My Avatar is the Heroine

"Quirk Aptitude Test?"

"You all should have done this in junior high, right—a practical test with Quirks banned... Well, the top scorer in the Practical Test was Bakugo, wasn't it? How far could you throw a ball back then?"

"Tch." Bakugo shot a cold glance at Su Lin and answered, "67 meters."

"Then try it again with your Quirk." Shota Aizawa said flatly.

Beside him, Su Lin, who had been glared at, twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering how he'd managed to provoke this hot-tempered guy.

Katsuki Bakugo took the ball, stepped to the center of the circle, yelled "Die," and with an explosion, launched the ball into the sky.

"706 meters."

Aizawa aimed his device at the group.

Su Lin furrowed his brow slightly. He felt this number was a bit higher than in the anime.

Sure enough, his presence had already altered the course of events, but the impact was minor—something he could accept.

"706 meters, no way." The classmates below were stunned by that level of power.

"What's going on? This looks fun." The pink-haired Mina Ashido clapped happily.

"We can use our Quirks freely—no wonder it's the Hero Course."

"Looks fun... does it?" Aizawa's tone suddenly turned grim. "Is this the attitude you all plan to carry through these three years you'll spend becoming heroes?"

"Good." A smile curled onto his face. "I'll deem the person who comes in last across the eight events as having no potential and expel them."

"Huh?!" The students gasped in shock.

"As expected."

Su Lin watched all this without surprise. Aizawa had thrown down the gauntlet in the very first class, giving everyone a good scare.

pS: Turns out I'm allergic to the medicine. Blisters keep popping up all over my body, and I'm completely dumbfounded right now.

About those blisters...

I'm a little desperate. My whole body is covered in blisters and bumps—basically disfigured at this point, 2333...

I thought it was just a regular fever and infection, but after the first blister appeared, more showed up this morning. Then I went to the hospital and found out it's chickenpox. I was totally stunned—getting chickenpox at this age?

And before I even got home from the hospital, my face was already full.

At the hospital, my fever had dropped to 37.5°C, but since then, my body has turned into something that would trigger trypophobia (I think I've got a severe case). It itches so much I can't focus, emmmm... I'm trying to write the next chapter, but I've only got 500 words so far. I probably won't make today's deadline, and even if I do, the quality will be terrible.

Low-grade fever hovering around 37.5°C, with dizziness and headaches, but that's not too bad. The itching though, emmm... from my scalp to my ankles, even my fingers have little red dots—it's unbearable.

At first, I thought it wouldn't be that bad. I saw posts on forums and figured I wouldn't end up this miserable, but it turns out I was wrong (despair face). PS: Don't go looking at the pictures on those forums.

They say it's worse for adults... I'll take their word for it.

At first, I thought the blisters looked kind of pretty and translucent, but now...

Tomorrow there'll be even more. I'm not sure I can keep a stable update schedule, but I'll try my best.

Chapter 9: The Clone's Performance

The eight events of the Practical Test were: Ball Throw, Standing Long Jump, 50-Meter Dash, Endurance Run, Grip Strength, Side Steps, Sit-Ups, and Seated Forward Bend. Su Lin knew that his real body was weak; only by relying on his clone could he avoid falling behind the others.

With Yukino, he should be able to score well on some events—after all, her grip strength was close to 200 kilograms. Even if her other abilities were lacking, they wouldn't be that bad. So Su Lin couldn't help but feel confident in his own strength.

Right now, everyone was deeply unsettled by Aizawa's words.

Izuku Midoriya clenched his wrist, seemingly deeply worried about ONE.FOR.ALL.

While Su Lin was pondering whether he should use his X-Hair clone for all the tests, Aizawa shifted his gaze to him.

"Then, the top overall scorer, right? You'll throw the ball now."

"Me?"

Su Lin swallowed hard. Seeing the other hand him a ball, he stepped forward and took it.

Standing inside the throwing circle, Su Lin hesitated for a few seconds, then draped a specially prepared coat over himself and put on a hat that covered everything except his face.

"What's the matter? Ashamed to show yourself?" Aizawa said coldly. "Your Quirk is your own ability. If you're embarrassed by the changes it brings and don't even dare to reveal it, what right do you have to possess it?"

His tone carried a harsh interrogation.

Hearing this, the others all looked at Su Lin with confusion, wondering why Aizawa would say such things. Did his Quirk cause disfigurement or something terrifying when activated, or turn him into some kind of monster?

In response, Su Lin, with his back to everyone, let out a helpless sigh and directly activated his transformation.

Slowly, a head of long black hair extended from under the hat. The legs beneath the coat rapidly slimmed down in everyone's sight, and then the clothes were instantly replaced by a pair of stockings.

"Wait... stockings!"

Izuku Midoriya jerked upright, vaguely sensing a problem.

Once the transformation was complete, Yukino took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and at the same time removed her coat, revealing her current appearance to everyone present.

The school uniform, plaid miniskirt, absolute territory, over-the-knee socks... such a transformation instantly silenced the entire class. Even Katsuki Bakugo wore an expression of doubting his own life.

"This guy..."

Su Lin couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed. She shot an annoyed glance at Shota Aizawa, only to find him still wearing that disappointing expression.

Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya's eyes had gone wide, as if he'd connected Su Lin's current image with that hardworking girl from Seaside Park.

"So it was her..." Midoriya felt genuinely happy for her.

She'd succeeded.

No wonder... after all, she'd worked that hard. If she still couldn't get into U.A., it would've been too unfair.

Su Lin clasped her hands behind her back, swept her gaze across the whole class, and finally let out a somewhat frustrated sigh. Without thinking too much, she silently picked up the softball, ready to put her full strength into the throw.

A grip strength of 160 kilograms didn't mean her arm's pushing power was limited to that. Not to mention that when a person mobilized their entire body's muscles for an instantaneous burst, their capability was far greater than usual. It shouldn't be hard to achieve a better softball score than the average person.

She didn't need to get first in any event. As long as she ensured most tests exceeded the average, she should meet Aizawa's requirements.

"Then..."

She reached out, bent her arm, and let out a light shout.

Such a petite frame, yet in an instant it erupted with astonishing power.

Whoosh—

The softball left her hand in a flash, flew past her line of sight, and landed far in the distance.

"151 meters."

Aizawa glanced at her with slight surprise. During the entrance exam, Yukino's body hadn't performed well—she'd even been knocked down by a mock villain. He'd originally thought Su Lin would use X-Hair's body for the test, but unexpectedly, she'd used Yukino.

"If that's the case, I can't determine her true level."

Aizawa narrowed his eyes, growing more curious about Su Lin's performance. During the entrance exam, every teacher had clearly seen X-Hair's combat ability. In contrast, Yukino, as the records showed, was better at studying. Who would've thought her physical fitness wasn't too bad?

"This guy..."

Giving her one last deep look, Aizawa turned to the whole class and said, "Alright, the demonstration ends here. Next up is the official test. Take a five-minute break, then we'll do the 50-Meter Dash."

"Yes!" At these words, everyone shouted in unison, their eyes showing determination.

Those who made it to U.A. were all elites picked from ten thousand. None of them thought they'd be eliminated on the first day of school.

At that moment, Su Lin returned to her group, feeling a bit awkward under everyone's gaze.

Midoriya, standing beside her, looked somewhat embarrassed, while Tsuyu Asui on her right pressed a finger to her lips with a puzzled expression.

"Kero?"

Su Lin met Asui's eyes for half a second, about to strike up a conversation, when suddenly an extremely annoying voice came from behind her:

"Oh ho ho, that tempting figure, that slender waist, that skirt begging for attention, those long white legs... drool's about to flow..."

Turning her head, she sure enough saw a short guy barely over a meter tall staring at her with lecherous eyes.

Minoru Mineta. His Quirk was Pop Off from his forehead. U.A. Class A's most perverted student, a guy who seemed born for lust, with nothing but women on his mind.

Confirming it was him, Su Lin's veins bulged instantly. She turned, stepped forward, and kicked out with a bang: "Scram."

"Agh—"

The Grape let out a scream and tumbled over ten meters away.

"Nice kick. That guy's way too much." Kyoka Jiro, who'd long been disgusted with the little creep, felt a secret thrill.

"Little Su Lin, is this your original appearance?" Back in position, Tsuyu Asui turned her head and asked quietly.

"No, this is my Quirk state right now." Su Lin replied.

"Got it." Asui nodded, not planning to press further. She knew some questions weren't suitable for answers unless Su Lin was willing to speak up.

Still, no one had expected a Quirk could turn a boy into such a beautiful girl.

PS: One chapter for now, two chapters after this.

Chapter 10: Test Ends

The official test began. First up was the 50-Meter Dash.

Thanks to Yukino's light frame, she ran very easily. Not to mention her weight was under 100 jin. Relying on leg strength exceeding 200 kilograms, purely using her physical power, she clocked in at 5.02 seconds.

That already hit the class average.

"This guy..." All Might, hiding nearby and secretly observing, shifted his gaze from Izuku Midoriya to Su Lin. "So that training wasn't meaningless. She paid a price far beyond ordinary people's hardships to achieve this result. I hope Midoriya boy can perform well too."

Second event: Grip Strength.

"Let's give it a try."

Taking the grip strength meter, Su Lin held her breath and squeezed with all her might.

The number on the device shot up rapidly, breaking 100 in a blink, and finally settled at 164.

164 kilograms.

"As expected, this is Yukino's current strength now."

She had fully acquired physical capabilities completely mismatched with her outward appearance. An ordinary person who trained to a grip strength of over a hundred kilograms would inevitably be covered in muscle, but Yukino still maintained her original figure.

The third event, Standing Long Jump.

Su Lin jumped a result of 4.6 meters, slightly worse than the previous few events.

Then came Side Steps, hopping sideways back and forth between two lines—so this event was entirely a joke, wasn't it? What meaning was there in hopping around like this?

As for the events that followed, especially ones like Seated Forward Bend, there was absolutely no pressure. Yukino's flexibility was so incredible that she bent directly to the maximum arc, earning first place in this event.

And Izuku Midoriya, who should have performed poorly, had his Quirk nullified by Shota Aizawa the moment he used ONE.FOR.ALL to throw the ball, and was promptly scolded.

"Your ability may be strong, but it destroys your own arms. Do you expect others to save you when you become unable to move?"

"This approach of harming yourself to injure the enemy will never make you a hero."

Under such verbal provocation, Izuku Midoriya eventually concentrated ONE.FOR.ALL's power into his finger, successfully throwing the ball over 700 meters without suffering serious injury.

"Well, I guess that's the protagonist for you." Su Lin had nothing to say about it.

Midoriya's personality could create miracles at any moment—perhaps it was precisely this quality that made All Might choose him.

But clearly, the Quirk Izuku Midoriya displayed greatly displeased Katsuki Bakugo. He charged out on the spot, wanting to confront Midoriya, only to be restrained by Aizawa using his special binding cloth and scolded in turn.

The test continued as usual.

When all the events were finished, Shota Aizawa yawned and said lazily to everyone, "Now then, I'll announce the results. The total score is simple—just the sum of each event's points. Explaining them one by one verbally would be a waste of time, so I'll put them all up together."

As Aizawa pressed the projector, everyone's rankings appeared in midair.

Su Lin immediately found himself in 10th place, which basically matched his expectations. And Izuku Midoriya, as predicted, ranked dead last.

Thinking of what Aizawa had said, he clenched his fists, his face pale, seemingly unable to accept the fate of being expelled.

A few seconds later, Aizawa calmly turned off the device.
