Chapter 12 - Quirk Apprehension Test

'So he's here too. Interesting, he doesn't seem to have a Quirk the last time I saw him.' Sukuna mused as he took glances at a green haired boy with freckles, currently blushing furiously in front of an auburn haired girl whose face looks like the super adorable Kirby.

'A late bloomer maybe? But that should be impossible, almost all cases of late bloomers are kids at the age of 4.' He shook his head, maybe that boy was just an extremely rare case.

"What's up with that guy." Kirishima mumbled, pointing at the dark blue haired boy wearing glasses, currently berating Bakugo for having his feet on the table.

"Can you shut the fuck up?! I can sit however I want damnit! Did I hurt your feelings with the way I sit or something?!" Bakugo shouted, not calm at the slightest. The blue haired boy seemed taken aback at the outburst, wondering how he got into the program with that atrocious behavior.

"This is going to be a long three years..." Denki grumbled, already planning to purchase noise cancelling headphones. Mina rolled her eyes at the fight as she set her bag down at a desk next to Sukuna's.

"Well at least the three years won't be boring." Mina smiled, trying to be positive. Sukuna shrugged, sitting down while the shouting match continued.

"We should really separate them though. That Bakugo guy really looks like he's about to throw a punch." Kirishima commented. Sukuna stares at the arguing duo and sighed, standing up and approaching them as the red head followed.

Bakugo glanced as Sukuna before scowling at him. "The hell do you want?!" He hated the way Sukuna glanced at him with that uncaring gaze of his, like he considers him as nothing but an extra.

"Shut up before sensei gives us all detention." Sukuna motioned his head towards the door, as the whole class immediately glanced at it. An awkward silence quickly filled the room, as they were all staring at a man covered by a yellow sleeping bag lying outside of the classroom.

Sukuna could tell their sensei had seen some things, those kinds of people had a special gleam in their eyes. Added with how worn-out he looked, how unkempt his hair and stubble was, and how bloodshot his eyes were, it seems their sensei wasn't the usual pro hero.

He knew who this man was, the Erasure Hero: Eraserhead, also known as Shota Aizawa. Most people in Japan wouldn't know him, him being an underground hero and all, unless they really dig deep in forums or underground websites.

'Well, this is going to be an interesting three years after all.' Sukuna thought back to Mina's words a moment ago while their sensei in question got out of his sleeping bag.

"Huh... not bad. Took you 3 seconds to quiet down." He muttered as he stood in front of them before continuing. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Pleasure meeting you all I guess..." He introduced awkwardly. Aizawa then took out a large briefcase from the inside of his sleeping bag, placing it in front of the teacher's table in front.

With a couple of clicks, the case expanded horizontally, revealing blue PE uniforms with sizes that match each student. "Put these on and meet me at the P.E. Grounds. I'm giving you all fifteen minutes to change at the locker room..." Aizawa stared at them.

"Well what are you brats waiting for? Get changed already."

" Yes sensei!!!"

...

"Bro you are ripped! Those gym sessions are doing wonders!" Kirishima commented as the boys were all changing in the locker room.

"By the way what do you think we're going to the P.E Grounds for?" The red haired wondered. Sukuna put on his shirt silently.

"It's most likely a test." He replied after a while.

"Weird, aren't we supposed to have orientation?" Sukuna looked at a lean black haired boy with elbows having the shape of cylindrical tape dispensers.

"This school let's teachers do whatever they want. They've never followed traditional school methods." He replied. "Besides, I'd rather not beat around the bush and get started." He added. The black haired boy whistled.

"You're Sukuna right? The guy who fought the slime villain? Saw a bunch of clips of it." Sukuna sighed, not really wanting to be known for that incident.

"Who's asking?"

"Name's Hanta Sero." Sero reached out his fist at Sukuna who stared at it. He didn't understand why people were being so friendly with him. This never happened in middle school. Was it because he fought the slime villain, or were they just sucking up to him because he was powerful and didn't want to be on his bad side?

Sukuna lightly bumped fists with Sero, before silently walking out of the locker room. Sero looked at him before at Kirishima. "Strange guy isn't he? I thought he didn't know what fist bump was a for a second there." He commented. Kirishima shrugged.

"He's bad with people, his social skills is practically zero." Kirishima explained bluntly.

"Doesn't take a genius to figure that out, but still, is it just me or does he look like he's carrying a big burden on his shoulders? He's got that look in his eyes ya know?"

"I don't know man... Genuinely have no idea what's going on in his head sometimes..."

...

'A Quirk Apprehension test huh...' Sukuna thought to himself as they all gathered at the grounds. Aizawa didn't waste time and started explaining.

"You all will be conducting a series of fitness tests. There will be eight tests in total, I'm sure you all know them already. The 50 meter dash, softball pitch, standing long jump, grip strength test, repeated side steps, long distance run, seated toe-touch, and sit ups." He rubbed his neck as he continued.

"I'm sure you've been taking standardized tests most of your lives, but you never got to use your Quirks in physical exams before. The country's still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day, the Ministry of Education will learn..." He mumbled.

Most of the class became uncomfortable with the monologue, Bakugo and Sukuna remained indifferent, one wanting to show off while the other just wanted to get it over with.

"Sukuna, you managed to get the most points on the entrance exam. Take this and throw it as far as you can using your Quirk. And remember..." Aizawa lightly threw the softball at Sukuna who lazily caught it, stepping into the pitching circle.

"This is a test, use everything you have. I can tell when one is holding back, so don't go hiding your strength with me, we don't do that stuff here." Aizawa warned.

"Wasn't planning to anyways..." Sukuna muttered as he exhaled a little. Black markings spread across his body as everyone watched, some in horror and awe at the strange transformation.

"Woah..." Mina whispered as she watched Sukuna's second pair of eyes open under his original ones. The pink hair boy entered a stance before he threw the ball as hard as he could, the throw creating a shockwave sending dust everywhere.

'It broke the sound barrier...' Aizawa thought to himself, staring at the device in his hand that measured the speed of the softball.

"Well, it's a new record alright..." He mumbled, showing Sukuna and the class the distance of the ball. 1.5 kilometers. The class gasped while Sukuna remained indifferent, staring at the device with an unreasonable expression.

"Man this is kinda fun!"

"Yeah we get to use our quirks! How cool is that?!"

Sukuna blinked as he heard his classmates' cheerful chattering. He took a glance at Aizawa and knew they were in for a scolding. For this specific moment, Sukuna was glad he knew how to think before speaking.

"Having fun eh? So you brats were planning to have fun in UA in three years after all, huh?" He grinned creepily at them, raising his long hair that covered his face.

"New rule, the student who gets last in this test gets expelled." The students gasped in horror, save for a black haired girl to which Sukuna noticed from his peripheral vision.

The green haired boy looked like he was about to faint. Sukuna smirked to himself as he walked back to them, while Aizawa was enjoying their reactions before scaring them with one more sentence.

"Welcome to UA's Department of Heroics..."
