Eight Tests. In eight tests we had to prove exactly what our quirks consisted of.
Ochaco and I stood shoulder to shoulder next to the freckled face, wild haired boy as Mr. Aizawa explained to us, just exactly why he was performing this test. His words, impacted each student as he told us to go beyond, and show him it was no mistake that we were here.
First up: 50 Meter Dash
I watched in amazement as the class of 1-A one by one showed off their own quirks. Two by two each pair went, trying to beat the fastest time for the fifty meter dash. The assertive four eyed boy? Yeah that's Tenya Iida, his quirk proved to be fast and powerful with those engines in his calves. He went against a girl with a frog quirk, Tsuyu Asui not the best strength for this test.
It was finally my turn. Against a pretty boy with a naval laser. Yuga Aoyama.
"Time to show off some pizazz." he said facing backwards at the starting line.
"Good luck." I say smirking, copying his same position. He shot me a glance of confusion, as the they signaled for us to start.
Using all my lunar energy, I shot the light beams out of my hands and towards the ground. Careful to not aim it at anyone, launching myself into the air, then switching my hands in the air to change the trajectory. I landed at the end with a small flip, just as Yuga crossed the finish line. He looked at me with amazement, as they finally announced my name, and my quirk.
"Go Seiren! Ochaco raised her fist in the air cheering me on. I smiled and walked back to her side, as the class raised their eyes to me in awe.
"Before you ask, yes she is Lady Paralysis and Liquefy's daughter. So next to Todoroki, she is another child of a pro hero." Aizawa said clearing up the matter.
"Whoa! So cool!" I heard the boy with wild hair and freckles say as he stared at me. He was a total fanboy.
I scanned the crowd, my eyes landing on Todoroki. It was true both of our parents were heroes, but as I looked at him I seen something that reflected the same feelings as me. Our eyes connected, and at that moment I knew that we shared some unwritten connection. We understood each other, even though we had never met.
I need to talk to him one day.
Ochaco gave me a small glare, as she turned to face me hands on her hips.
"Seiren! She whined, "How come you never told me that you related to them!?"
"Sorry, let me explain later." I said nervously shaking my hands around. She seemed to be satisfied with that answer as we turned to watch the rest of the students.
"Seiren! My love! It seems we meet again!" said a familiar voice coming from below me. His eyes glancing at Ochaco ever so slightly.
"Mineta!" I said scowling, as his eyes formed into hearts and he drooled. "Please go run your fifty meter dash, before I punch you again, I say feeling the need to protect Ochaco.
As time went by, it was finally the freckled face boys turn, against some other boy with wild blonde hair and one hell of a bad attitude. He almost seemed to have his own personal vendetta against the freckled face boy.
Finally, I get to find out your name. My heart once again skipping a beat. I have to get that checked out sometime...
"Burst speed!" yelled the blonder haired boy. His quirk obviously explosion. He smirked angrily at the other boy who just ran normally down the track.
Wait. How come he didn't use his quirk? It was so powerful that day.
Ochaco turned to me in confusion, clearing us both thinking the same thing.
Katsuki Bakugo, was the angry boys name. Then Izuku Midoriya.
Izuku, yeah that seems to fit him perfectly.
However, as the test began to fly by, I noticed Izuku never seemed to use his quirk once. Finally came the ball throw test. Ochaco excelled at this, making her ball float winning her infinity.
I gave her a small high five and a smile as I stepped into the circle. Using all my energy, I again channeled it into my palm, but not overdoing it, in order to not shred the ball into pieces. Launching the ball into the air, I throw my leg up behind me in order to balance myself.
708.6 Meters.
I turned to go back to Ochaco satisfied with my results, and earning a small glare from Bakugo.
Izuku was next, and I found myself wondering if he would be the one sent home today. The others must've been wondering the same thing, as Bakugo and Iida argued on whether he truly was quirkless or not.
My eyes zoned in on Izuku, watching his eyes close in a look of determination as he stepped back in effort to launch the ball. However, it was short lived, as his ball only went 46 meters.
Mr. Aizawa quickly wrapped Izuku in his scarf, his hair suddenly floating around his head in the air, and his eyes glowing red.
I could make out bits and pieces of their conversation. Our teacher was none other than Eraser head. A pro hero, but unlike my parents didn't seem the fame or fortune of being a hero.
My heart gave a small leap. I might've been the only student here, who desired to be a hero just like him. An underground hero.
Mr. Aizawa released Izuku, and returned the ball to him. Letting him once again try to launch the ball.
What exactly did he say to him? I pondered to myself as Izuku faced away from us. Come on Izuku, don't give up just yet.
I watched in awe as Izuku stepped back once again and launched his ball into the air. Sending it flying farther than the one I threw.
709.9 Meters.
As the rest of the class and I stared at Izuku, I seen him a look in his eyes that I myself desired to have. Determination.
He faced Mr. Aizawa and said something under his breath that I couldn't make out. As the rest of the class celebrated his ball throw, I noticed his index finger was broken.
Bakugo was clearly angry as he raced towards Izuku, yelling out "Deku, where did you get that quirk?" clearly they knew each other from the past. However, Mr. Aizawa stopped him before he could lay a finger on Izuku.
What's with this hot head?
Izuku shuffled away from the path of Bakugo and back towards where me and Ochaco were standing.
"How's your finger?" I say quietly as he came closer to my side.
"It's fine! he said nervously again avoiding eye contact.
"You know, you don't have to be so nervous around me Izuku. I won't bite I promise." I say with a small smile, taking his hand in mine.
I could physically see each part of his body tense up as he watched me with wide eyes. He shook as he watched me slowly take his finger and wrap my hand around it carefully not to injure him more.
"Whaaaa...he said shaking and his whole face blood red.
"Would you relax?" I say cracking a small laugh. "I'm not gonna hurt you."
My hand began to glow, as I slowly transferred some of my healing energy onto his finger.
Slowly I uncover his finger, revealing that it was now back to normal.
"How, how did you do that?" he said staring at me with wide eyes. His speech back to normal and his face a more normal color.
"I have a healing ability, but to an extent." I know that must be painful, so I wanted to heal it for you before we got our results. "But, that can be our secret." I say as I give him a small wink, and walk with the rest of the class over to Mr. Aizawa. Izuku slowly following behind, clutching his finger, the blush returning to his face.
It's like he's never talked to a girl before. I think to myself a smile turning up the corners of my mouth.
Mr. Aizawa explained to us, that the threat to send someone home wasn't real and that the real work would only get harder for us tomorrow so we better be ready. I turned to catch a glimpse of Izuku who seemed relieved with that answer.
Later that day, Ochaco and I caught up to Iida and Izuku who were walking towards the station.
"Oh Infinity girl, and Lunar girl." Iida said as we neared closer, offering to walk with them.
"Actually, it's Uraraka Ochaco and Hayashi Seiren." Ochaco said motioning to me. "Your Tenya Iida and Midoriya Deku right?" Ochaco said.
Midoriya nervously laughed explaining that wasn't name just something Bakugo called him to make fun of him.
"Well, I think it would be a great hero name!" said Ochaco giving him a small smile.
"I agree. It's definitely super cute." I say without thinking.
"Deku it is!" said Izuku quickly responding to me.
"Wait, didn't you just say that was an insult?" said Iida confused.
My face flushed as I turned away from the three, as we all began to walk together towards the station.
Did I seriously just say that to him?
I quickly brushed it off, running to catch up with the three. Choosing to ignore whatever just happened.
