Diverting your plot

Sup yall! I'd like to apologize for posting this chapter later than usual, it's just that I had a lot of school work to do. I'd also like to apologize for this chapter being shorter than usual.

The reign of fellow simps is growing! Hope yall enjoy today's chapter!

Shinsou was standing in front of the gate of the ridiculously big area where the promising students are supposed to fight and destroy robots.

Shinsou didn't exactly expect to pass, but he thought he could at least do something to try and achieve his dream. In the written test he did great, he knew it. Now it was only a matter of passing the physical test and that was it. He paled when a loud, eccentric hero explained what the exam would be about.

Oh, so people like him don't even get a chance.

It's in that moment he realized that no amount of training would ever let him win this kind of exam. As if the world wasn't already making fun of him for his quirk, now there's this.

Hearing the rules felt like a bad joke directed to him. No using your quirk against others? What is he supposed to do, brainwash the wall? Seriously, they must have done it on purpose at this point. He has no chances of passing this exam even if he was fighting alone. Imagine having to compete against all the other students.

Those with emitter quirks will win this exam without breaking a sweat. He can already see them fly and shoot whatever their dumb quirk allows them to create or manipulate. Like usual, they'll be in the spotlight and praised. While he will remain in the shadows, forgotten.

Perhaps, that's how it's supposed to be. Every obstacle in his way is proof that he's not on the others' level and he will never be. Perhaps people are right, he's more fitted to be a villain. He's very tempted to just leave before the exam starts, but at this point he's already in front of the gate and he might as well try.

He doesn't regret trying.

Not because of the result of the exam, no. It went even worse than he imagined, he couldn't do anything other than watch with envy those students who used their quirks to get what they wanted.

He doesn't regret it because he met someone... different.

If Shinsou hadn't seen the girl in action, he would have said she was weak. He would have betted he could take her down in a fight even with no training. But since he saw her take down robots with just one combat knife, since he saw her surpass other students, since she was the one who saved him from that monstrosity of a robot; he knows that girl is just different.

He got a chance to talk to her when that same loud eccentric Pro hero from before announced the end of the ten minutes, meaning the exam was over and he had lost his chance.

When he first talked to her, he wasn't pleased at all. He was in a bad mood after failing the exam for something that isn't his fault. He didn't want to talk to some entitled girl who must brag about her quirk at school, that ego probably being her most prominent and only personality trait.

Her speed and agility must have been some good emitter quirk, perhaps even just a mutation quirk. It's not possible for someone to reach that level of agility without help from genetics. That was the only logical explanation in his mind. In a society made by mostly quirk users, it's easy to assume things like this.

He didn't even fathom the idea that she would understand his situation.

When she asked him if he was fine, he tried pushing her away. But she was stubborn and kind enough to care about his current feelings, so he just gave in and told her the truth. That being said, he did horribly at the exam and he won't pass in the hero course for sure, so he won't see her again. Might as well tell her and hope she's not as judgemental as some others.
