Thanks to everyone for their support on the story! Very appreciated!

Anyways, time for chapter 5!

Chapter 5: Quirk Apprehension Test

Aizawa stared at everyone from his sleeping bag and watched as each of them introduced themselves one-by-one. After they were done, he pressed a button and lockers came out of the walls. The students were surprised as they noticed said lockers opened and they saw PE uniforms in them.

"Once you find the uniform with your name on it, change into them in your respected changing rooms and assemble at the practice field." Aizawa said and left with his sleeping bag. Everyone scattered to find their uniforms and left to go change. Once he was finished, Izuku made his way over to the practice field and was passed by Tenya as he zoomed on by everyone. Momo saw Izuku and ran up to him, and smiled as she matched his pace. They walked in silence as they made it to the field, seeing Tenya, Katsuki, Shoto, Mashirao, and Toru already on the field with Aizawa still in his sleeping bag. He grunted and looked at the two of them.

"Four minutes and thirty-seven seconds late, disappointing for the hero course." Aizawa said and continued to berate everyone as they arrived at the field, with Yuga being last. He clocked in at ten minutes and fifty-six seconds late. He gazed at all of his students and got out of his sleeping bag.

"We will be doing a series of tests that will rank based off of scores you get here. Make sure you don't hold back, otherwise you might as well get out of here. Also, the person who scores the lowest will be removed from the class and will be sent to general studies." People began to panic and whisper to each other. Izuku looked at everyone before going into thought.

'I highly doubt that he's being serious about the expulsion. He's probably using it as a deception in order for us to give these tests our all. Pretty effective as it has caused a stir. Looks like Momo has figured it was ruse too.' Izuku noticed that Momo had mouthed that he was lying about the expulsion, and nodded it to her. He kept it to himself and saw Aizawa was staring at him, his eyes narrowed almost into slits. He called him over and handed him a ball.

"Midoriya, not only did get full marks on your written exam, you placed 1st in the practical exam and received one of, if not, the highest score in the history of the entrance exam, very well done. However, I don't care about that. Now, what was your ball throw without using your quirk?" Aizawa said as he narrowed his eyes at the young boy. People looked at the green-haired boy in shock. Momo looked at him with shock, but was replaced by loving smile as she was impressed by his score. Katsuki, on the other hand, was very pissed as he placed second, right behind Deku. Hearing what Aizawa, Izuku gulped before saying that it was only 54.37 meters, causing laughter from Katsuki. He was quickly quieted by Tenya and Izuku silently thanked him before getting ready to throw it, but Aizawa grabbed the ball from him.

"If you hold back like you did in the practical exam, you don't qualify to be a hero. Now, the Pitch test is last. Go do the other tests first, Midoriya." Aizawa said lazily before assessing everyone and their potential. Izuku sighed before dropping the ball and running over to the meter dash as everyone already had made their way over to it. At the end of the track was a time tracker as it recorded the times of each person. He watched as Momo and the girl named Kyoka ran, their times were 5.23 seconds and 5.54 seconds respectively. Aizawa was rather impressed and marked them down on a record sheet.

"Iida, Kirishima, you're up next." Both of them got ready and when Aizawa said go, Tenya used his quirk and blasted through the fifty meters and Eijiro finished a couple of seconds later, finishing at 2.11 seconds and 5.01 seconds. Izuku and Katsuki went to the line and got into their positions, waiting for the signal to go. Mini explosions fired off as Katsuki was eager to destroy Izuku.

"I'm going to crush you, Deku!" Katsuki said as his explosions grew more and more. Izuku just sighed and powered OFA through his legs. He put in 10% as it was enough to blast right by Kacchan. Aizawa watched with intensity, and soon signaled them to go. Katsuki began to use his explosions as a booster and was already half-way.

"In your face, you useless piece of-!" He said and turned only to see Izuku not there. He looked forwards only to see him already at other end. He could only stare in shock as he finished the test. He suddenly became very angry and pushed Tenya and Ochaco.

"The fuck was that?! You have a goddamn quirk now?!" Katsuki gripped Izuku's shirt with one hand as he threatened him with the other. The other students went over and tried to pry him off of Izuku. They managed to pry him off and Katsuki cursed and glared at his former best-friend. Aizawa watched with interest as he recorded Izuku's and Katsuki's times.

"0.13 seconds and 3.01 seconds. Very interesting..." He said as he studied Izuku. He had exceeded what Aizawa thought his time would be.

After, doing the other tests, with Izuku getting top score on all of them. From the side-jumps to the long jump, Izuku was dominating all the tests. His classmates were all impressed as he broke the grip strength device. Momo was looking at him with admiration as she ended up getting second on most of the tests. Katsuki, on the other hand, was downright pissed as he was inferior to Deku, and that pissed him off. He glared at Deku as he was talking to Denki and Mezo about there scores on the grip strength.

"I'm impressed with your quirk, Midoriya." Mezo said to Izuku.

"Yeah, man. It's still pretty impressive even though I witnessed it first hand." Denki said as he wrapped around his shoulder.

"It's just a strength and speed enhancement quirk, and please, call me Izuku. We are going to be in the same class for these three years." Izuku said as he rubbed the back of his head as he offered Mezo to be on first-name basis. Mezo nodded and Denki agreed with Izuku.

"Then please, call me Mezo." The three continued to talk about other stuff. Mashirao and Toru also joined in on the three's conversation about stuff in general. Everyone was mingling amongst themselves as Aizawa went over the scores thus far. Momo was talking with Jiro and Mina about their hobbies, while Eijiro, Hanta, and Mineta were talking about the entrance exams. Shoto and Katsuki were away from the group and waited for the final test to begin.

"Alright, everyone. It's time for the pitch test. Bakugo, you go first." Aizawa said and handed the ball over to him. The foul-mouthed boy held the ball and reeled his arm back.

"DIE!" Katsuki sent the ball flying as he used the explosion of his quirk to quickly propel the ball up into air, everyone stared as it finally hit the ground. Aizawa held up a screen and wrote the number down on the record sheet.

"705.0 meters. Impressive." He said and asked Tenya to grab the ball. Soon after, everyone went up once it was their turn and threw the ball. Momo had made a cannon, after all the boys in the class looked away and got 810 meters, and Ochaco got the score infinity as her she touched it and it flew up, and never came down. Aizawa gave her an infinity and watched as Izuku was next. He took the ball and powered up his arm and threw with all his might, only for the ball to go only a couple of meters.

"What the-?" Izuku stared at the ball.

"I did it. I erased your quirk at the last second. You weren't giving your full power in that throw." He turned to see Aizawa with goggles and his scarf moving about. The green-haired looked with shock, but then looked over Aizawa and gasped before going into fan-boy mode.

"You're the erasure hero who is underground and usually doesn't appear in the public eye. You're Eraserhead!" Izuku said giddly as he really liked Eraserhead. Aizawa sighed and nodded before motioning for Izuku to throw again.

"Yes, now throw the ball again, and use your full power." Izuku nodded before power OFA through his body and went into 5% Full Cowling. Green lightning danced around his body and he reeled back his arm and threw the ball with all of his might. A sonic boom rang trough the group as a trail of smoke was left behind the ball. He watched the ball go out of view and smiled, only to feel a sharp pain in his right arm. He looked to see his arm damaged, like when he first started to train OFA, and the sleeve was also torn.

'I guess I used too much, damn, it hurts really bad.' Izuku gritted his teeth in pain, blood started to drip down his arm. He heard footsteps as he saw Momo and a couple other people run up to him. Momo made bandages and a bottle of disinfectant and looked at him with worry and a hint of fear, but was shrouded by anger. She looked really scary as she wrapped his arms in bandages after she disinfected it. Izuku thanked her as he sat down and waited for his score, and she sat down beside him. People were voicing their concerns for him, but he assured them that he was fine. Momo frowned as she heard him say that the injuries were normal, and grew even more worried. She felt Izuku secretly gripped her hand and gently squeezed it causing her to slowly calm down and she squeezed his hand to. With the help of Momo and Ochaco, he managed to get on his feet and looked at Aizawa.

"How was that, Mr. Aizawa." Aizawa looked at the boy and back at the screen before recording it on the sheet.

"2,123 meters...Very interesting." He said with a wide grin on his face, which was pretty creepy. Everyone was shocked at the score of his throw, and looked at the green-haired boy with amazement. Only Katsuki growled as he lost against Izuku in all of the tests, and was pissed at basically everything. Aizawa was tallying up the rankings, so everyone began to converse amongst themselves. Momo was talking to Kyoka and Denki, she had a big smile on her face. Smiling at her happiness, Izuku started to have a mental talk with Dawn about the tests, and stuff like that.

"Your other mentor was watching the tests, you know?" Dawn pointed out and Izuku gave a confused look before glancing around until he spotted his mentor peeking behind a corner. He sweat-dropped when All-Might waved at him and held his finger to his mouth, signaling him to be quiet. He nodded and slowly made his way back to Aizawa, continuing his conversation with Dawn. After everyone arrived, Aizawa did a brief glance and then displayed the rankings on a hologram.

1st: Izuku Midoriya

2nd: Momo Yaoyorozu

3rd: Shoto Todoroki

(Everyone else, their rank is one below, so Bakugo was 3rd canonly, in this he will be 4th. Just letting you know...)

Minoru looked at his name being last and looked at the ground. He was about to cry as everyone looked at him with pity. Izuku still felt bad, even though he made himself to be a pervert, and for the fact that it as a tactical ruse. Aizawa looked at everyone before breaking into a wide-grin, which looked even more creepy than before.

"As for the expulsion, it was a lie!" Minoru's eyes went wide as he quickly got up and looked at Aizawa.

"WHAT?!" Everyone yelled out. Momo sighed and told her classmates it was a ruse in order for them to do their best. Everyone looked at her with shock and surprised, and she pointed to Izuku and told them that he knew it was one as well. They all turned to him and he nodded, causing all of them to break down.

Katsuki didn't care about what was going on, nor cared that the expulsion was a ruse. He was mad about what appeared on the hologram. Katsuki's anger grew as he whirled over to see Izuku and Momo talking about the rankings. He stalked his way over to him, pushing people to the side as he made his way over to Izuku. Momo glanced over her shoulder and saw Katsuki growling and firing off explosions. She gripped Izuku's shoulder and turned him around to see the same thing.

"Fucking Deku, how the hell did you beat me?! How the hell do you have a quirk?!" He yelled at him, the explosions growing more and more intense as he was a couple of feet from his target. Izuku prepared himself as he knew things could go bad, and stood in front of Momo. He then got into a fighting stance, just in case he actually attacked, he didn't want Momo hurt. He winced in pain as his right arm throbbed, but still maintained his position.

"I don't think it's necessary for you to know, Kacchan." Izuku said, causing Katsuki to snarl and charge straight at him, only to be wrapped in a cloth or sorts. Izuku stared in awe as he saw Aizawa restraining him, and he was using his quirk.

"Dammit, let me go!" Katsuki yelled as he struggled to escape, but to no avail. Aizawa sighed and held him down and looked Izuku.

"Stop wasting your time. Midoriya, go get your arm checked. Yaoyorozu, go with him as you two seem really close." He plainly said and dragged Katsuki towards him. Izuku and Momo nodded and left the field to go to the infirmary. It was a silent walk as made their way, he noticed his companion giving him side-glances and would open her mouth, only to close it. It continued for quite awhile ntil he stopped walking, causing Momo to stop and she turned around.

"Something wrong?" She asked as she made her way over to him, concern in her onyx eyes.

"Momo, is there something you want to talk about? You've been opening and closing your mouth for some time now." Her eyes widened and she blushed a bit. She looked at him before sighing and leaned against the wall of the building.

"What's your relationship with Bakugo? You two seem to have some type of relationship, and it doesn't look like the friendly kind. And why does he call you Deku?" Momo asked as she stared Izuku, noticing how he tensed up from her questions.

"I'm sorry! I just wanted to-!" Momo began to ramble, but Izuku stopped her and leaned on the wall too. She looked at him with curiosity and scooted closer to him until their shoulders touched, causing both to blush. He sighed before explaining everything to her, from him being his best-friend to him being bullied by Kacchan and his class. The more he talked about it, the more Momo grew angrier she got as he went over the part where they ridiculed him, she balled her fists. Izuku stopped telling the story as he noticed her anger and grabbed her balled-up fists. She looked at him and calmed down, she breathed in and out before locking eyes with him.

"Why do you consider him a friend still? After all the things he did, you still think he is one?" She asked. He looked at her before sighing and looked away from her.

"I...can't really describe it myself. In reality, I don't know...I just think he still is." Momo looked at him before enveloping him in a hug. He went stiff before relaxing and started to rub her back. She just held on tighter, until she felt his right arm and recoiled back to see blood bleeding through the bandages. Izuku grabbed her and told her to relax and began healing his wound with his quirk. Once he was done, he fell onto his knees and was breathing heavily. Momo ran up to him with concern on her face.

"Are you okay?!" She said and began to unwrap the bandages, only to see no blood and the wounds seemed healed enough, but there were still some injuries. And he seemed out of it.

"Yeah...don't worry about...it..." Izuku managed to sputter out.

'Damn, it's been awhile since I have used my healing ability, but it drained me this much? Looks like I need to train the ability more from now on.' He thought before catching his breath and stood back up, again with the help of Momo and soon arrived to the infirmary.

Timeskip: An hour later...

After getting yelled at by Recovery Girl, the duo left the room and began to walk back to the class. They engaged in small talk as they walked back. Once they got back to the classroom, people swarmed Izuku and asked if he was okay. He nodded and went back to his seat and Momo followed along. She glared at Katsuki, who was staring out the window, a frown still present on his face. She looked away and went back to her seat. Soon after, Aizawa appeared and told them that they were dismissed and soon everyone began to leave the room. Izuku packed his bag and left the room with Momo. They were walking towards the gate when Izuku asked her if she wanted to get some Yakiniku and she nodded.

"Hey, can we join too?" Both of them turned around and saw Eijiro, Denki, Ochaco, Tenya, Mina, and Kyoka walking up to them. Izuku looked at Momo and she nodded.

"Sure." Izuku said and both Eijiro and Denki smiled and fist-bumped each other.

"Yes! We're having some barbecue tonight!" Denki said and they all walked to the nearest restaurant. Once they got there, they were seated with boys together and girls together. They were across from each other. They began to order what they wanted and began to talk about stuff. Izuku was talking with Tenya about stuff they liked to do.

"Hey, Izuku, are you and Momo dating?" Denki asked causing Izuku to spit out water and looked at him with bewilderment. His face was bright red as he whispered loudly to the table.

"How did you know?!"

"It was quite easy to discern the relation between you two." Tenya said as he took a sip of his water. Izuku looked at Denki and Eiiro, who nodded in confirmation, and he deflated in his seat and laid his head down on the table.

"Woah, ease up dude, we were just curious. Pretty cool you have a girlfriend, and a beautiful one at that. Right?" Eijiro said to him as he tried to comfort him. Izuku brought his head up and ran his hand through his hair.

"We wanted to keep it a secret for as log as possible." Izuku explained to the table and they all agreed not to bring it up. They all smiled at each other and laughed when Tenya reprimanded Denki for being too loud, and they got into a fight on who was louder. It was an enjoyable time at the boy's side.

At the girl's side, they watched as the Tenya grabbed Denki's chopsticks and told him not to play with them. They sighed and went back to their conversation about the apprehension test.

"Wow, congrats on getting second, Yaoyorozu." Kyoka said as she played with her jacks.

"Thank you, and please, call me Momo. We are all friends, are we not?" Momo said to the girls and they nodded. Mina was playing with her straw and decided to spice up the conversation.

"I think the real thing that needs to be brought up is Izuku being totally ripped! I mean, although he is rather short compared to some of us and hell, you're taller than him Momo, he seems to workout a lot." Mina said as she looked at everyone's expression and saw they were all blushing, especially Momo as she tried to hide it, but to no avail. Mina raised an eyebrow and got Momo's attention.

"Hey Momo, you wouldn't happen to like Izuku like that, hmm?" Mina teased and looked Momo in the eyes.

"O-of course not! W-why would you say something l-like that?" Momo exclaimed a bit too quickly. A smile tugged at Mina's face as she looked over at Izuku as he was laughing along with Eijiro as Denki and Tenya were going back and forth over some topic.

"Is that so? Then, I can just ask him out right no-" Mina said, but Momo smacked her hands on the table, causing it to shake.

"You will not do that!" Momo said loudly and huffed a bit before looking up and seeing Mina's eyes wide open. She turned to see the boys were also staring at her, in fact, everyone was staring at her. Her face went red with embarrassment, and she quickly apologized before sitting back down. She buried her face in her hands and let out a muffled scream. Ochaco and Kyoka awkwardly patted her back and glared at Mina, who looked confused.

"What?" Mina asked as they gave disapproving looks at her.

"You didn't have to go that far. It was pretty clear once you started talking about Izuku." Ochaco said and sipped her water from her straw. Mina grew confused until she finally put two and two together.

"You actually like him?!" Mina looked at Momo, who brought her face out of her hands and blushed slightly at the question.

"Actually...we're dating..." Shock rang through the girls as they stared at her in shock.

"Wait. seriously? I thought you liked him!" Kyoka said as Momo nodded and told everything from when they first met to their times of Christmas. The girls grew more and more curious.

"Wow! It sounds like you two have a wonderful relationship." Ochaco said, clasping her hands together. Mina and Kyoka agreed and wished her only the best wold come. Momo thanked them and soon, the food came and they began to place the meat onto the electric grill. They breathed in the scent of the meat being cooked and began to eat the meet.

"Wow, this meat is good!" Mina said as she stuffed her mouth with the meat and rice. The other girls agreed and began to cook some more as they ran out, mostly thanks to Mina.

The boys were also having a good time as they ate and laughed about stuff. Tenya placed more meat down onto the grill and they waited for it to be cooked. They relished the sizzling sound of the meat and the smell of it was mouth-watering.

"Oh man, this place rocks! Maybe we should make this a thing, what do you guys think?" Denki said as he took a bite of meat and moaned in delight.

"I think that is a splendid idea!" Tenya answered and was followed by Izuku and Eijiro saying it's a good idea. They nodded and ate until the couldn't anymore.

After they finished their food, they paid for themselves and walked out.

"Man, that was fun. We should totally do that again!" Everyone nodded and soon began to say their goodbyes and went their separate ways, leaving Izuku and Momo by themselves. They walked to an intersection and waited for the light to signal that they can go. Momo grabbed his arm and snuggled it, causing his face to turn bright red, but he held her close.

"How was that?" He asked her as they crossed the street and crossed it again to go to her house.

"It was really fun, and I can assume it was the same for you?" She said with a playful attitude. He laughed and nodded as they got to her house. She smiled and kissed him on the lips for a brief moment. They parted away, both of their faces were flushed and red, and they smiled. Hugging one more time, she waved him goodbye and entered her house. He smiled and walked back home.

He got back home and immediately crashed into his bed. He got a text, but was too tired to deal with it then, so he opened it and he saw a picture of him and Momo kissing in the background. In the foreground was All-Might with his wide grin on his face as he gave a thumbs-up. Izuku then read the text that came with it.

"Way to go my boy! Keep up the good work!" Izuku read it out loud and sighed. He imagined All-Might saying it, and he left a thumbs-up emoji too. He shook his head at his mentor's antics and went to sleep. His first day was eventful, but not unpleasant to say the least...

And finished! I had a fun time making this chapter, especially with the restaurant scene as it happened to me before, and it was really funny recreating it.

Anyways, this was a rather short chapter compared to the other chapters, but I felt like it shouldn't have been too long.

As I said before, school is picking up, so don't assume a new chapter is going to be up as my update schedule will be messed, so bear with it.

Still looking for a beta-reader, and to be honest, the requirements to be a beta-reader on this website sucks. I appreciate the people that wanted to be a beta-reader.

I also want suggestions for a name change for The Shining. Should I keep it that, or should I use a different name? Please, leaves suggestions in the review section. I'll most likely choose the most popular one, or the one I like the most.

Thanks for reading my story, and sorry if there is grammar issues or spelling errors.

See you guys, in the next chapter!
