Chapter 4
Klavdiya P.O.V.
"Are you kidding me!? The last place students is getting expelled?" What kind of bullshit is this? My new teacher Mr. Aizawa sure is being a dick! How can a school who hardly accepts people as it is just expel students on the first day? "Shoto, he has to be kidding right? He can't do that...can he?" I whisper to my brother while jabbing him in the arm with my finger.
"I suppose he can do whatever he pleases. We better not come in last." He pulls his arm out of reach of my jabbing finger as he side steps away. This is just great, I barely get in and now I'm about to be expelled. Let's hope these tests aren't outside of my quirks.
"Here at U.A. we are not tethered to traditions. That means I get to run my class however I seem fit." Mr. Aizawa says as he has his back turned to the class. "Bakugo, throw this ball using your quirk." I haven't learned anyone's name yet, not even that snob from before class, so I'm looking at the rest of the students trying to figure out who it is. HOLY MOLY! It's cutie mcfire pants! Bakugo…..*swoon* what a hot name to match such a hottie like himself. Klavdiya Bakugo...hmmmm...I like the sound of that. We would be so cute together! I can see it now, our love will burn as bright as his explosions and my flames!
"Don't blame me when your ball goes missing." Bakugo steps into the circle for his throw. He winds up and right as the ball escapes his hand he blasts a huge explosion and the ball is propelled three times as far as I can see. That ball flew 705 meters! What a man! The whole class is going crazy. We have never been able to use our quirks on any test before. This seemed like an amazing chance to show off what we can do.
"Diya, calm down. You're blushing. Way to draw attention to yourself on the first day." Shoto hisses in my ear. He's never been fond of any crushes I've had before and I can see in his eyes that he definitely doesn't care for this one.
"WHAT!?" I can't believe I'm blushing! I slap my hands over my face and slink towards the back of the class. Did anyone see me? Did Bakugo see me? What is wrong with me? "Calm down idiot, everything is fine." I mumble to myself as I focus on the water side of my quirk to flush the red from my face.
"We've got to stop meeting like this." I totally did not just back up into someone, and especially not him! The kid from before is now at my backside just like before, except this time I FUCKING RAN INTO HIM!
"Sorry…" I keep my hands in my face as I take a step forward away from him. "And sorry for earlier...i guess. You startled me and then I got defensive. It's a bad habit of mine. I've got a bad temper…" My arms drop back down to my sides but I still keep my back toward him. I can't let him see I was blushing. No one can know. I'll never live it down.
"Never?" ...WHAT? I definitely didn't say that out loud. HE KNOWS! But how? This doesn't make sense!
"How did you do that? Get out of my head!" I can't believe he read my thoughts. Now he's going to tell everyone how I feel about Bakugo. WHAT THE FUCK KLAVDIYA!? GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! I could just die.
"You have a crush on Katsuki?" He mutters a loud whisper and my thoughts stop dead in its tracks. I can feel the color drain from my body. I'm nothing but a hollow husk of a person now.
"So that's his first name, Kaksuki Bakugo. The more you know…" My words trail off and I'm left standing there hunched over in total defeat. My life is now over, this guy is going to ruin me.
"It's ok, I won't tell anyone. I understand what it's like to have a crush." I notice he turns his attention over to the red-headed ball of energy toward the front of the class. Maybe this guy isn't so bad. I mean he's not going to expose me for the crush-crazed girl that I'm being.
"You keep my secret and I'll keep yours." I turn to face him. "I'm Reznikov, Klavdiya Reznikov." He returns his gaze toward me and his face is softer than before. He actually doesn't look half bad, totally not my type though, only blondie for me. He opens his mouth to respond back to me but Mr. Aizawa cuts him off.
"Anders, you're up. Chop chop don't make us wait." Anders, well I guess I got his name one way or another. He turns back toward me one final time before making his way to the circle.
"Wanna see hot head get feisty?" With that his back was toward me. I'm so intrigued at this point I'm following him to the front of the class. I probably would have walked right into the circle if Shoto wouldn't have grabbed my arm. I really need to pay attention. Anders prepares his throw and the vibe that he's giving off feels oddly familiar. It isn't until after the ball is long out of his hand that I noticed what happened. HE USED BAKUGO'S QUIRK! Like same exact throw! The wind catches his ball and his throw went 706 meters.
"IT'S YOU! THE POSER FROM THE ENTRANCE PRACTICAL! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Bakugo practically lunges out at Anders and he punches him with a huge explosion. Or he would have but there was no explosion. "WHAT THE HELL?!" Aizawa's scarf is now wrapped around Bakugo's wrist and his hair is floating.
"I'm not in the mood to deal with this Bakugo. Settle down or you'll be the one expelled." Aizawa is the pro hero known as Eraser Head. He has the power to cancel out anyone's quirk as long as he has them in his sights. Once he loses eyesight or he blinks their quirk returns. Bakugo reluctantly returns to his place in the class and everyone takes a few steps back. I don't know if he notices, but he's letting off multiple small explosions behind him. "Reznikov! Hurry up and go so we can get the rest of the tests over with."
Now it's my turn. How in the world do I follow that? Anders gives me a hearty smirk as we pass each other. I have to focus. Fire or water, which will help me more? I'm running out of time and everyone is staring at me.
"Let's go Reznikov…" Mr. Aizawa caught me so of guard that I just threw the ball. Luckily I was able to catch myself in time to shoot a thick stream of water out of the palm of my hand to boost the ball outward. I made it about 300 meters but that nothing compared to how Anders and Bakugo did. There goes my chance to impress him.
The rest of the tests weren't much different from the ball throw, usual school tests. I still don't think I did to great. I sure hope I'm not last. PLEASE don't let me be last! Mr. Aizawa is putting up the list now on the projector. I'm afraid to look.
"You did fine, you shouldn't worry." Anders says as he's walking back over to me. "And it's Draeson by the way. I didn't get to say before."
"Are you sure? My quirk doesn't exactly help with toe touches?" His kind words help my anxiety but I'm still on edge waiting in suspense.
"Just trust me. I know." He says as a smirk creeps onto his face.
The list is up and I'm scouring for my name. I'm not last. I didn't do great but I'm not last! Last place was the green haired kid from before, Midoriya. I'm so relieved I almost cried!
"How did you know?" I almost laugh my question as I reach over and hug Draeson before I have a chance to realize I had done so. "SORRY!" I jerked back really fast. How can you hug a stranger that you had been yelling at only hours before.
"It's fine haha and it's my quirk. I have ways of acquiring information." It didn't even phase him that seconds ago I basically latched onto him like a small child.
It turns out Mr. Aizawa never intended to expel anyone. He was just being a dick trying to get us to go all out to test our quirks at 100%. This class just got a lot more intense.
