I was stretching my body next to Tenya when Uncle--- Aizawa Sensei, I need to be more aware of how I see him at school---- Aizawa Sensei addressed the group.

"In your middle schools, you were handicapped by not being allowed to use your quirks. Here you will be not only tested on your current understanding of your quirks, but your strength and comfort in using it. Bakugo, what was your record throwing distance in middle school?"

"57 meters I think" the spikey blond grumbled out.

Aizawa threw him the ball, "Try it now, but use your quirk"

I saw a sinister smile spread across his face. he chuckled and threw the ball with a huge explosion. Flashy. "705.2 meters, you all will no longer be limited in those ways but use your quirks to your advantage."

From there we began our test. We started with the 50-meter dash. We were split into pairs as we raced. I was paired up with a different blond boy that before. He was more energetic and sincere. His strong yellow hair had a black streak pattern across it. He smiled at me with a wink. "Name's Kaminari, after I outrun you, can I get your number?" Bold. I felt uncle's eyes on both of us intensely.

"Sure, but you have outrun me first." I grinned when Aizawa blew the horn. I was going to feel bad about this but since he had to make a comment like that... I sharpened my gaze and activated my quirk while looking at him, he froze in place. I turned my back to the finish line and sprinted backward with a smile on my face. After I crossed the line, I blinked deactivating my quirk as he sprinted forwards. My quirk only paused him but not the timer recording. I doubled his time with one glance. I could hear whispers coming from the crowd of students off to the side.

"Hey! That's not fair! You did something to me!" he yelled.

"Actually I used my quirk to my advantage, it's not my fault you assumed that you'd win." I shrugged it off with a smile and a wink. On the remaining tests, I did not use my quirk. But then we got to the ball throw again. Hmm, I don't think I'll come in last but I don't want to risk coming in last and uncle calling it a lie. If they find out he's my uncle they'll call it favoritism. I'll have to use my quirk even if only a little.

"Teruhashi, you're up." I walk up to the plate and take a nerve-racking deep breath. I stretched my arm, pulled back, and released with all my strength. As it began on its course, I froze the ball midair with my eyes. I walked forwards to it and hit it with force once more while frozen. I blinked letting go of my quirk as the ball gained a ferocious speed blasting away from the spot I released. "705.9 meters"

That will do just fine, I look around and feel all eyes on me. I walk back to the group where I see Tenya looking like he was going to ask me something. Before I can reach him, the boy with fluffy green hair walked in my path. He was the one who broke his finger earlier. Odd.

"Hi! uh, my name is Izuku Midoriya, can I ask you a question about your quirk?"

"Uhh sure, shoot," I say blankly.

"SO, if your quirk stops things in midmotion does it allow you to also affect the speed of things moving or pressure? I have never seen a quirk like that before, but the way your eyes light up like yellow beams of light it must be glance activated. Hmm, that seems oddly similar to Aizawa sensei's quirk. Can you freeze only one thing at a time or a whole scene? How does that work? Do your eyes dry up? mutter mutter mutter" He began to ramble scribbling in a notebook in his hands. Crap is he already onto me.

"Shut up you useless Deku," I heard barking from the spikey blond.

"That isn't very-- " I was cut off by Midoriya covered my mouth.

"It's okay, thank you for being so nice but he is really mean and I don't know that you want to make an enemy yet." He whispered.

"Why is he like that?" I asked him.

"That's a conversation for another day," The boy said.

"Alright, here are your results." Aizawa Sensei said blankly. 3rd, not bad. Right behind Todoroki. Hmm why was that name familiar. I felt eyes on me, and I saw that it was the mean blond boy. I made eye contact with him and proceeded to play chicken with him. I wasn't going to break, he needed to know I wasn't here to be pushed around. He looked away and made a sound under his breath. I win. Don't forget it. I looked at the chart again, I saw that Midoriya was in last. Oof that is rough. I saw the look of actual terror on his face.

"Just kidding! That was a logical deception." Uncle said with a gross smile. "I just wanted you all to do your best."

The boy next to me practically keeled over in relief. We went back inside and changed back into our school uniforms.

Later, it was finally time for lunch. Mmm, it's been so long since I have had lunch rush's food. My uncle use to bring me to UA with him when I was little if I was sick or he had late meetings. Everyone who ever babysat me worked here mostly. Which made it hard for him to find a babysitter sometimes. But I was grateful for that, coming here a kid made me want to be a hero in the first place. I use to hate the idea of being a hero and I always thought I had an evil quirk that I couldn't always control. But coming here, seeing uncle help students and how happy everyone was to be a hero or trying to be a hero changed me. It also always helps when all the people you call 'Uncle and Auntie' are all pro heroes. Man Uncle Shouta needs some normal friends.

"Hey, Hachi! Would you like to sit with us at lunch today?" I looked up from my pork cutlet bowl to see Tenya's royal blue eyes beckoning me to his table. There sat Midoryia and the girl with the cute brown hair who I now know is Ochako Uraraka.

"I would really like that, thanks Tenya" I sat down and saw that Midoryia and Uraraka were both confused.

"Do you and Iida know each other?" asked Uraraka. I looked over to Tenya who sat back waiting for me to answer.

"Um yes we do, we sort of grew up in the same areas and played as kids pretty often. Our families knew each other well." I guess it is only a half-lie. I'm surprised Tenya is going along with this. But come to think of it I don't think he wants anyone to know that he's the little brother of Ingenium either. "Wow! that's so cool! Was he always this formal?" Uraraka jokes.

"Yes, actually," I say with a chuckle. "Also I know my name is kind of long, so you both can call me Hachi, Hachimitsu, or Teruhashi. I will respond to any breakdown of my name." I said with a hand on the back of my neck.

"Sure thing Hachi!" said Midoriya. We sat there together and told stories of us playing as kids.

"Hey wait, didn't you and Bakugo grow up together as friends Deku?" asked Uraraka. Deku? was this some sort of nickname? It seemed odd to use a rude word but if that's him that's him. "Well, we did grow up together but I wouldn't call us friends exactly. I always wanted to be his friend but Kacchan never really let me in. In fact, he is kind of mean to me always." he said sadly.

"You gotta stand up for yourself and show him you are here and you are not going anywhere. If he's rude to you tell him that's not okay. You have just as much right to be here as he does." I said firmly. I hate bullies. Especially those with flashy quirks.

Then I looked around for the spikey blond. I'll intimidate him with my eyes. Petty I know, but he makes me mad. I don't even know him well and I know I'm gonna hate him. But instead of crimson disks, my eyes met an icy blue on shrouded by a red scar and a cool calming grey eye. I know those eyes. I remember now, he is Shoto Todoroki. Son of Endeavor. He placed third after me today. His face was blank and as I subconsciously took in all of his features I realized I was starring. I shuffled and looked down quickly and finished my food. I looked up to leave and saw him walking over to our table. I panicked. "I just remembered I need to ask Sensei something I gotta go," I said and scurried off before he could reach our table. I passed him on the out from the table and kept walking but I could see his hand reaching out for me. I'm not ready for that conversation.
