A My Hero Academia Fanfiction: Age of Heroes Chapter 4 The Quirk Assessment Test by RVasil

The Quirk Assessment Test

Kinus mentally prepared himself for the ordeal they were going to go through. His heart raced in his chest as he did some stretches under the shade of a nearby tree. Aizawa had allowed them a five minute break to think things over and give them a chance to prepare for the eight exercises they were going to do. Eight tests that would determine if they had the right to stay or leave. This was the last thing Kinus expected when he woke up this morning. He expected class orientation, student introductions, getting to know the school and one another, that sort of thing. But no. He had this as his primary introduction to U.A.

The dragon smiled as he stretched his arms.

If there was one thing he was pleased about, it was that U.A. definitely had a way of keeping things exciting.

The sound of someone muttering under their breath prompted Kinus to stop. The low voice was coming from Midoriya, and it seemed he was wrapped in deep thought. He had his hand on his chin and from the way he was staring at the ground, looked like he was trying to decipher the message hidden in the brown soil of the field. Releasing a sigh, Kinus walked over to him. "Hey," he called out. There was no response. It would seem that Midoriya was wrapped in his own bubble, muttering things Kinus couldn't wrap his head around. It was something about not breaking an egg in a microwave? Why was he thinking about breakfast at a time like this?

"Hey," he said, with a bit more force and placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. That seemingly got through to Midoriya, his trance like state fading away. "Are you okay?"

He did a half smile, half grimace at him. "I guess?" he answered, though he sounded like he was unsure of his own response. "I'm just nervous."

"Clearly," Kinus commented. "You were muttering to yourself." The dragon's brow rose. "Something about an egg?"

Midoriya chuckled and scratched his own head. "Nevermind that. Just a sort of mental exercise for me, is all." Kinus remained unconvinced. It looked like whatever the egg, microwave thing was, it meant something more to Midoriya than he let on from the way he muttered about it. "How about you?" Midoriya asked. "Nervous?"

Kinus nodded, taking another deep breath. "I never did well in physical fitness tests." Seeing the puzzled expression on Midoriya's face prompted him to clarify, saying, "I mean, I guess I'm okay. But up against others who have quirks that can actually help and accentuate their talents? Yeah..."

"But wouldn't your Quirk be helpful then? Being a dragon and all that," Midoriya genuinely asked.

"I'm hoping that it is."

A whistle came across the field, prompting everyone to go to the first event that Aizawa had set up. It was the 50 meter dash. It seemed that two runners would be running side by side, and a robot was stationed at the far end that would measure their time when they cross the finish line. "You are free to do whatever you think is necessary to cross the finish line," he explained to them, "if you attack the person you're racing with, your points will be deducted. Heroes don't attack other heroes, got it?"

"Yes, sir."

"Good." He tapped the tablet in his hand. "Oh and one last thing. Your performances on each of the tests would be compared to your previous ones back at junior high as that would help you determine if you had any improvements. Now..." he briefly looked at the group. "Asui, Iida, you two are up."

Tsuyu Asui, as Kinus recognized her, was one of his classmates who happened to have the Quirk of Frog. She had long dark hair that neatly tied itself to a bow on her back. She had wide eyes with distinctive lower eyelashes and she walked with a bit of a hunch. She and Iida got into position and everyone watched intently.

"Who do you think's going to win?" Ashido asked curiously.

"Iida, probably," Sero answered. "Have you seen that guy's legs? He's built for this sort of thing."

Kinus directed his eyes towards Iida's legs and only then noticed the pieces of metal that were sticking out of his legs. It reminded Kinus of a car exhaust.

"Do your best, Iida!" Uraraka shouted, cheering from the sidelines.

The dragon smiled. Even though the mood was rather dour, Uraraka's positivity didn't relent. Admittedly, her preppy demeanor helped him calm down a little. Just a little.

The machine sprung to life. "On your marks...get set...go!"

Both Asui and Iida rocketed off towards the opposite end of the track, in their own definition of 'rocketing'. Iida's legs propelled him full force, running faster than anyone Kinus had ever seen before. Asui on the other hand jumped high into the sky, using her strong frog legs to give her forward aerial momentum. When it was all said and done, Iida finished with a blazing 3.04 seconds and Asui with a modest 5.58 seconds.

"Next!" Aizawa called out. "Ojiro, Uraraka, on the plate."

As the students did as they were told, Kinus used this chance to give himself some more time to focus. His Quirk allowed him to manipulate liquids and do whatever he wanted with it, but that wasn't really going to help him in this current situation. All he had to rely one was his pure physical brawns and muscle.

"Todoroki! Hazani! On the plate!"

Hearing his name get called made the dragon jump. He allowed himself a moment to take a breath, before walking up to the plate. He passed by Midoriya and the boy offered him a thumbs up, although Kinus knew that with the way Midoriya was sweating, the boy needed it more than he did. The dragon looked forward and saw who he was up against. One look at Shoto Todoroki immediately reminded Kinus of Tokoyami. At least, with the whole calm and collected vibe. He had an eye catching hair color that was evenly split between white on the right side and red on the left. There was a distinct burn mark on his left eye that Kinus made a point not to stare at.

Getting into position, Kinus focused heavily at the goal at the end of the track. The best plan he could think of was to just run. Run like the wind and hope for the best that his speed would have been enough to carry him forward. Maybe those afternoon runs that he did every chance he could get would pay off. That wasn't exactly the most creative solution, but given the circumstances, that's all he could do.

"On your mark..." Both he and Todoroki got into position, bracing their legs for a kickoff. "Get set..." Kinus nervously stiffened and relaxed his tail muscle, raising his waist at the same time. "Go!"

Kinus blasted off as fast as he could, running down the track in a mad sprint. The sounds of excited gasps drew his attention however, and he spared a glance to see what was going on. He was taken by surprise upon seeing Todoroki literally skating across frozen ground. With every other step he took, he froze a portion of the ground ahead of him, basically letting him slide swiftly forward. Todoroki quickly sped past him and Kinus barely had enough time to jump as the ground he was running on froze into solid ice.

Time slowed at that moment as Kinus was in midair.. The ground in front of him was beginning to freeze and if he ran, he'd run the risk of slipping and that was not something he wanted to deal with. That was when it clicked. Kinus realized he could use this to his advantage. As he landed straight back on the ground he followed after Todoroki's lead, forming ice skates at the bottom of his rubber shoes to help him move faster.

"4.8 seconds!"

Todoroki stopped upon reaching the finish line, the frozen ground underneath him beginning to melt under the baking sun. He looked visibly surprised however upon seeing Kinus sliding across the frozen floor. The dragon dove forward as the ice underneath him ran out, and practically rolled across the finish line.

"5 seconds!"

The dragon was left panting on the floor, trying to catch his breath and steady himself. Aizawa walked over to the both of them. "Now what did I just say about attacking other fellow students?" he asked Todoroki rhetorically. "I understand you didn't mean to do it though. Besides, Hazani seemed to managed. In fact I feel like I should give him points for being able to adapt on the fly." The teacher allowed himself a small smile. He turned to Todoroki and said, "Just don't do it again, alright?"

"Yes sir," Todoroki answered, letting Kinus hear him speak for the first time.

Aizawa nodded, and promptly turned around. "Bakugo! Midoriya! You two are up!"

A figure blocked the shining sun from Kinus's view. "Sorry," Todoroki said, extending a hand towards him.

Kinus briefly glanced at the hand before grabbing it and allowing Todoroki to help him up. "It's fine," he answered, giving the boy a friendly smile.

Todoroki stared flatly at him and nodded, turning around to head back to the group. Kinus stared at Todoroki's back before shaking his head. "Man of a few words..." he mumbled. The dragon eventually followed behind Todoroki and joined the group of students who were anxiously awaiting their turns to get called up. Midoriya and Bakugo just finished and unsurprisingly, Midoriya lagged behind.

Kinus found himself walking back to join Tokoyami and the bird acknowledged his presence. "And here you were worried."

"Oh hush."

The next test on the lineup was grip strength. They were tasked to move inside to the gymnasium and squeeze the measuring grips as hard as they could with their hand. Kinus slid his hand absentmindedly into the slot and eyed everybody else. Everyone's faces were seemingly contorting to different expressions of exertion as they all gripped as hard as they could. Bakugo was at one side and he was squeezing so hard it looked like one of his veins was going to pop.

Kirishima was right next to him and was coaxing him to take it easy. "Dude, you're going to get an aneurysm with the way you're going!"

Bakugo glared at his companion. "Shut up!"

The dragon turned back to the grip measure he was holding. "Here goes nothing!" One hefty squeeze later and the machine showed his strength at around 150kgs. The dragon shrugged. That was passable at best, unremarkable in the grander scheme of things. Being a dragon gave Kinus more than normal human strength, but compared to other dragons, that was average. A dejected sigh grabbed Kinus's attention and he turned around to see Midoriya staring at his grip measure.

"Everything alright?"

The boy just offered a weak smile in response.

It was obvious that this was beginning to mentally frustrate Midoriya and the pressure of expulsion hanging above their heads didn't help matters either. "I'm sure you can pull through this one, Midoriya," he said, in an attempt to cheer his friend up.

"Thanks, Hazani."

As Midoriya headed back to Aizawa to report to him his grip strength result, Kinus was joined by Iida and Uraraka who were just finishing up on their grip strength tests.

"How did he do?" Uraraka asked, concern clear in her tone.

Kinus shook his head. "I think it's starting to get to Midoriya, Uraraka."

Iida shook his head. "This is bad. If things keep going the way they are, Midoriya is definitely going to end up in the bottom."

"Why isn't he using his Quirk?" Kinus blurted out. "Wouldn't that help him in the tests?"

Iida and Uraraka both felt silent, unable to meet Kinus's eyes. "While that would greatly help him, I don't think it would be for the best."

"Why's that?" Kinus asked.

"Do you not know?"

Kinus shook his head. "I honestly don't know what Midoriya's Quirk is. He never told me."

"It's strong!" Uraraka chimed in. "But..." her expression shifted to that of worry. "Using it would break Midoriya's body."

"What?!" Kinus turned around to look at Midoriya who was telling Aizawa his test result. "What kind of Quirk is that? That sounds like torture."

"I don't know, but that's what we saw during the entrance exam," Iida added.

The rests of the tests continued afterward. The standing long jump was hard and arduous but Kinus managed to pull through. Getting the extra push from his dragon legs, he jumped up high into the sky and landed at the far end of the dirt. Tokoyami followed after him and launched himself higher and further with the help of Dark Shadow pushing the both of them off the ground. Their distances easily earned them a high enough spot to not worry about being in the bottom.

Kinus watched a few minutes later to see Midoriya struggling to barely even get past the robot tester. The dragon grit his teeth. He glanced at Aizawa and saw a somewhat sadistic smirk coming from the man. It became clear to him then that the teacher was obviously singling out Midoriya. Why though, Kinus didn't know, but it angered him either way. He didn't like it when the strong pick on the weak, especially if it was a friend of his.

The repeated side steps proved to be a challenge for Kinus when it was his turn to do it, given that his large physique wasn't really designed to go back and forth in quick succession. It easily outbalanced him, even making him topple to the ground after a fair bit of doing so. But the dragon got up, brushing the dirt off his shoulders. You win some, you lose some, he told himself. Besides, he was far more concerned for his friend, Midoriya who was clearly sweating bullets as time ticked on. They were already halfway through the tests and Midoriya was coming in either second to the last, or at dead last and that wasn't really earning him any favors.

The ball throw test came and everyone's jaws dropped to the floor upon seeing the result of Uraraka's trial.

"INFINITY?! That's amazing!" Kaminari cried out, speaking what was on everyone's mind.

"How in the world did she do that?" Kinus asked, looking at Iida who was the only one who didn't seem remotely fazed at the feat Uraraka just performed right before their eyes.

"Her Quirk is Zero Gravity," he answered plainly.

Kinus glanced back at Uraraka who was walking back to them, happy as can be. He shook his head, smiling wryly. "That was so perfect for her, it almost feels like cheating."

Iida allowed himself a small smile in regards to his comment. "How about you?" he asked, turning to face the dragon. "Confident in getting a good score?"

Kinus glanced back at the plate. He wasn't a stranger to throwing stuff, that's for sure. "I guess? I mean, I'm used to throwing my dragonic lance around but I never really measured how far it goes."

"You should have this easy, Hazani," Tokoyami said, standing next to him.

"You think so?"

"I've seen you throw stuff," he answered. "You can definitely throw stuff."

"Is that how you passed the entrance exam, Hazani?" Iida asked him.

"I suppose. That's how I primarily fight."

"How heavy is that lance of yours anyway?" Tokoyami asked curiously.

Kinus thought for a moment, but found himself coming up blank. "I...don't know." He chuckled at his confusion. "I genuinely don't know. I never measured."

"Midoriya!" Aizawa shouted, grabbing everyone's attention. "On the plate."

At that moment, the atmosphere amongst the class seemingly dipped as everyone watched with bated breath as to what Midoriya was going to do. It was clear that he was the one lagging behind in the class in terms of the result and if he wasn't going pull something out now, he was going to get eliminated. Kinus bit his lip, hoping nothing but the best for his friend.

"It doesn't look good for Midoriya if he continues like this," Iida said.

"Huh?" Bakugo chimed in, sounding arrogant as ever. "Of course not! He's a Quirkless loser, you know."

Quirkless? Both he and Iida turned their faces to look at Bakugo who seemed adamant in what he was saying is true. Iida then said, "What? Are you not aware of what he did in the practical exam?"

"Yeah," Kinus added, "the guy's in the top 10. He earned that spot."

Bakugo only responded with an angry growl before looking back at Midoriya with that deathly glare of his. Kinus turned his head and looked as well, wanting to see what Midoriya was going to do. Admittedly, he had never seen Midoriya use his Quirk, so he was genuinely curious as to how it actually performed.

And then Midoriya did it. With fierce, burning determination etched across his face, Midoriya swung his hands and threw the ball with all his might, only for it to land a measly few feet away from him.

"46 meters," the robotic voiced called out.

Midoriya looked pale. Eyes wide and confused, he was looking at his right hand and said, "B-but I was definitely trying to use it now..."

"I erased your Quirk."

Kinus turned his head and let out a gasp of surprise upon seeing Aizawa's eyes glowing an eerie red. The bandages around his neck were floating, along with his hair as he stared straight on at Midoriya. A distinct style of yellow goggles were resting on Aizawa's neck.

"The entrance exam was definitely not rational enough. Even a kid like you was accepted."

"You erased my Quirk?" Midoriya asked. He then gasped, upon recognizing who exactly Aizawa was. "You can erase other people's Quirks with your Quirk just by looking at them! The Erasure Hero: Eraser Head!"

Kinus cocked his head to the side. Others were voicing their own confusion.

"I've heard about him," said one of the students. "He's an underground hero. He's not well known because he doesn't interact with the media."

Kinus nodded understandingly. "Because it would hinder his work?"

"Exactly."

Kinus looked back at Aizawa who remained stern as ever. No wonder he was so strict. He was a hero through and through and didn't mess around for the sake of enjoyment. He didn't do it for the fame, the glory or whatever. He did it because he wanted to, and he was channeling that drive to his students and wanted to understand that being a hero shouldn't be taken lightly.

"From what I can tell, you can't control your Quirk, can you?" Aizawa asked. "Do you intend to become incapacitated again and have someone save you?"

"That's not my intention--"

Before Midoriya could finish talking, Aizawa's bandages sprang forward, wrapping itself around the boy's waist. He was pulled closer and the two began to converse between one another, out of earshot from the rest of the class. From what Kinus could tell from the look of frustration, mixed with determination and anger, whatever Aizawa was saying was touching a sensitive nerve on Midoriya.

Eventually however, Aizawa pulled back and released Midoriya, leaving everyone to wonder what exactly went between them. "I've returned your Quirk. You have two turns left." He began to walk away, saying, "Hurry up and get it over with."

Midoriya began to walk back towards the circle, and Kinus could only watch as the boy was left looking conflicted. From what Kinus was told, Midoriya's Quirk allowed him to do remarkable things, something he could really use right now to be able to succeed in this test. However, the tradeoff was that it would leave his body broken. If Midoriya were to use it... Kinus gritted his teeth. Midoriya would have succeeded in winning the battle, but he would inevitably lose the war.

He felt a hand on his shoulder. It was from Tokoyami. "You alright?"

Kinus released the breath he wasn't aware he was holding. "I'm fine." He turned back to look at Midoriya who looked like he had come to terms at what he must do.

Then Midoriya went for it. He swung his arm once more, and everyone watched, wondering what was going to happen.

An explosive gust of air travelled across the field as the shockwave of Midoriya's throw smashed the ball upwards high into the sky. It was so strong that Kinus had to take a step back or else be blown backwards entirely.

"705.3 meters," the robot voice came from Aizawa's phone.

"Mr. Aizawa," Midoriya said, turning back to look at Aizawa who was equally stunned at the display. "I'm still standing!"

Everyone broke into a cheer, the suffocating feeling of dread and worry seemingly dissipating in the blink of an eye. It was replaced with relief and happiness, as it was clear that everyone was cheering for Midoriya to succeed. Well, almost everyone anyway.

"HEY! DEKU YOU BASTARD! TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT OR YOU'RE DEAD!" Bakugo cried out, exploding into a fit of fire and fury, charging straight at Midoriya.

Before anyone could even react, bandages flew straight at Bakugo stopping him in his tracks entirely. Kinus marvelled at Aizawa's specially made bandages. They truly were an equipment made for a pro hero. "Jeez, stop making me use my Quirk over and over," Aizawa said, obviously annoyed. "I have dry eye, you know." The bandages then dropped, freeing Bakugo from his position. "Next person to go, get moving. I want to get this over with already."

Midoriya clearly made it a point to give Bakugo wider space as he made his way towards the class once more. He had his right hand cradled gently, a pained smile on his face.

"Is your finger all right?" Uraraka asked.

"Oh! Y-yeah," Midoriya answered, still reeling from the sudden turn of events.

"That was amazing, Midoriya!" Kinus exclaimed, walking over to him. "And here you were keeping your Quirk a secret from me," he tapped him on the back, to which made Midoriya stagger slightly. "Oh, sorry!"

The boy just laughed. "It's fine."

The remaining tests soon followed after in a quick blur as Midoriya's success seemingly gave everyone renewed energy. But even then, the continuous physical exertion was beginning to take its toll on everyone. Kinus felt his exhaustion beginning to catch up to him by the time he was done with the situps.

"Hazani, you alright?" Ojiro asked upon seeing him sit upright.

Kinus sighed and gave the boy a thumbs up. "I'm okay. Just exhausted."

The two switched and before long Kinus was holding down Ojiro's feet as the boy began to do the sit ups. The dragon watched from the distance as Midoriya was doing the same, though clearly looking worse than everyone else. It was a stark contrast against Ojiro who looked like he hadn't broken a sweat.

"You don't look tired," Kinus commented as Ojiro was nearing his twenty mark, "do you do this often?"

"You could...say that..." Ojiro answered in between rises. "My Quirk isn't really all that exciting, so I have to make do with what I have."

The dragon glanced at the boy's bushy tail. It was comparatively far larger than his. "Well you're doing a better job than I am, that's for sure," Kinus remarked, "I hope you don't mind, but I was actually thinking of asking you for some tips."

Ojiro stopped his sit ups, completing forty in total. "On what?"

Kinus looked a bit sheepish. "Tail usage." He raised his tail up to show it to Ojiro to emphasize his point.

"Tail usage?" came a voice from beside them. The two boys turned their heads to see Mineta looking at them with a certain glint his eyes. "I've seen that before..." his tone of voice made the nonexistent hair on Kinus's scales rise. Both he and Ojiro visibly reeled slightly.

"Yeah..." Kinus said, turning back to Ojiro. "Like I was saying."

Ojiro smiled at him. "Sure." Ojiro raised his own tail up. He grinned. "Shake on it?"

Kinus coiled his tail around Ojiro's own and the two shared a tail handshake to seal the deal.

After the situps, the seated toe touches soon followed. The dragon had his work cut out for him as he felt his entire body strain in an effort to be flexible. Thankfully, it was over as soon as it started and before long, they were on the final test which was the long distance run. However, by then the sun was already up high into the sky and the long distance run became more so a test of surviving against the baking heat as they ran laps around the field. This ultimately pushed Kinus to the limits of his physical capabilities.

"Nearly...there..." he said, practically dragging his feet on the ground at that point. What lap were they on anyway? The third? Or was it the fifth? He had lost count a few steps ago. He glanced around him and could see everyone looking exhausted, save for Momo and Todoroki who were surprisingly keeping up with Iida who was running at a much more relaxed speed. He felt a presence beside him and noted that it was Tokoyami. The bird was beginning to show signs of exhaustion, but it was clear that he could still push through. Either way, Tokoyami still carried himself with that air of coolness.

By the time Kinus reached the finish line, his eyesight was beginning to blur.

"Hazani, are you..."

Tokoyami wasn't even able to finish that sentence as the dragon toppled to the ground. A few of the students gasped upon seeing Kinus fall like a sack of potatoes. "Water..." Kinus croaked. "I need water. Please!"

"Mr. Aizawa!"

Seemingly coming prepared, Aizawa ran towards the side and a few moments later, came back with a bottle of water. He tossed it over to Tokoyami who caught it and handed it to Kinus who looked a dying fish, suffocating in the dry air. The dragon opened the bottle desperately before chugging it down. Almost immediately, the familiar healthy blue hue of his dragon scales began to appear once more. Kinus took a deep breath, as if breathing air for the first time again.

The dragon sat upright. "Thank you...thank you..."

Tokoyami placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and helped him stand. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine...I'm okay now..." The dragon wiped the sweat off the top of his head. "I don't do well against strong heat. I easily get dehydrated."

Tokoyami tapped him on the back and the two made their way back to Aizawa who was now compiling the results. The teacher produced his phone once more and tapped it. "Okay, I'll quickly tell you the results. The total is simply the marks you got from each test. It's a waste of time to explain each result individually so I'll show you all of the results at once." With a tap of a button, the holographic screen materialized and listed all their names in the rankings they ended up in.

Kinus read through the list of names. Momo and Todoroki were at the top, followed by Bakugo, Iida and then Tokoyami. "Wow..." he muttered under his breath, glancing at the bird who was no doubt pleased with his performance. Kinus read through them again and eventually found his ranking, which was at eleventh place. The dragon smiled wryly. "Eleven seem so to be my number..." His rank at the practical was that too. But as his eyes continued downwards, the dread crept in and materialized fully upon seeing Midoriya's name...in dead last.

The hologram disappeared and before the piece of devastating news could sink in, Aizawa then said, "And I was lying. No one's going home."

Kinus blinked.

Aizawa's usual dreary, tired expression shifted momentarily to that of a smiling man as he continued, "It was a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all in the tests."

Everyone was equally floored by the sudden turn of events. That was a plot twist no one had expected. Kinus spared a glance to look at Midoriya who looked like he was white as a piece of paper.

"I'm surprised you guys didn't figure it out," Momo said, "Sorry. I probably should have said something."

"I nearly died out there!" Kinus cried out, finding his voice once more. He glanced at Tokoyami who was stoic as always, eyes closed. "You knew?!"

"You didn't?"

"You could have told me!"

"You didn't ask." The bird turned his head to face him. "Besides, I thought you would have been smart enough to figure it out."

Kinus's eye twitched in frustration. He was happy that things worked out for the better but that didn't mean he was pleased for being played like a fiddle.

The bird's stern expression softened. "Relax, I was just teasing. I figured it out half way through. I didn't want to tell you however, since you looked so determined to give it your all."

Kinus just shook his head. "Whatever. All's well that ends well I suppose."

"That's it, we're done for the day." Aizawa then began to walk away. "Your syllabuses are in the classroom. Read it over for tomorrow morning." The teacher then approached Midoriya and handed him a nurse's slip to get his finger patched up.

As everyone began to head back to the lockers, Kinus was left feeling quite pleased that everything ended the way it did. He got to associate and integrate himself into the class quite easily, much to his surprise. Everyone was so nice and welcoming, it honestly felt refreshing. He also got to see the competition in a way. Everyone was good and strong in their own right, it showed Kinus one very important thing.

He still had a lot to learn and improve upon.
