TADASAKIBARA REN
Standing there, he was more or less watching his students take their turn in throwing the ball in combination with their Quirk. The first one up was the recommended student, Matsuda, Yuzuki. Ren knew a great deal about her background, and her relationship with her grandfather. His eyes narrowed down on her, noticing the way she her speed by passing it over to the ball, but obviously, with a rather unorthodox way of 'throwing' the ball. He smirked. '
Matsuda Yuzuki.. Good use of your imagination.'
Though he assumed her arm would be feeling some pain. Almost all if not every Quirk his student used, had some drawbacks that could harm them. The sleepyhead was up next. Even if her Quirk was useless in their current test, he knew that there would be many opportunites for her to use it in the future. Despite that, he could see that she wouldn't let that drag her back. She used her utmost strength to throw the ball, which was commendable in his book. This is how it should be.
Mizokumaru, Renji was up next. His ability to manipulate vibration and to pass his voice over to it in order to amplify such vibrations was impressive, and unique. However, he was having some hard to use it in combination with his throw. At this point, their homeroom teacher had pulled up his boook. Even if he was reading it, he kept his eyes on him. Once he threw the ball like a pitcher, he could notice that the ball was vibrating. Heck, the pebbles on the surface was shaking ever so slightly not so long ago. The vibrations must've gone into overdrive, giving the ball a 'boom' three times to extend the length it was thrown. The state it was in though, was not good.
"
I would have liked to have that ball in one piece though.. Try to focus more on your Quirk in order to control it.." Ren knew that he had keep his Quirk in check, but despite that, a smile was plastered on his face. This wasn't so bad either, but could've been better if the ball was not torn up.
Amanar, Maria had a unique Quirk, and possible the weirdest one he had seen today, however, she used her with to keep the ball longer in the air, and further than some of the others. That Grimoire, and those dolls, but also the wires she can produce. Ren wanted to see how she would react against someone who could get up close. He had to test his students in many ways, and this was only the beginning. "
Not bad.."
Fuchizaki, Suzu was up next. One of the top students since the entrance exam. Even if he was sharing his spot with Azuha, Shouya, he would likely win if they were up close. Though his lack of control over his Quirk made him a danger to the others. One of the reasons why Ren was keeping his eyes on him. He threw the ball though, and as far as he could. He transformed his throwing arm to that of a demon's. It again, reminded Ren that it is vital for him to focus by honing his control over such Quirk, however if his emotions got the best of him, he'd have to step in. "
That went quite far.. Good job, Fuchizaku, Suzu."
Matsuoka, Momoko. Yes, it was her turn now. Despite her nervous attitude back in the classroom, he knew that her Quirk was quite devastating. She threw the ball up in the air, and used her screeching Quirk to take everyone by surprise. Ren, however, was not. He squinted his golden eyes, keep his gaze fixated on her. The glass windows trembled at her voice, but she was lucky none was shattered into pieces. "
Matsuoka, Momoko, you have much to learn. You need to be aware of your surroundings. If you were working with another pro hero out there in public, what of him?"
A rather carefree expression was plastered on his face, but he was looking forward to another upcoming text in about a week, give or take. Still, there were a few students left to throw the ball. The next on the top of the ranking board for the time being was Azuha, Shouya. '
Now what will you use?' Curious, Ren was wondering if he'd use his lightning or black smoke.
At this point, the former was likely the best suited for the job. Not to his suprise, that is exactly what Azuha, Shouya did. Much like Suzu, he allowed lightning to cover his left arm, but especially his hand. It was a simple throw, but because of his Quirk, it packed some electrifying strength that sent the ball flying. Ren kept his eyes fixated on its length, and how far it got. However, Matsuda, Yuzuki was the only one who had a ball thrown into the air the fastest.
Sunemizuki, Tagaki, who had a rather unique Quirk, but one that was also devastating at mid or close range. That's what Ren would expect from it anyway. Though she was likely the first student who would top anyone else in using the most unorthodox way to get the ball up in the air. The length of her hair. A trebuchet, and just like that, the ball was up, up and away.
"
Well, this is surprising." Closing his book, he continued. "
Looks like something a student from the support class would do."
"
Either you stay behind while working with another hero out there, and use something similar to this to keep your opponent, or a villain in check.. Or, if you do fight a villain, they would likely not give you the opportunity to make a trebuchet out of your hair."
"
Keep in mind that this is something you can do alone if you're smart, or if you're working with someone else.. But it did go far."
'
Nishinoya, Ayesha... Has something in common with All Might..' There was something about her Quirk that would remind Ren about the latter. Their homeroom teacher did enjoy the enthusiasm and the determination behind her voice before she threw the ball. It went far, really far.
'
How much of it did she use?' Ren wanted to see how far she could go with her Quirk, but only time would tell, and he'd be there during each step, if he could, that is.
The prankster, Canabela, Carlos was up next. Ren watched him carefully, wondering how he would throw the ball. "
Others are waiting Carlos. This is not a circus." Spinning around before throwing the ball. It was weird, alright, but thus far, he hadn't learn the true meaning of their Academy.
A sigh escaped his lips, watching him leave. "
Alright, Kamimasu, Ryoku, you're up."
Another student with an odd Quirk, but he had seen similar in the past, but this was quite different. His body was manipulated, or especially his throwing arm. Sending it flying away a good distance, Ren was again, impressed. His quirk would probably be used to hide in tight spaces, or to help get some information from afar. Not bad.
The last one up was the student who arrived late. Katsumi, Himura. He could teleport from A to B. He used that exact strategy to throw his ball as far as he could.Teleporting twice to increase his distance from the surface, he threw the ball while up in the air. Ren looked at the line they were not supposed to pass, and so far, he was right behind it. Once he returned to the surface. Ren spoke up. "
Well. If you were curious.. You were behind the line.. Now go and run a few laps over there."
His students were done throwing the ball, but they would get back to this test in the near future. To see how much they've developed as heroes. Walking over to the track field, some of his students were exhausted, while others were on their way there. "
You can all stop now... I mean, you don't really believe I'd be letting you run thirty laps? Altough I want to."
"
Anyhow, next up is grip strength. Once were done there, we'll be returning to the locker rooms. You can take a shower and get freshened up before we return to class. Don't forget that you will be taking normal classes like other students in a normal Academy as well. Do not expect that you'll only learn how to control your Quirk and to become a hero who can protect the people out there."
Once his students listened and did the grip strength test, they returned to class sometime later.
___________________________
A week later.
The students had been given appropriate information. Today was a big day, and they were told that it would all be explained by the teacher who would be observing and be there during the test. His name was Nishio, Yoshihito. They would be meeting up with him at Ground Beta. They were also told by their homeroom teacher to use their hero outfits, but only if they needed or used one.
It was time for Battle Trial. Now this test would help the Academy to see how well they would fare against villains, and vice versa. Though the one overseeing the test would be Nishio, Yoshihito. Ren would also be there, but only to observe his students.
Ground Beta is a training course that emulates a standard urban area, with streets and buildings. Several of its buildings also contain monitoring rooms in their basements, where indoor exercises can be observed.
This test would be indoors as well.
