After another week of relaxing, Izuku was walking down the hallway of UA and was wondering about the 'vision' he had apparently made from singing. It obviously worried All Might and a few of the people around when they saw it, but they never actually explained what it was. All they said was that it was some form precognition that was concerning and that was it. That tells me nothing. Why did they have to be so cryptic about it? He thought to himself annoyed and eventually found himself in front of Class 1-A's door. He stretched his arms and was about to go in when he heard Kyoka behind him.
"And here I thought we'd be walking to class together. How rude." She said with a little bit of a dramatic undertone, showing that she was clearly smirking.
"Er…well….I….uh….you….I-I'm used to walking to class alone, Kyoka! You know….you and I were at different schools so….yeah…" Izuku finished lamely, showing that while he was confident in other aspects of his life, he was still a stuttering, moronic mess when it came to his girlfriend. The headphone jack hero laughed and rolled her eyes at him.
"Calm down, Izu. I'm just teasing. Now come on, we need to go inside." She said before kissing him on the cheek, making him grumble about girls messing with his emotions. Once they opened the door they were surprised to heard both Bakugo and Iida already arguing. Though Izuku just tuned them out and sat down at his desk, not wanting to deal with Bakugo's bullshit attitude. He just shrugged and pulled out his guitar before tuning it and just playing a random melody on it. He hummed softly as he played the song and after a few minutes he stopped and looked to the front of the class to see Aizawa watching him with a raised eyebrow.
"Er…sorry sir, I get lost in my music sometimes." He apologized to him and Aizawa shrugged and said.
"Don't worry. I figured that would happen with your type of quirk. But it took all you to quiet down in 8 seconds, not including Midoriya's…getting lost in his song. 8 seconds is enough time for a villain to take advantage of the situation. That time could be used in your own favor to turn the tide in a battle. Now" He turned and pressed a button on the wall. "Put those on and meet me outside."
"W-Wait! What about the orientation!" A pink girl with horns said, confused.
"Tch, you think heroes actually worry about orientation and other trivial things like that? No, they're out there saving lives and keeping peace." He snapped at her. "Now get dressed and meet me out there. For every minute you're late, you'll be running seven laps." He smirked once he saw them all rushing to put on the gym clothes and walked out to the field. After a few minutes, he saw them all come out. "That was 5 minutes….you'll be running thirty-five laps." He smirked more once everyone started groaning. "And no using quirks to run the laps. The start is me, so you'll be running around the baseball field, so once you pass me, that's a lap. Get going." He rolled his eyes when they started the laps. Some finished early due to their speed and others finished late. Midoriya was one of the first to finish and then spent time relaxing while playing his guitar. He smirked once he saw how slow some people were and decided to play a song for them. Everyone looked confused once they heard the music before looking over to see Midoriya playing it with a smirk on his face while Aizawa shrugged and allowed it.
Rising up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive.
Some of them looked down for a second to collect themselves and get ready to run with the song. Others just smirked and used the song to keep running.
So many times it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
The ones who had stopped before, looked up and started running with the song.
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
At the rival line, he smirked at Aiwzawa, making the scruffy looking teacher roll his eyes and scoff at being called a rival….even if it was slightly true. Though he did glare at a student who was lagging behind, though it seemed to be on purpose as he mainly stayed behind the girls and would oggle at their asses. It made him sick to see that.
Face to face, out in the heat
Hanging tough, staying hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive
Damn right we have the skill to survive. Most of them thought.
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
Rising up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the eye of the tiger
It's the eye of the tiger
Midoriya smirked once he finished and saw that only one person was behind…though he finished about a second later, while having a rather perverted look on his face from staring at the girls. Midoriya glared and went over to him.
"Tell me….what's your name, Ball Brain?" He asked him, smirking as he saw everyone watching, though the ball headed guy didn't seem to notice.
"Mineta….why?" He asked, confused.
"Hmm. And why did you want to become a hero? Money? The right thing to do?"
"No, I did it to get girls." Everyone then looked at him disgusted, and Aizawa growled slightly. "Wow…to get girls. Well….keep your eyes off these girls. They can kick your damn ass." Izuku said and smirked as he walked over to the others and crossed his arms as stood next to Jiro.
"You get a read on the little pervert?" She asked him, curious, knowing how good he is at reading people.
"He won't last." Was all Izuku said and she gave a small pout at him for being cryptic. Aizawa then went on to start his own little orientation, making them show how they could handle certain things. He had Bakugo throw the ball as a first test to see how far he could throw it with his quirk, which the distance was around 705.2 meters while his throw without his quirk was 67 meters when in Jr. High. After that he had them do a distance run, which Izuku was paired up against Bakugo. He smirked as he activated One For All, causing everyone, well except for Jiro, to look surprised when he started glowing and sparking with some lightning. Bakugo was confused, and slightly pissed off.
"Think you can show me up, Deku?!" He snarled out
"No. But I do think I can put you back in your damn place, you fucking extra." Izuku smirked at the look of surprise on his old friends face when he said that, before raising his power a little to 20%. Anything above or near 25% would make his bones ache, so he'd try to minimize the pain. When Aiawa told them to go, Izuku smirked and used One For All to get to the finish line rather quickly, giving him 1.23 seconds while Bakugo had 4.13 seconds. Once he finished he growled at Izuku, making the green haired Deku smirk at him.
For the grip test, he dialed it back to about 10% and when he gripped it, he got about 530kg while the multi armed classmate got 540 kg. Then during the long jump test, he made it to the other side of the jumping area….and about to the other side of the baseball field they were at as he wasn't paying much attention to the power he used. The walk back was amusing for everyone, including himself as he figured he deserved the mockery for that one. During the side stepping test, he watched Mineta using his ball power to try and get the fastest time as he was being tossed back and fourth between them. When he was up, he shrugged and used about 22% of his power, making him faster than the others, and hardly visible to the untrained eye. The ball throw test was next, and he honestly was impressed when Uraraka got infinity with her throw…though it made sense with the fact that her power was zero gravity. Izuku stretched as he grabbed he spare ball they had for times like this, though everyone was looking at Uraraka in slight amusement due to her not canceling her quirk earlier.
Izuku looked at the ball in his hands and frowned, trying to figure out what percentage to use. He decided to go with 5% percent. Aizawa watched and when Izuku was about to throw the ball he erased his quirk, making Midoriya stop and glare at him before he threw the ball. Aizawa smirked and crossed his arms.
"Answer me this Midoriya, why are you holding back some of your power instead of using all of it?" He knew that the young green haired boy before him was All Might's successor, seeing as all the teachers were informed of the choice, but he didn't see reason as to why he'd hold back.
"If I go above a certain percentage then I'll break my bones. I know this as I've done it before. Not a pleasant experience. Even getting near the percentage I have makes me feel sore. I know I'm here to go past those limits, but I'd prefer to not feel useless if I'd have broken my leg or arms today."
"Ah, so you do have a brain under that ridiculous hair. Good. I thought I'd have to give you a talk, but it seems you have it figured out. I've returned your quirk. Take your throw." Aizawa said, quickly amending what he did. Izuku then scowled at the erasure hero and flipped him off, pissed about his comment on his hair. Iida was quick to yell at him for disrespecting a teacher but it made Aizawa laugh and tell the young rule abiding student to calm down, and that he deserved that. Izuku scowled and decided to up it to 20%, mainly just to show off and to see if he could get a reaction out of his old friend. He smirked as he threw the ball, yelling smash in his head while he did so. He ended up getting 1,200.68 Km, smirking as he looked back at the others, shrugging. Bakugo growled and started rushing towards him.
"DEKU! TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT OR I'LL KILL YOU!" He yelled in rage. He had sat by this whole time, watching what he thought was a useless, quirkless Deku, but back when he got his music quirk, he started to question things. But this? Oh, this took the icing on the cake. Izuku smirked and started up his quirk and held up his hand to stop Aizawa when he saw him start to use his quirk. Izuku waited until Bakugo was near him, and once he saw the left hook being thrown, he grabbed the hand and slammed his old friend to the ground and stepped on his chest, adding some strength to the foot to keep him there, causing Bakugo to groan.
"You think you deserve to know things? You think you deserve everything to be served to you on a silver, golden, or platinum platter? And why is that? Just because of your fucking quirk? Tch, please. Don't make me laugh. You're pathetic, you know that? The second you got your quirk, everyone started praising you and acting like you were a god or just amazing in general. I never got my quirk then. So what did you do when you realized that I was quirkless? Was it stick by my side and try and support me the best you could? Hmm? Answer so everyone can hear you." Izuku said, with a growl.
"N-No." Katsuki said, mostly through pain.
"That's right. You didn't stick by me. Would you like a reminder of what you did? Or do you remember it?"
"I…I abandoned you."
"Yeah, you abandoned me. You also started beating me up and beating up anyone you found to be beneath you. Breaking the no quirk in public rule, trespassing and breaking every damned rule you could, just because you thought you were untouchable." Izuku growled out, shocking the others. They figured the blonde had problems, but that far back? "I only stuck by you to try and get you to see what you were doing was wrong. And before you say I was looking down on you, no. I wasn't. I was either scared for you when you got hurt, or genuinely impressed with you. But you let your fucking ego get to you."
"Because I'm going to be the best there is! And you extra's will be behind me, kissing the ground I walk on!" Katsuki shouted out, letting his ego show.
"Yeah, no. See, that was my plan. To be the best hero, like All Might. But once you found out about it, you started beating me and claiming that as your own end goal. Funny, I doubt that'll work out. You tried making my dream non-existent. And for what? Just because I didn't have a quirk? Hmph. You're the most pathetic person I know. Hell, you're ego is so bad along with you're attitude, I wouldn't be surprised if you were actually a god damn villain in disguise. Now tell me….what did you say I should do when you found out I was going to apply here without a quirk?"
Katsuki glared and kept his mouth shut, not wanting to relive one of his more….despicable moments.
"Hmm. Let me remind you. You said, and I quote" He paused and smirked as he spoke again, but this time in Katsuki's voice, shocking them all. "'If you want a quirk so badly, then why don't you hope you get lucky and take a swan dive off the roof?'" He switched back to his normal voice. "Now does that sound like a hero to you? Not to me. It sounds more like a villain than anything." He took his foot off Bakugo's chest and lifted him up by his shirt collar. "You'e wrong about me not belonging here. It's you who doesn't belong here. Now get the fuck out of my sight." He threw Bakugo back to the crowd, though they didn't help him up, just giving him looks of disgust, while Aizawa was thinking about what just happened.
After the rest of the tests, Aizawa brought up the scores, showing Izuku in the top three. And Mineta in last, causing the boy to gulp.
"Well, you all passed, except for you, Mineta. Come with me. You to, Bakugo. We need to talk about what I learned today with the principal. The rest of you, head back to class and go home. School's over." They all nodded and left. Though Izuku was left behind with the other three. He sighed and looked at Bakugo.
"Whatever happens to you…it's your fault. If I see you tomorrow, then good to know that they gave you a chance. If I don't? Hmm…good riddance." He said, scowling a little as he walked away. Bakugo and Mineta glanced at Aizawa who looked at them with indifference before saying.
"Lets go"
