Chapter 18

Things went on as always, classes kept moving, midterms came and left.

"I DIDN'T STUDY FOR THE EXAMS!" Kaminari and Mina exclaimed, Mina had her hands behind her head and Kaminari looked panicked.

Tokoyami sighed, "It's been difficult with everything going on."

Camie sighed, "You know you could have used your free time at your internship to study." She leaned her head against her palm.

Camie: 6th Rank

"THE HECK, THE HOTTIE IS SMART TOO?" Kaminari was shocked and then yelped when Camie whacked him in the head, "Of course I'm smart, I'm not all looks and no brain!" She sounded offended.

I was writing on my black notebook, hmmm I might as well give some words of encouragement.

"Mina, Kaminari, I know that you can do your best and ace this exam." I gave them a smile, "YES PUT YOUR MIND TO IT THEN IT'LL BE POSSIBLE!" Iida agreed with me.

"How could you be failing if you're attending class…" Todoroki asked softly

Izuku: 2nd

Iida: 3rd

"LIKE YOU TWO GET TO TALK! YOUR IN THE TOP 3!" Kaminari screeched.

I sighed a bit, this guy..

"If you two need help, I'll be happy to tutor you." Momo offered with a smile. I chuckled, count on Momo to swoop in to save the day, I had a lot of planning to do, but I couldn't do that if I'm flunking my exams.

I went back to my seat and put my black notebook away. "Ah Midoriya, if it isn't any problem I could use some assistance in tutoring." I turned to look at Momo, "Really, well, I don't know how I can help but sure I'll help." I agreed, smiling, not noticing her smile widening with red cheeks.

Ochako and Camie watched with jealousy in their eyes. "Umm Momo, could you help me too?" Ochako asked quickly.

"Yeah me too, I need help on heroic laws." Camie added, I picked up my bag.

"Text me the time and address, I'll be there." I left to get lunch. I had a craving for tuna.

I took a bite of my tuna with a smile, "What do you think the practical will be?" Ochako asked as she ate some rice.

"Maybe a mixture of what we learned in Heroics, but I'm not so sure." Tsu replied.

"I think that it will be a combination of all we learned just like the written exams, we just have to keep our wits about us and we will excel!" Iida boasted.

I chuckled, "With all this I-" I suddenly felt a presence behind me.

I leaned forward before someone tried to hit me in the back of my head.

"Wow what amazing reflexes." Monoma mocked as he held his tray with his… wine glass? "Monoma from class B!" Camie recognized him.

"I heard that you beat the hero killer, the sports festival wasn't enough wasn't it, you just had to take the spotlight, it must be getting pretty dangerous, Right?" His expression turned a bit dark.

Geez this guy was annoying.

Thankfully, Kendo dealt with him just fine, by chopping the back of his head. "Not funny, didn't you hear what happened to Iida, sorry about him Midoriya, he's just jealous of your fame." She told me.

I smiled. "It's no problem Kendo, oh and I saw your commercial with Uwabami, you looked amazing." I praised, causing her to blush. "T-thank you."

Everyone at the table looked at me, 'Does he know he's flirting?'

Kendo shook her head, her blush receding, "Anyway, I heard you guys talking about the practical, between you and me, I think it's a battle with the robots from the entrance exam." Kendo told us.

"Robots?" Ochako asked, "Yeah." The orange haired girl nodded. I couldn't help but laugh, Kendo looked at me, "Is something funny?" She asked.

"No, just a tip, don't believe everything you hear also, do you have your weak points covered?" I asked, taking a sip of my water.

Kendo blinked, "My weak points, why do you ask?" I smiled, "Well let's just say, we're gonna be up against certain… opponents that will make it hard for us." I continued to eat.

"Your hiding, typical of Class A to-GAK!" And like that Monoma was out. "Okay, well thanks for the tip… what's your source?" Kendo pressed. "A rat who teaches my baby sister." I revealed.

Kendo pursed her lip and left with Monoma in tow.

Everyone at the table was looking at me. "... Do you know what the practical exam is going to be?" Camie asked, I didn't answer.

"... Can you at least tell us what we can expect?" Ochako begged leaning forward, I smiled at her and poked her nose. "Boop."

Class ended and I walked out of the classroom smiling, hehe it was fun to mess with people.

Walking down the stairs spotted Bakugo, we stared at each other for a while and then he turned away… I don't honestly know what our relationship is right now, he avoids me like the plague, in hero basics he just blows me off when I try to help… what was with that.

Certain times, he goes with my jokes… but that's about it..

I sighed, was this gonna affect who was gonna be paired up with who?

I walked to find Momo waiting, "Oh Midoriya, I umm I have a time set, tomorrow at 2pm if that's alright with you?" She asked, "Ah, sure that'll be fine." I confirmed.

"Also ummm I was wondering if you had a preference for any dessert after the study session." She looked down shyly.

"Oh well, anything you have will be fine." I smiled. "Is there anything you'd like in particular?" She asked. "Oh umm well I like white and milk chocolate chip cookies." I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck.

"I can have some made!" She smiled, I will see you tomorrow!" She ran off, I blinked at that and looked down, should I let her down easy…

I sighed, another time, now was a time to focus.

I went to the Support Studio to talk to Melissa, I was about to knock but remembering my last experience coming here, I stepped aside and knocked.

The door opened and Melissa poked her head out. "Ah Midoriya, don't worry come in." She invited me in, I walked inside to see Hatsume sleeping on her desk, a dart sticking out of her arm.

"I made a tranquilizer gun, Power Loader approved, so what can I help you with?" She asked me with a smile.

"Well, I need to ask, what do you know about boosting quirks?" I asked, Melissa blinked, "I mean, I know of the illegal drugs… wait, you're not." I shook my head "No no, I mean the safe kind." I denied, I wasn't a drug user.

"Oh well, there are some support items that help quirks but not really boost them, why?" I bit my lip.

"Do you remember at the sports festival when I was struck with lightning, well when Ochako touched me as I was electrified, some of the power from my quirk transferred to her, the power boosted her quirk making it evolve, now she can control the gravity of objects, she still can use the old aspect of her quirk but now she can do more then before." I explained.

Melissa stared at me for a moment before she pushed me onto a chair. "Wait here!" She ran to her workbench and took out a strange device and placed it on the table next to me, she plugged in some cables and placed them in my hands.

"Okay now I want you to try and power the battery." She ordered. I nodded and activated OFA, letting it sit at 20%, I tried to push energy into the cables, the device beeped a few times before it exploded. I jumped as the shrapnel flew.

Thankfully, Melissa wasn't hurt but she looked like she was shocked and very excited. "Oh my god… I have to talk to Uraraka!" She took out her notepad and wrote down notes. "So can also power devices, I have to tell dad!" She suddenly hugged me. "Thank you for telling me this Midoriya!" She pulls away with a wide grin. "This is huge… I have to wake up Mei!"

I was stuck there with two mad scientists until Power Loader came to save me, Melissa told me she wanted to work on this new quirk booster more later on.

I hoped I could do good with this.

The next day, I was walking to Momo's… house… mansion… Yeah her mansion, I had my bag ready with books to help with the tutoring, I found my classmates staring at the gate with wide eyes.

Ochako fainted but I caught her before she could hit the floor. "Hey guys." I greeted, "DUDE YAOYOROZU IS LOADED!" Kaminari screeched, "Yeah… Let's go inside."

"Uuuugh." Ochako opened her eyes and blushed when she realized that she was caught by her crush. I looked at her and smiled, "You okay?" I asked.

Ochako jumped up. "FINE!" I chuckled and we went inside as the gates opened.

I rang the doorbell and Momo opened the door with a beaming smile, a bubbly aura surrounding her, "Oh your all here, come in!" She opened the door giddy gliding through the room.

We were in the… study hall, man how many rooms does this mansion have? Momo handed me a book, "We will be covering the basics first and then work our way up." She then ran to the door and brought in a trolly with some snacks, she took a basket with cookies and handed it to me, "For you and Eri." She smiled blushing.

"Aww thanks, Eri will love these, the girl has a sweet tooth." I took a bite and hummed in delight. "Great!" I praised, "Oh thank you." Momo beamed brighter.

"If you two are done flirting, can you pass the chips?" Mina smirked, we both blushed.

This was gonna be a long week...

Mina dragged me and the rest of the squad (Ochako, Camie, Iida and Kirishima) out to the city 2 days before the exams. "Come on! This new place opened up and I want us to try it!"

I rolled my eyes, classic Mina, "Hey don't roll your eyes at me mister, you're almost all work and no play!" "Because we need to study for the exams but I do agree, a break will do everyone good once in a while." I looked at Ochako, "Any idea where she's taking us?" I asked.

"No." She responded, I leaned in and whispered. "If she kills me, give all my possessions to Eri." I whisper, making her giggle. "HEY, IT'S A SURPRISE!" Mina pouted.

"Kidding!" I raised my hands in defeat. "AH here we are!" Mina ran up to a newly opened ice cream shop.

I blinked and looked at the others. "Well... at least we get icy treats for a hot sunny day." Iida spoke up as we went inside.

Mina was up front looking at the flavours available, wow so many. Ochako and Camie ran up next to her quite enticed by the wide range of flavours.

"Oh I'll have strawberry with sprinkles!" Ochako ordered.

"I'll have the rocky road." Camie added.

Mina hummed. "Ummm and I'll have the neapolitan!"

I looked at the guys, "Do all girls have sweet tooths?" I asked, "Probably." Kirishima shrugged and walked up to see what they had with Iida in tow.

I was about to join them but I bumped into someone, "Oh sorry about… that." I blinked as I looked down to see pinks and brown eyes looking up at me.

The girl was shorter than me…. Like way shorter, she had pink and brown hair and fair skin, she wore a white cropped wide, broad tailed jacket with a pink interior, collar, a single pink button and large pink cuffs. She wears brown pants with a dark belt that has a gray buckle and an additional narrow belt under it.

"Ummm… Are you okay?" I asked, the girl smirked and nodded. Oh god I wish I was wrong. Neopolitan simply put her hand on my chest and winked, she turned and walked away with an umbrella in hand.

Mina came up to me, "Hey Midori, do you wanna try some neapolitan?" She asked me, offering me her cone, I looked at the ice cream and back at the door where Neo left from. "...no." I want to get my order.

Ochako came up looking confused. "What's that about?" She asked, Mina shrugged.

I got myself a caramel ice cream and we left the ice cream shop, I finished my cone still thinking about Neo, how was she here, did she have a counterpart here, was she a criminal, was Roman here…

"Umm bro, what's that?" Kirishima asked, pointing at my back pocket. "What?" I checked and took out a card which had Neo's symbol with a phone number.

"..." I took a deep breath and pocketed the number. "Nothing… just nothing." I waved them off and we continued to walk, I caught a glimpse of her before she winked and shattered like glass.

…. Why can't things be simple.
