MHA : QUIRK EVOLUTION

At the same time, Ryukyu's assistant wasn't idle.

After returning to the scene, she immediately began investigating Ezaki Kitazawa's background.

Given their status, finding out information on Ezaki Kitazawa was a piece of cake for them.

"Ryukyu, I've finished checking into the matter you asked about. Except for his parents being professional heroes, everything else is pretty normal, just like any other person."

The assistant said as she silently handed over the newly gathered information.

Ryukyu took it, glanced over the details, and then fell into deep thought.

"Maybe I was just being paranoid. There might have been other people there at the time." Ryukyu speculated.

"I think so too. It was probably just a coincidence. I don't even think his abilities are as good as mine." The assistant joked from the side.

Ryukyu shot her a glance and replied, "Looks like I was overthinking it. His parents are professional heroes, so his mentality must be better than most. Alright, let's forget about it. You can go ahead and get back to work."

"Got it, Ryukyu." 

...

Back with Ezaki Kitazawa.

Since his parents got the news about him being recommended to U.A., they were overjoyed.

The next morning, they woke him up early and repeatedly reminded him not to disappoint them.

"Listen, just stay calm like usual. Do whatever they ask you to do, and don't get nervous. If you do, it'll be easy to mess up, understand?" Ezaki Junsei advised.

"Your dad's right. This opportunity was hard-earned by both of us. Don't waste it," Ezaki Meiko said earnestly.

Ezaki Kitazawa nodded quickly, as they had been repeating this since last night.

Most importantly, they also made him dress well, telling him to leave a good impression.

Of course, Ezaki Kitazawa knew that as long as he was strong enough, it didn't matter how he looked—what they were saying didn't matter much.

...

U.A. School.

Training Field.

"You must be Ezaki Kitazawa!" Aizawa Shouta said, holding a list in his hand as he looked at Ezaki Kitazawa.

"Yes!"

"There are four spots for recommended students. Of course, you have to earn this spot, but before that, you need to qualify for it."

"I've looked over your profile. Your Quirk is very ordinary, so it'll be a bit difficult to earn this spot. But even if you don't get this spot, don't be discouraged. You can still take the U.A. entrance exam."

Aizawa Shouta spoke calmly. In his eyes, a very common Quirk, if not fully developed, made earning this spot a tough challenge.

"If you don't pass this test, you won't need to apply for the recommended student spot again. No matter how many times you apply, the result will always be the same." The principal explained from the side.

"Got it, we understand." Ezaki Meiko nodded.

If they didn't pass this time, they wouldn't apply again. After all, while helping their son succeed was important, they couldn't be blind about it.

"Alright, so, what do I need to do, teacher?" Ezaki Kitazawa asked, standing in the middle.

"Hmm? Your profile says your physical fitness is good, so you don't need to do any physical tests. Let's get straight to it. Just show us how your Quirk works. If, as your profile says, all you can do is create fire with little attack power, then there's no need to test it. A Quirk like that doesn't meet the requirements for a recommended spot."

Aizawa Shouta said calmly. His words may seem harsh, but they were for both their benefit. If Ezaki Kitazawa didn't have the ability, there was no reason to waste time.

"I'm a bit slow, and I may not be able to demonstrate much on my own. Would you mind sparring with me, teacher, and giving me some guidance? I believe that would be more effective than just trying it on my own," Ezaki Kitazawa said calmly.

Aizawa Shouta hesitated for a few seconds after hearing this, then spoke up. "Alright, in one minute, if you don't earn my approval, how about we call you unqualified? One minute should be enough to show your Quirk."

Ezaki Kitazawa didn't think twice and replied, "Alright!"

Ezaki Meiko and the others looked at him with some concern.

"Enough wasting time, let's get started!" Aizawa Shouta said.

As soon as he finished speaking, purple flames started to burn from Ezaki Kitazawa's hands, and in the blink of an eye, they spread all over his body.

Seeing this, Ezaki Kitazawa's parents were stunned.

"What's... going on here?"

"Purple... purple flames?"

"What happened? Why... does it look like this?"

"We've never seen this before when testing him. But today... the flames are purple. Could he have been hiding something from us?"
