𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 for Kimiko who passed them with flying colors. The sit-ups and seated toe-touch were basic movements everyone who had done physical activities before did for stretching. As for the long-distance run, the girl's quirk has come quite handy, especially for the last one hundred meters. Which helped her finish the run among the top five.

Now, Kimiko is stretching her arms above her head, letting out a long yawn. This quirk assessment test may have been easy for the redhead, but using her quirk for so long exhausted her. The fatigue of the day's activities was catching up with her, and she was so ready to head back home and drop on her tatami floor.

As her eyes lazily scanned the group, she noticed Izuku standing off to the side, clutching his injured hand with a pained expression on his face. Her yawn abruptly ended, and she furrowed her brows slightly. Looking at his swollen and angry purple-blue-colored finger, she can clearly say that the bones of the finger are completely and utterly broken.

Raising an eyebrow, she started to walk toward him. "Oi, Midoriya," she called out, her voice laced with a hint of nonchalance to mask her concern. "You should probably get that looked at. You don't wanna start your first day with a permanent injury, right?" she finished, trying to sound casual.

Izuku looked up at her, startled for a moment before offering a small, grateful smile. "Y- yeah... I am gonna do that," he replied, his voice a bit strained as he tried to manage the pain. "The thing is... I don't know if I am staying here for long enough to have the right to go to Recovery Girl."

Kimiko's eyes narrowed, her mind racing to process his words. "Huh? Of course, you're staying," she said, her tone firm. "The hell are you talking about?"

The greenette shook his head, the doubt still lingering. "It's just... the last one who will come last after the eight tests will be expelled. And I- I didn't do or get a score extraordinary or impressive except for the softball throw." He shut his eyes tightly. "I will be expelled before even starting studying."

The redhead's eyes widened in disbelief at Izuku's words. What is wrong with that guy? A scowl quickly formed on her face as she processed what he had just said. "That's the dumbest thing I've heard all day," she said, her voice laced with annoyance.

Izuku flinched slightly at her harsh tone, but Kimiko wasn't done. "Seriously, what's wrong with you?"

Without giving him time to answer or explain himself, she forcibly grabbed his forearm and made him turn so that the both of them were facing a tired Aizawa who still had his eyes on the screen's device. She then pointed a discreet finger at him. "That man." Her voice was low but steady so he was the only one to hear her next words. "Will not be expelling anyone."

Izuku blinked, caught off guard by her sudden action and the certainty in her words. "What?" He glanced from Kimiko to Aizawa, who seemed completely uninterested in their conversation, his focus entirely on the device in his hand.

"Everyone here has a potential. Whether it has shown today or not doesn't matter." Unconsciously, green eyes darted at his childhood friends, Uraraka, and Iida who was conversing with a black-haired girl. "As a pro-hero, Aizawa-sensei is supposed to see it. If he ends up expelling someone nonetheless, that means he's a shitty teacher and a more shitty hero who doesn't even deserve to be called a hero."
