The class collectively stared at the rankings.
Akira was delighted, a joyful smirk dancing on her face.
Looks like she didn't have to do waste disposal in secrecy. The trash is deleting itself from her radius.
Minoru Mineta looked distraught. He's going to be sent home. He is crying and begging at this point.
" Sensei!!! They are crazy!! What kind of humans get those scores! They are monsters! You can't compare me to them! I-" Mineta sniffled and cried out his sorrows.
Alas.
" Mineta. You have no discipline, potential or character. Pack your bags.
Midoriya. Shoto. Bakugo. You have talent. Work on it.
Akira, while you have talent, don't celebrate for being on the top. This is just the beginning. If you slack, that position would be swept from right under you.
Momo. Your quirk control is excellent. But your fitness is lacking.
Jiro and Kaminari. While your quirks are highly versatile, you showed no creativity in their use. The same with the rest.
Take a break and be back in class after lunch. Your combat training will start. "
As the students headed to the cafeteria,
" Midoriya! Is that really you? You changed a lot since we last met. I almost didn't believe it you know?" Akira chirped.
" Akira chan.....you remember me?"
" Ofcourse silly. You are the only one who looks like a broccoli and mutters essays. It's hard to forget someone like you you know. But seriously tho. You bulked up a lot. You even stopped stuttering and flinching. And you even have a quirk now. Did you get it like super late?" Akira asked genuinely confused. The broccoli she saw in the series is almost a whole different person from this one.
'Canonically, Midoriya is a sore loser who only managed to get quirk on the day of exam. Not to mention, less confident, breaks something in body everytime he uses one for all. But.... what changed? Is this some butterfly effect? But I interacted only one time with him. And if that alone brought this much change..... what is about to happen since I'm now going to interact with canon characters daily. It doesn't matter. I'll just enjoy. Whatever happens, happens. It's not my responsibility to keep the world in check. I didn't ask to be dropped here. Whatever happens because of that is not my business. This is his show. Not mine. I'll just have fun and do whatever I want."
" A-Akira chan.. you changed a lot. ... After you left that day.... I... I trained a lot. You are right.... I..was making excuses. Thank you... If it weren't for you that day.... I wouldn't have been here ... infront of you like this. I couldn't thank you then....you left and never came back.... But..... Thank you! My dream....my dream of being a hero.... it's because of you that it's coming to reality..... Thank you...."
" Oh come on. Don't thank me. It's your own hardwork. And actually...., I wanted to apologise to you. I was too harsh on you that day. I didn't put myself in your position. It must've been hard right? To have everyone bully you for being quirkless and laughing at your dreams? You were looking for validation at that time. I crushed it and shoved it in a dustbin. I was inconsiderate and acted like that firecracker. I'm sorry.
And please stop crying. You might be labelled crybaby hero at this rate. "
That last comment broke a soft laugh from midoriya as he wiped his tears.
But then suddenly got confused.
" Firecracker? Do you mean kacchan? "
" Yeah. That loudmouth.Who else?"
" Midoriya kun, you both know eachother?" Iida Tenya asked hearing their conversation.
" Yeah... Iida kun, this is Akira chan. She has a blood manipulation quirk and is a really good person. "
" I feel like there's a hidden joke in that ' good ' part of my introduction. I'll introduce myself. I'm Akira Anzai. Just call me Akira or Akira chan. I'm an amazing narcissist. Nice to meet you Iida kun. "
"....That was a rather unique introduction Akira chan. My name is Tenya Iida. It's a pleasure to meet you. But I have to admit, you are amazing. Your delivery during every phase of the quirk apprehension test was highly creative and efficient. Especially in the soft ball test. I have always been the fastest one in the room. But I only came second after you and Midoriya kun during the speed tests. As expected of someone who topped the entrance exam. "
" Sooo..... friends??"
" It would be an honor to be friends with you Akira chan. "
" Wow. You're so serious. Anyways. Thanks for feeding my ego. Let's have lunch?"
" Deku kun! You're here! I was searching for you! "
" Uraraka san... This is Akira chan. "
" Hi Ochako chan! That infinity during the ball throw cracked me up you know. You looked pretty cool there. "
" H-haii! Thank you! "
" You're welcome!"
" Hey.....the cafeteria is pretty crowded don't you think?"
" ...yeah. " The other three agreed.
They all had lunch together before going back to class.

No gap.
So basically, this chapter had some extra thinking on my side.
Canonically, Midoriya was at last because he inherited OFA at the last possible moment he could for the exam.
And since Akira already gave him some early headstart, he trained his body much earlier than in canon by himself and is not a total glass canon now.
In this AU, he had one for all for a whole five months before he came to UA.
So his control is much better. He can now use full cowling freely.
And since he's already got some martial arts skill by now, he can throw a proper punch with proper form and technique using his whole body instead of just his hand like in canon.
So, his output is much stronger with the softball than when he used hundred percent and broke his finger orginally.
And Bakugo will not be quiet when he sees the underdog being better than him or being able to pary him when he goes for a hit. So parallelly, Bakugo's strength also grew with his inferiority complex.
But they settled their matters in the beach when Bakugo walked in on a conversation between Allmight and Midoriya and finding out about the secret.
They had a massive fight and settled their differences in presence of Allmight.
Bakugo got trained alongside Midoriya and they actually got along much better and constantly sparred.
Bakugo's quirk got much stronger and better than it did in the early episodes of og.
And as the last person, Mineta got expelled. The only reason canon Midoriya didn't get expelled was because he showed a speck of potential that Aizawa liked.
The initial behaviour of Mineta towards Akira already kept held him on a very bad light in Aizawa's eyes and he only got saved then because Akira immediately got extreme.
Now that he found no potential or any hero behaviour in Mineta, he expelled him without hesitation.
Tell me about your thoughts on this chapter in the comments. Especially on Mineta.
And I would like to give a massive shoutout to John_Human who showed me amazing support every passing day! Literally. Sir. You're amazing!
And another Shoutout to my Patron Thomo.
And for all the wait for all these days, I am going to give a bonus chapter! ]
