A/N: Hey guys, I'm back! I'm going to give you the first crossover that I'm doing, and it isn't the Steven Universe crossover. (though it will be out soon!) I am giving you the one that I am more interested in at the moment: a crossover between My Hero Academia and One Punch Man! Now, if you couldn't tell from the title, this story will be following my favorite S-Class Hero Metal Bat. I am going to say a few things about how the story will be proceeding.
First things first, I will have the Hero Association be a different association from the Pro Hero Association we have in the MHA universe. The differences will be explained in the story.
The second thing is that I will NOT be having Saitama in this story; the reason why is simply because Saitama existing in the universe would ruin the serious parts about the story, simply because Saitama could just one punch them; not only that, but it would also likely get rid of All Might being the Symbol of Peace.
The third thing is about Metal Bat himself, or Bad. I am going to be making him 2 years younger so he fits in with the age of the other characters.
Finally, I am going to have Metal Bat's hero weapon (his metal bat, obviously) from when he was an S-Class be given to him at a later time; so we'll be seeing him have some of the struggles he had before that time.
With that being said, let's jump right into the story!
P.S.: Legend: Speech. Thinking. All Might Talking.
It's early morning, around 7:30 A.M. at the latest. I was currently walking to my school. I was speed walking so I wouldn't have anything get in my way. I finally reach the school and I sigh.
"That took a bit longer than I wanted...but it'll all be fine." I told myself as I walked. I had a typical uniform you'd expect of a school, and I had my backpack with me. Inside that backpack was a gray metal bat that I had with me at all times since I was 6. I walked into my classroom and sat down.
"Alright class, it's time you started really thinking about what you want to do with your lives...Ah, who am I kidding? You're all going for the hero course, right?!" The teacher said, throwing the papers he had in his hand in the air while the whole class cheered and used their quirks.
"Alright, settle down. Just because you guys are excited doesn't mean you can use your quirks.
"Come on, teach. Don't lump me with all of these losers! I'm way better than the whole lot of them!" A kid with ashy blonde hair gloated as he smirked cockily. I knew who this kid was; the kid everyone in the school believed would become a hero: Katsuki Bakugou.
"Hey, who gave you the right to say that, Bakugou!"
"Yeah, you can't go saying that to us! What makes you think you're better than us?"
"Oh, shut up you extras! Unlike you wannabes I'm aiming for something higher!"
"Bakugou, aren't you aiming for U.A.?" The teacher says, Bakugou's smirk growing as everyone remembers that little detail.
"He's going for U.A.? Don't they have a really low acceptance rate?" "There's no way that he's going to get in!"
"Yes I can! I aced the mock test, so I'm guaranteed to get in! And soon enough, I'll be the number one hero, and be even better than All Might!"
"Oh, isn't Midoriya and Bad doing for U.A.? As well?" Suddenly everyone stops talking and erupts into laughter. A green haired freckled kid, Midoriya, hides further into his chair while Bad just clicks his tongue.
"How are you guys going to get into U.A.? You've got to be kidding me!" Midoriya shrinks further into his desk as Bad grows more annoyed. Suddenly, Bakugou places a palm on both of their desks and lets off an explosion.
"You two idiots can't possibly get into U.A.! You're quirkless losers!" Bakugou taunts as Bad's expression gets more annoyed.
"K-Kacchan, you don't know that. T-they removed the rule of having to have a quirk to get into U.A. a little while back! That means I-" An angry Bakugou shuts him up.
"Listen, Deku, you and Pomp here are both losers, so you won't be able to get in!" Bad had finally had enough and he stood up.
"You can just shut the hell up, Bakugou! Unlike you, I don't bully kids and use something they couldn't control as a way to make them feel worse! I'd be surprised if they accepted you for how horrible you treat others!" Bakugou did not like that, and he turned to glare at me.
"Shut it, Pomp. If U.A. didn't accept me, they'd be delusional. But they'd be even more delusional if they accepted you!" Bakugou states.
"Alright, settle down class. Let's just get started on class." The man states as he starts class.
His name is Gushiken Bad, and this is his story.
.
.
After class, Bakugou stops Bad and Midoriya from leaving. He looks at both of them and sneers.
"Listen, you quirkless bastards. I don't want either of you to even try to go into U.A.'s Hero Course. I am going to be the only person from this shit hole of a school to get into U.A. and neither of you are going to get in my way, got it?!" Bakugou basically shouts at them. His friends start snickering with him and then Bakugou says something else.
"You know...there is something you two could do." Midoriya then looked up at Bakugou as he looked like he was about to laugh. "You both could wish really hard for a quirk...and then take a swan dive off the roof of the building!" Bakugou laughs as he and his friends walk out. Bad sighs and looks over to Midoriya. "Hey, are you okay, Midoriya?" Bad says as he walks over to comfort him. Bad and Midoriya have been friends ever since kindergarten, when Bad first met Midoriya, and they both found out they were quirkless. Midoriya would dare say that he was Bad's only friend, and Bad would say that as well, even though Midoriya believes Kacchan is his friend still.
"O-Oh! G-Gushiken-kun! I'm fine. I-I just need a minute…" Midoriya weakly answers. Bad sighs and clasps his hands on Midoriya's shoulders. "Everything will be alright, Midoriya. We're both quirkless, yes, but that just means we need to take the world by surprise! We're gonna ace the exams in 10 months and we'll do it in style! Just believe in yourself, Midoriya." Midoriya's eyes widened. "Y-you're right, Gukishen-kun. I just need to try and believe in myself more...like All Might!" Midoriya says, Bad smirking. "That's right. Just like All Might!"
Bad starts walking out. "Anyway, Midoriya-kun, I can't go home with you today." Midoriya blinks and then remembers. "Oh, r-right! Today's when you also practice with your bat after school! I understand. Well, I'll see you later, Gushiken-kun!" Midoriya says with less stuttering as Bad nods and walks out.
.
.
.
Bad was walking around the town after a good bit of practice with his gray bat. Every day he does about an hour worth of practicing with his baseball, swinging it and implementing a style of swinging similar to using a sword. But on this one week day he spends an extra hour after school practicing more. He was just about to head home when he heard an explosion in the distance.
"Crap, that can't be good." Bad says as he rushes over to the area. He gasps at what he sees: A villain made of sludge was holding some kid hostage he can't really see well. Backdraft, a pro hero, along with Kamui Woods and Death Arms is in the area. There were massive amounts of fire around the area, and there were also a few explosions going out from the kid every now and then.
"We can't get in close because of the explosions! We'll just have to wait for a hero with a more suitable quirk" Backdraft said, Death Arms and Kamui Woods nodding. Bad clicked his tongue. How could these people call themselves heroes if they were only willing to fight when they had the advantage?! Bad was just about to tell them something when he saw the explosions happen again. Then it clicked in his mind. Someone who uses explosions any chance he gets, and a Sludge Villain targeting this kid...is it-?! Just before he could finish his thoughts, he saw the familiar face of the ashy blonde, gasping for air.
He sees a mop of green hair pass him, and almost blinks out of shock when he sees it's Midoriya running! "Oh, crap! Midoriya-kun, wait up!" Bad screams as he rushes in, his gray baseball bat in his hand. "G-Gushiken-kun! Kacchan's in danger! We have to hurry!" Bad reluctantly agrees, knowing a hero would save people that he doesn't like as well. "Alright, Midoriya-kun, what's the plan?"
"The sludge villain...he has Kacchan. We just need to give him time to breathe, or even get him out as best as we can!" Midoriya says as he remembers something from his notebook. Midoriya grabs his bag and throws it at the sludge villain, it's contents spilling everywhere. One of which hits the Sludge Villain in the eye.
"GRAAGH!" The sludge villain roars in pain, something Bad notices. Midoriya quickly runs up and starts trying to pry through the sludge to Bakugou. "The hell are you doing here, Deku?! Why're you and Pomp over here?!"
Midoriya responds simply. "I-I don't know! My body just reacted on it's own!"
"Same here! I can't just let someone get hurt when I know I can do something about it!" Bad responded as well, getting a grip of his bat.
Unbeknownst to them, a skeletal man with blonde hair widens his blue eyes in realization. One of these two could be… the man thinks to himself.
"You two kids are about to die along with this one!" The sludge villain says as he gets ready to attack Midoriya! But before he can, a bat suddenly swings his way, hitting him right in the eye. "AAAAGH! AGAIN!?" Before the sludge villain can do anything, Bad swings the bat at his other eye, making him scream even louder.
"Your body can't really be hurt because it's sludge, but your eyes are a completely different concept, aren't they?!" Bad says as the sludge villain loosens its grip of Bakugou. Midoriya and Bad both reach out for Bakugou, but then they hear a voice.
"I really am pathetic…" The booming voice says, as the smoke clears and they see All Might. "I told you the qualities that made a great hero, but I didn't even live up to them! HEROES ARE ALWAYS RISKING THEIR LIVES!" All Might says as he rears back his fist, he grabs a hold of Midoriya and Bad, and pulls his other fist back.
"Detroit…!"
"Damn you, All Might!" The sludge villain roared
"SMAAAAAASHH!" All Might bellowed out as he swung up, the sludge villain being sent flying, and the force being strong enough to make it rain!
"Holy crap! All Might just changed the freaking weather with one punch!"
"That's the Symbol of Peace for you!" Everyone started cheering as All Might quickly dealt with them and rushed away. Bad looked around frantically and soon found the gray bat that was blown a bit away from the hit. He grabbed it and looked around for Midoriya, only to find him nowhere.
"Crap...looks like I'll have to go to his house really quickly..!" Bad told himself as he rushed to find Midoriya.
.
.
.
Bad was running around the area Midoriya lived, looking for Midoriya. He then saw Midoriya in the distance, with Bakugou a good distance away.
"Oh, great. Bakugou's gone. Now I can talk to Midoriya-" Before Bad could finish his own monologue, he sees...ALL MIGHT?!
"I am here, Young Midoriy-" Before All Might finishes his sentence, he starts coughing up a huge amount of blood.
"All Might!" Midoriya yells, as Bad is just looking on in shock. The Number One hero looks like that?
"It's fine, Young Midoriya. Now, I am here for a reason." All Might starts, and as soon as he says that Midoriya looks behind the man and sees someone. "G-G-Gukishen-Kun?!" All Might turns around and sees Bad, and starts spitting out blood. "Young man! Come over, hurry." All Might calls Bad, the kid rushing over.
"All Might, are you okay? What happened?" All Might sighs and quickly explains what he told Midoriya a while ago, showing him the injury and everything.
"Wow...All Might, I didn't realize that you were an even better hero than I thought!" All Might looks surprised. "How does seeing me injured this badly make me a better hero?"
"You literally have a wound that any other hero would not even dream of being able to recover from, and here you are running around still being the number one hero! If that isn't the peak of heroism, then I don't know what is!" Al Might smiles, and then quickly looks to Midoriya.
"Young Midoriya, when I told you earlier that you could not become a hero without a quirk...I realized I was wrong. I did not realize you had it." Midoriya looks confused.
"Had what?" "The true heart of a hero. All great heroes have the same story of their first act of heroic deed: 'My body just moved on its own.' Young Midoriya, looking at you now, I can tell you with a guarantee...that you can become a hero." Midoriya starts crying his eyes out as tears overflow him.
"Young Gushiken, was it?" Bad nods in confirmation. "Right. I also believe you, too, can become a hero." Bad looks up and blinks.
"But I'm quirkless, too. Do you really think I can still be a hero?" All Might blinks, and then lets out a laugh.
"Of course, Young Gushiken! You have the heart of a hero, and a great physique. And you're good at using that bat of yours! I'm positive that you will become a magnificent hero!" Bad nods and All Might turns to Midoriya.
"Young Midoriya, I choose you to be my successor and to inherit my quirk!" Bad and Midoirya look at All Might.
""Inherit?"" Both kids look at All Might, and he chuckles. "Yes, inherit. My quirk is called One For All. It is a quirk that stockpiles power, and can be passed down through the generations, growing stronger with each new wielder! And you, Young Midoriya, are who I choose as my successor! Will you accept?" Bad hears Midoriya mutter the name of the quirk, before he gains a determined look.
"I accept!" All Might smiles brightly, and looks at Bad. "Young Gushiken, I would like you to join Young Midoriya here in my training for him. You two will be helping each other grow, got it?" Bad nods and Midoriya smiles.
"Great! Now, I'll let you two go home. Meet me at Dagobah Municipal Beach Park tomorrow early in the morning, got it?" All Might says, both nodding. "Good! Now, I'll let you two go." All Might says as he hurries off. Bad looks at Midoriya and smiles, "You get to inherit All Might's quirk. Now you'll definitely get into U.A.!" Midoriya looks at Gushiken and smiles.
"Yes, I finally have a shot! B-but Gushiken-kun, do you think you can get into U.A. without a quirk?" Bad starts chuckling and sends him a smirk. "I wouldn't be going for it if I didn't. Anyway, I gotta go. I'm sure Zenko's gonna kill me if I'm any later." Midoriya chuckles and waves as he sees Bad run off.
.
.
.
"Where have you been?! It's gotten so late, and what happened to your hair, it's all messed up!" A girl who can't be any older than a middle schooler is scolding Bad, smacking his head.
"Sorry, Zenko. I got caught up doing something." Bad rubs his head where she smacked, and Zenko only puffs her cheeks.
"I saw what happened, Onii-chan! You tried saving that Bakugou kid that you said picked on you for being Quirkless! And Midoriya-kun was there, too! What were you thinki-"
"I met All Might." Bad quickly says, seeing Zenko's eyes light up.
"You met All Might?! Onii-Chan, did you get his autograph for me?" Zenko was instantly being kinder to him, which he chuckled at. "Sorry, Zenko, but I didn't. He left before I could do anything. But I met...this personal trainer who saw me and Midoriya-kun try and save Bakugou. He wants to help us train for U.A., so I'm going to be training with him from now on." Zenko nods and quickly hugs Bad. "Onii-chan, dinner's ready!" Zenko said as Bad realizes she was cooking.
"Crap, sorry! I told you I was going to cook tonight, too…" Zenko slightly smiles. "It's fine, Onii-chan. You just get to cook next time." Zenko quickly gets their dinner ready and he sits down.
Bad looks up and sighs. Zenko was only a few years old when both of his parents died in a villain attack at a store. It was heartbreaking, that was obvious, but he realized he would need to grow up fast in order to take care of Zenko. He promised that he would take care of her, and he will.
"Onii-chan, are you going to eat?" Zenko asks, snapping Bad back into reality.
"Sorry, sorry! Itadakimasu" Bad quickly says as he takes a bite. He compliments Zenko's cooking as he thinks about what will happen tomorrow…
.
.
.
Bad got there a few minutes before he had to be there, and sees All Might in his skeletal form. Seeing Midoriya isn't here, he decides to ask All Might some questions.
"Hey, All Mi-"
"Call me Yagi Sensei when I'm in this form." All Might quickly says, looking around frantically. Bad quickly understands that he doesn't want to cause a scene, so he coughs.
"Yagi Sensei, I was wondering why you want to help me train? I'm pretty fit as it is, and I'm good with my bat, so what else is it you're wanting to teach me?" All Might chuckles a bit before he looks at Bad. "I'm going to help you advance yourself. I know that you can do much more with your bat, and I think you have a lot of potential inside yourself. So, I'll have you do more physically demanding things than Midoriya."
Bad nods, and almost instantly Midoriya shows up. All Might then looks at Midoriya and tells him what he'll be doing. He then buffs up (luckily when nobody is around) and quickly takes a picture of Midoriya. "With how you are now, there's no way you could handle One For All!" Midoriya quickly looks up at the laughing All Might.
"Huuh!? B-but you said that I was worthy of your power yesterday!"
"I'm talking about your physical body, Young Midoriya. If you were to try and use One For All with how your body is now, your limbs would shoot off!" Needless to say, Midoriya was shocked by that. He then understood what he had to do, and they began working harder than before. All Might quickly turns to Bad and gives him his own little plan. "This one is meant to help you learn how to swing your bat more efficiently as well as get your body even more fit than it already is. By my estimations, you should be at the level of physique I'm expecting you to be at around 2 months before the U.A. Entrance Exams. I'll also be helping you hone your combat abilities. Got it?" Bad nods and All Might smirks. "Well, let's get to it then!"
And thus, the ten months of the hardest training I had felt up till then had begun
.
.
.
Bad and Midoriya are running side by side, Midoriya holding a tire and Bad holding two. All Might is in his skeletal form and shouting orders at them
.
.
.
We see Bad and Midoriya both trying and struggling to move a fridge that has All Might in his buff form on top. "Come on, you two! People without quirks move these around like nothing!" All Might cheers to them. Midoriya looks up and says "It would be fine...but you're adding an extra 600 pounds!" All Might laughs. "That's preposterous! I've slimmed down to 560!" Bad groans in annoyance as he keeps pulling
.
.
.
Bad is holding his gray baseball bat and is taking swings in massive arcs, All Might a bit to the side nodding and telling him how to add more speed and power. Meanwhile, Midoriya is taking a small break and muttering incoherently fast as he is taking notes on Bad.
.
.
.
Bad and Midoriya are in class, both of them sitting next to one another. Midoriya is using a grip strengthener when Bad quickly grabs it from him. "Gushiken-k-kun. I need that!" Midoriya sharply whispers. Bad then gives him a deadpan look. "Yagi Sensei told me to make sure you don't overwork yourself, or you'll receive the opposite effect wanted." Bad tells him. Midoriya sighs...and then widens his eyes when he sees Bad doing it. "Gushiken-kun! Why are you using them?!" He whispers a little louder. Bad smirks and looks at Midoriya, "Yagi Sensei never said that I couldn't do a little extra."
.
.
.
We see Bad, Zenko and Midoriya at the Midoriya household, Midoriya's mother Inko giving them both some tea. Bad seems to be red faced from annoyance as Midoriya is talking him through an equation.
"Now, Gushiken-kun, if you take the square root of 245 and divide it by the square root of 367, you get-"
"Math sucks, Midoriya-kun. I have no idea how I'm going to get through the written exam…" Midoriya pats Bad's back in comfort. "That's why I'm helping you, Gushiken-kun."
"Onii-chan! You can do it!" Zenko says to Bad, hugging his arm, making him smile. He then gets back to writing down steps needed to get through the math equation.
.
.
.
Bad and Midoriya are both running across the beach, a Buff form of All Might running along with them, cheering them on to go faster. Midoriya suddenly falls face first into the sand, causing both Bad and All Might to stop. Midoriya gives them a quick determined smile and nod, and they start running again.
.
.
.
We see Bad taking his gray baseball bat and slamming it against a fridge. The fridge gains a huge dent, and Bad smirks at All Might. He then looks down at his bat and sees that it got a small dent to.
"I-I'll buy you a new one, Young Gushiken!" All Might says, Bad sighing and simply accepting All Might's form of apology.
.
.
.
Ten months had flown by pretty quickly for the two of them. From all of the exercising and studying they did together, they got even closer than they ever had. Bad was heading to the beach and found All Might walking ahead of him.
"Yagi Sensei!" All Might looks back and gasps at the sight he sees. He sees Bad's physique and is impressed. He is a bit buffer than he expected him to be (Imagine Metal Bat's physique in OPM and make it a bit buffer) , and he seems to have gotten slightly taller, 165 cm (5'4'') in height. "I'm impressed, Young Gushiken! You're much more in shape then I expected you to be!" Bad chuckles and pats himself on the back. "Well, Yagi Sensei, I was motivated to pass your expectations."
"Great! I'm glad to hear it! Now, let's go check on Young Midoriya-" All Might and Bad stop dead in their tracks when they see Midoriya screaming on top of a huge pile of trash. All Might and Bad look at the beach...to see it completely clean! "Hey, hey, hey...He even cleaned outside of where I told him to! Seriously?" All Might says to himself disbelief. "There isn't even a speck of dust left! Seriously?!" Bad is just left breathless. "He finished at the last minute! More than perfectly! Oh my… Oh my…" All Might turns into his buff form and yells the last part out with Bad. "Goodness!"
Midoriya starts to fall off the pile, but All Might quickly grabs him. "Good Work" All Might tells Midoriya whilst in his arms. Midoriya looks up and smiles weakly
"All Might...I did it…!"
"Yeah, you surprised us." Bad says as he walks up. All Might nods. "Both of you outdid my expectations, you entertainers! Teenagers are amazing!" All Might claims. All Might then takes his phone out and tells Midoriya to look at it. He sees himself crying and on the ground.
"That's you from ten months ago! Look how far you've come!" All Might says, Bad nodding in agreement.
"You may not be able to see it yet, but you truly have become a suitable successor! And Bad, you have also become worthy of being a hero!" All Might declares, moving his hands to the side. Midoriya and Bad look at each other, and Bad bows a bit while Midoriya starts crying.
"You went through all of this work...all of this training...just for the two of us." Bad says, a weak smile on his face.
Midoriya continues for him, tears streaking down his face, "We truly are blessed…"
All Might then chuckles "We'll have to fix your leaky eyes later, Young Midoriya. Now, it's time for the Award Ceremony!" Midoriya nods. All Might pulls out a strand of hair. "Somebody once told me: 'Something that you receive because you're lucky and something that you are given because you are recognized are different in essence!' Take that to heart. This is the power that you earned because of your effort!"
Bad looks at the scene before him, and almost falls over at the next line from sheer hilariousness.
"Eat this."
"Huh?" Midoriya responds. All Might then chuckles and quickly states "In order to gain One For All, you must digest a part of my DNA while I am wanting you to have my quirk! Now, we need to hurry or you might be late! Eat. Eat! EAT!" All Might says as he gives Midoriya the strand of hair, Midoriya struggling to swallow it.
"Now, you two must hurry! You don't want to be late! Even though it's in a few hours, you might want to shower, Young Midoriya." All Might says as Midoriya and Bad quickly rush back to their homes.
.
.
.
Bad is trying to walk out of his house. Key word "Trying." He is having a bit of difficulty as Zenko is making sure he looks good. "Come on, Zenko, I need to go!" Bad says playfully as he ruffled her hair. She looks up at him and pouts, "I wanted to wish you good luck, Onii-san!" Zenko says, Bad chuckling. He bends down and gives her a hug. "I won't need luck, because I'm going to do great!" Bad says as Zenko's eyes light up. Zenko nods and lets Bad go.
Bad hurries as fast as he can to a train station to let him head over to U.A.
In a short time, he spots Midoriya at the entrance gates of U.A. High School. Midoriya is staring mouth open at the sight he sees. Bad whistles and gets Midoriya's attention. "This is pretty big...c'mon, Midoriya-kun, let's hurry." Midoriya nods as he and Bad start walking. But before they can get far, they hear someone behind them.
"Out of my way, losers." Bakugou says as he shoulders pass them, Bad giving a halfhearted glare at Bakugou's back as it moves farther away. Bad then looks at Midoriya and he nods. They both start walking forward-
Just for Midoriya to catch a brick and start falling face first. Bad goes to catch him, but he suddenly isn't falling down anymore.
"Phew. Caught you just in time." A feminine voice says behind them as the person grabs Midoriya and pulls him up straight. She connects her fingers together and starts speaking. "Sorry about using my Quirk on you. I just thought it would be kind of like bad luck for you to fall on your face." The girl says as Midoriya just stares at her. Bad silently chuckles as the girl then waves at them. "Well, good luck in the exams!" the girl says as she walks off. Midoriya then quietly screams, "I just talked to a girl!"
Bad snorts and then elbows him, "I don't think I heard you say a single word to her, Midoriya-kun." Midoriya puffs his cheeks in annoyance, making Bad chuckle. "Come on, let's go." Bad says as they walk ahead. Midoriya then pauses. "W-wait, your baseball bat! Are you going to be able t-to use it?" Midoriya asks. Bad then nods and starts speaking, pulling out an identical gray metal bat All Might got him as replacement. "About four months ago I sent a request to them to be allowed to use my metal bat. Since I'm quirkless, and this would be assisting me, they said that I would be allowed to use it. They said something about other people with quirks needing a tool to be able to use their quirk without injury to them or others, and just labeled it as something I 'needed'" Bad explains. Midoriya nods his head.
"I mean that does make sense. You are quirkless and you trained with that baseball bat since you were really young, so it would make sense that you 'need' it. Not only that, but your fighting style requires the baseball bat to be with you so it is needed even more. Then there's also the fact that it's just a regular metal baseball bat and not some sort of high tech bat. In fact, I think the support course could... " Bad sighed at Midoriya beginning to mumble. Bad clapped his hands in front of Midoriya, causing him to blink. "Ah! S-sorry! I started mumbling again…"
Ban chuckles, "It's alright. It didn't hurt anybody. Now, let's hurry so we're not late." Midoriya nods as they both head to the doors for U.A.
.
.
.
The auditorium was very massive, and Bad was surprised to see how many people were here. He knew at least hundreds of people applied for the Hero Course each year, but this was on a whole different level from what he expected. What he was expecting, and upset about, was that the seating arrangement was sorted by school districts. Meaning he was sitting close to Bakugou. Sadly, Midoriya was sitting right next to Bakugou and he was the seat next to him.
Suddenly, the stage lit up and they saw a man with spiked up blonde hair on the stage. It was the Pro Hero: Present Mic. "Welcome, listeners, to today's live performance!" His voice boomed throughout the room. The screens on the wall behind him had the school's U.A. logo. "Everybody say 'HEY'!" Present Mic only got silence in return.
"What a refined response." Present Mic said, not showing his disappointment, and struck a pose as he pointed to the crowd. "I'm here to present the guidelines of the practical exams! Are you ready?!" Again, nobody responded.
Meanwhile, beside him, Midoriya was gushing over Present Mic. Bad decided to quickly quiet him so nobody would get annoyed by him. "Hey, Midoriya-kun, you might want to be quiet. Don't want to distract others by accident." Bad quickly remarked, Midoriya sheepishly quieting down.
"But still, we're learning about the practical exam before the written?" Midoriya pondered to himself. Surprisingly, Bakugou responded.
"Written exams are the same at every school; a simple test. They have no reason to lecture us about something we should know already."
"This is how the test will go, listeners!" Present Mic snapped his finger, and the screens showed multiple smaller boxes. "You'll be experiencing a ten minute long 'mock cityscape maneuvers'! Bring along whatever you want! After this presentation, you'll each head over to your assigned testing location! Outside the city will be the building you take your written exams in, and when you completed it and time runs out, you'll head to the changing rooms to get ready for the practical! OKAY?!"
Bad gripped his gray bat a bit more out of nervousness. Not everyone had a Quirk their body would be able to control, and he himself didn't have a Quirk. This mock test might be more difficult than he thought.
Bad realized that Midoriya, Bakugou, and himself were in different zones. He was in zone C, Midoriya was in zone B and Bakugou was in zone E. Bakugou made a comment of how it must be to keep people from the same schools to help one another.
"Each site is filled with three kinds of mechanical faux villains!" Mic continued, making everyone once again pay attention. "Points are rewarded for defeating each according to their respective difficulty levels! Use your Quirks to disable these faux villains and earn points! That's your goal, listeners!" Mic spoke out.
Bakugou looks at Bad and sneers. "You think they'll hand out points on a technicality, Pomp?" Bad gives an unimpressed look to Bakugou. Present Mic continued on with his speech. "Of course, playing the antihero and attacking other examinees is prohibited! So don't do it!"
"Look at that." Bad starts, looking at Bakugou with a smug smirk, "over half of your points have just disappeared. Must feel bad." Bakugou gave Bad an equally unimpressed look to Bad. Suddenly, a blue haired kid stands up and raises his hand. "May I ask a question?!" The blue haired kid had glasses and looked very punctual, and he started asking his question. "There appear to be four faux villains on the handout we have received, but you have only talked about three faux villains we will face! If this is an error, it is highly unbecoming of Japan's top academy!"
Present Mic replies quickly, "You make a good point, Examinee 7111! There are four icons on the handouts! But the fourth faux villain is worth zero points. He's more of an obstacle for you listeners to work around! Each testing site has one - and only one - 'gimmick' villain that rampages through the city, and all you have to do is turn tail and move on to something else!" The blue haired kid thanks Present Mic for his explanation and sits down once again. "If there are no more questions, that's all from me!" Present Mic states.
As he sees nobody raise their hand, Present Mic struck another pose, and points to the screens behind him as they flicker again, each screen showing two of the lettered testing areas and grouped numbers below the boxes. "With the numbers you've been given, take yourself to the next step and prepare for the tests! All the while, I'll leave you great listeners with our school's motto! As general Napoleon Bonaparte once said, 'A true hero is one who overcomes life's misfortunes.' Now are you ready to go beyond?" Suddenly, the monitor behind him changed to show the words "Plus Ultra" while Present Mic raised his fist into the air, "Let's hear a 'Plus Ultra!'"
Bad smirked while Midoriya's entire body shook with excitement and happiness. They were both ready to go when Present Mic spoke again, "Good luck! Now get out there and show this school what you're all made of!" And with that, all of the students began to stand and make their ways toward the exit. Bad walked out of the auditorium and started to shake. Midoriya walked to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "You'll be fine. I'm sure you can pass the written exam." Bad nodded and made his way to the exam.

Bad sighed in relief when he got onto the bus. He was certain he got at least 80% of the questions right, and he was pretty confident in the answers he put down. He'll have to thank Midoriya later for studying with him as frequently as he did.
The bus soon came to a stop and Bad walked out in a red t shirt and some dark sweatpants. As he was walking, he looked over and noticed a girl with onyx eyes and dark purple hair that stops just around her chin. The most noticeable feature she had were her long flexible plug looking jacks from her earlobes. The girl seems to notice him staring, and looks at him. Bad then sighs and looks forward again. He had to be ready to start at any time, so he started to stretch. He finished stretching and grabbed his metal baseball bat.
"And start!" Present Mic said. It took Bad a second to realize what Present Mic said, but immediately responded by running as fast as possible to the gates that just began to open. Everyone looked up at Present Mic on the screen as he shouted. "Hurry up! There's no countdowns in real life combat, so get moving!" Before anybody even had begun to run to the gate, Bad was already running through. He looked ahead and saw three faux villains, two of them were two pointers and one was a one pointer. Bad grabbed his metal bat and swung for the one pointer's mid-section. The one pointer got hit and a good dent appeared on its side, but it was still standing. The one pointer easily smacked Bad away a good ten feet, Bad skidding across the ground. He looked up and sighed. Bad spits in his hand before gripping his bat harder.
"Looks like you have a pretty strong shell. Though you have one big weakness!" Bad shouted as he rushed up and hit the one pointer in it's singular wheel, denting it greatly and causing the robot to fall down. He slammed the end of the baseball bat into the robot's eye, taking it down. He then looks at one of the two pointers and smirks. He rushes at the scorpion looking robot and hits one of it's three standing legs, somehow hitting the metal clean off. The robot falls down and he proceeds to do what he did to the one pointer, knocking it down. Before he can turn around to the other two point robot, it manages to hit him in the side, knocking him back ten feet like the one pointer. He looks at the robot and growls. He rushes up and swings his baseball bat in a mighty arc like he practiced with All Might, and the robots head was torn clean off. Bad smirks confidently.
"That's five points down already." Bad thinks to himself as he runs through the city, looking for more points. As soon as he finished taking down the robots and runs off, the last person has gotten through the gate.

Toshinori Yagi, better known by his hero name All Might, was inside of a room with the entire U.A. Faculty watching the exams take place. Vlad King is watching the examinees and is interested in what he sees. "Some of these kids are doing very well. Some were quick enough to react almost immediately when Present Mic suddenly started the exam."
A small dog-bear-mouse looking creature nodded from his seat, as he talks as well. "Indeed, this test will be difficult. The examinees have not been informed of the number of villains or their locations in the fake city. They have a limited amount of time in such a vast area, so they will have to draw the villains out from there. And there are some qualities that we look for while the tests go on." the animal known as Nezu, the principal of the school, says as one screen with a blonde haired kid and a belt is shown shooting a laser out of his navel. "Discernment to be able to stay calm in any situation."
The next screen shows a boy with engines on his legs, the one with blue hair and glasses, kicking through a two-pointer, "Some utilize high speed to take down their targets," another screen shows a man with multiple arms with different appendages on each arm, "others use advanced surveillance to spot their targets and determined the most optimal place and time to strike," then it goes to a few other screens, including one showing a familiar ashy blonde blowing up a three pointer, "and there are many other factors that must be taken into account as well, such as power, confidence, combat ability, and experience. The ones who manage to combine all of these factors will be the ones who enter this school and rack up the highest total scores." Nezu finishes as Toshinori Yagi points to one screen and speaks up.
"There is also a matter of one's will to continue even when it looks bad. If you give up too easily, you won't be able to go that far as a hero." Everyone turns to the screen he's pointing at to see a boy with black hair in the style of a pompadour with dark eyes as he was hit by a three pointer. The teachers saw him quickly get back up to the robot and hit it vertically down, causing the robots head to cave in and turn off.
A very old man with gray hair looked at the screen Toshinori pointed to and hummed in agreement. "I would have to agree. I have had many people enter my dojo and not have the will to stand back up after being knocked down." he said sagely, everyone in the room nodding in agreement.
"Many of our applicants show a lot of potential." A black-haired woman with a very revealing outfit stated, interested by what she was seeing overall.
Nezu then gave a nod as a red button was suddenly pushed. "Let's see what the applicants do when the largest obstacle comes into place."

Bad was currently bashing a one pointer's head in, caving it down. He gave a quick sigh before he mentally counted for himself. Alright, that gives me 35 points total. It's not bad, but I really need to get more points Bad said to himself as Present Mic said there was only a few minutes left. He was ready to keep moving when he suddenly felt the ground shaking. He looked around and eventually spotted it….a robot dozens of times as big as any other robot he found!
"That must be the zero pointer…!" Bad said in shock as he saw the robot. He was ready to move out of the way, as everyone else near him ran, when he saw something. Or rather, someone. The same purple haired girl he saw earlier was stuck under some rubble, and the zero pointer kept thrashing around and running. Bad ran up to her and started moving the rubble, using his baseball bat to swing some of the bigger pieces off. Eventually, he got her out, and she looked at him. "Why are you helping me? You could be going for more points, yet you stopped to save me. Why?"
Bad did a small laugh and looked at her, a smirk on his face and said, "How the hell could I call myself a hero if I ran away when someone needed help? Simple, I couldn't!" Needless to say, the girl was shocked by his answer. "Can you walk on that leg?" He asked her, and she stepped with her left leg. She winced when she moved, but it wasn't unbearable. "I should be able to-"
"Good, then you should hurry up and run. I'm going to give you some time to run."
"What?! You can't seriously be thinking of fighting that thing alone!" The girl protested, but he looked her in the eye. "If I let you get in the way, me saving you would have been for nothing! So just get the hell out of here while you can!" He says, her eyes widening. Her eyes unwiden as she nods her head and hurries away as fast as she can.
"Alright...haven't fought anything this big before." Bad pondered to himself as he grabbed his bat. He spit on the palm of his left hand and gripped his baseball bat tight. "Let's do this!" Bad ran up to the zero pointer and swung hard and fast on the zero pointer's massive wheel area. It dented pretty well, and he smirked. But he would soon regret it as the robot sent it's mechanical arm his way, aiming to smack him. He used his baseball bat to block the strike, but was still sent flying a good distance away into the top floor of a building.
The girl stopped dead in her tracks when she saw that the man was flung into a building like he was a fly and stared at the zero pointer that slowly made its way to her. She started to hurry away, trying to get away, but she tripped over rubble she wasn't paying attention to. She looked up and saw the zero pointer getting closer, and she closed her eyes. Suddenly, she hears a familiar voice say something from a good distance away.
"That thing hits tough…but now it's got me pumped up!" The boy with the pompadour said. She could see his hair, and it was now very messy and looked spiked up in multiple directions. She saw him jump from a few close buildings and then he suddenly stopped when it was in front of the zero pointer on it's left side.
"You hit me pretty hard just now...so I'll hit you back even harder and take you down in one shot!" the boy said confidently as he raised his bat up and got prepared to jump
.

At this same moment
Everyone in the room was watching two specific screens as they saw two people jumping at a Zero Pointer, one with a gray baseball bat in hand and the other with green hair and their fist reared back. Both fueled by determination and want to save a girl, both applicants hit the zero pointer as hard as they could. While they struck, Toshinori Yagi said one thing:
"Nothing is nobler...than self-sacrifice!"
As soon as he said those words, everyone was shocked when they saw the one the green haired kid hit have its face dented in and being blasted back. But they were in even bigger shock when they saw the other boy hit the zero pointer and have a similar effect happen to the same robot; in fact, looking at it a bit harder, they saw the second zero pointer's face dented in even worse than the boy who punched it!
"Incredible. That boy's baseball bat along with his swing was strong enough to take out the zero pointer so easily! What is that baseball bat made of?!" a scrawny hero named Power Loader all but yelled out as Nezu stared at him. "The baseball bat is not special. It's made up of simple metal alloys like aluminum and, from what he said, some iron-like material." Power Loader then looked back at the screen in shock. "So...you're saying that-"
"That kid had all of that strength himself. The question is, where did that strength come from?" the same gray haired old man said once again.
"I think we all are wondering about that, Silver Fang." Nezu said to the old man as they watched the exams near the end.

Bad had just swung his bat as hard as possible, and smirked when he saw the results. He then blinked and looked at his surroundings, and saw he was going to fall if he didn't do something. He noticed that one of the zero pointers arms was moved up, likely to hit him again, so he wasted no time. He used his baseball bat and swung as hard as he possibly could, which made an air force that pushed him towards the arm. He landed on it and quickly jumped to a building's window. Using his baseball bat, he broke through the window. He then quickly ran out of the building and went to check on the girl.
"Are you okay?" He asked, the girl still looking at the boy in shock. She just saw him destroy such a colossus robot in just one swing! She then looked at his bat and her eyes widened. "Y-your bat…!" She exclaimed, pointing at it with her earlobe. Bad looked at it and winced, seeing that the bat was bent at a 90 degree angle.
"You know...I honestly thought it was going to break at the handle. Though, that brings a better question: how the hell did I manage to push myself in the air with the bat when it looks like this?" He questioned nobody in particular. His eyes widened when he remembered what he was doing here.
"Oh, crap, we have to hurry! We need to get you out of here before another robot-"
"AAAND TIMES UP!" Present Mic roared through the speakers, all robots stopping from engaging with the applicants. Bad sighed in relief as he looked at the girl. "We should probably start going." The girl nodded wordlessly as they both hurried over, Bad helping her walk.
They eventually met up with a group of applicants, all wide eyed at Bad.
"Holy crap! Did you see that guy? He took down that giant zero point robot with just a baseball bat!" One of the applicants exclaimed
"Yeah! Was that his Quirk strengthening his shots?" A clueless applicant questioned nobody in particular.
"He might have taken down that robot, but it left his bat in an unusable shape…" Another muttered under their breath.
"Alright, settle down dearies." A small old lady said as she walked through the crowd. She had an outfit on and was walking with a cane. "So, who's injured he- oh, my! You're injured pretty well, young man!" She said as she walked over to Bad. "I guess you can say so, but you need to help this girl first!" he said as he looked over to the purple haired girl.
"Well, alright then dear. Just let me heal you right afterwards, alright?" Bad nodded as the old lady walked up...and kissed the girl on her hand. Immediately, her eyes widened. "Hey, I don't feel any pain!" The girl said as she started stepping with her left leg. One of the applicants in the crowd gasped. "She's Recovery Girl! Her Quirk lets her speed up the recovery time of an injury! Something that could take months takes mere seconds!" Recovery Girl then kisses Bad on his hand, and he immediately can feel the difference. His injuries instantly feel like they're gone, and it's only then he notices that he had blood dripping from certain parts of his body.
"Alright, have some gummies, you two." Recovery Girl said as she handed them both gummies. "Do any of you kids have any injuries?" She asked, everyone shaking their head no. "Good. Now, go on and go back to the entrance, and you'll get your scores in a week at the latest." She said, everyone starting to disperse. Bad looks at the girl again and she looks at him.
"Are you okay?" He asks her sincerely. She nods, "Yeah, I'm just a little shaken from the zero pointer. Are you?" Bad chuckles a bit before looking at her, "I'm perfectly fine. Hell, that fight made me feel pumped up." He said, getting her to smile slightly. "I'm Jirou Kyoka; what's your name?" Bad looks at her and extends his right hand, "Gushiken Bad. Nice to meet you." He says with a genuine smile. She looks at him and then gives her a hand shake. "Hope you get into the Hero Course, Jirou-san. Anyway, I have to go. My sister is actually having a piano recital today, and I have about an hour to get to it. See you!" He waves to her as he runs off, his baseball bat in his left hand. Jirou looks on for a bit longer before walking herself.

It had been one week since Bad had taken the U.A. Entrance Exam, and he and Midoriya were both waiting at their respective houses. Bad was informed by Midoriya that he didn't get a single point during the exam, and Bad also revealed he doesn't think he got enough to pass. They both still believed that they should look on the bright side, but it was getting harder to do so.
"Onii-chan! Onii-chan! It's here!" Bad heard his little sister call for him. He instantly got up from his bed and ran into the living room to see Zenko holding a letter. "It's the letter from U.A.! Let's open it together!" Bad nods as he opens the letter and finds a holographic projector. He presses the button, and they are both shocked at who they see.
"I am here as a projection!" They both looked shocked at seeing the number one hero All Might as the person in the projection. "All Might?! What are you doing in the projection? This is from U.A., right?" Bad asks, Zenko nodding furiously.
"I bet you are wondering why I'm here! Well, I actually came to this town to work at U.A.!"
"No way! All Might's working at U.A.?!" Zenko gasps. Bad smirks at the revelation as All Might continues, "For the written portion of the exam, you scored a 84% on it! That's an above average score, so congrats on that! You also scored 35 villain points during the exam! Now, that would have been a fairly average score...if that was all there was to it!" Bad and Zenko look up and see that All Might is smiling at the camera. "The entrance exam the other day was not graded only on villain points!" All Might turns to the side and stares away from the camera thoughtfully.
"How can a hero course reject people who save others and do the right thing? This is a job that requires risking one's life to save others! So, we added another system: Rescue Points!" Zenko and Bad see a board with the top ten scores, and he reads three names he recognizes; 1st Place - Katsuki Bakugou: 77 Villain Points-0 Rescue Points. 8th Place - Izuku Midoriya: 0 Villain Points-60 Rescue Points. And… "Bad Gushiken! 35 Villain Points, and 40 Rescue Points! With 75 points in total, you came second in the exams! You passed with flying colors! AND, not only that, but you are the first quirkless student to be accepted into U.A.!" Zenko was shaking her big brother out of excitement. "You passed, Onii-chan! You did it! You're going to become a hero! The first Quirkless hero!" Zenko cheered.
Suddenly, All Might held his hand out to the screen, his signature smile never leaving his face, as he said one final sentence before the hologram turned off; a sentence that made Bad, for the first time in a long time, shed tears.
"Come, Young Gushiken. This is your hero academia!"
A/N: And that's the story! Hope you guys enjoyed this, and if you do, leave a review and share this with other people! I'm saying this because unlike most stories I do, a crossover doesn't get as much attention as my other stories might get, and if you want this to continue, I need to see some support! I think I'll do a few chapters on this story before I get into the MHA story. Until then, hope you all have a good day/night, a great week, and as always, stay positive!
