Pick A Side (MHA X HxH)

Gon kept his eyes on Bakugou, he was going to aim right behind him. So he won't back out if he sees I'm super strong, I want this fight so bad! And then he can't be mad when I follow him around! "4.13 seconds" He set his jaw. 5 seconds, you got this. When it was his turn, he was alone. There were an uneven amount of students so he didn't have someone to run with. "Ready" Gon bounced a little. "Get set" Gon's eyes gleamed. "Go!" He counted the seconds as he ran, and was slightly irritated at himself at the result. "4.70 seconds" Damn it! But a few of the people in his class murmured in approval. Oh yeah, I didn't use my quirk. Their probably wondering why I didn't use any enhancements. He bounced back over to wait, and Izuku sighed. "Your fast" He nudged his shoulder. "It's because I like to exercise so I do it often, maybe I'll start going with you on morning runs" He gulped. "I-I'll train differently ok?" He shrugged. "Suit yourself"

Next was grip strength, that one was going to prove to be an issue. He looked nervously over at the guy with many arms, he got about 550 Kilograms. "Wow, you hit 540 Kilograms? Your such a beast!" Sero said. He concentrated, and he heard a cracking sound. Damn it! half the people in the room looked over at him and his demolished grip strength tester. He laughed nervously. "Oops?" Eraserhead walked over and checked his score, his eyebrows raised at the number. "979? Must've been more since it broke" He muttered. Gon rubbed the back of his head with a nervous smile and he sighed tiredly. "Can I try again?" He blinked. "Why?" Gon was about to speak when he shrugged and gave him another. This time he didn't break it, he got 205KGs. He held it out for him to inspect and he narrowed his eyes for a second, before writing down the score. He probably knows I'm holding back, but I really don't want to discourage my classmates. Kirishima walked over with an awed look. "Woah man! You totally crushed that thing!" He shrugged. "Sometimes my quirk...does that. I had to get a new one" He lied. Then Gon beamed. "C'mon, it's time for the next test!"

For the standing long jump, he decided to place halfway. Since he'd gotten so much on the last test he'd go easy. The one after that was repeated sidesteps, he kind of just pretended to try hard. Eraserhead was staring at him the entire time. Then there were the ball throws. This one girl got infinity, Gon kind of wanted that infinity sign. Aw man, I'll never get it. A few other people threw, so far The infinity girl got in first place, and Bakugou got in second. Nobody else even came close to their scores. Izuku was up next, he was looking really tense. Gon tapped him on the shoulder. "hey" he whispered. He looked back with a slightly scared expression. Gon gave him a smile. "You can do it" He nodded, then walked up to the circle. "Hey Gon?" He blinked over his shoulder at Kirishima, then walked over. "Yeah?" He thought for a moment. "I've noticed how you talk to that green haired guy often. Is he your brother or something?" Gon blinked. "I-" He frowned slightly. "Not that I'm aware of? But I mean...I never knew my mother so maybe-" Kirishima shook his head. "Alright, but I was just curious" He shrugged. "One day I was moving trash on a beach when he and his teacher came out to do the same. Turns out they were doing it as training, I live around there so we talk a whole bunch" Then he grinned. "He's gonna blow your mind" Kirishima looked doubtful. "No offense, but he hasn't gotten any sort of impressive score. And he hasn't been using his quirk"

Gon grabbed his arm, a gleam in his eyes. "Trust me" He whispered. Kirishima looked over to where Eraserhead currently had Izuku wrapped up, talking to him about how if he broke after one punch he'd be useless in battle. Gon could only hear it because he had sharp ears, but it made him growl a little. "Something wrong?" Gon huffed. "I have sharp ears. Mr. Eraserhead told Izu that he couldn't be a hero because his quirk's too self destructive." Kirishima's eyes widened. "It hurts him to use it?" Gon sighed. "His body's not used to his quirk yet, but it's super powerful. Man, screw you Mr. Eraserhead if you think he won't make a good hero" Gon muttered the last part unhappily. He started to throw again, and Gon activated Gyo to see he was concentrating all his explosive power on his finger. "Damn it Izu's gonna break his finger" Kirishima gaped at the air pressure and the small boom, the ball went soaring away. Gon let go and leapt into the air. "YOU GO IZU! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!" Izuku looked over at him, then smiled and clenched his fist. "Mr. Aizawa, I can still stand" He said with determination. YES! Kirishima grabbed his arm. "Holy crap..."
