A/N:
Anyways for the real announcement, I finally got an editor! I bribed him with Jack-In the Box (true story). Anyways this story is going to be rewritten and improved now that I can swap ideas with someone but I wanted to at least post this chapter because I had spent so much time on it researching Mio's power, trying to set limitations, how she would interact with others and all that. So I'll be working on that for the next week and maybe finally be able to update sooner. This chapter isn't fully edited but since I want to get started on the new version I'm just posting it how it is. Look forward to the new version, it will be funnier than this one would ever be!
Chapter 3
It's been a couple of days since the entrance exam, nothing to much to talk about other than when this guy tried to jump me while I was out with Aoi. Long story short, he won't be doing much jumping anymore... or walking... or even standing.
The reason why I was her was because she just so happened to get free tickets to the new hero movie "Copper Man And the Red Eagle".
I had struck a weird relationship with her, she would do me a favor and I'll let her stay in Jun's room for a couple of minutes. Though I told her no more cameras after I found a couple hidden in his room.
I had just come back from getting ice cream with Aoi when I noticed a package on the table along with a note.
"Mio, this came in for you in the mail. Your dad and I won't be back until later but dinner is in the fridge. -Love, Mom"
Taking the package, I headed to my room which was an All Might shrine. I had limited edition All Might merchandise thanks to my dad working in the same office that promoted all of All Might's merchandise. Though there were a couple of other hero stuff like Present Mic's CD's, Eraser Head plush, the Wild Wild Pussy Cats signed poster.
Sitting on my bed I pulled out a metal disc from the package, "What's this supposed to be?"
Placing it down, the disc lit up to show All Might, "I am here as a projection!"
"Oh my god! It's All Might!" I squealed.
"Actually, I came to this town to work at U.A."
"You have passed the written exam with a perfect score as well as 82 points on the practical making you in first place! However, the entrance exam the other day was not graded only on villain points! There was also a hidden system as rescue point!" All Might then turned the TV next to him on displaying me destroying the robot that was going to hit Kirishima.
"While it was on debate whether you were helping young Kirishima," the screen then showed me swinging him around like a bat. "You helped your fellow examinees by destroying the Zero Point Robot to give them enough time to escape! Which is why the panel has decided to give you 35 Rescue Points! Making your total score 117!"
I couldn't believe it as the screen then showed my name in first place above everyone else.
All Might then extended his hand, "Come, Young Shimizu. This is your hero academia!"
I did not cry that day but some dust did fly into my eye.
(Time Skip)
I stood in front in the mirror admiring myself in my new uniform. Navy blue skirt, white shirt with a gray blazer, red tie and black safety shorts that reached above my knees. You never know when you get the urge to fly or end up in a fight, you don't want to go flashing people!
Once I had told my parents I had passed and in first place they looked so proud like when they would look at Jun. Aoi even got me the special limited edition All Might sweater, red headphones and a new pair of fingerless gloves. They were made of red leather, the knuckle part were made of a special hard material that gave my punches extra force to them. You can say they packed quite a punch!
I made sure the hair on my left side was clipped with a red barret before sighing. I lamented having to cut my hair short but after the exam, the ends were singed so I had no choice. That didn't mean I wasn't devastated, it had taken me forever to grow it and sure I could have just asked my mom to grow it for me but I took more pride in it knowing that I grew it out naturally. Now it barely reached the nape of my neck, it was layered with the ends curling up a bit, and the right side was longer, reaching my collar bone.
(Look up Superboy female on google images, it should be the first picture.)
"Mio! Breakfast is ready," my mom called.
"Morning, mom," I said putting my bag beside my chair.
"Good morning honey," she replied placing a plate of pancakes infront of me. I thanked her before digging in. "Today is your first day! I'm so proud of you!" She gushed making me blush a bit in embarrassment.
"Than-"
"If only your brother was here then it would be perfect!" She said cutting me off, "Ah, I miss him so much but he's out there helping others around the world and-"
I started to tune her out as she went on about Jun. It always happens, no matter what I do Jun is always brought up into any conversation even if he's here or not.
My mom, Rio Shizume, had long red hair and blue eyes. She owned a pretty popular hair salon and with the help of her quirk that let her manipulate hair to a small extent such as growing it longer and either darkening or lightening it's color.
My father, Jyugo Shizume, had black hair and green eyes and worked at advertising company but not just any company. The company specialized in hero merchandise, specifically All Might merch. They would even give him free samples, which was why my room was decked out in limited edition and ultra rare hero merch.
We were a pretty ordinary family and although they said they loved my brother and me equally, there was always a look of pride when they talked about Jun. And even though they didn't go around bragging about him, you could tell they were the most proud of him.
"-and try not to pick a fight with anyone, okay? Try to make some friends, I bet Jun made a lot of friends by now." She continued having not noticed I had stopped listening awhile ago. I quickly finished my plate before grabbing my bag and heading towards the shoe rack.
"Thanks for the food mom, but I have to go!"
"Okay, be careful!" She called out.
"Yes, mom. Bye!" I basically bolted out the door as fast as I could with out using my quirk.
"Stupid Jun, always getting all the attention. He's not even here and its still all about him!" I started complaining as I made my way to school. I only stopped once I could see the gates of U.A. This was the beginning of my hero career, there was no turning back now.
"You can do this Mio!" I took in a deep breath walking through the gates and admiring my new school for the next three years.
Walking down the hallway, I looked for my classroom coming to a stop at a huge door with a giant 1-A on it. There was no mistaking it, this was my classroom.
Calming my nerves, I opened the door and walked in. There were only five people inside; a guy with dual colored hair, a girl with long hair in a ponytail, a guy with six arms, one with a tail, and the last one with glasses.
'Shit! They're looking at me! Come on Mio, be cool.'
"Morning," I said. Only three replied back while one just nodded and the last one remained indifferent. Noticing the seating arrangement on the blackboard, I noticed I was the last person in the second row (seat #10) right next to the dual colored guy. I placed my bag down and put on my headphones I always had with me.
I try to keep a up a cool, nonchalant image when I see the boy with glasses head my way.
"Hello! My name is-"
*Slam*
The door slammed opened revealing a girl with pink skin and horns talking enthusiastically to a familiar red headed boy.
"Please have more resp-"
"Ah!" I yelled interrupting the boy. "You're the one who gets hard all the time."
"Mio!" He called back as the girl next to him bursts out laughing.
"Hahaha she said haha that you get hahaha," she couldn't even finish before she continued laughing.
"I mean I guess you can say that," the red head blushed looking a bit flustered. "But how have you been? I'm so glad we're in the same class, I haven't seen you since you took down that zero point robot! That was so cool and manly- Oh! But I mean it in a good way." He tried to explain.
"It's cool," I laughed. "I get it but yeah, it's good to see you too."
"Oh! You're the one who Kirishima was telling me about! Wow, you're really tall. I'm Mina Ashido, nice to meet you." She said all energetically. Considering I was almost 5'9, I was considered tall for a girl. As I looked at her, I could immediately tell she was a very hyperactive person.
"Nice to meet you too, call me Mio. Hope we can get along, " I replied.
"Then you can call me Mina!" She smiled.
We talked a bit as the classroom slowly started filling up with in my opinion quite odd individuals. I actually wondered how some of them got in to the heroics department.
As we were heading towards our designated seat, a blond boy slammed the door opened trying to look like a boss before sitting behind where the invisible girl was sitting. He leaned back placing his feet on the table when glasses boy started yelling at him for being disrespectful. Quite honestly they were both annoying and loud, I almost didn't notice the door opening again.
The boy who opened looked pretty plain with the only thing making him stand out being his freckles and curly green hair. Soon all the attention was on him making him go all nervous.
"Good morning!" Glasses said. "I am from Somei Private Academy. My name is-"
"I heard!" The boy interrupted, I stopped paying attention after that though I did tune back in to hear that this boy had also destroyed a zero point robot by a girl behind him.
'I knew I couldn't be the only one to have fight one of those giant robots, but to take it down in one punch! He must be strong,' I thought taking him more into account. He still didn't look that special or strong.
"Go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends."
The three that were talking froze at the sudden voice.
"This is the hero course," the voice continued followed by a slurping noise.
"Okay, it took eight seconds before you were quiet. Time is limited. You kids are not rational enough," the person finally walked in. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Nice to meet you."
I stared at them before gasping quietly. 'Oh my god! That's Eraserhead! Oh god what do I do? Can I ask for an autograph? But he's my teacher now won't that make things weird? Why does he look so worn out? Why is he taking clothes out of his sleeping bag?'
"It's kind of sudden, but put this on and go out onto the field.
*In The Changing Room*
"What do you think of we're going to do?" Mina asked aloud. "I mean, our teacher is supposed to be a hero right? But why does he look so done with life?"
"That's true, I've never seen a hero quite like him? I don't recognize him," said the girl with brown hair.
"He's Eraserhead," I said offhandedly.
"Eraserhead? I haven't heard of him," the invisible girl commented.
"He's an underground hero. He doesn't like being in the public eye," I continued while tying my shoes.
"Wow Mio! You sure do know a lot," Mina gushed.
"He's one of my favorite heroes," I said bashfully.
"I noticed this before but do you guys know each other already?" Asked the girl with ear jacks.
"No, we met today but I met her friend at the entrance exam." I said adjusting my clothes. "I'm Mio, nice to meet you all but we should get going."
We walked out together as everyone started introducing themselves. Some of the boys were already outside waiting.
"Mio-san," Tsuyu Asui, a girl with long green hair called out.
"You can just call me Mio," I said. "What's up?"
"I like to speak my mind and I couldn't help but notice that you never told us your full name. Kero."
'Did she just..'
"Oh, I don't really like using my family name."
Before she could ask why Aizawa-sensei came out so everyone stopped talking. I still couldn't believe he was our teacher. Though that does make me wonder if he was the one from the rumors.
Once everyone had gathered, Aizawa-sensei said we were going to take a Quirk Assessment.
"A Quirk assessment test?!" A majority of the class repeated.
"What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?" The girl with brown hair, I now knew was called Ochaco Uraraka, asked.
"If you're going to become a hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events." Aizawa-ensei said in a tired voice. "U.A.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school traditions are. That's also how the teachers run their classes."
"You kids have been doing these since junior high, too, right?" He took out a phone that displayed different exercises. "Physical fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your Quirks. The country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their Quirks. It's not rational. Well, the Ministry of Education is procrastinating."
He turned towards me, "Shimizu, you finished at the top of the practical exam, right?"
Everyone one turned to look at me, though the blond with red eyes glared at me.
"In junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?"
"68 meters," I replied, though the boy now looked like he wanted to attack me.
"Then, try doing it with your Quirk."
He threw me a softball before telling me to go into a circle.
"You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle," he explained. "Hurry up. Give it all you've got."
I nodded stretching a bit, 'I guess I can focus my field into my arm...'
"HA!" I yelled pitching the ball.
"Know your own maximum first. That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero," he then displayed my result of his phone.
"940.2 meters"
"940 meters? Seriously?"
"What's this? It looks fun!"
"We can use our Quirks as much as we want! As expected from the hero course!"
"'It looks fun,' huh? You have three years o become a hero. Will you have an attitude like that the whole time?" You could feel the atmosphere completely plummet as our teacher continued. "All right. Whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential and will be punished with expulsion."
"Sensei, are you perhaps the teacher who had expelled his entire class last year?" I asked.
The others looked at me in shock, while our teacher gave out a sadistic grin, "We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students. Welcome to U.A's hero course!"
"Last placed will be expelled?" Uraraka asked worriedly. "But it's the first day of school! No, even if it wasn't the first day of school, this is too unfair!"
"Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains. Calamities whose time or place can't be predicted. Japan is covered with unfairness. Heroes are the ones who reverse those situations. If you wanted to go talk with your friends at McDonald's after school, too bad. For the next three years, U.A. will do all it can to give you one hardship after another. Go beyond. Plus Ultra. Overcome it with all you've got."
I smirked, I wasn't too worried. I had always been in the top of my class when it came to physical tests even without using my Quirk. This was going to be exciting, though some looked worried especially the green haired boy. Which didn't make sense, he took down the zero pointer in one hit so this should be easy for him too, right?
"All right, demonstration's over. The real thing starts now."
-Test 1: 50-meter dash- or the 'that ain't my kid!' sprint
We were going by our seat number, seeing as I was the tenth seat I would be run next to a kid with big lips, who vaguely reminded me of this one anime character. Some where doing well, while others not so much. The best score so far was that one kid with engines in his calves who finished in 3.04 seconds.
I smirked, 'I guess I know who to beat now.'
"Next," called Eraserhead.
It was finally my turn, I couldn't wait to blow everyone away and show why I deserve to be here. I focused more of my field to my legs to give me a boost but I couldn't use too much since the distance was small. The other person also got into position when the machine next to us said 'Go!'.
I pushed forward leaving an indent on the ground and a cloud of dust as I practically flew forward.
Beep. "1.02 seconds"
'I could have done better,' I thought looking at my score, not noticing the others looking in awe.
-Test 2: Grip strength- Left hand don't fail me now
As I held the device, I focused my strength into my arm until I heard a beep
'289 kg not bad but I have to get stronger.'
I wasn't too sad that I didn't win considering the one who placed first had six arms.
-Test 3: Standing long jump- jumping I guess
This was probably gonna be my favorite event considering I could fly. I got into a running position and once we got the signal to begin the kid next to me starts running. I on the other hand lift myself five feet off the ground not changing my position at all and start flying. I thought it was quite comical so I started posing too. That got a few laughs.
"Okay, that's enough showing off," called Aizawa sensei.
I pouted, I was having fun too. Though I was surprised to see my score said 'Maximum'.
-Test 4: Repeated side steps- tootsie roll. two steps to the left! To step to the right!
I was quite ashamed I had lost in this test. While second place isn't bad, to have lost to a midget with stick hair...
-Test 5: Ball throw- Ow! Hey that's not what he meant!
Since I had already had my turn in the beginning I didn't have to do it again. I took this time to observe the rest. The only person who had beat my score was Uraraka, who scored infinity. She probably had a quirk that had to do with gravity or something since the ball just floated away when she threw it.
"Mio!"
I turned towards the voice, "Oh Kirishima, Mina. Good job so far."
"Thanks, but man you are so cool! I knew you were strong but you can basically do everything," Kirishima said.
"Yeah!" Mina agreed. "You're like super OP! Not only are you strong but you're fast and can fly."
"Oh, um thanks," I blushed, not used to being complimented so openly.
"Die!" Boom!
We turn to look at the angry blond boy from earlier throw the ball.
"Wow, 705.02 meters," whistled Kirishima.
"But why does he still look angry at his score," questioned Mina.
"I didn't understand either, that was a pretty good throw," I said as he then started glaring at us.
"Why is he glaring at us," whispered Mina.
"I don't know, maybe that's his default look or he's constipated," I whispered back getting a laugh from them.
The next up was the broccoli haired kid, so far all his scores were bad. It didn't make sense, he was supposed to have defeated the zero point robot in one punch then shouldn't he be breezing past these tests?
"Midoriya, isn't doing very well." I heard Glasses say.
"Well duh. He's a quirkless runt!" Anger issues said.
"Quirkless?! So you haven't heard about his feats during the entrance exam?!"
I could see energy gather in his arm as he began to throw only for it to disappear. I could already guess what happened.
"46 meters."
Midoriya, or whatever, started panicking only for our teacher to tell him he had erased his Quirk. I had to hold back a squeal as his eyes turned red and his capture weapons and hair started to float. I was too busy fangirling and regretting not being able to bring my phone to hear him scold the green haired kid.
'He's so cool! How does his hair do that? Are those eye drops?'
Midoriya started muttering up a storm as he began to throw the ball again but this time instead instead of his whole arm, he focused the energy on one finger at the last second.
"705.3 meters."
"Sensei! I can still move."
'Not bad,' I thought. 'Though I can't say the same about his finger.'
The next tests were pretty uneventful, well after Mr. Constipated tried to attack that Midoriya boy. Though, he was stopped by our teacher before he could do anything.
"Moving along. Time for the results. Your total score simply reflects your performance in each of the events. Explaining the process would be a waste of time, so here are your final rankings."
A screen then appeared showing all our names. I couldn't help but grin, I had placed first! Though I then noticed that last place was Midoriya, not really surprising as he didn't do well after the ball throw. He looked like he was about to cry.
"Also I was lying about expelling someone. That was just a ruse meant to bring out the best in all of you," he smiled.
"Whaaaat?!"
"Well of course it was a lie. If I had known you thought it was true I would have said something," said Yaoyozozu.
"But Mio-san said he expelled his class last year!"
"She obviously understood the deception and decided to play along, isn't that right," she said turning towards me.
"Huh, oh no. I wasn't lying, he actually did expel his whole class last year."
Everyone just stood there starting at me, as if I had just said the world was about to exploded.
And just like that our first day ended.
A/N:
This took way longer than I though and it didn't help that I forgot to save so some of it got deleted when my laptop ran out of power. While it might seem that Mio is OP, she is not. She, like Bakugo, had been training both her Quirk and body from a young age since she knew she wanted to be a hero. She learned different ways to use her Quirk both thanks to training with her brother, Jun, and taking different martial arts classes.
