The first real test for class 1-B was the 50-meter dash, as the fastest of the class was decided then and there.
Nobody in his class had any speed enhancing quirk, Sukuna mused, after looking at each and every one of them carefully.
Mirio and Tamaki were self explanatory, although Tamaki could definitely enhance his speed if he ate a horse and could replicate it’s legs.
The others, however, weren’t so exceptional to say the least.
Atleast the blue haired girl that kept glancing at him scored the highest, being able to run – or in her case, fly – the entire way through in just 5.26 seconds.
‘Nejire Hado was her name, wasn’t it?’ Sukuna thought, interested by the way she acted cold towards everyone, yet the way she hesitated made her “cold” persona become nothing more than an act in Sukuna’s eyes.
Nejire Hado turned out to be the fastest student in class 1-B, with the sole exception of Midoriya Sukuna, of course.
Next were the longstanding jumps, and while Sukuna made sure to keep his physical body at its peak in this life, he still couldn’t surpass that Nejire girl, since she had flight.
However, the result between them was extremely close, since Sukuna could achieve a method of pseudo – flight through exploding the Cursed Energy beneath him, making it seem like he was double jumping.
Endurance running was easy enough, Sukuna cleared that test and simply made his classmates gape at him when he didn’t even break a sweat after running for an hour.
To be fair to these children, their endurance also fascinated Sukuna, since even the worst student in the endurance running test could keep up longer than an Olympic athlete in his past life.
Itadori Yuji’s knowledge of them was quite vast, since he liked sports and whatnot, so Sukuna knew about them by default.
Upper body training and seated toe touching were also simple enough to clear, with Sukuna dominating every test their teacher set out for them, except for the longstanding jump, where Nejire had beaten him by a small gap.
Soon, the results were out, and the student who had found himself in last place simply looked on with a defeated expression.
Her red hair just flowed along the wind quietly, as she began to walk away.
“Where are you going, Yuyu Haya?
That part about me expelling anybody was just a logical rouse to fire you all up.” Aizawa revealed, giving everybody a grin that had them deflate in relief.
Sukuna kept on watching with a detached expression, but his mind was already working at a 100 miles an hour.
‘A logical rouse?
What a lousy excuse.
He really was going to expel that girl, had it not been for her exceptional willpower.
I can see what type of teacher this guy is now.’ Sukuna simply smiled, hand on his chin, as he was sitting down on the grass.
Yes, sitting, because Mirio left him alone for the reason that he was pissed at Sukuna.
Tamaki simply went along with Mirio, and nobody in this class looked like they wanted to do anything with him either, as they gave him a noticeably open space to relax on.
“But sensei, wasn’t your logical rouse a bit too extreme?
It’s unfair for you to abuse your power as a teacher on us.” Another girl had spoken up, she had silver hair and grey eyes to match, her height placing her in the shortest of their class.
She looked like she was righteously angry, which amused Sukuna to no end.
Her glare turned to him before Aizawa replied, her tone turning into a skeptical one : “And you, four eyes.
I don’t know what your problem is, but if you see yourself so above everybody that you won’t even interact with us, then you should just quit pretending to be a hero-in-training already.” “Why should I interact with any of you?” Sukuna replied, making the girl in question blink, but before she could reply, he continued to speak : “Why should I waste my time forming friendships with all of you?
Is it because you believe that I’m a lonely douchebag…
Or is it something else?” He asked, his tone turning into a teasing one, as he mocked her.
“If you wanted my attention so badly, you could’ve just said hello, you know.” The girl in question blushed, looking away from Sukuna with her arms crossed.
Some of his classmates chuckled, while Mirio turned to give him a wink and a thumbs up.
“To answer your earlier question..
U.A gives its teachers the right to exercise any training they deem suitable to freshen you all up.
And..
Unfair?” Aizawa’s tone was full of anger, cutting through the teasing atmosphere.
“Do you think natural disasters are fair?
Or power hungry villains, hm?
Or catastrophic incidents that wipe out whole cities?
No, the world is full of unfairness, which is precisely the reason why YOU are all here.
To combat that unfairness, to save a child from being abandoned, to push beyond your limits and forcefully rewrite the outcome of a one-sided fight.
That’s what our motto exists for : Plus Ultra style.” Aizawa gave them all a harsh gaze, as he continued to speak.
“By no means are these expectations fair for all of you, but the world itself is built on the concept of unfairness.” With that, he finished his speech, simply turning around and disappearing back into the tree.
The class stayed silent, as the short girl from earlier couldn’t help but let out a tired sigh.
“He’s right.
I shouldnt have asked that, it was stupid.” Sukuna had already blanked out on most of the conversations flowing around him, his eyes unfocused, as he remembered a particular title given to him by the sorcerers of the Heian Era : a walking calamity.
Aizawa’s speech, specifically the part about catastrophic incidents that wipe out cities, dug up Sukuna’s guilt at what he had done in Shibuya.
He knew now that that particular action was in another life, as he shook his head to clear his thoughts.
He made a promise in this new life, and he was going to see it through no matter what.
“Um..
Midoriya, right?” Sukuna looked up from where he was sitting, right into the eyes of the blue-haired girl.
“My name is Nejire.
Hado Nejire.” She bit her lips for a moment, before she finally asked.
“Can you please tell me what your quirk is?” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Hamood0831 Cliffhanger.
Also, 1st year Nejire is literally a female Tamaki if you guys think about it, lol.
