Episode 3.5: What I Can Do for Now (part 2 of Let the Games Begin)

WARNING!: Bad language, also "-" means different tests.


-Test 1: 50-meter dash-

No One's POV

The first people that are starting are Iida and the green-haired frog name Tsuyu Asui, "Runners, on your marks. Ready—" the Measuring Device made a gunshot sound meaning Go, which they started running, well, Iida runs while Tsu hops. Iida was using his Quirk which makes him go faster, and that got him 3.04 seconds while Tsu got 5.58 seconds.

"Tenya Iida! His Quirk: Engine! As you can see his legs are pretty dang fast!"

Next, it was Ochako and a guy that has a huge tail name Mashirao Ojiro, he's stretching his tail while Ochako is using her Quirk to make her clothes and shoes lighter. When the gunshot sound went off, she started running as Ojiro use his tail to make himself go faster

"Ochako Uraraka! Her Quirk: Zero Gravity! She can nullify the gravitational pull of anything she touches. But if she uses her power too much, she totally hurls!"

Ojiro has 5.49 seconds while Ochako has 7.15 seconds, she stopped and put her fingertips together to stop using her Quirk, and then smile thinking it's better than her Junior High. Next was a sparkling blonde boy name Yuga Aoyama and the pink girl name Mina Ashido, "Nice attempts, mon amis. But you're just not showing enough panache!" He said as he jumped and use his Quirk when the Measuring Device made a gunshot noise again, "Let your powers shine!" He yelled out.

"Yuga Aoyama! His Quirk: Navel Laser! That's right, a belly button laser. But he can't shoot it forever."

Aoyama has 5.51 seconds, he turns to other students are and sparkled "Shooting my beautiful beam for more than a second hurts my tummy." He commented and that made them sweat-dropped of what he said 'What a tool.' The 4 certain people thought. 'Testing the upper limits of their powers helps me asses their room for growth. It becomes clear what they can and can't do. Their true potential.' Aizawa thought as he looks to see who is next, and it was Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo. Gunshot went off making them start running, 'Sometimes, pros have to be creative in order to succeed.' Aizawa thought more, Bakugo sticks his arms out as he yelled out Burst Speed making him faster as he used his Quirk, making him have 4.13 seconds while Midoriya has 7.02 seconds.

"Katsuki Bakugo! His Quirk: Explosion!"

"My power has more uses than anyone else's in this school," Bakugo commented as he looked at his hands finding smoke coming out of them until it disappeared, Midoriya was resting his hands on his knees thinking of what should he do while trying to take some breaths. Up next was Izumi and the boy that has weird elbows name Hanta Sero, Izumi took her shoes off and put them to the side and got ready to the starting side, "Um, what is she doing?" "You'll find out soon," Yuki answered Ochako's question. Gunshot went off making the both of them go, Sero use his tape to make him go faster but then Izumi yelled out, "Burst Speed Extreme!" and that made her zoom past him making her fastest as explosions come out of her feet and when they finished, Izumi got 1.15 seconds while Sero has 5.01 seconds due to getting back up when he got blown away a bit, which shocked everyone except Yuki who is smiling for her twin sister, but a certain ash-blonde boy went from shocked to flustered a bit.

Next, it was Todoroki and Yuki, like Izumi did, Yuki took her shoes off, but gave them to Izumi and went to the starting line where Todoroki is. Gunshot went off and both of them use their Quirks, Todoroki uses his Ice to make him faster but Yuki was fastest when she uses her Water Quirk to slip and slide, and when they made it to the end, Yuki got the same score as her sister while Todoroki got 2.10 seconds. Izumi gave Yuki's shoes back and then high five, meanwhile, Todoroki stares at them, mostly to Yuki with a blank look on his face.


-Test 2: Grip Strength-

Midoriya was thinking about keeping the egg blowing up as he's holding the grip weight, then started to grip on it until he heard it beep, he looked at what he has and was shocked when he had 56.0 kg, then he heard Sero saying to a guy that has duplicate arms, name Mezo Shoji has 540 kg, and that made Midoriya shocked as he looked at his grip weight once more, then hear someone yelled out, "Wow Izumi! You got 68.5 kg?!" He turned and see Ochako was the one yelled out as Izumi looked at the tool in her hand,

"It's nothing, it's not better than the guy that has duplicated arms." Izumi commented in a monotone voice still looking at the tool, "W-What do you have Yuki?" Midoriya asked when he came towards her, she looked at him and showed her kg, and that made him shocked when he saw she has the same kg as he does but 0.1 in front of him, "I thought you'll get the same kg as your sister." "I rather take things easy instead of pushing myself too hard." She answered as she smiles, then looked left and right to see if anyone is looking but no one is so she went closer to his ear. "Plus, what Mr. Aizawa said is a lie, he's not going to expel anybody that's going to be in last place, so make sure you keep a note of that and just calm down, okay?" He was shocked that she's telling him this, but at least he gets to know that he wouldn't or anybody else would get expelled, "Okay, I'll keep that in mind." He said determinedly to her, and that made her smile as she pats his fluff hair and walks away to where her sister is. He looked at his kg again, but then started to relax a bit as he slowly softly smile.


-Test 3: Standing Long Jump-

Aoyoma started first and he used his Quirk to go across. Bakugo jumped but use his Quirk to boost himself to get across. Midoriya tried his best to jump afar but then fell down when he crosses mid-way, 'Focus...' Midoriya thought as his face turned to serious, but is still nervous.


-Test 4: Repeated Side Steps-

Midoriya is now freaking out when he saw the short purple ball haired boy, name Mineta going side to side really fast since he's bouncing left to right from his balls, Yuki and Izumi saw this which made them look at each other and look back at Midoriya with a worried look on their faces.


-Test 5: Ball Throw-

Ochako uses her Quirk on the ball to make it lighter, and when she throws it, the ball went higher, and higher, and higher until it was never seen again. Aizawa showed her score to the class and it showed infinity, which made them shocked and fascinated, "That's insane! How's that possible?!" Kaminari exclaimed with a shocked look on his face, while Midoriya looks like he's going to pass out when he saw that, 'This is bad. I've gotta come up with some kind of a game plan. Everyone's had at least one crazy-good score already.' Midoriya thought as he closes his eyes thinking of what he should do, a hand rested on his shoulder which made him freak out and turn to who was that until he calmed down a bit when he saw Izumi looking at him worriedly.

"Are you okay?" She asked and you could hear in her voice that she is worried about him, he was surprised for a second until his eyes went to normal "Y-Yea, I-I'm fine. Why?" "I just want to make sure, also Mr. Aizawa called you up." "O-Oh, r-right, thanks." He said thanking her as he walked to where the circle is and got handed a ball from Yuki when he was about to walk past her, she whispered good luck to him which made him nodded as he nervously went into the circle, he looks at the ball that is now in his hand, 'All that's left is this, the distance run, sit-ups, and the seated toe touch. It's now or never. This is my best chance to use One For All.' He thought as he now getting nervous.

Izumi and Yuki have a now worried look on their faces which Nozomi and Ochako saw, but they didn't want to bring attention so they kept quiet, "If Midoriya doesn't shape up soon, he's the one going home." Iida speaks up which got the Uraraka siblings, the Kobayashi twins, and Bakugo's attention but that made Bakugo cocky and pissed, "Huh? Of course, he is. He's a Quirkless loser." Izumi was about to lose her mind and about to speak up but luckily Iida did "He has a Quirk. Did you not hear about what he did in the entrance exam?" But that got Bakugo confused and more irritated cause he didn't hear any of this at all. Meanwhile, Aizawa was watching very closely at Midoriya, knowing what he's going to do, 'Here it comes.' Aizawa thought to himself, Midoriya started to think of his mom when she said she was proud of him, and then All Might when he told Midoriya that he too can become a hero. Then without thinking, he put his arm back and in slow motion, he throws his arm forward as his whole arm started to glow, Izumi and Yuki's eyes widen in nervous and scared when both of them know what's about to happen next. Aizawa closes his eyes and reopens them again revealing now red glowing eyes.

When he throws the ball... it landed not even far enough, making the measuring device 5A yelled out 46 meters, and that made Midoriya's eyes widen in fear and in shock as his eyes are shadowed from his hair, "... What gives? I was trying you use it just now." Midoriya said still in shocked as he looked at both of his hands, thinking of what just happened until Aizawa spoke up, "I erased your Quirk." Midoriya turn and gasp when he saw Aizawa, all the students turn and look at Aizawa and was surprised as well, Izumi and Yuki was more shock yet still has worried in their eyes, Aizawa's hair was floating upward as his scarf is starting to look like bandages when they split apart around his neck and now floating, "The judges for this exam were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school." "Wait, you did what to my—" He cut himself off when he saw the yellow goggles that were on his neck.

"Those goggles. I know you! You can look at someone and cancel out their powers. The Erasure Hero. Eraser Head!" He exclaimed as he backed away a bit, then the other kids started to mumbled saying "Eraser? Who's that?" "Oh, I've heard of him. I think he works on the down-low." and continue mumbling, Izumi was stiff like stone while Yuki is shaken up when they saw what happened, Yuki and Izumi look at the corner of their eyes to see All Might is hiding behind the wall so nobody won't see him, both of them knows what he's thinking but right now they need to look of what's in front of them, "You're not ready. You don't have control over your power." Aizawa told him which made Midoriya gasp as he backed away more, getting more scared, "Were you planning to break your bones again? Counting on someone else to save your useless body?" "No! That's not what I was trying to do!" He yelled which made Aizawa use his scarf and wrapped around Midoriya's body and pulled him closer, Izumi was about to walk where they are but Yuki grabbed her arm making her stopped dead in her tracks, she turned to look at her twin sister and saw her shook her head no, Izumi turns to look back at the two as her body is shaken a bit, just want to punch him here and there on the spot, but stopped from doing so, with their increased hearing, they hear this:

"No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle." He told Midoriya which made him gasp softly as his eyes widen a bit, "You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous hero I know. One who saved 1,000 people by himself and become a legend. But even with that drive, you're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down. Sorry, Midoriya. With your power, there's no way you can become a hero." Aizawa said done explaining to him, Midoriya is now speechless, has nothing to say as his eyes now widen in shocked and in fear. Aizawa unwraps his scarf that was around Midoriya and closes his eyes using his Quirk to give Midoriya's Quirk back, "I've returned your impractical Quirk, take your final throw. Hurry and get it over with." Aizawa told Midoriya as he walks away, Midoriya looks down making his hair covering his eyes as he walked back to the circle.

"I wonder if our teacher gave him some advice." Izumi overhears what Iida said, and the next of what Bakugo came out of his mouth made her snap, "Probably told him to start packing." Bakugo said in a monotone voice, Yuki saw Izumi's arm shaken which made her look at her sister fully and saw that her eyes are covered from her hair and her body isn't shaken in nervous... she's shaken in anger. "I've had enough of this bullshit..." Yuki heard Izumi said, and her voice sounded so venom and anger that the Uraraka sisters, Iida, and Bakugo hear which they did, "Izumi, what do you me— uh, Izumi!" Yuki tried talking to her but Izumi started walking where Midoriya is, which made the others confused but Yuki finally knows why "She ran out of her patience..." She trailed off, making them look at her and find her eyes in nervousness.

"What do you mean by that?" "I mean when Mr. Aizawa told Midoriya about something that you guys didn't hear except the two of us, that made Izumi's line thin, and when Bakugo said that Mr. Aizawa probably told him to start packing, her patience broke like thick glass, and now... I honestly don't know what she's going to do..." Yuki answers Iida's question, Bakugo realizes what she meant as he looked at Izumi and Midoriya talking, he's thinking of what she's going to say to him... as Izumi has given him advice. When she was done, she put her hands in her pockets and walked back to where the others are and stand next to Yuki who looked concern.

"What did you say to him?" Nozomi asked Izumi shakily, Izumi looked at her and the others, then saw Bakugo, she then sighs as dark smoke comes out of her mouth from the anger that she held in, "I don't know if I should tell you guys what I said to him..." She trailed off looking down as she still has hands in her pockets. Meanwhile, Aizawa looks at Izumi and back at Midoriya, 'Is he going to use his Quirk and have to forfeit the rest of the events like a fool? Or admit defeat and settle into last place? Either way, he doesn't belong here.' Aizawa thought as he looks at Midoriya again with a dull look in his eyes.

Midoriya looks down looking at the ball as he remembers what Yuki told him during Grip Strength:

"Plus, what Mr. Aizawa said is a lie, he's not going to expel anybody that's going to be in last place, so make sure you keep a note of that and just calm down, okay?"

And then he remembers what Izumi told him when she was here next to him:

"Listen, it doesn't matter what Mr. Aizawa told you, but just remember, he is right about your Quirk, you can't control it I get it, but I think you can control it the more you use it, for example, I couldn't control my Quirk with the animal I had in me when I was a kid, but the more I use both of them at the same time, the more I can control it. It's like you're focusing on the animal within you instead of focusing both of them at the same time, and the more that you focus on controlling the animal, the weakened your body can handle your Quirk. So, imagine that you're not only focusing on the animal in you, but also focus on your Quirk, that way it'll be easier and your body will be equal with the animal and the Quirk, that way you'll become more stronger. The reason why I'm telling you this is that I know you want to stay here until you graduate and become a Pro Hero, so I know you can do this, and Yuki knows it too, and we'll be there by your side no matter what... so Go Beyond, Plus Ultra..."

He gripped on the ball as he starts thinking, 'I still can't control my power. But I can't just give up, either... when Yuki told me that he won't expel anyone like me made me calm down, and when Izumi gave me advice about my Quirk, made me realize that the egg about to explode isn't going to work... I need to think about the animal in me, focusing on my Quirk also. If I don't focus on both of them, then my body will break and weakened. I have to try something. NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES!' Midoriya thought to himself, then he started to be determined and serious, 'A waste of a Quirk.' Aizawa thought, Midoriya started to throw and it was in slow motion, 'Izumi was right about what Aizawa said to me, but her words are better to understand than yours, Mr. Aizawa!' Midoriya thought, and what Aizawa and All Might saw what Midoriya did was a surprise for the both of them.

'If I can't control my Quirk and just focus on my inner animal, there's no way I'll ever become a hero!' He thought as his palm is slowly starting to let go which not only Aizawa and All Might saw, but Izumi and Yuki saw too, "Hey, hey, is he for real?" All Might quietly question to himself, 'I have to work way harder than everyone else here if I wanna succeed. Even if I have a lot to learn, I'll focus on what I can do right now.' His thoughts continued as he here Izumi said once more when she was about to leave.

"I'll tell you this again, the reason why I'm telling you this is that I know you want to stay here until you graduate and become a Pro Hero. So no matter what, we're here for you, me, Yuki, Ochako, Nozomi, and everybody else, no matter what, we'll cheer for you."

His index finger was the last one touching the ball and his finger started to glow, 'Thank you Yuki, for telling me to not give up... and thank you Izumi... for giving me advice and telling me to think of another way than just an egg about to explode, I need to think of controlling not only the animal inside me but also my Quirk too, I need to focus on both of them!' He thought as his finger is now fully glowing.

"SMASH!!!" He yelled out as he throws the ball with his one finger and the ball is now flying into the air, making the others shocked, even Yuki is shocked, but Izumi has a small smile on her face, thinking that he did it. Izumi than saw that his eyes were wide in confident and victory when he saw the ball high in the sky, then trailed down and saw his index finger is broken, but not as bad as before. The ball hit the ground farther away this time, Aizawa looks at his phone and saw that Midoriya got 705.3 meters, one point in front of Bakugo, "Mr. Aizawa." Aizawa looked up on his phone and looked at Midoriya who turn and look at Aizawa, Midoriya bit his lips and made his hand into a fist, the one that his index finger is injured, "You see? I'm still standing." Midoriya told him making Aizawa's eyes widen and grinned a bit, "This kid..." Aizawa muttered.

Midoriya looked at Izumi and gave her a smile trying to ignore the pain, "Thank you Izumi... for the advice you have given me." He said thanking her which made her eyes widen in surprise, Yuki and the others were surprised as well, even Bakugo was too, "Without your advice, I would've probably given up, or probably use my full arm until it breaks again. So thank you, Izumi." He said as he smiles more as tears come out of the edge of his eyes, Izumi's eyes went to normal and smile softly, then gives him a big smile and a thumbs up.

'It's no problem, Izuku Midoriya. After all... you are our friend...'
