The intense exchange between Aizawa and Midoriya continued, and Aizawa's harsh words pierced through Midoriya's determination. Aizawa questioned Midoriya's belief that someone would come to his aid, pointing out that he couldn't even control his quirk effectively. Midoriya stuttered in response, trying to defend himself, but Aizawa's white bandage whip pulled him closer, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Aizawa declared that Midoriya's 'power' wouldn't make him a hero, delivering a harsh reality check.
With a sudden change in tone, Aizawa closed his eyes and deactivated his quirk, erasing the quirk-nullifying effect on Midoriya. He gave Midoriya another chance, instructing him to try the ball pitch again. The weight of the moment hung heavily in the air, and Aoyama's lack of concern for Midoriya's situation irked Ochako. Meanwhile, Lida and Bakugou shared their thoughts on the matter, with Bakugou showing his certainty that Midoriya would be expelled.
As Midoriya settled down, he held the ball in his hand, determined not to give up. This time, he channeled his quirk into his index finger, releasing the ball swiftly. In that brief instant, he intended to show his potential, pushing the boundaries of his quirk. The result was a powerful throw, the device displaying a staggering 705.3, showcasing the concentration of power he had managed to achieve.
Akira Uchiha, in his signature orange spiral mask, watched the events unfold from beside Aizawa. His mysterious demeanor and tone hinted at a deeper interest in Midoriya. Akira, with his unique way of addressing himself as "Tobi," found the green-haired hero-in-training intriguing, offering a sense of enigma to the scene.
Approaching Midoriya, Akira extended his hand for a fist bump, a casual gesture meant to encourage and support. Midoriya, still reeling from the intense effort of using his quirk, awkwardly responded, suggesting they do it later. Akira, teasingly, mentioned Tobi's desire to do it now, adding an element of playful intrigue to the situation, which left the rest of the class both amused and exasperated.
And just as the atmosphere seemed to lighten, Bakugou couldn't hold back any longer. He propelled himself towards Midoriya, screaming, "What is this? Deku explain now, you worm!" Intent on giving him a beating, Midoriya was about to react when Aizawa's capturing weapon, a steel wire alloy woven with carbon nanofibers, emerged, stopping them both in their tracks. The weapon, resembling white bandages, served as a powerful reminder of Aizawa's presence and his ability to maintain order in the classroom.
"Jeez don't make me use my Quirk so much .. and you " Aizawa sensei pointed at Akira and said," If you could just stay right where you were the nuisance would have been tolerable!"
A tick mark appeared on his forehead as he said ," I've got dry eye , dammit!"
The scene had taken a sudden turn, a mix of intense moments, camaraderie, and the unwavering authority of Aizawa. The trials had brought the class closer to their limits, both in terms of their quirks and their personal growth.
As Akira observed Bakugou's frustration, he couldn't help but internally comment on the upcoming revelation. To Akira, it was evident that witnessing his childhood friend, whom Bakugou had known for years as a seemingly quirkless boy, suddenly possess a quirk, would undoubtedly be an enormous shock. The idea that Midoriya, once perceived as powerless, now held a remarkable quirk seemed almost obvious to Akira.
Yet, he pondered the apparent lack of recognition from others in the class. To Akira, it was as if the truth lay right beneath the surface, waiting to be acknowledged. He found it curious that nobody else seemed to see the potential within Midoriya or understand the significance of his growth, especially considering the unique set of circumstances surrounding his encounter with Aizawa.
As Akira's thoughts meandered, it was clear that he held a keen interest in the dynamics of the class, particularly the development of individual quirks and the intricate connections between the students. While some aspects of the situation remained hidden, Akira's perceptive nature hinted at a deeper understanding, one that allowed him to see beyond the surface and appreciate the subtleties of the evolving hero landscape.
With a hint of intrigue and perhaps a touch of mystery, Akira continued to observe the unfolding events, ready to witness the impacts of each challenge, the growth of his fellow students, and the evolution of relationships within Class 1-A. Amid the trials, camaraderie, and the ever-present specter of heroism, Akira's insights served as a unique perspective, offering a fresh layer of perspective on the journey of these young heroes-in-training.
As the time to present the results of the trials approached, Midoriya clenched his teeth, a sense of trepidation washing over him. The fear of expulsion loomed, and he couldn't shake the grim realization that his total might be the lowest, putting his position in Class 1-A in jeopardy. The weight of the moment weighed heavily on him.
However, just as the anxiety intensified, a familiar voice disrupted the tense atmosphere. Akira, who playfully referred to himself as Tobi, chimed in, expressing his eagerness to compete. Aizawa, unimpressed and slightly annoyed, shot him a stern look. But Akira's persistence didn't waver. He pleaded with a hint of childishness, making the situation slightly more lighthearted.
"Yikes, you're never gonna get a girl like that," Akira teased, clearly unafraid of Aizawa's intimidating demeanor. He continued to implore, promising that he wouldn't half-ass his performance, using an endearing "pwease pwease" that was hard to ignore. Aizawa, however, seemed to dismiss him, but Akira wasn't done just yet.
Akira went on to mention that he could've shown his abilities if he wanted, playfully hinting that he was well aware the expulsion talk was merely a fabrication. The revelation sent a sudden shockwave through everyone, including Midoriya, who looked at Akira with wide eyes. Akira, nonchalant in his demeanor, looked back at them and cheekily remarked that he knew they weren't the brightest bunch.
The scene left everyone in a state of disbelief, and Aizawa, with a deadpan expression, explained that it was a logical ruse, designed to coax out their best performances. Lida, Ochako, and Midoriya couldn't help but scream in disbelief, while Yaoyorozu Momo pointed out that it was obvious, urging everyone to use their brains.
The tension that had gripped the class was suddenly replaced with a mix of astonishment, relief, and a touch of embarrassment at having fallen for the ruse. Akira's playful interruption, combined with Aizawa's explanation, revealed that the trials had been more than just a test of physical abilities; they were also a test of mental fortitude and adaptability, key qualities for any aspiring hero. The revelation would likely shape their understanding of the trials and the lessons they had learned along the way.
As Aizawa observed Akira's interaction with the class, he couldn't help but wonder about the principal's specific request to exclude him from participating in the trials. It intrigued him, raising questions about why Nezu had singled out this particular student for special consideration. There was something mysterious and captivating about Akira Uchiha that piqued Aizawa's curiosity.
In the aftermath of the trials, Aizawa instructed the class to head over to Recovery Girl for necessary patch-ups. As the students began to disperse, Aizawa's mind returned to the enigma that was Akira. He couldn't help but contemplate the reasons behind the principal's directive. Nezu's choice to bring in an extra student, particularly one with a quirk like Chakra, spoke volumes about the gravity of the situation, and Aizawa couldn't shake the feeling that he was part of something more significant.
Aizawa mused on the uniqueness of this addition to his class, realizing that he had been handed a rather troublesome student, adding a layer of complexity to his responsibilities as a teacher. Nezu's intention seemed clear - to ensure control and stability. If the rumors about Akira's abilities were true, then there was an underlying concern that warranted a "leash" on him.
Despite these thoughts, Aizawa acknowledged the multifaceted nature of Akira's personality. He noticed the goofy demeanor that Akira displayed, suspecting it might be a mask, perhaps a way to provide comedic relief or to hide his true intentions. The fact that Akira had shown his face to both Nezu and All Might was another intriguing detail, adding to the mystery surrounding this enigmatic student.
Aizawa's contemplation was interrupted by the presence of All Might, who engaged him in a conversation. The symbol of peace acknowledged the impressive potential he saw in Midoriya and the entire class, contrasting it with the events of the previous year when Aizawa had expelled everyone. The recognition from All Might served as a reminder of the progress they were making, and it emphasized the importance of guiding this new generation of heroes toward their full potential.
In this moment, amidst the questions and reflections, Aizawa found himself at the center of a unique and challenging journey, one that would undoubtedly hold surprises, mysteries, and a responsibility to nurture the abilities of his students. Akira's inclusion, Nezu's intentions, and the potential that All Might sensed all added layers to this complex tapestry of hero education, setting the stage for the trials and triumphs that lay ahead for Class 1-A.
