The unlikely couple

Chapter 9: First day test

(A/N: I hope you enjoy!)

Izuku POV

I woke up in my new dorm room. It was a little weird to be here with a bunch of people I hardly knew at all. But I was here with her. I've pretty much accepted that I've got a crush on Izumi at this point. But she probably doesn't like me back that way.

But if I get to be there with her as she achieves her dream of being a hero, that's enough for me. I got out of my bed to get changed for the first day of school. I was kind of nervous.

After getting changed, I went downstairs to make myself some breakfast. In the common room, I saw some of my new classmates. They were sitting on the couches talking to each other. A few of them looked familiar from the exam.

I went into the kitchen and began to make something simple. I knew I didn't have a lot of time before class began.

Izumi POV

I woke up and stretched out my arms. I looked down at the plushie Izuku won for me. It was a cute little green dragon. Izuku won it for me at the amusement park. I picked it up and hugged it a bit tighter. "I wish this was him."

I got out of bed and began to get dressed. I looked over myself to see anything wrong with my clothes and made my way downstairs. I heard my stomach growling so I went into the kitchen to make myself some toast before heading to class.

Wandering through the halls, I was having a hard time finding my class. Then I saw a large door that said 1-A and quickly ate the rest of my toast. I reached for the door but stopped when I heard yelling. "Get your feet off of the desk! It is disrespecting to the people who crafted it and the people who came before us!"

I recognized that voice from the exam. "FUCK OFF FOUREYES!"

'Oh no, Ka- er, Bakugou is in my class. Why didn't I see him yesterday when we were moving in?'

I slowly opened the door and peeked inside. I saw that blue haired kid standing over Bakugou, chopping his hand. Looking around the room, I saw Izuku sitting next to an open desk, watching the whole thing.

I hurried and opened the door, running over to the open desk, sitting down. "Oh, morning Izumi."

"M-morning I-Izuku." I looked over at Bakugou and saw him glaring at me. I quickly looked away. I saw Izuku looking over towards Bakugou.

"Everyone, sit down and shut up. I looked at the door, seeing a man inside of a sleeping bag, slurping applesauce out of a pouch. Everyone scrambled to their seats as the man unzipped his sleeping bag. "It took you all too long. That's something we need to work on. Now, all of you, get to the changing rooms and change into these."

He pulled out a stack of gym clothes from his sleeping bag... somehow, setting them on the podium at the front of the room.

I was standing in a big field with everyone else as Aizawa looked at us. "IzukuYagi, how far could you throw a ball in high school?"

"76 meters."

He pulled a ball out of his pocket and tossed it to Izuku. "Throw this as far as you can with your quirk and stay in the circle."

Izuku caught the ball and stepped into the circle. As I watched him prepare to throw, someone behind me spoke to me. "Hey, you have a crush on him, don't you?"

I began to blush like crazy. I turned around and covered the girl's mouth. "D-don't say things like that!" I whisper shouted.

The pink skinned girl giggled at my response. "So I'm right~."

Before I could say anything, a strong wind pushed me from behind. I looked back and saw Izuku had thrown the ball flying away.

I watched in awe as the ball kept flying further and further away before eventually disappearing over the horizon. Everyone looked at Mr Aizawa as he watched his phone. He turned it around showing everyone the screen.

"2678 meters?" The class shouted. I wasn't very surprised but I was happy he could hit such a high number.

He walked back over to the class and I smiled at him. "G-good job, Izuku."

He smiled at me. "Thanks Izumi. I know you can do great too. Just got to focus."

I got serious and nodded. "R-right. Focus. Don't go over my limit."

——

We had to do a lot of different tests to see how creative we can be with our quirks. Aizawa threatened to expel anyone who got last in all of the tests which just made me more nervous.

But Izuku noticed and managed to keep me on track. I had done pretty good through most of the tests. We eventually made it to the ball throw test.

It was my turn and I knew I had to give it my all for this one. I gripped the ball tight and pulled my arm back before going to throw the ball as hard as I could using One for All.

But the ball didn't go that far. I looked at my hands, confused why my quirk didn't work. But I was stopped when a gray scarf wrapped around me. "You were about to break yourself, weren't you?"

I looked over and saw Mr Aizawa's eyes were glowing red as his hair began floating. He pulled me in close to him, staring at me, making me feel more scared than I have in a while.

"If breaking yourself is what you fall back on when you feel like you're backed into a corner, you shouldn't be here." I looked down, thinking about what he was saying. "How can you do anything when you need someone to come save you like Yagi did during the exam? He won't always be there to save you. So step up or get out." He let me go and deactivated his quirk. "There, your quirk has been returned. Throw the ball again and this time, don't break yourself."

I grabbed the ball before walking back into the circle. I stared at the ball thinking. I closed my eyes, going through the different things I could do. I felt something land on my shoulder, it kind of felt like a hand, giving me the confidence I needed. "Do it."

I opened my eyes and threw the ball, using the very limit my body could handle before it broke and the ball went flying through the sky. I began to pant hard, feeling the exhaustion of using One for All beginning to set in. I looked at Mr Aizawa and smiled. "Mr Aizawa, Sir, I can still *pant* fight."

He seemed to smile at that and I went back to standing next to Izuku.

Izuku POV

'What was that?' I saw... something behind Izumi right before she threw the ball. It kind of looked like the visage of a tall woman but she was completely covered in a smoky, wispy substance. She had put her hand on her shoulder right before Izumi threw the ball. 'Was that... no, it couldn't be.'

I felt One for All inside of me reacting to the memory. 'A previous user?'
