Chapter 8

Izuku chuckled softly, mainly nervous, as he was once again surrounded by the class who asked him questions.

"How did you do that!"

"That was so cool! Can you teach me that!"

"What's your quirk!"

Izuku looked at the person, who asked the last question, and smiled at them.

"I don't have one."

The class, even the teacher, were intrigued by what he meant. There was no other explanation, right?

"What do you mean? That was clearly a super strength quirk!"

"If it was, then how did he shoot air out of his mouth?"

Izuku simply grinned as they all talked about what his quirk was.

"Like I said, I have no quirk."

"That explains why my quirk didn't work on you."

Izuku turned to his teacher to see his hair floating and his eyes glowing red. It was at this display that Izuku began to fanboy.

"I thought you looked familiar! Your the underground hero; EraserHead! Your quirk erases another person's quirk!"

"Who?"

Most of the class were still clueless about who their teacher was, while a handful knew, before EraserHead spoke.

"Just call me Aizawa, or Sensei, whichever you prefer. We will be doing assessment tests, basically tests with quirks. From this I can see where you need improvement and where you stand in the class."

"But what about orientation?"

Uraraka, despite her nature, really wanted to make friends.

"Orientation is a waste of time. Here at UA teachers are allowed to teach their students what ever they think is best. Right now, Izuku is first place in being the strongest."

Izumi scoffed as she walked to Aizawa with a smirk.

"I think it should be obvious who is, actually, the best."

She was met with silence as Aizawa's eyebrows furrowed.

"Oh really? Since your so damn sure of yourself, the person in last place will be expelled."

"What!?"

"You can't do that!"

Aizawa smirked as he saw his class all tremble, but still remain in place.

"I can, and I will. Now follow me to the next test. Izuku, since you thrown the ball into next week, you don't have to participate in the ball throw test."

Izuku, who was in slight pain, gave his teacher a thumbs up.

'Why does my everything hurt!'

*Standing Long Jump*

Bakugo had used his explosions to fly over the sand. A boy with a belly button laser had flew as well. Izuku only crouched down slightly an once he jumped he was standing on the other side of the sand box.

Needless to say Izuku had gotten first.

*Grip Strength*

A boy with six arms squeezed the grip machine and managed to score high. He was instantly given attention by Uraraka, however, she got rejected by him.

Izuku gulped as he was given, yet another, grip as other copies laid across the floor broken or completely crushed.

Izuku had received first place, with the red haired boy quietly muttering 'Manly'.

*50 Meter Dash*

The boy who called out Izuku in the auditorium during the entrance exams had gotten a set time of 3.04 seconds.

Izuku was paired against Bakugo as the two looked at the finish line. Before he could move Izuku was already standing on the other side with his score being 1.02 seconds.

*Side to Side Steps*

Mineta used his quirk by making two piles and simply bounced off of them. Meanwhile Izuku's body seemed to vibrate as he made dents in the ground.

Mineta was close for being first, only for Izuku to beat him by one side step.

*Sit Ups*

Izuku was told, repeatedly, to stop but he insisted he could keep going.

*Ball Throw*

Izumi had gotten a score of 702.6 meters. Bakugo's score was higher being 705.2 meters. Uraraka took first place for the ball throw for achieving a infinity sign for her.

*Distance Run*

Momo created a bike using her quirk, which many thought was literal life hacks, and many used their quirks for running.

The boy, who had the naval laser, clutched his stomach in pain from over usage. Izumi laid out on the ground, her body aching, not used to the pain.

Izuku was told, repeatedly once again, to stop and he insisted, once more, he could keep running.

*Seated Toe Touch*

Mina had received a perfect score, thanks to being flexible, and smirked knowing Izuku couldn't possibly beat her at her own game.

Only to be proven wrong as Izuku had bent his back backwards as he grabbed his ankles from behind, before rolling away like a certain blue hedgehog.

Mina had never been so confused, shocked, and disturbed that day.

*Test Results*

"Ok. Instead of saying it, here is a projector, make sure you pick up the syllabus I left on my desk on your way out. Where you stand in rankings are where you stand in the class."

A small screen displayed everyone's name as Izuku saw his name in first place for nearly everything except for the ball throw, he was second.

1. Izuku Yagi
2. Shoto Todoroki
3. Momo Yaoyorozu
4. Katsuki Bakugo
5. Yo Shindo
6. Eijirou Kirishima
7. Setsuna Tokage
8. Tenya Iida
9. Mezo Shoji
10. Mina Ashido
11. Kyouka Jirou
12. Izumi Yagi
13. Ibarra Shiozaki
14. Ochako Uraraka
15. Hanta Sero
16. Mashirao Ojiro
17. Rikkido Sato
18. Denki Kaminari
19. Yuga Aoyama
20. Minoru Mineta

Most were pretty reluctant for their scores, except for Izumi, while Mineta was saddened he was last.

He dragged his feet as he approached Izuku.

"My Lord, I have failed you, I do not deserve to be your squire."

Before he could walk away Aizawa grinned smugly as he made an announcement.

"Oh, that expulsion thing? That was just a logical ruse to get you all to give it your all."

The class tilted their heads in unison as they were curious what it meant, except for the top five.

"No one is going home or getting expelled."

An soon chaos followed. Aizawa still had his shit eating grin as his students all let out a breath they didn't realize they were holding.

Mineta soon bowed in front of Izuku as he made his statement once more.

"The divines have granted me a blessing! I shall be your squire until they say otherwise my Lord!"

Izuku chuckled softly as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.

'I mean, how am I supposed to tell him that the Gods are trying to end humanity?"

After they all changed back into their school uniforms Izuku waited at the front gate. His head shot up upon hearing footsteps only to see Uraraka standing there.

"Oh, hi Uraraka-San. What did you need?"

She began to smile as she approached Izuku.

"I just wanted to know, can you walk me home? It's not that far from here."

Uraraka pushed her lips out a bit as she tried seducing Izuku. However his face remained unfazed as he shook his head.

"Sorry, but I'm waiting for my friends. I have something important I want to ask them."

A small smile found its way onto his face as Uraraka scoffed.

"You can do so much better than those three. I mean look at me! I am a fine piece of work."

"A real shit piece of work if you ask me.."

Izuku slapped his hands over his mouth as he looked at Uraraka with wide eyes just like her. Before he could say anything else he saw Mineta running straight toward Uraraka.

"Cease your whore magic vile witch! My Lord already has a maiden waiting for him at their adobe! As his squire I shall protect thy Lord! Engarde!"

Uraraka ran away from Mineta in fear before he stopped near Izuku.

"My Lord! Are you alright?"

Izuku didn't know if he should thank or scold him for insulting Uraraka. However it would be contradictory if he scolded him.

"Mineta...this is the only time I will say this. Thank you for coming to my aid."

Mineta smiled as he bowed.

"Twas nothing my Lord."

The two heard more footsteps approaching and Izuku smiled upon the sight. Kyouka was twirling one of her jacks with her finger, an act Izuku found adorable, Mina was sporting a lilac color and Setsuna was smirking, however, her blush was very noticeable.

"Mineta, I relieve you of your duty, you may go home."

"At once my Lord."

Mineta left without another word, already understanding the message, and was glad Izuku didn't mock him.

Kyouka kept twirling one jack with a finger, refusing to meet Izuku's gaze, not knowing why he was waiting. Mina's pink was slowly becoming lilac. An Setsuna's usual bold and upfront confidence was slowly crumbling down.

"Well, shall we get going?"

Izuku reached his hand out, for one of them to grab, as he smiled softly looking at the three.

Kyouka jumped at the opportunity and clutched onto his right arm, Setsuna taking his left, while Mina walked next to them.

Setsuna directed them to their favorite karaoke place having a great time spending it with each other. Before the night had ended Izuku placed a kiss on each of their cheek, doing his best tomato impression, while they smiled.

"I-I'll see you tomorrow! H-Have a g-goodnight!"

Izuku proceeded to run to his home, steam already leaving his ears, once he made it however he was met with silence. He crept into his home, hoping nothing bad had happen, only for the lights to turn on and Shiva scaring him.

"Surpri-!"

Izuku accidentally launched a left hook and Shiva fell to the ground. Inko and Toshinori were holding a cake in the kitchen, with three people standing there shocked.

"Heh, nice."

Izuku turned his head slowly toward the kitchen. An their eyes had met, it was the Bakugo family.

"What is he doing here?"

They all knew what that meant and looked at Bakugo.

He nervously walked up to Izuku, who was still weary of him, as he met his gaze.

"L-Look..I know I did terrible things back then. A-An I apologize for that. De-Izuku. I am sorry. I hope that you can forgive me."

Bakugo proceeded to bow, on his hands and knees, as Izuku stared at him in wonder. So far the person showing change was Bakugo.

"Bakugo, I can't accept your apology."

He looked up and saw Izuku contemplating his next words.

"It's just...you have abused, insulted, and practically beat me into the ground. Throughout my life ever since you learned I was quirkless."

Izuku crouched down, bending his left knee, as he stared at Bakugo's face.

"How can I forgive years worth of violence, from a simple apology?"

Bakugo knew it was a bad idea, but it was worth a shot, he stood up and proceeded to walk toward the door. Except he was stopped by Izuku's hand on his shoulder.

"However. If I see change, real change, coming from you. I'll think about it."

Bakugo looked back to see Izuku smiling.

"Now. We gonna eat some cake or what?"

Bakugo smirked as the two walked toward the table, both families happy they were reconnecting, and the night was filled with laughter.

While they seemingly forgot Shiva was still unconscious on the floor.

*The Next Day*

Izuku had left home early, around five, and was smiling.

He had received a text from Mina saying that she and the others were going to a restaurant with some friends. Setsuna texted him next telling him he had to come with and make friends. He laughed out loud accidentally on the train. He shook his head and already knew no matter the answer he gave he would be dragged into it.

Izuku walked into UA and noticed that students were beginning to arrive. Back in Aldera students arrived simply when they wanted too.

'UA is a very noticeable change from Aldera.'

He opened the door and was immediately greeted by Mineta.

"My Lord, I have been waiting for your arrival!"

Well, at least it was a pleasant change.

To be Continued.
