Shouta wasn't expecting this from his class this year.
When he read through the files of the members of his class, he knew some of them would be trouble, and from the teacher's section on Kimura Akemi he's pretty sure he'll need twice the aspirin this year.
But no. He didn't ask for this. Why the hell did Nezu put her in his class, dammit.
After calling Bakugou, who had the highest physical fitness score of the class, for the demonstration, and having announced that the last place would be expelled, he observed each of his students with careful eyes, narrowing them a little when he spotted Midoriya Izuku's interaction with Kimura Akemi, as he handed him his hand and the girl took it, her own glowing with her quirk's golden light.
Huh.
When he watched the entrance exams he would admit that he was a little stunned by the full potential of Kimura's quirk and what it implies, and Midoriya's odd strength which seemed to have gone out of control when he took down the Zero-Pointer. But the biggest difference between the two would be the careful, precise control that Kimura displayed, and Midoriya is armature at.
And from what he just saw here, Aizawa huffed as he remembered the golden ribbons of light that mirrored Kimura's quirk, it would seem that Midoriya had been letting someone else do his job for him.
Akemi's a lifesaver.
As Izuku readied himself at the starting line of the 100-meter sprint next to Kacchan, he felt her energy limiting his and letting a safe amount of One for All charge his legs he shot off with speed, gold and green coiling around him and he finished just barely after Kacchan.
Kacchan was staring at him. Wide eyes with shock and fury. Izuku started slightly, remembering how much his explosions had hurted, but gulped and met his eyes with a determined gaze.
He seemed startled, at first. But then pulled his upper lip back into a snarl.
Izuku made through his tests in a similar manner, and wasn't at all surprised to see that Akemi is totally enjoying herself. She had nearly broken every record for each test: she finished nearly as quickly as Iida did for the 100 meters dash, accidentally crunched the grip test machine and dabbed as she did the long jump with nullified gravity and explosions that launched her too far for them to see. Not to mention the long-distance run, she partially aced it with draining the gravitational energy around her, singing and waving as she passed all along.
He really didn't know whether to laugh, or cry.
After observing the many tests, Shouta sighed and made his decision.
Despite the potential he showed, Shouta isn't going to let some teenager who had to rely on someone else to control his quirk so he wouldn't render himself useless to stay in the hero course.
So as Midoriya Izuku walked within the circle and pulled back his arm, he sighed and activated his quirk.
Please RnR for no broken bones!
