The Professor
The professor nodded as the students filtered out, before beginning one more time. “The hallmark of every hero is that they know their strengths and weaknesses. Some of us have few weaknesses, some of us have many. However it is important to understand that no matter how many weaknesses you have, if you can overcome more weaknesses than another man even has, then you are a far stronger man than you could ever be.” The professor adjusts his tie slightly, before adding “Ladies, I use man in the sense of humans, not in the sense of your heterochromatic brethren.”
“What we will do next is very simple. The rest of today will be taken up by you students going through a number of simple tests. Where before, you were not allowed to use your quirk, now you can, for indeed the entire raison d’etre for this establishment is to train you in the use of your quirk. For example, Tori, can you please step forward.” The girl looked surprised, before doing as the professor said.
“Although some of you may not know what it is for various reasons, we are standing in front of a long-jump pit. Tori, what was your highest score when you weren’t using your quirk?” The student once again looked surprised, before saying, “I think maybe… 5.3 meters? I was always good at it regardless, but…”
The professor cut her off. “Tori, now try taking the long jump again, but you are allowed to use your quirk in any which way you please.” Tori grinned and nodded, before taking a run up, her wings flashing out and allowing her to easily glide almost three times the length of the pit with just a few beats of her wings
“Of course, not all of you will suit well to these tests! Some of your quirks will not help you, or perhaps even hinder you in your efforts. Over the course of this year, and any subsequent years you stay here, you will measure your improvements in these same tests. The ones that you excel in are irrelevant. The ones that you fail in… Those are the ones that we shall be focusing on.”
“Now, who would like to go next for the long jump?”
