" speaking "

Scaramouche PoV :

" What! A quirk assessment test!? " the majority of the class said. " But the orientation! We're gonna miss it! " the brunette said. " If you wanna make it into the big leads, you're not gonna waste time on useless ceremonies. " Aizawa responded back. ( I'd rather do this than listen to some boring speech anyway. ) I thought truthfully. " Here at U.A , We don't do normal traditions. That means we'll do whatever I see fit. " He said in a bored tone.

" Takami- " But before he could continue I cut him off " Scaramouche is fine sir. " . He simply shrugged " Scaramouche, you scored first in the practical exams, What was you're farthest softball throw in junior high? " he asks me. " I was homeschooled, sir. " people looked at me weirdly, probably cause of how I was able to get into U.A being homeschooled.

" Anything goes, just stay in the circle. " he says while handing me a softball. " Use your quirk. " he informed me, as well as taking a step back. I took a deep breath, I then threw the ball with a hint of lightning hoping to make it faster. The machine in his hand beeped, then proceeded to show the class my result. 678.2 meters was shown.

" You all need to know the maxim abilities of your quirk, it's the most rational way of becoming a hero. " he said. " Woah! " . That looks like fun ! " . " That's what I'm talking about! Using our quirks as much as we want! " several people blurted.

" So this looks fun huh? You have three years to become a hero. You think it's all gonna be games and play time? Idiots.. — You'll have 8 physical tests to test your potential and who ever places last will be deemed with no potential , and will be expelled. " Aizawa sucks the excitement out like a vacuum. " HAH!?!? " They all yelled out. Except me, I know I'll be safe.

" But that's so unfair! " Ochako said " D- " Aizawa was about to say something, but I again cut him off. " You think the world will be fair? Power hungry villains everyday. Natural disasters wiping out entire cities. World problems, you think that's fair? Us heroes are supposed to overcome that unfairness by not being better, but by being fairer. If you can't get that in your head, then you might as well quit. " ( ew. Why'd I even say that— ) I thought already rethinking my life choices. " ( Spoken like a true pro hero! ) They all thought in admiration. Except bakugou, todoroki and Tokoyami.

I finished all the tests with a slightly above the average score, but it then came down to the last test. The softball test. Which I had already done, and also everyone else — except for the grass kid. Or as I have learned, Midoriya. Now it's his turn to throw. I doubt he'll even make it though, and even if he did, he would still be last place. Therefore, expelled.

He goes up and throws his ball which only goes up to about 50 meters. " Hey what gives.. I was trying to use it just now.. " he mumbled but we all heard. We all look over to Aizawa to see his hair floating all around the place and his gaze staring at midoriya's soul.

" I erased your quirk. The judges for this exam, were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be aloud to enroll in this school. " ( oo.. brutal man. ) I thought slightly wincing at the harsh comment given to the greenette.

But apparently, the greenette didn't care that he was humiliated and just started needing out when he figured out who it was lecturing him.

" Those goggles.. I know you! You can look at someone and cancel out their powers, Erasure hero : EraserHead! "

" huh, eraserhead? Who's that? " some of the class 1-A said. " Pfft- " I tried to contain my laugh at the pathetic name. " You're not ready. You have no control over you're power. We're you planning to break your bones again? Counting on someone to save your useless body? " it was uncalled for yet it was what he needed to hear. " T-that's not what I was trying to do!" He tried to explain himself but was ignored by his scarf pulling him in " No matter what you're intentions are , you're nothing more than a liability in battle. " he said bluntly and truthfully.

" You have the same reckless passion as another hero I know. Who saved a thousand people by himself and become a legend — But even with that drive, Your worthless if you can only throw one punch before breaking down. Sorry Midoriya, but with your control. There's no way you can become a hero. " he stated. ( ouch. Atleast he said sorry this time. ) I thought, starting to feel bad for the poor boy.

" I've returned your impractical quirk. Take you're final throw. Hurry, and get it over with. " There was a pause, but he still proceeds to throw it which left us all in shock. The ball goes all the way, and high high up. ( Whoa... ) I thought, unexpectedly being impressed. He slowly turns to Aizawa with his broken finger.

" Mister Aizawa.. You see, I'm still standing! " Aizawa formed a really creepy smile, it sent shivers down my spine.. ( This kid... ) he thought in amazement.

Suddenly, some blondie rushed towards midoriya all of a sudden " HEY DEKU, TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT OR YOU'RE DEAD! " ( deku? Wait, then who's midoriya? ) then — very same scarf holds him back " W-why the h-ll is your d-mn scarf so s-strong!? " blondie looks back at Aizawa. " Cause it's a capture weapon made out of woven carbon nanofibres and steel wire alloy. Stand down. You'd be wise to avoid making me use my quirk so much. It gives me serious dry eye. " he explained.

I chuckled at his childish reaction to someone being better than him.

Izu fell over from exhaustion, but that brown haired girl helped him up. " Alright, time to give you your results. " Aizawa said in an unamused tone. " I've ranked you all from best to worst. You should probably have a good understanding of your place already. I'll just pull up the whole list, it isn't worth getting over each individual score." He presses the remote .

I skimmed over the list to find my name in 11th place. ( wow, down right it the middle. I guess I got a bit rusty after that coma. ) I look down to see that greenette kid in last place. ( damn, and after that inspiring scen- )

" and I was lying, no one's going home. " he blurted out.

( what. ) I thought in the coincidence.

" That was just a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all in the tests. " he said smiling. Which again, sent shivers down my spine. " I'm suprised the rest of you didn't figure that out. " I look over to the pony girl. " Sorry, I guess I probably should've said something. "
( Ya. You should have. ) they all thought.

    " That was pretty nerve wracking hah? "

                   " Nah, I'm always up for a challenge! "

" That's it for today, blah blah blah ablah. Blah. " I tuned out for the rest of that boring speech. " Take this and show it to the old lady to fix you up. " he whispered to the greenette next to me. Aizawa proceeds to turn to the rest of the class " Things are gonna be tougher tommorrow when your actual training begins. I'm sure you're prepared. " he then walks away.

I'm sure you'll be prepared Scaramouche.
