Classes at the academy started in April, I was given an academy uniform and assigned to class 1-A in the heroic department. Out of all the entrants, only thirty-six people passed the hero course, they were distributed into two classes, and I was among them. Four more people were admitted to Yuei by recommendation and were also assigned to two classes.
- Big door. - I looked at the door, which was two stories high, apparently made with taller students in mind.
I slid the door open, entered the classroom and saw an interesting picture.
- Don't put your feet up on the table! Don't you think it's disrespectful to your classmates?! - was reprimanding the bespectacled man from the entrance exam, the ash-haired girl who was sitting on a chair with her feet on the desk.
- Nope. What school are you from, four-eyes? - The bitchy blonde smirked cheekily. Lucky me.
- I'm from Soomei Junior High, my name is Iida Tenya. - introduced himself as a tall, bespectacled man in an academy uniform.
- Soomei, that gives me a reason to deal with you!
- How cheeky are you?! And you want to be a hero?! - Iida exclaimed in surprise, and noticed me walking into the classroom like the rest of the class. - You're the one! Hello, my name is Iida Tenya, I'm from junior....
- Yes, yes, I've heard, my name is Akira Mizuiro. - I answered and when I heard my name, all my classmates started whispering and the bitch looked at me with a hostile look. - Why are you looking at me so mean?
- Scum, first place was supposed to be mine! - she shouted, slamming her hand on the desk. She didn't seem to be happy that I was the one who got first place in the entrance exam.
- If you couldn't get first place in the exam, then you're just another second-rate weakling. - I took back what she said.
- You!' she raised her hands threateningly, smoke billowing from them.
- It's you, Akira! - Ochako walked into the classroom, wearing her school uniform and stocking feet, drawing the attention of her classmates and the bitch too. - I'm glad we're in the same class.
- Yeah, I'm glad too Ochako, by the way your school uniform suits you, you look even cuter in it. - I noticed her beautiful figure, especially her legs in tights.
- Ha-ha, stop embarrassing me. - Uraraka smiled awkwardly.
- Don't ignore me! - drew the ash-haired girl's attention to herself.
- I wasn't ignoring you, I just don't care about you. - I said honestly, and it's true, she may look good, but she has a very nasty temper.
- Oh, and her? - Ochako looked questioningly at the ash-haired girl.
- That's Katsuki Bakugou, she's not happy that Mizuiro won first place in the entrance exam. - Iida explained to her, gesturing actively with his hands like a robot.
- Ahh. - Ochako understood...well, she pretended to understand. - I wonder what today is, an entrance ceremony or a little tour? Oh, and what kind of teachers we'll have, I can't wait to find out! - she jumped up and down with excitement.
- You're in the wrong place if you want to make friends. - said an unshaven man in a yellow sleeping bag lying outside the doorway. - This is the hero department! - He took the juice in a bag and drank it.
- Who's that? - Uraraka didn't fully realise what she had seen, and everyone went into a stupor.
- Quiet, you. Don't you see, it's a caterpillar pupated, soon it will turn into a butterfly...with no fixed abode. - I said with a serious face. Uraraka giggled softly, as did a few of my classmates.
- Very funny,' my old acquaintance...whom I had once punched in the face, Aizawa Shota, aka Sotrigolova, climbed out of his sleeping bag. - I'm Aizawa Shota, your class teacher, nice to meet you. Leave all questions for later, now, everybody get changed and go to the sports field.
***
In addition to school uniforms, all students were given sports uniforms. It was a blue jumpsuit with the initials 'U' and 'A' embroidered in white fabric, i.e. Yuei.
All the students changed and went to the sports field, where Aizawa excited everyone with the news.
- Elementary quirk test! - Shouted the entire class.
- What about the ceremony? Or the field trip? - Ochako asked frustratedly.
- If you want to be heroes, you don't have time for such trivialities. - Aizawa stated and turned around to the entire class. - You're familiar with the freedom for students in this school, and the same goes for teachers. The school's physical fitness standards, such as throwing a ball or running for time, are not allowed in school, but in Yuei this rule simply does not exist. - Aizawa finished speaking and stopped his gaze on me. - Mizuiro, you won first place in the entrance exam, I've seen your style of using quirks, very good. Come forward and throw the ball using your quirk. - he gave me a rubber ball in my hand. - As long as you're in the circle, you can do whatever you want.
- Okay. Create a construct: Anti-gravity ball. - I created a solid shell around the ball, giving it zero-gravity properties. - And-and-throw! - I threw the ball high into the sky, and it took its time to fall, flying higher and higher until it crossed the stratosphere and flew into space.
- Here's the result. - Sotrigolova showed the result on his phone. The ball had a special sensor that reads the height of the throw, in my case, the throw was counted as an inverted number eight, or infinity.
- Infinity?! - said a shocked blond man with black lightning in his hair, his name is Denki Kaminari. Kaminari's quirk, conducts electricity through his body, but here is exceeding the limit of the powers, briefly short-circuits his brain.
- Holy shit, is that even possible? - asked someone in the crowd.
- You should know what you're capable of. Mizuiro you have an impressive result for a heroic foundation.
- So that's how it is! This looks like a lot of fun! - Raised her fist upwards Mina Ashido, a girl with horns, pink skin and the same colour, hair, and her eyes with black sclerae and yellow pupils. She looks like a reference succubus, and I really liked her looks. With her quirk, Mina can create acid from any part of her body, which is why her skin colour is so cute.
- Fun you say...thinking of spending three years here having fun? Are you thinking of becoming a hero yet? - Aizawa is getting creepy. - Fine, then the last place student will be considered unpromising and will be expelled immediately...Our 'freedom' also means that we can expel students at our discretion. Welcome to the faculty of heroes! - solemnly announced the teacher, smiling.
- The last place winner will be expelled?! But it's the first day of class! Even if it's not the first day, it's not fair! - said Uraraka, clenching her fists.
- Accidents... natural disasters... crazy villains. Disasters of all kinds, can happen at any moment. Japan is full of 'injustice' and it's our job as heroes to minimise the effects of disaster. If you were hoping to hang out with your friends in some coffee shop after class, I'm sorry to disappoint you. For the next three years, you can expect one inconvenience after another from Yuei. That's what it means to go beyond Plus Ultra. I expect you to overcome all obstacles and become the best of the best. - gave a motivational speech like that to Aizawa.
Yeah, I didn't think I'd catch the moment the homeless started expelling students from schools. Well, there's a first time for everything.
The first standard was the fifty-metre race, in which Iida was the best, since his quirk is that he has tubes in the form of motors in the calves of his legs, and he uses them for acceleration. His result was 3.04 seconds. He was paired with a girl with long green hair tied in a bow and big eyes, named Asui Tsuyu. Her quirk, like a mutation, makes her a frog girl, and allows her to do everything frogs do. She jumped the race with a time of 5.58 seconds.
There was another dorky blond guy with a funny face named Aoyama Yuga. He can release a laser from his belly button area, but apparently has poor control over it, so he wears a special belt. Aoyama clocked 5.51 seconds, flying backwards on the laser's aerial thrust.
When it was my turn, I was placed at the starting point with Katsuki.
- You can't win this time, pretty face. - declared the grinning Bakugou. Her quirk creates a substance on her palms that looks like explosive nitroglycerin, and then she sets it on fire, creating an explosion. Her quirk is really good...too bad it doesn't come with a normal character.
When the start was given, I shrouded my body in light, and was instantly at the finish line with a time of 0.96 seconds.
- Fucking hell! - yelled an angry and dumbfounded Katsuki, having flown by explosive thrust, in 4.13 seconds.
- Didn't someone say I couldn't win? А? - I grinned in Katsuki's face.
- Loads of it! - She turned around and went off to do the next standard.
Next up was grip strength, and in this test, the best performer was Mezo Koji, a guy taller than even me, with a mutation that gives him an extra pair of hands, on the tips of which he can recreate other body parts, like a mouth. He easily racked up a 540 kilo grip, taking the machine in three hands.
In addition to him, a good score of 380 kilograms was achieved by Itsuka Kendo, a red-haired, green-eyed girl whose quirk allows her to enlarge her fists to gigantic sizes.
I squeezed the device with a force of two tonnes, taking first place in this test too.
The next test was the long jump. In this discipline, there weren't any outstanding leaders, except for Asui, because of the frog's ability to jump well. I, on the other hand, simply flew the distance, again taking the lead in this trial as well.
In the fourth trial, there was no clear leader, so I took the lead in that one as well.
The fifth test was the ball throw, which I had already passed. Bakugo did well here, gaining over seven hundred metres by blasting. Ochako, on the other hand, stood out much more in this test. Her quirk gives her the ability to manipulate gravity, so she just nullified the ball's gravity and threw it, getting the same result as mine.
- Come on, infinity again?! - baffled Hanta Sero, a black-haired guy with a quirk of creating and extracting special duct tape from special holes located on the elbows of both arms, as well as winding it back up.
- You did a pretty good job Ochako. - I walked over to her and praised her, as she was really trying hard.
- Thanks, but you know, my Weightlessness quirk has limitations. I can only zero out the weight of an object if I touch it with all five fingertip pads. And if it weighs more than three tonnes, I'll throw up a lot. - she showed me her hands, each of which had a pad at the tip of her fingers. - And you seem to have no limitations in using your quirk, you can fly, you can run fast, you are very strong and you can do this blue thing on top of a ball....
- Actually that's not true, my quirk, 'Stream of Light', stores photonic energy, or pure light to put it simply, in my body. In order for me to be, as you said, very strong, run fast, fly fast, and create the blue stuff, I had to train day in and day out since I was a kid, and I also learnt quantum physics to expand my quirk's arsenal of applications. So, for example, I learnt how to create structures out of solid light, and give them different properties. But my quirk also has limitations, I can't give solid constructs any elemental properties like fire and my second weakness is in the amount of energy. I can't use my quirk all day long without stopping. - I explained the effects of my quirk to Ochako and Iida, Katsuki, and anyone else who liked to listen. - I couldn't be more specific. I've recently learnt how to control spatial energy, which has a strong connection to photon energy from a physics perspective. I've created a subspace for myself where I store an extra supply of light.
- Um, I didn't understand much of that...except that you're still very smart. - Ochako said. - So you don't have any weaknesses Akira after all?
- Why, yes, I do. My weakness is beautiful girls like you, Ochako. - I got as close to her as I could, causing her to blush.
- Are you two lovebirds cooing? - Ashido, who had approached us, said snidely.
- Huh? No, it's not like that! Tell me, Akira! - the red Ochako turned to me.
- Oh, you two are already calling each other by name. It's like the perfect couple! - The succubus continued to embarrass her.
- It's not like that at all! I'll be going now, Mizuiro-kun. - A confused Uraraka ran away.
- Thanks for ruining my day.
- You're welcome, by the way, I'm Ashido, Ashido Mina. - she introduced herself.
- I think you already know my name.
- Yeah, Mizuiro Akira-kun. - She nodded. - So are you two really dating?
- Not yet, I only met her recently, at the entrance exam. - I went to the next standard and Mina followed me.
- Bye? - Mina asked me with a smile.
- Don't tell her about it. - I also smiled at her.
The next three norms I passed as well, without problems, and when everyone had already finished, Sotrigolova gathered us all in one place.
- It was time to announce the results. If I considered all the results separately, I would die of old age, so I will show the total result for all the norms completed...and by the way, all that speech about 'exclusion' was a lie. - He made all the students freeze. - It was a trick to make you try harder! - said the grinning bum.
- What?! - I heard the cry of the soul...and not only the soul, of my classmates.
- Come on, it was obvious from the beginning. If Yuei students were expelled for reasons like that, the academy would have been slammed with lawsuits a long time ago. - I lied a bit, because the day before I read Aizawa's file, it said that he repeatedly expelled students...from the heroic faculty, but he couldn't expel them from the academy.
- That's right, it's obvious if you think about it properly. - Momo Yaoyorozu, another new classmate of mine, with a very good build and black hair with fringes on the right side, tied back in a big ponytail, supported me. Her quirk is 'Creation', she can create any object, as long as she knows its structure and exact properties and the part of the body from which the object will emerge is not covered. She spends her own calories to create, she has ranked high in almost all normals because of her quirk and intelligence. Her quirk is somewhat similar to the creation of my solid constructs, the difference being that she can create any item at all if she has enough calories. She also has big assets, just like Kazuho.
The results of the test were as I expected. I obviously got first place, Yaoyorozu second, third place went to the girl with the burn under her left eye who kept looking at me with a pensive look, and Katsuki fourth.
Last place went to Toru Hagakure, whose quirk makes her completely invisible, but she doesn't seem to have good control over her quirk, which makes her look like a flying talking garment.
- Why the hell did you get first place again! - Katsuki was furious at me, as if I'd taken away her lifelong dream.
- I'll let you guys figure it out without me. This is the end of the lesson for today, so please make sure to read your lesson plan sheets in class. - said Sotrigolova and left.
After the first class, almost remembered as an exception on the first day of school, everyone went home.
- Wait! - shouted a familiar voice, behind me, when I had already left the gates of the academy. - Are you going to the station? - ran up to me and asked Ochako.
- No. - I answered at once, and Uraraka immediately became sad. - But if you want, I can walk you.
- Mm-hmm. - she replied with a happy smile.
- I see you two are going on a date already? - Ashido caught up with us and winked at me.
- N-no...
- Ashido, stop embarrassing her, Ochako will be steaming soon. - I said in a stern tone.
- Oh, come on, can't we have a joke or something? - she came over to Uraraka and took her elbow. - Ochako, I'm sorry to embarrass you, you're not mad at me are you?
- I'm not mad at you Mina-chan. - she looked at Ashido.
- That's good! - Mina clapped her hands. - Oh, who's that in front? Katsuki? Hey, Katsuki! - She saw Bakugou walking in front of us and called out to her.
- What do you want?! - Bakugou asked in a surly manner as she walked home.
- You were very rude and angry today, did something happen to you? - Ashido asked.
- None of your business!
- I think I figured out what she wants. - She whispered something in Ochako's ear, and after her nod, they approached Katsuki and hugged her from both sides. - You need a hugging session!
- What the hell!? Get off me! - She tried to break free, but she was pinned down on both sides.
- So you gave the nasty pest a hug and I didn't? - I asked a little offended.
- Who's the nasty pest, huh?! - Katsuki glared at me angrily. I feel like studying at this academy is going to be very interesting....
