Chapter 20 - Quirk Apprehension Test

"The first test is the 50 meter dash, Michael, Iida, get over here."

Michael got ready for the dash along with Iida, both of them at the start line waiting for Aizawa's signal.

"Begin!"

Iida and Michael sped ahead, sprinting as fast they could. However Michael was far in the lead, over three times the speed of Iida. Iida noticed this and realized he had to push himself further, he couldn't leave such an enormous gap between them, not in his specialty, speed. Iida sped up even further than he already had, pushing his quirk further. Michael got a time of 0.89 seconds, while Iida got a time of 2.78 seconds.

"He out-sped Iida, the speed specialist!"

"Doesn't he have the same quirk as his brother? The Pro Hero Ingenium?"

Michael, having noticed Iida's moment of surpassing his own top speed, without his reciprico burst, achieving a higher score than the series, decided to shake his hand right after the test, applauding his effort.

"Iida, I noticed you speeding up towards the end, i'm guessing you got faster, good job."

"Thanks Michael, you out sped me anyways, even though i'm supposed to be the speed specialist." Says Iida self deprecatingly.

"Don't put yourself down like that, you surpassed your own limits, keep doing that and being the best person you can be and you'll be an incredible hero, just like your brother."

"The next test is the grip strength test, grip this machine as strong as you can" says Aizawa

"Sir? Can I please take this test last?"

"Are you trying to get extra resting time? Life isn't fair, Michael, you wouldn't get to ask a villain about taking a short break to rest. Sorry about this but you need to learn this lesson, the earlier the better, you're taking the test first Michael, you took both the earlier tests first as well, everyone has around an equal amount of time to rest between each test."

"But sir-"

"No buts Michael, get over here and do the test."

"Alright, don't say I didn't warn you though."

'Warn me about what? Is he going to- Oh he's going to break the machine!'

But at this point it was already too late to call Michael back, Michael had walked up and squeezed the machine, breaking it.

"I should've known, i'll have someone bring in a replacement"

"Sorry, tried to warn you" Says Michael sheepishly.

The entire class was staring at this point.

"What was that! I didn't know you were packing that much strength! That's so manly!"

"Dang, did he really just break the machine! That machine looks like it's made out of steel!"

"Speaking of steel, his last name's Steele, did he just break his own last name?"

"Shut up Kaminari, that's a terrible pun"

"Sorry not sorry Jiro"

"Next test is the standing long jump, pretty self explanatory, I swear to god if you find some way to break this too Michael i'll make you do ŀȧps while everyone else does the test."

"Sorry, pretty sure I got an infinity on this one." Says Michael, doing stretches in mid air

"You know what I give up, just take your infinity score and get back down here." Says Aizawa

"He can fly too? What even is his quirk? It's overpowered!"

"Why is life so unfair, he's handsome, smart and has a good quirk! No wonder the ladies aren't all over me yet."

"Shut up grape head."

The next test was the sustained side steps, in which 'grape head' excelled. While Michael had gotten second.

"It's time for the pitch, Bakugo, you're exempt from repeating this test. Michael, you're up first."

"Alright-"

"This time don't break anything, I mean it." Interjects Aizawa

"The school does have enough baseballs, for students like Bakugo who end up sending them too far away for it to be a viable option to get the ball back each time. I don't think it's possible for me to realistically ruin the test by just doing it."

"Just do the damn test." sighed Aizawa.

The students, feeling the wind pushing against them from his movements, weren't even shocked anymore, they'd been surprised too many times

When the class ended, Michael had gotten first place, while Izuku had received 11th place.

Mineta "Grape-head" had gotten 20th place.

"Noooooooooooo! I won't be able to get my harem, i'm supposed to be the protagonist, I made it into U.A, the best hero school!"

"I lied" Said Aizawa, Mineta just tripped out of sheer confusion and fell flat on his face while the rest of the class sweat dropped.

"What!? Am I not expelled, please tell me im not expelled, I can't lose my dream!" says Mineta, crying while hanging onto Aizawa's leg.

"I thought you showed some potential, but with how you're currently acting, im not so sure anymore, you got the highest score in the sustained sidesteps test, that means you have potential in at least one aspect."

Mineta, hearing this, quickly let go of Aizawa's leg and stood with the class again.

"It was a rational deception to bring out the most of you, your full potential. Anyways we're done here, your documents are all in the classroom, go pick them up before you leave"

After picking up their documents, the class left the school, each going home in their own groups. Momo caught up to Michael, who walked ahead with Ojiro, once Ojiro realized what was happening, he grinned and made an excuse to leave, patting Michael on his back and whispering "Good luck" before leaving.

"Hey Michael, I haven't been able to talk to you much since the entrance exam, but I wanted to thank you for saving me. I did send you a message on social media yesterday, but you haven't seen it. You probably get hundreds of messages a day, I don't blame you for not being to reply."

"Sorry about that, I do get too many messages to reply as quickly as i'd like, if you want we could exchange numbers, so we can contact each other easier?" Says Michael, blushing slightly.

"Sure" Momo managed to squeak out, she was blushing, she received her idols number, she knew he'd be in her class but she never expected him to pay any attention to her, much less ask for her number.

As they walked out of U.A, they passed a limo, "Sorry Michael, my ride's here, i'll see you at school tomorrow"

"Sure, see you tomorrow Momo"
