My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire
Entry: First Day at UA
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSelene, Celestia, and Izuku were able to finish their last year of middle school without too much happening, save for Katsuki being annoyed that he wouldn't be the only one attending UA, even if he was more annoyed that Izuku had gotten into the hero school as well. Of course there was information that needed to be filled out and sent back to UA, in the form of some of the pages that came from UA when the letter arrived, but the sisters had done so without wasting too much time and even helped Izuku a little before sending in the forms. Inko was both overjoyed by their success, all three of them, and surprised by her son's sudden display of a Quirk, especially since she had trusted the doctor and assumed he had been right, and this did cause her to take him back to double check the results. Selene found that Garaki made up an excuse that one of his old trainees had switched up the scans of Izuku's foot with someone else's, and he never caught it until now since both feet had been so similar, before confirming that her son had a Quirk.
Of course Selene knew that the other slide was a fake, Izuku had been born with a Quirk and when her father took it from him they had to make a fake x-ray to deceive the rest of the family, but she said nothing as they went about their days, just finishing school and getting ready for the big day.
When it came time for them to start their first year of high school, in UA no less, the siblings emerged from their rooms with the official school uniform on, each tailored to match their bodies as they discovered, which consisted of a long-sleeved white shirt and a gray blazer with blue-green stripes on the collar and helms of the sleeves. Both the boys and the girls had to wear a red tie with those items, though the boys were required to wear blue-green pants and the girls had to wear a dark blue-green pleated skirt, and the ties for the girls had a golden button on them. The other thing they discovered was that the shoulders of their uniforms had golden buttons on them, and the papers informed all three of them that a single button on each shoulder meant Hero Course, two was for Support Course, General Studies had two with a gap between them, and then three meant Management Course. Since their buttons were the same that all but confirmed that they were in the Hero Course, something that put a smile on Inko's face as she snapped a picture of them, since she was so proud of them, and as soon as the siblings were ready to go they left for their first day at UA.
Selene knew that there were a lot of kids that were chosen to join UA, not just the forty-two that were chosen to be in the Hero Course, an unusual number since usually it was twenty per class for two classes, but she and Celestia had altered that trend, allowing their class, 1-A, to have more than normal.
Upon arriving at UA, this time as actual students who were let in thanks to their identification cards, the siblings followed a map to where 1-A was located, finding that the inside of the school itself was definitely big and that it would be easy for some to get lost on their first day. Fortunately, and unfortunately at the same time, they were able to find their destination by following Katsuki's loud voice, where they found him sitting in 1-A while he was chatting with the boy who wanted to chew out Izuku during the moments leading up to the exam. What they discovered was that the boy with glasses was Tenya Iida, from Soumei Junior High, an elite school based on what the sisters knew, and that piece of information caused Katsuki to tell him that he had another reason to 'end him', even if he meant a reason to show Tenya up. When Selene and Celestia walked into the room they found that all eyes were on them, not that they were surprised since both of them were now legends, the two unique kids who had multiple Quirks, and some of the others were no doubt wondering if the tales were true.
Selene looked at the other students, finding the boy with the navel laser was present, there was a girl with pink skin and two horns on her head, a girl whose face reminded her of a frog, a ordinary looking boy with a tail, and two boys with different hair styles, one light lightning or electricity while the other was red and spiked. Following them was a shy boy whose head looked like a rock, a buff boy with a puffy mouth that didn't seem normal, a tall boy who was clearly a mutant based on his odd wings and his mouth covering, and then there was a girl who had plug-like earphone jacks hanging from her ears. There was a boy who looked like his elbows were totally different from everyone else, no doubt connected to his Quirk, a boy who had a bird's head and beak, all black she noted, and then a floating female uniform, meaning it was an invisibility Quirk, one she approved of. She then turned her attention to the rest of the class, which included a short boy with grape-shaped hair, someone she felt the urge to punch for some reason, a fierce looking and well endowed girl who seemed confident in her intelligence, the gravity girl who was now talking to Izuku, and a boy whose hair was half white and half red, with a nasty burn mark over his left eye.
Judging from her first glances Selene suspected that most of them had subpar Quirks, save for the invisible girl, gravity girl, and the white-red haired boy, but she said nothing as she and Celestia took their seats at the back of the room, leaving the rest of the class to just watch them for a time.
"If you kids are going to be hunting for buddies, do it elsewhere... not here, in the Department of Heroics." a voice said, to which everyone turned towards the open door and found a saggy black haired man, with a slim build, sleeping in a sleeping bag, and it looked like he pulled out a juice bag, much like a blood bag, and drank it dry in a few seconds, before he got up and started to pull himself out of the bag, "I am Shota Aizawa, your homeroom teacher. You'll find a box behind the podium, full of uniforms... put them on and then shove off for the P.E. Grounds, as we'll be having a Quirk Apprehension Test."
The students found a number of packages inside the bag, each labeled with their names on them, meaning they were made to match their bodies, and they were identical, dark blue pants and a dark blue shirt, both have white lines that formed 'UA' on the shirt and just stripes down the legs, and it didn't take them long to change in the locker rooms.
"Good, you guys are on time. Now, I know some of you might be more focused on the opening ceremony and speaking to the counselor meeting, but we heroes don't have time for such niceties." Aizawa stated, as both Selene and Celestia had decided to call him by his last name, it just sounded far better, and from what they could see he was bringing them to where a number of tests had been set up before the start of the school day, before he glanced at them, "I'm sure all of you are aware of the school's reputation for freedom on campus... well, that freedom extended to us senseis as well. For this test all of you will be focusing on the softball pitch, standing long jump, 50 meter dash, endurance running, grip strength test, sustained sideways jumping, upper body exercises, and seated toe-touches. You know these activities from your middle schools, but were told to never use your Quirks since they would ruin the results... this is due to the country not getting around to standardizing those sorts of things, due to the negligence of MEXT. Today, you will be using your Quirks during all of these exercises... Katsuki, how far could you throw a softball in middle school?"
Katsuki replied that he had pitched about 67 meters without his Quirk, where Aizawa told him that he could do anything he wanted as long as he didn't step out of the circle that he had the boy stand in, and it wasn't long before Katsuki pulled his arm back before hurling the ball with an explosion happening behind it, sending it flying.
"Before we do anything else, one must be aware of what they are capable of... think of this as the basics for your foundations as heroes." Aizawa replied, where he turned the device in his hand towards them and showed them that it had recorded the new score that Katsuki had set, at least for himself, which was 705.2 meters, something that caused the rest of the class to realize that he was being truthful, they were now allowed to use their Quirks at long last, before he looked at them like he was about to bring doom to all of them, "Oh, and just in case you were planning on this being a pleasure cruise for the next three years, allow me to make one thing clear: the student who ranks the lowest, in terms of total score, at the end of this test will be deemed 'worthless' and will be expelled immediately."
"What about tank flank and shitty kitty?" Katsuki asked, gesturing to the sisters for a moment, who were the only ones that weren't even remotely shocked or surprised by this turn of events, because in his eyes this was a valid concern, this rule only applied to him and the other nineteen, since there was no way UA could realistically expel the sisters.
"My 'freedom' as your sensei means I can expel ANYONE... if they don't perform, and fall below everyone else, then I'll expel them. It's just that simple." Aizawa stated, showing everyone that he didn't care if they had special treatment or not, he was planning on expelling anyone who fell below his standards, even if such a thing might cause some confusion in the public.
With the baton passed, to use Present Mic's words from the exam, Aizawa paired the students into groups of two for the first of the eight tests he wanted them to take, letting a robot keep track of when they started and when they passed the finish line, allowing them to see how they did with their Quirks. That was far too easy for both Selene and Celestia, thanks to the fact that they were able to utilize their transformation Quirks, because they were able to utilize their hybrid forms and rush down the 50 meters like it was literally nothing. It also gave Selene a chance to see a number of the other Quirks in action, such as gravity girl making her clothing weight less, Tenya's legs, which had engines in them, allowed him to speed across the path, and Katsuki used his explosions to propel himself forward. Even the navel laser boy understood the challenge, he used his Quirk to get a decent score, where the others started to follow suit and either used their Quirks to help them run, or their Quirks were worthless for this test and their teacher made a note of their abilities.
The next test was the grip strength, where they were given devices to grip with their hands, and while the mutant student had a massively impressive score of 540 kilograms, both Selene and Celestia scored far beyond even him, the former being at about 715 and the latter being over a thousand.
"Dude, dragons are monsters." the grape haired boy remarked, not that he was doubting Selene's abilities either, especially since Aizawa had her use both of her Quirks in unison to achieve her own monstrous score, but Celestia's dragon Quirk was beyond reasonable in his eyes, before he looked at Selene, "Hey, can you really turn into a tiger?"
"Yeah, why?" Selene asked, taking on her feral form for a few seconds, surprising the others with how easy it was for her to do such a thing, something that was followed by the grape haired boy remarking that this was 'hot' as the pink skinned girl smacked him, which she suspected was going to be a trend throughout their days in UA.
The standing long jump, the third test, was simple as well, both Selene and Celestia could utilize their transformation Quirks and achieved grand scores, to the point that the other students realized that they weren't even in danger at all, they were simply wrecking the challenges that were being thrown at them. Izuku, of course, was suffering greatly, because while he had definitely improved thanks to the training he had undergone for the entry exam, causing his scores to become better, he was unable to actually use his Quirk, out of fear that he would shatter his arm again. The sideways jumps were easy for the sisters as well, even though this time around the grape haired boy just set up two piles of round orbs that he pulled from his hair and bounced between them until he was out of time, only for him to be surprised when he ranked below the sisters in this one as well. Of course the only one that didn't seem impressed was Aizawa himself, he looked like he had given up on almost everything in life and just didn't care, but the students still did their best to make sure they weren't the lowest one when the time came.
Eventually they reached the pitch test and gravity girl posted a score that would be impossible to best, an infinity, though she was followed by Izuku, who was mentally fuming over the fact that he hadn't scored a single good score, and when he tried to use his Quirk they found that it didn't activate, much to his instant confusion.
"I erased your Quirk, because it defies reason... especially when someone like you got into this course." Aizawa remarked, to which he undid the cloth that was around his neck and they found that he had some special goggles that could be placed on his face, while his eyes glowed red and his hair seemed to stand up to indicate that his Quirk had been activated, and he even manipulated his cloth to ensnare Izuku, "Your Quirk, you can't reign in your full power and that means you can use it effectively at all... did you honestly believe that someone would come to your aid if you crippled yourself again? As you can see, no one is rushing to save you... you know, you remind me of an insufferable hero who made a name for himself by saving over a thousand people from a disaster, all by himself. You have his brute strength and courage, but so far all you've managed to do is run around like a blockhead who needs saving... your 'power', Izuku Midoriya, won't help you become a hero."
In the following seconds he let go of Izuku and deactivated his Quirk, allowing Izuku to use his own again, but that was when he pulled his hand back, waited until the very last second, and then released his full power in the tip of his pointer finger as he said 'Smash', sending the ball flying while ruining only his finger, and this time he was still standing. Katsuki, of course, had a massive problem with this since it was the first time he had seen Izuku using his Quirk, and when he got over it he just rushed Izuku, causing Selene and Celestia, in their hybrid forms, to pin him to the ground, before Aizawa could use his cloth to restrain him. That impressed their teacher more than he was willing to admit, both girls had moved faster than he thought possible for them, almost like they used magic or something, and yet their presence managed to calm down Katsuki down so he could return to the line, even if he was annoyed with Izuku. Following that Aizawa had Selene step up, which was around the time that he had her utilize both Quirks, so she had to throw it with Hydra, throw another ball with Tiger, and then use both at the same time, allowing her to set a number of impressive scores that surpassed Katsuki's.
After Selene it was Celestia's turn, who scored an impressive score with her Dragon Quirk, though when Aizawa had her use Sunshine, a Quirk that should have been an impossibility, he discovered something that rocked him to his core, when he tried to erase it Celestia continued to channel the power of the sun into a small orb above her right palm.
"I thought the rumors were exaggerating... I had no idea this Quirk was even real." one of the other students said, which was the boy with red hair, who Selene noted hadn't really used his power outside the strength grip test, though at the same time he huffed as he found that many of them were sweating a little, and not from the tests, "It really does allow her to wield the power of the sun."
Celestia pulled her arm back, focused her sun orb into a booster of sorts, and hurled the ball, allowing the orb to act more like the tail of a fireball as it flew off into the air for a moment, and when it landed she was able to get a score beyond what Katsuki scored, much to his annoyance.
"Unfortunately, I cannot use both Quirks at the same time." Celestia said, knowing that Aizawa was going to ask her to use both of her Quirks in unison, so she knew it was best to just nip that problem in the bulb, before it was even mentioned, to which their teacher just raised an eyebrow for a moment, "I'm not making excuses. I am literally unable to use both Dragon and Sunshine at the same time."
"Yeah, tank flank's not lying, she's never been able to use the two together... not like how shitty kitty's able to use Tiger and Hydra at the same time." Katsuki remarked, as he didn't like either of the sisters, not after everything they did to stop him from putting Deku in his place, but neither of them were liars and he wanted Aizawa to know that Ceelstia didn't have the ability to use the two powerful Quirks at the same time.
Aizawa said nothing to that and got everyone started on the last of the tests, where he found that while many had scores that were better than when they were in middle school, allowing them to understand where they stood, everyone was far below Selene and Celestia. The sisters were absolute monsters, their scores were simply beyond what he was expecting for a new student, causing him to think back to the rumor among the teachers that both had been trained by a Pro Hero, and if that was true they were already beyond everyone here. In the end he found that everyone else gave the tests their all, even Izuku despite the pain his finger was in, and with the completion of the eighth test he gathered them up before using his test device to display all of their names so they knew where they stood. Of course as everyone found Selene and Celestia at the top of the list, the latter still above the former, he revealed that he had lied to them with a rational lie to draw out their best performances, something a few students agreed with, before he handed Izuku a slip to go see Recovery Girl.
Selene and Celestia relaxed a little as they made sure to take their brother to the nurse's office, though both of them were shocked and amazed by how their first day at UA had started and it only made them all the more interested in seeing what the future had in store for them, their brother, and the rest of their class.
