Chapter 3
Last Time
"This isn't supposed to be fun, life isn't fair. There are villains and disasters, which can appear unexpectedly, and you need to be ready for such things and so it is time you all step up to the plate." Aizawa said looking at the entire class.
Present
"Alright now the first trial will be a 50-meter dash." Aizawa said as he started calling up people to the line.
Ryu took his place behind the line right beside Mineta, who was in the other lane.
"Go!"
The moment the words were out Aizawa's mouth, Ryu was already at the halfway marker causing people to blink before he crossed the finish line with Mineta finishing some seconds behind him.
"1.67 seconds." Aizawa stated hiding his shock from the students. 'I watched the footage of him in the exams and thought his quirk was some type of super strength though it doesn't explain how he is able top move so fast unless he as a second quirk or his quirk is something else entirely.'
Ryu watched as it was Izuku's turn frowning as he got 7.02 seconds. 'Come on man, I know your dream is to become a hero, so don't go and get yourself expelled.'
"Next is the grip strength test." Aizawa said as he started recording the scores of everyone before it was Ryu's turn as he got 150 KGW.
As the trials kept coming Ryu was able to pass all of them with an average or above average score before the last trial came in the form of pitching the ball like Bakugo had done.
Ryu couldn't help but let out a whistle as he saw Ochako got a score of infinity on her pitch before Ryu stepped up to the plate.
"I know I can't beat Ochako's score so here I go." Ryu said throwing the ball and grin as at the score he gotten was 967 meters.
Walking to stand beside the crowd of students Ryu saw it was Izuku's turn and was disappointed when he got 47 meters before looking at Aizawa and saw he was staring at Izuku.
"If your wandering what happened, I erased your quirk. What I want to know is how someone like you managed to get into the academy."
A light bulb went off in Ryu's head, "You're the underground hero 'Eraserhead' you have the ability to erase someone's quirk by looking at them." Ryu said though wondering why he was giving Izuku a hard time until heard it.
"Did you believe someone would come save you after you crippled yourself again?" Aizawa asked Izuku.
'Cripple yourself? Does Izuku not have full control of his quirk?' Ryu thought before he heard Aizawa speaking.
"I've given you back your quirk, try to pitch the ball…and try not to cripple yourself." He said giving Izuku a ball.
Ryu grinned as Izuku threw the ball as it flew through the air before looking at Izuku's hand and his eyes widened seeing that his index finger looked broken. 'It looks like you really don't know how to control that quirk yet.'
"I did it Sensei." Izuku hissed in slight pain, "And I can still move."
Ryu couldn't help but be creeped out at the smile Aizawa was giving Izuku.
"What the hell Deku! You better start explaining shit head!" Bakugo yelled charging at Izuku with his quirk.
Bakugo wasn't able to get far as he found himself stuck in midair. "It would be best to cool down dude. No reason to get into a fight on the first day of school. So how about you calm down and I'll let you down." Ryu said causing the students to turn around and see Ryu holding out his hand.
Bakugo fell to the ground while Ryu sighed, "You could have just told me to put him down not erase my quirk and drop him." He said looking at his sensei.
"Shut up, we're wasting time so get ready for the next trail." Aizawa said walking off.
Ryu followed the others to the next trial letting Ochako worry over Izuku for him.
After all the trials were over Ryu knew for sure he wasn't last though he couldn't say the same for Izuku.
"The score is the aggregate sum of your scores. If I recited all your scores it'd take a million years, so I'll show them all at once." Aizawa said clicking a button lighting up the board with their scores. "Oh, and that whole expulsion thing was a lie. I was just trying to pull out your best performances."
Almost everyone couldn't help but look at their teacher wide-eyed, "Of course it was a lie, did you all seriously believe him." Yaoyorozu said.
Ryu scoffed at her words, 'You were scared like the rest of us and it wasn't a ruse. Something or someone had to have changed his mind on the decision to expel last place.' He thought looking at Izuku as he left to go to the nurses office.
After classes were over Ryu couldn't help but sigh in relief as he looked up at the clear sky.
"Ryu-san!" A voice called out making Ryu turn around to see the girl with pink skin, whose name was Mina was waving at him.
"Hey Mina-san, do you need something?" Ryu asked as Mina walked up to him.
"I was just wondering what did you do to Bakugo back there when he went to attack Midoriya." She asked.
"I froze him in place and that's the only answer you'll get. After all it's fun to see people guess what my quirk is." Ryu said as he started to walk away before disappearing shocking Mina making her even more curious.
Next Day
Ryu looked at the clock and couldn't help but sigh as he listened to Present Mic, who was their teacher for English class.
He looked over to Mineta and saw him holding a book before seeing it was a ruse as used the book to cover up the magazine of female heroes.
"Hey Mineta, do you have an extra one?" Ryu whispered and grinned when he pulled an extra out of nowhere before handing it to him with a grin and bumping fist.
Ryu used Mineta's tactic using the book as a cover as he turned towards the page that had a picture of Mount Lady. 'What I wouldn't give to tap that.' He thought turning his head to see Mineta nodding his head and saw he was looking at the same picture as he gave a thumbs up towards Ryu seeing they were on the same page.
Through all the classes Ryu would look through the magazine he got from Mineta if the class was boring before the bell signifying lunch rang.
Ryu took a seat beside Mineta in the cafeteria as they started to discuss the girls in the class. "Sorry but I can't agree with you on that."
"Have you seen how big her chest is why wouldn't you pick Yaoyorozu." Mineta said arguing the point that Momo was the hottest girl in the glass.
"Nope, the size of the chest isn't all that matters dude. That is why I pick Mina." Ryu said.
"You pick me for what?" Mina asked walking over to them after hearing her name called.
Ryu slapped his hand over Mineta's mouth, "Nothing important." Ryu chuckling before Mina shrugged her shoulders and walked off.
"Mineta, you have to learn a girl's personality before you state anything on your mind. I don't know enough about Mina's that there was a small chance she might label us as perverts if we told her what we were talking about." Ryu said taking his hand off Mineta's mouth.
"But we are perverts, you especially. Didn't you tell me you told Mount Lady herself that you would definitely fuck her." Mineta countered.
"Yeah but they don't know that. If you get labeled a pervert, then it is almost impossible to get a girlfriend unless they don't care that you are one." Ryu argued with Minta nodding his head in understanding.
"Your right, hey what class do we have next?" Mineta wondering if he would be able to read his magazine through it.
"It is called Foundational Hero Studies, meaning this class is really important so you got to pay attention." Ryu said as the bell signifying lunch was over rang as he started walking to his next class with Mineta beside him.
Taking a seat Ryu couldn't help but sweat drop when the door was suddenly thrust open. "IT'S MEEE! Coming through the door like a normal person!" Shouted out All Might waking in.
Ryu listened as some students went nuts finding out the #1 hero All Might was going to be their teacher.
"Foundational Hero Studies. In this class we'll be building up your Hero Foundation through various trials. So, lets jump right in with this. The Trail of Battle!" All Might said causing most of the class to get excited.
"And to go with your first battle we've prepared the gear we had you send in requests for to match your quirks." All Might said as a wall opened up displaying a bunch of cases. "Each case corresponds to your seat number, so get geared up and meet me at Grounds B."
Ryu walked over to his case with a grin and fist bumped with Mineta as they went to get suited up. "Let's see whose gear is better." Ryu said with his new friend Mineta nodding.
After everyone got geared up Mineta couldn't help but sigh as he handed a grinning Ryu five bucks. The reason for this was because while they were changing they made a bet that the one with the better costume would get five bucks.
Ryu's outfit consisted of a long black hooded trench coat with a pair of black cargo pants, steel toed boots, and fingerless gloves.
"You look cool and all, but shouldn't you wear a mask, so people can't see what your face looks like?" Mineta questioned.
Ryu nodded, "That is what the hood is for." He said as he pulled the hood up as his face disappeared and no matter what angle you tried looking at it from all a person would be able to see is darkness.
"Ryu-san what's that on your back?" Mina asked.
"Well I was taught at a young age not to always rely on my quirk, so I took to training with a weapon, and I've always been partial to using a scythe, after all you never know when you might meet someone like Aizawa Sensei and can erase your quirk." Ryu said as he took the scythe off his back and twirled it between his fingers with ease.
Ryu looked over at Izuku before covering his mouth to stop himself from laughing out loud.
Mineta pat his back, "You alright?" Ryu nodded his head before look at everyone's costumes before seeing his eyes widened seeing Momo's as he turned Mineta's head to see what he is seeing, and the small hero couldn't help it as a small amount of blood dripped out of his nose.
"Alright listen up!" All Might said as he got their attention. "This will be an indoor Battle Trial. Some of you are probably thinking 'what does he mean by indoors, well let me explain, villain cleanup is usually seen out in the open, but most crimes happen indoors. So, for this test you'll be separated into 'Villain' and 'Hero' groups for a two-on two team battle!"
"So how do we determine who wins and loses?" Momo asked.
"Is it okay if we just blow them away?" Bakugo asked with a smile.
We'll we be under the threat that we'll be expelled if we get a bad score." Ochako asked.
If we're separating into different groups, what would be the best way to do so?" Iida asked.
"I can't hear you if you all speak at once!" All Might shouted out causing them all to get silent. "For this training the 'Villains' will be guarding a nuclear weapon that they intend to deploy. It is up to the 'heroes' to stop them and their schemes before it is too late. The rule on how to win is that the heroes must either subdue the villains or reach the nuclear core before time runs out. For the 'Villains' to win they must either defend the core the whole time or capture the 'heroes' to win."
All Might then pulled out a box, "Your teammates will be chosen by lots."
Ryu drew his lot, "Looks like I'm on Team C." He looked to see that his Partner was Mineta and Momo.
"You are probably wondering why there are three in one team. It was because of the uneven numbers and to make things fair the team to face them will get another team member." All Might said.
Ryu couldn't help but sweat drop at the amount of destruction at the amount of destruction that Bakugo and Izuku had caused in their battle. 'Bakugo acts more like a villain than a hero.' He thought as he looked at everyone's trials.
"It looks we'll be the villains." Mineta said as they were called by All Might to be the 'Villains' against Team G, which consisted of Jirou, Denki, and Iida.
"Alright if we intend to win it would best if one of us were to stall them." Momo said as both her teammates nodded their heads.
"I'll do it, out of the three I'm fast enough to keep up with Iida." Ryu said with Momo nodding in agreement remembering his time in the 50-meter dash.
"Hey Mineta, I need two of your grapes just of as precaution. Also, how about you use them as traps for when they arrive." Mineta nodded as he started to place the balls on his head on the floor near the door and around the room in case Iida captured Ryu.
"The test has now begun!" All Might announced
Putting his hood on Ryu made his way through the halls before he saw Jirou and Denki. 'Wait where is Iida?" He turned in time to jump back seeing Iida behind him with capture tape.
"It was logical to send you here to stall or capture us." Iida said as Ryu jumped into the air as Denki tried to capture him.
"You could be right, but what makes you think I might not ask for help and my teammates aren't hiding ready to ambush you." Ryu bluffed and grinned inwardly seeing the doubt on their face.
"You're just stalling for time." Jirou said pointing at him.
Ryu shrugged, "Maybe I am or maybe I'm not. You really don't know." He said as Iida shot towards him only to find himself stuck in place as he looked down to see he was stepping on the balls that were a part of Mineta's quirk.
"Or maybe I was just trying to lure you into a trap." Ryu said as he captured Iida before looking at the other heroes as they ran towards the direction of the nuclear core before he heard a shout.
Making his way to where his teammates were he saw that the 'heroes' were stuck on the balls that were Mineta's quirk with capture tape on them.
"The Villain Team Wins!" All Might shouted as Ryu fist bumped Mineta and high-fived Momo.
Next Day
Ryu couldn't help but get annoyed at all the reporters swarming him and his classmates once it was let out that All Might was teaching them.
"Tell us young man, what is it like to be taught by All Might!" A reporter shouted over the other voices shoving a microphone into his face.
He took a deep breath moving the microphone out of his face before shoving past all of them to get to class.
"I'm sorry to spring this on all of you, but we need a class president." Aizawa said as almost all the class shouted to be president and why.
"My manifesto as president: all girls must expose 30 cm of thigh!" Mineta shouted with a raised hand.
"I nominate Mineta for Class President!" Ryu shouted with a raised hand hearing his reason for presidency.
"All of you be quiet!" Iida shouted. "This is a position of responsibility, where you must carry and the weight of your fellow classmates. It is a holy office that requires the great esteem and trust of those around you, which is why this must be settled by a vote!"
'Man, I think he is taking this too seriously.' Ryu thought.
"It's still too early to have developed any trust in each other. So, most people are going to vote for themselves." Tsuyu stated.
"That is precisely why the person with the most votes will be the most trusted person." Iida stated.
'After hearing Mineta's manifesto, I'm definitely voting for him.' Ryu thought.
In the end Izuku got the most votes which was three and Momo and Mineta came in second with two votes. Though Ryu saw that only Momo and Mineta looked like they wanted the position, while Izuku looked scared to death.
Mineta turned to Ryu giving him a thumbs up with Ryu returning it with a grin on his face.
"Alright then the president will be Midoriya and the vice-president will be Yaoyorozu." Aizawa stated after Mineta said he was going to step out of the running since he wouldn't be allowed to make rules, such as getting the girl's to show off some more skin.
After the morning classes Ryu and Mineta were eating lunch talking to their classmates about the battles yesterday until an alarm went off.
"Security Level 3 has been breached. Students, please promptly evacuate." A voice said over the speaker.
"What the hell is security level 3?" Ryu asked only to see Mineta shrug his shoulders as he went to leave only to find Ryu holding him back.
"I wouldn't do that, with your height and the panic your more likely to become road kill." Ryu stated and Mineta couldn't help but cringe at the idea of himself being a pancake.
It looked like Ryu had the right idea, cause by the time they stepped out of the cafeteria the situation had been defused by Iida and it had been just a bunch of reporters that had gotten in and at the end of it all Izuku had given his position up to Iida.
After school was over Ryu started to walk home while looking at the sky before bumping into someone.
He looked down to see it was a girl with wavy blonde hair, blue eyes and a pair of lyre-shaped white horns.
"Sorry about that I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings, "Ryu said as he helped the girl up.
"It's alright, I should have been paying more attention." The girl said tripping over some of her words.
"You must be new to Japan; my name is Ryu of Class 1-A." He said holding out his hand making the girl smile as she shook his hand.
"My name is Pony of Class 1-B and yes I am from the United States and am still having trouble learning." Pony said.
"Well it was nice to meet you Pony and if you ever need help just come to me or your classmates." Ryu said as he started to walk off.
"Thank you and it was nice to meet you too Ryu." Pony said walking off as well.
