Chapter 3
[ Boot camp I ]
Walking through the halls of U.A., Izuku followed his mini map to the objective; displayed as a blue hexagon. After a couple of turns, he stood in front of a large door, fit for people of any size; the letters 1-A were painted in bold red.
From the inside, he could hear multiple conversations, but one caught his attention. Someone was arguing with Bakugou; nonetheless, he opened the door and entered; His HUD marked 17 people and displayed all relevant information on them.
"REMOVE YOUR FOOT FROM THE DESK! SUCH AN ACTION IS AN INSULT TO THOSE WHO CAME TO U.A. BEFORE US AS WELL AS THE CRAFTSMEN WHO MADE THE DESK!" A blue-haired teen yelled at Bakugou, while the blond had a wicked grin.
"LIKE I CARE. WHAT MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE YOU FROM, YOU EXTRA?"
"I'm from Somei Private Academy. My NAME is Tenya Ida, not Extra."
"SOMEI?! A STUCK UP ELITIST, THEN? NO WONDER YOU GOT A STICK UP YOUR ASS!"
Tenya gasped in shock, "You're awful. Do you really wish to become a HERO?" They continued fighting, un-noticing of the happenings around them, and the ever-growing crowd.
'I'll just sit down.' Izuku walked to the back of the room; finding his seat behind Bakugou.
A moment passed, and his HUD picked up two new presences; a brown-haired girl and someone behind her. She looked around anxiously, her elevated heart rate was displayed above her profile.
URARAKA OCHAKO
- AGE 15
- QUIRK: ZERO GRAVITY
- HR-(108 bpm)
When she sat down, at the back of the class, a yellow caterpillar rose from the floor, and it seemed that only he and three others noticed that.
About a minute later everyone slowly took notice and quieted down;
"It took you 47 seconds to quiet down; that's at least 4 dead civilians."
A lazy voice came from the caterpillar as it unzipped the front, revealing an exhausted man with unkempt black hair, dull red eyes, black tactical clothing, and a white scarf.
"Good morning, my name is Shota Aizawa; I'll be you're homeroom teacher for the next three years, now…" He pulled out a stack of twenty uniforms from under the podium, "...Dress in these and meet me outside."
"Excuse me, sir !?. Aren't we supposed to go to orientation?" Uraraka asked and got an immediate answer. "Here in the Heroics course, you don't have time for nonsense like orientation, your every second here is precious. So get a move on it." And he exited the room.
Outside, on the training field, the students made a line, and as the smallest of them caught up, Aizawa clicked a device in his hand.
"Good, you're on time. Now let's get into this." He pointed to his side, and a hologram appeared, eight different tests appearing in a column. "You'll be performing a quirk assessment test by completing the eight basic exercises. You've all done them in middle school."
The class seemed to be excited at that. "Finally we can use our quirks." "Yeah man, It's been forever."
"Yayorozu, you got the highest score on the exam. How far was your softball throw." The dark-haired girl stepped up, "48 meters, sir" As she said that, Aizawa threw her a ball.
"Step in the ring over there, and throw it as far as you can using your quirk."
Stepping into the ring, she pulled up her shirt emanating a rainbow glow, and a canon popped out. Loading it with the ball, and a casing from the back she fired it.
After the noise settled, the students waited for a bit, and then Aizawa's phone beeped.
'3187.8 m'
"It's important for us to know our limits. That's the first step to becoming a good hero."
"WHOA! THIS IS AWESOME!"
"OVER 3 KILOMETERS, THAT'S CRAZY"
Aizawas expression darkened, his eyes becoming cold. "... Awesome you say?" The air around them stilled, a chill going up their backs.
"You think being a hero is fun and games… right." The class was in silence. "The one with the lowest score across all eight tests will be judged HOPELESS and will be expelled."
The class erupted in protest; Izuku observed them all, most notably Mineta, the one with the grape hair, as he cried in protest.
"How will I ever get the chicks if I'll be expelled."
Straightening his posture, Aizawa adorned a mad grin. "How's that for awesome, PLUS ULTRA right."
Suddenly Ochako stepped forward. "Hey, it's only the first day! That's totally unfair!"
Aizawa made direct eye contact with her, and Ochako found herself staring at a demon. "Natural disasters, highway pileups, villains… unfairness is everywhere; It's a hero's job to fight it. And if you can't handle it, then get out." He scanned them over.
"If you thought you'd coast right through U.A. then you'll be in for a surprise cuz we'll run you through the wringer. That's Plus Ultra. Use your strength to surpass every challenge in your way and BRING IT."
Giving them a pep talk, Aizawa noticed that the class looked more determined. 'Good!'
"Now, line up! The demonstration is over."
Test 1: 50-Meter Dash:
Tenya and Tsuyu Asui, a frog-like girl lined up at the start.
'!BANG!' "GO!"
Tenya activated his quirk, the mini engine in his calves revving up, and sending him into a sprint.
'3.02 seconds.'
Tsu followed close by with her hopping.
'5.47 seconds.'
FILES ADDED TO DATABASE

- QUIRK: ENGINE (TYPE- MUTATION)

Next up were Ojiro and Uraraka, getting 6.78s and 7.03 respectively.
UPDATING PROFILE ADDING TO FILE [QUIRKS]
After a few more passed; It was Izuku and Bakugou's turn. "You're gonna eat my dust Deku!" Getting a glance at Bakugou, Izuku noticed that the blond by was quite a bit more muscular, particularly in the shoulders.
"Let's see about that." He responded as his body was enveloped in the nanosuit, the black muscles pulsing blue once.
MAXIMUM POWER MODE ACTIVATED
'!BANG!' "GO!"
Izuku started with a jump, destroying the pavement under him, while Bakugou began flying. For the first second, they were neck and neck, but Izuku got the upper hand. Spreading up dramatically.
Izuku passed the finish line, skidding to a stop.
'2.3 seconds.'
And two seconds later Bakugou finished with a scowl on his face. "I'LL BEAT YOU NEXT TIME YOU NERD!'
Test 2: Grip strength.
"650 KG?! Are you an octopus or a vice grip" Izuku looked to the side, the voice belonging to Hanta Sero; commenting on Shoji's result.
Looking back at the apparatus in his hand, he squeezed, his arm glowed blue and the handle of the device was squashed.
From the sidelines, Aizawa sighed and wrist down 4000 kg. Getting the same score as Yayorozu.
Test 3: Standing long jump.
From Bakugou using his explosions to Uraraka floating over the sand pit, everyone used their quirk creatively. Standing in front of the pit Izuku crouched, his legs glowing blue, and like a spring he leaped, cracking the pavement below.
He cleared the 15-meter sand pit and then some.
Test 4: Sidestepping.
They were all beaten out by Mineta, who was using the strange properties of his quirk to his advantage.
He tied for second with Mina, a pink-skinned girl with an equally bright personality.
Test 5: Softball throw.
Like the test before, Uraraka dominated it; Getting an infinity.
Angered by being constantly beaten or tied; Bakugou angrily grabbed the ball and with a "DIE!" Threw the ball with a massive explosion.
'Beep!'
'847.68 m'
"AAAAAAGGGHHHHAAAAAA" He stomped back, allowing Izuku to go next.
'Now let's see here...' He thought to himself. 'Ah, perfect!'
CALCULATING TRAJECTORY, OPTIMAL IMPACT TIME ADJUSTED.
ADJUSTING POWER OUTPUT - 36%.
For Izuku, a red circle appeared over the ball, and numbers were displayed alongside it. Taking a breath he wound up his arm, and threw the ball, he immediately pointed his arm at the flying object.
His arm transformed into the bolt sniper; receiving some "wows!" in the process. "Dude, that's sick, what's your quirk?" The red-haired boy, Kirishima, asked.
"Nanomachines,'(son)' " Izuku said, face trained on the still-flying ball. And after a moment, the sniper roared to life, shooting a supercharged bolt of electricity, that propelled the ball even further.
'Beep!'
'2072.67 m'
"Heh." He smirked and returned to the line.
While waiting for everyone to finish, a dot appeared on his mini-map. So turning around he zoomed in and found All Might staring at them.
'Wait-What! All Might, what's he doing here!?'
He waved at the hero, and he got a wave back, though All Might pressed a finger to his mouth.
"My mouth is sealed' Izuku said to himself as he mimed zipping his mouth shut.
"Hiya, whatcha looking at." Uraraka suddenly appeared next to him.
"Just sightseeing, I mean we're in U.A. It's hard to believe."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. By the way, I'm Uraraka Ochako, nice to meet you."
"Izuku Midoriya, you as well." They stuck up a conversation as the rest of their classmates finished.
…
…
…
After they finished with the test, Aizawa called them over. "Moving along. Time for the results." He pressed the device in his hand, and a hologram appeared next to him.
1. Yayorozu Momo
2. Izuku Midoriya
3. Todoroki Skoto
4. Katsuki Bakugou
5. Fumikage Tokoyami
…
…
"Your total scores reflect your performance on each of the tests. Also, I was lying about the expelling." He smiled a wicked smile. "It was simply a form of motivation, to get the best results possible."
Almost the entire class let out a unison cry of confusion 'WHAT?'
"Well of course it was a lie, didn't take much to figure that out," Yayorozu commented as Aizawa was leaving.
"Aizawa sensei sure fooled us, made me think, 'That's the line for me.' I mean, our teacher fooled us like that…how could he?" Uraraka said as she and Izuku walked out of school.
"U.A. is known for its freestyle education, so it doesn't surprise me. We better get used to it." He replied while passing a couple of upperclassmen. "By the way, what type of heroics are you going for? I'm aiming at being an offensive hero."
"Oh, that's easy. My favorite hero is Thirteen so I'm going in for rescue." Passing the gate, Uraraka turned to him. "Hey, why did that Bakugou guy call you Deku?"
Izuku stopped for a moment, "It was an insult before I got my quirk."
"Huh, why though, I mean weren't you both quirkless." He chuckled a bit.
"Aha, I get your confusion but no; You see my quirk came in late. When I was about 11 years old. Turns out I had to wait for my quirk to build enough power to make my nano-machines."
She looked at him strangely," But isn't your quirk super strength and weapon manifestation, I thought you had a dual quirk."
"No, you see, my quirk is called Nanomachine,-" The Nanosuit manifested itself around him, and his voice became distorted. "-and it can do stuff like this." He became invisible, getting a gasp from Uraraka.
"You can turn invisible too! That's AWESOME!" She cheered, and he became visible again; the suit retracted in him.
'Bit of a white lie, but it's necessary.' He thought.
"Let's get going, or we'll miss the bus. Well, talk more tomorrow." They picked up the pace, "Yeah, let's do that." Uraraka excitedly exclaimed, garnering the attention of several of the students nearby.
Suddenly in his head, the suit called out to him.
