Whey Music

When Monoma was called out of class, it was a surprise to say the least. He had been enjoying the lesson on... actually he wasn't paying any attention. He didn't even know what class he was in. Still, sitting in a classroom surrounded by his friends was better than having Aizawa-sensei and All Might escort him to an unknown location.

Did they know? Had they figured him out? Were they going to make him admit that he didn't actually hate Class 1-A?

His confusion doubled when he was brought to training Gym Gamma. Were the teachers going to explain anything to him or let him continue to wonder? Neither teacher was particularly intimidating quirkwise. All Might had been retired ever since Kamino, and he always looked pale and gaunt nowadays. Aizawa was definitely scary in disposition, but his quirk alone couldn't do much to Monoma if he wasn't using someone else's quirk. If he cared even a little bit more, he may have wondered what would happen if he copied Aizawa's quirk and they used it at the same time.

Why was he thinking of battle tactics? These were his teachers. Well, not his teachers, but teachers at his school nonetheless. Just as he was about to ask what the heck they wanted from him, All Might dragged him over to a corner of the room.

"I know you must be really confused right now," All Might started, "so I'll do my best to explain. I'm sure you've heard the rumor of there being a traitor in Yueii. Before you ask, no, this is not the school interrogating you. The staff has decided to comb through the students one class at a time. This isn't just about looking for an impostor either. We're trying to learn more about the students and their limitations. We're doing both a verbal questioning and a quirk investigation, both because a traitor could be lying about something, and because some students may not be completely honest about their quirk's effects. We were hoping you'd be willing to help us. You'll surely receive a reward for your assistance."

"What do you need from me?"

"We need you to copy each student's quirk and report anything worth mentioning to us. We'll have you read their quirk description and then report anything that doesn't quite fit."

"Who are we starting with?"

"Class 1-A."

"Hah! Of course Class 1-A would be the most suspicious!"

"That's not what I was saying... Monoma, this is not something to be taken lightly. Can I count on you?"

Monoma dropped his (teasing? He thought it was teasing, but other people seemed to get annoyed.) attitude immediately. "Yes sir."

The order was pretty random, at least to Monoma. The teachers decided to keep everyone on edge by calling names in order of midterm rankings.

After someone was done with questioning, they would come out to the gym to get tapped by Monoma. He would then do whatever the teachers asked of him for that person's quirk.

Most things went exactly as planned. Nothing out of the ordinary. Yaomomo and Iida went by smoothly.

The second he touched Bakugo he regretted it. He was covered in sweat. It was disgusting. He also discovered that his arms hurt after he let off a large explosion. It didn't bother him too much. He was just glad Aizawa let him take a short break to shower.

For some reason he couldn't copy Midoriya's quirk. All Might carted him away before anyone could think too much about that, though.

Todoroki, Tsu, Jiro, and Ojiro were all exactly like their descriptions said they would be. Nothing was even worth saying about them.

"I am NOT copying that disgusting grape. You know what his quirk is. There's no other way to use it. There's no need for me. Also I refuse."

The teachers just shrugged.
