"GET YOUR FEET OFF OF THE DESK!" Iida demanded the punk, Bakugo.

"Why don't you make me, you extra?" Bakugo mocked.

Their argument was really getting on Laura's nerves. She's been trying to mentally prepare for her first day at UA High in peace, but the moral compass and the punk kept disrupting that, making her cringe her teeth.

"A hundred students in this school, and I'm sharing a class with the two loudest idiots I've met in this world?" she thought to herself. "Well, it could be worse. I'd probably share a class with that purple freak at the entrance exam. Thank goodness he didn't make the cut."

Laura's eyes then caught someone coming into the class. She was surprised to see the first friend she made, and he was surprised to see her too.

"Laura?"

"Midoriya? What are you doing here?"

"Midoriya?" Iida asked as he approached the curly-haired boy. "You knew didn't you?"

"Uh… knew what?" Midoriya asked.

"I had no idea the true intent of the practical exam, and yet, somehow, you did." Iida said. "That is why you took on that zero-pointer faux villain, is it not? I admit it; I misjudged you. You clearly were the superior candidate."

His face indicated that he had no idea what Iida was talking about, but Laura didn't care. She approached Izuku.

"You defeated a zero-pointer?" Laura asked in shock. "How? You told me you didn't have a Quirk."

"Well… I guess I'm a late bloomer." Izuku said nervously.

"What is up with him?" Laura asked. "He's obviously hiding something, and there's something up with him. He smells similar to… All Might. But that can't be."

Suddenly, the door opened with a cheerful-looking girl. She looked at Izuku and smiled.

"Hey, it's you! Just like Present Mic said, you got in!"

"Hi there!" Izuku said with a blush on his face.

"My name is Ochako Uraka. I can't wait for us all to be friends."

"If that's all you're here for, then this is no place for you."

Everyone was caught by surprise by the sleepy-looking man laying in a sleeping bag. He slowly got up and unzipped the bag while everyone got in their seats. He had a glum tone.

"It took you all eight seconds to be quiet when I arrived. Time is a precious resource. Do better next time. My name is Shota Aizawa, your new homeroom teacher. Now, follow me so we can change into our gym gear and head outside."


In the courtyard, everyone was in a gym uniform, even Laura. Her outfit matched the other boys and girls. Bakugo was told to stand in the middle of a circle with a baseball in his hand. Aizawa told them what they were going to do…

"A test of Quirks?" all the students asked in surprise.

"Mr. Aizawa, no offense, but this doesn't make any sense." Laura said. "Don't we have an entrance ceremony? Orientation?"

"Kid, that stuff's a waste of time in the hero course." Aizawa explained. "We members of the staff are free to use a freestyle teaching method. Now, I assume you all have done some physical activity in middle school with Quirk restrictions. That's part of the law, but it's a real procrastination if you ask me. Bakugo, how far could you throw in middle school without your Quirk?"

"About sixty-seven meters." Bakugo answered.

"I want you to throw it using your Quirk." Aizawa said. "Use whatever you need to, but don't leave this circle."

"Awesome." Bakugo said confidently. He prepared to throw a pitch and swung his arm as hard as he could. With his Quirk, he boosted his throw with a large explosion right behind it. Everyone was staring while the shockwave sent some of the smoke in their direction, except for Aizawa who was measuring Bakugo's throw with his device.

"705.2 meters." He said. "It's important for us to know our limits. That's the first rational step into discovering what kind of heroes you'll be. I will be giving you all eight physical exams with which you can use your Quirks however you see fit. But don't think this is all fun and games. I will be giving you scores based on your performances. And the student who ends up having the lowest total score will be judged as hopeless and will be expelled."

"WHAAAAAAT?!" everyone asked in fear and shock.

"But that's unfair!" Ochako protested.

"Out in the real world, there are plenty of villains and natural disasters that will put you in unfair situations." Aizawa said. "I am not going to be lenient with you, even if you are kids. You may have passed the entrance exam, but if you don't pass this physical exam, the only future you will have will be hanging around in McDonald's. And believe it or not, the next three years in this school will be just as stressful. That's Plus Ultra. So don't hold back."

Laura knew she was going through a stressful situation, but she had a mission that she was determined to see through. If she was going to complete the Beyonder's assignment, she had to start by passing this exam.


Laura knew the 50-Meter Dash was no trouble. With her advanced fitness due to her adamantium skeleton, she was put in the middle ranking while some of the others were using creative methods with their Quirks to come out ahead.

The second event was for grip strength. Again, with her metal bones in her knuckles, she could pass it no problem. The third event was a long jump. Laura almost made it on the other side of the sand pit. The fourth event was side-to-side jumping. She wasn't as good at that, but there were others that were worse.

The fifth event came when it was time to throw the softball. Using her Quirk, Laura was able to go slightly over average of Aizawa's expectations. Of course, she was among others who were shocked when Ochako's Quirk-infused ball didn't come down and Aizawa labeled her distance with an infinity symbol.

The last one to throw the softball was Izuku Midoriya. Laura had been watching him in the other events and felt sorry for his poor performance. He wasn't doing as well as the others. His scores were just about as average as it could get. This may be his opportunity to turn it around.

"Deku's got no chance." Bakugo said. "Without a Quirk, he'll be out of this school in no time."

"Are you sure?" Laura asked confusingly. "But Midoriya told me earlier that he had a Quirk. And he did something amazing at the entrance exam."

"What?" Bakugo asked equally as confused.

Everyone fell silent as soon as Izuku struck his pose. He looked like he was about to go the distance. He threw it…

…And it only went as far as 46 meters, about as average as it could get. Everyone was confused, but Midoriya looked like he was inside of a nightmare.

"I erased your Quirk." Aizawa said as he removed his scarf. His hair hovered in the air, his eyes were blazing red, and around his neck were a pair of goggles. "How the ridiculous entrance exam allowed someone like you into this school is beyond me."

"Did he just say erased?" Iida asked. "Than… it's him!"

"Him who?" Laura asked.

"It's the Erasure Hero, Eraser Head!" answered a student named Yaoyorozu. "His Quirk allows him to nullify other Quirks just by looking at their user."

"I've never heard of him." Laura said.

"That's because he hates the media." Another student named Tsuyu said. "Says it interferes with his work."

"Then why'd he stop Izuku." Laura said.

"Because he cant' control his Quirk." Aizawa answered. "Midoriya, I saw you after you used it at your entrance exam. After you used it, you were incapacitated. You were lucky the school nurse had healing powers, but she's not here right now, is she?"

"But… it's not like that." Izuku pleaded.

"The way you use your power would not only hinder yourself, but others around you." Aizawa scolded. "You've got the same recklessness as a certain other hero who kept making a name of himself, but if you can only save one person with that power, it would be impossible for you to be a hero! I gave you back your Quirk so you can have another go, but heed my advice."

Aizawa squeezed some eyedrops on his eyeballs while Izuku was left thinking. Laura could tell there was something on his mind."

"Incapacitated?" Laura thought. "What does he mean by that?"

Izuku got into position and set up another throw. He made another pitch as he wound his arm back and thrusted it overhead. Laura watched the ball, but was surprised at what happened next. At the last second, right before the ball left contact with his hand, his finger started to glow as it finished the throw. Suddenly, the ball darted out of the field in a surprising show of force. All that was left was Izuku with a black, burned, swollen finger. Everyone was surprised, even Aizawa, who measured the ball throw at 705.3 meters.

"Mr. Aizawa…" Izuku said holding in on the pain. "I can still move."

"Yes." Aizawa said slowly turning his shock into pride. "Yes, you can."

While the other kids were shocked and proud for Izuku, Laura kept thinking to herself.

"That force! I felt it before! It's just like when All Might saved me from that sludge monster! But how…" Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. She stared at Izuku and an idea kept coming.


It was crazy after that Izuku's throw. Bakugo tried to attack, Izuku, but Aizawa stopped him. At the end of the exam, Laura got fifth place while Izuku got last place, but Aizawa changed his mind about expelling anyone. He told everyone it was just a rational deception, but Laura knew he had every intention of expelling someone.

After the exam, Izuku went to see the nurse, Recovery Girl, and Laura followed. When Izuku was healed and he left the infirmary, he ran into Laura who was waiting for him.

"Oh, hey, Laura." Izuku chuckled nervously. "Crazy day, right?"

"I'd like an explanation." Laura demanded. "It's just us, so no one else would know."

"About what?" Izuku asked.

"When we met, you didn't have a Quirk. Then, today, you have one. When I was rescued by All Might, the force I felt was similar to the one I felt when you threw that softball. And after All Might said you could be a hero, he sent me away so he could have a private chat with you. Either that's a crazy coincidence or…"

Laura saw the nervousness growing in Izuku's eyes.

"So it's true." Laura said. "All Might gave…"

"I AM HERE!" All Might showed up from out of nowhere in his teacher's uniform. "MS. KINNEY, MR. MIDORIYA, LET'S TALK SOMEWHERE FOR NO REASON!"

He grabbed both Laura and Izuku and dragged them to an empty classroom against their will. As soon as he closed the door, he poofed. Suddenly, he was reverted back to his skinny form.

"Sorry about that." All Might said. "I know no one was there, but you should learn to be a bit more careful."

"So I was right?" Laura asked. "Your Quirk…"

"Is now Midoriya's." All Might said.

"Sorry, Laura." Midoriya apologized.

"Only a handful of people today know about it." All Might said. "Now, you're among them. My Quirk, One For All, is a rare Quirk that can be passed one from one person to another. My master gave it to me, and I chose to give it to Midoriya. The problem is, despite his ten months of training, his body's not used to using it."

"And that's how your finger got broken." Laura deduced.

"Pretty much." Izuku said.

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone about this, Ms. Kinney." All Might said. "If people knew that my Quirk could be transferred, we'd have a riot on our hands."

"I understand." Laura said. "And what about lasting effects? Should Izuku be worried about anything bad?"

"Don't worry about it." All Might said. "Whatever bad thing comes with that Quirk, I took care of it. So why don't you two go one home. If you thought today was a real trial, just wait until tomorrow."

Laura and Midoriya understood and left the school. They said bye to each other just before turning around to their respective homes. During the walk, a few thoughts crossed through Laura's mind.

"This doesn't make sense. I arrive on this world and shortly after, I meet the number one hero who then decides to give his power to someone else I met on that day. Either this has some kind of meaning behind it or there's some kind of cosmic force at play…" She stopped herself and growled. "That jerk."
