"Quirk Aptitude Test?"
"You all should have done this in middle school too, right? A practical test with Quirks prohibited... Well, Bakugo got first place in the Practical Test, didn't he? How far could you throw a softball in middle school?"
"Tch." Bakugo shot Su Lin a cold glance before answering, "67 meters."
"Then try again with your Quirk." Shota Aizawa said flatly.
Su Lin, who had been glared at for no reason, twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering how he had managed to offend that hot-tempered guy.
Katsuki Bakugo held the softball and stepped into the center of the circle. With a shout of "Die!" he blasted the ball into the sky with an explosion.
"706 meters."
Shota Aizawa aimed the device in his hand at everyone.
Su Lin frowned slightly. He felt that number was a little higher than it had been in the anime.
Sure enough, his existence had already altered the course of events. Still, the impact was minor, which he could accept.
"706 meters? Are you kidding me?" The students below had already been stunned by that display of strength.
"What's this? It looks so fun." The pink-skinned Mina Ashido clapped happily.
"We can use our Quirks as much as we want. As expected of the Hero Course."
"It seems fun... does it?" Shota Aizawa's tone suddenly turned sinister. "Is that the attitude you plan to carry through these three years spent training to become heroes?"
"Fine." A smile curled across his face. "Then I'll deem whoever ranks last across the Eight Events to have no potential and expel them."
"Huh???" The students cried out in shock.
"Just as expected."
Su Lin watched it all without surprise. Shota Aizawa had given them a harsh warning on the very first day of class, thoroughly scaring everyone.
PS: I actually had an allergic reaction to medicine. Blisters keep breaking out all over my body, and I'm completely confused right now.
About those blisters.
I'm feeling a little desperate. My entire body is covered in blisters and all kinds of bumps. I'm practically disfigured now, hahaha...
I originally thought it was just an ordinary fever and infection, but after the first blister appeared, a whole bunch more broke out this morning. Then I went to the hospital and found out it was chickenpox. I was completely dumbfounded. Chickenpox at my age?
And before I'd even gotten home from the hospital, my face was already covered in them.
At the hospital, my fever had gone down to 37.5 degrees, but after that, my body turned into something that would trigger trypophobia. I suspect mine is a rather severe case. It's so itchy I can't concentrate, emmmm... I'm currently writing the next chapter, but I've only managed 500 words so far. There's a high chance I won't make it in time today, and even if I do, the quality will probably be unbearable.
My low fever has stayed around 37.5 degrees, along with dizziness and headaches. Those don't seem too serious, but the itching, emmm... From my scalp to my ankles, even my fingers are covered in tiny red spots. It's incredibly irritating.
At first, I thought mine wouldn't be too serious. I saw posts on forums and thought I probably wouldn't end up that miserable, but it really happened. Despairing face. PS: Please don't look up the pictures on those forums.
They say adults get it more severely... I suppose I believe that now.
At first, I thought the blisters looked crystal-clear and pretty, but now...
There'll probably be even more tomorrow. I'm not sure whether I can keep updating steadily, but I'll do my best.
My Avatar's Performance
The eight events in 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 original body was weak, and only by relying on his avatars could he avoid being left behind by the others.
With Yukino, he should be able to achieve decent results in some events. After all, her grip strength was close to 200 kilograms. Even if she performed poorly elsewhere, she could not be that bad. Naturally, Su Lin had confidence in his own abilities.
At that moment, everyone had fallen into deep unease because of Shota Aizawa's words.
Izuku Midoriya clenched his wrist tightly, seemingly filled with concern over ONE.FOR.ALL.
Just as Su Lin was considering whether he should use his X-Hair avatar for every test, Shota Aizawa shifted his gaze toward him.
"Then, the student with the highest overall score. You'll throw the softball now."
"Me?"
Su Lin swallowed. Seeing the other man hold out a softball, he could only step forward and take it.
Standing inside the throwing circle, Su Lin hesitated for several seconds before draping the specially prepared coat over himself and putting on a hat that concealed everything except his face.
"What's wrong? Too ashamed to be seen?" Shota Aizawa spoke coldly. "Your Quirk is your own ability. If you think the changes it brings are shameful and don't even dare to show them in front of others, what right do you have to possess it?"
There was a stern interrogation in his tone.
Hearing that, the others all looked at Su Lin in confusion, wondering why Shota had said such things. Did his Quirk disfigure him when activated? Or turn him into some terrifying monster?
With his back to everyone, Su Lin sighed helplessly and transformed directly.
Slowly, a head of long black hair emerged from beneath his hat. The legs under his robe rapidly became slender before everyone's eyes, and in an instant, his clothes were replaced by a pair of stockings.
"Wait... stockings!"
Izuku Midoriya abruptly straightened up, vaguely sensing something was off.
Once the transformation was complete, Yukino took a deep breath, slowly turned around, and removed her coat, revealing her appearance to everyone.
The school uniform, the plaid miniskirt, the absolute territory, the thigh-high socks... That transformation instantly silenced the entire class. Even Katsuki Bakugo wore an expression as though his world had been shattered.
"This guy..."
Su Lin could not help feeling a little embarrassed. She shot Shota Aizawa an annoyed glance, only to find he still wore that same buzz-killing expression.
Meanwhile, Izuku Midoriya had widened his eyes, seemingly connecting Su Lin's current appearance to that hardworking girl from Seaside Park.
"So it was her..." Midoriya felt genuinely happy for her.
She had made it.
No wonder... She had worked so hard. If she still had not gotten into U.A., that would have been far too unfair to her.
Su Lin clasped her hands behind her back and swept her gaze across the class. In the end, she sighed somewhat dejectedly. Without overthinking it, she silently picked up the softball and prepared to throw it with all her strength.
A grip strength of 160 kilograms did not mean her arms could only generate that much force. Not to mention that when someone mobilized all their muscles and exploded with power in an instant, they were far stronger than usual. It should not be difficult to throw a softball farther than an ordinary person.
She did not need first place in every event. As long as she ensured that most of her results exceeded the average, she should meet Shota Aizawa's requirements.
"Then..."
She extended her hand, bent her arm, and let out a soft shout.
Despite such a petite body, astonishing power erupted from her in an instant.
Whoosh—
The softball flew from her hand, shot into the distance, and landed far beyond the edge of her vision.
"151 meters."
Shota Aizawa gave her a somewhat surprised look. During the entrance exam, Yukino's body had not performed very well. She had even been knocked to the ground by a Fake Enemy. He had originally thought Su Lin would use X-Hair's body for the test, but he had not expected him to use Yukino instead.
"If it's like this, I can't determine her true level."
Shota Aizawa narrowed his eyes slightly, growing increasingly curious about Su Lin's performance. During the entrance exam, every teacher had clearly seen X-Hair's combat ability. In comparison, Yukino had been just as her file described: better at studying. Who would have thought her physical abilities were not that bad either?
"This guy..."
After giving her one last deep look, Shota Aizawa turned to the whole class. "All right, that concludes the demonstration. Next is the official test. Rest for five minutes, then we'll do the 50-Meter Dash."
"Yes!" Hearing that, everyone shouted in unison, their eyes filled with determination.
Those who made it to U.A. were all exceptional elites. None of them believed they would be eliminated on their first day of school.
At that moment, Su Lin returned to her group, feeling a little awkward under everyone's gaze.
Izuku Midoriya, standing beside her, looked somewhat embarrassed, while Tsuyu Asui on her right placed a finger by her mouth with a puzzled expression.
"Kero?"
Su Lin met Tsuyu's eyes for half a second and was about to make conversation when an exceptionally irritating voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Ohoho, what an alluring figure, such a light waist, such an imagination-stirring skirt, and those long, snow-white legs... My drool is about to fall..."
She glanced back and, sure enough, saw a short guy barely over a meter tall staring at her with a pair of lecherous eyes.
Minoru Mineta. His Quirk was Pop Off, the sticky grapes on his forehead. He was the most perverted student in U.A. Class A, a person who seemed to have been born for lust, with nothing but women in his mind.
The moment she confirmed it was him, veins bulged on Su Lin's forehead. She immediately turned, stepped forward, and kicked out with a bang. "Get lost."
"Ah—"
Mineta screamed and flew more than ten meters away.
"Nice kick. That guy went too far." Kyoka Jiro, who had long been disgusted by him, secretly felt pleased.
"Little Su Lin, is this what you originally looked like?" Tsuyu Asui turned her head after returning to her place and asked quietly.
"No, this is my Quirk state." Su Lin answered.
"I see." Tsuyu nodded and did not intend to keep asking. She knew some questions were not suitable to pursue unless Su Lin was willing to speak about them herself.
Still, no one had expected there to be a Quirk that could turn a boy into such a beautiful girl.
PS: There'll only be one update a day for the next two days. After that, two updates a day.
The Test Ends
The official test began, starting with the 50-Meter Dash.
Thanks to Yukino's light and agile body, she ran with ease. Her weight was also less than fifty kilograms, and with leg strength exceeding 200 kilograms, she ran 5.02 seconds while relying purely on physical strength.
That had already reached the class average.
"This girl..." All Might, who was secretly observing from not far away, shifted his gaze from Izuku Midoriya to Su Lin. "It seems that training was not meaningless after all. She endured hardships far beyond what ordinary people could bear to achieve these results. I hope young Midoriya can perform well too."
The second event was Grip Strength.
"Give it a try."
Taking the grip dynamometer, Su Lin held her breath and squeezed down hard.
The number on the device rapidly rose, surpassing 100 in the blink of an eye before finally stopping at 164.
164 kilograms.
"As expected, this is Yukino's current strength."
She had completely gained physical abilities that did not match her outward appearance. If an ordinary person trained their grip strength above 100 kilograms, they would inevitably be covered in muscles, but Yukino still retained her original figure.
The third event was the Standing Long Jump.
Su Lin jumped 4.6 meters, which was slightly worse than her results in the previous events.
Then came Side Steps, hopping back and forth sideways between two lines. This event was completely ridiculous, wasn't it? What was the point of jumping around like that?
The following events, especially something like the Seated Forward Bend, posed no pressure at all. Yukino's flexibility was unbelievably good. She bent to the maximum angle and took first place in that event.
Izuku Midoriya, who should have performed terribly, had his Quirk erased by Shota Aizawa the instant he used ONE.FOR.ALL to throw the softball. He was then given a stern lecture.
"Your ability may be powerful, but it destroys your own arm. When you become unable to move, are you expecting someone else to save you?"
"A method that harms yourself almost as much as it harms your enemy will never make you a hero."
Under those verbal provocations, Izuku Midoriya ultimately concentrated ONE.FOR.ALL's power in his finger and successfully threw the softball more than 700 meters without suffering serious injuries.
"Well, all I can say is, he really is the protagonist." Su Lin was speechless about it.
Midoriya's personality could create miracles at any time. Perhaps it was precisely because of that quality that All Might had chosen him.
But clearly, the Quirk Izuku Midoriya displayed made Katsuki Bakugo extremely unhappy. He rushed out on the spot, wanting to question Midoriya. As a result, Shota Aizawa restrained him with his binding cloth and scolded him as well.
The test continued as usual.
Once all the events were over, Shota Aizawa yawned and said lazily, "All right, let's announce the results. The total score is simple: it's the sum of the scores from every event. Explaining them one by one would be a waste of time, so I'll reveal them all at once."
As Shota Aizawa activated the projector, everyone's rankings appeared in midair.
Su Lin immediately found herself in tenth place, which basically matched her expectations. Izuku Midoriya, as expected, ranked last.
Remembering what Shota Aizawa had said, he clenched his fists, his face turning pale as iron, seemingly unable to accept the fate of expulsion.
Several seconds later, Shota Aizawa calmly turned off the device.
