Chapter 5 - Quirk Assessment with Jackasses
I have been stuck in this house all vacation for like two months! I have been staying out of trouble with mom. Even though I'm not on house arrest anymore, I'm busy with things I can only do at home. I been working on my gear and all that jazz for my hero costume. I can't have it be trash after all! Mom is a good woman to bounce ideas off of if I need simple statements rather then my discombobulated mind statements. Overall, I think it turned out well! I worked on new gear with the trash I found in my room, as you never have enough equipment. Mom is still hesitant about letting me go, but she gave me a hug and good luck.
That's all I can ask for.
Anyway.
FREEDOM BITCHES! I AM AT FUCKING UA NOW! I will be honest. Once I was some distance from the house, I screamed. I ran to that school. I even arrived first. Okay, so I'm in a classroom right now by myself. I adjust my stupid tie, and I'm about to remove the sucker. I need to distract myself. I pull out my mini laptop and start looking up a new language to study. I initially did programs, but I have so many on the back of my hand that I can figure out any new language when needed with what I have. Now, I do speaking language. I have learned multiple sign languages because those are easy shits, English, French to flirt with the ladies, and German to sound angry. I probably will never use none but the sign and English, but oh well. This is what happens when you have too much free time. I decided to try learning some Korean because why not.
I'm way too focused because the next thing I know, I sense someone walking beside me, and I look up. Oh damn it, it's that blue-hair dude from the entrance exam. God, take me now? No? Fuck you. Anyway, I researched him because I thought he was familiar, and I was right! He is from the Iida family and the little brother of Ingenium. I like Ingenium, but how the hell do you produce this when you have a very out-going brother?
"Hello! I am Iida Tenya and your new classmate! I must say at the entrance exam you knew what you were doing to get the most points of all time and for saving that girl at the end, even if it did not count. However, I will say your language is vulgar and should be approved should you be a hero." Blue-hair boy exclaims. Flip-flopping, why? You know, I can respect a straight-forward comment like that. If that were the case with everyone, we would have peace and harmony! But nope, people are too weak to accept the truth!
"Eh mate, you failed ethics class to!?" I say excitedly. That is another reason I failed the class. I was too blunt.
"No, I never took that class. However, I do come from (some academy I do not listen for.)."
"Hold up. Are you telling me it's only my dumbass school that has the classes?" They were ineffective anyway, so why do we have them?! Everyone but me passed, including Bakugo somehow. They were assholes too, but I can fight them at least.
"Without the cursing, yes. I must ask what these classes consist of. Oh, and a name as you seem to have forgotten." Might as well amuse him. I notice he did this weird chopping motion with his hands. I wonder if I put a log under his hand if he would chop it or not.
Free firewood?
"Izuku. Anyway, it's supposed to teach you how to act. For example, what are you suppose to do when a kid falls?"
"You go and help them, of course! You make sure they are okay, and if not, you go and get sufficient help!" Uh, no.
"I put that they should suck it up and deal with it. If they can not get back up, they aren't meant to be part of the world. Social Darwinism, mate." For those who have no idea what Social Darwinism is, it is a social ideal by Herbert Spencer that you don't help people. You let them figure it out on their own. For example, you don't donate to homeless people. If they die, oh well!
"That is incredibly harsh. I must ask, though, is Izuku your given name or your family name?" That is a common question.
"Given. I give two fucks about social ways."
"STOP CURSING!"
"NEVER!" Jeez, I'm going to get myself in trouble. I forget how much of a loudmouth I can be. Before an argument ensues, some unlucky student walk in. Iida runs over to greet them, the student providing me with a strange look. Your problem, not mine! I get back to work for a few minutes. About five minutes before a class, I pull my laptop back before an angry boy walks over and starts exploding the desk. Thank God Nezu thought ahead and got an indestructible desk!
"DEKU, HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET IN HERE!?" Bakugo screams. Did he not know I was going to be here? Oh, this is going to be fun!
"Language!" Iida says, but let us be fair for a moment; it's just aggravating.
"Easy, I just hacked into one of the bots and triggered an emergency shutdown to all the bots. It's better that way because then there isn't collateral damage and fewer lives on the line." I explain. All the class looks at me.
A dude with duck tape arms says, " Hold up; you were the one who did that? I thought it was a glitch in the system."
"Hell no! That coding was written perfectly, and the robots were perfectly built. I just hacked it. Interesting fact for ya'll; it's the same coding the government uses."
"How would you know what government coding is?" A girl with a...rather nice body, perfect face, with a long black ponytail asks professionally.
"That's my girl! Always question the man! Back on topic, I know because I have hacked them before."
"WHAT!" The whole class yells like I killed an animal in front of them.
"HOLY SHIT, CALM DOWN. I DON'T WANT MY EARDRUMS BLOWN OUT THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING. AT LEAST WAIT TILL AFTERNOON! Anyway, yeah. I never got caught. Got to be suspicious about the government, but I won't say anything about what is there." The whole class goes quiet, probably scared of me. HECK YEAH, BE SCARED OF ME! I'M THE SCARIEST BOY ALIVE!
"Hey, Izuku!" Uraraka walks in at that moment, walking over with a smile on her face. There goes my street cred.
"Hey girl, how are you? Ready for pain and suffering?"
"That is overdramatic, isn't it?"
"Oh, if only you understood sweetheart, you innocent cinnamon roll. Now, everyone, you might want to sit down before the teacher gets in here. I rather not test limits with whoever it is." Everyone nods, doing as they are asked. Dang, I can be a boss for once. Well, except Bakugo.
"DON'T THINK YOU ARE THE BEST! YOU WILL BE DEAD MEAT WHERE YOU STAND!" Explosions go off near my head, providing explosion marks on my uniform, but I don't flinch. The only thing that runs through my mind is 'damn, that's going to be a bitch to clean.'
"Darling, I already tried. God said, stay down there, and Satan will not look me in the eyes, Kacchan!" I say with a smooth voice mixed in darkness. He doesn't even bother to respond as he sits down in front of me and faces forward.
"Izuku, I don't think that is the best thing to say, and Kacchan, you should respect your peers." Iida decides to step in. Wrong move.
"SHUT IT, FOUR EYES! MY NAME IS BAKUGO, NOT KACCHAN. DEKU HERE CALLS ME THAT FOR SOME DAMN REASON!"
"STOP CURSING!"
"Will you two shut up?" The whole class goes silent when they notice a yellow bug on the floor. No, that is not a bug. That is Shouta in a bright yellow sleeping bag. OH SHIT, SHOUTA IS MY BLOODY TEACHER? I DON'T KNOW WHO TO FEEL SORRY FOR. EVERYONE, I'M SORRY IN ADVANCE! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE TO EITHER BOREDOM OR STUPIDITY! Shouta crawls out of his sleeping bag as he continues, "Anyway, I am your teacher. You call me sensei or Aizawa-sensei. Now, get changed and meet me in the field. Take more than ten minutes, and I will expel you." Shouta looks over the students before looking at me, having a particular look in his eyes before leaving. I got the message Shouta. The man will not believe me, but we have a connection too. He just ignores it, the asshat.
Everyone scrambles to the locker room while I follow. When I enter, they are all talking. I remove my uniform, revealing the gym outfit underneath because I don't trust these guys, and leave. I run to the field, somehow make it there within a minute, and walk up to Shouta. He looks me over quickly as I approach him.
"Chill out! Just because I haven't responded to you or done something stupid doesn't mean I got the shit beat out of me!" I say with a broad smile on my face.
"Yep, you are riled up. However, you can't blame me when it has been two months." Shouta responds bluntly. I mean, I can.
"I am not riled up! Does that mean you miss me?" No response. "HOLY SHIT, SOMEONE MISSES ME! I MISS YOU TOO, SHOUTA!" I get punched in the stomach, and I fall to my knees, preventing myself from throwing up.
"You need to calm down. And sensei or Aizawa-sensei. I know that is too hard for you, so you can do just Aizawa, Izuku."
"Fuck society, why can you use my given name then?"
"I'm the teacher, and any moment of control I have over you I will take. You don't realize how over-the-top you are at the moment. Go stand over there and be an example."
"You are asking me, the kid who failed ethics class three times, to be an example. Are you drinking, Aizawa?" I do move like he asked before I end up with bruising.
"No, are you?"
"Couldn't get my hand on any if I could. Would have made my life easier and less hyper."
"We are talking after school about that." COME ON! THAT JOKE WASN'T THAT BAD!
"Damn it." I'm about to retort, but I notice the students coming, so I shut up. Shouta gives me a nod. Once everyone arrives, Shouta speaks up.
"Get quicker at changing. You don't have a minute to waste. Now, we are going to do a quirk assessment test." Something I utterly don't have! Great!
Uraraka asks, "What about the ceremony?" I can see the glint in Shouta's eyes. You messed up, Uraraka.
"Heroes do not have time to go to social gatherings. If you want to go, feel free to drop the class while you are at it and leave this school. UA is known for letting its teachers have a free form of teaching, meaning we can do whatever we want. Is that understood?" We all nod, and he continues while throwing a ball at Bakugo, " Bakugo, how far could you throw a ball in middle school?"
"72 meters." Bakugo sneers, and I have to force my middle fingers down physically.
"Try using your quirk now. Just don't leave the circle." Shouta says, stepping back. Bakugo preps.
"DIE!" Bakugo screams as he explodes the ball. Over-dramatic much? Shouta shows a little monitor.
"705 meters. Not being allowed to use quirks in public is illogical as it is apart of what we are stuck with. Now, get to it, I don't have all day. Oh, last person gets expelled."
Alright, so I have nothing to work with. Well, rephrase, I have my strength, the mini laptop, a screwdriver, and my backpack. I should have asked if I can use my tools, but I'm going to use them anyway! The class is panicking, which is unfortunate for them. Childish.
The first test is the 50-meter dash. I drop my book bag for a moment before I run. Thank god I have anger issues that I always need to deal with because I run when I'm angry. My time is 5.43 seconds. I am in the middle of everyone, so not too shabby.
Next is the grip test. It is digital, so I know what to do here. I sit down and pull out my laptop, hacking the thing to put 200 kg. The class looks at me strangely, but Shouta puts it as my score. He tells me I still have to do it so he can get a physical count, and I got 70.2 kg.
The standing long jump is next. Once again, I hack it to infinity officially, but I had to do it without it and got just barely over the sandpit with a roll.
The repeated side-step is useless, and I did barely above average because I'm used to skidding side to side from Shouta and Bakugo.
The ball throw is next, and this is when drama comes in. I'm able to hack the thing once again, putting repeated nines. I could have put infinity, but Uraraka already got that. She deserves a special little moment. I look over, and I catch Bakugo running over to me, explosions going off in his hand. I stand up, grab my laptop, and get ready to run when he gets restrained by a ribbon. I look over to see Shouta restraining Bakugo, his eyes glowing. Shit, he is using his quick.
Shouta grumpily tells Bakugo, " Calm down; I have dry-eye here."
"NO! WHY ARE YOU LETTING DEKU HERE CHEAT LIKE THIS? CHARITY PROJECT? HE SHOULDN'T BE HERE AT ALL." Harsh. THEN A STUDENT DECIDES TO SPEAK UP!
"Bakugo is right, why is he allowed to cheat like that? It's unfair. He should use his quirk." A little purple boy states. I'm shaking of anger. I'm about to explode. I look over at Shouta, asking mentally if I can speak. Shouta slowly nods, letting his quirk go. I look back at Bakugo.
"Because you are pathetic enough to believe that life is always going to be fair." The class goes silent. Good. I continue, " There is no such thing as cheating in the real world. Villains do not care about YOUR morals. They care about getting the JOB done. If you cry like a fucking child because things do not go your way, I would say go back to preschool, but they are unfair there too. YOU CAN NOT AVOID REALITY! IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMEONE CHEATING, YOU MIGHT AS WELL STEP YOUR ASS DOWN BECAUSE IF YOU ARE REAL HERO, YOU WORK AROUND IT. IF YOU BELIEVE IN CHEATING AND TRY TO RESTRAIN YOURSELF OF IT, STEP DOWN. YOU WORK WITH WHAT YOU FUCKING GOT OR LET THAT PERSON YOU ARE TRYING TO SAVE DIE BECAUSE OF YOUR MORALS!" I scream from the top of my lungs. I take a deep breath before continuing.
"Life will not ever be fair. You guys have been groomed to believe the world is perfect, and you have to do is fight villains, but it is not." I throw the ball, getting a score of 86 meters before walking past, remembering, " Oh, one more thing. I am quirkless. Do not ever think you are guaranteed a win because you have a fucking quirk. I managed top spot through skill, crawling through hell and back to be refined at what I can do. What you have is talent, something that is given to you, yet you need to 'practice' it. You need to refine it to perfection like my skills." I growl. I'm done. I step back in line, and Bakugo is let go of. Everyone is silent. Good for them, they should be. Let them contemplate. I seriously couldn't care at this point if I have friends or not.
"Izuku is right. Now get back to work before you piss him off again." Shouta says bluntly with a little bit of bite. They don't even notice the fact that he used my given name.
The rest of the test is long-distance run, sit-ups, and toe touches. For the long-distance run, due to my anger, I kept running to the point I outran Iida, a man whose quirk is made for running! I wasn't jogging either. I was running full speed. I kept going to the point Shouta was worried I was going to pass out and grabbed me with his scarf to make me stop. Same with the sit-ups that I had to be forced to stop again. For toe touches, there isn't much of a way to express my anger there.
At the end of the test, Shouta puts the rankings on the board. I...am in third? What the fuck? Am I drunk? Did I smoke too much? I do a breathalyzer test on myself. Nope, I'm clean. Everyone looks at me, wondering what the hell I did. Simple, I used my brain, a much more powerful organ then your quirks, jerks. At the bottom is Mineta, the purple dude from earlier who whined about me cheating with Bakugo. Mineta is crying, and he flipping deserves it. I'm a place above Bakugo because FUCK HIM THE FREAKING DUD GRENADE! Shouta speaks up, making a smooth remark.
"That's what happens when you underestimate someone. Go change, head back to class, and get your syllabus. Don't cause trouble. Oh, and no one is getting expelled." Shouta walks off, and I quickly leave the group behind, only to find Uraraka following me. Uraraka gives me a huge smile.
"You did great, Izuku! Great speech and everything! You will be a great hero!" That takes a 180 turn.
"Seriously?" I have to ask to make sure she isn't fucking with me.
"Yes!" I smile back at Uraraka.
"Thanks! I've only had two other people say that. I will be cheering you on too. You aren't ignorant like most of the class." We head off our ways to change and head back to class.
