"Good question, Bakugou. How didI do that? Maybe if you stop being an adshole for more than 39 seconds you'll figure it out."Matt turned to the class, and smirked at Bakugou.

Bakugou looked ready to just about kill Matt, but let it go and yelled at everyone to get a move on. Matt snickered at started for the rest of the tests.

After about 30 minutes of watching others compete, competing, and showing off, all under the threat of expulsion, Matt knew that he was safe. Erin was too. It was Tsuyu and Izuku he was worried about.

Despite only knowing him for a few hours, Matt liked Izuku. He was timid and shy on the outside, but underneath held a fire to protect people and to be a real hero. A hero like All Might.

Speaking of All Might, his and Izuku's quirks were shockingly similar. Both were strength-enhancing quirks, allowing for high speed movement, powerful attacks, and making a terrifying power. But the similarities ended their.

While All Might took no damage from his quirk, Izuku's body took the physical backlash of each attack he threw. It was like his body was in a constant All or nothing mode. Maybe with practice he could control how much strength he could shoot off, butfor
now, he was a glass cannon.

Matt was shook out of his musings when he noticed Tsuyu being called up to throw the ball. She wrapped her tongue around the ball, started spinning around, and threw it with her tongue

677.45 meters. Not bad.

Tsuyu came bounding back and Erin congratulated her.

"Good job Tsu, that was a good throw." Matt complimented. "Not as good as mine, but hey, win some, lose some."

Tsuyu rolled her eyes and looked at the last person coming up. Izuku. He was last in everything.

"Uh-oh... this isn't gonna be pretty... Izukumay just be kicked out, guys." Matt covered his eyes as he said this. "Too bad, too. I was starting to like the kid. But if Aizawa-Sensei is serious about this, Izuku's gone."

As Izuku wound up, he was stopped by bandages wrapping around his body. He cried out in shock, before he was zipped in front of Aizawa-Sensei. Aizawa' eyes were red, and his hair was shooting straight up.

"...It's impossible."

"Huh?"

"It's impossible that a kid like you got into this academy at all with your quirk." Aizawa was glaring at Izuku, who was looking at his teacher with fear in his eyes. "Your quirk is a one-and-done deal. Use it for something, and your body gets destroyed."

"B-but..."

"BUT NOTHING!"

"Eep!" Izuku shut his mouth after that.

Off in the sidelines, Erin was about ready to get into action to stop this. Her cupped palms filled with water. She was stopped by Matt's hand on her shoulder. He was looking at Aizawa with a look that she couldn't place, but got the message and deactivated
/her powers.

"Ok, look, I'll give you one more shot with this, kid. Blow it, or injure yourself to badly, and you'll be expelled, okay?" At Izuku's frantic nodding, Aizawa deactivated his quirk, and Izuku went to pick up the ball for one more shot, if he wasn't stopped
/by Matt.

"Listen, Izuku, you need to activate your quirk at the last possible second. Your quirk isa one-and-done deal. If you use your finger, you'll be fine."

"Good idea Matthew, I will!" At Matt's nod, Izuku ran towards the pitching stand. Izuku wound up, breathed in, and started to throw the ball.

Matt was watching as Izuku kept the ball in his hand, until it went towards the tip of his finger. His finger flowed with a red, vein-like light, the. He then released theball, which exploded upwards into motion.

Matt was almost knocked back by the force of the throw, but managed to keep his ground at the last possible second. Everyone else wasn't so lucky, and was knocked to the ground.
