“Wait… your dad’s our teacher?!” The yellow-haired kid voiced what most of the other students were thinking.

“Yeah, that’s why I’m telling you that this isn’t a joke. He can and will expel the lowest five scorers here today. So, I suggest that you all try as best you can to not be one of those.”

Katsuo turned around and started walking to the 50-M dash.

The class watched him walk away, countless questions in their minds about their teacher and their classmate. They were awakened from their stupor when three of them walked forward to take the test.

They realized they were already behind the four students who were already at the track and went to join them.

Katsuo stood by the side with Izumi and watched their new classmates running. Quietly, they were having a conversation about their classmates, and their possible quirks. They got a rough idea of what all but one of the students quirks were, when it was Izumi’s turn to run.

She got ready to start with Bakugou next to her. 

Bakugou looked to the side and saw Katsuo watching him. 'Watch me, you bastard. I'll show you how strong I am now!!'

When the race began Bakugou jumped forward and put his hands behind him. Bakugou yelled “Explosive Speed!” and activated his quirk.

He flew forward at a breakneck speed. Easily getting the top time so far. 3.03

Izumi crossed the line later than Bakugou. Earning 5.12. 

Izumi looked at Bakugou, who was gloating to the boy with an engine quirk about his faster time. ‘Kacchan… he didn’t…’

She went over to Katsuo and asked him if what she thought was right.  “Um… Kacchan… he didn’t…”

“Stop his quirk."

"Y-yeah."

"Usually he'd create numerous blasts one after another as fast as he could… right?"

"Yeah! So… what does this mean?"

"That he's gotten stronger. Or rather, his quirk has."

"His quirk got stronger? But… doesn't that mean…"

"Yep! He's been training his quirk as hard as he could. That's probably why he'd walk into class with his hands covered in bandages all the time."

"Wait! A-are you saying that he used his quirk until… That many times?" 

"Crazy. Right? Well, I'm up now. Keep watch on the other guy's quirk. I might miss something."

Katsuo flashed a smile at Izumi then started walking away before she could respond. Despite that, she did.

"M-mhm"

Katsuo walked up to Bakugou and faced him. "You mind Katsuki?"

‘Damn bastard’s gonna use mine?!’ "Fine, but you better get something amazing with it. Bastard."

"Sure." Katsuo then playfully karate chopped Bakugou on his head. When he did, his hair started floating and his eyes began glowing bright red. 

"I'll do it in under one second! That'll suffice, right?"

"Tch. Whatever."

"Okay! One it is!" Katsuo walked over to the start line.When he reached the line he bent forward with his arms back. 

His partner for the dash, a boy with dual colored hair and eyes, a scar on one of them, looked at him, then forward. He was standing upright, with his right foot behind him.
