A Stupid Mishap
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good."
― Harry Potter
(Y/n)'s P.O.V.
Arriving at the part of the field where the 4th test would take place. Aizawa-sensei announced what the 4th test exactly was. The 4th test was side steps and Aizawa-sensei then began to explain what was going to happen in this test. 'Simple enough. I will not use my power for this simply because if I do. I’ll end up puking in the nearest restroom.”
After a while of observing the students who went first, I got bored. So I went over to Todo-kun. We engaged in a conversation about quirks again since it seemed like he wasn't going to listen to any other topics if it wasn't going to benefit him in any way. It didn't seem like he was enjoying our conversation, but at least he was listening to me ramble on about quirks and sometimes he would say his own opinion, but sometimes only.
I gave a little sigh when I had finally run out of quirks to talk about, so I politely said goodbye to him, to which he replied with a nod and walked away. 'Well, I'm not sure if he's interesting or what. Definitely the quiet type of student, but usually the quietest ones have something underneath going on and that's what draws me in for some reason.’
I wanna know what is going on with him. Well to be more specific I guess, I want to learn more about his kind. I want to know the differences between me and them. How they look so carefree and joyful, except for a few like Todo-kun and bird head for example..
“(L/n), prepare…" Aizawa-sensei said to which I nodded back.
'Focus on your goal, (Y/n). You came here to become a hero and for the greater good of everyone. Don't stir away from it just because of some people you barely know at all!' I internally screamed at myself. Walking towards the fold while stretching, I let out a shaky breath I didn't know I was holding, mentally preparing myself for the embarrassment to come for not using my quirk. When it was finally my turn, I got in position and waited for the count down.
"On your mark… Get set…" The robot said
A gunshot was fired and I immediately began to jump from one side to the other as quickly as possible. After about 15 times of doing side steps as fast as I could, I began to feel dizzy and lightheaded. 'But it's still too early! Just a bit more!’
None other than our infamous sensei spoke to me sternly, “(L/n), use your quirk or I’ll deduct your scores.”
“Fine.” I replied begrudgingly
‘Man, I need to get used to this feeling…' I then started to disapparate and apparate from one side to the other. Quickly finishing with everything I got before another gunfire was shot, indicating that I was. Stopping when finally the gun shot, walking if you could even call it that. Waddling towards the most nearby wall, I was given sympathetic looks from the people I passed.
I didn’t need their pity, but I wasn’t going to outright tell them that because I actually had a heart and some common sense not to be rude in front of everyone. I felt completely dizzy and I wasn’t able to walk on my own. All in all basically, I felt like complete shit.
Lucky for me, I wasn’t the only one, the girl known as Uraraka was also having a troublesome time with the side effects from her quirk. Unfortunately for her though, is that I’ve gotten used to the feeling of being dizzy up to a certain point, because of that I didn’t need to excuse myself to run to the restroom in order to vomit.
She stood a bit further away from the class, but still enough that we could witness all that was going down. She was trying her best to hold in all of the vomit by covering her mouth. Whilst all of that was happening, Iida and Midoriya who stood besides her, gave her moral support by holding back her hair and rubbing her back.
She pretty much looked helpless. What made the situation she was in even worse was that I could hear as everyone in groups began to whisper about the poor girl. I’ll let your imagination decide what you thought I heard, all I could say was that it wasn't really a melodic thing to hear. Merlin, I think I even saw our adviser look at her and scoffed.
And like bloody Hell, would I let any girl be treated like this! Me being me, couldn’t handle watching that sight as it reminded me of certain yellow badgers. I decided to help the poor girl. Inhaling deeply I pulled myself together and quickly approached the girl. Taking her into my arms, I motioned to the 2 young men that I’d handle her from then on. They nodded in response and thanked me for taking care of their newfound friend.
Raising my hand while still supporting the girl, “Sir, let me take her to the recovery girl or the restroom at least. I don’t think she can last any longer.”
"Go. And please be quick about it, there's still one more test left." Aizawa-sensei said, probably annoyed
Not wasting another moment. Immediately concentrated preparing to disapparate, being conscious that I was carrying another person with me, so I had to be super careful. Once I was fully set in motion, I didn’t waste any more time and just bloody disapparated to the restroom with her still slinging a single arm around my shoulder.
Apparently, she either gets easily motion sick or because she was already dizzy and about to puke as the moment we landed into the restroom, I had to make a beeline for the nearest stall as puke began to slip out from her mouth. The puke stained the clean white floor of the restroom, making a huge mess.
It was quite troublesome that she had to puke, but that was also my fault for not checking whether or not she was good to disap- I mean teleport. Practically kicking the door to the stall down, I quickly pulled her to the toilet. She knelt down and practically hurled out all the disgusting built up bile to the bowl.
Oops, there goes her breakfast. Holding back her hair with one hand, her hands began to tremble and find something to grip on. In the end, she found nothing except for the toilet bowl, having no other choice. She gripped onto the bowl for dear life, this reminds a lot of my past since I’ve been put in this situation several times beforehand.
“It’s alright. Let it all out.” I encouraged her, “Better out than in.”
She coughed in between the vomits and spit out some saliva. But I could tell she still wasn’t done expelling all out everything in her stomach. I had to help her, though I also knew I had to clean up the mess she made outside. If not and someone walks in, that’ll be so embarrassing. Especially since it’s still the first day of school.
“Hey, apologies. I know you still need some help here, but I gotta go clean up the mess you made back there.” I gestured to the vomit she casted out just before we reached the stall, “Is that alright with you? I’ll be quick.”
She turned her head back slightly, enough that she could look at me in the eyes. Snot and tears were dripping from her face, one could tell she was having one of those bad luck days. Weakly, her eyes turned glossy as she nodded silently. Turning back to let out all the things she was holding back from.
15 year old me, proudly and carelessly, without a wand conjured a hair tie using a nonverbal spell to do it. Smugly smirking to myself, I tied back her short hair to at least make her experience right now a bit more easier on her part.
Stepping out of the stall, I walked over silently to all the other stalls making sure that it was only me and Uraraka. After making sure it was only me and her, I locked the restroom’s door, grabbing the wand that I hid expertly under my clothes. I approached the vomit and with a wand motion of the letter S, ‘Scourgify!’ I concentrated whole yelling that out in my mind.
“Poof!” A slightly loud audible sound ripped through the bathroom
With the amazing power of magic, all of the disgusting food leftover and bile, disappeared so suddenly into thin air as though nothing had been there in the first place. Hoping that the brunette wouldn’t notice the sound over all her gurgling, moans, and whines of pain. I skillfully hid my wand back into my clothes, rushing to get some tissues for the poor girl to use, then rushing back directly to the stall.
Handing to the girl the tissue in my hand, “Here, you’ll want to use this to wipe your mouth with. Are you done or do you still need some more help?” I asked the girl patiently
Grabbing the tissue from me, “I think I’m good now, thanks for all the help. I really appreciate it, I owe you one.”
“No biggie. So just forget it.”
I didn’t dare to look at the toilet bowl as I might also start puking from disgust, “It isn’t a big deal, so forget about it.” I pinched her chubby cheeks playfully
“Uwah! Still thank you for going through all the trouble of taking care of me!” Bowing her head down at me
Giving her a smile, “You’re welcome, I guess.”
She flushed down the vomit herself as I walked out of the stall, fearing that if I flushed it or smelled the stench far too long, I’d also be disgusted resulting in me puking as well. The scent alone was awfully strong, almost making me gag, but I held back. I wasn’t the one who was currently feeling like shit. I could tell she was dizzy as she fell back to the wall.
Clutching her head, she slowly slid down. The beating of her heart was so loud, that just by standing next to her, I could hear it as clear as day. The beating sounds engulfed the silence in the restroom and there wasn’t any sign of stopping or slowing down.
Kneeling down in front of her, not caring whether the floor was dirty or not, I brought my hands to her head, giving her a gentle pat of reassurance as she buried her head into her knees. I could easily recognize what she was feeling from a mile away. Her breathing became uneven, and hiccups were heard in between the soft sniffles. She was embarrassed and overwhelmed.
In this position, I kept completely silent, thinking carefully of my next moves, in order to make sure she was comfortable. Her soft cries echoed in the restroom, silently I thanked any deity there was that no one was in the restroom beside us. Deciding that keeping quiet and just keeping her company was the smart move, wrapping my arms around her frail form. I continued to whisper encouraging words to her.
“Take all the time you need.” I began as she finally calmed down.
The only thing that one could hear was her heavy breathing, which contrasted of my own, light breathing. I closed my eyes shut and listened to my heartbeat, using that beating rhythm to calm my nerves. I let out a relaxed sigh. I had been so tense today trying to impress everyone and try to fit in, I forgot how to calm my nerves properly.
“You alright now? Wanna head back?” She weakly nodded in response.
We walked back to the test field with her right arm over my shoulder, supporting her walking. She still wasn’t feeling herself, but not enough that it was really necessary for her to head to recovery girl’s office. We mostly walked in silence except for the small whimpers, groans, and moans of agony she let out.
Once we arrived I helped her to sit on a nearby flimsy plastic chair, her newfound best friends. Midoriya and Iida immediately went up to her, absolutely doting on her. Asking the usual questions, like how she was feeling and such.
“Hey, I’m going to head back to my friends. Are you going to be alright?” I nudged her shoulder gently
“Yeah, go right ahead. Thank you so much, by the way!” She cutely perked up
I waved goodbye to her, Midoriya, and Iida-kun. I also met a new person along the way, Asui Tsuyu or Tsuyu-chan in short as she likes to be called by her first name by her friends. We had a short conversation about our quirks and trivial things, like how we liked to style our hair.
Surprisingly her beautifully unique dark green hair which was styled to look like a bow at the end wasn’t even hard to make or maintain. We would have conversed even further had it not been for Mina-chan calling my attention.
I apologized to her, excused myself, and geared to Mina and the others. Who were all patiently waiting for me, with happy looks. Mina grabbed my wrist, proceeding to pull me into her, spilling me about all the tea that happened and talked about whilst I was still in the restroom with Uraraka.
They also asked in regards to Uraraka, more specifically why she had all of a sudden not felt well. I explained to them my theories, I hadn’t been able to ask her if it was because of her overusing her quirk, resulting in all the nausea. Other theories were also passed around between us, surprisingly enough even the angry blonde mutt from this morning joined in. Apparently, Kirishima had decided to join Bakugo in our little group, not like I had anything against it or him being a tsundere.
In fact, it was quite hilarious how Kirishima and the others were all dotings on him and his antics, like loving friends. Their laughs and kindness were terribly contagious, even I couldn’t help but join in on the fun. Although having only met just today, we acted like we’d been friends for a long time now.
“Shut up! I’ll kill ya!” Bakugo screamed again for no reason, it seems like he does that a lot.
For your context, we were just chatting about whose quirk was cooler. We insisted on it being different people, while Bakugo wouldn’t shut up about how his quirk was the coolest and no one could ever fucking beat him.
“You know, you shouldn’t yell at your friends or you’ll have no friends left.” Kaminari said, not fearing for his life.
Bakugo glared at him and was about to grab him by the neck to kill him, had we not intervened, “Mina, distract Aizawa-sensei! We’ll handle the situation before any of us gets in trouble!” I yelled out, loud enough that only our group could hear.
Mina nodded, running off to distract sensei, who was monitoring the ongoing 5th and last test, which was the ball throw from the beginning that only Bakugo was able to participate in. But if ever she had failed, I already cast a charm on our profess- sensei, I meant rather. The charm was specifically the muffliato charm, so even if we were making a lot of noise. Aizawa-sensei wouldn’t even notice a thing.
Going back, now it was me and Kirishima who stood in between the 2 boys, me facing Kaminari whilst Kirishima faced Bakuhoe- oopsie, I meant Bakugo. Sero-kun was behind him, ready to help back up Kirishima on this difficult task.
Grabbing Kaminari first before teleporting us to somewhere Bakugo wouldn't kill us, we let out a sigh of relief when we escaped. Unknowingly, I had teleported us near Midoriya and the others, whose sweat dropped at the sight of us trying to diffuse the situation with Bakugo.
I think I saw Midoriya’s face grimace even more than before, mumbling the words Kacchan or something like that. Well, it didn’t really matter so I shook my head and turned to Kaminari, relaxing a bit. It would have been a lot better, if only Kaminari had not lost his balance, causing him to fall to the ground. Clutching his mouth in the hopes he wouldn’t end up like Uraraka.
I looked at him apologetically, “Sorry, forgot to mention the drawback of my quirk. Next time, I’ll warn you before I use my quirk on both of us.”
“It’s fi-” He groaned, not even able to finish his sentence because the disgusting bile arose in his throat.
Iida who watched the scene in horror at what was happening began yelling his lungs out at how inappropriate Bakugo was brought. How Bakugo didn’t have morals and a lot of other stuff. I knew if I didn’t act fast we would get caught and be in a lot of trouble. So as I saw Iida marching up to Bakugo and the others to try to diffuse the scene.
I quickly looked around making sure no one was watching me, luckily everyone else was either doing the test, helping poor Kaminari out, or just watching Kirishima and Sero trying to hold back Bakugo with their quirks. Just narrowly missing all the explosions thrown at them.
I then casted a non-verbal silencing charm on him, ‘Silencio!’ I screamed in my head, slyly doing a little hand motion, pointing it at Iida-kun. Beaming to myself secretly in pride for having the spell work out so successfully. Iida was yelling, but he had gone mute clearly making him so distraught and distracted by the newfound information that he had forgotten everything else and began trying desperately to fix his voice.
‘Sorry, Iida. It had to be done.’ I grimaced. Looking at Kaminari behind me once more before leaving him to deal with it by himself. ‘Eh… He can handle himself.’ I thought, while running back to where Kirishima and Sero were currently trying to hold back Bakugo from the front and behind, obviously having an extremely difficult time.
Watching the scene unfold before our eyes for a second, completely and utterly amused and yet annoyed. Annoyed because I wanted to be part of it, yes you read that correctly. Since I was young, I’ve always had a knack for getting myself into trouble. And you guessed it, old habits die hard.
“(L/n), what are you doing here?! You should be helping Kaminari!” Kirishima whisper-yelled at me in a panic.
“He’s a big boy now, he can handle it himself.” I replied casually, stepping into the situation.
With the extra help, we were finally able to hold down Bakugo, and with a hard hit to the head with Kirishima’s hardening quirk. Bakugo was knocked out for a while, it had been a miracle honestly that we were unscathed and still alive. I think that he was just holding back on his quirk, knowing that he could still get in big trouble for activating it without sensei’s permission or something along those lines…
So I guess you could say he was relying on his pure brawn alone with the occasional small explosions. Unscathed was a complete lie, in all honesty, a part of that reason may or may not have been the fact that I used a little spell on Bakugo, nonverbal of course. Can’t go revealing our powers just yet. Now that we had Bakugo knocked out, Kirishima and Sero had both of their arms slung over their shoulders. I could tell they were a bit panicked at the situation.
Like what if, Kirishima had hit so hard that it would take a while before he could wake up? But I assured them that he would wake up just in time. I knew he’d wake up in time, if he didn’t I’d cast a spell on him, as simple as that. Or if I’m really feeling mischievous I could let him continue sleeping and put some shades on him so no one could tell. ‘I can even draw on his face!’
Time skip
I felt a quite intimidating feeling boiling in my skin, it was as though someone was staring at me, trying to gouge out every single reaction from me. I was mad or uncomfortable with eyes on me, I just loathed how harshly that human stared at me.
Quickly turned my head in different directions to try to find the culprit who was staring at me. 'Could it be that bloody pig, Mineta? I swear to Salazar that if it's him. I'm going to castrate with that perv who was probably staring at my a-" My train of thought were cut off as my eyes locked with heterochromia eyes.
"Sorry for being rude, guys. But I gotta go. I'll make it up to you guys next time or something." I said as I immediately walked towards Todo-kun without breaking eye contact, immediately Eijiro-kun and Denki-kun followed my eyes which led to Todo-kun.
"Wait… Isn't that…?" Eijiro-kun began
"Todoroki?" Denki finished for him as I walked towards the boy. "What do you think she wants with him? He’s pretty much silent his whole time here except when she talks to him. Think he has a thing for her?”
“It’s possible, he does act manly to her.” Kirishima thought hard but in a calm manner.
“Man, why is it always the hot guys that get the chicks?" The yellow-haired boy groaned without meaning to turn it into a pun. "It's fine she was out of my league anyway…" Finishing with a pout as he wrapped his arm around his friend’s shoulder.
As I walked toward him without breaking eye contact, it seemed like we were both stuck in some sort of trance. I don't know why, but my brain tuned out all of my surroundings. Why is this happening? I don't understand what's going on. Am I under a spell? No, I'm not, there are no signs that I am. Finally arriving in front of Todo-kun, there was a sort of awkward tension between us.
"You know, it's pretty rude to stare at someone." I said awkwardly.
”… I didn't realize what I was doing… Apologies for making you uncomfortable…" He casually spoke
"Just don't do it again, you know. Other girls might assume you're a pervert or somet- Wait! You aren't one right?" I teasingly asked with the intention of breaking his calm and cool facade.
"Of course not… Please don't categorize me as that type of person. I very much respect the female gender." His facade finally breaks even if only for a little while, making him flustered and panicked trying to explain his side.
"(L/n)! Prepare yourself, you're next!" Aizawa-sensei yelled at me lazily, so I excused myself from him and went towards the field when he suddenly grabbed my wrist.
"Yes?" I questioned curiously as I stared at the wrist that he was currently holding.
"Look, I really want to apologize. I don't know what's going on with me today. Normally, I don't do stuff like this, but today, I just don't understand, but I do understand my mistake against you and I wish to redeem myself from my actions. I truly apologize for staring at you and making you uncomfortable. I understand if you don't forgive me for my actions, but I do hope that you take my words into consideration. I truly don't know what's going on with me today." He said softly.
I could tell that it broke his pride to apologize to me for his actions. Normally I wouldn't forgive people like him, but there's something about him in that pitiful state that makes me want to forgive him and just reassure him that his actions meant no harm to me anymore. What's wrong with me?
"Er- Well… No need to apologize, you already explained yourself to me and it wasn't that big of a deal anyway. I guess I was just overreacting and I'm very sorry for that and the fact that I basically called you a pervert." I said while looking away with a blush.
'How embarrassing.' I thought to myself.
"It should be me who apologizes, not the other way around. I understand why you would react that way. And don't be bothered by the fact that you called me a pervert, it's alright. Besides, I've been called far worse things…” He mumbled out the last part so that I couldn't hear.
"Huh? What was that? I couldn't catch what you were saying." I said as I tilted my head at him.
"It's nothing you need to worry about." He said
"Alright, if you say so. And I will forgive you if that makes you feel any better, just… If you really wanted to stare at me, just take a picture. It lasts longer.” I teased making him groan a bit in embarrassment, “In all seriousness, don't stare at me like that again." I finished with a smile.
"Alright." He simply replied
He still hasn't said anything after that nor did he release his hand from my wrist. He just stayed silent, but he wasn't staring at me this time, but at the ground. I tugged my hand from him, hoping that it was enough to get his hand off me, unfortunately, it wasn't. But it was enough to catch his attention.
"Apologies, I was lost in my train of thoughts." He said as he let go of my wrist.
"No, it's fine." I said as I held my wrist close to my chest.
"Does it hurt?" He questioned in a panicked state.
"When I fell from Heaven? Not really, however I did scrape my knee crawling out from Hell.” His eyebrows rose in confusion making me giggle from him being so dense, “I’m just joking. Relax yourself, loosen up a bit, I’m a big girl now. It doesn’t even hurt a little bit." I giggled at his actions, which caused him to blush.
"What do you mean by that?" He questioned with a serious expression.
“As I said, you’re so tense, loosen your body a bit. You’ll get nowhere trying to become a hero with that holding you back."
Smiling gently at him, I motioned over to Aizawa-sensei who was looking at me in anticipation since it was my turn. He nodded at me in reply, catching what I said trying to explain with no words. Quickly I turned around while placing my hands behind my back, a habit my mother enforced in me. Now walking towards the part of the field where I would take the next test.
I quickly recomposed myself so I would at least look presentable in front of my teacher and classmates. Quickly arriving in the part of the field, where there was a white painted circle on the ground. Wasting no more time or sensei would be annoyed with me like with how professor Snape’s painting usually is.
I positioned myself in the middle of the circle, I looked towards Aizawa-sensei and nodded. He tossed a new baseball at me since Uraraka-chan had floated it into space to which it will never be retrieved again, causing her score to become infinity.
Stretching myself a bit, so that I wouldn't strain my muscles. I calmed myself down by breathing in and out at a steady pace. I quickly clutched the baseball in my hand tightly. Let's hope that this spell works. I haven't tried teleporting objects before. If I had only mastered it then it would probably reach farther than the one that I'm going to do right now. 'Maybe I could use a wind charm first then teleport? No, I wouldn't want to reveal too many things for now. ' I rationalized in my head.
"Whenever you're ready." Aizawa-sensei said lazily.
"On your mark… Get set…" The robot said
A gunshot was heard and I immediately threw the ball into the air as hard as I could, then when gravity started to bring the ball down towards the ground, I mumbled under my breath the spell that would teleport the ball even further into the sky.
'C'mon, please work!' I yelled internally as I looked intently at the ball. Then all of a sudden the ball disappeared and reappeared somewhere above the clouds where I couldn't see it. 'Thank, God! It actually worked!' I thought to myself as I smiled like a dimwit.
"557 meters…" Aizawa-sensei mumbled out to me lazily.
'It's not bad, I guess for my first time doing it, but it didn't go as far as Bakugo. I'll just need to work on that to get it even further.' I thought as I walked off the field and back towards Todo-kun who was standing away from everyone. I would have gone back to Mina and the others, had Todoroki not seemed so lonely.
"By the way, when's your turn?" I questioned
"Shortly after you, I think. Why do you ask?" He questioned
"No reason at all…" I trailed off as my eyes landed on a green-haired boy better known as Midoriya.
"Hey, Todo-kun?" I spoke as I tugged a bit on the hem of the sleeves of his PE shirt.
"What?" He asked, a bit irritated since I was technically invading his personal space, in my defense he didn’t complain or anything.
"No need to get irritated. I just wanted to know your opinion on something." I replied calmly, in contrast to his previous expressions.
"My opinion on what exactly?" He questioned curiously as he eyed me.
"Have you noticed that green-haired boy?" I questioned
"Do you mean Midoriya?" He replied
"Yeah… Have you noticed that he hasn't used his quirk?" I questioned
"Now that you mentioned it. No, I haven't." He replied.
"Me too. I've noticed everyone else using their quirks to complete the test, but he hasn't. I think most of his scores are regular as if he was quirkless. Does that mean, his quirk isn't one suitable for combat?" I questioned as I poured out my train of thoughts to Todo.
"Well, he isn't the only one exactly. There's also the invisible girl." He contributed
"True, but I'm only curious about his quirk. I'm quite curious about how both he and Hagakure passed the entrance exam. Well now mostly Hagakure, now that I'm thinking it through. Her quirk is mostly good for stealth and doesn't involve any combat. While Midoriya, over there." I said as I gestured my head over to him. "I haven't witnessed his quirk. We took our practical entrance exam in different places, you see." I finished.
"I see and by Hagakure, you mean the invisible girl, am I right?" He questioned
"Yes. Oh, and by the way, where were you when Present Mic was announcing what to do for the practice exam? I didn't see you there and you're easy to spot in a crowd because of your hair, so…?" I trailed off
"I'm a recommended student. I took a different practical exam." He replied
"Oh, are you the only one from our class, who's recommended?" I questioned
"No, I believe the girl with the black ponytail was also recommended. I think I saw her in the written exam, but I'm not quite sure. We were divided for the practical exam, you see." He replied
'I wish all was recommended.' I thought.
"So, what was your practical exam like?" I questioned
"It was a 3-kilometer marathon where we had to use our quirks." He replied vaguely. "I came in second place, though." He finished
"Wow, second place, even if you didn't get first place that's still pretty good, you did your best, didn't you?" I said
"Of course, I did, but it doesn't matter to me whether or not I get first place or second as long as I pass then I'm content." He replied
"I agree, but the most important thing is to have fun. As long as I have fun, then I'm perfectly happy and content with whatever comes out, don't you agree?" I questioned
"Not really. If I fail a test, but I was having fun then what would be the point in being happy when I clearly failed? Wouldn't it be taking a step back from the future we're all going hard to run towards?" He questioned
"Everything can be taken away from us easily" I stated
"What do you mean?" He questioned
Not answering his question directly, but continuing what I had previously stated, I began to continue, "Who knows? Everything we worked extremely hard to achieve can be stripped away from us in an instant, like a blink of an eye. Remember, we only have 3 years here at U.A. and I intend to cherish each moment, even if I am feeling sorrow due to being defeated. I'll still cherish that defeat as if I had won something. For me, happiness is a huge motivation for me. If I'm happy I believe I can do just about anything and I could win. But that doesn't only mean that happiness is the only key to winning. No, no, no. There are many more things required than just that. In my opinion, if I fail then I'm not striving hard enough, but of course, that is only my opinion. You can create whatever opinion you want." I stated
"Whatever. I still don't get you though." He said as he rolled his eyes.
'Bitchy human! I gave you such an inspiring speech and that's how you respond, you could at least acknowledge, be appreciative, or literally anything along those lines.' I practically yelled out in my head, I practically had to bite my tongue, so that I couldn't tell him how rude he was and also not get into a fight with him.
"So, moving on, I wanted to ask what the practical entrance exam was for those who weren't recommended." He emphasized without noticing it to which I replied a bit harshly.
"Well, we had a 10 minute mock battle in a city simulation, we're supposed to destroy these 4 different types of robots. And depending on what type of robot you destroyed your points will vary. I saw most of our classmates when Present Mic was explaining what to do for the exam, but as I remember, I think they didn't allow friends to work together, so they separated them by placing them in different centers, I think?" I finished a bit calmer than I had said in the beginning.
'I'm sorry, but you're making it sound like being recommended is such a privilege and that privilege can only be from if you have connections or your parents have lots of cash. It seems like you're bragging to me about being recommended. Do you even realize that? Just because you're a recommended student, doesn't make you any better than us. And yes, I'm sorry for being harsh. I shouldn't act this way.' I thought to myself as I quickly looked behind me so that I could roll my eyes at him without him even noticing.
"Is there something wrong? What are you looking at?" He questioned me as he also turned his head around, so he too could search what I was looking at.
"Sorry, it's nothing. I just thought that I heard something unusual. Perhaps it's just the wind or my mind playing games on me." I lied to him, easily.
"I see. Now, going back to my question. How many points did you receive?" He questioned
"I think I received 123 points in total, 48 rescue points and 84 villain points, I also believe I came in second to Bakugo over there." I said as I motioned my head towards Bakugo. "But even if I received second place I had a lot of fun, so I'm perfectly content!" I finished with a forced smile at him.
'Salazar Slytherin! I just want to roll my eyes back at him or insult him a bit, but that will obviously lead to him and I getting into a fight, which will end up being my fault, so no… Ugh!' I thought.
"As long as you have fun, then you're happy?" He questioned
"Yeah, that's what I said. I believe that I didn't stutter when I explained it to you." I smiled a bit less forcefully now.
'Calm down, (Y/n). Don't be rude to him.' I tried to calm myself down. I was going to continue our conversation with Todo-kun, but on a different topic this time when my eyes caught a certain frizzy green haired boy.
"Hey, look, it's Midoriya's turn, I think he'll finally reveal his quirk, since I think this is the last test. If he doesn't, then at this rate, he'll most likely end up coming in last and get expelled." I stated as I gestured towards Midoriya.
"You're right." He said in a sort of innocent way which made me smile.
'Maybe you're not so bad, Todo?' I thought to myself. We didn't further our conversation after that, choosing that it's wiser to observe what Midoriya was trying to do. 'I wonder what it could be?' I thought to myself in curiosity as I stared at Midoriya, waiting and watching his next move eagerly as to see what type of opponent or alli he is. Midoriya was holding the ball in his hand and stared at it sort of creepily, but I guess it was because he was nervous or in deep thought about his next move.
"Midoriya is not in a good situation." Iida said now that I performed the countercurse spell on him, randomly next to Bakugo, who was finally awake but still grumbled under his breath about how passed off he was.
'I agree, I'm a bit worried about him.' I thought, replying to Iida's comment.
"Of course, he's a wimpy quirkless." Bakugo stated as he looked at the blue haired boy and pointed towards Midoriya, who didn't even notice their conversation.
"A quirkless? Don't you know what he did at the exams?" Iida replied in shock.
'Quirkless? Seems like you have known Midoriya prior to meeting him in our class. But if what Bakugo is saying is truly right then is it possible for muggles to receive their quirks late? If so, then you must have an extremely powerful quirk, Midoriya-kun, at least based on what Iida said.' I thought to myself as if I was actually talking to him.
"Anytime soon…" Aizawa-sensei mumbled loudly.
I looked back at Midoriya, he was now looking at the ground, but still deep in thought. He was now frowning and lots of sweat was building on his forehead, but he's nervous. 'Who wouldn't be nervous being in Midoriya's position. It seems like he's definitely not having fun, unlike the other students.' I thought.
Then suddenly, Midoriya-kun broke out of his train of thoughts then immediately got into a stance to throw the ball. As I looked intently at him, his right arm, which is the one he's using to throw the ball, has lines like veins running all throughout around his arms that are glowing a bright shade of red.
Excitement ran through me as the thought of witnessing a powerful quirk was making me become a huge fangirl. However halfway through when Midoriya threw the ball, the red glowing lines around his whole right arm had disappeared and when he threw the ball, nothing special happened. It was as if his quirk was erased or something.
"46 meters." Aizawa-sensei said
Midoriya's eyes widened and his breathing became uneven as the dawn of realization hit him like a bus as his face contorted even more into one that clearly spells fear, fear of being expelled. 'That's a tad bit unfair… I feel really bad for him…' I thought.
"I was really trying to use it." Midoriya said as he stood back into a normal standing position and then stared in disbelief at his right hand.
"I erased your quirk. That entrance exam was not logical at all. Even someone like you got accepted." Aizawa-sensei said harshly
I stared at him a bit shocked as his hair began to rise, his eyes glowed bloodshot red and the cloth that he wore as a scarf around his neck began to go all over the place. Now that his hair wasn't covering his face, you can see even more clearly how tired and dry his eyes look. 'Does he even sleep?' I questioned in my head. Midoriya looked at him with a very broken expression.
"You erased my quirk?" Midoriya questioned as he suddenly backed up as though he realized something scary.
Suddenly our classmates were chattering amongst themselves. I couldn't hear much though because they were whispering and because of the distance between us. So nudging Todo's shoulder with my own I gestured for us to head towards our other classmates.
"I think they may know which pro hero our adviser actually is." I stated
Instead of giving a verbal reply, he simply just nodded and made his way towards our other classmates who were all gathered in a group amongst themselves, discussing any piece of information that they currently know about our adviser. I rolled my eyes at Todo-kun and shortly followed behind him.
Walking at the same pace as him, once arriving at our classmates, I stood next to Todo-kun and a boy with a bird's head on his head instead of a human head. 'So, this is what they call a mutant?' I started in my head. 'Is Mina-chan even considered a mutant? I'm pretty sure, but I still am confused about emitters and mutants a bit…' I finished in my head.
"Eraser?"
"I don't know him?"
"I've heard of him."
"He can erase our quirks? So cool!"
"Wait, who is he again?"
"Is he an underground hero?"
"He is."
"I've never seen him before in the media."
“Duh, that’s because he’s an underground hero!”
Whispers of my classmate began like wildfire as each one tried to contribute some sort of information about our adviser. Then suddenly Aizawa-sensei's voice began to lower, so that we couldn't hear what he was saying towards Midoriya. 'How annoying.' I rolled my eyes and stuffed one of my hands in my pocket.
"Audiculto…" I said, barely above a whisper and did a little hand motion in my pocket.
'There! I can finally hear them!' I thought to myself.
"You can't control your quirk, can you?" Aizawa-sensei questioned, effectively making everyone go quiet so that they could hear, but it was no use because he was too quiet for them to hear. Looking at the scene currently unfolding in front of us, Aizawa-sensei continued to scold Midoriya. "If you break down again, were you expecting someone to save you?" Aizawa-sensei finished lazily.
"Not at all!" Midoriya countered in a sort of panicked state.
'If he can't control his quirk, it must be really powerful then. But then again, how did he pass the entrance exam without having at least a little bit of his quirk? And what does sensei mean, if you break down again?' I wondered, but my thoughts were soon cut off, my eyes landed on Aizawa-sensei's form.
If he looked extremely intimidating before, he looked even more intimidating, even without moving his hands that were stuffed in his pant's pocket, is that even possible? His scarf suddenly wrapped around Midoriya's body as he was dragged towards our teacher against his own will. 'Wouldn't want to be you, Midoriya-kun…' I thought.
"Regardless of your intentions, it will end up being that way." Aizawa-sensei said as his glowing bloodshot red eyes glared at Midoriya. "A long time ago, a stiflingly passionate hero became a legend for saving over 1000 people in a disaster. With the same courage, you save 1 person and then become a useless doll afterward." He paused for a second. "Midoriya Izuku, you can't become a hero with your power." He finished out harshly, not even caring about Midoriya's feelings.
'Ouch, that hits a bit close to home, don't you think?' I yelled in my head sarcastically. I looked at Midoriya-kun with worry and curiosity laced in my eyes.
"What's your next move, Midoriya-kun?" I wondered out loud without even noticing it.
Out of the corner of my eyes, I noticed Todo-kun looking at me weirdly as if he was judging me, which likely wasn't far from the truth or perhaps he was looking at me weirdly because I had just done something weird. He then looked back forward as though nothing happened.
'Is he staring at me again or he’s just checking me out, wouldn’t mind the checking out part since it’s undeniable that he's cute or more like hot. Oh, he isn't…’ I realized embarrassedly, ‘My mistake then. Did I do something weird?' I questioned myself.
I don’t think I’ve done anything remotely weird that would make him look at me in a judgemental way. And if I did I hadn't noticed it, maybe because it’s a human thing. Turning my head to face him, I gave him a very confused expression such as raising one of my eyebrows.
"Did I say something wrong?" I questioned him.
"No… You just said something out loud. Did you notice?" He replied
"Not really, I'm sorry if that creeped you out or anything, but I do tend to say things on my mind without noticing it. I hope you don't mind though." I replied back to him as I rubbed the back of my neck and looked away in embarrassment.
"I don't and it's fine, I wasn't weirded out or anything." He said nonchalantly.
"Alright then." I replied 'happily'.
"I guess you asked the right question, though… What is your next move, Midoriya?" He said seriously to which I laughed sheepishly back as a reply.
He raised both of his eyebrows at me, but I wasn't sure whether it was not because he was confused as to why I laughed or because of my weirdness. Although he did do that he no longer made any comment or rude remark back at me, to which I'm really grateful for.
Aizawa-sensei then let go of Midoriya from his weird scarf. Midoriya hung his head low in what I can assume is embarrassment or shame due to what Aizawa-sensei had just said to him. I felt a little guilty for not talking back to Aizawa-sensei for Midoriya-kun. '(Y/n), this isn't your business, so stay out of it!' I practically yelled in my head to stop myself.
"I returned your quirk to you. You can throw once more. Finish it already." Aizawa-sensei stated as he began to walk away.
Midoriya-kun got in place and stretched a bit. Looking forward in inspiration then back down for desperation. 'I can only now wish him the best of luck, he’ll need it.’
"It seems like he got lectured." Iida said as he placed his hand on his chin.
'Can he not hear what Aizawa-sensei just said to Midoriya?' I questioned myself. 'Oh! Wait- stupid! Really, how could you forget that you casted a spell, stupid?' I thought harshly towards myself.
Putting both of his hands on his hips, Bakugo began to say, "I'm sure he's expelled."
‘Yeah, right. Whatever floats your boat, Bakubitch.’ I thought to myself silently
A/N:
The Scouring Charm (Scourgify) is a cleaning charm primarily used for washing objects. It is also effective for cleaning out smaller infestations of bundimun. This spell is documented in the third chapter of the *Book of Spells* by Miranda Goshawk.
The Hearing Charm (Audiculto) was a charm used to listen in on people's conversations from afar. It was a more recently developed charm made by Hermione Granger when she was 48 in the year 2027. This spell is however banned in some countries and including certain areas of a country. {A spell I made up}
The Silencing Charm (Silencio), was an enchantment designed to temporarily deprive the victim of the ability to speak. This magical technique, effective on both creatures and individuals, presented considerable complexity in execution, particularly when applied to ravens as opposed to frogs. Notably intricate, the charm's misapplication could lead to unintended consequences, such as the target swelling to a colossal size and emitting extraordinarily loud noises.
The Muffliato Charm (Muffliato) is a spell used to fill the ears of anyone in the vicinity of the caster with an unidentifiable buzzing sound. This effect allows for conversations to be held without being overheard, similar to the Imperturbable Charm.
