After celebrating with Arashi's family and Kenji, he returned home late at night. As he was changing to his pajamas, he noticed the envelope from UA had another letter inside it.
He picked it up and ready it. It was the usual school rules and the basic instructions for further paperwork. He ignored the usual ones, but stopped at the section that read "Hero Costumes"
Kazuto read the whole section and cursed "Shit!" throwing the paper on the table. He says to himself "This changes everything. If I need a costume made for me, I have to give them consent to access my records of my quirk.
I know I can still change the quirk, but I don't want to do that. It's unfair how the quirkless have a lot of advantages. They have reduced taxes, better labour laws and also.... polygamy."
Yes, there was also a law that allowed polygamy for the quirkless. This law was passed at the early stages when quirks slowly started increasing. Initially when quirks appeared, the quirkless had the advantage in numbers, but slowly the quirk population started increasing. When it reached 50%, the government took a step to help increase the quirkless population, legalise polygamy. This however couldn't stop the inevitable. Now, the law sits forgotten and untouched.
The later reduced taxes law was imposed when the quirkless population became a minority and they were being pushed around. So, to help them, they passed all those laws.
"On one hand, changing my quirk would be the safest route because even if I try to take advantage of these laws, when I get famous as a hero, many would question how I was quirkless on records. Many quirkless could even protest against me.
The other option would be to try my best to continue being quirkless on records. This would just be a pain in the ass." Kazuto said to himself. He sighed in the end and decided to get his quirk changed.
His dream of being surrounded by multiple wives was shattered before he even spoke to a single girl.
The next day, he went to the hospital and got his quirk appraised. They ran a series of tests and in the end, Kazuto was sitting in the doctor's office, waiting for the doctor.
The doctor walked in and said "Super-strength. A quirk many dream of having, how do you feel?"
Kazuto then replied "I also have another quirk. I have a weird energy that helps me knock people out around me."
Doctor looked at Kazuto and then at the charts in his hands. He looked intrigued and said "Good that you didn't demonstrate it in the hospital. Can't have doctors in surgery knocked out and risk a patient."
Now, Kazuto could just say superhuman strength and be done with it, but he wanted no trouble when he knocks people out with his conquerors haki. Knocking people out is not a normal thing. It is a crime and he could get into trouble if everyone around him get knocked out.
The doctor then looked at Kazuto and asked "So, this is a new quirk. What do you want to call it?"
Kazuto thought for a while and said "Haki".
"Ok! All done." Doctor said, signing the paper in his hand. He then handed it to Kazuto and said "Take this to the city hall, they should update your quirk in the records."
Kazuto thanked him and left the hospital. He then went to the city hall and got his quirk changed. The next day, he sent the design for his costume and his quirk registry papers. He had nothing else to do after this, so he went back to his usual training.
He was bored in the dojo, and the club was the only place where he still had something to learn. Just like that, 2 weeks passed.
Kazuto woke up with a wide grin and excitement. "Today is my first day at UA. I can't wait to meet the rest of the class." Kazuto said and jumped up from the bed.
He immediately changed his clothes and went for his routine early morning exercise. With his current physique, he was able to do three sets of Saitma training.
He then got back home and got ready for his first day at UA. He left the home early and arrived at UA 30 mins before the classes start.
He looked at his instructions letter he recieved from UA and made his way to class 1-A. He stopped in front of the huge door, with 1-A written in huge bold font on the door.
Kazuto dook a deep breathe and exhaled. He said to himself "Remember, first impressions make a lot of impact." He said to himself and opened the door.
The class was already half full, with many seats filled. Kazuto entered and scanned the whole class. He could recognise a lot of people.
"There's Bakugo, Iida, Asui, Momo, Kirishima, Todoroki, Koda and Shoji. This is unbelievable." Kazuto was basically jumping inside, but he didn't show it out. He looked at his letter and walked towards his seat, which was at the last row.
When he got to his desk, which was between Todoroki and Momo's seats, he turned to both of them and greeted them "Hi".
Todoroki just nodded while Momo waved back at him with a smile, both of them not wanting to start a conversation.
Kazuto just shrugged it off and sat in his desk. Kazuto had a smile on his face as he was taking in the whole feeling of being in a school that teaches how to become a hero.
Iida saw the look on Kazuto's face and just shook his head 'He probably thinks he is going to have fun here. He has no seriousness of a hero. This is no place to have fun. This is a sacred place to become a great hero. I want to meet that person Takashi Kazuto, who came first in the entrance test. He even beat All Might's score.' he thought.
Iida's eyes darted to the kid with spiky blonde hair in the front, with his legs on the desk. Iida looked uncomfortable seeing him do that.
Kirishima, who was getting bored waiting for his friend Mina, decided to introduce himself. He looked around saw the faces of everyone in the class. Amongst all of them, Kazuto was the only one who looked approachable.
So, he got up and walked to Kazuto's desk. Kazuto looked at him and Kirishima said "Hi, nice to meet you. I am Eijiro Kirishima." extending his hand forward for a handshake.
Kazuto smiled at him and said "Nice to meet you too. I am Takashi Kazuto."
When the words left his mouth, everyone in the class turned to look at him, looking at him in new light after knowing he was the first in the exam.
Kirishima said "No way! You are Takashi Kazuto, the guy who ranked first in the practical test and got more points than All Might."
Kazuto just chuckled at Kirishima's excitement. Kirishima then said "You must be insanely strong. That's crazy."
Kazuto said "I just did my best."
Asui, who was listening in on the conversation, joined in and said "Don't be modest. That was no ordinary feat. I am Tsuyu Asui by the way."
Kazuto smiled at her and said "Nice to meet you."
Kirishima and Asui started asking him various questions. Meanwhile, Todoroki was staring at Kazuto and wondered 'So, this is the No.1 in the practical test. I wonder how strong he is.'
The class was getting filled slowly and only two seats were empty. Iida was also looking at Kazuto and thought 'I shouldn't have judged him based on his looks. I should've introduced myself to everyone.'
Iida wanted to introduce himself to Kazuto, but he just couldn't stand the site of Bakugo disrespecting the UA alumni.
Iida immediately got up and walked to Bakugo. Bakugo, who was staring at Kazuto laughing and chatting with Kirishima and Asui, turned to the kid who was now standing beside him.
Iida immediately started "I am completely offended by your behaviour. How dare you keep your legs on the desk? Do you have no shame? You are disrespecting the UA alumni and the carpenters who made this desk."
Kazuto, who was talking with Kirishima and Asui, heard this and immediately went "Is that a Karen?"
Kirishima and Asui were confused and asked "What's a Karen?"
Kazuto said "Nothing. I just remembered something. You should probably get back to your seats. The class starts in a while." but in his head he said to himself "Careful man, you started speaking out your thoughts."
Asui and Kirishima agreed and went back to their seats.
Bakugo and Iida were screaming at each other when the door slid open and Midoriya was standing on the other side. Iida stopped shouting at Bakugo and walked towards Midoriya, who stiffened.
Iida said to Midoriya "I can't believe I didn't notice how the exam was set up. You figured it out."
Midoriya started trembling nervously when a girl spoke from behind him "Ah! The boy with the messy hair who is reserved."
Midoriya stiffened again and turned to look at the girl with short brown hair, Uraraka. They both were speaking when a voice interrupted them "If you want to play around and have fun, go elsewhere. This is hero course."
Iida, Midoriya and Uraraka stopped talking and turned to the source of the voice. They found a drained face poking out of a sleeping bag.
Aizawa, who was in the sleeping bag, got up and said while unzipping the sleeping bag "It took you 8 seconds to quite down. I am your teacher, Aizawa Shota."
He steps out of the sleeping bag and takes out a tshirt and track pants. He says "Wear these and meet me at the field."
Everyone got up from their seats, took their gym clothes and headed to the locker room to change. While changing, Kirishima looked at Kazuto and his physique. Kirishima screamed "Dude, how did you get such a great body?"
Mineta, who was changing, stopped and turned to Kazuto. He mumbled "Tch! Must be those muscle brain idiots." with jealousy.
Kaminari, who was beside him also agreed and it didn't take long for them to become friends.
Kazuto just smiled and replied "Just work hard". He then put on his gym clothes and headed to the field.
Everyone gathered at the field and Aizawa was already waiting for them. When everyone arrived, he announced "Today we are going to have a Quirk Assessment test."
A few students said "A Quirk Assessment test?" and Uraraka asked "No ceremony or orientation?"
Aizawa replied in his lazy drained tone "If you want to be heroes, you don't have time for those. In UA, the teachers are allowed to decide how they want to teach their kids. Also, you have been doing this since middle school right? Physics tests without your quirks."
Aizawa then turned to Kazuto and asked "Didn't you come first in the test? How far could you throw a softball in junior high?"
Kazuto replied "100 metres". This was because he didn't want to disclose his powers at that time, he just didn't give it his all in those physical tests.
Aizawa tosses him a soft ball and says "Try now with your quirk."
Kazuto walked to the circle on the field and stretched a little before taking his position. He then used all his strength, correctly using all the necessary muscles for the throw like shoulders, arms, core and legs.
Kazuto threw the ball with all his strength and the ball launched into the air, followed by a gust of wind. The ball landed after travelling for a few seconds.
Aizawa turned to the class and showed his phone where it displayed '802.5'. He said "First know your maximum limit. That's the most logical way to form a Hero's foundation."
Everyone were soon excited for the test. Kaminari said with disbelief "802.5 metres, seriously?"
Mina exclaimed "We can use our quirks, this looks fun."
"Fun, huh? Alright, whoever comes last in the eight tests will be expelled." Aizawa announced. Everyone were shocked when they heard this. A few students immediately started protesting.
Aizawa said "Japan is filled with natural disasters, unforseen accidents and cruel villains. It is completely unfair out there. A hero must overcome all of these. If you thought you could have fun with your friends you chose the wrong course. UA will continue to give our trials like these within these three years to prepare you for the future. Over and beyond, Plus ULTRA. So, give it everything you got."
The tests started and everyone's face reflected their determination and nervousness. Kazuto however had a carefree look. "Even if they actually expelled the last student, I don't have to worry about coming last." Kazuto said to himself.
He was standing at the back, waiting for his turn at the 50 meter run. Momo Yaoyorozu noticed how Kazuto was calm and whispered to him "You also figured out that he is just lying to get us to give it our all, right?"
Kazuto nodded at her. Momo then stretched out her hand and said "I am Momo Yaoyorozu. Nice to meet you."
Kazuto smiled and shook her hand. He said "Nice to meet you too. I am Takashi Kazuto."
It was Momo's turn next and she walked to the start line. Kazuto saw the race. She made herself a pair of roller skates and easily won against kaminari. She finished the race in 5.3 seconds.
Uraraka asked "Is that allowed?"
Aizawa replied "It is her quirk, so yes."
Momo walked back to where everyone was gathered. It was Kazuto's turn next, up against Kirishima and he walked to the starting line. He recieved his signal to start and he dashed towards the finish line.
When he crossed the line, the machine measuring the time reported 1.9 seconds. Kirishima then crossed the line in 7.2 seconds.
The tests continued and next was the grip test, the machine reached 999kg and broke.
Next was standing long jump and he jumped out of the sand area. The same results followed for the next tests, he left afterimages in the side step.
Next was the ball throw. Since Kazuto had already attempted it when he was first demonstrating, he didn't get to go again. This was the only place he couldn't score the highest. "There is no way I can beat her infinity score." Kazuto said to himself.
It was Midoriya's turn and it went exactly as the show, he threw it and only damaged his finger. Bakugo saw Midoriya's quirk and was pissed.
In his head, he went 'Stupid Deku doesn't have a Quirk. If he did, why was he hiding it? Why didn't he used it when I was bullying him?...Unless...he wanted me to bully him.'
Bakugo then ran towards Midoriya, with tiny explosions going off at his palms and screamed "You sick bastard".
Before Bakugo could attack him, weird bandages wrapped around him, binding his arms and face.
Aizawa said "Don't make me use my quirks so often. I have dry eyes."
"Of course, there is a catch to each and every overpowered quirk." Kazuto said to himself.
Bakugo relaxed and Aizawa let go of Bakugo. Bakugo glared at Midoriya and thought 'Tch, Deku you are just a pebble on my path. I will beat you to where you belong you sick bastard. Also, that bastard Kazuto. How strong is he? He looks like he isn't even taking this test seriously and he got the highest scores in all the tests. Damn it. Damn it...damn you all.'
Bakugo then pointed to Kazuto and screamed "Don't get cocky you bastard. I will kill you and become the No.1 hero."
Kazuto smiled at him and said "As you are now, you can't even make me use all my strength."
"What was that you bastard? Die." He again rushed towards Kazuto with explosions going off in his palms.
Aizawa sighed and was about to activate his quirk, but Kazuto beat him to it. He appeared before Bakugo and punched in the gut. Bakugo dropped to the ground and started coughing.
Aizawa then said "Stop it. Are you really looking to get expelled?"
Kazuto backed away and said "I was just defending myself."
Aizawa glared at Kazuto and then at Bakugo. He said "Bakugo, this is your last warning. Attack your fellow classmates again and you can forget about becoming a hero."
Bakugo, who had stopped coughing by then, glared at Kazuto and silently got up. The tests continued and Kazuto effortlessly got the highest scores in crunches, stretching and marathon. In the marathon, he was far from every student. Only Bakugo and Todoroki were at a visible distance.
Aizawa looked at Kazuto and thought 'He is strong, smart and has worked on his combat skills too. If he has displayed his full strength today, according to these numbers, his strength is 50% of current All might's strength. He is full of potential. Same could be said for Shoto Todoroki. As for Bakugo, he has potential, but he has to work on his attitude.'
The tests ended and Aizawa displayed the leaderboard based on the scores. To no one's surprise, Kazuto was first, followed by Bakugo and Todoroki. Bakugo clicked his tongue, which everyone heard.
Kazuto turned to Midoriya, who was having a meltdown, apologizing to All Might repeatedly. Aizawa turned off the screen and said "Oh, I was kidding about the expelling."
Everyone were shocked and some even questioned Aizawa about it. Momo said "It was obvious from the start. I can't believe me and Kazuto were the only ones who figured it out."
Aizawa then told them to change and they were allowed to go home early that day. Everyone went to the locker rooms to get changed.
After they changed back to their school uniforms, they went back to their class, got their bags and headed home. With him were Asui, Kirishima, Mina and Momo.
Kirishima introduced Mina to Kazuto and her energy was contagious. Everyone were laughing and discussing about the test.
They walked to the gate, where Momo's csr was waiting for her. She got in and waved at them, who waved back.
Kazuto, Asui, Kirishima and Mina headed to the station together, where they all went their separate ways.
While standing in the train, he said to himself "If I had to compare myself with anyone from One Piece, I would say I am almost at the level of Zoro when he first joined the Straw Hats. I still can't rest. UA is not going to be peaceful from tomorrow. I can't wait for others to protect me. I should be in a state to protect myself."
