Chapter 38
The Provisional License Exam… Today was the day.
A day after the interview, hero activity skyrocketed throughout Japan and even worldwide.
According to my classmates, my interview started to push heroes to do their absolute best.
The top 10 spots on the billboard chart were now called the Pillars of Society being the ones who contributed the most.
I was officially dubbed the Symbol of Hope by the people. All agreeing that the title fit me.
People took my words seriously, was it because of my status as All Might's successor or was it because people understood what I was saying and decided to act.
The top 10 heroes took their titles into stride. I heard from Shoto who heard from his sister that Endeavor was pleased with his title, Symbol of Power, even if he tried to hide it.
Hawks waved off the title as he had more responsibility put on him but did admit it sounded cool.
Jeanist took the titles to heart as he loved them both, I don't know if he knew I was joking or he was joking also… But the fact that I got a package from him with a couple of jeans in them made me think he wasn't and Bakugo laughing when he saw me take the jeans out of the package didn't help.
Jokes on him though, I like the jeans.
Edgeshot accepted the title as he said "I will keep the world together with my quirk as much as I can."
Crust was very vocal with his acceptance of his title, calling me the manliest person out there, Kirishima agreed with me, though he back tracked when I asked "I thought that was Bakugo?" He stopped and blushed feverishly apologizing to his bro as Bakugo didn't give a shit about it.
I'm convinced they're dating but haven't seen any proof yet.
Mirko loved her title and was kicking ass harder than before, if the last person she beat up being sent to a hospital was any indication..
Ryukyu and Yoroi accepted their titles when they were asked. They weren't boastful about it which showed that they took their jobs very seriously.
Other heroes tried to give themselves titles but it never stuck since I wasn't the one who gave them titles… Geez people ate stuff like this up didn't they.
"Deku!" I jumped as I nearly dropped my phone, I looked up to see Uraraka looking down at me from her seat in front of me. "We're nearly there!" She gave me a smile.
"Thanks Uraraka." I returned a smile of my own as I put my phone away. I looked out the window of the bus to see the large colosseum where we would be taking the exam, National Dagoba Arena
We would be facing students from other schools. I felt giddy at the thought but this was like taking the exam with all the answers. I don't know if they're gonna change the exam but if they don't…
I looked at Bakugo who sat a few seats in front and then at Shoto who sat 2 seats behind me, these two needed to pass.
Inasa Yoarashi, a student from Shiketsu who has beef with Shoto… I needed to intervene.
The bus stopped in front of the stadium and we all stepped out of the bus. Mr. Aizawa walked in front of us.
"Ugh… I'm getting kinda nervous.." Jiro shuddered.
"Me too… I hope we can all get our licenses." Kaminari gulped nervously.
Aizawa turned to us. "If you can pass this test and get your provisional licenses, then you novice eggs will hatch into chicks, you'll be semi pros." Aizawa gave us a narrowed look. "I expect your best."
Kirishima grinned. "All right, now I'm pumped, let's call out the usual guys!" I noticed Inasa walking up behind Kirishima with a wide smile… creepy.
"Plus-" "ULTRAAAAAA!" I chuckled as everyone jumped back at Inasa's enthusiasm.
"It's rude to barge into someone's huddle like that Inasa.." A purple haired student scowled. Inasa simply looked at everyone.
"Pardon me!" He slapped his hands to his sides. "I AM SO VERY EXTREMELY SORRY!" He bowed so low he hit his head on the pavement.
"Who is this guy? I do not trust his enthusiasm!" Kaminari looked weirded out.
Jiro blinked. "Hey look at their uniforms."
"They're from that famous school on the other side of Japan." Sero added.
Bakugo stared at the Shiketsu students calmly. "UA in the East, Shiketsu in the West."
As Inasa went off on his spiel, the purple haired boy walked up to me. I blinked as he stared at me with judging eyes, what was his name… Sanji? Saju?
"So you're the Symbol of hope… and successor of All Might." He narrowed his eyes. Inasa stopped to look at us. "You don't look like much."
I raised an eyebrow. "Appearances can be deceiving." I responded. "And you don't look like much either."
"Seiji." Ah Seiji that was it. "Don't cause any trouble." Nagamasa Mora called out. "Fine.." Seiji walked away.
I suddenly felt my hand being grabbed and being shaked rapidly. "IT'S SUCH AN HONOR TO MEET YOU!" Inasa grinned at me widely and let go, going after his classmates.
"What…" I muttered, slightly dazed
"Inasa Yoarashi." Aizawa spoke up. Toru looked at him. "Do you know him, Mr. Aizawa?" She asked.
"Indeed, he's strong, he's the same year as you are and received the top scores for students who've been admitted through recommendations." He explained. "But for some unknown reason, he rejected his acceptance letter and went to Shiketsu."
"Hold up… I'm confused… he said he loves our school but turned down his chance to enroll when it was offered?" Sero asked. "Yeah.. What a weirdo." Mina added.
"Maybe, but he's the real deal, keep an eye out." Aizawa commented before he tensed up after hearing a familiar voice.
"Eraser?" I looked at the source and smirked when I saw Ms Joke walking over. "I know that scowl anywhere." I stifled a laugh.
"I saw you on TV and at the sports festival but it's been a while since we've been this close in person!" Aizawa looked ready to hang himself with his own capture weapon.
"Let's get married." "No." Aizawa turned down Ms. Joke who burst out laughing. "You're a real riot buddy!"
"And you're impossible as always, Joke.." Aizawa's eyes twitched.
"Ms. Joke the smile hero and the grouchy Eraserhead." I whispered to Camie who giggled. "Opposites attract?" She whispered back as I nodded.
"Don't!" We jumped as Aizawa gave us a death glare but our grins didn't falter.
Aizawa sighed. "Joke if you're here then that means.."
Joke grinned wider. "That's right." She turned to call out to her students. "Over here everyone, It's UA."
I saw the Ketsubutsu students walking towards us, Yo Shindo, the look alike… his quirk is vibrations.
Good thing I had something to counter that.
"Ketsubutsu Academy, Second years, Class 2. My class." Ms. Joke introduced.
Shindo came up to me and took my hands. "I'm Shindo, UA has been through a lot this whole year hasn't it." He greeted me with a friendly smile.
I watched as he went to do the same with Kaminari as he continued speaking.
"Well I hope we can learn from you too Shindo, though, I can see right through you." I gave a small smirk.
Shindo looked at me surprised then had a smirk of his own. "We'll see." He walked away, I turned and chuckled as the blond girl was fangirling over Shoto.
"Hey!" Aizawa called out. "Get changed into your costumes and go to the orientation… Don't waste time." He ordered as I picked up my case and bag that had my shield.
We were still famous…
Heh but what they didn't know is how much we've grown.
I was the last one in the locker room as I put the shield on my back.
This was me taking the next step.
A necessary one, once I have my license, I'll be able to help more with the plans I set in motion.
Adjusting my gloves, I felt a small tingle in the back of my head, not danger sense.. It wasn't a warning but…
Shaking my head, I walked out of the locker room.
Walking through the large crowd, I searched for my classmates.
I soon spotted Uraraka and made my way to her.
"So many…" I mumbled as I walked up next to her.
There was a loud sigh as all the attention was shifted to the man on the desk with guards besides him.
Mera, an agent of the Hero Safety Commission. I didn't know much about him.
I tuned out the whole explanation. It was the same as the anime, using the orange balls to tag a person, the third one you tag means that you pass and the other person is defeated… At least I think so.. I rubbed my head in annoyance.
I could feel the uneasiness as the situation set in. My classmates were nervous.
The room shaking snapped me out of my thoughts as I looked around, the whole room opening up like a box, showing the area where we'll be taking our tests, different zones, a city, industrial factory, rocky terrain, a part of a city with a highway and even a forest with a waterfall.
Mera walked away after finishing his explanation.
This was it!
I ran to my classmates. "Okay guys, game plan!" I looked at Bakugo. "I know you want to go out and do your own thing, so instead of trying to convince you, I'll allow it, but you have to bring at least two others with you."
The explosive teen gritted his teeth and walked over grabbing Kaminari and Kirishima. "Come on you morons." He dragged them off.
Okay, hopefully they'll help him pass the first test… Who am I kidding? He'll pass either way with his tenacity.
I turned to Todoroki who was walking away. "Oh no you don't." I grabbed the back of his collar. "We're sticking together." I gave him a hard look.
We stared at each other before he sighed and nodded. Good.
"Anyone else have any objections?" I asked my class.
I received no responses.
"Alright… Let's go." I ran with the rest of class A towards the rocky area.
"Okay everyone, listen up." I looked at the remainder of my class. "The other schools know about our quirks." I revealed.
"What but how?" Mina asked as she looked around.
"Ah yes, the sports festival!" Iida responded, his eyes widening in realization
"Our skills are televised all over the world, sure it gives us publicity but also gives away what we can do." I explained as I stopped causing everyone else to do the same.
"But what they don't know is how fast and how much we've improved." I gave them a smirk. "That's how we'll-" I stopped as I sensed danger all around us.
I turned and saw a while army of students with orange balls in their hands ready to throw.
Shindo grinned. "Can't stop all of us with those whips can you?" He asked as he threw the orange ball with hundreds more following.
"The crushing of UA… Not today, Uraraka! Saturn's Ring!" I gave the order.
The girl's eyes widened in realization as she put her fingers together, the balls suddenly stopped in place.
"The thing about UA…" I started as I grabbed 4 balls with my whips and smirked. "When we jump, we aim for the stars." I lashed out, letting the balls fly.
My classmates did the same, grabbing some of the floating balls and throwing them or kicking them.
The other students jump back to avoid the onslaught.
Yo clicked his tongue. "We need to split them up." He put his hands on the ground ready to use his quirk but he immediately lifted his hands to catch my shield as I used Fa Jin to ram into him.
"Nope!" I grinned.
Yo smirked and tried to use his quirk, but with him holding my shield, it had no effect. Vibration absorbent for the win!
Shindo's shocked expression was satisfying to see. I pushed myself off Shindo and landed next to Ochako. Looking at her and getting an idea, maybe…
I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her onto my chest, helping her avoid some of the orange balls. Ochako looked up at me with her permanent blush deepening with my action.
Winking, I pushed her away as more balls were thrown our way.
I grabbed some of the orange balls with black whip and threw them towards a random hero student.
Two of the person's markers lit up. I dashed towards him and tagged his last one.
I saw my classmates working together to tag the other students. I was proud of them!
Spotting Camie, using her illusions to confuse some of the other hero students, I leapt over to her and tagged my last one. My markers turned blue and I saw Camie with her marker lighting up blue as well.
"Nice." I grinned at her.
"Thanks cutie." Camie winked with a flirty smile and we heard the announcement for those who already passed, to go to the break room where all test passers were supposed to go.
Making my way to the break area with Camie, I spotted some of my other classmates and gave them a wave.
"We all passed!" Mina jumped in place with glee.
"Don't see Bakugo, Kirishima and Kaminari though." Sero commented as he searched the crowd.
I hummed. He was probably going against … was his name Seiji right now.
Bakugo jumped back from Seiji who was throwing lumps of flesh at him, using his explosions to move out of the way.
Kaminari yelped and let out a shockwave, repelling the lumps of flesh, Kirishima behind him. "Geez this guy isn't even tagging anyone." Kirishima stared at the lumps of flesh that were once people.
"I respect UA High School." Seiji spoke up. "I take pride that we're considered equals." He glared at Bakugo. "However, you lot continuously act in ways that cause it's dignity to decline."
Bakguo narrowed his eyes and stepped up. "Obligations… Dignity?" He cracked his neck. "You keep talking and not showing action, actions speak louder than words!" He aimed his gauntlets at the Shiketsu student.
Seiji growled. "Especially you! Bakugo!" He shot the flesh at 3 UA students.
"AP SHOT: Auto cannon!" Bakugo fired small compressed shots coming his way. "Riot! stay behind me!" He ordered. Kirishima did as he was told but was also shocked by Bakugo's order.
"HEY WHAT ABOUT ME!?" Kaminari shrieked as he dodged the meatballs. "USE YOUR ELECTRICITY TO REPEL, DUMBASS!" Bakugo snapped at Kaminari.
Seiji gritted his teeth. "This is a demonstration of power." Catching the trio's attention. "This test has an unusually low passing rate. Since All Might's retirement, we've reached a turning point. Wouldn't it be appropriate to increase the number of heroes?"
Bakugo scowled as he listened, he didn't like what he was saying.
"Namely, what this implies is that they're weeding out the riffraffs." Seiji explained. "They're starting to become more selective in order to bring the hero profession to a higher level! I wish to support that. So I'm removing you folks right now!"
Kaminari looked confused. "You're ignoring the test to do that?"
"All your spouting is bullshit." Bakugo finally spoke. Seiji raised an eyebrow.
"You claim that you're doing this to weed out the weak but all you're doing is stopping others from taking their chances to show what they can do." Bakugo glared. "From what I can see, one touch of any of your shitty meat balls means that we could become one of those." He points at the lumps of meat surrounding the Shiketsu student.
"Hmph, you are correct." Seiji admitted. "Then we'll just have to take you down, then we'll see who's weak!" Bakugo exclaimed. "YEAH!" Kirishima shouted.
"Geez, you two are hardcore…" Kaminari muttered, but he was with them all the same.
"Foolish." He sent more lumps of flesh towards them. "I'm doing this for the betterment of-" He stopped as he spotted something flying past his face. A small grenade.
BOOM!
Seiji was sent back, his hat flying off as he landed on his back. Bakugo took that moment to blast forward and placed his foot on the Shiketsu student's chest with a hard look on his face.
"Don't talk shit when you don't know anything about us." Bakugo used a controlled explosion to blast his face to knock him out.
"Dude, that was so manly!" Kirishima praised. "Yeah!" Kaminari agreed then stepped back. "Whoa, those lumps were other students!" He points at the students who were turning back to normal.
Bakugo grinned savagely. "Now, let's test these fuckers." Kirishima hardened his arms with a wide grin of his own.
I walked through the crowd, looking for Inasa. If I could convince him to not be so cold towards Shoto then they would both pass.
"Izuku Midoriya was it?" I blinked as I turned to see one Saiko Intelli with her lackeys behind her.
They were able to pass? But how?
"Oh yes and you are?" I raised an eyebrow, why did she want to talk to me? "Saiko Intelli, I'm from Seiai Academy." She introduced herself.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, can I do anything for you?" I asked.
"I simply wished to meet the new symbol of hope, you have inspired a lot of people to take this course more seriously, myself included." She placed a hand on her chest. She reminded me of Momo with how… Proper she was.
"You're welcome, but I suppose that there's more to this conversation than meets the eye." I crossed my arms.
"Ah, perceptive I see. Well I was hoping that maybe.." She blushed and gave a shy smile. Wait…
"I was hoping, maybe we could exchange numbers and well… Get to know each other more?" She tilted her head.
Shit… was she asking me out?
I spotted Bakugo, Kaminari and Kirishima walking in the distance. "Oh I'll have to get back to you on that." I smiled and walked past her. "I have to go check on my friend." I ran over to Bakugo.
I hoped I didn't hurt her feelings…
Walking up to Bakugo, Kaminari grinned. "Yo, Midoriya, glad to see everyone in our class making it."
"Glad to see you three making it also." I high fived both Kirishima and Kaminari, when my gaze fell on Bakugo, he had his arms crossed looking away from me.
Bakugo." He looked at me and saw my fist raised. Staring at me for a solid minute, he bumped fists with me and walked away.
I swore that my grin was wider than All Might's after he did that. Kaminari looked shocked, Kirishima looked pleased with a toothy grin.
"DUDE!" He looked at me as if I was a god. "He fist bumped you!" He then started to run after Bakugo trying to get a fist bump from the explosive blond with Kirishima following
I chuckled and spotted Uraraka getting water. Walking over to her, I swallowed the lump in my throat and spoke up.
"Uraraka?" She turned to look at me. "Oh Deku, is everything alright?" She asked me.
I stared at her for a good while and my hands were a bit shaky. "After the whole exam is done… Do you wanna go get mochi?" I blushed. "Just… You and me?"
Ochako blinked for a few moments before her face turned deep red. "L-like a date?" She stuttered.
Nodding, "Yeah… A date… If that's fine with you and all!" "NO!" She yelped. "I would love to!" She waved her arms around hysterically.
I sighed in relief. "So… Can we talk about this later after the exam?" I asked. "Yeah!" She nodded.
"Great!... Oh I need to go..." I spotted Inasa with the rest of his classmates talking to Bakugo and Kirishima. Ochako nodded. "I'm gonna see if they have some sweets here." I chuckled and patted her head before going towards the group.
I kept my distance as I listened into the conversation. I could see Todoroki doing the same.
The… Hairy student, Nagamasa, was talking about building a good relationship between schools.
"Well I think that's what we should all strive for." I interjected as they turned to me. "We're all gonna be working together one way or another someday, so why not start now?" I grinned.
Nagamasa nodded. "He's correct. It'll be good to work with you all someday." He walked away as Todoroki approached Inasa.
"Hey, you with the shaved head." Inasa stopped and looked at Todoroki.
"Did I do something to you?" Todoroki asked. Inasa gave Todoroki a cold look. "Oh?"
Turning to face Todoroki, he spoke with a mocking tone. "Well, I'm sorry, son of Endeavor.. But I hate you guys.."
Frowning, I stomped over. "Do you have a problem with my friend?" I demanded.
"Friend?" Inasa looked at me. "You should pick better friends.."
"You say that like you know him." I glared at him, my eyes briefly glowing with blue energy. "But he doesn't even remember you… I can imagine you two meeting at the recommendation exam." I looked at Todoroki. "Do you remember him?" I asked him.
His bluish gray eyes widened as he remembered. "You were the wind user that day…" He muttered as he looked at Inasa. "I'm sorry." He bowed.
Inasa looked shocked. "I didn't mean to act that way towards you… I realized that I was acting like my father… which is something I hated.. But now I have changed."
Inasa stared at Shoto with wide eyes. "I…"
"Inasa.." I spoke up. "Shoto isn't like his father… He's a good person who's trying to be a hero… and I know you want to be one too.. Harboring anger towards a fellow hero does nothing but put others at risk." I told him.
Shoto looked at me quizzically before an alarm started to sound.
"Villains have begun a large scale terrorist attack. This is all occurring in 'City Name Here'" The announcer spoke through the intercom.
I rolled my eyes, they couldn't come up with an actual name?
"Due to buildings collapsing, there are many injured." Just then the whole room started to split open like the last one. "And with the heavily damaged roads, the first group of rescue workers have been delayed."
I looked into the city as the walls came down. "Until they arrive, the heroes in the area will lead the rescue efforts. Save as many lives as you can." I called upon FC and waited. "START!"
Everyone sprung into action. I ran with some of my classmates along with other hero students into the ruined city. This is what being a hero was all about!
Shigaraki stared out the window of the abandoned apartment building he was staying in, he felt… Tired… Angry…
The burnt fucker, Dabi left.
Compress, he left too, there was nothing left of the League of Villains.
Kurogiri left, to find something to turn the tide… But now…
Shigaraki felt alone, for the first time in so long, he had no one to turn to, no one to help him… Was he really a player, he relied on his master for so long, now he was gone and Shigaraki had no idea what to do.
It was they're fault… the heroes.
Before Dabi left, he said something that stuck with him.
"You hate heroes so much, you don't even know why you hate them."
He knew why… didn't he…
He hated them because All Might toppled his master's empire and nearly killed him…
No… That was the master's reason…
"What's my reason…" He tried to think back, all his time with master… But there were missing pieces…
Walking out the door of the room, he decided to take a long walk.
Maybe he'll see something enlightening..
I carried an … actor, acting as a child, towards the evacuation zone.
"Here, don't worry, it'll be alright." I assured the boy with a … strange face… This was so weird.
Getting up, I made my way to the edge before I felt the ground shake.
"There has been a large scale terrorist attack by villains." I turned around and saw Gang Orca along with his "henchmen"
"The next step of the exercise." I looked around and then to a random student. "Take them to safety!" I ran into the frey.
I tapped into Fa Jin and crouched. "Fa Jin: Thunderstrike!" I pushed forward, flying towards a henchmen and punched their stomach, I pushed off once more, taking out 3 more henchmen.
I put my foot down, stumbling as I saw some civilians getting left behind. I ran back and helped with evac.
From the corner of my eye, I saw Inasa flying towards Gang Orca, as well as Shoto. I hoped those two won't clash with each other but work together…
Shoto leaped off his ice trail and ignited his hands. "Stay back!" He shot a torrent of flames at Orca.
He gritted his teeth as Orca released a soundwave. "Nice try, but you'll have to do better than that." He mocked Shoto.
"I have much more than that." He ignited his arms at the highest temperature. "This is my own moveset, named after my bastard father's quirk." He whispered to himself, he took a deep breath as he tried to cool his insides with the ice part of his quirk.
'Thank you Midoriya, you curbed my weakness.' "Hellfire Fist: Hell Blade!" He spinned in place and slashed the air, an arc of fire made its way to Gang Orca.
Orca crossed his arm and took the hit. "I've felt hotter flames from your father." He stomped forward but was stopped by a strong gust of wind.
Looking up, Shoto locked eyes with Inasa.
Inasa was… skeptical. Seeing Shoto Todoroki again after the Recommendation exam was shocking, he changed, he was more… open, didn't have the same look as his father, then he apologized one Izuku Midoriya stepped in.
The words still rang in his head ' Harboring anger towards a fellow hero does nothing but put others at risk'
He wanted to prove himself and one up the son of Endeavor but as he looked into those gray mixed with blue eyes, he knew if this was a real situation. He would need to put those grudges aside and be a hero.
"Follow my lead!" He screamed as he created a tornado of wind around Gang Orca.
Shoto's eyes widened in realization as he ignited his arms. "Got it!" He shot a torrent of flames at the tornade, creating a blazing inferno.
I stopped for a moment to stare at the flaming tornado with a smirk. "That's my que." I leaped into the air, making my way to the battle.
Shoto gritted his teeth as he could feel himself heating up from using fire as hot as this.
"Working together like this will help you in the long run. But what if your opponent is stronger?" Orca let out a powerful sonic wave, breaking the tornado and sending Inasa back.
I flashed in front of Gang Orca and went for a kick to the head, but he was able to block my kick with his metal bracer.
I pushed a bit more until the siren blared, signaling the end of the exam.
Falling to the floor, I landed on my feet and looked up at Gang Orca. "If it's not too much, can I have your autograph?" I asked with a smile as I presented my notebook already having his page with the pen in my other hand .
"Oh sure." He took my notebook with the pen and signed. "Huh, these are pretty detailed." He handed me back the notebook. "Thanks." I smiled wider as I walked over to Todoroki.
"Are you feeling okay?" I asked. Todoroki nodded, breathing heavily as he wiped sweat off his brow. "Yeah, just not used to using high tempered flames." He responded.
"I think you need to get used to the heat after using your ice all these years." I commented.
"That's what my father told me.." Shoto muttered as we went to see the results of our exam.
We went back to the locker rooms and changed out of our hero outfits and back into our school uniforms.
Everyone gathered in front of the very large screen behind the stage with Mera looking very tired as usual. I could feel the unease around me as I crossed my arms.
If I did things right, Shoto and Bakugo should pass… I looked around and spotted Bakugo next to Kirishima. I really hope that he passes, he's changed so much since the Sports Festival.
"Congratulations to those who passed the exam, your results will be shown on the screen behind me." Mera drawled out as he put his head on the desk.
The screen showed the results. I searched the screen for my name.
I found it. I passed.
A grin started to form on my face as I then searched for Bakugo's and Todoroki's names, my grin became wider when I saw their names on the screen.
All of Class 1-A passed!
"YES!" Mina jumped for joy when she saw her name. "I passed!" Camie cheered. "We all did!" Uraraka cheered along with her.
I walked over to Bakugo who was smirking. "You passed." I grinned. "You doubted me?" He glared but stopped when he saw my grin turn into a melancholy smile. "... I didn't…" I slowly nodded.
"... Heh.. so what changed?" He crossed his arms. "Before you yelled at the civilians," I explained.
"I let Pikachu and Kirishima do the saving while I did the heavy lifting." He told me.
"Ah, so they didn't deduce your points." I muttered as an agent came over and handed us some forms with our results and suggestions on what needed to change.
I got a high score. I didn't overthink but I wasn't as efficient as I could have been.
I peaked over Bakugo's shoulder and snorted at his low yet passing score. "What did they recommend?" I snickered.
"... Shut up you damn nerd." He growled. I laughed as he stomped away.
I saw Inasa and Shoto conversing while looking at each other's papers.
Maybe they could be friends now, it would be nice for Shoto to socialize.
"Deku! They're gonna take us to a place so they can take our picture!" Ochako called out. I grinned and ran over.
I stared at my new Provisional Hero License and I have to say.
I was proud of myself, I came so far, made so many changes, helped so many people. Now I can do it without having to worry too much about the law.
Now I just need to figure out who to do my work study with.
Staring at the card, I didn't notice Camie stalking behind me, she lunged, making me jump as she hugged me from behind. "Camie?!" I looked at her and blushed. "Look, look!" She held her card in front of me.
I looked at her card and smiled. "Looking good as always." I complimented her. "Oh you have such a way with words~." She stuck her tongue out playfully.
I laughed as she let go to show the others. "I better send this to my mom and All Might." I took pictures of the card and sent them.
"Deku?" I blinked as I looked up to see Ochako looking at me with a shy look. "Oh hey Uraraka, oh umm about that date…"
"Tomorrow?" She asked. "Yeah… Tonight I think we're gonna be pretty occupied." I responded with a grin.
"PARTY AT THE DORMS!" Mina cheered as she ran into the bus.
I smiled and as I was about to pick up my case, I felt the tingling sensation again… It wasn't danger though…
"You dolt! Don't use that!" I turned around and my eyes went wide.
I saw 2 transparent figures, two I recognized very well. "You can't just take our supplies and throw them at the enemy!" The first figure scolded
"We'll be fine, we have our weapons." The second figure responded. Then they disappeared.
"Midoriya, are you alright?" I jumped as I looked at Iida. "Oh… yeah, I'm fine." I answered as I looked at the spot where the two figures were. "Let's go."
"GET HER!" Eri ran out of the kitchen of the dorms with a plastic container full of cookies in her arms. Mina, Denki and Sero were running after her.
I watched with an amused look as Eri ran past me. "Don't let her eat all those sweets!" Iida joined the chase. I rolled my eyes as my mom walked over.
"You think it was wise to give her that container?" I asked her. Mom giggled. "She won't eat them all." She assured me.
"I'll take your word for it." I muttered. "Eri, sweetie." I called out, making the little girl stop in her tracks, the pursuers stopped also but stumbled and fell just a few inches next to her.
"No sweets before dinner." I told her, making the unicorn girl pout. I laughed. "No." I grabbed the container with black whip and pulled it away from her, catching it. "I've seen your cute pouts Eri, they won't work on me."
"Even Bakugo can't say no when she pouts.." Mina grumbled as she got up.
I rolled my eyes and handed mom the container. "Here you go." Inko placed a hand on my cheek with teary eyes. I blinked as she smiled. "I'm so proud of you.." I smiled back and hugged her.
"Thanks mom.." I pulled away and walked over to Eri, picking her up. "Let's go to the table." I told her while pinching her cheek, Eri nodded and I carried her away.
After dinner, everyone was in the common area, some were on the couch playing the newest Heroes Slam 5, a game that was like street fighters but with known heroes. I was surprised that there was something like that but I have to admit… I had fun playing it.
"Stop. Spamming. THE KICK BUTTON!" Kaminari growled as he was trying to escape the onslaught of kicks I was giving, he was playing as Snipe, I was playing as Miruko.
I smirked. "Then move noob." I taunted as I moved out of the way, Snipe tried to shoot but I used a special move to beat him down.
"Gah!" Kaminari dropped the controller and crossed his arms.
"My turn!" Mina grabbed the controller. "Here." I gave the controller to Eri who was on my lap.
Mina looked at me with a heated glare. "You're the personification of evil…" She hissed.
Mina knew she couldn't beat Eri. It would upset her and no one wanted to do that.
"Who, me?" I asked in faux confusion. "I'm simply giving my little sister a chance to play." I grinned.
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Taking it out, I checked and saw it was a message from Tsukauchi.
"Camie, could you hold Eri, I need to take this." I put Eri on Camie's lap who nodded, I went outside and looked at the text.
~Illuminati~
Detective: Kurogiri has been spotted in Minetsu Woods.
MightyMan: Why is this my name and what's with the chat name?
Dekiru: Your Mighty All Might, and the name is a reference.
Nezu Changed his name to RatOverlord
RatOverlord: I believe the name refers to the fact that we are in the know of Midoriya's true identity and the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
Dekiru: Right in one.
OldTorino: …. I'm gonna give you an ass whooping the next time I see you.
Dekiru: So, Kurogiri was sighted, has there been any reports on seismic activity, or reports of a large beast in the same area?
Detective: I'll look into it.
MightyMan: You've been watching too many crime films haven't you, Young Midoriya?
Dekiru: In my past life, they're very entertaining even though they aren't realistic.
OldTorino: I agree, CSI is a masterpiece.
Dekiru: They still have that?!
OldTorino: The longest one is season 45… Lost it's touch after 20
RatOverlord: Back to the matter at hand.. Once Gigantomachia is found, we must act quickly.
Dekiru: I agree, we could use some heroes to back us up, he's very powerful, able to take on Mt. Lady to a stalemate.
Detective: I could probably get her and Kamui Woods to join in this operation.
RatOverlord: Might I suggest Ryukyu as well, her dragon form will be a great support as well as Mt. Lady's enlarged form.
MightyMan: And the WWP, I think that their quirks will help in locating and communicating.
Dekiru: This can work… We will also need to restrain the beast so Kamui will be a big help.
RatOverlord: So happy to see a plan coming together, do not worry, I will permit you to attend the operation once the location is revealed.
Dekiru: Thank you for trusting me.
OldTorino: Do I need to be there too..
RatOverlord: Yes
Dekiru: Yes
RatOverlord: In any case. Midoriya, I believe that your friends are looking for you. Go have fun.
I raised an eyebrow… Was that an order or…
The door to the dorms opened with Ochako looking at me. "Deku, come on, Eri's beating everyone!" She giggled as she went back inside.
I smiled softly as I made my way back inside. I felt so lucky.
Darkness… That's all I saw.
This… wasn't the visage world…
Soon, light filled my vision as I found myself in a small … camp.
"Percy!" I turned and saw a blond girl walking towards a black haired boy, the boy had a bronze sword in his hand and … metal bracers on his arms.
"We need to move, those cyclopes will find us soon." The blonde told him.
"Where's Tyson?" Percy asked. "Haven't seen him.." The blond frowned. "Annabeth…" Percy sighed.
He was about to respond but we locked eyes. "Do.. You see that?" Then darkness..
I couldn't feel anything, just cold…
Light filled my vision for a moment before my eyes adjusted, I was now in a hallway.
Where am I?
"Yang, you gotta study more…" I turned and saw 4 girls walking towards me.
"Rubes, I'm fine." The blonde bombshell waved her arm.
"No, she's right, we need to excel in Professor Port's classes." The white haired girl chided.
"As if you can hear anything noteworthy in his stories." The dark haired girl with a bow on her head commented.
"I mean it's so small that…" The girl with black hair with red tips stopped as she saw me, her silver eyes widened. "What-"
CRACK!
I woke up with a massive headache as I shot up from my bed.
I was in my room in the UA dorms… I was fine…
What was that… How could they see me… Why did I see that…
Why… were they familiar…
"Henry… Selina.." I muttered as I looked at my palm. "What the hell…?"
"Percy?!" Annabeth ran over and pulled him up. "What happened?" She asked.
Percy rubbed his forehead as he looked at the spot where the astral figure was a moment ago.. "I don't know… We need to leave." He turned Riptide back into its pen form and put it in his pocket as he picked up his backpack.
"We need to find Tyson.." Percy looked at the spot once more… What the hell was that..
"Ruby?!" Yang knelt next to Ruby who held her head in pain.
"I'm fine… just a random headache.." Ruby waved her sister off as she looked at the spot where she saw the figure.
"Should we take you to the nurse?" Weiss asked, concerned.
"No.. I'm fine.." She muttered as she rubbed her arm… What was that?
In an underground base somewhere, a scientist was backed against the wall. "Sir we need more time.." A scientist yelped as he dodged a thrown keyboard.
"I've waited 10 years.." Null growled as he looked at the portal prototype. "I want you to get me results or else I'll find someone else to get them!" He screamed as the scientists who cowered at his heated glare.
Rubbing his forehead to soothe the headache, he took a deep breath and muttered. "A little more time Gia.. I'll be back to you.." He glared at the prototype as he scratched his head. The blueprints being kept away from him was only a setback.
He won't stop. Not until he's returned. Nothing will stop him
