can help you improve and prepare you in order to become the best Pro Hero, you can possibly become. But instead, you decided to willingly hold back when your potential is much higher than what you have shown."
Aizawa then let go of Izuku as his eyes and hair went back to normal, "You scored the highest number of points in the Practical Exam history for a reason. Show us why exactly that is. Don't let your potential go to waste. That is not rational!"
Aizawa took out his eye drops and began to take care of his dry eyes, "Go ahead and redo all of the tests. And this time, don't hold back. If I catch you holding back even a little, then you will be the one going home." Aizawa said as Izuku widened his eyes.
Izuku walked over to the 50-meter dash site. 'Alright! From here on out, I'm going to have to use 20%!' Izuku thought as the green lightning grew bigger around him and his aura became denser.
"On your mark… get set…"
The gun shot sound went off as Izuku immediately went running faster than the naked eye can see. There was a sonic boom as strong winds blew everyone back a couple feet.
"0.26 seconds"
Aizawa smirked, "Now that's what I want to see."
Tenya was speechless, 'What in the world!? That's stupid fast! He was holding back that much power this entire time?'
The rest of Class 1-A had similar thoughts as they have never seen a kid their age go at such ridiculous speeds.
Izuku was also shocked at his own speed, "What the hell? That has to be some sort of record. I wasn't expecting that!"
After everybody calmed down and picked up their jaws from the floor, Izuku redid the grip strength test. When he used 20% of One For All, he completely broke the device as his grip strength was way too strong to be read.
Sero and Mineta cried out in shock, "WHAT! THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S POSSIBLE! HE'S NOT HUMAN!"
After that, Izuku did the standing long jump again. This time he decided to completely fly over it and land on the other side of the field.
For the repeated side steps, Izuku was moving so fast that the machine couldn't keep up and it said 'Error' and just counted Izuku's score as infinity. Let it be known that small sparks were seen coming from the machine...
Izuku began to scare some of his classmates, it seemed like there was no limit to his power.
For the ball throw, Aizawa decided that he needed to see more. "Midoriya, remember when you were able to completely vaporize the Zero Pointer during the Practical Exam? I want you to use that same power, but this time, don't pass out and completely break your arms. In order for you to become a Pro Hero, you can't always destroy your own body and think that every time somebody is going to save you. You have to learn to control your power. And if you can't… then well I guess we won't be seeing you in U.A. anymore." Aizawa said as he put the most pressure on Izuku that he possible could.
Tenya began to worry, "Why is Mr. Aizawa putting this much pressure on Midoriya? Hasn't he proved himself already?"
Bakugo replied with, "He better come up with something or else he's done for. He better not get expelled or I'll kill him!"
'Come on Izuku-kun, you got this! I believe in you!' Momo thought as she also began to worry for her friend.
'He said to show him the same power I used against the Zero Pointer. He must mean when I combined both my Ki and One For All into one. But if I do that, then I'll collapse. What do I do, what do I do?' Izuku thought nervously. Just then a light bulb lit up in his head as he finally got an idea.
"Alright, it's all or nothing then."
Izuku then took off his training weights which together weighs 50 tons. As soon as they hit the ground, it created a dust cloud and shook the earth that resembled a mini earthquake.
"What the hell is that!? Don't tell me he has had that on him all this time!" Mineta shouted as he and the rest of Class 1-A were wondering just how the hell Izuku was even able to move with all of that weight on him.
"Okay, now that I'm nice and loose, let's get this show on the road!" Izuku said as he activated Full Cowl 20%. He gripped the ball nice and hard prepared to throw it. "I have to give it my all. If not, then how can I dare call myself a Hero?!"
All Might saw what Izuku was about to do, "Hey, hey, is he serious?"
'I have to work a lot harder than everyone else if I want to become the Number One Hero! That's why, with all my strength… I'll do what I can right now!'
Right before Izuku threw the softball, his right index finger ignited with a yellow light which is a sign of him using his Ki. The energy mixed with the green electric power of One For All as the two energies focused on one point and combined to create an even greater power. Izuku yelled with all his might…
"DELAWARE SMASH!"
The ball launched into the air as it went so fast that it created a sonic boom that created a whirlwind that forced everybody present to cover their face so that dust doesn't get into their eyes.
'It doesn't hurt as much as before… '
Izuku's index finger was completely broken as it was now an ugly purple color.
When the ball finally hit the ground, Aizawa looked at his phone as it read 95 kilometers.
"Mr. Aizawa… "
Said teacher looked towards Izuku as he looked at him in the eye and smirked pridefully as he closed his fist with the broken finger.
"I can still move!"
Aizawa smiled in returned with his freaky face, "This kid!"
'I came because I was worried, but what the heck, young man?! You still couldn't control both One For All and Ki at the same time, but you also couldn't become incapacitated. So, you propelled the ball at the last point of contact by sending the power of One For All and your Ki at the same time to just your fingertip, minimizing the injury while maximizing the power… !' All Might thought as he felt so much pride in the fact that his Successor was able to defy the odds once again.
'What the heck, young man?! YOU'RE SO COOL!'
