I gave him a grin. "I wouldn't be here if I was cocky." We continued with basic tests like that. Aizawa asked me to perform multiple tasks with my quirk and just basic physical strength. Eventually, he seemed satisfied with his evaluation.
"Okay, tomorrow you will work on strengthening your quirk more. For now, you may go back to the dorms and study some material from this list. He handed me a single sheet of paper with a few subjects listed. I could only skim it before he continued. "You're skilled, Asuga, but you need practice and training."
"I couldn't agree more." My eyes drifted to my classmates. "When might I..." I motioned to the soon-to-be heroes and their training. I didn't need to finish the sentence to say "I won't do that. May I do that?" Minus the pleading tone.
"Not yet, maybe tomorrow," He said in a tone that didn't give me much hope. "Only if you show progress. It's a logical decision to wait and let you grow on another pace, but we don't quite have time for that."
"So… I can't go practice right now?"
"Were you listening to what I was saying?"
"Yes, in fact, I was. It seemed like you were talking about pushing me into the deep end. And, instead of waiting for the inevitable, I could just go now. After all, it's only logical." I gave him a smirk.
He returned it with a scoff and turned around to walk away. "Do what you want." I could take a guess at one of the reasons he turned around. He was impressed. It was either that or he thought I was really arrogant and annoying. I like to think he didn't want me to see his impressed expression, though.

Hi all! I know there were some technical difficulties with the last chapter. I, hopefully, fixed it, but please let me know if there are any problems I cannot see! Sorry for such a short chapter but this is the end of chapter 27! I may have to skip publishing on Wednesday for the same reasons I had to publish half-chapters. I just wanted to give you all a heads up and let you know you all are beautiful and wonderful human beings and that you should appreciate yourselves.
Peace!
