25 Chapter 25

The first test is a fifty-meter dash.

The first two to go to the starting line were Bakugo and Iida. Iida started to stretch while Bakugo clapped his hands together and closed his eyes with a grin.

He and Iida then crouched down into a sprinters stance as they waited for the go sign.

A small robot held a pistol up, "On your mark, get set, go!" It pulled a trigger as it released a 'pop' sound.

Iida's engines blasted him forward for a quick start, leaving clouds of dust behind him as he did so. While Bakugo created a powerful explosion that blasted him straight to the finish line.

The robot pointed at Bakugo, "1.98 seconds," before pointing at Iida, "3.04 seconds!"

"What the hell! That was fast! He's also one of the 'Four Stars' right!? Katsuki Bakugo!?" Someone shouted.

"They're all monsters!"

Iida glanced at Bakugo in some frustration, 'I could only go in third-gear for such a short distance. So this is 'Four Stars' huh? If I wanted to be a hero like my brother, I need to be better! For now, my goal are them!'

He turned towards Bakugo, Izuku, and Momo with a determined look.

Then others have their turns and most of them have average score of 5 seconds. After awhile, it was finally Momo's turn, she was paired up with a green haired girl with vines for hair who has her hands clasp together and eyes close as if she was praying.

The robot raised its pistol, "On your marks, get set, go!"

Momo immediately created a powerful blast of air from her feet as she 'glide' to the finish line. The green haired girl didn't use her Quirk and just ran.

The robot pointed at Momo and said, "2.06 seconds," before pointing at the vine haired girl, "6.34 seconds."

"Damn, these 'Four Stars' are really crazy!"

"What do you expect? They were trained by All Might himself."

After awhile, it was finally Izuku's turn. He was paired to a green haired girl with large eyes and was crouching on the ground like a frog.

He wondered if that was her quirk. But didn't dwell too much and immediately used 20% of One for All. He didn't released any pressure as he forcefully suppressed it.

Those winds and the like were just for showing off he sometimes used when he felt like it.

The robot raised its pistol, "On your marks, get set, go!"

In a flash of green, Izuku appeared on the finish line, startling the others who couldn't even see him move.

The robot pointed at him, "0.23 seconds."

Izuku clenched his fist, 'I can move around 200 meters per second in twenty percent, maybe even faster.'

The frog girl finally reached the finish line as the robot pointed at her, "5.58 seconds."

"Holy crap! I didn't even see him move!"

"That's so manly!"

The second test is a Grip Strength Test.

Izuku held the grip machine in his hand, watching the other students attempted to grip their machines as much as they could.

He just channeled One for All on his arms and gripped the machine until it broke apart with a loud crunch.

'I hope I don't have to pay for this,' Izuku then looked towards Momo and Bakugo, ignoring the looks his classmates were giving him.

Bakugo got 103.7 kg, while Momo got 89.4 kg. Izuku also noticed that Camie got 66.8 kg, he was honestly surprised by her score, she honestly doesn't look that strong, but he guessed that he can't judge a book by its cover.

He also noticed that Ochako got 68.3 kg, and he wasn't the least surprised since Ochako herself told her that she trained herself.

Aside from them, there is this guy with multiple arms who got 540 kg. He can't say he was surprised considering the dude's Quirk and his physique.

The other person who caught his interest was the vine haired girl who used her Quirk and got 305.2 kg.

The next test was the standing long jump. Only some people were able to clear the sand box, which are Izuku, Momo, Bakugo, the dude named Aoyama, and the frog girl named Tsuyu.

The fourth test is sustained sideways jump. Izuku came first, footwork is essential in martial arts, especially Capoeira, and he moved so fast he created afterimage of himself.

The second was Momo who created springs on her feet and remained pretty chill throughout the test.

The 5th trial was a softball pitch, and the first one up was Ochako.

"Go, go, go!" The girl chanted as she throw the ball into the sky, and didn't look like it was going to stop time soon.

After a few seconds Aizawa showed her score, which was shocking to say the least.

"Infinity!? Holy cow! She got an infinity!" Was the collective responds of the class, making Ochako blush a bit.

After a few more people Katsuki was finally up. Bakugo went into the outlined white circle, rotating his arm and stretching it. He brought his arm back and his grip tightened around the ball.

"DIE!" He threw the ball with a heavy explosion behind it, sending it launching into the air with destructive force.

After a few seconds, Aizawa showed his score to everyone in the class.

"1011.3 Meters."

"Over one kilometer!? Seriously what is All Might feeding them!?"

"Is there really such a huge gap between us? Aren't we all students just like them!?"

The next one to take a test is Momo, who created some sort of bazooka and used the softball as an ammunition and fire it off, blasting the ball up to 975.6 meters.

Izuku was asked by Aizawa if he wanted to take the test again but he refused, he already used his full power the first time he threw the ball, and he was now a little tired after all these test, he might score a little lower if he took the test again.

Though if he went over his limit and use 30% he would surely score more, but he doesn't want to feel sore and hurt just to surpass his already high score.

After that, they took three more test before Aizwa told everyone to gather around him show their ranking. Those who don't have combat related Quirks are more nervous than the others.

After the total results were calculated, Aizawa put the rankings on a holographic screen.

"I..." The invicible girl stared at the screen, no one can see her, but they knew that she should be feeling downcast for being last place.

"Toru..." The pink haired girl looked at the invicible girl in sadness.

Toru smiled, though no one can see it, "I-It's fine! I-I d-did my b-best, a-and I d-don't have any r-regrets. I-I just w-wish I-I've d-done more—"

"Oh yeah, I was just lying about the expulsion, that was just to bring out your best performance." Aizawa said with a sick and sadistic smile, interrupting Toru.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"EEEEEEHH!?" Nearly the whole class yelled.

Izuku rolled his eyes and whispered to Momo, Katsuki and Camie, "He totally mean it. Last year, our homeroom teacher expelled an entire class because he deemed them 'hopeless'."

Momo stared at him in shock, mouth wide open. 'I...I actually thought that it's just a logical ruse! So he was being serious all this time?! U.A sure is scary!'

Aizawa's smile was gone by now as he started to walk away with his hands in his pockets. "Well, that's all for today. Prepare for another hard day of work tomorrow."

Katsuki and Izuku watched as their teacher walked away.

"He's really cool, just the kind of teacher I will like." Katsuki remarked.

Izuku's eyes suddenly widened as he watched their teacher's back. "Ah! Now I remember!"

He immediately took out a notebook and ran towards Aizawa, ignoring the calls of his classmates and friends.

"Aizawa-sensei!" He called out, stopping Aizawa before he could walked around the corner of the building.

Aizawa turned towards Izuku, 'This is the kid that is similar to that heroic buffoon, in more ways than one. I can already see the problems he'd bring in the near future.'

"What is it problem child?"

Izuku froze, "P-Problem..?" he shook his head showed him a notebook and a pen, "Can I have your autograph!?"

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, "Why?" He was actually a little surprised, after all this is the first time that someone asked for his autograph. He mostly stayed out of the media after all.

Izuku grinned, "I remember you now, you're Eraserhead right? That Underground Hero? You see this notebook is where I kept all the autographs of Pros I met, so can I ask for yours?"

Aizawa was surprised at that. As far as he knew, only the police and some villains knew who he was. The Hero Association was doing their best to suppress every information about the underground heroes.

He stared at the eager look on the boy's face then to the purple notebook and pen on his hands before sighing and taking it.

He flipped it open, finding a space where he can sign it. He was a bit surprised by how many signature is on this notebook.

'All Might, Hawks, Best Jeanist, Kamui Woods, Mirku, Wash, Gang Orca, Ryukyu, Emi!? He even got her autograph?!'

However, Aizawa didn't dwell on it too much and flipped the pages until he finally found a space amd wrote his hero name before signing it.

"Here." He closed it and hand it back to Izuku, "If that's all then I'd be going now."

Seeing that Izuku was already focused on his notebook, Aizawa decided to leave, though his curiosity got the better of him as he asked.

"Problem child, how'd you know about me?"

Izuku shrugs, "Just some info I pieced together from the Internet."

Aizawa doesn't look convinced, but decided to not pry further and walked away. Though, he kept note about asking All Might later.

Izuku watched Aizawa leave, knowing he didn't believe a word he said. In truth, Izuku formed his own little information network to keep tabs on what's happening on the underworld.

It was probably around two years ago, where he gathered some people on the slums and paid them to work for him. He thought that it might help him once he became a pro and decided to go underground.

His information network still isn't that big, but it was expanding. Right now, the only one who knew about it are Momo, Bakugo, and Melissa.

Momo was the one who gave them funds, and Melissa was the one who supply them with Support Items, of course the items were only industrial grades, but it was better than nothing.

Bakugo was giving them some 'special training' so they can at least protect themselves.

Izuku smiled before returning to his friends, "What a pain for a first day."

-------

AN: Alright, before you all comment something about I'm overestimating Izuku's 20%. Let me tell you something first.

Spoiler...

In the manga, using his other Quirks to allow him to use a move he dubbed as Faux 100%, Izuku moved several times faster than a sniper rifle bullet and reached Overhaul before the bullet does. How fast exactly? Well, he caught up to the bullet just as it was about to hit Overhaul. The fastest sniper bullet in the real world can move from a chamber at about 1,700 miles per hour. Izuku moved faster than that, so much so that he caught up to the bullet which was only a few feet away from Chisaki and pushed him to the side!

Let's not mention that Overhaul was standing on top of a building and Izuku was too far away from him, in fact I didn't even saw him on the image, and before I knew it, he was just there, pushing Overhaul to the side.

As for strength, well at 30% Izuku was able to lift a bus full of people in ONE hand and run fast enough to evade Tomura Shigaraki's decay and restrain the enhanced Tomura with aid from Blackwhip.

I just wanted to say this before someone said that I'm overpowering Izuku. In fact, I feel like I'm nerfing him big time. But meh, he was already strong for U.A's standards except maybe Mirio.
