AN: Hello and welcome to the fourth chapter of Boku no Hero Academia: Deku the Ajin!
In this chapter, I'll finally show that little surprise for Ochako.
Deku: If it's something bad, I swear I'll -
Relax, it's nothing bad.
Now I would like to say thanks for you all who are actually liking this story, alongside the other stories I'm making, and will soon make as well. Anyways, as soon as I'm done with this chapter, I'll start on creating the possibly short story:
Boku no Hero Academia: Deku the Music Meister!
Deku: Isn't the Music Meister owned by DC...and a villain?
True, but this will be a humorous story, one where you'll regret doing karaoke. Now I would like to point out something when Izuku received 'One-For-All' alongside being an Ajin. When he obtained 'One-For-All', Izuku still needs to control how much power he can put into it, but the self-damage he inflicts on himself will not be as serious, due to the fact that he's an Ajin.
The injuries he'll receive will heal, once he 'resets' himself, through a life-threatening injury, or by self-inflicted pain. Which why he won't be so reliant on Recovery Girl throughout the story. Though he won't use his healing all the time when it comes to minor injuries, like his broken fingers. He'll only 'reset' when it's something serious.
Deku: Well it's good to know that I won't rely on my 'Ajin-Quirk' a lot!
Exactly! Now time to introduce -
Iida: Hello! My name is Tenya Iida!
Now, that I've introduced Iida in this chapter, it'll make sense to have him start us off! Will you, please?
Iida: Of course! HERE WE GO!
Izuku's POV -
I can't believe that I'm actually taking the UA Entrance Exam! I was sitting in the auditorium, listening to Present Mic, whose radio show I've always listened to! And - Sorry, I kinda got carried away there. It's just, surprising to actually be here, despite Kacchan telling me that I didn't have the stomach to use 'Ajin' the fullest. But now, here I am, on my way to be a Pro-Hero. Anyways, after Present Mic tried to get all of us ready for the Exam, trying to get us to scream 'Aw yeah!', but none us really said it, leaving an awkward tension in the air.
After coughing into his fist, a large diagram was behind him, each corner had a different robot, and a different amount points. We all had sheets, which had the robots in the diagram in front of us. When I looked at mine, I arched my eyebrow in confusion. Oddly enough, when the first three had points, however, the fourth one had zero points. I began to talk to myself about this,
"Weird, since there's four monsters, only three of them have actual worth. Maybe the fourth one is a dud, or something else? It could be possible that - "
"Excuse me!"
My train of thought was interrupted when someone spoke up. I turned around and saw someone with blue hair, with blue eyes behind a pair of glasses. He was dressed in a suit, indicating that he was probably business-like. He stood up, and in one hand, he had the sheet that was given to us, so he also noticed the monster that was worth zero points. He said,
"You said that there were three villains we have to look out for, but yet there's four in the papers! I don't know if this was a typo, but this is an embarrassment to the UA standards. And you, the one with the messy hair!"
He looked at me, in which caused everyone to look at me, making me uncomfortable from all the attention. I was confused at what was happening when he called me out, in which he continued his rant. He told me directly,
"You've been talking to yourself since you've got inside this building! If you aren't going to take this seriously, then I suggest that you leave."
Talk about a low-blow.
Present Mic explained to us that the fourth robot was in fact a 'dud', and that we should try to avoid it if we make contact with it. He told us to get ready for the Exam, in which he told us,
"PLUS ULTRA!"
Third Person Point-of-View -
Everyone was outside the Testing Area, getting ready for what was about to come. Izuku, dressed in a green track suit, with his red shoes, was currently getting ready himself, and was having a small conversation with Ghost. As he stretched, he informed the Black Ghost,
"As soon as those gates open, I'll charge in, and will have those robots chase after me, in which you'll deal with them."
"Okay..."
He looked around, and saw the girl from before, also getting ready for the Exam as well. He thought of going over there and telling her good luck, and walked over there. However, it was the same guy from before that stood in front of him, accusing him,
"What are you doing? Are you trying to sabotage that girl over there?"
"What? No! I was just - "
Whatever he had to say was unsaid, because he was receiving a second lecture, with the bystanders around the two sneering, thinking that Izuku won't make it pass the Exam. Suddenly, the gates opened, revealing a replica of a massive city. Nobody moved yet, unsure of what to do next. Then, Present Mic spoke to them through the intercom, he said,
"Get going! There ain't no countdown on being a Hero!"
And like that, everyone ran like Hell towards the city.
In the City -
So far, it has been a while since the Exam started, and people had taken a different approach when dealing with the robots. Some decided to let the robots come to them, while the others went after the robots. Izuku, being a resourceful one, had decided to do something differently from the others. He was gaining the attention of the robots, three of them at this point, and ran as they chased after him.
He was close to where he wanted the robots to be, and immediately turned right, running into a dead end. As the robots got closer to him, he smiled as Ghost came out of nowhere, destroying the machines effortlessly. He smiled at his partner, and began to climb one of the buildings, getting a clearer view of the landscape below him. So far, he had about twenty points, mainly from having Ghost destroy them in small groups.
However, the robots he tried to gain attention, were destroyed before he could lead them to Ghost's Hunting Ground. At first, he thought having Ghost destroy enough robots to get him past the Exam, but went against it. The Entrance Exam was something Izuku had to do by himself, so he made the plan to attract the robots, while Ghost simply destroys them, gaining the points.
He muttered,
"We have a little more than a few minutes left, and I've still need to get rid of more robots. Speaking of which, where's the fourth one?"
While he ran across the city, he did not once see the robots that was worth zero points. True that destroying it will give him no points, it was still a bit concerning that it hasn't made a presence yet. He was about to get down from the building, until the ground shook, causing him to stumble a bit. Then massive footsteps were heard, echoing across the city, all action from it stopping.
Izuku turned around, and saw his eyes widened in shock. He found the fourth monster, but there was a slight problem when he saw it.
The thing was as big as the building Izuku was on top of.
It took notice of the green-haired boy, in which it rose a claw, or first, whatever it was, to smash the building Izuku stood on. Realizing what was happening, he immediately ran towards the edge of the building, jumping before the building collapsed. He managed to get to the other building, and broke into a run, getting down to the streets, trying to gain some distance from it. Hearing screams of panic, he actually stopped, and saw the other people taking the Exam, running from the robot, all of them realizing that they couldn't take that thing on.
As he was about to join the mob, he heard a shout of distress, and saw that it was the girl from before, her leg being caught on some rubble from the robot. When he saw her, he stopped, fear flowing throughout his body. Then, something within Izuku caused him to act without thinking again.
He ran towards the robot, who could've crushed the girl due to it's size, and began to channel 'One-For-All' into his legs, allowing him to jump into the air, eye-level with the machine, raising his right arm. As he reared back his fist, he remembered what All Might told him on how to use it, despite how it sounded:
"What you need to do is simple; clench your buttocks, and shout - "
"SMASH!"
As his fist made contact with the colossal machine, the thing was heavily damaged, parts were beginning to fall off, while it caught on fire. Those who stayed and watched Izuku, simply gawked at what they saw, especially the bespectacled boy. He felt his eyes widen at the feat he saw before him. He ran to help the girl get her leg out of the rubble, ashamed with himself when he ran away. Then he realized something:
He just ran after her, despite the odds against him. And yet, he still jumped! Does he know something the rest didn't? He's -
"HOLY CRAP! HE'S FALLING!"
Both he and the girl looked up, and gasped as Izuku was indeed falling, his right arm and both legs flailing, due to the fact that they were broken. He couldn't believe that his bones in his limbs were all broke. Then he panicked, realizing that he was going to splatter across the concrete, and that he was about to fail, due to the fact that he wasn't able to get points. He was trying to say something, but was unable to say it.
Then, he found the voice to say it,
"GHOST!"
Out of nowhere, Ghost, whose arms literally became wings like a bird, giving him a disturbing, yet beautiful appearance, swooped in, and grabbed Izuku. The green-haired boy was shocked, seeing that his partner had somehow grew wings. Ghost was still in the air, when something actually hit him in the head, destroying it easily, causing him to let Izuku go.
As he fell, Izuku had a look of disbelief as he saw Ghost get destroyed easily. He realized that he was still an Ajin, and thought:
Even if I do get out of this alive, I still lost my chance to get into UA. There's -
He was then slapped by the girl he just met this morning, who was floating on top of a robot's head, and realized that he was now floating once more, a mere inches from the ground. In a strained voice, the girl weakly said,
"And...release!"
As her fingertips touched, the robot head, and Izuku fell to the ground, the latter being okay despite his injuries. The girl, feeling the effects of overusing her Quirk, had spilled her breakfast all over the concrete. Izuku was now slowly crawling towards the girl, trying to tell her that he was thankful for what she did, and as he was about to do that, Present Mic stated,
"And the Exam is now over!"
The girl got off the robot's head, and tried to find a way to help Izuku, in which he told her,
"Could help me find a rock?"
"Uh...sure?"
She did what Izuku told her, handing him a medium-sized rock, about the size of his hand. He grabbed it with his left handed, and looked like he was about to prepare for something. She then asked him,
"So what are you gonna - "
She suddenly screamed in surprise when Izuku smashed the rock against his head, some blood running down his forehead. She was about to call for help, when he suddenly stood up, legs suddenly healed, wiping the blood off with his right arm, which was also healed. She was shocked when he was suddenly healed, in which she noticed that some sort of black material was floating around Izuku's formerly injured limbs. She then asked him,
"Who are you?"
"My name is Izuku Midoriya."
When she heard his name, her eyes widened in shock and realization. Suddenly, her eyes were starting to form tears, as she then wrapped her arms around her, causing the boy to become flustered at the sudden action. He heard her saying,
"Thank you...if it wasn't for you...than I would've..."
"You...don't have to say more..."
Ghost then appeared in front of him, saying,
"Good to see...her...again..."
Later at Night -
As Izuku sat at the dinner table, he was still confused at what just happened in last few hours. In his mind he recapped: I gained All Might's power, in which I enroll for UA, fought a GIANT robot, nearly got myself crippled, and got hugged by a girl, in which Ghost somehow knows. He was really confused that day. He heard his mother calling him,
"Izuku? Izuku? Are you okay?"
"Huh?"
"You've been eyeing the fish for a few minutes now..."
"Oh, s-sorry! I've been...distracted today."
"I see..."
After dinner, his mother suddenly barged into his room, saying that he got the acceptance letter for UA. When he looked at the letter, he felt a sense of dread and disappointment, due to failing All Might's expectations. He ripped it open, and a small projector came out, opening a hologram of All Might, in his Hero-Form, oddly dressed in a yellow suit. He stated,
"Young Midoriya! It is I, talking to you via hologram!"
"Wow..."
"Anyways, I've seen your performance at the Entrance Exam."
"Sorry...for letting you down out there."
At this, All Might seemed confused, in which he said,
"Sorry? For what? You passed!"
"R-really!?"
"Yes, but not only that, but look at this!"
A separate box appeared next to the Symbol of Peace, showing the brown-haired girl again, talking to Present Mic. Izuku felt his cheeks burn up, remembering when she hugged him. The video showed how she wanted to give some of her points to Izuku. She said it was because of her that he was unable to pass the Exam, wanting to make things right, causing him to tear up honestly.
"Your Quirk...Quirks, have inspired her, alongside others."
Present Mic simply laughed, reassuring her that she didn't have to go the extra mile. Confused, Izuku asked,
"What does he mean by that?"
"It's quite simple, the Exam not only tested your combat ability. It tested you if you can save others, despite the consequences. They're called Hero Points! And I am proud to say that you have passed!"
Izuku was overwhelmed, happy that he was going to UA, touched that people actually vouched for him. Then All Might stated,
"Welcome to the Hero Academia, Izuku!"
AN: And that was the fourth chapter of this story!
Iida: Midoriya, I would just like to apologize for what I said to you -
Deku: It's fine, Iida-kun, after all you did apologize in the canon. Now to more pressing matters.
*Both he and Ochako look at the author, faces practically on fire.*
Ochako: Why did you make me hug Deku-kun!?
Because that was the surprise. After all, think about: How does Ghost know you?
Anyways, I'll be now creating the short story BnHA: Deku the Music Meister!
See ya later!
