My Hero Academia: Wolf Days
Izuku couldn't help but shake in fear and excitement, today was the big day, the day he could show his worth as a future hero.
Looking through the gate that led to the entrance of U.A., Izuku began walking to the doors but ended up stopping to take it all in.
'I can't believe I actually reached this far, there's no going back now' Izuku thought, psyching himself up before going for another step.
"Get out of my fucking way Deku" Bakugou growled.
Izuku turned around in shock and became even more surprised when he saw his childhood friend Kacchan.
"Oh hey Kacchan let's do our best out there!" Izuku sputtered out nervously putting his hands up in fear.
All Izuku received was a grunt before Bakugou walked away allowing a sense of relief to wash over Izuku.
'He hasn't changed much' Izuku thought sadly before continuing his trek to the U.A. doors, only to trip on his own feet.
'I haven't even entered the doors and I'm already messing up, oh man' Izuku thought as he braced himself to try and reduce the pain from hitting the floor.
When Izuku felt no pain, he slowly opened his eyes to see his faces inches away from the ground and his whole body seemed to float.
"Ahhh!" Izuku shouted in panic, moving around wildly as he tried to regain his footing.
"Sorry I didn't ask you if it was okay to use my quirk, but I figured you would be okay with it!" Izuku heard a cheery voice say before he felt his feet touch the floor once again.
Turning his head after regaining his composure, he immediately blushed and began internally panicking when he noticed that it was a girl who had saved him.
"T-thanks" Izuku stuttered out.
"No problem! Wow, it's pretty nerve-racking before you go in to take a big test isn't it?" the girl said with a laugh.
"Y-yeah" Izuku forced out.
"Well, see you in the test" the girl said with a wave before leaving.
'Holy crap I just talked to a girl' Izuku thought to himself with a proud face, a sense of accomplishment coursed through Izuku.
Once Izuku noticed the looks everyone was giving him, he quickly began walking once again with a blush on his face.
'This is it, the first step to becoming the best hero, I, Izuku Midoriya, am going to be the greatest hero to ever graduate U.A.' Izuku thought, balling his hand into a fist and squeezing it tightly.
'Here I go!'
"Welcome one and all to my live show! Everybody say hey!"
Silence~
"Keeping it mellow huh? Don't worry, I'm gonna give you the low-down on how this'll go down! Are you ready!?"
Silence~
"Oh my god it's the voice hero "Present Mic" I listen to his radio show every week, it's so amazing that all the Yuuei staff are actually pro heroes" Izuku began mumbling, letting his inner fan boy take over.
"Shut your mouth" Bakugou told Izuku.
"Now pay close attention listeners! We'll be testing your mettle by running a ten-minute practice run at our replica city-district!" Present Mic began.
"You can take whatever you like! Once the presentation is over, gather at the designated area, ya dig!?" Present Mic continued.
"So, they aren't letting friends or classmates work together huh?" Bakugou stated.
"W-we have serial numbers for the exam, but it seems the actual meeting area is different, we're even in different sections" Izuku said as he looked between his card and Bakugou's.
"Keep looking at my card and I'll fucking kill you" Bakugou threatened, glaring daggers at Izuku.
Izuku could only yelp a "yes" before looking straight ahead.
"Damn, this means I wont be able to crush you" Bakugou said with an annoyed tone.
Izuku whimpered slightly before focusing his attention on the teacher.
"We'll be setting up a large number of opponents over the city and your goal is to defeat those opponents, there are three different varieties of opponents and each are worth a different amount of points so plan your attacks wisely!" Present Mic explained.
"The more opponents you eliminate the higher your score will be, and don't think about directly attacking other competitors because that's against the rules, ya dig!?" Present Mic continued.
"Excuse me, may I ask a question!?"
Everyone turned their attention to the owner of the voice which had spoken.
A tall blue haired teen had annoyed look on his face as he pointed directly at the paper they had been given.
"On the handout there are clearly four types of villains listed, such an error would be the height of embarrassment from a top-tier national academy of U.A's caliber, we are the best the country has to offer we expect the best from Japan's most notable school" the teen began.
"Furthermore, you with the curly hair!" the teen shouted, pointing a finger directly at Izuku.
"You've been mumbling this entire time! Stop that" the four eyed teen said with a glare.
"Sorry" Izuku mumbled, embarrassed by the large amount of attention directed at him.
"Thank you examinee 7111 for calling in with your request" Present Mic began.
"The fourth villain type is worth zero points, that guy's just an obstacle we'll be throwing your way, there's one in every battle center, think of it as a hurdle you should try to avoid since there really is no point" Present Mic explained.
"Thank you very much, excuse my initial outburst" the four eyed teen said with a bow before sitting down.
"Well, that's enough from me, I'll leave you all with a sample of our school motto, as General Napoleon Bonaparte once laid down, "A true hero is one who overcomes life's misfortunes" now let's move on to the main event, let me hear a Plus Ultra!" Present Mic shouted.
Silence~
Izuku stood in front of the gate that led to Battle Center B.
"Oh wow! It's so big" Izuku said with wonder.
"Oh man, how much money does U.A. have!? They have multiple cities just like this one!" someone shouted.
'None of these people seem nervous, are they that confident in their quirks?' Izuku thought to himself, shaking from just how nervous he was.
'Oh wait, there's that girl that helped me earlier, maybe I should go talk to her, thank her for her help, yeah' Izuku thought nervously, beginning his trek over to the girl.
"Hold it right there" Izuku heard someone say before he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Huh?" Izuku turned around nervously only to come face to face with the blue-haired four eyed teen from before.
"She seems to be preparing for the trials ahead, are you trying to impede her success?" the teen said with a stern look.
"Think about your actions before you do anything that might hurt others" the teen said before walking away.
"Am I really hurting her growth, have my actions been hurting others this entire time..." Izuku began, mumbling with a worried expression on his face.
Unknown to him, the announcer had started the test and everyone had ran ahead of Izuku while he stayed mumbling.
"Boy at Battle Center B! The test has started, those points aren't going to wait for ya" Present Mic shouted, snapping Izuku out of his muttering.
"Huh!? Oh crap! I'm so far behind" Izuku shouted, seeing the people disappearing into the city.
'Alright, if I want to catch up, I'm going to need a burst of speed, so...' Izuku thought to himself as he rolled up his sleeves, took off his shoes, and rolled up his pants to his knees.
'Let's go, Full Cowl!' Izuku shouted in his mind and on command he felt the power of One for All surging through his body.
'Now for the next step' Izuku thought as he crouched on all fours and transformed his arms and legs into his werewolf form.
"Let's go!" Izuku shouted, and like a speeding bullet he launched himself into the city.
Izuku analyzed the scene that was presented in front of him, most of the bots that were close to the gate were already destroyed, they said the enemies were spread throughout the city so his best shot was to go to areas to which no one has gone, that means his best bet was the other end of the city.
"Alright, time to go" Izuku said to himself before once again speeding through the streets of the city.
Many people were shocked when they saw a speeding green blur fly right past them, the wind from the sheer pressure of the force from the run staggering many of the contestants.
'There! a one pointer!' Izuku shouted in his mind before flying directly at the beast.
The mechanical beast rotated to face young Izuku and locked on to its target before it charged at Izuku.
'SMASH!' Izuku shouted and with a powerful punch, destroyed the one pointer swiftly.
"I've got one point, gotta keep going" Izuku said to himself, slapping himself on the cheeks to stop himself from getting nervous before once again running.
As he ran around the city and took down the robots, he couldn't help but notice the lack of robots in the area, so far he had only encountered one pointers and had gone up to fifteen points in total.
He had unknowingly ended up in the middle of the city, where most of the people were, he had to move away from all the people.
"I still need more points! I can't fail All Might here" Izuku said to himself before crouching on all fours.
"Five minutes remaining!"
"Huh?!" Izuku shouted in surprise.
Before he could comment on the lack of time, the whole city shook and a large dust cloud covered a certain area just a ways away from where he was.
From the dust cloud emerged a gigantic mechanical beast as tall as the tallest buildings in the city.
"Really!? That's the obstacle worth zero points!? Isn't this a bit much!?" Izuku shouted in surprise.
'There's no point in engaging it, I better get away from it and find the other bots' Izuku concluded, nodding to himself before beginning a sprint.
"Ah!"
Izuku turned in shock when he noticed the girl who had stopped his fall earlier was stuck under a large piece of cement and unable to free herself, if the beast kept going where it was going, it would no doubt crush her, and end her life.
Without a second thought, Izuku pumped one hundred percent of One for All into his legs before jumping straight into the air, shocking everyone who was watching the scene play out.
'Damn! my legs are out of commission, even with the shock absorption and resistance of my wolf feet, I still can't handle one hundred percent of One for All, but that doesn't matter, I have to save that girl!' Izuku thought, clenching his transformed fist, he began pumping one hundred percent of One for All into his arm.
"SMASH!" Izuku shouted, landing the punch square into the mechanical beasts face causing it to cave in and explode, and before long, the entire beast was downed by the powerful punch.
'Damn it! Now my right arm and my legs are out of commission! How will I land!? I could punch the ground and reduce the damage I receive, but then I wont be able to score any more points!' Izuku began.
'I have no choice!' Izuku concluded before charging One for All into his left arm.
"SMA..." Izuku began, only to stop when the force of a slap knocked him out of the way.
Izuku closed his eyes and opened them again, only to see himself floating off the ground.
"Release!" Izuku heard a voice shout.
Izuku fell onto the ground abruptly causing him to wince in pain when his face collided with the floor.
'S-she saved me, again...' Izuku thought, tears forming in the corners of his eyes.
He noticed her begin to throw up and couldn't help but wince at the sick face she was making.
"She gave me a chance! I can still get at least one more point" Izuku shouted as he tried to move his entire body with his left arm.
"Time's up!"
'Five minutes passed that quickly!?' Izuku thought before promptly passing out from shock.
'I failed All Might, if my calculations are correct I barely passed the written portion of the exam, that doesn't even matter because I only managed to get fifteen points in the practical exam' Izuku thought with a sigh, a look of defeat clearly shown on his face.
'But I wont give up! I'll just have to try harder next time!' Izuku thought to himself, regaining his confidence for a bit.
"Izuku a letter! Izuku they came in with a letter! It's your test results from U.A." Inko shouted, shuffling on the floor in panic.
Izuku stared at the letter in his mothers hand, this was it, he knew he already failed, but he should at least hear what they had to say, maybe they'll give him some good advice to improve.
Izuku got up and took the letter from his mothers hand and walked over to his room before locking himself in.
Sitting on the chair in front of his desk, Izuku stared grimly at the letter that contained the results of his test.
Putting on a brave face, he picked up the letter and tore it in half, releasing a disk like projector.
The disk fell flat on the desk and activated, illuminating the room with the light coming from the projection.
"Booya! I am here as a projection now!" All Might shouted, his face covering the entire projection.
"Wait, All Might!? I thought this was from U.A.!?" Izuku asked in shock.
"I know it's been a while, but with great power comes a great amount of paperwork" All Might began before clearing his throat.
"My apologies young man, the truth is, I didn't come to this city just to fight villains! You're looking at newest U.A. faculty member!" All Might shouted with pride.
"You're seriously going to be working at U.A!?" Izuku asked.
"Hn! Huh? Yes what's the matter? Who's showboating!? Oh sorry I'll wrap it up, but I have to show him something first, wait I have to do how many of these things!?" All Might released a sigh before refocusing on the camera.
"Right! So, moving on! Even though you passed the written test, you only managed to get fifteen points in the practical exam, sorry..." All Might said, pausing after giving the bad news.
"I know that... of course I know... it's all I've been able to think about..." Izuku muttered sadly.
'I'm a failure... not only to me but to All Might..." Izuku thought dejectedly.
"Fortunately there were other factors! But before we get to that I have another surprise! Here, look! A short clip for your viewing pleasure!" All Might shouted, catching Izuku's attention.
Izuku's eyes widened when he saw the girl who had saved him on the screen.
"Um, excuse me? Do you have a sec? Sorry to interrupt..."
"She showed up after the exams to talk about you young man! What did she have say? You'll have to stay tuned to find out!" All Might shouted before continuing the video.
"You know the boy with the really messy hair and all the freckles, he has like little wolf ears and a tail? I don't know how to describe his face, I guess kind of plain looking? Uh, doesn't really stand out that much or anything?" the girl began.
'I know that description! That's me!' Izuku concluded with a shocked look on his face.
"Um, I was wondering if it was possible to transfer some of the points I earned in the exam? I heard him say something about getting at least one more point in... I just think it's crazy, how could someone who took down that giant robot with ease have so little points" the girl continued.
Izuku stared in shock at the girl, memories of his many failures and doubts flashing through his head.
"He would've had a better score if he hadn't stopped to help me!"
'Is she really willing to sacrifice her points? For me...?' Izuku thought.
"He saved me! I have to make it up to him! Please sir! Can't you just... give him my points!?" the girl shouted.
All Might paused the video and turned to face the camera.
Izuku from the sheer surprise of what that girl was doing stood up and stared at the screen in wonder.
"You have a quirk now, yes, but it's your actions that inspire others!" All Might said causing Izuku to smile and let out a small laugh.
"And that's why I'm here! You see the practical exam was not graded on combat alone!" All Might began.
Izuku once again was shocked by what All Might said, looking at the screen as he once again continued the video.
"Thanks for showing up at the station with your request, but the kids fine on his own, you don't have to give him your points" Present Mic said as he patted the girl on the head.
"How could a hero course reject someone who is committed to saving others no matter the consequences to himself! After all, that is what makes a hero! And that's what my Alma Mater is all about, training those who would risk their lives for the greater good!" All Might began.
"So we have rescue points! A panel of judges watches and they award points for heroic acts beyond just fighting villains!" All Might continued.
"Izuku Midoriya, sixty rescue points! And Ochako Uraraka! forty-five rescue points!" All Might shouted with pride.
Izuku couldn't help but shake in surprise, he was in second place and right under Kacchan! He couldn't believe it! He actually passed!
"You both passed the exam! Welcome Izuku! You have made it! You are now part of the Hero Academia!" All Might announced.
Izuku couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face, he had done what no one else thought he could! He got into U.A.!
"T-thanks All Might" Izuku shouted as he wiped the tears from his face.
He had done it, he was on the path of becoming a true hero!
That's a wrap folks!
This was kind of a fillerish chapter, you know just getting Izuku into U.A. with only robot killing as the action.
Next chapter Izuku starts his first day of school! What challenges lay ahead of young Izuku!? Stay tuned to find out!
Cya!
