Party and Unusual Pasttimes

Izuku found herself gaining a recommendation to get into the Recommendation Entrance Exams.

Because of her position as Prefect and high grades though her grades were second to that of Bakugo's, she was recommended by the Principal of her school so her exam will take place before the Public Entrance Exam.

And that, was because of their sheer stark difference in character.

First is the Written Exam.

Then the Practical Exams.

'You'll be in groups of six for the Practical!' Present Mic boomed. 'Could the numbers we just called proceed to the site?!'

'Numbers my foot, we're separated by gender!' a scraggly-haired greenette exclaimed.

'Well, nothing we can do about that. Boys can get rough.' said another girl.

'Your test is a Three Kilometer Footrace!' Present Mic told them. 'But this is a race that can't be finished by just running! Make use of your Quirks to reach the Goal!'

"A footrace, huh?" Izuku mused as she took off her shoes to be barefooted.

'Bare feet? Look at where we're running!' a spiky-haired ojousama exclaimed as the Running Course consisted of all kinds of terrain, even railroads!

'Well, I gotta do what I gotta do and I'm great with bare feet for this!' Izuku winked.

From the Watch Point, other students watched the current racers.

Even other people were baffled with why she's running with bare feet...until the go sign happened.

She skates on the ground she's liquefied with her bare feet somehow, and she's fast! The other fast girl was the Ojousama who created a jet pack with powerful boosters out of her bare back, since she wore a backless outfit, matching barefeet girl toe-to-toe.

Both finished in three minutes.

'GOAL! NUMBER 09 and 08, EXACT THREE MINUTES! But how do we fix the liquefied path now?'

'Oh, sorry!' Izuku cried as she stepped on the ground, using her true Quirk to undo what was done.

'So your Quirk is liquefaction?' ojousama asked Izuku.

'Nope, I turn anything I touch into candy...so I skated on liquid candy by liquefying the ground into syrup and I control the candy into moving me forward!'

'SYRUP?!' both the girl and Present Mic yelped in shock while Izuku put back on her shoes.

Watch Point...

'Never thought syrup can be used that way...is it even edible?' a guy with a partial skeletal face wondered aloud.

'Oh, it is, nutritional content included.' said Izuku, touching a wall she turned into chocolate and broke off.

'You're eating concrete!' nearly everyone howled.

'Nope, I'm eating Belgium Chocolate.' Izuku corrected with a playful tut-tut. 'My Quirk tires me out so I eat candy to compensate...I need my energy back.'

'B-Belgium Chocolate? Really?!' Izuku widened the affected area.

'Try some.' very reluctantly...

'Holy crap! It really is chocolate!'

'It even melts in my fingers!'

/Examinees, please don't eat the Watch Point.../ an exasperated voice sputtered from the intercom.

'It's candy!' nearly everyone yelled.

From the Security Area...

'Great, because someone can turn things she touches into edible candy, the students are now eating the Watch Point.' said an exasperated Cementoss. 'Who is that kid?!'

'...Midoriya Izuku. Quirk: Sweet Touch-anything she touches turns into sweets she imagines. Its to the extent that Nutritional Value and ingredients are just as present as in a typical candy or fruit as long as its sweet. Even cakes are possible according to doctors who studied her very edible alterations.' Principal Nezu read aloud from a searched file. 'She can undo what she did as long as its not broken or damaged while in an altered state but if broken, it remains a sweet forever. But using her Quirk costs high energy levels she must quickly eat high-energy foods so she's turning what she touches into nearby accessible food.'

'Well, they broke and ate that wall, you can just fix it back up since it's concrete.' said Vlad King. 'After we dig out that chocolate.'

'Oh hell, they're requesting she makes more!'

From a Belgium Chocolate wall to a wall that turned into choco banana even...while the Race went on, those waiting were literally...snacking.

Izuku quickly found a fast friend in Yaoyorozu Momo as they enjoyed the choco bananas with the belgium chocolate.

A boy with white and red hair approached them. 'I got thirsty, can you make something cold?' he asked her while presenting her a block of ice he made.

Izuku took the block of ice and turned it into an icy goblet with fine shaved ice that looks like snow, but topped with chocolate syrup.

'NO FAAAAIR!'

'Ice Boy make us some ice too!'

Chaos ensued.

Interviews came and went...

Usually, Interviews are a formality as scores depend on the exams. However, they also judge characters of students.

'So Midoriya-san,' said her interviewer, Principal Nezu as others met other teachers for the interview. 'From what we understand, your Quirk turns anything you touch into sweet edibles.'

'I can weaponize that too if that's what you're wondering about. I can trap Villains into a pool of caramel and taffy or turn body parts into candy if they're dumb enough to touch me!' Izuku giggled. 'I think I'll go well as a support hero for providing energy food for hungry people until they get a decent hot meal somehow in times of disasters. And sweets improves one's mood, no?'

'Mm-hmm!'

'I had to learn how to make sweets the hard way so I can control what I make.' said Izuku. 'So with my touch, I can make high-class goods after figuring out the perfect formula in the kitchen! I can even make a nice Densuke Watermelon and Yubari King Melons by touching balls when I got to sample some once when Mom brought some home from a big party she came to.'

'Ohoho! That would be wonderful! So a Support Hero is it?'

'Yes, since stuff I make can give colleagues energy at the cost of my own so they can keep moving. But again, I can weaponize...even kill with candy though we'd rather not get to that point...since the Sludge Villain Incident what was left of him was an amount enough for a head so he's pretty much useless now...unless some moron will give him water. My classmate blasted his way out to bits after I turned him into hard candy I realized the bad part there.'

'Yes, that was in the news.' Nezu nodded. 'We'll find further applications for you in the future with your Quirk since it has talent potential indeed.'

(Later that day, the faculty had to dig out the food out of the walls before Cementoss can repair it)

'Oi Midoriya, what's your score on the exams?' Bakugo demanded several days later.

'Hummm, the Written Exams I got 94 overall, Practical also in the 90s so I got an In.' said Izuku. 'Why ask?'

'90?!'

'A Quirky Footrace. Faster you are higher grades you got, to demonstrate Quirk Control levels.' Izuku quipped. 'Yours?'

'Fighting Villain Robots for points.' said Bakugo gruffly. 'Since there's a limited amount of robots I got a 77.'

'Well, its to limit who gets in after all.' said Izuku. 'Only the best forty get into the Hero Courses.'

'Heh, hundreds or thousands went to apply and only forty get an in. Well shit.' Bakugo scoffed as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. 'At least we got in.'

'Why are you so worried for me all of a sudden?' Izuku wondered. 'You generally don't care for people you deem extras.'

Sure he's got sycophants and admirers but no friends. How can he with an attitude like his? He's rude, cocky, arrogant, potty-mouth, abrasively-aggressive, looks down on everyone...and who's job was it to keep him in line? Hers!

'Heh, if someone like you got into UA, I'm taking you seriously candy-girl.' Bakugo grinned, all fired up for a fight. Izuku sported a tic mark on her temple. She gets to be underestimated a lot for her Quirk...

'Let me remind you that I always beat you.' Izuku stated with a twitch, causing Bakugo to get pissed...and jumped on her...

...cue a big slugfest between them both...

'OI! You kids stop fighting this instant!' a patrolling Police Officer cried upon spotting them both. 'Break it up, now!'

'Fuuu...' Izuku whistled as on the way home, her bruises and split lip rapidly healed and her uniform was clean and neat again. 'He sure won't learn a thing~' she sighed as Bakugo, genius fighter he may be, was 'too emotional' in his moves and has so many openings despite great talent. She spent years watching TV, and picking out fighting flaws and created a fighting form that combined gymnastics, acrobatics, sharp, precisely-decisive strikes and removed openings possible within her skill level. For VS kids her age, she's good but against pros? Need more work. Lots.

Upon going home, well...All-Might or in his true form Yagi Toshinori was talking to her mother when she went through the front door like a ghost after making sure nobody's looking.

'Oh, Yagi-san, hi.' Izuku greeted. 'What's going on?'

'Oh Izuku-chan! Guess what, Yagi-san is inviting us out to a party! Well, an All-Heroes party but they can bring plus-ones over and one kid since it's a social gala!' Inko squealed, taking out fashion magazines. 'You think you could help us out a little?'

'Er, when is this?'

'Tonight at 8!'

'8?!'

'We got plenty of time to get ready, don't worry so much!' Yagi grinned. 'We need fancy clothes.'

'Hai hai, go into big-guy form so I can measure everything and make it look natural! By the way, how long can you be muscle guy?'

'Well, thanks to your healing I can keep it up indefinitely as normal.' said Yagi. 'Had I remained crippled, It can only be a few hours.'

After giving Yagi a Kiton-brand royal-blue suit with Stefano Ricci's crystal tie, followed by Testoni shoes paired with Falke's Vicuna Socks. Talk about EXPENSIVE.

'SERIOUSLY?!'

'You're All-Might, you gotta image to keep.' Izuku drawled. 'Really, what on earth is your PR doing if they don't even know this?!'

'Well for one thing my PR knows I'm not into expensive stuff...I'll just say its a gift from a very-close anonymous friend.' at least people will know he hasn't spent a cent on this, Yagi thought as he looked at his very expensive outfit that's way too big for his true form.

And so, at the party...

Inko went sea-green to contrast her dark-green hair while Izuku went pristine-white with a silk hair band and a white fancy cuff bracelet on her left wrist. Her hair simply worn straight and loose that in a way, it has its own elegance by being simple. Well, since couples have to go by Main Entrance, kids if brought any, have to go another door since Heroes and their dates have to be announced before entry. And kids get to go in first. So teenagers have to help with the little ones, if only for a while.

The last to enter, were the Top 20 Heroes after affluent people, the higher the rank, the later they go in.

'Ah. It's you.' Izuku expected this, as she saw the boy she took exams with.

'Hi, Todoroki-kun.' Izuku greeted the boy, Todoroki Shouto. Son of Mr. No.2. Considering she was privy to some events, she's seen him as a kid on her disguises when she was with All-Might, disguising herself as a 'creature of ribbons'*. He was around when Endeavor's around, claiming he wants him to know how Pros work.

'You're related to a Hero?'

'Nope. Mom got lucky All-Might asked her out for tonight.' Izuku and Todoroki looked to see All-Might come in with Inko.

'Ah...' "So that's her mom." he thought, looking at the youthful-looking, fair-skinned woman with thick eyelashes and green colors like her daughter.

'It was a rush renting gowns for tonight, you know?' Izuku chuckled. 'Then again, its lucky.'

'Lucky?'

'Rich folk parties like these have expensive sweets for free beyond our reach for my Quirk.' Izuku told him. 'I can turn anything I touch into sweets I've known and eaten but my repertoire needs expansion. So mom jumped in for my sake.'

'I see...what can your mom do?'

'4th Generation Telekinetic but since she's never used it much all her life, she's only strong enough to pull small objects towards her since she didn't put so much stock in Quirks and prefers living normally. She's a peaceful person.'

'...your dad OK with this?'

'I wouldn't know, he's long gone.' Izuku said wistfully. 'Died in line of Duty as Draconian Knight when mom's pregnant with me and left us quite a hefty livelihood since he was an accomplished Hero. Been just us for ages.'

'Ah...'

'What about you? Your dad's with a woman clearly not your mom.' Endeavor was with a woman who'd look good in the Porn Industry. Cocktail Dress with a plunging neckline, hair so stiff in hairspray for her hairdo with make-up to match.

'Mom's...sick.' Izuku noted Todoroki looked bitter and hateful. 'No thanks to him. Then again, she wouldn't enjoy parties like this anyway.'

'You don't either.'

'I'm fine with any location not near him.' said Todoroki gruffly. 'But I have to always be around for public events with a lot of media present. Good PR, he says.'

'Ahhh...' Izuku nodded in understanding. Being a Hero's child means said kids must have good PR at the start for better career prospects. 'For now let's not talk about privy matters. The Media are here and I bet we'll be on Magazines next month so let's put up a nice facade. All-Might warned me and mom how much of a bloodthirsty shark they can be for an article, privacy be damned...'

'Yeah, known that all my life. I always had to have a perfect reputation.' so the two took to chatting amicably on different topics that won't get them under fire in the media.

When dancing time came, he danced with her and even had dinner with her.

This, was not lost on Endeavor's eyes...

Later, an event happened. A Quirk Contest between the kids.

'Quirk Contest...it'll be a battle later on.' Todoroki frowned. 'It's always like this in parties so its always mostly boys who participate.'

'Yeah, I can't imagine Momo-chan participating either.'

'Who's that?'

'Todoroki-kun, she was with me the whole time back at the Watch Point. She could be our classmate one day at UA you know.' Izuku sweatdropped. 'And she's here!' she said, pointing discreetly at the ponytailed girl in a purple, revealing dress and they waved each other. 'Momo-chan couldn't approach us since she's with her fiancee who, while a good guy, gets insecure easily. Couldn't socialize much in any party and you two are the only peers I know aside from a loudmouth in my school.'

'Ah...'

'Well, I'll have fun too.' Izuku grinned. 'I got a spare dress, I'll be OK!'

Needless to say, Todoroki and Yaoyorozu never realized how much of a fighter she was...scaring the latter for life.

'Eek! Izuku-chan, I can't believe you!' she exclaimed in horror while watching with her family as Izuku was perfectly willing to be in a fist fight, not caring if she gets smacked back, since her opponent was into fists with his Quirk, a sand-based Quirk she turns into sugar crystals and subsequently, cotton candy she used as a cloth, ala Fiber Master to bind him tightly with.

'I win!'

'Victor: Midoriya Izuku!' a butler referee declared.

'Izuku-chan, are you OK?!' Momo freaked out, fussing over her to repair her torn dress with her Quirk while Todoroki provided the ice for the bruises.

'Oh, I'm long used to this, Momo-chan. I spar with a neighbor everyday in school.'

'You spar in a fist fight in school?!'

'Midoriya, your mom fainted from shock.' Todoroki pointed out as they saw All-Might tending to the fainted woman. 'Does she know you enjoy fist fights?'

'She doesn't.'

Yaoyorozu and Todoroki gave her deadpan stares.

'You're kidding us?!'

'I'm in for it later...ahahaha...' Izuku laughed nervously.

'And since you won your fight, you'll face me later on in the next few brackets if we get into Semi-Finals.' said Todoroki wryly. 'I'll go all out now that I've seen this.'

'Yeah, lets play!' Izuku chirped.

'You can't be serious!' Momo moaned in dismay.

'Momo-chan, we're gonna be heroes someday, Villains won't be so nice...'

'I know that but this is still a big no-no for me! I just can't imagine me doing what you're doing!'

Defeat by Candy got the other participants threatened as they can already imagine THAT being in a magazine or newspapers soon...defeat by candy would be super-embarrassing!

Indeed, the pair won their fights each that they reached Finals...until eventually, it's Izuku VS Todoroki.

'Yaaa...it's us now...' Izuku chimed as the pair let out their fighting spirit.

'Well, don't hold it against me if you lose.'

'Same for you.'

'READY...GO!'

'All-Might-san, I think I need to get really drunk tonight...' Inko swore, kneading her temple as if she had a headache. 'I never knew my daughter enjoyed fights when I'm not looking!'

'She didn't look the part either.' Yagi admitted, scratching the back of his head. 'She was a sweet do-no-wrong girl until this, but at least we know she'll be OK in the Hero Course...'

The final fight, was very brutal. Candy VS Ice and their own martial prowess...

...it ended in a draw, double KO.

'...Double KO! Neither Fighter wins!'
