《My Hero Academia: Pathway to the Top》Chapter 4 - Changes and Before Battle Training
Advertisement
After Hayato's magnificent display of power, Izuku was up next. He walked up to the throwing area and looked incredibly nervous. Once he arrived, he picked up a softball and got into a throwing stance. He threw the ball with all his strength and--
"46m"
--was all he got. Hayato knew that Aizawa-sensei had canceled Izuku's quirk with his quirk's power [Erasure]. Izuku seemed shocked by what happened and turned to Aizawa-sensei. As he saw Izuku looking at him, Aizawa-sensei started talking "If you become immobile after one ball throw, then you don't deserve to be a hero. It's as simple as that."
Hearing what he said, Izuku was in despair as he didn't understand how to do it, after about a minute he realized what he had to do. He got another softball and got into another throwing stance.
He started to throw the ball and when the last finger was the only thing touching the ball, electric crackled around the finger as a low thrumming was apparent in the air. As the quirk powered finger pushed against the ball, it shot into the air with furious abandon.
Aizawa-sensei looked at the phone in his hand and it showed the number 705.3m. Izuku looked over at Aizawa-sensei and spoke "Sensei, I can still move!" he said this with a shaky but determined smile on his face and flexed his fingers into a fist, along with the broken and bruised one. Seeing his determination, Aizawa-sensei said "This kid...!" he spoke with a slightly manic smile on his face, seemingly pleased with how Izuku worked his way out of the situation he was in.
Seeing that Izuku had some kind of quirk, Katsuki was shaking in either anger or surprise. Without waiting, Katsuki charged at Izuku trying to hit him or do something else. But Hayato activated his quirk and stood between the two of them.
"Katsuki, calm down. Now." Hayato spoke in a very out of character voice, it was incredibly stern and as he looked at Katsuki who wasn't stopping, he shook his head as he stepped forward.
"Kurgh!"
Hayato had planted a fist right into Katsuki's stomach. "I said to calm down, Katsuki," Hayato spoke in a calm voice but in truth, his was quite angry with Katsuki.
'Goddamn, why does he always have to be so hot-headed? I get that he feels Izuku's been playing him for a fool since we were kids, but come on, at least try and talk without explosions coming out of your hands every once in a while.'
Katsuki was kneeling down on the floor, with a hand on his stomach and his other hand placed on the floor with small crackling sounds accompanied by smoke coming off of it. Aizawa-sensei decided to step in at this moment and activated his quirk on both Hayato and Katsuki.
Hayato felt the augmented muscles on his body slither back into his body and return to normal. While the small sounds and smoke coming from Katsuki's hand stopped. Aizawa-sensei spoke soon after "Both of you, stop it. You're both wasting my time, whoever's up next, go up."
Izuku and Hayato walked around Katsuki and back towards the group where Kendo and Kirishima asked if Hayato was okay, to which he nodded his head. While Ochaco wanted to help Izuku with his finger, to which Hayato smirked and said "Izuku would love it if you helped him, Ochaco-san." hearing what he said, Izuku went bright red and tried to deny it but Ochaco wasn't having any of it and helped him check how bad the injury is.

Kendo did the test next and instead of her hand becoming abnormally big like her quirk in the show, her entire arm got much bigger and she threw the ball and got a score of 540m. Ochaco took away the gravity for the ball and got an infinite score seeing as the ball never landed again. Kirishima threw the ball but as his quirk isn't suited for intense bursts of power, he threw it around 220m.
When Kendo came back over, Hayato asked her about her quirk. She replied by saying that her quirk was called [Transformative Hands and Arms] which allows her to change her arms/hands into many different things, unlike her quirk in the show which was called [Big Hands] which only let her make her hands bigger. Hayato now knew how she got into class 1-A as her quirk now was quite powerful.
After this, Hayato and the others went onto the next tests, which were Sit-ups, Long Distance Running and Seated Toe-Touch. Hayato didn't put much effort into these tests as it would just waste his energy. He ended up first in the sit-ups, 4th in the Long Distance Running and Hayato wasn't sure if there even were any places for the Seated Toe-touch because everyone could do it.
The overall ranks were as such:
1.Tagami Hayato
2.Todoroki Shoka
3.Yaoyorozu Momo
4.Bakugo Katsuki
5.Iida Tenya
6.Kendo Itsuka
7.Tokoyami Fumikage
8.Ojiro Mashiroa
9.Kirishima Eijiro
10.Ashido Mina
.
.
.
20. Midoriya Izuku
(Author note: I'm too lazy to put all their names here.)
Hayato looked at the ranking with a pleased look on his face. But he saw something weird.
'Todoroki Shoka? Isn't it supposed to be Shoto?'
After thinking about this, Hayato looked around the class of students and finally found a person with hair that was half white half red. But there was something different.
'Man, Todoroki has really let his hair...grow long...oh god.'
Hayato was looking at a girl version of Todoroki. He was a bit gobsmacked because she was absolutely beautiful regardless of the scar on her face. Hayato wondered why he didn't see this sooner but shrugged it off as him not paying enough attention and daydreaming about food.
While Hayato was busy staring at Todoroki, Aizawa-sensei spoke to the class "No one's getting expelled. It was all just rational deception to make you guys try your hardest." hearing this everyone let out a breath of relief. Especially Izuku.
"Go change and then go to the classroom and pick up a syllabus and read it over for tomorrow. Oh and Midoriya, take this and go to recovery girl to get your finger sorted out." Aizawa-sensei spoke in a tired voice and then walked away. Everyone did what he said and got changed back into his or her school uniforms and picked up a syllabus from the classroom.
Hayato picked up a syllabus for Izuku and walked over to the infirmary. He got there just as Izuku was walking out of it, so he passed him the syllabus.
As the two of them were walking out of the school, Hayato saw the now, cold beauty Todoroki Shoka. He was going to go up to her but he knew that she'd probably shut him down instantly, so he just kept talking to Izuku about the tests and what he thinks they're gonna be doing tomorrow.
Soon after they left the school though, Iida Tenya came up to Izuku to talk to him. Hayato looked at Iida and saw a tall, dark blue haired youth. He wore rectangular glasses and had a serious expression on his face as he spoke about how he didn't approve of Aizawa-sensei's way of teaching.

When Hayato was about to get bored, Kendo came out of now where and pat him on the back to get his attention. They both spoke about a multitude of things and even traded numbers so they could keep in contact out of school.
"Heeeey! Wait up!" Hayato heard Ochaco speaking behind him and the others so he turned around and saw her running towards them with someone else. When Hayato got a closer look at whom Ochaco was running with, his face paled.
'Why is she here? Jesus Christ, what else has changed!'
It was Toga Himiko, the crazy girl who loved Izuku and wanted to kill him or torture him, she's all sorts of messed up. She was a petite girl, who was about the same height as Ochaco and had blonde hair with yellow eyes. Hayato would think she was a pretty cute girl if he didn't know how mentally unstable she was.
"Midoriya-kun! Is your finger all right now?" Ochaco asked with concern which seemed to light Izuku up like a red light. He simply nodded, showing her his finger in bandages. After doing so, he saw that Hayato was staring at Toga and also looked at her with curiosity.
Ochaco grasped that they were curious and introduced the 'innocent' looking girl "This is Toga Himiko, she's a student from our class. Toga-san, this is Midoriya-kun, Iida-kun, and Tagami-kun."
'How did I not see this when I was in the class!? I need to be more alert.'
Toga looked happy that she had access to new friends but Hayato was still cautious of her. He was willing to give her a chance because his dad was Muscular, a villain who killed many people in the show but he just couldn't be sure if Toga was different or this was a plan to infiltrate U.A.
After greeting each other, Hayato and the others started walking towards the station to go back home. On the way, Kendo and Ochaco spoke to Toga, Hayato reluctantly joined in with conversation when Kendo dragged him into it by discussing his strength and asking what his quirk is.
"My quirk is a mixture of a few but I call it the [Oni] quirk. And my appearance fits the name." Hayato pointed to his black Oni horns and his tall, muscular body.
After that, Hayato was a bit on edge as Toga showed more interest in him then Izuku and she kept speaking to him. To bring the others into the conversation he asked the group a question.
"Do you guys fancy going to get something to eat? To like, I don't know, celebrate our first day at U.A. it'll be on me either way." Hayato spoke to the group with a wry smile on his face but kept a confident look in his eyes. After having a strong quirk for 15 years, he became quite confident in himself.
Everyone but Iida agreed to it.
'Iida-kun! Why!? There were 3 boys and 3 girls, I could've tried to pawn Toga off on you so she'd stop annoying me! Now I and Izuku are outnumbered!'
As Hayato lamented mentally, he waved goodbye to Iida and walked with the others to a family restaurant. When they arrived, they sat in a booth. Unluckily, Hayato was stuck between Toga and Kendo or he was lucky, depending on how you thought about it.
Hayato had a lot of pocket money as his parents were pro-heroes and had their own agencies so he was intent on getting a lot of food because after the Quirk Apprehension Test he was quite hungry.
While the others only ordered a dish and a desert, Hayato ordered enough food to feed them all but ate it all himself. Everyone at the booth and the surrounding tables was in awe of his ability to eat.
"Wow, Tagami-kun you eat so much? Well you know what they say about people who eat a lot~" Toga said this in a playful voice which made Kendo laugh. (I'll describe this in the author note xD)
"Toga-san, please don't." Hayato put on a pitiful expression as he begged her to stop but that only made her smile even further, so Hayato wiped the expression off of his face and ate more food. Toga and Kendo started talking more and more and Hayato tried to keep his head down and not hear anything they were talking about because most of it was about him and they were doing it to tease him.
After about an hour they all got up and went home, Toga and Kendo went on a different train and Hayato and the two soon-to-be lovebirds, Izuku and Ochaco, went on a different train. Before he knew it, Hayato was home and lying on his bed looking through his syllabus. After skimming through it a few times, Hayato went to sleep.
When he woke up, Hayato got changed into his uniform, did his morning routine of eating and then brushing his teeth and walked to Izuku's house so they could go to U.A.. When he got to Izuku's, Izuku was already waiting outside. When he saw Hayato he waved in greeting and they went to school.
The morning was boring and Hayato had to use his quirk to keep his back upright otherwise he would've slumped over onto his desk and slept. The morning lessons in the Hero Course consist of either Math, English, Modern Literature or Modern Hero Art History. After these lessons were Hayato's favorite time; Lunchtime. Hayato stuffed himself with as much food as he could and when he wasn't doing that, he was speaking to Izuku an Iida.
After this it was time for the class which every aspiring hero had to take; Heroics.
As Hayato was sitting in class, looking out the window and ignoring Toga who kept poking him, All Might burst through the door saying "I.AM.HERE! Coming through the door like a hero!" and everyone got incredibly excited about seeing All Might, the number 1 hero in the world. While Hayato was trying not to laugh.
'Coming through the door like a hero? Hahaha! Who says that?'
Stifling his laughter, Hayato tried to listen to All Might. "Welcome to the most important class at U.A High! Think of it as hero-ing 101 because here, you'll be learning the basics of being a pro-hero!" hearing what he said everyone was murmuring things and getting really excited.
All Might apparently had more to say "And today's training will pull no punches!" as he said this he pulled out a pretty big card that had "BATTLE!" written on it. Hayato could hear Bakugo getting excited about fighting and Hayato felt quite excited himself.
Seeing that All Might had more to say, Hayato shook his head wondering why All Might had to be so dramatic all the time. "But one of the keys to be a hero ISSSSS! LOOKIN' GOOD!" as he finished his sentence he pointed towards a wall and panels came out of it, seemingly with the uniforms they had designed for them.
"Now, get yourself suited up and meet me at battleground Beta!" All Might seemed incredibly excited for some reason.
"YES, SIR!" Was he reply from the class.
After getting changed into his hero costume he walked out of the tunnel with the others. Hayato's costume looked a lot similar to Stain the Hero Killer's. It had a black skin tight armored vest, with black army pants and black army boots. He also had a red scarf around his neck that fell all the way to his waist. Along with this, he had a tight-fitting mask over the bottom on his face, similar to what Ninja's sometimes have, with bandages tightly wound around his arms all the way up to his shoulders.
If anything, Hayato looked like some sort of ninja. The bandages were similar to Aizawa-sensei's capture weapon and were made out of a similar thing. Hayato had them because he was a close combat fighter and if he couldn't drag the person and keep them near him, he'd get beaten by long-range attacks.
After everyone else came out of the tunnel, All Might explained that they were going to be battling against each other in teams of two. Two teams would go against each other with different goals, the Hero team had to find the nuclear bomb the Villain team is hiding or they have to capture the Villain team with capture tape. While the Villain team has to protect the bomb or defeat/capture the Hero team. These fights will be inside a building and the teams will be picked through lots.
When they decided the teams, Hayato got teamed with Todoroki, while Izuku was teamed with Ochaco, Iida was teamed with Bakugo, Kendo was teamed with Toga. (These are the important teams anyway, as they involve the main friends of the Mc.)
Hayato was quite excited about being teamed with Todoroki and wanted to bring her into his friends' group as he knew he could help her out with a few of her problems at home. Well, if they were still problems in this alternate world.
"Well, then, Let's pick who's who!" All Might's boisterous voice knocked Hayato out of his thought process, so he listened to who was going first.
"The Villain team is...Hayato and Todoroki! While the Hero team is Kendo and Toga!" All Might announced the teams and the Battle was soon to be on.
