"I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Nice to meet you," he was, as always, brief. Rummaging through his sleeping bag, Aizawa pulled out his gym uniform and said,
- When we go out on the field, it would be advisable to wear this.
And as soon as he said this, a notification about receiving a new task immediately appeared before my eyes:
["Excellent understanding"
Condition for completion: take first place in the tests for understanding the quirk.
Reward: 5,000 points for each first place. For the first place of the final result + 10,000 points and Talent Improvement x1]
Not bad... A decent amount of points - much better than what I had to settle for for many years. If the tasks appear as often, I will be able to rise quickly.
Well, and then, the whole class moved to the locker room, and then to the sports field behind the school...
And so the test of understanding quirks began.
Uraraka was clearly confused by such an unexpected "test":
— What about the introductory lesson? Orientation?
"If you're going to be a hero, it's time to forget about sluggish formalities," Aizawa replied apathetically. "U.A. has always been known for its boundless traditions. Especially when it comes to leaving the students to their own devices."
Most of them were obviously surprised. Although, I was more attracted to the outfits of my cute classmates. The school uniform suited Yaoyorozu the best... Her curves were the most mature.
- Huh? - She noticed my gaze, but I smiled as if nothing had happened:
- Hello.
She was slightly embarrassed.
It's not like I have experience with girls... It's clearly a matter of pheromones, and my rather attractive face. Considering that my mother was a real beauty, her children turned out great too, for which I am grateful, it will definitely solve a lot of problems.
After a lot of chatter, which probably didn't please Aizawa himself, he suddenly turned to me:
- Koji was number one in the entrance exam... What was your best throwing result in school?
- Hm? 152 meters.
"Eh?"
- What?
All eyes turned to me again.
Hmm, honestly, I didn't do it on purpose. The thing is, I pumped up my strength back then and that's how it happened...
Aizawa's eyebrow twitched:
- Did you use your quirk?
I shook my head.
"I see... Hm..." looking me up and down with his piercing gaze, he nodded:
- Well... It seems like you've been training a lot, so it's not that surprising. Now, use your quirk and throw the ball.
Everyone looked at me expectantly.
Well... Okay.
When I entered the circle, Aizawa said:
- In the circle you are free to do whatever you want. Come on, show what you can do.
Well, now that we're finally getting down to business...
I stretched my shoulder, then tossed the ball up over my palm, caught it sharply in the air, and then swung it with all my might...
*NOOOOO*
The explosion was so powerful that the sand nearby was thrown into the air, and the ball rushed forward at such speed that it eventually reached the end of the field and made a hole in the steel fence.
At that moment, Aizawa pressed the metronome button, looking at me with... A smirk?
I chuckled sheepishly.
- I think we need a new ball...
Aizawa turned around and said calmly:
"You should always know your maximum... And you shouldn't judge yourself by the results of others," he then raised the metronome, which showed the number 1232 meters.
— Huh?!
- Wow!
- Holy shit!
- More than a kilometer! As expected from our number one!
Well, I didn't think I'd take such a position in class. I hope it won't cause me any problems.
That's when...
- Give me the ball! I'll show him what a real explosion is! - Katsuki suddenly stepped forward and growled:
- I'll crush him!
Yeah, that used to piss him off a lot. My brother was proud of his strength and was often praised for it, but I tried not to show my strength, I trained and grew, and when I did show it, I didn't brag about it too much. That's what pissed him off the most, because he knew there was someone with the same quirk who was much stronger. I think it even depressed him to some extent.
Although, the main thing was that I developed my quirk constantly, since childhood. It was not a matter of talent, but diligence. Katsuki often neglected this, although because of me he eventually began to come to his senses. Our quirks were the same, but the possession, the force of the explosion, the amount of sweat released, I succeeded in all this due to constant stress.
- So, it turns out that we can let go of restraint?!
- Awesome!
Many were impressed and even overjoyed at the thought that they would finally be able to use their quirks however they wanted.
However...
- Anyone who fails all eight tests will be brought to trial and expelled as punishment.
Aizawa's mere suggestion changed the mood of everyone present. Of course, except for me, Katsuki, and Todoroki. The others weren't so sure of themselves. Especially Midoriya.
Uraraka was outraged at how unfair it was, but Aizawa put her in her place.
I was more concerned about excellent results in the tests, because then there would be more points.
For this, I was even ready to resort to doping. In the next test, my main problem will probably be Iida... His speed can interfere very much. I will probably take a risk and use "accelerated rotation". It will exhaust me, but give me a chance to win.
Then the tests continued...
50 meters.
Iida was first and of course, like a fish in water. Three seconds.
The runs continued, and I thought about what would be best to use. I had two techniques for this case. Accelerated rotation - multiple explosions at the moment of rotation. The speed is not bad, the sweat expenditure is huge. After such a technique, it was necessary to recover a little. According to my rough estimates, this may be enough, but... There was another technique - Mortar. However, for it it was necessary to accumulate a lot of sweat in both palms. The equipment would have come in handy... But, in my youth I improvised.
Okay, that'll be better... The explosion will be very powerful.
I cupped my hands, covered my right with my left, and concentrated.
Soon it was my turn. There was enough sweat.
Katsuki watched me sullenly, then looked at my opponent with a contemptuous laugh. Well then... Let's begin!
The moment the whistle blew, I threw my arms out in front of me, with my back to the running line in advance, and then...
*BUUUUM!*
*WHHHH!*
What 50 meters? I flew almost three hundred!
And then regrouped in the air...
*Bang* *Bang*
And with a light gait he returned to his shocked classmates.
One second and ten hundredths. Excellent. Even overdone, heh...
Katsuki was next and managed to get through in just under three seconds. His irritation towards me knew no bounds... Heh...
However, so far everything was going smoothly. I was on top. Of course, not for long...
