I was surprised to get 19 favorites, 25 followers, and 4 reviews right after publishing the story, and nearly 300 views. I realized those numbers aren't massive, but that was a faster growth than my previous stories have had. I wrote this chapter pretty quickly, so sorry if it isn't good, but I feel that this is part of the universe that they need to talk about a little bit more.
Thanks to everyone for reading, make sure to favorite/follow or leave a review on if you like the story or not, or any small suggestions you may have.
Izuku was unable to contact All Might after the exam, and he couldn't legally practice his quirk in public without All Might there as supervision. So Izuku decided to go update his quirk registry.
He walked into the large government building, and walked over to the quirk registry, and walked up to the woman at the counter. He then said in a voice, that sounded like he had said it a million times. "My name is Izuku Midoriya, ID number-"
"Yeah, yeah… Midoriya, quirk, Repulsive Force. You here to update your quirk, or did you want to look through the declassified parts quirk registry again?" the woman said in an exhausted tone, this wasn't the first time Midoriya was here, "I gotta tell you, there's only 63 new quirks since you came last time."
"I'm here to update my quirk, and if I have some time afterwards I'll look at the registry."
The woman sighed and reached behind her, her arm stretching to a nearby filing cabinet, she pulled out a folder, nearly 3 inches thick and set it on the counter, "You're lucky that it hadn't been re-filed yet… otherwise…" she slid a finger across her neck with a deathful stare at Midoriya.
She handed him the folder and started pulling out some paperwork for him to fill out, "So what are you adding this time?" she asked.
"I'm not adding anything, I'm removing the physical limit on my quirk" Midoriya said casually.
The woman looked at Midoriya, ready to kill him, "That is so much more paperwork…"
She put the papers in her hands away and gave Midoriya a larger set of papers, "You know the drill, fill them out and then go to quirk testing."
Midoriya walked over to an area of chairs, he then noticed the brown haired girl from the entrance exam sitting at one of the seats waiting for her number to be called.
Midoriya sat a few seats away from her, close enough to talk, but far enough away that it wasn't creepy, and he started filling out his paperwork.
Uraraka eventually noticed Midoriya, and yelled out excitedly, "You're that plain faced kid from the exam!"
It startled Midoriya making him drop his pen.
Uraraka started talking about how cool it was to see him jumping from building to building, then blowing the head off the robot, using dozens of hand gestures and sound effects.
While she was talking, Midoriya was on the ground looking around for the pen, he had no idea where it had rolled off to.
"Here you go" he heard Uraraka say.
He stood on his knees and turned his head, noticing he was face to face to the girl squatting next to him.
He fell over, surprised to see her so close to him.
"You needed a pen right? You can use mine, I already finished filling out my forms" she said trying to hand him the pen.
Midoriya hesitantly took the pen and struggled to say, "T-thank you…" his voice trembling in nervousness.
"So are you moving here to go to U.A. as well? My quirk was registered at another office so I had to get it registered here too, that way I can submit my costume designs to U.A." Uraraka said as she sat back in her seat.
"N-no, I'm just… I needed to update my quirk registry" Midoriya said as he sat in his seat.
Uraraka moved closer, sitting in the seat right next to Midoriya, "My name is Ochaco Uraraka, my quirk is called Gravity" she said with a huge grin on her face.
"I'm I-Izuku Midoriya. I have… my quirk is called Repulsive Force" he said nervously as there was a girl sitting so close to him.
Uraraka then looked at the massive folder that was his quirk registry, it was 3 inches thick, while her's was just a handful of papers.
"Eh? Midoriya, why is your quirk registry so big?" she asked as she held her folder to his as a comparison.
"Because he comes in once or twice a month when he finds out something new about his quirk!" the woman at the counter yelled out.
"Do you really update it that oftenly?" Uraraka asked.
Midoriya nodded, "But some of the times I'm here, I'm reading the list of registered quirks."
"You're allowed to do that?"
"All the declassified ones…" Midoriya explained.
Uraraka opened her mouth to say something else, when a feminine voice said, "Don't I know you?"
Midoriya didn't look thinking the voice was talking to Uraraka, "I don't think so… I'm Ochaco Uraraka, nice to meet you."
"Kyoka Jiro. I was actually talking to him" the voice replied.
Midoriya looked up and saw a girl with earphone jacks connected to her earlobes.
"You're that guy who saved me from the slime villain!" Jiro yelled out as soon as she saw his face, "Are you trying to get an approval for your hero costume?"
"No I'm just updating my quirk registry" Midoriya said in a timid voice.
"Did you not apply to U.A.? I was sure you would have gotten in" Jiro asked.
"He did apply to U.A. he and I were in the same exam!" Uraraka yelled out.
"So what did your letter say?" Jiro asked as she sat on the opposite side of Midoriya.
Midoriya's face was now as red as a tomato, not one, but TWO girls were talking to him, "I- I don't… my letter didn't come yet…" Midoriya stammered.
Jiro then said, "Well, I just got mine yesterday…"
"And mine came a few days ago" Uraraka added.
There was suddenly a flutter in Midoriya's gut, he was probably going to have his letter waiting for him at home.
He had just finished up his paperwork, when the woman at the counter yelled out, "The three of you can go to quirk testing now… Midoriya you mind guiding them?"
Midoriya stood up and nodded, he took a gulp and said, "Follow me."
Midoriya led the two girls through the government building with ease, typing in the codes necessary to get through the doors leading to quirk testing.
Security guards nodded at Midoriya, and random workers waved to him as he went by.
"You have a family member who works here or something?" Jiro asked.
Midoriya shook his head, "I'm just here a lot."
The eventually made it to quirk testing.
It was a large gym with a table with three people eating their lunches, "Mo-doriyo" one of the people said happily with full mouth. Then Jiro and Uraraka followed Midoriya in. The three people quick hid their lunches, and swallowed what was in their mouths.
"We didn't know other people were joining you" the guy who had talked food in his mouth said.
"I just need approval on this device for my hero costume at U.A." Jiro said putting the papers on the table.
"An amp? Sure… whatever…" the female official said stamping Jiro's paper, "Just turn this in at the counter."
Jiro then left, being guided back by a security guard.
"What about you?" the female official asked Uraraka.
"I'm moving here to go to U.A. so I have to register my quirk for this district" she explained.
The first official then asked Midoriya, "And you, Midoriya?"
"I have to remove something from my quirk registry" he said handing the file over.
"Let's see the most recent update describes your quirk as, "The ability to create control quick bursts or steady streams of pressure from your body, mimicking the power of repulsive telekinesis, the limit is 5 pounds of pressure" what do you need to change this time?"
"I have to take off the limit" Midoriya said bluntly.
The three officials said nothing, just looking at him. They then started laughing, "That's a good one Midoriya… your limit hasn't increased since you were 10 years old. What is it now 7 pounds of pressure?"
"More like a thousand…" Midoriya said timidly.
The three officials got dead quiet, sensing that Midoriya wasn't joking around.
"Can you show us?" the female official asked, pointing at a large weight on the gym floor.
Midoriya nodded, walking to weight, he placed a hand on it and started focusing his quirk at 8%.
Nothing.
12%.
Still nothing.
Midoriya pushed his quirk to the safety limit of 20%.
The weight slowly started sliding across the gym floor.
Once it was a meter away, he stopped.
Rubbing his arm, that felt like it was on the verge of breaking.
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" the expressions of the three officials screamed.
The third official, who had been quiet so far quickly composed himself, tightening his tie, he brushed his hair back with his fingers, then in the calmest voice possible said, "What the fuck, Izuku?"
Uraraka laughed, "You guys should have seen him at the U.A. entrance exam, destroyed a robot 50 stories tall just by slapping it!"
"Once more Izuku, what the fuck?" The third official repeat in his calm voice.
"What happened is that I realized I was applying my quirk the wrong way" Midoriya lied, "I had been self-limiting myself because I was using my quirk wrong. Once I switched my method, my years of training suddenly avalanched into my quirk, make it much stronger."
The first official looked as if he was on the verge of having a psychotic breakdown, they had seen Midoriya so much, and he changed so rapidly it made no sense.
The third official, was the only one not losing their mind, they then said, "Alright Izuku, we will update your quirk registry. Did you have any costume designs you wanted to get approved?"
"I haven't gotten my letter from U.A. yet…" Midoriya explained.
"We can pre-approve it, moron…"
Midoriya hadn't realized that was possible, he quickly grabbed a few pieces of paper and started writing up costume elements, "Let Uraraka do her quirk testing while I work on this" he said as he sat on the floor and started furiously scribbling on the papers, muttering to himself about different design ideas.
"Alright Ms. Uraraka, your file please?" The first official asked after he finished composing himself.
Uraraka handed it over, "It isn't anything too flashy, like Midoriya's quirk…"
The officials all glanced at her paperwork, "It all seems to be in order… Gravity, huh? A pretty strong quirk… except may induce sickness if overused…"
The female official then said, "Ms. Uraraka please show us your quirk in action." They waved their hand toward the weights on the field.
Uraraka started walking through the field tapping each one and humming, making all the weights start to float off the ground.
Once there was a dozen floating in the air, she said, "Tada!" and did a little bow.
The officials looked at her in amazement. A different kind of amazement than they had expressed for Midoriya, but they were still amazed.
"So it comes from those pads on your fingertips?" The third official asked.
"Fingertips! Of course!" Midoriya said loudly as he kept scribbling on the paper.
Uraraka nodded, "Anything I touch my fingertips to I can make float, and if I touch my hands together, I can float, but I'll definitely get sick afterwards."
"And how do you release your quirk?"
Uraraka closed her eyes and pushed her fingertips together, "Release!"
The weights started dropping from the sky denting the floor slightly, and shaking the room.
"Sorry…" she said.
"Not a problem, this room has seen plenty worse…" The first official said, "Well, Ms. Uraraka that was all we needed." He grabbed the stamp and stamped the papers, "Just take these to the counter and you'll be done."
Uraraka took the papers happily, then looked at Midoriya wondering if she should wait for him.
"Umm… Midoriya?" she asked as she bent down towards him as he was drawing on the ground, unaware of what was going on.
"If I add these on the wrists, I can use my quirk to manipulate them as an attack, but then I need to be sure to add one of these at my wrist so my costume won't explode…" he was muttering.
"Leave him, he'll be like this for at least the next half hour, and we will probably disapprove half of his design ideas" the third official said.
Uraraka nodded, "Thank you for your time." Then she walked out the door.
After Midoriya finished his costume designs, he had some time to kill while the three officials were reviewing his ideas.
He went back to the front counter, and the woman knew what he was going to ask before he said anything. Handing him the file of new declassified quirks.
There was two ways for a quirk to be declassified, and open for public viewing, either the quirk holder had died, or the quirk holder had waived their right to privacy. Most Pro Heros declassified their quirks as the press would eventually figure out their quirks either way.
Midoriya took a seat and started going through the list, "That's Kamui Woods… Mt. Lady… Half-Hot Half-Cold?" Midoriya said as he went through the list, "The ability to create flames from the left half of their body, and ice from the right half"... that's so cool! Declassified because of… waiver, it's the Pro Hero Endeavor's child."
Midoriya kept going through the list, finding the quirks of many rookie heroes, as well as the quirks of people with weak quirks who waived their rights to privacy. He had gone through 60 of the 63 declassified quirks, when the woman at the counter yelled out, "They're ready for you Midoriya!"
Midoriya walked over to the counter and handed her the file and asked, "Can you print me a copy of the last three quirk in the file? I didn't get to them."
The woman sighed, "I got this job because I barely had to do anything. Then you showed up… making me actually do work…" she took the file and walked off to print Midoriya a copy.
Midoriya went back to the quirk testing room, and there was two additional people there, and a whiteboard with drawings on it.
"Ah Midoriya, we had a few questions on your costume designs… Mr. Wilhelm?"
One of the two additional people walked over to the whiteboard and pointed at a drawing, "Is this what your idea was for those pieces of metal? Bernoulli's Principle?"
Midoriya looked at the drawing closely, "I actually didn't think of that, the pieces of metal were just escape points for my quirk so I wouldn't blow up my costume, but can I have that instead?"
Mr. Wilhelm sighed, "Yes we approved this design already, but you can't have as many on your suit as your drawing, so you will have to replace the rest of them with loose knit mesh fabrics."
Mr. Wilhelm assistant then pointed to the next drawing, "These vents on the back on your hands. Same idea?"
Midoriya nodded.
"Approved."
Mr. Wilhelm then point at the last drawing, "These coming from your wrists. Are they supposed to work as improvised weapons?"
Midoriya nodded, "I thought I could direct my quirk into them to control the movement."
Mr. Wilhelm sighed, "Normally this wouldn't be allowed until you are a pro, but seeing that it's you Midoriya… I don't know what to say…"
When Midoriya got home that afternoon, he was so happy about the costume design he got approved, then he heard a voice.
"Izuku! It's here!" his mother yelled out, meeting him at the front door, an envelope in hand, his letter from U.A.
He knew on the practical he had gotten 14 point for destroying robots, but after listening to All Might through the letter, he learn that he had received 70, as he was able to destroy the zero point robot with little injury to himself, or destruction to the city. Making his total 84 points, the highest score out of all the examinees.
"WELCOME, IZUKU MIDORIYA. TO YOUR HERO ACADEMIA" the hologram of All Might said, with a small sense of pride in his voice.
