A couple of weeks later, Robaato is heading to his new school for the first time since the entrance exams. He's wearing his school uniform, and in his opinion, it makes him look cool compared to his old school uniform. When arriving at the gates, he pauses
"I wonder who's going to be in my class? It's called 1-A, but I wonder where that is." I wonder to myself.
There's a short, brunette in front of me, and I walk up to her.
"Do you know where class 1-A is?" I ask. She turns her head, and of course, she's cute.
"Oh, that's my class! I'm not sure, but we can go together if you want. I'm Uraraka. What's your name?"
"Umm..." oh no, not this again. "My name is Robaato," I told her.
She turns then, jumping with excitement. She really is cute, is everyone here going to be like a model or something? I mean, I'm not complaining but still...
"Oh wow, I recognize your name. You got first on the entrance exam, didn't you? I heard you saved some people from getting crushed, that's awesome!" This girl really had a lot of energy, but it was so cute I didn't care.
"Um, yeah, that was me. I couldn't have done it without the help of this person named Kirishima, though. Also, I think I know who you are too. Did you get fourth on the entrance exam, Uraraka?"
"Yes, but it was a total accident. I had no idea that rescue points were a thing, crazy huh?" She said happily.
We continued to talk as we were guided to class 1-A. We came up to the door, and were surprised at how large it was. Were our classmates going to be this big? They made even me look small.
When we opened the door, Uraraka rushed over to a small kid with green hair and freckles. She started bouncing around him happily, and I couldn't help but smile. I looked around the classroom and saw kids of all shapes and sizes. There was a boy with tons of arms and stuff, a girl that was pink, a short kid with what looked like grapes on his head, and... well, you get it.
I also saw Kirishima, which was totally awesome, but I decided that I should introduce myself to the other students before I talk to Kirishima.
Just as I was about to do so, I turned to see a yellow sleeping bag on the floor. The top unzipped to reveal a scraggly looking man who was eating... applesauce?
He started talking about how we were going to be heroes, and that we shouldn't be making friends right now, but all I could think about is how this man was most likely our teacher. Weren't our teachers supposed to be heroes?
We all sat down in our seats. Mine was in the back, two seats behind Kirishima and right next to Uraraka. I was never going to focus in class. The teacher then introduced himself as Mr Aizawa and told us to change into our PE uniforms and meet him outside.
Once we were all changed and where he had asked us to meet, he told us that we were going to have a quirk apprehension test, and the person in last place would be deemed to have no potential, thus removed from the school. Great.
"That's not fair, Mr Aizawa!" exclaimed Uraraka. Others nodded and voiced their agreements with her.
"Do you think life is fair?" stated Mr Aizawa. Oh god, he was one of these people.
We then began the tests.
Test 1: 50-meter dash
I didn't know what I could do for this test, but I was suddenly struck with a great idea. I know it was kind of cheating, but Mr Aizawa is the one who said life isn't fair, so whatever. I knew this would also help the person I was running with, which just happened to be Kirishima, so I didn't care. I didn't want him to get kicked out.
Just as the voice told us to begin, I extended one of my hands at the camera looking device that told us how quickly we had moved 50 meters. I pointed another at a pebble to the right of Kirishima. I then swapped them, an audible 'pop' could be heard, and then "1.68 seconds" was also heard.
Everyone looked at me in shock. Were they mad I 'cheated'?
"What was that?" someone asked.
"Isn't that the kid who got first on the entrance exam? What's his quirk?" asked someone else.
"Shut it, everyone," started Mr Aizawa. "Robaato, was it? That was a good usage of your quirk, I'll allow you to keep your score. However, Kirishima has to go again."
I gave Kirishima a sympathetic smile, and he gave me a thumbs up back. At least he wasn't mad at me or something.
So far so good.
Test 2 - Grip Strength
I literally could not think of one way to use my quirk effectively in this test. The only thing that could possibly work is maybe swapping a part of this machine out or something, but I didn't know these kinds of things well enough to do that.
I just had to go with my normal grip strength, which ended up being 44.8 kg. I mean, it wasn't horrible, but I would have to step up my game.
I saw Kirishima shout with excitement, so I was happy he did well. Uraraka seemed happy too. That was good.
Test 3 - Long Jump
This was yet another test I couldn't do anything in. I just had to do my best and jump. I did decent, but really was starting to worry.
Test 4 - Repeated Side Jumps
Once again, I couldn't do anything about this test. I really needed to learn how to swap myself with objects, if that was even possible. I was really starting to see how situational my quirk was, and was wondering if my first place on the entrance exam was just a fluke.
Test 5 - Ball Throw
Ok, this is something I could work with. When it was my turn to go up to the circle, I had a good idea in my head on how to do well on this test. I put the ball on the floor, in the circle, and pointed one of my hands towards the cloud as far away as I could see, and another at the ball. I then clenched my fists. Instantly, a huge cloud enveloped everyone watching, myself included. I walked out of the circle and swapped the cloud with a rock I could see a little bit away so that we could all see again.
I then saw Mr Aizawa hold up my score, which was 3250.6 meters. Awesome! I still had a chance to do well.
Results
After the rest of the tests, which I did decently on, we were all showed a screen with our scores on it. I looked around and saw my name in 5th place, which was surprising to me. I only really did good in two of the tests.
I also saw Kirishima and Uraraka's names, which were thankfully not in last place. The person who was was a boy named Izuku Midoriya, and well I felt bad for him, I couldn't do anything about it. All I could do was walk over to him and tell him I was sorry, which I felt made it worse somehow.
It was then revealed that the test was fake - of course, it was - and that Mr Aizawa told us one of us would be removed to motivate us. I was starting to like this guy a little bit more.
