I get up quietly and go into the bathroom that Dad said was to be mine once we moved into the house after I got kidnapped. I first shave my legs and underarms despite only a little hair being visible. I take a shower loving the feeling of the steaming hot water hitting my back and running into my hair soaking it. I scrub my vanilla scented shampoo into my hair while taking my long hair out of the way of the water. Once my hair is fully soaped up I grab my twilight mix body wash that smells like a combination of lavender and nightshade. I put the body wash all over my toned body and with that done I step under the hot water one more and scrub the body wash off and then move my head under the water to scrub the shampoo out of my hair. Once I'm fully clean I turn off the water and step out of the tub feeling refreshed and ready to start the day despite knowing tthat it will be less than fun. I quickly dry my body off with the towel making sure I'm dry I grab the larger towel for my hair and wrap my hair up in it.
After making sure that none of my hair is out of the towel I grab my under clothes and put them on. I then grab my black leggings and black tank top and put them on with my black ankle socks after my leggings. Once I'm dressed I step up to the sink and unwrap my hair out of the towel. I quickly run a brush through my tri-colored hair to get all the knots out. After that is done I grab the hair dryer and plug it in despite the killer headache it instantly gave me. I dry my hair as quick as possible and once I'm done I shut off the hair dryer and unplug it waiting a minute while holding my head waiting for the headache to subside a little. However much to my chagrin it doesn't do anything at all. Without waiting much longer I pull my brush and run it through my now dry hair. While looking at myself in the mirror I decide to wear my hair in a high braid starting at the crown of my head since the weather called for it to be warm. I quickly pull my hair into a high ponytail with a silver hair tie and then I divide it into three parts and start braiding it until I have only two inches of none braided hair left before I tie it with the only remaining silver hair tie on my wrist. I normally keep three silver hair ties on my wrist but yesterday the third one broke so I resigned myself to picking up more on the way to school this morning. I look at myself in the mirror satisfied that I look good for my first day at school. Unlike most girls I despise make-up so I never wear any though I had some because Midnight gave me some each Christmas since I turned 13. My tri-colored hair of white on my left side, crimson red on my right side, and black throughout set off well with my really pale skin and my bi-colored eyes, the left one icy blue and the right one a midnight blue like a starless sky with a slim but toned body that has a streamline look. I go out of the bathroom after hanign my towel up into my room to grab my school bag and a black jacket with a silver phoenix on the back before walking into the kitchen grabbing an apple and a bottle of water before grabbing my keys off the hook and my cell phone and charger off the kitchen table putting them in my bag before writing a note to my dad, getting an early start to school. I have to stop at the store to get more hair ties. See you at school, and taping it to the fridge so my dad could easily see it. After putting on my black knee-high riding boots and my jacket on I grabbed my bag and headed out the door locking it behind me before taking off running down to the store on the corner.
I slow just as I get to the door of the store and quickly throw it open looking around the aisle with the hair products until I find the hair ties and I quickly grab two packs of my normal silver hair ties. I go to the counter and pay for the items noticing that the price for them had gone up again but not really caring I quickly put the receipt in the bag and stuffed the bag into the small pocket of my black bookbag. And with that I ran the 2 miles to school not caring how people were looking at me in amazement for the speed I was displaying it wasn't like it was the fastest I could go for it was technically only a jog for me.
Finally I arrive at the gates of UA but this time I wasn't here to wait for dad, no I was now here to fulfill my dream to become a hero like mom and dad. I will prove to the world that I can be a hero.
Walking in the front door of the building I squared my shoulders and lifting my head high to show to others looking on that I was meant to be here. However, upon looking around I suddenly felt very foolish for the building was empty like that of a ghost town. I briskly walked towards where I knew Class 1-A to be locate despite looking down at my watch to see it saying 5:45am. I now knew why the building was deserted it was because the school day wasn't even supposed to start until 9am.
I exclaim, "What the hell! I knew I got up early but more than 3 hours before classes start and I arrive! What the FUCK!" After my initial loud remarks I quiet down and say, "Well since I'm here early and I already know my way around might as well get some training in. Especially since dad cut my training short yesterday. Lord, it is going to be weird calling him Mr. Aizawa but don't want others to know." With that I quickly walk into the gym area that has everything from weights, to gymnastics equipment, to scales, and basically anything else someone could use. Stripping off my jacket and leaving it and my bag on a bench by the door and without really thinking I take off my tank top so I'm only in my leggings, boots, and a workout bra. For the next three hours I worked out every single part of my body and used my gymnastic abilities to become even more flexible. Finally the alarm on my watch went off signalling that it was 8:50 and time to head to class. Quickly flipping down from my spot on top of the gymnastics equipment I then start walking towards my bag and the door however just as I take three steps forward the door suddenly yanks open and a boy reaches in and grabs my tank top and jacket and just as quickly as he came slammed the door and booked it in the other direction.
It took me a minute for me to catch up because of the shock of me seeing him bring the clothes up to his nose and sniffing them. However as soon as it caught up to me, I felt undeniable anger. That boy is going to pay, I thought. I quickly grabbed my bag and threw the door open and took off sprinting after him. I became even more surprised upon seeing that he was running in the direction of one class...Class 1-A. Not liking my options but knowing that I had none I ran headlong towards the boy screaming, "Get the fuck back here! You fucking perv!" My screaming resulted in nothing so I kept running after him.
The boy got into Class 1-A and when I ripped open the door all inside went silent and I stepped about five steps in the classroom and said, "Give me my shirt and jacket back you fucking perv," in a dead calm voice with an underlying venom lacing my words. Standing there in only my bra making everyone in there blush. Unbeknownst to me, my father was laying in his yellow sleeping bag at the door looking like a yellow caterpillar.
The boy responded, "Never! I got them fair and square."
My glare darkened causing the boy to back up several steps. I walked forward with determined steps and snatched my clothes back with my right hand and grabbed the boy's wrist with my left and said, "You should learn to not take things that don't belong to you. Next time I won't be so easy. If you want to be a hero then stop acting like a fucking perv. No one who is an aspiring hero should behave that way." My voice had remained calm with venom in each word making those in the class backup and with each word that left my mouth ice spread over the boy. Once all but his eyes were encased in ice I turned and went to my desk putting my tank top on while walking.
All of the sudden Mr. Aizawa says, "Cara, unfreeze that boy now."
I looked up at him surprised and say firmly but calmly, "No."
Mr. Aizawa merely raised his eyebrows in response and says, "Cara, unfreeze Mineta now."
I tilt my head up to look at him in the eye and say, "No."
Mr. Aizawa says, "Do not make me repeat myself again, Cara. Unfreeze him now."
I harden my glare despite knowing it will get me in trouble and I say again, "No. Or do you not understand the word. N. O. It spells no. In other words, I'm not going to unfreeze him. The fucking perv needs to learn."
Mr. Aizawa glares harder and says, "Unfreeze him or you will be punished."
I glare more and just shake my head.
Mr. Aizawa says, "Cara, for not listening to my order you will have a months worth of detention."
I look at him and say, "Fine. I don't really care."
Mr. Aizawa says, "Now unfreeze him because others don't have the ability."
I look around and seeing two people I know and say, "Actually at least two of them do. Bakugo despite having a large ego could with his Explosion Quirk and Todoroki has the same Half-Hot Half-Cold Quirk. Both are quite capable of unfreezing the damn perv but I will not."
Before anyone can say anything Todoroki stands and says, "I got it." He goes over to Mineta and puts his left hand on the ice and it starts melting away. As the ice melts past Mineta's face Todoroki says quietly, "You are lucky that Cara has gotten a hold of her anger. From when I knew her she didn't and she would have done a lot worse. You're lucky she used ice and not fire." With that Mineta is completely unfrozen thanks to Todoroki and everyone sits silently waiting for class to start.
However suddenly a boy with glasses who I remembered from the Entrance Exam intro in the auditorium said, "Why is she not wearing a uniform? That is school rule! I remember you. You were the one giggling in the auditorium before the physical Entrance Exam. Do you think you're better than all of us? Is that why you are not wearing a uniform? I demand an answer. Also you realized that there was more to the practical exam than the villain points, didn't you? You are very perceptive. And I misjudged you before, I admit. As a student, you're far superior to me. You and Midoriya."
I flip out of my seat onto the desk behind and ask, "Are you always this strict? No, I don't think I'm better than you. We all have room to improve. Nobody is perfect. My body is too flexible for the uniforms and UA doesn't wish to spend money on making a uniform specifically for me. It isn't just a simple fix in a uniform because they would have to use a total different material. You need to not jump to conclusions because while in some situations it can be seen as a good thing in others it can quickly turn the situation on a head in the wrong direction. And yes, UA is famous for it's heroes meaning someone who shows an aptitude to rush in and help someone in trouble will also get credit and plus if you listened to Present Mic he had given a couple hints to that. But no none of us are superior to each other we simply all look at things differently." I finish with a smirk and spin off the desk and back into my chair once my feet hit the ground once more.
I hear someone say, "She saved me during the exam. I was surrounded by five three pointer robots and she came out of nowhere and defeated them in one shot before shooting off to go after the Zero pointer." I look at the boy and sure enough it was him. Denki Kaminari if I'm remembering right.
Everyone starts talking all at once until Mr. Aizawa clears his throat and says, "If you're just here to make friends then you can pack up your stuff now." Everyone looks at him in shock only now seeing his form. He continues, "Welcome to UA's hero course." He unzips part of his sleeping bag and finishes a juice box.
Everyone but me and Todoroki gasp and asks, "What is that thing?"
Our teacher stands up and unzips the sleeping bag fully and steps out of it saying, "It took eight seconds before you all shut up. That's not gonna work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that." He says the last bit looking directly at me. But nonetheless everyone shut up.
He says in introduction, "Hello, I'm Shota Aizawa. Your teacher." After a seconds pause he pulls something out of the sleeping bag and says, "Right, let's get to it. Put these on and head outside." He holds up what she remembers as the school gym uniforms. All of the class quickly goes to grab one and he hands each of them one with their name on the bag. I wait by my desk not bothering to get up just wanting to avoid the obvious collision that was going to happen. I'm the last one to get up and Mr. Aizawa says, "Cara, go change into it."
I open my mouth to respond but he quickly says, "Shut up. This one has been designed to keep up with your flexibility. Principal Nezu made sure." I quickly take the uniform not liking how it feels at all. Nevertheless I head with it to the girl's locker room and change meeting the others outside avoiding conversation with the other girls.
After going outside I see I'm the first one there despite everyone else having gotten their uniforms first. All of the sudden it seems all of the students come out together. They are all asking what is going on so I respond, "He's going to have us do a Quirk assessment test."
Everyone responds shocked, "What? A Quirk assessment test?"
Ochaco Uraraka if I remember the girl's name right says, "But orientation! We're gonna miss it!"
Mr. Aizawa says with a bored voice to the others though you know it is actually him being actually passionate about it, "If you really wanna make the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies."
All the students except me gasp surprised. Instead of gasping I chuckle and say, "Right to the point, Mr. Aizawa." All the students turn to me with wide eyes.
Tenya Iida if I remember right asks, "You find this funny?"
I respond, "Funny...no. More...what's it called...more forward. It actually makes sense. After all a pro has to use not only their Quirks but their bodies and mind for quick thinking. Every second of training will make you more ready."
Mr. Aizawa says to me, "That is correct, Cara, but no more interruptions. Got it?" I nod to show my complice.
Mr. Aizawa continues to the class, "Here at UA, we're not tethered to traditions. That means that I get to run my class however I see fit."
Upon this realization the other students gasp as I just smirk now actually looking forward to dad teaching. I knew he was hard from experience but it would make it so much more satisfying to see others being drilled just as hard as he drills me.
Mr. Aizawa continues, "You've been taking standardized tests most of your lives. But you never got to use your Quirks in physical exams before." He holds up a device that I know is not his actual phone though it does look similar. I look closer and see that it has multiple different tests on it's screen. He continues, "The country's still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day, the Ministry of Education will learn. Bakugo, you managed to get the second highest score of points on the entrance exam." Bakugo looks shocked upon everyone looking at him and being addressed by the teacher. Mr. Aizawa continues, "What was your farthest distance throw with a softball when you were in Junior High?"
Bakugo all of the sudden looks embarrassed but says, "Sixty-seven meters, I think."
I step up and say, "Hey, Bakugo. Wasn't your score seventy-six meters? I only remember because my score was 10 above yours."
Bakugo all of the sudden looks angered and tries to storm at me but I quickly jump out of the way landing behind him and saying, "Damn, Bakugo. I was just trying to make sure you didn't underscore yourself."
Bakugo turns around and says, "Really after all this time that is what your trying to do. You always thought you were better than me. Beating me in everything with never breaking a sweat while I was covered. You'll regret that you, little bitch."
The rest of the class looks on wondering what is going on but Midoriya steps up and says seeing me getting angry, "Cara, calm down!"
I say to Bakugo in anger, "You always thought you were better than everyone using your Quirk to bully others. You're angry because it look like I wasn't sweating? Really? That's pathetic. I can't sweat, dip shit. One of my Quirks makes it impossible for me to sweat. You need to stop blaming others for your let downs."
Bakugo says, "Really just because you have multiple Quirks you think you're better than everyone. Well that's not true."
I say, "I'm not better than anyone. The person who trained me made sure that was clear. You don't know what I've been through so don't even act like you know."
Bakugo rushes at me and this time a blast through his palm onto my stomach which I flip out of and use my right side to shoot fire and get out of Bakugo's reach. Before I can retaliate with an attack of my own I see Bakugo wrapped in dad's Capturing Weapon and it snaking towards me. I flip out of the way and avoid the Weapon while saying, "You really need to stay away from me, Bakugo. I almost lost my control."
With that I walk away and see my dad release Bakugo and says to him, "Right. Try doing it with your Quirk." Bakugo lights up at this and steps into the circle that Mr. Aizawa points to saying, "Anything goes, just stay in the circle. Go on. You're wasting our time."
Bakugo looks like he is thinking and then he starts stretching and says, "All right, man, you asked for it." He steps forward, winds up and growls, "Die!"
Everyone is surprised to say the least. I look at dad trying to see a reaction but he really isn't showing one that and he's hiding behind his scarf. Mr. Aizawa says, "All of you need to know your maximum capabilities." I see the ball hit the ground far away and then I turn my attention back to dad who continues, "It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a pro hero." Mr. Aizawa shows the score that Bakugo got and my mouth drops slightly seeing that he got 705.2 meters. Dad had never had me do this exercise but I was now looking forward to it. With Bakugo's explosion Quirk it meant that he was able to propel it forward and while I could probably do the same with fire but it probably wouldn't have such a large effect. While I'm thinking all of the other students gasp.
I hear Kaminari says, "Whoa, 705 meters, are you kidding me?"
The pink girl who I think is Mina Ashido says, "I wanna go! That looks like fun!" As soon as I hear what she says I flinch knowing how Mr. Aizawa is going to react.
The boy with funky elbows who I think is Hanta Sero says, "This is what I'm talkin' about usin' our Quirks as much as we want!"
I see Mr. Aizawa listening to what they are saying and as each one continues I curl downwards knowing how he's going to react. Mr. Aizawa quietly says, "So this looks fun, huh?" Everyone else gasps slightly at hearing his quiet voice and I hope that they don't start to see the similarities in me and him at least not this early on. Mr. Aizawa continues, "You have three years to become a hero. You think it's all gonna be games and play time?" At this he smiles creepily and unbeknownst to me so do I as he continues, "Idiots. Today you'll compete in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none, and will be expelled immediately."
All the students scream, "Huh?" I just chuckle knowing that even if the last person shows just a little potential that he won't expel them but if they don't show potential at all then he will. I remember him coming home last year saying he had expelled his whole class because they had no potential hints why there was no Class 2-A this year.
Mr. Aizawa's creepy smile grows and so does mine loving the suspense in the air. I see that dad is looking directly at Midoriya so before anyone realizes what's happening I walk calmly over to Midoriya and place my hand on his back to try and get him to stop looking dumb while glaring slightly at my dad though I hadn't realized that my smile matched his in this moment. When I see Izuku break eye contact with dad to start gripping his hand I smack him on the back to get him to look at me and I quickly turn my smile to a comforting one.
Mr. Aizawa continues, "Like I said, I get to decide how this class runs," with a creepy smile on his face which I instantly match causing multiple people to back up from him and me at the same time. He continues, "Understand? If that's a problem, you can head home right now." I see some of my classmates freaking out and some of the more logical ones gearing up for it to start. I know that those gearing up will do the best while those freaking out can easily get left behind if they don't learn quickly.
My smile brightens when I see how my dad looks at me and I get a hidden message from him, Don't you dare hold back. I blink wondering how he knew I was planning on holding back to not completely crush whoever was in last place but I knew that if I did that it wouldn't do me any good.
Ochaco then says, "You can't send one of us home! I mean, we just got here! Even if it wasn't the first day, that isn't fair!"
Mr. Aizawa replies, "Oh, and you think natural disasters are?" The students gasp as he continues, "Or power-hungry villains? Hm? Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? No, the world is full of unfairness. Just look at Cara. It's a hero's job to try to combat that unfairness. If you wanna be a pro, you're gonna have to push yourself to the brink. For the next three years, UA will throw one terrible hardship after another at you. So, go beyond. Plus Ultra-style." Mr. Aizawa beckons them with just his pointer finger and says, "Show me it's no mistake that you're here." With that the students gasp again. And Tenya pulls out a water bottle and drinks from it looking like he is thinking. I can see the engines in his calves and I remember the hero Ingenium who has the same things but in his arms and I think, He will be the one to beat in speed.
Mr. Aizawa continues, "Now then. We're just wasting time by walking. Let the games begin."
