1 Week Later…
It was night time at the midoriya's apartment and Inko just got done setting up dinner for everyone. She quickly called Izuka and Natsu to the kitchen to start eating, Natsu right away started chowing down his food like always, Izuka was about to take a bite until.
"I bet you guys can't wait for the results to come in." Inko said while starting to eat. Natsu looked at her and smiled while nodding really fast. Izuka on the other hand froze and stared at her fish with a blank expression on her face with a simile.
"Izuka? Izuka? Iuzka!?" The mother said, She was concerned about the Izuka blank expression. Natsu mean while stopped eating for a second and looked at Izuka as well.
"Hey, are you all ok sweetie? Why are you just staring at the food?" The mother asked concerned. Izuka snapped out of it and started apologizing and saying she was fine. After they were done eating both Izuka and Natsu went to the couch and sat, Natsu started to watch TV while Izuka kept the blank expression and started working out her hand like she usually does.
"Hey.. Izuka are you really ok? You rarely ever act like this." Natsu questioned. Izuka just turned her head towards Natsu and just nodded at him. It looked like she was in deep thought as she started gripping her phone tighter. Izuka sighed as her blanked face turned into a depressed one.
"The exam results should arrive today or tomorrow, right?" Inko asked hoping to cheer up her daughter. Izuka just released a weak "Yes.." and looked even more depressed.
"You know, I think it's still amazing that you even applied at U.A!" Inko said starting to panic a bit, with Natsu nodding in agreement. But once again Izuka just let out a very weak "Yeah..". Inko went to the door to check if the results came in or if anything did.
Izuka's depressed face slowly went away but she still looked like she was in deep thought. She also put down her phone and started lifting the weight that was next to her. Izuka kept lifting in deep thought until both her and Natsu heard running footsteps until the door opened revealing the mother with two notes.
"I-Iz-Izuka, N-Natsu. It's here! It's here! The test results from U.A they're here!" Inko said stuttering in the process. Natsu and Izuka started at it for a moment before getting up and getting it. After taking them they both walked slowly to their rooms. Before Izuka went into her room she grabbed Natsu by his arm sleeve. Natsu turned around and looked at her.
"Natsu.. promise me that, even if I don't make it into U.A.. that you'll still join and become a hero." Izuka said sadly avoiding looking into his eyes. Natsu noticed her sadden tone but just smiled.
"Izuka, there's no way that you failed. I mean not only did you become way stronger but you also saved someone, the main point of a hero!" Natsu responded back to her still smiling. Izuka slowly looked him in the eye's noticing that he was smiling. This made Izuka have hope as she always knew she could count on Natsu and her mom to support him. After looking Natsu in the eye's for a second Izuka went into her room and closed the door.
Natsu then made his way towards his room. Once he got there he closed his door and sat on his bed. Inko was pacing back and forth between both of the rooms door. Natsu's light was on and he stared at the envelope for a few seconds before opening it. A weird disk thing came out creating a projection.
"Hello young Natsu! If you didn't know I came here to work at U.A." All Might said proudly laughing before and man offscreen signaled him to wrap things up.
"Listen here young one, even for someone of your caliber your results still shocked many!" All Might exclaimed showing the results through the projection. Natsu just stood and watched as he saw right next to his name, He had 55 villain points and 20 heroes points. Coming in second place.
"Not only did you take down enemies you also saved people while you were at it, for this and for also many other reasons you have successfully joined U.A!" All Might shouted proudly before the disk shutted down. Natsu was really happy more than shocked he knew he was going to make it in with confidence. But there was one thing bothering him a lot, it was his points. It wasn't about how many points he got, but where it placed him. It got him to second place normanly he wouldn't get too mad about the placement he came in but this was different. Because while he did beat a lot of people the one person he lost two was none other than Katsuka.
"DANG IT!" Natsu couldn't help but shout to himself. This made Inko bust in his room with Izuka going in shortly after.
"W-What h-happened N-Natsu." Inko asked nervously. As Izuka walked wondering the same thing, Natsu just looked at them with disappointment in his eyes.
"I… I lost!" Natsu said to them with disappointment in his voice. Because they don't know what's going on this got them even more worried.
"W-What do you mean y-you lost. I'm sure I saw your name near the top of the r-results." Izuka said back nervously.
"No.. I came in second place, I'm in U.A but still, I lost.. I LOST TO KATSUKA!." Natsu shouted back with disappointment in himself. Izuka and Inko just looked at him with a blank face, Natsu looked at them confused on why they're looking at him like that.
"Hey mom I'm going to sleep now.." Izuka said realizing they were worried for no reason. Inko nodded at her smiling. Shortly after Inko went to bed after saying good night to both of them also saying she's proud of what they have done. Natsu just lied there in bed thinking of all the new friends he's gonna meet there and all the adventures bond to happen.
Timeskip to April
The day has come, and both Natsu and Izuka were happy and nervous.. Well, it was Izuka that was a bit nervous. But still they both were ready to face the challenges that awaits them in U.A. Just thinking about the challenges gets Natsu even more fired up. Although he's fired up this caused him to lose focus on getting ready so now Izuka was waiting for him. While getting ready Inko kept reminding them of things they should have just in case they forgot anything, after knowing they have everything the two finally left to go to U.A.
"This is so exciting! But I still can't help but feel a bit nervous." Izuka said while running to U.A
"I'm more fired up than anything. I can't see how nervous you are." Natsu said running alongside her. Izuka turned her head a bit to see him joyfulling smiling. Izuka felt a little less nervous now and was starting to get more excited. She felt as if everything was going to be okay, she kept that feeling all the way there until she got into the hallway heading towards their classroom. This is when the nervousness came back.
"Ahhh.. We're finally here. Are you ready to go in, Izuka?" Natsu asked with his usually toothy grin. Izuka looked at him with her nervous and worried face and nodded slowly.
"I just hope we aren't in the class with the scary people." She said before Natsu loudly opened the door. And the first thing they saw was not surprising to them, It was Katsuka already getting into an argument with a black hair man.
"Take your legs off the desk." The man said seriously to Katsuka. Katsuka looked at his face and said "Huh?" This only made The man more serious.
"Don't you think that's rude to our upperclassmen and to the people who made that very desk?" The serious man responded.
"I don't!" Katsuka shouted back with the look 'I really don't' in her eyes. (A/N I'm not the best at describing outfits just know that they're both wearing the standard U.A uniforms.
"What junior high did you go to, you random?" Katsuka added with the same look in her eyes. The man seemed to be thrown off by this question but quickly recovered
"If you must know I attended Somei Private Academy. My name is Tenya Lida" The man said while introducing himself.
"Somei!? So you're some fancy elite boy. I'm going to have fun crushing you!" Katsuka responded back cockily. The man was definitely thrown off by her response and started questioning her if she truly wanted to become a hero. Katsuka just looked off and "Tch" him.
The man was gonna say something back but Natsu loudly opened the door.
"You're.." The man now known as Lida said quietly. And due to Natsu already opening the door loudly everyone was now staring at them. Natsu smiled and gave a small wave to them but Izuka was stumbling on her words trying to say something. Lida greeted them and was about to introduce himself again before Izuka noted they already know who he is.
"I-I'm Izuka Midoyira. Nice to meet you, Lida." Izuka said trying to calm herself. Lida kept his serious face and turned to Natsu.
"And you are?" Lida questioned the pink haired boy. The whole class then looked at Natsu and stared waiting for a response.
"Oh, my name is-" Natsu was saying before a blondie cutted him off.
"Oi, you're the same boy who helped me during the exam.." The blonde said getting up from her desk, and now walking towards him.
"Hi, my name is Kaminari but you can call me Kami." The blonde that goes by Kami said to Natsu placing her hand on his chest looking him in the eyes.
"My turn I guess, My Name is Natsu, Natsu Dragneel nice to meet you Kami!" Natsu said cheerfully to her. While this was going on they were getting stares from Katsuka who seemed to be getting mad.
"Hey Flame Brain! How were you recommended but I still got more points than you?" Katsuka said in an arrogant and cocky manner.
"I'm not surprised someone like you placed high, after all people would always call us rivals. But still for you to beat was lucky." Natsu replied. Katsuka balled her fisted a bit and thought "Rivals huh" before having a flashback.
Katsuka was walking down the school hallways before bumping into Natsu. Natsu was gonna keep walking until..
"Hey pinky what do you think you're doing with this U.A business." Katsuka said grabbing Natsu sleeve practically demanding an answer. Natsu sighed before giving answer
"You mean me getting recommended? Oh, If that's the case I don't really know what to really say.. maybe the picked because I'm not so short fused like you." Natsy said in an almost taunting tone. Katsuka was about to say something but Natsu began talking again.
"But that's what so good about you, I mean every time you get mad and we would start to fight it's like the only time I can really try. It's my will to never give up vs your mindset that you are the best and that you will always win, that's what makes it so fun to battle you!" Natsu told Katsuka. Katsuka looks him in the eyes with hers wide open for a moment before turning away scoffing, blushing a bit.
"Whatever, I don't care anymore.. Just don't get in my way got it!" Katsuka shouted before leaving.
"Whatever I'm still going to become the number one hero." Katsuka said before returning to her desk. Natsu turned to see Izuka talking to the brown hair girl from the exam that goes by Ochaco.
"Go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends." A voice from a yellow sleeping bag on the ground said.
"This is a hero course" The person in the sleeping bag said before drinking a pouch of juice. The class didn't know how to react so their jaws just dropped. The person got out the sleeping bag revealing himself to be a teacher. But all the teachers are heroes and most people don't have a clue to who he is. The teacher then told them about how long it took them to be quiet and that they're all irrational. The teacher introduced himself to be the homeroom teacher Shota Aizawa.
"I know this is sudden, but all of you put this on and go out onto the field. Aizawa said tiredly as he was taking out a blue training uniform with a white triangle outlined with red in the middle of it. The class put the training uniforms on and went outside. Aizawa told them that they were taking a Quirk assessment test. This actually made the class shocked probably cause it seemed so random.
"If you're going to become a hero, you don't have time for leisurely things. U.A's selling point is how unrestricted it's school traditions are. It's the same on how the teachers run their classes." Aizawa said still in his tired voice. The class looked at their teacher as if they had many questions they wanted to ask.
"You kids have been doing these since junior high, too, right?" Aizawa asked with the same tone as before. The class didn't say anything though as they assumed he was going to add something to his question which he did.
"Physical fitness tests where you weren't allowed to use your Quirks. The country still uses averages from students not using their Quirks. It's not rational. Well, the Ministry of education is procrastinating." Awazia said this time a bit more seriously. Awazia turned his head towards Katsuka.
"Katsuka Bakugo, you finished at the top of the practical exam, right?" Awazia asked, looking her in the face. Everyone's eyes shifted towards Katsuka after the question was asked. Katsuka was a bit surprised at this sudden question but kept listening to what the teacher was saying.
"In junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?" Awazia followed with. The class kept quiet for Katsuka waiting to hear her answer. Katsuka didn't take long at all to answer this question.
"68 meters." Katsuka responded back.
"Then, try it using your Quirk this time." Awazia said instructing Katsuka. Katsuka waked to the teacher to get a ball, she then went into a small white circle used to measure how far you can throw the ball. After getting in the middle of the circle she looked at Awazia to see if he had anything to say.
"You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle. Hurry up, Give it all you got." Awazia said to Katsuka. Katsuka nodded and then started stretching getting ready to throw the ball into oblivion.
"DIE!" Katsuka yelled while throwing the ball with her Quirk activated. Izuka sweated a bit after hearing Katsuka shout die.
"Know your maximum first. That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero." Awaiza plainly said, Showing them Katsuka results which was 710.5 meters, now since she added her Quirk to the mix. Most people in that class were shocked at seeing such a ridiculously high number. The students couldn't help but to talk about the assessment there about to all do. A lot of the students were excited and were saying it looked like fun. That didn't sit too well with Awazia.
"You all have three years to become a hero. Will you keep that same attitude like that the whole time?" Awazia asked the class. Most of the class grew a worried look in their faces after hearing that.
"All right then.. Whoever comes in last place after all eight tests will be deemed to have no potential.. and will be punished with expulsion. Awazia said with a creepy grin on his face. The class yelled in shock after hearing that whoever comes in last place will be expelled. The class intensity grew and Izuka's face grew worried.
"Bring it on! I won't lose to anyone!" Natsu shouted out of nowhere. Izuka looked at him and thought to herself that she needed more confidence in herself. While Kami and a white haired girl with the rest of the class looked at him confused on why he's so fired up.
"That's a strong statement for someone who came in second place you know." Katsuka said drawing the attention back to her.
"That was a lucky break, so don't expect it to happen again." Natsu shot back. The students can see the intensity growing between them. the two were staring at each other until the teacher said something.
"We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students. Welcome to the U.A's hero course!" Awazia said to his class, causing more intensity to grow..
"Last place will be expelled!? But it's the first day of school! Still, even if it wasn't the first day of school, it's still too unfair!" A brown haired girl that goes by Ochaco said to the teacher.
"Natural disasters, big accidents, and selfish villains. There are countless crimes or calamities whose time or place can't be predicted. Japan is covered in unfairness. Heroes are the ones who reverses the tides. If you wanted to go chat with your friends after school at Mickey D's, too bad. For the next three years, U.A will do all it can to give you hardships one after another. You have to Go beyond. Plus Ultra. And you have to overcome it with all you got." Awazia speeched with his plain and tired voice.
The speech the teacher just gave replaced most of that intensity with a new found motivation and seriousness in the students.
"All right are you ready, cause the real thing starts now." Awazia said before starting the first test.
Test Number One: The 50-Meter Dash
The first race was between a frog like girl named Tsuyu Asui going against Lida. The race was over quickly with Lida winning with the time of 3.04 seconds beating the frog girl. (Tenya Lida Quirk: Engine his Quirk makes him fast because of these exhaust like pipes coming out of the back of his legs giving him a boost when needed.) The frog-like girl finished with a time of 5.58 seconds.
The second race was between Ochaco (Ochaco Uraraka Quirk: Zero Gravity! Her Quirk allows her to nullify the gravitational pull of things she touches. Although if she uses this power too much she will start to get very nauseous.) and a blonde hair boy with a huge tail. The race ended with the boy winning with the score of 5.49 seconds while Ochaco had a score of 7.15.
The third race was between a sparkly golden hair person (Yuga Aoyama Quirk: Navel Lazer. His Quirk makes him able to shoot a beam of light from his belly button. The downside is that he's only able to shoot the beam for one second before making his stomach start to hurt.) versus a pink skin, pink hair girl with small yellow horns coming out her head. The two ended up in a tie with the time of 5.51 seconds.
The fourth race was between Natsu and Katsuka. Before the race started they exchanged a few words. When the race started Katsuka kept using her explosion to keep adding speed versus Natsu using his Flames to constantly give him a huge boost. Natsu ended up winning with a time of 3.64 seconds against Katsuka's time of 4.08 seconds.
"Looks I win Katsuka, told you I'm not losing." Natsu said proudly. Katsuka just "Tch' and walked away from him.
The fifth race was between Kami and Izuka. Kami ended up winning with the time of 4.89 seconds and Izuka had the time of 7 seconds flat, after getting a few breaths in Izuka knew she's going to have to do better to avoid last place.
The next test was grip strength. Everyone seemed to be doing good. Natsu got 113 kg for his results, Izuka got a score of 56 kg which was surprising, but something even more surprising was that a tall man with multiple arms got a score that went over 500 kg.
The third test was the standing long jump. Everyone was once again doing really well, people like Katsuka and Natsu blew by this challenge, but Izuka was struggling getting one of the lowest scores in the class once again.
The fourth test was repeated side steps. The person who stood out was a short kid with purple balls as hair. The kid made two even bigger balls by sticking the one on his head together and bouncing off of them. Izuka kept struggling and Natsu performed well but it definitely wasn't his best.
The fifth test was the ball throw. The same test Katsuka did earlier. The results for this were surprising. The girl Ochaco managed to get infinity, Natsu got 815 meters which also shocked the whole class. Izuka was shocked at the scores and knew if she wanted to have a shot of avoiding last place she would have to place really well in this one. When it was her turn she walked into th white circle and was preparing to throw the ball.
"If she keeps it up like this.. It won't look too good for her." Lida said seriously.
"Huh? What are you talking about of course it's not going well. She's a Quirkless small fry you know." Katsuka said back having no faith in Izuka.
"That's where you're wrong. Izuka may be a Quirkless but she's definitely not a smallfry anymore, she has been training everyday and got immensely stronger. In Fact I saw her new power with my own eyes!" Natsu interrupted confidently. Lida and Katsuka turned at Natsu wondering different things.
"It doesn't change the fact that she's Quirkless still." Katsuka responded while keeping the same voice from earlier. Meanwhile Lida looked at them both shocked.
"Quirkless? Didn't they see her at the entrance exams?" Lida thought to himself. The three of them went to look at Izuka who was about to throw the ball. It seemed like Izuka gathered all her strength and was about to launch the ball in the air but, as she released the ball all of her power seemed to vanish. Confusing the crowd of students due to the anticlimactic throw.
"See! What did I say, she's still a small fry." Katsuka said proudly. The crowd's eyes still stayed on Izuka though.
"No.. I saw it. It may have been a brief moment but I saw her gather all her power, but that power mysteriously disappeared. Natsu said confused on what just happened. Natsu's answer also got Katsuka thinking confused. They weren't the only ones confused however as Izuka was not only confused but was shocked. She was sure she activated her Quirk, "why didn't it work?" she asked herself.
"I erased your Quirk. Looks like the entrance exam wasn't rational enough." Awazia stated darkly with bandages flying around him also with piercing red eyes. Izuka looked over at him in shock so did most of the class. The one who was most surprised was Natsu, what he heard Awaiza said threw him off. "He erased Izuka's Quirk? How!? I'm sure she doesn't have a Quirk!" Natsu yelled in his mind, that was the part Natsu was most confused about. Awazia said something else but Natsu was tied up in his brain.
"You erased my Quirk?" Izuka asked not knowing how to feel. It was only after a while she finally recognized who it was. It was The Erasure Hero, what brought her to the clonsuison was the teachers' goggles and eye's. The rest of the class seemed to never had heard of this hero except for a few. Behind those students hiding behind a building was All Might. Watching Izuka carefully, wondering how these events will unfold.
Awazia was warning Izuka about these results, soon pulling her closer with his bandages showing how serious he was. It didn't take long for Izuka to know that the teacher was right. Awazia gave Izuka another chance since he did after all interfere with her throw.
"YOU GOT THIS! Show them what your training is for!" Natsu cheered as Izuka was walking up into the circle. Izuka looked at Natsu and nodded determined to prove herself. Whispers were growing among the students other than Natsu who's still cheering for her. Izuka finally got in the circle. She had a determined and intense face, she was trying to figure out how she was going to do this. Izuka knew that she couldn't control her power but she also knew she couldn't come in
last. After thinking for a bit she thought of the plan..
Izuka launched the ball into the air powerfully, people could even feel the wind pressure. Naturally this shocked everyone especially Natsu to, up until this point didn't even know she had a Quirk.
"IZUKA! Why didn't you tell me you were this strong!? Come on we got to spar now!" Natsu yelled grabbing her by the shoulders very close to her face, Izuka blushed a bit due to Natsu sudden contact not to mention his face being very close to hers. Natsu kept on with his questions and statements relating to fighting. Izuka smiled happily knowing that she made him and everyone else proud. Awazia walked up to her and told her, the score she got..708.6 Meters! All Might on the other hand still hiding, was proud about how she quickly adapted knowing the consequence of using 100% right now.
Katsuka just stood shocked and mad, one because she thinks Izuka's was lying about not having a Quirk this whole time as a way for Izuka to look down at her. And the other reason.. Well she doesn't know she just knows that something else is making her mad. The rest of the class was also in shock but the shock of awe, They were surprised that Izuka managed to get a score that high.
"What's the meaning of this!?.. I demand an answer Deku, you reject! Katsuka shouted as she ran towards Izuka still mad. Izuka panicked as Katsuka was getting closer, Natsu went behind Katsuka warped both of his arms around her stomach and picked her up.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing? You're not the only one surprised, you know." Natsu said, still holding her up. Some Kid in the crowd of students shouted lucky towards Natsu. Katsuka was surprised by Natsu randomly picking her up. She tried to rip his hands off of her but didn't succeed.
Ok! I get it, put me down now you weirdo!" Katsuka said getting flustered. Natsu shook his head no.
"Not until you say you won't attack anyone!" Natsu said to her face. Katsuka, not wanting to be seen flustered, tried to pull away his arms again before complying. Natsu finally lets go of her, She turned back at Natsu with anger and embarrassment all over her face and said "I'll destroy you!"
While all of this was happening Izuka already snuck her way back into the class. People were asking if she was ok noticing her finger injury. She told them she was going to be ok, but for the last three tests she fought through the pain. called them over to finish their last three tests which were Sit ups, Seated toe touch, and the Long distance run. As one would expect Natsu excelled at the last tests while Izuka struggled again due to the pain. After finishing them the class gathered around Awazia.
"Okay, I'll tell you all the results. The total is simply the marks you got from each test." Awazia said plainly. Most of the class was waiting in anticipation hoping they weren't last. pressed a button on a remote to show everyone the list. Yaoyorozu Todoroki
Dragneel Bakugo.. Izuka kept reading down the list with her growing more worried each time she didn't see her name. She eventually saw her name planted on the bottom of the list. She wasn't the only one who caught this however.
"What!? How did Izuka come in last place!? She did so well for the ball throwing one there's no way she should be expelled!" Natsu shouted out the teacher. Everyone turned to the teacher waiting to see his reply back.
"Oh.. I was lying about the expulsion." Awazia said as if it was class had a blank look on their faces even Natsu.
"It was a rational way to draw out the upper limits of your Quirks." Awazia added with a creepy look on his face. Most of the kids yelled surprised, while one seemed to already know it was a lie. The students seemed to be relieved by this news. And with that the teacher called class over…
IK THIS TOOK ME FOREVER TO MAKE. But this was late ep 4 to early ep 6 in the regular series. This chapter was super hard to write, I tried to make it Natsu centered but towards the end it felt like Izuka centered. Not to mention this is when some of the class was introduced. By the way I don't know if I should describe their physical appearances not because I can't/won't or that I find it weird. I don't know because I kinda want you guys to visually think of each charters' appearances, something about that feels more interesting to me but if you want to describe their physical appearance just let me know. I don't want to make this too long of an A/N so, of course let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas or for this story by leaving a review. (Also let me know if i forgot something in this chapter.)
Reviews
Guest: It's a nice idea for Kirishima, plus on the nod of erza and elfman you added make this idea even better. So I started thinking of ways this could affect the character. Not personality wise but growth wise if you know what i mean, because his character development to me was really good partly because of his relationship with Bakugo who's now Katsuki. By making him a female I thought it would make their friendship more.. interesting because in the series Kirishima was one of Bakugos 'real' friends. so adding a twist on it made it seem even more interesting to me. (Short answer yes, I think it would make Kirishima and Bakugo relationship in the story more interesting.)
Chaotic: For his max capabilities unfortunately I can't reveal that. But I will answer your other questions sorta. For if he's going to have a mode yes, if you're wondering what it will be.. you will find out soon (Dun Dun Daa). And for the hottest flame color right now it would be the crimson flame for sure.
Nalu-Opt48: Thank you very much for the support and it's nice to know you're still here.
erasenpai946: For Nemrui (Midnight), The only issue is that I don't have an Idea for her. (I know ways for her to get introduced but not Involved if you know what I mean, if you have any idea let me know.) For Nejire kinda of the same situation with Nemrui.
