Izuku sat beside Akemi on the bus.
And he deeply regretted that decision.
Because right now, this girl is having a violent curse-off with Kacchan over nicknames. She called him 'Bakagou', he called her... Em. He'd rather not say.
On his other side sat Asui-san, who tilted her head and commented how Kacchan wouldn't become a popular hero, to which he blew up.
"Hah?! What the heck do you mean?!"
"See? My point is proven."
Akemi snickered, but then turned towards him.
"Right— Izu. Hand." She held out her own, "The block."
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Kirishima-kun blinked, "Midoriya, your quirk was hibernating for almost your entire life, right? It's so manly of you to apply for the exams quirkless!"
As Akemi poured her golden energy into his wrist, Izuku stammered a little and scratched the back of his head. "Y-yeah. I suppose." He grinned, "I've wanted to become a hero all my life, so..."
"Even so, I've never heard if quirk hibernation." Asui-san spoke up, "It's supposed to be really rare, right? I don't anyone else here have experienced it."
For a short moment Akemi went still, and Izuku gave her a worried glance.
"Actually I did." She spoke up, looking up. "My quirk hibernated for two years; I got it when I was six."
"Really?" Kirishima-kun turned towards her, "why, though? I thought only quirks difficult to control hibernates!"
"Yeah." Akemi nodded, "My quirk is pretty hard to control. In fact the slightest slip of concentration can kill me."
"Eeh?!" Uraraka-san leaned forwards with shock and intrigue, "Why didn't you tell us?"
"Never got the chance." She shrugged. Izuku glanced at Aizawa-sensei, he seems to be listening in. "I... Actually, if my quirk had manifested any sooner, I really would've died." Akemi now looks a little sad, a small smile on her face. "Sure, I was treated as quirkless for two years of my life, but to be honest, I'm glad my quirk hibernated."
"But how so, kero?" Asui-san asked, "Akemi-chan, your quirk seems really strong, and you don't seem to have any trouble controlling it."
"That's exactly it." She sighed. "My quirk is 'Sorcery', or rather, 'Complete Convertable Energy Manipulation and Charged Energy Telekinesis'" those who didn't know jolted with surprise, from across her, Kacchan's eye twitched. "If I lose control, I can kill not only myself but also everyone around me." She twirled a stray strand of her hair, "I can drain energy, and that means I can become a black hole of it and drains everything around me before I blow up, or starts to drain endlessly, converting it all to one particular type of energy and releasing it in the same time. It've happened."
"W-what?!"
"When it manifested, I killed the entire garden." She sighed, "And a weed equals to about a billion volt of electricity. Do the calculations."
The class shivered at the thought. Akemi gave them a strained grin. The topic then changed to his quirk, and the girls themselves began chatting about Akemi's ever-changing hair-styles.
"Alright settle down, settle down." Aizawa-sensei's voice called out, "We're almost there."
Shouta sighed in relief when he got off the bus.
It's so stuffy in there. And the teenagers, god... Any longer and he might just throw himself out of the frigging thing.
The students oohed and ahhed as they entered the USJ, but his gaze is on Kimura.
From what she said... Shouta sighed; Kimura's quirk is very powerful. From the name and description he already knows that. But what she just said to her classmates were... Unsettling.
He frowned in thoughts as thirteen explained the basics of today's training and gave a speech on rescue missions. Her quirk is intriguing, potent and extensive, her control is excellent but from what he've seen, there's a lot more to her powers than what she displayed in the apprehension and combat exercise. He thought she was too lazy to stretch her quirk, but that is clearly not the case.
She is most likely scared. Training with her powers is hazardous. And he supposes it's only normal she didn't take a risk like that. Without a proper supervisor exercising her quirk would be toying with death.
He had his eyes locked onto the girl, when all a sudden she started and her head whipped towards the centre of the dome. Shouta turned to see what she's looking at, but found nothing. Until—
A black mist appeared, and the girl took a step back. Eyes wide. Shouta gritted his teeth as he strides forwards to shield his students.
"Woah, that's fast!" It's Kirishima. "Is this like the entrance exam where the lesson's already started?"
Midoriya began to walk forwards, but he snapped.
"Don't Move!" The teen flinched, from the corner of his eyes he kept a careful eye on his kids until he pulled on his goggles. People began to pour out from the wall of black smoke.
"Those are villains."
Please RnR to wish class 1A luck!
