THE TEST [Part 28]

Aizawa and I both shouted, "Welcome to U.A's Hero course!"

There was silence over all of us until a female student with a brunette bob cut spoke, "Last place will be expelled? But it's the first day of school! No, even if it wasn't the first day of school, this is too unfair!'

Aizawa quickly glanced at me, I had a shadow over my eyes and I started to speak in my military voice, "Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains."

My eyes look in the corner of my eye at Bakugo quickly and back at the class, this time, my eyes were blood red.

Nevertheless, I continued, "Calamities whose time or place can't be predicted. Japan is covered with unfairness."

Then Aizawa continued for me, " Heroes are the ones who reverse those situations. If you wanted to go talk with your friends at Mickey D's after school, too bad."

At this point everyone was quiet as they realize what they signed up for, I warned them, "For the next 3 years, U.A. will do all it can give you one hardship after another."

Aizawa then made a taunting motion with his index finger, taunting the students to come over to us, "Plus Ultra. Overcome it with all you've got."

The whole class was starting to feel more determined than ever after we spoke to them, then Aizawa grumbled out which made me laugh slightly, "All right, the demonstration's over. The real thing starts now."

We all head to the first test: 'The 50-meter dash.' Aizawa and I were watching everyone go, there were amusing ones, impressive one, and just plain sad ones.

The second test is: 'Grip strength', at this one I couldn't help but stare as the boys flex their arms.

The third test: 'Standing long jump', everyone jumped over the sandpit except Midoriya.

At this point, I can't help but worry for him. The fourth test: 'Repeated side steps', the short boy with the grape hair won this one.

The fifth one: 'Ball throw', most of the class went and now it was Midoriya's turn to throw the ball.

He kept staring at the softball in his hand with slight fear which caused me to chew on my bottom lip and grip my hands behind my back out of worry. Aizawa frowns at my state and looks at Midoriya with narrowed eyes.

Out of nowhere, I hear Iida state, " It doesn't look good for Midoriya if he continues like this." His statement caught Bakugo's attention which he responded with, "Huh? Of course not. He's a quirkless small fry, you know." I couldn't help but smirk, and before anyone could notice my smirk, I hid it with a small smile.

Iida then looked offended and replied back, "Quirkless?! Are you not aware of what he did in the entrance exam?"

Bakugo looked confused and let out a 'Huh?', my smile got a bit bigger and noticed that Bakugo was staring at me out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly, my eyes picked up sudden movement from Midoriya. My eyes quickly snap to him and I noticed red electricity-like marks running across his right arm with the softball in hand.

Just as he threw the ball, I look out the corner of my eye and saw Aizawa using his quirk.

As expected, the ball fell to the ground and the device announced, "46 meters."

Midoriya looked mortified and said out of disbelief, "I was definitely trying to use it just now..." My nails were drawing slight beads of blood on my hand and I only noticed when I felt something drip from my fingertips.

I quickly look at my punctured hand and hiss out as small beads of rose-gold blood erupt from it.

My attention was brought back when I saw Aizawa's appearance as he spoke, " I erased your Quirk."

Immediately, Midoriya turned to us and had a surprised look on his face, but Aizawa continues, "That entrance exam was definitely not rational enough. Even a kid like you was accepted."

At his last sentence, I accidentally bit my bottom lip too hard and large beads of blood escaped from the fresh wound.

My hiss caught a few people's attention but I still paid attention to Aizawa with a frown.

Midoriya questioned out of confusing until he noticed a small detail about Aizawa and exclaimed,

"You erased my Quirk? Those goggles... I see! You can erase other people's Quirks with your quirk just by looking at them. The Erasure Hero: Eraser Head!"

The class started to speak softly between each other at this information, one said, "Eraser? I don't know him."

While another said in return, "I've heard of him. He's an underground hero."

I smiled but my frown returned as he continued to speak to Midoriya, "From what I can tell, you can't control your Quirk, can you?"

Midoriya flinches a bit but stayed quiet as Aizaw continued, "Do you intend to become incapacitated again and have someone save you?"

Midoriya then shouted defensively, "Th-That's not my intention --"

He was cut off when Aizawa's scarf wrapped itself around his body and brought Midotiya closer to him.

"Whatever your intention, I'm saying that's what those around you will be forced to do," Said Aizawa and Midoriya realized what that meant.

Aizawa then looks at the corner of the building where All Might was hiding and started, "In the past, there was an oppressively passionate hero who saved over a thousand people by himself and created a legend."

I slightly scoff at the word 'legend' but he continued as he looked back at Midoriya, "Even if you have the same reckless valor, you'll just be decked and turn into a useless doll after saving one person."

Midoriya stiffens and I glare at the ground, knowing what Aizawa is about to say, "Izuku Midoriya. With your power, you can't become a hero."

Tears started to form in the corners of my eyes but I forced myself to blink them away.

Aizawa released him from his hold and Midoriya had a shadow over his eyes as he clenched his fists at his sides.

"I've returned your quirk," said Aizawa as he stood next to me again.

Midoriya was standing in the circle again while muttering to himself, "What should I do? Which should I choose?"

I look at Aizawa with a glare, "Don't you think you were a bit too harsh on the boy?"

He looks at me and replied, "Nah." I glare harder at him but stopped when Midoriya threw the ball with full force again but I could notice the same marks in his index finger as he lets go of the ball.

"Smash...!" He shouts as the ball flew through the air with a powerful force, shocking everyone including me, All Might and Aizawa.

The ball hits the floor and Aizawa looked at the device and saw the results: '705,3 meters'

"Mr. Aizawa," Called Midoriya out, Aizawa looks up from the device at him, "I can still move!"

Shouted Midoriya as he gripped his hand with his injured index finger with a trembling smile.

The only thing Aizawa could say was, "This kid..." And I couldn't help but feel proud of his achievement.
