Chapter 16: Introductions (1/2)
With things developing the way they had, Aizawa had to act in spite of his personality. Gathering the attention of the class he said, "Now for the results..." As he finalized the spreadsheet he had been creating which held the scores of the students, he led the class right before the entrance to the changing rooms. By the time he reached the spot, everything was ready and after a couple seconds of fidgeting with a monitor, the results were displayed for all to see.
In last place, there was Izuku as he had performed worse than most of the class in the three exams where he didn't use his Quirk. Then in the Grip Strength Test, he had received zero marks for destroying his hand and being incapacitated while on the Pitching Test he had received half his marks for wounding himself even if it didn't result in his hand being unusable. While on the other side of the spectrum, Momo had received first place as she had overperformed in every single test.
Everyone, even Izuku who was currently crushed at the thought that he would be expelled for placing last, looked at Aizawa in confusion. All of them wondered why Takezushi wasn't ranked first while those that were more observant wanted to know why wasn't ranked at all. Takezushi himself didn't seem to care about his lack of recognition as he stood in the background quietly; the same way he had done throughout the Quirk Apprehension Test.
"All of you need to understand something about this young man right here," Aizawa said as he gestured towards Takezushi. "You lot seem to have not realized something. After concentrating so much on him, you've lost sight of what's important. Look at him, it's indisputable that all his actions during the Test were amazing and praiseworthy, yet he's quietly and humbly accepting everything; even the unfairness of being unranked. He doesn't care about the fact that he's performed better than you, he's not demanding justice, nor is he sulking uselessly."
"Unlike you lot, who seem lost and defeated, he's only worried about challenging himself, bettering himself. And I'd suggest you all learn from him and strive to become the best versions of yourselves..." Aizawa concluded. His little speech managed to wake the students up from their bout of depression, even bringing them to think better of Takezushi than they already did.
As the atmosphere lightened, before Izuku could return to dwelling on his failure, Aizawa said, "Oh, and about the thing of expelling whoever came last. Yeah, that was a lie." Seeing the looks of shock and betrayal from the students, Aizawa smirked before saying, "It was a simple logical ruse to make you all perform to the best of your abilities!" He turned his back to the class, now walking to return to the classroom, but before leaving earshot, he said, "Now get changed and come back to class to pick up your curriculum sheets and finish formal introductions."
…
After the students of Class 1-A finished changing and returned to their homeroom, Aizawa could be seen hiding within his sleeping bag by the front of the class. Groaning in his ever-grumpy state, he said, "Now, before we wrap up the first day, I want each of you to come up and formally introduce yourselves. Things will only get more intense from here on out, so it's best you start showing your worth..." Without warning, he walked over to his chair kicked out of the way and then lied down on the floor.
"Aizawa-sensei! In what order should we present ourselves to the class?!" Iida, the boy who was a stickler for the rules and order, loudly asked.
"I don't care, just get it over with..." Aizawa's muffled voice replied. He had finished zipping up the sleeping bag by the time his words concluded.
"Alright then, why don't we go up by seating order?" Iida proposed to the class. He was quickly met with complete agreement by all those that spoke up aside from Bakugo, who scoffed and turned away from him.
With the order being set, the sparkly french-speaking boy of the class rose from his seat and made his way over to the front of the class before saying, "Bonjour~ My name is Yuga Aoyama and I call my Quirk, Navel Laser. With it, I can shoot 'twinkling' beams from my stomach. Though, I do get a stomach ache if I use it for too long..."
As he moved to sit back down, Takezushi's pink-skinned "horn-buddy," rose up to say, "Hi everyone! My name's Mina Ashido, but you can all just call me Mina. My Quirk, Acid, allows me to create acid from anywhere on my body. I can control the acid's strength and viscosity, but after using it for a while, it starts to corrode my skin."
The next person up was Tsuyu, who taciturnly said, "Hello, my name is Tsuyu Asui and my Quirk lets me do anything a frog can." Following her was Iida who loudly announced, "My name is Tenya Iida and through my Quirk, Engine, I can boost my leg's speed to superhuman levels. My engines do stall out if I overheat them, but they generally recover within a minute. PLEASURE TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE." He loudly concluded, before walking back to his chair.
After Iida was Uraraka, who presented herself as a carefree girl as she introduced herself. "Hi, My name's Ochaco Uraraka and with my quirk Zero Gravity, I can take away the gravity of anything five of my fingers touch. But if I try to erase the gravity of something heavy than three tons, I will get extremely nauseous."
Following Uraraka was a blond-haired boy who possessed a long and girthy tail. "Hi guys, I'm Mashirao Ojiro. As you can see, my Quirk is my tail..." He didn't have much else to add, so it was off to the next student, another blond who introduced himself as, "Yo! I'm Denki Kaminari and my Quirk is Electrification. You can call on me to zap any supervillains. Just don't ask me to output over a million volts in a single discharge..."
As Kaminari smugly walked back to his chair, a red-hair boy walked up before the class and said, "I'm Eijiro Kirishima and I will strive to be the manliest man with my Hardening Quirk. It may not look like much, but with it, I'll be a chivalrous hero of the people!" Following Kirishima was an androgynous humanoid who had a rock-like head. It also had the body posture of someone cowering and though it walked up to the front of the class to introduce itself like all the others, it brought up a whiteboard with writing; apparently too scared to speak out.
The board this odd student brought up read as, "Hello everyone, my name is Koji Koda and my Quirk is Anivoice. I can talk to animals and borrow their power, but insects are scary." Refusing to look into anyone's eyes, Koda walked back over to his seat. After Koji, there came what looked to be a fully grown man, who introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Rikkido Sato and I call my Quirk Sugar Rush. With it, I can ingest ten grams of sugar to become five times stronger for three minutes and for every ten more grams I take, I can keep up the powered-up state for three more minutes. I do lose my mental functions the longer I stay powered up though..."
With Sato returning to his seat, the monster-like Shoji walked up to the front of the class to say, "My name is Mezo Shoji and I've come to refer to my Quirk as Dupliarms. With the tentacle-like appendages that are attached to my arms, I can create additional body parts. All the organs that are created from my Dupliarms are stronger than the originals, so if create eyes I can see better, ears will let me hear better, and so on..."
After the three monstrous men, there finally came a rather normal looking teen girl who introduced herself, "Everyone, my name is Kyoka Jiro and my Quirk is called Earphone Jack. I have these AUX jacks hanging off my earlobes which can extend several feet long. With them, I can scout through walls or conduct my heartbeat through them to unleash sonic attacks."
Following Jiro, there came a strangely bland boy who displayed his arms as he explained, "Hi guys, I'm Hanta Sero and my Quirk, Tape, lets me spit cellophane from my elbows. I can't shoot tape endlessly though, as I dries my skin and can be really painful after a while." After Sero came what appeared to be a human-bird hybrid that possessed a human body from the base of the neck down, but his head was that of a blackbird. "Greetings, I'm Fumikage Tokoyami and with my Quirk, Dark Shadow, I will become a most fearsome hero. I harbor a creature of the night within my body which grows powerful in the darkness," explained the bird-headed teen.
Replacing Tokoyami as he walked back to his chair was a distant boy with half-red half-grey hair parted by color perfectly in the middle of his head. He also had what appeared to be a burn scar on the left side of his face and heterochromatic eyes. Without much emotion, the boy introduced himself, "My name is Shota Todoroki and though my Quik Half-Cold Half-Hot lets me use both flames and ice, you'll never see me use my left side — the side that controls fire."
Taking the distant boy's place as he stepped back over to his seat was… a floating set of U.A.'s uniform for girls? Miraculously, a voice came from the front of the class, saying, "Hi y'all, my name's Toru Hagakure and my Quirk is pretty obvious isn't it? Its invisibility, so try to not act surprised or bump into me by accident. Hahaha..." Laughing at her own playful quip, most of the other students found her to be endearing. Only Takezushi was confused as to what she was talking about. He thought 'How is that obvious? This is quite the eccentric girl...'
After the invisible girl went back to her seat, it was the blond and obnoxious Bakugo's turn to introduce himself, "Listen up you extras 'cause I'll only say it once. My name is Katsuki Bakugou and I'm going to be the number one hero. Don't even think about competing with me or my Explosion Quirk, or I'll fucking kill!" Though he didn't mean that he would literally kill them, it sure felt like it, as he had a wrathful conviction behind each and every one of his words.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Vermillion_Yormsky
Vermillion_Yormsky I guess this is what I deserve for going against the grain, but still... My patience is being tested and what I thought was my steadfast writer's heart is slowly crumbling. Honestly, I feel like throwing this novel in the trash as it's being likened to trash and the only reason I've written it is for you people. *Sigh* Let's see this through to another day.
P.S. Relax, I promised two back-to-back chapters today. Tomorrow, there might not be any, though...
