Itachi gave him a sidelong glance, his expression as calm as ever. "Perhaps you should start reading them. They might improve your way of thinking."

Keigo chuckled nervously, rubbing the back of his head. "Yeah, yeah, whatever you say, man."

Ryuko Tatsuma, standing nearby, approached them with a calm smile. "You have an interesting mindset," she remarked, her voice carrying a hint of approval.

The group turned to see her, a bit surprised by her quiet approach. Itachi, catching her gaze, offered a small smile in return. "Thank you," he replied, his tone soft but appreciative.

Rumi, walking beside them, grinned mischievously. "Finally! Some action. Time to kick ass!" she said with enthusiasm, stretching her arms as if preparing for battle.

Keigo sweatdropped, eyeing her with a mix of amusement and caution. "Kick ass? Seriously?"

Rumi's grin widened, showing her sharp teeth. "Hell yeah. Let's see what everyone's made of!"

Itachi sighed quietly, his calm demeanor never wavering as he glanced at the lively exchange between Keigo and Rumi. Meanwhile, Yu Takeyama, who had been watching the interaction from a distance, narrowed her eyes at Itachi. Something about him intrigued her, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of power and secrets he was hiding beneath that stoic exterior.

As the students lined up, the tension in the air was palpable. Each of them stood ready, their quirks primed for the upcoming challenge. Aizawa stood in front of them, clipboard in hand, his sharp gaze scanning the group.

"Remember," Aizawa said, his voice firm. "This isn't just about speed. Show me what you can do with your quirks. Prove that you deserve to be here."

Aizawa divided the class into pairs for the race. "First up," he announced, " Usagiyama and Takami."

Rumi stretched her arms with a confident smirk, looking over at Keigo. "Come on, Takami," she teased. "Let's see if you can keep up."

Keigo grinned back, his wings shifting slightly in anticipation. "Sure thing, Usagiyama. Let's see what you've got."

The two of them stood at the starting line, poised and ready. Aizawa raised his hand. "Go!" he shouted.

Rumi took off like a bullet, her powerful legs propelling her forward at incredible speed. But Keigo, with his signature wings, took to the sky in a flash, flying like a falcon. He soared through the air effortlessly, crossing the finish line before Rumi even had the chance to blink.

Aizawa glanced at the stopwatch. "Takami, 3.54 seconds. Usagiyama, 4.23 seconds."

Rumi reached the finish line a second later, grinning as she caught her breath. "Not bad, bird boy," she said, her tone filled with friendly competitiveness.

Keigo chuckled, landing gracefully beside her. "Not bad yourself, Rabbit."

They both exchanged smirks, their rivalry more playful than serious, and made their way back to the others.

Aizawa scanned his clipboard. "Next up, Ida and Kamiji."

Tensei Iida and Moe Kamiji stepped up to the starting line. Moe, with her blazing hair, looked confident, but Tensei had the clear advantage of speed. Aizawa raised his hand again. "Go!"

Tensei's engines roared to life as he sped forward, racing past Moe with ease. Moe followed behind, her blazing hair leaving a trail of sparks as she tried to keep up, but it was clear that Tensei had the upper hand. He crossed the finish line in a blur.

"Iida, 3.10 seconds," Aizawa announced. "Kamiji, 5.2 seconds."

Moe arrived a few seconds later, panting but grinning. "You're fast, Iida," she admitted, running her hand through her flaming hair.

Tensei smiled politely. "Thanks, Kamiji. You weren't far behind."

They exchanged nods and returned to the group.

Aizawa then called out the next pair. "Takeyama and Yaoyorozu, you're up."

Yu Takeyama walked to the line with a smug look, glancing over at Itachi. "This is my chance to shine," she said confidently, her tone almost taunting. "Prepare to lose, Yaoyorozu. All eyes are going to be on me."

Itachi gave her a calm, unreadable glance before sighing. "Alright," he said quietly, not rising to her challenge. He took his place at the starting line, his usual composed demeanor unshaken.

Aizawa's hand went up again. "Go!"

Yu immediately activated her quirk, growing into her giant form. With just one massive step, she covered a huge distance, easily putting herself ahead. Itachi, despite his speed, reached the finish line only milliseconds after her, his eyes calm, as if he hadn't even been trying.

Aizawa checked the stopwatch. "Takeyama, 3.21 seconds. Yaoyorozu, 3.34 seconds."

Yu grinned, clearly satisfied with her victory. "Looks like I beat you, Yaoyorozu," she said, her tone dripping with pride. "Told you I'd get the spotlight."

Itachi simply sighed, not particularly fazed by her gloating. He remained composed, his expression unreadable. "Well done," he said, his tone sincere but neutral.

Yu smirked, basking in her victory as they returned to the group. Though Itachi had lost by a fraction of a second, it was clear to those watching that he hadn't given it his all, a fact that didn't escape Aizawa's notice.

After completing the races, Itachi rejoined the rest of the class, quietly standing beside Keigo and Rumi as Aizawa reviewed the results. He stood there, hands in his pockets, observing everyone's expressions as they caught their breath. Aizawa raised his eyes from the clipboard and addressed the class.

"You all did well... I guess," he said in his usual monotone voice. His lack of enthusiasm was typical, but the class could tell it was his way of acknowledging their efforts. "Now we move on to the next tests: long jump."

The class lined up for the next round of challenges, each taking their turn with focused determination. Keigo, with his wings, soared effortlessly over the markers, gliding with ease. Yu, once again using her quirk to grow in size, cleared an impressive distance, her massive stride unmatched. Their scores immediately placed them at the top.

Ryuko Tatsuma, determined not to be left behind, activated her quirk in a controlled burst. Her body partially transformed as scales covered her arms and legs, giving her the strength and agility of a dragon. With a powerful leap, she launched herself into the air, her movements both fierce and precise, earning her a spot tied for first alongside Keigo and Yu.
