Chapter 13. Running
‘Well that sure killed a lot of excitement in the air.’ Looking around, about half the class was scared, one quarter were excited, and the last quarter were terrified; Midoriya being one of them. Where was I on this board? You don’t need to know. Aizawa decided to have us run the 50 meter dash first. I was talking with Midoriya to watch my dash because I wanted to show the fruits of my training. In reality I wanted to show him something to help him grow faster. My name was called and I got up to the plates next to a floating pair of clothes.
“Hi my name is Denki Kaminari, good luck on the tests.” I say to where her face should be. “Hi my name Toru Hagakure, thanks for not staring at my chest when talking to me.” ‘Wow that kinda came out of left field. Although the more I think about it the more it makes sense.’ “I can understand why that could be off putting part of always being invisible now that you mention it. Why not wear a hair ornament that catches the eye for people to look at. Because your shirt is the highest thing that people can see.”
‘Oh, maybe I should have just minded my own business on that.’ I started to blush in embarrassment. “Sorry, that's none of my business, I’m just gonna run now.” A few seconds of awkward silence later Aizawa starts his countdown for us to run. I notice Midoriya staring intently at me, trying to see what I might do. “5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Go!”
As soon as he starts, so do I. “2nd Gear!” I screamed while my whole body started sparking, and my hair started to raise due to the static. I take off toward the finish line and make it in just over 4 seconds. As soon as I’m done I notice everyone staring at me. I went over to Midoriya whose jaw was hung open. “See? I was finally able to coat my whole being in electricity to increase my speed. I’m finally able to move the power I need, to where it needs to go.” I said with a big grin on my face.
Midoriya was quiet for a few seconds to process the information that was running around his head. ‘Probably remembering me mentioning that I had trouble controlling my power too. All he needs to do is remember this and copy it when he is ready.’ Hearing it was Midoriya's turn, next I pushed him towards the track to get ready for his race against Bakugo. ‘Man I wish I raced against him to rub it in his face that he is not the best at everything.’
While waiting for the countdown to happen my thought process was interrupted by Momo Yaoyorozu. “What exactly is your quirk if you don’t mind me asking?” I was a bit surprised she took the initiative to talk to me. ‘I guess this girl can’t deal with an unanswered question.’ I smirk and take notice of how most of my classmates were listening for an answer. Just then I heard a loud snap, or bang. Then wind pressure that could only come from one student. I turned around in shock only to see Midoriya limping towards me, with a grin on his face seeing the surprise in mine. ‘I never expected this.’
He finally hobbles over to me while others make way for him. “I will overtake you and become a hero everybody can be proud of!” My face slowly changed from shock to awe. Both me and Aizawa said “This kid…” under our breaths.
