Showcase Your Talents

"QUIRK APPREHENSION TEST?!"

After Aizawa's very shocking appearance, they all ended up in an open area wearing their UA gym uniforms. Inosuke's wrist was in Zenitsu's hand as he tried to pry the jacket open earlier.

Everyone around them was shocked. Zenitsu was scowling. Doing work on the first day of school? He was promised an easy going day! An orientation! Nothing more and nothing less! He should've expected this already with a guy like Aizawa. Inosuke was trying to get his wrist away from Zenitsu's fist as it was getting a bit too tight.

Tanjiro was smiling, happy at the new challenge. They didn't really get the chance to showcase their training before, right? He feels like this is also a way for Aizawa to figure out where they stand among the sea of quirked kids.

Oh, Tanjiro accepts your challenge, Aizawa.

"What about the opening ceremony?" The girl with brown hair earlier asked.

Big mistake.

Aizawa was still turned away from them and started to talk. Zenitsu's anger immediately melted as he shivered. Man, this guy really knows how to intimidate.

"If you want to be a hero," He starts. "There's no time for that kind of leisurely activity."

And he's right.

The others didn't really get that much of a chance to relax with mission after missions given to them non stop. They didn't even get to enjoy the towns they were in. Genya once passed up the opportunity to soak in a hot spring when his crow told him to run up ahead again. He was sore and grumpy after that.

There are some exclamations and gasps throughout the group at Aizawa paused.

Kanao observed them, her eyes flickering to people who are easy to beat, and to people who seemed powerful.

"UA is famous for its freedom and that applies to lecturers."

Aizawa turns around to face them. Casual and without that much movement. He constantly smells tired, as Tanjiro observes, but today there was a hint of playfulness, he was eager to know what these kids are made of.

"You all have done it in junior high, right?" Aizawa turned to look at 1 Z. "Well, almost all of you... So let me refresh your minds. Softball, standing long jump, 50 meter sprint, grip strength so on and so forth, a physical test without using quirks." He shows them a display off of his phone. "Japan is still using a standardised system to determine the average bar, but it is unfair. That said, this is the job for the Ministry of Education."

Tanjiro can't help but frown a bit. Aizawa was getting a bit too serious. He can smell underlying fear and anxiousness coming at him in waves, more so with Izuku.

"Bakugo." Aizawa calls. The blonde Zenitsu yelled at earlier looked up at him. "You're the 1st in the practical exam, right?"

Oh... So this was the guy Kayama was complaining about. Something about him lacking passion in the field.

"What's your record for softball in junior high?"

"67 meters."

"Now try using your quirk."

The six looked at each other. With their training, they aren't really entirely useless. They'll sit above someone with average scores, but can't really excel in others that much with people around them that seemed to have quirks fit for special things. They are still human after all.

So this was an added challenge.

Tanjiro believes they can do it, though.

"As long as you're in the circle, you can do whatever."
