"Izuku!" his mother shouted
"What is it?" Izuku asked as he ran into the room
"It came, your results for the UA Exam!" Inko said
"No way, it's only been a week!" Izuku said taking the letter "Thanks mum" he said rushing to his room to open the results. "Come on, come on" he said as he turned on the projector
"I AM HERE!" All-Might said as he appeared on screen making Izuku fall back on his chair before looking up to the screen "To congratulate you on being one of the five recommendations to get through to UA High, in one week you will join with your fellow students as you walk through our prestigious halls and learn how to be a hero" All-Might said making Izuku look around his room to see all the memorabilia of both All-Might and his father Aquaman. He felt happy that he had gotten in, smiling he got up and walked outside
"Izuku?" Inko asked
"I'm in" Izuku said making Inko jump for joy and hug her son
"My boy, oh I'm so proud of you" Inko said hugging him
"Thanks mum, I should go and tell dad now shouldn't I?" Izuku asked
"Yes, and tell him he's welcome to come over for dinner to help celebrate" Inko shouted
"Welcome back my prince" Kaldur said saluting Izuku as the prince had just passed Atlantean customs. He looked back at the magnificent technological city, holographic sea life swam around the city
"Good to be back, man this has changed" Izuku said "Was it ever this bright?"
"The fish is a new addition, now I suspect you would like to talk with King Orin" Kaldur said
"Yes I would, is he around?"
"He is in the throne room talking with Vulko" Kaldur said
"Cool, I've got something to tell him" Izuku said
"We can't ignore the threat that Orm may present" Vulko the king's advisor said as he floated in front of the massive golden throne of Atlantis which looked like a clam shell. Arthur looked puzzled.
"But we can't know if that it was Orm who attacked Izuku and All-Might with the Trench" Mera said "Especially since the only time they have been controlled was by you when Orm tried to fight the surface 13 years ago"
"It is puzzling, however it is something we still need to investigate" Arthur said before the doors to the throne room opened to reveal Kaldur and Izuku
"Prince Dehku, it is good to see you again" Vulko said
"Same here Vulko, Mother Dad. I have something to tell you" Izuku said
"What is it?" Mera asked concerned
"It's about the UA entrance exams" IZuku said
"And?" Arthur asked
"I have been accepted into UA High" Izuku said
"MY MAN!" Arthur said rushing over to hug his son laughing joyfully while Mera smiled "This calls for a celebration"
"Perhaps another time my king, as Prince Dehku's mother Lady Inko has something planned" Vulko said
"Ah yes" Arthur said "Another time then" he nodded
"Don't worry, you are invited to dinner tonight if you wanted, you as well Mother"
"Another time, I am needed at the conservatory tonight" Mera said
"I'll be there" Arthur said "I haven't had your mother's cooking in ages"
"Very well, I'll catch you later" Izuku said
"You betcha" Arthur laughed as Izuku hugged his dad and took off. Mera smiled softly before she got up and swam out, Arthur gave her a glance out of concern
"I'll be back soon" she said kissing his cheek
"Izuku, may I have a word?" Mera asked as she caught up with her stepson
"What is it my queen?" Izuku asked
"I just hoped you didn't think I thought negatively about your mother
"Like you are jealous of her?" Izuku asked "I know you are not
"But I was at one point, you see I had a son, I named him after your father, he was a quarter human instead of a quarter Atlantean. Anyway one day an enemy of the throne discovered him and killed him to spite your father, anyway I was heading for the surface to get away when I saw you and your mother playing at the beach. I just sat there watching with sorrow and jealousy as she had her son and I had lost mine" Mera said "But one day she spotted me and walked over, she knew who I was, and instead of getting angry or anything like that she asked if I was okay, and once she had I lost my composure and let my emotions rush out of me while she comforted me, she sat down beside me and listened as a talked about what had happened, what I was feeling and she then gave me advice and comfort, she acted as a councillor for me, and over the years she and I became good friends. She even explained her reason for divorcing Arthur despite only being married to him for a year, the same year they had you" Mera explained
"And that was?" Izuku asked
"She didn't want him to neglect the surface world as he once did before saving Atlantis, she told him that if they were married he would spend most of his time on land and not in the ocean. He relucent agree and then we were married a year later." Mera said
"And my brother was killed a year after that?" Izuku asked
"Yes, he was" Mera said looking sad until Izuku hugged her making her smile.
"I know you are only my step mother, but I love you as well as my father and my mother" Izuku said
"And I too young Dehku" Mera said letting go and kissing his forehead "Now you better get going, otherwise you'll be late" Mera said
"Of course, see you later mother" Izuku said swimming off smiling, Mera stood there before turning and swimming off.
Izuku was excited that he was unable to sleep soundly as he had arrived at his dream school, so he was a bit tired when he arrived
"WAKE UP DEKU!" Bakugo said
"I am!" Izuku snapped
"You don't look like it" Bakugo snapped
"So I didn't get that much sleep okay?" Izuku growled
"Come on" Bakugo said as they headed for their class. Izuku was nervous
"I have to go to the office first, The headmaster wants to see me for a second" Izuku said
"Alright" Bakugo smirked as the two separated. Keeping his cool he head for the headmaster's office. Once he was there he saw Yaoyorozu there closing the door, upon seeing Izuku she smiled and nodded
"How are you?" she asked
"I'm not bad yourself?" Izuku replied
"Good, well I see you in class" she said walking away waving
"We're in the same class?" Izuku asked
"Ah Mr Midoriya, or is it Mr Curry?" a voice asked
"Technically both" Izuku said seeing a white furred animal "And you are?"
"I'm Nedzu, the headmaster here at UA High, I would like to congratulate you for passing the recommendation exam, well done. You and two others had broken the record for the fastest finishing time, sadly we could only pick five outstanding students. Originally it was going to be just four students but your recommendation came across my desk so I had a talk with your father and we both agreed to allow you to take the exam, and since you're here" Nedzu explained
"Of course" Izuku said before frowning "My recommendation doesn't have anything to do with my heritage does it?"
"No, of course not my boy. You were recommended by your father on your merit, your skills and everything else besides your heritage. But you will be judged on it once you are revealed to be the son of Aquaman and thus your heritage revealed as well. But for now you being a quarter Atlantean doesn't matter" Nedzu said
"Thank you sir" Izuku bowed
"You're welcome, now off to class. Your homeroom teacher will be there shortly" Nedzu said
"Yes sir" Izuku said bowing
"This is going to be an interesting year" Nedzu said
"My queen are you sure?" Tula asked as she, Kaldur, Garth and Dolphin were before Mera
"I am, the Quindent of Queen Atlanna has been found and I want you for to find it and retrieve" Mera said
"Are you sure we should be the only ones?" Kaldur asked
"I am" Mera said "This is to be a stealth and recovery mission, a larger team will draw people's attention" Mera said
"Are you thinking the enemies of the king will be after the Quindent as well?" Garth asked
"They could be, but they could also be after something else entirely, but I would feel safer with Atlanna's Quindent in our control" Mera said
"This doesn't have anything to do with Prince Dehku is it?" Dolphin asked
"In a way, he has started his training, I don't want to add more pressure onto his shoulders at the moment" Mera said
"Understandable my queen, but if we are you run into Prince Dehku?" Kaldur asked
"Mention nothing about your mission, understand?" Mera asked
"Yes your highness" the group said before swimming off.
"Please be careful" Mera said
"Okay, so instead of going to initiation, I want perform a Quirk assessment test" their teacher Aizawa, a scruffy looking insomniac said
"A Quirk Assessment test?" the class asked
'Oh crap, I didn't think they would do this kind of thing yet' Izuku though
"You haven't had the chance to a chance to use your quirk in physical exams before, the country is country is trying to still make us believe everyone is equal, so those with the most power doesn't excel. It is not ration so one day the ministry of education will learn" Aizawa said before turning to his student "Bakugo, you earned the highest points on the entrance exam, tell me what was your furthest softball throw?" Aizawa asked
"67 meters" Bakugo said before being thrown a ball
"Try it while using your quirk" Aizawa said
"Okay" Bakugo said getting into the ring and got ready
"DIE!" he screamed while propelling the ball with his explosive quirk
'not bad kacchan' Izuku though as a reading of 705.2 meters
"You need to all need to learn your limits and your maximum capabilities, it is the most rational way to see how you can be a pro hero" Aizawa said
"705 meters are you kidding me?" Kaminari, a blonde haired student said
"That looks like fun I want to have a go" Ashido a pink skinned girl said
"Yeah, we can use our quirk all we want" Sero a dark haired boy said smiling
"Fun huh?" You have three years to become a pro hero, do you think it will all be fun and games while you learning, idiots today you'll test to see you physical potential, and if you come in dead last you'll be expelled on the spot" Aizawa said
"HUH!" the group said
'This is not good eight test leading to expulsion and I haven't seen the upper limits of my inherited abilities" Izuku thought
"I can run my class anyway I want, UNDERSTAND and if you don't like it you can head home right now" Aizawa said "So let's begin"
G'day Guys Grizz here So I wanted to establish some back story with what happened with Mera, Inko and Arthur so that is why I worte Mera's back story as too why she was so nice to Izuku who is her stepson, and the reason why I ended where I did was to build tension since Izuku doesn't have One for All here so he'll have to rely on his heritage which will change the results plus the Trident/Quindent will come into play later on and it will be fun on how
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
