Day One
Day one in class was... Interesting.
I woke up early that morning. I did check upon check on my bag, making sure everything was in place before I made my way out the door, just as I was about to close it, I heard a "Wait!" from inside, and someone moving quickly to the door. Opening it again, my mum jumped on me and gave me a tight hug, before pulling away and looking at me with proud eyes. "I'm so proud of you Izuku. So proud. I did try to make your costume for you, but, well, with your recent... Changes, the suit you made wouldn't exactly work any more. I'm sorry. But by the time you get home I should have a little something special for you!" she excitedly spurted out, before giving me another hug and sending me on my way. "Go on, you don't want to be late for your first day at UA!"
I got on the train, and it wasn't as packed as usual, I even got a seat. People all around me chatted. To my great pleasure, one of the picture on the carriage wall was of me! Well, they didn't know that. It was a picture of me against the night sky, wings outstretched, sparks flowing off them, thankfully bright enough to hide my face. It was truly stunning. The text bellow was small and white, just a link to somebody's Instagram page, Peter-something or other.
While I was looking at it and smiling, I heard a conversation from the seats across from me. "Wow, are those UA uniforms?" A muscular man says to his pink haired friend "Yeah, it is, do you recognise them?" "No, they must me first years. What do you think their quirks are?" "Hmmmm, The green haired one looks pretty plain, maybe a telekinesis quirk? And the black haired chick has a pretty sweet bod, maybe gigantification?" They discuss as I process what they said.
'They?'
I turn my head to the left and jump as I see a girl asleep in the seat next to me. She was wearing the UA uniform, and to my embarrassment, was extremely pretty. Her long, silky black hair was tied up in a loose ponytail, which was just brushing my shoulder due to her slumping over in her sleep. She was quite tall, I had grown very quickly since my quirk manifested, and was nearly 6 feet tall, but she was only a little shorter than me. Blushing a little, i leaned over and gave her a couple gentle nudges, waking her up.
"Hey, sorry to wake you up, but we're nearly there, you are going to UA right?" I ask her gently as she sits up in her seat and looks around groggily, before her eyes land on me. "Ah, yes. Sorry about that. I'm not used to public transport, so I took a seat next to you since, well, we're going to the same place" She points to her uniform. "well, my name is Momo, Momo Yaoyorozu, and I'm in class 1A at UA. What about you?" she questions.
"I'm Izuku Midoriya, and same here!".
We happily chat to each other as we make our way off the train and to UA, quickly becoming fast friends. Outside, we push our way through a crowd of media, trying to brush off question after question from the reporters. "Are you the new students?" "Is it true someone in the exam showed signs of having 2 quirks?" "Is it true All Might is teaching here this year?" "What course are you on? Is it the hero course?". We successfully make our way through the mess of media, and once more stand in the gateway of UA. I look forward in awe once more at the colossal building before me, gleaming in the bright summer sky. I stare for a good few seconds before Momo snaps me back to reality, "Come on, you don't want to be late for your first day" She calls from in front, and I jog to catch up.
"Did you hear the rumour going around town? Apparently someone in the exam showed signs of having two quirks! Can you believe it? TWO! Well, noboddy can be that powerful, it's impossible!" Momo suddenly proclaimed with excitement, looking me with eyes of wonder and amazement, her memory jogged by the media. "Speaking of which, what's your quirk?" she asks curiously, "Umm, aha, yeah. Well actual-...". I was cut off my a dark blue haired guy running between us at incredible speed, right towards the building. "Oh crap! We're gonna be late!" I spurt out as I began to run with Momo in pursuit, glad of the distraction from the awkward question.
Running down the spacious corridors, we come to a large door with two minutes to spare gasping for air. Looking at each other and nodding, we pushed open the doors to our new class. 'I just hope that he didn't get in, Bakug...' I begin to think to myself as I step in, but get cut off by Baguko arguing with Iida about how he's acting, but they both stop the moment I step in the doors, one looking at me with angry amazement, the other with admiration. "DEKU!!! HOW DID YOUR WEAK ASS GET IN HERE!!!" Bakugo screamed across the room, puzzling Momo, before Iida ground to a halt in front of me and fell into a deep bow.
Before I could stop him, he spoke, "I misjudged you, however quiet I was about it. I took you as a weak pushover, but to be able to utilise two quirks in such a way, that was... Incredible...". Freezing, I slowly turned my head to look at Momo, who was clearly processing what he had just said as the class fell silent and looked over. "Wait a minute, two?" She slowly asked, her eyes slowly widening before jolted her head to look at me, utter shock on her face. "Aha, umm, yeah I guess you could say that" I muttered, blushing and rubbing the back of my neck as I stared at the floor.
I could feel the tidal wave of questions building up from the class, but just before they could cascade down upon me, I felt an ominous presence behind me, and a gruff, tired voice murmur "In your seats. Now.2"
After a short welcome, Aizawa invited us onto the field, and explained the Quirk Apprehension Test to us. To put it simply, a series of tests, where we were able to use our quirks freely. To start with, I was exited to show my new class what I had, as Momo and several others kept on glancing at me when they thought I wasn't looking. However, as each test was announced, my heart sank further and further, until I was kicked down even further by what Aizawa said next.
"Whoever comes last, gets expelled."
The students around me began to look worried, a short, purple haired kid even looked like he was about to cry, but none were as worried as I was.
Grip strength
Repeated side steps
Ball throw
Seated toe-touches
Sit ups
50 meter dash
Standing long jump
Distance run
Out of 8 tests, my quirks could only deal with the final three...
In the first and second test, nobody really paid attention to my failures. Only a lucky few had quirks suited to the grip strength test, and even fewer for the side steps. But when my ball throw was done between Bakugo and the brown haired girl I saved, who got 705.2 meters and infinite respectively, my 56.7 meters was pitiful. And people noticed. I saw an electric yellow haired guy whisper something to a girl with a frog quirk, who whispered back.
On the seated toe-touches and the sit ups, I did a little worse than average, not notably, but i could feel people's gazes burn into me as I pitifully did sit up after sit up.
That's when I felt my heart lift slightly, as I saw the 3 that were left.
50 meter dash
Standing long jump
Distance run
Smiling to myself a little, I position myself at the starting line with a pink skinned girl, who smiled at me warmly, and looked a little upset. "Sorry I can't let you win, but I want to be a hero as well, and I can't do that if I'm expelled, I hope you understand" She apologetically whispered to me, and I give her a smile and a nod back as she turned to face the track.
3!
"I'm sorry as well, I can't lose either" I murmur, which caused her to look at me confusedly
2!
She gave a tiny squeal of shock as she watched me unfurl a gargantuan set of white wings, tiny rivers of sparks flowing off them, and I smirked as I heard a set of "Oooo"s from my watching classmates, who's eyes had quickly gone from bored to amazed.
1!
I raised my wings forward, ready to beat, as I entered the racers start position.
Go!
With all my might, I pushed my wings as hard as I, causing me to shoot over the track like a bullet, horizontal, my body centimetres from the ground below me. Looking down all I see is a tiny slip of white as I cross the finishing line, not even having a chance to beat my wings again. Rotating wings slightly, I flicked straight upwards to slow down and fall, before i gave another gentle beat, which landed me softly on the ground, next to the finish line, and looked at the race robot as I waited for it to announce the times
Mina Ashido: 6.98 seconds
Izuku Midoriya: 0.83 seconds
I smiled as I saw my classmates previously disappointed turn to shock and awe. I was just folding my wings back in when I felt a strong, tape like fabric wrap around me, and pull me sharply. As soon as I stopped, I was face to face with Aizawa, his eyes glowing red, and his brow furrowed.
"What are you? In front of me, over the past couple months you have displayed 3 very distinct quirks. At first I assumed you had an adaptation type quirk, which while very rare, is possible. But no, for the past 5 tests, you have shown downright poor abilities, if your quirk was adaptation, surely you would have used it before now, and there's better things for a race than wings..." He appeared lost in thought for a moment before sighing, and closing his eyes, releasing his quirk and the binds. "Whatever. do your best"
The rest was a breeze after that, the 1500 meter run I completed in 25 seconds, lapping most of my classmates. And of course, the long jump got simply marked down as infinite. At the scoreboards though, I received my biggest shock.
#20th place: Izuku Midoriya
It wasn't enough, 3 victories were not enough to make up for 5 crushing losses. Everyone looked at my sadly as Aizawa approached me, and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Izuku Midoriya, you are... Completely fine!" He said with a slight laugh and a smile, much to the shock of me and the class. "Meerly a logical ruse to bring out your best!" He chuckled as he walked back inside.
"Class dismissed, see you all tomorrow!"
Wow. I did have a little more to write, but this chapter is already 3 times as long as the second longest chapter I've ever written. This was a surprise, but well done if you made it all the way through! See you in the next chapter. (1926 words btw)
