A/N: Hey guys, I'm back again! I know, I know, update this fast? It's crazy, but I am really motivated for this story, and I am not going to stop this train.
So, real quick, I'll do something you probably never expected me to do: respond to reviews!
Kobk: I have a little something already planned for the attack on USJ, and I'd probably have to agree that Kirishima would probably die from manliness overload from that
Raven Mordrake: I'm sorry, but I already had the idea of him getting into 1-A before I even started this. But I won't be completely ignoring class 1-B because I agree that they don't get a lot of things for them. I personally don't agree with how some characters like Monoma constantly got treated, so I'll fix it!
Zero: I would personally say that Metal Bat currently wouldn't be capable of taking out someone of Endeavor's power because of his lack of experience in fighting someone of that high calibre. Later on in his life, he would definitely be able to take on Endeavor and maybe even All Might, but right now he isn't at that level yet.
Jetaqwdf: Thanks! Hope you love this as well!
Now, without further adieu, let's start!
Speaking. Thoughts. All Might Talking.
"Onii-chan, you have an hour to get there! Don't tell me you have to leave already!" Zenko said as she was trying to get his tie on his uniform. Bad looks at her with a deadpan and ruffles her hair.
"You know I can get a tie on right."
"Not without it being too loose or too tight!"
"That was only a few times!"
"You consider 25 times we went to a fancy place with you in a tie a few times? I wonder what you consider a lot." Zenko remarks.
"Alright, I'm heading out now!" Bad says as he starts walking out the door. Zenko flails her arms around comically, "Wait wait wait!" Bad turns around to feel a weight on his chest, and he sees its Zenko giving him a hug. "I love you, Onii-chan." Bad smiles as he hugs her back. "Love you, too, Zenko. And I always will." He ruffled her hair one last time before he walked out of their small little apartment.
It had been a few weeks since the Entrance Exams, and Bad was excited to celebrate with Midoriya. And a little bit later after their celebration, Midoriya and Bad met up with All Might. All Might had told them that he did not have any influence on how they got their rescue points, and that they did it all on their own. And All Might decided to give Bad a little gift. Bad still remembers the words he said, "Since you are officially the first quirkless student to ever be accepted into U.A., I think I should give you a little reward," and he gave Bad a new gray metal bat.
"Alright...now...how fast can I get to U.A. jogging?" Bad said to no one in particular as he started on a jog to U.A.
.
.
.
Bad will admit that was still amazed by the sight of the U.A. building once again. He had decided to stop and get a quick breakfast on the way, so he arrived at 7:30. When he walked onto the campus, he was met by a familiar head of blonde hair.
"Yo! You're Gushiken Bad, right?" Bad nods as Present Mic walks up to him. "That's great! Good to know you like to be a bit early. So, I am going to need you to head over to Principal Nezu's office. Said he wanted to talk to you before the first day started. So, I'll lead you there." Bad nods in understanding as he follows after Present Mic.
"So, I heard that you don't have a Quirk, right?" Bad nods, looking at Present Mic's smiling face. "Yeah, I don't. What's it to you?" Present Mic almost snorts at the response. "Nothing, nothing! It's just a really cool thing to think about! A Quirkless kid one shotting that zero pointer? Not many people can do that!" Bad gets a bit embarrassed, but says nothing as Present Mic finally leads him to the room. "Well, here we are. Oh, and uh, try to relax a bit. I honestly think Nezu can smell fear…" Present Mic shudders as he lets Bad go in.
"Ah, welcome Gushiken! Come on in! We have much to discuss!" The dog-mouse-bear looking thing told Bad as he ushered him in. Bad simply walked in and put his stuff down near a chair before sitting in it. Nezu walked to the other side of his desk and looked at Bad in the eyes.
"Now, I believe I have a few things to say. First things first is I must congratulate you on being the first ever Quirkless student to be accepted into U.A., or any hero school of our calibre for that matter." Bad just rubs the back of his head as Nezu continues to talk, "I also wanted to say that I am very curious on how you were capable of taking down that zero pointer without a Quirk. In one swing, for that matter."
"I...don't really have that big of an explanation. That girl I saved, Jirou...I felt like she would have gotten in worse condition if I didn't do something. And I wasn't going to let being thrown into a building stop me." Bad answered, causing Nezu to chuckle.
"You say that as if being thrown into a building by a zero pointer is nothing. I'm sure most pro heros without a high level of endurance would be able to even stand from that, and yet you ran around like nothing happened. I'm positive that that quality of yours will make you a fantastic hero." Nezu compliments. "However, the reason I called you here is for another reason. While you have shown that you are able to shrug off a high level of physical damage like that, I think that I should make sure that you don't have to try and shrug off a lot of emotional and mental damage."
"What do you mean by that?" Bad asks, his eyebrow raising in confusion. Nezu then pulls out oa piece of paper and looks at Bad. "Do you know how many Quirkless people your age have done physical harm to themselves? How many of them have attempted to 'end it all?'" Nezu's words catch Bad. Bad can't help but look down at the floor and clench his fists.
"If you really want a quirk...just wish for one really hard and take a swan dive off the roof of the building!"
"That's why I'm talking to you about this. There is one person in your school that, from what I've seen in the entrance exams, doesn't exactly seem to be the nicest person possible. His name is Bakugou Katsuki. Have you had any problems with him?" Nezu asks politely.
Bad sighs and nods. "Yeah, nothing too difficult for me to handle. He hasn't done anything that bad to make me feel that bad, and that can account for my stubborness in a way; I never gave up on my dream, and that's why I'm here." Bad states, Nezu humming as he places his hand on his chin in thought.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you and Bakugou will be sharing a class together in 1-A. So, would you like me to make sure your teacher knows of the situation between you two?" Nezu gets a stern nod from Bad. "Wonderful! Now, another thing I'd like to say is that I'd like it if you didn't walk around with your bat publicly in my school. I don't want people to get the wrong message." Nezu almost laughs as Bad's face turns a light shade of red.
"Right. My bad...so, I'm just going to head to class, if that's all." Nezu nods. "Alright; I guess I'll talk to you some other time, Principal Nezu." Nezu laughs as he watches Bad grab his belongings and walk out. Nezu then sighs and looks at the clock, "Knowing Aizawa, he won't be going to orientation again. And since he has a Quirkless student in his class...he's going to probably pick him off from the start...let's see if you'll remain in 1-A, Gushiken Bad."
.
.
.
When Bad entered the room, only a few people were in before him. A girl with a black ponytail and a modest figure, a boy with dichromatic eyes and hair that was two different colors that split from the left and right, and the same blue haired kid with glasses that he saw at the auditorium. The first person to greet him was in fast the blue haired kid.
"Welcome, fellow student! My name is Iida Tenya, and I am from Somei Private Academy! I hope that we will work well together!" Bad looks at him for a second before accepting his handshake. "I'm Gushiken Bad, and I came from Aldera Junior High. I also hope we'll work together well." The boy, Iida, seemed to be delighted that he got a good response from him. Bad quickly finds a seat in the middle row near the door, and gladly takes it.
He waited for a little while longer, and he soon saw people coming in one after another. Some he didn't recognize, like a guy who had a head shaped like a bird, and some he did recognize, like Jirou. He gave her a nod of acknowledgement as she walked in, which she returned.
He couldn't care less when Bakugou walked in, and was still not bothered by the withering glare he got from the kid. He did smile, however, when Bakugou was getting reprimanded by Iida for putting his feet on his desk. He then saw Midoriya get in, and he saw that he was not noticed by Midoriya as he was paying more attention to Bakugou and Iida. Iida then went over to Midoriya and started talking to him, not that Bad was paying much attention. He then heard another familiar voice to him.
"I remember that green hair and plain looking face!" The girl that he met before they went to the auditorium began to talk to Midoriya, who began blushing a storm. Oh, Bad thought to himself, How I cannot wait to tease you about this, my dear friend. Before anything else could happen, he heard a voice outside the door.
"If you came here just to socialize and make friends, then you should just go." They all looked to see a fully grown yellow caterpillar at the door behind them all, drinking a small pack of juice. Everyone had one collective thought…
What is that thing?!
"It took you guys eight seconds for you all to be quiet. Time is limited. You kids aren't rational enough." The caterpillar got out of it's cocoon and looked at them. "I'm Aizawa Shouta, your homeroom teacher." Everyone looked shocked at his revelation, Bad showing it a bit less than the others. From seeing an unknown mouse-dog-bear animal hybrid as their principal, he didn't think much of this man being their teacher. The guy then took out a gym uniform of U.A. and showed it to the class.
"Alright, this is a little sudden, but put these on and head outside. I expect you all to be outside in ten minutes." Everyone got up and got their gym uniforms. As Bad got his, he thought he saw Aizawa look at him weirdly, at least that's how Bad interpreted him staring at him for a few seconds longer than necessary.
"I'd suggest that with this upcoming event, you have your bat with you, Gushiken Bad. Otherwise you'll be at a disadvantage from everyone else." Aizawa whispers matter of factly, Bad's eyes widening! He didn't think of it before, but every one of his teachers had to know about him being Quirkless! Hell, he wouldn't be surprised if everyone in the faculty knew about him being Quirkless! Bad just nods and quickly grabs his gray metal bat, walking to the locker rooms to change.
.
.
.
"A Quirk application test?" Most of Bad's classmates said. He didn't say it because he was more worried about the fact he was going to be at a huge disadvantage during this test.
The girl that Midoriya and Bad met earlier raised her hand with a nervous expression. "But...what about Orientation? Aren't we gonna miss it?"
"If you really want to make it in the big leagues as heroes, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies." Aizawa states blandly, turning to face the class. "Here at U.A., we're not tethered to traditions and are allowed to teach our classes however we want. That means I get to choose whether we go or not, so we won't waste our time."
This made sense in Bad's mind, since they were being taught how to be heroes; besides, Aizawa Sensei could probably tell us what the Orientation could.
"You've been taking standardised tests most of your lives, but you never got to use your quirks on physical exams before." Aizawa pulled out a small mobile device and held it in his hand, "The country is still trying to pretend we're all equal by not letting those with the most power excel; it's irrational. One day the Ministry of Education might learn from their mistakes."
Aizawa let his statement hang for a moment before turning to the ashy blonde time bomb.
"Bakugou, you got the most points on the entrance exams. What was your furthest throw with a softball in Middle School?" Bakugou thought for a moment before replying,"About 67 meters, I think." Bad's eyes widened by a fraction. Did...did Bakugou just show someone other than himself respect?! He thought inwardly as Aizawa tossed Bakugou a softball.
"Right, that's expected. Now try doing it with your Quirk." Aizawa told Bakugou as he looked at the softball before walking to a circle Aizawa pointed to.
"Anything goes as long as you stay in the circle" Aizawa told Bakugou. He waited about a second before continuing, "Come on, we're wasting time."
"Alright, you asked for it." Bakugou nodded while grinning madly on the inside.
Bakugou performed several stretches before getting ready to throw it, and then he threw it while adding his Quirk's explosive power behind it. "DIEEEEEEE!" Bakugou shouts as the softball goes flying out of sight.
"Die…" Midoriya mutters to himself as Aizawa shows the distance the softball went: 705.2 meters. "All of you need to know your maximum capabilities." Aizawa droned, everyone heard him but didn't respond. "This is the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a Pro Hero."
It's safe to say that everyone in the classroom, Bad included, were shocked at the score he got. "Wow, he threw it 705.2 meters with his quirk?" "That's so awesome!" "This is gonna be so fun!" you could hear multiple different students speak, getting more and more excited as time went by. However, all that excitement and joy was killed on the spot when we all heard Aizawa speak with a bit of annoyance in his voice.
"You think this is fun, do you?" Aizawa's cold voice said, and everyone turned to look at him. "You have three years until you graduate U.A., and do you all think this is going to be all fun and games?" Nobody could respond to Aizawa because of the tension surrounding them all.
"You will be competing in 8 different tests: 50 Meter Dash, Grip Strength, Long Jump, Repeated Side-Steps, Ball Throw,, Seated Toe Touches, Sit-Ups, and a Long Distance Run. And since you wanted this to be 'fun,' how about we make this more interesting? Whoever comes in last place after all of the events are done will be deemed by me as having no potential and will be expelled."
"WHAAAAT?!" The entire classroom yelled at Aizawa. Bad gulped as he thought about what Aizawa said. Bad might not be the smartest person around, but he could tell that Aizawa was being absolutely serious about his proclamation. Bad unconsciously gripped his bat harder as he stared at his new Sensei.
"Aizawa Sensei, that's not fair!" the same brunette from earlier told him. Aizawa gave her a cold look. "And natural disasters are? How about power hungry villains attacking? The world is full of injustices. It's your job as future Pro Heroes to overcome these injustices. Now…" Aizawa didn't let them see it because he turned away, but he had a wicked smile on his face, "Let the games begin."
.
.
.
The first test was the 50 Meter Dash. The first two people to get up were Iida Tenya and Asui Tsuyu. They both were side by side ready to start as soon as they were given the signal. Then, the robot recording them shot a bullet and they were both hurrying as fast as they could. However, Iida was much faster than Asui due to the engines sticking out of his calves, so he was able to get to the end first.
"3.04 seconds!" The robot chimed as Iida ran by. A few moments later and Asui had hopped past the finish line. "5.58 seconds!" The robot chimed once again.
"With only 50 meters, I can only get up to third gear…" Iida thought to himself as Asui finished as well.
[Tenya Iida. Quirk: Engine! As you can see, his legs help him run faster than most other people! He is a speed machine!] (Quick A/N: I'm adding the Quirk explanations by Present Mic)
[Tsuyu Asui. Quirk: Frog! Basically, her Quirk lets her do anything a frog can, like jump farther and shoot her tongue out several meters!]
The girl, who I soon learned was named Uraraka Ochaco, started touching her clothing and other belongings. "Lighten up my clothes and shoes…"
[Ochaco Uraraka. Quirk: Zero Gravity! She can nullify the gravitational pull of any object she touches! But, if she goes over her limit, she'll get really nauseous!]
She ran along with the person next to her, whose Quirk was essentially just a giant tail that he naturally had.
"5.49 seconds!" The robot announced the boy, whose name I learned was Ojiro Mashirao, got to the finish line by pushing himself forward with his tail. Ochaco ran across after him. "7.15 seconds!"
"Oh, but it's still faster than when I was in Junior High!" The brunette commented in relief as she felt joyful about her score.
A boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a weird smile got up there along with a girl with pink skin and weird looking eyes; her eyes had black replaced with the natural white and her iris was yellow. The boy smirked before turning to the opposite side of the ending line.
"Everyone, you're not being creative enough. I'll show you what it's like…" The boy started as he jumped up and shot himself with a laser coming from his stomach as soon as the gunshot was heard! "...to be allowed to use your Quirk!" Everyone assumed that he was going to get a really fast time until a second after he stopped firing his laser and fell face first on the ground. He got back up and shot the laser again, but by the time he had gotten to the finish line the girl beside him had already finished.
"5.51 seconds!" The robot called out as he passed the finish line.
[Yuga Aoyama. Quirk: Navel Laser! He can shoot a laser straight from his bellybutton! However, he's limited by the amount of time he can shoot continuously!]
Aoyama turned to the class and gave them all his weird smile as everyone looked at him. "If I shoot for more than a second, I'll get a stomachache." Bad blinked a few times to see if he was seeing what he really was...and he swore he saw sparkling stars surrounding the boy as he smiled at them. The entire class had only one thought on their minds…
What the heck?
Next up were Midoriya and Bakugou. They both got into their positions and then the gunshot sound was let off. Bakugou was using explosions to propel himself forward and get to the end faster, all while screaming "Explosive Turbo!" He quickly blasted across the finish line as Midoriya came trailing behind him.
"4.13 seconds!" "7.02 seconds!" Midoriya was slightly panting as Aizawa looked in their direction. "Huh. When I use both hands, the force disperses…" Bakugou thought to himself as he closed and opened his palms.
[Katsuki Bakugou. Quirk: Explosion! He secretes nitroglycerine like sweat from his hands, which he can ignite! The more sweat he makes, the more powerful the explosion!]
There are seven more tests left...I'm sure everyone will use their Quirks to produce some extraordinary results in at least one of them. Meanwhile, I can only use my Quirk once before I break. And Bad is more physically fit than I am. If I don't do something...I'll be the one going home! Midoriya thought to himself as he walked away from the line.
Finally, it was Bad's turn along with another kid called Denki Kaminari. Denki looked ath Bad for a second before looking ahead. Bad got into the standard position and smiled. Time to see how much I've improved these past 10 months… Bad thought to himself as he heard the robot make the gunshot noise. He instantly started sprinting as fast as possible, one boy with red hair blinking when he saw the speed he was going at.
"5.01 seconds!" The robot called as Bad finished his sprint. The red haired boy whistled at the time and then started whispering to himself, "That kid didn't look like he used his Quirk, but he had a good time! Now that's manly…!" The boy thought to himself as Denki crossed the line after him.
Bad looks at Aizawa and sees that Aizawa is staring back at him, a contemplating look on his face. But a second afterwards, Aizawa's face went back to it's cold calculative look as he called out, "Alright, this test is over with. Let's head to the next one." Aizawa said as the class quickly walked to the next event.
.
.
.
The next event was the Grip Strength test, and not a lot of people got an above average score. There was one person who had six arms who used his extra appendages to add to his score.
"Whoa! 540 kg! What are you, a gorilla or something? Well, I guess an octopus would be more accurate." A plain looking boy looked at the silver haired kid as he just stared at the result.
[Mezo Shoji. Quirk: Dupli-Arms! His Quirk gave him extra arms which he can use to replicate any body part, including another arm!]
Bad looked at his own score and was a bit surprised to see he had about 100 kg on the scoring. He turned and looked at Aizawa as he once again was staring at him. Why does he keep staring at me? It's getting a bit weird… Bad thought to himself as he felt bad for Midoriya who only got 56 kg.
.
.
.
The next event was the Standing Long Jump. Bakugou just used his explosions to clear the sandbox and Aoyama used his navel laser to clear it as well. Asui was the closest to clearing the sandbox out of everyone, Ojiro and Bad being close behind her. Midoriya, however, didn't get that far into the sandbox.
.
.
.
The next event was the Repeated Side Steps. Bad was smiling as everyone stared at him with slightly widened eyes as he effortlessly stepped side to side. He wasn't really getting that tired, and if he had to be honest, he was doing it pretty well. When the timer ran out, he saw Aizawa looking at him.
"Out of everyone who has gone so far, sans Midoriya as he hasn't gone yet, you did the most repeated side steps out of everyone by a good portion." Aizawa droned out to Bad. Bad looked as Aizawa started putting eye drops in his eyes. Bad thought it was weird but shrugged it off as he waited for the next event.
.
.
.
The next event was the Ball Throw, and Bakugou was exempt from the event as he already did it. Ochaco got up to the circle and looked extra confident; Bad could understand why, with how her Quirk was. She touched the ball and then threw it into the air. It started going up.
And up.
And up.
And up.
Eventually, Aizawa showed the class the score, and everyone's eyes were the size of saucers.
"I-Infinity?!" The entire class exclaimed, Bad looking incredibly impressed by that feat! She easily got the farthest distance out of the class!
The next person up was Midoriya, and Bad felt a bit bad for him. He knew how One For All worked for Midoriya, including the consequences, and he was wondering what Midoriya would do. This was the one test that Midoriya could really excel in if he used his Quirk, but it would leave him unable to do as good on the other tests.
"It doesn't look good for Midoriya if he continues like this…" Iida thought out loud as Bakugou responded, "Huh? Of course not. He's a Quirkless small fry, you know." Iida looked shocked at Bakugou's statement. Quirkless? How?!
"Quirkless?! Are you not aware of what he did in the entrance exam?" "Huh?" Was Bakugou's reaction to Iida's counter.
Bad watched along with Aizawa and the rest of the class as Midoriya had lightning creases go across his arm as he threw the ball!
…
"46 Meters!" Midoriya looked just as shocked as everyone else. "B-But how? I swore I was using my Quirk when I threw the ball-" Aizawa was looking at Midoriya as he cut him off, "I erased your quirk." Midoriya and Bad both saw his goggles, and it clicked for them both. Midoriya spoke up in shock.
"I...I recognize you now! You're the Erasure Hero: Eraserhead! You're an Underground Hero who can erase someone's quirk by looking at them!" Midoriya exclaimed, Bad was surprised he remembered that hero from the last time he read about him in Midoriya's notes.
"From what I can tell, you can't control your Quirk, can you?" Aizawa said as his scarf floated around him and his eyes were a bright red. "Did you intend to incapacitate yourself again and have someone else have to save you?" Aizawa said with a shard edge in his voice that wasn't there earlier.
"T-That's not what my intention wa-" Midoriya didn't get to finish his statement as Aizawa pulled Midoriya to him again.
"Regardless of your intentions, I'm saying that's what those around you would be forced to do. In the past, there was an oppressively passionate Hero who saved over a thousand people by himself and created a legend...However, even if you have the same reckless valor, you'll just be useless after saving one person if you even do that." Each of Aizawa's words cut deep into Midoriya, but none of them hurt as badly as his next choice of words:
"Midoriya Izuku. With your power, you can't become a hero." Midoriya looked defeated as Aizawa handed him another ball. "You have two turns for the Ball Throw. Hurry up and get it over with." He walked back to where he stood while thinking to himself, No matter what he decides to do, it's over for him. If he decides to use his Quirk, he'll have proven myself right and made himself useless. If he doesn't use his Quirk, he won't get it nearly far enough to show his worth. No matter what he chooses, he's the one going home.
Bad felt like it was over for Midoriya, but he then noticed the look in his eyes. He then watched as Midoriya went to throw the ball, and at the last second he noticed small arcs of lightning...on the tip of his finger.
The ball was sent flying away from Midoriya, and everyone, Aizawa included, were absolutely shocked at how far the ball went! He...he used the tip of his finger! Maximizing the outcome while minimizing the backlash! Aizawa mentally praised the boy as Midoriya turned to him and clenched his fist.
"Aizawa Sensei...I'm still standing!" Aizawa couldn't help the smile that came to his face as Midoriya proved him of all people wrong. "This kid…!"
Bad was mentally praising Midoriya, but another person was absolutely seething. Bakugou charged straight at Midoriya, explosions coming off as he screamed. "What's the meaning of this? HEY! Tell me what the hell's going on, Deku, you bastard!" Midoriya looked absolutely scared, until Bakugou was restrained by Aizawa's scarf.
"What the hell? I can't move...what the hell is this scarf made of?" Bakugou questioned out loud as Aizawa explained.
"This scarf is actually a capture weapon made of carbon fibers woven together with a special metal alloy. Jeez…" Aizawa starts, grabbing everyone's attention, "Don't make me use my Quirk over and over...I have dry-eye!"
Such a waste, since his Quirk is so amazing! The class thought as Aizawa then looked to Bad after Bakugou calmed down. "It's your turn to do the Ball Throw." Aizawa thought. Bad nodded as he started walking forward, before Aizawa stopped him. "I want you to throw it first, then I want you to hit it with your bat." Bad looked confused at first, but then nodded in understanding.
"I wonder how he'll do here…" Jirou thought to herself as Bakugou turned to look at her as well. "Are you serious? He's a Quirkless loser, too. Don't know how the hell Deku got a quirk, but Pomp over there definitely doesn't have one, too." Jirou looked at Bakugou with disbelief, and decided to ignore him.
Bad decided to throw the softball as high and fast as possible to get it the farthest he could. It landed in sight as Aizawa showed the result: 78.85 meters.
"Now, try it again with your bat." Aizawa said as he handed him his metal bat.
"Eh? How come that kid gets to use a bat?" Kaminari thought as he looked to the plain looking one from earlier. "I don't know, but it might have something to do with his quirk?" They shrugged as they looked back at Bad.
Alright...I'm going to swing this as hard as I can as well as accurately; I can't just swing wildly...remember what you learned with All Might…! Bad thought to himself as he gripped his bat hard. "I'll say one thing…" Bad spoke to nobody in particular, though everyone heard him. "This whole apprehension test…" Aizawa kept his eyes solely on Bad, as everyone was ready to hear what he said. Bad then tossed the ball high into the air and put both his hands on his bat, gripping tight. At soon as the ball reached the right height, Bad hit it as hard as he could directly, saying one last thing:
"It's got me pumped up!"
The ball was sent out like a rocket, the force of the throw sending a bit of dust up. So much dust that Aizawa had to cover his eyes, clearly annoyed. Most of the class had wide open jaws at the sight of power they just witnessed. They all waited a bit, and Aizawa showed the score, making everyone nearly shout out in shock.
"2...2120 meters?! That's literally over two kilometers away!" Kaminari yelled while the plain looking boy was still struggling to get his jaw off the ground. Bad looked just as shocked as everyone else.
Holy crap...I was able to put that much power into my swing?!...I didn't think it would go that far… Bad thought to himself as he saw a slight scowl on Aizawa's face for a split second.
"Whoever's next, you should go." Aizawa said to the class. When Bad got back to his group, Bakugou turned and looked at him.
"How the hell did you do so good, Pomp?!" Bakugou basically screamed soft enough Aizawa shouldn't hear him. Bad just looked at him and scoffed. "I worked hard day and night to get to that level, and you would have been less surprised if you just opened your eyes a bit." Bakugou looked livid as the next person got up to toss.
.
.
.
The next three events went by fairly easily for Bad. The Seated Toe Touch didn't really have anybody who was able to use their quirks in it. For the Sit-Ups, the kid with white and red split hair, Bakugou, and Bad were all still doing Sit-Ups. Soon enough, Bakugou's body didn't move up fast enough and Aizawa called him out, to the annoyance of Bakugou. The other boy and Bad were still going at an equal pace, the other boy using his Quirk to keep himself cool somehow while Bad just kept pushing through. "I'm just full of Fighting Spirit…!" Bad muttered as he and the boy continued like this until Aizawa just called them off and said they would share the highest score.
The final test was the Long Distance Run, and there were a few people who did it incredibly fast compared to the rest. Iida was the first person done, as his Quirk put him right in his element. The second person done was the split haired boy, who used his Quirk to create a slide of ice that let him keep moving forward; Bad would need to figure out the boys Quirk later.
The third person to finish was the girl with the black ponytail, who somehow created an electric scooter and drove to the finish line. After her was Bakugou, using his explosions every few moments to get a boost, and right behind him was Bad, who was running as fast as he could, yelling "Fighting Spirit!" as he crossed the line. They all waited there a little bit before the next few people came through.
.
.
.
"Alright, I'll quickly tell you the results. The total score is simply the marks you got from each test. I won't waste your time giving you your scores verbally. So, I'll just show you all of them at the same time." Aizawa said as he clicked a button, revealing a scoreboard for the whole class to see. Bad scanned the scoreboard along with everyone else as he saw the results:
1st - Momo Yaoyorozu
2nd - Shoto Todoroki
3rd - Katsuki Bakugou
4th - Tenya Iida
5th - Fumikage Tokoyami
6th - Mezo Shoji
7th - Bad Gushiken
8th - Masahirao Ojiro
9th - Eijiro Kirishima
10th - Mina Ashido

Bad felt shocked by the fact that he got seventh out of everyone despite being quirkless, but he felt shocked when he saw Midoriya, his best friend, in last place. Midoriya looked very saddened, and so did a few others, until they heard Aizawa's next words:
"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion."
…
Eh?
Aizawa gave a mad grin as he looked at the classroom, "It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your Quirks." Aizawa's smile did not die down when everyone in the classroom basically screamed.
"EHHHHHHH?!" the girl with the ponytail, who Bad now knew as Yaoyorozu, spoke up.
"Of course it was a lie. It should've been obvious if you just thought about it though. I guess I should have said something."
Yeah, you should have.
Aizawa then put the device in his pocket, "With that, we're done here. We'll head back to class to give you a syllabus, but I forgot to get them from Nezu's office. In the meantime, you all can head to the classroom and use that time getting to know each other, I guess. Since you have nothing else to do, it's only rational to use your time learning about one another."
You yelled at us for trying that before you got in the class! Some of the students mentally yelled as they all got to the classroom. But before they left, Aizawa handed Midoriya a note, "You can go to the Nurse's Office and get your finger fixed up. Tomorrow will bring more challenges." Aizawa said as he walked around the wall of the building.
"...Alright, you can come out All Might." Aizawa said as the number one Hero appeared.
"Rational deception? Good lie, but we both know that's not true. You expelled your entire class last year because none of them had potential in your eyes. That must mean that you see what I see in Young Midoriya!" All Might exclaimed, pointing his finger at Aizawa. Aizawa blandly stared at All Might before speaking, "I think it's too early in the year to be picking favorites already, All Might. By the sounds of it, you've been in his corner the entire time." All Might tensed up and his finger curled up a bit. "I didn't see absolutely no potential in him, otherwise I would have kicked him out right away. That's all." Aizawa said as he walked off.
"We are very similar, you and I." All Might said to himself, "However, I don't think you and I will get along that well…"

"Sooo...what do you guys want to do?" The plain looking boy, Sero, said to the class as they all got into deep thought. Then, the invisible girl, Hagakure raised her hand. "Oooh! Ooh! We could say who we are and what our Quirk is!" Iida then turned to her and started chopping the air with his hand.
"An excellent idea, Hakagure-san! We should also mention one thing about ourselves!" Iida decided. Everyone agreed to this and they all got into an order. Surprisingly, Bad was at the very end of the line as everyone began to talk about themselves.
"My name is Aoyama Yuga! My Quirk is Navel Laser, and it lets me produce a laser from my belly button; if I hold it for longer than a second, I get a stomachache. One thing about my is that I have a sparkling and shining personality!" Aoyama exclaimed.
"My name is Ashido Mina, but you all can call me Mina! My Quirk is Acid, and it lets me produce acids from my skin! I can choose how corrosive and harmful the acids are, and I love to dance!" Ashido said with a goofy grin.
"My name is Asui Tsuyu, but please call me Tsu. My Quirk is Frog, and it lets me do whatever a frog can. I like rainy days." Asui stated very simply.
"My name is Iida Tenya! My Quirk is Engine, and it lets me move at fast speeds in short distances! I enjoy studying and spending time with my brother!" Everyone sweatdropped at his first statement.
"I'm Uraraka Ochaco! My Quirk is Zero Gravity, and it lets me make anything I touch lose it's gravitational pull; although I get nauseous if I use it for too long. I like anything sweet." Uraraka explained with a smile on her face.
"My name is Ojiro Masahirao, and I think we can all guess what my Quirk is." Everyone chuckled lightly at that. "I like learning more about Martial Arts and spending time with friends."
"I'm Kaminari Denki! My Quirk is Electrification, and it lets me produce electricity! I like hanging out with people." Kaminari explained pretty basically.
"I'm Kirishima Eijiro! My Quirk is Hardening, and it lets me harden my skin to be as strong as rock! I like things that are manly!" Kirishima says with a quick flex of his arm on the word 'manly.'
One person got a little board and wrote down 'My name is Koda Koji, and my Quirk lets me communicate animals to help me. I like watching animals!'
"My name is Sato Rikido, and my Quirk is Sugar Rush! It increases my strength five-fold for every 10 grams of sugar I consume for three minutes! I can increase the time by three minutes every 10 grams of sugar I consume, and after a while I'll get sleepy. I like baking things to help my Quirk!" Sato said as some of the girls smiled at the mention of baking.
"I'm Shoji Mezo, and my Quirk is called Dupli-Arms. I have these extra appendages that allow me to copy any body part I have. I like Takoyaki and Squid Ink Pasta." Shoji says through a mouth on one of his arms.
Bad pays extra attention to the only purple haired girl in the class, "I'm Jirou Kyoka, and my Quirk is Earphone Jack. I can plug my jacks into anything and send my heartbeat's pulse and sound through them. I can also stretch them farther than this distance and can listen to music with them. I like listening to music." Jirou says this with a bit of courage that he didn't really expect.
"I'm Sero Hanta! My Quirk is Tape! It lets me produce Tape from my elbows that are really sticky, and I can also cut the tape off at any point after leaving my elbow! I like eating healthy things like oranges!" Sero said, everyone in the class thinking one thing:
That's...a little boring.
"My name is Tokoyami Fumikage. My Quirk is called Dark Shadow. I have a creature of the dark abyss living inside of me that listens to my beck and call. I like spending time in dark places and reading poetry." Everyone stared oddly at Tokoyami's way of...wording what he said.
Everyone felt a little underwhelmed when the boy with heterochromatic eyes just stated, "Todoroki Shouto. Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot." And said absolutely nothing else. After a bit of silence, the invisible girl then explained her quirk to break the silence.
"I'm Hagakure Toru! My Quirk makes me invisible! I like watching those hidden-camera prank shows!" Hagakure states while her sleeves are moving wildly, making Bad assume that she was flailing her hands around.
"I'm Bakugou Katsuki, and I'm going to be the next number one Hero. My Quirk is Explosion, and it lets me create explosions from the sweat from my palms. I like eating spicy foods." Bakugou huffed the last part out as he looked away.
"M-M-My name's Midoriya I-Izuku, and my Quirk is...S-Super-P-Power! It lets me enhance my physical abilities, but I don't know how to control it yet...oh! I really like Katsudon and studying Heroes!" Bad smiled when he saw Midoriya find a way to hide his Quirk's real power, but almost laughed at the fake name he chose.
"My name is Yaoyorozu Momo, and my Quirk is Creation. My Quirk allows me to create anything from my body as long as I know it's molecular structure. I like to read encyclopedias." Everyone sweatdropped at the last thing she said like they did with Iida.
Bad then looked around the classroom and saw expecting eyes. "I'm Gushiken Bad…" Everyone looks at him when he takes in a deep breath and then lets it out. "And...I don't have a Quirk."
…
"Eh?" Kaminari was the first person to verbally respond.
"Wait, you don't have a Quirk?" Kirishima then states, making Bad nod. Kirishima looks at him for a moment...before giving a sharky grin. "You must be really manly and tough to have gotten into the Hero Course! And you have that crazy strength of yours!" Everyone then started saying things of similar things, making Bad blush slightly. Midoriya chuckled at the sight, and then Bad cleared his throat.
"Anyway, as I was saying...I'm Quirkless. I like spending time with my little sister Zenko, and my hobbies include going to Zenko's Piano Recital and training with my bat." Bad said as he held out his baseball bat. Jirou then put her fist over her other hand and exclaimed, "So that's why you used your bat during the test!" Everyone then nodded in understanding.
"Gushiken-san, I must say that I am incredibly impressed with your skills and determination to want to become a Pro Hero without a Quirk! I think that you'll be a great Hero one day!" Iida said, Kirishima nodding. "Yeah, bro! You're so manly you'll take out all the villains no problem!"
A little while after, they started talking, and Bad found that Kirishima, Iida, Ochaco, and Jirou were people that he were able to really appreciate talking with. They each exchanged their contact information, and they kept talking. Soon after, Aizawa walked in and everyone got silent a bit faster. Not fast enough though.
"It took you seven seconds this time; it's an improvement, and I hope you'll get better about it later." Aizawa said as he handed the syllabus out to everyone. After reading it, they all started heading out.
"So, do you guys want to walk to the station together?" Bad offered to Jirou, Kirishima, Iida, Ochaco, and Midoriya, all of them nodding.
"Oh, Midoriya-san...I wanted to apologize." Uraraka suddenly said. Everyone then turned to her, including a confused Midoriya. "Before you introduced yourself, I thought your name was Deku." Midoriya looked at the ground. "O-Oh! Well, that's just a name that Kaachan uses to make fun of me…" Midoriya explains.
"I do not see why someone would make fun of another person like that…" Iida started, Kirishima nodding. "Yeah, that's not very manly." Kirishima states. Uraraka then looks at Midoriya, "Well, I thought it meant something else. It kind of sounds like Dekiru, which means "You can do it!" It sounded pretty cute, too."
"You can call me Deku!" Bad had to stop himself from snorting at his friends instant change in demeanor. Iida thought it was weird, so he talked to Midoriya about it, only getting mumbled nonsense in return.
Yep, Bad thought to himself, I think I really am going to love U.A...

"Ah, Aizawa! Please, come in!" Nezu said as Aizawa sat down at the chair. Nezu pulled out some tea for Aizawa to sip on, which Aizawa took. He then looks at Nezu and starts speaking, "I have something I'd like to say; about Gushiken." Aizawa notices Nezu's eyes light up just slightly.
"Ah, what is it you would like to tell me about?" Nezu asks. Aizawa then shows him the results of his ball throw. "This is the score he got when he threw it. And this…" He then shows Gushikens second throw, "This is when he used his baseball bat. I had erased his Quirk...there was no possible way he should have been able to hit the baseball that far if it was from a Quirk. Meaning he truly is Quirkless. But that doesn't explain how he was able to hit it that far or how he knocked out that zero pointer. It...doesn't make any sense." Aizawa told Nezu. Nezu chuckled and then looked at Aizawa.
"I think you'll just have to spend more time figuring out how he did that; I fully trust in your abilities to analyze and see things others don't, Aizawa, and I know that if anyone will find out it's you." Nezu states, Aizawa nodding. "Besides, Bang is similar in a sense. We know where he gets his strength from, but we don't know how he got to where he was with what his Quirk is. All we have to do is give it more time." Aizawa nodded dully and then turned to walk out.
"Oh, and Aizawa." Aizawa turned to Nezu, who had a small smile on his face. "Next year, I'd appreciate it if you actually went to my Orientation. I know it's not required, but I would like to not spend time putting the seats up for students who won't be there." Aizawa looked at him and responded in a near monotone, "I'll think about it." And with that he walked out. Nezu sighed as he drank his tea. "That's Aizawa's way of saying 'It isn't going to happen.' Oh well." Nezu put his tea cup down as he pulled out a file labeled "Gushiken Bad." Nezu opened it and started reading, "Let's see if I can find any hints to your strength…" Nezu muttered as he began to read the file of his student.
A/N: And that's the second chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did! Now, I want to say that Spring Break has just started for me, meaning that I will likely get a new chapter out in a couple of days. Who knows? I might get it out by tomorrow!
Anyway, remember to review and show me that you enjoy the story! It actually made my heart swell with joy when I saw people reviewing my story, and I truly do appreciate it. I have nothing else to say, so have a good day/night, a great week, and as always: Stay Positive!
