Again (Chapter 10)

Izuku POV

Brava took care of all the papers for UA. I'm okay, I can do this. My heart raced as I walked up to UA. There were people everywhere. Kids rushing in, others sitting around talking to each other. Suddenly, I got overwhelmed. This was a bad idea. My heart was on the frits. How was this making me lose my nerve? I was so lost in my own thoughts I tripped. I was about to stop my fall when my weight seemed to vanish leaving me in the air.

"That was a close one." A brown-haired girl with huge brown eyes put me back on my feet.

"Thanks a ton. Bad impression to make on the first day." I laughed as the girls' eyes widened as she looked at me. "Is there something on my face?"

The girl blushed, "No you're good, oh no I mean there's nothing, you fine...yah." She was practically hopping up and down. "What class are you going to?" Her face a still a little red.

I pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to her, "This one."

"Oh class 1-A. Thats my class too!" Her enthusiasm was terrifying as if it was seeping into me. Making me twitch. With that one twitch I got a horrible feeling. "You must have been recommended like Todoroki, and Yaorashi. So, that means you are...." She stopped, thinking.

"It's Ren."

"Oh yah" Her personality screamed happiness I couldn't help it I grew more nervous just being around her. She didn't notice as I got twitchier. Crap I really thought I got rid of these habits. I tried to calm myself down. I only had a slight tremble. Did I really think I could do this? BE NORmal? One girl and I'm already shaking like a leaf. This was the worst idea I have ever had. Why didn't I just run away? Was it because? No it I can't let it be that. But still...

We walked into the class together. There were a couple of students there. One was moving his hands in a chopping motion. I walked in when he was talking, "Shinso you must have noticed that there was more to the exam than the rest of us when you saved that girl." The Robot stopped when he saw the girl standing next to me. I used the moment to slink into the back finding a chair by the window a couple of seats behind a blond kid with spiky hair. For some reason he looked...

"I can't wait to meet everybody!" The girl was moving her arm up and down as she said this. When I heard Aizawa's voice.

"If you are here to make friends you can just pack up your stuff now. Welcome to UA's Hero course. Now here put theses on," he unzipped the yellow sleeping bag he was in and held out a school gym uniform, "And met me outside."

"How did none of us notice him."

"Where did that uniform come from?"

All the students stood up and grabbed a uniform made for them. Expect me. I walked up to Mister Aizawa.

"Hm Sir." Aizawa watched me like a hawk. "I requested to have a long sleeve uniform."

"Yes, the hero support course made you two pieces they thought you would like with your wings." He went and grabbed them for me. "Here." I took them and walked off. As I walked to the boys' locker-room, I inspected the uniforms. One of the options had slots where I could slide my wings in then zip it up. The other had a very stretchy material on the back, with holes for my wings.

The others had gone ahead of me all expect Shin. "Hey bro" Shins' been trying his hardest to befriend me. We worked with each other cleaning the beach for months. It was hard distancing myself, so hard it didn't work. We became friends. Well to me he was a friend but the way I acted he probably thought I hated him. Or he probably figured out I didn't like talking. I don't really know, but the kid waited for me, so it was probably the latter.

"You didn't have to wait for me." Something inside of me bubbled up at the thought that he did.

"I Know. Your wings seem to be getting bigger every time I see you."

My heart skipped a beat, I have been letting them grow just a little bit every time. I didn't want them to know I could shrink them. So now when he sees them, they touch the ground almost to their full size.

"Yah it's been hurting like hell they've grown way too much in too short of a time. I'm not sure why. Hey, I have to go to the bathroom, I'll meet you out there." I ran to the bathroom and changed. I chose the stretchy back one and poked my wings through. It still felt wrong that they were out. It felt like at any minute a cold hand would come down onto my neck grasping until I couldn't breathe from the pain.

I carefully opened the door and walked outside of the bathroom. It was clear. No trailing eyes looking at me. I tried to compress my wings against my back as flat as possible. They dragged on the floor behind me. Having them their 'full size' felt good. It was like the pain you have when you sit in the same position for too long then you move. It wasn't as hard having them out because slowly over the cleaning the beach I've had my wings out around both of the baggie eyes.

I just have to act normal.

I walked up to the back of class well Mister Aizawa was telling them something about being expelled. I could hear the slight pause in his voice. He was clearly enjoying this.

He called the blonde Spiky head to come throw a ball. I studied the kid. I knew him but from where? Did I save him once? No, that wasn't it. Who was...? The boy used an explosive power to launch the ball. Causing a gust of air to invade the peace. The class all 'gapped' when Aizawa showed us the sore.

"First is the grip strength then long jump...." Aizawa gaze made everyone in the class shutter.

When the test began, I was once reminded how absolutely weak some of these kids are. My normal long jump was three times theirs. Instead of trying my hardest I half-assed the whole thing. The sad thing is with only half trying well not even that, I came in 4th place. I tried on the grip strength I quickly learned that I needed to hold back when I broke the machine. I told them it must have been faulty, so they gave me a new one and I got an 'average' score. On every exercise I only used my wings to boost my movements. Making it look like I needed them. It wasn't exactly flying, it was more like a chicken who could slow their fall and kinda control where they land, kinda. At least I made it look like I was trying my hardest.

"Looks like Mineta came in last place." I watched as the purple balled hair kid shrank into himself. "Th.."

"What's a hero course if you don't even give him a chance." I asked.

"Life's not far kid, and you'd me smart to learn it..." A dark glare silenced everyone, "...but, if you would let me finish, that was a ruse no one is going to be expelled. Now everyone go inside." Everyone was making a racket about what he just said. "Suzuki, stay here." The class all gave side glances as they headed back.

"Yah?" My voice trembled a little bit. I couldn't help it. He was clearly angry. Was it because I spoke up?

Memories flashed in my head. I unconsciously rub my neck.

"You half assed that, and you know it."

My heart froze as the line between him, and Master were being blend. He caught me in my lie. There was no way out of this he was going to make me do it again, and again, and....

"We are doing it again." I started to shake but he took it as anger. "Do it again or leave."

"Yes sir." I hated the fact that I said that instantly, why couldn't I just say no? I tried to do it 3/4 of my power on the first long jump already doubling the last score I got, but he saw straight through it.

"Again."

~~~~~~Flash Back~~~~~~~~

"Do it again."

Coughing up water. I collapsed to the ground.

"Get back in there. Do you want to go back? LEAVE this perfect place and spend all that time alone? Do you remember the place my little pup? Its where naughty animals go."

"Please, Master..........."

Master threw his fist into my gut. Making my breathing harder, water still being hacked up.

"We need to get over this little thing of you hating water. Guess you need to do it again." Master connected a leash to my neck and threw me into a tank of water. The leash connected to the bottom of the tank slowly dragging me under.

The last thing I heard before my ears were blinded by the water was, "You better pass out before those blasted wings come out."

~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~

My eye's glazed over. I did everything he told me to do. I did everything but my body forced me to hold back. My body tricking my mind I was doing my best. My mind was under submission, but my subconscious wasn't. I will not let him find out who I am.

"Do it again."

What! I did. This score would have been able to get first place, but I did it again without fail. Just doing it over and over again.

"Kid", I stopped in the middle of one of the tests, "What the hell are you doing."

"Wha-what--do you mean?" I cursed at myself for stuttering.

"You have wings." His voice was flat.

Carp (FISH FISH), I had them out but forgot to use them. How could I have made such a mistake?

"Now do it again."

I did everything again knowing that I did worse. Wow look at me the clumsy kid who can't even fly. Hopefully Aizawa will just kick me out now. Then I can go back to being the Phantom, the cool-headed shadow, not this, this kid who trips, and twitches. Sadly I knew that Ren, Ren is clumsy. He has fast relations but is clumsy. A kid who runs into doors. Forgets where he's going. A pathetic kid who can't fly.

"You just got four times your original score I get the feeling you're not trying your hardest."

Carp, this man was sharp. He made me redo all the tests. I destroyed all my past scores, but he still knew, how? The only one I didn't 'bet' that he didn't make me redo was the ball throwing. So, what was giving it away? I needed to find out.

This was going to be hard, but I could do it. The way I fought as the Phantom was like a cat. Fighting as Ren, moving as Ren. Breathing as Ren. It all has to be the exact opposite. If they see me fight. Eraser will know who I really am. My reactions need to slow down, they can be fast but slower. They can be fast, but it won't help when I fumble. I need to be less flexible, fight traditionally not how the Phantom fights.

"You made yourself redo those tests almost once plus every time. Don't ever do that again." Aizawa voice came out harsh, but you could feel that he meant what he said. "You are late to your next class get going."
