Another revamp!
As always I don't own anything except Haru.
Enjoy!
[Spring]
Haru looked around in ah for a moment before taking a seat in the front row, she could feel her excitement growing as her new classmates entered the room one by one.
'Class 1-A. I can't believe it.' She thought happily to herself as she introduced herself to her different classmates. That is until a familiar blonde walked in.
"Tsk. They're letting trash in now."
He muttered looking at her as she scoffed.
"The standards for U.A. must have really fallen to let someone with a clear attitude problem in."
The blonde walked over and put his hands on her desk, Haru looked up in boredom.
"Step down blondie, I'm not getting kicked out on day one because of you."
The blonde growled and moved to hit Haru but was blocked by Haru grabbing his wrist and making her hand heat up. She wouldn't admit it, but the fact that he lasted longer under the extreme heat from her quirk was a little impressive, but eventually he pulled his hand away and walked off to prop his feet up on a desk causing the tall boy with glasses, who had introduced himself to Haru as Ida Tenya, started yelling at the blonde that putting his feet on the desk was disrespectful to the school. Glancing at the door Haru spotted Midoriya, who looked a little scared to enter since the two students that clearly didn't like him were arguing. Shaking her head she watched as the brunette girl that Midoriya had been trying to save, ended up saving Midoriya and herself walking in and started talking excitedly with Midoriya. After a few minutes a yellow sleeping bag appeared in the doorway and slowly a teacher with shaggy black hair emerged.
'Of course we would get Eraserhead. This isn't going to be easy.'
Haru found herself sitting up a little straighter knowing full well Eraserhead was going to be watching her closely and reporting back to Toshinori.
"It took eight seconds for you to quiet down. Time is a precious resource. You lot aren't very rational, are you? I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Pleased to meet you."
Aizawa put his sleeping bag away and pulled out the U.A. gym uniform.
"Quickly now. Change into your gym clothes and head out to the grounds."
Haru gathered with her classmates, changed and ready to show off her quirk.
"A test...of our quirks?!"
Her classmates exclaimed in shock after Aizawa explained that's what they were doing.
"What about the entrance ceremony? Or guidance sessions?"
The brunette that Midoria seemed to have developed a crush on asked to which Aizawa quickly responded.
"No time to waste on that stuff if you want to be heroes. U.A. is known for its "freestyle" educational system. That applies to us teachers as well. Softball throwing, the standing long jump, the 50 meter dash, endurance running, grip strength, side to side stepping, upper body training, seated toe touch. You did all these in middle school, yes? Your standard no-quirks-allowed gym tests. This country still insists on prohibiting quirks when calculating the averages of those records. It's not rational. The department of education is just procrastinating."
Aizawa focused on blondie.
"Bakugou. How far could you throw in middle school?"
Haru smirked to herself.
'So, his name is Bakugou, huh?'
"Sixty-seven meters."
Aizawa tossed him a ball and instructed him to stand in the center of the field.
"Great, now try it with your quirk. Do whatever you need to. Just don't leave the circle. Give it all you got."
Bakugou stretched his shoulder for a moment before muttering "Awesome". Leaning back, Bakugou yelled "Die" as he threw the ball using his quirk to create a little explosion. Hearing a beeping everyone looked over to see Aizawa holding a little monitor that read 705.2.
"It's important for us to know our limits. That's the first rational step to figuring out what kind of heroes you'll be."
Everyone became excited about the prospect of actually being able to use their quirks.
"Awesome...You say? You're hoping to become heroes after three years here...and you think it'll all be fun and games? Right. The one with the lowest score across all eight events will be judged hopeless and will be expelled."
Haru nodded as everyone freaked out for a second.
Aizawa pushed his hair out of his eyes.
"Your fates are in our hands. Welcome. This is the hero course at U.A. high!"
The brunette spoke up in protest.
"It's only the first day! I mean, even if it weren't that's totally unfair!"
Aizawa didn't miss a beat in his response.
"Natural disasters...Highway pileups...Rampaging villains...Calamity is always right around the corner. I'd say Japan is full of unfair things. Heroes are the ones who correct all the unfairness. If you were hoping to spend your evenings hanging out at mcdonald's...I'm sorry to tell you...that for the next three years...U.A. will run you through the wringer. That's plus ultra. Use your strength to overcome it all. So bring it. The demonstration is over. Now it's for real."
[50 Meter Dash]
Haru sighed as she lined up next to Bakugou with Midoriya on the other side of Bakugou.
"You don't stand a chance extra."
Haru smirked, focusing her quirk on her legs.
"I don't think you're ready for this blondie."
At the buzzer Bakugou made an explosion from his arms at the same time Haru forced as much as her energy into her legs as she could to purpell her forward crossing the finish line right behind Bakugou.
"4.13 seconds! 4.20 seconds!"
Haru bounced on her feet to make sure she was going to be ok in the other events.
"Nice try extra."
Haru scoffed while sizing Bakugou up.
"Still have 7 more events blondie. Watch your back."
With each passing event Haru only surpassed Bakugou in the side stepping event.
Eventually it was Haru's turn for the softball throw, after the brunette, who Haru found out was named Ochaco, had beaten everyone by making the ball weigh nothing and received an infinity score.
"Go Haru!"
Ochaco cheered from the sideline as Haru took her position and tried to focus on what she wanted to do. After a full morning of using her quirk she was quickly losing her energy. Taking a calming breath she focused what was left of her quirk into her right arm and forced a giant ball of fire to shoot out as she threw the ball with all of her strength. Turning she looked at Aizawa who showed her her score 705.0. She blinked at him before grinning and walking over to stand with her classmates, who were staring at her in shock. Sitting down Haru put her head between her down as the world started to spin a little.
"Haru? Are you ok?"
Ochaco asked as she knelt next to her classmate in concern.
"I'm fine."
Haru mumbled as she waited for the world to stop spinning before standing up to see Midoriya had thrown the ball 705.3 meters.
"Wow, he really did it."
Haru mumbled before hearing Bakugou scream "Explain yourself Deku!" Before rushing at him trying to start a fight only for Aizawa to stop him with his Erasing quirk and using the cloth he usually had around his neck to hold Bakugou in place while he told him to knock it off and for everyone to get ready for the next event.
The last few events were difficult for Haru, she had reached her limit and was grateful when it was all over and she could relax as she stood with her classmates waiting for Aizawa to read the final scores.
"Your final scores simply reflect your performance in each of the events. Explaining the process would be a waste of time, so all you get are the final rankings. Also, I was lying about expelling someone."
Haru sighed in relief
"That was a rational deception meant to bring out the best in all of you."
Aizawa turned and started walking off.
"Anyway. We're done here. Your documents about the curriculum and such are back in the classroom. Give them a look."
Haru walked back to the classroom with a small pep in her step, she was ranked number 5 in her class.
What do we think?
Leave a review and I'll see you all next time!
