A/N: History is being made today boys and girls and those in between... This story is the first long story of mine to have more favorites than follows. Let's take a moment to appreciate that... Okay moment over back to the story.)
...
*Midoriya's P.O.V*
"Did you 4 seriously?!" One girl asked during lunch hour.
"Hell yeah we did!" Phi exclaimed with the biggest smile she has ever made, "I hacked the school's system to not only shut down the robots but also lock the other examinees out. We had the test all to ourselves and we aced it easily."
"But wait, I thought you wanted to be a Pop Star?" Another girl asked.
"Or an actor?"
"Or a Musician?"
"Or a game designer." Twin girls said before looking at each other, "Stop copying me! Stop it!"
"We do. But we also wanted to be heroes as well." Akane said.
"One person said we could be able to do it with our Quirks and Phi's skills." Diana explained, keeping All Might's name anonymous.
"And being heroes would get us more recognition and help our other goals as well. And if it doesn't work out we can always just drop out of the Hero Course and continue with our goals. So it's a winning solution with virtually no drawbacks." Phi said.
"There is one draw back though." I said as I saw... him, storm over to our table.
"Oi! Fuckers." Bakugou growled, "And put the fucking jar away." Diana pulled her hand out of her bag. "I want to know how you 4 passed the test."
"I hacked the school and made it a guarantee win for us. Now leave." Phi explained.
"So you fucking cheated?"
"Principal Nezu himself said it wasn't cheating because there wasn't a rule in place for it. He called it, 'Playtesting the rules for holes'." I recited.
"Doesn't make it any less cheat-"
"You're just mad that we ruined your precious plan of being the only one going to U.A." Phi commented, "Well suck it up, life doesn't always go your way-"
*Pop pop*
"What did you sa-"
"Back. Off." Diana growled. She's using Emotion Manipulation because Bakugou flinched and backed off.
"W-Why am I so scared?!" Bakugou asked as his arms started to shake.
"I said. Back. Off." She took a step forward, making Bakugou take 2 steps back.
"Tch! Fine!" He yelled before running away. She deactivated her Quirk and placed a hand on her forehead.
"Another good reason going to U.A. Training our Quirks... this headache is getting annoying." Diana muttered as she sat backdown.
"But that was so kickass!" Phi yelled... before putting another 100 yen coin into the jar. "That's starting to get old..."
"Then stop swearing like a sailor." Diana said before putting the jar into her bag. "So that's our plan anyway."
"Well I'm sure you 4 will do great!"
"Yeah, that's a given." Phi boasted.
Yeah... we'll take U.A by storm.
...
"Hmm... we think you should consider these 3." I said as I showed him the 3 candidates we believe would be best for One for All. "Ibara Shiozaki, Itsuka Kendou, and Kinoko Komori."
...
...
"Vines, Big Fist, and Mushroom? How will those conceal One for All?" All Might asked.
"Out of the 44 students... excluding us because we don't want it. Out of the 40 students, those 3 are the best candidates I can possibly think of." I explained, "Ibara Shiozaki is a model student and a kind soul, which makes sense because of her faith. Not to mention her Quirk is powerful and she has complete control over it."
"It's also not all about concealing it. We're also looking at the best person to take the mantle of Symbol of Peace. And while her Quirk won't conceal One for All, we can always lie and give the Todoroki excuse that she has 2 powers. We can say it arrived late because of her having 2." Phi explained, "She's suitable for the Symbol of Peace title, as well as a low profile family so the news won't be all up in arms about it."
"Itsuka Kendou is also in the same boat." Akane said, "Her Quirk is strong and when she uses it she gets stronger too. So we can chalk up One for All as a side effect of her Quirk and not a second one."
"But asides that she's also a model student as well. Straight As for all 3 Junior High years, and she was the class president in her 3rd year. And not one detention or write up." Diana added.
"And the 3rd one, Kinoko Komori, is more soft spoken. She's 15th in the Practical, but she's 8th in the exam. However that's something we can use, her soft spokenness means she won't talk about it to her friends out of excitement. Which is also a factor here, how well can they keep a secret. But her Quirk can also be used to disguise One for All."
"Remember you can alter your Quirk Registration forms whenever you feel about once or twice. So just say she tried eating one of her mushrooms and boom. Massive strength boost to her. She can say she has never tried it before and people would buy it because Quirks are extremely weird." Phi explained.
"And those 3 are the best candidates in comparison to the others." Akane stated.
"Hmm... why so?" All Might asked.
"Well all of the bad ones won't make a suitable cover story for One for All. Zero Gravity, Engine, Copy, Black, Acid, most of these won't mesh well with a 'Super Power' Quirk." I explained.
"They also aren't suitable for the 'Symbol of Peace' mantle. Based on the videoes you sent us as well as the test scores Principal Nezu gave you. Minoru Mineta and Denki Kaminari aren't ones for One for All." Diana said.
"Kaminari is literally too dumb. He barely passed the exam with a 61%. And Minoru Mineta is too much of a pervert to function. Legit he stopped in the middle of the exam to check out a girl's ass..."
*Plink*
"When she fell over. That doesn't scream hero everyone should look up to." Phi stated, "There is also Katsuki Bakugou. He's strong sure, but he's extremely volatile, he has a blow up before thinking attitude. Fuse that with One for All and he could really hurt someone." She's really holding back on Bakugou, but she doesn't have the money for all of those swears.
"And some we scratched off because of high profile families. Shoto Todoroki and Momo Yaoyorozu are the two we are looking at." Akane explained.
"Todoroki's father, Endeavor will find the fact that his son has sprouted a 3rd Quirk from literally out of nowhere. He would get suspicious. Same with Momo Yaoyorozu, daughter and heiress of the Yaoyorozu Conglomerate her parents would be suspicious of their daughter suddenly sprouting a second Quirk... the news would be on that in seconds." Diana finished.
...
...
"I see..." All Might said, "I shall ponder over which of these 3 will get One for All. For now get ready for school, it starts tomorrow after all."
"Right." I said as we packed our stuff. "See you tomorrow sir!"
"Bye All Might!" Akane waved.
"Don't mess it up!" Phi warned.
"Bye sir!" Diana said as we exited the building All Might had us meet him in.
I hope he makes the right choice.
...
"Who ever comes in last has none... and will be expelled immediately." Mr. Aizawa warned. Looks like Phi was right. "And you two." Oh he's calling us out, "You two better give it your all as well, because if either of you go below the top 5, you'll be expelled no questions asked."
...
...
"You had to go and piss him off." I whispered to Phi.
"It was so worth it." Phi replied with a smirk, "And besides like heck we'll lose to these people. We're one half of Team Performing Arts, we have to pull our weight while Akane and Diana wor-"
"Focus up, it's both of your turns to show off the ball throw since you two tied for first." Mr. Aizawa said as he tossed two soft balls at us, "Anything goes just stay in the circle."
...
...
Anything?
"Oh shit he has an idea."
"Hey brown haired girl!" I yelled.
"Y-Yeah?!"
"Think fast!"
"AAH!" She yelled as she reached out to grab the ball I threw, "I-I caught it!" She yelled.
"Good reflexes, now give it back I need to take my throw." I said.
"O-Oh, right sorry." She said as she tossed it back, it was faster then how I threw it excellent.
"But why did he... Wait." Phi said with a smirk, seems she's figured it out. I gripped the ball and threw it as hard as I could at a 45 degree angle. Causing it to jettison far and fast.
"W-Wha- My Quirk!" She exclaimed as she lifted her hands up... I don't think so.
"So we roll the dice, see where they may fall..." I sang as her arms fell to her side to listen, just a little longer, "Come on, why don't we spin the wheel, see whom it may call? Give into temptatioooon!" I glanced at Mr. Aizawa's device, it ranked infinity, meaning it won't come down. "To win it, or maybe lose it all, yeah. Who knows where the whims of fate may lead us?"
I stopped singing causing the girl to snap back to reality, "W-What was that?" She asked.
"That's Midoriya being smart." Phi said, looking at Mr. Aizawa. "You did say anything went, he just took that and ran with it."
...
...
"Fine, you go." Mr. Aizawa said, "But don't think she'll fall for that mistake twice."
"Oh I don't need her Quirk to win." Phi said as she looked at Bakugou, "Hey Prick! Think fast!"
But Bakugou was ready for it, He gripped the ball and blasted it away. "... Wait!" He yelled... but it was too late, that ball was sailing far away.
"... Smart." Mr. Aizawa said as he held up him phone, 598.8 meters.
"It was a gamble between him being angry and blasting it, or just dropping it. Glad to see I won that gamble." She said as she smirked at Bakugou, making him fume knowing he helped his opponent.
"... Anyway let's get on with it, we have more events to get through."
...
Phi and I can't exactly cheat the 50 meter dash, but at least we were faster than those with Quirks that didn't help them in this event. The Grip Test however... was our chance.
Phi hacked into her device giving her a 999 kg score. Much to Mr. Aizawa's disappointment but allowance, I'd bet he's seriously rethinking that 'Anything goes' rule. I on the other hand... plan to use my Quirk, a boy with 6 arms is a good candidate.
"A river in a dry land. The last ace in a lost hand."
*Thud*
He dropped the device now's my chance, "A heartbeat for a tin man. Oasis in a singed land." I swapped out devices putting mine on the ground and picked up his. I stopped singing making him return to normal.
"W-What?"
"S-Sorry about that. I have a tendency of singing to concentrate. A bad habit with my Quirk..." He seemed to have bought my cover story as he picked up his device to do the test.
"Izuku Midoriya 540 Kg." Mr. Aizawa said.
"H-Huh?" He asked as he turned the device around, showing the number 18. "Y-You lied to me." He said.
"Sorry." I said as I handed him his device, "Got to do whatever it takes to survive."
...
...
"Understandable." He said as he did his test, getting the same score.
Glad to see there are good sports in this class.
...
The rest of the events we couldn't cheat in, it was now up to our skill and athletic ability.
"Loser buys dinner?" Phi said with a smirk as we got ready to race.
"... You're on." But some friendly competition didn't hurt any body.
*BANG*
Iida and Yaoyorozu sped off, but Phi and I were sprinting through the race, we both have big appetites... meaning this meal will be expensive. And I spent all of my allowance on training equipment! I can't lose!
"TIME!"
"I won!" I yelled.
"You must be high on stupid! I clearly crossed first!" Phi yelled before we looked at Mr. Aizawa.
"Who won?!"
...
...
He showed us our scores.
"HOW DID WE TIE?!"
"I want a rematch!" Phi yelled, "It can't end without a wi-"
"After. The. Test."
"Y-Yes sir!"
We can't mess with the man anymore than we already have.
...
"Alright, time to give you your results. I ranked you all from best to worst. You should probably have a good idea of your standing already. I'll just pull up the whole list. It's not worth going over each individual's score." He explained as he activated his projector.
1st: Momo Yaoyorozu
2nd: Izuku Midoriya
3rd: Phi Takahashi
"WE'RE ALIVE!" I yelled to the heavens.
"Like I said... nothing to worry about." Phi boasted earning a nervous and angry look from Minoru Mineta.
"B-But they cheated!" Mineta yelled, "That girl didn't even use her Quir-"
"Don't have one to use. So I worked around the rules with my intellect, refined talent, and natural good looks."
"That last one is a bit of a stre-"
*WHAM*
"Fuck you." Phi replied.
"YOU'RE QUIRKLESS?!"
"Yes... that's what I just said." Phi said before looking at them, "Any of you got a problem with that?"
"But you sprinted with him nonstop! How did you do that?!" Ashido asked.
"... Intellect, refined talent, and natural good looks. Seriously you all have to pay more attention." Phi said with a smirk.
"Anyway!" Mr. Aizawa yelled, using his Quirk to further the effect of his glare. "None of you are going home I lied, but continue talking and I will go through with my promise of expelling last place."
"He's a pervert anyway so I say we keep talking." Phi said.
"Continue and you'll go with him."
"N-Nevermind!" Phi replied shutting her mouth.
"Anyway that's all for today, grab a syllabus and read it over." Mr. Aizawa said before leaving.
Not only did we survive but we swept most of the class!
Man I can't wait to tell this to Akane and Diana.
...
*Phi's P.O.V*
"So... any boys catch your eyes yet girls?" Oh great... we have one of those girls here. I should have expected Ashido to be a gosspier.
"Hmm... I don't know. They seem... exotic." Another one... the two gossip girl combo... I didn't catch her name though.
"Exotic isn't a word to describe people." Glad to see we have some level headed people on this side of the class.
"... But we do have some romance sparking here..." Ashido said before looking at me. "So what's with you and greenie?"
"First off. He's practically my brother." I started which made her face start to lose that pink color, "Second I'm gay." Now that made her face completely drain of color.
...
...
"PWAHAHAHAHAHA!" The invisible girl laughed before grabbing... at least I think she's grabbing anyway, Ashido's shoulders. "Oh man talk about a bad first impression." She said before looking at me... at least I think she's... you know what nevermind, "Sorry about that. But I gotta ask, what's with you and greenie?"
"His name is Izuku." I corrected, "And we made a pact with him and my 2 other sisters in 1-B. We promised to help each other with our specific goals... and being heroes but that was waaaaaay late into our planning stage."
"And what are your goals?" The brown haired girl... Uraraka was it?
"Well mine is to be the #1 Game Designer/Artist. Izuku's is to be the #1 Pop Star. My big sister 'Diana' wants to be the #1 Actor. And my little sister 'Akane' wants to be the #1 Musician." I explained.
"... Wait Pop Star? Game Designer? Actor? Musician? Why are you 4 in U.A then?" The frog girl, Asui asked. She's blunt and straight to the point... I like her already.
"Like I said earlier, the decision to also be heroes came late into our planning stage. Actually we decided that 10 months ago." I explained, "But we reached a unanimous decision to be #1 Heroes, as well as the #1 Hero Team."
"Hero Team?" The girl with earphone jacks asked, another one I like because of her straight up badassery.
"Yup. Team Performing Arts, remember that name because you'll see it all over the place in the near future." I said with a smirk.
"But what makes you think you all will be #1?" Ashido asked, "Like you need a strong power-"
"And yet the only one of you who beat me in the QTA is Yaoyorozu, and I don't even have a Quirk." I said.
"Because you cheated-"
"Villains won't play fair in this world." I said, "When lives are at stake you can't be worried about hitting above the belt."
...
...
"I'm tired of this conversation." I said as I left the locker room. I'll show them...
We'll be the #1 Hero Team. Team Performing Arts.
