"Hey!" - Normal Speech
"Hey!"-Yelling/Buff All Might
"Hey!"- Emphasis
'Hey!'- Thought
'Hey kid, are you alright? Can you give me a sign?' said the doctor, while the medical staff rushed the kid to the emergency room. 'Nurse Kendo, what is the situation?' he questioned the strawberry blonde nurse who was beginning to read the information to the doctor.
'Uhh..Name: Andre Lewis, Age thirt-' she began, only to be cut off by the doctor.
'I didn't mean that, what is his condition?' He demanded.
'Oh, he asphyxiated himself, as well as shown signs of cutting himself.' she tapped her wrists. 'We managed to stop the bleeding, but he developed convulsions, raised intra-cranial pressure. However we put him under to prevent the convulsions.'
'Do we know it was actually the kid and not an outside influence.' the doctor inquired.
'There's no evidence to say otherwise.'
The reverse quirk user shot up from his sleep, panting as sweat dripped down his face. Once he slowed his breathing Andre took a look at his clock on the nightstand.
NO ONE'S POV
"8:05!? Oh shit, I'm gonna be late!" he yelled as he rushed to get his uniform on. After he finished putting on his uniform, he rushed down stairs, grabbed a couple of slices of bacon, and ran out the door.
After running for 15 min, Andre reached the school for heroes, looking for any sign of his friend, Luke.
'Damn, he's probably in class already.' the dark skinned hero assumed, walking on to the campus of UA to look for his class. Once he arrived in front of the class 1-A door, he realized how tall the door was.
'Who the hell went to this school, Bigfoot!?' he laughed to himself as he opened the door to see Luke sleeping on the desk. Andre laughed as he silently walked over to Luke desk, rubbing his hands together. As he prevented himself from laughing, he smacked the Illusion artist on the back of his neck, causing him to jolt awake.
"Who the fu-" he started, until he looked up to see Andre howling in laughter while wiping tears from his eyes. Luke attempted to hit him with a 3 of clubs, but the reverse quirk user just dodged it, still laughing. "You suck." Luke growled, as Andre tried to recollect himself.
"Sorry, it was just too easy." Andre said, still trying to calm himself down.
"You guys are so immature." a certain raven-haired girl stated from across the class.
"Sorry Ms. Stoneface, you we wouldn't want you to corrode." the jokester teased, knowing it would make her upset.
"I already told you my name is Kyo-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" a spikey-haired blonde yelled.
"And pray tell, whom the fuck are you?" Andre replied, still smiling, albeit a more violent smile.
"The guy who's gonna kick your ass if you don't stop talking." growled the loud blonde, setting off explosions trying to intimidate the guy in front of him. Not budging, Andre walked up to him and looked down into the blonde's red eyes.
"Oh really?" he asked, cracking his knuckles, "Why don't we pick up where we left off then?" the people in the room watching to see who was gonna make the first move. Then, the engine quirk user stepped in between the two before anyone could make a move.
"You two should not be fighting." he lectured, "You're supposed to want to be heroes, and you are classmates." before Tenya could continue, Andre gave him a cold stare and walked away, putting his black headphones on.
"Tch. Whatever." the blonde muttered, making his way back to the desk he was at and kicking his feet up on the desk.
Andre's POV
As I made my way across the class, I saw Barry sitting at his desk reading a book so I decided to sit next to him. Once I sat down, we waved at each other and he went back to reading his book. While I was listening to music, I decided to take a nap.
Kyoka's POV
Why did he have to go and sit behind me? What type of game is this world playing? I lowered my head on to my desk with a loud 'thud', catching the attention of Mina.
"What's wrong, Kyoka?" Mina asked, and without a word pointed with my thumb to the jackass sitting behind me. He was leaning back in his chair with his headphones on and his eyes closed. "Aww maybe it's meant to be." I blushed and stuck my earphone jack in Mina's ear as a response. "Haha, that means I was right." She laughed as I growled.
Unintentionally, I looked to his left to see the pale kid from the exams, who was reading a book with his eyes closed. He looked up at me and smiled. I quickly turned away confused as to how he saw me.
"I bet you're wondering how I saw you." he said, scaring the absolute shit out of me.
"Y-yes." I shakily replied. 'Why is this guy so scary?' I shuddered, internally.
"It's because I'm not blind."He stated, turning back to his book. I exhaled in relief, glad that I finished this encounter.
Timeskip
Andre's POV
"Ow! What the hell!?" I yelled as I jolted out of my sleep. "Who flicked me?" I opened my eyes to see none other than Ms. Stoneface herself. I took off my headphones because it looked like she was trying to tell me something.
"Let's go!" she demanded, popping a vein out of her head as she spoke.
"Why?"
"Mr. Aizawa wants us to put on our gym uniforms and go outside."
"What the hell did I miss?"
"A lot." she stated, rolling her eyes. "Come on, we gotta go get changed."
Once we got out to the field, Mr. Aizawa began to explain his reasoning for bringing us out here. However during his explaining, I tapped Luke on the shoulder.
"Yo, I'm gonna sit in the shade, it's way too hot out here. Let me know what we're doing once he finishes talking."I said quietly, trying to avoid Mr. Aizawa's glare.
"I got you bro. You've always been like this: slacking off, yet excelling." he replied as we fist bumped. I went to sit in the shade and relax, and as I sat down, Mr. Aizawa decided to call me out.
"Andre, since you seem to be slacking off, how about you come to the front." Scarf-dude said, causing me to become flustered and angry.
"How about you take that scarf off, considering it's March." I muttered under my breath, generating a sigh from Kyoka.
"What did you say Mr. Lewis?" Mr. Aizawa growled at me.
"Nothing sir!" I said as I gave a mock salute.
"How far could you throw in middle school?" Mr. Aizawa asked.
"Don't know, I never tried." I shrugged, earning a gasp from Tenya and a scoff from Mr. Aizawa. "Can it, Jet Leg." I spat at the engine quirk user.
"Try throwing it with your quirk. Anything goes, just stay inside the circle." Aizawa instructed. As I stepped inside the circle, I pull out my switchblade knife that I packed, shocking everyone. As I steadied my breathing I made a medium sized gash in my hand, earning a collective gasp from everyone.
NO ONE'S POV
As he cut himself, Andre's method earned a variety of reactions from the class.
'What is this guy's deal?'
'I wonder if that's a part of his quirk.'
'I'll have to keep an eye on this one.'
As the blood began to drip from his hand, the reverse quirk user was surrounded by a purple aura. His eyes turned purple, and his black mini-afro became a pale shade of purple. He then cocked back his arm and launched the ball into the atmosphere, prompting Aizawa to monologue.
"It's important to know your limits." Aizawa stated, showing everyone Andre's score of 850.6 meters.
"850 meters, seriously!?" said a spiky redhead.
"This is so awesome!" yelled a blonde with a black lightning bolt design in his head.
"...Awesome you say." the erasure quirk user slowly turned to face the over excited boy, who began to freeze up in the face of the pro hero's gaze. "You have three years to become a hero, and you think it'll be awesome? All right." Aizawa paused for dramatic effect. "Whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be considered hopeless and will be kicked out of UA." Aizawa decided, delivering a shit-eating grin as he did so.
"HUH!?" the entirety of Class 1-A yelled together.
Andre's POV
'Is he serious? Nah he's messing around… at least I hope so.' I sweatdropped. 'I mean it's not like i'm coming in last.' I sighed in relief. I looked over to see how everyone was doing with this announcement.
Luke was getting pumped up, eager to start this test. "No pain, no gain?." I said to Luke, cracking a grin as I stuck my fist out.
"No pain, no gain." he replied with a smile of his own, fistbumping me in return. I scour over the class/competition to see who else I could talk to. As I kept looking, Barry walked up to me and we began talking.
"You ready for this Barry?" I asked, trying to figure out what his stance was.
"I'm actually just waiting for this to be over."
"Overconfident are we?"
"No, I just know my strengths and weaknesses."
"Sounds to me like you think you're all that." Luke bluntly stated.
"No, I just know I'm better than you."
"Absolutely not!"
As the pair began to argue I noticed that Izuku was standing off to the side muttering to himself. 'He's gonna psych himself out' I sweatdropped as I made my way over to the greenie to cheer him up.
Izuku POV
'Punished with expulsion?! Oh no, this is bad! In all eight tests? I can only use One For All at either a hundred or zero percent. I can't control it yet! A huge test on the first day of school? What am I going to do?!' I thought, and unknowingly muttered into existence. That was until I felt a hand on my shoulder.
Andre's POV
"Hey bro, don't psych yourself out, you got this." I flashed a smile and gave him a thumbs up. He looked at me with wide eyes. "I mean, you made into UA. So don't think otherwise." I offered a fistbump out to the green-haired kid, which he hesitantly accepted. "See, you got the hang of it man." I said as I patted his back and walked away. I looked back to see him looked at his fist balled up. Man this dude is a character.
Izuku's POV
'He…...he fistbumped me? He fistbumped me! No one's ever done that to me before. What does that mean. Oh no! I didn't ask him about his quirk. I'll be sure to ask him next time. But for now I have to focus on this test and making sure I don't get kicked out right away.' I thought as I clenched my fist in determination.
Kyoka's POV
I watched as the resident jackass walked away from cheering up that green-haired kid.
'Huh, I guess he's not that much of an asshole.' I shrugged, realizing that I still don't know that guy's name. So I decided to walk up to him and ask, like a normal person….
"Hey jackass, I never asked what your name was." I said, waving as I did so.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet." he said in a british accent.
'Oh yeah, I forgot he isn't a normal person.' I sweatdropped. "So is that a no or…"
"I'm just messin' with you, the name's Andre." he replied with a smile. "You ready for this test?" he asked me.
"As ready as I'll ever be, I guess."
"Alright, let's get this over with." Mr. Aizawa said, marking the beginning of the Quirk Apprehension Test.
NO ONE'S POV
The first test was a simple 50 meter dash, with the exception that the students could use their quirks (obviously). The first match-up was Tenya Iida up against a girl whose physical structure is similar to a frog. Tenya received a time of 3.04 seconds, while the frog-like girl earned a time of 5.58 seconds.
After a couple of sets, the next two up to the line were Andre and Luke.
"Now don't say anything when I make you look like trash." Andre said, sporting a sly grin while lining up.
"See the problem with that is, I don't lose." Luke shot back. As he did so, Andre made a cut in his other hand, again gaining sickened reactions from the students.
"Wanna bet?" he asked, as he channeled his aura into his legs. Before the reverse quirk user could get an answer, the signal went off. Andre ended up beating Luke with a time of 4.67 seconds while Luke scored 5.04 seconds.
"I told you I'd beat you Luke." Andre said, panting.
"Yeah yeah, whatever." Luke said, panting just as much and drenched in sweat. Both internally knowing that they had a long way to go with their endurance training.
The last 50m duo was Barry Mundo and a guy with bright yellow hair with a black lightning bolt design. As they lined up the 'electric blonde' flashed a smile and a thumbs up to which Barry opened his icy blue eyes and glared at the blonde.
'Jeez what's his problem' the blonde shivered. The run ended with Barry getting a time of 5.03 seconds and the energetic blonde securing a time of 7.09 seconds.
"Told you i'd do better than you." Barry teased Luke while walking up to him and the reverse quirk user to goat.
"Whatever, I'm still gonna place higher than you." Luke spat as lightning shot between the two.
In every event, Andre had to make another cut on his body in order for his quirk to activate, which was evidently shown by the time they got to the long distance run. As the reverse quirk user ran, his vision began to blur.
'Can't *huff* pass out *huff* just...' Andre's thoughts were cut of by the earphone jack user, who had a look of concern on her face.
"Andre, are you ok?" she asked, concern obviously present in her voice. He stopped to give Kyoka a thumbs up, only to fall face first onto the track. Kyoka ran over to check on Andre. "Come on, get up jackass." she said while shaking him, only to get no reaction. "Andre this isn't funny." still no response from him. Luke caught sight of this and ran over to the scene.
"What the hell happened!?" the Illusion quirk user asked, impatiently waiting for an answer.
"I don't know he just passed out." Kyoka said, beginning to panic as she realized how many cuts are on the African-American's arm.
"He probably just over did it, again." Luke realized.
"What do you mean 'again'." Kyoka asked, making Luke's eyes go wide.
"Uhhh, nothing. I'm gonna take him to the nurse." Luke spat, speeding off before Kyoka could object. Mr. Aizawa noticed this and scoffed at the scene.
'That kid has some serious issues, but he's not hopeless. He needs to learn how to not always rely on his quirk. I guess that's just another thing I have to teach.'
