Chapter 3

Hey, everyone. I hope this hasn't been too long. With how my life goes, I generally don't have a lot of time to focus on this, plus I have several other projects that I want to work on. I really appreciate your patience as some people had trouble finding or getting to the poll. The poll has been pretty clear that Momo will be shipped with Izuku. She had 55 votes while Nejire and Itsuka had 22 and 10 votes respectively, so even with all the votes in the comments that I kept track of somewhat but didn't really count just because Momo won by such a large margin. I should probably note that I chose them based on a few key factors. I wanted someone that would be able to have a similar relationship that King and Diane but at the same time not just be a repeat that was why I chose the three as candidates. I might change my mind on who the pairing is if enough people reasonably explain why it should be changed or I decide I don't like the direction the story is going in. The poll is just a direction that my readers want me to go, but this is my story at the end of the day. Actually, when you review, I don't want to hear about how much you like this story, I want to know why you like it and what you don't like. Most of my problems when writing comes down to figuring out what to do next. If you provide me with actual feedback and not just spamming for me to continue, then it is a big help. Now I could go on, but instead let's just get on with the story based from the two series which I don't own.

"Izuku, are you up? The entrance exam is today," Inko said knocking on his door. It had been an eventful ten months since Izuku came to her with a strange woman and equally strange dog, but it had been kind to her. It was quite a sight to shock finding out all that had been happening to her son behind her back and that he possessed magical powers, but it had been an eye-opener for the mother. With a proper diet and motivation, she had returned to her previous looks and took control of her life.

"I'm in the kitchen," Izuku shouted.

"What are you doing in here? You should be preparing for your exam?" Inko asked entering their little kitchen to find her son working on a meal with Oslo happily eating from a bowl on the floor.

"Well as a fairy, I don't actually need a lot of sleep, so I've been up for the past few hours reviewing everything, and with the Pussycat's, Gowther's, and Merlin's tutoring, I'm confident I'm going to have no problems with the written exam," Izuku said plating the meal and presenting it to his mother. It was an omelette souffle. "Ban's been teaching me how to cook as part of my training, and we've been going through a lot these past few months, so I thought a nice meal would be the least I could do for everything you've done for me."

"Oh Izuku," Inko said teary-eyed taking a bite of her meal. "This is delicious!" She said happily.

"I'm glad you liked it. It's nice to see that Ban's efforts aren't going to waste," Izuku said finishing preparing his meal and digging in. Inko looked at her son sighing. "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing really, it just seems like you've grown so much in the past few months, and I feel like I did nothing to help. I've never supported your dream, and I never noticed you were being bullied. I feel like such a horrible mother!" She confided sobbing only to be met with a hug.

"None of that," Izuku said firmly. "You are the best mom I could ask for. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive." A choked sob came from his mother. "I'm sorry to tell you this, but I've been sugar-coating a lot of what I went through. Students would corner me, steal my stuff, graffiti my desk, and beat me up occasionally, and no one stopped them because I was just the useless, quirk less kid in my class who continued to dream when I should've given up. But I never did, and do you know why?" He asked his mother who shook her head in disbelief. "I had a wonderful mother who cared for me, loved me, and reassured me to come home to. It didn't matter what happened that day, you were always there to cheer me up."

"Thanks Izuku," Inko said returning the hug before an alarm rang from his phone. "Now, don't let me keep you waiting. Go show them that you can be a wonderful hero." She said separating herself from her son.

"Got it. Come on, Oslo," Izuku said grabbing Chastiefol and floating out the door. "I'll see you, mom," he yelled.

"Even though Merlin took me here a few times to meet Nezu to explain the situation, it still is overwhelming," Izuku said looking at the entrance to U.A.

"Aroof," Oslo said perched on Izuku's shoulders prompting several students to look at him strangely.

"Of course I'm nervous. You're just lucky Principal Nezu likes you and you get to watch with Merlin and the others," Izuku said.

"Roof," Oslo barked.

"What a cute dog," a happy voice said from behind Izuku. He turned to find a smiling brunette. "Sorry if I startled you, but I saw your dog and wanted to pet him? Can I?"

"What do you say, Oslo?" Izuku asked getting an appreciative huff from the Black Hound as he jumped down. "He says yes, uh…"

"Oh, I'm Ochako Uraraka," she said happily petting the dog.

"It's nice to meet you. My name is," Izuku started.

"KING!" A boisterous voice interrupted Izuku. It was a tall boy with a dark brown buzz cut.

"Inasa, how're you doing?" Izuku asked.

"I'm doing AMAZING. I'm so EXCITED for this! I can't wait to see all the hot-blooded people!" Inasa shouted passionately.

"I'm glad your excited, but your kind of ignoring someone," Izuku said pointing at Ochako.

"Huh…" Inasa said before straightening out. "I AM SO VERY SORRY!" He said slamming his head towards the ground only for a pillow to intercept his route. "This is so soft!"

"Inasa, you have to quit doing this," Izuku moaned as he retrieved Chastiefol from his friend as he got up. "One of these days, I'm not going to be there to soften the blow, and you're going to get a concussion from doing that."

"Hahaha!" Ochako laughed. "I'm sorry for laughing, but it's nice to see people so relaxed before such an important exam. You guys must be such good friends."

"Actually, we met about two month ago," Izuku said.

"Really?" She asked as Oslo climbed back on Izuku.

"Yeah, I met Inasa while I was practicing for the entrance exam. He should be coming in as a recommended student, but after he met me, he decided he wanted to try out for the regular exam," Izuku explained.

"Plus his big sister has a wind quirk like me. She's been helping me get stronger, and I wanted to show my appreciation by being a true hot-blooded hero in the test! I AM SO EXCITED!" Inasa shouted.

"Not to interrupt this walk down memory lane, but your going to be late if you don't get a move on," King said.

"Oh crap, the exam!" Izuku shouted running towards the building. "We're going to be late."

"Let's go!" Inasa shouted.

"King, Inasa, wait for me!" Ochako yelled running after them.

Thankfully, the trio had managed to get inside with enough time and after an uneventful, but stressful written exam, they were gathered into a large auditorium. Izuku decided to rest his head on Chastiefol while he waited for it to start to the amusement of Inasa.

"WHAT'S UP LISTENERS, CAN I GET A HEEEY!" The eccentric Present Mic screamed to all the hopeful heroes.

"HEEEY!" Inasa shouted excitedly.

"GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE'S EXCITED!" Present Mic said. "NOW, WE'RE GOING SEND YOU OUT INTO OUR REPLICA CITY-DISTRICTS WHERE YOU'LL HAVE TEN MINUTES TO COMPLETE THE EXAM! THERE ARE THREE DIFFERENT TYPES, EACH WORTH 1, 2, AND 3 POINTS BASED ON THEIR DIFFICULTY! YOUR GOAL IS TO DESTROY AS MANY "VILLAINS" AS YOU CAN WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT, BUT DON'T THINK ABOUT ATTACKING ANY OF THE OTHER COMPETITORS, BECAUSE THAT'S ILLEGAL!"

"Excuse me, can I ask a question?" A tall blue-haired boy asked before pulling out the hand-out. "On the hand-out, there are clearly four types of villains listed." He said dramatically before pointing at Izuku. "And you the sleeping one, your distracting. If you think that U.A. is a joke, then leave this place at once." He reprimanded to the amusement of Izuku and Inasa.

"You need to learn to relax. We're trying to get into a school to prepare us to be heroes where people's lives are going to be on our hands. If you're distracted by a person trying to relax before a stressful occasion than how are you going to be a good hero?" Izuku rebutted causing the blunette to sit down in shock.

"THANK YOU FOR THE SEGUE, EXAMINEE 7111, AND EXCELLENT POINT EXAMINEE 0401! THE FOURTH VILLAIN IS CALLED THE ZERO-POINTER. NORMALLY THESE WOULD ONLY BE WORTH ZERO-POINTS, HENCE THE NAME, BUT THIS YEAR WE'RE DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. ANYONE THAT ATTACKS THE ZERO-POINTER GETS A MULTIPLIER OF ZERO TO ANY VILLAIN POINTS GAINED. NOW LET'S HEAD TO THE MAIN EVENT! "PLUS ULTRA!" AND MAY YOU ALL SUFFER GLADLY IN THE TRIALS TO COME!"

Xxx Fairy King's Return xxX

"Wow, this is really big," Izuku said looking at the massive entrance to the testing facility.

"King! I'm so glad to see you," Ochako's voice said as she ran to him. "Where's your dog?"

"Oslo with the principal right now. He was very excited to meet another animal with a quirk," Izuku explained.

"Wow, animals with quirks are really rare. I can't believe I got to meet one," Ochako said happily. "By the way, I've been wondering, what's up with your pillow? Does it have something to do with your quirk?"

"Kind of. Chastiefol is a focus point for my powers. I can change it into various different weapons and control it telepathically. I can also levitate. If you want, I can give you a lift and drop you off in the field?" Izuku asked Chastiefol floating in midair between .

"Are you sure? We're trying to fight for points. Is this even allowed?" Ochako asked.

"Present Mic says that we can't attack other examinees, not help them. Besides we're both trying to get into the hero course. I'm not going to leave behind a friend just so I can get a few points. If I can't help my friends, how can I help strangers," Izuku said.

"Thanks. I really am not that fast so if I had to run, I probably would fall behind," Ochako said.

"Don't worry. Just hop onto Chastiefol and I'll take care of the rest," Izuku said motioning to the floating pillow.

"This is so soft," Ochoko said flopping down on the green pillow.

"THE PRACTICAL EXAM WILL START SOON! ALL EXAMINEES GET READY!" Present Mic shouted.

"Hold on tight," Izuku said floating into the air with Ochako wobbling on the floating pillow.

"This is so cool!" Ochako said as they floated high above the crowd of other contestants unnoticed towards the massive gate.

"Yeah, but get ready. I'm going to be taking off as soon as the exam starts. I'll drop you off in an unoccupied area with several robots," Izuku explained.

"But what about you?" Ochako asked.

"I can fly kilometers in seconds. I have no worries about finding robots to destroy," Izuku said.

"START!" Present Mic screamed as the gate swung open.

"Hold tight," Izuku told Ochako.

"King, what do you mean hold tigh…" Ochako screamed as they flew into the arena well ahead of all the shocked examinees. They could vaguely hear Mic reprimanding the wannabe heroes behind them as the duo reached the far end of the fake city where several robots were wandering around.

"Alright Ochako, here looks like a good spot. I'm going to set you down," Izuku told her guiding his pillow down to the ground.

"That was fun!" Ochako said slightly dizzy as she hopped off Chastiefol. "Good luck!"

"Good luck! I'll see you after the exam," Izuku said as he flew off. A little while later, he found half a dozen various robots. "Chastiefol Fifth Configuration: Increase!" Izuku commanded. Chastiefol dissolved into thousands of kunai-like spears that Izuku directed towards the unaware robots decimating them.

"That was easier than expected. Now to find more," Izuku said as he disappeared in a burst of speed.

It was a little later that he found a wincing boy firing a laser at a one pointer unaware of the two pointer approaching behind poised to attack.

"Chastiefol Second Configuration: Guardian," Izuku said causing the current spear to change into a giant green bear which quickly crushed the attacking robot startling the boy. "Hey are you alright?" He asked.

"Merci. Another second and I would have been a crepe," the boy said flamboyantly.

"No problem. Just don't forget to watch your back," Izuku said flying off.

XxxFairy King's ReturnxxX

"It looks like we have quite a talented crop of students this year," Nezu said in a private room. "Insight, agility, judgement and sheer fighting prowess. We can gauge their respective skills based on the points they earned. What do you think of what you've seen so far, Lady Merlin? I know your apprentice is here this year," The bear-mouse-dog thing asked.

"So far he hasn't disappointed. He currently has the highest amount of villain points and quite a few hero points," Merlin said.

"What exactly is his magic ability? He chose to become the new Fairy King, but did you discover why he was able to choose his magic power?" The principal asked.

"It is buried in the root of his true magic ability, Inherit!" Merlin explained.

"Inherit?"

"Inherit is a magical ability whose full power is unknown. What we have figured out is that upon awakening, it chooses a group of people with strong magical abilities that would fit the user. When Izuku chose King, his magic transformed him into a fairy-human hybrid, so he gets all the benefits of being a fairy, while being able to pass it down to any children he may have," Merlin explained.

"How strong would you say Midoriya is?" Nezu asked.

"At his full limited strength, he is about as strong as All Might in his prime, with experience being the big deciding factor should the two ever fight," she said. "But a unique feature of Izuku's body is that he can hide his wings limiting his power to a tenth of his full strength. Should he ever release his full power, then very few people will be able to stand up to him."

"Then we should be glad that he is trying so hard to be a hero," Nezu said revealing a button. "I do so want to see how he responds to this year's trials."

XxxFairy King's ReturnxxX

"And that makes 90," Izuku said destroying another three pointer.

"King!" Ochako called out from below.

"Ochako, how's it going?" He asked floating towards her.

"Great. I got 42 points," the girl excitedly said. "How are you doing?"

"I got …"

*BOOM*

The ground underneath them started to shake as several building were destroyed revealing a massive robot. Izuku quickly scooped his new friend up and floated to a nearby building clear from the path of destruction.

"Ochako, go help out anyone you can. I'm going to distract it?" Izuku said seriously looking directly at the rampaging robot, Chastiefol twirling in spear form beside him.

"But what about your points?" Ochako asked.

"Look at everyone," Izuku commanded. Ochako looked down and saw all the examinees rushing to get past each other. Some were pushing others down, others were trapped under the rubble, and a few were helping the teenagers to get away. "Right now, points don't matter. There lives do. You can help them while I keep the robot occupied."

"Alright, drop me off near somebody that is trapped under rubble. My quirk will let me easily help anyone trapped," Ochako said seriously.

"Alright, hold tight," Izuku said grabbing Ochako and flying towards a trapped teenager.

"THREE MINUTES REMAINING," Present Mic's voice announced.

"Good luck, Ochako," Izuku said seriously before turning to the massive robot. "Let's hope this works," He muttered as he flew in front of the zero-pointer.

"Hey metalhead!" Izuku shouted somehow getting the robot's attention.

"Target sighted," it spoke as pulled back a fist.

"Ok, distracting it works," Izuku said as he flew higher directing the fist away from the scrambling examinees. He continued to fly around narrowly avoiding the wild swings of the robot keeping it in place.

"KING! I GOT EVERYONE OUT!" Ochako shouted from a nearby building.

"Ochako, get away!" Izuku shouted as the zero-pointer switched to the more vulnerable target. It threw a punch that destroyed an adjacent building. "Dammit!" Izuku shouted directing Chastiefol towards the arm slicing it off. He quickly grabbed her before flying to a roof a

"King, why?" Ochako asked tearfully. "You probably had more than enough points to pass. Why did you give it all up for me?"

"Because I couldn't sit back and watch you get hurt," Izuku explained getting a disbelieving look from Ochako. "I never had a lot of friends growing up. My powers didn't show up until the past year, so I was never treated well growing up, but you didn't even care about that. When I saw you about to get hit, I couldn't stand there and do nothing. Even though we only met today, your health matters a lot more to me than any amount of points."

"Target found. Preparing destruction," the zero-pointer stated as it pulled back its arm.

"Now, if you'll excuse me," Izuku said as Chastiefol burrowed its way into the ground. A giant flower burst out of the ground towering over the zero-pointer. "Chastiefol Fourth Configuration: Sunflower!" Izuku shouted as the flower fully bloomed and released several beams of energy obliterating the zero-pointer.

"Woah," Ochako exhaled.

"THE TEST IS OVER!" Mic screamed over the loudspeakers.

"Let's go meet Inasa," Izuku suggested dropping the two off at the entrance. "I'm sure he has a lot to say about his test, and I'm a little hungry. I know a place that makes the best food."

"Yeah, let me just go grab my stuff," Ochako whispered dazily.

XxxFairy King's ReturnxxX

"Inasa! How did you do?" Izuku asked floating towards the gates of the academy.

"It was so amazing! I saw so many hot-blooded people. There's this guy with some sort of hardening quirk that was facing every robot head on!" Inasa said excitedly.

"Interesting. A hardening quirk is a really useful quirk in hero work. It can be used as a shield and possibly a shield," Izuku mumbled.

"I have no idea what you are talking about!" Inasa shouted. "How do you think you did?"

"I did alright. I got about 90 villain, helped a few people, and demolished the zero-pointer," Izuku said nonchalantly.

"That is amazing!" Inasa screamed before he just stopped. "Wait, you did what!? But Present Mic said that anyone who fought the zero-pointer would lose all their points!"

"Yeah, that's a lie," Izuku bluntly informed his friend.

"WHAT!" Inasa shouted.

"Yeah, Merlin explained that U.A. likes to try to pull the wool over student's eyes. The point deduction for fighting the giant robot is a lie. It makes sense when you think about it. Sometimes you have to fight a far larger and stronger foe to protect people and limit property damage. There may be penalties in doing so, but it is still your responsibility," Izuku explained.

"That is AMAZING! You got all that from today!" Inasa shouted.

"Not really. I read Present Mic's heart when he started his lecture. I didn't put much thought into it because of the exam," Izuku said getting a facefault from his friend.

"I don't know how to respond to that," Inasa mumbled into the ground.

"There you guys are," Ochako said running up to them. Oslo following behind her but pounced on Inasa when he spotted the boy.

"Oslo, get off me!" Inasa shouted trying to push the hound off of him.

"Aroof," Oslo barked.

"Oslo, he doesn't have any food on him. Get off him," Izuku commanded.

*Grumble*

"Eh, speaking of food. Can we go get some? I'm really hungry," Ochako said holding her stomach.

"Got it. Oslo, if you would, we need a portal to the Fairy King's Forest," Izuku asked the dog.

"Aroof," Oslo barked suddenly growing in size.

"What the hell is that?" Ochako shouted.

"You remember how I said that Oslo has a quirk?" Izuku asked getting a nod from the girl. "He has the ability to transport things that enter his mouth anywhere. He's going to be taking us to the best chef in the world," Izuku said flying towards the mouth. "Are you coming or not?" He asked flying through.

"Wait for me!" Inasa shouted jumping after Izuku.

"The food better be good," Ochako mumbled.

XxxFairy King's ReturnxxX

"This is the best food ever!" Ochako shouted digging into a plate of katsudon.

"I know. Ban's cooking is the best!" Inasa agreed.

"I'm glad you liked it," Ban said sitting at a nearby stump cross legged. Elaine was sitting in his lap cuddled up to his chest. "So Little King, how was the test?"

"It was really easy. I got about 90 villain points and who knows how many alternative points. I'm sure I passed with the highest score," Izuku said.

"But you attacked the zero-pointer? Shouldn't your point total go to zero," Ochako asked.

"Nope. Mic was lying about the penalty. All that attacking the zero-pointer did was give me zero points," Izuku said.

"Really, but he seemed so honest when he told us the rules?" Ochako said.

"That would be true if not for U.A.'s 'don't just a book by it's cover' policy," Merlin said walking into the clearing before dodging a spear strike from Chastiefol.

"Waah! Merlin, you need to stop doing that!" Izuku shouted as he recalled Chastiefol and turned it back into a pillow.

"But your reactions are so humorous, Little King," she replied.

"King, who is this?" Ochako asked looking at the new woman with some amount of trepidation.

"This is Lady Merlin, the owner and head researcher of several support companies. She is also my main teacher when training my powers," Izuku explained.

"And he has been such a wonderful student. Always asking questions and applying his lessons in new ways. Much better than my previous student." Merlin commented. "Speaking of learning, just because you had a stressful day does not mean that you get to slack in your training."

"Oh come on. Can't I get one day to relax," Izuku complained.

"No. In a real fight, you can't relax. We still need to work on you using Configuration Six in hand to hand combat. It is the only way for you to personally fight physically," Merlin informed him.

"Can't I finish eating at least?" Izuku said looking at his bowl of half eaten Katsudon.

"Nope," Ban drawled suddenly behind Izuku. He grabbed the unaware boy by the shoulder and threw him into the forest. "So get your game face on because I want a good fight."

"I'm going to kill you Ban. I know it's impossible, but I'm going to find a way," Izuku mumbled to himself as he pulled Chastiefol towards himself. "Chastiefol Sixth Configuration: Yggdra Cloth!" Izuku shouted as the pillow wrapped itself around him. A pair of spiked gauntlets and boots formed around his arms and feet.

"If you wanted a fight, then you got ONE!" Izuku shouted rocketing towards Ban and punching him in the gut causing blood to fly out of the man's mouth.

"Now we're talking!" Ban shouted happily. From there, the brawl started. The two would disappear and reappear trading blows.

"Woah. I knew King was powerful, but I didn't know he was this strong," Ochako said.

"It is so AMAZING! I want to get as strong as him!" Inasa shouted before turning towards Elaine. "Do you have any more tips for training my quirk, Elaine-sensei?"

"Have you been able to control your quirk like I showed you with minimal movements?" Elaine asked.

"I am so very sorry!" Inasa screamed trying to slam his head into the ground but was stopped by a gust of wind that kept him in a 90 degree bow. "I can't seem to get it under control. I can generate as much wind as I want, but I can't control it without grand movements!"

"That's alright. I don't expect you to improve your control in a few days. Try to use it in short bursts instead of for long periods," Elaine suggested.

"Yes, sensei!" Inasa said before moving towards an unoccupied area away from the sparring duo and started releasing gusts of wind.

"Yum," Ochako said gobbling down her meal ignoring the goings on around her in order to focus on her meal.

Chapter end

Well, I'm glad this is over. I got to be honest, I did not expect to be done with this chapter as quickly as I did. Looking back over this chapter, I realize that I still have a few plot points that I need to wrap up. All Might for one. Don't worry, I plan to (though I don't know when) write a few side stories in between chapters or after the chapter is finished. Inasa was a lot of fun to write. I don't know why, but whenever I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do, he just kept appearing, so I just kept him in. I don't regret it even though I'm not exactly sure how to write his dialogue. Speaking of dialogue, to my neighbors in Canada and all French-speaking countries, I must apologize for what I am about to say. I do not speak the language, so please do not take offense on what I am about to write. I would like it if you do not attack the United States, for that is where I keep my stuff.

Omake:

"Chastiefol Second Configuration: Guardian," Izuku said causing the current spear to change into a giant green bear which quickly crushed the attacking robot startling the boy. "Hey are you alright?" He asked.

"Merci. Another second and I would have been a crepe," the boy said flamboyantly in a French accent.

"Oh great, it's a frenchwoman," Izuku mumbled.

"Excusez-Moi, I am a french man," the boy said indignantly.

"Do you shave your armpits?" Izuku asked.

"Oui."

"Frenchwomen."

That is all. I hope you all enjoyed it. Please if you are going to leave a comment, please leave me constructive criticism and not just you saying how much you like it. I will fully acknowledge that I am absolute garbage at continuing writing so any help towards flaws or strengths in my writing. Thank you for reading and I hope that I don't take six months to write a new chapter.
