MHA: A Cat's Way

Ch 31 Quirk Assessment Test

"But what about orientation? We're gonna miss it!" Uraraka's protests are promptly shot down by Aizawa's words.

"If you really want to make it in the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies. At UA we aren't tethered by traditions. Which means that I can run my class how I see fit."

I raise my hand before he can continue. "Can we start already, nya? I was looking forward to taking a nyap during orientation."

He looks irritated by my interruption, before his eyes slightly widen at the realization that he could have caught up on some sleep if he decided to do the test the next day. It's too late for that now though.

"Fine." He holds out a ball towards me. "Since you got first place in the entrance exam, you can start us off. Throw the ball as far as you can. You can use your quirk as long as you don't step out of the circle. Don't hold anything back."

I grab the ball and step into the circle as I listen to Bakuhoe's screams of rage at me scoring higher than him in the exam. I think for a moment on how I want to do this before smirking.

Summoning a brawler cat, I hand it the ball and order it to keep going forward. It runs off and I lay on the ground facing the sky with my eyes closed. There's silence for a few moments before Aizawa speaks.

"Catia, what do you think you're doing?" His irritated tone makes its way into my ears, but I know he's just jealous.

"Well, my cats nya for two hours, so I'm gonna nyap until it finishes." I reply without opening my eyes.

"...You aren't allowed to sleep. If I have to be awake, so do you."

I shrug. "Who says you knead to be awake while we wait?" There's silence again. I stretch my ears as I listen to the murmuring of my classmates. It's a mix of 'is she serious?' and 'are we really going to wait two hours for her quirk to run out?'.

Eventually, Aizawa sighs. "Since this failed to make my point- Bakugou, you're up to throw since you placed second in the entrance exam. Catia, up and out."

Groaning my annoyance out for the world to hear, I reluctantly do as he says. Though I do smirk at the angry look Bakuhoe has as we walk past each other, and I can't help but tease him a bit.

"One point, and you could have been first, nya~. If only you had helped somebody, you would have beaten me, nya~."

I can hear his teeth grinding as he steps into the circle, causing me to chuckle and Midorinya to give me an exasperated look. With a look of rage on his face, he launches the ball into the air with his signature phrase. "DIE!"

Seeing how far it goes, I can't help but whistle in admiration. "It's really impressive that nya school is so big. His throw didn't even get it off nya field. Meanwhile my cat is getting close to nya fence and still going strong."

Ooh~. I could have sworn I heard a crack from how hard he's grinding his teeth.

"All of you need to know your maximum capabilities. The board of education prevents this by not allowing you to use your quirks for your junior high tests." He shows everyone that the ball went seven hundred and five meters. "This will allow me to determine your potential to be pro heroes."

Everyone gets excited at the prospect of using their quirks for the tests, and Mina even says that it's going to be fun. Seeing Aizawa smirk, I sigh. Welp. She messed up.

"Idiots." Everyone is taken aback by the sudden insult, but he continues before they can defend themselves. "We'll be doing eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none, and will be expelled immediately"
