Test 5: ball throw. I smile looking forward to clearing the way despite knowing that Ochaco was probably going to beat me on this one thanks to her Quirk. When Ochaco threw the ball I was the only one not surprised by her score thanks to the limited knowledge of her Quirk. When it was Izuku's turn I was nervous remembering the small amount of footage that dad had showed me with him using his power and him breaking his bones. I remembered him telling me that he had gotten into Class 1-A despite not having villain points but all rescue points. I also remembered dad saying he wouldn't make it in the class if he broke every time.
I hear Iida say, "If Midoriya doesn't shape up soon, he's the one going home." I turn towards him wondering who's near him.
I turn just in time to see Bakugo turn towards him and say, "Huh? Of course he is. He's a Quirkless loser."
Iida responds, "He has a Quirk." I look at dad wondering if he's able to put two-and-two together since I remember the day Izuku had told me that he didn't have a Quirk I was 8 at the time and I came home crying saying it wasn't fair that I had many Quirks and a boy who had a heart like mine didn't have one and he thought I wouldn't want to be his friend because of him being Quirkless. Iida continues dragging me out of memory lane, "Did you not hear about what he did in the entrance exam?"
Bakugo responds, "Huh?"
Looking back at dad I wonder what is going through his head. He suspects something but he won't say it aloud and I wonder if he remembers me doing that all those years ago.
When I saw Izuku not even use his Quirk despite having the starts of it I was confused until I saw my dad, he had used his Quirk to keep Izuku from using his. Izuku looks disappointed and confused until he looks to the class and sees dad, who's hair is flying around with his scarf, his eyes red, and his yellow goggles showing around his neck as Mr. Aizawa says, "I erased yoru Quirk." Izuku gasps upon seeing him. Mr. Aizawa continues, "The judges for this exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school."
Izuku asks, "Wait, you did what to my-" Izuku cuts himself off and says, "Ah! Those goggles. I know you! You can look at someone and cancel out their powers. Cara, it's the Erasure Hero. Eraserhead!"
The other students say, "Uh..."
Sero asks, "Eraser? Who's that?"
Tsuyu says, "Oh, I've heard of him. I think he works on the down-low."
Mr. Aizawa says, "You're not ready. You don't have control over your power. Were you planning to break your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?"
I step forward to try and defend him before Izuku cuts in with a response, "No! That's not what I was trying to do!" I see dad use his scarf to capture Izuku and I immediately jump into action knowing I'm the only one who would step in and the only one who stood a chance of going against him even if he was my dad.
But before I get two feet away Mr. Aizawa says, "Stand down, Cara. You should hear this too." He continues looking at Izuku, "No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle. You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know. One who saved 1,000 people by himself and became a legend. But even with that drive, you're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down. Sorry, Midoriya. With your power, there's no way you can become a hero." Izuku surprises me when he looks even more determined than before.
All the students gasp just realizing what was going on as Mr. Aizawa retracks his scarf and closes his eyes shutting off his power. Mr. Aizawa continues, "I've returned your impractical Quirk. Take your final throw. Hurry and get it over with." He walks towards me and says quietly, "You should let him fight his own battles. He isn't helpless anymore. And yes I remember in case you were wondering." He then goes off to stand on the side and watch Midoriya and I watch him just as closely as my dad was.
I hear Iida say, "I wonder if our teacher gave him advice." Which I found funny since that was exactly what he did.
But then Bakugo says, "Probably told him to start packing."
I then hear the weird French boy say, "I'm here, cheri." And upon glancing out of the corner of my eye I feel bad for Ochaco as he goes to pat her hair.
Ochaco bless the girl embarrasses the guy by saying, "Wait, who are you, again?"
I see Midoriya start muttering and luckily I'm close enough so I can hear him saying, "I've only got one shot at nailing this, so what am I gonna do?" I see my dad watching him closely with a curious glint in his eye making me all the more curious why dad gave him advice to help him when he barely does it with anyone including me normally he chooses to let others make the mistake and learn from the pain later. I see him pause watching Izuku just barely in enough time to put eye drops in his eyes before turning back to Izuku. And just as I thought that dad may have started feeling that Izuku belonged here he smiles in a creepy sort of way and that thought is out of my head quickly.
Izuku becomes determined once more and I hold my breath as I see the power from before not there at all and then in the last second he puts the power in the pad of his pointer finger which has the last touch of the ball making it fly with his final score being 705.3 beating Bakugo's score by .1 meters but the relief I feel dies down when I see he broke his finger in that throw. I see my dad look shocked from how he used what he had said and still made a good score.
Izuku says, "Mr. Aizawa." Izuku pauses until Mr. Aizawa looks up and then he clenches his fist together grunting in pain and continues, "You see? I'm still standing."
I smile seeing a smile on my dad's face showing his shock and pride all in one even if the kids don't know it. I was glad that I wasn't the only one who could show him wrong. Dad says, "This kid..." he stops and mutters, "Reminds me of Cara and Akira." Upon hearing that my smile drops as a sadness once again fills my heart for the first time in a while as my mother's name was mentioned.
Kaminari exclaims, "He threw it over 700 meters!"
Ochaco cheers, "Nice, he's finally showing us his true power!"
Iida ever observing, "But his finger appears to be broken now. Just like in the examine. This Quirk is very odd."
Frenchie comments, "It wasn't a very pretty throw."
But Bakugo's reaction was priceless. Bakugo gasps and then becomes angry with small explosions going off in his palms. Bakugo runs towards Midoriya screaming, "Hey! Deku, you bastard! Tell me how you did that, or you're dead!" I jump in front of Midoriya just as Izuku screams surprising the class with my reflexes and not flinching with Bakugo barreling towards me at full speed. However before he got to me dad's Capturing Weapon came out of nowhere and grabbed Bakugo's forehead and chest. Bakugo confused says, "What? Why the hell is your damn scarf so strong?"
Mr. Aizawa calmly says, "Because it's a capturing weapon made out of carbon fiber and a special metal alloy. Stand down. Both you and Cara. It'd be wise to avoid making me use my Quirk so much. It gives me serious dry eye."
The other students say, "Too bad. That power is amazing!"
Mr. Aizawa continues, "You're wasting my time now. Whoever's next can step up." I stay between Izuku and Bakugo not liking how Bakugo is acting and I only walk away after Izuku runs out from behind me away from Bakugo. I hear Ochaco asking about his finger but I can't do anything about it or I'll use all my energy. I see that Bakugo is still angry but I don't really pay attention after all nothing I can do for it.
The rest of the others go and when it's my turn I grab the ball Mr. Aizawa hands me and step into the circle but I hear Mr. Aizawa say, "Cara, wait." I wait calmly not really understanding what he was going to do. He then says to the others in the class, "You want to see control of a Quirk?"
The class except Bakugo and Todoroki say, "Yes, sir."
He continues, "Cara, here has already had some training with her Quirk meaning she has full control over it as seen in the other tests. I want someone to give me a number between 5,000 and 10,000."
Silence is deafening until all of the sudden someone calls out, "9,555."
Mr. Aizawa turns to me, "You have your number, Cara. Go."
I look at the ball in my hand and think 9,555 over and over in my head. With that in mind I put the ball in my right hand and I throw it so far that no one can see it. I used a combination of fire and my Panther Quirk to help propel it. And then a beep was heard and everyone turned to Mr. Aizawa as he held out the score and says, "That is control. Hopefully after training more you guys will be able to do the same. Not saying you all will be able to."
