Season 1 Chapter 7: Test Your Might

After everyone got dressed in the gym uniform, they headed out to the field and Aizawa told them they'd be doing a Quirk assessment test.

Students: What? A Quirk assessment test?

Ochaco: But orientation! We're gonna miss it!

Aizawa: If you really wanna make the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies.

Students: (gaps)

Aizawa: Here at UA, we're not tethered to traditions. That means that I get to run my class however I see fit. You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives. But you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country's still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day. The Ministry of Education will learn. (looks at Y/N) Y/N, you managed to get the most points on the entrance exam.

Y/N: I did?

Katsuki: WHAT?! HOW DID YOU BEAT ME?!

Aizawa: What was your farthest distance throw with a softball when you were in Junior High?

Y/N: Fifty-seven meters, I think.

Aizawa: Right. Try doing it with your alien form

Aizawa then tossed Y/N a ball which he caught and he walked into a white circle.

Aizawa: Anything goes, just stay in the circle. Go on. You're wasting our time.

Y/N: (stretches arm) You got it, teach. (thoughts) Since this involves using your powers, I know just the alien for the ball throw. 

Y/N activates his Omnitrix as he scrolls and picks the right alien before slamming down on it. 

(Y/N's Four Arms)

The green flash faded as the class looked in shock at Y/N's Four Arms. 

Kaminari: Woah! Did you see that?!

Tusk: He transformed? 

Sero: I just remembered! He's Y/N Tennyson!

Toru: You mean one of Tennyson brothers on the news that can turn into aliens? He's in our class? That is so cool! I always wanted to meet him!

Kirishima: And he's Four Arms! That's so cool!

Ochaco: (blush) So muscle‐y!

Ben: He's using Four Arms for his throwing distance. 

Kyoka: That's a smart choice. 

Four Arms smirked as he reeled one of his arms back and sends the ball flying into the air, breaking the sound barrier numerous times as it fades out of sight. 

Four Arms: And that's how it's done. 

President Mic: Alien name: Fourarms! This alien's prominent ability is enhanced strength! Being able to lift several times his own weight and punch through various resilient material with ease. The media are still debating if he's as strong as All Might!

Aizawa looks at the tracker on his phone as he turns back to the students.

Aizawa: All of you need to know your maximum capabilities. It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a pro hero.

Aizawa then showed the class and they saw that Y/N had thrown the ball 10,500 meters and they were all shocked.

Students: (gasp at seeing the results)

Sambamhaw: IT'S OVER 9,000!!!

Kaminari: Whoa! Are you kidding me?!

Mina: I wanna go! That looks like fun!

Sero: This is what I'm talkin' about, usin' our Quirks as much as we want!

Aizawa: So this looks fun, huh? You have three years here to become a hero. You think it's all gonna be game and play time? (smiles) 

Idiots. Today you'll compete in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none, and will be expelled immediately.

The students were now on edge as it wasn't even the entire first day and already the man was planning on expelling people. They all couldn't help but collectively think the same thing.

Students: I'm in danger.

Y/N: What? You can't do that!

Aizawa: Like I said, I get to decide how this class runs. Understand? If that's a problem, you can head home right now.

They soon get over there shock and most looked a bit better to do the tests, Katsuki was grinning, and Izuku was nervous as he was still trying to get a handle of his Quirk.

Ochaco: You can't send one of us home! I mean, we just got here! Even if it wasn't the first day, that isn't fair!

Aizawa: Oh, and you think natural disasters are? Or power-hungry villains? Hm? Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? No, the world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to try to combat that unfairness.

Ben: (thoughts) What he's saying is harsh, but it's the truth. I've been given a once in life time opportunity to become a hero, and I'm not going to waste it. I've got to give it my all.

Hitomi: (thoughts, looks down in sad) Is it because I'm here?

Y/N: (notices Hitomi's expression for a moment)

Aizawa: If you want to become 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. So, go beyond. Plus Ultra-style. Show me that it's no mistake that you're here.

Y/N: (thoughts) I don't like this, but if that's how it's gonna be, then so be it.

Aizawa: We're wasting time by talking. Let the games begin.

And so they began the games. Hitomi listed off the eight tests Aizawa had mentioned to herself, thinking about how she could use her quirk to improve her score.

Hitomi: (thoughts) Softball throwing, the standing long jump, 50-meter dash, endurance running, grip strength, side-to-side stepping, upper-body training, and the seated toe-touch. Looks like my force field will be moving around a lot.

Still, the thought gnawed at the back of her mind that someone was going to be expelled because of her. 

The first test was the 50-meter dash after a couple students have already gone Ben was looking at the Omnitrix looking through his aliens.

Ben: What to transform into... 

Kyoka: Hey, dweeb.

Ben looks to his right and sees Kyoka and Y/N walking up to him. 

Kyoka: You were almost late today.

Ben: Yeah yeah, I know. If you're here to scold me do it later I'm trying to decide what alien I should turn into. 

Kyoka: I'm not here to scold you. 

Y/N: Why don't you turn into XLR8? He is our fastest alien.

Ben: Yeah, but I have to think about the other tests too. If I turn into XLR8, I have to the whole test as him. I need an alien who can manage all the tests with ease.

Y/N: And that would be? 

Ben: Him. (slams his Omnitrix) 

(Ben's Four Arms) 

Y/N: (unimpressed) Really? Why Four Arms? 

Four Arms : You'll see.

Four Arms gets infront of the starting line and gets ready.

Robot: On your mark... Get set...Go!

Four Arms runs as fast as he can, but wasn't as fast as Ben's other aliens. He then crosses the finish line as the robot announces his result.

Robot: 5.18 seconds. 

Y/N and Kyoka then walks up to Four Arms. 

Kyoka: Again, why Fourarms? That wasn't very fast. 

 Four Arms: It's complicated. You wouldn't understand. 

Y/N: (smirks) Your watch didn't give you the alien you wanted, did it?

Four Arms just grunts in response.

The next one was Y/N and Ochaco.

Y/N: Let's do our best, Ochaco.

Ochaco: Right. 

The class both watched as Y/N activates his Omnitrix and turns into XLR8. 

Robot: On your mark... Get set...Go!

XLR8 immedently dashed passed Ochaco and crossed the finish line. 

Robot: 0.1 second. 

Ochako: Wow, Y/N you're so fast!

Mina: I know, right?!

XLR8: Aw, thanks. 

Having an uneven amount of people in the class, Hitomi had to be in a group of three with the last two students to go, them being Momo and Mineta.

Hitomi: (thoughts) If I can use a force field to propel myself forward, maybe I can knock off a few seconds as long as I don't trip...

As the three students were getting into position, Hitomi noticed Momo slipping on a pair of roller blades before moving into position.

Hitomi: (thoughts) Where did she get those?!

She shook her head, refocusing back on the track. At the sound of the whistle, Hitomi formed a force field a few feet behind her. Bringing it towards her quickly, she maneuvered her feet onto it and the force of the coming barrier launched her forward several meters. 

She stumbled as her feet met back with the ground, but ran towards the sensor as fast as she could, a satisfying beep sounding off as she passed. She finished at 4.58 seconds.

Hitomi Kanetsukabe! Quirk: Force Field!

This Quirk involves superheating the air within a one meter radius around herself to form plasma, which make up her force fields. She can form them around herself, or launch them to attack others. They are generally easy for her to maintain.

If she repeatedly creates force fields in the same areas, the high concentration of heat will result in varying degrees of burns.

She looked back to see Momo and Mineta pass the finish line, their scores sounding off.

Hitomi: (thoughts) That's three seconds faster than in middle school! It seems like using my force fields will be useful during the tests.

Hitomi held her hands in front of her, clenching her fists with a timid smile as Aizawa called for the class to move on to the next test. 

Next was the grip strength test.

Elbows: You hit 540 kilograms? You're such a beast!

Grapes: Yeah, like a muscle‐y octopus.

Multi-arms: Ah...

The three then hear something break as they look over to Four Arms and Y/N as Diamondhead as they both broke their machines. 

Diamondhead: Uh... whoops.

Everyone stared at them in disbelief. 

Kyoka: You just broke it! What are you doing?!

Four Arms: Sorry... 

The next is the long jump which was Y/N's turn. 

Diamondhead: Alright Omnitrix or Cora, give me an alien that is capable of completing this test. 

Diamonhead slams the Omnitrix and then...

(imagine it's Diamondhead instead) 

Ball Weevil: Wow! This is a new one. 

Girls: (blush) Oh my gosh! He's so cute! 

Four Arms: He gets another new alien? 

Ball Weevil: Uh but, what can it do? I've got to have something going in me other than the power of cuteness? 

Just then, Ball Weevil spits up a green round sticky ball of plasma, hops on it and starts rolling around. 

(replace the red color with green) 

Everyone: Eww... 

Once he gains enough distance, Ball Weevil hops off the ball which explodes in green plasma energy which boosted him up and lands on the ground. 

Ball Weevil: Wow. I went a lot higher and further than I thought. 

Suddenly, the girls went around Ball Weevil as Momo picked him up. 

Momo: He's so adorable! 

Ochaco: And cute! 

Kyoka: No! He's both cute AND adorable! 

Hitomi: I wanna keep him! 

Mina: Me too! 

Tsuyu: He's like a cute and friendly insect. 

Toru: That makes him much cuter! 

Ball Weevil: (blush) H-Hey! Watch where you're touching!

The fifth test was the ball throw again, and since Y/N already went, he didn't have to do it again. Hitomi stepped into the throwing circle, staring at the ball in her hand. 

Hitomi: (thoughts) I'll have to throw a lot of force fields at it if I want to get a better score.

A plan set, Hitomi threw the ball as hard as possible. Immediately after, she made small force fields along her arms and threw them at the ball continuously. She could see it propel forward with each hit, and in one last effort, Hitomi made one bigger force field with both her hands, throwing it with all her might.

The ball shot forward from the impact, before finally falling to gravity and hitting the ground. Aizawa held up the device which revealed she reached 152.4 meters as Hitomi's brow furrowed. 

It's not that that score wasn't impressive; it was actually three times better than her distance in middle school. The problem to her was that it was nothing compared to her other classmates.

Hitomi: (thoughts) What was I thinking? I couldn't begin to compare to them.

Y/N felt bad for her before he decided to cheer her up.

Y/N: (walks up to her) Hey Hitomi. (caught her attention) You did great at the softball throw with that barrier of yours!

Hitomi: Oh, no... it's not that impressive, especially compared to yours, or Bakugou's.

Y/N: It's still good!

Y/N gave her a smile that seemed to radiate sunshine which made her gasp in surprised.

Kirishima: Yeah! My Quirk can't really help with this kinda stuff, but yours seems really useful!

Their conversation was interrupted when Katsuki was up next.

Katsuki: GO TO HELL!!!

Katsuki throws as hard as he could with an explosion, blasting the ball into the air. 

Y/N and Four Arms: Go to hell? 

Katsuki's throw had gone 715.2 meters.

Ochako then used her Quirk to throw the ball as it went all the way up in the sky and it just didn't come down. 

Aizawa held up the result and everyone saw that it was an infinity symbol and everyone looked surprised.

Everyone: Infinity?! 

Y/N: Does that mean she beat my score? 

Kyoka: Maybe. 

Aizawa: Alright, who's next?

Right as Aizawa said that, everyone starts to hear a beep, which was only familiar to Y/N, Four Arms and Kyoka. 

Mina: What's that noise?

Four Arms : (looking at the flashing symbol on his shoulder) Oh no!

Four Arms rushes to Aizawa and grabs a ball from him. Without any time to waste he throws the ball with all his power. 

Right as he throws the ball there was a red flash and Ben was back to his normal self. The ball was now nowhere to be seen. Aizawa then looks at his results then shows it to the class. Ben as Four Arms' results were 2,250 meters. 

Ben: Phew, that was close... (thoughts) Shame I couldn't beat Y/N's though.

Ben then walks back to Y/N and Kyoka with a smug look on his face.

Ben: That's why I chose Four Arms! 

Kyoka: Yeah yeah, whatever.

The three then saw that Izuku was next.

Y/N: (thoughts) He hasn't been using his quirk for the whole test. If he doesn't do something quick he's gonna be in last place.

As Izuku was getting ready to throw the ball, Y/N notices his arm starts to glow, he then throws the ball, but it only went a few feet in front of him. 

Izuku: Uh... what gives? I was trying to use it just now.

Aizawa: I erased your quirk.

Izuku looks at the teacher, and saw his scarf was moving, his eyes glowing red, and his hair standing all the way up. 

Aizawa: The judges for this exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school.

Izuku: Wait, you did what to my—(gasps in realization) Those goggles. I know you! You can look at someone and cancel out their powers. The Erasure Hero. Eraser Head!

Y/N: Eraser Head? (to Ben and Kyoka) Have you two heard of him?

Ben and Kyoka: Nope. 

While the students were talking, All Might was watching from behind.

All Might: (thoughts) Aizawa's one of those guys who doesn't like the media because he thinks they interfere with our work. And he judges celebrity heroes like me because I look good in the spotlight.

Aizawa: You're not ready. You don't have control over your power.

Y/N's eyes widened hearing this, Izuku was standing there speechless as Aizawa continued to belittle him.

Aizawa: Were you planning to break your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?

Izuku: No! That's not what I was trying to do!

Izuku was suddenly grabbed by the scarf and pulled in.

Aizawa: No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle.

Izuku: (gasps)

Aizawa: You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know. One who saved 1,000 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.

Izuku was shocked, but his expression changed to determined. The other students were curious at what went down as they didn't hear except for Y/N. The teacher stops his quirk and his scarf relaxes.

Izuku: I've returned your impractical quirk. Take your final throw. Hurry and get it over with.

He walks away and Izuku gets back to his spot. 

Y/N: (thoughts) Break his bones? Is Izuku's quirk really that strong? 

Iida: I wonder if our teacher gave him some advice.

Katsuki: Probably told him to start panicking. He's done for.

The One For All inheritor had to think. He had a long way to go in gaining control of his power.

Izuku: (thoughts) So I'll focus on what I can do right now!

He reared his arm back again with the ball in his hand. This time, he channeled his power into the tip of his index finger and threw as hard as he could. And as he did...

Izuku: SMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He then threw the ball, causing a massive shockwave and everyone looked at him shocked. Y/N then looks at the green haired boy and sees that his finger was broken.

His throw had gone 715.3 meters, further than Katsuki's. He turned around to Shota and faced him, forcing a grin while closing his right hand into a fist.

Izuku: Mr. Aizawa... You see? I'm still standing.

Aizawa: (surprised, grins) This kid... 

All Might: (thoughts) I was worried about you, young man, but you're doing a great job. You knew you had to use One For All, but not at full power or else you'd be KO'd. So, you propelled the ball at the last possible point of contact—by sending the power of your quirk shooting through your fingertip. Minimizing the injury of your body while maximizing the throw. What the heck, young Midoriya? How did you go and get so cool? 

Everyone was left astonished as Izuku cradled his broken finger. He had just scored the third highest mark in the ball throw, passing Katsuki by a tenth of a meter.

Y/N: Sweet throw, buddy! 

Ochaco: Nice, he's finally showing his true power.

Iida: But his finger appears to be broken now. 

Y/N: True, but it's better than his whole arm.

While they were talking about that, Katsuki was completely shocked by what just happened.

Katsuki: (thoughts) What the hell was that?! If he had a quirk, he would've gotten it when we were kids! This is impossible! He's up to something. (speaking, runs to attack Izuku) HEY!!! DEKU, YOU BASTARD!!! YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT OR YOU'RE DEAD!!!

Izuku: AAAAHHH!!!

Y/N went in front of him, but Aizawa beats him to it by using his scarf to restrain Bakugo and prevent the angry boy from using his quirk.

Katsuki: (strained) What? Why the hell is your damn scarf so strong?

Aizawa: Because it's a capture weapon made out of carbon fiber and a special metal alloy. Stand down. It would be wise to avoid making me use my quirk so much. It gives me serious dry eye.

Students: Too bad. That power is amazing.

Aizawa: (lets Bakugo go) You're wasting my time now. Whoever's next can step up.

(time-skip)

After that bit, they finished up the rest of the tests. Unfortunately, Izuku had to go through that with a broken finger and soon Aizawa gave his results.

Aizawa: All right, time to give you your results. I've ranked you all from best to worst. You should probably have a good idea of your standing already. I'll just pull up the whole list. It's not worth going over each individual's score.

He brought up the list of students. 

1. Y/N Tennyson 

2. Momo Yaoyorozu

3. Shoto Todoroki 

4. Katsuki Bakugo 

5. Tenya Iida

6. Fumikage Tokoyami

7. Mezo Shoji

8. Ben Tennyson 

9. Mashirao Ojiro

10. Eijiro Kirishima

11. Mina Ashido

12. Ochaco Uraraka

13. Koji Koda

14. Rikido Sato

15. Hitomi Kanetsukabe

16. Tsuyu Asui

17. Yuga Aoyama

18. Hanta Sero

19. Denki Kaminari

20. Kyoka Jiro

21. Toru Hagakure

22. Minoru Mineta

23. Izuku Midoriya 

Aizawa: (turns list off) And I was lying, no one's going home. (all students are shocked and he smiles) That was just a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all in the tests.

Students: (yelp in surprise) WHAT?!?!?!

Momo: I'm surprise none of you didn't figure it out. I'm sorry. I guess I probably should have said something.

Ben, Kyoka, Weisz, Kaminari, and Mineta: Yeah, you should have.

Sero: That was pretty nerve-wracking, huh?

Kirishima: Nah, I'm always down for a challenge.

Y/N: (thoughts) They're wrong... He wasn't lying at all. So why did he change his mind?

Aizawa: That's it. We're done for the day. Pick up a syllabus in the classroom. Read it over before tomorrow morning. Midoriya, (hands him a slip) take this and go have the old lady fix you up. Things are gonna be tougher tomorrow when your actual training begins. Make sure you're prepared.

Ben: (sighs) I hope tomorrow won't be like this...

He leaves the class, and was soon greeted by both All Might.

All Might: Aizawa, that was a rotten move.

Aizawa: So you were watching. No talk shows today?

All Might: "A rational deception." That's cute but you're not exactly known for being lighthearted. I read your file. Last year you expelled an entire class of freshmen students. You have no problem kicking students out, anyone deem unworthy so you were planning to send last place home. So that means you see the same kind of potential in young Midoriya as I do.

Aizawa: What's this about? It almost sounds like you've been in his corner the whole time.

All Might: Uh-

Aizawa: Isn't it a little early for you to be playing favorites? (begins walking) He doesn't have zero potential, I admit. If that were the case, I would have sent him straight home.

Unknown to them, they were being heard by Y/N who was behind a wall. 

Y/N: ... 

Chapter 7 ended. 

I hope you guys like that chapter. Up next is the combat training. I have a few ideas in terms of what teams Y/N, Ben, and Hitomi will be in. 

But before that, we have a flashback chapter of when Y/N and Ben were kids training to use their powers before being hunted down by bounty hunters. 

If you guys have any ideas for it, let me know at the comments below. Peace out and enjoy!
