Chapter 3: The burning point

Shoto and another person were face to face shouting at each other.

"You're just the same as that murderous psychopath!" the boy shouted.

"NEVER COMPARE ME TO THAT BASTARD!" Shoto shouted back, "I'm not him and I never will be!"

Shoto had flames at the ready while the other guy gathered air. Before anything could happen, someone approached them.

Earlier…..

A few days had passed. The time had finally come for the License exam. Class 1A had exited the bus.

"Well, looks like we're finally here," Jiro said, "Suddenly I feel nervous..."

Kaminari hugged Jiro from behind and began to pet the top of her head.

"Now, now Jiro. calm down," he said.

Momo approached the two.

"Kaminari I don't think petting Jiro is gonna calm her-" Momo said.

Jiro sighed happily and was immediately calm, much to Momo's surprise.

'It calmed her down?!' she thought.

"I may be dumb but I'm no idiot when it comes to my Kyoka," Kaminari said.

"This is it, the moment where you all hatch into pro heroes," Aizawa said, "Once you receive your licenses, you'll be able to participate in real herowork."

"Well what are we waiting for?" Kirishima asked, "Let's show these guys what we can do! Plus..."

"ULTRA!" someone else shouted, startling the red-head.

Kirishima turned around to see someone who looked a bit taller than him. Another student wearing a similar uniform approached him.

"Inasa, it's rude to interrupt someone's speech," he said.

Inasa bowed down.

"My deepest apologies!" he said.

"Who was that?" Izuku asked.

"That's Inasa," Aizawa said, "He was given a recommendation to attend U.A, but he declined it and attended Shiketsu High."

"That's odd," Izuku said, "U.A is one of the best running schools!"

"Well, the reason he turned it down is because-" Aizawa began.

"ERASERRRRRRR!" said a cheerful voice.

Aizawa knew that voice all too well. He turned to see a woman with long green hair. Izuku looked at her.

"She looks familiar," Izuku said.

"Let's get married," the woman said to Aizawa.

"Hell no," Aizawa said.

Mina started writing things down in her handy dandy ship book. The woman laughed.

"You're a riot!" she said.

"You're impossible to talk to. Joke," Aizawa said, "Then again that's always the case."

Izuku recognized her.

"Oh yea, that's Ms Joke the smile hero!" Izuku said, "Herquirkisoutburstanditmakespeoplelaughwhicheffectstheirabilitytothinkandshealways-"

"There he goes again," Katsuki said.

Shinso chopped Izuku lightly on the back.

"That's enough," he said.

Joke looked at Shinso.

"Is he your secret love child or something?" she asked.

"Well they do look alike, they barely get any sleep, their fighting styles are similar, and they spend a lot of time-ACK!"

Aizawa used his capturing scarf to silence Izuku.

"Shut. The fuck. Up." he said.

"Yes sir…" Izuku said.

While they were talking, Shoto couldn't help but notice Inasa glaring at him as he walked inside the stadium. He shrugged it off.

'I wonder what his deal is' he thought.

"What who's deal is?" Momo asked.

Shoto turned around to see Momo.

"Uh... I didn't say anything," he said.

"Oh, well I must be hearing things," Momo said.

Later on everyone was inside listening to a lecture on how the first test was going to go. Everyone was given three weakpoint patches to put around their costumes. Whoever gets hit on those three areas is out of the first round. Izuku had this part in the bag, because he could rely on danger sense to alert him when to avoid attacks.

The gates began to open and everyone scattered around. Izuku and company started going around.

"Oh shit!" Jiro said.

"We know aall your tricks from the sports festival, so they won't work on us!" one of them said.

Balls flew from all directions. Acting quickly, Izuku leaped up in the air. He channeled 50% of OFA around his legs and did a strong spinning whirlwind.

"Las Vegas SMASH!"

He pushed dozens of the balls away, some of them hitting a few of the weak points. Izuku sensed someone was about to attack while he was vulnerable. Izuku quickly turned around and used Blackwhip. The whip began to solidify and it hit the ground causing a quake, throwing the student off balance. Ms Joke was watching.

"Geez, that Deku kid certainly has tricks up his sleeve doesn't he?!"

"Obviously," Aizawa said, "Not that I'm surprised."

Ms Joke started laughing.

"Don't be so embarrassed, that's so like you!" Ms Joke said, "Please date me."

"Shut up."

Class 1A split up to find cover from all the oncoming attacks. Meanwhile, Shoto found some cover near a rock. Shoto took cover from the balls when He turned to see Inasa glaring at him.

"What do you want from me?" he asked.

"Wow, I knew you were dense, but I didn't think you were dumb," Inasa said, "What I want is revenge. On you."

"What did I do?" Shoto asked.

"Don't you play dumb with me, son of Endeavor," Inasa said.

Shoto's eyes widened and then contorted to an angry look.

"That old bastard is no father of mine!" He said with disgust.

"Then why do you have his power?!" Inasa snapped back, "And why do you go all out like that monster did?!"

"Because it's my power and I choose how to use it! What I DON'T do is destroy property and kill just to prove some point! Trust me! I'm hoping he's getting gang banged by his prison mates as much as you are!" Shoto told him.

Inasa didn't listen to reason. He decided to use his quirk on Shoto, blasting him with a blast of air, sending him flying toward a wall. When Shoto hit said well, Inasa flew towards him, grabbed him by the neck and slammed him back on the wall while Shoto trying to break free from his grip.

"I've waited for this moment my entire life," he said.

Momo had just finished helping her team out of a scrape. She saw Shoto with Inasa.

When she did, she created a staff while running towards Inasa from behind and swung her staff right on the side of his face, hitting his ear.

He dropped Shoto and turned around to look at Momo.

"I see you've taken on a bitch," Inasa said, "Does she have a name, or should I just call her collateral damage."

"Hey watch your mouth!" Shoto said.

"I don't know where you've gotten the idea that Todoroki is like that bastard of a father, but he's proven time and time again that he's nothing like him!" She said.

"I don't recall asking for your opinion!" Inasa said, "The last thing this world needs is lip from a woman!"

Those exact words made Momo remember her childhood. She grew up with a supportive mother who wanted her to be a hero, but her father…. He preferred that she take over the company. She started to shake, reliving memories of her overbearing father.

'You were put on this earth to inherit the Yaoyorozu company! Not to wander around with something as pointless as herowork!'

'You will be running a billion dollar company! Stop fantasizing and focus on your studies!'

'The last thing I need is your opinion!'

Inasa started to smirk.

"Looks like I hit a nerve," he said

Todoroki took the time to freeze Inasa's legs.

"Yaoyorozu!" Shoto said.

Momo snapped out of her trance, and saw she now had the upper hand. While she had him in the corner, Shoto grabbed three balls, then threw them at Inasa, knocking him off the platform onto something soft. He managed to hit all of his weak spots in one hit! He turned to Momo.

"Thank you," he said.

"You're welcome," Momo said.

'Damn... her smile could really put the sun to shame' he thought.

Momo looked at him funny.

'That's odd. I could've sworn I heard a voice.' she thought

'We're so getting married after this.' Shoto thought.
