Chapter 3: Exam Slam

It had been months since Izuku got cursed. And since then a few things had changed. Many of his classmates started to be nicer to him. But that was because he knew they genuinely believed that he might snap one day and become a villain. Though that one girl who came from a family of exorcists had become genuinely nice to him, he realized she probably felt bad testing him like everyone and well he was cursed now… he just couldn't get a break it seemed like.

So she was the one he turned to when it came to magic problems along with the internet.

Though to be fair his was still freaking out about the whole magic is real thing.

But she was a good source of magic information.

Though there was a conversion he did have with her.

"I don't think there's any magic that can regrow organs. Sorry Midoriya… but why are you asking." Said the girl.

"Oh my personal trainer lost some of his organs during a villain attack…" said Izuku.

"Oh no… that's horrible…" said the girl.

"I was hoping there was a magical way to save him." Sighed Izuku.

"While magic and other strange things might be able to help, I don't of any way to help him… sorry…" said the girl.

Izuku nodded, he figures it was unlikely but he still wanted to try.

Of course over the course of these months Izuku got stronger due to his training.

Both forms benefited from the training…

Which meant that the launches when Katsuki angered his him in cursed form started slowly getting farther and farther.

And unfortunately this weighed heavily on Izuku.

"What's wrong Young Midoriya?" asked All Might.

"I'm prone to anger in my cursed form…" sighed Izuku.

"I know that." Said All Might.

He had also looked at the blog post from Akane. Talking about how in her youth she was prone to anger… and would launch her then fiancé high into the air whenever he angered her. And that she feared that the people cursed by her spring would do the same thing to people.

"Well my training… I've been getting stronger in both forms… the other day I punched Kacchan into the next town over." Said Izuku.

"What?" asked all Might with a sweat drop.

"I'm worried about what if I send him into space and kill him!" cried Izuku.

All Might sighed at that.

"Have you apologized to him?" asked All Might.

"I used to… but he told me not to anymore…" sighed Izuku.

"What?" thought All Might with a sweat drop.

"When this first started happening I would apologize every single time." Said Izuku, "But…"

"It's fine…" said All Might with a sweat drop.

He couldn't help but to wonder why.

However this helped All Might with an idea.

"I was planning for you to learn this once you've gotten my quirk but I might have an idea for training." Said All Might.

"Really?" asked Izuku.

He began to learn how to hold back while using the "Mega-ton" punches when Dealing with Bakugo.

And hopefully learning how to hold back with punches would help

Though there was hiccups in learning to hold back.

After another incident where he punched Bakugo, Bakugo managed to find him in front of his apartment building.

"What the fuck Deku! You're holding back!" yelled Bakugo, "Are you looking down on me"!

"No! I still don't know why you think that way." Said Izuku.

"Then why are you holding back?" asked Bakugo.

"Because I've been training for UA and I've been getting stronger in both forms and I'm worried that I might accidently kill you if I don't hold back." Said Izuku.

Bakugo blinked at this.

"Fuck…" he muttered realizing that Izuku had a point.

After all he had been launching him high into the air and was literally sent to the next town over the time before that time. Any higher or farther just might kill him.

He began to walk away.

"You better not kill me!" yelled Bakugo, "Because I'm going to be the number 1 hero… and I'm not dying because of someone who's useless."

Izuku sweat dropped at that reaction.

Of course as the months went on it was the day of the exam.

Izuku got some more early training.

He was screaming on top of a pile of trash when All Might found him.

He smiled, granted a lot of it stemmed from the massive strength boost of his cursed form,. But he was still proud.

However he saw that boy shake a little and was about to fall off the trash pile and managed to catch him.

"All Might." Said Izuku.

"You've done a good job my boy." said All Might.

A rogue wave nearby him them if not for Izuku dodging it.

"Why does it keep happening when I call you that?" asked All Might.

"I think the curse knows…" said Izuku with a sweat drop.

"You know I'd believe that…" sighed All Might.

He looked at his soon successor.

"These last 10 months have been quite a lot." Said All Might, "Especially what happened during the summer. But you work really does show."

He looked at Izuku who had gained quite a bit of muscle despite swearing a tank top.

Izuku was blushing.

"I think my other form helped me a lot." Said Izuku, "I guess it was lucky that I didn't get a bad curse."

"Still you shouldn't have gotten cursed." Said All Might, "But that doesn't matter… you still cleaned this entire beached even the area beyond the limits I gave you."

Izuku blushed at this.

"You have earned this, even after all of your hardships." Said all Might plucking a hair from his head, "Now… eat this!"

Izuku stared at the hair in horror.

"What?" he said.

"In order to pass on One for All you need to consume my DNA." Said All Might.

Izuku eventually ate the hair coughing the entire time.

"That was horrible." He bemoaned.

"It wasn't that bad." Said All Might.

Izuku threw him a look as if saying "You're lucky this side of me isn't quick to anger…"

"Okay.. you might have a point…" said All Might.

While Izuku-Chan never hurt him or hit him, he was little terrified of her temper.

"I don't feel any different." Said Izuku.

"Oh that's because it has to digest." Said All Might.

"I see…" said Izuku, "So… how do I activate it?"

Well for me there was always a little trick." Said All Might.

"Which is?" asked Izuku.

"Clench your butt cheeks tight and yell from the button of your heart… "Smash"." Said All Might.

"What?" asked Izuku staring at his mentor.

"Well it always helped me." Said All Might blushing.

Izuku sighed.

"Oh shouldn't you be getting ready for the exam?" asked All Might.

"Oh man you're right!" said Izuku almost panicking.

And so he got back home, ate breakfast and went to UA for the exams.

As this wasn't his first time at the school he wasn't in awesome but it still was an important day and he couldn't stare at the budling.

"Out of the way Deku!" yelled Bakugo.

"Okay!" said Izuku setting out hf way.

He watched Bakugo enter the budling and he sighed.

He headed into the budling.

However that was when he tripped.

"Really?" he thought with a sweat drop.

That was when he found himself floating.

"Sorry!" said a rather cheerful voice, "I used my quirk on you… I hope you didn't mind. It's bad luck to trip before an exam."

He turned around and saw it was a girl with shoulder length brown hair.

"Oh that's fine! It's a really cool quirk." Said Izuku as he floated there.

Thanks to talking to that one girl in class sometimes about magic matter and being cursed to turn in a girl himself he was more confident when it came to talking to girls.

She placed her hands together putting him back down on the ground.

""We should head inside!" said the girl, "Good luck!"

"You too!" said Izuku.

She ran into the budling where Izuku soon followed.

After the written exam is was time for the practical exam. But first orientation for the practical exam.

"All right! Every one say "Hey!" called out a hero who was the one giving orientation.

No one gave a response.

"All right… we got a subbed crowd here." Said the hero.

"That's Present Mic… I listen to his radio show every day!" squeed Izuku.

As they went to the same school he sat with Bakugo who rolled his eyes at Izuku's reaction.

Present Mic informed them all how the exam would work. They would be fighting robots in fake cities which each had a point value.

"The best way to fight them might be activate my curse… but should I try it first…" mumbled Izuku.

A bad habit he had was going on a mutter spree whenever he thought really hard.

"Excuse me! I was a have question" called out a voice.

A very tall boy with dark blue hair and glasses stood up.

"The pamphlet said that there are four types of robots! Yet you're explaining that there are only three robots… I would have through UA would have better standards." Said the boy.

The boy then turned to Izuku.

"You with the curly hair! Can you please stop you muttering. Everyone else taking this exam seriously. Go home if you can't." muttered the boy.

Izuku covered his mouth.

"You're still a coward as boy…" muttered Bakugo.

Izuku blushed at that moment.

""That's a good point… I just haven't explained my point yet." Said Present Mic.

He explained that the last robot was a Zero Pointer, something designed to be an obstacle.

Present Mic ended the presentation with a quote form Napoleon and giving the School Motto "Go beyond Plus Ultra!"

Soon enough they were bused to their locations of the practical exam. Which thankfully Izuku didn't share with Bakugo.

He looked around, he was allowed to bring along bottles of cold and hot water to activate the curse if he wanted to.

And he figured there was a chance that he would want to.

But decided to wait and see if he could do it has himself or not.

As they were waiting for the test to begin he noticed the girl he met earlier trying to relax.

He was about to approach her to help her when that same boy from earlier grabbed him.

"Stop now…" he said, "Don't you dare think about it."

"What?" asked Izuku.

"Can't you see she's trying to relax… you'll just end up distracting her." Said the boy.

"I was trying help her like she helped me earlier…" said Izuku.

The boy blinked.

"What?" he asked.

"I tripped at the entrance and she stopped me…" said Izuku, "I wanted to help her in return… by helping her relax."

"I see…" said the boy who honestly wasn't expecting that answer, "I apologies for thinking the worst…"

Izuku breathed a sigh of relief, his cursed form did help him in his confidence while as a boy… if only just a little.

But before the conversation could continue, suddenly Present Mic yelled out "Go! Go! Go!"

Everyone was confused however Present Mic just yelled out, "There's no countdowns in real battle!"

And so everyone ran into the exam space which really did look like a city.

Izuku was suddenly attacked by a One-Pointer.

However some kind of sparkly beam hit.

"Thank you being the perfect decoy." Said a blonde boy wearing a gaudy belt, "But I'm afraid we won't be meeting again. Adieu!"

Izuku sighed.

"I'm going to have to use my curse form…" sighed Izuku.

He took out the cold water bottle and poured it on himself.

In a room where the teachers were observing they saw Izuku transform into Izuku-Chan.

"Is that a Jusenkyo Curse?" asked one of the teachers.

"Interesting…" said a female teacher who looked at a rather grumpy teacher in the back, "I bet you'll have fun teaching them if they get in…"

The teacher just glared at her in response.

"There's actually several students who are cursed that are applying." Said Principial Nezu, "Though only a couple have useful curses…"

"At least their still human… even if it's a gender bend." Said another teacher.

"Yes… it could be far worse for them." Said Principial Nezu.

All Might who was also watching noticed the way that the grumpy teacher was watching.

He quickly realized that teacher was the one who was cursed.

Back at the testing site, many people were staring at Izuku, including the boy with glasses.

"What a weird quirk." Someone said.

"That's not a quirk… it's a curse." Said another student nearby.

"What?" was a response.

"You don't' want to know…" said another student.

And so Izuku-Chan began to fight the robots.

Punching out a 1 Pointer until it was only scrap, then making a make shift weapon from part of the wreckage.

"This should help." Said Izuku-Chan.

She began to beat a lot robots.

However occasionally she noticed that one of the other students were injured and couldn't fight back and so she saved them.

One of them was a blonde boy who seemed to not be able to use his quirk for some reason.

She punched the robot away from the boy.

"Hey! Are you okay?" asked Izuku-Chan.

The blonde boy blinked at the girl who had just saved him.

"I'm fine…" he managed to get out.

"Oh good." Said Izuku-Chan.

That was when more robots showed up.

"Well good luck!" said Izuku-Chan.

The blonde boy nodded and watched as she punched away more robots.

"She's an angel…" was the thought as he watched her do that.

He shook his thoughts away and went to look for someone else with a powerful quirk.

His name was Neito Monoma and his quirk let him copy the quirks of other people.

And after she saved him there was no way he was going to copy hers…

"We have 3 minutes left!" called out Present Mic.

Izuku-Chan sighed, she wasn't sure how many point she had gotten, but knew it had to be a lot.

She decided to change back to being a boy for the last three minutes so that he wouldn't have to rely on his cursed form all the time.

He took a breath and tried to summon the quirk.

Back in the observation room.

"I think it's time for the real test to begin." Said Principal Nezu.

He pushed a button.

Back at the testing ground everything began to shake.

"Was that an earthquake?" thought Izuku.

He turned to the rumbling and saw a massive robot.

IT was the zero pointer.

"That's the zero pointer!" yelled Izuku.

Everyone was running away from it and Izuku was going too as well.

However he heard someone cry out.

He turned and saw it was the born haired girl. She was under some rubble.

His eyes widened in horror.

Without thinking he ran in to save her.

At the same time he felt it… the Quirk, One for All…

He listened (to admittingly poor) advice by clenching his butt cheeks and shouting at the top of his lungs "SMASH!"

He gave a mighty leap and punched the giant robot.

However there was a huge problem.

What goes up must come down…

He was falling as he fell he realized something horrible.

He completely shattered the bones in both legs and arm he used to punch.

"Oh no!" thought Izuku, "What am I going to do! How am I going to save myself?"

Thankfully right before he hit the ground he felt a slap on his face.

He saw it was the girl and he was now floating.

"Release…" she said putting her hand to together.

And then she vomited all over the ground.

Once her stomach was empty she got up and walked over to check on him.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"I don't' think so… but I think I got enough points… I forgot to keep track…" said Izuku.

"I'm sure you'll get in…" said the girl.

"Maybe…" said Izuku who passed from the pain.

Time was called and the exam was over.

However the other students gathered around in shock.

"Why did he do that he didn't get any point…" said one of the other students.

The boy with glasses saw the way that everyone was reacting to

this.

"They doesn't understand what he did…" thought the boy, "He put himself in danger to help her… not to mention he saved a bunch people when he was girl…"

That was when a thought struck him as he realized something.

Recovery Girl showed up and when she saw him she sighed.

"Honestly" she muttered.

She had the feeling that she should get used to him getting severally injured.

She kissed him and his injuries healed.

At the same time Monoma was looking for Izuku-Chan and couldn't find her.

He was not one of the ones who witnessed either transformation… so he didn't know.

But he wanted to meet Izuku-Chan for more than one reason.

Once Izuku regained conciseness he sighed as he headed home.

He had hoped that he passed the exam.

When he got home Inko had told him that All Might would be busy for a while so he wouldn't be able to answer his phone if he texted.

"Toshinori is a busy man after all." Said Inko as she told him.

Izuku sighed at that.

Inko and All Might became close during those many months. She often invited him for dinner and even got on first name basis with him.

IT was just weird for Izuku for that to happen.

It was already surreal getting trained by All Might… having mom on first name basis with him was just something else.

But having that information that All Might was busy during this tine helped with any worried he might have had about not passing.

After about a week, Izuku was lifting some weights in his room when there was a knock on the door.

"Izuku honey can you get that!" called out Inko who was making dinner.

Izuku got the door and it was All Might in his sickly form.

"All Might!" said Izuku somewhat quietly .

"I came here personally to deliver a letter!" said All Might.

Izuku was confused then he saw it was from UA.

"Hello Toshinori!" said Inko as they entered the living room.

"I got my UA letter!" said Izuku.

"Do you want to open it in private?" asked Inko.

"I think I will." Said Izuku who was kind of nervous with both All Might and his mom there.

He went into his room and took a breath hoping that he got enough points.

HE found that the letter wasn't a letter but rather a hologram disk.

It immediately came to life.

"I am here! As a projection!" said a projection of All Might.

"All Might? I thought this was from UA." Said Izuku.

"IF you're wondering why I'm here you are looking at UA's newest teacher!" said the Projection of All Might, "Which is the reason why I wasn't able to talk to you for the week but I decided it wasn't a bad idea to tell your mother…"

That was when someone off screen said something.

"What I have to do how many?" asked All Might's projection.

Izuku sighed at the antics of his mentor.

"Now you're written exam was passed with flying colors. AS for the practical exam, you have gotten 32 points which is quite a respectable amount of point." Said the projection of All Might.

Izuku gulped hoping that it was enough points and then All Might started to grin.

"That's not all, for you see fighting villains aren't the only points." Said the All Might projection.

"What?" asked Izuku.

"Let me show you something before explaining." Said all Might.

That was when the projection switched to the brown haired girl.

"Present Mic… can I talk to you?" asked the brown haired girl.

"Of course Little listener." Said Present Mic.

"There was a boy with curly green hair who was kind of plain." Said the girl.

Izuku sighed at that description.

"Anyways I was hoping I could give him some of my point." Said the girl.

Izuku's eyes widened.

"He could have gotten a more points but he broke himself saving me." Said the girl.

It switched back to All Might.

"UA can't ignore when someone shows themselves to be a true hero, that is why there is a second set of points." Said All Might.

There were more images of Izuku-Chan saving the others.

"That is why we have a secondary point system for hero points." Said All Might.

Izuku gaped as he saw his final score: 32 villain points, 80 hero points. Giving him 112 and first place in the exam.

"Welcome to your hero academia!" said All Might.

The hologram ended and he went to the living room/dining room area.

"I got first place!" said Izuku in shock.

"Oh Izuku! I k new you passed but I didn't think you got first place!" said Inko hugging him.

Izuku looked at All Might who looked rather sheepish for telling his mom that.

"You did pass!" said All Might getting up, "But remember this is just beginning you still have a long way to go… especially with One for All."

"I do still need to figure out how to use it properly." Said Izuku with a nod.

All Might smile .

"We should be celebrating!" said Inko, "Save this talk for after dinner."

Izuku nodded.

After all this was holding the beginning… for both him training to be a hero and the madness that was going to be his life…

Next Time': It's the first day of school! not only does Izuku have to perform in a quirk assessment but he will also meet the teacher and find out that another student in the other hero class has a curse too! What will happen? Find out next time!

A/N: Yes I confirmed that Aizawa is the one cursed... You'll see his curse in the next chapter. Also I bet you guys didn't guess that Monoma would fall for Izu-Chan.
