Chapter 25: Izumi Miyamura: Xover - Chapter 25
The 8 tests went more or less as expected, in the 50 meter test Ruby came first, I came second and Taylor came third.
In fact, Ruby had trouble with the test, she was fast with her quirk, but her quirk turned her into a storm of intangible petals and the measuring robot couldn't really pick up on her arrival, she had to repeat it several times until she could reform in the right place to be measured.
In the grip strength test, I finished first and Taylor second by breaking the grip devices, using Haki was actually cheating, surprisingly, Izuku finished third, in fact, what really surprised me, is that Izuku was using AFO correctly, well, not 'correctly' but he was able to regulate the total output of the quirk, like to 5~10% possibly, it still wasn't Full Cowl , but it was more than enough to finish in the top half in most of the tests.
In the long jump there were several people who passed the entire sandbox, Ruby, Taylor, Penny, Ravel, Azula, Bakugo, Izuku, Yaoyorozu and I, almost half of the students.
Sidesteps there was a minor issue with Ruby when she tried to use her quirk and she turned into petals again and made it difficult to track the robot, which, Aizawa was about to force her to not use her quirk for now, but I offered to do it manually.
Interestingly, Aizawa allowed it, I thought he would refuse, but he simply handed me a hand counter and I took the data as valid, I shrugged, either he had a lot of faith in us, or he didn't care, or he simply thought that I wasn't going to lie to him in any way, it was really difficult to read Aizawa.
The ball throw was nothing out of the ordinary and there was no interruption like in canon, obviously no one could beat Uraraka and her 'infinite' result, but besides that, only one other person could surpass Taylor's result, and that was Penny, and she did it with a freaking rocket fist, I didn't remember any rocket fist in canon but it was amazing- wait, gender roles reversed, rocket fists were something most guys liked, ergo all the girls liked rocket fist in this world? Possibly Penny herself asked her father to implement it for her… I really didn't want to think about it.
Back to the test, I only made it past 1500 meters and finished in fourth place, I couldn't really do much more with my bare hands, even with my strength and haki there was a limit to the distance I could throw with my hands since unlike Taylor I couldn't get a pipe.
In the endurance race, it was a quadruple first place finish shared between Yaoyorozu, Penny, Taylor and I, as well as the sit-ups and toe touching, both of which were also multiple first place finishers.
Mostly because the aura gave everyone extra stamina and we didn't really have all day to wait for ourselves to slowly wear ourselves out so Aizawa had to stop the tests at some point.
"It's time to see the results ." Aizawa said as he manipulated his tablet. "The total is the sum of the other scores." Holograms appeared showing the leaderboard.
1-Miyamura Izumi
2-Taylor Hebert
3-Penny Polendina
4-Momo Yaoyorozu
…
9-Ruby Rose
…
Actually, Haki helped Taylor a lot in the tests, she barely beat Penny in the total results.
"Oh yeah, that whole 'expulsion' thing was a lie." Aizawa said suddenly.
"Huh?" I snorted amusedly as I listened to the group's stupid response.
"It was a rational trick to get the best out of him." Aizawa's smile was unhinged.
"WHAT?!?!?!" several shouted at the same time, I could see Jiro, Shino and Hagakure collapse in relief, really, their quirks couldn't have really helped her in any of the tests, especially Shino Asada, really the only test she excelled in was the strength one, I guess handling an antimatter rifle made her gain more than enough muscles.
"Of course it was a lie, it was obvious if you think about it." Yaoyorozu said and I didn't hold back my snort which earned me a look from Yaoyorozu.
"...right, yeah, that's it, your syllabi are on your desks, check them when you get back to class." With that Aizawa turned around and left.
"Let's get changed." I said to Taylor and Ruby who nodded.
"Miyamura-san," Yaoyorozu interrupted me with a frown, I raised an eyebrow in her direction.
" Yeah ?"
"Could you explain that snort?" I stared at her before shrugging.
"Nothing, just that you were wrong." I said simply, she was surprised and was about to reply "there is no class 2-A." I said before she spoke, she seemed confused.
"What? What do you mean there's no class 2-A? "
"It's just like it sounds, there isn't one." I shrugged before smiling at her, "because Aizawa kicked them all out." It took Yaoyorozu a few seconds to register my words, as did the rest of the people listening to our conversation, before they paled.
"W-what? It's a lie." Yaoyorozu said quickly, her paleness was worrying, I shrugged.
"You can easily find out, you can ask around, or just look on the university's website. They keep track of the students to make it easier for agencies and guilds to have profiles on them." I said simply, Yaoyorozu took a step back as if she had been slapped, I sighed "Don't worry, from what I can tell, as long as you try hard and do your best, Aizawa is unlikely to expel you." I said simply "Let's go." I looked at Taylor and Ruby who also grimaced while slightly pale and turned around to start walking.

The girls and I were relaxing in our room, after a not so long, but somewhat tedious conversation about my lack of natural expressions and reassuring them that no, I wasn't faking any emotion, we were quietly in the room.
Taylor was reading a book as usual in one corner of the long couch I had in my room, Ruby had her head resting on Taylor's lap with her new scroll in her hand as she fiddled with it, I was in the other corner with Ruby's legs on my lap, also using my scroll, but unlike Ruby, who seemed to have downloaded video games as soon as she had free time, I was alternating between browsing some forums, or listening to music, or musicals, from some wireless headphones
It was nice to have some downtime and just spend it together, even if we weren't doing anything together.
knock , Knock , Knock our gaze turned in unison to the door.
"I'm going!" Ruby exclaimed, disappearing into petals and appearing in front of the door, opening it. " Yeah ? Uh... Azula? " Ruby asked with a smile. Azula nodded.
"I have something to talk to Miyamura about." she said simply, Ruby blinked and looked at me, I shrugged.
"Let her in." With that Ruby opened the door wider letting Azula enter the room, closing it after Azula entered with a firm step, her gaze immediately fixed on me, I took off my headphones "What happened Azula?" I asked, she remained silent.
"marry me."
…what?
