Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Quirk Apprehension Test and Introductions.

********************************************************************************************

======================

3rd person POV.

======================

Aizawa after naming each exercise looked towards Izuku as he said " Izuku Midoriya, as the top scorer in the physical exam, you demonstrate the ball throw.".

Izuku nodded as he stepped up in the circle with the ball in hand. Izuku using chakra, had stuck the ball to his hand and made hand signs with the other hand as he thought (Wind-style : Gale Palm). 

Right when the Jutsu was about to release, Izuku released his hold on the ball as it got hit with the gale palm and was launched into the sky breaking a few sound barriers. Izuku looked at Aizawa who looked at the meter. Aizawa then turned to the class and said

" If you don't know your limits, you're useless in the field.". He then showed the score to the class " That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero.".

Everyone saw the score read 1589 meters.

""""WOAH!"""", "wow, that is such a high score.". " Are you kidding !!? how can we match that.". "godddammm, 1589 meters.". " As expected of Izu-kun.".

Bakugou who closely observed thought ( is his quirk related to air, I don't know but it's strong. I doubt my explosions can take it half as far.).

Aizawa then said " Like the school's motto, You guys have to perform plus ultra to remain in this career.". Everyone had nervous beads of sweat as Aizawa gains a scary grin as he says " Demo's over. Stop staring and get moving.". The class nods as everyone starts to warm up by themselves.

1st test: 50-meter dash.

Iida and Tsuyu were the first against each other. The robot said start as both of them dashed to the finish. Iida due to his quirk managed to get 3.04 seconds. Tsuyu, who jumped horizontally with less height and more forward force, got 5.58 seconds. Iida thought ( since it was only 50 meters, I could only charge up to 3rd gear.). 

One by one, everyone went and most people whose quirk wasn't related to speed or physical enhancement got between 6.80 to 8 with a short purple-ball haired boy getting the lowest.

It was finally Izuku and Bakugou turn as both went to the start line, Bakugou stood leaning forward with his hands facing back to propel himself with explosions meanwhile Izuku just stood with his hands in his pocket.

The robot showed start as Izuku instantly flashed to the finish as the robot read " 0.13 seconds.". Bakugou didn't let the shock distract him as he propelled himself past the finish as the robot announced " 4.56 seconds.".

The class was shocked at Izuku's score even Aizawa who saw the entrance exam footage, witnessing it live was a new thing as he thought ( That was soo fast! I blinked and he was finished, that speed is as big of a liability as it is a strength if the kid can't control it). 

Izuku showed no visible reaction at his fastest speed with a flash step. He didn't reveal his lightning step because he wants it as a trump card. Izuku was swarmed by his classmates as they all asked him questions. Izuku sweat dropped as Aizawa announced the next test which made everyone pay attention.

2nd test: Grip strength.

Izuku who practiced for years to hold the Kubikiribocho knew he can do well on his own strength but wanted to add chakra to see what the results would be. One by one everyone did the grip strength. Momo got the highest amongst girls followed by Ochako and Akeno. Momo created a mini hydraulic press which took the grip strength to 1000 kgs. 

Izuku saw the guys yelling in excitement as he saw the guy with multiple arms get a score of 540 with 3 of his arms. Izuku was last as he took the grip machine and gripped it while also adding a small amount of chakra to it. His score was an error. Izuku was satisfied by it as Mineta who saw his score yelled

"ARE YOU A MONSTER!?! AN ERROR WITH ONLY ONE ARM!?!.". 

His class once again wanted to ask a load of questions but Izuku put his arm up and said " I will explain later in class." Everyone nodded as Aizawa announced the next test.

3rd test: standing long jump.

Aizawa explained "Without any run-up, you are supposed to jump as far as you can from a neutral position on the sand, if you crossed it, you are measured as " crossed the sand pit.". Izuku saw Uraraka who went first. She first jumped and touched her exposed elbow which made her float forwards as she then touched all her fingers together and said " release" as she landed over the pit.

Izuku was impressed with the quirk as he thought ( Her quirk defies gravity itself. But she has to be mega careful not to send someone to orbit.). Bakugou and Tsuyu also managed to clear the sand pit as it was Izuku's turn now. Izuku stood as he applied chakra to his feet and took a giant leap up to a height of 100 feet and landed quite a bit away from the sand pit.

After his turn, it was Momo's , she then created a pogo stick with extra spring to it as she also cleared the sand-pit easily. Akeno was seen making wings of lightning as she flew over the sand pit. Izuku was amazed by her quirk. It's like a fantasy game where you can control the element to do anything.

4th test: Repeated side-steps.

Izuku did well on it due to his flexibility and acrobatics training but the Purple short boi took the 1st place with Momo in second as she created mini trampolines angled in a way she can jump between them faster.

5th test: ball throw.

Izuku decided to sit this one out as he saw many of his classmates use their quirk in creative ways to get scores like Akeno who threw her ball and then hit it with a lightning strike which propelled it till 400 meters.

Momo made an entire cannon as she got 1800 meters. Uraraka was the shocker as she got Infinity like Izuku expected. Bakugu did well as he got 597 meters.

Izuku, having a bit of free time, analyzed his classmates thinking about their quirks and their personalities. The pink haired girl and the invisible girl were both social butterflies. The yellow haired guy with a lightning strike mark on his hair was a comedian type as the red haired one was a muscle-head.

6th test: sit-ups. 

Everyone was partnered up with one person to do the sit-ups. Izuku got the highest number with 230 followed by a 150 by Kirishima and a 140 by Sato.

7th test: seated toe-touch.

This test is to determine how much you can bend forward and reach with your fingers while sitting. Izuku got first due to his long arms and flexibility followed by Momo and Mina.

8th test: Long-distance run.

This test is not to determine how far you can run but how long you can keep running. Izuku and IIda were in the lead with a fast pace while Iida was in 2nd gear to keep up with Izuku's normal running.

Momo was following them in a bicycle run by electricity. At the 10 minute mark, Mineta dropped out followed by Sero, Jirou and Toru in 20 minutes.

Then the rest except Momo, Kirishima, Iida and Izuku dropped out between 30 to 35 minutes. Kirishima was gone by 40 minutes whereas Momo ran out of lipids and battery power to supply electricity as she and Iida dropped out at exactly 1 hour. 

Izuku was sweating a little under the sun but otherwise good and ready to keep running but Aizawa stopped him seeing he was the last one left. Aizawa then faced the exhausted class except Izuku as he said "I am not gonna show the individual scores, so here is your combined score.".

1.)Izuku Midoriya.

2.)Momo Yaoyorozu.

3.)Shoto Todoroki.

4.) Tenya Iida.

5.) Katsuki Bakugou.

.

 .

.

20.) Minoru Mineta.

Mineta started yelling " NOOO! I just got here! I haven't even lived my dream life yet!". Everyone looked at the crying and distraught boy as Aizawa said "Well the expelling part was just a ruse. Now go, you have lunch in 30 minutes and you have the rest of the afternoon off and the classes will officially start from tomorrow.".

Everyone was in shock as Momo said " Huh? I thought everyone knew he was just kidding. Maybe I should have said it>" ((( YEA NO KIDDING))). thought most of the students as Izuku chuckled to himself as he thought (Typical Momo.). Everyone then returned to the changing room.

After changing, everyone went to the classroom as students either talked to their neighbor or kept to themselves. The blue-haired specs guy then go to the podium which got everyone's attention as he said " Everyone, please! It would be highly beneficial for us to properly introduce ourselves in an orderly manner!".

Everyone agreed as one by one they all introduced themselves. People were introducing themselves in seating order. Now it was Akeno's turn to introduce herself. She stood up and with a gentle smile said " Ara ara, I'm Akeno Himejima. I enjoy cooking and *a sultry smirk*… experimenting with lightning. Please take care of me.". 

Everyone clapped for her whilst being slightly scared at her expression when she said about experimenting with lightning. It continued till it was the last, Izuku stood up.

"Well I am Izuku Midoriya, I like my friends, music, playing guitar and training with my quirk. My quirk is called internal energy. The energy travels through my body through more than 300 points. I can control the energy to enhance myself or I can convert it into elemental energy such as Fire, Water, Lightning, Earth and wind. I can also channel this chakra in ways I will keep a secret for now.".

Everyone was in shock listening to Izuku's quirk as many commented on its versatility and usage while Momo knows how much more uses it has and how hard Izuku worked with it. The pink haired girl, Mina then stood up as she asked " Btw Midoriya and Shoji, why do you both wear masks to cover the lower part of your faces.". 

" My mouth is very wide and I have sharp teeth which might scare kids so I am adopting this mask to control the factor." answered Shoji as Izuku then followed " I just like it like this.".

Mina hesitated but accepted Izuku's answer as it was finally time for lunch as everyone went for it.

Izuku was walking together with Akeno, Momo and Jirou as they were making their way to lunch. Mineta who saw the girls interacting freely with Izuku had eyes filled with envy.

(That bastard, I bet that his face is ugly under the mask, I will reveal it and make his popularity crash into the hell of us normies!). Mineta had fire in his eyes as he started planning his ways.

Izuku and the rest appreciated the lunch as it was made by the hero Lunch Rush, Midoriya had stars in his eyes as he even asked for an autograph from the said hero causing Momo to chuckle at his adorable enthusiasm.

After lunch was over, students returned to their classes. Hero-course had the free afternoon so everything just talked or were making friends with each other when suddenly the door opened revealing an orange-haired girl who walked in with 19 other students.

" Hello Class 1-A! We're Class 1-B. Since we'll be working together, we thought it'd be best to properly introduce ourselves.", said a girl with orange hair tied up in high ponytail style.

" You must be kidding Kendo , why must we the superior class stoop so low to get along with this low-". The orange haired girl chopped his neck as he fell unconscious as everyone else sweat dropped while Bakugou thought ( Why does that dude attitude seem familiar to me).

A vine-haired girl who was looking around spotted Izuku as she smiled and made her way to himas she bowed forward deeply

" Arigato Midoriya-san, You have saved me from a big fate. The school has told me too. My parents would also like to thank you after school.".

Izuku nervously shook his hands around

" It's alright miss, I did what any hero will do. I am glad you are okay right now and in hero-course too!.".The girl smiled as she said " My name is Ibara Shiozaki, It must be divine providence that we meet again, Midoriya-san".

Izuku just gave her an eye-smile as everyone clapped a bit for Izuku and 1-b students started introducing themselves with the blondie haired buy from before who tried to diss our class again but got threatened with another chop by Itsuka Kendo as he silently murmured his introduction as Class 1-A was amused by his situation.
