Quirkless but not worthless

UA

Red POV

It was the first day of my new school, I woke up fast and got dressed into the uniform.

"Ready for school?" Jack asked looking very tired as he stumbled to the door.

"I think the better question is, are YOU fit for school?" I joked helping him get his balance as we left the door.
He needs to get better sleeping habits...
I-I don't think s-sleeping habits are t-the problem...
That's what four years in a lab does to you.
'Not us! Lab or not we're super mentally stable!'
Shut up Gold.

The walk to the train station wasn't to long but the ride on it was awkward. It was made even worse by Mei and Akai rambling on about inventions, which caused odd glances from a few random people.

When we left both me and Jack just ran to escape their never ending energy and weirdness. Me and Jack stood just outside of the gates to the H shaped school, UA.
"I think it would be best to keep being quirkless a secret for as long as possible to avoid... Unnecessary attention..." I warned and Jack nodded in understanding before we entered the school, quickly finding our class.
The doors here are huge!
A-as to b-be expected, f-for the g-giant quirks.

We entered the room which only had a few students in, Iida Tenya being one of them and Jack began to talk with them. I looked at the other students, one with long black hair, one with pink hair and skin and another who had a bird head. Two odd looking quirks that should take attention off my lack of one...

I took a seat at the back corner to avoid the students, I wasn't much for talking. I watched carefully at each student who entered while at the same time trying not to stand out. I managed to avoid the other students until the teacher arrived and gave us sport uniforms and left.
Wait... Mr Aizawa!?

I followed the crowd to the changing rooms and got changed as far away from everyone as possible. As much as I didn't want to be the antisocial one I had too in order for me to observe and pick out the people to be friends with and who to avoid.

I waited for the last few people to leave and I followed them to an open space with different markings for sports and machines that measure how well they did.
The teacher waited for us before he started telling us that we had a quirk assessment test.
Makes sense, he needs to see how well we can use our quirks in different areas.
'No quirk remember?'
The teacher also added that the person who was last in performance would be expelled just because someone said it seemed fun.

First test, 50 meter sprint.

I was last along with Jack, we both knew we wasn't aloud our gadgets in the class without special permission due to the hero course already getting combat training.

I reacted first to the gun shot meaning go. Both me and Jack was around the same running speed but he would often be faster anyway. Jack finished at 4.3 seconds and I finished at 4.4 seconds just being beaten by him.

The rest of the tests seemed to fly by as me and Jack got similar results with me beating him in most power related sport but losing at speed.

The final test was softball throwing, which I didn't really mind but it wasn't my favorite sport.

Jack went before me, he managed to throw at 128 meters which was pretty impressive for a quirkless, almost genetically perfect or not.

When my throw came I took a deep breath and reeled back, then swung as hard as I could, my arm went numb and my vision dark. The only thing I could hear over the sound of blood rushing around my body was, 228 meters. What? That can't be right, me and Jack are nearly athletically identical but I scored a hundred meters more? Wait... Exactly a hundred meters more?

I looked at where I had thrown to see red splatters across the ground, I look at my arm and it was also covered in red splatters. This is... Blood?
M-maybe we should g-go to first a-aid...
But its fully painless, it can't be blood.

I inspect the red liquid closer, it felt the same as blood, looked the same, moved the same and even tasted like blood, the only difference is that it came from no where.

"Red, are you OK!?" Jack asked in worry, seeing the "blood" splattered everywhere.

"I'm fine don't worry about it. But what is this stuff? It can't be blood." I told him shacking my arm. "Blood doesn't stick like this." I flicked my arm to emphasise my point from non of the liquid coming off.

Jack dragged a finger across the blood like substance and it slid off his finger faster then water would. "Seems to only stick to you. It's like ice for me, its super-" Jack was cut off by him slipping on a puddle of it. "Slippery..."

I left the puddles as we walked to the score board, I looked at last and saw it wasn't me or Jack so I just left to get cleaned up.
No matter how much I tried the liquid wouldn't come off and it seemed to react to my intense scrubbing as it became slightly spiky but what made it weirder was when I tried to touch the spikes they vanished until I moved away.
Parasite...
I sighed before getting changed back into my uniform and I rolled up the sleeve so I could at least make sure it doesn't spread without me knowing.
M-maybe it's a quirk? Mr A-Aizawa can e-erase them so t-that might w-work.
Or we could see if its useful.
'What about Akamei?'

I started off with going to Mr Aizawa before the next lesson. "Mr Aizawa, this thing on my arm won't go away and I thought it might be a quirk. Could you please try and erase it?" I asked politely, when Mr Aizawa saw it on my arm he looked a little surprised at the now ruby red and slowly moving thing on my arm.

Mr Aizawa activated his quirk, making his eyes red and hair float. I watched as the liquid continued to move around my lower right arm, with nothing happening.
"I wasn't expecting it to work anyway. After all my quirk only works if I'm looking at the person, not their quirk... But whatever this is, keep an eye on it."

I took another look at the thing on my arm with a slight frown. Parasite... Maybe Akai will know what this is.
