You froze as everyone in class 1A stopped what they were doing and looked up at you. "Tch. Another extra." The ash-blond boy you saw on the bus grumbled.
You scanned around the students and you caught the eye of someone. You felt your heart beat a mile a minute. Could your eyes be deceiving you? No... There was no mistaking that bright red hair. Kirishima gave you a small smile.
"Are you going to sit down or stand up there, Kimura (L/N)?" The man, now out of the sleeping bag said.
You quickly hurried to an empty seat behind the green-haired boy that looked vaguely familiar. You realized it was the boy that Recovery Girl healed on exam day. He was in a much better condition now.
"I'm Shota Aizawa, your teacher." The students greeted Aizawa Sensei. You then crossed your arms and buried your head on the desk. It's the first day and I already made a fool of myself. We love that, you thought.
You looked back up and caught the eye of the green-haired boy in front of you. He saw you glaring at him and quickly turned back around, whimpering.
"What's your name, bud?" You whispered.
"Uh- D-Deku, I mean! Izuku Midoriya. You?"
"Alright Deku, my name is Akari Kimura."

You were now standing outside in UA's blue gym uniform. Aizawa Sensei was explaining UA's standards and how we have to show what we can do. Just great, you thought, another test?
You were standing next to a boy with a tail, presumably his quirk. Aizawa called up the ash-blond boy- Bakugou, up to test his quirk.
You could see Bakugou's smug grin as he wound up the ball. Before your eyes, he shot the ball into the sky. The force of his explosion sent shock waves through you and your ears rang. After you got your bearings you rolled your eyes.
Show off, you scoffed. The class oohed and ahhed at Bakugou. He marveled at the attention. Aizawa glared at the class.
"So, you think this is fun? You think we're here to game and play? Idiots." That shut the class up real quick.
"Today you will participate in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none-- and will be expelled immediately." You could tell your mouth was agape. You've got to be kidding me. A brown-haired girl piped up. "Hey, that's not fair! We just got here!"
"As I said, I decide how this class runs. Understand? If you have a problem with this, I suggest you leave." You looked around. No one did. You glanced at Kirishima, he looked deep in thought. You wondered how he'd hold up.
The first test was a running one. The brown-haired girl who you now know was Ochaco Uraraka, touched her shoes and clothes. Her quirk was Zero Gravity, which you thought sounded OP.
Others started using their quirk, and one that caught your eye was Aoyama, who could shoot a laser out of his belly button, similar to your quirk. He used his quirk to propel himself backward and cross the line in record time. That gave you an idea.
You went up to the line and turned around and noticed Kirishima was next to you, he was gonna race with you. "Hey, rocky," you smiled, "long time no see."
"Kimura, I can't believe you made it."
"Me neither, and, for your information, I'm gonna beat you." You said, smirking.
"Oh? We'll see about that." He said, getting into a runner's position and hardening his calves.
You got into position yourself and outstretched your arms, angling them to the ground slightly. "Runners on your mark, ready, go!"
Bright white light materialized and shot you backward. You were slightly in the air so friction wouldn't slow you down.
You were way ahead of Kirishima and you could see his surprised expression, his mouth slightly open. You winked at him.
"Three-point two-five seconds." The droid recorded. Shortly after Kirishima came running. "Four-point six-eight seconds."
"Damn, Kimura. I didn't expect that."
"Eh, I know a thing or two. Good job, Eijirou."
You two went to wait for the others to finish their race. You saw Bakugou using his own quirk to propel himself forward.
"He seems so stuck up, no?" Kirishima said. You crossed your arms.
"Definitely, he's the type to stub his toe and blame the nearest person."
Kirishima laughed at that. You realized you loved his laugh.
For the rest of the class, the students underwent test after test. Your quirk managed to help you get a decent place, at least you wouldn't be last.
For the long jump, you angled your beams down to shoot you in an arch. For the ball throw, you couldn't use your quirk because it would turn the ball to ashes, so you used your regular strength. It was Deku's turn up next, and you were curious to see what his quirk was.
Tension built up as Deku wound up to throw the ball, and the ball flew... Thirty-six meters.
"...Well that was anticlimatic," Kirishima said with his hands on his hips.
"Tell me about it..." You said still trying to figure out what went wrong. You then saw Aizawa, his scarf floating around him. What the...?
"I erased your quirk," Aizawa said. Damn, you thought. So his quirk is erasure.
"You're not ready, you don't have control over your power. You were planning on hurting yourself again, weren't you, Izuku?"
"I-I-"
Aizawa used his scarf to wrap Deku.
"You're worthless if you can only throw one punch before breaking down. Sorry, Midoriya, with your quirk, there's no way you can become a hero." Aizawa made sure Deku processed what he said before he let him go.
"I returned your impractical quirk. Take your final throw, get it over with." Aizawa walked back and Deku hung his head.
Then, out of nowhere, Deku started winding up again, and the ball didn't shoot as much as blast out of his damn hand. "SMASH!"
You took a step back, you couldn't even see the ball anymore. Damn. He was still standing.
You looked up at Kirishima and, unsurprisingly, he was completely in awe.
You looked back to Midoriya and smirked to yourself. Huh. Let the games begin.
