CHAPTER START---
"Alright, let's get started," Horizon says. Currently, both classes were standing spread out in front of him in a shady area, their teachers at the side quietly observing, Nezu on Vlad King's shoulder.
"This is gonna be a lot for some of you to remember, but it should all be published on UA's website after class, so you can find it there. But here goes.
Quirk Mastery isn't that uncommon to hear about, at least in the most basic sense. But Quirk Mastery and Quirk Training aren't the same thing in my mind.
Quirk Training is to increase the power or precision of your Quirk.
Quirk Mastery is to reach the upper limit of your Quirks capabilities in terms of practicality and uses.
One is making your punches stronger, the other is learning how to punch."
Iida raises his hand to ask a question.
"Put your damn hand down, no questions, just listen," Horizon says, causing most students to stiffen up.
"Anyway, experience and pressure are how you improve Quirk Mastery, but that takes a lifetime if you aren't focused on it, which I always am. You need to train power and mastery so they augment each other.
I judge people in fields like Heroics based on Quirk Mastery, any moron can use super strength to punch and lift weights to boost it, tactful and precise Quirk use is what more people need to develop.
I'll give my breakdown of how I've made the levels for you to study and grade yourselves, and where I think each of you is currently. But remember Mastery isn't Power. Some Quirks are powerful even without knowing how to use them, like Deku's Super-Power. Others take a lot of mastery but can only achieve a fraction of the raw power, like Creation for example.
In theory, she can make something to match the strength of his punch, but while she has to decide what to make, then understand the material composition, then put it all together in her mind. All he has to do is throw a punch, get it?"
Everyone nods along.
"Because Quirks have been around for so long people just accept them as the norm and are complacent, it's extremely rare for someone to reach their full potential because of this, especially since most people either don't have a license or reason to use and train their Quirk.
Most people just depend on others to deal with big problems, but if you're gonna be a hero you can't do that, you're supposed to be the problem solver after all...
Alright, time for the breakdown of Mastery Levels. Each level is pretty self-explanatory in what you have to do to get to the next one, it took me all of two seconds to figure out what each of you has to do to get to level 80 so if you put your mind to it you can probably do it.
First, we have the Negative Levels, this is where using your Quirk causes serious self-harm and can kill you...Deku."
Deku just stares down at his feet as everyone looks over at him.
"I literally had to add this level because of you, because you're just that damn special," Horizon shakes his head.
"Anyway, people at this level are completely useless and shouldn't be put in any position where other people are depending on them, like being a Hero for example."
Deku gets a slew of sympathetic looks, and the Class 1B students begin to realize exactly what Momo and Jiro were worried about.
"Next is level 0. These are the people who have a quirk but don't know what it does or never bother to use it. The only person here is Toru."
Everyone looks confused at that and Toru raises her hand, Horizon sees her entirely naked form jiggling as she moves and pays it no mind. "What?"
"But my Quirk makes my skin and body invisible, it's a Mutation Type so I can't train it," Toru says.
"Everything you just said wasn't just wrong, but also completely stupid," Horizon says harshly. "If your Quirk was physical invisibility you wouldn't be able to see, since light has to actually hit your eyes for that to happen, you'd be a pair of floating pupils.
Secondly, I know your Quirk isn't a Mutation, it's an Emitter, you're just too dumb to know how to turn it off. " He raises a hand to silence her response, certainly an angry one judging by the pissed-off look on her face. "The reason I know it's an Emitter than bends light around you, is because my Quirk allows me to ignore light-based illusions, meaning I can see you plain as day, green-pink hair and all."
Everyone completely freezes, including Toru, her mind racing to try and figure out if this was a sick joke. But he said green-pink hair, she doesn't even know her own hair color, but that's what her mom has.
"AHHHHH!" Toru holds her chest and immediately runs away, crying and screaming all the way out of the training ground.
"Tch, it's not like I haven't seen people naked before," Horizon shrugs. "I am a doctor after all, I can be professional about it..."
Tokoyami= 15
Shoto= 20
Uraraka = 20
Kaminari= 20
Kirishima= 20
Koda=25
Shoji= 25
Sato=30
Sero=30
Mina= 35
Jiro= 35
Momo= 40
Iida= 55
Bakugo= 65
Tsu= 70
Ojiro= 80
"Obviously this is my own opinion from the outside looking in, you know more about yourselves than I do...hopefully. Also, I don't know 1B enough to make a proper judgment so you'll all have to self-reflect a bit more.
Notice how Todoroki is down toward the bottom while Ojiro is at the top.
Tail doesn't need much Mastery to get to level 80 because of how basic it is, but with a fraction of the Mastery, Todoroki is a lot stronger just because of the power his Quirk has. If he was at level 80 with Ojiro he would be a lot stronger. Still would have lost the sports festival, but still a lot stronger.
For example. In the fight against Deku, after seeing the first attack all Todoroki had to do was make a pincer attack with his ice since Deku can only defend one angle at a time. But since he uses his Quirk like some idiot meathead...all he did was throw ice around like a moron. Trying to use power to compensate for mastery nearly cost him the match."
"What about you?" Jiro asks, not staring at the list and simply speaking aloud. "You aren't on the list."
"Probably at level 100," Sero says.
"Actually I'm at level 60," Horizon's words surprise everyone. Seeing them all gawking at him he sighs. "Clearly you all missed half my lecture, Power doesn't equal Mastery. My Quirk is powerful but I'm nowhere near mastering it, or even figuring out all my basic abilities. I've got a lot of room to grow.
But with that being said, I do know what my Awakening is, kind of, I just need to wait for my body to be able to hold enough energy so I can actually use it. Along with just using my Quirk a lot to get more comfortable with it.
A lot of you are probably gonna get to level 80 before me, but it won't matter, even at that point I won't need any awakening to stay in the top spot..."
His words leave a sour taste in their mouth, but they certainly weren't going to argue against it.
"Alright, that's the Quirk Mastery thesis breakdown complete..."
'Well that wasn't so bad,' Kendo and Jiro think.
"Now, Deku, get up here..."
'Oh crap,' most of 1A gives Deku a sympathetic look...
