Chapter Sixteen:
The sun was shining on a bright Monday, the first day of a brand new week. It was where Rouga made the decision to accompany Izuku to U.A. High, mainly on the insistence of his mother.
U.A. High School
Izuku was wearing the standard-made U.A. uniform: a light gray blazer with dark turquoise trimmings over a white dress shirt and dress pants, along with a red tie which he doesn't do up properly, leaving it much shorter than it should be. Kensei was going to definitely lecture him over that, but he was arriving on time no matter what. As a contrast, he wore oversized red boots with thick white soles, laced up to the top.
Rouga, on the other hand, was dressed slightly more formal than he was used to. He was wearing a light-blue tracksuit, complete with a hound motif on it. However, he had some running shoes with some small laces that were white mixed in with some teal accents.
"So, why did you accompany me?" Izuku curiously asked.
"Truth be told, it's to reassure your mother that nothing would happen to you. She's a tad overprotective, but you're her only child, so it's a given."
Izuku nodded in a bit of understanding, but wishes his mother could at least calm down a bit.
As they were getting closer to the school's gate, Rouga wished him luck on his first day.
"Thanks!"
The green-haired kid was making his way into the school, specifically looking for his homeroom. He did look back-and-forth, but eventually found a huge door with the initials of 1-A.
'Oh, here it is.'
As soon as he was opening the door, he heard two familiar voices, two voices that he didn't want to meet again. It was Bakugo and the blue-haired boy on the day of the exam.
"What are you doing? Get your feet off the desk immediately. This type of action is very disrespectful to the school!" said the blue-haired boy, using his hands for emphasis.
"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" responded Bakugo.
"My name is Tenya Iida, I come from Soumei Private Academy." Iida stated.
"An elite? Oh, it's gonna be fun blowing you to a crisp." Bakugo said with a grin on his face.
"Are you sure you're in the right classroom?! Is this how you treat me, a fellow classmate?" exclaimed Iida, backing up a bit. The green-haired boy is trying to make his way to a desk, preferably away from these two. Unfortunately, the ash-blonde boy noticed him.
"Deku... how the-" Bakugo growled, but was interrupted by Iida.
"I have to apologize for my behavior at the day of the entrance exam. My name is Tenya Iida." Iida said, mainly to Izuku.
"Izuku. Midoriya. It's super-nice to meet you." the kid said, still surprised about how his classmate did a 180 from the previous day.
"Midoriya, you realized there was another aspect to the practical exam, didn't you? You're very perceptive, in fact, I consider you to be the superior student." Iida explained, slightly putting himself down for misjudging the kid.
'If it's any consolation, my teacher did explain that to me after the exam was over.'
"However, there's one thing that did surprise me...
The moves you pulled off during the practical exam? Who trained you?" said Iida with emphasis.
"Oh... uh, I have three teachers. One's a middle-school teacher currently, the second one's a MMA fighter on break, and the last one is a Pro Hero from Europe." Izuku said, albeit a little too much.
Iida was going to ask more question, but was interrupted by a chocolate-haired girl and a short-haired girl.
"WHOA, you did make it to U.A., do you remember me?"
"Wait, yea, I recognize you too."
"You actually saved me and that red-haired guy from certain, I can't thank you enough for that." said the short-haired girl who was clearly from the United States, mainly by her accent and her features. She had a wavy chin-length bob, but it was a lighter shade of black. The girl had blue eyes and a small nose. "My name's Joanna Archer. This is Ochako Uraraka."
"That was such a cool combo you pulled off!" said the now-named Ochako.
Izuku was a bit embarrassed, mainly thinking on how he could have held back. As the group was talking, the classroom door was still open and a heavy voice interrupted by the saying the following "If you're here to make friends, pack up and go home."
The quartet were surprised by where the voice came from, a guy in an orange sleeping bag. If anything, he looked more like a orange caterpillar than anything.
"It took eight seconds before you were quiet, time's limited. You kids aren't being rational enough." said the caterpillar man.
'Wait a minute. If this is our teacher, then it means he's a Pro Hero. However, I never seen a pro that worn out before.'
As Izuku was mulling over this, the teacher unzipped his bag and revealed himself fully. He looked tired, appearing to have rolled out of bed this morning. He was fairly tall, slender, pale-skinned, shoulder-length black hair that partly appeared in his face, and to top it all off: a full-on black outfit, utility belt, and a white wrap scarf around his neck.
"I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Nice to meet you." the teacher stated in a dull tone. "I know it's sudden, but put these P.E. clothes on and out into the field."
U.A. P.E. Grounds
The entirety of Class 1-A was on the training grounds, complete in the P.E. uniform which blue with white accents forming the initials of 'U.A.' vertically. Izuku noticed it, if he was right, there was at least 26 students, a bit more than he was expecting.
"Wait? What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?" asked Ochako.
"If you plan on becoming a hero, you need to forgo those leisurely events. U.A.'s selling point is its freedom, but that same freedom applies to its teachers. Meaning I can run my class in anyway I see fit." Aizawa stated. "Let me ask you this, all of you have done this through Junior High, too, right? Fitness tests where you were forbidden to use your Quirks."
A few students nodded in response.
"The Ministry of Education needs to play catch-up, it's irrational. The country still takes averages taken from results FROM students not using their Quirks. This is U.A.'s Quirk Apprehension Test, something to subvert that irrationality."
Aizawa then looked towards Izuku, "Midoriya, you scored at the top of the Practical Exam. In addition, you shocked everyone up at the booth when you utilized that rapid-strike combo on the Zero-Pointer. Impressive, but color me suspicious." Aizawa revealed this tidbit of info, shocking the rest of the class. The only one not too shocked was Ochako because she was a first-hand witness.
Bakugo was irate, but didn't say a thing at all. In fact, you could say he was waiting for the nerd to slip up.
"Aside from that, what was your best softball throw?"
"16 meters."
"Okay. Try the same thing, but with your Quirk." Aizawa said, throwing a softball to Izuku, which he easily caught. "You can do whatever you want, so long as you stay in that circle. Give it all you got."
Izuku walked up to the circle, now tapping into his aura, evidenced by his hand glowing green and now emulating his mentor a bit.
HRAHHHHHH!
A-TA!
He threw the softball with such force, it seemed like it singed, and on top of that, a brief gust of air was felt. Aizawa eyed this, but then looked at the results, the recurring thought that went through his head?
'Midoriya, he's holding back, I can tell. However, there's something off.'
"790.7 meters. Follow his example, know your maximum. That's the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero." Aizawa responded, but held up his phone to showcase the reading.
"What the?!" said a plain-looking boy with black hair.
"Wow, your master did not kid around when training you!" said a familiar pink-skinned girl.
"So we can use your Quirks as much as we want? That's the Hero Course for you!"
"It looks so much fun!" said a rose-haired girl.
Aizawa raised an eye and said "Fun, is it? You have three years to become a hero, are you going to keep this same attitude the entire time? All right, new rule: Whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential and be punished with expulsion."
The looks on Class 1-A were of worry and fear.
"Oh, no. Midoriya has Aizawa. If the file is accurate, all of Class 1-A will be in for it." Toshinori said as he was looking over the worn-out hero's file in the teacher directory.
'Expulsion?! Last place? Oh, no. No. No. No.' Izuku thought, still in shock at what Aizawa said. However, he needed to calm himself, he tried thinking of a reason why he said that. The only conclusion at this point: a logical ruse. A lie to get everyone in 1-A to perform at their peaks, but he saw that some of them were annoyed by Aizawa's statements already.
"Welcome to the Heroics Course." Aizawa stated, but had a freaky grin on his face.
Ochako spoke up, but was interrupted by a mulberry-haired girl, "Last Place? Expelled?! It's just the first day! Are you really going to do that!? That's extremely unfair!"
"Unfair? The entire country's covered in unfairness. Natural disasters, ruthless villains, large accidents, and the occasional vigilante. Calamities whose time or place can't be predicted. If you thought you were going to chat with your friends at the local McDonald's after school, you're sorely mistaken. The next three years, U.A. will do all it can to put you through hardship after hardship. Go beyond. Plus Ultra. Overcome it with all you got."
'He's serious about this, well, I didn't break my back over nothing!' thought the mulberry-haired girl as she cracked her knuckles.
'This is too serious to be hazing. U.A. is the best of the best for a reason, there's no choice but to do it.' Iida thought as took a sip of water, he was going to need it.
"Alright, demonstration's over. Let's begin..."
Test 1: 50-Meter Dash
The race was structured like this: two people are at the start line, ready to race, and on top of that, a camcorder-type device will record and measure their time. The student who gets the fastest time will earn the highest score.
The first two? Tenya Iida and a mulberry-haired girl with wrapped hair that looks like a stinger were at the start-line.
As soon as the shot rang out, the blue-haired boy bolted as if his life depended on it. He was the first to finish the race and his time wasn't bad either. A minute later, the mulberry-haired girl finished the race too.
3.04 seconds
'It seems I can only get up to third gear.' Iida was thinking as he was analyzing his results.
Name: Tenya Iida
Quirk: Engine - The user has engines in his calves which allows him to move at high-end speeds.
"He's definitely in his element, but speed isn't the only attribute essential for a Pro Hero. Let's see what the others can do."
"Woo... that was a bit tiring." said the mulberry-haired girl.
Name: Bella Sasukasa
Quirk: Scorpion-Tail - The user has a scorpion tail in the form of a ponytail, but can extend! However, it requires a refill time of one hour.
4.20 seconds
The recorded time wasn't bad at all. Ochako was up next, mainly with a girl with frog-like features.
"Ribbit."
"Lighten up my clothes and shoes..."
Name: Ochako Uraraka
Quirk: Zero Gravity - Anything touched will become weightless, plus she has absolute control over it. However, overuse will lead to her being nauseous.
As soon as the race started, the frog-like girl reached the finish line.
5.58 seconds
Name: Tsuyu Asui
Quirk: Frog - The name speaks for itself, she can do whatever a frog can and do!
Ochako managed to reach the finish line, but was proud that she got through. In fact, she said "Whew! That's faster than I was in Junior High!"
7.15 seconds
The next two up were a blonde boy with a tail and a flamboyant blonde male.
"Excellent attempt, mon ami. However, this is how you SHINE!" said the flamboyant blonde male.
Name: Yuga Aoyama
Quirk: Navel Laser - He's able to fire a laser from his belly button. The drawback is that he'll get a stomachache after overusing it.
The tail boy actually finished first, but by the skin of his teeth.
5.49 seconds
The flamboyant one finished two seconds after, but said "Shooting my beautiful beam for more than a second will hurt my tummy."
'Are you serious?'
5.51 seconds
"Looking at the upper limits of your Quirks and the room for growth in each results, it will be clear on how much you can do and can't do." Aizawa stated. However, Izuku and Bakugo were the last ones ready to race.
There were no words to be exchanged.
As soon as the gunshot was heard, Bakugo was igniting explosions from the back, propelling himself forward, but Izuku broke out into a sprint. However, Aizawa noticed that the green-haired kid was more of a blur as he was nearing the finish line.
'Good. He's starting to get serious.'
Bakugo was surprised by how fast Deku moved, then remembered his master. The same man who humiliated him. He put in an extra burst of explosion in an attempt to pass the nerd.
Unfortunately, that was not meant to be.
3.13 seconds
Izuku finished, but was panting a bit. Bakugo finished right afterwards.
4.13 seconds
The explosive kid was annoyed at this, thinking to himself. 'He's faster than I thought. That master of his definitely trained him, but it doesn't matter. I'm bringing in my A-game!'
Test 2: Grip Strength
The grip-strength test was done in the form of a hand-held device which measures said strength by the kilogram. First up was a tall boy with hair swept over his face, complete with a mask covering up the lower half. What was striking was the fact that he had six arms, all attached by a web of skin. He quickly grabbed the device, then gripped it.
Name: Mezo Shoji
Quirk: Dupli-Arms - He's able to utilize his arm-attached tentacles to replicate various parts of the human body.
540kg
"Impressive, next."
A black-haired boy whose hair was styled like a faux-hawk stepped up, he was fairly muscular with some scar-like patterns on the arms and shoulders. He generated a gauntlet made of bones and then gripped it.
Name: Kasui Kokotsu
Quirk: Sharp Bones - Kasui's able to generate bone-like growths from his body to serve as weapons!
490kg
Izuku stepped up to the plate, then made his hand emit aura while gripping the device tightly. He soon heard a beep and was surprised by the reading.
530kg
'Huh, that's unexpected. However, this might attract some unwarranted attention.'
Two of the boys were shocked at what Izuku was able to do, but still surprised he didn't crush it.
"Midoriya, what the hell have you been eating?!" asked a plain-faced boy with tape-dispenser-like limbs at the elbows. The green-haired kid just nodded and moved onto the next thing.
Test 3: Long Standing Jump
Izuku was able to clear the sandbox by jumping the full distance, but some students seemed discouraged by it. He was going to say something, but Bakugo got angry and claimed he's taking too long.
Test 4: Repeated Side Steps
Izuku was done with it, but saw the most surprising thing ever. A extremely short student with purple bulb-like hair by the name of Minoru Mineta who pulled out two small piles of balls, then placed them on the side. The short one simply bounced back and forth! If anything, this kid definitely got a higher score than he did.
Name: Minoru Mineta
Quirk: Pop Off - The quirk allows Minoru to produce extremely sticky, removable spheres from his head!
Test 5: Ball Throw
Izuku was standing to the side because he did the exercise already, plus he was curious about who would be close to him in terms of overall power. He made some mental notes in the process.
Bakugo was up first, emitting an explosion to super-charge his throw. The reading? 705.2m. He threw a tantrum, complaining about how the gap between him and Deku should have shortened.
Next up was Joanna who gripped the softball, but imbued it with something. Izuku could tell by the yellow aura emitting in her palms, then she got into a baseball pitcher's pose and threw it.
The result was 670.5m. She was a bit disappointed, but moved on quickly.
When Ochako came up, she literally made the ball float for a long time and the reading came out to be:
1-A was taken aback by this, so if anything... Ochako placed first in this activity. No question.
Test 6: Distance-Run
It would be a long run, mainly about 20 minutes. However, Izuku was trailing ahead, but the only ones were keeping up were Bakugo and Iida. However, the two would eventually slow down because they were too tired to keep going.
"Midoriya, you can start slowing down. It's obvious that you're in first, any more and it would be redundant."
Test 7: Seated Toe-Touch
The seated toe-touch was a bit of a breather exercise, but for some? It was more painful because of the stretching alone, especially on the hamstrings. However, Izuku wasn't having much of an issue, he thought he was going to pull some muscles here and there but he didn't. Keep in mind, he felt some pain but it was of the manageable type.
'I'm very thankful of the exercises that my master put me through, especially when comes to flexibility.'
Aizawa's face was still unreadable, but one could tell that he was impressed. However, he couldn't shake the nagging feeling that the kid was holding back.
Test 8: Sit-Ups
The entire test was a bit of a joke, Izuku was sweating, yes, but he clearly shown no signs of slowing down. Everyone did reach the end of their sets, but two others were still going at it. It was Bakugo and a large student who had features of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The both of them were trying to catch up, but they slowed down because they were at their physical limits.
"Midoriya, the test is over. I seen enough. Besides, you're already marked at 1st place."
The results were being tallied, but Aizawa's eyes turned red and his scarf launched, catching Izuku and bringing him closer, which prompted him to say
"... Is what I would normally if ALL of my students worked to reach their maximums. However, you. Are definitely holding back. How can you be a hero if you don't show your full potential."
The rest of 1-A were caught off-guard by this, but Izuku realized who it was.
'Wait. Red Eyes. Goggles. Scarf-like weapon. I KNOW WHO IT IS!'
"Black cloak, erases Quirks with a glance at them, you're the Erasure Hero: Eraserhead!"
"Midoriya, you're only going to redo one test, the 50-meter dash. If you don't show the maximum, looks like I won't be seeing you at U.A. anymore." Aizawa said in response.
Midoriya nodded in response, then went to the start line.
BLAM!
The green-haired kid turned into a green blur, not only beating his time, but also setting a new record.
1.30 seconds
"Now, that's what I'm looking for."
The entirety of Class 1-A was absolutely shocked, even Iida who prides himself on his speed couldn't believe it. "Midoriya, who trained you?!" yelled Iida, emphasizing with his hands.
"Oh, my martial arts teacher. He can be quite the hard-ass, plus when we spar, we only hold back a little." Izuku stated in response, but had a bit of sheepiness at that last part.
"WHAT?!"
"What fighting styles do you know?" asked the tailed blonde boy.
"What exercises did you do to get that strong?!" asked a plain-faced boy.
The questions piled upon each other, overwhelming Izuku to the point of generating a mutter-storm to answer at least two of them. Bakugo, on the other hand, was glaring at him. He knew that his master had something to do with it, but the proof was right in front of him, the nerd awakened his Quirk at a late stage.
"How?! How did you get one?! Explain how?!" yelled Bakugo. However, he didn't propel himself at the nerd. The explosive kid thought it was better to crush him later. He would know where his place was again.
Aizawa settled 1-A down, then explained on why he wouldn't make Midoriya re-do the other tests.
"It's irrational to do so, plus I have other ways of drawing out his potential. The same goes for all of you."
In the span of a few minutes, he gathered up the scores and said "Truth be told, I rather just show all the scores all at once. Each score is a tally of your overall marks. Now, here they are.". A blue projection screen showed the entire scoreboard, highest to lowest.
1. Izuku Midoriya
2. Momo Yaoyorozu
3. Shoto Todoroki
4. Katsuki Bakugo
5. Tenya Iida
6. Fumikage Tokoyami
7. Mezo Shoji
8. Jen Bodankata
9. Mashirao Ojiro
10. Eijiro Kirishima
11. Bella Sasukasa
12. Mina Ashido
13. Tyrone Kishijuu
14. Ochako Uraraka
15. Koji Koda
16. Kasui Kokotsu
17. Rikido Sato
18. Joanna Archer
19. Tsuyu Asui
20. Kuri Suisei
21. Yuga Aoyama
22. Hanta Sero
23. Denki Kaminari
24. Kyoka Jiro
25. Toru Hagakure
26. Minoru Mineta
The results were clear. The purple-bulb boy was tearing up at being last, believing his chance to be a Pro Hero was dashed. Some students tried to cheer him up, but Aizawa interrupted it by saying "Oh. I lied."
The bombshell of bombshells was dropped, making 1-A go silent for a moment. He smirked for a bit, then said "It was a logical ruse to get all of you to perform at your best."
The only one aside from Izuku who caught onto this deception was a black-haired girl whose hair was styled into a ponytail. She responded "In hindsight, I should have said something... it's the first day, plus when you think about it. Would you really expel someone on the first day to begin with? Seems like a waste."
'YES! YOU SHOULD HAVE!' 1-A collectively thought.
"Alright, then. We are done, just return to the classroom to pick up the curriculum. Then look over them overnight." Aizawa stated, but motioned for Midoriya to stay for a bit.
"Midoriya, I'm genuinely curious. What fighting styles do you know?"
"Jeet Kune Do, Savate, Choy Li Fut, Bajiquan, Full Contact Karate, San Shou, some Muay Thai, and some BJJ."
"Why that many?"
"My master explained it like this: a fighter must have versatility no matter what. If one style didn't work, then you switch to different styles to adapt to the situation."
"He's rational, good. Very good. However, word of warning: some Pro Heroes will associate with a certain vigilante. Especially considering the moves you pulled off."
Izuku nodded, but mentally gulped. The conversation ended, mainly with Aizawa saying he should create his own techniques to lessen any associations.
As the kid was walking away, he was thinking. 'Okay, I got first place. That was just the first step. However, it seems U.A.'s staff has become a bit suspicious. All the more reason to work harder to prove that I'm capable of being a Pro Hero.'
"Oh, good morning, All Might. How long were you there?" said Aizawa, looking at All-Might's pitiful attempt at being stealthy.
" 'Logical Ruse', you say? I remember April Fool's Day being last week. This is strange, you cut out a bunch of first-years last year. However, you felt it too, right? Midoriya's potential? However, there's a different topic I need to discuss." said All-Might.
"Yes, I have. However, you have an inkling that HE'S back?"
"Yes, I feel that Young Midoriya might not be fully immersed in HIS ideals."
"Shichisei, right? I will see to it that he will be properly educated as a Pro Hero, but he needs to fix his habit of holding back. A mistake stemming from that habit can cost quite a few lives if he's not careful. Potential, he does have that. However, execution is what matters. If you can't do it right, don't bother doing it at all." said Aizawa as he walked away.
"It seems you're being kind in your own way, but this topic might be one of those rare times where we both agree on something."
The first day of classes would end, but it was brimming with tons of energy. A bunch of students were conversing with each other as they were leaving the front gate.
"That was a killer first day..." said a fatigued Izuku. However, he decided to perform some shadow-boxing in order to shake things off.
"Midoriya, how do you have that much energy still?!" said a familiar voice.
"Oh, hey, Iida. It's mainly to keep myself in shape. Also knowing my master, he's going to train me harder since I'm at U.A."
"I see, that is very diligent! Keeping your body in shape while preparing for U.A.'s challenges along the way, the mark of a good student. However, I did not expect Aizawa to utilize a lie to encourage everyone to perform at their peaks. In the end, it did get the results."
"Hey! You two! Heading to the train station too?" said a bob-headed girl with another girl.
"Wait, you're..."
"Ochako Uraraka. You met Joanna earlier today." Ochako stated, but Joanna didn't mind being introduced at all.
"Don't mind me, we're actually friends from the same middle school. Dalthomil Junior High. However, I never thought U.A. would work us that much."
"It's all a matter of being well-rounded." explained Iida.
"Let me try to get this right... you're Tenya Iida..." Ochako said as she pointed out the blue-haired boy, then pointed to the other boy "and you're Deku Midoriya, right?"
The sound of glass cracking was heard, especially with Izuku's eyes widening at that name.
"Uh... about that. My real name is Izuku, not Deku. Deku is a word meaning 'useless'. Kaachan used to call me that a lot in our childhood." Izuku responded while being embarrassed by it at the same time.
"Kaachan is that kid with the ash-blonde hair, right?" said Joanna.
"Yes, that's him."
"Why? An insult isn't the proper way to greet a classmate!" Iida responded with a bit of disgust.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know! But Deku sounds the opposite of 'useless', almost like 'you can do it'!"
"Even though you turned it around, please don't call me Deku." Izuku stated. "It's still pretty insulting and... it doesn't fit the name of a Pro Hero."
"Oh. Okay, no problem, Midoriya."
As the four were talking, a familiar individual walked up to them and said "Already making friends on the first day? My cousin would be proud."
The four were caught off-guard by the individual: tall, lean, muscular, short-sleeved hoodie, and his very noticeable platinum-grey hair along with blue eyes. In the eyes of the other three, this man exuded power and if anything, he could definitely be a top-ranked Pro Hero. However, Izuku wasn't even intimidated, not one bit.
"Oh, hey, Rouga. The first day went great."
"Good to know, Izuku. However, we do need to train. My cousin insists."
"Need to cut this short, guys. See you later!" Izuku responded, following Rouga. The other three did wave their goodbyes, but Iida couldn't shake a certain feeling: this Rouga was more powerful than he let on.
Kasumi Residence
Izuku was performing pushups alongside Kensei, but it would transition from normal to one-handed in the span of 60 pushups. It was to prep for form practice.
Hokuto Steel-Shredding Clench!
Izuku remembered this attack, but it was done with one hand instead. The attacker grabbed a chunk of wood, then utilizing the finger strength alone, crushed it like it was made out of paper. Izuku then demonstrated it on a block of wood, crushing it albeit at a slower rate. However, he noticed his fingers bleeding a bit.
Hokuto Muscle Control Spin Kick!
Izuku followed his master's movements, it starts out with kicking the opponent with one leg, then a roundhouse kick with the other leg. In short, it's basically a technique that causes paralysis or more specifically, the enemy is under the user's control. Kensei explains it can be utilized to capture villains for interrogation or kill an enemy without dirtying your hands.
Hokuto Four-Way Slash!
Kensei jumped in the air and performed a spin kick, but it performed a full rotation. The teacher explained "The Four-Way Slash is meant to kill four surrounding enemies, or in the very least, cripple them for life. It's great when you need to clear some distance."
Izuku nodded, he had another option of subduing villains at least.
Hokuto Thousand Hand Destruction Fist!
In essence, it was an improved version of the Hokuto Hundred Crack Fist. A hundred increased to a thousand punches.
Hokuto Steel Muscle Severing Kick!
A straight-forward technique, but it works better as a counter-attack. Kensei explains "You block incoming attacks first, then you unleash a kick at both muscles, specifically the arm muscles."
"What happens after that?"
"Oh, simple. You cut their strength in half, but if taken further, you can permanently disable their arms."
"O-Oh. That's pretty harsh..."
"Hey, the guy lives at least."
Izuku couldn't really argue with that.
"Okay, we're going to review a few channeling points. Let's see if you can identify them."
"Alright!"
"The pressure point that reduces the enemy's speed to that of 1/100th."
"Kyūkutsuna!"
"The pressure point that turns minions against their superior?"
"Kofu!"
"The point that causes an enemy to follow the user's instructions once pressed."
"Toa!"
"An interrogation point below the temple."
"Zusho!"
"The point that restores eyesight."
"Kenmei!"
"The point that causes a person to speak, specifically within the upper jaw."
"Jogaku!"
"You definitely get full marks from that alone."
"I'm curious, Izuku. How is U.A. like so far?"
"From what I read in the curriculum, there are several departments in U.A. High School. The first? The Heroics Department. Students study to become heroes and earn the qualifications to get their licenses to publicly use their Quirks." Izuku stated, reading off a script.
"The second?"
"General Education Department. It's for students who couldn't make the cut for Heroics, all of them are aiming for college or other pursuits. However, it's possible for some General Education students to transfer into the Heroics course. It depends on a few factors: grades, skill, and performances? It's composed of 1-C through 1-E."
"And the rest?"
"The Support Department are in charge of creating Support Items, equipment meant to help out Pro Heroes out on the field. A fully stocked workplace with its student being full of creative minds. It composes of 1-F through 1-H.
The Management Department. They are business-minded: venture capitalism, managing hero agencies, and definitely dealing with public relations. They compose of 1-I through 1-K."
"Whoa, that's a lot of classes. However, I do suggest utilizing a few original techniques, mainly to divert some suspicion."
"Oh, right. Recommendation students with their high-end IQs."

AN:Oh, right. The OCs are actually going to make their appearances. Some of the inspirations behind them were either from comic book characters, other manga characters, and TV-only characters. It's only fair warning, plus I'm going to do the same thing for Hero Students, attacks in bold lettering.
I will re-iterate again, Izuku will not be in a harem.
