Chapter 24: Izumi Miyamura: Xover - Chapter 24
After eating breakfast with Taylor and Ruby and ignoring the other girls' complaints about not making them breakfast so they had to go to the cafeteria, we headed to the first class, our first class I must say, Taylor and Ruby looked good in their UA uniforms, once we got inside there was only Shoko and Azula, Azula looked at me intensely before looking away, I chuckled, when we came back from running she had left the ceremonial sword in its place and disappeared from the building.
Unfortunately the seats were numbered, so we would be separated during class, but they still stayed talking for a few minutes while the rest of the girls and Izuku entered the room.
"If you're looking to make friends, then look elsewhere," I blinked a few times, I wasn't really paying attention to the people outside the classroom but even as he spoke now, Aizawa had very little presence that he almost blended in with the place even as he was lying inside his ridiculous bright yellow sleeping bag. "It took him 8 seconds to calm down, life is short, you guys still lack common sense." Aizawa stood up and got out of his sleeping bag, he looked… better groomed than canon? He didn't completely look like a homeless man like the Aizawa I knew, his beard and hair were better groomed but his tired look and dark circles under his eyes were still present.
"I'm your homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shouta, follow me." Aizawa led us to the locker room where he made us change into our training clothes and we headed outside.
"Aizawa! Just in time, I've finished preparing the aura gauge! "
"Thanks Maijima." Aizawa nodded as we approached, Power Loader, was a woman, of course she was, and her costume was no different than what I remembered so she was topless, Aizawa said goodbye to her without introducing her to us and looked at us "this, is an aura meter, it will tell us what kind of rank they are, there are 7 ranks, from E to S" he pointed to the machine behind him "this will tell us approximately where they are, but not their combat level, yes, there is a difference between a rank B and a rank A, but the first can defeat the second if he has more experience and is more skilled than the second, or can even rise in rank if he trains enough, the aura can grow, so this measurement is only to form a baseline"
"Now, I'll go get your seat numbers, come closer and touch the screen while pushing your aura out" she added as she took out a tablet and began to manipulate it "Ruby Rose" Ruby nodded and quickly ran to the machine and pressed her hand on the machine.
RANK B
"Alright, here," Aizawa grabbed a device from the machine and threw it to Ruby. "These are Scrolls, they work like a phone and a laptop, but their main function is that they are able to monitor your aura levels. The meter is responsible for linking them with your aura. Make sure you carry them with you at all times."
"Great!" Ruby squealed as she looked at the device in her hand.
"Okay, next, Mina Ashido"
RANK C
Aizawa continued calling out to the students.
Tsuyu Asui - RANK C
Sona Sitri - RANK A
Ochaco Uraraka – RANK C
"Taylor Hebert" Taylor walked over when Aizawa mentioned her name and placed her hand on the meter.
RANK ????
"That thing broke?" Bakugo huffed, I smiled widely, but everyone else looked worried or confused, Aizawa shook his head.
"No, it's rare for that to happen, but it's normal" Aizawa looked at Taylor "it's designed this way so as not to cause panic when someone is being examined in public, Taylor Hebert, Rank S, next." The shock froze the entire group, including Taylor, who looked incredulously at Aizawa, who rolled his eyes and threw a scroll at Taylor, who caught it clumsily "Go back to your place, Penny Polendina."
"Oh my goddess! Taylor you are an S rank. " Ruby squealed excitedly once Taylor followed.
"I... it seems so" Taylor said still looking confused, I chuckled.
"It's not weird, your aura was already too big when I met you" I told her honestly, she blinked but nodded in confirmation before looking at the other girls who continued to pass in front of Aizawa.
Penny Polendina – RANK A
Ravel Phenex – RANK A
Jinx – RANK B
Asuna Yuuki – RANK B
Azula – RANK B
Kyoka Jiro – RANK C
Shino Asada – RANK B
"Izumi Miyamura" I approached without hesitation and placed my hand on the meter, RANK G, I blinked confused and looked at Aizawa, he also seemed confused "again" I took out my mane and put it back, RANK G.
"It doesn't look like it's going to change," I smiled awkwardly, "Although, shouldn't this go up to RANK E?" Aizawa frowned.
"Not necessarily, E Rank is for people with aura, but very weak, F Rank are for people without awakened auras, normal people, G ranks... should be below people ... like a tree" I moaned loudly and palmed my face, Aizawa looked at me strangely.
"Just... let me try something" I said tiredly to Aizawa, he frowned, but nodded.
I didn't really think Yoriichi's selfless state was a problem, but it was easy to solve, I took a deep breath and let my Conqueror's Haki come out just barely, I could see out of the corner of my eye Aizawa open his eyes widely, I ignored him and placed my hand on his chest, RANK ???? I closed my haki again.
"Haoshoku Haki," Aizawa muttered in surprise before frowning, "and so young, who taught you Miyamura? And why didn't the measuring machine register you before? " he asked firmly.
"No one trained me," I shrugged, "and it was because of what I call the 'Selfless State', I am able to completely erase my fighting spirit, fighting will, bloodlust, anger, hatred, malevolence, impulses and animosity, actually, almost any emotion," I shrugged.
"Impossible" Azula said to the group, by the way, they were still there "a human being cannot be devoid of fighting spirit, even babies emit it" I shrugged.
"No... it doesn't exist, although, I've never heard it called 'Selfless State', it's often much more commonly known as Anatta State" Aizawa interrupted, I smiled crookedly at him.
"Well... yeah, I did name him after all," I said awkwardly, he looked at me and nodded.
"I'm sure you can count on one hand the number of people who can enter that state… if there are any, you can name it whatever you want" Aizawa said before frowning "although, I understood that it was theorized that the user would become incredibly calm and focused, you… seem to show your emotions openly"
"oh yeah… that happens" I shrugged as Aizawa waited for me to continue "but… well, I can be in this state like I'm a baby, it was complicated for my mother to be in that state, I didn't cry, I didn't laugh, I didn't give off any emotion and in fact, I 'disappeared' from her sight even though I was in front of her" I made a face, I remembered that time and my mother really almost went crazy with worry "so I learned to… increase my presence? And also to move the muscles of my face manually so I could express myself" it was difficult, but I did it!
"Wait, you mean you left RANK G and were, like you said, 'increasing your presence'" Aizawa sounded incredulous, I smiled awkwardly, he sighed tiredly "and the rest? What, you can't feel any emotions? "
"Oh no, no, no, no, I can feel emotions, but it's like putting it… most people can emit those emotions through their expressions, their auras, something that other people can pick up on… I can feel my feelings, my emotions just as strongly as anyone else, but… I can't express them outwardly, my body isn't capable of expressing what I feel and neither can my soul unless they're very extreme, so… I just force my body to replicate the expressions to show what I'm feeling? It was weird at first and I had to practice a lot in front of a mirror, but now I can do it almost naturally, because well, it's not natural for me." I shrugged, Aizawa frowned as he looked at me.
"We'll be talking about this later, maybe with Hound Dog, for now go back to your place" Aizawa pointed to the crowd, I nodded and left "Next, Shoko Todoroki"
"You... is it true?" Taylor asked once I got closer, Ruby looked worried.
"What is it?" I asked confused, they made a face.
"Are you faking your emotions? …we…"
"okay stop." i said to both of them, they closed their mouths "i'm not faking my emotions, they're there, I love you both there's no doubt about it" they blushed lightly "the point is, i can't express it through my expressions naturally, so… i have to do it manually, move all the muscles in my face to express what i feel, it's… weird i'm not gonna lie, it's not natural for me, but i'm used to it so don't worry." both girls looked conflicted before they nodded, i kissed them both "let's talk later if you have any questions."
Shoko Todoroki – RANK A
Toru Hagakure – RANK C
Katsumi Bakugo – RANK A
Izuku Midoriya – RANK S
YunYun – RANK B
Momo Yaoyorozu – RANK C
" Alright, we have 3 S rank in the class, this is weird, I'll have to rearrange my curriculum, what a pain" Aizawa groaned as he tapped away at his screen "now, it's time for the quirk apprehension test, Hebert come on" Taylor walked quickly over and clumsily caught the ball Aizawa threw at her "Hebert, you're the top scorer in the entrance exams, when was your furthest distance throwing a ball without a quirk? " Taylor blanked out.
"40 meters, maybe 50." Taylor grimaced, but Aizawa just nodded.
"Try it using your quirk, do whatever you want as long as you don't leave the circle" Aizawa told her while pointing at the circle on the ground, Taylor was confused, Aizawa sighed in frustration "throwing tests, long jump, 50 meter race, endurance race, strength tests, side jumps, upper body exercises, squats" Aizawa listed "those are physical tests from the school where they were banned from using quirks, we already measured their auras, now it's time to see what they can really do without holding back" Aizawa explained to the group "now, shoot Hebert" he said looking at Taylor, Taylor nodded and stood still for a few seconds until a small swarm moved in Taylor's direction.
"Disgusting ." Ashido shuddered as she looked at the insects, when the swarm approached Taylor, she simply raised her hand and stuck it inside the insects, taking out a steel pipe, Taylor studied it for a few seconds before swinging it slightly, she grimaced, but nodded.
"How long can these balls last?" Taylor asked, looking at Aizawa.
"Enough" Aizawa gave her a wild smile, Taylor nodded, to my surprise Taylor stared at her hand momentarily before it turned completely black, what a surprise, I didn't think she would be using Armament Haki, but it makes sense, it's not something she can use quickly enough to be able to use it during a fight yet, but since she now had time to prepare she could use it freely.
She then brought her swarm down once more, this time her bugs surrounded the ball and before long it was covered in spider silk and holding it in the air, Taylor got into position and breathed, Water Breathing: First Form: Water Surface Slash , Taylor struck the ball diagonally, which shot out with an explosion when the metal pipe hit the ball, her bugs were shattered by the shock force generated when the ball broke at the speed of sound, she whistled in shock, she really had improved.
"This, along with the level of your aura, will be a rational indicator that forms the basis of your 'hero foundations'" Aizawa said as he raised a small device, the screen showed some numbers 2893.6m, and the group exploded with excitement.
"Amazing!! That looks fun! "
"2900 meters?! Impossible! "
"We can really use our quirks! As expected of the hero department!! "
"It sounds fun... you think?" Aizawa muttered, and so it begins, I thought while smiling widely, Aizawa silenced them all "so you plan on spending three years here having a good time? What's up with being a hero?" A hunter? " Aizawa gave us a death glare "okay, new rule: the student who comes in last in total points will be labeled as 'irredeemable' and expelled immediately."
