Element

22: Mr. Aizawa Tries to Murder Us

Your POV

Mr. Aizawa put us straight to work.

Everyone was pushing their Quirks to their limit.

For Bakugo, that meant dunking his hands in boiling water, and repeatedly creating explosions upwards. (Lots of yelling went with it.)

Sero was continuously producing tape that came down in streamers. Kirishima and Ojiro were hitting each other to increase the strength of their skin and tail respectively. Kaminari was running his electricity through a high voltage battery. Aoyama was repeatedly shooting his navel laser.

Tokoyami was secluded in a cave, learning to control Dark Shadow in its most chaotic state.

I felt the most bad for him. That seemed terrifying.

Ochaco was rolling down a hill in a giant hamster ball. Iida was running laps around everyone. Tsu was climbing up a cliff side using her tongue. Sato was eating sugar while lifting weights, and Momo was eating as well, while producing little Russian nesting dolls. Kyoka was hitting her earphone jacks against rock to enhance them. Mina was continuously corroding the mountain side. Mineta was pulling ball after ball from his head. Shoji was producing extra limbs in order to hunt down Hagakure, who in turn was practicing her stealth. Deku was simply working out in order to increase his overall body strength.

Todoroki was in a tub full of water, creating alternating rings of fire and ice in order to regulate the water temperature.

Despite my best efforts, I couldn't help but to look his way. Even though he was probably exhausted, he still managed to look good.

His tank top perfectly showed off his toned arms, and his damp hair drooped around his face messily. Something about his intense focus, and the little gasps he let out while concentrating made my face grow hot.

Saying I didn't find him attractive would be a lie. I couldn't even pretend anymore.

I only got to watch all of my classmates for a moment before Mr. Aizawa called me over to the side, away from the rest of them.

"I want you to practice using Aether here, so I can erase your Quirk if anything goes wrong." He said, putting on his goggles.

I nodded.

"Let's start easy. Try making that rock disappear."

He gestured to a rock on the ground that was no bigger than my fist.

I stepped closer to it, and stretched my hand out.

I've never used Aether on command before. Let's see if it works.

I concentrated with all my might on the rock, willing it to disappear.

I felt a surge of energy and—

CRACK!

The rock split into smaller pieces.

Nope. I had just used Earth manipulation. Perhaps this was going to be harder than I thought.

After a few more tries, Mr. Aizawa seemed unconvinced I could use Aether at all. He also had to see to other matters, so he gave me a new task. I was to use all four elements to create a massive tornado around me, and keep it going for as long as I could.

I started by creating the base with just wind, and it had around a 20 foot diameter. I added in fire, then water, and finally, pieces of rock. Soon, I was standing in the middle of a swirl of color, the strong winds blocking out any other noise, and flecks of dirt hitting my face.

It was fine at first, but after a couple of minutes, I started to feel it. I had never kept such a large tornado going for so long. And keeping all four elements in sync was especially tricky. It took every ounce of my concentration, and sapped my energy extremely quickly.
