"The erasure hero: Eraserhead!"
Even tho I had totally zoned out most of the conversation I did perk up at Aizawa's hero name. My classmates were mostly clueless about who that was so I piped in with "Only the coolest hero! Nya!" I said excitedly jumping around. I was then distracted by Tokoyami's dark shadow and began chittering with him.
I was drawn back in by the smell of caramel and explosions. I jumped away from Tokiyami and shifted into the bengal tiger before running in front of Izuku and growling at the blonde Pomeranian.
At the same time Aizawa wrapped the boy in his capture scarf. "They're weapons for capture made of carbon fiber woven together with metal wire made of a special alloy. Jeez. Don't keep making me use my quirk over and over. I have dry eye." He pulled his scarf back and I growled at the boy again. "We're wasting time. Whoever's next, get ready."
Izuku walked around the Pomeranian while I stood in between keeping low to the ground and ready to fight if the boy so much as moved.
Sit-ups were too easy and I did way more than needed. And for seated toe touch I went way past my feet. A small purple haired boy kept giving me looks while I did it. It made me really uncomfortable and after the test I hid behind Aizawa.
The last test was long distance running. I shifted into my tiger again. At one point I spaced out and Aizawa had to call me to stop.
Everyone gathered around as Aizawa began to show the results.
I easily got first place and shoto got third. Izu got last.
"By the way I was lying about expulsion. It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your quirks." Aizawa said.
Most of my class mates freaked out and the girl who got second: Momo spoke up. "Of course that was a lie. It would have been obvious if you just thought it through."
I hissed before prowling to Aizawa and shifted back beside him holding his jumpsuit in one hand and my cheek in the other. "Wasn't a lie. Aizawa doesn't lie." I said but no one but him heard me.
"With that we're done here. There are handouts with the curriculum and such in the classroom so when you get back, look over them" Aizawa said walking away. I kept hold of his jumpsuit and followed him. "Midoriya, have the old lady fix you in the nurses office. Tomorrow will be packed with even more rigorous tests. Prepare yourself."
I followed Aizawa to the side of the building and he was called out to by a buff man in a yellow pinstripe suit. "Aizawa, you liar."
My head bounced back and forth as they talked.
"All might. So you were watching? Too much time on your hands."
"A rational deception you said. April fools was last week. You punished a whole class of last years first-years with expulsion. You cut those you judge to be without potential without hesitation. For a man like that to take back his words—that must be because you also felt the potential of that kid, right?"
""Also" you seem to be supporting him quite a bit. Is that how a teacher should be acting? His potential was not zero. That's all it was. I will always cut those without potential. There's nothing crueler than letting a dream end midway." Aizawa said walking away from the buff man.
I followed close behind still holding his jumper. "He smells kinda like mr Yagi?"
Aizawa said nothing but picked me up and carried me to recovery girl. "You did good on the tests but try not to eat the machine next time."
"I sorry." I mumbled over his shoulder. "What do ya want for dinner?"
"Miso ramen."
"And vegetables?" I said playing with his hair.
"Do we really gotta?" He said grumbling.
"Yes! Everyone should eat vegetables. Whose the adult here?" I ask myself.
"Granny chiyo?" Aizawa said stepping into the nurses office.
An old lady who was smaller than me came out from nowhere. "You sent me a kid with a broken finger and now you send me another. It's just the first day Eraserhead!" She said exasperated.
I jumped down from Aizawa's arms and landed silently on the ground. "I tried to bite the machine and it broke in my mouth. I've been icing it but it still hurts a lot."
"Come ere dearie." She said motioning me over. She reminds me of a grandmother. Not that I knew mine. She smells like hard candy and lavender.
She kissed my cheek and I felt the wound healing.
I began to jump excitedly. "Sugoi! That's so cool! Thank you granny!"
The old lady tilted her head. "Normally my quirk uses your energy against you but you seem barely affected?"
I stilled and tried to think of a safe answer. "Uhh I have a lot of energy?" I couldn't just tell them that I had the stamina to run for three days straight. That'd be weird right?
We left the nurses office and my phone beeped. Both Izu and Shinso were taking the subway. That means I'd ride home alone. Maybe their going to the subway with their new friends. I turned to Aizawa and frowned. I should be happy for them but I felt a little sad.
"Shinso and Izuku are using the subway today. Can I stay after until you go home too?" I said sadly.
"What about shoto?" Aizawa asked.
"His father always makes a limo pick him up. If it doesn't pick him up his dad gets mad at him."
"Sure. Go get changed and then come find me in the teachers lounge." Aizawa said walking away.
I walked the other way and went to the girls locker rooms. I got changed and grabbed my book bag from the class room before looking for the teachers lounge.
It took a bit to find. I mostly tried to follow Aizawa's smell. When I got there I opened the door ignoring the other teachers before finding Aizawa at his desk and sat on the ground leaning against the leg of his chair.
It was quiet enough you could hear a pin drop. I looked up from looking for my phone to see everyone's eyes on me. One of them shouted something but I squeaked and shifted to the first thing I could think of and that was unfortunately a rabbit. Rabbits do not have the best track record when scared.
I jumped under the desk and scurried underneath something dark. I started to hyperventilate and the cords I was tangled in did not help at all! I started making distressed noises when one got wrapped around my throat.
A pair of pale hands reached under the desk while another held a flashlight.
"Shit, ones wrapped around her head." I distantly heard someone curse.
Hands reached around me and tried slipping the cords off my head. And away from my feet. When I was free I tried to jump away but the hands held tighter. I was pulled out and into the light and then immediately into someone's chest. "Calm down before I have to use my quirk on you." Aizawa said while rubbing my head.
I sneezed when he rubbed my left ear. And at least three people awed.
"Calmer?" Aizawa asked.
I nodded and my ears twitched. Someone came up to the left of me. "Sorry Little listener. I got excited." Present mic said.
My ears started twitching excitedly and I chirped before jumping out of Aizawa's arm and at present mic. Present mic caught me and held me close with wide eyes. Aizawa scolded me saying that I shouldn't jump at unsuspecting people. I chirped and tried waving my arms around to communicate before giving up and pulling my ears over my eyes.
"Hey hey hey Aizawa cut the little listener a break. Ehh why's she here anyway?" Present mic said while petting me.
I jumped out of his arms and shifted midair landing on the ground silently. I raised my finger like I was about to talk, opening and closing my mouth, before putting my hand down. My ears dropped and I frowned. "My friends all went home with their new friends and I didn't wanna drive home alone so I was going to wait for Aizawa."
"Why would you wait for Aizawa?" A lady with a mask and black hair asked.
"Im his pet!" I said proudly.
The lady clenched her stomach and began to cackle. While present mic looked between me and Aizawa.
Aizawa ran his hand down his face and sighed before turning to his coworkers. "She is not my pet. She's a damn stray I picked up off the street. She's been living with me since."
I nodded my head up and down rapidly. "Yep. I won him over with my cooking. He suggested going to a hero school and he helped me train for the exams—"
Aizawa cut in, "not that she needs it."
"He promised me fancy tuna if I got in!" I said excitedly.
Aizawa sat down to do his paper work and I sat beside him while he did it. When he was going over the papers of the purple headed boy I pulled on Aizawa's sleeve making him turn to me.
"He's not good. He said some really weird stuff around the girls and he keeps looking at them with a...leery look. He kept watching me while I did the seated toe touch. It made me feel really really gross." I said shuddering.
Aizawa put his hand on my head and told me with determination. "I'll take care of it."
"I could always eat him. Not that he'd taste good...he looks chewy. But it would get rid of the evidence." I said helpfully.
Aizawa sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "You may not eat him."
