So I don't know a lot about replying to people in the reviews so I'll put it here since I don't know much on ffnet.

Q: How strong is Ayaka compared to 1-A Students and Pro Heroes?

A: In terms of martial prowess, Ayaka can beat everyone in Class-1A in a fight without their Quirks. Years upon years of swordsmanship and training made her much more used to dealing with fights; she would have better reflexes, better split-second decision-making, better at observing enemies and anything related to being in a battle. I could even argue that Ayaka could stand toe to toe against or even beat Eraserhead (Shota Aizawa) since she doesn't need her Quirk to be a great swordsman. So any Hero that relies on close quarters may find her hard to overwhelm if they don't have training but since most do - then it's going to be up to their physical strengths. Ranged enemies are going to be fought with great difficulty though.

There's one huge caveat about my reasoning, this does not include her charged attack. If she was allowed to use her charged attack to slash and stab in the blink of an eye then she'd be one of the most powerful opponents without her abilities. If it takes only a second to do multiple hits at once then no one can even approach her and because of that, she can beat a lot of Pro Heroes without their Quirks, especially ones who rely on them too much.

(Break)

If abilities were considered then I'd be either a much more fair fight or downright impossible for her fellow classmates to beat her. Quirks that only add some physical alteration or do not provide much in abilities like Invisibility, Sugar Rush or Tail, to name a few, then she'd still beat them since she would just use her swordsmanship to win the same as before but now she has access to ice. I'd say her fights would be pretty easy with her Alternate Sprint, or Senho Form. Being able to sink to the ground is basically Mirio Togata's Quirk without the disadvantage of not having any senses. She'd be efficient with it too since she trained with her Vision for a large part of her teenage years.

On to the more important comparisons; if she is compared to Shoto Todoroki. I'll put it simply for now since this is getting long; if Shoto does a surprise attack and unleashes a ton of ice then Ayaka would lose, otherwise, Ayaka would win a protracted fight - since she'd just hide with her Senho Form or use her own ice to protect herself and let Shoto freeze himself. Ayaka's ice is not large-scale attacks but with training, she could push out more, Ayaka specializes in continuous use of smaller amounts of ice and efficiently uses them in a fight to not waste energy. The largest part though is if Shoto would use his fire and in that case, it would be harder for her to beat him.

In Katsuki's case, she would either tie or beat him. Hear me out; yes it was shown that Katsuki beat Shoto in the sports festival but Shoto only used his ice. Many would underestimate having a weapon in a fight, Ayaka being a master at a sword would be the tiebreaker, explosions can send her down but she could dodge with her Senho Form or send out ice like Shoto. Only one Judgement Cut and Katsuki would be crippled, take out the tendons in the heels, arms, thighs, and a lot of things can be targeted if you even have the slightest knowledge on using a weapon (Which begs the question why none of the students have a proper weapon). This doesn't even count Ayaka's ice blocking out Katsuki's ability to make large enough explosions.

Against Pro Heroes; it all depends, if no one has a proper counter like Endeavor then she would either draw or find a win. Ayaka would have a good chance against Pro Heroes, she has the aforementioned martial prowess and real combat experience from Teyvat, she has her improved Vision-Quirk, and she is already desensitized to battle. As an example, if Mt. Lady fights Ayaka, Mt. Lady would lose. If Best Jeanist fought her, Ayaka would lose albeit it's going to be harder for him to win since Ayaka has her Senho Form. If Hawks fought Ayaka then it's hard to say since other outside factors come into play to see who wins (like being in a city or a vertically prominent location) but if this were an arena then Ayaka will win based on her ice and especially her Senho Form. It basically boils down to if anyone could even attack her when she's in Senho Form or could immediately incapacitate her like Best Jeanist.

Finally, we haven't even considered her Anemo Delusion, or any other Delusion for that matter. If she used it prominently and actually practiced with it like Childe in Genshin then she would be a high-ranking hero. Everything I said about her weaknesses with fire would be gone, she would redirect flames or move out of the way quick enough with both her ice and wind. Ayaka would beat a lot of the Pro Heroes with enough practice. The addition of wind makes her boost her mobility at both horizontal and vertical speeds, making heroes like Hawks lose if she could just get close enough for her sword to cripple him.

Izuku was right in saying her intangibility is her trump card, it's her only unique skill separating other ice Quirks, that's if Ayaka's ice is even a Quirk in the first place. ;)

TLDR: Ayaka would have a high chance to win if no Quirks were allowed. If there were Quirks; her ice, especially her Senho Form, can beat a majority of the opponents she faces or they would have a fair fight. Pro Heroes would be possible to beat unless they have a direct counter or they're more experienced in battle, Ayaka holds real combat experience so it balances out. If Ayaka used her Delusion and created a technique like Childe's Foul Legacy in Genshin then she would be a top contender for top 1 without a doubt. Though that's if she could handle the drawbacks of using a Delusion and if she could learn it from scratch, unlike Childe who learned it in the Abyss. At this point she would easily dispatch most Pro Heroes unless it's a game-ending Quirk like Brainwashing, OFA and AFO, or New Order, to name what I know.

Anyways sorry for the very long answer, let me know if you have more questions. I can change my opinion on her potency as a Hero if you bring up a good point.


Ochaco was concerned at her teacher's words. "How can you expel us? It's only our first day! Even if it's not our first day, it's unfair."

Shota explains further. "Natural disasters, enormous accidents, and selfish Villains; we never know when or where they'll come. Japan is filled with unfairness. Heroes overturn those dire situations. If you wanted to have fun with friends, too bad. U.A. will continue to give you obstacles within these three years."

Shota glances over each student. "Over and beyond, Plus Ultra. Come with all you've got."

'So, it's trial by fire. If one cannot hold their own - then one must make way for the others who do. Harsh but there is truth to what Mr. Aizawa says.' Ayaka muses.

Shota looks over to Ayaka and signals her to go back with the group. "That's the end of our demonstration. The real deal starts now."

They start heading for the first test, the 50-meter dash. Ayaka looked toward Izuku who was shaking and looking at his hand. Gripping it tightly as if he already damaged it.

Izuku had already told Ayaka about the massive drawback he has done to himself when he tried to use One-For-All. Ayaka knew what it meant, if Izuku was going to learn to use OFA properly then it would take more time.

Ayaka got closer to whispering distance as she spoke softly. "You're worried about the test right?"

Izuku nodded, not even talking back from the pressure of trying to pass.

'He looks so stressed, he believes he'd get expelled. Should I tell him it's not true? No - he wouldn't like that. He needs to push himself as Mr. Aizawa recommended.'

"Hey, Midoriya. If you're worried about destroying your body keep in mind that there's more than one way you could use your Quirk. I'm going to admit that I had a bit of trouble finding out a possible use for my Quirk in the ball throw. I'm surprised Mr. Aizawa allowed it. Just think of more ways to use your ability."

Izuku didn't budge from being nervous. "But how? The only thing I know about my Quirk is that it feels like an egg in a microwave."

Ayaka paused before letting out a slight chuckle. "While I can see how that analogy works, I believe looking at things from another angle would suffice. I wouldn't be much help in that sadly, our Quirks work way too different for my experience to aid you."

"Hmm… how do you usually use yours Ayaka? Didn't you tell me you feel heat from your back?"

"That's correct - I wanted to create larger ice and you taught me to help spread out the feeling of heat. It's something I'm grateful for. I guess I thought the feeling of heat on my back was the only possible way to push out more ice back then."

Izuku went into his mind palace. "Hmm, wouldn't the egg still experience the microwave all around it? Maybe if I toned down the microwave… no what am I thinking that takes practice. What if I imagine a smaller microwave? Gah! I don't get it, maybe I should use something better than the egg in a microwave thing."

"Midoriya, you're muttering again. Even Iida is looking worried about you talking about your egg in a microwave."

Izuku looked around to see students looking at him before they all turned away. Izuku rubbed the back of his head as Iida adjusted his glasses, Izuku could sense the disapproval.

"I already forgot I told Iida I was aware I was bothering people, I'm so ashamed."

"Well, if you're still not confident that you would pass then do your best - Mr. Aizawa might see beyond the damage you cause to yourself. Take care, Midoriya."


The tests begin…

50-Meter Dash

Ayaka stretched as she prepared for her dash, gazing at the other students who were doing the same. She stops her sight on the half and half-person earlier this morning staring at her as well.

'Odd, has he been glaring at me the whole time? I wonder what he wants.'

"Ahem," Shota calls everyone's attention. "You'll be doing these in pairs, I don't care how you organize yourselves just do it quickly."

Ayaka stared at the others, each one raring to go. Tenya approaches the front with a rigid and robotic movement. "Everyone! I will be the first to volunteer!"

Tsuyu raises her hand. "I can join you, Iida - Kero."

Shota lazily stood upright with his back slackened. "Great, get a move on. The robot will get your speed, I'll set your results."

The two approached the starting line and went into a runner's stance.

The robot starts to operate. "On your mark… get set…"

*BANG!*

What came was the unmistakable noise of an engine running as Tenya reaches the end line at an amazing speed. The tubes on his calves burst into action as a puff of exhaust escapes as he finishes at the end.

"3.04 seconds."

Everyone in the class gets amazed at the speed. His Quirk, Engine is a simple change in his calves where he gets tubes that act as an engine.

"He's like a fish in water. Let's see how the others do." Shota comments.

Tsuyu hops with her enhanced jumping, forgoing running altogether and focusing on the spring action of her powerful legs.

"5.58 seconds."

Ayaka got what she needed to do so she raises her hand to go next. "I'll be next if you all don't mind."

Katuski snaps a look before clicking his tongue and staring at Izuku instead.

"I'll have a turn." Someone else said.

Ayaka finds the voice who spoke. It was that boy with his right and left sides separated. Red hair dominated his left while white hair decorated his right. He had a visible scar on his left side, contrasting his turquoise eye. While his grey right eye painted a dull look.

"You're one of the recommendation students right? Let's have a good result." Ayaka offers a handshake, a sign of goodwill.

"I'm not here to talk." he heads directly for the starting line.

'Another troubling individual but we'll be classmates. I hope I can get through to him same as Bakugo. It's more of what I could do to help Izuku while in U.A. just as I promised to All Might.'

"That's okay with me, I hope we will soon get along." Ayaka stared at the starting line in front. "Eventually." She muttered silently.

He stayed silent as Ayaka crouched low as a starting position. Both raring to go as frost started to form beneath each of their feet. With only the right side of Shoto being able to produce frost.

"On your mark… get set…"

*BANG!*

The crackle of ice filled the air, and more so was the temperature change from both Ayaka and Shoto reaching the finish line as fast as they could.

The track gets completely covered in a sheet of ice, like a lake in winter. Their harsh edges fanned out behind them as their classmates look with awe at what they could do.

Ayaka used both her feet in a well-controlled and precise manner, using her ice to push herself forward. Shoto expertly surfs with only one of his feet, using a burst of increasing mass of ice.

"4.67 seconds."

"4.78 seconds."

Ayaka stared at her close tie with Shoto, with only a few millisecond differences in their speeds. She could be faster if she burst out as much ice, like when she froze the zero pointer.

"Sir Aizawa?" Ayaka asks.

"What is it?"

"Can we redo?"

The teacher looks at both Ayaka and Shoto and sighed. "Tell me your reasoning, I don't want to give you a second chance if you ask for a mediocre excuse."

Ayaka announces for her classmates to hear. "I believe my result may seem unsatisfactory."

"Unsatisfactory? Kamisato, the average is around 7 seconds. What makes you think it's not good enough?" Ochaco asks.

"As Sir Aizawa told the class, the world has unknowns that Hero's rise to the occasion. I believe that doing beyond what we can do is a great message. For that, I think Todoroki would appreciate it better if I were to offer more of a challenge."

"Fine - On one condition, you will get expelled if you have a lower score than Todoroki." Shota approaches Ayaka with his usual tired nature, leaving behind the class with audible disapproval. He goes within a few inches before bending down to whisper. "…and if you think it's a ruse. It's not."

Ayaka stayed calm as she watch her teacher walk back to the class while ignoring the clamor of protest from the other students. 'I'll be sure to give it my all.'

Both Ayaka and Shoto prepare their stances at the start line once more while her classmates nearby waited with bated breaths.

"Why'd you do it?" Shoto asked in a monotone voice.

"Hmm?" she turned to lock eyes with him.

"Do you really want to beat me that much?"

"No, I do really want to offer you a better challenge, I feel like being an obstacle to overcome is better than accepting that result. If U.A. is supposed to train us, better to begin early. Right?"

Shoto grunts as the robot began to count down.

'I did say I would give my all. Let my ice be as expansive as the artic itself - lay cold for the only true constant of the ever-coming frost.'

"On your mark… get set…"

*BA-!*

Her focus was as sharp as it could be. She felt the ice beneath her erupt as both her feet expelled as much ice as possible to pressure herself going forward.

The moment she heard the first few milliseconds of the starter gun ringing out she ignored all precautions and used her entire strength to focus on pouring as much ice into her soles.

Shoto did the same thing, his body already frigid from the lasting cold still present from earlier, only removed by his heat melting it away just a moment ago.

His right foot could only bear so much but he still pushed harder when he saw he was getting outpaced. 'Should I use his fire? No - I can beat her with only my ice. I need to push out more!' For only but a split second, he could see Ayaka overtaking him in ice, what he felt was excitement.

Unlike before his ice didn't restrain itself, he removed his limits as the ice beneath him grew to exponentially to the size of the entire track behind him.

"I-I-Isn't this a bi-bi-bit too much for a-a-a-n assessment?" Ochaco asked the others, the chill already affecting her speech. They all nodded in approval, winter had descended way too early for Class-1A.

Two giant icebergs the size of an entire building were left from the tracks. Surprising many and scaring others. Katsuki looked at Shoto with a scrutinizing look as he grits his teeth. 'Strong... How?! How can anyone even do the same thing as her!? Damn Half and Half bastard!'

"3.97 seconds."

"4.10 seconds."

Ayaka looked at the result with a satisfied nod. She had beaten Shoto by only a few milliseconds, Ayaka didn't even need to use her Delusion, she just needed to pursue a more aggressive form of ice.

'That's a better result I should get back to-'

As soon as she thought of standing up her legs gave way as her energy deopped to levels she felt from the zero pointer. She collapsed to the ground with a splitting headache, as if a nail was driven to her head.

"Haaa... at least I stayed conscious this time..." she said out loud.

Shota Aizawa approaches with his still bored face. "So, you took my threat of expulsion seriously this time. Can you still finish the other tests?"

"I'm still able to walk, can't I? A little push never hurt anyone, Mr. Aizawa. I think I did fine to not get expelled."

Shota looked at her determined face and a small frown formed, not visible to anyone other than feeling the frown himself. 'Why do I always have to deal with problem children? Todoroki didn't even use his flames and Kamisato... I have to ask Yagi about this.'

"Right, Todoroki if you don't mind." He gestures to the massive icebergs on the track. He hears no response. "Todoroki?"

Shoto snaps out from staring. "Yes." he then proceeded to place his left hand on the icebergs and started melting them with his left side, all the while staring at Ayaka. 'She... beat me. I won't lose again, Kamisato. I'll remember that name.'


Grip Strength

"43.7 kg? That's high for us Kamisato. Look, I can only do about 38 kg."

"I know Uraraka, it just feels low when the others can do much better. Especially Yaoyozoru."

They both look at the person in question using a machine she made on the spot to almost crush the apparatus used for the grip strength test.

"Hehe... Yaoyozoru's Quirk is just that versatile. No need to beat yourself about it! It's not like your ice is always going to be useful in almost every situation."

"If I cannot accomplish an impressive score at an assessment then how would it reflect on my abilities as a Hero? It is what I fear, Uraraka. My ice not being enough."

"That's why you have friends like us, Kamisato. We'll cover what you can't tackle."

"Friends?" Ayaka hesitantly asks.

"Yes, friends!"

"...Friends... Alright, Friends."


Standing Long Jump

Ayaka crouched low, feeling the ice forming beneath her feet as she prepared to jump. She keeps her form before leaping and feeling the ice below pushing her a distance away beyond the sand.

She stood up and dusted her clothes off before heading for the quickly forming clique of Class-1A girls.

"That was impressive, Kamisato." Momo complimented.

"It's not that much really, if Aizawa allowed me to use my ice all the way through I could've reached further."

Ayaka looked at Izuku next, who was thinking about using his Quirk before not doing so and jumping right into the sand.

'I believe in you, Midoriya. If only I could help him.'


Repeated Side Steps

Ayaka sat on the bench after a minute of doing side steps. She'd noticed both Katsuki and Shoto staring at the other students intently. Especially Katsuki who was staring more at Izuku than normal.

She looked to see Izuku doing normal side steps averaging out to 39 after he was finished.

Ayaka left her seat and approached Izuku while remembering to speak in a low tone. "Midoriya? You haven't used your power yet?"

"I just can't quite get confident that I'm going to use it without damaging myself. The egg keeps exploding in my mind. I'm not sure I can use the microwave well."

"Well if you can't avoid damaging yourself, then maybe limit what parts are damaged? It's not like you have to be the whole egg."

"...That's right!" Izuku screamed out.

Everyone stared at the green-haired boy who screamed full force enough to draw everyone's attention.

"Midoriya, keep your voice down. Bakugo is already staring at you even harder."

"Gah! ...sorry" he squeaked out.

'I really hope Midoriya can figure out his Quirk. He's not done a test with OFA yet.'


Ball Throw

Everyone in the class does their throws, some being more creative than others. Ayaka observed these other talented individuals, noting how they used their Quirks. The notable ones are Tenya using his legs to kick the ball which was allowed, a person with tape dispensers for elbows doing a hammer throw instead of a pitch, Tsuyu doing the same thing, and a shy boy making birds carry the ball far away.

"Since Kamisato here has already done this as a demonstration we can move on to our last three. Todoroki you're up."

Shoto grasped the ball in his hands, tightening his gaze over the distance beyond the circle. His right side went into action, mimicking Ayaka's strategy of using a bridge in the sky.

Down below the other students murmured on the taller height of Shoto's pillar. Comparing it to Ayaka's - it was a good 30 m taller than hers. 'So Todoroki is going to do the same trick as mine.'

Shoto lengthens his ice bridge in the same manner as Ayaka's, the difference being it was longer by a bit before tapering off the end.

He prepares for a low throw, he releases the ball with a low pitch as it slides on the path Todoroki's ice created. It slid for half a minute before reaching the end and plummeting to the earth.

The results shocked everyone.

"183.6 meters!" Shota Aizawa announced from below, loud enough to reach Shoto's ears.

'What? I'm sure I replicated Kamisato's strategy to the detail. How is it possible for my distance to be worse?' He eyed Ayaka suspiciously. 'What are you hiding from me?'

Back to the bottom, everyone was curious as to the discrepancies between Ayaka's score and Todoroki's. Momo was the first to point it out.

"That's an unexpected score. I would've thought Kamisato's score would be beaten. The height and distance should've made a difference."

"Yeah! Did you do something to it when it was your turn Kamisato?" Mina asked.

Ayaka made up an excuse on the spot. "Secret."

A round of playful nudges comes, especially from Mina who was curious how Ayaka actually did the further distance. There were only three in the class that seriously wanted to know how she got that distance; Katsuki, Shoto, and Izuku.

"Everyone keep your chatter to yourselves. Bakugo it's your turn, throw the ball as hard as you can."

"Hmph… Watch me."

Katsuki walks to the now cleared circle, stretching his arms as he winds his arm back and raises his leg for a pitch. "DIE!"

*BOOM!*

The resounding crack of the air echoes out, the sound of an explosion ripping through the surroundings as the ball gets rocketed toward the sky. Motivated more than ever Katsuki made sure to put every ounce of anger into his throw.

"705.2 meters." The display shows.

"So far! - but still goes 2nd to Uraraka here, maybe you should've put more oomph to it." Mina said. Of course, Katsuki being Katsuki - he loses it.

"Haaaa?! I did way better than all of you! Got that, Raccoon eyes?! I don't see you throwing it any further than me!" Katsuki screamed back.

"Calm down and stand back with the others, Bakugo. I won't warn you again so keep your aggression down. Next, you're up Midoriya."

"Yes, sir!" Izuku answers.

His confident response elicits a glare from Katsuki and a proud smile from Ayaka. 'Seems like he has something in mind. He didn't have this confidence from before.'

"Here, throw it as hard as you can." Shota looked at the boy brimming with confidence, one he had only seen at this moment. 'Hmmm, let's see if that smile of yours will keep you from breaking. I'll stop him if he ever uses his Quirk and gets crippled.'

Izuku stood with his foot forward, he arches his hand backward as he says a mantra to himself. 'Ayaka is right, I don't need to master not breaking myself right now. I'll train hard but for now - I'll do what I can! I'll feel the pain but I won't break down!'

Energy pulsed in his index finger as he swung his arm forwards, his teeth clenched and prepared for the backlash from his Quirk. He feels the ball leave his palms and with a push from his empowered finger he unleashes an air-piercing rush of speed.

'Smash!'

*BOOM!*

Dust kicks up from the wind pressure and the crack of the sound barrier could be heard. Everyone looked on with awe as the ball traveled up into the air with a visible trail of air rushing around it.

The ball leaves sight of everyone and lands far away from the origin, landing right on the marker as Shota's display showed the results.

Shota looks at Izuku holding onto his swelling finger with a defiant look on his face. 'This kid…'

"705.3 meters."

Ayaka was proud. Looking at the result of Izuku, he finally figured out what to do for his test. Not being able to control his output, Ayaka's advice made him realize he won't improve very soon but he could limit what he already had.

Katsuki was not impressed at all - he was something more akin to being in disbelief. 'What was that?! Impossible! How the hell did Deku of all people get a Quirk?! …What did Deku mean by what he said to me!'

Karsuki blew crackles on his palms as he charges in toward Izuku. "Hey! Tell me what's going on Deku!"

"Gah!"

*THWIP!*

Katsuki was ensnared in a tough hold, a long length of cloth held him from charging in. "What the hell is this cloth? It's tough…"

"It's a capture weapon made with special alloy wires and carbon fiber. Jeez… I even warned you a while ago. I don't want to use my Quirk for meaningless things. Stand down, Bakugo."

Izuku finally realized who Shota was. "Those goggles! The Erasure Hero; Eraserhead! The hero that erases Quirks within eyesight!"

"If you understand that then move on. We're wasting time let's head to the track."

Everyone follows their teacher's orders, not wanting to incur his wrath. Ayaka follows the group with Izuku who was looking back at Katsuki mulling over something while a look of scorn forms on his face.

'This must be heavy for Bakugo.' Ayaka thought. She'd already somewhat get what Izuku and Katsuki's relationship was. From experiences told by Izuku and observation, Ayaka knew what he was going through. She was used to looking for problems in other people, it was her duty back in Inazuma after all. 'It's going to take time for him to accept him not being the definite top anymore. I hope it doesn't get too far.'


Distance Run

Ayaka ran for 12 minutes, along with the others in a circle. Timed on how much distance they could cover, Ayaka was among the many who could cover a lot of distance. Especially since her specialty is the continuous use of ice, she glided along the track with a smaller trail of ice along her path.

She stopped as she walked toward the display with her score present. 6,978.8 meters was an impressive score, then again, it was dwarfed by Tenya who could go in higher gears while pacing himself.

"13,587.3 meters, amazing." She turns to Tenya who was resting. "Iida, your score is quite impressive. How do you not burn out while running?"

"Oh! Thank you for the compliment, Kamisato. My engines do most of the work, I just make sure to not overdo it and stall. It really is an easy feat for me, although Yaoyozoru makes it even easier by making an electric scooter. Her Quirk is very useful for any situation, such should a perfect Hero be! You yourself aren't bad, why is it that you can't handle more ice? I already heard of your feat from rumors but I would like to know."

"Well, it's fair if I tell you about my abilities. I can produce ice from anywhere on my body, and creating a continuous stream of ice doesn't have any adverse effects on me. A good comparison is using a hose; If I output a normal stream there would be no problem but if I try pumping out more than what the hose can handle it wouldn't hold. - which is why I get tired or collapse. I can also become ice but it's slower to travel with."

"Mhmm, that makes sense. I'm glad someone like you is part of the Hero Course, you really look into your Quirk well."

"It's not that much, if you want better breakdowns of Quirks talk to Midoriya instead. He has these notebooks full of observations and tips, Midoriya has pages for me and everyone else here by now. He's just that interested in Quirks in general."

"Really? …Amazing! It seems I underestimated him a lot!"

Ayaka looked at her classmates already done with their own laps. "Looks like everyone else is done, let's head to the next test."

"Of course."


Seated Toe-Touch

"Wow! Kamisato, you're so flexible. I can barely reach mine! What's your secret, not gonna tell it again like last time~?"

"It's just years of training, Mina. You'll get there eventually, we all are working to be Heroes in here for the next 3 years."

"When did you start training anyways? I can't see anyone spending their childhoods just training - Kero."

Ayaka answered. "Tutors mainly dominated my education, Tsu. It's enjoyable once you get past the learning curve at the beginning."

"So you had tutors as well, I agree especially once you get through the more difficult start. We have a lot in common, Kamisato." Momo mentioned.

"We very well may do, Yaoyozoru. What's the last test we're going to do before we start the other classes?"

"Sit-ups, I believe. Will you all help me with that?"

Ayaka looked unsure as she replied. "We're glad to. We are all… friends… right?"

"Of course, I'm happy to see someone like you be my friend," Momo answered.

Ayaka was ecstatic on the inside. More friends for her meant she was achieving something she never would've imagined before. "Then let's head to it. Sir Aizawa won't like it if we're still not done by now."


Sit Ups

"60…" Ayaka blurted out as she lays on the floor with Mina grabbing onto her legs.

"Are you sure you're fine helping me with this, Ashido? 61…"

Mina nods with her ever-present easy-going smile. "Yep! Everyone here are good people." She notices Katsuki aggressively telling Eijiro to help him. "Well, almost everyone. Gosh, even Kirishima is getting caught up with him. I wonder if he'll be okay."

"You know Kirishima?"

"Yeah! Do you know that he changed his hair color the moment he finished the exam? It was getting late too before I saw him. He really has changed ever since."

"So you're close together since middle school? I met him with red hair after the exam talking about how manly I was. I'm not sure how to take his compliments."

"Oh! He does that, he has his ideals to thank for that. I was amazed when we both passed and came to the same class, it really makes it cool to know that he's going to be a Hero like he dreamt."

"That's amazing of him, I feel proud just from hearing about it."

"You betcha!"

Ayaka then realized she was laying on the ground after her 61st sit-up, forgetting there was a 60-second timer for the number of sit-ups in the test. "I forgot to take count."

"I'm sorry! I distracted you didn't I?" Mina apologized.

"It's fine I'll just do it again if you don't mind Ashido."

Mina nodded as she watched Ayaka redo her test, seemingly unperturbed by restarting her sit-ups.


The tests were finally done, everyone was tired from the work but they persevered. Everyone was gathered in a single spot with Shota in front.

"Let's quickly announce the results. I simply summed up each test's score. Since it's a waste of time explaining, I'll show you all."

With the click of a button, the device Shota was holding presented the table of rankings with each of the students ordered by their performance.

2. Ayaka Kamisato

3. Shoto Todoroki

4. Katsuki Bakugo

5. Tenya Iida

(I'm ranking Shoto under Ayaka since I believe Aizawa would see her ball throw as a good use of her abilities. Plus both their Quirks are very similar, with the only difference being Ayaka can't feel the cold while Shoto can push ice faster - opposite to Ayaka that can sustain her ice longer.)

(I realize how bad the actual results are. I mean the girl with just invisibility won out against Izuku? The dude is trained and could probably do above average, how the heck did she win when I couldn't find any of the tests that she could possibly get a better score than Izuku? I am aware that it could be Quirk's use in conjunction with physical tests but I don't think invisibility could be used for any of the tests. I think Aizawa is just trolling Izuku specifically. Correct me if I'm wrong.)

"No…" Izuku lowered his head and tears started to come out. He was disappointed in himself. 'All Might… Kamisato… even when you both helped me and gave me everything I didn't even ask for, I still failed… I'm so sorry everyone!'

"The expelling part is a lie."

"-Eh?"

"It was a logical lie to make you use your Quirks fully."

"HAAAAAAAAAAAA?" A large part of the students cried out.

Some of the students visibly relaxed from the test, others like Momo told the others it was obvious. Some of the students didn't even notice.

"We're done. The curriculum is in the classroom, so take a look at it. Midoriya, get fixed at granny's nurse's office. Our training tomorrow will be even harder. Be prepared."

Izuku relaxed as well, finally realizing he wasn't going to get expelled. Before Shota left he got Ayaka's attention by calling out to her.

"Kamisato, we have something to discuss. Follow me, don't be slow."

Ayaka was surprised but went toward Shota anyways. She says a short goodbye to Izuku. "I'll be with you back at the classroom, Midoriya. Take care." they wave each other farewell before Ayaka followed Shota.


Ayaka walked behind Shota, following closely as they went around the wall. "Aizawa you little liar."

"All Might? You were watching us?" Ayaka asked.

"What were you doing All Might? You must be bored if you were way out here. Unless of course, it's about your daughter."

"Ah! Not so loud!"

All Might couldn't keep it from the teachers. He already told them about his condition so the Principal insisted that Ayaka's new status as All Might's illegitimate daughter needed to be common knowledge to the staff. Though the more secretive parts, like knowledge of Ayaka not actually being Japanese, were kept to only All Might, Nezu, and Naomasa.

"You're the one who's screaming about it. There's a reason why I brought her here. Kamisato, when I watched you throw that ball I noticed something."

Ayaka stayed still, not showing panic but inside she was nervous. 'I didn't hide it well enough didn't I?'

"You might need to update your Quirk registry. I noticed earlier that your Quirk might not just be ice production but something more akin to a blizzard. All Might could help you in that regard."

Ayaka relaxed. 'So it wasn't about my wind. That's lucky of me.'

All Might looked at his watch and almost barfed out blood. "Right! Shoot, I need to prepare my notes for my class later on. I need to go, good luck with the classes, Kamisato. Errrrr… my daughter? Anyways bye!"

All Might ran with a speed no one could comprehend with his suit seemingly not tearing under all that pressure.

"If that is all Sir Aizawa, I will head back now. Thank you for the lesson." Ayaka turned away from the conversation and started walking back.

"Hold on. I kept it from All Might because you might not like it when I reveal it in front of your… dad. Honestly, it's still weird to me All Might have gotten someone pregnant but in any case - I know you have two Quirks Kamisato."

"I don't know what you're talking about-"

"Don't play me for being naive. I am a teacher - I look for Quirks all the time, it's part of the job description. What I saw was not your ice, I could barely see it but you definitely swirled wind on your arm before you threw."

Ayaka started to be rigid as she couldn't utter a word. She was discovered to have a Delusion, or more accurately the powers of one.

Granted, it was a relief Shota didn't know any better than her Anemo being a Quirk but still, Ayaka was disappointed and worried. Ayaka felt like she was getting lectured for getting caught in the act.

"I'm not mad if that's what you're thinking. If you have any reason for hiding your wind then I respect your wishes since you still use your ice proficiently - but like Todoroki with his fire, remember that in the future you'll be saving people. If you refuse to train with your wind now, just imagine the consequences. That is all."

Aizawa started walking away from surprised Ayaka, still stuck in her thoughts. 'Hmm… why do I have to deal with so many problem children? At least they all have something in them that could still be redeemable.'
