MHA: Draigon
Hey, hey, howdy! There is no need to be afraid, and do you know why? Because another chapter is here! It's time for the first day of classes, and with both Izuku having better control of his Quirk, and Nemo joining the fray, we can only wonder how things'll go. With that in mind, on with the fic!
Early the next morning, Nemo found that his phone had been blowing up with texts.
[Mina 20:00]
Hey Nemo!
[Mina 20:10]
Nemo?
[Mina 20:19]
You there muscle boy?
[Mina 20:21]
Nemooooooooo *Sad emoji*
The messages went on for a while. Nemo chuckled as he typed a response.
[Nemo 6:19]
Hey Mina, sorry, I fell asleep pretty much as soon as I got home, so I missed your texts.
Nemo was about to put his phone away, but he noticed another text.
[Izuku 6:07]
All Might called me to the beach, you and Kacchan should come too.
[Nemo 6:20]
On my way.
With that, Nemo hopped out of bed, drank some orange juice, put a piece of toast in his mouth, and started running.
the exams, especially young Bakugou and Nemo who managed to reach the top two spots, and kudos to young Midoriya for getting eighth place."
"Why the f**k didn't you warn Deku how f*****g dangerous you Quirk was?" Said Kacchan.
Toshinori sighed. "I'm sorry, I should've said something, just be glad that young Midoriya had his prior experience before I started training him, otherwise he might've completely broken his arm and legs rather than the severe bruising that they did suffer." He explained.
Some explosions crackled in Bakugou's hands. "You're not helping your case." He growled.
"But why is this happening? I don't get that." Asked Deku.
"Young Midoriya, why doesn't young Bakugou's explosions instantly destroy his hands, or why does Nemo's flames instantly damage his skin the moment he uses them?" Asked Toshinori.
When Midoriya couldn't provide an answer, Nemo did. "Because our bodies were adjusted to suit our Quirks, yours isn't."
"He's right, your body will adjust to suit One for All, but that'll take time." Explained Toshinori. "Though I do have to ask, what was your first use of One for All like, before you injured yourself.
"Kinda like an egg in a microwave." Said Izuku after thinking for a moment. This caused his friends to face palm.
The three friends meet up outside of class 1A in April. "So all three of us were put in the same class?" Stated Deku.
"Hey, maybe we'll get lucky and that blue haired j*****s isn't in our class." Joked Katsuki.
Though they were proven to be unlucky as when they opened the door, they immediately saw the person whom they'd been discussing as he was in a conversation with one of their other classmates. "Ah! It's you!" Said the blue haired boy rushed up to them. He introduced himself as Tenya Iida and apologized for how he'd treated Midoriya upon their first meeting.
"Just don't treat Deku like that again you a*s." Muttered Kacchan as he pushed past Tenya and walked to his desk.
"Sorry about that." Said Izuku as a large sweatdrop appeared on his head, "he's like that with pretty much anyone that isn't Nechan or I."
"If you say sooo- get your feet off the table!" Shouted Iida as he ran off to lecture Bakugou.
"Well this place seems interesting said a familiar voice from behind their backs, causing a scream to emit from Deku as he leapt into the air and whipped his head around while Nemo calmly turned around, but then widened his eyes in surprise as he saw both Mina, and that gravity girl standing behind them.
"Hey! Mina!" Said Nemo as he smiled at the pink girl. "You're in 1A as well?"
"You'd better believe it!" She Said as she gave him a smile and a thumbs up.
"Hey it's you!" Said Midoriya as he pointed at the gravity girl.
"I can't believe that you did that! The way you punched that robot was incredible!" Shouted the girl as she started to rant about how impressed she was by Izuku's display of power in the exam, not noticing his now red face that he his behind his arms.
"If you're only reason for being here is to make friends then you should just pack up right now." Said a new voice, everyone's heads turned and saw a man lying on the floor in a yellow sleeping bag. "Welcome to U.A.'s Hero Course." Introduced the man as he began to unzip his bag and get up. While he did so, everyone stared at him in a shocked silence. The man introduced himself as their teacher, Mr. Aizawa and pulled out their gym clothes, telling them to put them on and head outside.
Everyone was shocked about their abrupt Quirk assessment test. Aizawa Explained That if they wanted to make it to the big leagues, they shouldn't waste time on pointless ceremonies. He then explains that since they couldn't use their Quirks in middle school, this'll test where their powers currently stand. Aizawa uses Katsuki as an example. Kacchan only threw about sixty-four meters in middle school, but after using his Quirk, Katsuki proceeds to throw over seven hundred meters. At first, the students are excited to participate, but Aizawa quickly shuts them down and announces that the student who ranks last in total points will be deemed hopeless and immediately expelled. The class is shocked by his announcement and the gravity girl declares that the rule is unfair. Aizawa replies that the world is unfair and it's a hero's job to combat that unfairness. The students were all having different thoughts regarding their current situation, but they all silently agreed that they needed to do their best.
Test 1: 50 meter dash.
Nemo looked to the side, next to him was Tenya and a girl with long green hair. "Runners, ready, set, go!" Said the machine, signaling their signal to start. Nemo focused, before using Goku's flight to, well, fly. And he was pretty fast too, In the end, he and Iida wound up ending in a tie. Nemo stood by and watched everyone else. He was impressed about how Mina and gravity girl applied their Quirks for speed boosts, and was unsurprised by Bakugou's use of explosions to propel himself. Though he frowned as Deku simply ran. Nemo stood and thought for a moment, there had to be a way for Midoriya to use his Quirk without incapacitating himself, right?
Test 2: Grip strength.
Nemo held the grip machine in his hand, before looking at one of his classmates, the one with six arms. He overheard how he'd ended up hitting five hundred and forty kilograms. Nemo took a breath and focused his strength that he acquired from Goku (he could only use the physical strength of any one person at a time, their physical strength does not stockpile like it does with One for All.) He, after a moment , let go and saw what he hit. "Three hundred." He muttered. Then he peered over at Izuku, and saw how the guy didn't even reach sixty. Nemo sighed, this was going to be hard.
Test 3: Standing long jump.
Nemo tilted his head to the side until he heard a satisfying crack, then crouched down and leapt while shooting fire from his hands and feet to propel himself through the air, deciding to take a page from Katsuki's book. Grunting as he hit the ground and rolled to avoid injury. Nemo looked and saw Deku's less than stellar landing.
Test 4: Side to side jumps
Nemo stared in shock as the grape head kept bouncing back and forth on those weird balls he pulled from his head. He blinked and simply relied on Goku's strenght again, hoping for the best.
Test 5: Ball throw
Everyone stared in shock as the gravity girl officially earned her nickname as the Infinity girl. Nemo was a little too shocked as he missed his name being called the first time. He snapped back into reality as Aizawa's frightening glare landed on him. "Sorry sir." Said Nemo nervously as he scratched the back of his head. He stepped up and his first instinct was to use Goku's strength again, but then he got an idea. "Sir, I have a request." He said.
"What is it?" Asked the teacher.
"I just need it so that nobody is standing directly behind me, otherwise, they could get hurt." Said Nemo.
"...Very well." Said Aizawa as he gestured to the other students to get out of the way.
Once they were clear, Nemo gripped the ball tightly before rearing his arm back, but when he did, his arm extended, and kept extending for as far as he could right now (about fifty meters). Once he reached his limit, he shouted, "Gum Gum!" Then his arm began to retract at an incredible rate, once his arm was near it's original length, he adjusted the angle of his arm so that it'd be in the proper position to launch the ball. "Catapult!" he shouted as the ball zoomed away. Everyone stared at the departing ball in shock.
"One thousand." Said Aizawa tiredly. Nemo sighed as he looked at the next person in-line: Izuku. Nemo's eyes narrowed, he knew that it was all or nothing now. If he doesn't pull something, he's going home. He winds up, and throws, and the ball barely makes any distance. The eyes of everyone widened. "I erased your Quirk." Said Aizawa, drawing everyone's attention. Then Izuku, Katsuki, And Nemo saw the goggles around his neck.
"Eraserhead, Quirk: Erasure, he can remove the effects of someone's Quirk with just a look, but the effect ends once he blinks." Said Nemo as he crossed his arms.
"Do you really think you have any chance of becoming a hero with a Quirk like that. Someone who can only throw one punch and then is just a liability has no place as a hero." Said the teacher. Then he sighed as his hair and eyes returned to normal. "I returned your Quirk, now take your turn he said. He then walked away and let Izuku try again.
Izuku clutched the ball nervously as thoughts of fear and paranoia raced through his head. Nemo looked at his friend. "C'mon Izuku, I believe in you, and I know everyone else does too." He thought as he looked at the others. Katsuki, Iida, Mina, the gravity girl, and the rest of their class too, and he knew that All Might was watching from somewhere thanks to the heightened senses he picked up from Natsu.
Noticing the green haired boy's worry, Bakugou spoke up. "Oi Deku, stop worrying and throw the d**m ball." He told the green haired boy.
This made some of their classmates look at the spiky haired blonde. "You didn't have to be so mean about it." They thought.
His words however, yield a different result than that of what they were expecting as the fear on Midoriya's face seemed to vanish. "Thanks Kacchan." He said with more confidence.
"That actually worked!?" Thought the same classmates in shock, Nemo looked at them and couldn't help but laugh silently at them.
Izuku thought back to everything that had happened in the last ten months. His training with All Might and his friends, and his last few months of school. Nemo had decided to keep his Quirk secret from everyone else at school, just to spite them all for how they were treated. He thought about how his mom had supported him, and she was so shocked about how he had abruptly "developed" a Quirk, and so shortly after Nemo discovered his. He smiled at the memories. then took a deep breath as he reared back, and threw, and the ball flew like a rocket. Nemo looked and saw Deku's bruised finger, which he held up to show the teacher as he said with a pained smile, "Well, what do you think? I'm still standing.
Nemo and Aizawa couldn't help but smile. "This kid." Said the teacher.
Done, done, done! Sorry, I meant to finish this yesterday, but ended up having to clean my backyard. (sweatdrop), so I just finished now. Look, I'm sorry if things are kinda boring right now, but once USJ starts things'll (hopefully) get more exciting. With that in mind I gotta jet so until next time fic fans, Nemon0416 is outta here! (Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!)
