"Izuku! It's here!" Inko ran into his room waving a fancy envelope.
Midoriya fell out of his chair. "MY UA ACCEPTANCE LETTER?" He ran and grabbed it from his mother. "Wow! It's heavier than I thought it would be, I wonder if…"
"I'll leave you to it, 'k?" His mother winked at him as she left. "Good luck!"
Midoriya fumbled with the seal of the envelope finally ripping it apart allowing the small disc to fall and roll across the floor. He cursed and dove after it. Before he grabbed it the disc activated and a giant hologram was cast sideways atop his floor.
"Wha…?"
YOUNG MIDORIYA! All Might's voice boomed. This confused Midoriya considering the letter was from UA and he was fairly certain All Might did not work at UA. He would have heard of such a thing if he did.
Midoriya picked up the hologram and set it on top of his desk as there was some unintelligible chatter from someone behind the camera of the hologram.
Hmm? What do you mean wrong camera? What? Oh. Well why didn't you say so? All Might turned to face the camera that was projecting the hologram. Why even have two cameras if you're just using one of them... What a hassle… He grumbled.
"All Might!?"
This is just a recording so I can't hear you.
"Oh. Of course."
-not that it matters considering I'll see a lot more of you since I'll be teaching at UA this year!
Midoriya's jaw dropped.
It turned out that he was not aware of his idol/mentor (he wasn't quite sure about the exact terms of their relationship) becoming a teacher at his go-to school. The same school he had broken into just a week prior. Midoriya wondered if that meant All Might could give him detention if he found out about that whole escapade. He decided to play it safe and not tell him just in case.
But enough about that, congratulations! You passed the written test with flying colors, as for the practical, well, just watch the screen.
Midoriya watched the recording of a recording in which Uraraka approached Present Mic and asked for some of her points to be awarded to Midoriya (if his eyes became a little wet, well no one was there to say anything).
Because of your selflessness-
I'm sorry to cut All Might off but I'd like to point out that this is not totally true. Since Midoriya couldn't die it wasn't really selflessness that drove him. Mind you I have no idea what it was that drove him but I figured I'd just remind you that he's immortal. Just in case you'd forgotten.
-you've been awarded 60 rescue points! Oh, and Uraraka got 45 too for some reason… Anyways, with that, your total points come to 77, a tie for first place! All Might leaned in closer to the camera. And fair warning, you tied with young Bakugou. So I'd find a bomb shelter before he realizes that if I were you. I can't imagine he'll be too happy with you.
Midoriya remembered his reaction when they broke into UA. All Might was right. Bakugou was not very happy.
Meaning that you passed, kid! All Might said, stepping back. This is your hero academia!
The hologram winked out.
Midoriya was crying so much he almost missed the hologram turning back on.
"Huh?"
The new video showed Nedzu sitting in a much too large chair in his office.
Hello Midoriya!
"Um, hello?"
Nedzu chuckled. This is still a recording.
"Oh. Whoops?"
Don't be embarrassed! It's perfectly understandable.
Midoriya thought it was odd how perfectly Nedzu was reacting to him, even down to the very timing of his chuckles. He was pretty sure it was actually a recording which meant that Nedzu must have based his speech purely on what he knew about Midoriya. This was not a very comfortable thought to think so Midoriya decided to ignore it for now and focus on what Nedzu was saying.
This extra recording is of course about you and Bakugou's little adventure from a week ago. Don't worry! I'm not about to berate you, quite the opposite, in fact, I'm rather amazed at how you executed it. The very fact that you had the guts to do it, knowing I'd find out is enough to pique my interest.
Midoriya let out a little sigh of relief at that.
I do hope you don't mind, Nedzu continued. You see I was simply so curious that I took it upon myself to look into you and Bakugou.
That small breath of relief Midoriya had taken now came back full force as he found himself choking on air. He almost missed the next bit as his body tried to punish him for breathing so fast by making him cough.
That being said, I found some very… interesting things.
Midoriya grasped his chair tightly, worried about what the principal had found. Perhaps he knew about Midoriya's quirk, or his relationship with All Might, or maybe he even knew about the accidental avocado explosion (or as all involved now refer to as the disaster). He hoped it wasn't the accidental avocado explosion. That would really make for a terrible first impression.
The most intriguing thing I found was some old documents by your quirk doctor from when you were five. Nedzu leaned towards the camera. You have the most fascinating quirk. I understand your reasoning for keeping it quiet and I have no intentions of telling anyone. He chuckled. It will be more fun to see if your teachers and classmates can figure it out on their own anyway!
Even though he was now slightly terrified that the notoriously genius principal was aware of his immortality, Midoriya couldn't help but agree that confusing the rest of his class would be a definite plus to keeping quiet about his quirk.
But I feel certain that you and Bakugou will excel in UA, and I hope that I as your principal can help you grow into a successor worthy of the number one hero.
Oh. And it seemed that said principal also knew about One For All.
I am so very excited to see what you do during your time here, and there's not a doubt in my mind that you will go far! This is your hero academia Midoriya, welcome to UA!
Midoriya sunk in his seat as the hologram flickered off once more. Suddenly it turned back on, showing Nedzu grinning slyly at the camera.
One last thing, His grin widened. No avocados in class, please.
The picture dimmed again, this time for good. Midoriya simply gaped at the empty space.
He knew.
He knew everything.
