Chapter 36 - Quirk Assessment Test

"If you're just here to make friends you can pack up your stuff and leave."

Everyone was chatting when a male voice at the door found a man in a yellow sleeping bag lying on the floor. The students were not quite sure what to make of this new occurrence though.

'Who is this guy?' 

Each of them wondered as they looked at the scruffy face poking out of the sleeping bag.

"Welcome to UA's Hero Course." 

The man spoke as he stood up and unzipped the sleeping bag.

"It took you all eight seconds to quiet down, that's too long, time is precious, rational students would understand that."

The scruffy man scolded them, giving a disappointed tone examining each one of them. The man sat down on his chair.

 "I'm Shota Aizawa, your homeroom teacher. And my first impression of you all is...."

He narrowed his eyes looking around at his new student. Izuky was slightly surprised when he heard his name, recalling one underground hero who fit his teacher's description.

'Eraserhead? I didn't expect him to be our homeroom teacher and from my investigation he had expelled the whole class from the previous year."

Izuku before stepping foot to U.A after passing took the time to investigate, finding that the only Pro heroes that would teach are Vlad King and Eraserhead.

"I am not impressed." 

Aizawa then reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a number of P.E uniforms, tossing them to the students.

"It's kinda sudden, but put this on and go onto the field. Don't make me wait." 

He then left the room as quickly as he was in it, leaving everyone completely confused as to what happened.

"Wait, where's the field again?"

....

In only a few minutes the class of twenty found themselves on a practice field. Thankfully UA had some pretty good sign markers to lead students to locker rooms and practice fields. So this time no one got lost on the way there.

"A Quirk Assessment Test?" 

All the students questioned when they heard what they'd be doing.

"But what about Orientation? We're going to miss it."(Ochako)

"If you want to be a Pro you don't have time for pointless ceremonies." 

Aizawa replied slightly annoyed at her question.

"Here at UA we're not tethered to traditions. That means we get to run our classes however we see fit." 

With a quiet exhale Aizawa held up a phone-like device.

"You've been taking Standardized Athletics Tests your entire school lives; but you've never been allowed to use your Quirks. The Ministry of Education is still trying to pretend we're all created equal; and not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day they'll learn." 

Izuku, Itsuka, Jiro, Momo, and Katsuki just looked excited to finally test themselves against other students their age. They have spent a large majority of their time training therefore want to see how they would fare against people. 

Aizawa pulled out a phone from his pocket and showed a list of exercises to the students.

"You know how you did physical fitness tests in junior high? This will be like that, but you will be using your quirks to go even further in your scores."

Camie pouted and nudged Katsuki.

"U.A sure is tough huh? It's like our first day and they're already making us do some physical tests."

Katsuki rolled his eyes at his Girlfriend remark.

"Despite your Quirk, you are in peak physical condition. This will be easy for you."

"My~flattery will get you everywhere," 

She then tiptoed to reach Katsuki's ear and whispered.

"Especially in bed."

Katsuki froze while a vine haired girl seemed to perform a prayer from the playful girl. And Momo was looking scandalized as she stared at her friend. Izuku just snickered from the side before nudging at Her.

"Just ask, then we can wrestle in the bed~"

Her reaction was priceless even more so when his other girlfriends blush before whispering into his ear. 

"Careful now, you might end up dry if you tempt us."(Itsuka)

"Enough flirting or I'll expel you! Now then, Midoriya, since you were the one to get the highest score on the practical exam, walk into this circle." 

Aizawa instructed, pointing at the white circle outlined on the ground.

"I wonder what his quirk is? It might be powerful in the first place. " 

Said a girl with short messy pink hair, a pair of horns, and pink skin.

"That's so manly!"

Said a boy with spiky red hair while hitting his fist into his palm. 

Before anyone could say anything more, Aizawa turned to them all with menacing red eyes. 

"Shut it."

Everyone shut their mouths. Izuku walked inside the circle and stared at their teacher, waiting for instructions.

"How far can you pitch a softball in middle 

school?"

 Asked Aizawa while only Izuku shrugs.

"Around 90 meters I think."

Aizawa nodded, feeling a little impressed by that record. When he was at Izuku's age, he could only throw up to 75 meters or so.

"I want you to send this ball as far as you can using your quirk. You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle." 

As Aizawa said as he tossed Izuku a small softball which he caught easily.

"Sounds simple enough,"

Said Izuku clenched the ball tightly before his whole body was shrouded in white, gold and red lightning afterwards producing a powerful gust of wind startling the students except Bakugo, Momo and Came, who just watched in fascination.  Everyone was shocked, especially the blonde with black streak.

"Does he also have an electricity quirk like mine?

He grew interested to see someone with similar quirk and intently watched in hope if there's things to learn from the record breaker.

"Haaaa!!"

His throw was so powerful he caused a whirlwind to briefly appear, causing the other students to take a few steps back and cover their eyes and mouth to not let dust enter them.

"Holy shit! That was manly as hell!"

"He caused a tornado to appear just by throwing a ball! He really is the next All Might!"

"It's still weaker than All Might, kero."

After a few seconds the device in Aizawa's hands beeped, which made him slightly surprised at the result.

"Before anything else, one must know what they're capable of."

The pro-hero said as he showed what Izuku's score was, which was 2350.6 m. 

"This is a rational metric that will form the basis of your 'Hero Foundation'."

"Oh man, we're really up against these monsters!? Do we even need to try? They'd beat us anyway."

"2350.6 meters, that's so unreal!"

"Still, this looks so fun!"

Izuku couldn't help but frown when he heard someone said;

'Do we even need to try?' 

He also saw his girlfriends, Camie and Katsuki frowning as well.

'You'll face villains who will, most of the time, be in advantage and would probably beat you, but is that a reason to not try and give it your all?' 

He looked around the class shaking his head slightly disappointed. 

'With that kind of mindset, you're not suited to be a hero.'

Aizawa seems to have the same opinion too as he glared at everyone in class.

"Fun you say? Do you even need to try, you say?"

He took a deep breath.

"Egocentric villains, villains who hide in the shadows, psychopaths, once you become a pro you'd always find yourself in a disadvantageous position with your enemy knowing almost everything about you. You'll face a villain you can't beat no matter what you do, and knowing that, you're just going to give up?"

His glare intensified to the point that most 

students almost wet themselves.

"What about the people you swore to protect? You're just gonna leave them because you can't beat the villain? If so then pack up your things and leave! The hero course doesn't need someone like you!"

Izuku agreed with every word that their teacher spoke. It was the same words that his master taught him when he decided to roam the past of heroism.

"If you can't handle my teaching then feel free to drop out. Either way I don't care but since.."

His hair seem to stood up and his eyes glowed crimson. 

"...You said this is fun? All right then. In that case, new rule: The students who ranks last in total points will be judged 'Hopeless',"

The next words to leave the man's mouth sent a chill of dread through everyone.

"And instantly expelled."

Izuku knew he wasn't kidding when he said this. He did his research on U.A and found out that their homeroom teacher expelled the entire class last year as he deemed them hopeless.

"Our freedom means we can expel students as we please!" 

Aizawa said while pulling his hair back, an almost mad grin on his face.

 "Welcome to...The Hero Course!"

"WHAAAAAT!?" 

Everyone cried out instantly.

"H-He can't be serious! It's the first day!" 

The pink skinned girl said.

"B-But... This isn't fair!" 

Ochako cried out while Aizawa resisted the urge to roll his eyes at this naivety. Though, he was impressed at the Izuku and his group having a burning desire to show their worth.

"Life's not fair kid, get over it. Some are born with powerful quirk, some don't and have to work hard because of it, some are born rich while others could barely feed themselves. This is reality."

Aizawa gave a menacing grin at them causing them to quiver in fear.

"Give your Plus Ultra performance, there's no way you'll ever become real heroes if you don't."

From there, the rest of the tests began.
