After observing the rest of her classmates, Weiss finally managed to figure out who was competent, or had the potential to become so. Mina and Kyouka were among them of course. The pink girl managed to beat the femine blond boy in the race, and she was also flexible enough for the other test due to her background as a dancer. Her physical strength and lack of an aura meant she wouldn't perform as well during the grip and softball throw test of course. Kyouka wasn't as physically fit as Mina, but she performed as well as she could, which was passable in Weiss' opinion. They would make fine heroes in the future.
Half-white and red-haired boy's ice quirk seemed rather strong, though Weiss did wonder if he was able to control fire due to the coloring of his hair. The ice did form on the side with his white hair after all. 'Momo' and Glasses were quite competent, with 'Momo' being able to create support devices depending on the exam she took. Iida, also known as Glasses, was easily the most serious of her classmates, which was evident by how he held himself when completing his tests. The large boy with multiple arms also seemed competent, with how his quirk was able to change the ends of his arms. He would be perfect for search and rescue.
Huntsman and huntresses didn't just fight the Creatures of Grimm and wandering bandits, but must sometimes embark on missions to rescue survivors from villages that were beyond saving or defending. The same went for the heroes of this world. With the reign of All Might as the World Symbol of Peace, villain attacks had grown increasingly rare, aside from the occasional attack from someone with no self control. That meant that the smarter criminals had to flee underground, and would be entrenched in whatever stronghold they had, either physically, socially, or economically.
Weiss crossed her arms over her chest as she stood near the front of the slightly spread out crowd of classmates. 'Momo' was next to her, with her two friends in the middle of the crowd with their new friends. Mr. Aizawa still seemed rather bored as his eyes drifted over them casually.
"The rankings are based on your total points, added from each test. It would be a waste of time explaining or reading the results out loud so I'll just show you."
Suddenly, he pressed a button on the control in his hand, and a holographic projection next to him came to life.
First place: Weiss Schnee
Second place: Yaororozu Momo
Third Place: Todoroki Shoto
The list continued onwards, with the students' names next to their rankings and points. Well, time to see if Weiss called Mr. Aizawa's bluff about expelling someone.
"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion." Mr. Aizawa ended the projection. He started grinning sadistically. "It was a logical deception to force each of you to use your quirk to the max." He gave Weiss a slight glare.
"WHAT?!"A good collective measure of the class shouted. Thankfully, Mina and Kyouka weren't among their number. Her friends were smarter than that.
The now identifiable Yaoyorozu sighed as she looked at the Green boy and Brown girl, who froze.
"Of course that was a lie." She said a bit disappointed. Weiss was too, considering that it was pretty obvious.
"Anyone with a brain should have been able to see through it." Weiss added, which seemed to have caused the two to shrivel up a bit.
"You could have phrased that a bit nicely, but you are correct." Iida said as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He was standing next to Green and Brown. She would have to learn their names later.
"With that, we're done here. There are handouts with the curriculum and stuff back in the classroom, so look over them when you get back." Mr. Aizawa said boredly, motioning the class to start walking with the lazy wave of his hand.
Nodding stiffy, Weiss was starting to follow the rest of her class when she heard him say something.
"Schnee, stay here for a few seconds." Mr. Aizawa remained where he stood, his bored glare focused on the pop singer. Pausing, Weiss walked back to her new teacher and stood in front of him, her back held straight. Hm, was he a fan was going to ask for an autograph-
"I will expel you the next time you hold back."
"What?" Weiss' eyes wanted to widen, but she kept her face neutral. Don't ever let those she didn't trust to see what was behind her mask.
"You held back during the physical and just now." Mr. Aizawa said gruffly, his bored glare now serious. "Do that again and I won't hesitate to kick you from my class, celebrity or not."
Weiss did however, narrow her eyes.
"This test was to push each and every one of you past your limits. If you're not taking this seriously, then you're not fit to be in the Hero course."
"With all due respect sir, I believe you haven't read my essay for the entrance exam." Weiss replied evenly. "Going past one's limit is fine and all when learning, but self control is just as important a skill to learn. Using just enough strength to win can and will reduce collateral damage." Plus it can allow Weiss to be prepared for the next fight, conserving her strength.
Mr. Aizawa's hard face didn't reveal any emotions. "You are here to learn to break past your limits. Self control can be taught later." He started walking away. Weiss glared at her homeroom teacher, who paused mid step and turned his head slightly.
"Otherwise you're going to end up dead in some alleyway somewhere."
"Come in." Shota said with a sigh. Wrapped in a fine blanket, his tired eyes eyed the door that started to open slightly. Instead of preparing his classroom for the upcoming semester, he decided to take a nap in the janitors closet. It was a nice nap until someone decided to knock on the door.
A familiar muzzle popped through the door, their bright intelligent eyes beaming as they made contact with Shota's own tired ones.
"Hello Eraserhead! I knew I would find you here." Principal Nezu, the dog-mouse-bear head of UA. He gave Aizawa his signature grin.
"Mr. Principal. Is there a reason why you're looking for me?" Better to get straight to the point so he could go back to sleep.
"Yes! I just wanted to say that I think we're going to have quite the interesting school year. After all, you have Endeavor's son, Ingenium's younger brother and Miss Weiss Schnee in your class." Nezu's face never dropped any of his joy. "The fact that Japan's current number one idol decided to apply to our school is such a great honor! Especially since her songs spread such a beautiful message!"
Shota already felt his eyes starting to droop.
"Please try not to expel any of them. Our lawyers had to deal with a lot of problems after last year's expulsion." Nezu smiled again.
"No promises." Shota mumbled as he snuggled closer to himself in his sleeping bag.
"Enjoy your nap!" Nezu closed the door, leaving Shota alone in the darkness. Well that was weird, Nezu brought up three names, but only talked in detail about one student. He would have to investigate that later, right after his nap.
After all, why was the principal of UA interested in some brat idol who happened to be leagues ahead of her fellow first years?
Grabbing his phone and placing a headphone in one of his ears, Shota pressed shuffle on a random Schnee playlist. It wouldn't hurt to investigate a potential threat.
"Listen up, strap in, notify your next of kin!"
A/N
Another one done. I hope everyone enjoyed it!
I'm thinking about writing shorter omakes where Class 1-A performs musicals when I'm bored. We'll see how bored I get. We have reached over 100k views on FFN and are close to 13k on AO3! This wouldn't have happened without the support of you dear readers! Thank you!
Question of the day:
This one goes hand in hand with yesterday. Why do you keep reading? Schnee Hero or Huntress has plenty of returning readers, which actually surprised me! Thank you and I hope you enjoy our journey together!
Till next time on Schnee: Hero or Huntress!
