"In the end, there is no greater motivation than revenge."

I ended up running semi-late to my first day, I sped walk on my way to UA while having my AirPods blasting all the way.

When I saw the unusually large door of 1-A I turned down my AirPods that were playing 'Imma kill u'. When I finally got to the door I saw Midoriya and a girl with really pink cheeks talking to him blocking the door.

I tried to ask them to move so I can get inside the classroom but the girl kept rambling loudly, my monotone voice was drowned out as I just tried to sit down.

"Excuse-"
"What do you think we're doing?"
"Pardon me-"
"Is there anything more than orientation?"

Slightly frustrated I was about to raise my voice before I heard a familiar tired voice from below me. I turned around and was greeted by Aizawa in a sleeping bag.

"If you're here to make friends you can leave now."

Noticing the previously chatting duo quiet I take my opening.

"Can you please move now? I want to sit down."

The girl and Midoriya look even more shocked finally noticing I was there before both scoots the side as I take the out-of-place desk in the back behind an elegant-looking girl with a ponytail, who offers me a kind nod, which I return.

I notice Aizawa walk in as my music changes to 'To catch a predator', and I switch from both AirPods to just my left one.

"It took you all 8 seconds to be quiet, time is precious rational students would recognize that."

I swear his eyes flash at me for a second when he spoke about 'rational students', but logically no one here is rational the job we all want is extremely tiring and dangerous, but high risk is high reward.

"Alright now put these on and head outside."
Aizawa says as he holds up what looks like gym uniforms.

"I'm probably gonna burn for this!🎶"

"A quirk test?!"

The whole class yells while me and a couple of others don't speak or change emotion, The test is probably to prove something to Eraser mostly likely if we deserve to be here.

"What about orientation?!" The pink-cheeked girl shouts.

"If you want to make it big you can't waste time on trivial things." Aizawa coldly responds.

"Here at UA were not traditional, I run my classroom the way I want."

He continued on about something with the country and quirks I zoned out so I didn't fully listen until me and another kid's name was mentioned.

"Y/n, Bakugou. You both scored 1st and 2nd on the entrance exams. What was your farthest throw in junior high?"

"67 meters I think."

Everyone except Bakugou and Aizawa looks shocked, like I said before I've always been athletic. Bakugou just looks pissed.

"Perfect, now do that but with your quirks"

Bakugou insisted on going first as he stands in the circle waiting for Aizawa to give him the go-ahead.

"Anything goes just stay in the circle."

"Alright."

He yells as he throws the ball with a huge boom landing somewhere around 700 I didn't pay attention.

"Now Y/n you go."

"Please call me Ryuk."

I respond as I give him a knowing look and walk toward the circle as he nods at me. I hear Bakugou talking about how I won't do as well as him or something like that.

I tune him out and focus on gathering a ton of energy from the injuries I collected earlier. I was almost late due to getting in some last-minute energy.

I barely put any actual effort into my actual throw, the physical strength I got from the injuries not needing any extra effort, I throw the ball lazily and it goes flying, I close my eyes and gather any leftover power and store it in my chest for later.

Aizawa holds up my score and the machine speaks.

'1067 METERS'

"It's the most logical way to figure out your potential."

'I did well like usual.'

"Woah! 1000 meters are you kidding me?!

"That looks like fun!"

I can hear Bakugou yelling over the others praise with something about dumb luck, I tune him out before Aizawa shuts everybody up by speaking in a more stern darker tone.

"So this looks like fun?... You have 3 years to become a hero, you think it's going to be all fun and games?"

A creepy smile appears on his face as I whisper to myself.

"Hopefully my classmates aren't this energetic this whole year, I don't like loud people."
I don't believe Aizawa heard me and if he did he chose to ignore it and continue with the same creepy, sadistic smile.

"Idiots. Today you will take 8 different quirk tests to gauge your potential, the person who scores last is expelled."

That weirdly reminded me of that one American competition show my mom watches.

'What was it? Ruth Paul's down race? that doesn't sound right. Whatever.'

I notice their panicked faces as I move from the circle I was still standing in to stand with the rest of them, not looking the slightest bit panicked. He was bluffing obviously, he is just trying to make us work harder, and give us a very aggressive push in the right direction.

Aizawa gets another crazed look as he moves his hair.

"As I said, I run this classroom. If that's a problem you can go home right now."

Some look more determined after that 'pep talk' and some look more nervous. I stay neutral and decide not to call his bluff it is an effective and not that harmful lie. I hear Uraraka speak up again.

"You can't send one of us home! We just got here, and even if it wasn't the first day that's not fair!"

'god please just leave it alone, he isn't gonna change his mind'

"Oh? And you think natural disasters are fair? Or power-hungry villains?"

I couldn't help but think of when he saved me and my mom when he mentioned villains.

"The world is full of unfairness, it's a hero's job to combat that. If you wanna be a pro you have to push yourself, for the next 3 years, UA will throw hardships at you. So go beyond plus ultra style."

'That was very inspiring I'll give him that. But he needs to stop doing that finger motion it looks creepy.'

"Show me it's no mistake you're here"

I feel his eyes staring practically into my soul and I stare right back face unchanging like usual, the whole class looks shocked and determination falls over all of them.

"One more thing before we finish, since we're uneven, you'll be doing some tests alone as number 21, Ryuk" Aizawa says quickly back to normal.

I can sense Uraraka about to speak but I give her a blank look quickly and look back at the tired teacher and nod.

The first test was a simple 50-meter run test, I didn't pay attention to the other classmates all I noticed was the Iida kid was extremely fast, I also hear Aizawa make some comments under his breath.

'I can just enhance my physical strength on most of these my crows don't seem like they will be much help right now'

I ended up doing the 50 meters alone and second, I didn't lean down not wanting to get my clothes dirty if I can help it.

The machine gives me the go-ahead as I use my now-enhanced physical strength to get 3.47 seconds. After I finish I go stand semi-close to Aizawa and text my mom waiting for the others to finish, Aizawa's eyes flash at me before focusing on the other students.

My scores for the rest of the tests were impressive for the others but not for myself.

Grip test: 612 KG

Standing long jump: Successful

Repeated side steps: 86

Ball throw: 1067 meters

The Midoriya kid walks up to the circle and stands at the circle looking dazed as I stand right behind Aizawa.

'Here it comes.'

Aizawa's scarf and hair stand up.

"I erased your quirk. The judges were not rational enough, you shouldn't be here"

'There it is'

"What do you mean- Wait! Those goggles I know you! You're the Erasure Hero: EraserHead!"

'Did they not know that before? Makes sense Aizawa is underground'

"You're not ready. Waiting for someone to save you?"

Aizawa continues to insult Midoriya as his hair and scarf fall he goes back to standing in front of me about to put in eye drops before I stop him as Midoriya is thinking.

"Wait, Mr.Aizawa"

He pauses looking at me eye drop bottle still in his hand. I use my index finger to lightly touch his shoulder absorbing the pain in his eyes, Aizawa's eyes slightly widen and then blink to process the returned moisture in his eyes.

"Don't do that without warning."

"Sorry, sir."

We both look at Midoriya and watch as he throws the ball, and sends it flying shockingly only breaking his finger with a score of 705.

"Mr.Aizawa- You see Im still standing!"

"This kid-"

Aizawa's unstable look reappears on his face.

I bring up my fingers to my eyes and check on my crow sitting on the roof looking over us that I sent earlier.

'All might is here? Also, I should probably move Bakugou looks pissed.'

Just in time, I step to the side slightly pushing Aizawa with me as we narrowly dodge Bakugou running at Midoriya like a wild bull.

"Deku you, bastard! tell me how you did that!"

Midoriya looked terrified before Aizawa's scarf holds Bakugou back.

"Why is your scarf so damn strong?"

"Because it's a capture weapon made out of special metal fibers. Stand down. I don't like using my quirk this much, it gives me serious dry eye."

Bakugou stands angry in place and Midoriya runs back to Uraraka.

I follow Aizawa as he walks off, once he turns around and acknowledges me I can tell he already knows what I'm about to request. I lift my hand and tilt my head slightly with my average blank look, He nods and I absorb the pain.

"You've grown a lot since you were a kid, you got a new quirk too."

"Thank you."

We had a couple more tests after Midoriya's ball throw I watched him in the corner of my eye as he fights the pain, on the opposite end the tests were rather easy for me, Bakugou seems to take my success as a challenge and angrily tries to get better scores then me. I'm not sure if he did I don't care.

Midoriya collapses on the ground as Aizawa pulls up the ranks. I ended up getting first as Bakugou angrily glares at me.

"Also I was lying, no one is leaving"

the whole class looks shocked while me and the girl who got second Momo look blankly at them.

"I thought you guys knew that, sorry I should've said something"

"Same here, apologies but it seemed obvious"

The class looks annoyed at us as I hear Aizawa call me and Midoriya's names.

"Y/n take some of Midoriya's pain away, lessen recovery girl's workload."

I nod and approach Midoriya and put our hands palm to palm, since this was way bigger then just Aizawa's dry eyes I need to focus more. I close my eyes to focus and fail to notice Midoriya's blushing face and Aizawa's interested look as I used my second quirk.

I absorbed all the pain and opened my eyes to disconnect our hands, seeing the now correctly colored finger still bent weirdly despite the pain being gone.

"You should probably still go to the nurse. When it comes to physical injuries they are harder to completely get rid of then for example a cold."

I pause and examine Midoriya's hand, I know a lot about health for my quirk.

"I only got rid of the pain and put together back some of the bone but not all, it's not a clean break so it's rather difficult. Apologies I wish I could do more."

"No, it's fine! Thank you, your quirk is so cool!"

before I can reply Aizawa hands Midoriya a nurse office note.

I was about to head straight home after heading back to the classroom to pick up my things and change my clothes, but as I pick up my backpack and hear a rustling sound inside I remember what my mom requested I do for her.

"Ryuk if you have the time, can you please give this to Eraserhead?"

I turn to look at her and see a black gift bag with yellow tissue paper.

"Sure. What's in it?"

"Nothing special but just some snacks and such, stuff that is liked by the general public so hopefully he will at least like one thing."

She pauses before continuing.

"Oh, and also a thank you note, not only for saving us and also for teaching you!"

I sigh as I remember, and take the rest gift bag out of my backpack as I leave the classroom rather quickly leaving behind my chatting classmates all back into their uniforms including me.

"Crow vision."

I pause in the empty hallway to see what my crow was seeing. It looks like they are in a tree already staring at Aizawa who is currently chatting with All might.

All might starts scolding Aizawa on the way he treated Midoriya and his lying to the class, I honestly don't care for what they think of his potential. I put down my fingers from my eye and run to where I saw Aizawa, When I get to the corner I see him rounding it.

I dig my heels into the ground and slow down, Aizawa looks at me expectedly as I stop in front of him and lift up the bag when he processes that the bag is for him he quirks an eyebrow.

"Uhm- it's from my mom, we have wanted to say thank you for a while but we never could find you."

-aizawa shouta pov-

Despite the kid's blank expression, his body language tells me he is slightly embarrassed by the kind gesture.

I take the gift bag from his hands and notice the yellow tissue paper matches my goggles.

"Well tell her I said thank you. How are you guys now? You two doing okay?"

I don't know why I'm asking it really is none of my business. Ryuk's body language changes to surprise and then relaxes answering me.

"Yeah we're doing good, as you can tell I got another quirk"

"It's a useful one, you have potential kid. Thanks again now go home your mom is probably waiting."

He nods and jogs away waving with that blank look that seems permanent on his face. As I wave back and look back at the bag I can't help but remember my conversation with All might a couple of minutes ago.

"It almost seems like you've been in his corner the whole time," I say watching All might falter before replying.

"Well, you seem to have favoritism to young Onimaru!"

Without thinking I reply with something that probably didn't help my case.

"He prefers to be called Ryuk."

"See! You do prefer him!"

I cringe at myself in my head still looking at the bag.

'He's wrong. I don't do favorites, he just has potential.'

I continue to walk back into the building failing to notice All might looking over the corner and watching the whole interaction.

writing is probably why my sleeping schedule is so bad 😨
