/One Week Later/
"Scores for the practical are out."
The teachers looked at the screen in front of them that showcased the top 10 scores of the practical Entrance Exam.
[[Name: Katsuki Bakugo | Villain Points: 77 | Rescue Points: 0 | Total: 77 | Rank: 1st]]

The screen lit up with a recording of Katsuki Bakugo in the middle of fighting the Villain Bots from the exam, blasting them apart with tremendous explosions. An arrogant smile was on his face.
"In first place, with zero rescue points! The One-and-Two-Pointer Villains were just itching to capture him. In the second half, when the other examinees were slowing down, this guy just kept going at it. He's one tough cookie."
The screen changed to an image of Izuku Midoriya within the exam, a frightened expression on his face. "And on the other side of the spectrum, in ninth place, with zero villain points. Yes, others have stood against the gimmick in the past, but…it's been a while since we've seen someone actually take it down."
"But he was considerably damaged by his own attack..." One teacher remarked. "Like a child getting a first glimpse of his power."
"A strange one, for sure. He looks like a typical failure in every other way."
"Who cares about the details? I like him!"
"Kid just makes me go 'yeah'!"
"This year's shaping up to be a special one…second place destroyed the gimmick as well. Two students at that level of power, within the same year? This is going to be very interesting."
One black-haired teacher sighed as he listened to the others talk. Geez…what a racket. He thought.
Rimuru's eyes widened as she looked down at the opened U.A. High School letter she had just received in the mail. It showed the score for the practical exam she had done just a week prior. 42 villain points, just as she had counted.
And 24…rescue points? Present Mic didn't mention those. Was that on purpose? She had totalled 66 points, and was the top sixth student within the practical exam.
She had passed.
Rimuru smiled.
And Milim probably did as well, considering her rank.
Perfect.
/Spring/
"Whoa, so these are the halls of U.A…"
Milim expressed her awe as she walked alongside Rimuru through the halls of U.A.'s main building. They were both wearing their U.A. uniforms, and had come slightly early (at Milim's request), so they would most likely be some of the first students in their class to arrive.
Class 1-A. One of the two classes alongside Class 1-B within the Department of Heroes – where students learn everything they need to know to become excellent heroes in service of the community and work towards the qualifications necessary to be allowed to use their Quirks in public spaces.
This was exactly the type of class they were aiming for.
"Oh, we're here already." Milim remarked as they stopped in front of a large door. '1' and 'A' were visible on the door, indicating that this was their class. "I wonder if anyone else is already here…" Rimuru remarked as she slowly opened the door and peeked inside.
Inside the class, Rimuru could see several people, about five. So they weren't the first ones here. And then, she recognised one of them. It was the same girl Rimuru had met prior to the entrance exam – Mina Ashido. She was sitting at the front of the class and was talking to another student seated to her right.
The student she was talking to was a short girl with a frog-like appearance. She had light skin, long, dark sea-green hair tied in a bow on her back, alongside very wide eyes with pure black irises and distinctive lower eyelashes. Milim glanced through the open door as well. "Oh, there's people already here!" She remarked.
Hearing Milim's voice, Mina turned her head towards the door. "Oh, there's who I was talking about!" She remarked towards the frog-like girl as she waved over towards Rimuru and Milim. "Hey, over here!" Mina called out towards Rimuru. She walked over towards Mina as Milim followed.
"Nice to see that you passed the entrance exam! And we're in the same class, no less!" Mina exclaimed. "Yeah, what a coincidence." Rimuru remarked. Milim glanced towards Mina, before glancing back towards Rimuru. "Who's she, Rimuru?" Milim asked.
"Just someone I met back in the entrance exam." Rimuru responded. Milim smiled as she turned towards Mina. "Nice to meet you then! I'm Rimuru's friend, Milim Nava." Milim said. ""I'm Mina Ashido." Mina responded.
The frog-like girl waved her hand in greeting, as Rimuru sat down next to Mina and Milim sat down next to Rimuru, next to the window. "I'm Tsuyu Asui. Nice to meet you." She said. Milim smiled as she nodded her head in response.
Mina turned towards Rimuru. "So, Tempest, I saw you fight a bit back in the entrance exam. You've got a cool quirk – you made some kind of armour on your body, right?" Mina asked. Rimuru turned towards her. Armour? She must have seen me use 「Body Armour」. I'll just go along with it for now, explaining the true nature of my Quirk will only overcomplicate things. Rimuru thought.
"Yeah, my Quirk is called 'Body Armour'. I can create silver scale-like metal armour across any point in my body. It's good for deflecting smaller attacks but it'll break apart if hit by bigger barrages though. The armour also increases my physical strength a bit as well." Rimuru explained. She wasn't lying – Rimuru did have the 「Body Armour」Quirk. She was just…avoiding the truth about 「Devouring Goo」.
"Ohhh! That's so cool!" Mina exclaimed. Rimuru saw that Milim was too busy looking out through the window in awe to take part in the conversation, but that didn't really bother her. Rimuru also noticed that Asui had put her finger up to her mouth, perhaps out of curiosity. "What about your Quirk, Asui?" Rimuru asked, as Asui turned towards her.
"Me? My Quirk is 'Frog', I can do anything a Frog can. I can jump really high, stick to walls, my tongue can stretch to a maximum of 20 metres…I can also spit up my stomach to clean it, and secrete a poisonous fluid which doesn't do much but stings a little. So the last two aren't that useful." Asui explained.
"Ohh, I see." Rimuru remarked. More students seemed to be coming into the classroom now. "What about Nava?" Asui asked as she looked over towards Milim, who was still busy staring out the window. "Oh, nevermind. She seems…busy already." Asui remarked. She turned back towards Rimuru.
"Are you two friends?"
Rimuru nodded. "Milim and I have been close friends since childhood, since before we even got our Quirks. She's quite attached to me as well, we took the entrance exam together though we got put in different test sites." She explained. "Yes, I saw the scores from the practical…she was second place, right? With a bit over 60 villain points. You must be very proud of your friend." Asui remarked.
"Well, I know she can handle herself in a fight. Much more than I ever can." Rimuru responded. "Don't say that, Tempest. You were sixth place, far higher than me. You have plenty of potential as well." Asui responded. Rimuru smiled. "Thanks." She responded.
Suddenly, they heard a commotion nearby. Rimuru, Asui and Mina turned as Milim was still too busy staring out the window. Two students were seemingly arguing. Rimuru narrowed her eyes as she recognised both of them – the ash-blond haired student from before, Bakugo. He had his foot up on his desk. The other student, with black hair and glasses, was seemingly arguing with him.
"Remove your foot from that desk! Such an action is insulting to those who came to U.A. before us as well as the craftsmen who made that desk!" The student with glasses exclaimed. "Like I care. What middle school are you from, you extra?" Bakugo responded with an arrogant smile on his face.
"I'm from Somei Private Academy. My name is Tenya Iida." The student with glasses responded. Bakugo laughed. "Somei?! A stuck-up elitist, then? I should blow you to bits!" Bakugo exclaimed. Iida widened his eyes. "Blow me to bits?! You're awful. Do you really wish to become a hero?!" He responded.
Before Bakugo could respond, Iida noticed someone open the door to the classroom and peak in. Rimuru recognised the newcomer as the dark-green haired boy they had seen Bakugo yell at before the exam. He made it into U.A.? That's a surprise, he doesn't look like much…Rimuru thought.
Iida walked over towards the dark-green haired boy. "I'm from Somei Academy…" He begun, only to be cut off. "I heard you before! Ah…I'm Izuku Midoriya. Pleased to meet you, Iida…" The dark-green haired boy responded. Rimuru's eyes widened. Izuku Midoriya? He's the student who got ninth place? It was based on rescue points, I think…what's this guy capable of? She thought.
"Midoriya…you…you perceived the true nature of the exam, while I did not. I misjudged you! I hate to admit it, but you were the superior candidate!" Iida said. Uh, what. Is he talking about the rescue points thing? I'm pretty sure nobody knew about that. Unless this Midoriya is some kind of genius, I doubt he was better than you…you were ranked higher than him, anyway. Rimuru thought.
Bakugo glared towards Midoriya. Rimuru noticed that was almost…hatred expressed on his face. "Deku…" He growled. Deku? Is that some kind of nickname? Do they know eachother? Well, that might explain what happened before the entrance exam. Rimuru thought. "Uwah…" Asui muttered as she put her finger to her mouth in thought. Rimuru turned towards her.
"He's not going to be getting any favours with that kind of behaviour. To think he wants to be a hero…makes you think what his image of a hero even is." Asui remarked. "Yeah…" Rimuru responded as she glanced back towards Bakugo.
"Ah! That curly hair!"
A female voice exclaimed out as they peeked into the classroom from the door. It was a girl with light skin, brown eyes, and shoulder-length brown hair which sported two long locks beside her face and a short bob at the back. Isn't that the girl who stopped Midoriya's fall back before the entrance exam with some kind of levitation Quirk? Rimuru thought. Midoriya quickly turned around to face her. "The plain-looking boy!" She exclaimed.
That is probably the most accurate description of Midoriya I've ever heard.
"You got in, just like Present Mic said! Makes sense, though! That punch was awesome!" She exclaimed, as Midoriya recoiled with an embarrassed expression on his face. "No! I mean…I have to thank you for speaking on my behalf…I…well…" Midoriya responded. The girl tilted her head in a confused way.
"Huh? How do you know about that?" She remarked. "Uh…well…" Midoriya responded. "So we've got our entrance ceremony and guidance lessons today, yeah? Wonder what our teacher will be like? Boy, I'm nervous." The girl said as she looked towards Midoriya.
"If you're here to socialize, then get out."
Their one-sided conversation was cut off by a male voice out in the hallway. The girl turned around, and saw what appeared to be a man, within a large yellow sleeping bag. What the…Rimuru thought. "This is…the hero course." The man said, standing up within his sleeping bag before walking past Midoriya, Iida and the girl and up to the front of the classroom. The entire room was silent.
He got out of the sleeping bag, stepping out in front of the entire class. He was a ragged-looking man with light skin, black eyes, and messy shoulder-length black hair. He had a worn-out appearance, as if he had just gotten out of bed. He was wearing a ragged black outfit that consisted of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. He also wore a utility belt and a large white scarf.
"It took eight seconds for you to quiet down. Time is a precious resource. You lot aren't very rational, are you?" The man said. Is this guy our teacher? Rimuru wondered. Milim had changed her focus from the window to the man himself, even she was wondering who he was. "So he's a Pro Hero too…?" Midoriya muttered.
"I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Pleased to meet you." The man said. So he is our teacher. Rimuru thought. Aizawa reached into his sleeping bag, before pulling out what seemed to be a male gym outfit. He held it out in front of Midoriya's face. "Quickly now. Change into your gym clothes and head out to the grounds." Aizawa said.
"A test…of our quirks?!"
All of the Class 1-A students were in their gym clothes and were standing out in the practice field, with Aizawa standing in front of them. The 'levitation girl' (as Rimuru had nicknamed her) exclaimed in surprise. "What about the entrance ceremony?! Or guidance sessions?!" She exclaimed. "No time to waste on that stuff if you wish to become heroes." Aizawa responded bluntly. He glared over his shoulder towards the students.
"U.A. is known for its 'freestyle' educational system. That applies to us teachers as well." He said. "Soft-ball throwing. The standing long jump. The 50-meter dash. Endurance running. Grip strength. Side-to-side stepping. Upper-body training. Seated toe touch. You did all these in middle school, yes? Your standard no-Quirks-allowed gym tests."
The students nodded, with Milim nervously chuckling as she scratched the back of her head. "This country still insists on prohibiting Quirks when calculating the averages of those records. It's not rational. The Department of Education is just procrastinating." Aizawa explained. He glanced towards Bakugo.
"Bakugo. How far could you throw in middle school?" He asked. "Sixty-seven metres." Bakugo responded. "Great. Now try it with your Quirk. Do whatever you need to. Just don't leave the circle." Aizawa said as he threw a ball into Bakugo's hands. Bakugo walked into the centre of the practice field, within the circle. "Give it all you've got." Aizawa said.
"Awesome." Bakugo remarked as he prepared himself, stretching and then moving into position to throw. And then, he threw the ball, a massive explosion releasing from the palm of his hand as the ball was launched into the air at incredible speeds. "DIE!" He exclaimed. Die? The entire class thought collectively as the wind from the explosion blew past them.
The ball hit the ground, with Aizawa calculating the distance it had been thrown. The device he was holding beeped, and he looked down at it. "It's important for us to know our limits. That's the first rational step to figuring out what kind of heroes you'll be." Aizawa said as he held the device out and showed them the distance.
705.2 metres.
And the entire class erupted into excited discussion.
"Whoa! This is awesome!"
"705 metres? Seriously?"
"So we can use our Quirks for real! Man, the hero course is great!"
Aizawa sighed. "Awesome…you say?" He muttered, before putting his face in his hands. "You're hoping to become heroes after three years here…and you think it'll be all fun and games?" He remarked, before glaring up towards the students as they fell silent.
"Right. The one with the lowest score across all eight events will be deemed hopeless…and will be expelled."
Aizawa's words were like a dagger to all the hearts of the Class 1-A students. Expelled? On the first day?! Rimuru thought, her eyes widening. Their teacher was no joke. He looked like a complete mess, but they could tell that he meant business. "WHAAA?!" The students exclaimed. Aizawa adjusted his hair as he stood up, a sinister smile on his face. "Your fates are in our hands."
"Welcome. This is…"
"The Hero Course at U.A. High!"
"The lowest scorer will be expelled…? It's only the first day! I mean, even if it weren't…that's still totally unfair!" 'Levitation girl' exclaimed as she stepped forwards in front of the other students. "Natural disasters, highway pileups, rampaging villains…calamity is always right around the corner. I'd say Japan is full of unfair things." Aizawa responded coldly.
"Heroes are the ones…who correct that unfairness."
"I'm sorry to tell you…but for the next three years…U.A. will run you through the wringer."
"That's Plus Ultra."
"Use your strength to overcome it all. So bring it." Aizawa said, putting his finger up and motioning it towards him, as if to say, 'come on, do it'. Rimuru prepared herself, as Milim stretched and got herself ready. I can't fail this. Rimuru thought, as the other students prepared themselves as well. "The demonstration is over." Aizawa said.
"Now it's for real."
Event 1: 50-Metre Dash.
Iida zoomed forwards, engines on his legs as he passed Asui quickly, who was hopping along like a frog."3.04 seconds!" The tracking robot stated as Iida finished the dash."5.58 seconds." It said as Asui finished afterwards. "Ribbit…" She remarked. Aizawa narrowed his eyes as he looked towards Iida.
Tenya Iida. Quirk: 「Engine」. He's quite fast, to say the least. Eh…like a fish in water. We'll see how he does in the other events.Aizawa thought. He then glanced towards Asui. Tsuyu Asui. Quirk: 「Frog」. She's obviously not the speedy type. He thought. 'Levitation girl' prepared herself, touching her shoes. I'll just make my shoes lighter…my clothes too. She thought.
"7.15 seconds." The tracking robot said as she finished the dash. She sighed as she caught her breath. Faster than in middle school, at least. She thought. Aizawa looked towards her. Ochaco Uraraka. Quirk: 「Zero Gravity」. Anything she touches will be unaffected by gravity…but using her power too much will make her queasy. He thought. I shouldn't expect many physical feats from her…
Mina Ashido prepared herself, as the student next to her stood there in a thinking pose. A large metal belt was around his waist. He chuckled as he looked away from the dash pathway. "Heheh…so unimaginative, all of you." He remarked. "Ready…" The tracking robot said. He moved into a ready position, his hands above his head and his back facing towards the path. "If we can use our Quirks..."
"GO!"
No better way than this!
He jumped, firing an energy beam from his belt which propelled him forwards, past Mina, who was running quickly. However, the beam faltered, and he fell to the ground, getting back up as Mina passed him, firing the beam again but failed to finish the dash before she did. "5.51 seconds!" The tracking robot said.
"If I'd fired an instant earlier…my stomach would have exploded." He remarked. What's up with him? Mina thought as she looked towards him. Aizawa glanced towards the student. Yuga Aoyama. Quirk: 「Naval Laser」. He can shoot a laser from his belly button…but his recovery time is restrictive. Quite an odd one. Aizawa thought.
They're pushing their Quirks to their limits. By seeing how much they've improved…I can guess what they're capable of. And what they're not. This is inevitably linked to how creatively they use their abilities.
Bakugo and Midoriya started the dash. Bakugo raised his hands, smiling arrogantly. "EXPLOSIVE SPEED!" He exclaimed, as Midoriya went "Huh"? Bakugo moved his hands back and released explosions from his palms, launching himself forwards and past Midoriya, finishing the dash before him.
"4.13 seconds!" The tracking robot said. Katsuki Bakugo. Quirk: 「Explosion」. Certainly a warrior, though a very arrogant and hot-headed one. I'd honestly prefer if he'd tone his noisy personality down a notch or thirty. Aizawa thought. "7.02 seconds!" The tracking robot said as Midoriya finished the dash. Aizawa was silent.
"What was your record back in middle school, Nava?" Asui asked as she turned towards Milim. She nervously chuckled and scratched the back of her head in response. "Ah…yeah I wasn't allowed to do these activities back then. My Quirk is always active whether I like it or not…so it would interfere with their averages or something. I think it's silly!" Milim responded. "Oh…I see." Asui remarked as she put her finger up to her mouth in thought.
Rimuru started the 50-metres dash, running at her top speed. She took a deep breath in, and prepared herself. "Hydraulic Propulsion!" She exclaimed, before firing a blast of water behind her from her inner storage, launching herself forwards past the other student and finishing the dash. "5.32 seconds." The tracking robot said. "…huh?" Mina remarked as she watched. I thought her Quirk was some kind of body armour…what did she just do? Mina thought.
And then, it was Milim's turn.
"No hard feelings!" She exclaimed cheerfully towards the other student who was doing the dash. She prepared herself, getting ready.
"GO!"
And she sprinted forwards with tremendous speed, bypassing the other student almost instantly. Within seconds, she had crossed and finished the dash. "3.91 seconds." The tracking robot said. Midoriya's eyes widened. T-that was faster than Kacchan! Only Iida was faster than her! What kind of Quirk does she have? He wondered.
Well, that wasn't surprising. Rimuru thought.
Event 2: Grip Strength.
「Body Armour」
The scale-like armour formed around Rimuru's right arm up to the elbow, and she gripped the hand-held device with all her physical power. It was a device that that reads the force her grip exhibits in kilograms. She looked down at the reading.
126 KG.
"Well, that's quite strong…" Rimuru remarked.
"540 KG?! Are you a gorilla? Or an octopus?!" Exclaimed someone as Rimuru turned. Two students were standing in front of a larger student in awe. The larger student had short grey hair, and his face was covered by a mask. He had six large arms, one of which was holding a grip strength device. "Octopus…? Sexy…" One of the other students, a rather short one, muttered.
Then again…
"Hey Rimuru! I'm gonna do the grip strength thing, watch!"
Milim walked over to Rimuru, who turned. Milim was holding a grip strength device. "Go ahead." Rimuru said as Milim looked down at the device. She smiled, before nodding. "Alright, watch this!" Milim exclaimed, gripping the device.
And then it broke.
Ah.
Rimuru narrowed her eyes as she watched Milim walk forwards, holding the ball. They had completed the third and fourth events, standing long jump and side-stepping. Now it was time for the fifth event: throwing. Rimuru had just finished her throw – a total of 462.7 metres. Not bad.
I think Bakugo got around 705 metres, with his explosions…so I did pretty well since I could only use my 「Body Armour」to increase my strength. Rimuru thought. Now, let's see how well Milim will do.
And Milim threw the ball, a BOOM being heard from the sheer force as the ball flew through the air. It landed onto the ground, and Aizawa calculated the distance. He then showed the calculated distance.
"1204.6 metres…" Rimuru muttered as she saw what had been calculated. "Whoa…" Several other students remarked. Milim exclaimed in joy as she ran up towards Rimuru. "Hey, Rimuru, did you see that?! I did great, didn't I?!" Milim exclaimed.
"Yeah…you sure did…" Rimuru responded.
1200 metres…as I said before, walking catastrophe.
Next up was Ochaco Uraraka, or 'levitation girl' as Rimuru had nicknamed her. She held the ball firmly as she stood within the circle. Applying her 「Zero Gravity」Quirk, Uraraka threw the ball, and it went up and up through the air.
And it didn't come down.
"Whoops!" Uraraka remarked. Aizawa held out the calculation, and there was no number.
"INFINITY?!"
"Wow! The infinity symbol actually popped up!"
Well, that's to be expected. She didn't use physical strength there, she just used her anti-gravity Quirk. That ball's going to be in the sky forever, unless that Quirk has a time limit. Rimuru thought. As Uraraka walked away, Izuku Midoriya was final one.
Midoriya…he's been doing very badly in everything. How'd he even pass the entrance exam? Rimuru wondered as she watched him slowly walk to the centre of the practice field, ball in hand. "Midoriya isn't doing very well…" Iida remarked. "Well duh! He's a Quirkless runt!" Bakugo exclaimed, pointing towards Midoriya. Iida turned towards him. "Quirkless?! So you haven't heard about his feats during the entrance exam?!" Iida exclaimed. "Huh?!" Bakugo responded. Rimuru glanced over towards them.
Quirkless? What? And his 'feats'…what could he have done? He doesn't seem physically capable, based off everything we've seen of him so far. Rimuru thought. Midoriya held the ball, preparing himself, and he threw it.
And it fell to the ground.
"46 metres."
Midoriya looked down at his hands in shock. "Huh…but I was trying to use it…" He muttered. Aizawa stepped forwards. "I 'erased' your Quirk." He said. "That ridiculous entrance exam…completely irrational when you consider that someone like you got let in."
Midoriya's eyes widened as he saw Aizawa's scarf separate into a long, cloth-like weapon which was around his neck. A pair of yellow goggles were revealed underneath his scarf. Aizawa's eyes were glowing red. "Erased…? Those goggles…of course!" Midoriya exclaimed.
"You're the Erasure Hero, Eraser Head!"
He nullifies Quirks just by looking at them! The effect wears off when he blinks though…Midoriya thought. The students started to talk among themselves. "Eraser? I've…never heard of him." One said. "I think I've heard his name before! He's an Emitter-type hero!" Another said. Rimuru looked down at her hands.
I wonder what would happen if he used his Quirk on me…would it affect 「Body Armour」or not? It might be able to cancel 「Devouring Goo」as well…I wonder if it could even affect Milim.
Aizawa pointed a single finger towards Midoriya. "I saw it…how you can't control your Quirk. You'd just be incapacitated again. Were you hoping someone would step in to help afterwards?" He asked. "N-no, it's not like that…" Midoriya responded, attempting to step away. However, suddenly Aizawa's scarf reached forwards and wrapped around Midoriya's body, pulling him towards the Erasure Hero.
"Whatever you were planning…it would have inconvenienced those around you. Way back when, a certain hot-blooded hero saved over a thousand people during a disaster. He made himself a legend. You've got the same reckless streak…but you're totally useless after saving a single person." Aizawa stated coldly. He's talking about All Might, the Number One hero…Rimuru thought.
"Izuku Midoriya, you cannot become a hero with that power of yours."
There was a moment of silence.
And then, Aizawa sighed, blinking as he let go of Midoriya with the cloth-like capturing scarf. "You've got your Quirk back…give it another go. Let's get this over with." He said, handing Midoriya the ball as he walked back into the centre of the practice field.
"Are you worried about him? I'm not…worried at all." Aoyama said, putting his hand on Uraraka's shoulder. "And who are you?" She responded. "Seems like he received some special instruction…" Iida remarked. "Yeah. The instruction to leave this school." Bakugo responded bluntly. Midoriya moved into throwing position, and got ready. "You have…" Aizawa begun.
Raising his arm, he moved to throw. "…no chance." Aizawa said.
However, Aizawa's eyes widened as he saw what Midoriya was doing. At the very last moment, Midoriya's finger lit up with a crackle of bright glowing energy. "NOW." Midoriya exclaimed, throwing the ball with a sudden release of tremendous power through his finger tip, the ball being launched into the sky. Rimuru's eyes widened, as did the rest of the students'.
The ball landed, and Aizawa looked down at the distance calculator. Midoriya's finger was seemingly bleeding. "This pain…it's nothing like before!" He muttered. Aizawa's eyes widened as he looked at the calculation.
705.3 metres.
He didn't utilize his full power. He just concentrated it into his finger tip…! Aizawa thought. Midoriya clenched his fist and held it up, looking towards Aizawa. "Sensei…" He begun. "I…can still move." He stated. Aizawa's eyes widened.
"This kid…!"
Uraraka raised her arms up in celebration. "Woo! Now that's a hero-like record if I've ever seen one. Yeah!" She exclaimed. Iida looked closely. "His finger appears to be swollen. Thinking back to the entrance exam…what a strange Quirk…" He remarked. "Stylishly done." Aoyama said. "His power certainly contrasts his appearance…" Rimuru commented.
And Bakugo's mouth, was wide open in shock. Suddenly, he launched himself forwards with his explosions, directly towards Midoriya. "WHAT THE HELL? EXPLAIN YOURSELF, DEKU!" He exclaimed, as Midoriya yelled out in surprise.
However, just before he could get to Midoriya, Aizawa's cloth-like scarf wrapped around Bakugo and constricted his movement. The explosions stopped. "What the…this cloth…it's stiff!" Bakugo exclaimed.
"It's a 'capture weapon' made of carbon fibres and a special alloy wire. Geez, stop using your Quirk already. I'm getting dry eye over here." Aizawa proclaimed coldly, glaring directly towards Bakugo with his eyes glowing red.
Bakugo stopped resisting, as Aizawa let go of him with the capture weapon. "What a waste of time. Prepare for the next event." He said. "Is your finger okay?" Uraraka asked, as Midoriya nodded. "Ah…yeah…" He responded.
That Quirk…so he got the 60 rescue points back in the entrance exam using that? He must have done a serious rescue. Wonder what he did…Rimuru thought. She glanced over towards Milim, however she was too busy looking at nearby flying birds instead of paying attention to the situation. Rimuru chuckled.
Classic Milim.
The events were over. Time for the results.
"Moving along. Time for the results." Aizawa said. Rimuru noticed that Midoriya had an almost frightened expression on his face. Well that makes sense. Besides the throwing event, he did terribly on everything else. If anyone's the one getting expelled, it's probably him…Rimuru thought.
"Your total scores simply reflect your performance in each of the events. Explaining the process would be a waste of time, so all you get are the final rankings." Aizawa said. He then held out a device which activated, projecting a holographic image of the rankings.
"Also, I was lying about expelling someone."
?!
"That was a rational deception…meant to bring out the best in all of you." Aizawa said, a massive sinister smile on his face. "WHAAAAAAT?!" Midoriya, Uraraka and Iida all exclaimed at the same time. "Well of course it was a lie…didn't take much to figure that out." One female student remarked.
"Anyway, we're done here. Your documents about the curriculum and such are back in the classroom. Give them a look." Aizawa said. He turned towards Midoriya. "Midoriya. Have Recovery Girl fix you up. Tomorrow's trials aren't gonna be any easier." Aizawa said as he handed Midoriya a sheet of paper. He then walked off.
