8 Quirk Test

Chapter-8

"This is awesome!"

While the students were getting excited at the thought that they can use their quirk without any restriction. It was the first time in their life, they were allowed to use their quirk.

"Awesome you say…" Aizawa looked at them and smiled widely " You are hoping to become heroes in 3 years and you expect this to be all fun and laughs?"

"Let me clarify…" He looked at each of the students for a moment, making sure that all of them were looking at him. "The one with the lowest score here will be EXPELLED"

"WHAAA!?" Almost all the students were shocked at that.

Akira smirked slightly, he was happy that the hero course wasn't going to treat them like babies.

'There is an article that U.A. did expel a full class of students. Could it be that Aizawa was the one who did it?' Akira thought while observing his classmate's expressions. Most of the boys were calm except a few like Mineta and Midoria. The girls were collectively calm except Ochako.

"Welcome to the 'real' hero course!!" 

"Sheesh, he sure is dramatic. Don't you think so?" Akira asked the only boy in this class with a mysterious aura. Half of his body was covered by a layer of ice and the other half had white hair on the side.

"...Yes." He replied and turned back to Aizawa.

"Are you trying to have a two-face look?" Akira asked, for a second forgetting the fact that DC isn't a thing here.

"I don't understand."

"Oh, it's just an old comic character, you may haven't read it." Akira lied and diverted his attention back to Aizawa.

Shoto, who was surprised that interacted with him, just stared at Akira and noted to keep an eye on him.

Aizawa didn't waste anymore time and started the test soon.

He smashed almost all the tests with absolute ease, it went like this,

Event 1: Fifty-metre dash. He recorded a time of 4 seconds with the help of thrusters.

Event 2: Long Jumps. He used springed shoes and destroyed the other's records.

Event 3: side jumps. He made two small trampolines at both the sides

Event 4: Grip strength. It was easy as he just made a hydraulic gauntlet over his arm and broke the machine.

The last event was again throwing balls since he already did it, he wasn't asked to again. He wasn't able to score the top score in this test as Ochako's quirk was too compatible for this test and made her score infinity.

"Man, your quirk is like a cheat…" Eijiro said with slight envy.

"You can literally do anything with it! How is this even fair?" 

"I totally agree." Momo nodded.

"You're the last person I want to hear that from, your quirk is literally like mine." Akira said to Momo.

"Mine makes me exhausted quickly though."

"Skill issue" 

"Wha-!" 

"Midoriya isn't doing very well it seems…" Akira muttered with suspension, he was doubting if Midoriya was holding back. Or if he was just a fraud.

'He can't be a fraud… else U.A. would have long expelled him.' Akira thought as he observed Midoriya carefully, 'Then again he trained a lot in that beach too, so he's not a fraud.'

"Why isn't he using his quirk?" 

"He's afraid, his quirk hurts him everytime he uses it." Ochako said.

"Eh? What?" Denki asked aloud.

"She said his quirk hurts him." Momo said.

"I know that, I have ears too! I was just surprised!"

"Hmm… how is that even possible? I know some quirks can be a nuisance in day to day life, but how can a quirk physically hurt the user?" Momo wondered out loud.

*BOOOM!!* A loud booming noise interrupted all of them as a dust cloud emerged, covering the whole place.

"I.. I can still move!" Midoriya finally threw the ball after learning how to focus his powers just to his finger.

"Woah…"

"What just happened?"

Slowly the dust cloud settled, revealing a huge green shield covering over the students and Aizawa. Which protected them from the shockwave.

It was of course Akira who did it. 

"Quick thinking…" Aizawa looked at Akira, "Good."

'So he does give compliments!' All of the students had the same thought at that time.

"I didn't ask for your help…" Bakugo said to Akira with a mean look.

"I too didn't help you, it just so happens that some of our classmates were beyond you. You just got in the range.

 Akira smirked, finding Bakugo's temper funny.

"You…" Bakugo tried to step forward but found himself bound by Aizawa's scarf.

"Don't waste time here, the school's gonna end soon." Aizawa pulled his scarf back after seeing Bakugo stop, "Wanna see your results right?"

"Hmph!"

'He really is an asshole.' Akira confirmed that Bakugo was indeed suffering from a common disease called being an asshole.

Aizawa didn't waste time and immediately pulled up the results on his tablet after plotting a table. 

The ranking showed,

1)Akira Kento.

2)Momo Yayorozu

3)Shoto Todoroki

4)Katsuki Bakugo

5)Denki Kaminari

6)Tenya Ida

7)Fumikage Tokoyami

8)Mezo Shoji

9)Mashirao Ojiro

10)Eijiro Kirishima

11)Tsuyu Asui

12)Rikido Sato 

13)Mina Ashido

14) Ochako Uraraka

15) Hanta Sero

16)Kyoka Jiro

17)Toru Hagakure

18)Yuga Aoyama

19)Minoru Mineta

20)Izuku Midoriya

'Damn, that guy got last place? How the fuck did that midget beat him? Did he not give it his all?' That was the only thought that ran on Akira's mind as he saw Midoriya standing there like a statue.

Frozen in fear.

'Did he fumble in fear? Just how nervous is he?' Akira wondered.

"Well, farewell dude" Akira muttered and started getting ready to go home.

"Well that's it for today folks, pack your bags and go home." Aizawa turned off the tablet and started walking away, and just as Midoriya was about to lose all hope.

Aizawa stopped walking, "Oh by the way, I lied about the expelling part."

"WHATTT!!??" 

"Take this as a lesson for your careers, never take anything at face value."

"He got me…" Eijiro just chuckled, finding AIzawa's sense of humour kinda funny.

"To be honest it was pretty obvious, did you all really believe it?" Momo asked the others. She thought he was just lying to make them afraid from the very start.

Akira thought about telling about the incident when a whole class was expelled, but chose not to and walked off to the changing area to change to their uniform and go home.

"Look at him, acting cool and all" Denki said to Jiro who was standing near him.

But Akira didn't even glance at him and continued walking.

"Hey wait for me! Let's go home together!"

Seeing Denki and Akira's interactions, Jiro blushed in embarrassment due to her imagination, she started to speculate some intimate stuff.

"You sure he won't be annoyed?" Setsuna asked Akira as they walked.

A few metres behind them was Denki, who was crouching on the ground with imaginary tears running down his eyes because Akira told him to go home by himself.

"Don't worry he'll be fine. It's rare for you to not go to your house in a car" Akira shrugged, "I don't want a third wheel when it's just the two of us."

"Awww… when did my baby get so romantic?" Setsuna hugged his arm, finding his actions very romantic.

"I was always like this, you just didn't notice." Akira smirked and intertwined his hands with hers, "So what rank did you get on the quirk test?"

"Eh? What test?" Setsuna asked cluelessly.

"What? You didn't have a test?" Akira was surprised. "We had a quirk test today, didn't your class not have it?"

"Well we were asked to use our quirks to perform various tasks, but it wasn't a test. Vald-sensei just said he wanted to observe and estimate our levels." Setsuna told him what happened to her class.

Akira just chuckled after hearing that, "Ha, guess we just got the short-end of the stick."

"Hmm, what happened to your class? Were you made to take a test?" She asked him, curious after seeing his reaction.

"Kinda… our sensei was kinda edgy, not in a bad way though. He's just serious about this stuff and said he'd expel the student who got the lowest score." Akira replied, he then proceeded to say what happened during the quirk test.

 "From what I saw of Aizawa-sensei, I kinda expected him to be a bit edgy.", Setsuna said after listening to the whole story, " But… not gonna lie, that was kinda anti-climatic. Not that I wanted the boy to be expelled. Poor him, can't even use his quirk" 

"That's what I thought too, honestly it made things a bit more interesting but at the end he back pedalled." Akira said his view about the matter.

"I don't think he'd have done that, even if the kid wasn't able to use his quirk without putting him in the hospital bed."

"Hmm… that's what Momo thought too, but if you ask me, I think he was indeed serious about the expulsion part, well at least from the hero course. Last year there was an article that a whole class in the U.A. was expelled, though they were readmitted after a while." Akira said what he knew and thought.

"Damn… I never knew." Stesuna was a bit surprised by the info. She didn't even think for a moment that there was a chance that they'd expel someone from the hero course. "Guess I can't slack off huh?"

"Yeah. I can refer you to a lady instructor I know if you want to." Akira said casually while checking his mails.

"Woah, woah first that Momo girl and now this instructor?" Setsuna teased him, poking his rib with her elbow, "Should I be concerned Mr. Kento?"

Seeing her teasing him, Akira too put his phone down and smirked, "Maybe you should, after all this is premium goods you're looking at right here, the demand is always there."

"You bastard, this is the time you were supposed to kiss me and say some romantic stuff." Setsuna slapped his shoulder in annoyance, though she knew he was being playful it did bother her a bit.

"Oww, is my baby hurt? Does it want some patting?" Akira did what she did to him a while ago.

"Get lost dumbass, I'm never walking home again!" 

"Haha!" Seeing her annoyed for the first time, Akira felt like he achieved something new and laughed, which just annoyed her more.

"Youu..!" She stomped his foot hard.

"OOOWWW!" 

"Hmph! Serves you right!" Setsuna walked forward proudly.

But soon stopped and looked back a bit concerned. Her heart stopped for a moment when she saw him crouched on the road, holding his leg.

"Did it hurt badly? I didn't mean to hit hard…" She got sad and walked towards him. "Let me have a look"

"Ha! You really thought you could hurt me?" Akira laughed, revealing his leg which was covered by a green fog.

Showing that he used his power to protect his leg.

"You…" Setsuna blushed in embarrassment. "The station is here right? Goodbye and don't talk to me!"

"Hey hey I was just playing." Akira caught up with her and pulled her towards him, giving her a kiss.

"He- Le-... Mmmm.." Setsuna pushed him away with zero strength behind her push and soon melted into the kiss.

Akira refrained from using his tongue and just placed repeated smooches to her lips in a pace which Setsuna liked and returned.

"So, happy now?" Akira finished the kiss and asked her with a smile.

"Hmm…" Setsuna nodded embarrassingly and avoided eye contact, "Go home safe… I'll text you later…"

"Yeah, see ya later" Akira waved his hand and entered the train station.

Seeing him leave Setsuna too started her way towards her house. While still deep in thoughts of Akira.

While Akira was thinking something different, 'will eating McDonald's for the 3rd time in the week kill me?'
