Tests Begin

"You can't send one of us home!" Says the girl with the anti-gravity quirk. Whats her name again? Ochaco, right? "I mean, we just got here. Even if it wasn't the first day, that isn't fair."

"Nothing in life is fair, my dear." I say. They all look at me. "Think about natural disasters, or villains."

"Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities." Shota adds. "The world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to try to combat that unfairness. If you wanna be a pro, you're gonna have to push yourself to the brink. For the next three years, UA will throw one terrible hardship after another at you."

"That's right!" I shout. "You gotta go beyond. Plus Ultra-style!" I smile and give a thumbs up to the students.

"Show me it's no mistake that you're here." Shota tells them. He pauses for a few seconds before speaking again. "Now then, we're just wasting time by talking. Let the games begin." 

"First up is the 50-meter dash." I inform everyone. We head over to the two running lanes where a measuring device has already been set up. I stand behind it and turn it on. As it's booting up Shota hands me his phone. I look at all the names of the students, and I pick the first two students for the first race. "First two students will be Tenya Iida and Tsuyu Asui." I tell them. The students get to their marks as the measuring device is finally ready.

"Runners, on your marks, ready..." Then the measuring device makes a sound like a gunshot and the students are off. "3.04 seconds." The device says as Tenya crosses the line.

"Well, he's definitely in his element," Shota says from my left. He's recording all of the results on his phone. "But speed won't help him in every test."

"5.58 seconds." The device says for the other student. Shota shows me his phone again for me to call out the next two students.

"Ochako Uraraka and Mashirao Ojiro are next." I announce. The two of them get ready. When the gunshot sound rings out Mashirao finishes in 5.49 seconds and Ochaco finishes in 7.15 seconds. "They aren't doing too bad." I say to Shota.

"Don't get too excited." He responds. "Only five of the students have done anything yet."

"I guess I'm just an optimist." I smile at him. I look at the roster again and call out two more names. "Yuga Aoyama and Mina Ashido." Mina gets set, but Yuga turns around having his back face the track. As the gunshot rings out he jumps up and shoots a laser from his belt. It propels him about half way before his laser dissipates. He shoots the laser again and finishes at 5.51 seconds as does Mina. Interesting. "Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo." I cross my fingers as the two boys step up to the two lanes. Come on little Midoriya. I believe in you. Katsuki uses the explosions from his hands as a boost to his running and finishes at 4.13 seconds. Izuku finishes at 7.02 seconds. It's a good try. I think as I smile at the boy. The rest of the students do great, and I think I've memorized all of their names. It's a bit difficult with 20 students in the class, but I think I can manage.

The second test is grip strength. Some of the students group up and share the devices. The stand out student is Mezo Shoji with 540 kilograms. Poor Izuku wasn't even able to go past 60. Third test is the standing long jump, and little Midoriya doesn't do too great with this one either. Fourth test is repeated side steps, followed by the ball throw. Ochaco was amazing at this. Her distance couldn't really be calculated by the phone so the distance recorded was infinity. All of the other students were amazed.

Izuku is the last to do this test. Come on kid. you need to do something to stand out. Show Shota what you can do, but just a taste or you won't be able to finish the rest of the tests. He looks at the ball before finally deciding to throw it. I see something happen to his entire arm and I get worried. His throw, however, doesn't get too much traction and only makes it 46 meters. I'm shocked, but I realize what happened. I send a glare at Shota, but he's not paying attention to me.

"Hey, what are you doing?" I ask him. He doesn't answer me as he walks closer to Izuku. I follow him.

"I erased your quirk." He tells the boy and the rest of us. The students are surprised at the different look Shota has right now. His scarf is floating around him and his hair is standing on end. "The judges for this exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school."

"Shota." I whisper sharply at him. "Stop this."

"Wait, you did what to my-" Izuku begins to ask, but stops himself when he notices Shota's goggles. "Ah! Those goggles. I know you! How did I not put two and two together when miss Yagi said you were partners?" He must have been too worried about the exams today to realize. "You can look at someone and cancel out their powers. The Erasure Hero: Eraser Head." The rest of the students seem to not know what Izuku is talking about. I guess that makes sense. Shota doesn't like the media at all.

"You're not ready." Shota tells little Midoriya. "You don't have control over your power. Were you planning to break your bones again?" He probably was. That's the only part of Shota using his quirk on the kid that I don't mind. He can't keep breaking himself. "Counting on someone else to save your useless body?"

"No!" Midoriya shouts in response. "That's not what I was trying to do!" Shota grabs the end of his scarf and throws it around the kid.

"Shota." I scold again, but he just pulls the kid closer.

"No matter what your intensions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle." Shota tells him as he ignores me. "You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know." He's talking about my brother, and I'm getting pissed now. "One who saved a thousand people by himself and became a legend. But even with that drive, you're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down. Sorry, Midoriya. With your power, there's no way you can become a hero." That's the last straw. I whistle to distract Shota, causing him to blink. I didn't use my quirk, but I could have been.

"Enough!" I shout at him, again not using my quirk. I glare at Shota, and he glares back. "What you say may be true, but he was accepted here for a reason." I look to young Midoriya. "You have your quirk back." I tell him as I hold out another softball to him. "Take your final throw." As Izuku grabs the ball from my hand Shota walks away.

"Hurry and get it over with." I turn and glare daggers at him before turning back to Izuku.

"I tend to show favoritism." I tell the boy. He looks up at me with slight surprise. "It's why I usually let him do what he likes on the first day. If it were my decision, you'd all be at that orientation right now." I sigh. "He's trying to get you all to work as hard as possible to make you all better. So try your hardest to throw the ball without breaking your arm, kid. I'm rootin' for ya." I smile and give him a thumbs up. He smiles back at me.

"You and All Might really do act alike." He tells me.

"I've looked up to him my whole life." I tell him. "I guess some things just rubbed off on me." I laugh. "Alright, time to prove yourself." With that I walk back to where Shota is standing.

"What did you say to him?" He asks me.

"None of your business." I respond coldly. I cross my arms over my chest and watch in anticipation. We all watch as Izuku throws the softball. I look closely and see that he's focusing all of his power into one finger tip. Holy crap. Is he really doing this?

"Smash!" He yells as the ball is propelled forward. The ball lands and I look over at Shota's phone. "Mr. Aizawa." Shota and I look up at the kid. "You see? I'm still standing."

"He only broke his finger." I smile.

"This kid..." Shota says not finishing his thought. I know what that means. He's impressed, at least a little bit. I give little Midoriya a thumbs up. I know why Toshinori picked this kid now. He's so much like him back then, it's kind of crazy.

A/N: What do you think of the teaching tension? Their teaching styles are so different, but if my OC was a teacher on her own she would probably pass everyone. Haha. The easiest teacher, the nicest teacher, easy A class teacher. Haha. Well, that's why she has Aizawa.
