Seventh Test: Ball throw

Uraraka managed to best everyone as her quirk manipulated the ball to be thrown to infinity. I felt stunned that she was able to do that so easily.

I felt the weight of the classes now.
Against me and Midoriya, We were last.

First test... I did better.
Second test... He did better.
Third test... I did better.
Fouth test... I did better.
Fifth test... A tie
Sixth test... A tie.
Now, this...

Midoriya... This is it. Give it everything you've got.

He stood in the centre of the pitch with the ball in hand. He stared at it anxiously. A world of thoughts could be seen just by looking at his eyes.

He was worried.

If he beat me in the second test, then that means he can throw better. Which gives him a better chance of winning. I know he cleared that beach with All Might. I don't know why but something about him has changed. What happened Midoriya?

I started to chew at my nail once again this time chipping it and spitting the broken piece to the ground. Then immediately diving back in to chew again.

If I used all my strength, I could get in a good couple of yards. Then again, Midoriya will also use all his strength. We've both been training, I've been doing it longer than him but he's been more extreme. What level does that make him? Time versus intensity? Midoriya... You're quite a guy...

"He's a quirkless small fry, you know," Bakugo's eyes snapped to my own, "Him and Nomi over there."

"Quirkless? Are you not aware of what he did in the entrance exam?"

Huh? What did Lida say? Is he denying Bakugo and saying something happened to Midoriya?

"Huh?"

"What are you talking about Lida?"
I spoke, now stepping in the conversation.

" Bakugo and I have known Midoriya since preschool, he's never had a quirk. What happened?"

"Shut up Nomi, I was gonna ask!"

We stared at Midoriya, he stood frozen in the spot still deep in thought. He flinched.

My eyes widened at the scene displayed in front of us.

For a second I wondered if Midoriya was bleeding, his hand had deep streaks and lines flowing, it glittered powerfully, almost resembling streaks of running blood.

Midoriya...?

He threw the ball at what seemed like incredible power but in an instant, the ball shoot its shot by only forty-six meters.

What happened back there? Were my eyes playing tricks on me?

"Midoriya... " I tried to yell but the words only rolled off my tongue in a whisper to myself.

"I erased your quirk," Aizawa spoke. Unbelievably his scarf wasn't a scarf at all but moving cloth that seemed to be manipulated by him.

Quirk? What is he even talking about? Midoriya told me himself! All these years! He's never shown signs, said anything or even fought back using a quirk! Midoriya... Have you been lying? Does it have something to do with All Might? Are you like- like... Midoriya...

Aizawa's hair floated weightlessly, instantly I glanced at Uraraka but found she was too far to use her quirk.

This must be Mr Aizawa's quirk then...
