Schools are being attacked across Japan, the main targets are the schools who have hero courses. The media is not saying very little about because the schools are either too small to take much notice or the school had enough time to play interference. Or that is what I was thinking when the principal tells all the hero course students that they are shutting down the course. From what he says there are a few other schools doing the same thing in hopes of protecting the rest of the students. They don't seem to have much choice since the schools don't have security as good as UA. They would finish the semester, but the students will either transferred to another hero course at a different school or they will join the rest of the school in general education.
That was three weeks ago, and the end of semester is in two weeks. So here I am sitting in my room looking at another rejection letter from another hero course school, claiming that they are shutting down. That is the fourth one I've gotten. There are three other rejection letters on my desk claiming they are too full as it is. I had applied to UA, but I have low hopes for that. I may be at the top of the class for both academics and hero training, but I'm not the only one to try and send a request to UA.
With a sigh I tossed the letter on top of the messy desk. I leaned back and looked at the ceiling. Will I have to give up my dream? A beep from my phone pulls me away from the depressing thought.
Group Chat:
Risingchaos: Guess what guys!
Dodgerass: What?!
Pyrowhat?: Don't tell me the school was attacked again!
Pyrowhat?: I don't think I could handle the humiliation.
Dodgerass: I know we have been attacked three different times in the past month!
Risingchaos: No! UA is only taking in 10 students!
My jaw dropped. I quickly typed a response.
Teleminder: What?! I wasn't sure if they would let anyone in because of the increase in attacks.
Dodgerass: Same.
Dodgerass: I envy the ones to get in.
Pyrowhat?: Same.
Risingchaos: The best part is that they are going to everyone house to talk to the students and their parents!
Risingchaos: Eraserhead, All Might and Vlad King are the ones visiting!
Pyrowhat?: No way!
Teleminder: How do you know this? If this a rumor you heard from that gossip website I will personally kick your ass.
Dodgerass: OHHH.
Dodgerass: If you do can I watch.
Dodgerass: It is always fun to watch you beat the shit out of people. Especially Drail.
Dots were blinking by Risingchaos for a good thirty seconds.
Pyrowhat?: Dude I can feel the angry presence from here.
Pyrowhat?: You better answer or you will have to kiss your ass goodbye.
Silence, then:
Risingchaos: They were just here asking me questions about what kind of hero I want to be and about all the attacks. They were also asking about my soulmate. Then they asked about you Holi! They asked if I knew you and what kind of person you were! Then they told me that I am going to UA in the fall!
There was silence while the other three comprehended what they were reading. It took me longer to understand before I could respond.
Dodgerass: WHAT!
Pyrowhat?: WHAT!
Dodgerass: YOU GOT INTO UA! AND THEY WERE ASKING ABOUT HOLI!
Pyrowhat?: I understand why they would want Holi but why you?!
Risingchaos: Hey!
Risingchaos: Holi you ok?
Risingchaos: I was expecting a call or for you to start blowing up the chat.
Pyrowhat?: I bet she fainted.
Dodgerass: She is to badass to faint.
Dodgerass: Right?
Dodgerass: Holi?
Teleminder: I can't believe you got into UA! And why were they asking about me. I haven't gotten my letter saying I'm in or not.
Pyrowhat?: She's alive!
Risingchaos: 30 min. ago give or take.
Risingchaos: they might be at your house soon.
When I read the last response, I dropped my phone and ran out of my room and ran down the hall. Just when I reached the top of the stairs the doorbell rang. I was at the foot of the stairs when my mother answered the door.
"Hello?" her sweet voice asked followed by a surprised gasp.
"Mom who is it?" I ask as I round the last corner to the entrance hall. What I saw made me freeze in shock. There is no way they are really hear. There is no way!
My mother stood there holding the door open, inviting three men into the house. Two of the men were easily recognizable, for those who weren't that big on heroes. The third man though, would be hard to recognize.
"Ahh. You must be young Domicona." Said the blond skeletal man, also known as retired pro hero All Might. Beside him stood Vlad King and Eraserhead.
"No way." I breath.
The five of them sat in the living room with steaming cups of tea that my mother and I made for our guests.
"Let's get right to it. You sent in an application to UA, correct?" Vlad King asked. I nod my head quickly, too nervous to say anything.
"Principal Nezu is only allowing ten students per year to enter UA. So really a total of twenty students from other schools getting the chance to go. We," as he gestures to himself and his companions, "are going around and visiting the ten potential students seeing if they are fit to join UA. Normally we have an entrance exam for any potential students to see if they have what it takes to fight the villains physically. But luckily for you and some of your other classmates were caught on video fighting off the villains that attacked your school." I stared at him in shock. There was video of me and the others fighting? Which fight was it?
All Might spoke up, "The video showed not only your competence in fighting but in evacuating civilians as well. It also showed that you were the only one in your year who reacted first when the attack first began. The principal was very impressed by how well you handled the situation with only being in your first year."
"How did you get to the top of your class?" Eraserhead suddenly asked.
"I'm sorry?" I asked caught off guard by the sudden question.
"How did you get to be at the top of your class?" He asked again.
"I had a lot help from the teachers, my friends and my family. I tried hard to do my best." I said. I knew that most people would try and boast about how great they were or how it is all talent. I couldn't do that. My parents taught me humility so that I could keep from getting to big of a head. That doesn't mean I'm a saint though. I will boast all I want about the small stuff like beating someone's ass in a game.
Eraserhead nodded his head and I got the feeling that, that was a test and I passed it.
"What about your soulmate? Are they okay with you being a hero?" Vlad King asked.
I jumped in shock at the question, though I should have known they were going to ask that. Especially since Drail said they asked him about it. "I have two soulmates and I haven't met them yet."
The pro heroes looked at me in shock. "You have two soulmates?" Eraserhead asked an undercurrent of disbelief in his voice.
I nod.
"Why do you want to be a hero?" Vlad King asked as he tries to get past the answer that obviously stunned the heroes.
I had thought about that question a lot ever since the villains started attacking the school. "At first, I wanted to be a hero, because everyone said that I would be a great hero with my quirk. I thought that being a hero would be cool because they are so revered by everyone."
"But now?" Eraserhead ask, seeming to notice that was not my reason now.
"Now I want to protect the innocents from the villains that want to ruin their daily lives. Ever since the villains started attacking my school I have seen how the other students, specifically the ones who were not in heroics, were scared and couldn't fight back."
The heroes looked at each other and gave a slight nod. "Well, Young Domicona, starting at the end of your semester you will be enrolled in UA. We will discuss which class you will be joining." All Might said.
I stared at him in shock. "I- I'm going to UA?" I stuttered out in disbelief.
All Might gave a big smile. "Welcome to UA, young lady. I look forward to teaching you in the future."
"There will be a summer camp that you will be required to go to before the school year begins. You will also be living in the dorms along with the other students." Eraserhead stated. "And like All Might already said, we will determine which class you will be joining for the two years you are at UA."
I smiled and laughed while my mother hugged me. I can't believe it. I am going to be attending UA! This is more than I could have ever hoped for.
