NOVEL WEB Chapter 8 - Quirk Apprehension Test... {EDITED}
[POV Reo]
"Good morning class..." the caterpillar (Shota Aizawa) spoke in a dead voice. Shoto turned towards a group of three. Midoriya, Ilda, and Uraraka and again continued in his dead and tired voice "If you are looking for buddies to hang out with then do it somewhere else."
The three kids looked startled and the man got out from his sleeping bag "This is the hero course". The man was wearing full black clothes and something like a bandage was wrapped around his neck. "It took you guys 8 seconds to calm down. Time is limited. You guys are not rational enough." he continued berating us.
He scanned throughout the room with his same dead and tired eyes. "I am your homeroom teacher Aizawa Shota. Nice to meet you" he continued with his similar dead and tired voice.
UA mostly hired Pro Heroes as their teaching staff but I can guarantee that there is only one person beside me who will know about Aizawa or Eraserhead and that is Izuku Midoriya. Of course, he would know him because he is a hero fanboy, to be honest, I have no problems with his hobby, but he is way too fanatical with it. I am pretty sure that I wasn't Japanese in my past life so I always get confused with their first and last name...
Aizawa pulled out a tracksuit from the podium to show it to the students "Go and put this on and get out on the field" after that he handed everyone a tracksuit. I kind of liked this stuff... pretty comfortable. I have to say they must have made this after a lot of research... I don't think they exaggerate when they say UA is the best Hero training school.
After getting ready we finally got out on the field, everyone was wearing their tracksuit now. I went and stood beside Momo who was chatting with the pink girl named Mina Ashido. But as soon as Aizawa turned his sight towards us, both girls immediately stopped talking. Looks like Momo is finally making friends.
"Today will be your Quirk apprehension test" Aizawa said to the whole class and then turned around. We were now facing his back.
"A quirk apprehension? What about the orientation?" the chubby-faced girl named Ochako asked.
"Orientation? This is the hero course, we don't have time for all those unnecessary ceremonies. We aren't like other schools. Over here you will be training to improve your Quirks. That is what we will be focusing on instead of those things" Aizawa said in his usual bored tone.
Just like in the canon Aizawa called Katsuki to show how to throw the ball using his Quirk which he did after he screamed 'DIE' like a typical villain. Then he switched off his Quirk to show the difference between normal people and us.
He saw the students getting excited because they could use their Quirk so he added the sentence "the student who comes last will be expelled". Everyone got sacred except me... I looked at the side and found Momo also wasn't scared. In canon, she thought that Aizawa was lying to bring out everyone's full potential but she was wrong. Looks like she is wrong here too. I didn't think that I need to correct her, so I let it be.
Then I looked over to Midoriya, he looked completely petrified except his knees which were shaking. Honestly, can you be any more obvious... fuck!! That kid is stupid... I shouldn't badmouth him though stupid people deserve some respect too and I don't want karma to come back and bite me on the ass.
First was the 50-meter dash, running wasn't one of my specialties. But I think I performed pretty well, like in UA High recommendation exam I decided to hold back my power. I didn't want to attract the attention of one certain emo kid and a wannabe future villain. It's not like I am ashamed of showing off my Quirk but I want to keep it under the wraps for now, at least.
People who think their Quirks are absolute are simply stupid. I have an obvious weakness, lack of metals, if I am imprisoned like Magneto was then I would be done for. I can extract iron from blood but if they don't send anyone then that power will also be useless. After all, this was a pretty advanced world and they could use glass or plastic robots to feed me.
I came 5th... not bad if I have to say. After everyone finished I could feel Momo's glare burning a hole in my skull. She must be angry because I am holding back. I felt another stare on me, I turned around and found it was Shota Aizawa. He must have noticed that I wasn't giving it my all... yeah, geezer fuck you, you can't do shit until and unless I am the last and you can't accuse me of anything because my performance was the same in the UA High Recommendation Exam.
The next was grip strength, like in the canon Mejo Shozi showed immense strength. If Midoriya wanted he could have beaten him but he didn't want to bust his arm before the ball throwing test. If I wanted I could have busted the machine too... but what would I have gained? Attention from an emo half-half brooder and a villain in making bully. I would never know how Katsuki Bakugo didn't turn out to be a fucking villain. If a certain meddling fool was here then he would have just said 'Bakugo my boy, you are turning dark'. I came 8th in this test.
Now some people would say I am just a scaredy cat or the FBI is looking for me that I am hiding my powers but why would I even want to come 1st in a meaningless test which would have no value in the final result?? I could use this to easily deceive everyone until USJ where it really matters. No matter who offers what... I will be joining an internship with my dream gir... *ahem* woman, 'Nemuri Kayama'. Yosh... 'YOUTH'.
Next was standing long jump, Momo came 1st in this followed by Bakugo. Momo made some spring-like objects, I didn't know what they were called. She used them to clear the sandbox. I don't think that her performance was shown in the anime, whatever, she came 1st in this test. I landed myself within the box but it was almost the end. I was in 10th position. I didn't care honestly.
The next was repeated side steps... a certain person with a shiny bald head and a yellow hero suit would have loved to do it but I am not him, nor were the other students. That's the fucking reason I came 2nd... in anime, I remember it was the purple-haired perverted midget who did the best. Well looks like 1st place is Iida and I am 2nd. I blame Carmine for this, if he didn't give me this exercise, I wouldn't have been so good at this. 3rd was Momo, not surprising since she did this exercise too. I don't think that Momo will come out on top this time...
The last and final was the ball throw... I guess I should try to do better in this one at least or the way Momo is glaring at me I might die before reaching home today. I watched Ochako sent the ball to infinity using her zero-gravity Quirk. It must be quite handy sometimes... like kinky times. Fucking in air... nope not a dream anymore, since I can fly without farting now. I just need to convince Momo... ahh... I guess it's my turn I could coax her to have sex in the air later.
I took the ball from Aizawa's hand before going to the circle. A tiny piece of iron was immediately implanted within the ball. I pulled my arm back and threw the ball but actually used my power. After the ball reached a certain distance it broke the sound barrier and flew away. I looked back at the students and Aizawa, the students were shocked, some looked at me with awe.
Ah... this is what I wanted to avoid. I garnered the attention of the emo half-half brooder and in the making villain. Then I looked towards Momo, she was smiling brightly. That improved her mood a lot, my result was 1,237 meters. I guess I got the second position.
The final result came... I was gobsmacked. What kind of fucking weed are they smoking?? I seriously need to ask them. How in the hell Momo came first... to tell you the truth, I was proud of her and I really happy that she came 1st, but I really want to know how did they tally the result? They must be seriously high... I need to get the stuff from them.
The rest of the result was announced too... 2nd was Todoroki, then Bakugo, then Iida and it was me, in 5th position. I don't think the rest are that important. As I had thought Izuku Midoriya came last, he was petrified except for his shaking hands and knees.
"What I said about expelling the student who came last was a lie" Aizawa said in his usual dead tone like it was a matter of fact. This shocked everyone and Midoriya came this fucking close from passing out because of the severe emotional stress.
"What? Did you guys actually believe him? It's was an obvious bluff." Momo said, this shocked everyone but they understood while nodding. But I know Aizawa wasn't bluffing he would have done that but why should I correct her?
"We are done for today, don't forget to get your handouts on the curriculum in the classroom before heading out" Aizawa said while walking towards Izuku... yeah old man, take him into some fucking corner... *ahem*... I must purge these nasty and disgusting thoughts. I need my Momo-chan, now... well I guess day one is finally over with this...
