As the girls sat in the dorms doing homework, it's genealogy of quirk development and hereditary traits. So basically, how quirks get passed down from parent to child and how mutations on the quirks can happen. As such the girls all requested Momo's help and it was going well until Mina had a thought after reading a passage in her text.
"So, hey, if I'm reading this right," displaying the page to the girls. "Doesn't this say guys have stronger quirks?" This comment ground the other discussions to a halt.
"What are you talking about?" Momo asked.
"Right here," pointing to the page. "Doesn't this say, that men's quirks develop more to an extreme than it does to a mean."
Everyone turned to the page Mina brought up. "Well it does say that statistically men are more likely to be an extreme, that doesn't preclude them from being closer to average or that women can't also hit those same extremes, kero." Ribbited Tsuyu.
"Okay but let's think about the guys in our class. Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugo are obviously on the far end of powerful quirks, while Mineta and Sero are pretty weak compared." Ururaka added.
"Now hang on, let's think about this for a second, what even is power?" Hagakure had to ask. "Sure we can look at those three and just know, that is what power is, but I think of us the only one with as much destructive power is Jiro, and even then she needs to gear to start coming close to the power that some of the guys can put out."
"Hey, what about me? Also isn't this discussion worthless?" Jiro barked out.
"What do you mean?" Momo inquired, this discussion was still somewhat on topic to their homework so she allowed it to continue and she did also have a slight interest in it as well.
"What I mean" Jiro continued, "Is that, this, is a hero school, obviously it will take those whose quirks hit more towards the high end in terms of power, which we still haven't even defined yet. So using the guys as a sample, isn't right, since we can't really compare our quirks to theirs." This got a few nods from the other girls.
"Yeah, you're right," Mina agreed, "We need to compare similar quirks to each other. So who do we know who have similar quirks?"
"Sato and Midoriya have similar quirks," Tsuyu croaked out.
"Yeah but we all know whose stronger of the two of them." Momo concluded.
"Kirishima and Tetsutetsu have similar quirks." Ururaka stated.
"Too similar, we saw them at the sports festival, they might as well be clones."
"Cloning, cloning," pondered Hagakure. "THAT'S IT!" she shouted.
"What, what's it?" Asked Mina.
"Cloning, that jerk from 1-B has a cloning quirk, so all we need to do is get him to use our quirks and see if he does it stronger." Hagakure stated. "Right?"
"It's probably the closest we are going to get to an answer." Jiro finished. "Unless anyone wants to ask Todoroki how he compares to his brothers and sisters." Everyone inwardly cringed at the idea of opening that mess of family drama.
"Now we just 'kindly' ask him to replicate our quirks."
2 Hours Later.
"Let's never do that again," whined Mina. Which was agreed upon unanimously.
5 Minutes Later.
"Hey, you ever wonder why…" only to be interrupted by everyone throwing a book at the pink-skinned girl.
Author's Notes.
This was more of an observation I noticed. Most of the guys have strong quirks, Todoroki, Midoriya and Bakugo. Then the top Three Pros were All Might, Endeavor and Best Jeanist. Two of the Big Three were guys, and the Eight Precepts of Death and League of Villains are all guys excepting Himiko.
Now there are some problems with my observation, besides Midoriya and Todoroki, who get their quirks from their parents. Yes Dadmight. But beyond Tetsutetsu and Kirishima, which seemed to me played more as a joke than for serious. No one really has similar quirks. There isn't someone who can move fast, but maybe not as fast as Iida, or someone else who makes Acid like Mina does. So the problem with that idea is that we don't really have comparable quirks to gauge this off of. Which is obvious, they don't need to write another character who has "X's quirk but weaker", as that would make no sense to have that character. So canon explanation is out.
However there was going to be second part to this, but it felt more like a retread, why do more of the guys quirks seem inherently offensive, though looking at it, a higher percentage of the girls, in 1-A, have offensive quirks.
Defining Offensive Quirk, a quirk that by just the activation alone begins causing damage to the surrounding area.
So Mina begins making acid and Jiro starts emitting pulses. While with the guys, Todoroki, Bakugo, Kaminari are the only with quirks that by turning them on causes damage.
So the idea was somewhat self-defeating there was no way to test it, but I still think it would be interesting on the idea that of the guys we see, they tend to have a higher level of power in the quirk itself, or their quirk has very low power and they have to be creative with it. Now obviously a place like U.A. would want people on the extreme, one way or another so someone with an okay quirk probably wouldn't make it in. But if they could design like a power level system and then we can see how many people have quirks that would be beyond what a quirkless person could replicate with 20 bucks at a Wal-Mart.
As for the ending, no there is no official, what happened when they asked. It's up to you to decide how that ended.
Til next, stupid idea.
Also anything that hit's the Drabble Chapters is fair game if someone wanted to make a story out of it. Not that you need my permission or anything.
