-Dagoba Beach-
A week or so after getting her acceptance letter, All Might finally got back in touch with Izumi, and now the two were at the beach talking about it.
"You made quite an impression on the faculty with how you used your quirk and One for All." The blonde man stated.
"I should hope so. This is me we're talking about." Izumi chuckled before groaning. "I still feel incredibly embarrassed by what happened after, though." She added, recalling the mortification of when she realized she was topless in front of so many people.
She just wanted to live in a cave and die in it after that…
"Yeah, the entire faculty has unofficially sworn an oath of silence to never speak of that to anybody." The No. 1 hero said awkwardly. "That aside, though, how did it feel to use One for All like that?" He then asked.
"Like my muscles were being torn apart and my bone marrow was turned into TNT." The giantess stated.
"So almost the same stuff I felt when I was younger. Okay." All Might nodded. "In spite of that, your body still held up pretty well, though it could still use some tuning, so to speak." He added.
"Yeah, I really needed some muscle relaxers and pain killers after all that." The girl nodded. "But reigning it in will probably help with that. The question is though, how do I do that?" She asked.
"You could try envisioning something to serve as an example of sorts." The man offered. This made the greenette start to think before an example came to her.
"What about keeping an egg from exploding in a microwave?" She proposed, causing him to burst out laughing as blood gushed from his mouth.
"That's a little boring, but okay!" He exclaimed.
"Oh shut up." Izumi huffed haughtily, crossing her arms under her F-cup chest. Which had grown to that size after her ten months of training.
(Timeskip)
-Izumi's apartment-
Izumi hummed a little tune as she got her stuff ready for school, her mother watching over her as she did. She was already dressed in the UA girl's uniform, but if she was being honest, she wasn't a fan of the skirt. "Honey, are you sure you got everything you need in there?" Inko questioned.
"Yes, I'm sure." The giantess replied as she put her backpack on.
"No All Might figures?" The older greenette teased, getting a groan from her daughter.
"When will you stop teasing me about that…?" She asked.
"Never." Inko smiled before she hugged her daughter. "I am extremely proud of you for getting this far." She said softly. Izumi smiled as she hugged her mom back.
"Thanks, mom. I'll show all of them what I'm made of." The green haired giantess stated before the two of them pulled apart and the green haired girl left for her first day at the school of her dreams.
(Later)
-UA High-
As she reached the campus, the girl quickly started looking for her classroom–right until she came across a large door with 1-A on in it in a vertical position.
'That's a huge door… Welp, time to see who I got for my classmates. Knowing Kacchan, he's gonna be here.' She thought as she opened the door.
"Get your feet off that desk this instant!" A familiar speedster exclaimed.
'Oh boy…' The giantess groaned mentally, seeing what her childhood crush was doing with his desk.
"Huh? You're kidding right?" Katsuki jeered. "Your old school put a stick up your ass? Or were you born with it?" He added.. The blue haired teen looked ready to retort before he caught himself.
"How about we start over?" He offered. "I'm Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy." He continued.
"Somei, huh?" Katsuki mused. "That must mean you think you're better than me! I'll have fun tearing you a new one!" The explosion boy added.
"You would threaten me? Your own classmate?" Iida gasped. "Are you sure you're in the right place?" He added. Then both of them spotted Izumi in the doorway.
"Ha! I knew you'd be here, Izumi!" The bomber laughed as Iida went up to her.
"It's you from the exams!" He exclaimed before he leaned closer to her. "Don't worry about what happened then. I haven't said a word." He whispered, causing the greenette to relax a bit and nod in gratitude.
"Hey, I know that green hair! Falling girl!" A familiar voice said, causing the giantess to turn and see a familiar round face smiling at her.
"Whoa! Hey there!" Izumi said with a smile. "You got in too huh? That's awesome!" She added.
"Yep! So, what do you think they'll be doing for orientation? I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet everybody!" The girl nodded with a smile.
"If you're here to make friends, then just pack up and leave." A tired voice said, prompting them to turn and see a tired looking man with long black hair in a sleeping bag laying on the floor.
'What is that thing?!' Ochako and Iida thought, feeling very creeped out. Izumi, on the other hand…
"Why is there a grumpy caterpillar here?" She asked innocently. This made the rest of the class burst out laughing, with Katsuki actually falling out of his chair as he clutched his midsection while he howled mirthfully.
The man in question felt his eyebrow twitch at the remark.
"Whatever. Just take your seats." He grunted as he got out of his sleeping bag and went to the front of the class as they reigned in their laughter. "Hello, I'm Shouta Aizawa, your teacher." The man told them.
"Our teacher?" The kids said to themselves, looking between each other.
"Right… Put these on and head outside." He said, taking track uniforms out of his sleeping bag–which made a few of the kids replay a math equation meme in their heads as they tried to wrap their heads around how that was possible.
'I have so many questions about that.' They thought.
(Later)
Outside on some sort of track area, the students stood as Aizawa explained to them what they'd be doing: a quirk assessment test.
"What?! A quirk assessment test?" They all gasped.
"But what about orientation?!" Ochako complained.
"There's no point attending that." Their teacher shot back. "Here at UA, we aren't tethered to tradition. In these tests, you'll be tested by using your quirks." He continued before looking at Katsuki. "Bakugo, you got the highest score in the softball throw. Do you remember how far you threw it?" He questioned.
"About sixty-nine meters, I think." The Pomeranian boy replied after a moment of thought.
'Nice.' Izumi quipped mentally with a smirk.
"Try again, with your quirk this time." Aizawa told him.
"Alright, just remember that you asked for it." The blonde sighed as he stepped up, ball in hand. He then went into the circle and reared his hand back before… "DIIIIIIE!" He roared as he threw the ball, sending it flying.
"This is what I mean. These tests will reveal the full extent of your power, and your potential as a pro." He stated as he turned his phone to them, revealing that Katsuki's throw had gone 407.5 meters.
"Whoa, 407.5 meters? That's insane!" A yellow haired teen said in surprise.
"So cool!" Izumi whispered to herself as she blushed, looking like she was a tomato with her red face and green hair.
"This is what I'm talking about! Using our quirks as much as we want!" A boy with tape arms added.
"Yeah! It looks like fun!" A pink girl added.
"Fun, you say?" Aizawa interjected almost coldly. "Idiots, you're going to be going out into the world to fight off the evils of the world, and protect people from them. There's no room for fun here." He continued.
"Why do I get the feeling that I'm not going to like what's about to come out of his mouth…?" The giantess noted idly to Iida and Ochako.
"That being said, the person who gets last place gets expelled." The man declared, much to everyone's shock.
"WHAT?!" Everybody except Izumi yelled with wide eyes.
"Yep, I was right, I don't like it." Izumi nodded.
"But that's not fair!" Ochako complained.
"Oh, and do you think natural disasters are? Or power hungry Villains, hmm?" The man stated. "Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out entire cities? No, the world is full of unfairness. It's a hero's job to combat this unfairness." He continued. "For the next three years, UA will throw one terrible hardship after another–we want you to go beyond your limits–plus ultra style. So stop whining, if you're opposed to it you can go home right now. I don't care." He added.
'Am I supposed to be intimidated by that?' Izumi thought rhetorically. She had no intention of jumping ship right off the bat. She came here to be a heroine, and she was gonna commit to it, dammit!
"Now, let's get started." Aizawa said.
-50 Meter Dash-
The first test was a test best fitted for those with speed quirks, so Iida, Momo Yaoyorozu and a two toned boy named Shoto were the runner-ups. The last pair to go was Izumi and Katsuki.
"No hard feeling when I win this dash, Izumi." The red eyed bomber told her.
"I should be the one telling you that." The giantess shot back with a smirk as the two got ready. When the signal was given, Katsuki launched himself with his explosions while Izumi created giant rock waves under her feet to get ahead of him, effectively beating him in the race via rock surfing.
"1.45 seconds! 2.55 seconds!" The timer machine buzzed for Izumi and Katsuki respectively.
"What did I say?" The greenette smirked at her explosive friend.
"Oh shut up." Katsuki huffed in reply.
-Grip Strength Test-
Next was the grip strength test, and everyone was doing their best, with Meizo Shoji getting arguably the highest score. Now it was Izumi's turn.
'I don't think I'll need One for All for this. I'm already pretty strong.' She thought to herself as she started squeezing…
CRUNCH!
… And crushed the machine in her grip. This made everyone look at her in surprise as the giantess awkwardly held what was left of the device. The device's last visible number was 999.9 before it was crushed.
"... Oops." She said sheepishly as she dropped the ruined piece of equipment.
"Are you for real, Izumi?!" Katsuki groaned in exasperation, though in hindsight, he really should've seen that coming.
'Hm… So her body is naturally stronger than other girls her age, likely because of her quirk.' Aizawa noted mentally.
-Standing Long Jump-
The standing long jump test was one which Tsuyu Asui took pretty well in, as did Katsuki. And to her credit, Izumi was having a hard time figuring out how to proceed.
'Hm… I guess an earth pillar would help.' She decided before making her attempt, using an earth pillar the moment she jumped to increase her distance.
Like the former two, she did well. Problem was, she didn't use One for All, and its absence looked very suspicious to the homeroom teacher.
-Repeated side steps-
Izumi actually struggled quite a good bit this time since she couldn't seem to figure out how to use her earthbending for this one. It honestly made her feel rather peeved.
'This is bullshit.' She thought flatly before seeing the grape-haired pervert from the practical exams using the balls from his hair to bounce back and forth repeatedly. 'Fuck off!' She thought with indignant envy. She really wished she could do something like that…
-Ball Throw-
The next test was the ball throw, and now Izumi thought that now was a good time to use One for All to get a really good result.
And this gave her an idea on how to do it without having to get hurt. Clapping her hands together, she slammed a hand on the ground and brought it up, revealing that she was forming it into a large hammer–similar to the Warhammer Gideon which she read about in a book.
"Huh? What's with that hammer?" Ochako wondered.
"Certainly an interesting concept for the application of her quirk in a test like this, but how will she make it work in her favor?" Iida also wondered aloud, stroking his chin.
"I think I have a pretty good idea." Katsuki commented vaguely. Right as Izumi threw the ball into the air and channeled One for All into her arms, she grunted when all of her strength suddenly left her. It was as if someone had flipped a switch and shut her… quirk… off…
'Wait a damn minute…' The giantess thought, her eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"I suppressed your illogical quirk." Aizawa spoke up, his eyes glowing red as his hair started moving on its own as Izumi turned her attention to him.
"Oh fuck all kinds of duck…" The viridian haired lass groaned as she recognized the man's goggles. "I thought your scarf looked familiar, Erasure Hero: Eraserhead." She stated, causing everyone to seem confused.
"Eraserhead? You're telling me they let a nobody like him teach here?" Katsuki questioned, causing a tick mark to appear on the man's head.
"You, shut up." The man retorted, glancing at the Pomeranian bomber before returning his focus to Izumi. "It was a mistake, letting someone like you in here. The judges were too illogical when they let you in the hero course after how you–" He continued before Izumi cut him off.
"If you finish that sentence, I will end you!" She threatened with a glare, refusing to have the man bring up that embarrassing incident.
"... Okay, I deserved that threat." Aizawa admitted after a moment of pause, allowing Izumi to defend her dignity. "That being said–." He continued before his scarf wrapped around Izumi's waist and dragged her towards him. "Your powers are strong, as is your body–clearly." He admitted, before adding. "But there's also no disputing that even it has limits."
He took a pause to glare down at her before continuing. "I saw Recovery Girl's notes, that burst of power you used in the exam caused your muscles to strain far past what they were used to and tear, while also causing several spider web fractures on all of your lower extremities." The man stated. "If you kept that up, those injuries would make you a liability in battle if they stacked up. Sorry, Midoriya, but with how your current body is, it would be too risky for you to become a hero." He added. All that accomplished was getting Izumi to narrow her eyes.
"Is that a fact now?" She questioned before…
BAM!
She reared her fist back and uppercutted her teacher in the jaw, the force being enough to actually lift him off the ground and make him land a few feet away.
The rest of the class was visibly shocked by the display, with Katsuki just sighing. As the Underground Hero sat up and held his jaw, he looked at his viridian eyed student… and froze when he saw her giving him a glare with enough rage that would give even All Might pause.
"A little word of advice, Mr. Aizawa? Never touch me like that again." The giantess hissed at him as she glared at him.
"What are you–?" He started to say.
"That scarf of yours was wrapped around my waist, and I was dangerously close to touching your front." Izumi interrupted. "Not only is that a violation of my personal space–but there's only one man I'd let drag me to him like that. And last I checked?" She continued with a serpent-like glare. "That isn't you." She added, before walking over to the ball and her hammer before picking them up. "So don't do that again, or I won't hold myself back next time." She finished.
"Damn. Talk about hardcore." A muscular redheaded boy remarked.
"She didn't even hesitate when she did that." A purple haired girl with jacks for earlobes commented with a stunned look on her face.
"Why did she even react like that to begin with?" Ochako wondered, many of the others wondering the same thing.
"Yes, such an outburst could be harmful for her." Iida added.
"It's because she's very particular about her personal space." Katsuki stated, rather exasperated. "It's pretty much her pet peeve, so don't get too close to her." He added.
"Oh." The two nodded, still a bit surprised.
Izumi threw the ball into the air a couple of times to warm herself up a bit, and then she threw it up as high as she could before rearing her earthen hammer back for a swing. Right as the ball came down within swinging range, she swung, and when the hammer was halfway through its arc, the giantess channeled One for All through the muscles she was using for the swing at the lowest setting.
'Come on, baby, just work for me here! Remember the egg in the microwave…!' She thought as she grit her teeth while struggling to keep her inherited quirk under control. When the hammer's head made contact with the ball…
BOOM!
There was a deafening boom as the ball was sent flying and the hammer exploded into pebbles. Everyone had stunned looks as they watched where the ball flew while Katsuki had a look of suspicion on his face along with a tinge of surprise.
"What the hell…?" The blonde said in shock as he stared at what he was seeing.
As Aizawa looked at the screen of his phone, he held it up, showing that the viridian haired lass sent the ball flying over 909.6 meters. Nearly an entire Kilometer.
"Hey sensei!" The giantess called, getting his attention as she flexed her still intact muscles. "Still think I can't be a heroine?!" She jeered with a grin.
"This kid…!" Aziawa uttered with an impressed look on his face.
Meanwhile, off to the side, All Might was watching the scene in surprise and amazement at what his pupil had just done–using her hammer to absorb the majority of the backlash of her act with One for All.
'What the heck, young Midoriya?! How did you go and get so cool?!' The man thought to himself.
(Later)
The quirk assessment tests were now over and done with, and Izumi felt pretty good about herself since she had noticed something off about Azawa's expulsion threat later on down the road. All she needed was to hear him say it.
"And I was lying, no one's going home." Aizawa said as he turned off the holoprojector, showing that the giantess was in fourth place under Katsuki.
"WHAT?!" Most of the class yelled in shock.
"I knew something about this was off. It felt like a tactic to make us do our best." Izumi commented.
"Yes. We wondered if the rest of you had noticed. I guess one of us should've said something." Momo added as everybody else looked at them.
'Yeah, you should've!' They all thought.
"That's it, go and get a syllabus on your desks. We're done here." The man sighed as he walked away, leaving them to their own devices.
"That was a dirty trick you pulled there, Aizawa." All Might said as the Erasure hero walked his way.
"All Might, so you're here. No conferences today?" Aizawa snipped at him nonchalantly.
"A rational deception. That's cute, but you're not exactly known for being lighthearted." The No. 1 hero stated. "I read your file, you expelled an entire class of students last year. You have no problem with kicking students out, anyone you deem unworthy. You were thinking of sending last place home." He added.
"What're you getting at?" The Erasure Hero questioned.
"What I'm getting at is that you see the same potential in young Midoriya that I do!" The currently buff man exclaimed with his trademark smile.
"Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Who's to say?" The man mused. "Either way, that strength of hers is no laughing matter." He added as he walked away.
"That's pretty much a given." All Might nodded as he watched his colleague leave.
(Elsewhere)
"*Yawn* Man, those tests took a lot out of me." Izumi yawned as she began her walk home… before pouting to herself. "I can't believe Kacchan didn't want to walk home with me. Honestly, he can be so mean!" She pouted indignantly.
"Hey, Izumi! Wait up!" Ochako called, prompting the viridian haired girl to turn and see her female friend running up to her.
"Oh, hey, Ochako." The giantess said as the round faced girl caught up to her.
"Hello, Izumi." Iida added as he too came up to them.
"Hey Iida." The girl nodded.
"Hey, why the long face?" The pink cheeked girl questioned as they continued walking.
"It's nothing, I was just really hoping to walk home with Kacchan today." Izumi told her with a sigh.
"Are you talking about that boy with the exploding quirk?" Ochako asked again, recalling the way Izumi and Katsuki interacted.
"Yep, that's him." The earthbender nodded as they walked to the train station. "After seeing him do that throw during the tests, I really wanted to talk to him about it–he was so cool~!" She gushed as she shivered with excitement at the thought.
"You do seem to hold him in rather high regard. How long have you known him?" Iida asked as they reached the station.
"We've known each other since we were in our diapers. We pretty much grew up together." The giantess replied with a reminiscent sigh as she recalled those days. "We've basically been one-upping each other, both of us egging the other into trying to catch up." She continued.
"Really? So you guys are like best friends turned fated rivals, huh?" Ochako noted with a smile.
"Well, I guess so. But…" Izumi nodded before trailing off.
"But what?" Iida questioned.
"I honestly wish that we were more than just friends, to tell you the truth…" She responded, her face turning pink as she looked away. Ochako smirked as she connected the dots.
"Ooohhhhh, somebody's crushing on her rival~!" She sang in a very teasing tone.
"Sh-shut up!" Izumi hissed, her cheeks reddening even further.
"Ah! Now what you said to Mr. Aizawa makes sense!" Iida gasped in realization. This made Ochako look at him in confusion and for Izumi to tense up. "But I also realize that it's not my place to go into full detail, so I'll end it there." He added. He knew full well that Izumi was basically saying that only Katsuki could hold her like a lover would, but for Izumi's sake, he would leave it unsaid since, in a way, it didn't need to be said.
Izumi let out a sigh of relief before turning to the other two. "You two better not say anything to Kacchan about this, or anyone else, got it?!" She warned.
"My lips are sealed." Ochako nodded in reply.
"Of course." The blue haired speedster nodded in reply as well.
"Good." The Serpent Sin nodded in satisfaction. "That being said…" The girl continued before turning to her new friends, whipping out her notebook and pen. "You guys have such cool quirks! Honestly, I'm kinda jealous!" She added, recalling how the two's scores basically beat hers and Katsuki's in two of the tests.
"Why?" Iida asked in confusion, not understanding what Izumi was getting at.
The girl kept writing in her notebook as she talked, the train continuing to take them home.
"You're able to run super fast and kick even harder with your legs, and Ochako can make anything her personal plaything by making it weightless! Those are so cool!" She told them as she kept writing. "My quirk just gives me earth manipulation, metal skin and a super human body, that's it. Not really much to write home about in the grand scheme of things."
The runner and gravity gal glanced at each other with looks of confusion on their faces. Their green haired friend thought her quirk wasn't anything to brag about?
If they were being brutally honest, they thought it was, if her practical entrance exam performance was anything to go by… Aftermath notwithstanding, of course.
"We think it's cool." The two said in unison, which made Izumi smile.
"Thanks, guys." She smiled.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile in the room of Katsuki Bakugo, the boy was laying on his bed as the day's events replayed in his mind… and the familiar image of a stark naked Izumi interrupting him musing his thoughts on her performance–causing him to blush.
He recalled how… curvaceous and voluptuous she'd gotten after the ten months were up and it made him feel… Very stimulated.
"What the hell did she do to herself? She's fucking gorgeous!" He said to himself as he looked out his window… Before realizing what he just said. "... I don't know whether to blame her or thank her for making me feel like this." He muttered to himself.
The Pomeranian boy really hated to admit it, but he was starting to think that he really has fallen for his All Might obsessed friend. His Green Eyed Monster.
Dragon Emperor0: Fifteen years as friends and a growth spurt, the two ingredients for love–a tale as old as time. Don't worry, Katsuki, you're not the first to fall victim to this–and you're definitely not the last.
ThermalsniperN7: Yeah. There are dozens throughout the ages that have and will fall victim to this traditional story approach, so you won't be alone there. Anyway, with that being said, it looks like Izumi can't really use her quirk for everything if those repeated side steps are anything to go by.
Dragon Emperor0: Definite limits means she isn't exactly overpowered. And she also has limits on how much power she can draw out in one go as well, so keep that in mind. Also, with how things are looking, I'd say that our two lovebirds may be together by midterms–just before the Stain Arc.
ThermalsniperN7: Right. Seems like an accurate time for them to get together… Oh man, the way Izumi will react to the hairstyle Katsuki walks into class with after his time with Best Jeanist… Anyway, see you guys next time!
