Chapter 4- Tests And Unfriendly Faces

You all turned to see Katsuki Bakugou charging at Izuku Midoriya, yelling about his quirk.
'Oh man! He's going to explode that boy!' Kirishima thought frantically as he turned his head to ask what'll you'll do, but you were gone.
'(Y/N)?' He looked around to find you, but couldn't see you.

You, on the other hand, were kneeling down on the ground. You stared at the ball that Izuku Midoriya threw, and analyzed it.
"Physical form...," You muttered to yourself, lifting your arm to grab the ball, and it was held in your hands. Physical form was a way that you could interact with the world around you, anything that is not your host or electronic.

You slowly stood up, gently holding the ball, and turning back to see Katsuki Bakugou being held in the cloth of Eraserhead. Slowly sliding your foot against the dirt, you twist your body slightly and used your strength to throw the ball as hard as you can. It flew across the field, racing down and harshly and painfully, hit Katsuki Bakugou in the face.

"Nice," You smirked with slight mischief as you watched the class' eyes go wide in shock, and Kirishima had his mouth open. Even Eraserhead raised his eyebrow in confusion and looked over to see who was the culprit, but you quickly disappeared into nothing but air and returned next to your host.

"What the hell?!" Katsuki Bakugou hissed in pain as he rubbed his head angrily.
"May I ask what happened?" You questioned Kirishima.
'I...I honestly don't know, but it was... kinda funny,' He said to you with a slight smile. You smiled fondly at him as Eraserhead let go of Katsuki Bakugou, who stomped away muttering curses.

"Alright Ejiro, Shall we finish?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Would you look at that?" You said with pride in your voice as Kirishima spotted his name on the board.
'I can't believe it... 8th place... 8th place!! So manly!!' He cheered in his mind as he held this big and toothy smile. You felt proud of him, he grew his confidence since he got you, and you made great progress.

'But... I do feel bad for Midoriya, he got 20th place,' Kirishima said while looking at Izuku.
"I wouldn't feel too bad about him," You simply said while filing some information.
'Why no-'
"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion. It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your quirks." Eraserhead told the class with a strange smile.

"WHAT?!" The whole class shouted in shock, not including Shoto Todoroki, Katsuki Bakugo, and Momo Yaoyorozu. You simply chuckled at the shock expression your host had as the teacher turned to walk away.
"With that, we're done." He bluntly said.
"There are handouts with the curriculum and such in the classroom. So when you get back, look over them." Kirishima skimmed over the paper and flicked it to put in his pocket.

"Tomorrow will be packed with even more rigorous tests. Prepare yourself." He says before walking away. You sighed and placed a hand on Kirishima's shoulder.

"Well then Ejiro, shall we?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Kirishima!" The said boy and you turned around to see Mina skipping happily towards you two, or at least Kirishima.
"Hey Ashido! You did great at the quirk apprehension test!" Kirishima grinned as she walked along side with him, with you on the other side of him.

"Yes, I must confess Mina Ashido is rather... flexible," You told him, coughing and looking away, a little embarrassed.
"Yep! I was one place below you after all! You excited for what's in store for us tomorrow? I bet you we'll be kicking Villains soon!" Mina smiled and elbowed your host, making you smile at the playful nature of the female.

"Yeah!! It'll be so manly to fight some bad guys! And I know you will be by my side! Along with our class and (Y-" Kirishima stopped before he could say anything else, but you just smirked at the slip up he did.
"Did you say (Y/N)? As in, the Amazonian warrior (Y/N)?" Mina tilted her head slightly.

"Uhhhhhhh, no! I was talking about- uhh- a real (Y/N)! Yeah, that's right," Kirishima mumbled the last part as Mina smirked mischievously.
"Ooooh~? Is it your girlfriend?" Treat made Kirishima blush madly and stammer.
'(Y/N)! Help me out!' He screamed in his mind, but you simply shrugged.

"I'll take my lunch break," You smiled and disappeared.
'(Y/N) PLEASE-' You chuckled at Kirishima's pleading as you went into his mind to save any memory of today's events. It was quiet, and dark, feeing at peace while you did your job.
"Feels nice to be back at the job, after what happened," You muttered, but then you felt something glitch in your system.

"A female form? I was so sure that you wouldn't have been at your old antics again," You stopped at the sudden male voice, it was deep and sounded disappointed.
"... It should not matter... I become the form to a comforting character Ejiro Kirishima wants," You simply said, opening another file to look through.
"You and I both know what you claimed was not the reason you chose this '(Y/N)' character," The voice gruffed out.

"I thought I got rid of you," You hissed out as you continued to type of your screen, but an invisible hand grasped your wrist to stop you.
"You can't get rid of me that easily," The voice bluntly said. You groaned and you then felt a beat in your system.
"Why are you still here? I made sure that you would be deleted! Why-" You froze, realizing what happened.
"You managed to escape the corrupted files... that's why you're still here!" You shouted into nothingness.

"Bingo," The voice chuckled in its deep husky tone.
"Why can't you just go away?! I've managed to reprogram myself back into a pill, and I wanted to change for the better after the Play Incident! And to do that, I needed to get rid of you," You spat out with hatred. The voice then burst into laughter as you seethed in anger.
"You can't get rid of something that is a part of you," The voice said like it was obvious.

"I'm the superior version, and no matter what you'll say," You then felt like there was a glitch in your system, and it caused you to fall onto your knees in pain.
"No matter what you do to try and be a better SQUIP," You felt a hand on your chin, tilting it up to see the SQUIP that you never wanted to be.

"You'll always be the Beta mode. And I'll come out on top to make this host into number one hero. And you'll be nothing but a defective SQUIP who believes they can become something they're never meant to be," He smirked as you then saw nothing but darkness.

"I won't let you hurt Ejiro like you hurt Jeremy! I promise that I'll be better than what I was back then! I'll show you!!" You shouted in anger and determination.

"How could you show me if you can't prove that you are stronger than me?"

"Trust me!! I'll be the better SQUIP than I was back then!! And I'll show that that SQUIPS can choose who they'll want to be!!"

"I'll be who I wanted to be!! I will be a real female human!!"

"You are nothing but a Defective SQUIP, in fact,"

"You are nothing,"

"(....N)"

"(Y....)"

".../N..."

"(Y/N)!"

You then appeared inside Kirishima's room, your eyes wide as Kirishima looked up with a smile, but it then dropped as he noticed your face.
"Hey, are you alright? You seem, I don't know, out of it?" He asked with concern in his voice. You quickly shook off what just happened and went on to have a blank look on your face.

"Affirmative Ejiro, I was merely looking at your browser history," You lied, but then smirked at Kirishima's face turning red.
"O-oh! Um... I thought I deleted those," He muttered that last part, making you snort softly and placed a hand on his head.

"I was merely playing around, although you do need to fix that habit of yours," Kirishima nodded and sat down on his bed.
"Can you believe it (Y/N)? I'm one step further to become a hero! Then I will never freeze up when someone is in danger, I'll be there to protect others, and I'll be just like Crimson Riot!!" He said with excitement.

You just smiled at his happy expression and looked at you hand for a moment.

'Yeah... and you'll no longer be needing me anymore,'
